For the incident of burning Daxing Palace, people in the world have mixed reviews, and some people even jumped out to accuse Yang Tong of burning the palace built by his ancestors, and he will be punished by God one day.

If someone dares to say in the Great Sui, even if you are a Confucian, you will be scolded, Daxing Palace was originally Yang Tong's 'ancestral home', but now it is occupied by robbers, and he has no ability to ask for it back, what can he do if he burns it?

As for Yang Tong himself, he naturally doesn't know how others talk about himself, and even if he does, he scoffs, the family and the scholars have been scolded and scolded like that over the years, he should sleep and eat as he should, and he didn't see a piece of meat or a hair missing! It's not boring enough to care and talk.

He has a lot to do, and the burning of Daxing Palace is just an unexpected gain, and it will be over after that.

Now that the scientific examination is imminent, the number of people who have registered for the examination is as high as 36,800, which is the highest number in the history. The imperial examination has been organized for two consecutive sessions, and the Ministry of Rites and the School Department have long had experience, and all preparations have been arranged in an orderly manner.

There is an age limit for the imperial examination in the Great Sui, and no one over the age of 35 is allowed to participate in the scientific examination. Because once there is a ladder to heaven, there will be many people who do not listen to the dead reading of things outside the window in order to be lifted, and the cost of reading is high in these years, if there are two students in the family who do not produce things, then, a well-off family will be poor because of the two of them, if they are admitted, it is okay, if they can't pass the exam, a good home will be ruined. Set an age limit, so that people who have more than years of experience will not have the heart of a career and focus on running a family and nurturing future generations.

At the same time, it also avoids the embarrassing phenomenon of admitting an old man who is sixty or seventy years old. Use him, maybe he will hang up in a few days, he has not contributed to the court, and he has to compensate for a funeral fee and pension. No, people are indeed in the middle, so how does the court explain to the people of the world? There is an age limit, and these problems are not a problem.

Yecheng West.

The magnificent school palace stands at the foot of Longshan Mountain, on the shore of Zhangshui

There is a huge and flat bluestone square at the main entrance of the school palace, north of the square is a sixty-six bluestone steps long, the steps are divided into three layers, every twenty-two is one layer, the steps are a solemn and magnificent archway before, the plaque of the archway is engraved with 'Tsinghua School Palace', the font is square and dense, the strokes are horizontal and light and vertical, it looks like the pen is strong and round, the momentum is solemn and majestic!

"Tsinghua School Palace" is backed by Longshan Mountain, Zhangshui, covers an extremely wide area, such as a painting of heavy brushwork, magnificent atmosphere of Danqing is slowly spreading, this is a three-dimensional campus hidden in the forest in the middle of the mountain, the mountains and rivers face each other, and it is uniquely endowed by nature.

This school palace is designed and built by the master craftsman Yu Wenwen and Li Chun, the waiter of the Ministry of Engineering, with a total of 20 colleges, more than 180 three-story lecture halls, libraries, reading rooms, conference rooms, canteens, dormitories, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions... The whole nine yards.

"What a magnificent school! It's not much worse than Shenwu Palace. At this time, Luo Shixin, who was beside Yang Tong, was a little amazed.

"Do you want to go in and study, too?" Yang Tong asked with a smile.

"Me? Forget it! Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "If there is a martial arts palace and a military academy palace, I would like to listen to the lectures of the gentlemen." ”

"General Luo, I don't know!" After hearing this, Yang Gongren introduced with a smile: "Tsinghua Academy Palace is divided into multiple colleges, and the military and military are included in the martial arts academy, and the martial arts academy occupies one-third of the territory, and the training ground alone has twenty acres. ”

"Haha! Good thing, good thing! Wei Chigong on the side grinned and said, "My boys will be sent here to study in the future." ”

"Not only your family, but also the meritorious children can study here!"

"That's a good idea!"

While a few people were talking, they saw Kong Yingda walking down briskly from above with a group of teachers.

"Meet Your Highness." The crowd bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite!" Yang Tong waved his hand, let everyone calm down, and then looked at an energetic old man behind Kong Yingda, this old man was full of white hair, majestic, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, giving the old man an otherworldly charm.

When Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng and others saw the old man, they hurriedly saluted and said, "The juniors have seen Liu Gong. ”

It was Yang Tong, and when he saw this old man, he also gave a deep salute: "The younger generation respectfully respects Liu Gong!" Liu Gong has been doing well lately. ”

"It's very good, haha, what His Royal Highness has done, although it is not tolerated by the world's families, but everything is a great initiative that benefits the future, and other people's gifts are accepted by the old and decayed, and the gifts of His Royal Highness are deserved by the old decay." The old man turned sideways slightly, let Yang Tong salute, and resolutely refused.

