Saint Immortal Way

() After the negotiation, Lu Yang came back from Mingyue Tower feeling very happy.With her perfect tongue, Princess Shouyang took over the big project of building one hundred medicine gardens.

With Lu Yang's plan, Princess Shouyang began to use her own land resources and human resources to open up medicine fields in qualified manors across Kyushu.

They even plan to send people to open medicine gardens for specific elixir in the mountains full of spiritual energy. In short, the hundreds of medicinal materials that Lu Yang needs must be planted in large quantities in the medicine garden, and some rare elixir that cannot be planted. Let Shouyang Princess take the initiative to use the relationship with the whole dynasty to cast a net to collect.

This kind of investment is definitely not less than 100 million taels of silver, but Princess Shouyang can only do this, because she really can't get out the cash of 100 million taels of silver directly.

After a few days, the news of the Six Arts Competition spread throughout the barren state, and the teachers and students of Bailongtan Academy also heard the news, and all the Confucian students rejoiced.There have always been many eye-catching geniuses in the six arts competitions. These geniuses don't have to wait until they graduate, they will be attracted by various forces, and they will have a good advancement and future.

The Six Arts Grand Competition is a grand event in the imperial dynasty. It is divided into three stages. The first stage is called the college competition, which means that the internal selection of the academy is the first. .

The second stage is the competition of the colleges in each state, called the state competition. There are [-] major academies in Huangzhou, and they will come to Bailongtan Academy in Moling Mansion to compete.

The third stage is the palace competition. The contestants from Kyushu will go to the Taishu Academy in Yujing City, the capital of the gods, for the final big competition. Those who win the ranking can get generous rewards, which are far greater than the rewards of the state competitions, and can become famous In the world, this is something that people in the holy way dream of.

"Come on, come on, second brother, the regulations for the competition are here!" Lu Jianjia ran into the study hall, took out a blank piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it over.

"Let me see!" Lv Yang smiled, and took the white paper, on which were written hundreds of small characters, each of which was like Xiaojiabiyu, in exactly that jasper style, and the words on it were copied back from the supervisor's office by Lu Jianjia, It is the constitution of the college.

"Jian Jia, your writing has a good shape, keep working hard, and try to get its charm within two or three years, and be born out of it!" Lu Yang only looked at the words above, and then admired, but Lu Jianjia was a little uncomfortable. Sorry, she smiled shyly: "Jian Jia just put in a lot of work, and she can't be anything, but I heard that it's nothing to just be able to write beautifully, after all, it has nothing to do with Taoism!"

"There is really no direct relationship, but calligraphy can always cultivate emotions. It is said that observing characters is like observing people. If you can comprehend the beauty of righteousness in calligraphy, it can also be considered as an auxiliary practice!"

"Then it's better to spend more time refining alchemy and qi, the effect will be greater!" Lu Jianjia whispered.

"Hehe, that's the reason, so you shouldn't spend too much time on calligraphy. If you spend too much time on calligraphy, your studies will be wasted. But it's also like this, which can better reflect everyone's talent for calligraphy. If you have a good talent, you can study for a year or so. Calligraphy can enter the classroom and enter the room, and you can show it to others!"

Lu Yang smiled, carefully read the regulations above, and immediately knew what to do.

The first ceremony of the first day, the third day of the third day, the sixth day of the book, the ninth day of the number, the thirteenth music, and the last item of the fifteenth day, she!

The first three items are all written comments.Discussion, words also.In the imperial dynasty, commentary has become the most concerned expression method of Confucians, which is different from real writing books.

The length of the discussion is relatively small, and it only expounds certain points of view, which is also called a theory. If several theories are collected and compiled into a book, it may further become a theory.This is also one of the goals pursued by scholars in the imperial dynasty.

Ritual is the pillar of the dynasty, it is the national instrument, it is the foundation of the country, and it cannot be shaken. The sage who first proposed the ritual was the fifth Zhou Li of the Nine Saints. He wrote the book "Kuang Li" and established the Da Kuang's etiquette. , It also laid the eternal foundation for the dynasty.

Over the years, the scholars of the dynasty have studied the etiquette, prepared etiquette, national laws, and perfected the various laws of the dynasty. If there are students who can come up with some ingenuity and put forward some refreshing expositions, they will definitely win the first prize. That's the case.

