Cao Thief

Chapter 282 Ai Lian said

Perhaps it was the education he received in his previous life that made Cao Peng feel somewhat disgusted with the ancient academies.

In all the TV dramas, there is a bad old man with a bunch of children, shaking his head and shaking his head, so to speak, with a sour smell.

However, when he actually sat in the lecture hall, he had a different feeling.

Speaking of this, I have to mention one person, that is the contemporary master of Confucian classics, Zheng Xuan.In the ninth year of Yanxi, that is, in 166 AD, the first disaster of party imprisonment in the late Eastern Han Dynasty occurred.The cause of the incident was the conflict between scholars and eunuchs. In this disaster of party imprisonment, more than [-] famous scholars such as Li Ying, Chen Shi, and Du Mi were arrested in prison, and rewards were offered for the capture of fugitives.

Later, due to the support of the foreign relatives group, Emperor Huan ordered the release of more than [-] people including Li Ying.

But not long after, the eunuch group launched a counterattack, conspiring to frame Li Ying, Du Mi and others, and sent them to prison to be executed.In the first year of Emperor Ling Jianning, that is, in 168 A.D., all states and counties investigated party members, and all party members, their disciples, old officials, fathers, sons and brothers were all implicated. This is the so-called second disaster of party imprisonment.The so-called party imprisonment means that he is regarded as a party member and imprisoned, cutting off his way to become an official, and he cannot be an official.At that time, Zheng Xuan was an old official of Du Mi, and was appreciated and supported by Du Mi, so he was also regarded as a party member.

In the fourth year of Jianning, Zheng Xuan was imprisoned.

After being imprisoned, Zheng Xuan stayed behind closed doors and practiced in seclusion.

Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty were divided into modern and ancient.After Qin Shihuang burned books, some Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty recited some scriptures from memory, and recorded them in the official script, which was the common script at that time, and called them Jinwen Jing; , discovered the "Zuoshi Chunqiu" written in ancient script, together with some scriptures locked on the wall of the hole, and "Mao Shi" and other works, formed the School of Classical Classics.Since the Han Dynasty, the conflict between the ancient and modern schools has never ceased.

Zheng Xuanchu learned Jingyi and Gongyang Chunqiu from Wuyuan (personal name), which belonged to the Jinwen Jing school; later, he studied "Zhou Guan" and "Zuoshi Chunqiu" with Zhang Gongzu, which belonged to the Ancient Wen Jing school.He integrated the ancient and modern, and created the "Zheng Xue" school during the years of imprisonment, annotating hundreds of scriptures.As soon as Zheng Xuejing's article came out, it immediately caused a sensation.After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the scholars began to abandon the original modern and ancient classics, and instead advocated Zheng Xue's classics, and made it the new Confucianism of "the world's sect".

It is today, and fifteen spring and autumn have passed.

The classics of Zheng Xue have become the mainstream, and every class is taught based on the classics of Zheng Xue.

Hu Zhao was born in the fourth year of Xiping. During his study, he was also influenced by Zheng Xue's classics, so his explanations were all based on the "Lun" annotated by Zheng Xuan.However, Hu Zhao has a wide range of knowledge, and when explaining the scriptures, he will inevitably add his own views.

From shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, easy to understand.

Cao Peng found that what he listened to was very interesting...

When reading "Lun", it is also very interesting to cooperate with the very characteristic rhythm of the ancients, with yin and yang setbacks.

Unknowingly, one noon passed, Zheng Xuan took the small gavel and tapped the bronze bell lightly, which also heralded the end of get out of class.According to the rules of the academy, there is one hour in the noon and one hour in the afternoon, with half an hour in between for meals.By noon, all the schoolwork for the whole day is over.

Cao Peng and Sima Yi got up and walked out of the lecture hall.

The other students gathered together in twos and threes, eating and chatting.

There is a saying that don't talk when you eat, and don't talk when you sleep.

But for this mountain student, it seems that there are not so many rules.

"That Cao Peng, I heard that he is the imperial order?"

"Well, I inquired when I went outside the mountain yesterday, and Captain Qi is even older than our county magistrate... I also heard that this man surnamed Cao is quite famous, not an ordinary person."

"Since you are an official, why do you come to study again?"

"This... who knows? I guess he is also a high school student, and he wants to gain some fame from the teacher's school..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Cao Duwei is different from that person. Yesterday my father went to help him build a house, and he gave my father a piece of wild boar leg and a jar of wine. Cao Duwei is very kind. Seeing is the master who has experienced the world, how can he compare with that?"

The 'that' in the students' mouth is Sima Yi.

