Dao Fruit

"Have you heard that Wu Meng and Sun Xun will become disciples tomorrow? They are so lucky that they will become the prime minister's disciples now."

Soon after Qiu Yan arrived, what he said after entering the academy had spread throughout the academy, causing a lot of discussion.

"It's no wonder. The two of them stood firmly beside the Marquis Dingguo when the situation was unclear before, so they naturally won the favor of the Marquis. Now that they are officially accepted into the family, it is only natural."

"Isn't it? Wu Meng is easy to say. I heard that his father, the Wu Jiedushi, also stood on the side of the Marquis Dingguo, and even had a lot of unpleasantness with several surrounding military towns because of this. On the contrary, Sun Xun, his Sun family is one of the many families that were unfavorable to the Marquis Dingguo before, and the old Marquis Sun even has the intention of leading all parties. So it's not easy for Sun Xun to withstand the pressure under such circumstances."

"Yes, I heard that the Sun family even sent people to urge him, but he didn't respond. In the end, his parents were implicated. According to rumors, he seemed to be expelled from the clan, and the family's land was taken away, and he was sent to exile. The miasma-ridden Lingnan area has suffered a lot. "

"Now it is considered that the bitterness has ended and the sweetness has come. Dingguo Hou is in power and controls the sacred artifacts of the country. Sun Xun is also rising with the tide. It is estimated that the impact on the Sun family will be very strong. "

"Yes, the current situation is that not only the Sun family, but also several other major families have been forced to guide their children into the farmland. I heard that there are special people to investigate. These people are from the new army and cannot be easily bribed. "

"After the order to go to the fields, there must be more means. I heard that the court has already made moves in the local area. It seems to be aimed at the clan family law. Some people also say that it is to run an official school. I don’t know whether it is true or false. "

"How can I tell whether the current news is true or false? "

... Those children from official and noble families are very concerned about the developments in the court. So after learning the news, the first thing they pay attention to is the change in Sun Xun’s status in the Sun family after he officially becomes a disciple, and the impact it brings.

In contrast, the few poor scholars have different concerns.

Most of the poor scholars in this academy came here in the past two days. They are naturally not as well-informed as the nobles and officials, and cannot leave to see the situation clearly. Therefore, not many people come to study now.

Although many scholars and scholars have already left their jobs to study, they are ultimately trapped by practical problems and dare not do things that will ruin their future. However, a lot of them have gathered in the past few days.

"I heard that the Master will open the Hall of Sages tomorrow."

"I wonder which sage's teachings the Zhixing Academy will follow."

"It may cause a dispute. No matter which sage it is, there must be students and grandchildren. There are other academies that inherit the orthodox tradition and doctrines, and it will be a confusing situation."

"The Way of Knowledge and Action was originally created by the Master, how can it be inherited by sages? Besides, there is a rumor among the scholars now that the Master's achievements in Confucianism are not profound, so those human classics are all military books. Because of this, it will be difficult to distinguish them at that time."

"Speaking of it, Zhixing Xing Academy is now ready for the ages. With Qiu Xue as his disciple and the master ascending to the throne, he must have a focus. In the future, he may have to dabble in the imperial examination. You see, with the new law, the new school was included in the imperial examination soon. I think the same will be true for the way of knowing and doing in the future. We should learn it first now. After we understand the classics, there will be endless benefits. "

"That's true. Qiu Xue is ready for everything, but the matter of the Sage Hall is still incomplete. It depends on how the master will deal with it tomorrow. Maybe he will erase the last flaw in one fell swoop! "

Amidst the discussions, time passed, and the next day came in a blink of an eye.

On this day, many people in the academy came to watch the ceremony to see Wu Meng and Sun Xun enter the door. Even Master Qingliang, Master Taixu, and Feihu sent people over.

In fact, the ceremony of paying respect to a teacher remains the same in essence. It is not as complicated as the emperor's enthronement ceremony, so there is nothing to see. The real meaning is only in the hearts of the apprentice and the teacher.

After drinking the tea served by the two, Qiu Yan got up and led the two to the deep part of the courtyard, near the viewing platform.

As soon as the interested people saw it, they knew that they were going to the Sage Hall.

The Sage Hall is a must for the academy, so when Zhixing Academy was built, it was planned out early, and the area of ​​the hall is really not small, second only to the Hall of Discussion

The Hall of Discussion is used for the future disciples of the academy to preach, teach, debate and exchange ideas. Just looking at the area, it is much larger than the gardens of ordinary courtyards and houses. If arranged properly, it can accommodate two or three hundred people.

