The atmosphere of peace and tranquility did not last long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The little guy outside the door reported again, and several students from Guozijian and Taixue asked to see him. Today, all the ministers are here, and these students have a thought to propose that everyone meet together, first, to avoid the suspicion of befriending the powerful, and secondly, it is difficult for the adults to keep everyone out. Zeng Gongliang smiled when he heard it, isn't this the same as what he did just now, and said: "It's rare to have a sincere heart from Jingjing students, see it!"

Although it was a soliciting tone, a decision was made, and several other adults said that they had no objections.

In less than a moment, I saw six or seven sons waiting outside the private room, but the leader rushed in in a hurry.

This man was tall and thin, with a purple and gold crown on his head, a longan-sized pearl set on the crown, and a brocade round-necked samurai robe with a scarlet bird and beast pattern, and a belt decorated with red sapphires around his waist. He rushed in and saw Chris sitting at the bottom, seeing that the person's eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and his facial features were as delicate as a jade plate, so that people couldn't help but look at it, and he couldn't help but take his eyes off it.

Chris seemed to notice the gaze of the person looking at her, so he also looked over, and his eyes on the person couldn't help but change, isn't this the uncle Xiangguo.

At this time, the students behind him entered the door one after another, Xiang Zonghui turned his head to the first few adults, hugged his hands, and said loudly: "Students bring all of you classmates and seniors to meet a few adults!"

The reputation of this uncle has never been good, and the ministers were unwilling to refute the face of the prince Xiang Jing and Xiang Queen, so they had to raise their hands, which was considered a return gift, but Cao Kai did not even raise his eyelids.

The few who came in later saluted one by one.

The older person is named Shangguan Jun, the word Yanheng, and Shao Wuren. A literati common dress, simple and elegant, with good manners. Sima Guang and Fan Zhen nodded slightly when they saw it, and their faces showed appreciation.

The second student's name is Ye Zuqia, the word Dunli, he is twenty years old, eight years younger than Shangguan Jun, but the two are classmates. As soon as Ye Zuqia stood up, several adults cast curious glances. Ye Zuqia has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he has outstanding knowledge, Jiayou took the township examination in eight years, and he was only eighteen years old when he was in high school, and he came to Beijing to study, and everyone said that he must be the best candidate for the champion.

These two people are the leaders of the younger generation of students, and they are both children of Fujian, Zeng Gongliang couldn't help but feel that his face was wide open, and he said happily: "This Lu Huiqing is your fellow countryman and your senior, if you have any problems in your schoolwork, you can ask him for more advice." ”

Lu Huiqing immediately stood up and saluted back: "I have heard of Ye Jieyuan's name for a long time, and the Shangguan students who are well-educated are also like thunder, and they dare not take the advice, and the foolish brother is willing to learn from each other." ”

The Fujian people in the DPRK and China have faintly gathered into a force, Zeng Gongliang paid special attention to the students of his fellow villagers, and he was backed by the king of Chang, so he took precautions, which inevitably made people suspicious, this king of Chang was thinking about the dragon chair?

The third student stood up, only reported his name lightly and retreated. This Lu Dian, a farmer and a person from Jiangyou, was twenty-six years old at the time, and he was also a classmate of Ye Zuqia and Shangguan. His family is poor and reads, there is no light at night, and he reads in the moon. It is not far away, traveling all over the world, if you talk about knowledge, it is no worse than the previous two. Zhang Fangping felt that his life experience was the same as his own, and he saw that he was unassuming, and he admired him very much in his heart, but he did not show it easily.

After these three, a few more students came out to pay their respects.

Xiang Zonghui suddenly felt that his limelight had been stolen, so he took a step forward and interjected: "The student is the guest today. ”

Several adults followed his gaze, it was a young man in a blue shirt, with large sleeves and a wide collar, and even the skin of the neckline was visible, he was as quiet as a green pine, and his bookish air added a touch of wisdom to him.

Cao Kai also looked over, this person is dressed in his own style of Jin people, how good the Jin people are, the man's dusty temperament made him feel more familiar, and asked, "Who is this?"

