Chapter 678: Yingchuan Chen Family
Yingchuan County is a beautiful place, green mountains and green waters, fertile land, although after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but compared with the desolation of other places has been prosperous and lively, and the people here are simple, look at the people who come and go, although they are small people in the streets, but they are also humble and polite, a faction of Sven, worthy of being the birthplace of celebrities in the Three Kingdoms period, counting, eight or nine out of ten celebrities of the Three Kingdoms are from here.
Yingchuan County is mostly mountainous, so Yingchuan Academy is built against the mountains, and the academy is located on the outskirts of the city. It was originally a village of the wealthy Xun family in Yingchuan, and it was donated as a school after the establishment of the academy.
Ma Chao tied the horse to the stump, left his relatives and guards to wait outside, and walked into the most influential academy in the late Han Dynasty with Xu Shu alone.
The famous Yingchuan Academy, no tall walls, no gilded plaques, no brass beast-faced door knockers, low walls painted snow white, a wooden door that is obviously old and old is opened, and there is a black lacquer red wooden plaque hanging above the main entrance, with four big words written on it: Yingchuan Academy, signed: Mr. Shui Jing. The font is strong and powerful, red and black reflect each other, red as blood, black as the night sky, perfectly combined, calm and dignified.
Enter the gate, walk through the bluestone road, is facing a big house, the house is square, the blue bricks are built, there are carved tiles, the center of the house is a big incense case, the portrait of Confucius is hung behind the incense case, there are a few sticks of incense inserted in the brass incense burner, the cigarette smoke rises slowly, Zhejiang and Zhejiang are scattered, through the side door, it is the place to read, the low table is full of books, the cushions are scattered around, the exquisite guqin is placed aside, Ma Chao gently plucked the strings, the tone is mellow and crisp.
"Yingchuan Academy is really profound and elegant, I don't know at this time, why is there no one at this time?" Ma Chao opened his mouth in wonder, wondering why the huge Yingchuan Academy was so silent.
"The lord doesn't know that Yingchuan Academy is not an ordinary school. Following the teaching method of "reading thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles", every hot summer, there will be a great Confucian of the Xun family to lead his disciples to enjoy the mountains and bamboos to increase their understanding. Presumably at this time, someone is just in a hurry, right? Xu Shu had studied at Yingchuan College with Mr. Pang Degong, so he knew a lot about the customs and work of Yingchuan College.
"Mr. Sima Hui and Mr. Shui Jing took refuge in Jingzhou in the early years. At this time in Yingchuan College, which sage preached and solved the doubts? Ma Chao knew that in the late Han Dynasty, two of the most famous colleges were the two, one was Yingchuan College here, and the other was naturally Jingzhou College.
Among the two colleges, Yingchuan College was the most famous college in the late Han Dynasty. There have been a lot of 'ghost talents', 'wonderful talents', 'Wang Zuozhicai', 'governing talents', and it can even be said that Yingchuan College has a great relationship with the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, which makes the reputation of Yingchuan College in later generations.
Of course, it does not mean that Yingchuan College is rich and powerful and can confront the power of the central government, nor does it mean that the power of Yingchuan College manipulates the government and changes the situation with one hand. Rather, it is said that the students of Yingchuan College, born in troubled times, were directly involved in several major political events at that time, and even indirectly affected the status, behavior and political situation of the late Han scholars.
It was not until the later period that Mr. Shui Jing Pang Degong and Sima Hui moved to Jingzhou to avoid the Yellow Turban Rebellion, established Jingzhou College, and cultivated Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and other pillars of the Shu Han Dynasty, so that the Jingzhou School could compete with Yingchuan Academy.
However, at this time, it is Yingchuan College that is in the limelight. At this time, Yingchuan College was ripe and ripe: Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and others had already sought their masters, and they were showing their grandeur on the stage of the Han Dynasty. On the side of Jingzhou College, the first batch of graduates, it seems that only Xu Shu and Shi Tao have been included in the Ma family, and others such as the four phases of Shu and Han, some have not even been born. And the famous Zhuge Kongming was just a twelve-year-old kid at this time........
