Sanli Academy was not originally located in Taiyuan City, or rather not in Taiyuan City.
Let’s do a little science here. Taiyuan actually has two cities, one is the prefectural city and the other is the county seat. The prefectural city is Taiyuan City in later generations, and the county seat is Jinyuan District in later generations. Before it was incorporated, it was also called Jinyuan County and Jinyang County. Wait, but there is one more thing that needs to be clarified. The so-called Jinyang Ancient City is not the Taiyuan County seat of the Ming Dynasty. Although they are in the same place, they are two different things. The Jinyang Ancient City was the Taiyuan County seat during the Tang Dynasty, and it had long been abandoned by the Ming Dynasty. It was right next to the rebuilt county seat to the west. In the Song Dynasty, it was called Pingjin County, which is more than ten miles northeast of Jinyuan today.
Jinyuan is a popular place. Jinyang City in the Spring and Autumn Period, Bingzhou City in the Western Jin Dynasty, Taiyuan County in the Tang Dynasty, and Taiyuan City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were all built here.
Sanli Academy was originally located here.
What does an academy do? It is not pure to say that it is a school. It is probably a place where a group of scholars write books and talk nonsense. Their purpose is: "Learn freely, discuss government affairs, and judge people (evaluate the quality of officials)" Similar to the current broadcast of Big V, the court dignitaries and local officials are the targets of their firepower anyway, so they also attract the resentment and rejection of the court. However, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, academies became popular for a while. Schools were opened in almost every prefecture, prefecture, and territory, such as Sanli Academy. It's one of them.
Finally, after Emperor Wanli came to power, he adopted Zhang Juzheng's memorial: "The imperial edict destroyed academies all over the world." Sanli Academy was not spared. Until the 21st year of Wanli, when Wei Yuanzhen was the governor, he sold sheep's heads for dog meat and established the "Sanli Temple" in the name of it. , essentially rebuilt the Sanli Academy and moved it to today's Old City Street. After Cai Maode became the governor, he greatly reorganized it. Two of the most famous measures were: one was to hire the governor Wei Quanzhong, the governor Han Lin, Sang Gongyang and Fu Lectures at Shanlaiyuan: The second is three episodes per month, concentrated lectures. The first episode talks about the Holy Edict, attended by local gentry and village elders; the second episode talks about economics and national affairs, all local interests are discussed, and political personnel must participate; A lecture was held on the examination system, and scholars who were taking the imperial examination participated.
At this time, the college has undergone obvious changes, and it has generally taken on the nature of a party school.
The erudite and talented Fu Qingshan was now the master of the mountain, the dean of the college. The judge, Han Lin, was a firearms expert and Jiang Yu's old father-in-law. He no longer served in the college. As for where he went, you can guess.
In the evening, when Fu Qingzhu was discussing with several great scholars and scholars about today's eunuch leading civil and military services in the city to pay homage to the Martyrs' Shrine, the concierge announced that someone wanted to see him. There was an endless stream of people seeking to see him in Fu Shan's name every day. He was already very troubled. He scolded the concierge for not being able to see: "If you send me away, why bother me?"
The concierge informed me that it was a girl who had come to deliver tea.
Fu Shan and everyone else were shocked. The women in the academy were banned, and a Taoist nun actually came to the door. As for bringing tea... He guessed a rough idea and asked someone to bring it. He found out that it was a young Taoist nun who stared with big eyes: "Who is this? Mr. Fu?"
"But Eunuch Chang sent you here," Fu Shan said with raised eyebrows.
Qing Yi bowed and nodded: "The shopkeeper asked Pindao to bring tea and a message."
Fu Shan smiled: "I said something before sending tea, this message... come and listen to it."
"The shopkeeper asked Pindao to send a message to Mr. Fu: What is private is temporary, and what is public is eternal."
Fu Shan frowned and remained silent for a while. The people around him kept talking in low voices. After a while, Fu Shan raised his eyes and looked at Qing Yi and said: "Eunuch Chang has so many people under his command, why did he send a Taoist priest?"
Qing Yi shook his head: "I don't know, but the shopkeeper said that if you ask a question, I must answer. If you can't answer, I will recite the scriptures to you."
Ah, everyone was surprised, Fu Shan was also startled, and then laughed: "What scriptures do you read?"
"I have read the Tao Te Ching, the Nan Hua Jing, the Chongxu Jing, the Tong Xuan Jing, etc., which one do you want to listen to, sir?" Qing Yi asked. Fu Shan stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Do you know how to memorize it?" Qing Yi nodded.
: "Most of them can memorize it. The shopkeeper said, if the gentleman can't answer the question, just memorize it. If you can't memorize it, then have a fight with him."
