Wentang

Chapter 735
After leaving the palace, Yue Shan went home first, took the copied oracle bone inscriptions with him, and took two more clear oracle bones to the academy.

"What did you say? These are Yin Shang bones? The lines on them are Yin Shang characters? Oracle bone inscriptions?" Wang Ji was completely shocked after hearing his words.

"Calm down, it's an oracle bone inscription from the Yin Shang Dynasty. This oracle bone can be regarded as a page of a book." Yue Shan said.

"Calm down? Can I be calm? This is an ancient relic from the Shang Dynasty. Do you know what it means?" Wang Ji said excitedly.

"Then get excited first, and we'll talk when you're done." Yue Shan laughed.

"You can still be so indifferent, is it because you don't know how important this thing is, or is it because your xinxing cultivation is so high?" Wang Ji said.

"Of course I know how important this thing is, otherwise I wouldn't bring it to you, but I've been excited for a long time." Yue Shan said.

"Are you already excited? That is to say, you have discovered these Yin Shang oracle bones a long time ago? You just took them out now. Do you think you are worthy of our friendship?" Wang Ji said angrily:

"Even the translation has been researched, okay, let's break up the relationship. From today on, you will follow your Yangguan way, and I will take my single-plank bridge."

"Uh..." Yue Shan didn't expect to cause misunderstandings in this regard, and quickly explained: "These oracle bones were discovered by the medical school yesterday, and I only saw them yesterday."

"Then what are these translations?" Wang Ji asked, waving the stack of papers.

"Would you believe me if I told you that I have read the translation of oracle bone inscriptions?" Yue Shan said cautiously.

"????" Wang Ji was stunned for a moment, and he also calmed down, trying to ask: "Book of the Three Emperors?"

"Yes, the Book of the Three Emperors." Yue Shan said.

"There are even these things in the Book of the Three Emperors?" Wang Ji asked in surprise.

"There is everything there, even if I spend my whole life, I'm afraid I won't be able to take out one billionth of it." Yue Shan said.

Wang Ji really wants to ask what you have seen, can you tell me, even if it is just a simple talk.But then dismissed the idea.

This thing is taboo, it's better not to touch it.I don't want to say whether the gods will blame him or not, the emperor must be very angry and even do something wrong, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

"Since you've known Oracle Bone Inscriptions for a long time, why didn't you show them before?"

Yue Shan smiled wryly and said, "I forgot. I didn't think of oracle bone inscriptions until I saw Yin Shang oracle bones. And I only remember more than 1000 translations of oracle bone inscriptions. I'm afraid I have to gather scholars from all over the country to study the others."

"It's not just the oracle bone inscriptions. I can't remember many things. I can only remember them when I encounter them."

Wang Ji nodded, not doubting the reason at all, and even thought it was normal.The Book of the Three Emperors is too heaven-defying. It should be the old god who sealed part of his memory, which can only be broken when he sees the relevant items.

"There are several of these bones at the medical school."

"23 yuan, two of which I sent to the palace. But I have asked them to urgently find out whether there are similar oracle bones outside, and where were these oracle bones found." Yue Shan said:
"I have obtained the permission of the sage. As long as I find the location of the discovery, I can organize people to excavate it immediately. There will definitely be more oracle bones, and even other things."

Wang Ji said again: "What should we do now? Call people?"

Yue Shan said: "Yes, call for people. The focus is on historians, calligraphers, experts in ancient characters, and everyone in the field of gold and stone."

"At that time, the imperial court will pay for the establishment of a museum of Chinese characters, specializing in the study of various ancient texts."

Wang Ji said excitedly: "It would be great if the imperial court is willing to support it. I will spread the hero posts and invite famous people to participate in the grand event."

If this matter is done, it will be a great blessing to Xinxue.

Don't you ancient schools say that you respect the ancients, and don't you say that the true meaning of the ancient sages is in your hands?Now the writings and books of Yin Shang are in our hands, let's see how I will cut you down.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered another thing, and said, "Can the Four Books and Five Classics plan be implemented?"

