I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 120

Guozijian, the highest institution of learning in Jin Dynasty.Founded in the Yuanwu period of Emperor Taizu, there were only [-] students at first, all of whom were the sons of the clan and meritorious officials at that time.Later, it was changed to enroll the children of officials of the seventh grade and above.

There is one person in the prison for offering sacrifices to wine, and one person under his command is the master book and one recorder, who are in charge of various official schools, such as Guozixue, Taixue, Simenxue, Shuxue, and Mathematics.There are quotas for doctors, teaching assistants, and students in each government school.

As Guozijian Jijiu, although this position is only from the third grade, it has always been held by a very prestigious Confucianism, otherwise it would not be able to convince the public.

The current Guozijian Jijiu, the prince Taishi Zhou Yi, nicknamed "Mr. Shanyang", is a great Confucian in the country, and he is also familiar with the Five Classics, and has a high reputation.

He used to be Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Zhongcheng of Yushi.He was an upright official, and later became the prince's teacher. He taught the prince's Confucian classics for six years, and there are countless other descendants of princes and grandchildren.The real peaches and plums are everywhere.

And this Zhou Jijiu is extremely rigorous in his studies. If he dares to slack off in his class, even the crown prince has beaten the imperial ruler.
Even now that he is the head of the Imperial Academy Jijiu and the head of the first academy, he still insists on teaching. Even Fu Balang, a student of the Imperial Academy, has a few lessons every month that Zhou Jijiu personally teaches. .

Whenever this Zhou Jijiu gave a lecture, it was the most difficult time for Fu Balang, because of this gentleman's class, he was sleepy and couldn't sleep.

Or dare not sleep.

"The Master said: 'The sky is selfless, the earth is selfless, and the sun and the moon are selfless. Serving these three to serve the world, this is called the three selflessness." This is to regard "sky" as a value that is related to human affairs Or explain it as an example that I can follow. From this point of view, the sage cultivates virtue and matches the sky, which can help the heaven and the earth to cultivate all things, and "the heaven and the earth participate", which is inherited from Zhou Gong.

On the podium, Zhou Da Jijiu, who was in his sixtieth year, was dressed in a green shirt, with gray beard and hair, but he was full of energy, and his lecture voice was full of vigor.

"Outside, come in and sit down and listen."

All the students looked back, but they saw a young gentleman standing outside the classroom, wearing a scarlet robe that officials above the fourth rank can wear, with a headband, tall and handsome, standing at the door and listening to the inside. Zhou Jijiu gave lectures and listened very carefully.

All the living beings immediately exclaimed, "Marquis Wu'an?"

Qilang and Balang were also surprised: "Third brother?"

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fu Jinchuan walked into the classroom, first bowed deeply, and then took the last seat in the classroom.

"quiet."

Zhou Jijiu shouted, and all the creatures immediately returned to the state just now.

"A gentleman must not cultivate his body; if he thinks of self-cultivation, he must not ignore his relatives; if he thinks of his relatives, he must not be ignorant of others; if he wants to know others, he must not be ignorant of heaven." The "heaven" here has a transcendent meaning.This is talking about the connection between "self-cultivation" and "knowledge of the sky", taking "knowledge of the sky" as the premise of "self-cultivation", which is different from Yasheng's "knowledge of the sky."

From the beginning to the end, Fu Jinchuan listened very carefully, and sometimes he would silently repeat what his husband said.

"The day is going downhill, and the class is not over yet." Pang Yun, who was holding a wooden box outside the classroom, complained.

Jiang Wudao: "This is the Imperial College, where do you think it is?"

Pang Yun said: "I understand why Balang doesn't like coming here, it's too boring."

While the two were talking, they saw a group of sentient beings coming out, among them were Fu Qilang and Fu Balang.

"Schiro, Hachiro."

Hachiro saw the two of them coming directly, and said, "Brother San asked me to fetch the wooden box, is this the one?"

After all, holding the box and hurried in again.

"Meet Mr. Zhou."

At this time, there were only two people left in the classroom, and Fu Jinchuan was deeply arrested.

"Why do you have time to see me, an old man?" Zhou Jijiu asked with a smile.

"The student will go to Yangzhou, Huainan Road in the next few days, so I came to say goodbye to Mr. Fu Jinchuan." Fu Jinchuan said solemnly.

Zhou Yi smiled and nodded, "You are the governor of Yangzhou, and you have great power and responsibility. You should also be diligent in state affairs and not slack off. You are a general, and you don't need to go deep into the classics, but you need to continue to study the art of war and strategy, so don't be proud Complacent. Especially when you became famous at a young age and made great achievements, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

Fu Jinchuan said solemnly: "Students want to be taught."

Then Fu Balang ran in, and Fu Jinchuan took the wooden box and handed it to Zhou Jijiu: "The student knows that Mr. is upright and never accepts private gifts, but Mr. must accept this thing."

When Zhou Jijiu saw the box, he frowned slightly, thinking that Fu Sanlang didn't know my temper, but after hearing this, he became interested in what was inside the box.

When Fu Jinchuan opened the box, he saw that there was a silver bowl inside, but the decoration on it was very unique, not a common style in Shangjing.

"This is?"

"The student won six silver bowls used by Tuoba Chide, the lord of the Qingtang Dynasty, under the city of Shule. Two were offered to the ancestors, two were presented to His Majesty, one was given to His Royal Highness, and this one was given to Mr.

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Hahaha, great."

Although this gentleman is a great Confucian, he is from Guanzhong. He has heard a lot about the troubles caused by the Qing Tang Dynasty in Longshang Hexi. Military.

Then Zhou Yi and Fu Jinchuan walked around the Imperial College, talking about what they had seen and heard about the war in Hexi, and they didn't leave until sunset.

