There is a mountain eighteen miles southwest of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty. The mountain is not high, but it is surrounded by rivers at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is shaded by bamboos, lush trees, and the scenery is pleasant.
This mountain is called Bailu Mountain.
Halfway up the mountainside of Bailu Mountain, the terrain is open and flat. In this area, there is a vast residence. Above the gate, there are four words Bailu Academy hanging.
White Deer Academy is the top academy in the Qin State. Many officials in the Qin Dynasty even graduated from the academy.
The headmaster of White Deer Academy is Han Qianqiu. After he arrived in Qin in his early years, he established himself in Qin, preached and taught, and also accepted many disciples. Among Zhui Duo's disciples, Cao Xizhi was the most sincere in learning, and he was not ashamed to ask questions.
Han Qianqiu liked Cao Xizhi the most, so when Cao Xizhi came down the mountain, he gave Mo Yuhu to Cao Xizhi.
Although there are still some scholars in Bailu Academy, not all of them are Han Qianqiu's disciples. Han Qianqiu is the mountain chief and will also be responsible for giving lectures, but there are also other famous Confucian scholars who impart knowledge.
In the backyard of the academy, in a quiet courtyard.
An old man with a bright head was basking in the sun in the yard, writing at a desk.
The old man has a slim build, but has a tall frame and a very tall stature. He has gray hair and a long beard under his chin, which hangs down because he is busy writing at his desk.
The old man is Han Qianqiu.
He was already fifty years old and heading towards sixty. Han Qianqiu spent most of his time writing books and expounding some of his academic views. After all, at Han Qianqiu's age, he has enough experience and experience to write classics.
While Han Qianqiu was writing furiously, the sound of footsteps came from outside the yard.
A middle-aged man entered.
The middle-aged man has a Chinese character and a kind-hearted appearance. His name is Qin Liang, and he is Han Qianqiu's disciple who stayed in the mountain. Compared with the other disciples who left, Qin Liang's knowledge was not so good. However, Qin Liang had a pure mind and was very honest, so he stayed with Han Qianqiu.
Even now, Qin Liang is in charge of many teaching affairs of White Deer Academy. After all, Han Qianqiu is old and cannot handle affairs all the time.
Qin Liang said respectfully: "Teacher."
Han Qianqiu put down the brush in his hand, sat up straight, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qin Liang took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Teacher, Senior Brother Cao has a letter to send back."
"Oh, I'm glad to have a letter back. I'll send it by courier."
Han Qianqiu had a smile on his face.
Cao Xi came to the mountain to become an official. Han Qianqiu praised him very much and had high hopes for him. In Han Qianqiu's view, if you learn knowledge behind closed doors, it won't work. You must go down the mountain to practice.
What's more, after learning knowledge, if you don't use your talents to govern the place, wouldn't it be in vain?
After Cao Xizhi took office in the local area, letters would be sent back from time to time, all of which explained some local governance concepts and some things he had seen and heard. Every time Han Qianqiu saw it, he was extremely impressed.
Han Qianqiu took the letter from Qin Liang and read it. When he saw the contents of the letter, he was stunned for a moment. The hand holding the letter trembled slightly.
When Qin Liang saw this, he raised his eyebrows.
what happened?
There is something wrong with the teacher.
Qin Liang did not ask for the time being, but he was curious and even worried.
Could it be that something went wrong with Senior Brother Cao?
Han Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, then recovered, took a deep breath, and continued to look down. When he read the contents of the letter and placed it on the desk, tears burst into his deep eyes.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you? Could it be that something went wrong with Senior Brother Cao?"
Qin Liang became even more anxious.
Han Qianqiu came from the Xia State. When he first arrived in the Qin State, he overcame all obstacles, defeated the famous scholars of the Qin State, and subdued the famous scholars of the Qin State. He had always been calm and composed. Qin Liang has followed Han Qianqiu for so many years and has never seen Han Qianqiu lose his composure like this.
