Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 367 Returning to Ashes
How could someone have that look towards Yan Yanzhi?
Xie Lingyun couldn't talk about taste, but it was a little strange.

In the past, when I went out with Yan Yanzhi, the focus was basically on myself, why is Chao Shangzhi so interested in Yan Yanzhi now?

"You two, this is not a place to talk, why don't you go to my room and have a talk?"

You... room?

Xie Lingyun looked at Chao Shangzhi even more strangely.

But when he got to the room where Chao Shang was staying, he realized that he had wrongly blamed Chao Shangzhi.

This is not a private mansion, but a guest house with a single function.

"Shopkeeper, serve a jug of wine and a few more dishes. Today I want to entertain distinguished guests!"

Chao Shangzhi was a rare "luxury" for a while. In the past, when he came back, he only needed a bowl of wheat rice and a bowl of clear fruit for his stomach. Although he had ten thousand taels of gold, it was rare to see him squander once.It is true that wealth cannot be replaced by silver.

"Yu often heard the name "Yan Xie" when he was studying in Lu County, and seeing him today is really extraordinary."

When Xie Lingyun heard that Chao Shangzhi was so knowledgeable, his doubts weakened a bit.

Xie Lingyun had heard this kind of scene a lot, but when it came out of Chao Shangzhi's mouth, it felt different.

After all, Chao Shangzhi is the champion of the new discipline, and the imperial court certified him as "No. [-] in the world", so what he said is quite useful.

Xie Lingyun smiled and drank a glass of wine and said: "Looking at the expression of Zhuangyuan Lang just now, he seems to be a noble person. It's unbelievable that he can speak like this."

If ordinary people say this, it may be taken as a challenge, but everyone knows Xie Lingyun's flair, so they don't care much.

Chao Shangzhi shook his head: "People can't just live in books in this life. If everyone is like the saint who is indifferent to fame and wealth in the book, there is no need for someone like Chao Mou."

"You are...interesting!"

Xie Lingyun also did not hesitate to praise himself.

"I thought that the scholar who won the laurel crown must be a pedantic person who is good at reading and writing beautiful articles. I didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful person as you among the humble scholars."

In a few words, Xie Lingyun knew why Chao Shangzhi was favored by the emperor.

Not dying to study, but not allowing yourself to be wronged, is the material for an official.

Still a good officer.

Xie Lingyun has long since given up the idea of ​​being an official after going around in circles in the past few years.

He is not suitable!

Not even his cousin Xie Hui was suitable.

They thanked the family, whether it was Xie An, Xie Xuan, Xie Daoyun, Xie Hui, or him Xie Lingyun.

The men, women, children, children and grandchildren of the Xie family should go and see the breeze, the bright moon, the river, and the mountains and rivers.

The Xie family members who were trapped in the court hall... are very wronged!
"only……"

Xie Lingyun looked at Chao Shangzhi suspiciously.

He could also see that he and Chao Shangzhi were completely different people, why did the emperor come to meet him himself?
Looking carefully at Chao Shangzhi, Xie Lingyun discovered that Chao Shangzhi's eyes were staring directly at Yan Yanzhi.

Yan Yanzhi was a little panicked by the other party's scorching gaze, so he turned his gaze to Xie Lingyun again, hoping that his old friend would come to his rescue.

But Xie Lingyun was fascinated by Chao Shangzhi's gaze, how could he care about Yan Yanzhi's eyes?

then.

a round table.

Three big men.

You look at me, I look at him, and he looks at you.

It became a very stable triangle...

"Cough cough."

Yan Yanzhi couldn't take it anymore and started to save himself.

"Zhuangyuan Lang, when Lingyun and I went to find you just now, we found that you were teaching those people to enlightenment..."

"You are the number one scholar, why do you need to do such thankless things?"

Chao Shangzhi also seemed to be aware of his gaffe, and looked away resentfully.

But he was a little strange about Yan Yanzhi's question: "Brother Yannian, I don't know why I did this?"

Yan Yanzhi: "???"

why should i know

I don't know is it weird?

Wouldn't it be reasonable if I knew?

I saw Chao Shangzhi said righteously: "The reason I help those people to enlighten is naturally so that they can seek more knowledge, study, and seek official positions!"

Chao Shangzhi was not at all embarrassed about the final request for an official.

"I was once summoned by the emperor to the Hall of Liangyi to offer advice to His Majesty. I beg His Majesty to reuse the humble scholars..."

Speaking of this, Chao Shangzhi looked up at the two people opposite him, and found that there was not much abnormality on their faces.

Yan Yanzhi himself came from a poor family.

Although Xie Lingyun came from the Xie family in Chenjun, he is not interested in the affairs of the court at all, so those grievances and grievances will naturally not provoke him.

"However, Your Majesty asked me, among the poor families in this world, how many people can read? How many people know the law? If the people of a county or even a state are handed over to these people, can the people really live a good life?"

"Therefore, His Majesty appointed me as the envoy of the school inspector, and asked me to go outside first, teach the people of the world to read and write, and then teach them how to govern. Only in this way can they become officials of poor families!"

"..."

Xie Lingyun looked at Chao Shangzhi again, his eyes changed.

madman!

Totally crazy!
This person actually wants to rely on himself to let the poor families in the world give birth to their own "officials."

This is no longer declaring war on the family, but touching the family's warehouse to burn food!
Before Xie Lingyun could organize his words, he saw Chao Shangyi grabbed Yan Yanzhi's hand, which made Xie Lingyun frowned.

"I know that I can't accomplish such a great cause with my own strength alone."

"fine……"

Chao Shangzhi looked at Yan Yanzhi "with affection": "In the past few days, I have checked the classics and previous court documents, and found that Brother Yannian had established Donglin Academy in Jiankang early on! He taught the world to read! It turns out that Brother Yannian He is the pioneer in this world!"

Yan Yanzhi: "???"

no……

Only now did Yan Yanzhi know why Chao Shangzhi looked at him with such weird eyes.

The feeling is to regard one's own "Donglin Academy" as a place for teaching and educating people.

He wanted to tell Chao Shangzhi that "Donglin Academy" was completely different from the academy Chao Shangzhi imagined.

Even the "Academy" organized by the aristocratic families in various states and counties is a bit less qualified than my "Donglin Academy".

Yan Yanzhi was a little ashamed: "I am ashamed too!"

"Then Donglin Academy..."

"That's right!"

Just when Yan Yanzhi was about to explain, Xie Lingyun suddenly took the words, and then looked at Yan Yanzhi with a regretful expression: "Donglin Academy was running well, but it accidentally leaked water and burned it all down."

Afterwards, Xie Lingyun also boasted: "Donglin Academy at that time had thousands of scholars, and the sound of reading could be heard ten miles away! The grand occasion in the past was far from what the Imperial College can match today! It's a pity, a pity."

Yan Yanzhi's eyes became a little moist.

He understood what Xie Lingyun meant.

Donglin Academy, let it be reduced to ashes with Jiankang's fire.

Similarly, the previous Yan Yanzhi also turned into ashes.

No matter what kind of filth lies behind it, both Yan Yanzhi and Xie Lingyun believe that the Donglin Academy they once stayed in——

It is the Donglin Academy that dares to be the first in the world in Chao Shangzhi's eyes!
