In late autumn, the climate is still a bit hot, with some areas experiencing drought. The weather is much better than five years ago, and it can still rain a few times.
On the outskirts of the city, the sun shines on the newly renovated official road. Although it is smooth, the heavy flow of people and vehicles still stirs up sand and dust, and at the same time, the tea business along the road is born.
The higher-end ones are the government-run wine shops of the inns, which are usually simple sheds set up by ordinary households, where they make herbal tea and rice milk, both of which are great for quenching thirst.
A young boy of fifteen or sixteen years old riding a green donkey seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking around and looking at the sun in the distance. It was shining on the earth, shrouding the nearby cities and villages in its halo...
It was close to noon, and there was mist in the smoke in the distance. The silence gave people a sense of stability - the atmosphere of a peaceful and prosperous age.
The young man laughed, and in the tea shed where two five-baht coins were hung as wind chimes, he turned down the green donkey and called for a cup of boiled water. He drank it to moisten his throat. He threw down a few copper coins and said in a clear voice, "Excuse me, my husband.
Is Taiyuan University nearby?"
"Are you talking about Imperial Taixue?" The shop owner's Jizhou accent was a little muddy. He looked at the young man's Taoist uniform and pointed to the west with a smile: "Just walk along the Liuyin River Embankment and you'll be there in twenty miles."
At this time, in the passing motorcade, the curtain on the carriage was slightly lifted, revealing a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. His eyes glanced at the poor tea in the other person's hand, and his voice was soft: "Looking at your age, you are a freshman at Taipei University, right?
School has started in September, so your report is a bit late..."
"My uncle passed away due to illness, and I have carried him back to Jingzhou. I have just completed one year of mourning." The young man said truthfully, looking at the young man with a gentle look in his eyes: "My surname is Zhuge, and my name is only a bright character. May I ask who your brother is?"
"One year after his death, the Zhuge family in northern Jingbei? Could it be that your uncle is Zhuge Xuan, the former minister of Qiandi today?" The young man's eyes flashed, and he keenly judged the value of the other party. He put away his deliberate display of arrogance and said sincerely: "
Just call me Sima Yi, I am a student of Taixue Affiliated College, and I will be an official Taixue student next year. What grade are you in, Junior Zhuge?"
"I am in the fourth grade, that is, a formal student." Zhuge Liang got on his horse and marched side by side with the other party, but there was something strange in his heart. When he and his uncle were driving in Xuchang, they heard Jin Shang talk about this person.
At this time, Zhuge Liang had already practiced some practice. He glanced at Sima Yi, but seeing that he had a long life and a faint sense of nobility, but could not see the details, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. He didn't know why, but there was an inexplicable disgust in his heart, so he carefully examined it secretly.
"..." Sima Yi was speechless for a moment. His instinctive reaction was disbelief. After thinking quickly, he realized that he had no impression of this person in the past three years. However, seeing that the other person was not a random talker, he couldn't help but clasped his hands and said, "I guess Brother Zhuge transferred from Jingzhou Academy."
Came here?"
Zhuge Liang touched the "Yun Shui Ji Tu" in his arms and smiled slightly: "I was indeed at Jingzhou College this year. My academic status has always been in the Taoist Academy of Imperial Taixue. This was when the Taoist Academy was first established in Xuchang.
Admission...
"The Taoist academy that just moved here this year, are you a magician?" Sima Yi frowned, with a trace of fear in his heart, pretending to be curious and asked: "I remembered some rumors, you magicians can really summon the wind and rain, destroy the army with formations, and perform extraordinary feats.
Extend your life?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing. They were both good at observing people's words and could not hide anything from anyone. But with the fourth level of Qi Refining, he was even better. After a few words of conversation, he could see some of the other person's nature, and he already didn't like him very much.
It is impossible to disclose the situation of this hospital.
At this time, he said a few perfunctory words and said goodbye: "Brother Sima, I have to rush to report to the dean. See you next time."
"Oh, I'll invite you to have a drink with me next time..." Sima Yi waved his hand with a pleasant smile, hoping that this man would ride away on a donkey.
As soon as Zhuge Liang disappeared from sight, Sima Yi's face darkened: "This person seems to know me, but I don't know him. Find out his details..."
"There is also this mysterious Taoist temple recently. Now I am more and more aware of the importance it attaches to. Let's check what conditions are needed to transfer in."
"Yes, young master." Several followers bowed in response, their attitudes extremely respectful.
This Young Master Sima has performed exceptionally since he was a child. He rose to prominence four years ago and helped his family to stand in the right direction. He was even summoned and commended by his superiors. He is now destined to be the future head of the family.
The continuation, glory, and future of the entire clan depend on him, and he is no ordinary young scholar.
The sun was gradually setting towards the west, the autumn wind was blowing gently, and the green donkey was walking slowly on the river embankment. It was almost evening when Zhuge Liang arrived at Taiyuan Academy.
The afterglow of the setting sun hangs on the horizon, and the golden color dyes the river surface. The waves are sparkling, and they are reflected on the ancient city on the other side. Every wall, brick and stone is condensed with green, and the Luoshui River meanders past, not far to the north.
It is the Yellow River. This is the place where the Fuxi River Map and the Luoshu River are said to come out. The long history and great luck intertwined here, creating an ancient capital that has survived for thousands of years.
This is Luoyang.
