The master looked at Chen Jiu and took a few steps: "Policy theory, Master said, have you ever learned Confucianism?". .
Chen Jiu shook his head: "I don't dare to take it after studying it. I just read it briefly. In the past few years, the disciples were running around for survival and did not have time to study. Later, I entered the academy to study for a year, but was constantly delayed due to various trivial matters, so I didn't dare to To say that I have learned it, I can only say that I have seen it.¡±
The Master nodded: "You are forced by life all day long, but you still have the heart to study. You are really a role model for our students. So, use your experience to write a poem or an article. As long as it satisfies me, I will I will allow you to enter the academy."
"I would also like to ask Master to come up with a question." Chen Jiu bowed.
The master shook his head: "There are no questions, you can express yourself freely. If there are questions, wouldn't it restrict your talents?"
Chen Jiu frowned slightly when he heard this. This was not easy to handle. Although he said he was the best at it, he still had to cater to the master's will.
With concentration and calmness, various Confucian classics from past lives flashed by, and Chen Jiudao said: "The students will take the teacher's talk as their topic."
The Master was stunned. The Master's Statement includes an entire classic. Taking this as the title of the Master's Statement, it is such a big ambition. Most people are afraid that they will collapse after writing it. So the Master looked at Chen Jiu and hesitated slightly: " Are you sure?"
Chen Jiu smiled softly: "What this teacher said is not what the other teacher said."
"Well, you can start, I'm just going to listen to your advice."
Chen Jiu paced slowly and lightly, and said: "Scholars in ancient times must have teachers. Teachers are the ones who preach, learn the work and solve doubts."
Hearing this, the Master put his hands behind his back and his eyes lit up. Although the beginning of the chapter does not contain any colorful words, it is still somewhat interesting.
"People are not born with knowledge, how can they be free from confusion? If you are confused and do not follow the teacher, it is confusion, and you will never understand it." Chen Jiu took the second step, his eyes were still.
The master nodded approvingly. Although everyone understood this principle, no one really paid attention to it.
"Being born before me, he must have learned the Tao before me, and I have learned from him; born after me, he has heard the Tao before me, and I have learned from him. I have learned the Tao, and I know how old he is. Are they born to me one after another?" This sentence shows Chen Jiu's teaching style.
The master suddenly clapped his hands and said: "What a wise person as a teacher, I have never seen such an idea."
If other students knew about this scene, they would probably be shocked. The Master, who was usually the most stern, actually clapped his hands and applauded.
Chen Jiu was unmoved. Then he said: "That's why there is neither high nor low. There is neither long nor young. Where the Tao exists, the teacher exists."
After listening to this sentence. The master sighed slightly and said with a hint of shame: "Nothing noble or humble, nothing long and nothing short. Where the Tao exists, where the teacher exists, I admire you. I can't do such things."
Chen Jiu smiled softly: "Sir, he is bound by his own status. As a gentleman from the best university in the world, how can he do things like despicable people discussing academic literature? However, the word "reputation" is very harmful to people. Ah, there is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the arts, that's all."
"I've been taught a lesson, you come next." The Master looked at Chen Jiu with a solemn look in his eyes, no longer showing the slightest contempt as before.
Chen Jiu looked at the Master and sighed softly: "Hey! It's been a long time since the teacher's teachings were passed on! It's hard to make people free from confusion! The ancient saints were far away from others, so why should they follow the teacher? "Nowadays, the saints are also far behind, and they are ashamed to learn from the teachers. Therefore, the saints are better than the saints, and the fools are better than the fools. Is this the reason why the saints are saints and the reason why fools are fools?"
When the master heard this, his face turned slightly red and he said nothing. It was obvious that he had been blinded by his own fame and wealth over the years. When he heard Chen Jiu's words, he suddenly woke up.
"If you love your son, choose a teacher and teach him; for him, you will be ashamed of the teacher and confused. The teacher of the boy teaches the book and then learns his sentences. This is not what I call someone who teaches his way and solves his confusion. Reading a sentence I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t understand the confusion, maybe I¡¯m a good teacher, or maybe I¡¯m not good at it, I haven¡¯t seen its clarity yet.¡±
The master was listening attentively at this time, for fear of missing a word.
