First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Ximeng led a group of people, following the pavilions and pavilions, into the academy.

The founder of Bailudong Academy can be traced back to Li Bo in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

According to legend, Li Bo kept a white deer, who accompanied him all day long, so he was called Mr. Bailu. Later, Li Bo took office as the governor of Jiangzhou, and he revisited the old place. He built pavilions and pavilions, diverted mountain springs, planted flowers and trees, and became a tourist attraction.

Because the peak here is round and shaped like a hole, it is named Bailu Cave.

The scenery is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. Many literati naturally gather to talk about poetry and Taoism, lecture on scriptures and prose, and gradually become a place where celebrities gather.

After Zhao Song established the country, due to the prevalence of lectures, academies sprang up everywhere. The Bailudong Academy with a good background quickly became a model for the academies in the world, and a large number of celebrities came out from here.

And it was the great scholar Zhu Xi who pushed Bailudong Academy to the extreme.

Since he has cultivated Neo-Confucianism to the realm of the Nine Heavens, he has preached his knowledge here and recruited many disciples. Later, Lu Jiuyuan, who has the power to learn the Eightfold Heaven, also came to discuss and debate.

With the blessing of two great Confucian scholars, Bailudong Academy has become the source of the world's Neo-Confucianism.

Zhu Xi's aesthetic is absolutely superb. The academy he left behind adopts a large courtyard building, which is spacious and elegant... This is a feeling that is difficult to describe.

Ordinary large courtyards are well-behaved, better ones are magnificent, solemn and majestic.

But the academy in front of me is spacious, with a hint of ingenuity, elegance, simplicity, and simplicity, with unique ingenuity.

Zhang Ximeng also saw a good house by the West Lake. It was built by the Wang family, and he spared no expense to condense the essence of Jiangnan gardens.

At that time, Zhang Ximeng felt that it was the best place to live.

But when you arrive at this academy, you will immediately understand that the yard is still too crafty, and it is a bit deliberately dazzling.

Bailudong Academy, however, couldn't feel it at all. The pavilions, the pavilions, and the classrooms where classes were taught seemed to be the way they should be.

Frankly speaking, from the perspective of this architectural pattern, Zhu Xi's cultivation level is also extraordinary. If he is not a great scholar and changes his career as a designer, it would be good.

It's just a pity that some buildings have been damaged from the outside, and the inside is probably even more unbearable.

To be honest, before coming to the academy, Zhang Ximeng had all kinds of thoughts on Zhu Xi, and planned to have a thorough and hearty victory.

Sweep the old thief Zhu Xi into the trash heap of history and bury Neo-Confucianism in one fell swoop!

But walking in this academy, Zhang Ximeng seemed to feel a warm atmosphere, as if an old friend was calling in a low voice, the mountain spring ding dong, the birds chirped, the wind sent the fragrance of flowers, and the mountains were slightly awned.

"This place is probably the place where even gods can live. It is indeed the number one academy in the world!"

Seeing Zhang Ximeng keep nodding, Gao Qi and the others also admired heartily, their eyes widened, something was wrong!

"Zhang Xiang, do you think this place is very good?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "Isn't it bad? If I don't have to deal with government affairs and care about so many mundane things, I really want to study and drink tea in the mountains, and be free from the dust! Let me tell you, the air in the mountains is fresh. Yes, to prolong life, it is much stronger than Jinling's crowd... By the way, how old did Zhu Xi live?"

"Seventy-one years old." Gao Qi answered honestly.

Zhang Ximeng was astonished, "It shouldn't be, how can you survive Confucius and Mencius here!"

Confucius is seventy-three and Mencius is eighty-four. This is the number of lifespans only for sages and sages. In ancient times, they were absolutely old and could be called auspiciousness. That's why there are seventy-three-eighty-four sayings that the King of Hell did not tell him to go.

Zhu Xi only lived to be seventy-one years old, and he was indeed a little shorter.

At this time, Ye Chen coughed and said, "Zhang Xiang, Zhu Xi was involved in party disputes in his later years. Han Yuxu attacked Taoism, expelled Zhao Ruyu, and dismissed Zhu Xi. The censor Shen Jizu took the opportunity to make a false accusation, listing Zhu Xi's infidelity, filial piety, inhumanity, injustice, disrespect, He also fabricated the rumor that Zhu Xi seduced a nun, thought he was a concubine, and asked Ning Zong to learn from Confucius and punish Shao Zhengmao... Zhu Xi had a hard time in his later years. But even so, he worked hard to write a book, just to inherit the Taoism and have someone to follow." 8 Seven ⑦zω.℃ǒΜ

Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered what happened to Zhu Xi in his later years... Actually, just looking at this episode, it was really embarrassing.