The size of the Sage Hall can be compared with the Hall of Discussion, and its space can be imagined. However, since the day it was built, the door of the Sage Hall has always been closed, and because of its solemnity and majesty, there is a kind of shocking artistic conception, and few people dare to approach it.

Of course, some time ago, there were few people here, so there was no need to pay too much attention. Now there are many people gathered here. Under the example of Zheng Yun, Meng Sanyi and others, these people will not easily approach the Sage Hall.

Therefore, now Qiu Yan led the two new students, followed by Zheng Yun and Meng Sanyi, and did not stop others. He immediately led people to follow, and a team walked towards the Sage Hall in a mighty manner.

In the distance, on the rooftop, Fei Huan and others stood on the pavilion and looked from a distance, their eyes also falling on the Hall of Saints.

Due to their identity and school, they could not join in person, but they sent people to express their concern. Even people from outside the world like Fei Huan were very concerned about how the sage hall was arranged. After all, Qiu Yan's status is different now, and he has to pay attention to the Taoist sect as he is about to take action.

Coupled with the huge power behind Qiu Yan, whether it is secular power or extraordinary personality, ordinary monks cannot fight against him. Even if he reaches his level, he still has to avoid his edge.

"I don't know what's the mystery in that hall of saints. Marquis Dingguo is not a simple person, and he will not do anything to invite other saints into the hall." Beside, Feilong was also watching, with a calm face and a thoughtful look in his eyes. , "It's just that he chose this time to open the Saint Hall. I don't know what the deep meaning is. Could it be that he is sending some signal?"

Qiu Yan has a different status now, and his every move attracts attention. He also vaguely represents a faction and has a great influence on the changes in the world's forces. Therefore, many of his actions will be scrutinized and speculated on by others, trying to find out the reasons. Deep meaning.

In fact, Qiu Yan only said yesterday that he was determined to open the Saint Hall, and today the news has spread throughout the major forces in the capital, and has spread through many channels to all parts of the world. Today, among the many nobles and officials, , there are many people who shoulder the mission. If you have the opportunity, you must follow him throughout the process to see what Qiu Yan means and what mysteries are in the Sage Hall, and try your best to spread the news back as soon as possible.

Therefore, on the surface, it seems that Qiu Yan is just leading the students to open the Sage Hall, but in fact, the entire capital's attention is focused on this. Even the new emperor who has just ascended the throne has received the news and asked people to come to watch the ceremony. If not For reasons of identity and safety, he had no time to make arrangements, so he had to come in person.

Squeak.

The door that had been closed for a short time was gently pushed open with a soft sound, and the inside of the Saint Hall was dark. This is no wonder, after all, it had been sealed for a long time, and the situation inside could not be seen from the outside. The light Naturally, it is difficult to penetrate in. There are only a few strands, but they are not enough to illuminate the entire hall.

However, as Qiu Yan stepped forward and patted the door gently, a "crackling" sound was immediately heard in the hall, and the sound spread everywhere. Suddenly, the windows that were originally closed were opened one after another. , the light fell unhindered into the hall, immediately making the scene inside extremely clear.

This was obviously a mechanism technique, and it also attracted the attention of the people around. But the next moment, their minds were drawn to the scene in the hall. The scene presented here surprised and surprised everyone who saw it. I can't care about anything else anymore.

"What's going on? There are no clay sculptures in this Hall of Saints. They are all portraits. And the number of portraits and the people listed above..."

Even the four students and disciples following Qiu Yan were surprised and swayed after seeing the scene in the Sage Hall.

The reason is that the scene in this Sage Hall is beyond their expectation. The four of them, except Sun Xun, have never actually entered any Sage Hall, but they have heard about it and know it. The layout of the Sage Hall, the rumored layout, is completely different from the Sage Hall in front of you.

In the rather empty hall, there were portraits standing one after another. The people painted on them were of different kinds, some were solemn, some were elegant, but there were also some people who were crudely dressed but had extraordinary features...

Under these people, there is often a piece of writing in small regular script, which is written about their life, origin, school of thought, and what they stand for.

"These, could it be that the portraits of many saints are hung here? No!"

Among the crowd outside the door, there are many nobles and nobles who are well-informed. Naturally, they can clearly see that the human figure in the portrait is lifelike. If it were not suspended above and with the background of paper, at first glance, it would not be obvious. They would think it was a real person resurrected, and they could vaguely capture the breath of flesh and blood. It was obviously an extraordinary brushwork, but it just overlapped with many figures in their memories, and it seemed extraordinary.

"In these portraits, there are not only Confucian sages, but also figures from various other schools. This man is dressed as an old farmer, but his aura is clear. Could it be that Xu Sheng..."

...