"A man of witch doctors, musicians, and craftsmen is not ashamed to be a physiognomist. In the clan of scholar-bureaucrats, when someone says "master" or "disciple", they will gather together and laugh. When asked, he said: 'He is similar to that year, and the Tao is similar. . Being in a low position is a shame, and being in a high position is a sign of flattery.¡±
As soon as these words came out, the master sighed and felt sick, the world's customs are not ancient.
"It is no longer possible to know the way of a teacher. A man who is a witch doctor, a musician, and a master of hundreds of skills is looked down upon by a gentleman. Now his wisdom is beyond his reach. How strange that is!"
"Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple. There is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art, that's all."
With a slight sigh, Chen Jiu finished his article and stood there.
The master was feeling a lot at this time, with complicated eyes.Chen Jiu wrote: "You are a great talent. Today you can enter the academy for further study. This master said that you should have a seal engraved in the center of my academy to warn everyone in the world."
Chen Jiu didn't say anything. It was a good thing to enter the academy. As for carving a monument to warn the world, Chen Jiu took it for granted. This Shi Shuo, which was regarded as one of the classics in later generations, naturally has this qualification.
"Chen Jiu, you have extraordinary qualifications and great wisdom. You have not been blinded by this world of lust. You can see it more clearly than anyone else. From today on, I will teach in person. You can learn from me." The Master looked at Chen Jiu , said with a frosty face.
Chen Jiu bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
The master waved his hand: "Is there a place to stay?"
Chen Jiuyi smiled: "The students have just arrived in Beijing, but they have no place to stay. They are temporarily staying in an inn in the city."
Seeing that he was simple and simple, the master obviously didn't live well and said, "You can move to the college to live."
"yes".
"This is the badge. Take it. With this badge, you can walk through the academy without any hindrance." The master handed over another badge.
Chen Jiu took it and put it away carefully.
"I, Wang Mingyang, am not from Yingtian Academy. I am temporarily living in Yingtian Academy. I was invited by the dean to teach here. You can listen to my teachings from now on."
Chen Jiu didn¡¯t know that Wang Mingyang¡¯s lectures required at least first-class students to listen to them. Many teachers in the academy even went to attend the lectures whenever they had free time, which showed how extraordinary Wang Mingyang was.
Chen Jiu naturally didn't know the twists and turns involved. After bowing, Wang Mingyang waved to the man at the door.
The concierge ran over cautiously: "What are your orders, sir?".
"Arrange a dormitory for this little guy. By the way, what's your name?" Only then did Wang Mingyang realize that he didn't know the name of the little guy opposite. It seemed that he was swayed by an article written by the other party.
"Student Chen Jiu".
"Your name is Chen Jiu?" the concierge exclaimed.
Chen Jiu was stunned: "Why, does the uncle know me?".
Wang Mingyang smiled: "So it's you. When you came to Yuzhou, you composed a song "Niannujiao? Red Cliff Nostalgia" in front of the city gate?"
Chen Jiu nodded: "When students see the Yuzhou city wall, it has a strong historical atmosphere and exudes vicissitudes of life. It seems that countless heroes have to look up to the sky and sigh. It has become a barren tomb, a pile of loess, and they have to Looking up to the sky and sighing, time passes like running water, sighing that heroes have come to an end, fearing that beauty will be late in life."
Wang Mingyang was stunned: "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts. It is indeed rare. No wonder you can write such poems."
"Mr., you have given me the award, but the students are just expressing their feelings."
"Poetry is good poetry, but I don't know what a hero and beauty Zhou Lang and Xiao Qiao are."
Chen Jiu smiled when he heard this: "I saw a miscellaneous history in the Forbidden Sea. I don't know whether it is true or false. I felt it for a while, but I couldn't take it seriously."
The teacher nodded: "There will be plenty of time to reminisce about old times in the future. You can take a break from the academy today and start classes tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
The concierge looked at Chen Jiu with a smile: "Congratulations, you are well-off for being noticed by Mr. Wang Yangming. You are still a scorpion in our academy."
With that said, the uncle walked forward: "Now the dormitory in the academy is full. There is only one room left in Zhuyuan. You can go there."
In fact, this is also a good idea sold by the concierge to Chen Jiu. No matter how you do it, it is a casual thing and you will not lose anything. Besides, Chen Jiu is favored by Wang Mingyang. If he really becomes prosperous in the future, we will have a friendship, right?
