On this day, Wang Can personally went to the academy to inspect. Many of the courtyards where the academy teachers lived had been built. The construction of the schools where scholars attended classes was also completed.
When Wang Can arrived, Zheng Xuan came.
When Zheng Xuan saw Wang Can, he took the initiative and said: "Master Wang, the academy has basically been repaired. Now, the academy does not have a clear name. After all, this academy was supported by Master Wang. Please name it."
Wang Can thought for a while and said seriously: "The current academy is established in Langya Kingdom. In my opinion, it should be named after Langya Academy. What does Kang Chenggong think?"
"Can!"
Zheng Xuan nodded and answered.
The word "Langya" is good, and Zheng Xuan can accept naming it after Langya Academy.
Zheng Xuan changed the topic and said again: "Your Majesty Wang is the leader of the Langya Kingdom. I would like to ask you again, Sir Wang, to write an inscription for the scholars in the academy to alert and encourage the scholars."
Having said this, Zheng Xuan stroked his beard under his chin, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Zheng Xuan's move has a double meaning.
First, it was to make friends with Wang Can and give him face.
After all, the establishment of Langya Academy is inseparable from Wang Can. Everything here is provided by Wang Can. The teachers in the academy need to support their families and rely on the academy to distribute their salaries, which Wang Can provides; the scholars in the academy need to eat.
It also needs to be provided by the academy. Even if the academy will charge for repairs, maintaining the operation of the academy is by no means an easy task.
Secondly, it is also a test to see what kind of person Wang Can is.
When it comes to writing inscriptions for Langya Academy, it is necessary to encourage scholars and inspire them. If you don't have a little bit of talent and learning, it will never be possible. You must have considerable talent.
Wang Can heard Zheng Xuan's words and chuckled: "In that case, let's go to Zheng Gong's study to use Zheng Gong's calligraphy."
"please!"
Zheng Xuan smiled and waved his hand.
Zheng Xuan himself is profound in knowledge and is not inexperienced in world affairs. Therefore, when it comes to matters related to the academy, he is willing to spend some time to contact Wang Can.
This little time cannot stop him from studying the classics.
This small amount of time will not affect his ability to teach scholars and impart knowledge.
But the help to the academy is real.
This is Zheng Xuan's point of view.
Moreover, Zheng Xuan had his own bottom line. If Wang Can's inscription did not meet the requirements and could not meet the requirements, Zheng Xuan would not be able to take it out and would definitely hide it in a high cabinet in the academy.
Not long after, Zheng Xuan led Wang Can to the study.
The guests and hosts sat down and Zheng Xuandao said: "Master Wang, please!"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Then I will show my shame."
"please!"
Zheng Xuan spoke again.
Wang Can picked up the brush and thought quickly in his mind. For a great Confucian like Zheng Xuan, who devoted himself to studying, he valued the cultivation and magnanimity of Confucian scholars more.
For such people, it is more appropriate to use aspirational aphorisms.
Got it!
Wang Can raised his eyebrows and immediately started writing.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"
One sentence with four lines of "Hengqu" was written by Wang Can.
Not only that, Wang Can's fonts are powerful enough to penetrate the back of the paper. They are standard block scripts and have some of the bones of willow scripts. The fonts are majestic and majestic. Although Wang Can's fonts are not truly impressive, he is not a true master of calligraphy.
, but such a font suddenly appeared, which surprised Zheng Xuan.
not simple!
It’s really not simple!
Zheng Xuan first admired the word, then recited the four lines of Hengqu, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Wang Can saw it in his eyes and chuckled in his heart.
He knew this was the result.
A great scholar like Zheng Xuan is actually very easy to deal with.
Because they are very pure.
Because they are real readers.
Such a sentence of "Hengqu" and "Four Sentences" has always been tried and tested. Wang Can sat aside and sat quietly, letting Zheng Xuan admire the calligraphy without disturbing him.
After a while, Zheng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked at Wang Can, he couldn't help but sigh: "If Mr. Wang abandons his official position to study knowledge, he will definitely become a great scholar of his generation."
Wang Can was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Xuan would comment like this.
Ask him to calm down and study the knowledge in books, but he can't do it.
Everyone is good at something.
Zheng Xuan is good at studying knowledge. He can calm down and read books carefully and study classics word for word. But Wang Can is not good at it. He is unwilling to do such a thing.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Kang Chenggong, what you want to do is to carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and what I want to do next is to create peace for all generations. You and I have different ambitions, and our research directions are also different."
"Haha, that's true."
When Zheng Xuan heard Wang Can's words, he was greatly relieved and looked approving.
At this time, he was very pleased with Wang Can.
Young and promising!
He is worthy of being someone who, at such a young age, was able to pacify the Langya Kingdom and stabilize the Langya Kingdom.
That's how people are.
When you like a person, no matter what he does, you can pick out the advantages and find the shining points of appreciation. But if you don't like a person, you will find faults everywhere and make everything unpleasant.
Zheng Xuan looked at this word carefully, as if he had found a treasure.
