Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 313 Sifang Confucian Academy, Tai Chang invites you

Calling Brother Chen and Brother Liu at the same time, it can be seen that the relationship between the two parties is indeed much closer, but no matter how close they are, it is only superficial. However, when they met for the first time, both parties still had their own thoughts, so how could they really be close.

But since both sides had such attitudes, the discussion had to continue in such an atmosphere, unless the atmosphere changed. Then Liu Jin spoke twice, in fact, to change the atmosphere, but Chen Zhi did not give him such a chance.

Hearing Chen Zhi's inquiry, no one else said anything, but Chen Die, who was sitting aside and toasting with wine, choked, then put down his glass and looked at Chen Zhi, dumbfounded.

When they entered the door just now, the two of them had discussed this issue, but Chen Die's knowledge was limited and he could not give an accurate answer. As a result, not long after, Chen Zhi asked someone else, and the person he asked was still One who comes with other thoughts and wants to cause trouble.

Therefore, even Liu Jin himself was confused by Chen Zhiwen. It took him a moment to come to his senses and ponder in his mind whether to ignore the question and continue at his own pace, or answer it first.

However, Chen Zhi did not intend to let it go, and continued: "Since I came to Luoyang, I have heard people mention it one after another, saying that it is a place where humanities are gathered together, which is actually the best place in the world, especially the many academies that emerge in endlessly. Everyone has their own merits. I am too happy to avoid having to deal with many academies in the future, so I have long wanted to ask about the situation. Unfortunately, everyone has their own merits. After asking again and again, there are still some shortcomings. But Brother Liu, you are different. Just now Chatting with you, I heard you mention that your Zhimin Pavilion is full of scholars who talk and laugh, have no ordinary people, and are involved in many academies..."

Another compliment, but the words made Liu Jin's expression unnatural, while Chen Yong was slightly stunned, then smiled while stroking his beard without making a sound.

Chen Huan, on the other hand, could not see the formality, but felt that the atmosphere was harmonious, and wanted to participate, so he shouted from the side: "Brother Clan is right, Mr. Liu, you don't know, brother Clan of mine has been... Even I have asked about these things, but I really don’t know. You should tell him. You are well-informed and must be much better than me. Just now you said that Luoyang ranks among the top I have friendships with you in several academies, and the Taoist priests and monks from the temple have also gone to your place to drink tea and talk about mysteries. You must be an expert in this kind of thing."

As he was talking, he noticed that everyone stopped talking and looked over. There was a silence around him. A little embarrassment appeared in the atmosphere. He also realized that something was wrong, so he stopped talking, laughed twice awkwardly, and said no more. .

But after all he had said what he said, Liu Jin could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. He had to laugh twice and said: "Actually, I also exaggerated. In Luoyang, there are many families gathered together, each with its own merits. There is nothing I can comment on." .”

"It's not a criticism, it's not a criticism," Chen Zhi waved his hand and said with good intentions, "I'm the one asking, and Brother Liu is the one answering. It can be regarded as helping me. After all, I am too happy to understand anything. Well, this is mainly a question, which is the top ten academies you mentioned just now?"

As soon as this question came out, Liu Jin's handsome face suddenly showed an expression like a toothache.

The statement of the top ten academies is a custom. Where there is a real ranking, there has been no one in literature since ancient times. This kind of talk is fine in private, how can it be put on the table?The reason why I mentioned it just now is that it’s gossip, just like later generations flattering each other, sometimes it’s aroused, in order to show myself, it’s inevitable to use others as a foil, for example, who doesn’t need to know how taller than you are, me and He talks and laughs and stuff.

In the end, Chen Zhi insisted on picking out and asking, and in the name of Tai Le Ling, Liu Jin felt a little passive.

"I was rude." Suddenly, Chen Zhi took a step back. "This matter is indeed not easy to talk about. There are conflicts among the academies, and most of them have reputational factors. If he puts forward any top ten remarks, it will be It’s really not appropriate to add to the dispute, so let’s just have a casual chat and talk about the academies you are most familiar with, Brother Liu.”

He retreated on his own, and Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll start from the Four Confucian Academy in the southeast, northwest, and northwest."

Chen Yong was watching and listening, calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but admire in his heart.

"What a good method. He first made a proposal that was difficult for people to answer, and then took a step back to give him a suitable space. But in fact, Liu Jin had no intention of answering. As a result, he stepped forward and retreated. , it was easy for Liu Jin to feel that he had a chance to step down and he was willing to answer, and Chen Zhi said it tactfully, but an academy that can be familiar to people like Liu Jin must be among the best, otherwise how can it be worth introducing? "

In his emotion, Liu Jin already introduced: "Brother Chen has actually contacted one of the Confucian academies around the capital."

Chen Zhixiao asked: "Zuoyue Academy?"

Liu Jin nodded and said: "It is Zuoyue Academy. This academy is located to the west of Luoyang. It is the first of many Confucian academies in the west. The head of the mountain is from the Hongnong Yang family, and there are several Guanzhong families involved. In addition, that The Confucian classics east of Luoyang are dominated by Zhiyuan Academy. The mountain chiefs of all generations have been members of the Zhuge family, but they are not limited to this. Several major families in Nanyang and the Langya Wang family have great influence in this academy. .”