The young man's name is Li Gonglin, when the word is Bo, he was born in a famous family in Shuzhou, but he advocates the Jin people, lives in Beijing and does not travel to the door of the powerful, so there are very few people who know him, but he is good at ancient times, erudite and talented, and the Qingzhou capital is known as "calligraphy and painting double wall".

He had to reply by himself: "Li Gonglin, who was born later, has seen Uncle Cao Xiaoguo and all the adults. ”

Li Gonglin's painting is hard to find, and the adults present can't help but be amazed, and then look at Uncle Xiangguo, all of them are thoughtful, and they say in their hearts: This person has never learned or learned anything, and there are also a group of gentlemen around him, and he causes trouble every day.

Li Gonglin glared at his classmate Li Zhiyi next to him, if he hadn't told him that the person he was inviting at today's banquet was Xie Yuan, who was famous for his talents, and a few seniors, how could he be willing to attend?

Li Zhiyi saw that he was angry, and he was aggrieved in his heart, it was indeed Master Xie Yuan who said that he was the east, who knew that when he arrived at the restaurant, he found that the main family had been replaced by Uncle Xiangguo, who had a bad reputation. He had to take a step forward and said: "The students are soft and hard, and today I have to ask Bo Shi to accompany me." ”

Fan Zhen asked, "Are you Li Zhiyi, the student of Chunren, the son of Fan Gong?"

Li Zhiyi nodded, "The student is exactly." ”

Zeng Gongliang stroked his beard and replied to Xiang Zong: "Uncle Xiang Guo can gather so many people here, but he has the ability. ”

Xiang Zonghui couldn't hear the meaning of these words, he was overjoyed, and said in his heart: This Ye Zuqia is familiar with current affairs, and what the master has done is good, and today he really invited Li Gonglin. Xiang Zonghui does not understand poetry and writing, but he loves vassal elegance, and usually loves to collect some antique calligraphy and paintings. I have long heard that Li Gonglin's painting skills are superb, and he came to the door to see him five times, but he was blocked back, so he was invited to come today.

So he immediately talked about his views on Li Gonglin's paintings, which were naturally full of praise.

Li Gonglin didn't feel good in his heart when he heard it, and he couldn't be happy when he was praised by a big straw bag.

Xiang Zong was about to say more, but Sima Guang's voice sounded over there.

He had finished eating, put the silver chopsticks on the pillow, and said quietly: "It's rare that Uncle Guo and a few adults are here, and they don't ask questions from the lower officials to test all the students." ”

As soon as Sima Guang said this, all the students looked at each other, and their hearts were very happy, and they were very happy to be able to ask questions from today's most prestigious Sima scholars, even if they were not right, it was also their own true knowledge, not to mention that there were several other important ministers of the court and the central government present, if they could leave a little impression, the title of the gold list in the future, and it would naturally be a great help to become an official. Everyone was eager to try for a while, just waiting for the examiner to come up with the questions.

Sima Guang pondered for a while, and said slowly: "What is the clear way of today's Confucianism, and what is your opinion?"

That Ye Zuqia was quick to think, thought for a moment, and then said: "There are two great Confucians in this world, one is Mr. Zhou Dunyi from Chu, and the other is Mr. Zhang Zai from Guanzhong. ”

Sima Guang nodded and said, "'There is Mr. Hengqu in the north and Mr. Lianxi in the south', these two are indeed the great Confucians of the world." ”

All the students nodded yes.

Chris was not interested in hearing Sima Guang say that he was going to solve the question, but it was obvious that the scene suddenly became lively, so he also looked up to see what the situation was.

Sure enough, a white-faced scholar stepped forward and replied, saying: "'Confucians, you should establish your heart for heaven and earth, establish your life for the people, continue your studies for the saints, and open peace for all generations', the students thought that these four sentences were the essence of Mr. Hengqu's doctrine. He said excitedly, with a complacent face, as if Zhang Zi's words were said by himself.

Chris said to himself: rote nerds!

