History was too obscure for self-taught scholars like Tang Jinyan, but he was eager to learn about the culture and past of his motherland. At the same time, he also hoped to improve himself. That was why he studied by himself and wanted to listen to lectures.
He listened to other people's advice to study China's culture. He started from novels with strong stories, supplemented by various interpretation books, and gradually learned from modern classics, and then extended from classical literature to history.
At present, he was familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and related books. He knew that Zhuge Liang was famous for his governance of the State of Qi, and the State of Qi was famous for its hatred of the State of Qi.
Since the State of Qi was involved in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of China, where was it if not the State of China?
Many books compared Cao Cao's "Holding the Emperor to order his vassals" with Duke Huan of Qi's "Respecting the King and Suppressing the Barbarians". He also knew a little about it. Since they used this strategy to fight for hegemony in the Zhou Dynasty, did they respect the King of Korea instead of the King of Zhou?
It didn't make sense.
The Barbarians might be the King of Korea, but it would have to be the King of Korea …
But he admitted that he was uneducated, and his knowledge of the distant Spring and Autumn Period was limited to these few points. Maybe Confucius happened to be among the Barbarians?
After all, he didn't have the courage to debate with the Professor. He could only listen silently.
"As mentioned in the last class, Confucius was very tall because of the bloodline of the Republic of Korea. He was not a weak scholar.
The first country they traveled to was called the State of Wei, which was around the border of today's HNHB and SD.
He passed by a place called Kuangcheng. The people of Kuangcheng saw him and mistook him for a big thief.
This shows the barbarism and ignorance of ancient China. "
Tang Jinyan couldn't help but raise his hand and ask, "Sorry Professor, I didn't come to the last class. May I ask where Confucius was before he traveled to the other countries?"
The Professor nodded and said, "He was an official in the State of Lu. He was from Lu."
"Can you ask about the specific situation of the State of Lu?"
"The State of Lu is south of today's Mount Tai. It is a big country with the State of Qi, but it is not strong."
"Oh … Who is the boss?"
"The boss?
Monarch?
The monarch of the State of Lu is surnamed Ji, a direct descendant of the Zhou Dynasty … "Halfway through his sentence, the professor's expression suddenly changed, and he changed the topic," Student, please don't bring the messy words of society into the university. "
"I still want to f * ck your mother!"
Tang Jinyan slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at him and scolded, "You're obviously full of knowledge. Why do you have to lie through your teeth?
Misleading students?
Since the monarch is a direct descendant of the Zhou Dynasty, where did you get the face to say that it's the territory of the Gao Dynasty? "
The Professor was furious. "Who allowed you to make trouble in class?
Get out! "
"Motherf * cker …" Tang Jinyan rushed out angrily. He wanted to go on stage and beat someone up.
The contrast between the beautiful ideal of studying and the reality was so great that he almost lost his rationality.
"No!" Xu Xian, who knew him well, was already prepared for him to go berserk. He quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.
Tang Jinyan's strength caused her to hit the corner of the table. Xu Xian did not care about the pain. She hurriedly begged, "Don't mess around …"
Tang Jinyan turned his head abruptly and glared at him angrily. Xu Xian looked at his angry eyes and his heart twitched. He said in a low voice, "This will cause a big problem."
The classroom was already in chaos. That person wanted to go up and beat the Professor. Who couldn't tell?
Suddenly, there was an uproar.
The professor shouted from the podium, "This is crazy!
Security!
Where's the security? "
Tang Jinyan looked at Xu Xian coldly. "Since you said something fair just now, I'll give you face."
After saying this, he walked around Xu Xian and strode out.
Xu Xian gritted her teeth and thought for half a second. Then, she quickly turned around and followed him out.
Tang Jinyan walked all the way to the school gate angrily. Xu Xian followed behind. Xu Xian, who did not have much of a reaction in class, caused some students to scream on campus. "Ah!
Xu Xian! "
Then, someone took out his phone to take a picture.
Tang Jinyan's expression changed. He quickly turned into a forest road and stared coldly at Xu Xian. "Why are you following me?
Looking for another day, right? "
Xu Xian said carefully, "I … I'm afraid that you'll come out and beat people up. They're innocent."
Tang Jinyan tilted his head and looked at her for a while. He was so angry that he almost laughed. "You're really a weirdo."
Fortunately, it was class time and there were very few students on campus. The two of them walked on the forest road and it was quiet.
"I won't take it out on others."
The two of them walked side by side for a few steps. Tang Jinyan calmed down a little. He lowered his head and looked at her waist. "Did you bump into the corner of a table?