It can be seen that Sima Yi is not very popular in this academy.

At this moment, a student came in from the door, carrying two heavy food boxes.

"Come, come, Mr. Cao's treat... Hehe, his servant gave us two deer legs that he just hunted at noon. They are all roasted, come quickly, or they will be gone."

The lid of the food box was opened, and the meat was fragrant.

Although the mountain people can also hunt, to be honest, most of the prey they hunt have to be exchanged for daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt.

As a result, they have little chance to eat meat.

Several students hesitated for a moment, unable to bear the tangy smell of meat, stood up and came over.

Someone takes the lead, and immediately someone follows.In the blink of an eye, the courtyard became lively inside and outside, and the students ate with gusto.

"Youxue, why do you do this?"

Sima Yi and Cao Peng were having dinner together and couldn't help asking.

Perhaps, in his opinion, Cao Peng's behavior is unavoidable to please.

Cao Peng laughed and said, "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together. From now on, we will live here and have a better relationship, which is always good."

"Alone Better Together?"

After hearing this, Sima Yi couldn't help laughing!
--------------------------------

After the meal, Cao Peng and Sima Yi returned to the school again, obviously feeling differently.

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.Regardless of whether these mountain students really accepted Cao Peng, at least on the surface, they showed some kind of closeness.

"Captain Cao, thank you very much!"

"Yes, Captain Cao, has your house ever been repaired? If you need help, just ask."

"..."

Greetings like this one after another.

Even Zhou Qi, who had conflicts with Cao Peng, couldn't help nodding his head when he saw Cao Peng.

Cao Peng smiled and answered one by one, which made the students more enthusiastic.

Sima Yi frowned, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.He has been in this academy for a whole year, and he has not seen these students with such an attitude.Previously, he and the students of the mountain people were quite distinct, so they haven't made any friends so far.In other words, he didn't bother to deal with these mountain people at all.Yesterday, he told Cao Peng about the customs of the mountain people. Today, he found himself wanting to ask Cao Peng for advice. This is the way to get along with people... No wonder Cao Peng has such a reputation at such a young age.

He is also proud, far and strict, close and warm...

In Sima Yi's heart, he couldn't help admiring him secretly.

At this time, Hu Zhao walked into the lecture hall.

Seeing the extremely warm scene in this lecture hall, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"At noon, we talked about the Township Party.

Today is the end of the month. According to the rules, I will review your income for this month.During this month, we talked about "Shuowen", learned "Filial Piety", and explained "Lun"... So today, I want to review your article.Today's proposition is based on..."

Hu Zhao showed a sly smile.

"I know, you must think that I will make a proposition based on "On"."

As soon as Sima Yi's expression changed, Cao Peng's expression also changed.

"But I don't want you to be happy. Today, I will make a good article on the topic of the lotus pond outside the window."

There was a commotion in the lecture hall.

Cao Peng turned his head to look at Sima Yi, but saw Sima Yi with a bitter face, seemingly at a loss.

Hu Zhao is an interesting person.He told me yesterday that he knew what he was going to talk about today, and Sima Yi would definitely remind me...

Does this count as repairing the plank road in the open and keeping the warehouse in the dark?
Cao Peng couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

It's just that the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

Frowning and grasping the pen, revealing the color of pondering.

Sima Yi stared at the small lotus pond outside the window, dazed in a daze; and in the hall, there were even more students, scratching their heads, or thinking hard, in different shapes.

Sighing, Cao Peng thought to himself: Do you want to copy the ancient articles again?
He picked up the pen, and began to write silently on the paper laid out in front of him...

Speaking of which, I really want to thank Huang Yueying.Before that, Cao Peng couldn't get his hands on that dog crawling word.However, since last year, under the supervision of Huang Yueying, he began to copy the Fatie.Except for the time when Qu Yang was fighting fiercely in the middle, I have been practicing hard until now.Although it is not said to be a master of calligraphy, it can also be achieved.Moreover, after the Battle of Quyang, Cao Peng's calligraphy obviously had a more aggressive spirit.The stylus and silver hook are quite tricky, so that Huang Yueying also thinks that he has made great progress.

The flowers of plants and trees on land and water are very lovely.

I love the lotus as it emerges from the mud but is not stained, it is clean but not demonic, it is straight in the middle and the outside is straight, it does not spread or branch, its fragrance is far away and clear, its pavilions are clean and planted, it can be seen from a distance but not played with.

Chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; peony, the rich and noble of flowers; lotus, the gentleman of flowers.

