{Refresh later} Otherwise, this old gentleman may be in trouble!
"Pedant, you old man, be careful!"
Sheng Changquan explained with some amazement: "Pedant, didn't you criticize the students before, saying that the students' remarks were inappropriate and a kind of evil way?"
"Why do you, old man, look like this now?"
It turned out that when Mr. Zhuang was explaining homework to all the students, he told everyone that Sheng Changquan's "The Theory of Mie Qian" was a very bad article!
The theme and ideas are wrong, the content is inappropriate, and the whole thing is a "wicked way"!
Of course, this "evil way" was Mr. Zhuang's assessment in front of everyone, but in fact, he was just protecting Sheng Changquan.
After the evaluation, Mr. Zhuang at that time confiscated Sheng Changquan's partial article and put it in his sleeve. It was precisely because of this that no one had seen Sheng Changquan's article.
"well!"
Hearing Sheng Changquan's question, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but sigh.
"Chang Quan, you still don't understand how cruel the battle between these schools is!"
Mr. Zhuang followed Sheng Changquan's arm and carefully sat back in the pavilion, explaining: "Right now, the mainstream of Confucianism and Taoism is Neo-Confucianism, which pays attention to kings, ministers, fathers and sons, and is extremely disdainful of other theories!"
"Among them, not to mention your idea of 'the people are the most valuable and the king is the least important'!"
Sheng Changquan was silent.
In fact, Sheng Changquan is not unaware of what Mr. Zhuang said. According to his understanding, Neo-Confucianism, the current mainstream of Confucianism and Taoism, is actually a doctrine that cooperates with feudal rulers to consolidate their rights and enslave the people.
Although there are many merits in it, it also has great disadvantages and will cause the destruction of human nature.
The Neo-Confucianism of this world is similar to the Cheng-Zhu theory of the previous life, which emphasizes "preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires." In this world, this theory is like a big, upright stone. Although it is somewhat thick, it can easily lead to bump.
"Pedant, don't you think this idea of mine is wrong?"
Sheng Changquan lowered his eyes and asked softly.
"Wrong? What's wrong?"
At this moment, Mr. Zhuang's eyes inexplicably shone brighter than the stars!
"Chang Quan, you must stick to your own ideas and thoroughly improve your theory. I have a hunch that this theory is the true meaning of our Confucianism!"
At this time, Mr. Zhuang was so excited that he began to forget to call himself "I" instead.
"If it weren't for my old age and running out of time, I would definitely work with you to perfect this theory!"
Mr. Zhuang was very excited!
"Pedant, don't get excited!"
Seeing that Mr. Zhuang was almost out of breath with excitement, Sheng Changquan immediately comforted him: "Students will definitely perfect this theory if they listen to you. Don't worry, old man!"
"Um!"
Seeing that Sheng Changquan's guarantee did not seem to be fake, Mr. Zhuang finally let go of the heavy burden in his heart.
"Chang Quan, you have to remember that you must perfect it thoroughly!"
"Because it is the true way to govern a country!"
…
In the end, Mr. Zhuang said a lot to Sheng Changquan, but in the final analysis, he only had one meaning, that is, he hoped that he could strengthen his beliefs, thoroughly improve this theory, and even carry forward his thoughts in the future.
From the words of Mr. Zhuang Ru, it is not difficult for Sheng Changquan to see that the other party's philosophy is very similar to his own. In fact, he already has a lot of arguments in his belly to prove that "the king is undervalued and the people are valued"!
After all, Mr. Zhuang's experience is not comparable to that of Sheng Changquan.
It's just that Sheng Changquan took advantage of his previous life and was able to extract one or two famous quotes from several great books in his previous life. This made Mr. Zhuang very shocked. He felt that Sheng Changquan was a good person and he was inexplicably compatible with him.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Zhuang chose Sheng Changquan as his successor and planned to entrust him with everything he had seen, heard, and thought in his life to help Sheng Changquan perfect the system. A groundbreaking theory.
