Hou Zhongliang and his disciples have been living in the Jiehe Branch of the Yuntai Academy for the past few days, waiting for Su Dongpo and Wu Haogu to come. However, he was not idle, but was inspecting this strange looking academy.

This academy is different from all the other academies Hou Zhongliang has ever seen, there are too many "military facilities" in this academy! Including boxing gym (gym), sword gym, bow gym, horse farm, school field, repair shop, sword forging hall and other facilities. It's a barracks and not a college!

Moreover, according to the provisions of the "Regulations of the Yuntai Academy Palace" posted out, the discipline of this academy is too strict, even exceeding the military discipline of the forbidden army!

In addition, the subjects of the doctoral department of Yuntai Xuegong are also too strange, in addition to Confucianism, there are geography, overseas customs, infantry combat (including infantry combat skills and tactics), cavalry warfare (including cavalry skills and cavalry tactics), art of war (strategy), music rhythm, painting, poetry, and so on.

How does this academy look a bit like a copy of the Privy Council's Department of Military Sciences? Is it really appropriate to put it in the Jiehe Commercial Market?

"For heaven and earth, for the people, for the people, for the holy road, for the world to open a peaceful ......"

Standing in front of the "Renyi Doctor Group Building", Hou Zhongliang looked up at the four big flags fluttering in the wind, and read out the four slogans written on the flags in a low voice.

"Mr. Xiangshan," Hou Zhongliang turned his head and looked at Murong Forget worry beside him, "How do you explain these four sentences?" ”

"The arrangement of these four sentences is just for the sake of smoothness," Murong Forget Worry explained, "What should really be placed in the first sentence is for the Dao of the Holy Transmission!" The Doctor of Benevolence and Righteousness Group was established to spread the Confucian Dao.

For the sake of heaven and earth, the meaning of righteousness for the people is to spread the Confucian road between heaven and earth, and educate countless people, so we must not hesitate to sacrifice our lives to take righteousness and kill to become benevolent! ”

Hou Zhongliang took a breath, "That's ...... Do you not hesitate to do justice for the sake of preaching? ”

"Yes!" Murong Wuwu nodded, "As a doctor of benevolence, you should have this determination, defend the Tao with your body, and sacrifice your life to preach!" ”

Murong forgot his worries and said: "And the opening of peace for the world is the last, when Dr. Renyi does not hesitate to become benevolent and righteous, and spreads the avenue between heaven and earth, and educates countless people, then the goal of peace can be achieved." ”

"......I see," Hou Zhongliang frowned tightly, he knew that the Yuntai Academy Palace was established to spread Confucianism. However, he didn't expect that Wu Haogu's method of spreading Confucianism was to sacrifice one's life for righteousness and kill one's benevolence. No wonder there are so many courses related to military strategy, these so-called doctors, I'm afraid it is really possible to go to the battlefield to spread Confucianism!

"It's just that this Confucianism, can it really be spread with a sword?" Hou Zhongliang thought for a while and asked another question.

Murong Wangwu touched his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Yichuan has come out of the Heavenly Principle Avenue for Confucianism, isn't it to fight for territory with Buddhism and Tianfang Sect?" If you want to fight for territory, you naturally have a doctor with a sword. Otherwise, before you preach, you will be hacked to death by the fighters of other sects. ”

What are these words? Hou Zhongliang was stunned and stunned, how could the Spread Avenue still cut people? Is this a Confucian or a robber?

Hou Zhongliang shook his head and said: "The family teacher created the Heavenly Principle Dao to be reasonable, but he never thought of using a sword to fight with others. Besides, if you can use a sword, what is the use of saying that heaven is reasonable? ”

"The old man can't answer this question." Murong Wangwu just shook his head, "But the old man knows that there are many places in the world that are not so reasonable, if you don't have a sword in your hand, people don't bother to talk to you well!" ”

"That's not right, is it?" Hou Zhongliang said, "As far as I know, the Buddha didn't rely on the strong spread of Taoism back then, and didn't he also spread Buddhism to the Central Plains and even the Khitan?" ”

"This time, that time!" Murong forgot his worries and said, "The disciples and grandchildren of the Buddha have already let the Brahmin Outer Dao and the Heavenly Sect kill not much left in Tianzhu. The situation in the Western Regions is not good, the Western Regions countries that believe in Buddhism have almost all been defeated, and only one Gaochang Uighur is left, because it is a vassal of the Khitan, so no one dares to move, and it has survived to this day! In the past, we lacked Confucianism, so it was difficult to spread it, so we didn't know the difficulties and dangers of preaching. And now that the Great Dao has been rounded, it should be spread in all directions, so you will soon know the role of the sword in preaching and edification. ”

Hou Zhongliang was silent, he felt that he really had no common language with the Murong Forget Worry in front of him.

Is it to hear the word for the sake of preaching? Besides, the way of heavenly principles is only heard now, and it is still too early for moral sanctification! Those who hear the Tao have not even cultivated themselves at home, so how can they be qualified to spread the Tao?

……

"Yuan Hui, Zixu, the official family will also invite Confucian scholars from Goryeo and Japan to come to the Central Plains to observe and discuss!"

One day after Su Dongpo left, Huang Tingjian, who presided over the plan in the Yuntai Academy instead of him, handed over the edict he had just received to Mi Youren and Hua Manshan, who rushed to hear the news.

"The Confucian scholars of Goryeo are ready-made," Mi Youren said, "as long as you send someone to send this news to Jiehe Shang City to tell the teacher, the teacher will naturally take Wu Yanzhong to Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Wu Yanzhong hasn't reached Jiehe yet, and Mi Youren will know that he will definitely go, and even if he doesn't go, there will definitely be other Koreans who will go, because the Koreans have already paid the deposit, so they have to send someone to get the goods.

