Although Zixia was a disciple of Confucius and one of the ten Confucian philosophers, his disciples Li Kui and Wu Qi were both Legalist figures.
Shang Yang was still his disciple.
Xunzi, Li Si, and Han Fei were all second and third generation disciples.
The most important thing is that Zixia was the teacher of Wei Wenhou, the first Confucian to hold the title of imperial teacher.
The official ordered Zhang Yue to write an article for Zixia, which seemed to have some purpose.
Zhang Yue thought briefly and then started writing an article for Zixia.
After the official talked with Zhou Dunyi, he was very happy and immediately told Jiao Qian's memorial to ask the emperor to give Zhou Dunyi a canon for teaching scriptures.
After the official agreed, he immediately went to sit on the throne in the hall and personally taught Zhou Dunyi a copy of the Book of Changes.
After Zhou Dunyi knelt down to accept it, the emperor then gave him the opportunity to sit on the platform southwest of the throne to preach.
Zhou Dunyi took off his shoes and got on the bed.
Zhang Yue and other officials wrote articles in the east and west verandas, while all the other ministers sat in the hall. As for the imperial students, they worshiped outside the hall and faced north to listen to the lecture.
Zhou Dunyi's voice was not loud, but it was clear and calm, and his expression was gentle and respectful. The wind blew past the big locust tree outside the hall, and the students' Confucian shirts fluttered slightly. Everyone's expressions were so focused and solemn.
Further away, tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers from the capital gathered to watch Xiang Taixue.
The scene of the emperor's study ceremony seemed so harmonious to everyone.
After Zhou Dunyi lectured on the Yi, he retired, and the officials were overjoyed and gave him fifty pieces of silk.
Later, the officials ordered Zhang Zai to teach the scriptures directly.
The officials did not have much impression of Zhang Zai at first, but Zhang Yue repeatedly recommended him to him, saying that he was familiar with military affairs and had profound knowledge, so he had an impression.
Zhang Zaiben was the best at the I Ching. In the second year of Jiayou's reign, Wen Yanbo invited him to set up a tiger-skin chair in Daxiangguo Temple to teach the I Ching.
However, Zhang Zai admitted that his attainments in the Book of Changes were not as good as those of his two cousins, Er Cheng, who did not teach the Book of Changes when he was alive.
In front of the officials, Zhang Zai lectured on three chapters of "Shuo Ming".
Zhang Zaidao: "Shangshu mainly talks about the way to govern the world, and Shuo Ming is the best. King Wen, Taigong, and Gaozong received Fu Shuo. They are all virtuous ministers. Learning from ancient precepts will yield rewards. Do not follow the ancients in doing things, so as to defeat the eternal world.
, the bandit said you heard about it."
What Zhang Zai means is that if the country does not follow the ancients, the dynasty can last for a long time, but it has never been heard of. This is obviously contrary to the reform spirit advocated by the officials and Wang Anshi.
The official frowned slightly after hearing this, and then nodded to express his opinion.
Lu Huiqing, who was standing by the side, smiled slightly. Zhang Zai was recommended by Zhang Yue. Such recommendation was obviously the wrong person.
After Zhang Zai gave the lecture, he was given fifty pieces of silk.
Afterwards, Wang Anshi, Zhang Yue and other ministers completed the article and handed it over to the officials for browsing.
The official first looked at Wang Anshi and Yan Yan's words when he returned, he said: "With a basket of food and a ladle of drink, in a back alley, people can't bear their worries, and they won't change their happiness even when they return. You are as wise as Yanzi."
The officials praised Wang Anshi for living a simple life and not being luxurious, just like Yan Hui.
Indeed, there is no doubt about Wang Anshi's frugality and integrity. Even the officials who hate Wang Anshi the most cannot deny this.
Even the critical censor cannot criticize Wang Anshi on his personal ethics.
As for Sima Guang, he wrote about Zigong.
In the Analects of Confucius, there is a question about who is more virtuous, Zigong or Yan Hui. Zigong said that he was not as good as Yan Hui.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Yan Hui was more virtuous than Zigong, but among officials, Sima Guang was considered to be more virtuous than Wang Anshi.
Moreover, Zigong was good at doing business, and Wang Anshi's reforms made the court more profit-seeking. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Wang Anshi is more like Zigong, and Sima Guang is more like Yan Hui.