Wang Can continued: "Kang Chenggong, when I say this, I actually give it to people who study knowledge like you. Because most scholars cannot meet this requirement. Cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world, the real majority
It is good for a person to be able to manage his family and govern the country. So in addition to this set of words, I also have another set of words that I really give to the academicians."
Zheng Xuandao: "Master Wang, please!"
At this moment, Zheng Xuan was looking forward to it.
Because from the words Wang Can wrote, he could feel how extraordinary Wang Can was.
Wang Can picked up his pen and started writing, with a serious look on his face.
After a while, a word was written.
Zheng Xuan looked at the words on the rice paper with a look of surprise on his face, and exclaimed: "Your salary is your salary, and the people care about you; the people below are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"What a word!"
Zheng Xuan stroked his palms and praised: "The word "Master Wang" is a warning to the scholars in the academy. Because after the scholars in the academy come out, most of them want to become officials. Using such a word is a warning.
They are very good."
Wang Can said: "Kang Chenggong is so complimentary."
You have a salary and a salary, and the people are rich and anointed; the people are easy to abuse, but the heaven is hard to bully!
This sentence comes from "The Proverbs of Promulgation of Orders".
There are twenty-four sentences in the "Ling Zhi", which was promulgated by Meng Chang, Emperor of Later Shu, at the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, specifically to punish officials.
By the time of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, in view of the corruption of Shu politics before and after, was defeated without a fight, and finally reduced the "Promulgation of Orders" to four sentences, that is, you have a salary and a salary, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully!
Zheng Xuan said seriously: "Whether it is the previous word or the current word, I will arrange for someone to carve it on a stone and stand it on both sides of the main entrance of the academy for the scholars to remember. My name is Langya Academy.
A scholar must not only have lofty ambitions, but also be able to remember lessons. Only in this way can he be considered a qualified scholar."
Wang Can said: "Kang Chenggong's statement makes sense!"
Zheng Xuan looked at Wang Can at this moment and admired him even more, thinking that Wang Can was very extraordinary.
The two talked for more than half an hour before Wang Can stood up and left. But Zheng Xuan immediately arranged for someone to invite Guan Ning and Bing Yuan.
Guan Ning and Bing Yuan were both from Qingzhou and had a good relationship with Zheng Xuan.
The two of them were naturally juniors in front of Zheng Xuan.
After the two saluted, Guan Ning smiled and said: "Kang Chenggong, we heard that Wang Can is coming, and you personally received him. In my opinion, you are really not like this. As long as you are in Langya Kingdom, you will be convinced by Wang Can."
Zheng Xuan chuckled and said: "People must have a grateful heart. I can't be arrogant just because I have a little fame. This is not a real scholar. What's more, Wang Can gave money and food, and also provided enough rice paper so that our academy can
It's running steadily and should be welcomed."
After Guan Ning heard this, he felt Zheng Xuan's sincerity and said with emotion: "Kang Chenggong is truly a heavenly being."
Bing Yuan also said: "Kang Chenggong's innocent heart is admirable."
"Haha, you guys, there's no need to praise me."
Zheng Xuan stroked his beard under his chin and said: "If you continue to praise me, I will float to the sky. Come, come, come to me. I let you come, so that you can appreciate two words and a few words.
.”
When Guan Ning and Bing Yuan heard this, they immediately stepped forward.
Both of them knew Zheng Xuan's knowledge, which was extremely profound. Zheng Xuan must have a new work.
The two of them stepped forward, and as soon as they arrived in front of Zheng Xuan, they saw two words on the desk.
The first character is Hengqu's four sentences.
The second piece of calligraphy was anointed by Minzhi Min.
Such two words fell into the eyes of Guan Ning and Bing Yuan, and their eyes widened immediately with incredible expressions. They were very shocked.
"Good words, good words, good sentences, good sentences!"
Guan Ning praised him one after another and said with emotion: "As expected of Mr. Kang Chenggong, he wrote such a powerful sentence, and the original font created by Mr. Kang Chenggong is really extraordinary."
Bing Yuan also said: "It is true. Kang Chenggong's knowledge has reached the level of heaven and man."
"Hahaha……"
Zheng Xuan laughed loudly.
After Guan Ning and Bing Yuan heard the laughter, they looked at each other in confusion, wondering why Zheng Xuan laughed suddenly.
After a while, Zheng Xuan stopped laughing and said: "These words and words were all written by Mr. Wang. I asked him to write two sentences for the academy, so the words on the desk were written."
"hiss!"
Guan Ning and Bing Yuan were both extremely shocked.
This is actually Wang Can's work.
Wang Can, a martial artist, could actually have such ability, knowledge and spirit. In their opinion, someone who can write such words must be someone who has read a lot of poetry. Without a certain background, he would not be able to write such a thing.
's classic.
Guan Ning smiled bitterly and said, "It's because I can't see Mount Tai."
Bing Yuan said: "Mount Tai cannot be seen with a blindfold. If it weren't for Duke Kang Cheng's reminder, I'm afraid we still have prejudices against Wang Can. Wang Can is indeed not a simple person."
Zheng Xuan stroked his beard and laughed.
The reason why he called them here was to change their attitude towards Wang Can.
For the sake of the academy.
Also for the sake of the two of them. (To be continued)
