Chapter 259 Luo Xin's Defying Thoughts
Thank you very much for your reward!
"This..." A hint of hesitation flashed across Luo Xin's face, and finally he spoke: "This is something I wrote in my spare time. ←,"
Song Tai's eyes lit up: "But the storybook?"
"No!" Luo Xin smiled and shook his head, "It's all about knowledge."
Seeing that Luo Xin had no intention of showing him, Song Tai took his eyes back and stopped talking about this matter. He started chatting with Luo Xin. However, when he finally got up and left, he still couldn't help saying:
"The things written by Mr. Luo are not commentary on the Four Books and Five Classics, right?"
"no!"
Luo Xin shook his head, and Song Tai's heart was relieved. I was afraid that after Luo Xin took the case exam twice in a row, he became arrogant and wanted to write something like the Four Books, Five Classics, etc. These things are not something that can be written casually, nor are anyone able to write them. Although everyone can speak freely during parties, once they are written, the situation will immediately become different.
Looking at the thousands of years of China, the circle of literati emphasizes seniority, and the criticism is that literati is inferior to each other. If you want to write an academic book recognized by literati, you will all have the worst juren status. In fact, the juren status is a bit light, and it is also a Jinshi status. And this identity alone is not enough. You must also have a reputation and qualifications. Otherwise, the books you write will not only not have good results, but will be ridiculed and criticized by literati circles.
If Luo Xin had written such a book as Tong Sheng for sale, he would have been given a reputation of frivolity, overestimating his abilities, etc., and his career would have come to an end. He had invested in Luo Xin, so he naturally did not want Luo Xin to embark on this path of no return. So he couldn't help but ask. After getting Luo Xin's answer, he relaxed with a nervous look on his face, but then Luo Xin's words almost fainted.
"What I wrote is not just annotation, but more about my analysis of the Four Books and Five Classics and some new views."
Song Tai's face was pale and his lips were trembling. Luo Xin was not just arrogant, he was simply crazy, he was going to go against the will of heaven! Looking at the great scholars in history, did he think about writing an analysis and new perspective as a child?
The one who can do this is not a erudite man with a long history of his life, a prominent and very old age, such as Cheng Zhu, a Neo-Confucian scholar, and Wang Yangming, a heart-study scholar.
You, a twelve-year-old boy, want to do what a great scholar does?
Isn’t this self-destructing the future?
Song Tai was in a bad mood and said tremblingly: "Prince Luo, please forgive Song Tai for saying frankly. No matter how good your analysis and opinions are, you are not suitable for your current identity and qualifications. It will only cause endless trouble for Mr. Luo. It is better to wait until Mr. Luo passes the Jinshi exam before trying these things. At that time, the top scholar bookstore will not make any money and publish this book for Mr. Luo."
Luo Xin bowed his head and said solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Song, for your good words."
Seeing Luo Xin's actions, Song Tai's nervous mood relaxed. At this time, Luo Xin smiled and said:
"Brother Song. I had never thought about publishing what I wrote, at least I have never thought about it now. And..." Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on Luo Xin's face:
"Even if I want to publish a book now and want to write down relatively mature analysis and opinions in a complete way, I don't know how long it will take, and then I need to change the manuscript several times. I don't know how many years it will take? I'm just a little immature thoughts now, and I'm afraid that I will forget them in the future, so I sorted them out and studied them slowly."
Song Tai thought about it, too. Even if Luo Xin had the idea of publishing a book now, it would be really hard to know how many years it would take to write it completely, maybe more than ten years, or decades. After figured it out, Song Tai not only completely let go of his heart, but also deeply admired Luo Xin.
Although Luo Xin didn't say it, Song Tai already felt that Luo Xin wanted to become a great scholar like Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, or to establish a sect. Otherwise, how could Luo Xin start to sort out his views at the age of twelve?
Twelve years old!
Only twelve years old!
He had such thoughts and such ambitions! He seemed to have seen decades later. Luo Xin had become a great scholar of the generation of scholars to teach on the high platform, and there were dense students in the audience. Song Tai looked respectful on his face and bowed:
"Young Master Luo is ambitious and talented, and you will learn how to write in the future. You must find me to print a book for you."
Song Tai had already made a respectful reputation to Luo Xinyong without realizing it. Luo Xin returned the courtesy and said:
"Brother Song praised it!"
"No, you must agree to this matter, brother." Song Tai insisted with a firm look.
"Okay!" Luo Xin no longer refused, and this was what he thought: "Then thank Brother Song, but Brother Song has to wait."
"Brother can afford to wait, hahaha..."
The two looked at each other and laughed, and Song Tai left with confidence. After sending Song Tai away, Luo Xin returned to the study and picked up the manuscript on the table, with a look of thought in his eyes.
good!
Luo Xin wanted to publish a book, one or several academic professional books, not a novel book. Because he knew how difficult it would be for him in the future, and he was even at risk of being framed and killed at any time. So he needed a reputation, not an ordinary reputation, a great reputation, and the name of a great scholar. Only such reputation would make people who want to harm him have concerns. After all, this was a golden age of literati, and even the emperor dared not easily harm a great scholar, let alone Yan Song and Xu Jie?
If they really do this, it will cause a rebound from the entire Shilin. No one will easily choose to harm the great scholars. At most, they will block the great scholar from the official path, but they will not dare to harm each other's lives.
And this is Luo Xin’s minimum requirement, to save his life and have the capital to fight.
This idea emerged after he returned to Shanglin Village from Jinyang Prefecture. Originally, he returned to Yanglin County from Jinyang Prefecture, but there were guests for several days. Luo Xin was still patiently chatting and laughing to greet him, but after several days, he was disturbed and simply returned to Shanglin Village.
After returning to Shanglin Village, there was also an inevitable feast. As the first double-campus leader in Shanglin Village, if you don’t invite a guest, you will be scolded. So Luo Ping held a day-long banquet for guests.
Luo Xin's grandparents' attitude towards Luo Xin changed again because they had already heard from Luo Zhi. Since Luo Xin got the double-case leader, the identity of a scholar basically could not escape. In other words, in two months, in June, Luo Xin had a great possibility of becoming a scholar like Luo Zhi and becoming the fourth scholar in Shanglin Village.