"You are the governor of Yangzhou. You have a high position and authority. You must not be careless in dealing with things, especially in Yangzhou. The situation in Yangzhou is complicated. I have an old friend's grandson who is also my student. I have little ambition to serve as a soldier. However, if you go to Yangzhou for generations of civil servants from his family, the governor's mansion will not You need a assistant. I will recommend him to you, it can be regarded as a helping hand for you, and it can be regarded as experience for him.”

"Thank you, sir, for your recommendation, students should use it."

Fu Jinchuan went out as the governor, and it is impossible for one person to take care of everything in Yangzhou's governor's mansion.Therefore, a lot of staff assistance is needed, such as sorting out documents, making suggestions, supervising affairs, etc.

And some of these aides can be directly recommended as officials. Among them, the Yangzhou Dudufu has officials such as long history, judges, and joining the army, all of whom can be recommended by Fu Jinchuan.

Although I don't know who Zhou Jijiu recommended, Fu Jinchuan can be sure that this gentleman will not introduce him to a mediocre talent.

So he just accepted it with a smile, and then said goodbye and left.

Fu Jinchuan didn't go back to the Princess Mansion, but directly went back to the Duke's Mansion. After all, he left Beijing tomorrow, and he must say goodbye to Aye Niang and her family tonight.

When Fu Jinchuan returned to the mansion, the main hall of the Duke's mansion had also set up a banquet, and they were waiting for him.

"I'm sorry, Aye, Auntie, it's been a long time."

"Take a seat."

"Yes."

Naturally, the family banquet was for close relatives, at the banquet, Fu Maoxiu hardly spoke, but Yang Jinhua gave a lot of instructions to his son and daughter-in-law.

On the side of the Duke's Mansion, except for Shiro who is about to get married, Goro and Liulang can already be regarded as adults, and they have also decided to go to Yangzhou with Fu Jinchuan.

After all, he is an official abroad, and there is no one he can trust more than his brothers at home.

Probably because of Fu Maoxiu's return, Hachiro was more disciplined and didn't dare to argue about going to Yangzhou with his third brother.

After dinner, Zhao Yuanshu went to the backyard to talk with his mother-in-law and sister-in-law Li Zhaoqiong. Fu Maoxiu called his eldest son and Sanlang to the ancestral hall.

After visiting the pilgrimage, Fu Maoxiu looked at the ancestral tablet and said: "It has been a hundred years since the Fu family was granted the state government by the ancestor King Zhongwu. With you, A Weng, it’s all the same. Only your second uncle was the Sima of Runzhou, and he was an official in the south of the Yangtze River. Apart from that, it was probably only when your great-grandfather and King Wuning of Zhongshan went south together. Before the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. Jianghuai, whether it is Jiangnan or Lianghuai, is a good place, rich and prosperous, it is the biggest honey pot in the world, and it is easy to soften people's bones."

"Zhao Wenjie can be regarded as a veteran. He used to be the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu, acting governor of the state, etc., and he has experienced military exploits. How about going to Huainan? Now I don't know if I can take up the sword and go to the frontier to be a general. The enemies you have to face, go to such a prosperous place, you can’t even tell who is the enemy and who is the friend.”

"Most of the big families in Yangzhou are salt merchants. These people are full of money and don't have many good things. Be careful when dealing with them. If you are really in doubt, discuss it with Mr. Cui."

"And your Dudu's Mansion also needs a lot of staff to fill in. I have also selected a few people for you, and I will come to you tomorrow with my letter of recommendation."

Unlike the last time he went to Hexi with his father to guard the border, this time Fu Jinchuan took the post of Yangzhou to take the lead and be alone.

So Fu Maoxiu took care of everything he could think of and arranged for his son.

"When I arrived in Huainan, I wrote frequently. I will send you off at home tomorrow. You are in Jianghuai, so take good care of Wulang and Liulang."

"Yes. Aye, don't worry, my son knows."

Here, when the father and son parted, there were earnest teachings, and among friends, there were naturally words of farewell.

In the Bingliu Inn in the West Market, Zhang Zhixun is practicing farewell for his friends.

"Luqiu, don't know when we can meet again today, come and drink this cup."

Sitting opposite him was his good friend Wang Luqiu, who had received a letter of recommendation from the Duke of England, and would accompany him to Yangzhou as an aide to the Marquis of Wu'an, the governor of Yangzhou.

So Zhang Zhixun practiced it again for his friends.

"Zhixun, you are ten times stronger than me. This time, Mr. Liu specifically asked you why you don't want to work in the mansion of the Marquis of Wu'an? With your talent, you will surely stand out. The British government has always done things well. Honestly, Mr. Shi Cui and Mr. Liu have been recommended by the Duke of the state to become officials, and you have always admired the young hero of Marquis Wu'an, don't you?"

After listening to the words of his friend Wang Luqiu, Zhang Zhixun said with a smile: "It's just that I feel a little tired and I'm ready to go back to my hometown."

Wang Luqiu said: "Okay, I'm inferior, you just don't want to part with the four princes of Yan Wang's mansion, right?"

"Hahahahaha I can't hide it from you, Luqiu knows me. Come, drink up this glass." After saying that, Zhang Zhixun raised his glass again and drank it down in one gulp.

Ever since Zhang Zhixun went to Yanwang Mansion that day, Chen Jianzhou would come out to meet him from time to time, and sometimes invite him to Yanwang Mansion. After coming and going, he got acquainted with the Four Princesses, and had a drink with a good friend Wang Luqiu mentioned
But Wang Luqiu's guess is actually right or wrong.The main reason why he stayed was not the princess, but a sentence that the princess said.

But that sentence is too shocking, and it is not enough for outsiders at this time.Not even close friends.

"A great talent like Mr. Lang can't serve the imperial court. Maybe it's time for another day in this world."
