Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 196

When Luo Yan arrived at Zhouxue, the sky was still shining with stars.People at this time did not have the habit of getting up early in the morning to read by candle.If Luo Yan hadn't stayed in Chang'an for half a year and attended the morning court from time to time, he wouldn't have the habit of getting up so early.

In October in the northwest, the morning can be frosty.Ah Quan, who was standing behind Luo Yan, rubbed his hands at this moment, and said with some complaints: "Lang Jun, what are you doing up so early? It's a cold day, think about how warm the quilt is. This is not Chang'an, and you don't need it now." Going to the morning court, why bother to embarrass yourself like this."

"You lazy bastard. It's the first time I came to this state to study today. I was thinking, what should I say on this first day?"

Luo Yan started to feel confused at this moment.If outsiders know that a dignified Dr. Zhou doesn't know what he is going to do, will Luo Yan's criticism be completely shattered.

After standing in the morning wind for half an hour, the gate of the state school just opened.The gatekeeper didn't know Luo Yan's identity. When he opened the door and saw the two standing there, he asked, "Hey, it's a cold day, and the students from the state school haven't come yet. It would take a long time for the two of you to find someone." Wait for a while. Forgive me, I can't let the two of you in, but there is hot soup in the concierge, and you can put two bowls of soup for the two of you to warm up."

Hearing what the gatekeeper said, Luo Yan felt that the gatekeeper had a good heart.He said to the old man with a smile on his face: "Hi, old man, I am here to take up my post, and I am not looking for anyone. This is my appointment document. You might as well take it in and find a teacher. I think they will let me in. "

"Going to the post, the state school is short of a doctor now. You, can't you, wait, I'll serve you a bowl of hot soup first, and then I'll go in and ask." The concierge went in and poured bowls for the two with suspicious eyes Hot water, then closed the door, and hurried to the bedrooms of the masters who lived in Zhouxue with Luo Yan's name card.

As Luo Yan expected, within a moment, someone came over with the concierge.Opening the door, Luo Yan saw that it was the old man who had finished commenting on the poems.Seeing Luo Yan, the old man cupped his hands and said, "Tao Yu, Assistant Professor of State Studies, meet Dr. Luo."

Facing such an old man, how could Luo Yan dare to be so courteous.He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Mr. Tao up.Then he said with some trepidation: "Master Tao doesn't need to be so polite. The scholars in our state have always judged people based on their talents and virtues. How can they bend the backs of scholars with mere official positions."

As a member of scholars, Luo Yan does not want the state school in his hands to be full of officialdom.

Obviously, Luo Yan's behavior made Master Tao happy for a while.When Luo Yan helped him up, the old master said excitedly: "I never thought that Dr. Luo is so humble, and he can just teach those students who don't know the heights of the world." After speaking, he pulled Luo Yan's hand, and Ignoring the weird look in the porter's eyes, he pulled Luo Yan into the state school.

Jinzhou State School now has only two hundred students.Except for several lecture halls, most of the remaining buildings are used for the residence of the master and some students who are far away from home.Of course, we have to talk about the two most conspicuous buildings in the state school.

The first place is the hall dedicated to the ancestor of Confucius.The main hall is facing the gate of the state school. Walk straight from the state school. Except for the corridor in front of the door, there are birch trees unique to the north lined up along the road.Walk tens of meters in the middle of the road surrounded by trees, and you will arrive at the main hall.It was too far away, and Luo Yan could only vaguely see the portrait of Confucius enshrined inside.

As for the other building, it is on the right side of the worship hall.According to Master Tao's introduction, that is the most precious place of their state studies - the library.It is not easy to collect books in official schools, and even fewer can scale them up.After all, it is very difficult to collect books without sufficient financial support.

When he heard about the library, the old master said that although it only filled one floor, it was enough for him to show off in front of people for a long time.

At this moment, some students gradually got up to wash up early. Seeing Luo Yan and Tao Fuzi, who met Luo Yan last night in Xiangmanlou, they greeted each other respectfully at this moment.Those who didn't know Luo Yan respectfully saluted Master Tao, and then walked over to deal with their own affairs in a leisurely manner.

Luo Yan was quite satisfied seeing this scene. Although some of them were arrogant, they still followed the basic etiquette, and they didn't lose all the face of this state school.

It was still early, Tao Fuzi invited Luo Yan to their usual resting place, and poured hot water on them.Then he exchanged pleasantries with Luo Yan.When talking about Yu Shizong's coming today, Tao Fuzi first wanted to make arrangements in advance.But Luo Yan stopped him when he said it.

"Letting the students study well is the best response to the Shangguan. Why disturb the normal order of the state school. Master, let me talk to you for now. The governor will send someone later, and I will take all the masters out to meet you later. Now, why don't you just tell me about the state school."

During this time, Luo Yan learned about the state of the state school through Tao Yu's mouth.

