Chapter 39:
Li Mubai looked at the wall of the announcement, the more and more students gathered, even the gentlemen of the academy also smelled the wind, excitedly patting their thighs, praising the poem for its great ingenuity and simplicity to the point of reason.
Li Da Ru's ears twitched, catching the mountain wind sending intermittent chatter:
"First there was a poem on who knows who in the world, and now a poem on persuasion, could it be that the way of poetry in my Dafeng Confucianism is about to rise again?"
"Over the past two hundred years, there have been very few masterpieces of poetry, and now with these two poems, our generations of readers will finally have the face to face their descendants."
"Compared to who under the sun knows no one, this poem of exhortation must be more widely circulated, and will be taken out from time to time to admonish the readers."
"Why is it not signed, which great scholar made it?"
No signature .... This poem must be widely circulated .... Li Mubai's heart moved, looking at the two friends who were talking in low voices, he didn't move and backed away, leaving.
Zhang Shen suddenly realized that Li Mubai had disappeared, "Where is Brother Pure Jing?"
"Fang was still here ...." Chen Tai looked left and right and raised his hand to point in the direction of the short wall, "Over there."
Zhang Shen followed the sound and saw Li Mubai dismissing all the students, holding a pen and writing something on a huge piece of paper.
Zhang Shen and Chen Tai gazed and gathered their minds, their pupils turned deep at once, and they could be seen in every detail a hundred meters away.
The two of them could see clearly that Li Mubai had written this line of small characters on the side of the three words of the Poem of Exhortation:
"At the end of Gengzi and the beginning of Xinchou, my teacher, Mubai, was persuading students to study, and with a feeling, he composed this poem."
Meaning, at the end of Gengzi and the beginning of Xinchou, my teacher Li Mubai advised me to strive for excellence, and I deeply agreed, so I wrote this poem.
This can also rub off? The two great scholars instantly exploded in their minds.
"Shameless old thief, put down your pen!"
.......
The elegant pavilion behind the academy, built on the mountain, is adjacent to the Six Fold Waterfall to the east, and to the west is a bamboo forest that is evergreen in all seasons.
Bamboo in the north is a rarity, not easy to feed, not easy to reproduce, a night of thunder and rain after the spring bamboo shoots of the scene, only in the south can be seen.
The gentlemen of the academy transplanted bamboo from the south, cultivated diligently, took fifty years to raise this lush bamboo forest.
Readers have a special love for bamboo, appreciating its bones, often using bamboo as a metaphor for others and themselves (appreciation of the emphasis).
Cloud deer academy dean came over one day to see, yo, bamboo forest so dense, bamboo does not fear the cold, four seasons of the bones, describing is not me.
Everyone out of grams, I will live here in the future.
So, Accord from the dean of the retreat place.
Simple and elegant tea room, an old man wearing hemp clothes and a woman in Chinese clothes sitting and drinking tea, a column of armor guards in the elegant pavilion outside the Phi Jian Zhi Shui.
The old man's florid white hair was casually draped, emphasizing a bit of scruffiness and spontaneous uninhibitedness, the decree lines and the Chuan zigzag lines at the center of his eyebrows were extremely deep, while the crow's feet lines outweighed the former two when he smiled.
Based on appearance alone, it was hard for people to think that this old man dressed as a downtrodden Confucian would be the president of the Cloud Deer Academy.
Contemporary Confucianism's head of the bull's-eye.
The woman sitting opposite him and drinking tea had long since passed the age of ten, but she wore a simple conch bun and inserted a glorious gold step rocker, obviously dressed as if she had not left the court.
She wore a long, gorgeous, moonlight-white dress, the hem of which trailed on the ground.
Her appearance was clear and beautiful, just like a water lotus that was not evil. And the pair of clear eyes as if an ice mirror, penetrating hard to hide the cold and noble.
The body that had long been open was luscious and convex, with tantalizing curves.
"Haven't seen you for half a year, the silver threads in the dean's hair have added a lot more." The eldest princess said, her voice also clear and cold.
"It's all troublesome silk." The dean smiled and sipped his tea.
