Royal Road - Chapter 259

[Chapter 258 | City]

“Zu Shizhi is dying at his mother?” Upon hearing this, Liang Feng knew that 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.

Rules such as “taking love” in later generations simply do not exist.

Now that Zu Ti has given a reason for his mourning, it will be difficult if he wants to reclaim it.

Zhang Bin nodded: “I heard that he also rejected the East Sea King before and wanted him to serve, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

In fact, Zhang Bin didn’t quite understand why the lord would recruit such a person as a long history.

Zu Ti was born in the ancestors of Fanyang, and he also served successively as the vassal of King Sima Ji of Qi, King Sima Yi of Changsha, and King Sima Chi of Yuzhang.

But Emperor Hui moved to Chang’an, and after the east and west were established side by side, he stepped down to serve.

Judging from the resume, it is not really surprising, and there has never been a title or military exploits.

Moreover, as the great clan of Youzhou, the Zu clan would be even more difficult to say in case of a war between Youzhou and Youzhou.

Compared with this person, Xi Jian, who is still living in seclusion in his hometown, is more talented and famous.

He has been ordered to invite him, and if Xi Jian can be hired as Renzhizhong, it will be very helpful to the lord’s reputation.

“You and the war is imminent, and it is inevitable for Zu engaged to have some doubts. After the end of the guardhouse, it will not be too late.” After thinking for a while, Liang Feng finally couldn’t give up.

He actually knew Zhang Bin’s doubts, but as one of the few famous Jin Dynasty celebrities who could remember their names, a general like Zu Ti really couldn’t let it go.

Another participant of “Smell the Chicken and Dance”, Liu Kun, has already become a prosperous member of Sima Yue’s tent. He has become the governor of Yuzhou and General Jia Zhenwei.

He didn’t believe in a character like Zu Ti, and he didn’t have the slightest desire to win!

Seeing that the lord was still reluctant to give up, Zhang Bin couldn’t help laughing and said, “Ancestor Shizhi hasn’t arrived yet, but a member of the ancestral family has been admitted to Chongwen Hall. If he can persuade his brother, the matter will be simple.”

Liang Feng came immediately. Interested: “There are other people from the ancestors? What is this son’s name?”

“Mingtaizhi, character Chen, is the younger brother of the ancestors…”

Zutaizhi?

Liang Feng’s brows were slightly wrinkled. Why does this name sound so familiar… By the way, isn’t the name of 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.

Back then, when Wang Mang usurped power, he regained the legacy of the ancient times, saying “two names are indecent.”

That is to say, 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, the family has always been distinguished by a single name.

However, with the prosperity of Huang Lao and the development of Taoism, Tianshi Tao also became popular among noble families.

Those who believe in the Tao of Heavenly Masters will add words such as “zhi, dao, ling, xuan” to their names, which are called “dao names”.

Just like the father and son of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi in later generations, the word “zhi” also appears in the name, not only need not be avoided, but can also be passed down from generation to generation.

Now there is an ancestral Taizhi, not far from the time when Zu Chongzhi lived, both surnamed “Zu” and used the Taoist name “Zhi”, saying that it has nothing to do with it, it is really unlikely!

Could it be that Daniel’s ancestor?

!

Liang Feng suddenly became interested and asked anxiously, “This Zu Lang, which Chongwen Academy did you enter?”

“It should be the Qiuzhi Academy.” Zhang Bin did not expect the lord to be so enthusiastic, and answered truthfully.

Ask the Academy!

Liang Feng was even more happy in his heart.

The so-called family has deep learning, and the knowledge that the family is good at is often passed down from generation to generation.

If that Ancestor Taizhi entered the Qiuzhi Academy, I am afraid that it is really eight|nine and ten!

This is as good as Zu Ti’s entry into the account!

“Bring his work, I want to see it.”

※

After the Chongwen Hall moved into Jinyang, the original academy was divided into “Hongwen”, “Qiu Xian” and “Qiuzhi” three institutes.

Among them, the Hongwen Academy is still responsible for teaching and educating people, and the Qiuxian Academy is used to house Confucian scholars and provide talents for the provincial governor.