In fact, it is not that there are no ideas similar to Sheng Changquan in the world today. However, under the strong suppression of the mainstream Confucianism and the imperial court, it is difficult to get ahead. This is the reason why Mr. Zhuang has a high regard for Sheng Changquan.
He felt that Sheng Changquan was extremely talented and had both civil and military skills. The most important thing was that he did not have the pedantry of a scholar, and he did not lose the backbone of a scholar. He was able to bend and stretch, and had a strong heart.
In the not-too-distant future, he will definitely become a giant figure who stirs up the storm, and only with this will he be able to complete the birth of this theory under huge pressure.
"If this son can inherit my mantle, then I will have no regrets!" Mr. Zhuang thought silently in his heart.
Although Sheng Changquan could not detect the specific thoughts of Mr. Zhuang, it could be seen from his demeanor, actions, and even various methods that the other party really had no ill intentions and even repeatedly extended a helping hand to help him solve some difficult problems. .
Therefore, in front of Mr. Zhuang, Sheng Changquan finally agreed to the matter!
After all, from the bottom of his heart, Sheng Changquan also had this idea.
…
Ze and Tang.
"Brother!"
"You're back!"
Minglan was sitting in Sheng Changquan's courtyard at this time, waiting for news from him.
"Sister!"
Sheng Changquan was not surprised when he saw Minglan. He obviously knew that she was in his yard.
"Sister, don't worry, the pedantic old man has already accepted my cousin's thank you gift!"
"This is how it's settled!"
The "this thing" Sheng Changquan said not only referred to the letter of introduction from Xiangshan Academy, but also referred to the fact that Jiang Xingzong would attend the Shengjia Book School, although he would also listen to Mr. Zhuang's teachings.
After all, the exams at Xiangshan Academy have not yet started. In addition to familiarizing himself with his own living environment, Jiang Xingzong also needs to study more to try to catch up with the study progress of Xiangshan Academy.
Because Jiang Xingzong's previous learning environment was not as good as that of Bianjing City, and the private school teachers who studied in the countryside were limited in ability, his writing foundation was not very solid. Otherwise, he would not have been born a boy at this age, and he was not as good as Sheng Changquan. Same.
You know, Jiang Xingzong is one year older than Sheng Changfeng, which means that he is twice as old as Sheng Changquan, plus two years more!
Therefore, Jiang Xingzong's gift this time was not only to repay Mr. Zhuang's kindness, but also to meet Mr. Zhuang in a roundabout way, so that he could test him and prepare to enter his school.
This is an unspoken rule for students to enter school, even if they are not enrolling formally, but just auditing, it is still the same. They need to be disciplined and must undergo examinations by teachers.
From this, we can also see the strong hierarchies between kings and ministers, father and son, master and disciple in this world.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. After all, etiquette is the solid cornerstone of today's world, but it is not enough. If the world regards it as a guideline, even ignores the law of the country, and looks at the world based on the etiquette of monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, then what will happen to the people of the world? How innocent?
Then again, Mr. Zhuang just accepted the gift for Sheng Changquan's sake, which was equivalent to being under his tutelage.
In other words, Mr. Zhuang didn't even intend to test Jiang Xingzong this time, and simply accepted him as a disciple to observe.
However, he is just an auditor, so there is no need to be so solemn.
"call!"
"As long as the scholar agrees!"
Minglan patted her chest and finally let go of the worry in her heart.
Although she knew that it was unlikely that Mr. Zhuang would refuse, Minglan's heart was still pounding before she got the letter because it was related to her family.
"Sister!"
At this time, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking about what he had promised Mr. Zhuang.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Minglan raised her head curiously, as if she thought of something, and quickly asked: "Could it be that something has changed?"
"Did something happen to my cousin's admission into the academy?"
"Huh? No! No!"
Sheng Changquan quickly shook his head and comforted Minglan and said, "Sister, this is not the case!"
"I suddenly remembered something else that I need to tell you!"
"Um?"
Minglan calmed down: "Isn't this a good thing?"
"But, do you have something to tell me?"
Sheng Changquan did not speak immediately. Instead, he pulled Minglan and pushed her back to sit in her seat. Then he explained: "Sister, I do have something to discuss with you."
