The Six Arts Poetry Festival is a major event in the literary world.
It is famous in all countries of China.
Some frustrated scholars would come to the Six Arts to try their luck. Dafeng was the most appreciative of talent among all the countries, and there was no discrimination against outsiders.
During the reign of the previous emperor, a spy case occurred, which infuriated the emperor. The prime minister, along with the six ministries, submitted a petition, urging the expulsion of the foreign officials. Finally, Yu Ji presented the "Memorial Against the Expulsion of Foreign Officials," which reassured the emperor and allowed them to remain.
A special decree was issued for this purpose, stating that regardless of nationality, anyone with ability would enjoy equal treatment. Anyone who dared to criticize others on this basis would be severely punished.
This is actually the foundation of Dafeng’s prosperity and strength.
After all, there are more opportunities in Dafeng.
As long as you have the ability, you can succeed!
As the saying goes, "Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and you will be able to serve the emperor." Beyond their ambitions, scholars ultimately seek to ascend the social ladder. Where they live isn't important; what matters is that they are treated like human beings.
The Liuyi Academy was just outside the city of Chang'an.
Walk fifty miles south and you will reach the academy.
Nestled among mountains and beside water, all you see is a vast expanse of white.
Occasionally you can see a few green plants dotted among them.
They are basically pine or cypress trees.
Ning Que stood at the door.
At this moment, your breath turns into frost.
The characters "Six Arts" are engraved on the huge stone.
This was a royal gift during the reign of Emperor Wen.
Shen Qinghe stood nearby, looking her up and down. She was draped in a thick white fox fur coat, as white as snow, light and warm. This coat alone was worth a thousand taels of silver, crafted by the combined efforts of numerous tailors and skilled craftsmen. Following behind her were her personal guards, including Tie Niu, who provided security.
"Meet the prince."
"Um."
Tie Niu took the initiative to step forward and show the invitation.
The guard handed the invitation back after verifying that it was correct.
He looked at the swords at the guards' waists.
"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"The academy has always had rules."
"No one entering may bring any weapons."
"OK."
Ning Que raised his hand.
Tie Niu and the others also tactfully handed over their weapons.
This was also a rule set during the reign of Emperor Wen.
It represents the great ambition of stopping war in the world.
In addition, there is the emphasis on the Six Arts.
I was afraid that someone would sneak in and start killing people.
It’s not that I’m worried about my disciples.
But the six arts teachers are all famous people!
Every death is a loss for Dafeng!
"Your Highness, please come in."
"good."
Ning Que walked inside.
Shen Qinghe looked at it curiously.
In the front is a human-shaped statue.
I can't see the specific appearance clearly.
He wore a Tongtian crown on his head and a sword at his waist.
The right hand is pointing upward and diagonally forward.
With an aura that looks down on the world!
"Who is this?"
"Emperor Wen." Ning Que stood in front and bowed, introducing, "The Six Arts were able to be established thanks to Emperor Wen's full support. There was much opposition at the time, but Emperor Wen was extremely persistent, even halting the construction of the imperial palace. He also said that even if he had to sell his crown, the Six Arts must be established. Dafeng will not go far relying solely on military prowess; civil governance must also keep pace. If they don't act today, future generations will curse them!"
Ning Que was also very emotional.
Emperor Wen was the emperor he respected most.
That’s why his posthumous title can be rated as [Wen]!
Of all the posthumous titles, "wen" is definitely the best. It encompasses almost all the virtues of governing a country, including being knowledgeable, morally sound, and studious.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that martial arts skills are useless.
Emperor Wen was very strong in both civil and military strategies.
It can be said that the subsequent development of Dafeng today is basically due to the capital of Emperor Wen. He created the Six Arts and formulated laws to protect the Six Arts, laying an extremely solid foundation for Dafeng.
"He really has foresight."
Shen Qinghe couldn't help but express his admiration.
Dafeng places too much emphasis on martial arts.
The civil and political aspects have never kept up.
If it weren't for the Six Arts, I'd have been finished long ago.
Warmongering is not just talk.
"Let's continue walking inside."
"good."
Ning Que walked in front.
I also met some scholars along the way.
But they are all relatively unfamiliar.
It obviously came from somewhere else.
The main accent is not that of a Chang'an native.
"Are you Prince Ning?"
"Um?"
The young man, wearing a scholar's cap, walked towards them quickly.
Ning Que looked at him and nodded.
"Who are you?"
"I am a disciple of Leng Qian and a native of Lanling, Huaiyang. My surname is Chen, and my courtesy name is Xia, Mo. Nice to meet you, Your Highness."
Chen Xia bowed respectfully.
Ning Que nodded in response.
"Leng Qian is your master?"
"I just had the privilege of attending a few classes."
Shen Qinghe nodded. "I remember Junior Brother Leng was the first one to follow my father. He was once my father's most valued disciple. Later, in order to promote my father's many ideas, he chose to go down the mountain and open an academy."
"You are?"
"My father is the Master of the Divine Machine Pavilion."
Chen Xia was immediately filled with awe.
"Has your master come to Chang'an?"
"Master left before us, and we don't know what happened after that." Chen Xia looked embarrassed and continued, "It's mainly because I'm not very talented. I've only attended a few classes so far. We don't know where Master is..."
"Okay." Ning Que looked at Shen Qinghe and said with a smile, "I think my senior brothers must have made careful preparations to give us a surprise."
"It should be."
Ning Que looked at Chen Xia again, "If I remember correctly, Lanling should belong to Jiaodong. You came to Chang'an to participate in the poetry gathering, presumably for fame and fortune, right?"
"right……"
Chen Xia nodded awkwardly.
Ning Que smiled.
