Chapter 722 Site Selection
The next day at the governor's house in Tanzhou, Yao Qingfeng led two people to Chen Yue. One of them had gray hair and looked to be over fifty years old, but the strong bookishness between his eyebrows could not go away.
.
There is another person who is in middle age and looks to be in his thirties. He is tall and straight, with an extraordinary appearance. When he stands in front of Chenyue, he looks majestic.
"Come on, Mr. Ling, Ruixuan, I haven't met the prince yet." Yao Qingfeng smiled and waved.
"Ling Xuejun of Tanzhou has met the prince."
"Shunzhou Yu Ruixuan, I have met the prince."
The two of them bent down and saluted at the same time, looking at Chen Yue with a hint of admiration and gratitude in their eyes.
These two people are the talents that Yao Qingfeng wants to recommend to Chen Yue.
"Without courtesy, please take a seat." Chen Yue smiled and pointed at the seats on both sides and said: "To be called a great talent by Governor Yao, you two are definitely not ordinary people. I feel so cold.
The king is very happy to have such a great talent."
The old Ling Xuejun was the first to speak: "Your Majesty has given me such a compliment. I am just a commoner in the mountains. How dare you bother Your Majesty to meet me in person?"
Yao Qingfeng introduced: "Your Majesty, Senior Ling is a close friend of my father's. Before, my father was often supported by Elder Ling when he was hiding among the people. Senior Ling studied under my grandfather when he was young, and we are old friends with my family.
Ruixuan was discovered by me when I became an official in Danzhou. He has extensive knowledge of ancient and modern times and is fond of reading poetry and books. It is suitable to place it in Hokusai Academy."
Yao Qingfeng had roughly told Chen Yue about the details of these two people before. Ling Xuejun was an outstanding scholar of the Liaodong generation when he studied under Yao Fu. Then when Jin Bing entered the country, he decided to accompany Yao Fu to death, but received a message from Yao Fu.
The letter said that the scholars in Liaodong could not die, so Ling Xuejun hid in the mountains and waited for the day when Liaodong was recovered, leaving a trace of incense for the inheritance of scholars in Liaodong.
Later, when I heard that the Yao family was being hunted by the Jin soldiers, I risked being hunted down by the Jin soldiers and rescued them many times, which shows my extraordinary character.
Yu Ruixuan, on the other hand, was a reading fool and had no intention of joining the officialdom, but he was most suitable to be a teacher. Yao Qingfeng laughed and called him a bookworm.
"Alas, Brother Yao and Teacher died heroically back then. They were both golden men and thieves who killed my compatriots and harmed our country!" Ling Xuejun seemed to be recalling the past, and said bitterly.
Yu Rui
"
After saying that, the two of them bowed down and saluted Chenyue.
"You two are serious in your words. It's just a soldier's duty." Chenyue raised his hand and returned the salute: "I summoned you two this time because I intend to establish a Beizhai Academy in Tanzhou for the common people and scholars of Liaodong to study.
.
At present, there is a shortage of masters in writing and teaching in the academy. Both of them are great talents. I wonder if they have any intention of helping me?"
These two people knew about this on the way here, and they all said without hesitation: "We can't ask for anything, so we can do as you please."
"Haha, okay." Chenyue chuckled and said: "If you two know any scholars, you can recommend them to me. I will attract more talents for the academy and make Beizhai Academy a top ranking in our dynasty.
An important place in the literary world!"
"promise!"
…
On a street in Tanzhou City, Chen Yue and Yao Qingfeng were walking. Yao Qingfeng asked with a smile: "My lord, what do you think of the two people recommended by me?"
"Yes, your words and deeds are very decent and full of scholarly atmosphere." Chen Yue nodded with satisfaction: "In the future, the academy can be taken care of by two people. You and Master Tong have complicated government affairs, so you can go to the academy to give lectures when you have time.
, but there’s no way to stay there forever.”
"This is what I mean. Mr. Ling is also quite famous in Liaodong and has sufficient qualifications. We can rest assured having the two of them at Beizhai Academy." Yao Qingfeng said with a smile.
Chenyue paused, looked at Yao Qingfeng and joked: "Master Yao, this Mr. Ling and your Yao family are from aristocratic families, are you not afraid that someone will say that you, Yao Qingfeng, are nepotistic if word spreads about it?"
"Ha ha!"
Yao Qingfeng waved his sleeves and laughed loudly: "I still understand the principle of not avoiding relatives when promoting talents. There are few literati in Liaodong. Having a respected old man like Mr. Ling to help will save us a lot of trouble."
"Hahaha." Chen Yue also laughed: "The Yao family's family education is really good!"
The two walked for a long time, talking and laughing, and finally arrived at an abandoned house at noon.
Chen Yue glanced around in surprise and found that the people around him all shook their heads and sighed when passing by, and some even silently bowed.
"Where is this?" Chenyue asked curiously.
The house in front of them covers a large area, but the gates are broken, unguarded, and full of dust. It looks like no one has lived in it for a long time.
I don't know why, but when I stop here in Chenyue, I always feel a chill coming over my face.
Yao Qingfeng said sadly: "This is the former Tanzhou Academy, which was built by my grandfather."
Chenyue was silent.
Yao Qingfeng said with a hint of bitterness: "After the Jin invaded the country, the literati in the academy became the targets of the Jin soldiers' arrests. They died or escaped. Those who were lucky enough to escape were scattered among the people, day and night.
It was the place where the Jin people raided and arrested me. Later, the Jin people transformed this place into a prison, specially used to imprison and kill our scholars in Liaodong."
Chen Yue understood clearly, no wonder it was so gloomy, it turned out to have such an origin.
"This is an attempt to destroy our race." Chen Yue said in a low voice.
The best way to rule a nation is to erase its historical traces, destroy its cultural foundation, and turn its people into numb walking zombies. Over time, no one will have the idea of resisting.
"Yes, this is the plot of the Jin people." Yao Qingfeng murmured softly: "It's a pity that they underestimated the will of my Liaodong students, burned classics, and killed scholars for decades, but you can still hear reading in my land of Liaodong
Sound. This is something they would never have expected."
Chen Yue clasped his hands and bent slightly towards the dilapidated house: "All of you souls in heaven can rest in peace."
Yao Qingfeng stretched out his hand to wipe the tears that flowed unconsciously from the corner of his eyes, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is the place where I prepared to open Hokusai Academy."
"Here?" Chenyue was stunned for a moment. Many people may have died here in the past few decades, but the scholars who were persecuted by the Jin people did not expect that Yao Qingfeng actually planned to build Beizhai Academy here.
"Yes, people say that there are too many wronged souls here, and no one dares to move in. After Liaodong was recovered, this place was completely abandoned." Yao Qingfeng said softly: "Since they are all the wronged souls of my scholar, it should be my scholar who returns to the world.
Qingping. Just in time to let those heroic spirits listen, the land of Liaodong is full of the sound of books again."
Chenyue was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said:
