"I was naive."
Wang Zhi, who had always looked indifferent, lowered his head slightly at this time, not daring to look into his friend's eyes.
I have thought about changing my current writing style, which is like a ghost painting, and changing the world's perception that "everything is inferior, only reading is good", but if the change is at the expense of harming the interests of my brothers, then this change will be... Go to hell!
"Ha ha…"
Chen Yuyi suddenly laughed and patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder and said, "I'm just kidding you."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Zhi raised his head and asked in confusion: "I think what you said makes sense..."
Chen Jiuzhao interrupted him and said: "Well, what I said is reasonable, and it is also the idea of those students who do not support your new studies, but..."
As he spoke, he cleared his throat and waved his hand forward, looking down at the world and said: "Who am I, Chen Yuyi? How can my career be affected by abandoning parallel prose? I can trust you in all kinds of literary styles, and the public examination is also It’s not just about classic meanings and strategies, but also poetry, which is what I’m best at.”
Wang Zhi frowned when he heard this. As long as his brother was not implicated, it would be fine. As for others... when had Wang Erlang ever taken care of others?
However, Qin Abacus and Fatty Xu were speechless when they saw him like this. Just say it properly. Who did you learn from this behavior?
If you don’t learn the good ones, you will learn the bad ones!
"Let you show off!"
The two of them looked at each other and stepped forward tacitly. One of them grabbed Chen Yuyi's arm and pushed him down on the dining table. If we can't beat Wang Erlang, can we beat you, a sour scholar like you?
Chen Yuyi was pressed half of his face to the dining table, pouted and said: "Spare your life, spare your life, two brothers, I won't pretend next time, and I won't pretend anymore..."
After hearing Chen Yuyi repeatedly begging for mercy, the two of them let go of their hands and sat down separately, still moaning.
Chen Yuyi felt so miserable. Why did Wang Erlang get the thumbs up for pretending to be a pen? I, Chen Xiucai, was beaten just for pretending to be a pen...
However, Chen Yuyi learned his lesson this time and said honestly: "I just explained to you from the standpoint of a civilian student why they don't agree with your new learning. It's not that I don't agree with it, I still agree with it." Your new learner, I have long been dissatisfied with those parallel prose. They are all fancy and fancy. They only whitewash the peace, pile up rhetoric, beg for food among the old papers, and are of no help to current affairs. An article After writing for a long time, I still can’t write anything about the ugly Yinmao, so I need to change this unhealthy trend.”
When Qin Jiuzhao heard this, he also slapped the table and said: "Yes, Aba, I agree with you too. Why can you only be an official if you have good writing skills? I am proficient in all kinds of arithmetic. I have tens of thousands of dollars on the gambling table." I don’t want to waste a single penny on my hands. I know the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic by heart. Why can those rotten scholars be officials but I can’t?"
"Yes, yes, I don't want to read scriptures either. I want to read medical books. From the moment my parents died of illness, I vowed to learn medical skills in the future and not let other children be like me..."
Fatty Xu choked up again as he spoke. That's how he is, he always loves to cry and cries at every turn.
However, the three of them never teased him because he liked to cry. Instead, they all comforted him like a child.
Because Wang Zhi and the other three people knew that Fatty Xu was also born in a family of military officers. His father was a seventh-rank military officer, Zuo Yi Wugong Lang. Although his official rank was not high, the family's life was carefree. But when he was eleven years old, his family suffered continuous changes. First, his father died of the plague, and two months later, his mother also fell ill and died. Later, Xu Shuwei was picked up by his uncle in Bianjing.
Originally a happy and happy family, both parents passed away within a hundred days, and Xu Shuwei became an orphan. This is so cruel to a child. Until now, he has not been able to get out of the shadow of that year. Perhaps only eating can fill his gap. The vacancy in my heart.
Chen Yuyi gently patted Xu Shuwei's shoulder and comforted him, then looked at Wang Zhidao: "But you can't change this, brother. There are many people who can't understand the current literary style and officialdom. Why do you want to do it?" Is this such a thankless job?”
Why should I do this thankless thing...
Originally, this new study was indeed a misunderstanding, it was just a casual remark made out of anger, or it could be someone deliberately adding fuel to the flames to achieve their own goals. In short, the new study was born out of a combination of circumstances.
When I was fasting, before I fell asleep... Wang Zhi did think for a while with his eyes narrowed. He had never told anyone about his ideal of creating another world in his memory. Although Xinxue was born by mistake, Isn't this just a reflection of the world in my memory? If I want to realize this ideal, new learning must come out. I just want to plant a seed for the world from now on. I believe it will one day take root and sprout and grow into something new. Giant trees.
If I give up today and give up on my new learning, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick it up again in this life.
Even if I cannot realize this ideal in my life, as long as I can advance a little earlier, I may be able to avoid some of the tragedies that will happen in this land of China in later generations...
