Chapter 117 Before the chaos, the good news was first heard
"What's wrong with this? This theory was born in our Dongdu!"
There were immediately a few people in the crowd showing pride, obviously having a sense of honor.&{}..{}
"That's true," Wang Er nodded, picked up the tea and took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued, "Most of the other five people are devoted to studying Qiu Xue. Just say that Cui Sujing, Fujian Province, is from the Cui family, but he is very talented in Qiu Xue. After contacting him, he has an understanding and uses this to escape with many people in Changyuefu..."
Next, Wang Er told Cui Sujing's "story", not to praise Qiu Xue's way of knowledge and action, but to make people take it seriously.
"The way of knowledge and action seems profound, but there are some simple things. As long as you understand the core, even ordinary people can say one, two, three, and four, and can be used to guide your daily life. Qiu Yan is indeed not simple. Hua missed such a talent with just one thought, alas."
There were several people sitting on the table in a corner of the teahouse.
If Qiu Yanren could recognize them here, the two leaders were Huazhang and Zhen Zhizuo of Lizong Academy.
Compared with a few years ago, the temperament of Huazhang and Zhen Zhizuo have changed significantly. As long as you see, it makes people feel that they cannot be underestimated. There are so many people in this teahouse, but there are no idle people coming here in this corner. This is why.
What was talking at this time was Na Huazhang. This person was in charge of the specific affairs of Lizong Academy. Any talented students and Confucian scholars in various places who were recommended by others would nod and set a greeting ceremony, and then there would be corresponding specifications to welcome them.
On the other hand, this is not only a question to be met, but also involves the status of the Confucian scholar in the academy in the future, and he is not careless at all.
It was precisely because of all kinds of considerations that Hua Zhang did not dare to rashly give a Confucian scholar who had never heard of a reputation before, and treated him with great courtesy just by relying on the one-sided words of Zhen Zhizuo and others.
You should know that this will not only make others confused and then feel dissatisfied, but also an unsafe practice. Because welcoming with generous gifts, we have to invest enough resources in Qiu Yan. However, because Qiu Yan did not show his own value on a sufficient stage at that time, he gave him special treatment. It is very likely that he would not achieve anything in the end and become a common person, which would be worth the loss.
However, Hua Zhang would not pretend to be ignorant of Zhen Zhizuo's recommendation, but he would have given him certain courtesy. In his opinion, he sent his disciples to specially welcome a scholar who was only slightly famous in Jiannan Road. This is also considered as a matter of importance. As long as Qiu Yan demonstrates enough talent and achievements in the academy in the future, he will of course be more and more concerned.
But what Huazhang didn't expect was that as soon as Qiu Yan came to the academy, he refuted the Jiangnan talented man He Shuchang, whom Huazhang valued a lot, showed off his talent and had certain insights into Neo-Confucianism. He even attracted Xiao Chen to personally bring him into the sect.
At that time, Huazhang had already realized that his judgment was wrong, but fortunately, he knew Mr. Chen's appeal well, so he didn't have to worry that the academy would lose a talent that could be inherited due to his negligence.
But what he never expected was that in the face of Mr. Chen's recruitment, Qiu Yan was unmoved and eventually left Lizong Academy.
At that time, Hua Zhang had actually felt a little bad. Fortunately, Secretary He learned from his mistakes and was not hit hard, but instead took the opportunity to join the civilians and experience it.
Secretary He was a courtesy of his politeness. If Secretary He could show enough talent and gain a position in the Lizong Academy and the entire literary scholars' community, then he would have a little bit of knowledge.
Unfortunately, although Secretary He did not disappoint him, Qiu Yan's subsequent life trajectory completely covered up Secretary He's achievements, which can be said to be the fireflies and the bright moon competing for brightness.
Although Zhen Zhizuo was very regretful when he heard Hua Zhang's self-blame words, he still comforted him: "You don't have to blame yourself like this. With Qiu Yan's eyes, even if we treat you with great gifts, I'm afraid that you won't be able to invite such a person to return."
Hua Zhang shook his head and said, "Don't comfort me, I didn't do this well, so there is no way to avoid it. Qiu Yan's current status is high, and some people have even compared him with teachers such as me. But when he first came to Dongdu, he was just a person who took the exam. Perhaps he had lofty ambitions, but how many people could predict their future achievements in advance?"
Speaking of this, he sighed again.
In recent years, it has not been easy for him. Not long after Qiu Yan left Lizong Academy, Jiuhuayan's incident occurred in ancient times. Not only did he become famous for a while, he was also valued by many great scholars and masters.