The old man's name is Liu Xuan, the word Guangbo, a native of Jingcheng in the river, is a master of scripture in the Sui Dynasty, and at the same time he is also a great educator of Botong Baijia and Botong ancient and modern, and another master Liu Mourning is called 'Erliu', which is a rare master of scripture in a hundred years.

Master Liu Zhuo has been working for many years now.

And Liu Xuan is also over seventy years old, but this old spirit is very good. He was very knowledgeable and studied scriptures, astronomy, almanacs, and mathematics. He believed in the "Pseudo-Ancient Texts and Rites" and the "Pseudo-Ancient Texts and Confucian Biography". There are many criticisms of the pre-Confucian chapters. He also pointed out that there were more than 150 errors in the authoritative work of Emperor Wen and the "Zuo Chuan Ji Jie" edited by Chen Du. He is the author of 10 volumes of "Analects and Discussions", 10 volumes of "Spring and Autumn Attack", 12 volumes of "Five Classics of Correct Names", 5 volumes of "Discussion of the Book of Filial Piety", 40 volumes of "Spring and Autumn Commentary", 20 volumes of "Discussion of Shangshu", 40 volumes of "Discussion of Mao's Poems", and one volume of "Preface to Poems".

When the official Shangshu asked Liu Xuan what talent he had learned, he said without modesty: "Zhou Li, Liji, Mao's poems, Shangshu, Ram, Zuo Chuan, Xiaojing, Analects, Kong, Zheng, Wang, He, Fu, Du, etc. Zhou Yi, etiquette, and Gu Liang have little effort; Shi Zi's anthology, good words and beautiful things, salty recitation in the heart; The astronomical calendar is subtle. As for the public and private Wenhan, there is no fake hand. ”

Liu Xuan's self-confession to the Ministry of Shangshu was not boasting, he was indeed a university scholar who was proficient in hundreds of schools and had a vast talent.

In history, when Kong Yingda compiled "Shangshu Justice" and "Mao's Poetry Justice", he quoted Liu Xuan's Yishu, and he can become a generation of Confucianism as a plagiarist! You can imagine how powerful the original creator Liu Xuan is.

However, there is a 'stain' that has to be said.

In his early years, when Liu Xuan's talent was revealed, he was recommended by the magistrate to work in the imperial court. He has revised the history of the country, has written the legal calendar, and has also examined the internal history of the group. He was on duty in the three provinces of Shangshu, Menxia, and Neishi, but he did not have a single official position. To put it bluntly, the imperial court just used him as a free one. As a result, life is in dire straits, and the family cannot afford to pay taxes. The magistrate went to urge, and he complained to the internal history order. The Ministry of Internal History asked him to find Shangshu Province, and Shangshu Province asked him to find Menxia Province, and Menxia Province pushed it to Shangshu Province.

At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui acquired the world's Yishu, and the desperate Liu Xuan simply used his talent to forge more than 100 volumes of books, titled "Lianshan Yi", "Lu Shiji", etc., and then sold them to the government. was later exposed, Liu Xuan almost lost his life for this, and since then he has been saddled with a vulgar notoriety.

He made books for money, and he was completely poor. Not to mention being hungry all day, the court is still forcing taxes to be tight, he can't do anything except academics, what can he do if he doesn't write books and sell them for money? Can't you starve to death? After this incident, Liu Xuan was reprimanded for being talented, immoral, and of low character.

Under the propaganda of those who were jealous of his talents, an academic master was ruined like this.

Liu Xuan lost his official errand, and in frustration, he returned to his hometown to teach for a living. Ling Jing, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce, and Song Zhengben, Dou Jiande's former mastermind, were both Liu Xuan's personal disciples.

Later, Yang Tong learned that Liu Xuan was still alive, so he invited him out to do things, and announced the world to clear his name, because Yang Jian bought 'Yishu' at that time, and Yishu has two meanings, one is to refer to the ancient text "Shangshu", and the other is anecdotes, and Liu Xuan's "Lianshan Yi", "Lu Shiji" and other books are classified into the second interpretation, which is not considered "fake", let alone bears the notoriety of vulgarity.

Yang Tong is the soul of today's Great Sui, he came forward to whitewash such a master, and the people under his rule naturally supported it, although the literati in other places vigorously refuted it, but they couldn't get around the second explanation of 'Yishu', and finally it was over.

