Taishi Ci shook his head and looked at Hu'er who was a little eager to try. Taishi Ci smiled and said: "Then you go and play, don't go too far." Hu'er nodded and ran over immediately, and Cui Yan's class Now that the lecture was over, the second batch of students entered, and when the previous batch of students walked out of the school grounds, Hu'er's identity could no longer be concealed.
Hu'er was interspersed among the students arrayed, and imitated their appearance. He wanted to participate in the array, but there was no place for him. He was so anxious that he ran around, directing the students' sacrifices. He soon saw this little guy. Seeing that the students who were originally in good formation were distracted by him, and some of them were standing in the wrong position, he suddenly became furious.
"That little...", just as he was about to scold him, a sacrificial wine hurriedly walked up to him and whispered something. The extremely ferocious sacrificial wine, listening to the words of his colleague, was obviously He was stunned for a moment, and then when he looked at Hu'er again, he squeezed out a smile, looked at the students on the side, and roared angrily: "Why don't you make room for Your Highness?" !”
The students quickly gave up a position, which was also the front position. Hu'er was overjoyed and quickly stood in this position.
As the sacrificial wine gave orders, the little guy mingled among the students, imitating their appearance, constantly forming formations, and running back and forth. However, after all, Hu'er was still young, so he just practiced with them for a while, and then he Too tired to run any longer, he sat on the ground, panting, looking at these students with admiration in his eyes.
After a long pause, Hu'er went elsewhere again. For the whole day, he had fun playing in the military science. He played with bows, rode horses, and even participated in combat training. It was such a joy to play, as he jumped up and down. When he came back, Cui Yan was still giving lectures. However, what he was talking about was all Confucian classics. Hu'er couldn't understand it at all and it was boring to listen to, so Taishi Ci took him to dinner.
Hu'er still has many problems.
Taishi Ci answered his questions impatiently, and the relationship between the two became increasingly close.
"General Taishi, are you older than my father?"
"That's natural..." Taishi Ci thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty is only in his early thirties, much younger than me..." Hu'er made a sound and asked again: "Then Are you older than me?"
"General Lu?"
"Um."
"Hey, I'm much younger than him. General Lu is already over seventy, but I'm only fifty-eight, much younger than him..." Taishi Ci said dissatisfiedly, Hu'er stared at He looked at Tai Shi Ci for a long time and then said, "But my hair is black, and I'm not as thin as you."
"General Lu doesn't look old... I've been in Ningzhou for a long time and often go into the water to practice. Alas, let's not talk about it anymore. Your Highness, why do you ask this?"
"I heard the students say that you know your destiny at sixty, and then you can do whatever you want, so I want to know."
While the two were chatting, Cui Yan had already walked out of the school grounds, came to their side, and called him Master. Hu'er quickly stood up and stood next to Cui Yan. Cui Yan touched Hu'er's head happily. , then looked at Taishi Ci, and he said: "Thank you, General Taishi, for helping me take care of Hu'er."
Taishi Ci smiled and shook his head and said: "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Cui, but... there is one thing I want to remind you. This is a place for military science. Without the emperor's edict, the prince cannot come here...",
When Taishi Ci said this, Cui Yan seemed to have remembered something, and said: "It doesn't matter, Hu'er is still young, it doesn't matter, he can even go to the Nanjun Military Academy."
"Okay, but Mr. Cui had better tell your Majesty... Of course, I like His Highness for being so well-behaved. Mr. Cui can bring him here more often in the future. He will also have a lot of fun playing here."
"Yes! Master! I had a great time!" Hu'er shouted, Cui Yan nodded, and then led Hu'er out of the military academy.
Along the way, Hu'er talked enthusiastically about what he had learned today. The master and apprentice chatted. Cui Yan sent him to the abbot's house. After watching the servants pick him up, Cui Yan was ready.
Return to Taixue.
During these days, Cui Yan was very busy, dealing with Taixue affairs, military affairs, and most importantly, the upcoming great debate. The so-called great debate had long existed in Taixue.
Before Emperor Xiaokang, the imperial students often got together to debate the Confucian classics, and occasionally got into fights and got into trouble.
During the period of Emperor Xiaokang, in order to avoid the recurrence of fights among Taixue students, Emperor Xiaokang simply set up a debate platform in Taixue, named Jianningyu Battle Platform. From then on, students would gather here every April.
, held a debate, with officials supervising the debate and deciding the outcome, and there were soldiers surrounding it to maintain order.
This avoids private debates and fights among Tai students, because except for the chat stage, other gathering debates are illegal. From the initial student debates to now, it has developed to include many Confucian debates, wine sacrifices, etc.
Debates, debates between Taixue, and debates between major universities are large-scale activities. For three consecutive days, Taixue opened its doors, and great scholars, students, and scholars from all walks of life came in, visited or participated.
These three days are also the busiest three days in Taixue, even more lively than the entrance of new students.
Recently, after the Gongyang incident, as expected, this debate will become a battle between Gongyang and many other schools of thought. Cui Yan knows very well that the Gongyang students are making trouble in Luoyang.
