After staying in Chang'an for a while, Song Mu couldn't bear the disturbance, so he flew away from Chang'an and went straight to his home.
The reason for doing this was also because Song Mu wanted to find a quiet place to digest his newly improved literary realm.
Therefore, Song Mu's return this time was silent. Song Mu did not want to be disturbed by all parties anymore, especially in the current situation. With Song Mu being granted the title of Ci Sect, Shiyang County immediately became the focus of countless literati in the Wen Dynasty. They came from all directions towards Shiyang County, all eager to get closer to Song Mu.
If they knew that Song Mu had returned to Shiyang County, it would definitely cause a shock immediately and disrupt Song Mu's plan.
Therefore, after Song Mu came to Shiyang County quietly, he lived in seclusion in his home. Only a few close people knew about Song Mu's return.
"Master, now that you are back, you can take a look at the current situation of Xuanyuan Academy. There have been many changes in the academy this year, especially the bestowal granted to you by the imperial court. During this period, Xuanyuan Academy's The mountain gate is almost broken by someone."
"Today's Xuanyuan Academy is also well-known."
At home in Shiyang County, Li Dong came to visit immediately after hearing that Song Mu had returned. At this moment, he was chatting with Song Mu about the current situation in the house, and he was very happy for a while.
Song Mu just listened to the other party introducing the current situation, and nodded slightly at this moment, and then spoke to the other party.
"It seems that the academy is on the right track. I wonder what the academic style is now?"
"According to the Master's instructions, several lectures and debates are held every month in the academy. The students actively participate in them and it is very lively."
Li Dong was talking to Song Mu like this, but at the moment he frowned slightly and continued with a slightly lonely expression.
"It's just that after the Lin'an Mansion incident, the situation changed a little. During those days, the disciples in this academy discussed it fiercely, and it even caused everyone to be indignant during several lectures. For this matter, I and all the masters spent a day It took a lot of effort to finally suppress it."
"It's just that these students' enthusiasm is rising, and if they suppress it, they don't know whether it is good or bad."
Song Mu also raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This was expected by Song Mu. After all, most of the students who came to Xuanyuan Academy to study agreed with Song Mu's teachings, so they were naturally filled with indignation towards this kind of thing.
When he said this, Li Dong looked up at Song Mu and said.
"Master, I don't know if you have any good ideas for this matter?"
"Now that you have created a sect of Ci and are famous all over the world, countless students also respect you very much. At this time..."
Song Mu also nodded silently and spoke now.
"Your Highness is right to think so. It turns out that when I was in Chang'an, Your Majesty also discussed this matter in the court. At that time, I felt that this matter was inappropriate, so I agreed to resolve it personally."
Li Dong also had a look on his face when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Song Mu would take over this matter on his own, and it seemed that he was going to concentrate on solving the matter this time.
Li Dong looked confused for a moment, but Song Mu opened his mouth to explain.
"I don't know when this dispute between schools has broken away from the battle of rationality. These students are originally eager to learn, but this dispute between schools is a waste of energy. It is really a pity."
Li Dong nodded cautiously. This was also something that Li Dong was extremely sad about. Song Mu was also willing to deal with the matter. Li Dong felt relieved.
After all, Song Mu's prestige is at its peak now, and he has a transcendent status in the hearts of these students.
Song Mu looked thoughtful at the moment, and after a moment he spoke to Li Dong.
"I have been thinking about it for many days. This matter cannot be solved by persuasion. Since it is a dispute between schools, I think we should have an open and honest school debate."
"School debate?"
Li Dong straightened up and looked at Song Mu with interest.
"But Master, are these schools willing to come when the time comes?"
Song Mu nodded, his eyes were very calm at this moment, and he spoke immediately.
"With regard to Lin'an, various schools of thought must be surging with thoughts. Such an invitation must come back."
"Literature has reached this day, and it is natural that many schools of thought have emerged, but after all, nothing can change away from the original sect, and some debates are really unnecessary."
"I also hope that this time I can resolve the estrangement in everyone's hearts, and that the culture of the dynasty will go smoothly in the future."
Seeing Song Mu's emotional words, Li Dong knew that Song Mu must be completely sure about this matter, and he nodded heavily with a lot of expectations on his face.
"Then I will start preparations immediately and wait for that day to arrive."
Song Mu also smiled and nodded. Now he looked at Li Dong again and asked.
"It seems that Xuanyuan Academy has improved to a higher level under His Highness's care. During this period, I almost never asked about it. I wonder if Your Highness has any doubts about this academy now?"
Hearing Song Mu's question, Li Dong frowned slightly, and then said to Song Mu.
"The current situation of the academy is the result of Master and all the masters' mutual advice. But speaking of fact, I do have one thing that I am quite confused about, and I would like to ask masters to clarify my doubts."
Song Mu then motioned to Li Dong to continue.
"This matter is actually a batch of craftsman's books sent by Huai Tong from Yingzhou not long ago. It is said to be the words of the Master, and the net can teach this ingenious thing in the academy."
"In this case, we have to hire several craftsmen to teach us. We don't understand why we need to teach such strange skills in academies, and what use does it have with our practice?"
Song Mu also looked calm when he heard the other party's doubts, and just nodded and said.
"The thing your Highness mentioned was indeed what I instructed Huai Tong to do. As for what happened..."
"Your Highness, let me ask you, why do all the scholars in the world study so hard?"
Li Dong was silent for a moment before he raised his hands and said.
"Of course, those four sentences that the Master once said are for the sake of the supreme truth for the scholars of our Wen Dynasty. "
Song Mu immediately nodded when he heard this explanation.
"Since His Highness said that studying is for the sake of the people of our literary dynasty, in other words, everything we do should be for the sake of the common people in the world?"
Li Dong raised his head, but immediately nodded in agreement, while Song Mu continued.
"Then Your Highness should also know that the current situation of the Wen Dynasty and all the people in this world can be saved if we try our best?"
Li Dong paused and looked at Song Mu.
"When we meet a monster, we can still fight to the death, but the people of our Wen Dynasty are just a pile of blood and food in front of the monster, and there is no threat at all."
"In this world, not everyone can control literary power. So is there really no power that ordinary people can control, something that can at least guarantee their temporary safety?"
Li Dong was stunned and couldn't say anything for a moment, while Song Mu just looked away at the moment.
"What I want to do is to hope that this academy can learn these amazing skills and create those iron and wood weapons, so that at least the weak people of our Wen Dynasty can have some strength to fight."
"Not only that, in the future the Song Ci sect will be strong, and this ingenious learning should also be a knowledge that all disciples must master."
When Li Dong heard this, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