In addition to Luo Yan, there are eight masters in the state school, including Master Tao.And there are two hundred students, and this year there are about ten who will take part in the scientific examination.But there are many people who are preparing for the scientific examination.It's just that each state has a limited supply of candidates every year, and there can only be so many who go to Chang'an with the tribute team from the state capital.

Of course, some people can ask the state for a recommendation and then take the test themselves.This method existed as early as the fifth year of Wude. Therefore, after careful calculation, it is said that there are no fewer than 30 people in Jinzhou who actually went to the Jinshi department this year.

After hearing this number, Luo Yan also had a bottom line in his heart.Although Dr. Zhou does not need to teach in person, if he wants to manage it handily in the future, he must come up with some dry goods on the first day.With the information given by Master Tao, Luo Yan finally figured out what he said could conquer these masters and students.

It took almost an hour for one person to talk and one person to listen.Hearing the sound of students' morning reading coming from outside, the concierge suddenly came to report the presence of the governor's mansion, and Luo Yan knew that he was going to meet Yu Shizong.

The concierge called the masters to the gate of the state school, and Luo Yan went there accompanied by Master Tao.Although basically all the masters of the state school knew that Luo Yan was the new doctor last night, it is better to wait for Yu Shizong to come to witness the handover of power.

Without making Luo Yan and the others wait any longer, Yu Shizong arrived in just a cup of tea.After exchanging courtesies, the two came to the enshrining hall surrounded by eight masters.

Facing the portrait of the most holy teacher, Yu Shizong solemnly handed over the official seal representing the doctor to Luo Yan.After Luo Yan received the official seal with a solemn expression, he first bowed respectfully to the portrait.Then he bowed to Yu Shizong, and the last bow was to many masters.

After paying homage, Luo Yan said solemnly: "Luo Yan knows that he is lacking in talent and learning, and is grateful to His Majesty for conferring on this position. I have a close heart, but I have to devote myself to it. I hope that you will be diligent and diligent, and don't lose your past sage knowledge. "This is the style of expressing oneself as an official, but there seems to be no difference between saying and not saying.

After finishing these words, Luo Yan said to Yu Shizong: "Today, Luo Yan wants to teach the students of the state school. I don't know if the governor is interested, so let's come and see." Hearing Luo Yan's invitation, Yu Shizong naturally Very curious.Without any hesitation at all, he responded with one bite.As for those masters, they are full of expectations.

No one knows what level this new doctor is.Although it is known from various channels that this person is a teacher of the great Confucian Lu Deming, but the level of Confucian classics cannot be reflected by writing poems and prose.It is to tell the scriptures to know how to do it.Hearing that Luo Yan was going to give a lecture, he naturally meant to give a lecture.

Bulao Luoyan personally arranged, and soon a master gathered the students in the courtyard, sitting on the futons one by one, quietly waiting for the master to appear.

Luo Yan was led by Master Tao to the eaves of the worship hall, where he also sat on the futon, and then several masters sat behind Luo Yan, waiting for Luo Yan to speak.

Looking around at the quiet state school compound, Luo Yan said loudly: "I have made four wishes in my life, to set up my heart for the world, to set up my life for the people, to learn for the sages, and to bring peace to all generations. What is a person with a heart? The sage gets one for virtue, the son of heaven gets one for ritual, the scholar-bureaucrat gets one for name." This is from the first volume of "Book of Rites", so it is easy for students to understand.

"Therefore, there is nothing greater than fame. The duty of the Son of Heaven is greater than that of propriety. The Son of Heaven governs the three princes, and the three princes lead the princes. The princes control the high officials, and the high officials govern the common people."

"Those who live and live for the people should be confidantes at the top, and siblings at the bottom. If there are no siblings, how can you defend your confidantes. The former emperor Wen loved to support the people and paid little money. At the beginning of Zen, there were less than 400 million households. Until now At the end of the year, it was more than 890 million. He Ye, he loved it with his brothers and feet, so he got it. After the death of Emperor Wen, Emperor Yang exhausted his extravagance and did not care about the power of the people. He forced the people every year. Although he won thousands of miles of ditches, he lost his own country. This brother and foot It has been broken, it is tantamount to self-judgment."

I won't go into details about those things that I have learned for the sake of the past saints.That's it, Luo Yan only had four sentences to string together "The Analects", "Book of Rites", "Spring and Autumn" and so on.Where did those students hear such unconstrained lectures? They had to have a little background in Confucian classics before they could find the source of what Luo Yan said.

Some of the basics are relatively shallow, and you can only listen to half of them, and then keep some words that you think are more classics in your heart, which can be regarded as rewarding.

And the eight masters behind Luo Yan and Yu Shizong also listened with great interest.These four sentences of Luo Yan have a fairly high reputation among scholars, and many people have commented on these words.But no matter how good other people's annotations are, it is not as good as the original author stating his intentions.

At the beginning, although Luo Yan was suspected of being pretentious when he said this sentence, but now that he has read the Confucian classics, what Luo Yan said is his own perception.Obviously, Luo Yan did not discredit his teacher.

　Tried anti-theft, but it feels like it's not the same.
