Dao fruit.

"Have you heard that Wu Meng and Sun Xun are going to be apprentices tomorrow. It's really lucky that they will become disciples of Zai Zhi. ∈,"

Not long after Qiu Yan arrived, what he said after entering the academy had already spread throughout the academy, causing a lot of discussion.

"It's no wonder that the two of them stood firmly by Marquis Ding's side when the situation was unknown before. Naturally, they won the favor of Marquis Ding. Now it is logical that they are officially included in the gate wall."

"Isn't it? That's okay for Wu Meng. I heard that his father, the military governor, was also on the side of Dingguohou, and even got into trouble with the surrounding military towns because of this. On the contrary, that Sun Xun, his Sun family was one of the many aristocratic families that were unfavorable to the Marquis of Dingguo before, and that old Marquis Sun even vaguely meant to lead the parties, so Sun Xun was able to withstand the pressure under such circumstances. It's not easy."

"Yes, I heard that the Sun family even sent someone to urge him, but he didn't respond. In the end, he made his parents worse. I heard rumors that he seemed to be expelled from the clan, and his family's land was taken away, and he was sent to Lingnan Miasma. place, it was quite painful.”

"Now it's the end of all hardships. Marquis Dingguo is in power, and he is in charge of the artifact of the country. Sun Xun has also risen. It is estimated that the internal impact on the Sun family will be severe."

"No, in the current situation, not only the Sun family, but also several other big families are forced to lead their children into the farmland. I heard that there are special personnel to investigate. These people are from the new army. It cannot be bought easily."

"After the Tiantian Order, there must be other means. I heard that the imperial court has made some movement in the local area. It seems to be about the clan and family law. Some people say that they want the government to run the school. I don't know if it is true or not."

"The current news is true and false, how can we tell the difference?"

……

The children of officials and noble families are very concerned about the development of the court.So after hearing the news, the first thing to pay attention to is the change in the status that Sun Xun should have in the Sun family and the impact it will bring after he formally apprenticed to Sun Xun.

In contrast, the few poor scholars pay attention to different places.

Most of the humble scholars in this academy have come here in the past two days. They are naturally not as well-informed as the nobles and officials, so they cannot leave to see the situation clearly.So not many people come to study now——

Although many scholars and scholars have long been out of production in order to study, they are still trapped in practical problems and dare not do things that will destroy their future. However, in the past few days, they have gathered quite a few.

"I heard that sir will be opening the Shengxian Hall tomorrow."

"I don't know which sage's teachings this Zhixing Academy should inherit."

"Maybe there will be a wave of disputes. No matter which sage is, there must be students and grandchildren. There are other academies inheriting the inheritance and theory of Taoism, and it will be unclear at that time."

"The way of knowing and doing was originally created by Mr., how can we invite sages to inherit it? Besides, it is now in the scholar forest. It is not that there is a rumor that Mr.'s achievements in Confucianism are not profound, so those few classics on humanism, They are all belongings of military strategists. Because of this, it will be hard to distinguish when the time comes."

"Speaking of which, the Zhixing Academy is now considered to be available for all ages. With Qiu Xue as his younger brother, and your husband as the prime minister, you must pay attention to it. In the future, you may have to dabble in the imperial examination. You don't see the new law together. It didn’t take long for the new learning to enter the imperial examination, and the way of knowing and doing is the same in the future, we should learn it now, and after mastering it, the benefits will be endless.”

"It's true. It is said that Qiu Xue has everything ready, but the matter of the Sage Hall is still incomplete. It depends on how Mr. Tomorrow will deal with it. Maybe the last flaw will be erased in one fell swoop!"

In the midst of this discussion, time passed, and the next day arrived in a blink of an eye.

On this day, many people from the academy came to watch the ceremony, wanting to see Wu Meng and Sun Xun get started, even Mr. Qingliang, Mr. Taixu, Fei Yu and others also sent people over.

In fact, this ceremony of appreciating a teacher is always the same, and it is not as complicated as the emperor's enthronement, so there is nothing to look at. 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 this caring person saw it, he knew it in his heart, knowing that he was going to the hall of sages.

The Sage Hall is a must for the Academy, so when the Zhixing Academy was built, it was also planned early, and it occupies a lot of land, second only to the Taoist Hall——

The Lun Dao hall is a place for the disciples of the academy to preach, give lectures, debate and discuss in the future. It is much larger than the gardens of other courtyards and houses in terms of size. If it is properly arranged, it can sit for two people. 300 people.

