Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Second(1/3)
Taixue, Liangyi Hall.
"Our practice system is based on the Yin and Yang five elements. Whether it is the immortal way of Taoist Palace, the witchcraft of Taibutai, or even the martial soul and spiritual lineage, they are based on the Yin and Yang five elements."
"Since the catastrophe of the gods, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Dao have been completely integrated into this world."
Hanging on the jade board at the front of the classroom, a picture of Yin and Yang and Five Elements is emerging. The five-color vital energy of green, red, yellow, white and black flows on the picture and forms the ten directions of heavenly stems outside the five elements rings.
"At the same time, according to the theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, the gods also have their own attributes. The gods of the four seasons are gold, wood, water and fire, and the mother of Earth, Houtu, is the eternal earth, forming the five elements cycle that surrounds the earth in the four seasons."
Suddenly, a student raised his hand below.
Seeing that Cao Shen, a young man with a famous Imperial Academy, frowned: "Cao Shen, what are you having?"
"The gods match the foundation of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, the earth god is earth, the fire god is fire, the sea god is water, and the sun god is yang. Then as the night god, it should correspond to the Yin of the two qualities. According to the attribute definition ten years ago, the attribute of the ‘Emperor’ is earth, the god of the country, the land of thick earth, and the god of agriculture is sacrificed, and the four seasons assist the rotation."
"Now Taibutai is going to hold a divine marriage again. But how does the Yin of the Night God combine with the Earth? Is it... Taibutai wants to be more divine for the 'Emperor'!"
When the kid mentioned the most acute conflict in China, the teacher's hair stood up.
Subconsciously, he looked out the window.
This is one of the strongest places in the Imperial Academy and the royal family.
"Shut up! This kind of question is not your turn, a student, to question it!"
"The principal often says, 'Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world'. I am also a citizen of the Xia Kingdom. Can't I question the fundamental matter of the country's destiny?"
"In recent years, in order to support the gods behind them, the emperors have been trying to give the emperor a divine marriage. Isn't this kind of thing shaken the foundation of the country?"
Cao Shen became more and more excited as he spoke: "I missed my Daxia for five hundred years. Even when the catastrophe of the gods was the most difficult at the beginning of the founding of the country, I did not compromise and let the 'Emperor' share with the gods!"
The teacher was so angry that his face turned black: "Shut up! Shut up! The 'Emperor' is the heaven, it is all-encompassing, and it is natural to match all gods. He is the Lord of the Godly Marriage, how can he be a sacrifice?"
Cao Shen also wanted to refute, and Yang Shang, who was at the same table, quickly pulled his sleeve and asked him to sit down.
But the teacher was still angry and pointed at Cao Shen and said, "After class is over, stay and clean the classroom!"
Cao Shen looked angry and sat silently in his seat and sulked.
Yang Shang shook his head and continued to listen to the lecturer's lecture.
Liangyitang is an extremely special course in Taixue. It talks about the principles of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols and Five Elements. According to the elders in the family, Liangyitang talks about "the way of heaven".
"My father said in his early years that Liangyitang talks about the theory. No matter how we practice all kinds of practice methods such as immortal martial arts, witches, gods and scholars, we cannot escape the scope of heavenly way. This heaven is the emperor, and the heavenly way that belongs to my China alone."
"only……"
Listening to the lecturer's explanation of the principles of heaven, Yang Shang frowned frequently. Not only him, but also a few classmates around him also showed dissatisfaction.
Even though the country is currently busy with the matter of divine marriages, and great scholars from all walks of life are arguing in the palace, the "nature and Taoism" of Liangyi Hall is the foundation of the Xia Kingdom's practice system, so it is only a Confucian master with four tripods to come to teach?
According to past practice, you should be a veteran scholar or a famous scholar.
"What I mentioned is the flow of the five elements, you will go back and study it yourself in other courses."
Not long after, the bell rang out, and the teacher breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly said: "You are about to become an adult, and it is time to choose the future path. Should you go to Jixia Academy to study, or try to follow the Yin-Yang Road and practice the Xuanzhen Method. Of course, it is okay to work directly. But as a teacher, it is not recommended that you work directly."
