The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 135: The path to the mountain of books is hard work

When many officials heard Zhang Poyue's words, they showed an expression that they knew it would be like this. Zhang Poyue was known as the best tough guy in Jing State. Even Li Wenying, Zuo Xiang or Wen Xiang could not do anything to him.

Some people shook their heads repeatedly. What he said was too shameless.

Zhang Poyue touched the big beard on his chin and smiled to Fang Yun: "I wanted to go to Xifu City. I heard the voice of the half-saint and came to see it. I didn't expect that the little beast of Qing State wanted to escape, so I took advantage of it. You don't have to be afraid. Jianmei Gong will definitely solve it. I will live on the patrol boat these days. Don't disturb me if there is nothing." After saying that, he turned around and left.

The officials laughed in silence. It turned out to be the same Zhang Poyue. He would definitely take action when he should, and never show his head when he should shrink. When he went to the patrol boat, Shijun would definitely not be able to do anything to him.

"By the way, I'll have someone send you an egg today!" Zhang Poyue's voice came from afar.

Everyone looked at Fang Yun together, curious about what kind of egg Zhang Poyue would send.

Prefect Dong whispered to Fang Yun: "If Commander Zhang kills Shi Dehong, Shijun will not bother you, but will only go to him, so you don't have to worry."

Fang Yun nodded, and naturally understood that Zhang Poyue was helping him.

The Qing people walked out dejectedly, and the Jing people looked at them with pride.

Yuanjun Feng said loudly: "My Jing country has not had a top scholar in a hundred years. Today Fang Yun won the first place, which is a great joy for my Yuhai Prefecture and even Jing country. Fang Yun, why don't you leave your calligraphy to commemorate this great era and encourage future generations to climb the mountain of books?"

Everyone looked at Fang Yun expectantly, because famous sentences and couplets have a good motivating effect on scholars. Now every household of scholars in Jiangzhong has "Humble House Inscription".

"Then I will write a piece of encouragement to study, and encourage all the scholars."

The Wenyuan never lacks the four treasures of the study, and someone immediately carried a table with the four treasures of the study.

Many students were looking forward to it, hoping that Fang Yun could see Fang Yun's handwritten works in person, which were better than those sold in bookstores.

Fang Yun picked up the pen and prepared for a while, then wrote. In the process of writing, the sound of reading and boating on the sea came out from his pen.

Listening to this sound, no one cared about what Fang Yun wrote, or stared at Fang Yun's face, or stared at Fang Yun's pen, and no one could hide the shock in their hearts.

In Shengyuan Continent, calligraphy is the first of the six arts of a gentleman, and the first of the four friends of literati, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. There is no shortcut, and it must be studied and practiced for a long time. Therefore, people with good calligraphy are sometimes more respected than those with high literary status. Once you reach the third realm of calligraphy, any pair of characters is worth a thousand taels, and if it is a fine calligraphy, it is often worth tens of thousands.

As for the works of the fourth realm of calligraphy, it is a treasure that even the dragon clan flocks to, and even the semi-saints rarely reach it.

Everyone speculated that Fang Yun could reach the first realm of calligraphy at such a young age, and it is very likely to reach the third realm or even the fourth realm in the future.

Fang Yun was focused and slowly wrote the couplet to encourage learning.

There is a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way.

The official behind Fang Yun was shocked when he saw half of it and almost stopped him.

Before Confucius established the Holy Academy, the mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning were just ordinary words, but since the two holy places of the mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning were established, almost no literati dared to write the names of the holy places in poems, articles and couplets. If they were not well written, they would be criticized and judged. The most terrible thing was that if they were disrespectful or deviated from the original intention of the establishment of the holy place, they might be counterattacked by the power of the holy place.

The holy place has spirits, which is something everyone knows.

However, those officials endured it. Since Fang Yun was personally named the first show of the ten countries by the semi-saint, it was not taboo to write about the mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning. They just hoped that he would not write too badly, otherwise the mountain of books would send down power to counterattack, which would be embarrassing.

Soon, Fang Yun finished writing two couplets.

There is a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way; the sea of ​​learning is boundless, and hard work is the boat.

Many scholars saw at a glance that the couplet was well-formed and could almost be regarded as a model of seven-character couplets. They nodded repeatedly, and the meaning was also worth chewing.

"Boom..."

The holy temple suddenly burst into a burst of energy, making a strong explosion, and then formed a strong vibration in all directions, like a ring of wind blowing out.

Everyone had to raise their arms to protect their faces and squint at the holy temple inside the gate.

"It's over. Did Fang Yun's couplet violate the taboo of Shushan?" Many officials felt cold.

However, a strange scene happened. Fang Yun's couplet actually floated with the wind and flew to both sides of the main gate of the Academy of Literature.

This couplet, with the paper and the words, was integrated into the rock door frame, and then the rock of the door frame slowly bulged and turned into the fourteen words written by Fang Yun.

At the same time, all the county academies, prefecture academies, state academies and the main door frames of the Ten Kingdoms all appeared these fourteen words.

There is a path to the mountain of books through diligence, and the sea of ​​learning is boundless through hard work.

In front of the Yuhai Mansion Academy of Literature, everyone was shocked.

All the scholars looked at Fang Yun in disbelief, because the absence of couplets in front of the Academy of Literature was a thing of the past many years ago, and it had also triggered discussions among the saints.

The Academy of Literature, the Temple of Saints in the Academy of Literature, the Saints’ Hall, and the Temple of Saints in the Saints’ Hall, these four places only have name plaques but no couplets. Logically, such places should have some couplets.

