Perhaps it was the education he received in his previous life that made Cao Peng a little disgusted with the ancient academies.
In all the TV dramas, there is a bad old man with a bunch of children, shaking their heads, and so on, exuding a sour and rotten atmosphere.
However, when he actually sat in the lecture hall, he had a different feeling.
Speaking of this, I have to mention one person, that is, the contemporary master of Confucian classics, Zheng Xuan. In the ninth year of Yanxi, that is, 166 AD, the first party-related disaster occurred in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The reason for the incident was the Yu Shi family
Conflicts with eunuchs. In this disaster of party imprisonment, more than 200 celebrities, such as Li Ying, Chen Shi, Du Mi, etc., were imprisoned and captured, and rewards were offered for the capture of escapees.
Later, due to the support of his relatives' group, Emperor Huan ordered the release of more than 200 people including Li Ying.
But not long after, the eunuch group launched a counterattack and conspired to frame Li Ying, Du Mi and others. They were imprisoned and executed. In the first year of Jianning of Emperor Ling, that is, 168 AD, all states and counties investigated party members and all party members.
His disciples, former officials, fathers, sons, and brothers were all implicated. This was the so-called second disaster of party imprisonment. The so-called party imprisonment meant that he was regarded as a party member and was imprisoned, cutting off his path to officialdom, and having no use as an official.
At that time, Zheng Xuan was an old official of Du Mi, and was appreciated and promoted by Du Mi, so he was also regarded as a party member.
In the fourth year of Jianning, Zheng Xuan was imprisoned.
After being imprisoned, Zheng Xuan stayed behind closed doors and practiced Buddhist scriptures in seclusion.
Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty can be divided into modern and ancient classics. After Qin Shihuang burned books, some Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty recited some scriptures from memory and recorded and compiled them in the popular script at the time, that is, official script, and called them Jinwen Jing; Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty,
During the period of Emperor Ai, Liu Xiang and his son discovered the "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" written in ancient Zhou script from some collections of books, plus some scriptures locked on the walls of the cave, as well as "Mao Shi" and other works, forming the ancient text
School of Classics. Since the Han Dynasty, the conflict between the two schools of modern and ancient times has never stopped.
Zheng Xuanchu studied Jingyi and Gongyang Chunqiu from Wu Yuan (name of the person), and belonged to the Jinwen Jing school; later he studied "Zhou Guan" and "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" with Zhang Gongzu, and belonged to the ancient Wen Jing school. He integrated modern and ancient times, and in
During the years of imprisonment, the school of "Zheng Xue" was created and annotated hundreds of classics. As soon as Zheng Xue's scriptures came out, it immediately caused a sensation. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, scholars began to abandon the original modern and ancient texts.
Confucianism turned to advocating Zheng Xue's classics and made it the New Confucianism that was "the religion of the world".
It is today, fifteen spring and autumn years have passed.
Zheng's study of scriptures has become the mainstream, and all teaching in schools should be based on Zheng's study of scriptures.
Hu Zhao was born in the fourth year of Xiping. During his studies, he was also influenced by Zheng Xue's scriptures, so his explanations always took the "Lun" annotated by Zheng Xuan as the main body. However, Hu Zhao had learned a lot and when explaining the scriptures
, it is inevitable to add your own opinions.
From shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, easy to understand.
Cao Peng found that what he heard was very interesting...
When reciting "Lun", it is also very interesting to follow the very characteristic rhythm of the ancients, with yin and yang.
Unconsciously, noon passed, and Zheng Xuan took a small mallet and tapped the bronze bell gently, which also heralded the end of get out of class. According to the rules of the academy, there is an hour at noon and an hour in the afternoon, leaving half an hour for eating in between. At noon, All classes for the day are over.
Cao Peng and Sima Yi stood up and walked out of the lecture hall.
Other students gathered together in twos and threes, eating and chatting.
There is a saying that you should eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.
But for this mountain student, there don't seem to be so many rules.
"That Cao Peng, I heard he was an official of the imperial court?"
"Well, I asked around yesterday when I went outside the mountain. The Cavalry Commander is older than our county magistrate... I also heard that this man named Cao is quite famous and is not an ordinary person."
"Since you have become an official, why do you come to study?"
"This...who knows? He is probably a member of a high-ranking family, and he wants to gain some fame from his teacher..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Captain Cao is different from that person. Yesterday, my father went to help him build a house. He gave my father a piece of wild boar leg and a jar of wine. Captain Cao is very kind, and his retinues all
Look at the Lord who has passed through the world, how can you compare with him?"
The ‘that one’ in the students’ mouth is Sima Yi.
It can be seen that Sima Yi is not very popular in this academy.