After writing this, Cao Peng didn't know how to write it down.Tao Yuanming in the original text is still a little tadpole at this time, and there seems to be no one in the world who is famous for loving chrysanthemums.He hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, picked up his pen and continued writing.

The love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard; the love of lotus, who is the same as the giver;
After writing, he let out a long breath and put down the pen in his hand.Turning his head to look, Sima Yi was blushing, as if he was brewing feelings, while the others were either bowing their heads in deep thought, or looking at the lotus pond outside the window, at a loss for what to do.Hu Zhao sat behind the table, turning a blind eye to the appearance of all living beings in the hall.He was holding a volume of books, reading with gusto.But from the corner of his eyes, everything in the hall is clear at a glance.

Seeing Cao Peng write with a pen, Hu Zhao was startled.

When Cao Peng put down his pen, he showed doubts again.

As for Cao Peng, he focused on Sima Yi.

Cao's father and son, with outstanding literary talents, created An Wenfeng, and they were masters of a generation; on the contrary, Sima Yi and his son did not seem to have left anything special.Apart from the corrupt Eastern and Western Jins, Sima's greatest contribution seems to be the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the Chaos of the Five Husbands.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Sima's evaluation in history is far inferior to Cao's father and son.

Looking at Sima Yi now, Cao Peng also feels that, at least in terms of literary talent, Sima Yi is not good at it.However, he enjoyed Sima Yi's face flushed and holding back his words.After all, it is also an interesting thing to appreciate the deflation of the famous Tsukatora in later generations.

"Youxue, have you finished writing?"

Sima Yi held back for a while, then turned to see Cao Peng smiling at him, and couldn't help being surprised.

Cao Peng nodded, put his finger to his lips, and hissed.Pointing to the pen and paper in front of Sima Yi, he smiled slightly and said nothing.

Sima Yi couldn't help being shocked in his heart.

How long does it take?

Even less than half a stick of incense, Cao Peng finished writing!
The speed of writing and thinking is too amazing. I am afraid that the teacher may not be able to do this.

At the same time, I cursed in my heart: Since you have such a good literary talent, why did you come here to learn?Doesn't this make me wait ugly?
A never-before-seen jealousy quietly planted a seed in my heart.

He smiled, lowered his head again, and ignored Cao Peng.

"Cao Peng, are you finished?"

Hu Zhao asked suddenly.

Cao Peng quickly bowed and stood up, "Mr. Hui, the student has finished."

"Bring it to me."

Under the amazed eyes of all the students, Cao Peng stood up and presented the article in front of Hu Zhao respectfully.

Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes and glanced first.

He raised his head, looked at Cao Peng and said, "The evil spirit is too heavy."

"what?"

"In your strokes, there is too much evil spirit!" Hu Zhao said in a deep voice: "But thinking about it, it has something to do with your time in the army. You showed your murderous aura, which made your calligraphy unacceptable even though it was neat. Youxue, from now on It is necessary to cultivate awe-inspiring spirit to calm down this evil spirit."

Cao Peng raised his face and said respectfully: "Students are taught."

Hu Zhao sighed and began to examine the article.

Just 75 words, but every word entered his heart.At first, Hu Zhao was expressionless, but gradually, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He raised his head and looked at Cao Peng.

"Youxue, starting tomorrow, you need to wear white clothes."

This sentence also represented that Hu Zhao officially recognized Cao Peng.

Sima Yi's face changed, his jealousy became more serious, and at the same time, he became more curious.

What did Cao Peng write in this short period of time?Is the teacher so satisfied?He was allowed to listen to the lecture in white all of a sudden?

Lowering his head and looking at the article he wrote just now, Sima Yi's face became a little ugly.

At the same time, he felt a little uneasy.I don't know if today's article can catch the eyes of the teacher?If you can't, you can lose your adults!

--------------------------

In April of the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao personally led an army into Lindahe.

General Shi Huan captured the Hanoi army, and then he and Cao Ren pinched the shooting dog and killed the former Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang's general Sui Gu.Afterwards, Cao Cao crossed the river and continued to besiege Shegou.The former Hanoi chief Shi Xuehong led his troops to surrender.In Hanoi, there is a saying that "the south resists the danger of the tiger's prison, and the north relies on the solidity of the road".After Cao Cao captured Hanoi County, he appointed Zhang Liao as the prefect of Hanoi, and led his troops to station Shegou to strengthen control.

However, at this moment, an emergency came from Guangling.

Sun Ce crossed the river and stormed Jiangshui Temple, and his troops came to Guangling County.But Sun He led his troops to capture Jiangshui Temple, sent troops northward, and went straight to Hailing County.

For a while, the situation in Huainan suddenly became tense.
