Royal Road

"The ancestor is childish at the mourning of his mother?" Upon hearing this, Liang Feng knew he was going to suffer.

In this era, "filial piety" is a banner that no one can shake. As long as it is displayed, other things must be avoided. Since Zuti has given the reason for bereavement, it is difficult to conquer it.

Zhang Bin nodded: "I heard that he had rejected the King of the East Sea before, and wanted him to be an official. I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult."

In fact, Zhang Bin didn't quite understand why the lord would enlist such a person as a long history. Zuti was born in Fanyang Zu clan, and was also a subordinate of Sima Ji, the king of Qi, Sima Yi, king of Changsha, and Sima Chi, king of Yuzhang. But after Emperor Hui moved to Chang'an and the east and west were established side by side, he left his post and took office. As far as the resume is concerned, it is not so amazing, and there has never been a literary title or military exploits. Moreover, the Zu clan, as a big family of Youzhou, would make his position even more difficult to talk about in case the Youzhou were to go to war.

Compared with this person, Xi Jian, who still lives in seclusion, is more famous. He has been ordered to invite Xi Jian to take up the position of Ren Zhizhong, which would be very helpful to the Lord's people.

"You and the war is coming, and the ancestors have some doubts about it, and it is inevitable. When the guarding house is over, it will not be too late." After thinking for a moment, Liang Feng finally failed to give up.

He actually knew Zhang Bin's doubts, but as one of the few Jin dynasty celebrities who could remember his name, a general like Zu Ti really couldn't let it go. Another participant, Liu Kun, who was "dancing after hearing the chickens", had already been in the wind under the tent of Sima Yue. The official worshipped the governor of Yuzhou and added General Zhenwei to become the chief official of the frontiers. He doesn't believe in people like Zuti, and he doesn't have the slightest desire to win!

Seeing that the lord was still reluctant, Zhang Bin couldn't help but smiled: "The ancestor hadn't arrived yet, but one of his ancestors was admitted to the Chongwenguan. If he could move his brother, the matter would be simple."

Liang Feng suddenly became interested: "The ancestor's family also came to others? What is this son's name?"

"The famous Taiwanese character Chen is the younger brother of the ancestors..."

Zutaizhi? Liang Feng's brows wrinkled slightly. Why does this name sound so familiar... By the way, isn't the great mathematician who calculated the pi called Zu Chongzhi? If I remember correctly, Zu Chongzhi seems to be from the Northern and Southern Dynasties?

Liang Feng has been here for some time, and he has long been familiar with the customs of the world. At that time, Wang Mang usurped power and regained the legacy of the ancients, saying, "The two names are indecent." In other words, the name can only be single, not double, just like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, etc. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, aristocratic families have always regarded their single names as expensive.

However, as Huang Lao flourished and Taoism developed, Tianshi Taoism also became popular among the aristocratic families. Those who believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master will add the words "Zhi, Tao, Spirit, Xuan" to their names, and they are called "Dao Ming". Just like the father and son of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi in later generations, the word "Zhi" that also appears in their names can be passed down from generation to generation without evasiveness.

Now there is an Zutaizhi, not far from the time when Zu Chongzhi lived, all of whom are surnamed "zu", using the Taoist name "zhi", it does not matter, it is really impossible! Could it be the grandfather of that big cow? !

Liang Feng suddenly became interested, and asked urgently: "Which hospital did this Zulang enter in Chongwen?"

"It should be the Academy of Knowledge." Zhang Bin didn't expect the lord to be so enthusiastic and replied truthfully.

Qiuzhiyuan! Liang Feng's heart is more happy. The so-called deep family learning, the knowledge that a family is good at, is often passed down in the same vein. If that ancestor Taizhi enters the Academy of Knowledge, I am afraid that it will be true! This is no less a good thing than Zuti's account!

"Coil his work, I want to see."

※

After the Chongwen Pavilion moved into Jinyang, the originally pure college was divided into three academies: "Hongwen", "Seeking Talents" and "Seeking Knowledge". Among them, the Hongwen Academy is also responsible for teaching and educating people, and the Qiuxian Academy is used to place Confucian scholars and provide talents for the governor's office. Qiuzhiyuan is a brand-new academy, where the emphasis is not on classics and history, but on mathematics, Yixue, geography, craftsmanship, natural history and other miscellaneous subjects. Although there are also channels for entry, you can receive salary and even become an official. However, those who choose the Academy of Knowledge are in the minority after all.