Some students admired Zhou Zi more, so they said: "Mr. Lian Xi advocates 'literature to carry the Tao', and wants us to learn the virtue of a saint and achieve the realm of 'sincerity', and the students believe that no matter how they are a person or do things, they must uphold the attitude of 'sincerity', and everything is perfect, which is the way of Confucianism." ”

Ye Zuqia proposed Zhang Zai and Zhou Dunyi in one sentence, and everyone followed his train of thought to discuss. Some people say how Zhang Zi is, some people say that Zhou Zi is better, and the students obviously intend to show their faces in front of several adults, so they are particularly hard working today.

Although Chris didn't know anything about these two people, she still watched with great interest, and she was amused to see these students shaking their heads when they spoke.

A man in purple brocade stepped forward and bowed to everyone and said, "Fellow students, don't be impatient. His gaze settled on Ye Zuqia, and he spoke again, "Ye Xie Yuan can put forward the dispute between Zhang Zi and Zhou Zi, there must be a high theory, but unfortunately his words have not been finished yet, why don't you listen to him anymore?"

As soon as he heard this, the student who rushed to make a high statement before was blocked, he was a son-in-law, and he wanted to get a chance to show his face the most, so he worked hardest. At this time, he was reminded to react and steal the limelight for himself, and he quickly lowered his head.

Chris was looking at the excitement with a hint of a smile, and almost laughed when he saw this, and said in his heart: This purple-clothed student is really good at observing words and feelings, and taking the opportunity to flatter, just by virtue of these words just now, his official position in the future may not be smaller than that of these few scholars.

Huan, who was talking about it just now, everyone was silent at this moment, and their eyes swept towards Ye Jieyuan.

Ye Zuqia didn't care, he smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Mr. Hengqu's four sentences have already given the way to be a Confucian, respect the will of heaven, establish the sky, the earth, and the people, apply the scriptures, bow to the teachings, and then uphold the will of the sages, cultivate oneself, work together, and govern the country and the world." Zhang Zizhixue, inheriting the ambition of Confucius and Mencius, believes that only by cultivating morality can the world be stable. However, at present, the four are uneven, the north of the Liao State rejects the male soldiers, the soldiers and horses, and the Western Xia rebels, repeatedly violates the border, and the wolf is ambitious. If we treat each other with courtesy and educate with morality, wouldn't it be a case of seeking skin with the tiger? Zhou Zizhi's words are turned into reality, so that we can be pragmatic, understand the trend of the world, and listen to the destiny of heaven and close to personnel, then the world will be governed. ”

He spoke quickly and said the voices of many students, and several students next to him kept praising him, looking like they were sincerely convinced.

Zeng Gongliang saw that Ye Zuqia was really talented and quick-witted, and he was also happy to add icing on the cake, so he praised: "It's really not a loss to be the first in the township test, the export is a chapter, and the talent is excellent, and it lives up to the name of Xie Yuan!"

Lu Huiqing's eyes also lit up, and he said in his heart: This Ye Jieyuan admires Zhou Zizhi's theory, Mr. Lianxi has always been inclined to reform, and if he wants to change the current situation of poverty and weakness, he must attract talents. This man is a manufactur. I came with Zeng Xiangye today, but I didn't expect this harvest. ”

Ye Zuqia mentioned Liaoguo, and Chris listened to it in his ears, pursed his lips unconsciously, and thought thoughtfully. The materials she saw from the underground palace all explained some problems in the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, since the last years of the Renzong Dynasty, the country was poor and weak, and the army was naturally reduced accordingly, and now the treasury is empty. The Great Song Dynasty is known as the ceremonial state, but the power of the heavens and the appearance of the four seas being unified is just self-deception; and the Liao State is just the opposite, it is a country that pursues an iron-blooded policy and counters violence with violence, although the emperor of the Liao State has also recruited Han people into the court as officials in recent years, and seems to respect the customs and culture of the Han people, so that the Han people in the sixteen states of Youyun are relatively stable, but they also executed many Han people who resisted in private. In fact, the Liao State raised troops and gathered strength, expanded the army, and vigorously attacked the south.

When Ye Zuqia seemed to be dominant, Shangguan Jun was concentrating for a while, and finally stepped forward.