In the south of the city are a large number of official ceremonial buildings, including the spiritual platform, the Mingtang, and the Imperial College were all built here. It was just when the Taixue students were finishing school one after another, and against the backdrop of the bustling crowd, forty-six large white marble steles were seen standing tall and majestic.
Bian, literary spirit is like the sea.
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, his little face filled with happiness.
He had been familiar with various classics since he was a child, and knew that this was the "Xiping Stone Classic", a large-scale forest of stone inscriptions presided over by Cai Yong, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, which inscribed the "Book of Changes" and "Book of Changes" collected and corrected from the world's relics.
"Lu Shi", "Ritual", "Gongyang Zhuan", "The Analects of Confucius", "Spring and Autumn", seven serious classics, totaling 200,911 words.
No matter day or night, there is a red literary spirit rising into the sky, representing the essence of civilization in history, which was originally to be destroyed by Dong Zhuo's order and Taixue.
Fortunately, the army raised up to save Luoyang, and also saved a series of buildings with special history and significance such as the Temple of Liu Bang, the Lingtai, Taixue, Xiping Shijing, the Mansion Library, and the Shaofu General Supervisor.
When I went in to sign up, I didn't see the actual dean of the hospital. A former Confucian teacher handled the admission procedures for him. I only heard him babble: "The dean was invited by the Queen Mother again. It is said that he is asking for the benefit of Taoism. Tsk..."
Zhuge Liang glanced at this doctor of the Five Classics and knew that this was related to the disputes in the literary world this year.
Since ancient times, civil and military forces have flourished to strengthen the dynasty. Needless to say, today's military achievements are not exaggerated. It is not an exaggeration to turn the tide, but it seems to pave the way for public opinion for the throne. This year, there are many civil affairs actions, not only expanding the Imperial College, establishing the National Library, and renovating
There is an old star observatory on the memorial platform, and official schools have been rebuilt in various counties.
The imperial court invited scholars who had taken refuge in the mountains and forests to serve as professors. They were not limited to ancient Chinese, modern literature, or even legalists other than Confucianism. The origins of Mohist and miscellaneous schools attracted some students from poor families who were excluded from the mainstream.
For the modernist school of modernism and appropriationism, this is not a big deal, but they are now non-mainstream.
For the Confucians of the ancient literature school who adhere to the unification of laws and regulations and love the ancients and respect the saints, the new emperor's practice of quoting scholars from outside the Five Classics is intolerable. There are many doctors of the Five Classics in official schools in various places who have written articles criticizing the emperor for imitating the Qin law. Some people even want to
The old minister Lu Zhi was asked to come forward, but Lu Zhi knocked his head open with a cane and was kicked out of the door.
It can be seen that in the general atmosphere of stabilization of people's hearts, the internal structure of Kyushu is becoming stable. Some countercurrents in the literary world are just small splashes in the torrent of family fortunes and cannot shake the emperor's status in the hearts of the people.
The Han style has a wide range of capabilities. When the Luoyang court heard about this kind of thing, they just laughed it off and fined the unlucky guy three months of salary. In the Ding Revolution period when the spiritual energy of China was getting stronger and the new force system was emerging, it didn't matter at all.
The dispute between schools.
Others couldn't figure it out, but Zhuge Liang himself had no intention of participating. He thought to himself: "If I have this free time, I might as well practice more, so that I can join in the creation, admire the heaven and the earth, and get the ultimate truth, and then go to the world and lead the torrent of great men."
Climbing to the top and sharing it for eternity, wouldn’t it be wonderful?”
Until he entered the independent dormitory assigned to him, he took a short rest, opened his palms, and white aura condensed on his fingertips, unsealed a message disk, and began to browse the latest information inside the Taoist temple.
Among a bunch of questions about cultivation from fellow students, I looked for questions that interested me, and finally marked my own answer behind a question that was in-depth.
When he closed the interrogation tray and went out, Yu Huo passed the questioner's name... Pang Tong?
Zhuge Liang shook his head and felt that the name was somewhat impressive, but he couldn't remember this person or which Taoist magazine he had read about.
"The world has changed..."
Zhuge Liang knew this as early as he was eleven years old.
That time my uncle took me to a banquet and now I am giving him a copy of "The Chronicles of Clouds and Waters".
By chance, he cherished this book and began to study it. He seemed to have a natural adaptability to Taoism and absorbed the knowledge inside like a sponge.
I kept trying, summarizing, and accumulating every day. In just four years, I reached the fourth level of Qi training. I was only one step away from opening up the spiritual pool, but I encountered a chasm and couldn't break through.
He thought that maybe it was because he didn't have enough luck and spiritual power to succeed.
"If you leave Shuifu for internship, or if you go to the military for a period of experience, it will be easier to accumulate luck and accelerate the accumulation of spiritual energy." Although this fifteen-year-old boy has lost his uncle's official channel and has been stranded in the countryside for a long time, he has
The exclusive interrogation board for Taoist students was able to make some judgments based on the information they obtained, so as soon as his brother Zhuge Jin came to summon him, he immediately set off by water.
Traveling day and night, he heard the sensational news that King Ying had proclaimed himself emperor only halfway. He was afraid that things might change, so he hurriedly and slowly arrived at Luoyang. The calm atmosphere made Zhuge Liang breathe a sigh of relief.
"No matter what, no one can stop Hande from winning three times... The third time is a very important meaning...
"This is already the fifteenth day since I proclaimed myself emperor. Luoyang is calm and the world is peaceful. This transition is so smooth that people have to admire my judgment on the timing..."
