Chapter 21: When a Blockbuster Hits


Not all of the more than 10,000 people can be admitted to the Imperial Palace.

There are now more than 70,000 students in Taixue Holy Palace, and it can only accommodate 100,000 people at most.

Therefore, the further back you go, the stricter the requirements for entering Taixue Holy Palace.

Everyone who wants to enter the Taixue Holy Palace needs an interview, and the examiner is the Doctor of the Five Classics.

The Doctor of the Five Classics is not a person, but an official position, held by people who specialize in studying Confucian classics.

There are a hundred examiners in Taixue Holy Mansion each time, so anyone who wants to enter needs to queue up to receive an identity number plate.

Chu Tianshu got the number 9527.

When he saw the number plate, Chu Tianshu was speechless because this number was very famous, but it had no meaning in this world.

Long Ying also got a number plate, but it was already in the tens of thousands.

The interview is very simple.

The examiner just asks some questions about Confucian classics.

As long as you can say ten lines of the Analects and explain them, you can pass.

But when it was Chu Tianshu's turn, it was already afternoon.

Because there were so many people, even a hundred examiners couldn't handle thousands of people at once.

In the afternoon, Chu Tianshu just recalled the ten Analects he had learned in junior high school and explained their meanings.

The examiners were very satisfied with this, because the meaning of the explanation was very standard, so Chu Tian was relieved.

But when it was Long Ying's turn, something went wrong.

"Woman, why do you want to sneak into the Imperial Palace?"

an examiner asked sternly.

In ancient times, due to feudal thinking, women were actually disliked, especially Confucian scholars, because a woman's lack of talent was a virtue, and a woman's task was to bear children as a tool to pass on the family line.

Although Long Ying disguised herself as a man, she was not very clever in her disguise and could be easily seen through.

It was not like on TV in her previous life, where no one could spot the obvious flaws.

Long Ying didn't know how to answer, and looked a little embarrassed.

Gradually, the situation here attracted many people, and Chu Tianshu also came over curiously.

When he saw that the person being questioned was Long Ying, he immediately walked out.

"Sorry, sir, she is my wife," Chu Tianshu said apologetically.

Suddenly Long Ying seemed to have found her backbone and hid behind Chu Tianshu.

Then the examiner's attention focused on Chu Tianshu.

"Did you know that you are not allowed to bring your family members with you when enrolling?

Moreover, you have not officially entered Taixue Holy Mansion.

Confucianism values ​​etiquette.

People like you who do not abide by etiquette will not be paid by Taixue Shengfu.

You can leave," the examiner said coldly.

Hearing this, Chu Tianshu frowned.

His goal was to join the Taixue Holy Mansion and learn more Confucian classics to promote his practice of Mozi's Heart Sutra.

Long Ying also knew Chu Tianshu's purpose and immediately became very anxious.

She was very upset because her appearance made it impossible for Chu Tianshu to achieve his purpose.

Chu Tianshu saw Long Ying's expression and immediately comforted him: "It's okay.

I'm lucky to get it.

Don't worry about losing my life."

"But, it's all because of me.

If I hadn't followed you, you wouldn't have been disqualified," Long Ying said.

"Forget it, let's go.

Confucian classics are not the only place you can learn them."

After saying that, he pulled Long Ying and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a voice came out.

"Little brother, stay here" Soon, a middle-aged man with a goatee walked out of the crowd.

When the examiner saw this person, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Meet the Palace Master" Other candidates also bowed to pay their respects.

Chu Tianshu did not, but stood upright.

The person who came was none other than Gongsun Hong, who looked about forty years old, but was actually over a decade old.

"What's the matter?"

Chu Tianshu asked calmly.

Gongsun Hong looked at Chu Tianshu with a smile on his face.

"What I gain is my fortune, but what I lose is my life.

Little brother said it very well.

This is the first time I have heard this sentence.

I don't know where it comes from," Gongsun Hong said.

Hearing this, Chu Tianshu felt nothing in his heart.