The Qiushi Academy is a brand-new academy, which focuses not on classics and history, but on miscellaneous subjects such as mathematics, Yixue, geography, general construction, and natural history.

Although there are also channels to enter the body, you can receive salaries and even become officials.

However, those who choose the Institute of Knowledge are, after all, a minority.

Zu Taizhi chose this hospital!

This was different from his original plan.

After all, I boasted about Haikou with my brother and wanted to work in Bingzhou.

Among the Chongwen three courtyards, the Qiuxianyuan is the place that is most valued by scholars, not to mention the collection of books in the courtyard, just talking about the scriptures with the scholars, it is of great benefit.

At the same time, this is also the place where Bingzhou elects officials, which is much more respectable than the system, and can achieve the effect of spreading fame and reputation.

Such a place naturally attracts crowds.

However, the admission requirements are also very strict. In addition to the academician’s recommendation, they can only be selected by self-investment and after three tests and five trials.

The Institute of Knowledge is different.

Because it’s all miscellaneous studies, this hospital is a bit more deserted than Hongwen Institute. As long as the admission is good, it can be admitted.

However, this “good” standard is very different from other places.

What I look at is not literary talent, not poetry and sutras, but the words “new” and “smart”.

Only new and unique ideas can meet the admission criteria.

However, there is no problem if there is no syllabus. Any subject in the hospital has assessment standards. If it can be recognized by the academician of the subject, it can also become a member.

That is, the status is low, and it is necessary to start from the students.

Such a place with no future and no respect, no matter how you look at it, it is not very cost-effective.

But Zu Taizhi couldn’t hold back.

He has studied mathematics since he was a child, and is fond of books such as local chronicles, and even has his own hobby of writing bizarre stories.

At home, studying the scriptures is essential. These things that cannot be placed on the table can only be hidden in the stomach.

However, Jinyang Tiangao Emperor is far away, and there are no elders around. When encountering such a magical academy, how can you not let Zutai’s heart be moved!

What’s more, it is possible to transfer between the three hospitals.

As long as one year expires and you pass the evaluation, you can change to another college.

If you can’t stay in the Qiuzhiyuan, why not change the place?

With such a thought in mind, Zu Taizhi put in a scroll, and wrote about the subject of circular cutting and the application of water.

Many of the contents were his fantastic ideas after reading the annotations of “Nine Chapters of Arithmetic”.

As soon as the line was submitted, he was admitted to the hospital as expected.

After entering the Institute of Knowledge, you can study in the library by yourself, or you can study a certain subject.

If the things that you want to focus on are approved by the governor’s office, you can also get a lot of money.

Now the two subjects of mathematics and geography in the academy have the largest proportions, and the momentum of easy learning is also quite strong.

Zu Taizhi did not choose a house immediately, but first ate books for more than ten days in the library day and night.

The local chronicles here are several times more than that of Zu’s collection of books, so he can’t bear to see it, and he just wants to go out and travel!

But he was more interested in local products and strange stories than real geography.

So I did not devote myself to the idea of popular subjects.

However, when looking at the books in the library, Zu Taizhi met a fellow man.

Early in the morning, after eating the morning meal in the restaurant, Zu Taizhi walked to the library with the notes he copied yesterday.

This bookstore, which was also just built, is several times larger than the hall of the Governor’s Mansion. There are paper books in the shelves, and they are placed together in different categories, which makes people feel moved.

Above the bookstore, there is also a wooden plaque with four characters painted on silver hook and iron: “Seek knowledge and doubt.”

This is a plaque written by Liang Inspector himself, and the four characters are quite deviant.

But in the Institute of Knowledge, who is not a deviant for miscellaneous studies?

When I saw these four words, I felt a sense of pride in my heart.

Zu Taizhi involuntarily raised his chest and stepped into the bookstore.

Conversation is not allowed in the bookstore. He walked to the bookshelf first, took the book he was looking forward to yesterday, did not dare to stay, and hurriedly walked to the backyard.

The borrowing room after that can also be used for copying and flipping books, as well as pen and ink, and conversations are also not allowed.

But there are two or three small yards in the backyard, so 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.

Taking light steps, he came to the door and walked in without knocking.

At this moment, in front of the desk, a man was writing hard, and he didn’t hear the sound of him entering the door at all.