Yue Shan didn't expect that he would suddenly jump the topic to this matter.

The year before last, Wang Ji planned to replace the current Seven Classics with the Four Books and Five Classics as the core of Confucianism. Yue Shan considered that he would launch a war against Goguryeo soon. This move might cause a fierce backlash from the ancient schools and lead to domestic instability.

So he stopped this plan, but now he brought up the old matter again, but after thinking about it, it is indeed time to persecute the ancient school again.

Over the years, the academy and the entire academic and political system have cultivated a large number of talents. Although the overall strength is not as good as that of the ancient school, they are no longer afraid of the opponent's challenge.

Yue Shan even hoped that they would pick up their picks, so that the new talents educated by the academy could take their place and accelerate the decline of the ancient school.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, the oracle bone inscriptions just happened to be unearthed, which can form a continuous blow to the ancient school."

Wang Ji said excitedly: "Okay, I will contact the famous Xinxue to start action immediately."

After handing over the matter of recruiting manpower to Wang Ji, Yue Shan did not stay idle. He found Liang Yunhui, the head of the logistics department of the college, and opened a compound in a corner of the college.

Considering that there will be subdivision of subjects in the future or that the number of additional classrooms for students will not be sufficient, or other uses, Yue Shan built many independent courtyards in the academy in advance.

It's just that most of these yards are in a sealed state, and they can be used directly when they are used, eliminating the trouble of temporary house repairs.

Just like now, just activate one directly.

There are four buildings in this yard, one with three floors and the third with two floors, which is more than enough to be used as an office for studying oracle bone inscriptions.

After that is the cleaning and decoration.

The "Huaxia Characters Research Institute" plaque inscribed by Yue Shan himself was hung, and all the internal tables, chairs, benches, bookcases, cabinets and boxes for oracle bones, etc. must be made on site.

However, these projects are much smaller than building a house, and it only took half a month to complete the decoration without lack of money, waiting for the arrival of celebrities.

Ouyang Xun was the first celebrity to be invited. He was already in his 80s and was carried into the academy.

Even if he could treat him normally in front of the emperor, when facing such an old man, Yue Shan would personally greet him at the gate.

"Ouyang led the way, why did you come here in person? If there is something to do, just let someone send me a message." Yue Shan saluted.

"Hehe...don't dare to act. The old man is inconvenient to move around. Please forgive me for being unable to show courtesy." Ouyang Xun said while sitting on the wheelchair tremblingly.

"Oh, you've broken me, how can an elder salute a junior. Who is this?" Yue Shan hurriedly turned sideways, only received half the salute, and then looked at the [-]-year-old boy next to him and said.

"This is the dog Ouyang Tong." Ouyang Xun cheered up and introduced, and then said to the young man, "Hurry up and salute Xia Guogong."

Ouyang Tong respectfully saluted Yue Shan and said, "Tong pays homage to Duke Xia."

Yue Shanquan accepted his gift, and while looking at him, he thought, looking at the age of the father and son, Ouyang Xun's son, who was only 70 years old, can only be said to be old and vigorous.

But he had heard about Ouyang Tong, not in this life, but in the past.

This man not only inherited his father's calligraphy skills, but also had a particularly strong administrative ability to the prime minister, but later he opposed Wu Zetian's establishment of Wu Chengsi as the prince and was framed and executed.

Moreover, the descriptions of him in history are basically positive, and he is a useful talent.

Thinking of this, he praised from the bottom of his heart: "This son has a dignified appearance and an air of leisure. He will surely achieve great achievements in the future. Ouyang will be even more blessed."

Ouyang Xun, who was still in low spirits, seemed to be on a stimulant, and he became excited all of a sudden, and said a little excitedly: "Mr. Xia Guoxiu wants to lie to the old man who is about to die."

Yue Shan knew what he was thinking, he probably thought he was giving orders to his son, it seemed that he was talking too much.He could only helplessly say: "If you can work hard and stick to your heart, you will be able to make a big difference."