The size of the Shengxian Hall can be compared with that of the Lundao Hall, and its interior space can be imagined, but since the day it was built, the gate of the Shengxian Hall has always been closed, and because of its solemnity and majesty, it has a shocking artistic conception, which is also very Few people dare to approach.

Of course, some time ago, there were few people here, so don't worry too much about it, but now there are a lot of people gathered here. Under the example of Zheng Yun, Meng Sanyi and others, these people will not easily approach the Hall of Sages.

So, now Qiu Yan led the two new students, followed by Zheng Yun and Meng Sanyi, and without stopping the others, he immediately attracted people to follow, and a group of people walked towards the Hall of Sages.

In the distance, on the viewing platform, Fei Ji and others stood on the pavilion and watched from afar, their eyes also fell on the hall of sages.

Due to their identities and sects, they couldn't join in in person, but they also sent people there, and they also expressed their concerns. Even outsiders like Fei Jie were very concerned about how the Sage Hall was arranged. After all, Qiu Yan's status is different now, and he seems to be doing something about the Daoist sect, so he has to pay attention.

Coupled with the huge power behind Qiu Yan, whether it is secular power or extraordinary personality, ordinary monks cannot resist, even at his level, they still have to avoid their edge.

"I don't know what's mysterious in that hall of sages. Marquis Dingguo is definitely not a simple person, and he won't do anything like invite other sages into the hall," Fei Long was also watching from the side, his face was calm, and his eyes flashed with thought. , "It's just that he chose this time to open the hall of saints. I don't know what the meaning is. Could it be sending some signal?"

Qiu Yan's status is different now, and his every move attracts people's attention, and he vaguely represents a faction, which has a great influence on the changes in the power of the world, so many of his actions will be deliberated and speculated by people, trying to find out the reason, deep meaning.

In fact, Qiu Yan just said yesterday that he intends to open the Hall of Sages and Sages, and today the news has spread to all the major forces in the capital, and spread to all parts of the world through many channels. , there are many people who shoulder the mission. If there is an opportunity, they should follow the whole process to see what Qiu Yan meant, and what kind of mystery there is in the Hall of Sages, and try to pass the news back as soon as possible.

So, on the surface, it seems that Qiu Yan led the students to open the Sage Hall, but in fact, the entire capital's attention was focused on it, and even the new emperor, who had just ascended the throne, got the news and asked people to come to watch the ceremony. Due to identity and safety considerations, there was no time to make arrangements, so he had to come here in person.

Squeak.

The door, which had been closed for a long time, was gently pushed open with a soft noise, and the inside of the Sage Hall was completely dark. It was no wonder, after all, it had been sealed for a long time, and the situation inside could not be seen from the outside. Naturally, it is also difficult to penetrate in, there are only a few traces, but not enough to illuminate the entire hall.

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

This is obviously a method of tricks, and it also attracted the attention of the people around, but the next moment, their minds were all drawn by the scene in the hall, and the scene presented inside surprised and surprised everyone who saw it. I can't care about anything else.

"What's going on? There are no clay sculptures in this hall of sages, they are all portraits, and the number of these portraits is the same as the people listed on it..."

Even the four students and disciples who were following Qiu Yan were surprised when they saw the scene in the Sage Hall, and their minds were shaken.

The reason is that the scene in the Sage Hall was beyond their expectations. The four of them, except for Sun Xun, had never actually entered any Sage Hall, but they had heard about it and knew about it a long time ago. 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 are portraits standing one after another. The people depicted on them are different, some are solemn, some are elegant, but there are also people who are dressed in rough clothes but have extraordinary features...

And under these people, there is often a piece of writing on it, which is written in small script, which describes their life, origin, school of thought, and what they advocate.

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

Among the crowd outside the door, many noble children are well-informed, so they can naturally see clearly that a human figure on the portrait is lifelike, if it is not hanging on the top, and there is a paper background, at first glance, it is still They would think it was a real person's recovery, and they could vaguely capture the breath of flesh and blood, which is obviously an extraordinary brushwork, but it just overlaps with many figures in their memory, which is extraordinary.

"In these portraits, there are not only Confucian sages, but also figures of other schools. This person is dressed in the clothes of an old farmer, but his breath is like that. Could it be that Xu Sheng..." (to be continued...)