This sentence came from a very famous sentence in a modern poem by the modern poet Xu Zhimo more than a thousand years later.

Then Chu Tianshu said: "What's the point of saying something out of your feelings?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Hong looked at Chu Tianshu with even more admiration.

"Yes, you have a calm mind and don't let external things affect your state of mind.

Are you willing to join me?"

Gongsun Hong said.

Suddenly, everyone around him was very surprised, and at the same time they envied Chu Tianshu's opportunities.

Even if they enter the Taixue Holy Palace, they cannot become Gongsun Hong's disciples.

At best, they can only be students, and the things they can learn are very limited.

Chu Tianshu was still surprised when he heard Gongsun Hong's words.

He had never thought of worshiping Gongsun Hong as his teacher.

He only wanted to quietly enter Taixue Holy Mansion to study Confucian classics, and then practice silently.

As long as he achieved a breakthrough The shackles of oneself can float away.

It's a pity that the development of the situation has gone a bit wrong.

In fact, the reason why Gongsun Hong wanted to accept Chu Tianshu as his disciple was all because of the Confucian literary atmosphere that Chu Tianshu exuded.

Because it was very messy, as if he was from a wild family, this made Gongsun Hong think of himself back then.

There was no teacher to look up to, so I had to explore on my own, so I also experienced such a period.

It was not until later that the chaotic literary style became its own, not weaker than the authentic Confucianism, and it achieved today's achievements.

In fact, Chu Tianshu's current state is just because Mozi's Qi has not been completely transformed, so his Qi is not very stable and appears messy.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Chu Tianshu's mind, and then he bowed his hands and greeted him respectfully: "Disciple Chu Tianshu has met the teacher" Hearing this, Gongsun Hong stroked his beard and said with a happy smile:

"It's very good that I, Gongsun Hong, have never accepted a disciple in my life.

Chu Tianshu, you are my Gongsun Hong's first disciple."

At this point, Gongsun Hong said again: "Have you ever had words?"

So Chu Tianshu replied: "This disciple is fourteen this year and has not yet reached the championship."

Hearing this, Gongsun Hong felt even happier.

"Okay, okay," he said three good words in a row, and then said: "Tian Shu, the world is vast, so I will give you a word so that you can save yourself trouble when you are old enough."

After thinking for a while, he said: "I will teach you how to be generous later."

"Thank you very much, teacher" Chu Tianshu thanked him.

"Okay, Kuo Zhi, come with me as your master."

After saying that, he walked towards the main hall of Taixue Holy Mansion.

Chu Tianshu took Long Ying and followed him.

The candidates behind him were envious and jealous, and then they sighed, why they couldn't speak classic words.

Otherwise, he could be favored by the master of Taixue Holy Palace and be accepted as a disciple.

The person involved is no longer present, but the assessment is still ongoing.

Half of them have been eliminated in the primary election, and the remaining ones still need to go through several tests.

In the end, less than a thousand people will be left.

But none of this has anything to do with Chu Tianshu, because Chu Tianshu has already reached the end of the road and is ahead of them.

In ancient times, people could only call each other by words if they had a good relationship with each other.

If they didn't have a good relationship, they would call each other by their first names.

It can be seen that Chu Tianshu is highly valued by Gongsun Hong.

Entering the main hall, Gongsun Hong was already sitting in the first place.

"Sit down," Gongsun Hong said.

So Chu Tianshu took Long Ying and sat on the next seat.

"Kuozhi, when my master asks you, you must answer truthfully," Gongsun Hong asked.

Although Chu Tianshu was confused as to why Gongsun Hong said this, he still nodded and said: "Disciple understands, I don't know what the teacher wants to ask."

"How long have you been trying to learn literature by yourself?"

Gongsun Hong said.

After thinking about it, Chu Tianshu said: “Less than two years”

Hearing this, Gongsun Hong showed an expression of surprise.

"You are worthy of such great talent and beauty.

