For the entire Daxia Kyoto, some small things happened in these seven days.
The Xandeng Division suppressed the rumors among the people and arrested many people, but they did not punish them severely and only gave verbal warnings.
It can also be considered as an effective way to stop the spread of rumors.
At the same time, some other rumors were also spread.
This time, the Dean of Daxia Academy was not appointed by the Minister of Rites. It is said that the Minister of Rites protected his granddaughter and deliberately framed Gu Jinnian, the grandson of Gu's parents.
As a result, he lost his literary character, was impeached and demoted, and lost his position as the dean of Daxia Academy.
This kind of gossip was originally nothing, but with the addition of Daxia Academy, it suddenly had a different meaning.
For a while, it also aroused heated discussions among the crowd.
After all, Gu Jinnian's affairs were not allowed to be discussed, so there had to be a topic.
However, these are matters of people's livelihood.
Currently, the most concerning thing in Daxia Kyoto is Daxia Academy, which is about to start school.
In Kyoto, many new faces have also arrived one after another during this period.
It's much more lively than before.
At this moment.
In Daxia Academy.
A carriage also slowly appeared in the academy.
Daxia Academy is located in the western suburbs of Kyoto in Daxia. The entire academy covers an area of 3,500 acres, with thirty-six main halls dedicated to Confucian and Taoist sages, and countless courtyards, with beautiful buildings, green tiles, and red roofs criss-crossing them.
.
This is Daxia Academy.
There are hundreds of student residences alone, making it the highest university in Daxia.
With the arrival of the carriage.
Hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the academy, appearing extremely respectful.
Among these people, there is no shortage of great Confucians.
But he still seemed respectful.
Because the person on the carriage was one of the representatives of Daxia Confucianism and Taoism, Su Wenjing.
Call.
As a voice sounded.
The carriage stopped.
Then, an old man in plain clothes slowly got out of the carriage.
The old man has white hair, but he is full of energy, has a kind face, and his eyes are clear without any turbidity.
What's more important is that there is an aura surrounding the old man, which is the righteousness of Confucianism and Taoism.
The two colors of blue and white can only be seen by great scholars.
"I'll pay my respects to the Half-Saint."
The next moment, hundreds of people bent down and bowed to the old man to show their respect. They called him a semi-holy man.
"You guys are serious."
"You're welcome."
Su Wenjing stepped out of the carriage, looked at the worship of everyone, and couldn't help but return the salute to everyone, without any pretense.
"You are a great talent. Although you are not a semi-saint, you are only half a step away from being a semi-saint. We respect you and call him a semi-saint."
"Yeah yeah."
"Half Saint Wenjing came to Daxia Academy in person, and it was full of glory."
Everyone spoke again, all with respectful and courteous faces.
The man in front of me is a representative of contemporary Confucianism and Taoism.
Now that he was invited by His Majesty, his status was so high that they did not dare to be presumptuous.
"Sir, please come with me."
At this time, Zhang Yunhai's figure appeared. With a respectful look on his face, he invited Su Wenjing to enter the inner hall of the academy.
The latter nodded, with a gentle expression, and walked towards the hall.
Soon, about a quarter of an hour later.
Everyone came to the inner hall.
Without waiting for Su Wenjing to say anything, he was placed in the upper seat, and the others also found their seats and sat down.
"Mr. Wenjing, the journey has been tiring, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Yunhai spoke out, he came today on behalf of Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites.
“It’s not hard work as the scenery accompanies you all the way.”
Su Wenjing smiled slightly.
He was sitting at the head of the main hall.
Although he didn't show any sharpness and even looked kind-hearted, the awe-inspiring righteousness he exuded made everyone present fearful.
This power is terrifying, it is holy will.
Although Su Wenjing has not completely become a semi-saint, he is almost there, otherwise he would not be able to generate such a terrifying aura.
When everyone sat down, the sound started to sound.
"Mr. Wenjing."
"I never thought that one day His Majesty would be able to invite you to take charge of Daxia Academy."
"I am overjoyed. With Mr. Wenjing here, Daxia Academy will be able to reach a higher level."
"But sir, this is your first time here. There are many courtyards in the academy and there are many people there. If you don't understand something, just ask and we will arrange everything properly."
It was Zhang Yunhai who spoke.
As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly smiled.
Because these words contain another meaning.
Just open your mouth and arrange everything properly. The subtext is that since you are highly respected and invited by His Majesty, we can't say anything. It's just that Daxia Academy has many people and places, and it is too complicated. You have to teach me.
There's nothing wrong with the class. For other things, we can do it.
If you ask us to do something, if we can do it, we will do it. If we can't do it, I believe you will understand us.
On the first seat.
After hearing this, Su Wenjing's expression did not change at all.
Just look at everyone.
But that's it.
In an instant, an invisible force spread into the hall, and everyone felt a terrible pressure.
This kind of pressure is soul-shaking.
In an instant, everyone was speechless.
They understood that they were a little ridiculous just now.
The person in front of me is an existence that is infinitely close to a semi-saint. He is also a representative of Confucianism and Taoism. He is also a big shot invited by His Majesty.
How dare you bargain with such a person?
Are you really not afraid of death?
"Of course, everything still depends on Mr.'s wishes."
"Sir's wisdom is beyond our reach. I think it will only take a few days for you to know everything."