After that, he was even more out of control. He went to Beijing to take the exam and won the top scorer. He went north to the grassland and was famous, but he even wrote two military classics directly!
As soon as the news of these two classics was published, Huazhang felt heavier and felt that because of his own, Lizong Academy had lost a person who could make the Dharma of Neo-Confucianism famous throughout the ages!
After that, the man simply quit his position as the head and cultivated his character. Finally, he improved slightly. However, Qiu Yan had been operating in Jiannan for several years, and there was not much news that shocked the world. As for the many restructurings in the officialdom and the military, they were not valued by scholars.
However, the peaceful break was so amazing. With the rise of the White Lotus Sect, no one who was well-informed was shocked. The White Lotus Sect's rise of troops quickly, and most of the Jiangnan area fell in a short time. Even due to the White Lotus Sect's blockade of the news, many people in the north could not even know.
However, people like Huazhang and Zhen Zhizuo naturally have sources of information and have a wide range of connections. Therefore, after the troops led by Qiu Yan were exposed, they knew the movements of him.
Afterwards, they were all shocked by Qiu Yan's extraordinary results.
Then, after Qiu Yan succeeded and retired, in the next half month, many people in the folk had just learned about the White Lotus Rebellion—
Don’t think this is so incredible. The communication methods and transportation conditions in ancient times are different from those in modern times. In the era of Qiu Yan’s previous life, everyone was the terminal of information. Anything that happened in front of him could be transmitted, and then it was transmitted to every corner through a powerful and complex information network.
But in this continent of Darui, even what happened in the village next door was difficult to spread quickly, because most people were bound to their respective lands and did not have enough means to spread the news.
Even in Qiu Yan's previous life, there were actually similar incidents.
What's more, if possible, the dynasty would try to conceal this turmoil and delay the exposure of the incident.
Many factors gather together, resulting in such a strange effect—
People in many places first heard the good news, and later learned that a large-scale rebellion had emerged in the south. Such a strange situation, coupled with Qiu Yan's in-depth feat, as well as his own reputation and fame, let alone ordinary people, even those students with extraordinary knowledge and Confucian scholars couldn't help but exclaim.
What followed was countless worship, longing, and many thoughts. This brilliant chapter of regret that penetrated deep into the bones was one of them.
However, there is another problem that comes with it.
"...So, even a commoner like us can still learn a lot from Qiu Xue's way of knowledge and action," Wang Er was still talking in the crowd, while everyone was constantly echoing, including many scholars and scholars.
Looking at the scholars, Zhen Zhizuo showed concern and said, "This regretful thing is to come back first. Let's come out this time to see how popular the people are in the knowledge and practice."
Hearing this, Hua Zhang also calmed down his emotions and nodded, "That's right now, it seems that Qiu Xue's foundation has been laid down and has a reputation among the people."
If we only talk about Qiu Yan's achievements, everyone will give a thumbs up, but if we include the way of knowledge and action advocated by Qiu Yan, not everyone will be so happy.
Because in the eyes of many academies, this is to compete with them for orthodoxy.
Unlike the battle for incense among gods, the competition for orthodox academy is often more intense. Although it is not bloody, it involves a wider range and has more people and years of design.
"Not mentioning how much shock it will cause in the court this time, the people alone will be enough to arouse the thoughts of many people and make his Qiu Xue pass along the trend."
Several people discussed and left after checking out. Amid the noise of the teahouse, they left here.
At the same time, the disciples of other academies and study schools were also patrolling everywhere, with their purpose similar to those of Zhen Zhizuo and Huazhang, and the final result also made them look gloomy, which was obviously not ideal.
……………………
At the same time, in the inn where Qiu Yan stayed, Qiu An came with a lot of news, which recorded the movements of people from many academies, study schools and schools everywhere in the city.
Looking at the description on the paper, Qiu Yan nodded secretly. The Dongdu City is a place of literary talent. The literary website is crisscrossed here and is particularly lush. However, there are many literary ideas involved, but it is not convenient to investigate directly, because there are still many great scholars and masters here.
Seeing Qiu Yan put down his intelligence, Qiu An said, "Master, it seems that other schools will not sit still and watch us grow bigger."
Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "This may not be necessary. I think many great scholars have gained something from the literary website and should make a decision. Now the Central Plains School should not seek which one to grow bigger or which one orthodox one, but to unite and push the way of sages to a broader place!" (To be continued...)