At most, Han Qianqiu would be a little distracted from time to time when he looked in the direction of Xia Kingdom and talked about his master Xunzi.
"Li Chongfu, how can you humiliate my Xun family members like this? It's too much to bully others."
After Han Qianqiu shed tears, his eyes widened with anger, and he slapped his hand on the desk. So much so that the letter flew to the ground.
Only then did Qin Liang pick it up.
After looking at it, his eyes widened.
Disciple of Xunzi.
He has another junior uncle.
Mo Yuhu was mentioned in the letter, and Qin Liang also knew that Mo Yuhu was with Cao Xizhi. He asked himself that it was nothing compared to Cao Xizhi.
Unexpectedly, there was Akadako.
Qin Liang knew Mo Yuhu, but not Chi Yuhu. Especially Lin Feng was a son of the Lin family, but he became a son-in-law. The situation was a bit complicated. Qin Liang blinked and said, "Teacher, is what Senior Brother Cao said true? Is Lin Feng too young?"
"You bastard, Palm Mouth."
Han Qianqiu glared at Qin Liang and scolded him.
Qin Liang was helpless and could only slap himself, then bowed and said: "Teacher, what are you going to do?"
Han Qianqiu said: "Qin Liang, as evidenced by Chi Jade Hu, the younger brother's identity cannot be faked, and it is impossible to falsify. What's more, the little lion comes from the Xia Guolin family, a true family of generals, with two generations of loyalty."
"I met Lin Jiuxiao when I was in the Xia Kingdom. This man is truly righteous and heroic. His grandson cannot be bad."
"Especially when my junior brother was deprived of his martial arts skills, he was still able to practice martial arts again. He is good at both civil and martial arts. How could someone like him cheat, and how could a teacher pass on the mantle at will?"
Han Qianqiu looked solemn and said: "Some things can be said. However, some things cannot be said. People like my junior brother are not people you can speculate on."
"Disciples should remember the teacher's teachings."
Qin Liang arched his back, feeling shocked.
He had followed Han Qianqiu for many years and had never seen Han Qianqiu so angry, so he knew that he had caused trouble by opening his mouth.
Seeing Qin Liang's attitude, Han Qianqiu nodded, his anger relieved a little, and continued: "Emperor Li Chongfu of the Xia Kingdom is an unruly and ignorant king. When I was in the Xia Kingdom in the past, he used to create balance and checks and balances in the court. Skills seem to control the government, but in fact, they have chilled the loyal and passionate blood of the soldiers, and chilled the pride of the loyal ministers."
"He thinks he has control over the Xia Kingdom's court, but in fact, he has lost all people's hearts."
"Now that Li Chong's house is unruly, it has affected my junior brother. It is really hateful. If the emperor is unruly, God will punish him. Here, my junior brother, I want to go and comfort him."
"What's more, when he comes to Qin, I can't ignore him. You prepare the carriage. I'm going down the mountain to Yongning County to meet my junior brother and learn about the teacher's situation."
"My junior brother is outstanding in learning, and his calligraphy is unique. How can I not go to such a person? In addition, I will call friends and pass letters to old friends, so that people will know the ignorance of Xia Emperor Li Chongfu."
Han Qianqiu looked furious and said: "I want to let the world's public opinion attack the Emperor of Xia. Although my ability is limited, I can still do something within my ability."
Qin Liang bowed his body and said, "Teacher, I admire your kindness and righteousness!"
Han Qianqiu said: "Go and prepare."
"Here!"
Qin Liang bowed in agreement, turned around and left.
Han Qianqiu sat alone in the courtyard, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes. When he left his teacher Xunzi in the past, Xunzi was still in Xia State and had not gone to Qi State.
At the beginning, the teacher never accepted any disciples.
Nowadays, they have all closed disciples and passed down the red jade and amber.
Han Qianqiu was very anxious in his heart. He wished he could have wings and fly directly to Yongning County to meet his junior brother. He would talk to his junior brother Bingzhuye at night, talk about the teacher's past situation in Xia Kingdom, and then comfort his junior brother.
