Dao Fruit

"Two senior brothers, sir, please come over..."

On the other side, after wandering around the city for half a day, I saw that the people, soldiers, and scholars in the city were all cheering for Qiu Yan's arrival, and many people showed their knowledge and practice of Qiu Yan. The look of yearning is all accompanied by worry. |[2][3][w][x]

Then they returned to Lizong Academy, but as soon as they entered, they were called, saying that Mr. Xiao Chen wanted to see them.

"Sir, do you want to see us?"

Hearing this, Zhen Zhizuo and Hua Zhang looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Then, Zhen Zhizuo asked the junior brother who was communicating: "Sir, has he left seclusion?"

This person who is a student is not like a practitioner who has to sit in seclusion for several years, ten years, decades, or hundreds of years at a time. If this is the case, his whole life will have passed.

However, sometimes, if some knowledge has reached a bottleneck or is about to be broken, you need to concentrate and not be affected by the outside world. At this time, you need to go to a place or room where others cannot interfere. Rest peacefully, study, and slowly explore knowledge.

Therefore, it is not a surprising thing for a sage like Mr. Chen to go into seclusion, and after all, this great scholar cannot live in seclusion, and he still has to worry about the food and clothing expenses in the middle, so Zhen Zhizuo, Hua Zhang and others They can see it on weekdays, but every time they see Mr. Xiao Chen, although his face is calm, his words and deeds show eagerness. They know that what their teacher encountered this time is not simple, so I didn't dare to waste time, let alone ask.

As a result, in the past half month or so, the number of times Mr. Xiao Chen had been alone with them and talked to them was also very few. When Lian Qiu Yan entered the city and the trend in the city became popular, Mr. Chen and others. It seemed that they didn't even have time to pay attention to the fact that the idea of ​​entering the city to investigate was also done by Zhen Zhizuo and his disciples.

Like now, Mr. Xiao Chen ordered someone to come and ask the two of them to go over. It has not happened for a long time.

But after a second thought, the two leaders realized it again——

"It seems that Mr. Qiu Yan's arrival cannot be ignored after all. Perhaps it was also for this reason that I was asked to wait."

With such thoughts, the two of them did not bother to return to their rooms, tidied their clothes a little, and went straight to Tianli Pavilion - Mr. Xiao Chen had been studying in this pavilion for the past half month.

When they arrived at the place, they opened the door and took off their shoes. Before they actually stepped inside, Zhen Zhizuo and Hua Zhang glanced at each other. I knew there was more than one person inside, because there were several pairs of boots placed in front of the door.

After looking at each other, the two of them stepped inside. As expected, there were already many people sitting in the room. Sit inside according to the order of entry and seniority.

From back to front, most of the people are older. For example, Chen Jing and Lin Jue are sitting in the back. As for a talented person like Secretary He, his position is further back, not even as high as that of Chen Jing and Lin Jue.

Follow. Zhen Zhizuo, Hua Zhang and the others bowed their hands in greeting, but did not say anything. Then they walked forward slowly and chose a seat to sit down. In front of them, there were seven or eight men, but they seemed to be quite old. , in terms of demeanor and temperament, they are not as good as Zhen Zhizuo and Hua Zhang.

These people are the first two people to get started. Their achievements and knowledge are not as good as those of Zhen Zhizuo and Hua Zhang. But at this time, they will still sit in front. Etiquette is the embodiment of order. In many cases, it is not your fist that is big. If you have a high status and a good reputation, you can do whatever you want, even from a junior to an elder.

Strength should be demonstrated and promoted, but it is impossible to completely distort reality. It is like parents and children. No matter how high their achievements are, it is impossible for their children to exchange places with their parents. Of course, at that time, the parents' attitude towards their children will be different. This is It involves mutual respect.

Secretary He, for example, is usually arrogant and arrogant, but he does not feel that he should always be in front of others because of this. If he cannot receive special treatment, he will be suppressed or oppressed, and he must resist. Then there is no way in the world. There would be no order, and the weak would have no protection at all.

Of course, Chen Jing and Lin Jue have also improved a lot in the past few years. Otherwise, even those who started first would not have been called over by Mr. Chen at the critical moment to sit with these people. Together.

Needless to say, Chen Jing found Qiu Yan and used an alternative method to enter the scholarly world in advance. He also had adventures and gained a lot. After he came back, he would naturally show up in his knowledge and contribute to his work. It is normal to make a leap in learning.

