This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 86 There are several ways to write the word fennel for fennel beans

The current academic style is not upright. For example, in great universities such as the Imperial College, Neo-Confucian students should flock there and be crowded.

Not really.

There are only twenty or thirty students in the Imperial College on weekdays, and there are more teachers than students.

Only when the tribute ceremony is about to take place, the Imperial College will be bustling.

"Those students who want to participate in the tribute examination will come to the Imperial College to make up for their mistakes." Wen Yanbo said sarcastically, showing great disdain for those students who were cramming for their time.

The next day, Su Cheng reported his idea to the Imperial Academy's Jiu Ma Shuo and Si Ye Chen Ding.

"Marquis Dingyuan?" Ma Shuo was moved. "It is said that officials also study with him. If this person can come to the Imperial College..."

Chen Ding said: "There will definitely be many more students on weekdays, and there will no longer be the miserable situation of just a few kittens and puppies."

"Yes!" Ma Shuo scratched his head, "But this person is quite unruly. He even dared to scold Wang Qinruo, the Queen Mother's favorite, if he makes trouble in the Imperial College..."

Chen Ding smiled and said: "This is the Imperial College, a place where learning is taught. Who would scold whom? It's all about learning! If you feel it's wrong, just refute it."

"That's the truth." Ma Shuo stood up, "In this case, I can show respect by going there in person."

When Ma Shuo arrived at Li's house, the house was being cleaned, and Li Xian was teaching two students under the tree.

The floor was covered with mats, and people were kneeling and sitting behind the desk. The three of them sat upright.The autumn wind blew by, rustling the branches and leaves, and Ma Shuo couldn't help but praise: "What a painting of a disciple."

After the two sides exchanged a few words, Ma Shuo explained his intention.

"Guozijian?"

After Su Cheng said it yesterday, Li Xian was a little moved, but he wanted to find out the situation in the Imperial College first.Unexpectedly, the old-fashioned man was very efficient, so he persuaded Ma Shuo to invite him out the next day.

"Of course I don't dare to ask the Marquis to serve in the Imperial College. It's just a temporary post. It's not noble to be a post."

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "Well, wait for two days and then I will go to the Imperial College."

"I'm looking forward to it!" Ma Shuo thought he had caught a golden doll, and happily went back and said to Chen Ding, "For such a noble thing, Marquis Dingyuan will definitely come!"

What he didn't know was that Li Xian didn't care about noble positions at all. What he cared about was his own voice and whether his knowledge could be spread through the Imperial College.

It was inappropriate to ask Zhao Zhen about this matter. Li Xian thought about it for a while and seemed a little uncomfortable asking Su Cheng.

"Marquis Dingyuan."

Liu Congde appeared like a ground mouse, "It just so happens that I have a few friends who want to meet you and have a drink with you?"

How could Li Xian be interested in this? He thought about Liu Congde's wide acquaintances and asked, "Do you know anything about the Imperial College?"

"Imperial College?" Liu Congde said disdainfully: "It's just a temporary place to stay. There are not many students on weekdays. But there is an advantage. You can make a name for yourself after entering."

"Is the Imperial College paranoid about learning...?"

If he is paranoid, it will be difficult for him to impart his knowledge, and he will be boycotted or even expelled.

"Paranoid ass!" Liu Congde sniffed, "It's just a place for retirement. Think about it, the tribute examination is held every two or three years, and each time there are more people in the Imperial College during those few months. On weekdays, a few students squat How embarrassing is it there, sir? How uncomfortable is it to take classes facing the void? Who among those talented people is willing to go? Hey! Marquis Dingyuan, you don’t want to go, right?"

clever!

Li Xian felt that the Imperial College was indeed a good place for him to start a business.

But he needs to report first.

"Going to the Imperial College to teach?" The Queen Mother looked at him suspiciously, "When did you become so diligent?"

Li Xian argued as if he was humiliated, "I have always been very diligent."

The Queen Mother sneered, "The Imperial Academy is crowded, what are you doing there?"

"I dreamed of my late father last night. My late father said that if you achieve great things and benefit the world, this is the tradition of my old Li family. I dare not disobey my father's orders..."

The Queen Mother seemed to be watching a little fox fooling her, but when she thought about it carefully, the Imperial College had become more and more outrageous in recent years. Some ministers suggested that it should be disbanded directly, and at least a lot of money and food could be saved every year.

It's not like she hasn't thought about revitalizing the Imperial Academy, but after changing the sacrificial wine several times, there is still no improvement.
Thinking of Li Xian's unruly and domineering style, if he went to the ancient place of the Imperial College, there was no way he could break the deadlock.

"What do you want to teach?" the Queen Mother asked calmly.

"What I taught you was some family knowledge, not worth mentioning." Li Xian knew that he needed to keep a low profile at this moment.

"Just go ahead!"

The Queen Mother angrily gave Mr. Li the official title of Doctor of the Imperial College, which was so noble... that he could not go there.It is a temporary position with no specific duties.

Watching Li Xian go out, the Queen Mother smiled, "I am very much looking forward to it!"

Luo Chongxun muttered, "Why do we think the Imperial College is going to be in trouble?"

"Yeah!" The Queen Mother looked over.

Luo Chongxun apologized and said, "I am saying that if Marquis Dingyuan goes to the Imperial College, the Imperial College will definitely be able to revive and become a place for the dynasty to cultivate talents."

Before Li Xian left the palace, good news came from Zhao Zhen.

"That Doctor Wang is back."

Zhao Zhen asked curiously: "Do you want to go to the Imperial College?"

"Idle time is idle." Li Xian said calmly: "You have to find something to do for yourself. Kuanfu told me that if only I and I can acquire all the knowledge, it will be a great sin for the disciples."

Ha ha!

