These four major academies all produced semi-sages, especially Bailu Academy, which produced a saint, Zhu Sheng.
Therefore, Bailu Academy is known as the best academy in the world. Although there is some controversy, most people are still convinced that having a saint can represent everything.
There were famous Confucian scholars in the capital of Nanyu, among whom Master Liu of Yingtian Academy had the highest status.
But Master Qi and Master Chen are by no means ordinary people.
Master is an honorific title. Only those who are virtuous can be called Master, including those who teach.
These three masters are all eighth-grade people who have cultivated their moral integrity. They are higher in rank than Qingxiao, but their status is completely different.
The first level of martial arts is a change in force. However, the governance of the Wei Dynasty does not depend entirely on force. There are many seventh-level warriors working for eighth-level warriors.
However, Confucianism and Taoism have one grade and one heaven, which is a change in status. They are sealed by heaven and earth and cannot be questioned. The upper and lower grades are strictly divided.
When the three masters arrived, thousands of scholars and scholars paid their respects to the three of them almost at the same time.
"I have met three masters."
Students pray.
The three masters also returned the small gift. This is a matter of moral quality.
"I didn't expect Master Liu to be here too. It looks like it will be a tough battle later."
Master Qi, who was walking on the left, spoke. He was wearing a blue Confucian robe, looked at Master Liu in the middle and smiled.
Master Liu was dressed in plain clothes, with his white hair tied up in green cloth, looking very frugal.
"No, no, I just heard that there is a great talent in Nanyu Mansion and I want to meet him. I have no intention of fighting over him."
Master Liu explained his purpose of coming. The reason why he came was not to rob someone, but to see who this great talent was.
He comes from Yingtian Academy. Even if he has a love for talents, he cannot let Xu Qingxiao go to Yingtian Academy.
After all, the four major academies cannot be entered through recommendation. There are too many things that need to be assessed in terms of grade, moral character, accomplishments, and intentions. Even the emperor's son can only study in the academies as an auditor.
Those who want to truly become academy students still have to pass such a rigorous selection process.
Master Liu did not rob anyone, and Master Qi and Master Chen's eyes flashed with joy.
After all, although they are equal to Master Liu in terms of status, they can't stand up to his strong background. If they really want to offer an olive branch to Xu Qingxiao, they basically can't compete with Master Liu.
"I didn't expect that in the capital of Nanyu, a great talent would appear out of nowhere. This word "Man Jiang Hong" is so soul-stirring that it expresses the hatred of thousands of generals. It is both advice and impassioned. It is better than the pedantry like us.
Too much."'
Mr. Chen, who was dressed in white robe, spoke, feeling deeply about Man Jianghong's poem.
Just now he was carefully studying half a stick of incense, looking back and forth dozens of times, and he was full of praise.
Therefore, he has made up his mind to introduce Xu Qingxiao into his academy no matter what. If Xu Qingxiao does not dislike it, he is willing to accept Xu Qingxiao as his student.
"Yes, I wouldn't be too surprised if this poem was written by a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, but it is written by a young man who is loyal to his country. If he can join the Ministry of War in the future, he may be able to see me in his lifetime.
The iron cavalry of the Wei Dynasty swept across the barbarians."
Master Liu nodded and made a very high evaluation.
These words surprised the other two masters and also shocked the literati around them.
At Master Liu's level, he rarely praises others, but gives a lot of pointers. Such praise is enough to prove how good the poem "Manjianghong" is.
"The words are like people, the words convey the meaning, he can produce such exquisite words, and he has great ambitions in his heart. The more they talk about it, the more I want to meet this great talent."
Master Chen sighed, the three of them all admired Xu Qingxiao very much.
At this moment, the three masters walked side by side and walked into Bailu Academy.
The academy was already overcrowded and no one was allowed to enter. However, when the three masters arrived, the dean of Bailu Academy personally came to greet them. Regardless, he made room for the three masters to enter.
No one in Nanyu Mansion dares to offend these three masters, not even the Lord of the Mansion.
As the three masters entered, the students around them saluted and bowed one after another, not daring to go overboard and showing respect.
The three of them walked into the library without stopping.
Before they came, they knew that Xu Qingxiao was studying in the academy.
There are many literati in the academy, but it is very quiet in the library. It is a rule not to make any noise while reading.
As the three masters walked into the library, a figure came over and said very respectfully.
"Third Master, he is Xu Qingxiao, but he is studying and seems to have completely forgotten himself. Do you need me to shout?"