Zu Taizhi chose this hospital!

This is different from his original plan. After all, I have boasted about Haikou with my brother and wanted to work in Bingzhou. Among the Chongwen Third Academy, the Qiuxian Academy is the place most valued by scholars. Not to mention the collection of books in the Academy, it is only helpful for the classmates to talk about the classics. At the same time, this place is also a place to select officials in the state. It is much more decent than the department, and it can achieve the effect of spreading a good reputation.

Such a place naturally provokes everyone's rush. However, the admission requirements are also very strict. In addition to academicians' recommendation, they can only be selected from the bank account after three tests and five trials.

Qiuzhiyuan is different. Because they are all miscellaneous studies, this college is a bit more deserted than Hongwen College. As long as the papers are well written in the hospital, they can be admitted. But this "good" standard is very different elsewhere. What I look at is not the literary grace, nor the verses of poetry, but the words "new" and "qiao". Only a new and unique idea can meet the admission criteria. However, it does not matter if there is no paperwork. There are assessment standards for any subject in the college. If you can be recognized by the academician of the subject, you can also become one of them. It is a low-level status, starting from a health worker.

It's not very economical to look at such a place where there is no future, no decent, decent place. But Zutaizhi just couldn't hold back. He has studied math intensively since he was a child, and he loves books such as local chronicles, and even has his own hobby of writing strange stories. When you are at home, studying Confucian classics is indispensable. Those things that can't be put on the table can only be hidden in the belly. But the Emperor Jinyang Tiangao is far away, and there are no elders around him, how can he not let the ancestors' heart be moved when he encounters such a magical academy!

What's more, transfers between the three hospitals are possible. As long as the term expires for one year and passes the evaluation, you can change to another college. If you can’t stay in the Academy of Knowledge, can you just change the place?

With such thoughts in mind, Zu Taizhi voted on the paper, writing about the subject of the circle cutting technique and the application of water stubble. A lot of the content was a fantastic idea after he read the notes of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". After one vote, he was admitted to the hospital as expected.

After entering the Academy of Knowledge, you can study in the library on your own, or you can study a certain subject. If you want to study something that is recognized by the governor's house, you can also get a lot of salary. Mathematics and geography are now the two major subjects in the academy, and the momentum of Yi learning is quite strong. Craftsmanship and natural history are much less popular.

Zutaizhi didn't choose the courtyard right away, he gnawed more than ten books in the library, day and night. The local chronicles here are several times more than that of Zu's collection, so he can't bear to see it, so he just wants to go out and travel! But what he is interested in is more about the local properties and strange news than the real geography. So I did not devote myself to the idea of ​​popular subjects.

However, when looking up books in Cangshuge, Zu Taizhi met a fellow man.

Early in the morning, after having used Chaoshi in the restaurant, Zu Taizhi took the notes copied yesterday and walked to the library.

This book collection pavilion, which was also just built, is several times more spacious than the lobby of the Cishi Mansion. Inside, one frame and one frame are all paper books. They are placed together in different categories, which makes people feel moving. Above the book pavilion, there is also a wooden plaque hanging on it with the four characters in silver hook and iron painting: "Knowledge and doubt".

This is the plaque of Liang Cishi's own book, the four characters are quite aberrant. But in the Academy of Seeking Knowledge, who is not a person who is apostate for miscellaneous learning? Seeing these four characters, on the contrary, there was a sense of pride in people's hearts. Zu Taizhi couldn't help but puffed up his chest and stepped into the book pavilion.

There are many rules in Shuge, one of which is that no conversation is allowed. Zutaizhi first walked to the bookshelf and picked up the books that he was optimistic about yesterday. He didn't dare to be distracted by looking at other books, so he hurried to the backyard. Later, the borrowing room can also be used for copying and reading books, and pen and ink are provided, and conversations are also not allowed. But there are two or three small yards in the backyard, and there is no such ban. It is specially used by academicians who have established projects to facilitate their access to materials.