"The lord doesn't know that Yingchuan College and Jingzhou College are in the same breath. At that time, Sima Hui and Mr. Shui Jing were only invited by Yingchuan College. Just like at this time, after Cui Zhouping's officialdom was discouraged, he came to Yingchuan College to teach. When Xu Shu said this, he looked around left and right, stared at the side door for a moment, and then continued proudly: "And as Shu said, how can Yingchuan Academy use Mr. Yanyu?" ”
After saying this, Xu Shu also glanced at Ma Chao. And what a keen person is Ma Chao? He found out that someone was eavesdropping behind the side door earlier than Xu Shu, but he felt that the person was not threatening at all, so he didn't have an exit. Seeing Xu Shu's eyes at this time, how could he still understand what was going on? Immediately pretending to be surprised, he asked Xu Shu loudly: "As the military advisor said, what left here to teach, the six dragons that were retained among the 'Xun's Eight Dragons' that were praised by the world at that time?" When I was young, I heard the name of 'Xun's Eight Dragons', and I hated to be born a few years early, so I came to listen to the teachings. However, when I came here today, I felt that the style of writing was outstanding, and I was elegant and moisturized! ”
But after saying this, I didn't see Xu Shu's satisfied look, but there was still a little blame. After seeing that Ma Chao really didn't know the details of Yingchuan Academy, Xu Shu had no choice but to follow Ma Chao's words and continue to circle: "Although the reputation of Xun's Eight Dragons is high, the lord doesn't know that someone drove a broken car to visit, so Xun's Eight Dragons Shuci (Xun Jing) opened the door and opened the curtain, Ciming (Xun Shuang) drank wine, and the other six dragons took turns to cook dishes......."
"But what about Chen Taiqiu's visit to the Xun family back then?" Ma Chao was reminded by Xu Shuyi, and immediately thought that Yingchuan is not only the Xun family who is famous all over the world, but also the Chen family, which is comparable to the Xun family!
And what Xu Shu said was that Chen Yu, who was the head of Taiqiu at the time, drove to visit Xun's house. Chen Yu's official position in his life is not high, but his influence, in this era, can be said to be absolutely idol-level. By the time of his death, there were more than 30,000 mourners, thousands of cars, and thousands of people wearing linen and filial piety. Cai Zhonglang Cai Yong wrote the inscription, and the general He Jin sent an envoy to deliver a eulogy. Chen Yu's prestige at the end of the Han Dynasty can be seen. And the allusion of the 'gentleman on the beam' that has been passed down to future generations comes from Chen Yuxiao's story about the gentleman on the beam.
Chen Yu had six sons in his life, only Ji and Chen were the most virtuous, and at that time, Chen Yu and Chen Ji, Chen Chen's father and son were called 'three gentlemen'. His son Chen Ji and Chen Chen's father and son are young, smart and studious, and they consult their ancestors on their father's merits, and praise them and say: "Yuan Fang (Chen Jizi) is difficult to be a brother, and Ji Fang (Chen Chenzi) is difficult to be a brother." That is, the meaning that the two are indistinguishable, and the allusion of difficult brothers comes from this.
Traveling to this era, Ma Chao has also heard of these things. But to be honest, for these people who are famous, Ma Chao is not very cold. However, as smart as him, he also guessed at this time that Xu Shu deliberately said this, it must be because he studied at Yingchuan College and knew which gentleman had the habit of eavesdropping on the door, right?
And this scene can't help but make Ma Chao think of when he was in school, his homeroom teacher also had this problem: Could it be that no matter how ancient or modern, teachers are all good?
Needless to say, the one who eavesdropped behind the door at this time must be one of Chen Ji or Chen Chen, otherwise, Xu Shu would not have dug out his mind to praise the Chen family like this......... Wait a minute! Ma Chao suddenly frowned, he vaguely thought that the Chen family, like the Xun family, was also an outstanding cow!
