"Just now, the mountain chief sent someone to make it clear that Mr. Yangming and I are not the only ones going on this trip, there will also be several great scholars going together. We are here at the invitation of Master Gu of Wude Academy to meet with
The mountain chief has given permission for him to talk about Taoism and scriptures. How can you behave like a child? Why don't you get on your horse and lead the way?"
At this time, Lin Fengjin thought for a moment and realized that such a move was clearly a sign that the academy was on his side! He was shocked, but what else could he say? He wiped away the tears on his face and hurried away.
He raised his whip and galloped away in front of his head.
***
The visit of Hongru from Donglin Academy is indeed a big event for Wude Academy. All matters must be perfect and perfect!
Because speaking in a small way, if you are not well received, unless you do not deal with the No. 1 Academy in the world, then if you are short of food, clothing, housing and transportation, then if you visit Donglin Academy in the future, you will not be able to do anything.
Good people will come back.
Looking at the big picture, Wude Academy is also one of the four major academies in the world, and there are also countless pairs of eyes staring at you. Your dignified academy can't even do a good job in reception and reception, and it will suddenly become the laughing stock of the world.
, in this case, those people, regardless of whether they have malicious intentions or not, will stand up and laugh and accuse loudly, causing the reputation of Wude Academy to plummet.
Therefore, no matter how deep the friction between Wude Academy and Donglin Academy is, or how many differences there are behind the scenes, the superficial skills must be done well, otherwise, it will really lose one's identity.
Because of this, the two things that Lin Fengjin was most worried about before: the hunt for him by the crown prince who had ascended the throne, and the secret pursuit in Wude Academy, were revealed so easily. No one
For daring to be rude to this group of visiting scholars from Donglin Academy, the treatment they received was even more grand than that of the envoys from the Northern Qi Dynasty. After all, at this time, only one-sixth of the officials in the Central Tang Dynasty were out of state.
The feelings of the disciples of Donglin Academy cannot be ignored.
Along the way, the convoy composed of Donglin Academy passed through counties and houses, and there were even many people who came to pay their respects along the way, because both Mr. Jiuyuan and Mr. Yangming are world-famous Confucians! Especially in recent years.
Under the influence of Lin Fengjin's subtle hype, people in this era have never seen Lin Fengjin's propaganda techniques from later generations? So the effect is excellent.
In addition, the Lin family's caravans are spread all over the world and there are many channels. As a disciple, he advocates for his teacher. Even if someone sees through the trick, others think that this is a rare virtue of Lin Fengjin as a disciple. It is natural.
It is wrong to advocate that. Therefore, at this time, the reputations of Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming were even higher than those of other scholars.
At this time, the reputation of the two people was very high. Lu Jiuyuan entered Taoism with a sword, and there was a vague call for the best swordsman in the world. You know, how can it be so easy to be labeled the best sword in the world? It itself represents
Wang Yangming has made immortal achievements. In his early years, Mr. Yangming had been called a "great sage". Now he has not only confirmed the title of great sage, but some people have also proposed to add a subtitle to Wang Yangming's title!
Throughout the dynasties, those who could add "Zi" to their titles were all saints born every five hundred years, such as Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi... This formulation actually means that Wang Yangming's achievements are even He can be compared with the sages, and it really elevates Wang Yangming's status to a very high level!
In the face of these enthusiastic visitors, it is obviously impossible to meet everyone. However, Donglin Academy, which is the best in the world, has formed a series of relevant regulations. How to receive people with enthusiasm but not neglect, so that Everyone who saw it was flattered. Although the people who came all the way could not see the deity, they were also grateful. They all have fixed methods and do not need Lin Fengjin to worry about. However, it does not hinder Lin Fengjin himself. Spend some money to add some icing on the cake and make some improvements.
For example, when Mr. Jiuyuan meets someone, he chooses a quiet room that is extremely clean and tidy, and then he doesn't speak. Next to it is a couplet with seven words: "Silence is better than sound at this time." He burns incense and closes his eyes to meditate.
People who come in to pay homage will naturally feel as sincere and fearful as if they were worshiping a god under such a strong atmosphere. They will sit in silence and apprehension, and then they will invite them to drink a cup of fragrant tea. People with low cultivation levels will naturally be trained with their eyes closed. The sword intent emanating from Lu Jiuyuan of the Heart Sword brought him into the illusion. It was as if the battle had been going on for a very long time, and once the tea time was up, he naturally couldn't bear it and took the initiative to leave.
In this case, a quiet room can accommodate at least ten people, and it will not affect Lu Jiuyuan's own cultivation. The people being received will not think that Lu Jiuyuan is arrogant, but will feel that the best swordsman in the world should be of this style!
