Han Dao world

Chapter 778
In the corridor outside the Zangshu Pavilion, there are a few seats with tea and snacks on them, which are originally for people who translate books to sit when they are tired.There are few people who come to study in the library, and they are also followed.

Mao Jie and the young man went outside, exchanged names, and took their seats.

The young man's surname is Xue, his name is Zong, and his style name is Jingwen. He is from Zhuyi, Pei County.In the first year of Chuping, when the world was in turmoil, he went to Jiaozhou with his clan to take refuge, and only recently came to Chang'an.

When he was in Jiaozhou, he studied under Liu Xi in Beihai.Liu Xi is good at exegesis, so Xue Zong is more interested in language and characters, and has a certain foundation.

There are many people from the Western Regions in Jiaozhou, and he also learned some Western Region characters.After arriving in Chang'an, he applied to translate scriptures in Tongwenguan.

"When translating scriptures, the first thing is to seek the truth and not to distort the original meaning. The second thing is to seek clear and catchy words. But this requires not only a deep understanding of the meaning of the original text, but also considerable literary accomplishment to be able to express the meaning of the original text accurately. It is difficult for non-scholars to be able to do both.”

Xue Zong turned his head to gesture to the people who were translating scriptures in the library, and said in a low voice: "Most of these people are not scholars, but they are proficient in Western Region language and characters, and they don't have a deep understanding of the original meaning, and the translated characters are not fluent. Can't bear to read."

"In that case, why stay in Tongwen Hall?"

"The Tongwen Museum was first built, and the number of people who can use it is limited, so we can only make do with it for the time being." Xue Zong said: "As far as I know, there are people who really have a certain translation ability in the palace, and the words written by Cai Lingshi in Lantai are the most accurate. , Elegant, Xun Guiren's translation is slightly inferior, and the advantage lies in its speed."

Mao Jie had read the article translated by Xun Wenqian and had a good impression, but felt that Xue Zong's standard was a bit too high.

"What kind of book is the "Lunheng" you mentioned just now? Who is Kuaiji Wang Zhongren?"

Xue Zong turned his head to look at Mao Jie, and said with a smile: "When I was in Jiaozhou, people said that people from the Central Plains were conceited. I didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that what they said is not bad. We people from the Central Plains are indeed arrogant."

Mao Jie was a little embarrassed. "It seems that this Wang Zhongren is a well-educated man?"

"It should be said that he is a genius. If he is from the Central Plains, he should stand shoulder to shoulder with Huan Cigong (Huan Kuan) and Cai Bojie (Cai Yong)."

Mao Jie was taken aback.

Huan Kuan and Cai Yong are both well-known great Confucian scholars. Since Wang Zhongren from Kuaiji has such knowledge, why is he so unknown?
Am I too ignorant?
"You don't have to be surprised. Before I came to Chang'an, I never heard his name." Xue Zong said with a smile: "Although he is a disciple of Ban Shupi (Ban Biao), he is not pure Confucianism. Hi. He is not respected even in Kuaiji, let alone his masterpiece "Lunheng."

"How did you know him?" Mao Jie was curious.

"This is thanks to his township party, Yu Fan Yu Zhongxiang, who sacrificed wine in the Jiangwu Hall. Of course, he should also thank the emperor. If the emperor hadn't advocated contention, not limited to Confucianism, he would not have had the opportunity to become famous after his death."

Xue Zong was a little emotional. "The time is also lucky, it is difficult to force it. Ming Jun is in power, how can we live up to the time, we should do something."

"Want to learn with one step?"

Xue Zong nodded. "If you can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, you will have no regrets in this life. Wealth is only three or five generations old, but knowledge can last forever."

Mao Jie deeply agreed and nodded.

"Where can I find the book "Lunheng"?"

"It is said that Taixue Bookstore is preparing for it. I don't know when it will be published. I heard that there has been a lot of controversy recently. Most of the manpower and material resources have to be spent on printing the newspaper, which will definitely delay the progress of "Lunheng". If you want to read it, you might as well go to Yu Jijiu, he should have a manuscript."

