"Yuan Hui, why did you worship a businessman as a teacher? Even if his painting skills are comparable to those of a painting saint, you can't worship him as a teacher...... You're a scholar, and now you're a jinshi. ”

"If the painting skills of the master are the same as those of the painting saint, I will not worship him! His painting skills are much stronger than those of the painting saint...... By the way, Zhong Yu, don't you often say that there are great talents outside the imperial examination? Why do I look down on my teacher because he is not a jinshi? ”

"Zhong Yu doesn't look down on people who don't have the fame of Jinshi, and Zhong Yu's teacher, Mr. Yi Chuan, doesn't have Zhongjinshi. But Wu Dongmen is a merchant or a military attaché, how can he be a teacher of scholars? ”

"Bo Chong's words are wrong, although the family teacher is a military attache of a businessman, but he is a figure like Zigong, and he must not be regarded as an ordinary businessman."

"What's the hell? Zigong? He has the style of Duanmu, and he can't compare himself to Zigong! ”

"The family teacher is indeed a Confucian merchant comparable to Zigong, and you will know it when he worships under Mr. Dongpo in the future."

"At the end of all, he wants to worship at his father's door?"

"How is this possible?"

"Yuanhui, you're almost ...... worship"

The ten bachelors of Sumen have not yet begun to discuss whether they can recognize the little junior brother of Wu Haogu, and several of Su Dongpo's sons and nephews are the best pinjin caves in Yangzhou, and Mi Youren first discussed.

And it was also discussed in front of several female fans of Wu Haogu - the pirated version of the "Oiran" album is also quite popular in Yangzhou, and the horned Oiran here also knows Wu Haogu's "magic pen", and they all dream of one day being able to appear in the magical album of the popular Oiran many.

So as soon as I heard that Mi Youren, the eldest disciple of Wu Haogu, came to Yangzhou, the most popular Oiran in Yangzhou, and sent someone to the pavilion to invite him.

Mi Youren pulled the nephews of the Su family who had a good relationship with him - Su Dongpo's second son Su Yu, the third son Su Guo, and Su Zhe's eldest son Su Chi, and came to Taibai House in Yangzhou to drink flower wine. Of course, the money is not spent by Mi Youren, and it is invited by the owner of Taibai Building...... Wu Haogu's eldest disciple Mi Youren is willing to come, which is already a big face! How can you ask people to collect money?

However, the three elders of the Su family should have stayed in Lingnan for too long, and they didn't know how powerful Wu Haogu was, so they were very surprised by Mi Youren's worship of Wu Haogu as a teacher. And what they didn't expect was that Mi Fu actually wanted to recommend Wu Haogu to worship in Sumen!

O Lady Suman! Take out any one of them is a well-known talent, where is there a businessman who does business to be a Sumen bachelor? Do you really think you're Zigong?

"Yuanzhang, Jin Qing, why do you say he wants to worship under the family teacher?"

At this moment, far away in the city of Kaifeng Mansion, in the West Garden of Wang Xu's Prince's Mansion, in the back garden, there are three elderly scribes enjoying flowers and drinking wine and chatting.

The tasting is the "home-brewed" wine fairy of Wu Haogu, and the object of discussion is also Wu Haogu.

The person who was asking the question was an old man in Confucian clothes with a gray beard, a long nose, and a little hanged eyes. He is Huang Tingjian, the head of the four bachelors of Sumen, the "Huang" in "Su Huang Mi Cai". He had just returned to Kaifeng from Rongzhou (in Sichuan).

He was relegated to Rongzhou (first Qianzhou) because he wrote in the "Records of Shenzong" that "use the iron dragon claw to govern the river, and there is the same child's play". After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he also got the edict of "Haizhou Resettlement", but when he passed through Kaifeng Mansion, his punishment had been revoked, and he was also called by Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Water (probably because he knew that it was child's play to use iron dragon claws to govern the river, so he was considered to have the ability to control water), so he stayed in Kaifeng Mansion. However, Huang Tingjian has no interest in being an official in Kaifeng Mansion, but wants to go to the prefecture and county to be a magistrate, so as to stay away from the whirlpool of political struggle.

"Why is that?" In Wang Xu's mansion, Huang Tingjian was very puzzled by Wu Haogu's desire to worship Su Dongpo as a teacher, "He is now the deputy envoy of Dongshang Gate and a confidant of the official family, are you afraid that there will be no assassination history in the future?" ”

Wang Shu also looked at Mi Fu with puzzled eyes. Wu Haogu now wants money and money, women and women, backstage or official family, why do you use Su Dongpo? Do you learn to write lyrics and poems? Not to mention whether you can learn it, it's not very useful.

"He ......," Mi Fu pondered, "he seems to want to set up a academy...... A academy like Songyang Academy. ”

In fact, there are many academies that Wu Haogu wants to run than Songyang Academy! Songyang Academy does not train armed doctors...... Moreover, the Songyang Academy also spread ideas in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and had no intention of transmitting Confucianism to Baghdad and Rome.

"What's the hell?" Huang Tingjian was amused by Mi Fu's words, "He? He wants to run a academy like Songyang Academy? Don't say that he is a businessman, even the champion of the current department doesn't dare to say this. ”

"This ......" Mi Fu smiled bitterly, "I don't know much about this, by the way, Wu Chongdao will return to Kaifeng Mansion in a few days, it is better to invite him to the West Garden, Brother Lu will ask him personally." ”

Huang Tingjian nodded and said with a smile: "The old man has to personally ask this junior who doesn't know the height of the sky!" ”

……

"In addition to Huang Fuweng, which other Confucian has returned to Kaifeng Mansion recently?"

