Chapter 15 The Drunken Fox

afternoon.

Tang Han arrived at Xi'an Fuxue with his official certificate and Li Yuanzheng's recommendation letter, and then entered the school smoothly, becoming a student of Xi'an Fuxue.

It is also Tang Han who won the No.1 Huayin County Tongsheng Examination this time, and his family has connections, so he was able to study in Xi'an Prefecture School all at once. Other Huayin County Tongsheng Examination students can only go to the state school, which seems to be government. College, there is no difference, but in fact, the difference is huge.

Xi'an Prefecture School is the highest institution in Xi'an Prefecture, and it is directly under the administration of the Chief Minister. Those who can teach in Xi'an Prefecture have a great reputation in Xi'an Prefecture, and even local officials such as the magistrate and governor of Xi'an Prefecture will come to Xi'an Fuxue lectures.Sometimes with good luck, a world-renowned Confucian would pass by Xi'an Prefecture and be invited to give lectures in Xi'an Prefecture.

It can be said that students who study in Xi'an Prefecture are born with great advantages. After all, the students who can enter Xi'an Prefecture are all top students in Xi'an Prefecture. These are huge contacts, and in such a school, It is also easy to have a reputation throughout Shaanxi.

That's why, only students who have passed the state-level children's examination are allowed to enter the Xi'an prefectural school.

What surprised Tang Han was that Shaanxi Chief Secretary School was located next door to Xi'an Fufu School. It can be said that the two are only separated by a river.

"Sir, I don't know how many books there are in Zangshu Pavilion?" Tang Han bowed and asked an old man.

This old man has white hair, is wearing a Confucian robe, has a ruddy complexion, a gentle breath, and behaves in accordance with etiquette.The old man chuckled, and said, "There are three thousand volumes in the Zangshu Pavilion, many of which are unique copies!"

Tang Han was secretly surprised when he heard this.

This Xi'an prefecture school has a collection of [-] volumes of books. Although it can't be compared with the hundreds of thousands of books and millions of books in the university in the previous life, it is very rare in this world. I am afraid that among the prefectures in Shaanxi, it belongs to the Xi'an prefecture. The government school has the largest collection of books.

Tang Han showed his student token to the old man for inspection, and was allowed to enter the library. Tang Han randomly took a volume of books, which was the "University" in the Four Books and Five Classics. Tang Han opened it and browsed it silently Tang Han discovered that this "University" was actually somewhat different from the "University" he read at Lushan Academy. Tang Han was slightly surprised, and couldn't help reading it slowly. "Have a deeper understanding.

"It's unbelievable that this volume of "University" is actually the only copy in the world, and it was copied by Cheng Hao, and there is also his understanding." Tang Han was secretly shocked.

Cheng Hao, courtesy name Bochun, known by scholars as Mr. Ming Dao, is the founder of Neo-Confucianism. He proposed that "the sky is the reason" and "only the heart is the sky, and the mind is the sky, and the understanding is the same", and he believes that "the benevolent is completely the same as the thing, and the righteous Courtesy, knowledge and trust are all benevolence", and to understand this principle, one must "preserve it with sincerity and respect".In Neo Confucianism, this person has many supporters, and his status is very high. Even after hundreds of years, the name of Great Confucianism is still passed down.

Although Neo Confucianism was criticized as useless in the previous life and considered to be the root of the world's thinking, but Neo Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years and has been endless, which shows its uniqueness.

Tang and Han did not have any criticisms of Neo Confucianism. As a philosophical thought, it naturally contains profound truths.

When Tang Han came to Xi'an Fu Academy, he was like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge, even when he was in class, he was never late.

At a poetry meeting, Tang Han's "Miscellaneous Poems" won him a lot of applause. It was that:

Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder.

I persuade Tiangong to be vigorous and to cast down talents in an eclectic manner.

Which scholar does not have the dream of "establishing a heart for the world, establishing a life for the people, inheriting the knowledge of the past, and bringing peace to all generations", and which scholar does not have the dream of "becoming a farmer and a man in the evening". Contains, in order not to be 'goods and emperor's home'.

Tang Han's "Miscellaneous Poems" spread quickly, and within a few months, the entire Shaanxi Province knew Tang Han's talent.

"Look, that is Tang Han who wrote "Miscellaneous Poems". Although he is only 15 years old, he is full of talent."

"If only I could write such excellent poems, that would be great!"

Tang Han was walking on the quiet path and heard two scholars talking about him. Tang Han just smiled and didn't care.

He practiced sword every morning, cheered up and practiced inner strength at night, and went to classes and library during the day. It was very fulfilling and there were not so many parties, but Tang Han was very satisfied with his current life.

It is said that talented scholars are romantic, and students talk about romance, but Tang Han thinks that is nothing more than self-willing and depraved.

Every time how many scholars fail the exam, they blame others, complain about the injustice of God, and complain that they are full of talents and the princes in the court are blind and do not recognize talents, but they never check whether they have gone all out or not. sorry?

In two months, there will be the annual state-level children's examination. These students gather every day to recite poems and have fun, lingering in romantic places, and they still don't fail the exam.

