Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 507 Lecture
The next day was Qi Yuandao's lecture day, which was a big event for the prefectural school. All the students of the prefectural school would watch and study the lecture from the outside, but for Nanlu Academy, it was nothing to do with it. Only a few gentlemen who received the post adjusted their classes, and as for the students, they were not eligible to enter.

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan followed Lu Jiuyuan and others to the lecture site - the lecture site was not set in the Fuxue, but in the middle of a beautiful Nanshan mountain near Fucheng.This may be in consideration of Zhao Chang's safety.There is a depression on the mountainside in the south, where the sound spreads widely, and people can sit on the surrounding slopes, making it an excellent place for lectures.But from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there is only one road, which is typically easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Du Jinning followed Lu Jiuyuan to hand over the post, and after some interrogation, he was able to enter.When we arrived at the lowlands on the mountainside, we saw a wooden table in the middle a few feet above the ground, with a chair on it, which was Qi Yuandao's seat; around three meters away from the table, there were some tables and chairs The table was surrounded; behind the tables and chairs, a fence was built with wood to form a circle.The fence is very high, a full two meters, to prevent outsiders from climbing in.

This place is low in the middle and high on all sides, which is very similar to the stands of modern stadiums.

At this time, many people were already sitting on the slope outside the fence, and Du Jinning could still see some familiar faces at a glance.These are the students of the government school.

There was only one entrance left at the fence, and after arriving here, they were checked again before they were able to enter and sit down.

When Du Jinning sat down, he felt an unfriendly look.She raised her head and found that Qi Siyu, whom she hadn't seen for almost two years, was sitting not far from them, looking at her sullenly.

This man is sick.

Du Jinning was so annoyed by this mad dog that he turned his head to talk to Lu Jiuyuan, ignoring him at all.After a while when she pulls Qi Yuandao down from the altar, Qi Siyu will know how powerful she is. At this moment, staring at each other is too cheap. Apart from making people think that her virtue is at a disadvantage, there is no benefit to her, so she will not do such a thing. stupid thing.

After waiting for a while, Qi Yuandao came in, together with Zhao Chang and his guard and housekeeper.After Zhao Chang came in, he looked around the venue, his eyes lit up when he saw Du Jinning, and he ran directly to this side: "Mr. Du, Mr. Qi."

"This is..." Lu Jiuyuan asked suspiciously.

Qi Muyuan said first, "This is Mr. Zhao from the capital."

Although Zhao is the surname of the country, there are many people with the surname Zhao among the people.However, Lu Jiuyuan still had some political sensitivity. He gasped when he thought of Qi Yuandao pointing out a prince.Fortunately, he reacted quickly, quickly concealed his surprise, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Du Jinning introduced each other, and seeing that everyone was quiet, and it seemed that only her side was making noise, she hurriedly asked Zhao Chang, "Where is Mr. Zhao's seat?"

"I'll just sit here." Zhao Chang was not polite at all, and sat down on the chair Qi Muyuan was sitting on just now, then turned his head and told the butler, "Go and bring our chair here."

In terms of safety, there are no shelters on all sides, and it is equally unsafe to sit anywhere.The butler didn't say anything, and turned around.After a while, a man was brought over. The man held a chair in each of his left and right hands, and the butler himself carried one and put it here.

How many posts have been posted, how many chairs have been placed, they are all counted, and the venue is only this big.As soon as he moved these three chairs, it seemed a bit crowded here.

Lu Jiuyuan still had a sharp eye, and he could tell that Zhao Chang was after Du Jinning, and he didn't care that he was the master, Du Jinning was second.Seeing that there was not enough space, he hurriedly asked Shi Xiu and Peng Shicheng to join them, and the three of them moved their chairs to the side, leaving the middle seat for Zhao Chang and Du Jinning.

Qi Yuandao in the middle of the table began to see Zhao Chang running straight over to talk to Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan, and thought he was coming to say hello for Qi Bokun's sake; then when he saw the housekeeper moved all the chairs over, his face was as dark as a pot Bottom like.Qi Siyu's resentful eyes wished to turn into substance and shoot directly at Du Jinning's heart.

Du Jinning shook his head secretly.

Although Qi Yuandao and Zhao Chang have the friendship of teachers, and Zhao Chang will not do anything to Qi Yuandao for his own reputation, but sometimes it does not need to be upright to a person, there are many other ways .Can the Qi family control where Zhao Chang goes and who he wants to be with?Now that the grandfather and grandson put on such expressions, can Zhao Chang not be secretly annoyed?

Scholars, you are still too straightforward.

Qi Yuandao and Zhao Chang were the last to come in.When they arrive, everyone is considered complete.

Qi Yuandao began to talk about learning.

He mainly promotes his own theories and ideas.

In ancient times, there was no Internet, no TV, and even paper books were scarce. Apart from studying the Four Books and Five Classics under the guidance of the teacher, scholars had no chance to contact other ideas.

At this meeting, I heard Qi Yuandao say that "Qi is the root of heaven and earth" and "changes are born in the transition of yin and yang". Full of contradictory movements such as floating and sinking, rising and falling, movement and stillness.These theories made everyone very excited, as if a door was opened in front of them, allowing them to see a wider world.

At this time, apart from the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, only Qi Yuandao's high-pitched and resonant voice was ringing: "If the two are not standing together, one will not be visible, and if the one is not visible, the two will use their breath", "If the two are not standing, the one will be invisible "If one is not visible, then the two will be used."

"There is no reason for the isolation of things. They are not similarities and differences, bending and stretching. If they are invented from the beginning, they are not things. Things are completed when they start. , though things are not things.”

……

Not to mention other scholars, even Lu Jiuyuan and the others listened to it, and Zhao Chang's eyes lit up when he heard it. He looked at Qi Yuandao with reverence, exactly the same as when he looked at Du Jinning yesterday, even once. Nothing less than that.

Only Qi Bokun was absent-minded. Seeing Zhao Chang like that, he couldn't help but look at Du Jinning worriedly.

Qi Yuandao preached his own morality, and he talked for an hour and a half before he stopped, took a sip of tea, and said: "Just now is the simple opinion that someone has learned from studying for decades, if any senior brother If you hold different opinions, please refute and correct, I am very grateful."

Hearing this, Du Jinning couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

Most of what Qi Yuandao said were Zhang Zai's ideas, not his own.He himself has very little in-depth content based on Zhang Zai's theory. He is just an advocate rather than a theory proposer. Where does the "shallow opinion" come from?Don't be too thick-skinned this old guy.