However, Sima Guang praised Zigong's words in his article: "I don't want others to do anything to me, and I also want nothing to be done to others."
The official nodded and said to Sima Guang: "A scholar who retreats modestly is like Zigong."
When Zhang Yue read Zixia's article, Zhang Yue talked about Zixia's enlightenment throughout the article.
The most important thing is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Among Zixia's students are Confucians, Legalists, Mohists, and military strategists...
All in all, students can make the most of their talents.
Even though there were many sects of students, the Confucian sect that truly flourished was Zixia.
The official said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Qing's achievements in establishing the Imperial Academy are as great as those of Zixia."
After hearing this, all the officials were amazed. What merit can be higher than being bestowed by the officials themselves?
Wang Anshi thought to himself that the reforms he had asked Lu Huiqing to preside over, such as the Qingmiao Fa and the Uniform Transmission Fa, had not yet seen success, but the Taixue under the leadership of Zhang Yue had succeeded.
Moreover, the officials couldn't wait to confer this credit on Zhang Yue in the form of a royal seal.
No one can take away such credit, and it will be recorded by the accompanying historian.
The officials were too partial to Zhang Yue and were determined to help Zhang Yue rise to power.
Wang Anshi couldn't help but think of Lu Huiqing. In comparison, it would be a bit difficult for him to force Lu Huiqing to mount a horse to fight with Zhang Yue.
The process of interpreting vegetables, listening to scriptures, and writing articles about the sages has been completed, and the official study has almost come to an end. However, Zhang Yue, who was in charge of the Imperial College, said: "Your Majesty, please come and inspect the Imperial College!"
"
The official was in a good mood today, and because of Zhang Yue's favor, he agreed.
Zhang Yue took the officials and other ministers to the book engraving workshop of the Imperial College first.
But I saw hundreds of calligraphers and carvers working here, and when officials came in person, they all knelt down and worshiped outside the workshop.
Zhang Yue said to the official: "Your Majesty, when I was writing Zixia's article, I thought of what he said: 'A hundred workers live in their workplaces to accomplish their work, and a gentleman learns how to do it.' Therefore, I thought of the book engraving workshop in Guozijian, and then
I would like to invite Your Majesty to come and take a look."
Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and other ministers looked at the book carving workshop and were puzzled as to what Zhang Yue meant by bringing the official family here.
Zhang Yue and the officials introduced that nowadays, in addition to the Nine Classics, the Imperial College also engraved books such as Zi Shu. The book engraving workshop even also engraved Shuowen Jiezi, Qunjing Yinbian and other books, all of which were from Taizong Taizong.
ancestors, and even the stereotypes passed down from the previous dynasty.
At this time, Lu Huiqing suddenly said: "The chapter is about to be made. In the past, Emperor Taizong said that the Imperial College can only charge the price of paper and ink for engraving books, and is not allowed to take profits, in order to reduce costs and facilitate people's purchase. How can the Imperial College Engraving Workshop make profits now?"
Lu Huiqing’s question is very tricky.
Emperor Taizong did say this, casually while inspecting the Imperial Academy.
But it has been a long time. The Imperial College does not rely on the income from engraving books to support itself, but relies on the court's funding. It is like being thirsty and not knowing how to fetch water from the well. If you expect it to rain all day long, you will definitely die of thirst sooner or later.
.
It is well known that Zhang Yue used the income from the book engraving workshop to fill the income hole of the Imperial Academy.
Lu Huiqing suddenly caught Emperor Taizong's inspection sentence and suddenly questioned it in front of the officials.
It can be seen that Lu Huiqing was anxious... At this moment, his jealousy completely broke out...
The official also listened to Lu Huiqing's words and said, "Yes, I remember Emperor Taizong did say that."
But Zhang Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty, in terms of the most printed Analects of Confucius printed by the Imperial College, the original version of the Analects printed by Emperor Taizong Shijian was sold for two hundred copies, and it has been at this price ever since. The Analects printed by the Imperial College Engraving Workshop
Not only did I not make a penny, I even suffered a slight loss.”
"But now the book engraving workshop of the Imperial College is still selling for this price, but it makes a slight profit!"
The official asked curiously: "Oh, what's the trick?"
Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the secret is to reduce costs."