Zutaizhi's destination is one of them. With light steps, he came to the door and walked in without knocking. At the moment before the book case, a man was struggling to write, and he didn't hear the sound of his entering the door at all. Unwilling to disturb the other party, he chose a place where there was no pile of books and sat down, carefully picked up the manuscript written on the case, and looked at it fascinatingly.

One person writes and the other reads. After half an hour has passed, the writer finally put down his brush, rubbed his wrist, and raised his head, only to find a visitor.

"Fu Chen, are you here again? Haven't decided the subject yet? Why don't you study it with me." The man had a clear face, and he looked like a fairy-style daoist that was the favorite of the time. Speaking, it's straightforward.

Putting down the manuscript in his hand, Zu Taizhi sighed: "Brother Jing Chun has a lot of skills, what is the younger brother's reach? The more you look at this note, the more you feel ashamed..."

The person in front of him, named Guo Pu, is a man from Hedong Wenxi, who likes the yin-yang calendar as a five-element divination technique since he was a child. When Liu Yuan occupied Pingyang County before, he had a foreboding that Hedong was in danger. However, he did not choose to flee south with the other scholars, but went north to Shangdang. Later, he entered the academy and became a member of the academy.

However, in the courtyard, what he studied was not easy to learn, but a series of exegesis. The book noted is "Er Ya".

Everyone knows that "Er Ya" is a sutra and the ancestor of exegesis. The contents recorded are all true words of ancient times. To put it more bluntly, it is a dictionary, indicating the official normative terms of ancient times. It can be said that studying "Er Ya" is to explain the six meanings, which is the foundation of "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Le", "Yi", and "Chunqiu", so that people today can better read these ancient books and understand their meanings. .

Such a book, logically speaking, should be placed in the Qiuxianyuan for further study. However, Guo Pu himself prefers the Academy of Knowledge, and he is ingenious in his annotations, just like the annotated version of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", with drawing illustrations. Once the idea was presented, it was approved. Guo Pu also annotated in the academy with peace of mind.

In the past few months, he has studied intensively, but it is the volume of "Release the Insects". It is precisely this detailed picture proofreading that makes Zu Taizhi amazed. Who has ever thought that the term "worm" refers to "pupa". With such an explanation, it is intuitive to think of silkworm maggot larvae born in pupae. There are often notes such as "Jinyan" and "Songyan" in the book, which are concise and clear at a glance.

It's just that such a broad knowledge is really not what the ancestors have. Even in the Academy of Knowledge, there are very few academicians in the First Division of Natural History.

Seeing that Zutaizhi was still unmoved, Guo Pu didn't get annoyed, and smiled slightly: "Exercise is boring in the end. Only a silverfish like me can do it hard. Fu Chen, you are young and free, you should choose a school of merit. "

Guo Pu loves to count, and he is quite accurate when looking at people. These words made the face of the ancestor stage a buzz. Yes, it is his selfishness to enter the Academy of Knowledge. But as a member of the ancestors, making contributions is the ultimate mission.

With a light sigh, the ancestor's way: "Brother Jing Chun's words are not bad, but after entering the Institute of Knowledge, he is disturbed by these thousands of scenes, but loses his qualitativeness."

What he likes can't be seen on the table no matter how you look at it. Is it necessary to collect your mind and choose subjects that can be reused for Liang Cishi?

Guo Pu didn't care: "Should I help you make a divination?"

"This..." Zu Taizhi waved his hand in embarrassment, "Brother Yu chooses it himself."

He had seen Guo Pu's divination, and it was terrifying. It's just the thought of destiny that made him quite stunned. Wouldn't it be troublesome if he accounted for something undesirable?

"I see the virtuous brother's appearance, and there will be circumstances soon. As long as you feel at ease, you will have your own income." Guo Pu babbled his goatee and persuaded him.

This made Zu Taizhi surprised and delighted, and a little suspicious, isn't it the other party comforting him? After all, Brother had already rejected the post of General Manager Shi, and he said he would not annoy Liang Cishi. Hey, let's write a few more letters quickly to inform Brother Brother of this Binzhou vision.

Someone came to invite him to visit the house before he finished writing his letter. The person who invited is precisely the uncrowned king of Bingzhou today.