At this moment, I saw a student walking in from outside the door, carrying two heavy food boxes.
"Come, come, come, Mr. Cao is treating us... Haha, his retinue just hunted the elk at noon and gave us two deer legs. They are all roasted. Everyone, come quickly, otherwise they will be gone."
The lid of the food box is opened, and the smell of meat is aromatic.
Although the mountain people also hunt, to be honest, most of the prey they hunt has to be exchanged for daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
As a result, they didn't have much opportunity to eat meat.
Several students hesitated for a moment, couldn't help but get up from the smell of meat and came over.
Someone took the lead, and others immediately followed. In the blink of an eye, the courtyard was bustling inside and outside, and the students were eating with gusto.
"Youxue, why are you doing this?"
Sima Yi and Cao Peng were having dinner together and couldn't help but ask.
Perhaps, in his opinion, Cao Peng's behavior was unavoidable and seemed to be flattering.
Cao Peng said with a smile: "Being happy alone is not as good as being happy together. From now on, we will have to live here and have a harmonious relationship. It will always be beneficial."
"Alone Better Together?"
After hearing this, Sima Yi couldn't help but laugh!
After the meal, Cao Peng and Sima Yi returned to the school again, obviously feeling different.
Eaters have short mouths, and takers have short hands. Regardless of whether these mountain people students really accept Cao Peng, at least on the surface, they show some intimacy.
"Captain Cao, thank you very much!"
"Yes, Captain Cao, has your house been repaired? If you need help, just let me know."
"..."
Such greetings kept coming and going.
Even Zhou Qi, who had a conflict with Cao Peng, couldn't help but nod in greeting when he saw Cao Peng.
Cao Peng smiled all over his face and answered one by one, making the students even more enthusiastic.
Sima Yi frowned, with a hint of understanding in his eyes. He had been in this academy for a whole year, and he had never seen these students with such an attitude. Before, he and the mountain students were very different from each other, so he has not made many friends so far.
. In other words, he didn’t bother to deal with these mountain people at all. Yesterday, he told Cao Peng about the customs of the mountain people. Today, he found himself wanting to ask Cao Peng for advice on how to get along with others... No wonder Cao Peng is so young.
, can have such a reputation.
He is also proud, strict when far away, gentle when close...
Sima Yi couldn't help but secretly admire him.
At this time, Hu Zhao walked into the lecture hall.
Seeing the extremely warm scene in the lecture hall, a smile flashed in his eyes.
“At noon, we talked about the township party.
Today is the end of the month. According to the rules, I want to review your income this month. During this month, we talked about "Shuowen", learned "Xiao", and interpreted "Lun"... So today, I want to review it.
Your article. Today’s topic is based on..."
Hu Zhao showed a sly smile.
"I know that you will definitely think that I will use the "Treatise" to formulate propositions."
Sima Yi's expression changed, and Cao Peng's expression also changed.
"But I won't let you get what you want. Today I will write a good article on the lotus pond outside the window."
There was a commotion in the lecture hall.
Cao Peng turned to look at Sima Yi, only to see that Sima Yi had a sad face and seemed a little at a loss.
Hu Zhao is an interesting person. He told me yesterday what he was going to talk about today, and he also knew that Sima Yi would definitely remind me...
Does this count as building a plank road openly and using it secretly?
Cao Peng couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
But the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
He frowned and picked up his pen, showing a thoughtful expression.
Sima Yi looked at the small lotus pond outside the window, in a daze; while in the hall, there were more students scratching their heads, scratching their heads, or thinking hard, in various forms.
Sighing, Cao Peng thought to himself: Do you want another large copy of Qiangu's article?
He picked up the pen, wrote silently on the paper in front of him...
Speaking of which, I really have to thank Huang Yueying. Before, Cao Peng couldn't use his dog-like calligraphy at all. But starting from last year, under Huang Yueying's supervision, he began to copy the Dharma stickers. Except for the period of the fierce battle in Quyang, he stopped.
In addition, he has been practicing hard until now. Although he is not a master of calligraphy, he can still master it. Moreover, after the Battle of Quyang, Cao Peng's calligraphy clearly has a sharper spirit. The iron pen and silver hook are quite impressive.
There are some rules and regulations that even Huang Yueying believes that he has made great progress.
The flowers of water, land and vegetation are very lovely.
I only love the lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained, makes clear ripples without being evil, is straight in the middle and has no vines or branches.
Chrysanthemum is the hermit flower; peony is the rich and noble flower; lotus is the noble flower.
After writing this, Cao Peng didn't know how to continue writing. The Tao Yuanming in the original text was still a tadpole at this time, and there seemed to be no one in the world who was famous for his love for chrysanthemums. He hesitated and thought about it.
