Chapter 201: Princes and Nobles Gather in Qingzhou City
As the incident in Hengzhou City gradually unfolded, Confucianism and Taoism, a brand new system of practice, became famous far and wide.
It caused a huge sensation and repercussions throughout the Great Yan Dynasty.
It also began to spread to neighboring countries through the mouths of literati, business travelers and people in the world.
This practice can be practiced through reading and writing, and allows readers to gain extraordinary power.
It is indeed both incredible and exciting.
You know, for ordinary people, cultivators are too far away and the threshold is too high to reach.
It is simply not a path of cultivation that ordinary people can access.
Although martial arts on the surface says that everyone can practice martial arts.
But the threshold for true martial arts practice is also not low.
You can't help but need talent and basic qualifications.
It also requires huge resource consumption to support.
Otherwise, in the end, you will just be a stronger martial artist, which is meaningless.
As long as you don't practice blood energy, there is actually not much difference from ordinary people.
In terms of social status, it is also difficult to make huge changes.
The most important thing is that both martial arts practice and spiritual cultivation have actually formed a certain state of class solidification.
Ordinary people have less and less chance to get ahead.
Martial arts families and sect families almost monopolize the resources for martial arts practice and monopolize the path of advancement for warriors.
Unless God favors you and gives you evil talents and huge opportunities.
Otherwise, even if you develop your strength, you will just be used as cannon fodder for wealthy families and a stepping stone for others.
Therefore, in comparison, studying is the easiest and has the largest audience.
Although the traditional path of studying to change one's destiny is more difficult than practicing martial arts to change one's destiny.
But Confucianism and Taoism practice is a completely new track.
Knowledge is not only used to govern the country, but can also be used to kill enemies in battle and eliminate demons to defend the country.
Even if you can't enter the officialdom, you can still make your way through this extraordinary skill.
Therefore, for many people, Confucianism and Taoism practice seem to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change their destiny.
Especially those literati who really like reading and are not willing to be mediocre.
Confucianism and Taoism practice seemed to have opened up a Yangguan Avenue for them, opening up an oasis.
Naturally, they had no hesitation and wanted to seize this opportunity.
at all costs.
Therefore, as the practice of Confucianism and Taoism spread in the Great Yan Dynasty, the hearts of countless literati and scholars were ignited with raging flames.
They traveled thousands of miles and rushed towards Hengzhou City and Qingzhou City, hoping to study and become Confucian and Taoist practitioners.
The mountain chiefs and masters of other major academies in the Dayan Dynasty also set out for Hengzhou City.
Most of these people knew Du Shaoling, and many of them knew Su Che.
After all, Du Shaoling not only held a high position, but was also a very famous literary figure in the Dayan Dynasty.
His poems also influenced a generation, and many of the books he wrote are also required courses for current students.
Therefore, these people all hope to use this relationship to see if they can obtain the qualifications to open a Confucian and Taoist college.
Not only that, a group of princes and nobles also went to Hengzhou City and Qingzhou City.
There seemed to be a migration in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
However, at this time, Wei Yi, who was writing skills at home, was interrupted by his second uncle and second aunt.
The two said they wanted to talk to him about some things, but the second aunt was hesitant and the second uncle was hesitant.
He hesitated to speak, rambling here and there, as if he had something to hide.
It wasn't until Wei Yi guessed what they were thinking through their words that he spoke out bluntly.
It turned out that they wanted to discuss marriage with Wei Yi. They had told Wei Yi about their marriage to Meng Shuilian before.
At that time, because Wei Tieshan was still in the military camp and could only take leave during the Spring Festival, the wedding was initially planned to be held during the Spring Festival.
Later, Wei Tieshan became free and made some adjustments to the wedding date.
Mainly because the Meng family wanted to choose a better day to hold the wedding with the two of them.
In this era, children's marriages are basically arranged and finalized by the parents of both parties.
Therefore, Wei Yi did not get too involved before and left it entirely to his uncles and aunts to help handle the matter. After all, his purpose was to marry Meng Shuilian, and he did not get married for the sake of getting married.
In addition, many things happened one after another during this period, and he had no time to think about these things.
But for the second uncle and second aunt, what happened during this period was also an earth-shaking change.
As uncles and aunts, they all felt as if they almost no longer recognized their nephew, and even felt a little nervous talking in front of him.
So they were also worried that Wei Yi might look down on Meng Shuilian and not want to marry him.
So I came to ask for his opinion.