"Haha... I would like to borrow your good words." Ouyang Xun laughed happily, and then said to Ouyang Tongdao: "Hurry up and thank Duke Xia."

Ouyang Tong, who was young and mature, was also very excited to be praised by the first magic stick, and saluted: "Xie Xia Guogong, Tong will live up to your high expectations and study hard to serve the country."

At this time Ouyang Xun didn't know what to think, and suddenly said: "Xia Guogong is a great master in the literary world, I want to let the dog worship under your sect, what do you think?"

Ouyang Tong also showed an expectant expression.

Yue Shan quickly shook his head and said: "The situation in the court should be more clear than I am, accepting him as a disciple will only harm him."

Ouyang Xun also saw Yue Shan's evaluation of his youngest son so high that he thought of it temporarily, and didn't think too much about it.After such a reminder from him, he suddenly realized that it might not be a good thing for Ouyang Tong to worship him as his teacher.

The reason is that Yueshan's reputation is too great, and the faction is also very powerful.The few people he recommended were more powerful than the other, and they all stood out at a young age and were in high positions.

The emperor was very afraid, and used the title of Xia Guogong to force him to resign. If he recruited disciples again and again, and all the recruits were heroes...it would not necessarily be a good thing for these heroes.

The imperial court will not persecute them, but it will definitely create obstacles to your official career and suppress you.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Xun had no choice but to give up this idea, and regretfully said: "It's the dog who doesn't have that blessing."

Seeing Ouyang Tong's disappointed and frustrated look, Yue Shan was also very helpless.It's not that he doesn't want to take over the land, it's really impossible.

Liu Rengui, Su Dingfang, Ma Zhou, Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, Wang Xuance... Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows what these names mean.

And these people were all recommended by Yue Shan, either his disciples or half disciples.

There is also the future prime minister Xu Yushi, who is the eldest uncle of his disciple Feng Yi.The future prime minister Hao Chujun is Xu Yushi's nephew, that is, Feng Yi's half nephew...

This is not counting the many talents cultivated by the new learning in these years... Looking at this long list, he really can't accept apprentices.

But he didn't want to miss such an excellent disciple. Thinking of this, his heart moved, and an idea popped up, and he said quickly:
"I don't know how much you know about Wang Wugong? If you want, I can recommend Lingzi to join his disciples."

Ouyang Xun was shocked, and said: "Xia Guogong is talking about Wang Ji, Wang Wugong, the principal of Weishui Academy?"

"It's him." Yue Shan said.

"I can't ask for it, and I have to trouble Duke Xia again." Ouyang Xun said happily.

Ouyang Tong also showed joy.Although he cannot worship Yueshan as his teacher, Wang Ji is also a well-known Confucianist, and the Annotation of Zhouyi is the core classic of Xinxue.

Moreover, he is also the core figure of Xinxue, in charge of Weishui Academy, the spokesperson of Yueshan, and one of the de facto speakers of Xinxue.

I don't know how many people want to worship under his sect, but he is stricter in accepting disciples, so far he doesn't have a formal disciple.

However, the situation with Yueshan's recommendation is naturally different, and the probability of success is very high.

He is very satisfied to be able to worship under such a master.Moreover, the relationship between Yue Shan and Wang Ji is well known, so worshiping Wang Ji as a teacher is equivalent to half of Yue Shan's disciple, not much worse than worshiping Yue Shan.

To be honest, I never even thought about it before.

Ouyang's family used to have a big business, but unfortunately because of the rebellion of their ancestors, they were punished by the clan, and only Ouyang Xun survived.The kindness of the ancestors has long been exhausted, and it is almost impossible to worship under the name of the top Confucianism.

I didn't expect to come to Weishui Academy with my father. This is really a surprise.

After that, Yue Shan asked someone to invite Wang Ji to come over, and he chatted with Ouyang and his son.

Although Wang Ji hadn't been asked for his opinion yet, everyone knew that the matter was likely to be done.With this relationship, the atmosphere suddenly changed, a little more cordial.

After chatting for a few words, Ouyang Xun couldn't help but bring the topic back to the original purpose: "Duke Xia, do you dare to ask whether it is true that the Yin Shang ancient relics came out?"