However, to be able to get the recognition of the people under the rule of the Great Sui, Liu Xuan is already very satisfied, and his books such as "Lianshan Yi" and "Lu Shiji" are now appearing in the "Great Sui Library", because they involve a lot of anecdotes, and the sales are not as good.

Liu Xuan is not a strategist, but he is definitely the greatest educator of this era, but Yang Tong wasted a lot of effort to persuade this old man to join the 'Tsinghua Academy' and serve as a sacrificial wine (equivalent to the principal).

However, Liu Xuan and Yang Dong agreed on three chapters of the law, he taught his disciples to never ask whether they were rich or poor, and hoped that scholars could study, not to mention the rich, if they were poor disciples, Yang Tong needed to provide teaching fees for this student.

In this regard, Yang Tong naturally will not disagree, the purpose of his school is to break the family's educational monopoly, and Yixue is like this. So Liu Xuan's request is not a request at all.

Yang Tong didn't stubbornly talk to the old man, and said with a smile: "Gong Liu, can our school palace accommodate more than 30,000 candidates?" ”

"If you can tolerate it, not to mention 30,000, 100,000 is not a problem. Your Highness, please come inside and have a look. ”

"Liu Gong, please!"

Soon after, the group visited the campus, a grand school, neatly placed desks and benches, almost the same as the school classrooms in the previous life, which made Yang Tong have a sense of time and space.

Liu Xuan introduced: "Your Highness, there are 300 seats in a school, and there are 900 seats on the third floor!" There are 188 such schools in the Tsinghua Academy, which means that 1780,000 people can study and take exams at the same time, not counting the martial arts academy. ”

For Yang Tong's generosity in education, Liu Xuan admires it very much.

After that, a group of people visited the student dormitory building, the cafeteria, the high and low auditorium, the 'teacher's office', and so on, all of which were just like the schools of later generations.

Although Liu Xuanren is old, his thinking is quite agile, not only acting as a guide with ease, but also talking about various advanced layouts and praising them.

After a rough walk, the group arrived at a garden and sat down.

"Gong Liu! I flipped through many books and found that only the Southern Dynasty Master Zhou Xingsi wrote the "Thousand Character Text", this article is a masterpiece of enlightenment, but only this one, it is really monotonous. I have a "Three Character Classic" and a "Disciple Rules" here, and I also ask Liu Gong to check it to see if it can be widely promoted. Yang Tong said with a smile.

"Oh?" Liu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yang Tong and said: "His Royal Highness's poems, words, voices, and rhythms have both style and bones, breaking the sluggish style of beautiful forms, empty connotations, and narrow-minded since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and moving the wind and snow, pavilions, and love of men and women to the rivers and mountains. The expansion of the subject matter and the seriousness of the ideology have given new vitality to the poems and enhanced the ideological significance of the poems. There is no one else in the contemporary era, and he can be called the emperor of the literati. Although there are not many works of His Royal Highness, the old decay has read them one by one! Presumably, the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules" do not disappoint. ”

Yang Tong blushed a little when he was praised, took the two classic enlightenment books from one of the guards, and handed them to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan first read the "Three Character Classic", the more he read, the more frightened he became, and the more he read, the more he admired! When it came to "Reaching the ...... of Sui Yi Tuyu", the historical facts came to an abrupt end.

The next paragraph is to emphasize that learning should be diligent and tireless, and only by laying a good foundation for learning from an early age can we grow up to "go up to the king and go down to the people".

This "Three Character Classic" is easy to understand and takes exemplary materials, including literature, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography, human ethics and righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, and so on, and the core idea includes "benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, and filial piety." "When children recite the "Three Character Classic", they will understand the traditional Chinese culture and general history, as well as the truth of life and work contained in the story.

The sentences are short and catchy.

It's just amazing!

Even if it is a well-known Confucian, no one can write such a strange article!

Liu Xuan is sure that this book will be popular all over the world and become the best enlightenment book for children!

Looking at the "Disciple Rules" again, it is also catchy, listing the rules and norms that should be adhered to at home, going out, treating others, receiving objects and studying.

This made Liu Xuan shocked again!

Liu Xuan couldn't help himself with excitement, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and respectfully put the two enlightenment chapters in his hand on the table, he stood up and shook Yang Tong to the end, "I can read such strange texts, and I have no regrets in my life." ”

"Gong Liu is polite!" Yang Tong smiled and avoided it, "It seems that it can be used as a teacher." ”

Liu Xuan said very excitedly: "Deserved, deserved!" Not only children should read, but adults should also read, and use the truth in the text as a standard for learning and life! ”

"Since Liu Gong agrees, then let's promote it under the rule."

"It has to be promoted, and the sooner the better."