"That's right, that's right..."
Facing Minglan's concerned eyes, Sheng Changquan hesitated and was suddenly speechless.
He knew that his sister didn't have many caring relatives in the Sheng family, and she had no other relatives besides himself that she could rely on at the same age. Now that he was going to go on a study tour with Mr. Zhuang, he was really a little worried. Reluctant to part with it.
"What is it?"
At this time, Minglan frowned and asked anxiously: "Brother, what's the matter with you?"
Although Sheng Changquan hadn't spoken yet, Minglan was already vaguely guessing. Knowing the news from his mouth, she might not be so good!
"Sister!"
Sheng Changquan gritted his teeth and finally told the truth.
"Sister, I have already agreed to study with him in the next few days!"
"Study Tour?"
Minglan was shocked!
"Brother, you..."
Just when Minglan was about to say something, she suddenly stopped!
She is no stranger to study tours. She knows that this is a kind of experience for scholars, and it is also a good way for them to increase their knowledge and experience, and it will be of great benefit to their future.
As a sister, she shouldn't have stopped him at all, not to mention that Sheng Changquan was accompanying Mr. Zhuang on a study trip!
After all, with Mr. Zhuang as an old horse who knows his way around, Sheng Changquan's gains will be huge after this long trip!
"Brother, how long will your study tour last?"
Minglan thought for a long time, and finally asked softly.
Sheng Changquan was also a little sad, but since he had promised Mr. Zhuang, he would naturally not regret it, not to mention that he himself wanted to go on such a trip so that he could understand the world more intuitively.
"Sister, the scholar told me!"
Sheng Changquan looked directly into Minglan's eyes and said, "His old man is waiting for me to do this. After he passes the college examination and gets the title of scholar, he will go on a long trip with him!"
"The specific time is not clear, but I think it will take two or three years!"
Sheng Changquan gave the answer based on his own estimation.
"What? Does it take so long?"
Minglan's eyes flashed with deep reluctance. She took her brother's hand and said with a somewhat sad expression: "Brother, are you really going to go for so long?"
"But, I heard someone say that this long trip can be done in batches. It doesn't have to be all at once for such a long time. Can't it be done for a year and a half?"
What Minglan said is true. Just like Sheng Changfeng, he once had a "study tour".
However, his study tour only lasted for more than four months. Moreover, it was said to be a "study tour", but in fact it was just a few prodigal children who went out to look for inspiration.
But even so, after Sheng Changfeng came back, he still looked like he had been in the mountains. He was so embarrassed that he said that he would never go out for "traveling" again in the future, because those days were too difficult.
"Sister!"
Sheng Changquan smiled helplessly: "Sister, I am traveling with a scholar this time!"
"You also know that the scholar is getting old, and this trip can almost be regarded as his last interest!"
"If I don't let him have a good time this time, I'm afraid he will regret it in the future!"
As the saying goes, if something happens to a disciple, he must obey him. As the successor chosen by Mr. Zhuang Ru, he naturally wants to follow his teacher's wishes and let him spend a happy old age.
And this long journey is what Mr. Zhuang defines as "happiness".
After hearing Sheng Changquan's reasons, Minglan fell silent.
a long time.
"Brother, you are right!"
Minglan silently changed her mind and began to agree: "At this age, this is indeed the way it should be!"
"but!"
Minglan changed her voice and said immediately: "If that's the case, then you must be more careful outside, take good care of yourself, and take care of the academics..."
Although Sheng Changquan hadn't set off yet, Minglan was already worried.
Minglan talked for a long time, but Sheng Changquan showed no sign of being impatient. He just kept smiling and quietly listened to his sister's story.
This heartwarming scene between the two siblings really made everyone in the courtyard jealous!
The voices of these people walking became much lighter, and they were unwilling to disturb the siblings who depended on each other. Even the always noisy Platycodon rarely maintained a ladylike posture and hid quietly aside. Looking at the siblings with envy.
Sometimes, even though there are few relatives, having one person who treats each other sincerely can bring peace of mind!
