Chapter 393: Leave the tea to cool down!
Hanlin Academy.
In the next few days, Xia Zhibai was in the Hanlin Academy.
Stay with books all day long.
Now that his status in the Hanlin Academy has completely improved, Liu Sanwu, Fang Xiaoru and others no longer dare to look down upon him. Liu Sanwu finally returned to the Hanlin Academy in the cold winter after "recuperating due to illness" for a while.
When I returned to the Hanlin Academy, I was still greeted by someone.
Huang Zhang, Dong Guan and others heard that Liu Sanwu was back and took the initiative to go out to greet him.
But compared to the previous groups, this time it was relatively shabby.
Seeing Liu Sanwu, Huang Zhang greeted him enthusiastically and said, "Old Bachelor Liu, are you in better health?"
Liu Sanwu said with a smile on his thin cheeks: "Thank you for your concern, little friend. It's much better. Did anything happen in the Hanlin Academy while I was away?"
Huang Zhang glanced at Dong Guan and said with a helpless smile: "There is nothing major happening in the courtyard. It's just that Xia Zhibai is becoming more and more powerful in the courtyard. The entire Hanlin Academy has almost become his voice. Anyone who disagrees with him will All his ideas will be directly refuted by him. Currently, the compilation of the book is all done according to Xia Zhibai’s thoughts.”
"I can't get in at all."
Huang Zhang smiled bitterly, but he was also quite depressed.
With their talents and place, who dares not to look at them more, and who dares not to take their words seriously?
But this Xia Zhibai doesn't eat soft or hard food.
Dong Guandao: "Under his orders, the Han Dynasty instituted a lot of aggressive military tactics, and the Jin Dynasty became a disaster of the 'Five Poisons'. The subsequent Southern and Northern Dynasties were forcibly attached to the death of the Xia Dynasty and the integration of the states." Together, there are the great achievements of the Sui Dynasty, the separatist rule of vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty, the over-issuance of paper money in the Song Dynasty, the untouchables and ignorant people in the Yuan Dynasty, and the party disputes that have always existed in the court, etc. "
"The history books he wanted to compile have all turned into negative histories of major dynasties. He also said that he wanted future generations to learn from history."
"Don't follow the old path of ruined dynasties."
Dong Guan shook his head.
If we teach and educate people about things like history, how can we teach these things to students? Isn't this misleading people? And were these dynasties really as evil as Xia Zhibai described? If the Han Dynasty had resorted to military violence, how could there be the rule of Wen and Jing? Do Song Dynasty banknotes matter?
What’s the problem with the untouchables and ignorant people of the Yuan Dynasty?
He just couldn't figure it out.
Xia Zhibai is a scholar, a person with status and face. Why should he question the scholar's sacred side? What good will it do to him if exposed? Do we really want to see these scholars being laughed at by untouchables, saying that they are useless?
This world is governed by scholars.
Who knows this truth throughout the ages?
But Xia Zhibai insisted on doing the opposite. They argued hard, but Xia Zhibai scolded him and said he was "taking history as a mirror". Taking history as a mirror means exposing the ugly sides of many scholars. come out? Just write out all the bad things in the world?
There is no such thing as perfection in the world.
Huang Zhang sneered: "That's not all."
"During your absence, Old Bachelor Liu, a lot of things were forced into his miscellaneous subjects, such as force, heat, electricity, light and sound, the continuous segmentation of objects, and astronomy and geography. Anyway, he mixed all kinds of things together.”
"That book, even for me, felt blurry after reading it, let alone those students?"
"This Xia Zhibai has put the cart before the horse!"
"I made a bunch of specious and aimless things, trying to show my difference, but it was precisely these that exposed the vulgarity of Xia Zhibai's knowledge. He had little knowledge of many things, especially the books of sages. , and even know nothing about it, so I don’t dare to read much about the teachings of saints and sages, and I only dare to work hard on these side doctrines. I think that book of miscellaneous knowledge will be burned out sooner or later.” Huang Zhang’s eyes were full of contempt.
Instead of learning the ways of saints and sages, he went to learn miscellaneous subjects. In Huang Zhang's heart, this was ignorance and incompetence, and it was even more perverse. It was something he would never tolerate. Scholars should behave like scholars and should not neglect their duties.
He has been really angry recently.
Liu Sanwu frowned.
He snorted coldly: "I have long seen that this Xia Zhibai's mind is not right, and his mind is not on learning at all. In the past, he relied on opportunism to barely get into the eyes of His Majesty, and he wants to continue to use this trick to deceive him. Abduction.”
"His tricks are too immature."
"Your Majesty today admires Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and the most important thing about Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is restraint, but Xia Zhibai is obsessed with 'letting go'. This is contrary to His Majesty's thoughts. I would like to take a look now. , how will he face His Majesty’s anger when he actually submits these books?”
Huang Zhang nodded vigorously and said: "I think so too."
He continued with a sneer: "So during this period of time, I and other Hanlin scholars have been very serious about compiling books, just to finish compiling these books as soon as possible, so that we can get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, and at the same time, we can see how Xia Zhibai will end up. ”
"But Old Bachelor Liu, when you were away, we had no backbone. Now that you are back, our hearts are finally at ease."
Dong Guan also smiled and nodded in agreement.
Liu Sanwu frowned, his expression a little unnatural.
It's okay to complain about Xia Zhibai in private, but he really has no interest in confronting Xia Zhibai again, especially since his son-in-law told him last month about Xia Zhibai's new and wonderful ideas, and He also gained approval from His Highness, which made him even more afraid.
Moreover, how could he not know what Huang Zhang and Dong Guan were thinking?
They themselves did not dare to trouble Xia Zhibai, so they wanted to push themselves out and let themselves stand up for them so that they could decide later based on the situation. How could he be willing to be used as a weapon?
Liu Sanwu said calmly: "I haven't been here for more than a month. I am already a little unfamiliar with the situation in the Hanlin Academy. I would like to introduce you to me to get acquainted with it."
Huang Zhang smiled and said: "This is natural."
"In fact, the Hanlin Academy has not changed much, and it is unlikely that there will be too many changes."
"."
Huang Zhang talked to Liu Sanwu enthusiastically, and the three of them stepped into the room of the Hanlin Academy one after another. When they saw Liu Sanwu coming back, many Hanlin bachelors showed a strange look in their eyes, and then looked at them with strange expressions. He glanced at the back room and then said hello to Liu Sanwu with a smile.
Liu Sanwu pretended not to see it, smiled and nodded.
When Huang Zhang and Dong Guan left, the smile on Liu Sanwu's face completely disappeared, replaced by melancholy and melancholy. When he came back today, he felt one thing deeply. , how could it end up so deserted?
But now.
Most of them just nodded in response.
People’s hearts are scattered!