Chen Zhi savored it for a moment and then said: "The Zhuge family is powerful and spreads across the north and south. Langya is the root, Nanyang is the stem, and there are branches on the left side of the Yangtze River. It is normal for them to gather such power."

"Next is the Shendu Academy in the north of Luoyang. The current head of this academy is the Xun family of Yingchuan. This academy has the help of various families in the north. The previous heads of the academy are all from northern families." When Liu Jin introduced Shendu Academy, he deliberately Much streamlined.

"Could this academy have the help of the major families in the north? It's interesting." Chen Zhi said, and then asked: "I've mentioned the east, west, north, and south. What's the origin?" As the saying goes, no. I don't know. After asking, Chen Zhi has already realized that these many academies are actually not that simple. Those who can establish a foothold in Luoyang and inherit them all have backgrounds.No wonder it’s difficult to manage.

"The most famous academy in the south is Jianshan Academy. It is said that it was initiated by Chen Hou. Initially, when Chen Hou was training his troops, a lecture hall was set up in the camp. The teachings were not very profound. From time to time, someone asked, "What are the soldiers doing?" Why do you need to study? When Chen Hou argued with him, he mentioned that Da Ze was good at the world. After Chen Hou died, Emperor Zhaolie was moved by his ambition, so he established the Jianshan Academy. After Xuanwu Expedition to the North, after unifying the Central Plains, he returned the capital to Luoyang. This Jianshan Academy was also Then move here.”

Is Jianshan Academy...

Chen Zhi's eyes were dazed for a while, and he also noticed that when he introduced the academy, Liu Jin's demeanor and tone were obviously different from before, with a hint of longing.

With a thought in his heart, Chen Zhi asked: "I wonder which academy this academy is related to? Who is the current mountain chief?" This Jianshan academy is under the banner of Chen Hou, but Chen Zhi knows that this academy has nothing to do with him. However, after hearing this introduction, he felt something strange in his heart, so he asked this question, but he also understood that in this era of ninth-level officials, it was impossible for the academy to be passed down independently from the aristocratic family.

Sure enough, Liu Jin introduced: "Since the academy moved north, in the past 30 years, the Zhang family, Zhou family, and Lu family have been the mountain chiefs. The current mountain chief is the Jiangdong Gu family, but the next one has been decided. That person from the Zhu family in Jiangdong."

"The Zhang family, the Zhou family, the Gu family, etc. are all the big families in Jiangdong. It seems that the background of Jianshan Academy is just a shell. It has long been reduced to a tool of the big families in Jiangdong. This is right, after all, it moved from Jiangdong."

Chen Zhi felt the same as Ming Jing in his heart, but there was still a trace of sadness, but he couldn't help laughing immediately: "I still think too much. How can the limitations of the times change just because of one of my previous lives? After all, death is like a lamp going out. No matter how much I prepare, I will still be overwhelmed by history. What's more, I didn't do anything. Many of the so-called Chen Hou's actions are just pseudonyms. Having said that, if it is really done once and for all, then why do I have to work hard in this life? If I really have regrets, I might as well Make up for it in this life.”

Liu Jin, who was opposite him, naturally had no way of knowing these thoughts of his. After he finished talking about the four academies, he added: "In addition to these Sifang Confucian academies, there is another one in the city that was also prosperous, but now it has declined slightly, named Yang Jingshuyuan, okay, this is how many academies there are..." As he said this, he planned to stop talking. Otherwise, if he continued talking, he would just come here to clarify Chen Zhi's doubts today, which would be a disservice to others. .

It's a pity, but Chen Zhi didn't want to stop like this, and asked again: "Since we are talking about Confucianism Academy, there must be other schools. In addition, I heard that Buddhism and Taoism still spread in the capital, and these are also closely related to Tai Le Ling. Brother Liu, please continue."

Liu Jin's expression changed continuously. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't help but not answer. He just said, "Come here today. Why do you come here?"
Just when he was in a dilemma, Chen Ju suddenly came from the side, stopped in front of Chen Zhi, and said respectfully: "Master, there is news from our yard, saying that Taichang has sent someone to ask you in advance. Let’s discuss something in the past.”

"Too often people come to call me? The time has not come yet, so he asked me to go there in advance. Something happened. Since he is a superior, how can he refuse? I have to go for a trip."

Chen Zhi changed his mind and turned around to apologize to Chen Yong.

Chen Yong waved his hand and said: "You go over first. Taichang sent someone to let you over. It won't be a private matter. The official business of the court is important."

Chen Zhi nodded and said to Liu Jin: "It's a pity that I couldn't enjoy myself as much as I could today, and I couldn't ask about the situation of the other hundreds of academies. We'll talk about it some other time. Everyone, Chen said goodbye."

Liu Jin and others all handed over their hands, saying that business was more important.

When Chen Zhi's back disappeared, Liu Jin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there was no need to continue introducing other families.

"Continue the introduction and spread the word. Today I am purely here to give Chen Zhi some guidance. If people don't misunderstand me, I am really befriending him. I was entrusted by Brother Xun to let Chen Zhi reveal his voice... No! "

After thinking about it, Liu Jin suddenly came back to his senses with a shocked expression.

"How can I let Chen Zhi play the piano after he leaves like this? And once he leaves, I am here specifically to explain it to him today. This... this misunderstanding is huge!"