I never thought that I, Gongsun Hong, could have this disciple to pass on my mantle.

God has mercy on me."

Gongsun Hong was very excited.

The cultivation of Confucian literary spirit requires familiarity with Confucian classics and the accumulation of literary spirit.

Therefore, Confucian scholars are all late bloomers, especially those born in Yeluzi, Gongsun Hong is the representative.

And Chu Tianshu, a wild man, now has the foundation of Confucianism, and he is still very young.

What is the concept of fourteen years old?

He has reached this level in less than two years.

Others want to cultivate Confucianism.

Literary spirit cannot be achieved without ten years.

Gongsun Hong's abilities all evolved from Ye Luzi.

There is no way an authentic descendant of Confucianism can inherit his mantle.

Even people who were born in Ye Luzi may not be able to accept it because of their natural talent.

Chu Tianshu received Confucian influence for a short period of time, and he had already cultivated Confucian culture, so that he could better absorb Gongsun Hong's Confucianism.

Then Gongsun Hong took out a roll of bamboo slips and said: "The literary spirit that I have cultivated for my teacher is all based on my own understanding and creation.

Although it is not as good as the twelve chapters of the Spring and Autumn Period of the authentic Confucian practice, it is worse than the twelve chapters of the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is better than being tolerant of thousands of schools and does not conflict with other mental methods.

This is the Gongsun Ten Volumes of the Kung Fu created by my teacher." , when you have completed your understanding, my teacher will pass you the next volume."

So Chu Tianshu came to Gongsun Hong respectfully and took the first volume of Gongsun's ten volumes.

Seeing Chu Tianshu take over the technique he created, Gongsun Hong felt relieved.

Every successful person does not want his inheritance to be cut off.

Chu Tianshu did not look through it immediately, but put it in his arms.

"Thank you for teaching me, teacher," Chu Tianshu said with a bow.

Gongsun Hong was very satisfied with Chu Tianshu's attitude, and then said: "Kuozhi, the concept of being a teacher is harmony.

Therefore, when practicing, forget the authentic Confucian benevolence and righteousness.

Otherwise, you will gain nothing from being a teacher."

"Disciple understands" Chu Tianshu said, while keeping Gongsun Hong's advice in mind.

Besides, Chu Tianshu is not very interested in Confucian classics.

Confucianism mainly talks about the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, which requires that everything should abide by the rules and be respectful and observant of etiquette.

Therefore, it can gradually obliterate a person's creativity, make people's broad-minded thinking more subtle, and become pedantic.

"The first volume contains my teacher's experience.

You can understand it on your own.

As much as you can understand, my teacher will pass on as many volumes to you.

Otherwise, if you bite off more than you can chew, it will become a burden and you will not be able to make any progress in this life."

Gongsun Hong continued said.

Chu Tianshu nodded.

Long Ying sat respectfully, because in this environment, she had nothing to say.

"Kuo Zhi can have a place to live.

There is still room for vacancies in the Taixue Holy Mansion.

As my disciple, I will ask someone to take you to pick a place later.

From now on, Kuo Zhi and Ling Yukun will live here.

"Yeah," Gongsun Hong said.

Chu Tianshu said immediately: "Teacher, this disciple has already bought a house outside Chang'an City.

There are servants taking care of the house, so there is no need to trouble the teacher."

Gongsun Hong waved his hand and said: "That's alright, but Kuo Zhi still has to choose a place.

Maybe he will live in Taixue Holy Mansion in the future."

"The disciple thanked the teacher," Chu Tianshu said.

"Okay, Kuo Zhi, you go back and make arrangements at home first, and report to Taixue Holy Mansion in three days," Gongsun Hong said.

"Then disciple, please leave."

After saying this, he bowed and left with Long Ying.

Looking at Chu Tianshu's back, Gongsun Hong murmured: "I hope Kuo Zhi won't disappoint me.

My time is running out.

In twenty years at most, my end is coming."

After saying this, Gongsun Hong sighed.