As we all know, the Zhao and Song Dynasties were rich in party disputes, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty... But the literati in the Song Dynasty liked to lecture, and as a result, lectures were often mixed with the government and politics, and it became a pot of porridge.

After Zhu Xi became a jinshi, his official position was not high, and he kept wandering around, lecturing and writing books, and instructing his disciples... During this time, Zhu Xi should have been very at ease.

In his later years, in his sixties, he was recommended by Zhao Ruyu and entered the court to give lectures to the emperor. As a result, he stepped into the circle of right and wrong. Not only was he demoted, but his painstakingly created Neo-Confucianism was also listed as a pseudo-learning and was directly banned.

Zhu Xi was also suffering from illness and died.

Ironically, because of the contempt of Neo-Confucianism in later generations, Zhu Xi became disgusted, and then he took out the crime of framing Zhu Xi and put it on Zhu Xi's head.

Whether Old Master Zhu was wronged or not, he didn't know what to say for a while... He really didn't commit those crimes, but it was because of his hands that Confucianism was carried forward.

In this way, it turned out that Neo-Confucianism did not suddenly become a prominent study, and during the period it was even banned as a pseudo-study, and the old master Zhu Xi also had a bleak night.

Zhang Ximeng sighed and sighed for a while. They happened to arrive at a courtyard, an ancient well, a stone table, and a few scattered stone piers.

Zhang Ximeng sat down casually, and said to several people: "You said, did Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan debate here?"

Zhang Ximeng said with regret: "Unfortunately, today's school is stagnant and neglected, and there are no famous scholars, otherwise it would be interesting to sit here and debate knowledge together."

Yes, Zhang Ximeng and the others entered the academy without seeing anyone along the way.

Obviously to avoid the war, everyone fled, and no one took care of the academy. If, in a few years, houses collapsed and rubble and rubble lay all over the place, they might not be able to experience the splendor of the place where Zhu Xi gave lectures.

Zhang Ximeng even had the urge to rebuild the academy.

Gao Qi and others found that Zhang Ximeng seemed to have changed a person, and they were also a little disappointed, so they were unwilling to say: "Zhang Xiang, I didn't expect people from Bailudong Academy to go to the empty building, and there is no one who can argue the scriptures. In this case, it is better to Zhang Xiang Just teach here!"

Xu Ben also said: "Yeah, finish the unfinished things on the road, the failure of Bailudong Academy is the decline of Neo-Confucianism. When the new school starts, Zhang Xiang has no slack!"

Sun Yan also hurriedly bowed and said, "They are right!"

"To you!" Zhang Ximeng said rudely: "Any science has a basis for its argument and its own system. Although I don't like science, but let me criticize it for no reason. Wouldn't it be a shrew scolding the street?" In the end, we still need prophets and governors... If you have time, look around to see if you can find some manuscripts."

What was originally a hurrying intellectual dispute has instantly turned into the rescue of cultural relics.

A few people split up and turned around. They found that the academy was indeed empty for a few years. The blue brick and tile houses were still there, but the windows were obviously eaten by insects and ants, and the tiles were leaking. The exterior looked okay. In fact it is useless.

They found the library, only to find that the books had long since been emptied, leaving only a few broken wooden shelves.

I don't know if it was moved away by the people from the academy, or if it was taken away by the people nearby, there is nothing left.

A few people searched around, just moved a few boards back and placed them in front of Zhang Ximeng.

"Zhang Xiang, the paper is gone, only these wooden boards have characters. It seems to be the original school rules."

When Zhang Ximeng heard this, he immediately stood up, came over, put the wooden board on the stone table, and carefully identified the handwriting on it.

"Scholars learn only this. And the order of their learning, there are also five things, which are different from the left: eruditely. Thinking and discriminating the four, so there is no rationale."

Zhang Ximeng has long been used to reading ancient prose, and these sentences are not obscure, which means that there are five learning sequences. Learn widely, ask carefully, think carefully, distinguish clearly, and implement faithfully. This is the order of learning. Learning, questioning, thinking, and discriminating are the four methods of researching things.

Zhang Ximenglue looked at it, and couldn't help but say: "Learning, asking questions, thinking, distinguishing, and implementing...Isn't this what I have always advocated? Not only academics, governance and people, but also a broad understanding of the situation and asking questions. , think and analyze, come up with a plan, and then implement it... Is this really what Zhu Xi advocated?"

Everyone nodded together, "It is indeed what Master Zhu advocated."

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but look down again, "If you do things earnestly, you will self-cultivate yourself so that you can handle things and receive things, and you have their own needs. The difference is like the left: Loyalty in words. Respectful in action. Punishment and suffocation. .The essentials of right self-cultivation"

These sentences are continued from the above, how to faithfully implement it? It is necessary to know the principles of self-cultivation, dealing with things, and connecting with things, and each has its own essentials. Speak faithfully and faithfully, act respectfully, restrain anger, restrain selfish desires: correct mistakes and keep doing good. This is the principle of self-cultivation.