"After you go back, you will discuss with your family. At the end of this month, you will hand over the letter of intent. If you plan to practice immortality or witchcraft, the Imperial Academy will be responsible for contacting relevant holy places and holding exams for you."
After saying that, he quickly went out with his textbook in his arms, for fear that he would be pissed off by Cao Shen’s previous topic.
"Hmph - coward!" Seeing this scene, Cao Shen couldn't help but hammer the table.
"Be careful, this is twenty copper!" Yang Shang felt a little sorry for his desk. Is it worth repairing the desk?
"Cao Shen, you are really good." Several students gathered around: "You dare to raise the topic of divine marriage?"
Another person said: "I heard from my father that it has been arguing about this in the court for nearly a month. It was because the Lord of Liangyi went to participate in the court meeting that asked Master Zhang to come over to take the class instead."
The third person: "I just adapted to the God of Agriculture for a few years, and I have to replace the God of Marriage. Has the series favored by the God of Agriculture been passed down for three generations?"
"It seems that it is the third generation. So it is the turn of this master to be replaced by the Night God he believes in. You must know that the support of the Hei Tian Sect is indispensable behind his ascension to the throne."
"Huh? His family has always believed in the God of Agriculture, and it is easier to believe in the God of Agriculture. Are you not afraid that the God of Agriculture will seek him to settle it?"
The students unscrupulously discussed the current royal family's replacement. Over the past century, the three-line eight emperors have been replaced, and the divine marriage has been matched with the "Emperor" three times. The royal family's face has long been lost, especially the sudden death of some of the eight emperors for no reason, which has caused everyone to discuss.
Nowadays, the position is not upright and cannot be favored by the emperor.
Therefore, they continued to worship the goddess for the emperor, hoping to use this method to share the country's fortune and allow their imperial rule to continue.
But compared to the current God of Agriculture who is a member of the Emperor, the God of Night has greater opposition.
"After all, Night God is the main god, but it is an external belief. The gods are even more in a hostile camp with us in the catastrophe. Now Your Majesty is in charge of the country as the "Son of Night God", and of course he wants to make his legal system more legitimate."
"In the final analysis, the Emperor is sleeping for many years and is unable to interfere in the world. Otherwise, it would be these people's turn to jump out and make trouble."
Everyone said and said, and heard the blue veins on Cao Shen’s forehead thunder, and his expression became even more ugly.
Yang Shang next to him hurriedly said, "Okay, don't talk about this kind of thing. Although the palace is currently losing face, it is the royal family of the country and the blessings of five hundred years are still there. Let's be careful when speaking."
"What are you afraid of? I will turn around and join the Daoyi Immortal Palace. Could it be that the emperor dares to pursue his crimes to the Holy Land of Immortal Dao? Don't forget, how did Emperor Ling die back then?"
Emperor Ling was in private consultation with foreign gods and intended to worship the Emperor with the God of Love. In the end, he angered the leader of the immortal Taoist sect. Nine immortal families rushed into the palace and killed a generation of emperors alive.
It is precisely because of this that the palace was a great loss. If it weren't for the Taibutai, the three witch masters of the Tianwu Sect and the Witch Temple jointly protecting each other and saying that the fortune of the Xia Kingdom was not over, I'm afraid that the country would not belong to the Yang family now.
As soon as the student finished speaking, he was immediately hit by his companion with his elbow. Looking at the expressions of Cao Shen and Yang Shang, there was something wrong with each other.
He quickly woke up and called out: "There is a magic class in the afternoon. I have to go back to get cinnabar and leave first."
"We're going to have a meal, see you in the afternoon."
"Go, go, I'll help Cao Shen clean the classroom, you can eat first at noon."
After Yang Shang dealt with his classmates, he was the only one who was left in the classroom, including himself and Cao Shen.
"You, let me tell you what's good! Can you interrupt like the Emperor's God's Marriage?"
Cao Shen held his anger and said with a tense face: "The Yang family is no longer the Yang family at the beginning of the founding of the country. The emperor sleeps in his sleep. The direct lineage of the Yang clan is extinct. What can these emperors in the side branch do to consolidate their power? Now they don't speak out. Will they wait until they completely turn Xia into a breeding farm for the gods? I heard that because the emperor only sleeps in his sleep, the country has caused turmoil in the country and almost triggered a civil war!"
