Genius Daddy in the City

Chapter 1123 Zhongzhou, Jixia Academy!

He seemed to be aware of his embarrassment.

Mu Caiwei chuckled, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, but she still said calmly: "The strongest one must be Taishi Ning!"

"Master?"

Ye Chen was slightly startled: "Civil official?"

He was previously in the Northern Territory, and within a large dynasty, civil and military officials were well distinguished. Although the literati also practiced martial arts, their strength was not high.

However, Mu Caiwei said that the strongest person in the Dali Dynasty was a civil servant.

"You don't know something."

Mu Caiwei shook her head and said: "This Grand Master Ning has a very high status in Dali, even surpassing the Emperor of Dali, and is known as a literary sage."

"It is said that Taishi Ning is not from Tianfenghai, but from Zhongzhou." He raised his bare hands and smoothed the black hair on his forehead.

"Zhongzhou?" Ye Chen was surprised.

Zhongzhou, one of the five major regions in the ancient world, is also a place Ye Chen has never been to!

The first time he heard about it was from the mouth of Yun Yi, the Queen Mother of the Northern Dynasty.

"Yes, Zhongzhou!"

Mu Caiwei said: "Our ancient wilderness is divided into five major regions, namely the Eastern Wilderness, the Northern Territory, the Southern Territory, the Western Territory, and the Zhongzhou. Strictly speaking, our Tianfeng Sea Territory is mixed in between these five major regions."

"Zhongzhou is known as the first of the five major regions. It gathers the destiny of the entire ancient world. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a holy land..."

At this point, she paused and said: "In Zhongzhou, there are martial sages who can reach the mountains with their strength, there are wine and sword immortals who can touch the dust with their swords, and there are also literate sages who speak the truth and use their mortal bodies to communicate with the power of heaven and earth..."

"In other words, this Master Ning from the Dali Dynasty is a literary saint from Zhongzhou?" Ye Chen gradually realized.

"Yes, it is said that when the current Emperor Dali was still the crown prince, he traveled to Zhongzhou and met Grand Master Ning who was studying in Jixia Academy."

Mu Caiwei nodded and said: "Later, Taishi Ning chose to follow Emperor Dali and came to our Tianfeng Sea area. This has been the case for thousands of years."

"Jixia Academy?"

Ye Chen's heart was slightly shaken.

I believe these four words are very familiar to any earthling with a little bit of culture!

Jixia Academy is the earliest government-run institution of higher learning on earth, as well as the earliest academy of social sciences and government think tank. It was founded in Tianwu, Duke Huan of Qi during the Warring States Period, and is located near Zijimen, the capital of Qi State.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this school as the best school. In today’s world, Harvard is nothing compared to Yale.

Because this school produced many outstanding people during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, and even during the Qin Dynasty, including current military strategists, politicians, thinkers, and even the founding ministers of the country.

Founding figures of the Confucian school such as Mencius and Xunzi all came from Jixia Academy. In addition, there are Chunyu Kun, Zou Zi (Zou Yan), Tian Pian, Shenzi, etc...

Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, was a disciple of Xunzi. It was only later that after the First Emperor came to power, he disliked Confucianism and respected Legalism, so Li Si became a disciple of Legalism.

All in all, Jixia Academy is the birthplace of hundreds of schools of thought, including Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, famous schools, military strategists, farmers, Yin-Yang schools, etc.

Ye Chen's eyes flickered: "It seems that when the nine saints rebelled against the earth and came to this ancient world, they established Jixia Academy..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the grudges between Ying and the Jiu family, and now Ying was so powerful in the southern region.

Sooner or later, the two sides will collide.

He looked at Mu Caiwei and asked tentatively: "What is the status of Jixia Academy in Zhongzhou?"

"Supreme!"

Mu Caiwei whispered four words: "Jixia Academy has influenced the entire ancient world and is known as the only holy place. Especially the leader of the academy, Lord Jijiu, is said to be almost an immortal and has disciples all over the world..."

Ye Chen nodded secretly.

"Thousands of years ago, the sea clan in our Tianfeng sea area was in trouble and the human race was weak. Later, it was said that Emperor Dali appointed Grand Master Ning after he ascended the throne..."

Mu Caiwei's red lips slightly opened: "Master Ning taught all people with poems and books, regardless of high or low, and made tremendous contributions to the growth of all races. Therefore, he is regarded as a literary saint by everyone, even the masters of the other three major forces. Three points of respect…”

Ye Chen smiled: "If the Grand Master Ning you mentioned really has such a status, can the current Emperor Dali tolerate him?"

As an emperor of a generation, he has a mind that encompasses the whole world and tolerates all things.

But he is often the most stingy, because he cannot tolerate anyone who can threaten his position or even challenge the imperial power.

And from the fact that the Dali Dynasty implemented the vassal reduction system and suppressed the feudal forces in Muwangbao, it can be seen that the Dali Emperor was also a ruthless person.

Then the question arises, how can Master Ning endure this when he has such a high reputation?

"actually not……"

Mu Caiwei shook her head and said: "The Emperor trusts Grand Master Ning extremely much, and the monarch and his ministers are very harmonious. Even if someone in the court slanders Grand Master Ning, the Emperor will directly remove that person's fame and official position..."

"It's quite interesting."

Ye Chen smiled faintly.

In his opinion, Emperor Dali and Grand Master Ning were a bit like King Zhou of Shang and Grand Master Wen during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

But I don’t know whether this Emperor Dali is King Zhou of Shang.

Mu Caiwei said again: "Grand Master Ning has achieved fame and has already become a saint through literature. It is said that his true words can kill any evil spirit. His calligraphy has suppressed many sea tribes..."

"With such a person, no wonder he can become the number one person in the Dali Dynasty!" Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Next, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat silent.

Mu Caiwei turned around, looked at Mengmeng who was playing with Jiu'er with her beautiful dark eyes, and smiled sincerely: "This child is quite smart..."

After these few days of contact, she really fell in love with this girl Mengmeng, even though the latter was hostile to her before.

Ye Chen also looked at his daughter, with a look of doting in his eyes: "Not only is she smart, she is simply too smart."

"Where's her mother?"

Mu Caiwei suddenly asked.

The smile on Ye Chen's face froze, as if he didn't want to mention it.

The former's eyes dimmed immediately and he whispered: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked..."

"It's actually nothing."

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Her mother is missing. To be honest, I took her out to look for my wife this time."

"disappeared?"

Mu Caiwei was startled at first, and then said extremely guiltily: "I'm sorry, if you need anything, just ask, and I, the Muwangbao, will do our best."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, without saying a word, and raised his eyes to look at the endless sea below.

He had a hunch that this time he went to the Dali Dynasty, there would be some unexpected gains.

Time passed bit by bit, and that afternoon, the flying boat arrived in the human city.

From a distance, everyone saw many towering giant cities towering below, with majestic formation light curtains arranged around them.

"Here we are."

Mu Caiwei walked over and said softly: "This is the outer city of Ziyuan City. A hundred miles ahead is the capital..."