, pick up the pen and continue writing.
The love of chrysanthemum is rarely heard of; the love of lotus, who can share it with others; the love of peony is suitable for everyone!
After writing, he took a deep breath and put down his pen. Looking back, Sima Yi was suppressing a blush in his face, as if he was brewing feelings, while the others either lowered their heads and thought hard, or looked at the lotus pond outside the window, at a loss.
Hu Zhao was sitting behind the desk, turning a blind eye to the faces of all the people in the hall. He was holding a book and reading it with gusto. However, out of the corner of his eye, he could see everything in the hall clearly.
Seeing Cao Peng writing, Hu Zhao was startled.
When Cao Peng put down his pen, he showed doubts again.
As for Cao Peng, he focused on Sima Yi.
The Cao family, father and son, had outstanding literary talent and founded An Wen style. They were the great masters of the generation. On the contrary, Sima Yi and his son did not seem to have left anything special. Apart from the rotten Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, the Sima family's greatest contribution seems to be the Rebellion of the Eight Kings.
, Wu Huan Hua.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Sima's evaluation in history is far lower than that of Cao and his son.
Looking at Sima Yi now, Cao Peng also felt that, at least in terms of literary talent, Sima Yi was not good at it. However, he quite enjoyed the way Sima Yi blushed and held back his article. After all, it is also interesting to appreciate the famous Tomb Tiger Eater in later generations.
.
"Youxue, have you finished writing?"
Sima Yi held it in for a long time, then turned to see Cao Peng looking at him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help being surprised.
Cao Peng nodded, put his finger to his lips, and shushed. He pointed at the pen and paper in front of Sima Yi, and he smiled slightly without saying anything.
Sima Yi couldn't help but feel horrified.
How long has it been?
In less than half a stick of incense, Cao Peng actually finished writing!
The speed of writing and thinking is so amazing that even a teacher may not be able to achieve this.
At the same time, I cursed in my heart: Since you have such a good literary talent, why did you come here to study? Doesn’t this make me look bad?
A kind of jealousy that I had never felt before quietly planted seeds in my heart.
He smiled, lowered his head, and ignored Cao Peng.
"Cao Peng, are you done?"
Hu Zhao suddenly asked.
Cao Peng quickly stood up and said, "Sir, the student has finished."
"Bring it to me and see."
Under the surprised eyes of the students in the hall, Cao Peng stood up and respectfully presented the article to Hu Zhao.
Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes and took a quick glance.
He raised his head, looked at Cao Peng and said, "The evil spirit is too strong."
"ah?"
"The evil spirit in your strokes is too strong!" Hu Zhao said in a deep voice: "But thinking about it, this is related to your military service, and the murderous spirit was so obvious that although your calligraphy is neat, it is difficult for people to accept. You Xue, from then on
It is necessary to cultivate the aura of awe-inspiring people to calm down this evil spirit."
Cao Peng frowned and said respectfully: "Students will be taught."
Hu Zhao sighed and began to review the article.
It was only seventy-five words, but every word entered his heart. At first, Hu Zhao's face was expressionless, but gradually, a faint smile appeared on his face.
He raised his head and looked at Cao Peng.
"Youxue, starting from tomorrow, you need to wear white clothes."
This sentence also means that Hu Zhao officially recognized Cao Peng.
Sima Yi's expression changed as he became more jealous and more curious.
What did Cao Peng write in this short period of time? The teacher was so satisfied? He was allowed to attend the lecture in white clothes all of a sudden?
Sima Yi lowered his head and looked at the article he had just written. Sima Yi's face became a little ugly.
At the same time, he felt a little uneasy. He didn't know if today's article would be able to catch the eye of the teacher? If not, it would be a shame!
In April of the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao personally led an army to Lin Dahe.
General Shi Huan captured the Hanoi army, and then he and Cao Ren attacked She Dog and killed the former Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang's general Sui Gu. Afterwards, Cao Cao crossed the river and continued to besiege She Dog. Former Hanoi chief Shi Xue Hong led his troops to surrender. Hanoi, south of Hanoi
It is said that "to resist the danger of Hulao, rely on the solid ground in the north". After Cao Cao captured Hanoi County, he appointed Zhang Liao as the prefect of Hanoi and led his troops to station the shooting dogs, thus strengthening control.
However, at this moment, an emergency came from Guangling.
Sun Ce crossed the river to attack Jiangshui Temple and reached Guangling County. Sun He led his troops to capture Jiangshui Temple and sent his troops north to attack Hailing County.
For a time, the situation in Huainan suddenly became tense.