Zhang Yunhai quickly spoke up and changed what he just said.
"Your words hold true."
"As long as we can teach students well, everything is better."
Su Wenjing smiled calmly, and then the pressure disappeared instantly.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a pamphlet from his sleeve and slowly placed it on the table.
"I have been retired for fourteen years and have learned a lot about teaching."
"Your Majesty invites me to come here this time, so that you can put these insights into practice and see if you can create some talents for me in Daxia."
"Throughout the founding of Daxia until now, the three sages all respect our generation of scholars."
"We even allocate funds year after year to open academies and train students."
"However, in recent years, I accidentally discovered that seven out of ten people in the world are reading dead books."
"Fourteen years of thinking gave me a sudden enlightenment, so I wrote this article to promote the new learning based on Daxia Academy."
Su Wenjing spoke up.
He expressed his thoughts.
But as soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked horrified.
Did they not expect that Su Wenjing came not only to teach, but also to promote new learning?
This is no small matter.
"May I ask, sir, what is new learning?"
Zhang Yunhai asked.
"Morality comes first, then study comes later."
"It varies from person to person, and there is no difference in teaching."
Su Wenjing spoke calmly, and then continued to speak.
"Academies all over the world teach people to read. In my opinion, it's just rote memorization."
"If you don't have virtue, how can you understand the truth in the book?"
"Furthermore, as scholars of our generation, we should not judge the level of one by just poems and articles. We should let a hundred flowers bloom, each with its own merits."
"This time Daxia Academy's admissions will no longer be selected according to the previous rules."
"We should adopt new learning. Anyone who enters the academy must be virtuous. Those without virtue will not be admitted."
"We will then open schools for music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Tiangong geography, people's livelihood and agriculture, etc., with poetry and articles ranked second, and the teaching will be organized without distinction."
"In other words, anyone with special abilities can enter Daxia Academy, regardless of gender, regardless of occupation."
Su Wenjing talks about his new learning.
At this moment, everyone present could not sit still at all.
At first I thought it was nothing, but now I think it's a huge problem.
Education without distinction?
Music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Tiangong geography, people's livelihood agriculture, are these also accepted?
What's more important is that this, regardless of gender or occupation, challenges their bottom line and interests.
Where is Daxia Academy?
The highest university in Daxia.
Anyone who can study here is a good candidate for reading, but where do these scholars come from?
It's nothing more than a member of a noble family or a noble son from a poor family.
However, even if you are a noble son from a poor family, there is more or less a shadow of aristocratic family behind him, and without the support of aristocratic family, if you want to study all the way, millions of scholars will not be able to find one.
In other words, according to normal operations, the students of Daxia Academy are basically their people.
Maybe not directly, but someone is a friend, a colleague, or a descendant of the family behind him.
This creates a huge network of relationships and power.
Looking at ancient and modern times, there is no immortal dynasty? But there are long-lasting aristocratic families.
The main sources of these aristocratic families are major academies, up to the highest institution of learning such as Daxia Academy.
Now Su Wenjing's words made them realize that there was trouble coming.
There is no distinction between education and distinction.
There are all kinds of study courses, and they don't care about anything.
But not focusing on poetry and articles means that the right of selection is directly deprived of. When the time comes, a group of truly poor children will be supported, which will be a new force.
After entering the imperial court in the future, this power will pose a threat to them.
But that's not what makes them so perverted.
The real reason is, who invited Su Wenjing?
I was invited here on a pilgrimage.
Does this mean that His Majesty intends to support a group of new forces that have nothing to do with the aristocratic family in order to suppress them?
They don't know.
Not sure either.
But whether it is or not.
They cannot agree to this matter.
"gentlemen."
"The theory of new learning is indeed good. There is no distinction between education and distinction. It is really unheard of. It really makes us admire it."
"However, we still need to discuss this matter with Mr. Yang. After all, in about ten days, Daxia Academy enrollment will begin."
"If there is a temporary change, I'm afraid it might be a bit troublesome."
Zhang Yunhai spoke.
He definitely couldn't agree to this matter, but he didn't refuse, let alone challenge a quasi-half-saint.
You can only use this euphemistic way.
However, once he said this, he did not wait for others to agree.
Su Wenjing's voice couldn't help but echo.
"Yang Kai?"
"I haven't seen him for decades. I vaguely remember that when I was in charge of Tianlu College, Yang Kai was considered my student."
"Now it seems that he has become the Minister of Rites of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is really majestic."
"Dare to discuss with me how to teach."
"It looks like he's really promising."
"You're not bad, but I'm dying."
Su Wenjing said calmly.
In an instant.
Everyone stood up quickly and bowed to Su Wenjing.
"Sir, your words are serious."
"We have no intention of doing so."
Everyone bowed quickly, how dare they accept it.
None of them dared to speak too much.
"Okay."
"No need to ask Yang Kai."
"It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not."
"I am stubborn by nature. Once I have made a decision, I will not change it."
"As for the opening of school, don't worry. I've already prepared it. Just issue it according to the announcement."
Su Wenjing said calmly.
His tone leaves no room for doubt and does not allow anyone to violate it.
Looking at Su Wenjing's seriousness.
Everyone fully understood that the person in front of them was going to do something big.
However, just when someone was about to say something.
