Chapter 68 Changjiong Official Records (2)

Three months later

Chang'an

Imperial College

Emperor Liu Che decided to establish the Imperial Academy, and he served as the Imperial Academy professor with the Doctor of the Five Classics, teaching the students of the Imperial Academy, namely the five major Confucian classics, namely "Poetry", "Book", "Rites", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn Annals".

The five professors are Dong Zhongshu, Gongsun Hong, Sang Hongyang, Wang Changjiong and Kong Yannian.

Among them, Dong Zhongshu and Sang Hongyang need not be said much. Many of the policies they proposed were deeply loved by the emperor. Kong Yannian was the direct descendant of Confucius, Gongsun Hong was a famous Confucian scholar in the world, and Wang Changjiong relied on the recommendation of his cousin Wang Changzhi and the queen's guard Zifu.

Students from all counties and countries around the world gathered together, with about a hundred people. They are all talented people from all counties and countries, but now they gather in this small Imperial Academy to obey the teachings of the five Imperial Academy professors.

"Have you met the teacher!"

When Wang Changjiong came to the Imperial Academy, the students saluted him one after another.

"People, please sit down."

Wang Changjiong smiled slightly. Although he did not have a sense of family and country and never cared about the people, his research on Confucian classics would never be inferior to anyone, and it was more than enough to teach these students.

He understands Confucianism very well, but has never truly practiced the concept of Confucianism.

Understanding is one thing, and practice is another.

It’s like the Wang family always knew that too much slaughtering the tenant farmers would arouse resistance, but they knew it was one thing, but the Wang family never thought of improving the tenant farmers’ lives.

I know that enslaving you will cause you to resist, and I also understand the principle that water can carry a boat and can overturn it, but I just want to enslave you, because if I don’t enslave you, I can’t enjoy it. It’s that simple.

It is precisely because of his thorough research on Confucianism and the recommendations of Wang Changzhi and Wei Zifu that he was able to serve as a professor of Imperial Academy in the world's largest institution.

Scholars learn to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism every day, compassionate with the people, privately annex the land and enslave tenant farmers all day long, both of which have always been carried out at the same time.

Due to the emperor's preference, the "Spring and Autumn Annals" taught by the Imperial Academy is the Gongyang Dynasty, which is related to the Gongyang Dynasty's advocacy of officials, mountains and seas, great unification, great revenge, and the Three Worlds.

These advocacy of Gongyang Zhuan is very in line with the needs of Emperor Liu Che for internal unity and external expansion of Xinjiang, so it was established by Emperor Liu Che as the orthodox Spring and Autumn Period. Among them, Sang Hongyang was a firm defender of Gongyang Zhuan.

However, Wang Changjiong didn't have that much thought. He had in-depth research on the Gongyang Chronicle and the Guliang Chronicle, which was not liked by Emperor Liu Che, but he did not take it seriously. Now the emperor likes the Gongyang Chronicle, so he taught the students to learn the Gongyang Chronicle Spring and Autumn. If the later emperors like the Guliang Chronicle, he would teach the students to learn the Guliang Chronicle Spring and Autumn without hesitation.

Everything is just to please the emperors of the times. After all, the doctrine is to serve those in power, and the doctrine is not supported by those in power. Even if the content is very varied, few people in the world are willing to learn it.

"Professor of the Imperial Academy?"

In the center of Luohu Lake, Wang Tairan was taking Xu Caiwei to fish on a small boat in the lake. Such a leisurely life is very precious to him. Since he became the head of the Wang family, he has rarely had such leisurely moments.

However, just as he closed his eyes, enjoyed the sunlight, and waited for the fish wisher to take the bait, the [Achievement] function in his mind changed again.

【Achievement 3: Professor of Imperial Academy

Effect: When a family child becomes an adult, as long as he enters the Imperial Academy to serve as a professor, he can awaken his talent and "not forget it"]

【Talent: never forget it after reading

Effect: If you have read the book carefully three times, you will never forget the contents of the book]

Achievement is a good achievement, and the talent you awaken is even better, but the conditions for awakening are too harsh...

"What's wrong?"

Xu Caiwei looked at Wang Tairan in confusion. She just turned 40 this year, but she also grew a lot of white hair. It was because the Xu family was destroyed a few years ago, which made her sad. Although the Wang family killed a maid and used the maid's head to pretend that Xu Caiwei's head was handed over to Donglai County, the hatred of the family being destroyed was always engraved into Xu Caiwei's heart.

She hated the Han court, but she was powerless and could not do anything. She drank alcohol every day to relieve her sorrow. If Wang Tairan had not enlightened her, she would have probably jumped into the lake and committed suicide.

"No..." Before Wang Tairan could finish his words, water ripples appeared on the lake.

"Haha! The fish finally took the bait!"

Wang Tairan laughed loudly, put away the fishing rod and pulled the big fish that was hooked up.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The fish were thrown onto the wooden boat and kept swaying their tails to slap the boat board.

Wang Tairan rolled up his sleeves and untied the fish from the hook, his face full of an old farmer's harvest smile.

Today, he did not wear gorgeous clothes, but to better experience the comfort of fishing, he wore a clean and tidy shirt, rolled his legs on his calves and a sun-visible straw hat on his head.

Even Xu Caiwei, the eldest lady of the Xu family, who has always loved beauty, did not wear silk clothes as usual, but instead wore linen clothes like a peasant woman. However, the clothes were too neat and clean, and her face was too white and tender, and she did not look like a peasant woman who worked in the sun all year round.

The boating was rowing two slaves from the Wang family, and a maid from the Wang family was playing with the fish in the wooden bucket.

Even the two slaves and this maid were dressed more gorgeous than Wang Tairan and Xu Caiwei.

"Sometimes, I really envy those fishermen who can fish in the lake and at the sea every day, and don't have to fight with the powerful people in the court all day long, thinking about so many troubles every day." Wang Tairan leaned on the wooden boat board, and didn't care whether it was dirty or not. He squinted his eyes and stretched out his palm to touch the sunlight above his forehead.

"Husband, you are talking nonsense again. We fish for fishing, and fishing for fishing is survival. The nature is completely different. If you really want to be a fisherman, you can only rely on the income from fishing to support your family every day. You have to envy the lives of the gentry again." Although Xu Caiwei is just a woman, she also understands that Wang Tairan's complaints are just complaints about life that are too good for the upper class. If they really let them live a completely similar life as those of the lower class, it is not the comfort of vacation, but the survival troubles caused by the firewood, rice, oil and salt.

"Haha..." Wang Tairan couldn't help but smile. He naturally knew these principles. He just hadn't been out for too long, so he just said something about envying fishermen to relieve his mood. If someone really thinks that people with a status like him will envy the lower class, that is a real fool.

"When Changzhi comes back, I will pass on the position of the head of the family to him, and then I will take you to the mountain to plant a few pieces of land, plant some beans, recite poems and essays every day, and not bowing for five dou of rice. How about it?" Wang Tairan was conceiving his future vacation plan.

Although they all farm, people with such status as Wang Tairan simply experience life, and tenant farmers farm for survival, and their nature is completely different.

"That's pretty good." Xu Caiwei also thought it was good, so they naturally could not live on the little income they had to farm. Farming was just an alternative enjoyment for them. When they didn't have food, there would naturally be maids and servants at the foot of the mountain to bring food.
