Chapter 839 Famous Teacher, Great Confucianism and Shuzi
After Zhu Ping'an arrived at the main hall, he realized that he was not the only one who was giving lectures today.
There are five ministers waiting in the tea room of the main hall, all of them are famous teachers and Confucian models, with a strong aura.
"Good morning, Mr. Gao..."
Zhu Ping'an only knew Gao Gong among them, so he took the initiative to come forward and greeted Gao Gong enthusiastically.
After all, they all belong to the colleagues of the Imperial Academy.
However, after Zhu Pingan took the initiative to say hello, Gao Gong still sat there motionless, as stable as a straight and towering mountain, but nodded arrogantly, with a hint of surprise and contempt in his eyes.
Zhu Ping'an read his subtext from his eyes: Fuck, why is this idiot also speaking?
Well, that's a high arch.
After greeting Gao Gong, Zhu Ping'an also offered to bow his hands to salute the other four seniors one by one.
Except for a gray-haired old official who talked to Zhu Pingan with a smile, and introduced everyone present for Zhu Pingan, the other three seniors were all aloof, and one of them looked at Zhu Pingan. His eyes are like enemies.
Introduced by the gray-haired old man, Zhu Pingan found out that there was a reason why these people were so cold. Their wrists were much bigger than his own.
Gao Gong needless to say, at the age of seventeen he was the first in the village with the "Book of Rites". Now more than twenty years have passed, and Gao Gong's accomplishments in the Four Books and Five Classics are even better than before, and he is well-known in the dynasty. Now Gao Gong is a lecturer of the Hanlin Academy and the chief lecturer of Prince Yu's Mansion. Today, he came to give lectures to the two princes. Not only is his name justified, but his level is more than sufficient.
The white-haired old official who just smiled and talked to Zhu Ping'an was the Minister of Honglu Temple, a fourth-rank official, Liu Boqing and Master Liu.
Although Mr. Liu's official position is too high, he can be said to be a leading figure in the literary world.
Opposite Gao Gong, the one with a strong sense of confrontation is the chief lecturer of King Jing's Mansion—Zhang Wentian, Mr. Zhang.
King Yu and King Jing are in a competitive relationship, and it is normal for their chief generals to confront each other.
Mrs. Zhang Wentian Zhang is not a few years younger than Liu Boqing. He is also in his early 50s and 60s. He has gray hair, but his hair is combed meticulously. There is no messy hair on his head. Outside the slightly sunken eye sockets , covered with crow's feet, but a pair of black eyes are still as energetic as a falcon.
Master Zhang has a thin body, but he has the temperament of a famous scholar from top to bottom, and even the wrinkles on his face seem to reveal wisdom.
Famous scholars and great scholars.
It's normal to look down on Zhu Ping'an's backwardness, so what Zhu Ping'an sees most is Mr. Zhang's chin.
Under Mr. Zhang is a handsome old man in his forties, with sharp edges and corners, a straight nose, and a short beard. He looks a bit like Wu Xiubo, elegant and handsome. The erudite, romantic, and flawed old handsome guy's expression is full of arrogance and publicity.
This old handsome official is a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial College, Master Yang Guoliang.
The doctor of the Five Classics is from the eighth-rank official position. Logically speaking, Zhu Ping'an is from the fifth-rank, which is much higher than his official position.
But Mr. Yang looked arrogant, as if he had a much higher official position than Zhu Pingan.
When Zhu Ping'an greeted him just now, he always looked like he didn't answer.
Perhaps most talented people have personalities.
Those who can do the Five Classics doctorate in the Imperial College are all well-known figures in the academic circle, and this Lord Yang is no exception, especially in the Five Classics. Many senior officials have asked him for the Five Classics.
The last official, like Mr. Zhang Wentian, is also a Bachelor of Attendance at King Jing’s Mansion. His name is Ma Huating, Mr. Ma. He is in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
But only when facing Zhu Ping'an, there was no smile on his face, and more of a look of being ashamed to be with you.
This Master Ma is also well-known in the academic world, especially in education and writing. His annotations to Zhu Xi's "Four Books Collection" became an important reference book for the imperial examinations of the dynasty, and were also appreciated by Emperor Jiajing. And praise, that's why Master Ma was transferred to King Jing's mansion as King Jing's attendant lecturer.
Zhu Pingan, who was faintly rejected by the crowd, became a little transparent in the tea room, sitting quietly in the corner and pouring himself a cup of tea, laughing at the adults talking and laughing happily.
Just poured himself a cup of tea.
Someone came in again from the pantry.
is King Jing.
Although Zhu Ping'an didn't know him, he could tell from his clothes that he was a prince, but he didn't know whether it was King Yu or King Jing.
"Zaizhen has met all the masters, and troubled you to come to the main hall to give lectures in your busy schedule. Zaizhen is very grateful."
King Jing walked into the tea room, did not go any further, but stood respectfully at the door, bowed and saluted, and said hello to Zhu Pingan and six others sitting in the tea room.
"King Jing's behavior really frustrates me."
In the tea room, Mrs. Liu and the others got up to return the salute one after another, as if they were visited by Uncle Liu three times, their faces were flushed, and they were very excited. A prince who might inherit the throne in the future treated them with such respect and courtesy. How could they not accept such a great gift? Emotional yet.
Zhu Ping'an also stood up to return the salute.
"Teacher Master Tiandi, all of you who come to the main hall to give lectures are Master Zaizhen, so you naturally deserve the gift of Zaizhen. Master Zhang, Master Ma, Master Liu, Master Yang, and Master Gao." King Jing insisted on saluting before smiling slightly. Walking into the tea room, he first said hello to Zhang Wentian and Ma Huating, the two lecturers of King Jing's mansion, and then he said hello to Liu Boqing, Yang Guoliang, and Gao Gong in order of age.
"This is Mr. Zhu Ping'an, Mr. Zhu. Zaizhen has heard of Mr. Zhu's name for a long time. My father has used Mr. Zhu to encourage me and my brother many times. Mr. Zhu is about the same age as Zaizhen and Mr. Zhu. He came from a poor family and studied. The conditions are far inferior to me and Brother Huang, but relying on my own ability all the way, I have already won the first prize in high school at a young age, and now I am a fifth-rank Imperial Academy attendant. I really feel ashamed. I would like to ask Master Zhu to enlighten me today, Zai Zhen Will definitely listen."
King Jing greeted Gao Gong and the others one by one, and then came to Zhu Ping'an.
Zhang Wentian, Ma Huating, and Yang Guoliang on the side, seeing that King Jing looked at Zhu Ping so highly, couldn't help but frown, and their faces darkened. They felt that Zhu Ping's virtue and ability were completely unworthy of being treated like this by King Jing. The eyes are even worse.
"King Jing praised it, and Ping An is ashamed. I don't dare to give advice. Today, I only hope to exchange and learn with King Jing and King Yu."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhu Pingan stood up calmly and bowed in return.
Seeing this, Zhang, Ma, Yang and others looked even more gloomy, and looked at Zhu Pingan even more unkindly. King Jing treats you so courteously, and you are so unappreciative!
You are a kid who relies on youthful words, flattery, opportunism, and is so greedy for money that you don't hesitate to mess with pigs!
Who gave your face!
Zizi!
