On the way out of the palace to Bailu Academy, Shao Xi still felt a little baffled. If Xiao Yuzhi and Xiao Yuming had been close to calling themselves brothers before because they each had their own purposes, but the adult Xiao Yu started to insist on calling him brother, which made Shao Xi feel a little bit dumbfounded.
Is it possible that these royal children like to recognize their brothers so much because their family ties are usually weak? But speaking of it, there seems to be nothing wrong with Xiao Yuzhan calling him his brother. He is originally a descendant of the Xiao family and is older than Xiao Yuzhan. From a kinship perspective, he is really his brother, so there is nothing wrong with him at all.
Shao Xi didn't think too much about this matter. He just wanted to know whether Xiao Changyi would eventually hand Xiao Yuzhi over to Xiao Yuming's hands as he expected.
I even want to know how Xiao Yuming will deal with Xiao Yuzhi in the end. I hope that the prince will not be as submissive and soft-hearted as he usually shows on such critical matters.
Otherwise, Shao Xi will be disappointed in him. Whether Fengjiazhuang's great revenge ten years ago can be avenged now depends on the prince's methods.
It will take some time for this matter to come to an end, and all Shao Xi can do now is wait. The carriage came all the way to the gate of Bailu Academy. Shao Xi, wearing an official robe, attracted the attention of all the students in the academy as soon as he entered the academy.
When they saw Shao Xi, many people hurriedly came forward to salute and greet him. After all, Shao Xi had the status of master uncle in front of most disciples.
Shao Xi exchanged greetings with the disciples and teachers along the way, and finally arrived at Bai Dinggong's study in the backyard.
Now that the papermaking workshop and printing room in the academy are on track, the two old gentlemen Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai no longer have to supervise and work day and night as before, otherwise the "Government of the World" would not be completed so quickly. Completed and published.
At present, this work has been widely circulated in Daliang City, Kyoto. Many scholars have rushed to Shao Xi's Yuyan Bookstore to buy this book in order to learn the true theory of governance from it.
It is precisely because of the bookstore founded by Shao Xi that Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai are more famous in the academic world than before.
Presumably, it won't be long before all the literati in the entire Jingyuan Empire will have a copy of "On the Governance of the World", and by then the reputation of these two old gentlemen will be widely praised throughout the world.
As soon as he walked to the door of Bai Dinggong's study, he saw Du Wenqi walking out of the study. It must have been that Bai Dinggong called him to the study to arrange something.
Du Wenqi met Shao Xi as soon as he went out. Now he is not as arrogant when facing Shao Xi. You must know that Shao Xi is now a fourth-grade imperial official, and his status in the academy has long been far away. Better than him.
The initial difficulty and cynicism towards Shao Xi has now become well-known dirt about Du Wenqi's past in Bailu Academy.
Seeing Shao Xi at this time, Du Wenqi lowered his body and hurriedly came to Shao Xi and saluted. He said politely: "It turns out that junior brother is here. Junior brother was sent as an envoy to Southern Zhao by the Holy Emperor. He has been away for half a year. The two old gentlemen are talking about you every day. I wonder how junior brother is doing recently? When? Returning to Kyoto?" It is said that you should not hit anyone with a smiling face. Although Du Wenqi had made things difficult for him in the past, but now that he has put down his face and is so polite to him, Shao Xi is not a stingy person.
He returned the gift with his hands and said: "Hello, Senior Brother Du! I just returned to Kyoto yesterday, and I went to the palace early this morning to meet the Holy Spirit. I didn't even change my clothes before I rushed over to pay my respects to my mentor and Mr. Liu, and I also bothered Senior Brother Du to replace him. Junior brother, let me know." Du Wenqi was somewhat flattered to see Shao Xi being so polite to him.
According to his opinion, it would be polite for Shao Xi not to deal with him now, but to cause trouble for him. However, he didn't expect that Shao Xi was now talking to him like "Senior Brother" and "Senior Brother", which made him feel that what he had done to Shao Xi before was Things have gone a little too far.
So he hurriedly replied: "You and I, my senior brother, are you talking about trouble? I will go and inform the two gentlemen. They will be very happy if they know that you are back. Junior brother, please wait a moment." After saying that, Du Wenqi turned around and entered again. study.
Just a moment later, it was not just Du Wenqi who came out of the study, but Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai followed him out of the study.
As soon as he saw Shao Xi, Bai Dinggong pulled him over and looked him up and down with joy and excitement in his eyes.
He said in an excited tone: "It's been half a year since you left. You seem to have grown taller and stronger! Do you know how Mr. Liu and I have missed you in the past six months?"
"When the two of us were compiling "The Theory of Government", we often mentioned you. If you were there at that time, you could have given us some more suggestions, and maybe this book would be more perfect." Liu Xingzhai took over the conversation and said : "This boy is sent to Southern Zhao as an envoy on the orders of the Holy One. He is also going to seek peace for the people of the Jingyuan Empire and the people of the world. Speaking of which, he really governs the world with his actions and practices it. He is better than the two old guys like us. Writing and writing are much better!
