Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty Two: Granting Jue (Monthly Pass)
After hearing the boy's words, Yan Shenggong's face suddenly pulled down and he couldn't help but say, "What happened? Dare Chen, what happened to make such a joke?"
Yan Shenggong seemed unhappy, his face became more and more gloomy, as if the sky was about to fall.
"Where is the sacrifice, come here!"
The boy hurriedly delivered the sacrificial text to Yan Shenggong.
Yan Shenggong glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was confused. He did not accept the sacrificial text, but said, "There was something wrong in Luoyang. Luoyang Academy made a joke at the sacrificial ceremony."
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
How could something happen? There has never been an accident in the past five hundred years. Such solemn sacrifices are considered a major event for all countries. How could something happen?
So everyone showed a very puzzled look.
Yan Shenggong said the matter roughly, and his face showed a deep look of worry. In his opinion, this was simply a sign of ritual collapse and music.
Then, he glanced at the boy and said, "Pull out the article."
The boy nodded: "The heaven and earth have righteousness..."
Everyone was silent and listened to the recitation.
At first, everyone understood why something happened, but soon... someone began to move.
This is definitely a masterpiece that can be remembered forever. Even if the Yansheng Gong Mansion is not promoted, it will be enough to shine forever.
Shocking.
Deeply shocked.
There is nothing else coiled in everyone's heart except shock.
After finishing the article, Xinglin fell into a brief silence.
After a long time, Wen Zhenggong finally spoke first: "Article is an excellent article and can be called a masterpiece. But... I think this article is indeed a rude thing in the sacrificial ceremony."
This is indeed a good article, but...
Yan Shenggong's face was still extremely gloomy and still seemed very unhappy.
This is exactly what he was most resistant to. Wen Zhenggong was right. Once he lost his etiquette, the etiquette would collapse and the music would be broken.
The collapse of rituals and music is the worst case for Yansheng Gongfu.
After thinking for a while, Yan Shenggong said lightly: "Then, let's give up the school order to reprimand."
"But..." Wen Zhonggong, who was standing beside him, said worriedly: "It is Chen Kaizhi who wrote this tribute. Yan Shenggong Mansion cannot both praise and reprimand."
An unhappy look flashed through Yan Shenggong's eyes, obviously thinking that Chen Kaizhi was causing trouble. He said coldly: "Prior to reprimand, otherwise once everyone imitates, people's hearts will change."
Duke Wen Zhong shook his head and said, "The master's plan is profound, and I am impressed by the fact that I am impressed, but I have a question."
"You said it!"
Wen Zhonggong asked worriedly: "Your thought, what is this article?"
Yan Shenggong hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Good article."
Immediately, Duke Wen Zhong asked again: "Can it be passed down to the world?"
Yan Shenggong read at the age of three, and he understood all Confucian classics. How could he not know anything? He subconsciously replied: "Yes."
Wen Zhonggong was silent for a moment before continuing: "As the teacher said, as soon as this article was released, the Luoyang Academy suddenly became a mess, and countless students sang along. This shows the power of this article. Then this article must have begun to spread. Since the students of Luoyang Academy highly praised this article, what about the scholars from other places?"
"Once this article becomes a classic, chanting everywhere and spread to later generations, the Duke's Mansion warned Chen Kaizhi in the name of etiquette and law. What I am concerned about is what the students in the world will think?"
Yan Shenggong's eyes turned cold and said, "What do you mean is to ban this article and list it as a banned article?"
"It's too late." Wen Zhonggong sighed and continued: "What's more, this article is righteous and evident, and what it conveys is the essence advocated by the saints. Once banned, it is more likely to be counterproductive."
Just now, Yan Shenggong only thought about the collapse of rituals and music, and was worried and angry, but after Gong Wen Zhong said this, he realized that things were far from that simple.
He wandered, then raised his eyes and said, "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Wen Zhong said righteously: "It is better to be loose than to block it. Why not admit this article with the flow? Not only that, it is also necessary to praise it."
"This is against etiquette." Wen Zhenggong, who was standing beside him, made a generous speech.
Duke Wen Zhong shook his head and said, "What is the system? Yansheng Gongfu recognized it, this is the system. The academic institution can include this article in the following text to worship Zhongyihou. In this way, it will not be considered a ritual."
Yan Shenggong seemed to have begun to weigh the pros and cons, and his eyes froze, and after thinking about it, he said, "This article is indeed a masterpiece, and it is worthy of all ages. However, he first wrote the Three Character Classic and the sacrificial text. The Duke's Mansion only rewarded him, which made the reward too little."
"Then I will give you a title." Wen Zhong said righteously: "The academic title was issued by the Duke's Office. The original intention was to reward those who contribute to the sage. This young man has such talent and knowledge. If he does not give a title, it is really unreasonable."
Wen Zhenggong frowned and said, "How to explain the Lu family in Jingzhou?"
Wen Zhonggong's face turned cold and he said sternly: "The government does not need to explain it to others."
