Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Zhongnan Mountain, Zhounan Mountain, and Nanshan, is a beautiful valley that stretches for hundreds of miles in the middle of the Qinling Mountains. Its terrain is dangerous and the road is rugged. There are five large valleys and hundreds of small valleys, stretching for hundreds of miles. "Zuo Zhuan" calls it Zhongnan Mountain. Nanshan is the "danger of Kyushu", and "Historical Records" says that the Qinling Mountains are "the obstacle to the world". As for its beauty, it is really intoxicating with its thousands of green peaks and deep and elegant valleys.
Louguantai is located in the mountain front Taiyuan and Qianshan District in the middle of the northern foothills of Zhongnan Mountain. It was founded in the Western Zhou Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, declined during the Song and Jin Dynasties, and was destroyed at the end of the Song Dynasty. It is said that Yin Xi, the order of Hangu Pass in the Spring and Autumn Period, knotted grass and built a building here. It is named Caolou Temple because it is used to observe celestial phenomena. Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, wrote the 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching here and built a platform on the high hill in the south of the building to teach scriptures, also known as the sutra preaching platform. Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty planted trees extensively and More than 300 households moved here to protect it. In the Tang Dynasty, with Laozi Li Er as the ancestor, they made great efforts to build it. In the seventh year of Wude, Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty changed Louguantai into the Zongsheng Palace. It was expanded again during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, making it the largest at that time. Royal Taoist Temple and Taoist Holy Land.
The Han Dynasty governed the world according to Huang-Lao theory, but did not make any repairs to Lao Tzu's relics. Looking up, he looked up at a wilderness, with jungles everywhere. Three or two thatched huts dotted among them, completely different from the magnificent and spectacular Taoist ancestral homes today. There is no comparable qualification.
Wen Dang got out of the car and took a deep breath: "What a huge mountain! Zi Heng should compose a poem to praise it!"
Su Ren scratched his head. Along the way, he was thinking about poems about Zhongnan Mountain or Louguantai. Unfortunately, he had little talent and knowledge. He had never heard of poems about Zhongnan Mountain described by poets, so he couldn't even copy them.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that Su Ren made no movement, Wen Dang turned his head and said with a smile, "What? Zi Heng can't tell?"
Dong Zhongshu snorted coldly: "His thoughts are all about political power. Now that he is relegated to such a place, how can he write any good poems?"
Su Ren regretted bringing these two old men here. One kept asking him to compose poems, and the other kept making sarcasm. He didn't know what evil he had suffered in his previous life, but he had to deal with these two people. But one was his teacher, and the other was his teacher. My father-in-law couldn't afford to offend me at all, so I could only try my best to endure it.
Wen Dang said: "I still remember Zi Heng's strange poem back then. It asked you how much sorrow you can have. It's just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. My home is in Shucheng. I have seen the river flowing eastward. When I heard it, "Liao Ziheng's strange poem, as soon as you close your eyes, you will see the roar of the river, with countless beautiful scenery, but it is a bit sad, more like it was written by a woman."
Su Ren chuckled twice. He thought to himself that it had been so many years, how could he still remember it? Could it be that I told you that it was Li Yu, the empress? .Suddenly a poem came to mind. When I visited Louguantai, I couldn’t tell whose work it was when I looked at the stone tablets on both sides.
"Teacher, father-in-law, I suddenly remembered a song. I wonder if I can tell it and ask these two elders to comment on it."
"Oh?" Wen Dang was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, recite it quickly!"
"Ahem!" Su Ren cleared his throat and pondered for a moment: "Going out to see the Nanshan Mountains brings endless inspiration; the beauty is hard to describe, the green sun is in my eyes; sometimes white clouds rise, and the sky unwinds; I feel like it in my heart, and I am deeply excited."
Wen Dang was still deep in thought, but Dong Zhongshu snorted coldly: "What is this? The words do not convey the meaning, and I am upset after hearing it!"
But Wen Dang waved his hand: "No, no, no, Brother Dong didn't hear the artistic conception in this poem, it's beautiful!"
Su Ren let out a long breath and glanced at Dong Zhongshu. I dare say that my father-in-law is good at Confucianism and a master in poetry and poetry, but he has no research on poetry. No wonder he has never written poetry and handed it down to the world. But he can fool the literary party.
It's very good, and it doesn't matter how many brain cells you kill.
After reviewing the poems, the group came to the foot of the mountain. There were people who had arrived in advance to help. Su Ren had the idea to establish an academy at Louguantai from the first day he came to Chang'an. Su Ren was deeply influenced by later generations.
You are not a fool. No matter how powerful a person is, you can only make some small tricks. If you want to gain a foothold in a strange place, the best way is to find similar people. But if the big man doesn't have them, then cultivate them yourself.
Three years ago, Hu Ji, who had been staying in Laojun Temple, was brought to Louguantai by Su Ren. His task was to build an academy. It took Hu Ji Leng three full years to open up the academy in a barren mountain.
It is a large manor. The manor is very large. Although there are not many houses built now, you can see from the expanded flat land how spectacular it will be when the entire manor is built.
When Hu Ji saw Su Ren, tears rushed down his cheeks. He rolled and crawled down in front of Su Ren. He was choked and speechless. Hu Ji was an out-and-out person who started a business with Su Ren.
