Sang Pan walked out of the palace quickly with excitement on his face.
When the three disciples waiting in front of the palace gate saw the other person, they hurriedly greeted him, bowed to Sang Pan, and then asked:
"Sir, what's wrong?"
The expression of excitement and joy on Sang Pan's face did not change. He pulled the three of them and said:
"Let's go back and talk!"
The three disciples quickly surrounded him and headed towards the temporary landing place the three of them had found.
Seeing the undisguised excitement on Sang Pan's face, the three disciples felt itchy. But even if Shi Chengwen, who was most valued by Sang Pan among the three, asked, Sang Pan ignored him.
It wasn't until the four of them returned to their temporary rented house and closed the door completely that Sang Pan's expression suddenly turned aside and became a little solemn.
He glanced at the three disciples and then slowly said:
"The Emperor of Yun State wants to open a 'Jixia Academy' so that students from hundreds of schools in the world can express their ideas to their heart's content and discuss state affairs in a commoner's body, regardless of status, official position, nationality, or age. If his remarks are
If it is beneficial to the country, he will not hesitate to be rewarded by official positions."
When the three disciples heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all said in surprise:
"Sir, is this true? If so, this is really the time for our students to show off their talents!"
"Is this Emperor of Yun State really so wise?"
The two disciples who spoke were not excited because of the coming era of a hundred schools of thought contending and great strife. In their view, the role of Jixia Academy was to allow them to praise and criticize current affairs in their commoner bodies.
As soon as his words came out, the world was shocked, and the government and the public paid attention. The emperor of a country gave him a high-ranking official, a marquis, and treated him with courtesy. From then on, he entered the court, helped the country, and displayed his ambitions.
Scholars have had this kind of dream for hundreds of thousands of years!
Shi Chengwen, who was on the side, could not suppress the joy in his heart. At this time, he noticed Sang Pan's slightly solemn expression. His heart sank and he said in confusion:
"Sir, if it's such a good thing, why do you look so weird?"
He looked so excited along the way, why did he become so solemn when he closed the door?
As soon as Shi Chengwen reminded him, the other two disciples suddenly realized that his mood seemed a little strange, and they looked at Sang Pan with some confusion.
Hearing this, Sang Pan smiled bitterly and said:
"You also know what your uncle Wang Xiao did in the Yun Kingdom before. I'm not sure about the temper of the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom. What if he appears to be very ambitious to the outside world, but is actually petty? So...
, in front of him, I can only cooperate with him, whatever he says is what he says!"
He Sangpan is one of the few inner disciples of the Yin Yang family who often travels outside, and he has rich experience.
Even though he was really moved by the scene Xiao Cheng described, he was not like a young boy who was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
The reason why he looked so excited was to perform the look that Xiao Cheng expected, so as to protect himself as much as possible.
Shi Chengwen was stunned for a moment, and the image of Xiao Cheng's invincible and unparalleled pride on the battlefield appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable in his heart, and couldn't help but argue in a low voice:
"Sir, why do you think so badly of Emperor Yun..."
Sang Pan waved his hand, coughed slightly, and said:
"I've traveled around the world and haven't seen anything before? It's better to be careful!"
Well, in fact, the reason why Sang Pan was so cautious was because he had deliberately shown off before, but was exposed by Jin Shengyuan of the Za family. He was inevitably worried, so he was so careful.
Chang Sinian, a descendant of the Yin Yang family, was silent for a moment, and then he couldn't help but say:
"Sir, that's it. This Jixia Academy is of great benefit to hundreds of students like us. But sir, why do you look like this?"
Sang Pan's face darkened slightly and he sighed softly:
"Jixia! Jixia! Shejixia. The emperor of the Yun Kingdom, with his power plans, scheming, martial arts and military strategies, are all talented people. From the name of this academy, we can see that he transformed hundreds of scholars.
The strength of the family is for one's own use, and the ambition is to aim at the world."
The word Sheji has evolved and has now become a nickname for the king.
Jixia, in Sang Pan's opinion, doesn't mean that Xiao Chengyu wants to be superior to hundreds of schools of thought?
Of course, this is actually a misunderstanding.
The name Jixia Academy comes from the fact that there is a city gate in Qi State called Jimen. The name refers to the fact that the academy is located next to Jimen. It is nothing more than that and has no deep meaning.
Several disciples were even more puzzled when they heard this.
In their view, the reason why they studied under hundreds of schools was not to serve the Ming Dynasty but to show their talents. They were meant to be used by the king, so why should they worry about the name of the academy?
Seeing that the three of them were puzzled, Sang Pan explained:
"Such a talented and strategic king will never allow one family in the country to dominate. The reason why the sect sent me and others here is to plan ahead in the Yun Kingdom and be one step ahead of the other hundreds of families. But now it seems that if it is my Yin Yang family,
If you are too powerful than other schools of thought, you will definitely be suppressed by Emperor Yun. This is a useless effort..."
Having said this, Sang Pan paused, with a bitter look on his face, and said:
"Also, I am a member of the Xia Kingdom, with a decent background, and my mother is a member of the Xia Kingdom's clan!"
When the three of them heard this, they first looked surprised, then immediately reacted, calmed down their expressions, and lowered their heads slightly.
Although the Yun Kingdom is located in the southern part of the world, it was founded according to the Central Plains system and its royal family is also of Central Plains blood.