With such a commotion, those great scholars who devoted themselves to cultivation would definitely not be able to sit still. With Hu'er's incident, they would definitely come to try to defeat themselves and prove that they could not serve as the prince's teacher.
But here at Gongyang School, most of them are young people. Their abilities are good, but their reputations are not enough to argue with those great scholars. The only one who is qualified to deal with them is Cui Yan.
Perhaps this is the sorrow of Gongyang. Since the traitor Wang Mang, Gongyang's status has plummeted, and it once became a school that everyone shouted at. If He Zi hadn't taught an eternal wise king, I'm afraid He Zi would have become Gong Yang.
He was the last great scholar of Yang School. After He Zi, there was Yuan Zi. After Yuan Zi, there was Cui Yan. Cui Yan governed Gong Yang, and he ruled the sect of He Zi. He was also a disciple of He Zi.
In the future, there will be Fazheng, Zhou Yu, and in the future, Cao Chong, who will win all four subjects. This makes Cui Yan feel better. He often thinks about how desperate He Zi must have been at that time.
The first Gongyang Great Confucian, the only Gongyang Great Confucian in the world, and maybe the last Gongyang Great Confucian. It is unknown how sad and sad He Zi was back then.
But Cui Yan can feel the difficulty of being alone. It is not an easy task for him to face all the Confucian scholars in the world. He firmly believes that Gongyang is the only way for the Han Dynasty, and he is not afraid. Although he was challenged by other schools of thought, he was still worried that he would lose the right to teach the emperor's eldest son. If he failed in the debate and his reputation was ruined, how could he continue to teach the prince shamelessly?
But if he didn't teach the prince, wouldn't the future emperor of Han be on the wrong track?
Those who rule the ram should guide the prince to the right path.
Cui Yan narrowed his eyes and walked slowly on the street. He must think of a way to win. Fortunately, he still has a big killer here. When the time comes, he will argue with them one by one. When encountering difficulties, The opponent directly threw the emperor's eldest son out and into the opponent's arms, letting the emperor's eldest son pull his beard so that he could not argue with him. Well, this is a good idea.
Although the surrounding soldiers wanted to maintain order, what could they do in the face of the eldest son of the Han Emperor?
As for those great scholars, it is their honor if the eldest son of the emperor pulls their beards. If they dare to rebuke them, by the way, it is best to invite the abbot of the country to come over and watch the battle on the sidelines, lest anyone disrespect the eldest son of the emperor.
It was getting dark, and Cui Yan also rushed to the vicinity of Taixue.
As soon as he reached the vicinity of Taixue, he saw a blurry black figure beside the courtyard wall. In this night, Cui Yan couldn't see clearly. He squinted his eyes, looked at it carefully for a moment, and hurriedly walked up He went forward and got closer, and then he asked: "The head of the state?"
The black figure leaned against the wall with his head lowered. When he heard the sound, he quickly raised his head, stood up quickly, and walked in front of Cui Yan. Sure enough, the person in front of him was Lu Bu, the head of the country. When Cui Yan thought about it, he Yeah, when I took Hu'er to the military academy today, I didn't see Lu Bu. The emperor didn't know that he took Hu'er to the military academy, so he kept waiting here for us to come out??
Lu Bu looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Where is Hu'er?"
"Hey, I forgot to tell the emperor that I took Hu'er to the military academy today and just sent him back to the house. I'm sorry..." Cui Yan said. Lu Bu smiled nonchalantly and said : "Blame me, blame me. I went back to the mansion a few days ago and got some food. You probably left at that time. It's okay, it's okay. He is at home? Then I went back and said goodbye! "
As Lu Bu said this, he was about to leave. Cui Yan quickly stopped him and said, "I have one more thing to discuss with the father-in-law."
"oh?"
"The first thing is my private matter. After a while, it will be time for the Taixue Battle Arena to begin. I will take your Highness to participate. I am afraid that someone will be disrespectful to the eldest son of the Emperor. Lu Guozhang Maybe watching from the sidelines?"
"Hahaha, it's easy to talk, easy to talk. I'm also good at debating. Let me know when the time comes and I will definitely come!"
"That's good. As for the second thing, Zhang Guozhang, you are quite old. You can't come to Taixue every day and wait. Hu'er has grown up gradually, not to mention having me escort you. There won't be any problem. It's not good for His Highness to be so pampered by the abbot. It's also not good for the abbot. It's humid here and he sits here waiting every day. If something happens to the abbot again, what should Hu'er do? ?”
"Hey, don't mention this matter again. Haha, even if my body collapses with your wall, nothing will happen to me!" Lu Bu waved his hand, turned around and left, and Cui Yan let out a long sigh.
, shook his head and said nothing.
Lu Bu walked slowly to his mansion with his hands behind his back.
Outside the gate, Hu'er held his chin in his hands, sat on the threshold, pouted, and waited angrily.
Two servants, holding lanterns, stood on both sides.
Seeing Lu Bu coming towards him, Hu'er was happy at first, then thought of something, turned away and snorted coldly.
Lu Bu looked at him with a smile, and slowly took out two cold pancakes from his sleeves.
"My fault, my fault, for not picking up my tiger... Look, I even brought your favorite food."