The person who spoke was Wang Ru, and he suppressed his voice.
When Xu Qingxiao came to study at Bailu Academy, many people did disturb her, but they were all blocked by Wang Ru later.
He knew that Xu Qingxiao wanted to read a book. How could he read seriously if he was interrupted one after another?
But now that the master is here, Wang Ru can only bite the bullet and come over to say that if the master really has something to do with Xu Qingxiao, he can only interrupt Xu Qingxiao.
Master Sanwei looked away.
In the library.
Through the bookshelf, you can see Xu Qingxiao looking at a book, reading carefully, eyes fixed, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning, obviously selfless.
"No."
Master Liu's voice sounded. He glanced around, then waved his hand to let everyone retreat.
Master Qi and Master Chen didn't say much and followed Master Liu out.
After leaving, Master Liu spoke out.
"Xu Qingxiao loves books as much as his life. He is about to take the imperial examination. He is famous for his word, but he is able to stay calm and come to the academy to study. This is a role model for us scholars, and it is also what you need to study hard."
"Pass my message. If there is nothing important, don't disturb Xu Qingxiao. We can just wait outside."
When Master Liu spoke, he became more optimistic about Xu Qingxiao.
Composing lyrics for banquets has made him famous in southern Henan. If he were an ordinary literati, he would probably want to call his friends everywhere to appreciate his unique poems together, receive praise from everyone, and be envied by everyone.
However, Xu Qingxiao not only did not call out her friends, nor did she make any public announcements.
Instead, he was able to concentrate on studying, which impressed Master Liu with admiration.
"Such a mind will make you at least a great Confucian in the future."
"It can be seen that Xu Qingxiao completely forgets himself when he reads books. In less than ten years, we in the Wei Dynasty will have another great scholar."
Master Chen and Master Qi spoke out separately, and they once again had a higher evaluation of Xu Qingxiao.
In the academy, thousands of literati heard this again and clicked their tongues again.
Great Confucian.
This is a real big shot. At this level, he can reach heaven's ears, speak out to the emperor, and debate all matters in the world. He is regarded as a guest at home and abroad.
Even those who are immortals in the world must be courteous.
He was granted the title of Heaven and Earth and established the roots of great Confucianism.
Within ten years, Xu Qingxiao can become a great scholar. Isn't this praise a bit too high?
"Masters, we have never been together on weekdays. Why don't we go to the pavilion to rest for a while, and talk about some things while waiting for the evening?"
Master Liu suddenly spoke. He looked at Master Qi and Master Chen and said this.
"good."
"Master Liu, you're welcome, please."
With smiles on their faces, the three masters walked towards the pavilion of Bailu Academy.
When the literati saw this scene, they were both envious and surprised.
The three masters from Nanyu Mansion are all waiting for a scholar here.
This kind of thing is unheard of.
In fact, in the library.
Xu Qingxiao has indeed reached the state of selflessness.
I don’t know if it’s because of my enlightenment, but in Xu Qingxiao’s eyes, these complicated ancient texts are easier to understand than vernacular texts.
Moreover, the content in the book made Xu Qingxiao sometimes happy, sometimes confused, and sometimes thinking.
At this moment, after calming down, Xu Qingxiao finally understood the truth that the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu.
If you really calm down and read, you will find that the world is huge and your imagination is vast.
Reading is really interesting.
Books passed through Xu Qingxiao's hands one after another.
Xu Qingxiao was ready to read as many books as she could this time.
No matter what kind it is, it’s all done after watching it.
Time passed little by little.
Xu Qingxiao's reading speed is getting faster and faster.
The next day.
Xu Qingxiao was still reading.
However, Xu Qingxiao had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
As usual.
However, figures one after another shuttled through the houses in various places.
Less than an hour.
The whole Kyoto was in a state of excitement.
In a magnificent mansion.
A white-haired old man looked at the Jue Ci in his hand, his eyes full of excitement.
"Good, good, good, good words drive a long chariot across the Lianyun Mountains."
"The ambition is to eat the meat of barbarians when hungry, and drink the blood of barbarians when they are thirsty for laughter. Let's start from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and build the palace towards the sky!"
"Okay, okay, okay."
"I never thought that there would be such scholars in this world with such great ambitions."
"What? This poem was written for a general?"
"Hahahahaha, hahahahaha, I never thought that someone would write lyrics for me in my lifetime. What is this scholar's name? When he becomes an official in Beijing in the future, I must support him well."
A cheerful voice sounded.
But at the same moment, more than a dozen appeared in Kyoto.
