Cao Shaoqin stepped forward and took the brocade box. Fang Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and together with other Shaolin monks, watched Chu Yi and others go down the mountain.
Originally, Fang Zheng was planning to send Chu Yi and others down the mountain in person, but Chu Yi refused.
Seeing Chu Yi and his party walking away, the leader of the Prajna Hall said to Fang Zheng: "Abbott, that Great Return Pill is one of the few remaining in Shaolin. It is extremely precious, why should we give it away?"
To a eunuch!"
Fang Zheng glanced at the head of the Prajna Hall and several other Shaolin senior officials, and heard Fang Zheng slowly say: "Do you also think that the poor monk should not give the Great Return Pill to Chu Yi?"
The Great Return Pill is so precious that even the core Shaolin executives present are not qualified to take it. Now that Fang Zheng has indeed gifted it to Chu Yi, it would be strange if they have no objection in their hearts.
Sighing slightly, Fang Zheng looked at a few people and explained: "You know, if we don't offer the Great Return Pill to satisfy Governor Chu, we in Shaolin may suffer a disaster..."
The leader of the Arhat Hall shouted angrily: "How dare he! How dare a mere eunuch bully my Shaolin!"
Fang Zheng shouted: "You know, not long ago, the governor of Dongchang targeted our Shaolin monks. If he goes back this time and adds a few bad words in front of the emperor, our Shaolin may have to go on a rampage."
Reducing the number of monks, tell me, which one is more important, our Shaolin’s future, or a mere Great Return Pill!"
These words were like a basin of ice water being poured on his head in the dead of winter, immediately shutting up the aggrieved Shaolin executives.
As Fang Zheng said, Da Huan Dan is really nothing compared to the future of Shaolin.
On the rugged mountain road, the magistrate of Dengfeng was following Chu Yi with a flattering face and said to Chu Yi: "Master, I feel that the governor came to Dengfeng this time. Apart from this Shaolin Temple,
There is still one more place to visit.”
Hearing what the Dengfeng magistrate said, Chu Yi couldn't help but look at him.
The magistrate of Dengfeng endured the excitement in his heart. Who didn't know that the general manager Liu Jin was in power today, and even the common people knew about the Ming Dynasty who established the emperor, let alone a person in the official circles of the magistrate of Dengfeng.
However, the magistrate of Dengfeng was just a seventh-rank sesame official, and the information he could obtain from the court was limited, so it was not clear that Chu Yi and Liu Jin, the most powerful person today, were not on the same side, or even rivals.
In the eyes of the Dengfeng magistrate, Chu Yi is the governor of the East Factory. According to historical practice, the governor of the East Factory is either the director of the ceremony and the director of rituals, or he is in charge of his confidant. Therefore, in the eyes of the Dengfeng magistrate, Chu Yi is Liu Jin.
confidant.
As long as Chu Yi is ingratiated with him, if Chu Yi can say a few nice words to Liu Jin in front of him, it will be no problem for him to achieve success in the future.
Cao Shaoqin snorted coldly at this moment and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Lord Governor doesn't have time to waste time here with you!"
Stared by Cao Shaoqin's cold eyes, the magistrate of Dengfeng couldn't help but shudder and said reflexively: "Songyang Academy, it's Songyang Academy!"
The magistrate of Dengfeng, who looked like he was breathing a sigh of relief, said: "Songyang Academy, your Lord Governor, should not miss it. There are many books in it, and there must be some unique ones that you like. It's a pity that I can't control that academy, otherwise it would be a disaster."
I have found many classics for you."
Cao Shaoqin glanced at the magistrate of Dengfeng and said: "Oh, it's just an academy. You are also the official of this place. How dare there be people in your territory who don't listen to your orders?"
Although the seventh-rank magistrate of Dengfeng County is not regarded by Cao Shaoqin, Cao Shaoqin also knows that for a county, the seventh-rank magistrate already has great power. There are really few people in the county who dare to compete with the magistrate.
Opposite.