As for Lin Jue, he was an old-fashioned man, but he was down-to-earth and studious. He also had many special insights. He had also condensed his literary heart not long ago, and he had another, more old-fashioned and harsh trend extending from Li Zong's studies. Although he was disliked by his classmates, he could not deny his ability, so he gradually became valued by Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen.

"You are here too, so everyone will be here."

Seeing the two people coming over, Mr. Chen, who was sitting in the deepest part of the room, nodded, then looked around and said, "In this way, everyone is here. There is a reason why I asked you to come here today."

As soon as these words were said, everyone here felt that Qiu Yan's matter was about to be discussed next, and various thoughts arose in their hearts. Especially people who Qiu Yan had come into contact with, such as Hua Zhang and Zhen Zhizuo, felt even more complicated.

Zhen Zhizuo was still just sorry, but Hua Zhang became more and more self-blame, and even the condensed Wen Xin was affected.

In addition to them, Lin Jue and Chen Jing also changed their expressions slightly, obviously they also had some ideas, but they remained calm on the surface. On the contrary, Secretary He frowned, his expression became complicated, and the emotions revealed in his eyes were even more mixed.

At this time, Mr. Chen's eyes moved slightly, and his sight fell on Hua Zhang. He shook his head and said, "Jinchu, don't be obsessed with these external affairs. The inheritance of the academy must be taken seriously, but your own knowledge is more important. Some things are over and cannot be changed. Then look forward and don't belittle yourself. Moreover, I called you here today, not all because of Qiu Yan."

With his knowledge, of course he could see everyone's thoughts at a glance. When he said this, his words were calm and spread throughout the room. It really calmed everyone's thoughts and made everyone's thoughts converge.

But then, these people became confused again.

"Isn't it all because of Qiu Yan?"

Seeing everyone's thoughts again, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "When Qiu Yan arrives in Dongdu, I will go to visit him. Not only me, but also people from other academies and study rooms will go there. You don't need to worry about these things."

These words made everyone feel at ease, but also made them feel a chill in their hearts. They tasted some hidden meanings from Mr. Chen's words--

There is no doubt that Mr. Chen has implicitly pointed out that Qiu Yan and the people present are no longer the same, because there is no master-disciple relationship. Even if Mr. Chen goes there, he has to use the word "visit" and even join hands with the great sages of other academies, which is enough to show the situation.

At that time, as their predecessors, Qiu Yan will of course show enough respect, but this respect will occur under the condition of relatively equal status.

"It seems that Qiu Yan's failure to join any academy has become an advantage now, but he probably didn't have such an idea at that time, right?"

Zhen Zhizuo thought so and was a little undecided. You know, no one can be sure that he will succeed before he becomes famous, but it is precisely when he is uncertain that he can make decisions for future matters, endure temporary disadvantages, and finally break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, which shows that he is determined and has a long-term vision.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things for now. I called you here today because I want you to do something."

At this time, Mr. Chen spoke again, calling back everyone's thoughts and concentrating on listening.

"Over the years, you have studied under me and my brother, and each of you has achieved something. Many people's ideas can inspire us to listen to them. It can be said that they are the essence of humanity. In this case, why not compile them into a book..."

He said here, and his eyes swept over everyone.

"You can compile the essence of your own ideas and turn them into a large volume. When the time comes, you can combine some of my and my brother's books to compile a "Complete Book of Li Zong" to suppress the fortune of the academy and spread it out."

"Let us compile a book?"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Obviously, they had not expected this before. When they heard it for a while, they still couldn't understand it.

But a few people quickly tasted the unusualness in it.

"Let us compile the essence of ideas, and the two gentlemen should also integrate their own accumulation into it to make it a great book. Who are you going to show it to?"

In the doubts of several people, Mr. Xiao Chen did not say much, but just reminded slightly obscurely: "We should look further ahead. After all, some places have not been bathed in enlightenment. At this time, any book sent there is enough to wake them up."

When Zhen Zhizuo and others left with all kinds of doubts, they were all thinking about it. Some of them thought that what Mr. Xiao Chen was referring to should be the northern border grasslands and southern border swamps that had just been incorporated into the territory.

………………

On the other hand, Qiu Yan stayed in the city for two days. Dongdu is not like other places. There are many dignitaries, officials, and noble families living in the city. Even if the imperial envoy who received the emperor's order came to visit, it was difficult to completely control them. He could only delay for a while.

However, on the morning of the third day, the imperial envoy knew that he could not delay any longer. He hurried over early in the morning to urge Qiu Yan to set off, but saw several figures outside the door of the posthouse.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Han, Prime Minister..." (To be continued...)