In his previous life, Tang Han was just a salted fish, muddling along, without any dreams. In the end, he was mediocre, like a walking corpse. He wanted to change his destiny, but unfortunately he was powerless in the face of reality.With the time and space beads, so that he can start a new life, Tang Han will naturally not waste his time.

Tang Han left Xi'an Fuxue, walked on the street, saw the bustle of people on the street, people coming and going, Tang Han couldn't help but secretly sighed, China was the top of the world in ancient times, it was not a lie, just The city of Xi'an is so bustling, it's hard to imagine how prosperous the world-famous capitals like Beijing and Nanjing should be.

"Huh?" Tang Han was stunned suddenly, and saw a man in front of him with drunken eyes, staggering steps and unsteady walking, it turned out to be Linghu Chong, the eldest brother.

Tang Han stepped forward, only to hear Linghu Chong yell: "Master has plenty of money, quickly bring me the best wine in the store."

But the strong men said angrily: "I don't even look at where my 'drunk guest house' is. Is it a place for you to run wild? You can eat my 'drunk guest house' even if you eat the overlord's meal. If you don't pay me today, don't even think about it." leave."

Linghu Chong fumbled from his bosom, took out dozens of coins, and threw them on the ground: "Young Master has plenty of money, hurry up and serve you good wine."

Tang Han shook his head slightly. Linghu Chong was good at wine. When he was in Huashan, he often sneaked into the kitchen and wine cellar to steal wine. For this reason, he was often lectured by Yue Buqun. However, Linghu Chong never repented. He turned into Bengali and went to a restaurant to drink.

This "drunken guest house" is well-known in Xi'an Prefecture. It is said that it has existed for more than 200 years. , I am afraid that after drinking a pot of wine, I only give a few dozen pennies, isn't it uncomfortable?

"Hit me, kill him!" A strong man shouted angrily.

Immediately, other strong men surrounded him, ready to beat Linghu Chong.

Tang Han hurriedly said: "Stop!"

"Boy, don't meddle in your own business. If this kid comes to my 'Zui Ke Ju' to eat the overlord's meal, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, how can I 'Zi Ke Ju' get a foothold in Xi'an." The strong man said.

"How much money is owed by my brother Linghu, I will pay for it!" Tang Han said.

Now that he met him, Tang Han naturally couldn't let him go. Although Linghu Chong was a second-rate master, but he was drunk and couldn't even stand firmly. Whether he could hit the opponent's vitals was still a problem.

"So you are brothers from the same school. Hey, this kid drank two pots of good wine and three dishes, and he had to pay a total of 3 taels of silver." The strong man said.

Tang Han secretly sighed in his heart, this Linghu Chong is really big-hearted, the Huashan faction is not rich, Linghu Chong dared to enter the "drunk guest house" kind of selling gold cave, he really didn't know how to live or die, if Yue Buqun found out, he would probably be stripped Skinned.

"Take it!" Tang Han took out three taels of silver from his arms and threw it over.

"Go!" The burly man waved his hand, and several other burly men followed back to the 'Drunken Guest House'.

At this time, Linghu Chong's eyes were dreamy, one of them couldn't stand still, and he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. Seeing Tang Han wryly smiled, he carried Linghu Chong to a nearby inn and opened a room to accommodate Linghu Chong.

"I don't know what the master sent the elder brother down the mountain for?" Tang Han looked at Linghu Chong who was sleeping soundly, and thought to himself.

During this year, he stayed quietly at the Xi'an government school, kept his ears to the ground, and only read the books of sages, and he didn't understand what happened in the world.

Although Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan sect, said he had recruited many disciples, he kept a low profile and rarely sent disciples down the mountain unless there was something wrong.

It's just that Linghu Chong is drunk and unconscious now, even if Tang Han wants to understand, he can't understand, he can only wait for Linghu Chong to wake up.

In the middle of the night, Linghu Chong woke up faintly. As soon as he woke up, he complained of a headache. Tang Han hurriedly poured Linghu Chong a glass of water for Linghu Chong to drink.

"Hey, Third Junior Brother, why are you here?" Linghu Chong drank the water, his head was a little clear, and he was surprised when he saw someone in the room and recognized Tang Han.

"Brother, my brother has been studying in Xi'an Prefecture for a year, and I just met my brother on the street today." Tang Han smiled slightly.

Linghu Chong is also a smart person. Although Tang Han didn't say it clearly, Linghu Chong also guessed that he was drunk and was bumped into by Tang Han, and then brought to the inn by Tang Han.

Linghu Chong was a little embarrassed, but he still thanked Tang Han.

"Brother, why did you go down to Mount Hua?" Tang Han asked.

Linghu Chong said: "Third Junior Brother, it was Master who sent me to Hengshan Sect to deliver a letter, saying that the Demon Sect has been acting frequently recently, and the Hengshan Sect should be more careful, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Devil Sect thieves."

Only then did Tang Han understand what was going on, it turned out to be the case, but Tang Han was puzzled, and didn't know whether it was the real Demon Cult who was causing trouble, or the Songshan faction making trouble.

One must know that when Zuo Lengchan proposed the merger of the Five Sacred Mountains, the heads of the other four schools opposed it, but Zuo Lengchan did not give up.
