Nightwatcher

Chapter 42: Yasheng and his wife

Views:

The icy mountain peaks swept through the forest, and the dead branches let out a shrill whine.

On the path paved with bluestone slabs, Xu Qi'an turned his head and looked at Xu Xinnian, who was dancing with black hair and robes.

He pointed to a waterfall in the distance, and introduced: "This is the place where a senior from the academy was enlightened. There is a stone tablet next to the waterfall, which records the life of that senior."

When there is water shortage in winter, the hanging waterfall is slender and weak, and rushes into the pool listlessly, and the water of the pool is crystal clear.

There is a stele standing beside the pool, a bronze figure sitting cross-legged. The inscription on the stele is the life story of a scholar named Qian Zhong, who was active and active at the beginning of the founding of the Great Feng Dynasty.

At that time, the kings of the previous dynasty were stunned, the officials were corrupt and corrupt, the wealthy clansmen fished the people, and the rebels were divided.

At that time, the imperial court, Da Zhou, and the rebels from all over the country fought a tug-of-war for more than ten years, and the people living at the bottom were miserable.

Qian Zhong, a second-class Confucian, traveled abroad for three years and witnessed with his own eyes the sight of the people's hardships.

Afterwards, the Great Feng established the country, pacified the war and brought peace to the world.

"Is the Great Confucian realm so powerful?" Xu Qi'an questioned: "Why didn't I see the word 'Niubi' in the three Great Confucians?"

Xu Xinnian didn't know what "Niubi" meant, but it was undoubtedly a vulgar language. He remembered that the eldest brother had just written a poem and made great contributions, but he restrained himself from ridiculing him, and replied:

"Who told you teacher that they are in the second-grade Confucian realm, they are only in the fourth-grade gentleman's realm."

Xu Qi'an couldn't believe it: "Then you still have the face to call yourself a great Confucian?"

Xu Xinnian squatted down by the pool, washed his hands, and explained: "Great Confucianism has two meanings. One refers to a scholar with profound knowledge and fame; the other refers to the second-grade realm of Confucianism and Taoism. The great Confucian of our college has two meanings. belong to the former."

Carrying people's grievances to smash a country's fortune, even if the fortune of the dynasty weakened at the end of the dynasty, it was still beyond manpower. How strong is the second-grade realm of Confucianism and Taoism? What about that one

Xu Qi'an fell into contemplation for a long time, with a slightly respectful tone: "Is there a second-rank great scholar in Yunlu Academy?"

Xu Xinnian shook his head and said regretfully: "In the past two hundred years, there have been only three grades at most. The third grade of great Confucianism is the state of life. I also heard it from the teacher's mouth when I sent Lay Ziyang that day. The dean of our college is the third grade of life."

Xu Qi'an's tone suddenly became relaxed, and he commented casually: "Not bad."

The characters of the three old gentlemen seemed to be somewhat exaggerated and indecent, lacking a little composure and seriousness. Xu Qi'an told Xu Erlang his evaluation.

Erlang pondered for a while: "They were not like this before. After the gentleman's realm, it is the third-rank life-defining realm, which may be related to the life-setting realm."

"Well, it was the same for Lay Ziyang before, but recently, he suddenly changed his temperament and changed his personality. I heard from the teacher that Lay Ziyang is only half a step away from his life."

The two brothers wandered aimlessly in the academy, and Xu New Year took him to visit some historical sites. As an academy with a long history of 1,200 years, if it hadn't usually prohibited people from entering and disturbing students' reading, Qingyun Mountain would have become a tourist attraction. attractions.

"Big Brother" was walking, Xu Xinnian suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Xu Qi'an stopped to look at him.

Xu Xinnian glanced at him, turned his face away, and pretended to look around the scenery: "I thought about it for a long time yesterday, if it weren't for you, my father would have been beheaded, and the female relatives would be filled into the Jiaofang Division."

"If it wasn't for you, sister Lingyue would have been in danger yesterday. It is very likely that she was bullied by the surname Zhou."