"Thank you." Mao Jie said.

He also had plans to visit Yu Fan, and now he has more reasons.

-

Mao Jie discussed with Xun Chen, and Xun Chen came forward again and asked to visit Yu Fan in the lecture hall.

This time, the emperor let go.

Without further ado, Xun Chen and Mao Jie immediately left Chang'an City and went straight to the lecture hall.

When they came to Kunming Pool, they saw the Lecture Hall standing on the former site of Afang Palace.Compared with the various halls of Taixue, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Mi Heng is right. The Son of Heaven did not use force to pacify the Kanto region. Instead, he asked the world’s virtuous people to gather in Taixue to decide how the court should achieve kingship through debate. He even asked Xun Chen to find reasons for his refusal to save the land. It is simply a great kindness for the article to be published in the world.

With the current strength of the imperial court, Shandong scholar-bureaucrats have no room to bargain at all.

The two looked at each other and smiled wryly.

If you don't come to Chang'an, how will you know the real situation?Shandong scholar-bureaucrats sit in a well and watch the sky, not knowing what kind of opponent they are facing.

They only knew that the Xiliang soldiers were fierce and brutal, and they were the same tiger and wolf divisions as the Qin army, but they didn't know that under the enlightenment of the emperor, the Xiliang soldiers had surpassed the ferocity and brutality, and their combat effectiveness was even better than that of the Qin army.

Anyone with a little common sense in military affairs knows that the more well-trained and disciplined a soldier is, the stronger his combat effectiveness will be.

From ancient times to the present, who pays more attention to training and military discipline than the emperor, and even built a special lecture hall to educate the soldiers.

"You Ruo, after the lecture, you should go back to northern Hebei as soon as possible." Mao Jie said, "The general trend is that it's useless to force it, so why hurt the innocent?"

Xun Chen didn't speak, but just nodded.

He didn't intend to wait until the lecture was over. After meeting Xu Shu, he planned to leave Chang'an.

Wouldn't it be better to persuade Yuan Tan to become a minister, to promote the real return of Jizhou, and to pacify Liaodong, and then embark on the road to the west?
The Western Regions are vast, and the emperor cannot directly control them. There is a high probability that he will be crowned king, and the chances are not too many.

The two came to the front of the hall and handed over the famous thorns.

After a while, a young man came out from inside, walked quickly to Xun Chen, and bowed.

"Xu Shu met Jun Xun and Jun Mao."

Xun Chen smiled and introduced to Mao Jie: "Xiaoxian, this is Xu Shu. You may not know him, but you should have heard of another name, Xu Fu."

Mao Jie was taken aback for a moment, staring at Xu Shu again and again. "So it's you. I've heard it, I've heard it, Dian Wei has mentioned you many times."

Speaking of Dianwei, Xu Shu also came alive. "Is he all right?"

"He went to northern Xinjiang with Cao Hou. I don't know what is going on now. But Cao Hou trusts him very much and always follows him around."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Shu led them into the lecture hall.

Xun Chen was blunt and asked Xu Shu why he applied for the martial arts hall.

Xu Shu was a little surprised. "I thought Mr. Xun would not ask this question again."

Xun Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "You also saw my article?"

"I saw it. Everyone in the martial arts hall saw it, and they deeply agreed with Xun Jun's insight. They all said that the Xun family in Yingchuan is really different. There are sages in the generation, and they will surely prosper in the future."

"Really?" Xun Chen rejoiced in his heart, but still said modestly: "I was scolded so much that I didn't dare to stay in Taixue, so I could only hide in Chang'an City."

"Hahaha..." Xu Shu laughed and raised his hands, disapproving. "Back then, Shusun Tong made rituals for the Han family. Confucian scholars in Lu State denounced them as unconventional, and Shusun Tong called them contemptible Confucians. There are also many Confucian scholars today. He only recognizes the common people, but not all the people, and forgets the great righteousness because of small gains. You don’t need to have the same knowledge as these people, and wait for them to perish.”