"Someone has to do these things, right?"
"It won't work!"
"Why?"
"Because it will offend too many people."
"Then it's okay to offend!"
"But no one will support you."
"What about the New Learning Supporters? Don't they support it? No matter what their purpose is, at least they support it now, right?"
"They only support your first and second points. They know that your subsequent theories will not succeed, so they don't care. As long as they build momentum and force the higher-ups to compromise on your first and second points, they will push you away. Go out and die.”
"Isn't there anyone who really supports this?"
"I've said this, if you still insist, then...I support you!"
"I support it too!"
"And I!"
…
At the end of the day, in the backyard of Taixue, there was a square open space surrounded by waterside pavilions and terraces. In the middle of the ground paved with bluestones was a lecture platform that could accommodate dozens of people sitting cross-legged.
The square is no longer as empty as it used to be. The lecture platform is surrounded by bustling Taixue students. From a distance, it looks completely white. It is no less crowded than the dining hall for lunch.
"Which great scholar is here to give lectures today? Why haven't I heard about it?" A student passing by asked in surprise.
The students around me asked him, "A few days ago, some foreigners came out with confusing words, calling it 'new learning'. Have you ever heard of it?"
"I've heard a little bit about it, but that saying that 'everyone can become a saint by practicing'? It's really a bit treacherous."
"That's right. Today, it is my internal students who criticize the new learning, causing the opponent to counterattack, and we have arranged to discuss it on the podium."
"Let's go and have a look."
"Go together."
As time went by, more and more students gathered in the square, and eventually the square could no longer be squeezed in, and they had to stop and watch in the pavilions and corridors.
"I'm coming…"
A loud shout came from the noisy crowd, and the crowd on one side automatically separated into an aisle, and four students entered one after another. The leader was more than seven feet tall, unusually burly, and very conspicuous. Who else could he be if he wasn't Erlang of the Wang family.
Wang Zhi walked through the crowd, listening to the words of criticism or praise from those around him, and his heart was at peace. Normally, Wang Erlang would have to give a shit or scold him, but after hearing Chen Yuyi's analysis , he suddenly was in no mood to argue with these villains who had their own evil intentions.
Maybe in their hearts, they were just a fool, a fool who charged into battle for them and stormed the camp without having to pay military pay.
But Wang Erlang doesn't care anymore. As long as they can publicize their new knowledge, someone will eventually agree with it, and then the seed can be considered planted.
They are using themselves, and they are not using them.
The four people walked onto the stage and saw four people sitting cross-legged across from them. When they saw the four people on the stage, they also stood up. Eight people on both sides saluted each other.
The number of people, time, and rules for this discussion have been decided by Chen Yuyi and Nei She the day before yesterday. However, the original purpose was to go on stage and give up after a few perfunctory sentences, so I didn’t prepare anything in advance, and I could only do it now. Wait for the other party to make a move and then use it as soon as possible.
The eight people bowed and sat cross-legged on the futon. At this time, the square gradually became quiet.
At this time, the leader opposite bowed and said: "Four classmates, you are polite. Chen Dong has met four classmates in the lower inner dormitory."
Chen Dong!
Wang Zhi was startled. They had heard this name too many times. Now it was he who came up with the idea of the "six thieves" in the imperial court. More than once, he encouraged a group of students to write to the imperial court to kill the six thieves.
Who are these six thieves?
Chen Dong, a student of Taipei University, once said: Cai Jing caused chaos in the front, Liang Shicheng conspired in the rear, Li Yan made enemies in the northwest, Zhu Meng made enemies in the southeast, Wang Fu and Tong Guan also made enemies in the Liao and Jin Dynasties, creating border conflicts. It is appropriate to kill the six thieves and spread the news to all directions to thank the world.
Look, among the six thieves, there are three prime ministers, a prefect of the palace, and a general manager. The youngest among them is the second-grade Jiedushi Zhu Meng. You are so courageous that there are no taboos. .
I heard that one time he went to a banquet. When the guests heard that Chen Dong was coming, they all left the banquet early and did not even eat. They were all afraid of interacting with him and causing harm to themselves. It is not an exaggeration to call it "ghost-seeing worry".
It's just that Wang Zhi's biological father served as a general under Tong Guan, one of the six thieves. Wang Zhi had never interacted with him to avoid suspicion, so he didn't know him when he met.
Why is he such a reckless man?
Wang Zhi cursed secretly in his heart, but his face showed no emotion and he returned the favor with his hands.
Chen Dong then said: "I heard that classmate Wang Zhiwang of Waishe once questioned the academic affairs of Zhaitang and said: I don't know why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and why the moon waxes and wanes. Since classmate Wang can say this, he also sang It’s ‘new learning’, so the new learning must be able to solve our doubts.”
When Chen Yuyi and the other three heard this, their faces turned livid and they secretly screamed, the worst has happened!