Although they really hope that Wei Yi and Meng Shuilian will eventually get married.
Seeing the looks of Wei Tieshan and Wei Xue, Wei Yi said sincerely: "Second uncle and second aunt, no matter who I am in the eyes of outsiders or what status I have, in this family and in front of you, I will always be Wei Yi is your nephew and has never changed. In my heart, Shui Lian has long been my fiancée. This is a fact that will never change, let alone because my identity and abilities change.
But it is true that too many things happened during this period, which made me unable to do anything, so I neglected Shui Lian and neglected the wedding. This is my fault!" In Wei Yi's heart, he never felt that he had extraordinary things now
. Strength is superior to others.
He will never forget that Meng Shuilian shared weal and woe with him and walked through the most ordinary times together.
In Wei Yi's heart, Meng Shuilian will always have a position that other women cannot replace.
But sometimes people just can’t help themselves, and the tide of the times will push you forward.
Ordinary people think that the greatest happiness is having a wife and children who live together day and night.
But they don’t know that they can enjoy a stable life because those “tall men” are holding them up when the sky falls.
If it weren’t for my hard work during this period of time, I would have fought hard.
How could Qingzhou City be as peaceful as it is now?
How can there be peace in Hengzhou City?
There is no way of knowing what the world will become in the future.
Without the stability and peace of the country, how can the warmth of a small family come about?
As the saying goes, there are no quiet years, it's just that some people carry forward with heavy burdens.
So if I don’t work hard to change the world and protect the stability of Qingzhou City,
All love and love are empty talk.
He believed Meng Shuilian could understand.
"Okay, okay! With your words, the second uncle and the second aunt are relieved. After we talked with the Meng family, we feel that the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day, and your wedding to Shuilian will be on that day. What do you think? ?" Wei Xue said with a smile.
"Of course it's no problem, I'll listen to you!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
In the evening, Wei Yi cooked a table of food himself and called all his family members back.
He also called Meng Shuilian over from the restaurant and had dinner together.
Wei Yi has been busy recently and hasn't had a good dinner with his family for a long time. Wei Yi and Shitou also had a few drinks with Wei Tieshan.
The family reminisced about the bitterness and sweetness, and recalled a few months ago as if it was a lifetime ago.
At this time last year, the family never imagined that so many things would happen to the Wei family.
I never imagined that the Wei family would be as prosperous as it is today after the rain has passed and the sky has cleared up.
In the next few days, Qingzhou City and Hengzhou City were very busy. The literati who came to study and inquire were really about to level the threshold of the two colleges.
The threshold of the Wei family was almost leveled by the princes and nobles.
These princes and nobles all wanted their children to worship Wei Yi as their teacher and become his students.
After all, they know very well that so many people today want to practice Confucianism and Taoism.
If you really want to learn skills and have extraordinary power in the future, you must become Wei Yi's personal disciple.
What's more, for an extraordinary person like Wei Yi, if his children are lucky enough to become Wei Yi's apprentice, it will really be like reaching the sky in one step, and the future will be bright.
Inheriting a title or becoming an official in the court seems to be nothing. If they can become extraordinary and stand above all living beings, that is what they really look forward to.
It's a pity that except for a few supporters of the Tianxia Alliance, Marquis Ningyuan, Duke Zhongyong, King Jin and others saw Wei Yi.
None of the others saw Wei Yi himself.
They visited the Wei family again and again, but Wei Yi was never there.
But they are not angry either. After all, they know in their hearts that their expectations are a bit high.
Although they are princes and nobles, Wei Yi is a real master.
It not only created Confucianism and Taoism, but also gave these people who like reading the opportunity to become extraordinary people.
Moreover, his strength was so great that even the Heavenly Man Sect didn't look down upon him. He even killed monsters and saved countless people in Hengzhou City.
So how could such an extraordinary person accept disciples at will, even the children of princes and nobles like them?
In the eyes of those truly peerless masters, they, the princes and nobles, have to lower their profile.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Marquis, but my young master is not here. If you also want to ask about Confucianism and Taoism, you can go to the Confucianism and Taoism Academy in the city." The guardian at the gate of Wei's house said with clasped fists.
Facing the powerful Marquis, I felt panicked.
"Okay, if Mr. Wei comes back, please let me know." The Marquis winked at the man in brocade clothes next to him.
The other party immediately took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the guard.
"It's impossible!" The nurse hurriedly postponed.
