The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 97

In the same year, he paid homage to the school secretary, and sneaked and died madly.

Occupy the garden together and compete for Zhao Pi, and compete for Qian Guanding Qiuniang.

For seven years, the floating world has passed through the eyes, and in August, the idle night suddenly merged into bed.

Talking to want to bright joy and weeping, laughing at each other and hurting each other.

……

The next day, the Holy Master issued a decree, announcing the list of martial arts for this year, and the best of them will be crowned three days later.This group of young elites selected by various martial arts sects were all promoted to martial arts, except for one person——Bai Fu!
Bai Fu stood there dumbfounded.Zhang Fen and Taoist Qing Chi were also at a loss.

Fortunately, Master Xu arrived in time, and explained the ins and outs in the future:
It turned out that after the debate in front of the palace that day, Bai Fu became the target of public criticism.Many censors, represented by Ji Wen and Luo Xishi, wrote to the sage, suggesting that Bai Fu be sent to prison for investigation.Xu Taifu invited several powerful families in Chang'an to play to protect Baifu.Immediately, Li Xiang led all the officials to continue to play, demanding that Bai Fu be severely punished.Yang Guozhong sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, but the East Palace did not dare to speak out.

In the stalemate, Xu Taifu invited Shaolin Master Kongjian who led the team to Beijing this time.After Shaolin Master Kong saw the master face to face, Xuanzong just dismissed Ji Wen, Luo Xishi and others' memorials, not allowing Bai Fu to be punished.However, considering the delicate relationship between Bai Fu and the prince, Bai Fu was finally removed from the Wu Hanlin.

When Bai Fu heard this, his grief and indignation were inexplicable, and he said: "Teacher, Li Xiang harmed me, I have nothing to say. But, I saved the sons and daughters of His Highness the Crown Prince, why didn't the Crown Prince speak for me?"

Xu Taifu said: "The prince's silence is helping you. If he avenges you, the Holy One will not allow you. The power of heaven is unpredictable, and the consequences may be unimaginable."

Bai Fu couldn't feel relieved, he said: "I am a chivalrous man, am I wrong?"

Taifu Xu pondered for a while, and said: "You are not wrong, it is the disease of this era. Everyone has a different perspective, and their right and wrong are also different. I am afraid that it is difficult for you at your age to understand this."

Qing Chidao let out a long breath, and said: "The matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to say. Taifu, then I will take Bai Fu back to the mountain."

Mrs. Xu smiled gently, and said: "Since you are here, don't leave lightly. Although I am not involved in government affairs, I am also the head of the Hongwen Museum under my family. Fu'er, from tomorrow onwards, you will come to my place and be a School clerk."

Bai Fu was taken aback, and said, "What does this school secretary do?"

Xu Taifu said: "The Hongwen Library is responsible for correcting books, teaching students, and participating in the court system and etiquette. It accepts 38 students, all of whom are children of the emperor's relatives, first-rank officials, prime ministers, and meritorious officials. The age of admission is from 19 to [-] years old. School books Lang and Er, from the ninth rank, they are in charge of managing classics and publishing correctness and error. When you come to me, you will be a student and listen to the lectures of contemporary great Confucianists, and at the same time be a ninth rank official. If you can't do martial arts, be a real one. Hanlin!"

Zhang Fen joked: "Brother Fu, you are only in your teens and you are already in the prime of your life!"

Everyone laughed loudly, deliberately alleviating Bai Fu's worry and anger.

……

After Bai Fu returned to the house, he told Yi Chan why he lost the election.Yichan remained silent, and finally sighed after a long while: "Brother, it's all my fault, I've hurt you."

Bai Fu also hugged the cicada gently, and said affectionately: "Sister Yang, how can I blame you for this? If you want to blame, you can only blame the traitor."

Yichan gently pushes Bai Fu away, and sits alone, depressed.The two were speechless.Yichan suddenly felt bored, frowned and said: "Brother, I'm tired, I'll go back to the room to rest first." She left immediately, leaving Bai Fu alone.

This departure caused Bai Fu to complain, and said in his heart: "Sister Yang, I never blamed you, why did you do this? At this moment, I need your company so much. With you by my side, even if the world abandons me, I have no fear either. But you are cold and indifferent, and frozen in frost, which makes people chill." Bai Fu held a sullen breath in his heart, and his depression was hard to get over.

