Straight man of steel

Chapter 281
Early the next morning.

Inside and outside Taixue, there are heart-pounding bells ringing everywhere.

Whenever the bell rings, it indicates that something big will happen. In Du County, the matter of Taixue is naturally the biggest.

Zhang Yuan gave this descendant of Confucius enough face. According to the rules, not to mention the bell, even the front hall could not be used by him alone.

"What happened? Didn't it say that the bell will ring only on the day when school starts?"

The students in Taixue are very curious.

"The bell should have rang six times on the first day of school, but now it only rang three times. It shouldn't be such an important thing."

The careful student discovered this detail, and immediately told everyone.

"Don't worry about whether it's important or not. It must be a big deal. Let's go to the front hall and see what's going on."

"Yes, hurry up, I guess I won't be able to catch up if it's later."

As a result, students in small groups gathered together with their friends and walked towards the front hall.

It was not only the students who heard the bell, the doctors of the Pentateuch and their disciples also heard the bell.

When Hu Wusheng, who was still eating, heard the bell, his heart skipped a beat. He secretly said that he was sorry, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and led two students to the door.

Just when he arrived at the door, the other four doctors came out with their students.

Zhang Sheng hurried to Hu Wusheng's side and asked.

"Brother Hu, do you know what happened?"

Hu Wusheng shook his head blankly.

"The ringing of the bell in the Taixue must be approved by Zhang Yuan. It must be that the Taixue Ling is unwilling to be lonely and wants to come up with something."

Not all doctors have a bad impression of Zhang Yuan. Han Ying has a very good impression of Zhang Yuan, and he always regards Zhang Yuan as a figure who can suppress the "Spring and Autumn" school.

Hearing Hu Wusheng's insinuation, Han Ying frowned and said calmly.

"What you say now is just guesswork. When we go to the front hall, we will know what the Tai Xueling wants to do."

Several doctors nodded one after another and began to walk towards the front hall with the support of their students.

Among these doctors, Hu Wusheng was younger, and the others were in their twilight years. Their residences were not very close to the front hall, but it was too late to rush to the mansion to catch the carriage at this time.

As for Kong Anguo, he had already reached the high platform outside the front hall door before the bell rang. In any case, Kong Anguo was Sima Qian's teacher. At this moment, Sima Qian was also wearing plain clothes and standing behind Kong Anguo.

A master and an apprentice, looking from a distance, there is a feeling of immortality.

As for Zhang Yuan, he didn't show up at all, and was still resting in his own mansion, but King Shou of Wuqiu led a group of officials to watch here.

"Teacher, are you ready to deal with today's situation?"

Sima Qian stood behind and asked a little timidly.

"Of course, no matter what happens today, I will give a lecture in the front hall."

Kong Anguo was very high-spirited.

After about a quarter of an hour, almost all the students who could come had arrived, and Kong Anguo didn't want to wait any longer.

Because the five doctors also stood on the square, their eyes gathered on Kong Anguo, wanting to see what would happen next.

"Doctors, students."

All the people standing here were literati, and there were basically no noisy voices, some just bowed their heads and whispered, so Kong Anguo's voice could reach the ears of more than 200 people present.

"I am the tenth grandson of Kong Sheng, Qilu Kong Anguo.

Today, I have received the order of the Imperial Academy to give lectures and lectures to all the students in the main hall behind me.

Those who are willing to listen, please move to the hall, and those who intend to make trouble, please stop here. "

After saying that, Kong Anguo turned his head coolly and led Sima Qian into the main hall without looking back.

He didn't dare to delay, because he knew that trouble would happen next.

"The school has not yet started, and the students in the Taixue have not yet arrived. Why did the Taixue Ling open the front hall and let a child with a yellow mouth give lectures?"

Hu Wusheng waved his hands angrily and shouted to the high platform, but Kong Anguo had already left. Although he heard this sentence clearly, he suppressed his displeasure and pretended not to hear it.

After a long time of no response, Hu Wusheng became even more angry, and everyone below talked about it.

"The Taixue Order set a precedent for Kong Sheng's descendants. I don't know what Kong Anguo's knowledge is like?"

"Oh, he is the grandson of Kong Sheng, so he is naturally knowledgeable. Let's go in now and grab a good seat. Maybe we can ask a few questions about Kong Sheng."

"Yes, anyway, school hasn't started yet, and I have nothing to do all day, so there's nothing wrong with going in and listening to it. At worst, let's go if the speech is not good."

"This brother is right. Gathering the strengths of a hundred schools of thought to forge me. This is my ambition to enter the Imperial Academy. No matter which lecturer's class, I will go and listen to it."

Looking at the crowd pouring into the hall, Hu Wusheng covered his chest and wanted to curse, but he was afraid of affecting his image.

The other doctors, including Han Ying, felt a little uncomfortable.

This front hall has been agreed before, and it will be used by several of their doctors to give lectures together. As long as one is missing, it cannot be used, and Zhang Yuan's consent must be sought first.

Now Kong Anguo can use the front hall to give lectures alone. Isn't this a disguised way of saying that several of their Ph.D.s are not as good as a young man in his 20s?

"Tai Xuecheng is standing at the entrance of the palace, let's go over and ask what's going on.

In any case, no one can break the rules of Taixue. "

"Yes, go and ask."

Standing outside the hall, King Wuqiu Shou saw several doctors and their students walking toward him, and a wry smile immediately appeared on his face.

'Sure enough, Taixue Ling let me guard here, just to deal with these troublesome things. '

He thought depressedly in his heart.

"Tai Xuecheng, what happened today.

At the beginning, we all set the rules, how could we be so bad because of Kong Anguo. "

Hu Wusheng questioned Wuqiu Shouwang. At this time, Wuqiu Shouwang didn't have a good face, at least he didn't have to humble himself to these doctors.

In terms of official position, Tai Xuecheng is above the doctor of the Five Classics, that is to say, he has suffered a lot due to his age.

If Dong Zhongshu were here, King Wuqiu Shou would be respectful and dare not make any mistakes, but as far as these old doctors are concerned, to put it bluntly, they are the only ones who take themselves seriously.

Other great scholars were able to enter the court and be used in important positions, such as Gongsun Hong, or Dong Zhongshu, who was not in Chang'an but could stir up the muddy waters of Chang'an at any time.

If everyone among Confucian scholars can do this, the world must belong to Confucianism, and even the emperor cannot compete.

It is precisely because there are too many pedantic people that Liu Che dares to use Confucianism as a tool to control people's hearts and the world with peace of mind.