Zhang Ximeng looked at it and looked at it, to be honest, he really couldn't pick out the fault, and he asked himself, he may not have reached this level.

Looking further down, "righteousness does not seek its benefits. Knowing its way does not count its merits. The right way to do things is essential."

Seeing this sentence, Zhang Ximeng couldn't help clapping his hands and cheering. Zhu Xi advocated that everything should be done for the sake of justice rather than personal interests, and for the sake of discerning the truth and not for his own fame. These words just touched Zhang Ximeng's heart.

"Look, Zhu Xi said that doing things is for righteousness, not for profit... Just ask the world's scholars, how can they annex land, keep slaves, and avoid the field and corvee? How can they be greedy and let the people suffer for their own selfishness? Is the country in trouble?"

"I think what Zhu Xi said is quite right! People in Neo-Confucianism really have violated Zhu Zi's teachings!"

Everyone was stunned, Zhang Xiang, don't you know what it means to say one thing and do another?

This time, Tang San's grasp of time, location, and distance was very precise.

He knew very well that even if he possessed the unique skills of the Tang Sect, he also possessed a third-order Xuan Tiangong cultivation. However, the wolf demon is talented and strong, and if he is facing the enemy, he may not be an opponent. Especially since he is young and lacks qi and blood, he will definitely not be able to fight for a long time. If it weren't for the transformation of a human to kill a wolf demon, he might not be able to take action in the face of two third-order wolf demons, and his own life is the most important thing.

However, once he makes a move, he must hit it.

The wolf demon was in a state of extreme anger at this time, so he didn't realize it until Tang San's palm slapped the side of his eyes. Turning his head sharply, the wolf's mouth went straight to Tang San to bite.

Tang San's other hand grabbed his clothes at this moment, using the convenience of his small stature, he pulled the wolf's fur and changed his direction. The position that was almost close to the third-order wolf demon's chest was flipped to the other side of the wolf demon.

The index finger and **** of the right hand were combined into sword fingers, and Xuanyu's hand urged, so that the **** flashed a pure white jade color, and stabbed the eyes of the wolf demon who was turning back like lightning. 818 Novels

"Pfft!" The slender fingers were almost instantly warmed. In terms of physical strength, Tang San was definitely far inferior to this third-order wolf demon, but he was hit to the point, and with the same level of energy, he would never be able to do it again. There is no fluke.

Under the injection of Xuan Yu's hand, Xuan Tian Gong was almost spun into the wolf demon's brain. So that the other eye of the wolf demon also burst open in an instant, and the brain has been twisted into a mess. The roar came to an abrupt end as if the neck was stuck, and the strong body also fell to the ground.

Tang San kicked his toes on him, turning over and landing in a far place.

This blow can have such a result, or the rich combat experience in the previous life helped him. The child's thin body and the dark night are the best cover. In addition, the third-order wolf demon is in a rage, and the perception is weakened.

In a head-to-head confrontation, Tang San's mysterious jade hand might not be able to break through the thick skin of the wolf demon. However, the eyes are the most vulnerable place. If the eyes are pierced and injected with Xuantian energy, the dead can no longer die.

Both feet landed, and the third-order wolf demon on the other side had also stopped moving. Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't rush to check the human, but quickly fell on the ground and pressed his ears to the ground~www.readwn.com~ listened to the movement around him to see if there were any chasing troops.

With his current strength, it is difficult to face the third-order wolf demon head-on. No matter how good his skills are, his young body is too weak. Once hit by a wolf demon, it is likely to be fatal. In the seemingly simple attack just now, he actually went all out to raise his spiritual will to the highest level.

There was no other movement around. Obviously, there were only two third-order wolf monsters who were chasing and killing those who could transform into humans. This also made Tang San heave a sigh of relief, otherwise, he would have to choose to escape.

Only then did he walk towards the human being, while remaining vigilant.

When he came to the man, he immediately found that the hair that had grown on the man had disappeared. Tang San's heartbeat couldn't help but increase a bit.

Given his childhood situation, and the fact that he was not related to the man who turned into a human, the safest way to do this was to wait for the wolf demon to leave. But he still chose to take action. One is that the people being hunted down are humans. Another important reason is his just transformation.

In Tang San's original Douluo Continent world, there was a kind of spirit master with a beast spirit, capable of possessing similar abilities. You can also grow and become stronger by cultivating the beast spirit.

If there is a similar ability in this world, for him, if he can learn it, it will naturally be of great benefit to his own strength improvement, and it will be easier to integrate into this world!
