Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 7 Wei Yuan: Interesting

A mysterious power surged from deep within his mind...

The next moment, he seemed to have left his body and found himself in a golden ocean of text and knowledge!

The first thing to be sorted out is the classics of the saints in this world.

Classics, policy essays, governing the country, military strategy...

Book after book, commentary after commentary, sentence after sentence, word after word...

After receiving the memories of his previous life and studying hard, Wei An once thought that he was only one step away from mastering the classics of the saints of this world.

But now I find that I still have many shortcomings. New interpretations and new connections are like a revelation to me.

He enjoys this experience of being nourished by knowledge!
I don't know how long it took, but when the review was finished, Wei An thought he was about to be promoted to the ninth rank of Confucianism and awakened...

Another mysterious force!
Books fly out one after another!
The Analects, Mencius, The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Book of History, The Book of Songs, The Book of Changes, The Book of Rites, The Spring and Autumn Annals…

More than just the Four Books and Five Classics!

Wei An had already understood one thing at this time!

There might be other reasons why his predecessor was slow to reach the ninth level and awaken his mind, but even if he mastered all the classics of the saints in this world, he would not be able to be promoted. His mind contains thousands of years of Confucian classics from another world!
All the books were opened at the same time, and countless golden threads flew out from them and connected to other books. Each golden thread was either a verification of a point of view or an explanation of a sentence.

The huge sorting has begun...

During this process, Wei An experienced several schools of Confucianism.

For example, the Zisi School, represented by Zisi, inherited and developed Confucius' idea of ​​"the golden mean".

There is also the Mencius School, represented by Mencius, which developed Confucius' idea of ​​"benevolence" and proposed that "human nature is good".

Yan's school, Sun's school, Yuezheng's school...

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism!

Lu and Wang's philosophy!

There are countless viewpoints and interpretations, some of which confirm each other, while others, like the same poles of magnets, repel each other.

By the end, Wei An still didn't feel dizzy.

He should have been promoted to the ninth level and awakened.

【Items that can be advanced: 0/1】

really!

The Confucian Nine Grades can open your mind, improve your memory, and make you remember everything you see!

Slowly opening his eyes, Wei An felt relaxed and refreshed all over.

After clearing his mind, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that the requirement of being promoted to the ninth rank, 'turning it into his own use', had brought him such a great opportunity!

He has already grasped the foundation for establishing a sect and the capital to become a saint instantly!

Wei An quickly put away his thoughts. To establish a sect and become a saint instantly, he still needed to accumulate experience and there was still time!
...

this day
The watchman's office, Haoqi Building

Nangong Qianrou came in exhausted and met another Jinluo Yang Yan.

The two went upstairs side by side.

"I haven't seen you for several days. What have you been busy with?" Yang Yan asked casually.

Nangong Qianrou glanced at him and said in a cold tone, "Do you want to know?"

Yang Yan smiled and said, "Look at you, it seems that things are not going well."

"Stop asking about what my adoptive father told me to do!" Nangong Qianrou's tone became even colder. After saying that, she quickly opened two steps. Thinking of something, she stopped and turned around to ask, "How's the tax case going?"

Yang Yan took two steps to his side, smiling, completely unaffected by his previous attitude, and asked, "Do you want to know?"

Well, the boomerang hit back!
A hint of anger flashed across Nangong Qianrou's feminine face, but then she reacted and said, "Have you found the person behind this?"

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Let's go. You can listen to me while I report to Lord Wei."

"... "

"...The individuals who exchanged the tax silver were Lu Qizhi, a captain of the Imperial Sword Guard, and Zheng Xin, a director of the Ministry of Revenue. The man behind them was Zhou Xianping, the Minister of Revenue..."

"... "

After Yang Yan finished his report, he glanced at Nangong Qianrou.

Aside from Wei Yuan, everyone involved in the tax and silver case knew that it was Nangong Jinluo who had noticed the silver had been swapped, making a significant contribution to the case's resolution. "So? Zhou Xianping still dares to touch me?" Nangong Qianrou said calmly.