The Emperor is the god of the country and the foundation of the inheritance of the Xia civilization. After the Yang family's direct line was destroyed and the side branches took office, they could no longer contact the sleeping emperor. For this reason, the side branches demonstrated their orthodox status in order to justify the reputation. They chose to use the divine marriage to worship the emperor with the gods they believed in to consolidate their rights.
"Oh. I'm not talking about you." Thinking that his friend was also a branch of the Yang family, Cao Shen added: "I mean the bastard on the dragon throne. He put the sun god without sacrificing the sacrifice, but he actually went to worship the Night God. Do you still dislike the little grudge between us and the Demon Ancestor? The Night God is the creator of the Demon clan!"
Yang Shang understood why he was so angry.
After all, my childhood friend claimed to be the "son of the emperor" to the public, which was born of his mother's feeling that "the emperor fell into a dream".
When Cao Shen saw other children accompanying him when he was a child, he asked his mother why his father was not there?
So his mother told him that his father was the Emperor of Xia Kingdom, the Holy Lord.
Of course, when Cao Shen grew up, he gradually realized that his words when he was a child were probably his mother's comfort.
But he worshiped the king of the country since he was a child and complained about the emperors' actions. In his opinion, this is the way the emperors used snatching power while the king of the country was sleeping!
For this reason, three inexplicable marriages have been added to the king of the country!
The only thing that comforted Cao Shen was that shortly after these three magical marriages were announced, they were jointly suppressed by various forces, forcing the emperors to abolish them, and even the emperors abdicated.
"Did the Sun God's priests just watch this happen?" Cao Shen was thinking a lot and suddenly looked at Yang Shang: "Speaking of this, I remember that you didn't really worship the gods? Why don't you go to the Sun God's palace to make a few donations?"
"Forgive!" Hearing Cao Shen's words, Yang Shang immediately knew what his best friend meant: "Our group is far from the royal family, and all the vassal states have been removed. You plan not to pull me up. Even if the third prince wants to support the new emperor, it is not our turn."
"Okay, hurry up and clean up the classroom. Close the door and have dinner later. There will be military strategy classes in the afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Cao Shen temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart and cleaned the classroom with Yang Shang.
After the two left Liangyi Hall and locked the door, Yang Shang said: "You go and return the keys to the classroom. I'm going to get food, is it the same rule?"
"Well, just deal with it casually. There will be magic classes in the afternoon and get more things to replenish qi and nourish blood."
There are twelve major lessons in the Imperial Academy.
One is virtue, telling the principles of being a human being and the foundation of morality.
The second is literature, which is the place where you read and write, and teach your articles and learn about it.
The third is the strategy for governing the country, the essence of administration, and it also tells the foundation of justice and the geographical style of mountains and rivers.
The four are rituals, which are the basis of rituals and music, and the Xia State system is located.
Five is a soldier, explains military strategies, has four schools of military power, military situation, military yin and yang, and military techniques.
Six is a number, which talks about mathematical operations and graphical logic.
Seven is martial arts, with practical practice of riding, shooting, sword fist.
Eight are poems, poems, songs and essays contain spiritual power, which can be used as the basis for magic and is also a course that must be learned in the Imperial Academy.
Nine is the art subjects such as art, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and students must take one option.
Ten is a miscellaneous, three hundred and sixty industries, agriculture, mulberry, weaving and other industries, you must know and master one of them.
The eleventh principle is the lesson of the way of heaven, and telling the theory of yin and yang in the Xia Kingdom is a compulsory course for magic. At the same time, there are astronomical calendars, climate calculations, etc.
Twelve is the action, this course is a practical course. It is not in the Imperial Academy, but based on daily actions and daily actions. Sometimes, the Imperial Academy will organize students to travel for a long trip or go to the ground to work farming.
It can be said that the Imperial Academy system places the endless expectations of those predecessors for their descendants. The students in this school are the backbone of the future Xia Kingdom.

Cao Shen and Yang Shang acted separately, one went to get food and the other went to pay back the keys.
