Chang'an Baoshenghou Mansion!

"Good articles, good articles!" Kong Delun was so excited that he didn't know how to describe it. He said for a long time: "Such articles have a profound idea. They are truly a rare masterpiece in Confucianism. After Mencius' "Encouragement of Learning", they have also led people to improve their reputation."

Kong Huiyuan sighed: "This is true. There have been countless articles about loyalty and filial piety. However, there are not many articles that guide people to improve themselves and encourage people all over the world to learn. This article is deeply rooted in the spirit of our ancestors... It is just that it is too deeply involved, and it is thanks to Pei Min's writings. If it were others, they would probably not be tolerated by Shilin."

Kong Delun was so old that he had such a broad experience that he naturally understood what Kong Huiyuan was referring to, and said with a bit of mocking: "The reputation of his ancestors will sooner or later be destroyed by these so-called great scholars and scholars. His ancestors could still learn from the teacher of Wuchang, and they were 60 years old. They still asked the hermits for their teachings, who can do it now?"

He pointed to a sentence in the article and said, "For my brother's favorite sentence, 'Living until old age, learning until old age! Life is endless, learning is endless. Pei Min is still unhappy, but he can see more clearly than us! We have lived for more than 80 years in vain, but we are not ashamed of him."

Kong Huiyuan also felt ashamed. Since he was a child, he knew that the Kong family would never be a pillar of the country in their lifetime. The mentality of studying culture was particularly pure, and few people compared the classics and history levels.

After he inherited his father's business, became the Imperial College, and was responsible for the national education of the Tang Dynasty, his desire for knowledge about culture was far less than before.

When I saw Pei Min's article, I found that I was a fool, a vain person, apart from my ancestor Confucius and grandfather Kong Yingda.

Compared to Confucius's seventy years old, he was still skilled in learning and studied hard in the Spring and Autumn Annals. Kong Yingda was the same year, and still held the classics and Xuanyi with the scholars, and praised Emperor Taizong as Confucius in Guanxi.

My achievements are far less than those of my ancestors, but my grandfather is very slacking off and satisfied, and I am really ashamed.

He paused and said, "Now the Shilin people are full of praise for Pei Min, but it is obvious that the people who praise are mostly rising stars in the Shilin people, as well as those who are not very successful and not a genius. Anyone with a certain status will remain silent and watch the situation. Only those with real status will have the only ones who have a good relationship with Pei Min and like He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu speak up for it."

"Absolutely!" Kong Delun sneered: "Such bad habits have been maintained for hundreds of years, so how could it be changed so easily? But a thousand-mile dike collapsed in an ant hole, a hundred-foot room, and suddenly burned smoke. Nowadays, aristocratic families are not as good as before, and the inheritance and development of Confucianism is really not as reliable as them. The poor families have the momentum to rise, so take this opportunity to win the hearts of poor families?"

Kong Huiyuan nodded and said, "This is what Brother Yu means!"

The two old guys smiled knowingly.

This person has selfish intentions, and even a person like Confucius cannot be avoided, let alone his descendants?

If the Kong family wants to maintain a low position, they don’t need to obtain any high position in the court.

One more person to learn Confucianism means one more disciple of the Confucius family, and their status will be consolidated one point.

They are willing to take this kind of thing that encourages people all over the world to learn culture.

************

Li Hong believes that not only he is as secretive as Pei Min's article, but he must have his fellow men.

It’s just because Pei Min’s status is extraordinary that no one wants to come out and be the first to be a pioneer.

They were not worried that no one in the forest was facing them, but were worried that they were excluded by the government.

Learn civil and military skills and sell them to the imperial family.

A great scholar is also a human being, and he must consider his descendants.

Once he offended Pei Min, his descendants would be unable to live in the court, which would be a big deal of losing.

But if the situation continues, they will be the ones who are injured in the end.

The first person Li Hong found was Li Yong.

Li Yong was the direct victim of this matter. Li Bai, the rising star of the amazing talent, made Li Yong's reputation awkward.

This matter is no longer a secret, and they do not think there is any problem with Li Yong's approach.

Who is Li Yong?

Great scholar!

It is famous in Jingluo and has the reputation of Xinlingjun.

Who is Li Bai? A young man from Sichuan and Sichuan, who was lucky enough to become Pei Min's apprentice. Why do you doubt Li Yong?

But no one would have thought that Pei Min would protect the calf to this point, and knocked down a group of people with one stick, causing the entire Shilin literary world to be bloody.

Now everyone is not easy to stand up, only Li Yong can stand up.

As soon as Li Hong arrived at Li's mansion, he was immediately happy and shouted in his heart: "I'm not alone!"

There are already seven people in the Li Mansion's living room, all of whom are famous figures in the scholarly forest...

They greeted each other with a bit of embarrassment, and the intention of coming was self-evident.

As the owner, Li Yong hid in the study and watched the opportunity.

The purpose of those people in the living room was the lice on the monk's head, and they all hoped that he would be the first to be the first.

Li Yong is an upright, kind and generous person on the outside, but he is a slander in his heart.

He has a very good reputation in official positions because he is good at raising scholars.

The so-called raising scholars was very common during the Warring States Period, which was to adopt disciples. The fourth sons of the Warring States Period, Xinling, Mengchang, Pingyuan, and Chunshen were all three thousand diners, and they raised a large number of capable people and strangers.

This trend has long been no longer popular, but Li Yong imitated the ancients and raised five hundred "guests".

The court does not agree with this style of cultivating scholars now, but Li Yong is very cunning and uses loopholes in the law to play the edge.

He is not a servant, but a student who is studying and providing them with food and accommodation.

This is how Li Yong's name came from. In the Shilin, he had a very high prestige. People in the Shilin compared him to Xinling Jun, saying that he had the appearance of the ancients.

It is worth mentioning that raising scholars requires huge amounts of money, and Li Yong has two sources of wealth.

One is his own ability. Li Yong's calligraphy is excellent, second only to Zhang Xu, as famous as He Zhizhang and Wang Jin, and his pen cost is as high as tens of thousands. The other is corruption. He is an official appointed by the court and uses the money used by the court to improve the people's lives. He has greedy and has raised scholars and improved his fame and status.

With the identity of a great scholar as a cover, no one noticed his small actions. He only thought that he had the heroic spirit of Xinlingjun, but did not pursue his money.

Pei Min's article poses the greatest threat to him. Li Yong was cunning and sinister, and did not rush to justify himself, but calmed down and was waiting to gather strength.

"master!"

Li Yong stood in front of the window with a handrail, with a vicious expression on his face, which was completely different from his external sunny image.

"Say, who is coming again?"

The manager said with some excitement: "This time it's Li Hong, Li Daxian is here."