Yue Shan said sternly: "How dare I make fun of this matter, rate Geng and come with me, you will know after seeing it with your own eyes." After speaking, he pushed the wheelchair to the place where the oracle bones were stored.

Seeing the oracle bone and the oracle bone inscription with his own eyes, Ouyang Xun was so excited that he burst into tears, saying that it would be worth it even if he died now if he could see the oracle bone inscription.

After that, he expressed his willingness to join in and was willing to donate all the books on ancient characters in his home to the academy for research purposes.

Yue Shan naturally accepted it happily.

Not long after Wang Ji came over, Yue Shan introduced Ouyang Tong to him.

If you want to say who in this world is the most superstitious about Yue Shan's abilities, I don't know if Wang Ji ranks first, but he is definitely at the forefront.

Hearing that Yue Shan had such a high opinion of Ouyang Tong, he immediately became interested.After testing his knowledge, he accepted this apprentice on the spot.

Ouyang and his son were very happy to see the success of their apprenticeship.After chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left, saying that he was going back to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony, and he would come to apprenticeship on an auspicious day.

Wang Ji himself is a master at studying the Book of Changes, so he set a good date right now.

Just as Wang Ji succeeded in recruiting an apprentice here, the latest news came from the medical school over there, and it was discovered that the oracle bone of the Yin Shang had been found.

He Dachun said proudly: "The source of each batch of medicinal materials in the medical school will be clearly recorded to prevent anyone from shoddy, and the keel is no exception."

"We followed the records and quickly found the source of the Yin Shang oracle bones, which were in Anyang County, Daoxiang Prefecture, Henan Province. In order to verify the authenticity of this news, I brought in another batch of keels from Anyang, and found another 25 suspected Yin Shang oracle bones. .”

Anyang, Henan?Sure enough, Yue Shan looked as expected.

He is too familiar with this name, one of the eight ancient capitals of China, known as the ancient capital of seven dynasties.

The most important thing is that this is the ancient capital of Yin and Shang, the birthplace of Zhouyi, and it is said that King Wen of Zhou deduced Zhouyi here.

The earliest oracle bone inscriptions in the previous life were unearthed here, so this place is also known as the hometown of oracle bone inscriptions, and the oracle bone inscriptions in this life were also unearthed here.

The question now is how many Yin Shang oracle bones were unearthed, and where did these oracle bones go.It is conceivable that this is not the first batch, and we must quickly find a way to protect it.

Thinking of this, he quickly said: "Immediately order, Xiangzhou... no, collect the keels unearthed from the entire Henan Road, and recover as much as possible the keels that have flowed out of the Henan Road before. No matter what price you pay, you have to do this. matter."

He Dachun hesitated for a moment and said: "Dean, spending a lot of money will only make people who don't know the truth mistakenly believe that the keel of Henan Road has magical effects. Not only will it not have a protective effect, but it will also cause more people to covet it."

"It's best to collect it quietly, or spread a rumor that the keel of Henan Road has chronic toxins, and eating too much will kill you or even affect your fertility."

Yue Shan froze for a moment, then fell into deep thought.What He Dachun said was indeed reasonable. If someone charged a high price for the keel and didn't explain the reason, there would definitely be people who suspected that this thing was a panacea.

But spreading rumors is not a wise choice, and others are not stupid, why do you accept poison?Or in bulk?It must be on purpose...

Tell everyone the truth, saying that this is an ancient relic of the Yin Shang Dynasty with high research value, please return it?

It sounds too ridiculous. Everyone will only suspect that this thing has a magical effect, but will not believe that it is an ancient relic of the Shang Dynasty, and it will alert the ancient school in advance.

Headache.

After thinking about it, he could only helplessly say: "Think of some excuse to collect it quietly, don't make it a big deal, and we can talk about it after we go to Anyang County to check."

He Dachun said: "Okay, I will buy it on the grounds that the academy's research requires a lot of keels, and try not to disturb other people as much as possible."