"Besides, this kid is back, and we can still edit our "Theory of Governance"! Don't talk outside the door, come to the room and talk."
"Yes, yes! Come into the room and talk to the two of us. Do you have any new insights during your trip to Nanzhao? Do you have any new ideas about the world?" After that, The two old gentlemen took Shao Xi into the study and left Du Wenqi outside the door.
Du Wenqi sighed, turned around and left with a lonely look on his face. He didn't expect that such a young junior who he had made things difficult for him half a year ago would now have a position far above him in the academy.
I have to say that I, who has sat in the library and read thousands of books, cannot compare to Shao Xi, who has traveled thousands of miles.
After entering the room and greetings, Shao Xi inquired about the recent operations of the paper mill, printing room and bookstore.
Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai looked proud, and it could be seen that they had managed these properties very well during this period.
Bai Dinggong said to Shao Xi with a smile on his face: "Shao Xi, do you know that the papermaking workshop, printing room and Yuyan Bookstore you opened have now become good news to all the scholars in Daliang City, Kyoto.
“Not only has more people been able to read and write, but also because of the establishment of the bookstore, the world’s articles can be widely circulated among scholars, allowing more people to understand the world’s major events, and also allowing more people to understand the world’s major events. Ordinary people understand the principle of cultivating the mind and cultivating virtue.
"If your property spreads throughout the Jingyuan Dynasty in the future, people in the world will be able to understand and understand morality. From now on, there will be fewer disputes in the world. This will lay the foundation for peace and harmony in the world. You It can be said that the merits are immeasurable!" Liu Xingzhai was also very excited at this time. Although he had thought that Shao Xi was quite talented and had his own unique insights into the theory of governance, he never thought that everything Shao Xi had done had a profound impact on the theory of governance. Communication plays such an important role.
At first, he thought that Shao Xi was only helping to spread the doctrine while seeking some practical benefits for himself. Now it seems that money is secondary. What Shao Xi has done is truly something that can influence the world and future generations.
Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood Shao Xi. But in fact, he didn't know that Shao Xi's purpose was really to make money, but to seize the business opportunity where articles and academic theories were not widely circulated in the world.
However, it has to be said that the final result was good. For Shao Xi, it was both fame and fortune.
"Shao Xi! I am a little envious of your teacher now. He actually has a disciple like you, which really makes me jealous! I wonder if it is appropriate for me to accept you as my disciple now?"
"Of course it's not appropriate! Shao Xi is my inner disciple, and now you actually come to snatch my student in front of me. Isn't it true that I planted the tree and you reap the fruit? You old guy is so unreasonable?" Bai Dinggong started to see Liu Xingzhai. When Shao Xi came up with the idea, he immediately gave up.
Liu Xingzhai saw that Bai Dinggong was anxious with him, so he waved his hands quickly and explained to Bai Dinggong with a smile: "Don't be excited, Mr. Ding. I said that I would accept Shao Xi as my disciple. It doesn't mean that Shao Xi will no longer be your disciple from now on." .
"Now that you and I have co-authored "The Theory of World Governance", our two schools of thought have been merged into one. Naturally, there is no need to teach students separately in the future. I think it would be better for you and me to just work together in Shao Xi from now on. In the Yuyan Hall founded, we jointly teach our theories of governance to students all over the world.
"In this way, all students and disciples are the common students of you and me. What's wrong with this? Now that we have let go of our original obsession, naturally there is no need for any more school disputes.
"Then, what's wrong with Shao Xi becoming a disciple of both of you and me? Wouldn't it be better for you and me to work together to benefit the people of the world?" These words made Bai Dinggong deep in thought, and he had to admit Liu Xingzhai's The suggestion did make Bai Dinggong think it made sense.
Now that the original dispute has been put aside, if we can really tolerate each other, teaching together is indeed a feasible method.
So Bai Dinggong turned to look at Shao Xi, wanting to see what his opinion was. Shao Xi nodded and said: "I very much agree with Mr. Liu's suggestion. The way to learn is not to stick to the opinions of a school, but to accept the strengths of hundreds of schools with an inclusive heart, complement each other's shortcomings, and improve each other.
"In fact, in the final analysis, the theories of various schools of thought will tend to be unified in the end. There is me in you and you in me, regardless of each other! Only by integrating with each other can we finally reach perfection. All those who inherit the knowledge taught by these two old gentlemen All students are disciples of these two gentlemen." Bai Dinggong seemed to have some insights after hearing Shao Xi's words. He stroked his beard and said slowly: "You are indeed right! It seems that the teacher has not let go of his obsession. The master then agrees that you will become your disciple, Mr. Liu, and from now on you will be our common disciple." It is not the point of whose student you are, the point is that in the future, Yuyan Hall will have these two celebrities in charge, and it will become the best in Daliang City. 's school.