Are you okay? "
"I'm fine …" Xu Xian rubbed her waist. It was probably a bruise, but she couldn't care less about it. She said carefully, "That professor's academic views are very controversial in the school. There aren't many people who support him. He's not the mainstream."
Tang Jinyan remembered the strange smile of the student who had led him here. He felt a little better. "If all the Professor in Dongguo are like this, I'll find a chance to burn this damn place down sooner or later!"
Xu Xian was embarrassed. "No, I won't. The lectures I attended before didn't say that."
Tang Jinyan took out his phone and entered China's Baidu. He entered the country of Lu. Soon, an encyclopedia appeared.
Tang Jinyan skimmed through it and almost laughed out loud. Then, he put the phone in front of Xu Xian. "Do you understand?"
"More or less." Xu Xian looked at it seriously. She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly.
The country of Lu was not just a direct descendant of the Zhou Dynasty. It was said that Lu was the closest relative of the Zhou Dynasty. Lu was the most suitable to wear the wings of the Zhou Dynasty.
Other remote vassal states might be fine, but Lu, a vassal state that could almost represent the Zhou Dynasty, could actually say that it was not from the Zhou Dynasty with its eyes closed. How shameless could it be to say that?
"I won't listen to this Professor's classes anymore." Xu Xian was a little angry. "How could he do that?
This isn't an academic disagreement. He's deliberately lying! "
"He'll be taught a lesson." Tang Jinyan's face was expressionless, but his tone was a little cold.
Xu Xian turned to look at him for a while. She didn't know what to say to stop him from committing a crime. She had to beat around the bush. "Your name sounds like a Chinese?"
"Yes."
Tang Jinyan said faintly, "But don't misunderstand. I'm not so angry because of this. This is only part of the reason."
Xu Xian was a little surprised. "Then it's because?"
"Because he tarnished the pure land that I've yearned for for more than ten years."
Tang Jinyan said through gritted teeth, "The classroom is a place to teach people knowledge, not a place to mislead people!
I've yearned for it for more than ten years just to listen to his bullshit? "
Xu Xian was silent.
The feeling of having your dreams shattered after yearning for more than ten years …
And … the dream that you've yearned for for more than ten years was just to study …
For the first time, Xu Xian felt a little sympathy for this triad.
This was a path that he couldn't take even if he wanted to, but to her, it was something that was easily given up.
She had wanted to study hard since she was young. She had also dreamed of being a diplomat like Pan Jiwen, but she gave up.
It had nothing to do with anything else. It was because she couldn't resist the temptation of being in the spotlight and walked the path of a trainee.
Wasn't her diligence and eagerness to learn, which had always been talked about, also a way to make up for her past?
She comforted him in a low voice, "No matter where you go, there will always be good and bad people … Next time, you can go to another Professor's class. I heard that Professor Lee's class is very good."
Tang Jinyan laughed. "If I cause trouble this time, how can I come next time?
Forget it, I don't belong in this kind of place. "
Xu Xian shook her head and said, "The people who have seen you are only half of the people in the classroom. You'll be in the limelight for a while, and they'll forget what you look like next week. What does it matter?"
"Oh …" Tang Jinyan looked at her as if he had discovered a new continent. "I thought you were the person who least wanted to see the triad appear on campus."
Xu Xian lowered her head and looked at the weeds under the tree. A gentle breeze blew past, blowing her hair into a mess.
She reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "I've been in the industry for five years. I'm no longer the sixteen-year-old Xu Xian.
No matter what, there's nothing wrong with respecting facts and respecting knowledge. "
After a pause, she turned her head and looked at Tang Jinyan's long sleeves, as if she wanted to see through the evil inside. "That's that. I still think that a triad like you should go to jail."
Tang Jinyan looked at her quietly. She bravely stared back at him without flinching.
Tang Jinyan suddenly laughed and gave her a thumbs up.
Then, the two of them tacitly turned left and right and walked in different directions.
A moment later, Xu Xian, who was already in the car, received a call from the school.
"Xu Xian XI, I heard that someone almost beat up the Professor today. You seem to know him?
Can you tell me what happened? "
Xu Xian leaned against the car and replied calmly, "That was my assistant. He helped me bring some information in. I'm really sorry for causing trouble for the school.
I've already asked the company to replace my assistant. "
"In that case … I'll let it go this time. Please don't let something similar happen in the future."
"I'm really sorry …"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xian silently looked at the crowd outside the window and sighed softly.
I've been in the industry for five years. I'm no longer the sixteen-year-old Xu Xian.