The words shocked everyone, Fu Shan already laughed and turned around: "Do you know martial arts when fighting?"
Qing Yi scratched his head: "The shopkeeper said that Pindao is a very good fighter, at least sir, he can't beat Pindao."
"What, I can't beat you?!" Fu Shan couldn't laugh anymore and started to shout: "He really doesn't like my skills, but let a little Taoist nun humiliate me."
No, no, no, Qing Yi quickly waved his hand: "Pindao doesn't dare to humiliate you, sir. Pindao is really good at fighting. The people under the shopkeeper say so..."
"Then you've learned a lesson." Fu Shan said, taking off his coat and inviting Qing Yi into the courtyard: "I understand what he meant by asking you to come. He told me not to settle down in a corner to entertain myself, but to put my heart towards the world first.
If he comes in person, I will accept it, but he sends a little Taoist to help me. I will not be convinced. Let’s compete in martial arts first and then discuss Taoism..."
"Do you really want to fight, okay?" Qing Yi also took off his coat, and several big guys in the academy hurriedly came out to watch the fun. One of them asked Sang Gongyang: "Then the eunuch sent a girl here to memorize scriptures and talk to each other.
Zhenshan (characterized by Fu Shan) competes in skills, why?”
Sang Gongyang frowned and said: "Zhenshan is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs and is famous for his erudition. The young eunuch's move seems to be intentional... to dampen his arrogance and dampen his spirit: Since you are omnipotent, I am only a Taoist nun in the age of hairpin.
Let's talk about martial arts with you... Zhenshan will show his lack of martial arts if he wins, and if he loses... Hehe, I once heard that Zhenshan once competed with the little eunuch at the beginning of the year and lost a single move. Over the past six months, I have heard the chicken dance and practiced martial arts hard to avenge my shame...
"
While they were talking, Fu Shan and Qing Yi were already moving around in the courtyard. One was a great scholar in the prime of life with both civil and military skills, and the other was an unknown little Taoist nun who had just reached the age of hairpins.
In the blink of an eye, Fu Qingshan's face turned blue and white, and then he bowed deeply to Qing Yi: "I lost. The master is my teacher. I would like to accept you as my teacher, okay?"
"Ah, no, no, no, no, I can't teach you, sir." Qing Yi gasped, hurriedly waving his hands and backing away: "Besides, the shopkeeper didn't let me recruit a disciple."
Fu Shan smiled. As a great scholar of the world, he picked it up and put it down: "Did your boss really ask you to fight?"
"Yes." Qing Yi nodded vigorously, then picked up the clothes next to him and put them on.
Fu Shan's smile grew wider: "He asked you to come here to show me a good seedling. To put it bluntly, although he didn't ask you to accept a disciple, he asked you to come and worship me as your teacher."
Ah, Qing Yi was confused: "Why do I want to worship you as my teacher? You can't even beat me."
"It's normal for a teacher who doesn't have a top scholar to be able to teach a top student. And among three of us, I must be my teacher. I'm not as good as you in terms of martial arts, but I can still teach you and solve your doubts. You don't know how to use your internal strength.
But I have some experience and can give you some advice, and I have my own experience in Taoism, which will be of great benefit to you." Fu Shan finished getting dressed and brought Qing Yi into the room: "The scriptures you have learned are probably the same as your martial arts.
In the same way, if you can only read but don’t know its meaning or interpretation, you can be my teacher in martial arts, and I can be your teacher in learning.”
Qing Yi didn't know how to answer, maybe she thought that was it.
Fu Shan saw her lowering her head and said nothing: "You can stay in the academy for a few days before making a decision."
"I can't stay in the academy, I have to follow the boss." Qing Yi resisted and was about to leave after saying that. Fu Shan stopped him: "You will come back if you go back, so please pass on a message to me: The Great Way of the Road"
Go ahead, the world is for the common good, choose the talented and capable.”
Qing Yi said oh and left in a hurry.
After Fu Qingshan waited for you to leave, he laughed at himself and said to Sang Gongyang and others: "I'm afraid I will never be able to defeat Eunuch Chang in this life." They laughed: "If you can't do it with force, you can do it with literature."
Fu Shan smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "Who among us can compare with those few lines of articles he recited? Who among us could have composed the military song that I heard today was also written by him? It was so turbulent that it filled my heart with emotion?" One person nodded in agreement: "It's not a big deal.
If you don't have the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers with such power, it's really hard to imagine that it was done by a eunuch, and he was not even a young man."
"He is a gifted person. If he acts righteously, the Ming Dynasty will be lucky. If he causes disaster, the world will be miserable!"