Hu Ji risked his life and took people to boil salt in Wenling. Otherwise, Su Ren would not be where he is today. For this reason, Hu Ji was almost hacked to death by Gou Tianming. This kind of friendship will be precious in future generations where interests are paramount.
Pulling Hu Ji up, Su Ren's eyes were a little moist: "Brother Hu, thank you for your hard work!"
Hu Ji quickly wiped his tears: "It's not hard, not hard at all. Being able to follow Mr. Hu Ji is the happiest thing in my life!"
Huo Jin came out from behind Su Ren and smiled at Hu Ji: "Uncle Hu."
Hu Ji looked at Hawking up and down, and nodded seriously: "Okay! I have become successful with my husband. I am no longer the mud monkey I used to be. I have grown taller and have become an adult."
"That is!"
Hu Ji smiled: "Shit, in my eyes you are still the monkey holding a spear and leading a group of boys to run around. Brother Huo said it when he came. If you don't listen to sir, let me interrupt."
Your leg!"
Leng Jun and Leng Yue came over to salute Hu Ji, and the children who had come out from Laojun's Watch came around chirping. Hu Ji became happier as he watched, but other people who didn't know Hu Ji were left out. This is a circle, as long as
If you have a group of people under you, they will form the outer skin of circles like an onion. Su Ren's subordinates are like this. Laojunguan, Yuanshan, Chengdu, Chang'an, and Kuaiji are divided into layers, with inside, outside and near.
If there is a distance, no amount of reconciliation will help.
Su Ren interrupted the crowd, introduced others to Hu Ji, and also introduced Hu Ji to others. As long as they got to know each other, they had to take their time to reconcile. Hu Ji was polite to everyone, and others
He was also polite to Hu Ji, which was actually amicable.
The manor built is not next to the road. It is located in a valley according to Su Ren's instructions. The direction facing the main road is blocked by a mountain ridge. Standing on the road, you cannot see the situation inside. As long as a small team is stationed on the mountain ridge,
It can withstand any attacks from outside the mountain, and then easily move into the mountain to ensure its own safety. This is Su Ren's important base in the future, and there cannot be any mistakes.
Under the leadership of Hu Ji, we walked around the mountain ridge and finally discovered the true face of Zhongnan Academy. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. It does not have the elegance of southern gardens, but has the orderliness of northern courtyards.
Hu Ji continued to introduce to everyone: "What is being built here is the school building, and over there is the canteen for eating. The bookstore was built first according to the teacher's wishes, and after that is your residence. Everything is built according to the teacher's wishes."
The teacher’s drawings and construction are perfect.”
Han Qing asked: "There are front, back, left and right, so what is the use of this big open space in the middle?"
Hu Ji smiled and glanced at Su Ren: "Sir, this is a square for students to exercise."
"Exercise?" Dong Zhongshu's black face came again.
Su Ren quickly explained: "Father-in-law, don't be surprised. There are six arts of saints, rituals, music, and imperial books. Our academy does not cultivate mediocre people who are not diligent and indifferent to food and grain. We want to cultivate talents with flexible minds and strong bodies, so the boy stayed here."
This open space is for students to have a place to practice archery after studying."
Dong Zhongshu nodded slightly: "You are thoughtful!"
This Confucianism is not that Confucianism. In the earliest Confucianism, people who only know how to do things will be looked down upon. It is said that Confucius was a master of driving. At that time, he was probably about the same as the Thirteenth Man with Six Rings today. And then
To give an example, the scholars at that time all wore swords, and many of them were masters of fencing, such as the Lei Quilt who was imprisoned in Tingtingwei Mansion.
It was only after the Tang and Song dynasties that the essence of Confucianism was misinterpreted. People rushed to abandon the tiring physical training and only served as officials for the Jinshi. This is why the term "Sour Confucianism" or "corrupt Confucianism" came into being.
It is not easy for Dong Zhongshu to praise someone, and it is even more surprising that he praised Su Ren. In fact, when Dong Zhongshu walked in here, he was immediately attracted by such a large academy. According to this kind of pomp, there is no point in housing thousands of people in such an academy.
Question. Think about it, how powerful it was when thousands of students saluted Dong Zhongshu at the same time and called them teacher? Confucius only had three thousand disciples!
After running for two days, the women and children were all placed in the backyard to rest, and the two old men Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang couldn't help but take a nap. Su Ren couldn't sleep, he had more important things to do.
There is a courtyard at the back of the academy. The location is very good, surrounded by mountains and rivers. In front of the door is the Heihe River. Hu Ji had people build a small pond and even built an octagonal pavilion. It has not been completed yet, but you can see it.
What will the scene look like after it is completed?
Su Ren's face was full of smile: "Brother Hu, okay!"
Hu Ji also smiled: "I know that my husband likes purity, so I changed it privately, as long as he likes it."
There were no stone benches or tables in the pavilion, so Su Ren sat on the railings. They were all made of fine pine wood, strong and durable, and the light rosin smell made people feel relaxed and happy. They sent away the irrelevant people, leaving only Han Qing and Huang Shi.
Three, a few bulls.
Su Ren patted the railing beside him: "Mr. Han, sit down!"
Han Qing did not hesitate and sat next to Su Ren: "Liu An couldn't sit still and prepared to assassinate His Majesty. Your Majesty has also made preparations. Everything depends on the outcome of the Longshou Yuan hunt tomorrow." (To be continued)