Lu Yang has his own problems in his chest, so he is naturally confident that he can make new theories, be eye-catching, and win the ranking. He is not worried about this, what he is worried about is Le Heshe.

After all, there are only Tongsheng, who are always one level lower than those brothers and sisters who practice righteousness, and there is a big gap at this level.

Perhaps Le Buquan is all about competing in Qi refining attainments, but shooting skills largely depend on the level of Qi refining.

"Second brother, have you made up your mind, which one to apply for?" Lu Jianjia saw that her second brother was preoccupied, so she couldn't help reminding her.

"Hehe, it's the second brother who is hesitant. It's useless to think about it now, because it will be more interesting if there are challenges. Jian Jia, you go and help me sign up, all the six arts will be included!"

"Submit all of them?" Lu Jianjia's eyes widened: "Second Brother, are you right? Do you have to sign up for all six arts?"

"Why, can't you? Lu Yang smiled.

"No, no, I was just too surprised. Well, all the six arts are registered, but the second brother, the shooting skills are extraordinary, and all the applicants are Xiusheng who cultivate awe-inspiring righteousness. Maybe Sister Daoyun and Yiyi will also apply. Sign up, can you beat them?"

"Senior sister and junior sister also want to sign up?" Lu Yang was surprised.

"Yeah, I also heard what Yiyi said. She said that sister Yun signed up for music and counting two items, and Yiyi signed up for shooting." Lu Jianjia was worried. She felt that her second brother and the two young ladies of the Huang family were a little bit There are gaps in the project.

"It's okay, you sign up for me!" Lu Yang waved his hand, not worried at all.

"Oh, brother Chunyang, do you want to sign up for everyone?" Li Mingyue walked over with a shocked expression on his face.Zhang Wanxing seemed to have heard Lu Yang's words, and came over to ask.

"Aren't you going to sign up?" Lu Yang asked suspiciously.Everyone looked weird, and finally Zhang Wanxing shook his head: "Brother Lu, don't make fun of us, our morality is so low, how can we compete with those senior brothers and sisters? Their talent is far stronger than ours, want to It's very rare to stand out, I have self-knowledge, and I won't lose this person!"

"Really? There is a gap between Tong Sheng and Xiu Sheng, but the gap is not insurmountable!"

"I don't have such confidence. I think we can sign up when we are promoted to the top of the next six arts competition!" Zhang Wanxing shook his head.

Li Mingyue also felt the same way. She wasn't underestimating herself. She really wasn't such a genius that she could ignore the noble students who cultivated righteousness. As for etiquette, imperialism, books, and mathematics, all of them required wisdom, skill, and talent, and they couldn't be forced.

"Forget it, if you don't sign up, then I'll do it. Hehe, although he is a Tongsheng, Lu Yang must show everyone that Tongsheng can beat those talented students!"

"In this way, I will definitely support Brother Chunyang, and I will cheer for you when the time comes!" The students expressed their opinions one after another.

Lu Jianjia felt inexplicably grateful, trotted out of the school, and signed up for Lu Yang. The Six Arts Competition will start on the first day of next month, and the distance is only seven days away. It is a bit tight, and the applicants must start preparing immediately. Otherwise, if you rush into battle at that time, you will be in a mess.

After school, Lu Yang bought some books on the Six Arts Competition in the study on the commercial street, and then returned to Chunyang Residence, studied it, and learned about the situation of the Six Arts Competition.

After dinner, I still came to Huang Zongxi's study to listen to his lectures, and neither Huang Daoyun nor Huang Yiyi was absent.

"The academy has announced the Six Arts Competition. At this stage, it's the college competition, Chunyang, do you plan to participate?" Huang Zongxi asked.

"Respond to the teacher, all the disciples have signed up!" Lu Yang said.

"Oh, senior brother, you have signed up all of them, do you have the confidence?" Huang Yiyi exclaimed in surprise.

"Since we want to challenge, of course we must do our best. Although Lu Yang is only a child, he still wants to prove his abilities in various aspects!"