But the saints did not decide in the end, and simply let the temples and saints in the world choose for themselves, but this wait lasted for hundreds of years.

But now, the temples and saints have chosen Fang Yun’s couplet.

In the future, everyone in the world will see this couplet of persuasion to study as long as they pass by the Academy of Literature in various places. In terms of literary reputation, this is more terrible than ten national poems.

Fang Yun suddenly felt helpless. This couplet was written by Han Yu, the leader of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties. Su Dongpo, the poet saint, praised him as "the decline of eight generations of literature", which refers to Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Wei, Qi, Zhou The writings of the eight dynasties of Sui, Sui and the early Tang Dynasty declined, but Han Yu was able to rise, change the general trend of decline of writings, and revive the glory of ancient writing.

In terms of ancient poetry, Han Yu was far inferior to Li Du, Xiao Li Du and others, but in terms of articles and status in Confucianism, Han Yu was even better. Moreover, he was a big figure who entered the Confucius Temple. The entire Tang Dynasty was full of stars, but only The two entered the Confucius Temple, which was not as easy as it was during the Song and Ming Dynasties.

Fang Yun originally just wanted to pick the most familiar one and echoed the Shushan, so he chose this couplet. He didn't expect that it would be rubbed on the door of the liberal arts college.

An official whispered: "It's good now. From now on, Fortune will have a higher status in the hearts of Jingguo and some literati, but in the hearts of Qingguo, Wu and a few people, I'm afraid they will be extremely jealous or even jealous."

"At that time, there was a consensus that the couplets in front of doors in various places should not only have profound meanings, but also be easy to understand, so that anyone who can read can understand them at a glance. It is easier said than done. Fang Yun is lucky. Not only did he dare to The two holy places of writing, Shanxuehai, are not only easy to understand, but also have very profound meanings. If you don’t choose the other temple, choose which one!”

"Fortunately, it's just a couplet. If Fang published a sutra or policy and spread it to the world, the demon saints and barbarian saints would definitely go crazy."

"But the literati of the ten countries cannot help but 'pay attention'!" Lord Feng Yuan said.

Yang Yuhuan and Zhao Hongzhuang were in the crowd. Yang Yuhuan covered her mouth, extremely surprised, and her eyes were full of joy. She didn't understand this, but the people around her were talking about it, so she understood.

Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Yun, who was being admired by many officials, and the tenderness in his eyes became even stronger.

Zhao Hongzhuang looked at Fang Yun with a dazed expression.

When Fang Yun saw that things were getting worse, he decisively clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, I'm going home first!"

"Walk slowly, we will see you off!"

"Let's go! You get in the car and we'll see you off at the end!"

"That's right! You are the number one scholar in the Ten Kingdoms, and you have just written a couplet for the Academy of Arts, so you can't make any mistakes."

"I have been in Yuhai City for so many years, and I have finally met such a big figure who shocked the ten countries. How can I just watch you leave? I have to send you to my door!"

A group of military generals rushed over excitedly and surrounded Fang Yun. The civil servants thought about it for a while, and half of them didn't move, while the other half came over.

Fang Yun was stunned. He was stunned for a while and then said: "Everyone, I will go by myself."

Fang Shouye on the side smiled and said, "Let's send...huh?" After saying that, he looked up at the temple.

Fang Yun also looked over curiously, and saw a large black geese suddenly flying over the temple. There were thousands of them, it was overwhelming, and there were more and more of them. Some flew towards Feng Yuanjun, and some flew towards Dong. In the prefecture, only a handful of secret messages that no one could see entered the official seals of certain officials.

No one has ever seen such an exaggerated scene.

Watching thousands of geese circling in the sky, some people stared blankly, and some couldn't help laughing. This scene was so interesting, and then they looked at Magistrate Dong and Feng Yuanjun curiously, wondering what was going on. .

The two people opened one word after another.

The two of them became happier as they watched, especially Magistrate Dong, who kept smiling from ear to ear.

Feng Yuanjun noticed that others were waiting eagerly and said with a smile: "A few people congratulated the scholar of my Yuhai Mansion for winning the first place. The rest were all asking about the couplet. It turns out that not only the literary academy of my Yuhai Mansion has changed, This couplet was placed at the door of all the liberal arts academies in the ten countries of the world. Because the Holy Academy had recorded that this couplet was written by Fang Yun, they all wanted to verify it, so officials or princes from all over the country sent Hongyan letters to inquire. "

Many people look at Fang Yun with envy. I am afraid that only Fang Yun in the world can cause such a thing.

Fang Yun said hurriedly: "Let me go."

Fang Shouye smiled and said: "Let's go, let's see you off together. You are now a big shot that everyone in the ten countries is paying attention to. We can't worry about letting you go home alone. Let's go."

Fang Yun walked forward helplessly. Twenty or thirty officials of at least seventh grade surrounded him and walked forward together.

The people in front gave way one after another. Many people watched Fang Yun leave with smiles, and at the same time there was envy in their eyes. With so many officials escorting him, Fang Yun could walk sideways in Yuhai City in the future.

Yang Yuhuan, Zhao Hongzhuang and Pang Juren who protected Fang Yun were in the crowd. Yang Yuhuan and Zhao Hongzhuang came over in a hurry. Fang Yun stepped forward and held Yang Yuhuan's hand without shying away from others. Yang Yuhuan struggled a few times and finally lowered his voice. He nodded and followed Fang Yun happily.
