Chapter 39: The first lesson in the academy is etiquette, taught by Chen Xuanque!
The next day, early morning!
The newly admitted students of the academy began their first lesson, which was called ‘Etiquette!’
Many students were particularly serious about their first class in the academy.
Ning Que, who was ranked second on the academy's admission list, still had his right eye twitching wildly. Although he was very disdainful of what Yan Guoji taught, he still behaved like an obedient student.
But Ning Que agrees with the etiquette of teaching. Whoever has a big fist and a high level of cultivation is the etiquette.
Xie Chengyun, the prostitute of the Southern Jin Dynasty, was like a spring breeze and won favor among many students.
Even the most naughty prince Li Hunyuan became much more well-behaved after seeing the strength of etiquette teacher Cao Zhifeng.
It’s just that the table at the front is empty, and there are no students sitting there.
The first class in the academy, Chen Xuan, the first student of Taiping Dao in the history of the academy to pass the first seven subjects, is already absent from this class.
Etiquette teacher Cao Zhifeng showed no emotion or anger on his face. He just scared a few stubborn students during the lecture.
Prince Li Hunyuan looked at the empty desk and thought of the scene where he was threatened by Chen Xuan in the Princess Mansion, so he stood up and said: "Teacher, Chen Xuan, who is in the seventh grade, did not come to attend the lecture, don't you care?"
/p>
Cao Zhifeng's expression changed, he looked at Li Hunyuan and sneered: "Li Hunyuan, you are the naughty one here. If you can have a drink with Master Yan Se and sit back and talk about it, you don't have to come."
"You filed a complaint against Chen Xuan, do you think I should tell Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess?"
According to the academy's etiquette, Chen Xuan's etiquette was indeed much greater than his.
The State of Yan is still unable to escape the control of Taoism and the power of secular arrangements.
The change of throne of the Yan Kingdom still requires the approval of the Xiling Temple, otherwise it will be a malicious inheritance of the throne.
Li Huanyuan instantly lost the momentum he had just now. He was not afraid of his sister, but he was afraid of Chen Xuan!
That day, Li Hunyuan witnessed the banquet at the princess mansion with his own eyes. Even someone as capable as Chao Xiaoshu was no match for Chen Xuan, let alone him.
The prince Li Hun Yuan, who was the first to take the lead, was pushed back, leaving the sons of generals who were ready to make a move.
Naturally, I dare not come out to convict. If someone sues me, I will probably break several of the rattan sticks at home.
It can be said that this class is very stable, and many students who take the class think so.
But Cao Zhifeng felt disappointed. He was born as a general, came from a princely family, and was brave in the army. Why didn't he come out to provoke?
As a Yan person, there are not many opportunities to run away from the Tang Dynasty with confidence, so Cao Zhifeng especially likes to tell the newly admitted students about the rules of the academy and the principles of the academy.
------
Academy!
Deep in the winding path, there is a library, standing quietly, having experienced many years of wind and frost.
Such a library has a very simple name, ‘Old Library’.
This old library covers an area of 100 acres and has three floors in total.
I don’t know if it has the meaning of Sheng Yu San.
In the old library, students from the academy fall down from time to time. Coming here to read here is tantamount to asking for death if they are not well-educated enough.
However, there are many Xinglin masters in the academy. No matter how seriously injured you are, as long as you are still alive, there will always be a way to save you.
Chen Xuan was walking in the old library. In just half an hour, five academy disciples were carried out of the old library.
There are many books stored in the old library, some of which are unique. On the yellowed pages, the experiences of previous generations are endlessly circulated.
"It is indeed very effective to train disciples by recording words in books as a means of cultivation."
Put down that specious volume of "Nanhua Collection", this Nanhua Collection in an old library has many parts that don't even make sense.
It seems that there are a lot of things missing. Compared with the "Nanhua Sutra" he often heard, the Namhua Collection only explains certain fragments of the Nanhua Sutra.
The relationship between the "Nam Hua Sutra" and the "Nan Hua Collection" is probably more than just the word "Nan Hua".
In addition, other books such as "The Preliminary Interpretation of Qihai Snow Mountain", "The Mysterious Chapter of Sword Dao", and "On Haoran Sword" were all newly written in the past hundred years.
Chen Xuan shuttled through the old library, looking for books that were handed down thousands of years ago.
If you want to truly understand the world, you must understand the history of the world.
Since the word "Nanhua" appears, we can always find other clues.
When he was in the Chen Mansion, Chen Xuan asked Qing He to buy the "Tai Shang Induction Chapter" and read it through. It can be determined that there are not many similarities and differences between the "Tai Shang Induction Chapter" here and the Tai Shang Induction Chapter he knows.<
/p>
At most, there are only a few syllables with different pronunciations, or some misunderstood words.
Half an hour later, Chen Xuan had already reached the third floor of the old library, which was different from the first and second floors where students came and went.
The third floor of the old library looks particularly quiet. In the corner by the window, Yu Lian is holding a hairpin with flowers and small regular script.
Naturally, Yu Lian also saw Chen Xuan, and then Yu Lian stopped writing and asked: "You are the top grader in the seventh subject of the academy, so why don't you take the class taught by Cao Zhifeng?"
Chen Xuan, who was reading a Taoist practice book, closed the book in his hand and said: "If you lose Tao, you will be virtuous; if you lose virtue, you will be benevolent; if you lose benevolence, you will be righteous; if you lose righteousness, you will be righteous."
"Although I have gained the Tao, I have never lost it. If I have not lost the Tao, I still have virtue, so there is no need to learn etiquette!"
Ritual is a restraint, restraining those who are immoral.
If there is no virtue, why should we use etiquette to restrain ourselves? The way of the world has lost its virtue first and then its virtue.
Only the etiquette comes out to restrain the wicked. As far as the academy is concerned, the fist of the academy is big, which can explain the etiquette.
Yu Lian stood up and smiled implicitly: "Then I dare to ask fellow Daoist Chen, what path do you come to the academy to seek? What virtues do you cultivate?"
Although Cao Zhifeng's teachings on etiquette were biased and refuted, they were very similar. Her teacher, the Confucius, expelled the contemplative master to the South China Sea, frightening the lecturer and trapping him in a ravine.
This is the principle of the academy and the etiquette of the academy.
Chen Xuan replied calmly: "To seek the Tao is to seek the Tao. Since I have entered the world, I seek peace and cultivate a morality that will last for ten thousand years."
"I really don't agree with the etiquette of the academy."
"A husband who is courteous has little loyalty and trust, and is the leader of chaos!"
"In turn, the academy treats the strong as a courtesy, but the strong are not always strong, and the weak are not always weak."
"At that time, what should be the etiquette?"
What is lacking will be promoted. In the Tang Dynasty, the etiquette of princes and nobles was advocated.
In the secular world, there are many etiquettes, and in the academy, it is just a matter of principle to defecate with your fist.
He disagrees with this truth. If you judge it according to this, he is the biggest reason here.
Your Majesty remembers my name!
Yu Lian smiled flatly and said: "Chen Daoyou is very suitable to go to Lanke Temple to argue, but Master has a big fist. This is the principle of the academy and the etiquette of the academy."
Chen Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Feiheng!"
