Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 293 Annotations on the Six Classics
Grand Tutor Wenxi, Marquis Huo Feihu, and Shi Bi of the Imperial Academy!
In front of the three men were more than ten scrolls of books, titled "Collected Annotations on the Six Classics".

Huo Feihu was a pure martial artist and didn't quite understand the power of this thing, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that powerful?"

Shi Bi nodded, remaining silent.

Wenxi sighed and said, "He's just too young, otherwise..."

This wasn't Sun Yanwan's first time visiting Luojing, but this time it was completely different from her previous visits.

Although he had caused a great deal of trouble on previous occasions, none of them had ever shocked the court and the public like this!
Sun Yanwan created the Six Classics Martial Arts just to ride the wave of popularity and also to test the attitude of the literary world of Da Lang towards the Six Classics. He had the full collection of classics in the Martial Classics Pavilion and the experience of creating martial arts with grandmasters and masters. Creating a martial arts to complement the Six Classics was not difficult for him.

But then he pulled off a really big stunt!
After creating the Six Classics Martial Arts, Sun Yanwan produced a sixteen-volume collection of commentaries on the Six Classics.

In this world, martial arts flourished, and although Confucianism also prospered, it did not have as many schools as in the Song and Ming dynasties, and no one had yet come up with the groundbreaking idea of ​​"interpreting the Six Classics through my own lens."

My annotations on the Six Classics are interpretations of the Six Classics!

"The Six Classics interpret me" means using the Six Classics as evidence to prove the correctness of one's own statements.

In short, Sun Yanwan discovered that there was a place for her as a literary sage in this world!

If you don't take it!

Isn't that a waste of resources?
The publication of this sixteen-volume "Collected Annotations on the Six Classics" caused a sensation throughout Luoyang, and within days, the whole country was shaken.

If history could move, it would probably be shaken.

The three masters gazed at the "Collected Annotations on the Six Classics." Huo Feihu was merely impressed, Shi Bi was bewildered, and Wen Xi was terrified. After a long while, the Grand Tutor of the State said, "I never expected that Dr. Sun would have such extraordinary abilities."

Shi Bi slowly said, "I didn't expect that Dr. Sun would be so broad-minded and different from us."

Huo Feihu couldn't help but ask again, "What exactly will happen?"

Wenxi said calmly, "Marquis Wu should not know, and even I do not want to know."

The Grand Tutor of the State trembled slightly. Even when he encountered a Grandmaster or a top expert, he would not be so frightened. But these sixteen volumes of "Collected Annotations on the Six Classics" terrified this old minister of the Great Lang Dynasty.

Only one thought occupied his mind: "Is Sun Yanwan... even human?"

After making a big move, Sun Yanwan became even more reclusive. Although she still received students from the academy every day, she only smiled and remained silent, rarely speaking or making any pronouncements.

The area in front of the Wujing Building was busier than ever. It was no longer just students who came, but also high-ranking officials and renowned scholars. Some people didn't even speak, just stood there silently for a while, glanced at Sun Yanwan a few times, and then turned and left.

Some people wanted to formally become his disciples on the spot, but Sun Yanwan declined them all, saying that he was too young to do such a thing.

If we were to talk about the person in Luojing who was most excited and jumping around in the streets, it would be the former third-place scholar, now the Hanlin scholar Li Wangyou.

After Sun Yanwan became the top scholar in the imperial examination, this scholar, when drunk, often boasted to others, "Little Li is only fit to be the third-ranked scholar, but his disciple became the top scholar."

He often refers to himself as the top scholar's teacher!
When the sixteen-volume "Collected Annotations on the Six Classics" was published, Li Wangyou boasted to people in Fanlou: "Of all the literature in the world, my student alone possesses eight-tenths, I possess three-tenths, and all the scholars in the world owe my teacher and me one-tenth." Afterwards, Li Wangyou sobered up and realized that his remarks were wrong. He spread the word that he had never said such a thing and that it was a smear campaign. However, the rumor spread so widely that no matter how he tried to "debunk" it, he could not stop it from spreading.

Even Sun Yanwan had to step in, pinching her nose and saying, "My teacher Wangyou is a true gentleman!" and then refused to say another word.

This is such a huge boast that even Sun Yanwan can't take it!
Sun Yanwan has recently experienced both joy and sorrow. The court finally succumbed to the overwhelming public opinion and transferred him to the position of Academician of the Guanglu Pavilion, promoting him to the fifth rank, while still concurrently serving as the Military Classics Doctor of the Imperial Academy.

The Second Prince had long wanted to kill Sun Yanwan, but had not found a suitable candidate. At this moment, he was in his mansion, holding a volume of "Collected Annotations on the Six Classics," his eyebrows twitching, feeling as if he were about to suffer from a mental breakdown.

He had also put in effort to send Sun Yanwan to the Imperial Academy, thinking that this would keep Sun Yanwan from returning to Black Dragon City.

Although Sun Yanwan insisted that he had no troops and that the Black Dragon City's fleet had nothing to do with him, how could the Second Prince believe him? He was convinced that as long as Sun Yanwan was separated from Black Dragon City and that huge fleet, Sun Yanwan would be powerless in Luojing and would be unable to cause any more trouble.

Little did they expect that Sun Yanwan, even without leaving the Imperial Academy, possessed the ability to turn the tide and stir up trouble out of nothing.

In a daze, the Second Prince felt as if his ancestor was about to jump out of his head and angrily curse him. Just as he was fretting, someone said, "Second Prince, the Black Attendant has arrived."

His spirits lifted immediately, and he said, "Please come in quickly!"

A plump old man walked into the Second Prince's residence with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Hei Guanghan greets the Second Prince!"

If Sun Yanwan were here, he would be very surprised, because he had seen this plump old man before, when the old man was with Yang Diao'er.

This man was one of the four Grand Masters of the Great Lang court, holding the rank of Second-Rank Attendant. During the turmoil of the princes of Great Lang vying for the position of Crown Prince, he remained aloof, never uttering a word or taking sides.

The Second Prince went to great lengths to persuade this master-level expert to come to his residence for a chat. He was thrilled and treated the expert with great hospitality.

Hei Guanghan saw the scroll of "Collected Annotations on the Six Classics" on the table and asked with a smile, "Does the Second Prince also read this book?"

The second prince sighed and said, "Once this book is published, all scholars in the world will flock to it. How could I dare not read it?"

Hei Guanghan asked with a smile, "Does the Second Prince still wish to kill this man?"

The second prince shook his head and said, "Even Father wouldn't dare to kill this person so easily."

"I would like to ask the Black Attendant if he has any good plan to persuade this man to abandon the Fourth Prince and come to me?"

Hei Guanghan smiled slightly and said, "If it were a few years ago, there would still be a way. Back then, Scholar Sun loved fine wine and beautiful women, and the Second Prince was willing to give up a sister. Maybe we could win him over."

"After this person became engaged to Shi Si..."

"Aside from going to Zhoujia Mountain and snatching the most beautiful woman in the world, he has not done anything else dissolute, nor has he shown any flaws."

The Second Prince's face grew increasingly grim, but he earnestly pleaded for a solution. Hei Guanghan feigned helplessness and said, "The only solution now is to earnestly request His Majesty to appoint you as Crown Prince as soon as possible and to appoint Sun Yanwan as the Crown Prince's tutor."
