Yingtian Academy is the largest academy in Yuzhou and the first academy in the entire Zhou Dynasty. Taixue should not be counted as an academy. It should naturally have the momentum it deserves. . . Read the latest and most complete novels
The entrance to the academy is paved with blue bricks. There is no gate. There are only two couplets carved at the entrance: "Only Yu has talent, and he is prosperous here."
The academy is surrounded by countless flower gardens. There are scholars reading books, reciting poems, and talking about Confucian literature and science.
"Who are you? Non-members of Yingtian Academy are not allowed to enter." Chen Jiu stood at the door. He was dressed in plain clothes and had no outstanding temperament. The only thing that was abnormal was that the whole figure was integrated with the space, and it was incomparable with the surrounding environment. Fusion, but the gatekeeper could not see this artistic conception.
"I am a scholar. I admire Yingtian Academy and come here to study. I have no choice but to miss the opportunity, so I have to come to ask for advice." Chen Jiu was gentle and polite.
The gatekeeper's eyes widened: "Hey, it's exciting again today. If you want to enter the academy, fine, I'll pass the message for you."
But before the old man could leave, a richly dressed man came over, surrounded by seven or eight similarly well-dressed scholars.
"Hey, the sun is out in the west today, and there is a country bumpkin who doesn't know the height of the sky coming here to mess around. Mr. Wang, why don't you accompany him to mess around?" the leading young scholar said.
The concierge showed two teeth: "Isn't this the rule of our academy? I don't dare to break the rule."
There is a strong literary atmosphere around the young scholar. It seems that the Confucian cultivation level is not low and the attainments are not shallow: "Such a country bumpkin, please don't report it to the dean first. I will send him away."
After finishing speaking, the young scholar looked Chen Jiu up and down, and saw that he had no literary aura around him, so he did not take him seriously: "Liu An, do you want to enter Yingtian Academy?"
Chen Jiu showed his teeth and smiled: "Exactly."
"What talents do you have?" Liu An asked.
Liu An's status among the academicians of Yingtian Academy is not low. It can even be said that he is the leader of the capital. He is deeply loved by all the scholars and is the proud son of Yingtian Academy.
I had nothing to do today, and I accidentally became interested when I saw that this guy looked like a country bumpkin. Want to have some fun.
"What evidence should I tell the master of the academy? Could it be that you can be the master of the academy?" If the other party doesn't give him face, there is no need for Chen Jiu to lose his smile. Some people are born to be cheap, and they need someone to beat them to be honest. .
"You" Liu An never expected that this kid would be so arrogant.
"Boy, you don't have any literary skills, and you don't have any righteousness in your body. I'm afraid you won't be able to enter our Yingtian Academy."
Chen Jiu shook his head: "Haoran's strong righteousness does not necessarily mean that he has a thorough understanding of Confucian classics, and that he has a deep understanding of Confucianism and Taoism. Haoran's righteousness cannot explain anything."
"You're such a tough talker, since you are so confident, then our brothers will play with you," a scholar next to Liu An said.
"Who are you?" Chen Jiu said calmly.
"I am He Zhongguo of Yingtian Academy."
"I hate Tian Shu in Yingtian Academy."
"I'm with Wu Qi from Yingtian Academy."
There were scholars watching the fun in the distance. They were shocked when they heard the introductions of these four people. One person even exclaimed: "It turns out they are the four great talents from Yingtian Academy."
"Since you are interested, I will play with you before I see you again. Tell me how to play?" Chen Jiu put his hands behind his back.
Wu Qi ranked last among the four great talents, so naturally he came out to compete first.
¡°I¡¯ll compete with you in poetry, don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know poetry.¡± Wu Qi stood there and smiled coldly.
"Yes," Chen Jiu said simply.
Wu Qi turned and looked at the old man guarding the door: "Master, please come up with the question."
The old man shuddered. He didn't expect that things would get to this point. Hearing this, he could only bite the bullet and said, "How about using plum blossom as the theme?"
Wu Qi is worthy of being one of the four great talents of Yingtian Academy. After just a few turns, he will have: "Don't be jealous of peaches and plums. They are different in appearance. They are still in a state of snow and frost, but they are not willing to be very red."
Chen Jiu nodded: "Good poem."
Even if Chen Jiu is his opponent, he can't say a good word.