He said slowly: "Zhang Zizhi's learning, respect for etiquette and virtue, happiness and peace, take "Yi" as the sect, "The Mean" as the body, and Confucius and Mencius as the law. Only seeking to know people but not to know the sky, only seeking to be a sage and not a saint, this is the great concealment of Confucianism since the Qin and Han dynasties. To become virtuous, you must have the virtue to help the world and benefit all sentient beings. This is a matter of merit to the Shengmen and conducive to future learning, and life in the world can not only focus on the immediate disputes, and forget the benefits of the future generations. ”

Ye Zuqia said that Zhou Zi was practical at the moment, and Shangguan Jun said that Zhang Zigong was for a long time, and now it really became a dispute between Zhou Zi and Zhang Zi.

Fan Zhen also felt that Ye Zu was very good at arguing, but he preferred a talent like Shangguan Jun who was down-to-earth and practical, and he had a long-term vision, but he was a material for teaching and educating people.

Yes, the students also agreed with what Brother Shangguan said. Sages have virtue, and only by convincing people with virtue can the world be stable. The Liao State is still martial, how can it last long to counter violence with violence, even if it is called a temporary hegemon, it will not be able to dominate the world and make all nations submit!"

"Generosity and benevolence are the national style of the state, the establishment of academies, the education of the people, in order to eliminate the greedy heart, the people of the world are all good, everyone is reasonable, why fear the instability of the world, why fear the disobedience of foreign countries?"

Some students disagreed with the two of them, and said loudly: "Liao, Western Xia is a barbarian state, they are all wolves and tigers, how can they treat each other politely and educate each other with morality?"

The students argued, and when the Liao State was mentioned, they condemned it one after another, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

Seeing that they were all scholarly and detached from reality, Chris said in his heart: Are there still few examples of backward civilizations using force to conquer advanced civilizations in history?

Sima Guang still had a smile on his face, he didn't really want the students to say a reason for the question at this time, seeing that these two people had their own opinions, they were rewarded and advanced, and they had a reputation in their hearts.

Zhang Fangping had a good impression of Lu Dian, and seeing that he didn't speak at this time, he asked in a cold but slightly old voice: "Lu Xuexue, what do you think?"

Lu Dian's name was named, and when he noticed that everyone was looking at him again, he said with a little self-deprecation: "The student is not as good as the two classmates, the qualifications are dull, and the Six Classics have not yet been learned, how can he dare to make a big statement? ”

After listening to his answer, Zhang Fangping just held his beard and did not correct it, but he was quite satisfied, thinking that this student was low-key but profound, and he was really not mistaken.

Li Zhiyi listened to the admiration in her heart, nudged Li Gonglin with her hand, and said with her eyes that you didn't come with me in vain today.

Although Li Gonglin still has a slight remark about today's events in his heart, after thinking about it, the few students in front of him are not worthy of the current leaders, and today is not worth the trip.

These students speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, and listening to Chris's ears, it is like an old monk chanting scriptures, which makes people drowsy. And I think their words have a sour smell, and they are very boring. The initial interest was not left at the moment, she lowered her head and concentrated on eating, sandwiched a piece of honey crispy meat, put it in her mouth, the meat was crispy and fragrant, she couldn't help but praise secretly. This is a good restaurant in the capital, and she is afraid that there will be no less than ten processes for a single dish, and she has tasted seven or eight other flavors of this crispy meat, and she has spent so much effort. At the moment, she picked up the double chopsticks and feasted on them, and the students' theories of governing the world were all taken as a deaf ear by her.

Yuwen Zhishao only felt that the students were a little exaggerated, but it was good to have such an opinion.

Cao Kai was not interested in the remarks of these pedants at all, but watched with interest as if no one was eating and drinking next to Lan Yuanxiao.

As soon as Lu Dian's words stopped, everyone was silent.

At this time, Lu Huiqing smiled, her voice was very soft, with a sense of respect, and said: "All the students are insightful and refreshing. It's just that why don't you jump out of the dispute between Zhang Zi and Zhou Zi, maybe you can also think of another way, he writes a book every day, maybe today's dispute can be exchanged for another Zhang Zi or Zhou Zi tomorrow. ”

Ye Zuqia muttered and repeated this sentence, thoughtful, as if he had understood. What Lord Lu said in his heart is very true, why limit himself, I should send a post to visit him one day.

