"Ancestor..."
When everyone in the Jiang family saw the late sage leaving, they felt empty in their hearts, as if everything had been drained away and there was an inexplicable emptiness.
They knelt down and paid tribute to their ancestors.
The guests also performed the disciple ceremony.
"Where is the First Saint?"
"First Saint?"
At the same time, many scholars from the painting city came together, beat up the Jiang family's gatekeeper, and broke into the Jiang family's studio.
However, the ancestors of the Jiang family had already left, and these scholars suddenly seemed to have lost their souls and collapsed on the ground.
"We are late..."
"I thought I could meet the painting sage, but I missed it after all. I am destined to regret it for the rest of my life!"
"First Saint..."
Every scholar is extremely disappointed.
The senior officials of the Jiang family originally wanted to bring trouble to these scholars for trespassing on the Jiang family, but after seeing their sincerity, they finally gave up the pursuit.
At this time.
Jiang Erhe said: "You haven't seen me, the ancestor of the Jiang family, but you can admire the master who led me, the ancestor of the Jiang family, into the art of painting."
"Teacher of the First Saint?"
Buzz!
The scholars' heads were buzzing, and they glanced at Jiang Erhe in surprise, and then their eyes wandered over the old men of the Jiang family.
Several old men were embarrassed to be stared at.
Looked at Lin Yi subconsciously.
These scholars also looked over and were stunned for a moment when they saw Lin Yi wearing a white Confucian shirt.
It's him?
Are you kidding me?
Lin Yi smiled and said nothing.
"Did the Jiang family leader elect a new young master? Are you deliberately letting us see?" a scholar said.
The other readers also nodded.
In their opinion, it is indeed very similar to this situation. When praising newcomers, there will inevitably be an element of bragging.
Jiang Erhe smiled and said, "You go back!"
Seeing this, all the scholars let out a long sigh, and then returned disappointed.
But just as they turned around to leave, they heard the voices of the Jiang family's children and many guests behind them.
"The descendants of various painting sages from hundreds of schools of thought have met Master Lin!"
"Descendants of the Ma family have met Master Lin!"
The crowd's voice was loud, like Hong Zhongdalu's.
Those scholars who had just left had their eyes bulging out. What had they missed just now?
…
The Jiang family held a banquet, and all the core children and senior officials of the Jiang family accompanied Lin Yi to the meal.
During the banquet.
Lin Yi asked: "What do the Jiang family think of the imperial court?"
The elders sighed inwardly and shook their heads slightly, which also let everyone know the attitude of the elders of the Jiang family.
That is...the Jiang family will most likely become a subsidiary of the imperial court.
Jiang Erhe said: "To put it bluntly, if it were the previous imperial court, our Jiang family would not pay any attention to it."
"But now, the imperial court is very different from before. The living conditions for corrupt officials and unscrupulous scholars are constantly weakening. His Royal Highness Taishan Academy has also integrated the capital's reading and cultivation resources."
"The foundation of Zhenguo Holy Court has been weakened, and the imperial court is expected to become the common master of the world!"
Jiang Qinghe glanced at his father, probably not expecting that his father's court would rate him so highly.
This is not a flattery, but a view from the heart.
In fact... he knows best how strong Taishan Academy is.
I heard that all Qingshan Academy has surrendered and is no longer neutral, but has chosen to merge with Taishan Academy.
"Everyone in the Jiang family will submit to the court where Master Lin is present!" an elder of the Jiang family said.
The others looked slightly moved.
But they also expressed their willingness to rely on the Jiang family as long as it was a court with Lin Yi as the core.
Lin Yiman served the wine and raised his glass: "Okay, the Jiang family relies on the imperial court, and the resources of Taishan Academy will be shared with the Jiang family!"
The elders and younger generations of the Jiang family didn't quite understand.
But Jiang Qinghe's eyes lit up, and he quickly whispered a few words beside Jiang Erhe, who put down his chopsticks and stood up, saying: "Taishan Academy was founded by the prince, and Qingshan Academy has become attached to Taishan Academy. "
"There are countless poems and articles about Mingfu in Taishan Academy, and there are also many articles about conquering the country, and even... there are articles about conquering the world!"
After the words fell, there was a dead silence in the banquet. Everyone's mouths were slightly opened and they stared blankly at Jiang Erhe, the head of the Jiang family.
Articles about subjugating the country are scary enough, but there are also articles about subjugating the world?
This is outrageous.
There has been no world-shaking article in Dayan for thousands of years.
"Seriously?" A Jiang family elder said tremblingly, his body shaking uncontrollably.
The other three elders could not control their inner shock.
They don't have much time left, and they have been trapped in the Great Confucian Realm for many years. They have studied the paintings of the ancestors, but there is no way to go further.
What they lack is articles to govern the country.
But Jiang Erhe said that the Taishan Academy of Dayan Prince Lin Yi had a world-defining article... If they could understand it, they would be very sure to enter the second rank, and their life span would increase for hundreds of years.
"The world-shaking visions some time ago, the auspiciousness descending from the sky, and the birth of saints, are they the birth of Master Lin's world-shaking article?"
A senator asked in a low voice.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that there should be no one else except him who carried "The Analects of Confucius", so he nodded and said: "Probably!"
Buzz!
When the elders received Lin Yi's personal recognition, they felt as if something exploded in their minds.
Their hearts race.
Some elders couldn't wait to ask: "Master Lin, have you ever considered... suspending your study tour?"
"Suspend the study tour? This has just begun..." Lin Yi frowned slightly.
The elder said disappointedly: "I originally thought that if Master Lin suspended his study tour first, he could take a few of us old bones to Taishan Academy..."
Lin also remained silent.
Several descendants of the Jiang family protested: "Senior, you can't take all the benefits. If you want to go, just go together. Now our Jiang family...can't share the resources of Taishan Academy?"
"Yes, we are going too!"
"We can't understand the article on Zhenshi, but the article on Mingfu Zhenguo will definitely benefit us a lot!"
"That's right!"
The banquet suddenly became lively. Everyone was reluctant at first, and now they are eager to go to the capital.
Lin Yi stared at this scene blankly, then smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I go on a study tour, you can always go to Taishan Academy!"
Jiang Erhe smiled, thinking that his ancestor had appeared in time, otherwise, the Jiang family would miss this opportunity.
It might even go downhill.
At this time, Jiang Erhe asked curiously: "Master Lin, have you ever thought about where the Jiang family's next destination will be after the study tour is over?"
Lin Yi really hadn't thought about this issue, but Jiang Qinghe suggested: "The closest to our painting city is the Luo family of doctors... Master Lin can consider it!"
"Luo family?"
Lin Yi was stunned, and the figure of Luo Hongling suddenly appeared in his mind...
"When mentioning the Luo family, it reminds me of an interesting thing!"
Jiang Erhe took advantage of the wine and said with a smile: "Remember last year, didn't His Majesty propose marriage to the Luo family and want to make Luo Hongling, the daughter of the Luo family, the crown princess? But who would have thought that the head of the Luo family refused directly. Just not Do you know if Lao Luo has any regrets now... Hahaha!"
However.
But no one in the audience dared to laugh out loud.
Prince Lin Yi is here, and the Luo family refuses the royal family's proposal of marriage. Isn't this an unbearable past event for Prince Lin Yi?
Why did you just say something about exposing someone's shortcomings?
Drinking makes things worse!
