Chapter 7 You will regret
The invitation of the city defense soldiers made Pei Minyi stunned. He was in Huairou County and was not well-informed. He still didn't know who the imperial court appointed Xue Na as the governor of Youzhou. After a while, he didn't know who "Governor Xue" was.
The so-called Beijing officials are famous and border officials have power. Especially the border commander in a strategic location like Youzhou, the power in his hands is even greater. It is just because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. When encountering sudden incidents, there is no time to wait for the above instructions. The emperor granted such border commanders the power to act casually, and the position of Youzhou governor is almost equal to the existence of the King of Youzhou.
Pei Min thought that there was no need to offend the boss of Youzhou inexplicably, and might be able to hold his thighs. He would make a name for himself and achieve Pei's mother's wish. He smiled happily: "When I go back to the academy, I put down my luggage and come to visit the governor immediately."
The city defense soldiers smiled and instructed their subordinates to give way, and Pei Min entered the city.
Pei Min went to Yanyun Academy in the east of the city to search for the memory in his mind. At this time, the students in the academy were in class. Except for the faint sound of the teacher interpreting his studies, there was almost no other noise.
Yanyun Academy is run by the Pei family, and all the teachers are provided by the Pei family. Most of the students who study in the college are aristocratic children, and only a small number of students who earn extraordinary income due to their talent. The academy is divided into three colleges, three colleges, the outer colleges are schools, the middle courtyards are rooms for teachers to rest, and a library that treasures a large number of books. The backyard is a kitchen and a student bedroom.
Pei Min went to the backyard lightly and placed all the clothes and books he brought. He planned to go to the Intermediate Court to ask for instructions from the dean, so he went to the appointment of Governor Xue.
Pei Min came to the dean's room outside the academy dean, gently buckled the door, and said, "Dean, the student is back!"
A hearty laughter came from the room!
"Come in!" The three words are vigorous and powerful!
Pei Min pushed the door open and saw an old man over 70 years old and white bearded at his desk, ignoring his arrival.
The old man's surname was Pei Xingben, a figure from the Wu Zetian period. He was appointed as prime minister with Ren Zhigu and Di Renjie during the same period. Later, the three of them impeached the cruel official Lai Junchen at the same time. Under Di Renjie's design, the three of them cleared the charges, but Wu Zetian's methods were so barbaric that even if they cleared the charges, they still demoted Di Renjie to the county magistrate. Pei Xingben was even more miserable because the people of the aristocratic clan were directly exiled to Lingnan. Generally speaking, exiled to Lingnan would be ruined even if they were not dead. Pei Xingben survived tenaciously until Wu Zetian got pardoned and was able to enjoy his old age.
Pei Xingben couldn't live a free time, so he asked for a dean's position in the clan to educate the Pei family's next generation.
Pei Min's grades are among the best in Yanyun Academy, but there are no teachers who don't like students with good grades. Pei Min is also very fond of Pei Xingben for this reason. The two live together in the college, and the teachers and students have a deep friendship.
Pei Min gently covered the door and walked closer. Pei Xingben wrote the excerpt from Xunzi's advice to learn: "If you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't come to a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is; if you don't hear the last words of the previous kings, you don't know how great the knowledge is."
Pei Xingben wrote his name at the end of the post and left a short sentence: Learning endlessly gives Pei Min.
"How?" Pei Xingben put the pen lightly on the pen holder and looked at Pei Min with a smile.
Pei Min praised: "The dean's brushwork is ancient and clever, with square and neat strokes, and cheerful and vigorous structure. It fully reflects the strong spirit of Northern calligraphy. It is good writing. But the students are a little guilty of it."
Pei Xingben wrote regular script, which was divided into two schools. The Northern School is composed of the northern and southern schools. The Northern School has the remains of Han Li, with the ancient and clever brushwork, and the style is simple and square. The Southern School calligraphy is mostly sparse and beautiful, and is good at writing letters. The Northern School calligraphy is strong, and the Southern School calligraphy is full of ideas, and each achieves its own wonders without distinction. Pei Xingben was a native of the Northern School. The true meaning of regular script in the Northern School was to obtain three flavors. Perhaps it is not as good as that of Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang, who are famous all over the world, but they are not much worse. They are extremely rare top-quality.
Pei Xingben was also very satisfied with his copybook and nodded: "Do you know the meaning of this sentence?"
Pei Min said without hesitation: "If you don't climb a mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't face a deep ravine, you don't know how thick the earth is; if you don't understand the teachings of the emperors of the past, you don't know how vast the learning is. It means that there is heaven beyond the sky and there are people beyond the human beings. We should live in the world to get in touch with new things and learn new things to enrich ourselves, that is, learning is endless."
Pei Xingben nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen you these days. Your deeper understanding of ancient meaning has made me admire you. The world is so big that you have to learn too many things, so you must not be trapped in the place. You can be lazy and not learn, but not learning means losing to those who go to learn. I can no longer teach you much, it is time for you to leave." He said with deep meaning, and after a while, he said: "Pei Yu, the manager of the Pei family Youzhou, intends to recommend you to study in Hedong. Hedong is the source of our Pei family, and Jishan School is the best college in the world. The prime ministers of my Pei family in recent years, including me, have all come from this. Studying there can be endless benefits."
Pei Min was worried about how to fulfill Pei's mother's wish. Unexpectedly, the Pei family gave her a shortcut directly. If she really wanted to sleep, someone would send her a pillow. She also felt that everyone in this aristocratic family was indeed not like. However, there were outstanding talents who immediately gave her the best teacher training. No wonder she could flourish for thousands of years and last forever.
"But" Pei Xingben suddenly became a little difficult to speak out when he said this, and hesitated, not like his style at all.
Pei Min looked at Pei Xingben for no reason.
Pei Xingben seemed to hesitate and struggle for a long time before saying, "The clan leader is very happy that the Eastern Family Pei Daozi's vein can produce a hero like you. I hope you can take the time to return to your hometown in Hedong to worship your ancestors. I particularly emphasize that you are the only one."
Pei Min's face changed instantly. He recalled the unbearable memory in his mind. His fists clenched and clattered. If it weren't for the dean he respected in front of him, he would have been unable to bear it. Even so, he would be angry and could not stay for a moment. He deeply admired Pei Xingben: "Students are grateful for the dean's cultivation over the years, and Pei Min will definitely repay him in the future. As for such a Pei family, it's better not to do so!"
He turned around and wanted to leave, but Pei Xingben called him and said, "You don't recognize the Pei family, don't you recognize me as the dean? You don't want this calligraphy?"
Pei Min turned around, took the copybook with both hands, took a deep breath, and bowed, "I dare not refuse if I give it to you."