The one who was asking questions was Wu Haogu, who was now preparing to return to Kaifeng Mansion from Jiehe Shang City. It was a little earlier than the scheduled plan, and I wanted to go to Haizhou to worship Su Dongpo as a teacher. However, he did not set off without permission, but asked Zhao Ji for advice. Nominally, it was a tribute horse, and the Jie He City Bo Si originally had the task of buying war horses through the mutual market, and Wu Haogu did gain something in the few months he spent in the Jie He Shang City. In addition to the two Persian stallions, which were not to be tributed, sixteen horses with a height of more than four feet seven inches at the shoulders (plus the two he brought from Kaifeng, a total of eighteen horses, all of whom were now pregnant with babies) and forty-two horses or geldings with a height of more than four feet seven inches at the shoulders. Of course, sixteen of the horses could not be tributed, and had to be kept with their cubs. The rest of the forty-two peony horses or geldings with a shoulder height of more than four feet seven inches were ready to be sent to Kaifeng Mansion to be used as military horses.

Offering forty-two first-class "war horses" at one time is already a credit! You must know that now the Herd Husbandry Division of the Great Song Dynasty has barely raised 20,000 or 30,000 horses, and there are only more than 200 first-class war horses that can be provided every year......

"Hui Dong Weng's words," it was Zhao Jiaren who answered Wu Haogu's question, and the old man Zhao was Wu Haogu's wit, in addition to assisting him in handling government affairs, he also had to pay attention to the movements of Kaifeng Mansion, "During this time, many Shuoru returned to Kaifeng Mansion from all over the country, and the most famous of them were Mr. Yichuan and Fan Yaofu. ”

Mr. Yichuan is Cheng Yi, and the "Cheng" of Zhu Chenglixue refers to him and his brother Cheng Hao. And Fan Yaofu is the second son of Fan Zhongyan, who was also demoted to Yongzhou by Emperor Zhezong, and Zhao Ji was recalled immediately after his accession to the throne.

"Write it down," Wu Hao Gu Dao, "you have to visit." ”

Cheng Yi and Fan Chunren are no worse than Su Dongpo, if they can win their favor and become disciples of Chengmen and Fanmen, it is also okay.

And Wu Haogu also wanted to discuss the spread of Confucianism with them...... If you can get their support, then it will be much easier to form a doctoral group.

"Dong Weng," Zhao Jiaren was stunned when he heard this, "Mr. Yi Chuan and Fan Yaofu may not be easy to meet...... They are all old, they are not in good health, and they are long-established Shuo Ru, I'm afraid ......"

"It doesn't matter." Wu Haogu waved his hand, "When the time comes, just take the second brother and go with you." ”

Wu Haowen is Han Zhongyan's son-in-law, and he is the sixth in the new science and technology jinshi, how can the two old Confucians see each other.

Wu Haogu thought for a while, and then said, "Han Xianggong, Zhang Xianggong, and Cai Bachelor are all going to visit...... Master Zhao, you have written it down, and you have to buy some good ginseng here in Jiehe Commercial Market and send it to you. ”

"Whoa."

……

"Old Taishan, do you want your son-in-law to worship the Chengmen?"

"That's right." Han Zhongyan touched his beard and looked at his good son-in-law Wu Haowen with a smile, "Although you are a jinshi, you are studying 'Wang Xue', and 'Wang Xue' pays attention to morality, which is actually Wang Banshan's explanation of Confucius and Mencius, which is not accurate." So the old man wants to find a gentleman for you, and worship under the holy gate of Master Hou. ”

The teacher Han Zhongyan introduced to Wu Haowen was named Hou Zhongliang, the word master saint, and he was the most important student of Ercheng. Later generations called "Hou Zi", the author of "Analects and Sayings" and "Yayan", founded the Hedong School, and later spread Ercheng science to Jiangnan (in the Southern Song Dynasty), becoming a successor between Ercheng and Zhu Xi.

He originally lectured and preached on Hedong Road, but because his teacher Cheng Yi pardoned Kaifeng Mansion, he came to Kaifeng Mansion to visit. Han Zhongyan had known Hou Zhongliang for a long time and knew his knowledge, so he wanted his son-in-law to apprentice.

"Taishan said that Wang Xue is not good, and Luo Xue is good?" Wu Haowen didn't understand the fallacy of "one morality", so he asked this question.

Han Zhongyan shook his head and said: "It's not that Wang Xue and Luo Xue are better or worse, but that one is morally bad." ”

"Oh." Wu Haowen responded unintentionally. He didn't understand Han Zhongyan's words, but instead thought that one morality was right - if there was no one morality, there would be multiple interpretations of Confucian scriptures, which would be very troublesome to study, and he would be at a loss during the exam.

"You still don't understand." Han Zhongyan looked at his son-in-law and smiled bitterly, "But it doesn't matter, when you enter Chengmen and learn the essence, you will understand the disadvantages of morality." ”

"Son-in-law knows." Although he answered so, Wu Haowen actually had no interest in learning Chengmen's knowledge.

For him, Confucian scriptures are just a stepping stone. Now that the Jinshi has arrived, how much more can you learn Confucianism?

It's right to be a good official if you have that kung fu...... This official's knowledge is still a little worse! In this regard, his elder brother Wu Haogu is everyone, he doesn't even have a jinshi, he has mixed up with the horizontal class from the seventh grade, and he is also a henchman of the official family, it is estimated that he will be promoted again in the near future, that is the ability!