"Well, that's okay. Although it's a bit surprising to all sign up, but with your current ability, you can still challenge one or two. The Six Arts Competition is a grand event in the dynasty. The college competition is just a small test, and the state competition is not a big problem, but The palace ratio is different, because among the nine states of the imperial dynasty, our barren state is still relatively backward, far inferior to Chenzhou, where the capital of the gods is located, so the quality of Confucian scholars has always been low. It's not a big chance to win the ranking, but Chunyang may have a little chance in the "book"!"

Huang Zongxi understood that Lu Yang had some attainments in this area, and he should be able to shine. As for etiquette and imperialism, he was not sure, because Lu Yang was usually not very public, and he didn't show his abilities in front of others.

"Father, since the younger brother is sure, let all the younger brothers participate. Anyway, most of the participants are show students. It is not shameful for the younger brother to be eliminated. If we can get the ranking, our academy will also have glory!" Huang Daoyun smiled. .

"It's true, this time won't work, it's better to accumulate experience and reputation next time!" Huang Zongxi ordered a few words, and started today's lecture, which was about "Kuang Li·Tian Gang Human Destiny".

"There is a way in the world, and the way is divided into rituals. Heaven is the guide for the group. This is the way of heaven. The king guides the ministers, the husband guides the wife, and the father guides the son. If the three guides are correct, people will be in peace. People have five elements, benevolence, righteousness, Propriety, wisdom, faith, follow the five constants, people will be clear and prosperous; etiquette includes filial piety, kindness, respect, obedience, respect, harmony, benevolence, righteousness..."

Huang Zongxi talked about it in detail, expounding some of Kuang Li's views, and finally asked Lu Yang: "About ritual, do you have any questions?"

Lu Yang is a person of later generations, and he actually disdains the idea that the ruler is the leader of the ministers, but the world is like this, so there is nothing he can do about it.From Lu Yang's point of view, the sky is the keystone of the group, which is a good saying, natural selection, survival of the fittest.The king guides the ministers, which is the need for governance.Husband guides wives and father guides sons. This is necessary for the stability of every family, large and small. Without these disciplines to firmly control the entire dynasty from top to bottom, the dynasty would have been in chaos long ago.

However, these things are easy to be excessive. If it exceeds a certain degree, the three cardinal principles will change their taste. Therefore, we must always keep the center and upright, and not lean to the left.For example, the saying that the husband guides the wife and the father guides the son establishes the status of the husband and father in a family.

So it is derived that women care for their husbands and teach their children, and the sons respect their parents' etiquette and ethics. These etiquette and ethics are a bit suspected of oppressing women, but that's all, the world is like this.However, if a husband thinks that with this bodyguard, he can enslave his wife and children, let him be an ox or a horse, or even have the right to sell his wife and daughter, this is past, and it is not the original intention of Li Gangchang.

For more than 400 years in the dynasty, men have become accustomed to masculinity, and there have been more and more signs of leftist deviation. The status of wives and children in the family has been seriously degraded, especially wives. Many families have even degraded their wives to the status of slaves. Husbands It is really intolerable to be able to trade it.

This is beyond the point where a husband is a wife, and Lu Yang hates it deeply. If he holds the supreme authority, this supreme authority is not the imperial power, but the holy way that hangs above the imperial power. If he holds this power for a day, he must It's too much to correct, but now, my own people speak lightly, and if some remarks are uttered rashly, they will definitely be criticized by thousands of people.

Naturally, Lu Yang would not be really stupid, he only thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that before the Yin Dynasty, there were tribes living on the earth. At that time, the public ownership system was practiced, and the leaders of the tribes were also born in abdication, so later people called it In the era of sages and sages, I don’t know why they stopped abdicating later, and practiced hereditary inheritance, and they belonged to the world?”

Huang Zongxi sighed: "That was a bad example set by the first emperor of the Yin Dynasty. It became a habit later on. Why is it so? It's just people's hearts!"

Lu Yang nodded and stopped talking. Although everyone in the Great Kuang Dynasty pursued sages as their goals, they were just ordinary people before they became sages. The emperor, although there have been absurd kings, but there is always a temple of hundreds of saints hanging high above.It is above all that the authority of the holy way hangs high, and the king may have no way, but it is difficult to do evil to the world, and it is also considered meritorious.

Failed to make it to the classification list, so I beg for a red ticket, thank you!
