Chapter 745
"The Master said Wen, so if you know something new, you can be a teacher... If the three of you practice, there must be my teacher, choose the good ones and follow them, and the bad ones and change them."
...
"The family that accumulates good will have surplus Qing, and the family that accumulates bad will have surplus disaster."
...
"Fu Runwu, Derun body, wide heart and fat body."
...
"Old I am old, my own people are old, young I am young, and my own people are young."
...
On the land of Qilu, in the city of Linzi, in the Jixia Academy, the highest school in the empire.
In a quaint, book-filled house, there is a handsome young man with a strong book-like aura, about 18 or 19 years old, who is studying the classics and meanings of hundreds of schools of thought.
Among them, although the Confucian classics are read the most, they also dabble in some Taoist studies of Zhuang Zhou and the academic essence of other schools of thought, and also summarize and comprehend them.
"Alas, the world says that one hundred and no one is a scholar, but now it seems to make some sense."
"Although the imperial style of study is open, all the scholars and schools of thought can speak freely in the Jixia Academy and exchange their academic essence with each other in order to confirm their own academic ideas."
"But now it doesn't seem so simple."
In the study, Xun Kuang, who had been transformed from the former Tongsheng, was appointed by Ying Ji as one of the top ten sacrificial wines of Jixia Academy, put down the book at this time, and couldn't help sighing.
It must be said that what Xun Kuang said was true.
Throughout the entire empire, martial arts is the foundation of a country and the foundation of a strong country.
If there is no martial arts practice, the empire is a fat pig with oil, and there is no resistance at all in the face of the butcher knife that the enemy stretches out, and it can only be slaughtered by others.
As for Wen Dao, although you can learn the skills of running a country, but when the country is gone, where can you come to the country to govern it for you?
Even if you learn the art of dragon slaying, what's the use?
Where is it like martial arts training, as long as you succeed in training, and then make merit and survive, then the speed of being promoted to officials is absolutely unimaginable.
Didn't you see the previous imperial canonization?
Half of the large number of imperial officials and generals in the army who were promoted by His Majesty the Emperor were killed by military exploits.
As long as you have enough strength, dare to fight, and have the wisdom to pass the pass line, then you can succeed in an empire that is full of opportunities, which is much better than your hardship in the imperial government.
Although it is dangerous, it is not in the danger of wealth and wealth!
"Hey, Big Brother Lu Xun, if possible, I really want to give up literature and martial arts, and spend more time practicing martial arts. I will be brave and diligent on the road of martial arts until I reach the top."
"Strive to make great achievements like you, Brother Lu Xun, to be conferred the title of Marquis of the Empire by His Majesty, to be ranked among the nobles of the Empire, to honor your ancestors, and to be a prominent party."
"Instead of being in an embarrassing situation where there is only a third-order realm, and there is no way to go up or down."
"But I really can't."
"I am the most eye-catching person among the Confucian disciples in this session. Many parents and seniors have high hopes for me and want to train me to take over the mantle of Confucianism."
"Even His Majesty has appointed me as one of the top ten sacrificial wines of Jixia Academy. He has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. I really dare not be worthy of the emperor's grace, and dare not live up to the expectations of many Confucian elders."
Putting away the hundreds of classics in his hand, Xun Kuang felt inexplicably complicated.
Since the farewell in Linzi two years ago, Xun Kuang hadn't seen Lu Xun.
Because Lu Xun has been named the Marquis of the Empire, and he has a heavy responsibility, he can't handle all kinds of things, so how can he have time to visit Xun Kuang?
For more than two years, the two have been communicating by letter.
And because of various reasons, some unknown changes took place in the heart of Xun Kuang, who was supposed to become the Confucian boss Xun Zi in the future.
The thought of abandoning literature and martial arts came into being.
This is a very bad sign.
In fact, it is not surprising that Xun Kuang thought so.
In fact, not only Xun Kuang, but also many of the elite disciples in the hundreds of schools of thought who were responsible for studying the essence of academic research began to change under the influence of the general environment.
As the saying goes, learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and sell with the imperial family.
Each of the Hundred Sect disciples hoped that their own school could occupy the majority of the empire, and also hoped that they would be reused.
In this way, the goal of letting one's own school overwhelm other schools and allowing oneself to be used.
After all, there is no one from a hundred schools of thought who doesn't want to be promoted to an official position, a prominent one.
Otherwise, why would there be a school debate in Jixia Academy every three years?
It's not to show their value, so as to attract the attention of the high-level empire and be reused.
This is human nature, nothing wrong with it.
Like Shang Yang from the Legal Family, Zhang Yi from the Guigu Zongheng Family, and Bai Qi from the Military Family, these extremely strong imperial bosses are all fierce people who have gone out from the families of the masters. They are all living examples.
The example of the predecessors is in front of us, and their descendants are also jealous.
And what's the use even if you've read all the classics?
At most, it is to be delegated to the county to be a government official. Unless you really have outstanding talents, you will not be able to get ahead without spending a few years with him.
And that has to be based on good performance and no major faults.
There is no martial arts practice to directly enhance the lifespan.
As for the chief executives of the states?
Hehe, don't think about it, all of them were taken away by the group of fierce people who followed His Majesty to fight around in the early days.
If you want to grab them, you have to weigh yourself.
Unless you have the kind of talent of Shangjun, reaching the sky in one step is a dream.
Literature is not as good as martial arts, this is the idea of the vast majority of people in the world.
Even Xun Kuang, the great man, was subtly influenced.
Indeed, according to its current form, Daqin has a tendency to transform into a fantasy world.
Everything is built on the basis of strength, without strength everything is empty talk.
Only civil and military advancement is the best policy.
If you ignorantly study academia, or spend too much time studying academia, which leads to a fall in your martial arts cultivation, then there will be no way out in the future, and you will only be left alone!
…
"It's strange. I haven't studied hard recently, but why do I feel that I have recently understood the academic essence of hundreds of schools of thought more thoroughly?"
"And there is a sense of a master who is about to become a master?"
"Isn't this the feeling that only sages and sages have?"
Looking at the half-person-height books stacked on the desk, Xun Kuang couldn't help but wonder.
Naturally, Xun Kuang didn't know that the rules of Wen Dao cultivation released by Ying Ji would gradually start to show their power after they spread all over the world.
Staring at the volume of books placed on the desk, Xun Kuang, who was at the third-order martial arts realm, was a hundred times more energetic than ordinary people and felt a little tired at this time.
The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and the vision is getting blurry, as if to fall asleep at any time.
"People's virtue is also for me, and I can't forget it. I have virtue for others, so I can't forget it..."
Although his vision became more blurred, the contents of that volume of "Warring States Policy" were clearly reflected in Xun Kuang's brain before Xun Kuang completely fell asleep.
A change that is enough to change the future of the empire is happening quietly in a study...