"If it weren't for you, the Xu family might still be immersed in the luck of the rest of their lives, and then one day, they were suddenly wiped out."

After speaking, he strode forward, walked more than ten meters, and said silently: Thank you!

Yasheng School.

Xu Qi'an followed his cousin up the steps and crossed the incense burner into the hall. Seven-meter-high red lacquer columns hold up the dome, and the Yasheng enshrined in the academy is the founder of Yunlu Academy.

In the slender flame of the candle, the sub-sage was wearing a cyan Confucian shirt and a tall Confucian crown.

Next to Yasheng is a smart and beautiful white deer, with cloud patterns faintly visible on its white fur.

Xu Xinnian pointed at the white deer and said, "It is the origin of the name of Yunlu Academy."

Xu Qi'an said: "The scholar is elegant, and the white deer is the mount."

Xu Xinnian glanced at his cousin and corrected: "It's not the mount, it's the wife."

"!!!" Xu Qi'an re-examined Kia Sheng and muttered: "It's not bad."

Anyway, he didn't dare to say it because he was riding.

Xu Xinnian seemed to know what his cousin was thinking, and said: "In the "Yunlu Zhi" of the academy, it is recorded that this white deer is a demon. It sat down and listened to the scriptures by the sage, and then turned into a human, so he accompanies Yasheng. Yi Yao has been with each other since childhood, and they have a strong relationship and become husband and wife."

"The love between human and monster was not allowed in the world at that time, and it is also the same now. But after the sage found out, he did not beat the mandarin ducks, but agreed with their marriage. The sage said: Great love knows no bounds. It can be seen that as long as there is love, humans and monsters can stay together for a long time."

Since ancient times, the love of human beings and monsters has been nicknamed, such as the undead knight; the hero of the grass; the unity of heaven and man. So, what is this sub-sage's nickname

A horse that refers to a deer as a horse? Xu Qi'an bowed his hands to the statue of Saint Chaoya.

When Xu New Year respectfully bowed to the disciples of the Sunnah, Xu Qi'an turned his eyes around the hall and found a stone tablet with the same height as a person standing on the left and right sides of the hall.

One side is blank and the other side is inscribed.

He walked to the monument and read: "Repay the kindness of the king with the death of righteousness, and the name of Cheng Hui will be passed down through the ages."

The handwriting is neat, neither elegant nor scribbled nor exaggerated, giving people a sense of grandeur and grandeur of a gentleman.

"This is the sub-sage of the Imperial College who stayed here." Xu Xinnian came over and stood side by side with his cousin in front of the stone tablet.

"Ya Sheng of Guozijian is right, I have always been unclear about the details of the grievance between Guozijian and Yunlu Academy." Xu Qi'an was very interested, and the word "eat melon" was written in his eyes.

Xu Xinnian looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "This matter has to start from the battle for the country two hundred years ago."

"Battle for the country?" Although Xu Qi'an is a novice in history, he still knows what it means to fight for the country.

The prince is the foundation of the country!

To fight for the country is to fight for the crown prince.

"At that time, Renzong was in power, and the crown prince had been vacant for more than ten years. The two princes were strong competitors at that time. One was the eldest son, and the other was the concubine prince born by the noble. The noble was very charming and charming, Deep Renzong favor.

"Renzong planned to make the prince born from the concubines as the crown prince. At that time, he encountered opposition from the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty. Renzong decreed many times, but all of them were rejected by the cabinet. At that time, the man who led the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty was a scholar from Yunlu Academy.

"Establish the elders and not the young, the heirs and not the prostitutes. Even the emperor cannot violate the rules since ancient times. Brother, you are right, the ritual system is the dragon slaying technique used by scholars.

"In this national battle, both sides are unwilling to admit defeat. The two sides have been tug-of-war for six years. During this period, the cabinet's chief and assistant have changed four people, and the officials in the court have left batches after batches. In the capital and other places, the officials involved are involved. as many as two hundred.