When he finally left, Lin Fengjin smiled and presented a set of exquisite Four Treasures of the Study, with the four words "Donglin Yuyun" written on it. The workmanship is also extremely fine, and the materials used are also extremely sophisticated. It is like a handicraft that you can't put down. , and it is not a vulgar thing------Of course, this gift was sponsored by Lin Fengjin. His family has a big business, and he does not lack the tens of thousands of taels of silver he spent to customize these four treasures of the study.
In this way, these scholars and students who were received gained face and dignity, and they actually met Mr. Jiuyuan and appreciated his miraculous sword intent. What else is there to say? Even after being affected The feeling of entering the fantasy world is your own bragging rights, and it must be the praise of your achievements.
Along the way, not to mention Mr. Yangming and Lu Jiuyuan, but also the accompanying Min Zhen, Zhou Dunyi, and Zhang Tang, the representative of the mountain chief Dong Zhongshu, and other great scholars also felt the real benefits. There were crowds of people everywhere, and people lined the streets to welcome him. It is estimated that the prestige of Donglin Academy can be increased by at least 10% or 20% compared to before, not to mention the increase in prestige of the great scholars.
Therefore, Zhang Tang thought about it carefully, and then asked Lin Fengjin. After learning that his mother's condition could last for at least half a year, he decided to slow down the trip and extend the distance that he expected to cover in one month to two. Month------Let's continue the hype. Of course, the disadvantage is that the exquisite Four Treasures of the Study sponsored by Lin Fengjin will definitely be given away thousands more copies, but Lin Fengjin won't care about such a small amount of money.
As for the extra month of delay, Lin Fengjin doesn't care. If he gets the antidote, it will only take him fifteen days to rush back to Yedu, Northern Qi. Even if he has to travel for two months, how long will it take to get the antidote and rush back alone?
That's enough.
As the group of people from Donglin Academy walked through the county and passed the government, the local magistrates did not dare to neglect them at all, and paid homage to them one after another, very respectfully. Because if you are not careful in this regard, you may
Being criticized and reviled by all the scholars in the world!
If you don't have a good reputation as an official, even if you are appreciated by the superiors, it is really not worth the gain to be known as a cruel official, a flatterer, disrespectful, etc., because everyone is talking about money, and all the scholars in the world are like this.
If nothing else happens, future history books will also be written by them, which will be infamy for thousands of years and affect future generations!
As for Lin Fengjin, a wanted criminal in the mid-Tang Dynasty, naturally no one would risk the world to catch him, because it is very simple. If Lin Fengjin is to be caught, everyone in the academy will definitely not sit back and watch, and there will be a conflict between the two sides.
.Okay, this person may not be able to catch him, but his reputation is bound to be completely destroyed. What's more, Lin Fengjin's net worth in Xijing has long been divided up, and there is no real benefit to catching him.
, and no one knew the relationship between Li Jian's death and Lin Fengjin, so they all turned a blind eye.
When the Donglin Academy's convoy arrived in Xijing, the sensational effect caused by it even the prime minister of the mid-Tang Dynasty Wen Junzhi could not be ignored. Strictly speaking, although he was a member of the strategist school, he became literate when he was
In the Confucian school, Wang Yangming can be regarded as a junior, so the welcoming ceremony was particularly grand. The prime minister came out to greet him and paraded through the streets, which was even grander than the visit of the country's envoys.
After a series of complicated ceremonies, it was time to go to the Phoenix Tower of the Five Virtues Temple in the city. The other great scholars Zhou Dunyi and others accompanying him were just that. However, Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming came hand in hand. This weight was enough to make Guo Pu break the retreat and come forward in person.
Reception.
It is said that although the Phoenix Tower was built in the chaotic world of Xijing, the capital of this country, after Guo Pu's wonderful arrangements, everyone stayed here for a while and felt that the aura of heaven and earth was exceptionally abundant.
The feeling of coming out of the dust! I couldn't help but secretly thought in my heart, this place is really wonderful, and Wude Academy is ranked first in the world in terms of Feng Shui, and it really deserves its reputation.
At this time, Guo Pu seemed to be the first person in the Yin Yang School. He entertained guests naturally. The scenery in the Phoenix Terrace was so different that it made people feel like they were in a heavenly palace. Guo Pu's next performance was even more impressive.
It feels amazing.
Everyone was still wondering why there were only a few empty plates in front of the banquet, but as soon as the banquet started, Guo Pu asked a child to get a seed, and then buried it in the mud pot, and the seed quickly took root.
It sprouted and finally grew into a simple and curved peach tree. It bloomed and bore fruit, and the big red peaches produced were fragrant. The number of peaches produced was as many as the number of guests present. After eating, it was even more refreshing.
It's as if all the impurities in the body have been eliminated.