"It's just that Japan is a little troublesome...... Hua Manshan shook his head and took over the topic, "We have been in contact with the Provisional Judge of Xiangguo Temple in Kyoto, Japan, but the communication channel is not smooth. ”

The Linzheng Master is Wu Haogu's friend Fu Monk in the Kaifeng Mansion in the early years, and he is now the presiding officer of Xiangguo Temple in Kyoto, and he can be regarded as a figure who has reached the sky. However, the national situation of small Japan is a bit strange, there is an "emperor" who is arrogant on several small islands behind closed doors, and is unwilling to establish normal diplomatic relations with external countries.

Huang Tingjian frowned and said, "This time, the official family can give us the right to transfer the book of the Yuntai Academy!" If we can get in touch with Japan, we will have the right to interact with Japan in the future. ”

"Transferring books diplomacy" was a special form of diplomacy between East Asian countries during the Northern Song Dynasty, and Wu Haogu also wanted to fight for this power for the Yuntai Academy. But because of the opposition of the rulers, it has not been successful. This time, Song Huizong used the Confucian Confucian Treatise on Taoism to delegate the power of "book transfer diplomacy" to connect Goryeo and Japan to Yuntai Academy.

"Then I'll take a trip to Japan myself!" Hua Manshan has now resigned as the mayor of Tianya Town, and has time to go to Japan.

"I'll ask my disciple Fan Zhiwen to go with you." Mi Youren said, "Zixu, if you can make progress this time, even if you can't catch up with Kaifeng's discussion, it doesn't matter...... As long as you can bring back a few Confucian scholars or envoys from Japan, you can save an official body. ”

"Good!" Hua Manshan, who lost his position as mayor because he had no official status, gritted his teeth, "There is always a way!" Even if you deceive, you have to deceive a few Japanese officials to come to my Great Song Dynasty to be Song envoys! ”

"Okay!" Mi Youren laughed, "It doesn't matter if it's a fraud or a hired person, as long as it's a serious Japanese official, it doesn't matter if you don't have a national credential, as long as you have the documents of that Raushzi Dazaifu, you can explain it." ”

……

"Let Su Dongpo enter Beijing, I also want to meet this long-famous talent, besides, the proposal of the empirical method of Taoism is a grand event of Confucianism, he is the head of the Yuntai Academy, and it is also appropriate to enter Beijing.

As for Su Zhe, let him continue to live in Yingchuan. ”

In the Chongzheng Palace, the official Zhao Ji finally made a decision on whether the second Su would enter Beijing to participate in the discussion.

For this trivial matter, there was a quarrel in the Chongzheng Hall today. The rulers of the New Party unanimously opposed the entry of the Second Soviet Union into the DPRK, and their reason was that the Second Soviet Union, like Zhang Dan, was the head of the faction and the villain of the party! If they are allowed to enter Beijing, the bad atmosphere of forming parties and engaging in private interests will spread in Kaifeng Prefecture, which is not conducive to maintaining the excellent situation of a non-party gentleman and a prosperous dynasty -- the new party and the old party do not exist now!

And Han Zhongyan, the real "lonely minister", tried his best to let Ersu enter Beijing, his reason was that Ersu was the commander of Wu Haogu, and he was a great Confucian who touched Ercheng shoulder to shoulder. Now that Wu Haogu and Cheng Yi are talking about the Tao, they are actually talking about the Tao between Su Men and Cheng Men, how can they not let the second Su enter Beijing? At least you have to let Su Dongpo come, right?

Watching a group of new parties who claimed to be non-party gentlemen unite to bully Han Zhongyan, an honest man, Zhao Ji was a little embarrassed. However, he didn't let the Ersu brothers come to Kaifeng Mansion, although the new party is domineering, but it is up to them to set up "such as a mother and sister-in-law" as the queen mother. If the two Su are allowed to enter the political hall, this matter will be yellow.

Therefore, Zhao Ji finally only allowed the weak Su Dongpo to enter the court, and blocked the tough Su Zhe outside.

After reconciling the old and new party struggles again, Zhao Ji brought up the matter of the Lantian Mansion Soldier Pilot Event.

"Jingzhao Mansion reported that a total of 1,000 government soldiers selected from Lantian County had arrived in Fucheng a few days ago. An Qing, who should train and govern these thousand government soldiers? ”

An Tao returned from class: "According to the old system of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the government soldiers should be under the jurisdiction of the military government. In the Sui Dynasty, it was called Hussar Mansion, Cheqi Mansion and Yingyang Mansion, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Zhechong Mansion. The military government has a general or commander under its command. Above the military government, the Wei Mansion was established, and the Wei Mansion was ruled by the emperor. The minister suggested following the old system of the Sui and Tang dynasties and re-establishing the military government and the guard government to govern the government and soldiers. However, now there are only 1,000 government soldiers, and it is enough to set up a military government first, and there is no need to open a guard house, which can be managed by the front division of the palace, and after the number of military offices increases, it is not too late to set up a guard house. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, and turned his gaze to Prime Minister Han Zhongyan, Han Zhongyan said: "At the beginning of the establishment of the military government, employing people is the key to success or failure, so the minister suggested that the generals of the military government should be strictly selected." ”

"How to choose carefully?" Zhao Ji asked with interest.

"The selection of the commander is re-planned, and the selection of the general should naturally be re-courage." Han Zhongyan said, "Your Majesty may be able to select a few warriors from the warriors in the competition in front of the palace in October this year to serve as military captains and be specifically responsible for military training." ”