Cao Shaoqin didn't know the reputation of Songyang Academy, so he doubted the words of the Dengfeng Magistrate. However, Chu Yi knew that the Dengfeng Magistrate was not lying, but that the Songyang Academy really had enough confidence to bring down the parents of a county.
Shut out.
There are four major academies in China. It can be said that there are many academies in history. However, the ones that are famous all over the world and are known and recognized by most people as the four major academies are Yingtian Academy, Yuelu Academy, Bailudong Academy, and Songyang Academy.
.
Of course, these four major academies are controversial. For example, the reputation of Shigu Academy is not necessarily bad.
Songyang Academy was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was originally called Songyang Temple. In the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to Songyang Temple. In the Song Dynasty, it was changed to Songyang Academy. At its peak, there were Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao, and Yang Shi.
, Zhu Xi, Li Gang and other great Confucian scholars at that time gave lectures here.
The famous "Zizhi Tongjian" Volumes 9 to 21 were written by Sima Guang in Songyang Academy, and brothers Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao taught here for more than ten years. It can be said to be the birthplace of Confucianism.
One of them was one of the most influential academies at that time.
To be honest, Chu Yi was quite interested in Songyang Academy. Even though there were many people who devalued the Confucian school of Neo-Confucianism in later generations, there were reasons why this school could spread all over the world, be valued by the emperor, and be praised by many literati and officials.
It would be fine if this was just an ordinary world, but it is obvious that there is a method of cultivation in this world. Even Wang Yangming has an unfathomable cultivation level. Chu Yi did not believe it and founded the Luo School of Confucianism.
Figures such as Er Cheng and Zhu Xi, the master of Neo-Confucianism, whose names have been passed down through the ages, will be powerless people.
Huang Shang read the Taoist canon thoroughly and created his own Nine Yin Scriptures. Wang Yangming collected the great achievements of Lu Wang's Xinxue and practiced Qi in the army. A long roar spread throughout the three armies. The achievements of figures like Er Cheng and Zhu Xi may not be much less than Wang Yangming, so Chu Yi is very
I'm just curious as to whether these people have any inheritance left behind.
Songyang Academy is the birthplace of Ercheng Luo School and the birthplace of Neo-Confucianism. It has a large collection of books. It's okay if you don't know about it. Now that you know it, even Chu Yi himself wouldn't be willing to go through it if he didn't try it.
Chu Fang saw Chu Yi's expression of emotion. As Chu Yi's confidant, Chu Fang naturally understood what Chu Yi meant. He glanced at the Dengfeng Magistrate and said sharply: "Wang Magistrate, please lead the way."
The magistrate of Dengfeng was overjoyed when he heard this. He waved his hand to the government officials and said, "The governor is going to Songyang Academy. Please cheer me up."
Songyang Academy is located at the foot of Songshan Mountain. After walking for half an hour, when the sky was getting dark, in a valley ahead, an academy appeared in everyone's sight.
The ancient, simple academy with a somewhat heavy and scholarly atmosphere is hidden among the trees, and the faint sound of reading can be heard.
I have to say that the location of Songshan Academy is really beautiful, quiet and elegant. With this kind of environment, coupled with this extremely elegant academy, it is no wonder that so many great scholars are willing to live here to give lectures. Not to mention other things.
Just living here is a pleasure.
In front of the tall academy gate, there is a plaque with the four characters "Songyang Academy" written on it. It is so powerful that you can tell at a glance that it was written by a famous scholar.
When Chu Yi and his party stopped in front of the academy, there was a lot of commotion, which had already alarmed Xuezheng and the students in the academy.
The role of the judge of Songyang Academy is not something that ordinary people can do. Now the person in charge of Songyang Academy is a great scholar of the dynasty, Chen Qi.
He can communicate with the chief minister and assistant ministers of the cabinet, and he can communicate with all officials below him. He is by no means an ordinary person.
Under the court's judgment, there were more than a dozen academics. Now one academic was standing in front of the gate of the college. When his eyes fell on Chu Yi and his party, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. However, Chu Yi and the others were still looking like they had gone there before.
What about the imperial guard of honor from the Shaolin Temple?
