Chapter 71 The upcoming banquet

After the thunder, the three black dragons had bloody heads and were lying in the snow and dying.

"God, God helps me!"

Seeing this scene, Dong Zhizhang burst into tears, looking at the three black dragons that might die at any time, walked over, pressed the black dragon's head in the middle, and twisted it hard!

As the black dragon died out, Dong Zhizhang raised his head and whistled!

A vast literary spirit emanated from all over him, and he let out a long roar. The wind from the depths of the snow field curled his long hair up, flowing and free.

...

"...This is the mystery of 'even millions of people, I'll go'. Do you have any experience?"

In the Taohua Pavilion, Qian Haoran sat upright and explained the mystery of "Mencius" to his disciples. The disciples nodded one after another. Those who could follow Qian Haoran to study and learn the meaning of "Mencius" are the most basic requirements.

Qian Haoran only selects individual paragraphs to explain each time. He reinterpreted it. After understanding the new secret, he digested it and shared it with his disciples to help the disciples digest the secrets in the text and awaken more literary spirit.

Although Su Wen is not considered Qian Haoran's personal disciple, he is also qualified to be among them, and his position is quite high, only behind Qingsong, Qingbai and Qingli.

"very good……"

Qian Haoran nodded with a smile, then gently stroked his long beard, looked around for a week, and said, "When you study this classic, do you think it is difficult and difficult? Let me answer it here for you."

Several disciples asked questions, whether it was difficult or easy. Qian Haoran first asked the three personal disciples to answer, and when they said their respective answers, they commented one by one, and finally gave the explanation they thought, but they were all from Qian Haoran. When they understood the scriptures, their ideas were not far different. However, after repeated discussions by several senior brothers, even the stupid disciples could remember the general idea. After going back and pondering, they could unravel the content they had previously puzzled and draw literary spirit from it.

Finally, Qian Haoran turned to Su Wen and asked: "Su Wen, do you have any questions?"

Su Wen's major is "Spring and Autumn", but Confucian classics are the knowledge that every Confucian scholar must learn, and they complement each other. When Confucian scholars thoroughly understand a classic, they will focus on other classics. For example, Qingsong is already a gentleman and a wise scholar. Not only can he read "Mencius", but other Confucian classics also memorize them and have profound insights. After all, only one classic is the source of literary talent, which cannot support their extraordinary sequence. However, compared with most students, being able to read a classic in their lifetime is the ceiling of their ability.

Therefore, Qian Haoran also grasped Su Wen's studies very closely. In his opinion, Su Wen was promoted to a wise man and a gentleman, and would only be faster. Although Su Wen was so generous and could attract literary spirit on his own, the literary spirit that was understood from the scriptures was a long-lasting and solid source of truth and solidity, and the foundation must be solid.

"Um……"

Su Wen listened very seriously, and naturally he had problems in his heart. After thinking about it, he asked: "Teacher, is the 'holy spirit' mentioned by Mencius a literary spirit?"

Qian Haoran explained to the students the chapter of "Mencius Gongsun Chou", which not only contains bold words such as "I will go even if I have thousands of people", but also mentions the argument that "I am good at raising the noble spirit".

But in the book, Mencius personally admitted that it is difficult to describe and explain what Haoran is like.

"good."

Qian Haoran nodded slightly and expressed his approval of Su Wen's question: "It is indeed understood that... But there are many kinds of literary qi, which can be understood as the source of power of the extraordinary, which can be collectively called 'qi'. It is just that the extraordinary ways of the hundreds of schools of thought are based on literature, so the prefix is ​​called Wenqi. In fact, this is a general and narrow statement, just to unify the name and the caliber of Hu. Because in addition to the hundreds of schools, there are dark paths and blood channels of the demon clan. Most of these dark and filthy powers do not have the ability to draw literary qi from the classics, but extraordinary factors such as secret medicine, secret techniques and bloodlines also allow them to obtain literary qi, become extraordinary people, and improve the sequence."

Su Wen suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "So that's it."

"Yes...but the word "literal" is narrow-minded after all."

Qian Haoran quickly changed the topic, sighed and said, "It's like changing the Confucian sequence name to a scholar and a wise man, it sounds like a petty man... It's really a world of decline and people's hearts are not old. If I was promoted to Sequence 6 one day, I have to change this title back! Cheng Zi did this matter too inauthentic and disgusting!"

“…”

Su Wen was confused.

Qian Haoran also expected that Su Wen knew nothing about this and explained it a little.

It turns out that the sequence name of the Confucian pathway is not what we are using now. Sequence one is the investigation of things, sequence two is the bright virtue, sequence three is the unconfused, sequence four is the correct mind, sequence five is the knowledge of fate, sequence six is ​​the non-transcendence, and sequence seven is the saint.

But later, the Confucian Sequence Six, which is the Cheng Zi mentioned by Qian Haoran, entered the world as an official for his saint's great avatar, and implemented a series of reforms, and finally changed them to Confucianism itself. According to the examination title and some abbreviations of the Secular Talent Ceremony, it replaced the original sequence.

