Chapter 7 The first batch of reincarnators arrives
“What should Confucians do?”
"Those who set their minds for heaven and earth are Confucian!"
"Heaven and earth have no heart. Those who teach the holy way and are Confucian have a big heart and understand the things in the world. Their own heart can be in harmony with the heart of heaven!"
"Those who set up their lives for the sake of the people are Confucian!"
"The people are our compatriots, and the things we share are with you. We keep them in mind. This is the only great thing!"
"To inherit the saints and inherit the scholars as Confucian scholars!"
"Han Confucianism worshiped chapters and sentences, while Tang Confucianism indulged in Buddhism and Laoism, and indulged in heretics. How can this be done? We should pass on the learning of the saints and inherit the Confucian tradition!"
…
Zhang Zai was of medium stature and had an ordinary appearance, but when he stood above him and explained the road, his few words were so inspiring that Huang Shang, who was sitting on the futon, felt sincere admiration.
As modern people, we are often biased against ancient scholars.
It is useless to be a scholar. In many cases, the literati will only hold back the country. On the contrary, it is the military commanders who protect the family and the country and expand the territory, which makes people more enthusiastic and yearning.
But when Huang Shang actually came to Zhang Zai's sect and listened to his lectures, he understood what it meant to be a scholar, how he criticized Fang Qiu's heroic spirit, and what it meant to have the world in mind and carry forward the past and open up the future!
For the first time, Huang Shang felt that he studied not for fame and fortune, but for lofty pursuits and responsibilities.
This is the great Confucian.
It is indeed worthwhile to reject Sima Guang and become a disciple of Zhang Zai.
The current Song Dynasty can be described as a gathering of heroes.
If you look around, there are so many great people in Chinese textbooks who make people recite the entire text.
Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Shi, Su Che, Su Xun, Cheng Yi, Zeng Gong...
As for famous literary figures, there are even more.
Based on his current status in the court, Sima Guang is undoubtedly much stronger than Zhang Zai. Even Zhang Zai has not been reused much in his life. Sima Guang is a veteran of the four dynasties. If he joins his disciples, he will undoubtedly get more help in the court.
many.
But Huang Shang still implemented the original plan and became a disciple of Zhang Zai.
In just half a month, he felt that he had made good progress and felt like a top student.
When you can't learn anything, learning is painful. When you can quickly understand what the teacher says and become the best in the class, it becomes I love learning and learning loves me.
At this time, when Zhang Zai looked at him, Huang Shang stood up and continued: "Assist the king at the top, keep the people safe at the bottom, subjugate the barbarians and Di, pacify the thieves and bandits at home, and create the foundation of eternal peace. Who but a Confucian can do these things?"
?”
The sonorous and powerful voice was full of excitement and inspirational power, attracting everyone in the hall to look at him. Zhang Zai's eyes showed unabashed admiration: "Okay! Good! Good!"
Students choose their teachers, and teachers choose their students.
At this point in the development of Confucianism, it has been divided into many factions. Only by educating good students can one be successful.
Zhang Zai now has many proud disciples, but Huang Shang's talent and learning are still top-notch, so he is naturally valued.
After the lecture, Zhang Zai answered each disciple's doubts before Shi Shiran left.
As soon as the teacher left, the students in the hall rushed around, and in the center was Huang Shang.
Zhang Zai encouraged his disciples to have a "big heart", not to brag arrogantly, but to set reasonable goals.
Therefore, when Huang Shang said these four guidelines and "unintentionally" fit their pursuit, he naturally became a confidant.
For a time, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
These are all classmates who will help each other in the future. Huang Shang chatted and laughed with them.
Of course, classmates also have close relationships. When Huang Shang walked out of the school, only two friends were left with him.
One is You Shixiong, and the other is very young, only eleven or twelve years old, but he is a mature young man named Zhong Shidao.
Among the famous generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, he is much more famous than You Shixiong. He fought against Xixia, went to Liao Kingdom, and resisted the invasion of Jin Kingdom.
Let's put it this way, if you don't die as a teacher, you won't have the shame of Jingkang.
And Zhongshi Dao is not an exception, he comes from the Zhong family.
When it comes to the generals of the Yang family in the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone knows about them, but very few know about the generals of the Zhong family.
But in history, the real family of famous generals in the Northern Song Dynasty was the generals of the Zhong family. Three generations of ancestors and grandsons repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and guarded the Northern Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. Their contributions were much greater than those of the generals of the Yang family.
So history and legend are sometimes really quite different.
As he became a classmate with this famous general in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Huang Shang tolerated the little brat pretending to be an adult and took them with him.
Before returning home, You Shixiong saw that the yard was very dilapidated and couldn't help but said: "Shengzhong, my brother has a house in East Yulin Lane..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Shang shook his head slightly: "Thank you Uncle Jing for your kindness. This place is enough for me to study."
You Shixiong couldn't help but stand in awe, while Zhong Shidao glanced at Huang Shang with a half-smiling expression.
Huang Shang glanced at the kid and saw that he was a good boy.
He will not move out of this shabby room until he gains fame.
It's not about being nostalgic or just showing off, it's about reducing trouble.
Now in Tokyo, his reputation as Huang Shang and Huang Shengzhong has gradually emerged.
While there are many literati who applaud the humble house with four sentences, there are also many literati who are jealous and gnashing their teeth in the dark.
Just like the two previous ones, Liu Yi and Chen Sheng.
When it comes to relationships, the relationship between Chen Sheng and Huang Shang is actually better, but as soon as those four sentences came out, Liu Yi turned to admiration. Now they often communicate with each other and ask for advice, but Chen Sheng has disappeared.
Human nature is like this. When you are in decline, one group of people will despise you, and another group of people will sympathize with you. When you become prosperous, those who originally despised you will turn to fawning over you, and those who used to sympathize and help you will become strangers to you, and even speak harshly to you.
It’s so sour! It’s so sour!
Huang Shang knew that as soon as he moved away, he would be labeled as having forgotten his roots, and many troubles would follow.
His thoughts were never on the insignificant plot characters, so why bother fighting with these people.
As long as you study hard here, your foundation is there, your talent is there, and there is a famous teacher Zhang Zai, you will be on the gold list.
He wants to become the number one pick as quickly as possible.
Until then, it will be real...
After ten years of hard work and no one asking, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop!
Just as he was preparing to fight steadily, Huang Shang's heart suddenly trembled.
The wild card, which had been quiet before, began to spin, and an image fell into his mind.
Nine holes were drilled into the barrier outside this world.
Those light spots waiting outside, like stars, swished downwards.
No more, no less, exactly nine.
"The first batch of reincarnations have come in!"
Huang Shang's face darkened.
This was beyond his expectation.
He originally thought that it would be his first time to lurk, and no matter what the heavens did, he would be able to buy himself a lot of time.
I didn’t expect it to be breached so quickly!
You must know that there is a difference in the passage of time inside and outside the world.
He has been in this world for more than a month, but if he were in the outside world, it would only be a matter of seconds.
"The time is too short. Now Huang Shang's reputation is only spread among literati."
"Unless there is a coincidence, reincarnation people will not pay attention."
"It's troublesome!"
When Huang Shang was in distress, there was a knock on the door, and the servant came in to report, with a sad look on his face: "Bao Shizhi has passed away."
You Shixiong and Zhong Shidao stood up suddenly.
Huang Shang stood up after them, but didn't react for a while.