Zhao Zhen felt something was wrong. Wen Kuanfu was generous, but in terms of knowledge, he was not a selfless person.

"It's a stale place."

While he was talking, Doctor Wang came and looked convincing with his grey-white beard and kind eyes.

"I am good at diagnosing and treating heart disease. I dare to ask, but is the Marquis suffering from an illness?" Medical Officer Wang asked.

Li Xian said: "It's a little girl, she's in trouble."

Immediately, he took Doctor Wang to Su's house.Everyone in the Su family had guessed who Li Xian would invite, but unexpectedly it was the famous Medical Officer Wang.

This person is an authority on the heart, and the whole family is grateful.

"Brother Guoan, I'm a little scared." Su Ho held Li Xian's sleeve.

"What are you afraid of?" Li Xian smiled.

"I'm afraid that he will say that I will die." Su Ho said seriously: "If I die, my parents, eldest brother and sister will be sad."

Li Xian touched the top of her head and said, "Don't worry."

After hearing and asking about it, Medical Officer Wang asked for the prescriptions for diagnosis and treatment in the past, pondered over them carefully for a long time, and then winked at Li Xian.

"I have to go out and murmur again." Su Ho leaned on his mother's arms and yawned.

When the two of them went out, Medical Officer Wang lowered his voice and spoke a long list of terms that made Li Xianyun's mountain foggy.Seeing that he was confused, Medical Officer Wang smiled and said, "I'd like to put it simply. This little lady's problem was brought from her mother's womb. This disease cannot be cured, and the only way is to maintain it...Does the Marquis understand?"

"Understood." Li Xian determined the cause of the disease and was very sorry.Unless surgery is possible for congenital defects in the heart, medicine and stones cannot correct the defects and will not help.

He asked: "Will it harm longevity?"

Medical Officer Wang hesitated for a moment, then Li Xian said, "That girl is just like my sister."

Doctor Wang then sighed and said, "To be honest, I have seen people suffering from such problems at a young age, and I have also seen people who have lived their whole life without any problems. When it comes to lifespan...unless the gods come down to earth, anyone who says it is nonsense."

Also!

Li Xian felt that caring would cause chaos, so he sent Medical Officer Wang out.

Doctor Wang got on his horse, only to find that there was a small baggage on the horse's back. He opened it and found a medical book inside. It was a rare and out-of-print book.

"Marquis Dingyuan is a very particular person!"

Li Xian informed Su Wei of the result, went in and patted Su He on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't run around like crazy in the future. However, don't just rest. You need to move around more. Can you know Baduanjin?"

Su Ho shook his head and Li Xian said, "I'll teach you later."

Su Wei sent him out and asked, "Did the medical officer ever say why He'er fainted or turned pale from time to time and felt weak all over?"

This Li Xian was able to say something, "The biggest problem with heart disease is poor blood vessels. If the blood vessels are poor, the blood flow will naturally be slow. Slow blood flow will lead to..."

How do you say hypoxia?
Li Xian thought for a while, "It means that the blood brings less things to nourish the body and brain. Once there is less, people will easily faint. By the way, He'er fainted because of running crazy?"

Su Wei nodded, her eyes lit up, "Yes."

"That's it." Li Xian, the two-swordsman, felt that he had found the reason. "People will feel dizzy if they are short of blood. If there is too much blood loss, they will be comatose. This is the body's self-protection."

In this way, the follow-up will be easier.

Su Cheng went home and was filled with emotion after hearing this.

"Don't make any noise in the future!" He said with a straight face.

"Don't go out!" The mother added another blow.

"Stop crying!" The eldest brother said with a straight face.

Su Ho looked at his sister.

Su Wei touched the top of her head. She seemed cold, but her voice was gentle, "Listen more to the Dingyuan Marquis."

Su Ho nodded vigorously, "Yes! Sister is right!"

On the second day, Li Xian arrived at the Imperial College early in the morning.

"Doctor of the Imperial College?" Ma Shuo smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis."

The Queen Mother's handiwork was not small. It reminded Ma Shuo of the last time when a certain relative wanted to have a post in the Imperial College for him, so as to honor his ancestors. The Queen Mother calmly gave him an assistant position in the Imperial College, and the shameful relative never took the post again. The gate of the Imperial College.

Immediately, Ma Shuo asked people to take Li Xian around the Imperial Academy.

The little official who led the way was very clever, and his ability to observe words and emotions made Li Xian feel good.

But this shows the decadence of the Imperial College.

"Registration for the Imperial College will begin tomorrow, and many people will come. If the Marquis is not in a hurry, you can choose slowly." The clerk pointed to the front, "That's where the arguments will be."

Two groups of students were arguing there, and Li Xian listened for a while, arguing about the various methods of governing the country.

Legalists, Confucians, politicians... there are all kinds of people.

Li Xian listened with great interest. From it, he could tell that the current academic atmosphere in the Imperial College was very unbearable.

There are several ways to govern a country. Why should we discuss such lofty and far-reaching issues during the tribute ceremony?Students should be more meticulous, study in a down-to-earth manner, and then look back on this issue when they have enough experience.

It was just a discussion, but it actually elevated Confucianism and belittled other doctrines.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty probably would not have thought that the gimmick he used to consolidate his rule: to only respect Confucianism would be turned into truth by later generations.

A student insisted on defending Legalism, but was unable to defeat the four-handed student with two fists. He pointed at Li Xian with a red face and said, "There is a new student here. Let's listen to his opinion."

This is to shift blame and divert attention.

A student leaning in the pavilion sneered: "Classmate, do you know how many ways to govern a country?"

"I don't know about this, but I want to ask you for advice." Li Xian walked in.

"Say." The student folded his arms and said reservedly.

Li Xian asked: "Do you know how many ways to write the word fennel for fennel beans?"