"The Word of God is a young talent. Zeng Gongliang said to Zhang Fangping next to him: "This year's champion Xu Anshi of Ding Weike is only twenty-seven years old, and his poems are highly valued by Ouyang Xiu and Wang Qi. The old man sees that these people are no worse than Xu Zhuangyuan, and they will be able to be named on the gold list in the coming year. ”

Zhang Fangping nodded.

"It's not easy for these students to gather here today, and it's really rare for us to get together, but it's a pity, Han Xianggong is busy mourning for the emperor, and Ouyang Gong is also at home and refuses to go out, if they are also today, wouldn't they all be together. Who knew that Zeng Gongliang's words suddenly changed, "Ouyang Gong has now tasted the taste of being impeached by the villain on trumped-up charges." ”

Before everyone could understand the purpose of his words, Cao Kai already understood. When he was still the envoy of the East Cabinet, and when he moved to Yingzhou to train the envoy, Ouyang Xiu impeached him, not according to the story of the imperial court, and entered the empty table for five years without coming to Beijing. Now Zeng Gongliang is sarcastic, which is nothing more than a show of goodwill to himself. At that time, he lived in the guest province, and he traveled all day long, concentrating on cultivation, and thought about returning to Beijing to thank his cousin. Ouyang Xiu's impeachment, he didn't take it to heart, he just smiled at the moment and didn't answer.

For a while, no one spoke, and only the slightest string sound could be heard in the private room.

Here, Xiang Zong Hui saw the three seniors talking eloquently, each of them into the eyes of several adults, he felt that if he didn't say anything, he would be almost forgotten, and suddenly thought of something, so he said: "The student has read Zhou Zi's "Taiji Diagram", the Taiji diagram drawn in the book is very exquisite, mysterious and mysterious, and the student thinks that Zhou Zi is better than Zhang Zi. ”

The bull's head he said was not the horse's mouth, Zhou Zizhi said that it was just because he added a Taiji diagram, which can be explained so simply, and everyone was moved by his words.

The back of the gauze tent sat behind the piano case, since the students came, they changed the low and soft crying repertoire, the sound of the piano came slowly, not only did not affect the conversation of everyone in the private room, but the sound of the piano was timely to cooperate with the students' conversation, which was pleasing to the eye.

Lianyi is also a learned woman, listening to the conversation inside while playing the piano, and when Xiang Zong replied to this, it really disturbed her mind to play the piano. There was a murmur on his fingertips, nearly breaking the strings.

When Xiang Zonghui said what he said just now, he felt that everyone else was secretly laughing at him, and this discordant piano sound sounded extremely harsh to him, as if a lowly prostitute dared to make fun of him.

His face was full of anger, gloomy and gloomy, and he roared angrily: "I don't know the so-called slut, but you serve like this?"

Everyone didn't expect him to be arrogant and domineering to such a situation, and he dared to act like this in front of several important ministers of the court, and everyone was stunned for a while.

Cao Kaijian's eyebrows were upside down, his face sank, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he didn't want Chris to suddenly shoot the case.

"Stop!" she stood up with an angry face on her face and walked over to the piano platform.

Xiang Zonghui was angry and bloody just now, and he came out according to his usual temperament, regretting his recklessness in his heart, although this is not the palace, but the seats are all important ministers in the court, surrounded by everyone, where to let him be wild, I wanted to take the opportunity to give himself a long face, so that a few important ministers left a good impression, and now it was all in vain.

Chris naturally didn't give him a good face, and scolded: "You don't have the ability to do it yourself, why are you angry with women!"

Xiang Zonghui He was scolded by someone pointing his nose like this, and he was blocked by this sentence of splitting his head and covering his face, and his face was red and red, and he was speechless.

Cao Kai was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lan Yuanxiao to scold so bluntly, but at this moment, he felt very useful in his heart. He glanced at Yuwen Zhishao, with a slight smug smile on his face, as if to say, look, it is worthy of being my Cao Kai's friend.

Yuwen Zhi Shao couldn't help but wonder, these two people are really "like-minded".