It would be fine if we just implement writing reform in a certain country. The extraordinary Confucians can turn a blind eye to each other, just call you, and I call you, and don’t interfere with each other.

After Cheng Zi was promoted to Sequence 6, he used his own strength to forcibly change the Confucian sequence name in this process.

Therefore, when Confucian scholars were promoted, they learned that the name of the next extraordinary sequence was what Zhu Xi planned. In other words, Zhu Xi forcibly imprinted the modified Confucian sequence name in the minds of every later generation.

Such behavior has little impact on ordinary people, but it is unacceptable to the extraordinary people at that time.

It’s like a man named Zhang Erdan for many years, but suddenly he ran out alone and sent him a new ID card, saying that you will call him Guan Sanduo in the future. Although the damage is not great, it is extremely insulting.

Cheng Zi's behavior even led to the division within Confucianism for a time, causing uproars among several great dynasties, and continued party struggles, and finally even caused historical events such as dynasty changes.

Since then, it took Confucianism many years to recover, because the newly changed names are more suitable for the favor of secular dynasties, and Confucianism has also been valued in some dynasties and seems to be more prominent than before.

But in the eyes of some old scholars, what Cheng Zi did was unforgivable and he was unwilling to cooperate with Cheng Zi to suppress other schools until his death. Therefore, in an era of chaos in various countries, various theories sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even drove the Confucian school out of the court in some countries. This was the case with the Daliang Dynasty. Qian Haoran ran around the Daliang Kingdom for the first half of his life, hoping to let the Confucian school return to the Daliang court and show the ambitions of Confucian scholars.

"This Cheng Zi... is so idle."

There is no harm without comparison.

Su Wen also felt that the Confucian sequence names that had not been modified were much better than those that Cheng Zi had changed. The main reason was that they were higher in style, which made people happy to listen.

But now, if he reports his own sequence name to others, the other person will hear, oh, he is a scholar, where is the county exam, or did he practice it himself?

This is embarrassing.

Qian Haoran criticized Cheng Zi for a while, but the topic was finally revealed and focused on the upcoming peach blossom banquet.

As a great Confucian scholar in the fifth series, Qian Haoran was well-known for his grudges with Emperor Daliang. Not only did he have enough reputation among the various Confucian schools, but he also had many friends and enemies in other schools.

So Qian Haoran, who has been low-key for decades, held a big banquet. Whether there are invitations or not, he wanted to have a glass of wine. By the way, he could find out what kind of strength this famous scholar in the world is. What kind of attitude should he take towards Confucianism and Qingshan Academy in the next decades?

Although various schools seem harmonious on the surface, there are many private tests, and they all want to know what level the other party's strength has reached, whether it has weakened the other party, or gained inspiration or benefits from the other party's recent strength.

So this time, there will inevitably be a crowd of guests and a great friend.

Qingsong then talked about the arrangement of the peach blossom banquet, as well as reply letters and suggestions from scholars from other schools of thought.

At first, Su Wen thought it was just an ordinary banquet, but the more he listened, the more he became more shocked.

The mainstream school of academic sects and scholars from all over the country expressed their intention to attend the peach blossom banquet. Not only are the representatives of the school willing to attend, but they will also bring newcomers to the peach blossom banquet together. It is estimated that more than a thousand people are.

This was still within the Daliang Dynasty. Thanks to Qian Haoran was just a great scholar. His reputation left Daliang, and his influence became much smaller. The invitation to the Peach Blossom Banquet was posted, but not many people came.

But after careful calculation, there may be nearly 2,000 people participating in this peach blossom feast in the end, and... many of them are extraordinary people, and even many of them have high-sequences.

It is a terrible thing to think about it when a large number of extraordinary people gather in Wuning City.

Su Wen can imagine that after Lao Liu learned the news, he might not be able to sleep all night.

In fact, it was the same. When Qingsong reported the news to the internal factory the day before yesterday, Lao Liu was in a bad mood.

In the eyes of ordinary people, extraordinary people are enviable people, but in the eyes of internal factories, extraordinary people are potential sources of danger. In the eyes of factory guards, extraordinary people are either out of control or ready to lose control at any time, and must be highly vigilant.

Lao Liu sent the message back to the capital through the seal, and even asked the inner factory to send high-sequence bosses to come here to deter the extraordinary people attending the peach blossom feast to prevent these guys from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Okay, that's all for today's homework. You all study hard and don't be lazy..."

Finally, Qian Haoran waved his hand to let the students disperse, and Su Wen followed everyone and left quickly.

When he left, he saw a worker raising new stones by the lake, engraving words on it. He also saw that Gugu was carrying walnuts on his back, hovering on the lake surface, flashing by. He vaguely saw that the walnut seemed to have a fish in his mouth, and Gugugu also grabbed a one on his claws...