When Taizu of the Xia Kingdom was defeated in the southern expedition, in order to stabilize the border, he also made an alliance with the Yun Kingdom and recognized each other's emperorship. It was one of the only countries in the world where the king could openly and honestly proclaim himself emperor.
Therefore, many people do not have much psychological burden about joining the Yun Kingdom.
But I couldn't stand it. Sang Pan's mother was from the Xia Kingdom's clan, so he couldn't be like an ordinary Xia citizen and surrender to the Yun Kingdom without any burden.
Sang Pan stood up, let out a long sigh, and said worriedly:
"Now in the Xia Kingdom's court, Emperor Xia only seeks the balance of power and secretly instigates officials from various families to attack each other. And these officials have their own backgrounds, either from the Jiangnan noble family or from the generals of the four realms. The relationship between them is intricate, causing
The chaos in the court is abnormal. Such a comparison between the two kings, how can it not make me worry about my mother country? Alas..."
The three disciples looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort themselves.
-----------------------
In the Yangxin Hall, Feng Bao bowed and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. I always feel that there is something wrong with this Sangpan..."
Xiao Cheng paused, looked up at Feng Bao, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Feng Bao said quickly:
"According to the information obtained by Dongchang, this person has traveled around the world for many years and has rich experience. He rarely suffers losses. But his behavior today seems a bit...well, a bit like a young boy."
Xiao Cheng recalled Sang Pan's expression and behavior today, and he was indeed a little too happy.
He pondered for a moment, nodded and said:
"That makes sense! No wonder I had the feeling before that he would collapse before I even used my strength. I thought that he would at least hesitate for a moment about Jixia Academy, but he nodded and agreed without thinking."
Feng Bao said quickly:
"Slave, please send someone to check!"
Xiao Cheng's eyes moved, and he took out the information about Sang Pan handed over by Dongchang from the desk, read it again, and then said:
"You can send someone to check, but don't be too hasty! This person is cautious and tactful. It's probably because of Wang Xiao's incident that he is a little worried about me, so he deliberately acted like this."
Having said this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but sneered, shook his head and said:
"This person is used to traveling in the world, and he always likes to use some clever tricks. The Yin and Yang family sent people to contact me, why did they choose such a person to come? Are they not afraid of self-defeating?"
When Feng Bao heard this, he used every opportunity to flatter him and complimented him:
"Perhaps even the Yin Yang family never expected that His Majesty has such a keen eye and is able to see through everything, making Sang Pan's little thoughts invisible."
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng raised his finger and pointed at Feng Bao, laughed twice, then shook his head and said:
"Okay, is there any news about the three things I asked you to pay attention to before?"
Feng Bao quickly bowed and said:
"The Buddhist side has made a decision to select masters from various temples. A total of 137 monks with sixth-level cultivation and above, led by Hui Qi, the abbot of Taning Temple, came to the capital to investigate Ganye Temple.
Conspiracy."
Feng Bao didn't wait for Xiao Cheng to ask questions and said quickly:
"Taning Temple is located in Weichu Prefecture. It is the only Ganye Temple in the country. There are more than 3,000 monks in the temple, including many masters. Abbot Huiqi's prestige among Buddhists is not low. Three years ago, he broke through nine
I closed the gate of death, and I just came out of it more than a month ago."
Xiao Cheng frowned and said:
"Coming out of seclusion at this time means you have achieved a breakthrough? How come it's such a coincidence!"
Feng Bao also smiled bitterly and said:
"The people in Dongchang have found out the news. There was no hope for Hui Qi to break through, and his vitality was gradually cut off. But a few months ago, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart and broke through directly! The Buddhist disciples are spreading the news that he is the Buddha.
I couldn't bear to see the believers suffer heavy losses, so I took action to enlighten them."
This co-author, the monk, also knows how to use public opinion to arouse the sentiments of Buddhist disciples!
Xiao Cheng shook his head and said dissatisfied:
"Huiqi? How unlucky!"
He is not afraid of a ninth-level master who has just broken through. What troubles him is that Buddhism once again looks like a rope because of Hui Qi.
At this time, Feng Bao quickly said:
"There is a good thing. Dongchang found a small temple in Ruigu County on the western border of Yun Kingdom, called Shiyuan Temple. The monks here strictly abide by the rules and do not accept sacrifices. They work hard to cultivate themselves.
Claim.”
"Shiyuan Temple?"
"Yes, it is said that the monks here were founded by the first batch of Buddhist monks who came to my country in Yun. Therefore, I prefer the original Buddhist precepts."
Xiao Cheng nodded and said:
"From now on, it will no longer be Shiyuan Temple, but Shiyuan Sect. I will send someone to bring them here, and I will do some work within Buddhism!"
"yes!"
"What's wrong with the person you're looking for?" Xiao Cheng asked again.
"We have found it. The doctor named Qin He is already in the capital at this time! But Ji Su refused the servant because the patient in her hand has not recovered yet and it is difficult to move."
Ji Su was also known as Bian Que, a famous doctor in later generations.
Xiao Cheng's eyes shifted to the golden finger panel, and he felt slightly relieved when he saw that his loyalty value had not changed much.
If this person had any strange thoughts, Xiao Cheng didn't know whether he should be cruel or not.
"Deploy extra manpower to guard him, and don't let him have any accidents. When he is willing to come to see me, let him come over!"
