My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 620 The Academy of Xinghuo Liaoyuan is bloody, my destiny is my destiny (1)

The environment of Yanjing Academy is quiet and densely covered with bamboo forests. Because of the emperor's personal attention and investment, the academy was built as exquisitely as a garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the past two years, the academy has gradually gathered the elite of scholars from all over the world.

Among the great Confucians of the time, apart from Zhang Kui and Zhou Ziyan, two top Confucians, there are also masters who have achieved academic success from various places who were recruited by Zhang Kui to teach in the academy.

As an outstanding scholar-bureaucrat, Wu Min, Minister of the Cabinet, and Han Ting, one of the six ministers, would also spare time to come to the academy to teach students as part-time professors.

Therefore, the reputation of Yanjing Academy is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become the crown of Dayan Academy in the world.

The undisputed leader of Shilin.

Of course, this is not only a college, but also an important place where scholars gather, representing one of the most important voices of Shilin today.

Zhang Kui is old and his hair is almost white.

He trembled as he walked, showing signs of dying years.

Wang Lin stared at the leader of the literary world who had been firmly behind him and the Dayan court from the beginning to the end. He knew that this old gentleman was not afraid of his imperial power or his martial arts, but revered his own. Literary achievements and the grand ambition of opening up territories and opening up land for the people of Dayan to create eternal peace.

I was also moved by the kindness of knowing that I bestowed the title of Confucianism Grand Master on that day.

Therefore, the scholar died for his confidant, and the old man has been working quietly behind the scenes, reading and educating people, advocating righteousness, and contributing to the great cause of the emperor.

The reason why the Dayan gentry has been able to stabilize until now, the old man definitely owes a lot of credit.

Wang Lin felt emotional in his heart, and couldn't help but stepped forward to help Zhang Kui again and said, "Zhang Ru is old, please don't worry about me, go back to your room and rest."

Zhang Kui trembled and said: "Your Majesty, why did you say that? Is Lian Po old enough to eat? Although the students are old, they are still energetic. Your Majesty is coming to the academy. How can the students not accompany you?"

Wang Lin nodded slightly, looked around at Zhou Ziyan and other people, and said, "Zhang Ru is a respectable man, he is a model for scholars in Dayan, and he is also a great master of Confucianism. , the country is rich and the people are strong, thanks to the merits of Zhang Ru, Zhou Ru and you!"

The emperor's reputation is already extremely high.

Zhang Kui bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty has a great reputation. Teaching and educating people is the duty of students. In the peaceful and prosperous age of Great Yan, it was His Majesty who personally conquered it and fought it down without fear of life and death. How dare students take credit for it?"

Zhou Ziyan also blushed and said modestly: "Your Majesty, the students are just doing their duty and doing what they can for the prosperity of Dayan. I dare not take such praise from Your Majesty."

Wang Lin laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? Scholars in the world are the foundation of our Great Yan, and the foundation is solid. Only then can I concentrate on leading the army to open up territories for Great Yan and defend our land from foreign enemies. Therefore, everyone Great Confucianism is indispensable.

Wang Lin looked back at Shangguan Qing and said: "The decree is to include the names and portraits of Zhang Ru and Zhou Ru in the Lingxiao Pavilion, along with Li Gang, Wu Min, Zong Ze, Guo Zhishun and Huang Qishan, as the first batch of candidates."

Dayan Lingxiao Pavilion is modeled on the Tang Lingyan Pavilion, and it is dedicated to enshrine the heroes who have made great contributions to Dayan.

At present, the Lingxiao Pavilion has just been completed, and the emperor handpicked it to be included in it, but the five pavilion ministers, Li Gang, Wu Min, Zong Ze, Guo Zhishun, and Huang Qishan.

The rest of the courtiers, even Zhang Jun, Han Ting, Liu Qi, Yue Fei and others are temporarily not eligible to enter.

The emperor's words undoubtedly put Zhang Kui and Zhou Ziyan on an equal footing with Li Gang and others.

This is a great grace and honor.

As soon as the emperor's words fell, there was a silent silence around him.

Shangguanqing almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, but she looked at the emperor with clear eyes, and when she saw the emperor nodded slightly, she knew there was nothing wrong, and she couldn't help but marvel in her heart, how the emperor trusted Zhang Kui and Zhou Ziyan so much, and treated them like this Courtesy!

To be able to stand side by side with Li Gang and other five Great Yan Pavilions, Zhang Kui and the others would be honored even if they died!

Zhang Kui's face suddenly turned red with excitement, the corners of his mouth were twitching, his old face was trembling.

He could hardly believe his ears.

The emperor actually ordered himself and Zhou Ziyan to be included in the Hall of Great Yan Meritorious Ministers, Ling Xiao Pavilion, and he was also selected as the first batch of candidates together with Li Gang and other Great Yan Xiangguo. This is enough to honor the ancestors!
Zhou Ziyan's face was also suddenly happy, and then he was a little panicked.

The professors of Yenching Academy and some student representatives who were waiting around were all moved when they heard the words.

Zhang Kui and Zhou Ziyan fell to the ground tremblingly, and their disciples and some of their descendants also knelt down to the ground.

Zhang Kui said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, how can a student dare to receive such favor and praise from His Majesty?"

"Why not? Shangguanqing, help up two great Confucian scholars." Wang Lin looked around at the academy and said loudly: "Hebei was still a place where the two countries were at war, and the war was dangerous. However, to stabilize the situation, Zhang Ru and Zhou Ru led the way. Thousands of scholars have traveled thousands of miles to join me in the Northern Expedition. First it was Zhending Mansion, and now it is Yanjing.

When I first came to Hebei, I had the determination to die, so I carried the coffin to go to war. Up to now, the coffin is still hanging high on the tower of Zhending City.

Because I know that my Central Plains is surrounded by powerful enemies, the Xixia in the past, and Tubo, and now the Mongolia and Jin Kingdoms, these tigers and wolves are always watching my fertile land in the Central Plains!

In the former Song Dynasty, the national power was weak and the armaments were slack. The so-called elite western troops of the Song Dynasty were actually mostly empty-paid, corrupt and depraved, and fearful of fighting.

With such soldiers and horses, with such national strength, how to fight against the Jinren?

So I will die to show my ambition.But at that time, regardless of old age and frailty, regardless of the danger of war, Zhang Ru and others followed Zhenbei to the north, for what purpose?Isn't it the great cause of my Central Plains and my people?

That's why I said that the two great Confucian scholars and the world's scholars have made great contributions to making Great Yan what it is today, and should not be buried.

I appointed two great Confucian scholars to enter the Great Yan Lingxiao Pavilion, in order to let future generations and people in the world remember that those who have dedicated themselves to their homeland and society will never be forgotten by me, people in the world will never forget, let alone history books!
From now on, anyone who has made great contributions to their family, country, and world will be admitted to the Lingxiao Pavilion. This is a custom and cannot be changed. "

The emperor's words were loud and earnest.

Zhang Kui, Zhou Ziyan and others were so grateful that they kept kowtowing.

And all the people in the academy present cheered thunderously, shouting long live.

The emperor not only gave Zhang Ru and Zhou Ziyan, the principal and vice presidents of the Academy, high honors and political treatment, but also greatly enhanced the status of Yanjing Academy in the entire Great Yan Shilin.

After Zhang Kui and Zhou Ziyan got up, Wang Lin took a step forward and smiled loudly: "Don't be self-effacing, from my point of view, the two of you could have entered the imperial court and ranked as public servants. They are descendants, but the two of them gave up wealth and honor, were willing to be poor and lonely, and have been teaching and educating people for decades, this contribution must not be underestimated."