His expression and tone showed disdain.

Yang Yan smiled but did not respond.

"That yamen sharpshooter named Xu Qian'an, send people to keep an eye on him." Wei Yuan said.

"Yes."

Yang Yan accepted the order and took his leave.

After sensing Yang Yan's departure, Nangong Qianrou gathered her energy, clasped her fists, and reported, "Foster father, Qianrou is useless. This trip to Qingzhou yielded nothing."

"Not a trace left?" Wei Yuan looked up, glanced at his adopted son, and asked.

"No." There was a hint of shame on Nangong Qianrou's lowered face.

"Interesting." Wei Yuan said these two words calmly.

His reaction was like a hammer hitting Nangong Qianrou's forehead. Her thoughts raced, and after a while, Nangong Qianrou had thought it through. "Godfather, if there are no traces, then either Wei An's identity is fake and all his previous words are unbelievable, or the person behind this is really quite skilled."

Wei Yuan took out a black piece from the Go box and placed it on the back of the chessboard. He then picked up a book from the pile of folded paper beside the horizontal table and handed it to Nangong Qianrou, "Take a look."

Nangong Qianrou took it, opened it, and after reading a few lines, she realized that this was Wei An's surveillance log.

He stepped aside and saw a place, frowned, and couldn't help saying, "He has also entered the ninth level of Confucianism. With such a combination of cultivation, I'm afraid he won't go far."

After he finished speaking, he realized, "The ninth rank of Confucianism is to understand the truth and practice it diligently. This rank is the best time to cultivate the great and righteous spirit. If he can cultivate the great and righteous spirit, then my adoptive father..."

Wei Yuan met his adopted son's gaze and nodded.

...

At the same time, outside Kyoto, Mianyang Pavilion

Master Chen had said earlier that there would be a ceremony to become a disciple. Although the Confucian disciple-taking ceremony was not as extensive as that held by the sects, the proper etiquette was still required.

Wei An had already presented the six gifts of tribute.

Today, Master Chen took the opportunity to introduce him to some other important Confucian figures in Chang'an, and the ceremony was completed.

The autumn wind was blowing, and several carriages were parked on the roadside.

In a large pavilion, a circle of seats has gathered many old gentlemen and great scholars.

Today is a big day for Yunlu Academy.

Today, when Yunlu Academy is gradually declining in the officialdom of Dafeng, Yang Gongzhong, one of the four great Confucian scholars of Yunlu Academy, has entered the government and served as the governor of Yizhou!

Although he was appointed to Qingzhou, a Confucian private territory, it was still a very happy event!
Wei An knew something about the feud between the Imperial College and Yunlu Academy, and had also heard other students talk about it.

The day before yesterday, Master Chen told Wei An to prepare a farewell poem.

Wei An had different ideas.

He glanced at the students around him. These were either disciples of the four great Confucian scholars of Yunlu Academy, or descendants of some great Confucian scholars and old masters. They all had potential.

Farewell poem...

"Wei is fine."

Wei An followed Chen Tai silently, thinking secretly, when a voice brought his thoughts back to reality.

He looked back and saw Xu Xinnian who had disappeared for several days.

Wei An stopped, bowed briefly and said with a smile, "Brother Xu Nian."

He knew that Xu Xinnian had disappeared for several days because his family was involved in a tax and banking case, but there was nothing to mention at this time.

"I just learned that Brother Wei has become Chen Ru's disciple. I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. Brother Wei has a promising future." Xu Xinnian also smiled.

"I dare not. I heard that Brother Nian has been Mr. Zhang's disciple for a long time. I am far from being able to compare with him."

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Wei An returned to Chen Tai's side.

Today's theme is mainly farewell.

Chen Tai introduced Wei An to the great scholars and old gentlemen, and the topic began.

The four great Confucian scholars of Yunlu Academy, the old gentlemen expressed their feelings, and Mr. Ziyang, that is, Yang Gong, expressed his ambitions again. The process came to the part that the students were most looking forward to today.