"With a little thought, I can buy some drinks for my brothers!" The man in brocade clothes said with a smile.
"Sorry, we don't dare to accept it. Mr. Marquis, you are making things difficult for me. Our master has rules. We cannot accept this money. If Young Master Wei finds out, maybe..." Several nursing homes did not dare to accept this money. money.
They knew very well that Wei Yi deliberately avoided these people, so how could they dare to accept money to deliver messages to others.
What's more, although the Marquis has a high and powerful position, Wei Yi is their master, and he is a truly extraordinary person with vast supernatural powers and omnipotence.
They can still tell the difference between what is light and what is important.
What's more, Wei Yi treated them well and paid them enough wages.
"Master Marquis, don't worry, as long as the young master comes back, we will definitely inform you!" Another nurse said with clasped fists.
Seeing that several nursing homes refused to accept money, Mr. Hou had no choice but to wave his hands and give up.
Immediately he cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to bother you all!"
The Marquis got into the carriage and left the Wei family's residence.
Seeing the Marquis leaving, several nursing staff also breathed a sigh of relief.
But I felt very happy.
"It feels so good. Even the Marquis wants to be polite to us!"
"Haha, that's right. People ask for help from us. Alas, we, Mr. Wei, are really awesome." "
That's right, Mr. Wei. But those who have attained the Dao can actually be compared to ordinary people. In front of our young master, the princes and nobles are not much different from us!"
Several guards discussed.
During this time, their eyes were opened, and they met countless princes and nobles at once.
And they were either in a high position or a relative of the emperor.
Together, these people are enough to turn the Great Yan Dynasty upside down.
In fact, Wei Yi was not afraid of seeing these people.
It's just a matter of showing the proper attitude.
Otherwise, if he receives them too easily, he may not have to do anything in the future, and he will not be able to receive these people every day.
Not to mention majestic.
So he must show an attitude and establish a safe social distance.
Whet their appetite, and also take a look at each family's attitude.
Anyway, the worst case scenario is that all the children of princes and noble families will be sent to their own Confucian and Taoist colleges, and they will be given occasional guidance to show their importance.
After all, these second generations are the future princes and generals of the dynasty.
Taking them under his command is equivalent to tying all the families behind them into the same boat.
In the future, with the support of these people, the Confucian and Taoist College will develop more stably and become indestructible.
What surprised Wei Yi was that these people were surprisingly patient, and none of them gave up.
He looked like he would never give up until he saw Wei Yi.
After all, they know the importance of this opportunity very well, and as long as there is one family that does not give up, they will not give up.
If you give up, the opportunity may fall into the hands of others, and in the end it will inevitably be a trade-off.
He is both a martial artist and a Confucianist, and he is good at literature and martial arts, so he will naturally have more trump cards in the future.
After whetting everyone's appetite for a few days, Wei Yi asked the old prince to come forward and invited all the princes and nobles to the Prince Jing'an Mansion.
Then he formally met with these princes and nobles.
At the dinner, all the high-ranking officials and nobles were eloquent and showed off their magical powers. They praised Wei Yi while trying hard to promote their children.
"Mr. Wei, my daughter especially likes your poems. She memorizes every poem you write by heart. She reads it over and over every day and comprehends it carefully - Come, Ziyue, recite "When Will the Bright Moon Come" to Mr. Wei."
"Haha, Quanzi is the same. Every day, I have to copy Young Master's poems over and over again, and I will write some reflections based on my feelings. By the way, I even brought a few of them and asked Young Master to read them!" "Young Master, I am such a little boy
. My son wrote a good calligraphy poem, but he said that only after seeing your calligraphy and painting did he know what the world is like!"
Everyone rushed to show their children's talents and strive for opportunities to perform, hoping that Wei Yi could Take a fancy to them.
Facing the enthusiasm of everyone, Wei Yi kept a serious face throughout the whole process and did not show his favor for anyone.
He didn't even mention a word about recruiting disciples. Even if the other party mentioned it, he would just change the topic.
It wasn't until the end of the dinner that he expressed his recognition for the young ladies from each family.
"Although the young ladies from each family are excellent, the rules are the rules. If you are willing to practice Confucianism and Taoism, you need to enter our Confucianism and Taoism Academy first. I will at most omit the assessment process and let the young ladies from each family directly enter the school and become Confucian and Taoist students. .
But Wei promised that he will do his best to cultivate him, but the so-called master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual.
The future will still depend on the results of each person's efforts! "...