Not wanting to disturb the other party, he chose a place where no books were stacked and sat down, carefully picked up the manuscript written on the case, and read it with fascination.

One person wrote and the other read. After more than half an hour, the book writer finally put down his brush, rubbed his wrist, and when he looked up, he realized that there was a guest.

“Fu Chen, you’re here again? Haven’t you decided on a subject yet? Why don’t you expound with me.” The man had a clear face, quite a bit of the most favorite immortal style of the time. Speaking of which, it is straightforward.

Putting down the manuscript in his hand, Zu Taizhi let out a long sigh: “Brother Jingchun has great skills, how can a younger brother be able to do it? The more I read this note, the more I feel ashamed…”

The person in front of him, named Guo Pu, was a Hedong was delighted to hear that, since he was a child, he liked the technique of divination with the yin-yang calendar and the five elements.

When Liu Yuan occupied Pingyang County before, he had a premonition that Hedong was in danger.

However, instead of fleeing south with other scholars, he went north to Shangdang.

Later, he entered the academy and became a member of the academy.

However, in the academy, what he studied was not easy learning, but exegesis.

The noted book is “Erya”.

Logically speaking, Erya is a sutra and the ancestor of exegesis.

The recorded content is the ancient truth.

To put it more bluntly, it is a dictionary, indicating the official canonical terms of ancient times.

It can be said that studying “Erya” is to explain the six meanings, that is, “Poetry”, “Book”, “Ritual”, “Music”, “Yi”, “Spring and Autumn”, so that people today can better read these ancient books and understand their meanings. .

Such a book, logically speaking, should be put into the Academy of Qualifications for study.

However, Guo Pu himself prefers to seek knowledge, and he is ingenious in his annotations. Like the annotated version of “Nine Chapters of Arithmetic”, he adds diagrams.

Once the idea was presented, it was approved.

Guo Pu also wrote books in the academy with peace of mind.

In the past few months, what he has studied intensively is the volume of “The Explanation of Insects”.

It is also this detailed picture and annotation that makes Zutai astonished.

Who would have thought that the word “worm” refers to “pupa”.

With such an explanation, it is very intuitive to think of the silkworm maggot larvae born in the pupa.

In the book, there are often annotations such as “Jin Yan” and “Popular Words”, which are concise and clear at a glance.

It’s just that such a broad knowledge is really not possessed by Zutaizhi.

Even in the Institute of Knowledge, there are very few academicians in the first department of natural history.

Seeing that Zu Taizhi was still unmoved, Guo Pu was not annoyed, and smiled slightly: “Explanation is always boring, and a silverfish like me can only do it with all my strength. Fu Chen, you are young and free, you should choose a school of merit. ”

Guo Pu is very fond of accounting, and he is quite accurate in seeing people.

These words made Zutaizhi’s face turn red.

Yes, it was his selfishness to enter Qiuzhiyuan.

But as a member of the Zu clan, it is the ultimate mission to make achievements and build a career.

With a light sigh, the way of Zutai: “Brother Jingchun’s words are not bad. It’s just that after entering the Qiuzhiyuan, he was disturbed by the thousands of scenes, but he lost his character.”

Whatever he likes, no matter how you look at it, it will not be on the table. , can it be used by Liang Inspector?

Guo Pu didn’t care: “Do you want me to help you divination?”

“This…” Zu Taizhi waved his hand embarrassedly

. Scary.

It’s just the idea of destiny that makes him quite disappointed. If he takes up something he doesn’t like, isn’t he asking for trouble?

“I look at the appearance of the virtuous brother, and there will be a situation in the future. As long as you have peace of mind, you will have your own income.” Guo Pu gently stroked his goatee and persuaded.

This remark made Zu Taizhi both surprised and happy, and a little suspicious. Could it be that the other party was comforting him?

After all, Brother A has already rejected the post of Chief Shi of the General’s Mansion, so he may or may not annoy the Governor Liang.

Alas, let’s hurry up and write a few more letters to inform my brother about the vision of Bingzhou.

Unexpectedly, before the family letter was finished, someone invited him to the residence for a chat.

The person invited is precisely the uncrowned king of Bingzhou today.
