Yang Fan, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared again, immediately causing the entire academy to burst into joy.
The Chen brothers quickly came out to greet him.
"Brother Yang, have you perfected your classics during this retreat?"
Chen Zhe asked in surprise.
For all new Confucian scholars, perfecting their own classics is undoubtedly the only way to go. Some people will study in retreat, while others will continue to confirm and improve what they have learned through lectures.
Of course, lecturing is the most common path.
After all, this method can not only improve one's own knowledge, but also declare one's reputation and enhance one's prestige in the literary world. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
"Something gained."
Yang Fan acted very calmly, but in his heart he was thinking about these two bastards sending a message to Chen Yuan.
Finger twitching?
This time, let you enjoy the dream, what is meant by "strong man locking up a man", "man on top of man", "welcoming man on top", "advancing and retreating two men"!
If I don’t teach you a profound lesson, how can I, Yang, show off my tricks!
"Very good!"
Chen Jing clapped his hands, looked back at the teachers and students in the academy, and said, "Why don't Brother Yang give a lecture in our academy? Let them imbibe some of Brother Yang's talents?"
There is still a period of time before the Imperial Examination, and those students who cannot pass the examination can hope to get into the top three and have the same background!
"good!"
In this regard, Yang Fan naturally would not refuse.
Only names and tools cannot be used by others.
As the head of the mountain, and he was successfully promoted to a great scholar, he naturally wanted to leave his own mark on the beings of Donglin Academy.
It is related to the cultivation of literature and Taoism and must not be ignored.
Soon, the academy organized the small square in front of the auditorium.
When I heard that the mountain chief was going to give lectures in person, everyone was very excited, including some teachers.
If before they were still reluctant and had the intention of being forced, now they would not even want to drive them away.
After all, as the results of the Tongsheng Examination and the General Examination came out, their Donglin Academy's reputation was immediately known, and they almost grabbed a big piece of cake among the various academies in Shendu.
I don’t know how many wealthy families, official and business families, plan to send their children here.
At least the Chen brothers' hands are almost weak in collecting money.
As teachers in the academy, although they do not have such an exaggerated income.
But there is also little favoritism. Relatives say that just the red envelopes for referrals and suggestions are almost as much as their income in more than ten years.
Let me ask, how can they be willing to leave after seeing such benefits?
The butt determines the head.
When interests are related, as vested interests, they wish that their own boss could break through the sages and monopolize the right to speak in the literary world!
The small square in front of the auditorium.
Yang Fan looked at the dark crowd below and felt greatly relieved.
"These are all my own leeks! From now on, I will have to rely on them to spread my Taoism and spread my literary reputation!"
After coughing twice, he began to speak.
"The scholars of ancient times must have a teacher. A teacher is the one who preaches, learns and resolves doubts."
He looked around and said sternly, "Today, as the headmaster of the academy, I should teach the teachers and students the truth!"
Then, he slowly spoke a chapter from the Tao Te Ching.
"He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. He who conquers others is powerful, and he who conquers himself is strong. He who is content is rich, he who is strong is determined, he who does not lose his place will live long, and he who dies but does not die will live long."
Buzz!
As soon as these words came out, the academy was slightly shaken, and there seemed to be a mysterious sound spreading in all directions.
Yang Fan did not leave time for everyone to think, but continued to elaborate on the content of this chapter.
Those who want to learn will immediately be immersed in it and gain some understanding.
The eyes are shining with wisdom.
Tao Che had been baptized in literature and art. He had the deepest impression and studied it most seriously. Moreover, with Yang Fan's explanation, the doubts in his heart suddenly became clear.
But a few people, such as the Chen brothers, who had no intention of listening, witnessed the spectacle!
There are two sycamore trees planted around the academy auditorium square.
In early May, although the weather was getting warmer, the grass and trees had not sprouted. However, at this time, the two sycamore trees were undergoing amazing changes.
The trees grew as fast as anyone could see, growing several feet tall in the blink of an eye, forming a dense canopy on top, almost covering the entire small square!
And the next second, the bright and bright sycamore flowers bloomed at the same time.
All flowers bloom!
The fragrance spreads for miles!
At the same time, many birds landed on the sycamore tree. They stood quietly on the branches, as if they were also listening to the lecture.
The most shocking thing is that a phoenix slowly appeared from outside the clouds, descended from the clouds, and stopped on the sycamore tree!
The sycamore flowers are blooming.
Hundreds of birds pay homage to the phoenix!
This is simply a spectacle!
Which lectures can have such a sensational scene?
"this!"
The Chen brothers looked at this scene in disbelief, their eyes almost bulging out.
The voice of the holy way!
This definitely touches upon the power of the holy way!
Even Uncle Han couldn't sit still. Such changes that went against the laws of nature undoubtedly showed that the classics written by the other party were infinitely close to the holy way itself.
If you don’t die, you will definitely have a place in the literary world in the future!
There is even hope for a sage!
"Master, you two are really in luck!"
Uncle Han can almost imagine that with the friendship of the academy, Chen Zhe and Chen Jing will become guests of various families in the future, even if they are idiots!
After a long time, Yang Fan's lecture came to an end.
"...that ends today's lecture."
After saying these words, many teachers and students were immersed in it for a moment before waking up. The next second, they heard exclamations one after another.
They immediately saw the sycamore trees blooming with thousands of flowers and hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix!
All of them showed enthusiastic expressions.
"Developed!"
Many people immediately had such thoughts.
Especially the newcomers who spent a lot of money to come in. Originally, they were a little skeptical when they heard that a great scholar came out of the academy, but now they no longer have any doubts.
Such a legendary scene appeared in front of them, making them want to worship.
With their elders here, Donglin Academy will definitely become a top force in the literary world!
It is almost unimaginable how many interests will be involved by then!
This made them immediately decide to persuade the family when they return, to make the mountain leader famous and spread literature at all costs, so as to take advantage of the academy and the school!
"Mountain Changwen's fortune is prosperous!"
"With Shan Chang here, our Donglin Academy will surely become the number one academy in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Today, our brothers are treating us to a treat. We won't come back from the Fireworks Tower until we get drunk!"
What he said before was very good, but when the Chen brothers spoke, the surroundings immediately fell silent.
If you treat me, I will treat you. Can you not make a fuss about it?
We are literati!
At least you have to show some face!
Although they also have various story novels written by Lord Shanchang and use them as examples, can they say that openly?
"Ahem."
The Chen brothers' faces turned red, and they knew that they were being a little bit arrogant, so they quickly added, "Brother Yang, we will hold a banquet in private to cleanse you of the troubles!"
Now, the resentment among the surrounding teachers and students became even greater.