……

Early the next morning, Bai Fu got up early before everyone else and went to the Hongwen Museum.Hongwen Museum is located in Wubenfang Guozijian.Xu Taifu was very happy to see that Bai Fu had arrived early.Nothing happened today, so I personally took Bai Fu to visit.

Hongwen Museum has a deep courtyard, shaded by green trees, gray walls and green tiles, simple and elegant.The front yard is a Confucian temple, the atrium is a dozen lecture halls, and the back yard is a collection of books and a forest of steles.

In the courtyard, there are buildings such as Zhaobi, Archway, Panchi, Lingxing Gate, Huabiao, Jimen, Stele Pavilion, Erwu, Beilin, etc., which are symmetrically arranged from south to north with the middle gate of Lingxing Gate as the main axis.

Xu Taifu took him to visit the Hongwen Museum while explaining the past here:
"Many people say that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty lies in its strong army, abundant treasury, and free trade. In fact, they are only partially right. The reason why my Tang Dynasty is the center of the world is because of cultural prosperity, freedom and openness, diversity, tolerance, and tolerance. Only then did elites from all over the world gather, and merchants from all over the world came to the DPRK.

The prosperity of culture is related to Emperor Taizong's thought of emphasizing literature.At the beginning of the development of our dynasty, Emperor Taizong set up a literary museum in the west of Chang'an Palace City when he was in the midst of his army, and recruited famous scholars from all over the world, known as the "Eighteen Scholars". , Yu Shinan and other celebrities.

Emperor Taizong and them introduced etiquette to form codes, and their diction was smooth and elegant.After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he ordered the collection of 20 volumes of books in the Hongwen Hall, and the establishment of the "Hongwen Museum", which is not only the national collection of books, but also the place where the emperor recruits scholars of literature, gathering Chu Liang, Yao Silian, Cai Yungong, Xiao Deyan, etc. Yingcai, when he was listening to the court, was introduced into the hall, and gave lectures on essays until the end of the night.

The two museums gather talents and develop culture, which is indispensable.Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were both famous officials in the early Tang Dynasty.Fang Xuanling wrote "Book of Jin", and Du Ruhui formulated various regulations and systems.Lu Deming wrote "Classic Interpretation", studying characters, phonology and scriptures.The "Five Classics of Justice" edited by Kong Yingda is the standard book for the imperial examination.Yao Silian and Wei Zheng co-authored "Chen Shu".These learned people can be said to be the think tank of Emperor Taizong.

Emperor Taizong's poems are extraordinary.Pay attention to artistic conception and seek similarity.Take this song "Yanzhongshan" as an example, it is earth-shattering and powerful:

Drive the horse out of Liaoyang, turn the flag for thousands of miles.

There are six miracles against the enemy, and eight formations in Linrong.

Cut the whale to clear the blue sea, roll the fog to sweep the hibiscus.

……

The two of them passed through the halberd gate and came to a stele pavilion with green columns and red pillars, and double-layer cornices. Inside the pavilion stood the most magnificent stele in the forest of steles.The stele is about six meters high and is composed of four fine stones that are as black as black jade and can be seen in light.A square forehead is added to the stele, and relief sculptures of auspicious animals and surging clouds are engraved on the forehead; a stone is covered on the forehead, and beautiful cirrus clouds are carved on the edge of the stone, and the top is shaped like a mountain; on the forehead of the stele, sixteen characters are written in seal script: " Great Tang Kaiyuan, Tianbao Shengwen, Emperor Shenwu, Annotated Xiaojingtai".There are three layers of stone steps under the stele, and the three layers of stone steps are engraved with lush vines and majestic lion-shaped monsters on all sides.

Xu Taifu said: "This stone tablet was engraved in the fourth year of Tianbao. It is the "Book of Filial Piety" written by today's emperor himself. Because there are three stone steps under the tablet, it is called "The Book of Filial Piety on the Stone Terrace". In the "Jing", the style of official script was mixed together. The gracefulness of regular script combined with the simplicity of official script, springs spewing phoenixes, seas swallowing gold, are indeed unique.

It was the first time Bai Fu saw Xuanzong's handwriting, and it was really vigorous.But when he thought of Xuanzong's prejudice against him, he was immediately indignant, and he didn't want to stop and look again.