Chris walked into the gauze tent without saying a word, and Lian Yi really fell to the ground, her fingers were injured and bleeding. Chris knew that the person who played the piano was most afraid of finger injury, so he immediately squatted down, picked up her finger to check, and found that it was only a flesh wound, not a bone.

Xiang Zonghui really has never lost such a person, he has been so angry, and he is about to have a seizure, but when he thinks about it, this person in front of him can be in front of these important ministers of the court and call himself, and he has no confidence for a while, and he asked Ai Ai: "You ...... Who are you?"

Chris snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter who I am!"

She helped the woman up, then turned around and looked at Xiang Zonghui coldly.

Everyone saw that the eunuch stared at Xiang Zonghui's gaze with a coercive momentum, this momentum unconsciously made people hold their breath, but everyone was asking in their hearts, who is this?

Zeng Gongliang and Sima Guang also looked at each other, no matter which eunuch in the palace did not dare to go toe-for-tat with the queen's younger brother like this, even Lan Yuanzhen himself would not do so.

And just then, Chris spoke.

"The official family asked me to check whether the atmosphere of the Beijing division is corrupted today, and I have to reply when I go back, the first person to corrupt the atmosphere is Uncle Xiang Daguo!"

As soon as Chris opened his mouth, the emperor was lifted, and no one could stand this big hat buttoned down.

Xiang Zonghui immediately replied: "I didn't!"

"No, you are a bully, a weak woman. ”

"She dared to laugh at me as a lowly person......"

Chris interrupted him, "You are born rich and rich, you use your wealth lightly, you use it lightly and extravagantly, your father spoils you, your sister is used to you, but you are more and more arrogant and domineering." The official family asked me to check whether the powerful people in Beijing were poor in utensils and clothes, and the carriage and horse palace were too rail, and you Xiang was the one who took the lead. It can be known that the price of one dish at a time is very expensive, and it will cost a few hundred taels of silver, which is enough for ordinary people and a family for a lifetime. As a noble relative, your sister is the queen, and the official family gives the house, but how poor and extravagant the family is to build a new house, and how much it is beyond the rail system, I don't need to say it one by one, right?"

Many of the details about the Xiang family in her words were contained in the booklet of the Yu Pavilion, and when it came to the anger, she remembered the song that the emperor asked her to read today, and she used the words in it without thinking about it. After a sigh of relief, she continued.

"The beauty burns incense and makes the piano, adding fragrance to your food, not only do you disrespect, but you take her out of anger, you scold her for being a lowly person, have you ever thought that a good woman from a good family, why has this restaurant been forced to be cornered, who wants to serve you like this?

After the veil, Lian Yi listened to this man who did his best to understand his life experience, and he was also upset for himself, and his heart was miserable, and he couldn't help crying secretly.

Xiang Zonghui was so frightened that he took a step back, his face became extremely pale, and his lips trembled for a long time, and Nuo Nuo couldn't speak.

Chris let out a hearty breath after speaking, only to find that there was silence all around.

The students' expressions were different, but they all had the same reaction, staring at her without saying an inch, because her words were sharp and shocking, but the truth was deafening and thought-provoking.

The faces of several adults were gloomy and their expressions were obscure, and Lan Yuanxiao actually said that he was the eyes and ears of the emperor, how bold and presumptuous. However, his words were word-for-word, not biased, and there was no lack of praise in addition to the astonishment of everyone present.

Cao Kai was calm and relaxed, and he was in a good mood.

Yuwen Zhi Shao looked at her with blazing eyes, because the words and sentences used by Lan Yuanxiao just now were obviously the content of his own recital, and it was like falling into a fog for a while, and it was difficult to judge the true intention of Lan Yuanxiao's words.

This is neither a yamen trial, nor a temple questioning, and it is inconvenient for the adults to reprimand on the spot because of Xiang Zonghui's identity, and it is even more difficult to mediate, and the scene is very embarrassing for a while.

Chris saw that he had finished what he had to say, walked up to Cao Kai, and smiled: "Brother Cao, I still have an errand to do, go first! Let's drink together another day!"

Cao Kai just nodded, and after that, Chris turned around and left the private room, and Tang Ping also silently followed her out of the Yuxian Tower.