"Today on the mountain, I heard the disciples of the academy recite a poem ..... Mo Chou has no friend in front of him, who in the world doesn't know him!" The Rapunzel's eyes moved slightly, like an ice mirror blooming:
"Such a masterpiece, this palace is very happy to hear it, I don't know if it's a new work by that great scholar?"
Dean Zhao Shou heard, shook his head and laughed.
"Dean why laugh at me."
"I'm not laughing at the princess, I'm laughing at the fact that Cloud Deer Academy has a lot of talent, but not as much as someone else's spontaneous work. No, the entire Dafeng Confucian Forest has become numb and antiquated in thought, lacking in aura, and poetry, most of all, focuses on aura."
".... Abbot's words are confusing to this palace." The Rapunzel looked serene, her beautiful orchid fingers twirling the tealight, drinking tea with a noble and elegant gesture.
Zhao Shou sighed, "The person who made this poem is not a scholar, but is a Xu official from Changle County."
The eldest princess was slightly moved.
This Princess of the Dafeng Dynasty was different from ordinary women. A lady from a scholarly family who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting was a talented person.
And this Princess, she followed Wei Yuan to learn to play chess; followed Zhang Shen to learn the art of war; followed Chen Tai to learn to rule the country. She has memorized the classics of the saints, and her essays and theories are as good as those of the students of the State Scholarship Academy.
She was very knowledgeable and learned a lot.
At the age of eighteen, the emperor authorized her to participate in the Hanlin Academy's compilation of books. The year before last, the eldest princess tried to re-edit the history books of the previous dynasty, causing protests from the ministers, and in the end, it was not settled.
"Does the abbess really not consider going out to work?" The Rapunzel's gaze was sincere and her tone was serious: "Confucianism is people-oriented, and longevity is not long, the dean should not be wasting his years."
Few people know, in fact, the Qingzhou General Secretary's official position, was originally awarded to Zhao Shou.
It was only that Zhao Shou shrugged off his unwillingness to take up the post and wrote to the court, recommending Ziyang Jushi.
"Wasted years if I can open up a path of learning for future generations, why wouldn't I be happy?" Zhao Shou sighed:
"It's a pity that after more than ten years of enlightenment in the Bamboo Forest and vomiting my heart and soul, I couldn't cross the moat of heaven drawn by the Process Sub-Saint."
"The abbot's obsession is too deep, why is it so." The Eldest Princess added tea for herself with a calm demeanor, "Father invited you to serve, he intends to reuse Yunlu Academy, if you really think about the students of Yunlu Academy, you shouldn't have refused."
Zhao Shou kindly laughed, "Is it getting more and more impossible to manage Wei Yuan, or is the dragon slaying technique of that group of Zhu Zi nobles getting sharper and sharper?"
"It's for the people of Dafeng, for the sake of the world." The Rapunzel spoke word for word, from her heart.
The smile on Zhao Shou's face grew more and more sneering.
Changes appeared in the Rapunzel's clear and cold tone, and she sighed, "After the Battle of Shanhai, the national strength of the Great Feng weakened day by day, and natural disasters continued year after year. ***** There are countless, and the scourge of the Xuxu officials has become more and more obvious.
"The dynastic eunuchs only know party strife, and there are countless people who talk with their hands up their sleeves, and very few people who do real work to build up the nation. Dean, the Empire lacks a stitcher."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Zhao Shou to open his mouth and continued to speak eloquently, "Three years ago, the northern barbarians tore up the treaty, repeatedly violated the border, and plundered the people.
"The southern barbarians destroyed post roads and raided military towns in a vain attempt to recapture lost lands.
"The western countries watched with cold eyes, and the Buddhist sect used this as blackmail, wanting to preach to the Central Plains."
She gradually increased her tone, her voice no longer cold, "Dean, as a scholar, shouldn't you show your ambition and revitalize the country."
Zhao Shou stared at the Rapunzel for a moment, then his eyes moved away from this clear and elegant in the face, with a noble gas, looking out the window at the green bamboo forest, shaking his head and sighing:
"Not unwilling, the time has not yet come. Princess please return."
Princess eyes can not hide the disappointment, was about to say goodbye and leave, outside the elegant pavilion came the sound of rapid footsteps, an academy of Mr. hurriedly ran in, exclaimed:
"Dean, something bad happened, Li Mu Bai, Zhang Shen and Chen Tai fought."