After weighing the pros and cons, Yan Shenggong said, "Let's consider the Lu family next year and let them wait. For Chen Kaizhi's affairs, you will formulate the academic order early."
Seeing that Yan Shenggong had made up his mind, everyone was different, but they all said, "Yes."
Seeing that Yan Shenggong lowered his eyes and stopped speaking, everyone understood and stood up one after another, bowed a long time, preparing to say goodbye.
Yan Shenggong just nodded and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Li, stay."
This Mr. Li was Wen Zhong, so the others walked away slowly, while Mr. Wen Zhong sat down.
Yan Shenggong opened his mouth and said, "Recently, the star official looked at the celestial phenomena at night and said that there was a star in the West, which was originally dim, but it was suddenly dazzling recently. This star is adjacent to the Wenchang Star, and there are signs of replacement. Is this a sign of collapse of rituals and music? What I worry most about in this sacrifice is that it just confirms the celestial phenomena."
Wen Zhong said with a stern face: "My husband is worried too much."
"Yes." Yan Sheng said righteously: "I hope... I'm overthinking. I have been grateful to my ancestors and have been well aware of the difficulty of maintaining my career. Therefore, I am so nervous that I dare not slack off. Recently, some people have presented the Five Stones and have become more and more cheerful, as if they have understood the secrets of heaven, but this secret is also vague."
Duke Wen Zhong frowned slightly, but said, "Five stones powder is not a fairy medicine, it's better to use it less."
Yan Sheng Gong could not refuse: "Go."
Duke Wen Zhong stood up and said to salute.
But Yan Shenggong suddenly said, "I heard that there have been miscellaneous scholars who have sneaked in in Beiyan and other places recently, right?"
Wen Zhong said righteously: "I have noticed many such things in the past, but in the end I found out that it was mostly false."
Yan Shenggong's eyes sank: "You must always prevent problems before they happen. Send a student envoy to Beiyan to check. Although they are not in a state of climate, they should be cautious after all."
He raised his eyes and looked straight at Wen Zhonggong, with a cool face and a particularly tough tone: "I would rather kill than indulge!"
Duke Wen Zhong lowered his head and did not dare to look at Duke Yan Sheng's sharp eyes: "Yes."

No matter how controversial this song of righteousness has caused, the Feiyu Peak project has begun.
So in the evening of that day, after Chen Kai got home from school, someone came to visit.
This man is over 50 years old, but he looks very energetic. When he met Chen Kaizhi, he said, "The villain's surname is Wang and his name is Wang Jian. He is not worth mentioning. The young master just calls me Wang Jiangzhu. The villain has supervised the construction of some temples in the mountains and has also supervised the construction of some palaces for the Ministry of Works. He has some experience in the construction."
Chen Kaizhi hurriedly asked him to come into the room and saw Deng Jian protruding his head outside, and he couldn't help but wink at him.
Why is this senior brother like a thief?
Deng Jian did not enter the house and just wandered outside. Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. He had nothing shameful about it, so he could understand it. He looked at it first every time.
Chen Kaizhi simply didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Immediately, Chen Kaizhi's eyes were on Wang Jian and said slowly: "The students don't know much about the creation, so I'll have to worry about it in the future."
Wang Jian hurriedly said, "This is a matter of course. It's my duty. You are too polite."
Wang Jian seemed very reserved, probably because the craftsman had a low status in this era.
Chen Kaizhi smiled and continued politely: "But the students have quite some requirements."
Wang Jian said respectfully: "The villain was hired by the young master, so he should naturally listen to the young master."
Chen Kaizhi took out a dense piece of paper and handed it to Wang Jian.
When Wang Jian opened it, he found that it was not only the composition of Feiyu Peak, but also various construction requirements, which were very detailed and clear at a glance.
The most interesting ones were the ideas and ideas that he had never even thought of. He was a little confused and looked patiently, then raised his eyes slightly: "If we follow this completely, the villain can give it a try. The only trouble is that such a project cannot be achieved by manpower alone. It is not necessary to use gunpowder to open mountains and explode stones. This is a forbidden matter, which is a crime of beheading."
"But if you don't use gunpowder, it will be difficult to realize the idea like the young master. You have to use thousands of people."
This is the truth. It is the most difficult to get out of the mountain. Chen Kaizhi’s requirements are too high. No matter how rich he is, he cannot withstand consumption.
Chen Kaizhi seemed to have been ready for a long time and smiled and said, "This is the easiest thing, you can use gunpowder for Feiyu Peak."
"What..." Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of disbelief, and the corners of his mouth squirmed slightly, and he stuttered: "This... is..."
Chen Kaizhi knew that Wang Jian was a little scared. After all, using gunpowder privately at this time was a crime of beheading, and no one dared to use it.
Therefore, Chen Kaizhi smiled and explained: "Feiyushan is in the academy, but the academy is beyond the law. Didn't the teacher forget it? The court cannot manage the affairs in the academy, but the affairs in the academy peak cannot control the affairs in the academy. This is a mountain given by the saints. As long as you don't come out of the mountain, you can do whatever you want, who can control it?"