Without waiting for the other party to urge him, Chen Jiu shook his head: "It should be because the letter from Yangchun has not been sent yet, so the beauty is still in his twilight years. Dongjun is looking for a good date, so he left behind to send fragrant clothes and pink cotton. The snow is drifting in the spring, and the toad flowers are hidden in the evening. There are so many people who want to send messages to distant places with fragrance, but there is nothing they can do."What?"
As soon as this poem came out, everyone thought about it carefully, and the more they thought about it, the more interesting it became.
Chen Jiu did not look at Wu Qi, but looked at Hentian Shu: "It's your turn."
The winner has been decided, and these people are all face-saving people, so naturally they will not cheat.
Wu Qi stepped back, and Tian Shu's eyes flashed: "I will compete with you in couplets. I will make a pair, and you will make a pair. Whoever is right will win."
Chen Jiu nodded and "posed the question."
Hentian Shu shook his head: "Last time, our brothers came first, this time you come first."
Chen Jiulue pondered and said: "A solitary boat, with two or three poets on board, using four oars and five sails, passed six beaches and seven bays, and experienced many bumps and turns. It's a pity that it was so late."
"I couldn't come up with a good couplet in a short time. If I messed around with it, it would be better to just admit defeat. Hentian Shu simply looked at Chen Jiu and said, "Tell me about the second couplet."
"In ten years of hard work, I entered nine or eight academies, gave up my emotions, studied the Five Classics and Four Books, and took the exam three times and two times. I will definitely pass today."
"We must win this year. What a big statement. What are the Four Books and Five Classics?" Liu An on the side saw his brother in embarrassment and hurriedly came to the rescue.
Chen Jiu shook his head: "The Four Books and Five Classics are what I have read since I was a child. My family is poor, so of course I don't have Confucian classics, so I can only read some shabby stuff that you don't value."
God is willing. If the saints knew that Chen Jiu said that their works were junk, I wonder if they would be so angry that they would jump out and chop him to death.
Hentian Shu looked at Chen Jiu's eyes, which were clearly black and white, and felt a little panicked in his heart: "Forget it, forget it, I lost anyway, I will count you as passing."
When He Zhongguo saw that his two brothers had lost, he looked a little embarrassed and said, "I will compete with you in Confucian cultivation."
"Are you trying to compete in a fight?" A hint of joking flashed in Chen Jiu's eyes.
He Zhongguo saw that Chen Jiu was covered in mundane aura and smiled coldly: "Of course it is. If you don't want to compete, then just admit defeat."
Chen Jiu was about to speak when he heard a loud shout in the distance: "Nonsense, why don't you go back to study for me? Have you finished your homework for today?".
When Chen Jiu heard about the reputation, he saw a man about forty years old walking over. The man had an elegant face, and it seemed that the law could be seen on the man's face.
All the scholars fled away like chickens after seeing an eagle, and even the four great talents sneaked away in despair.
The man walked up to Chen Jiu, looked him up and down for a while, then frowned, as if he had discovered something: "Are you really my Confucian child?".
Chen Jiu nodded: "Of course, yes."
"My Confucian family is vast and opens the door to convenience. As long as you are a member of my human race, you can practice Confucianism. Do you want to join my Yingtian Academy?"
Chen Jiu nodded and bowed: "Sir, please do it."
The man¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but he continued: ¡°Where did you study before?¡±
Chen Jiu looked at the man, gritted his teeth and said, "The student comes from the forbidden sea."
"Forbidden Sea?" The man's expression condensed and he looked at Chen Jiu carefully.
Being able to come to Middle-earth from the Forbidden Sea is naturally not easy.
"The place where Chen Jiu was standing seemed to have become the sea, and all the vitality that passed through Chen Jiu was instantly submerged into his body. The man was sure that Chen Jiu must have practiced an incredible skill.
"Coming from afar, I, Yingtian Academy, cannot be rude. If you want to worship at Yingtian Academy, you must follow the rules."
Chen Jiu nodded: "Please sir, please come up with a question."
After a few rounds, the man came up with a question: "The other two old gentlemen recently went out to visit friends. I'm going to ask a question today. If you can answer it, I'll let you pass. After all, it's not easy to come here so far away."
"Student thanks sir" Chen Jiu bowed again.
