Chapter 430 It's so flat(1/2)
Looking at the old man with a proud look, Yang Fan was a little surprised, thinking that he was feeling irresistible because he did not treat him.
So he could only bow and say, "My younger generation Yang Fan has seen...uh...sen."
Only then did I remember that I didn’t know the other person at all, and I could only match my previous generations.
Kong Yingda smiled and introduced: "Mr. Marquis, this is a professor of the Imperial College and a great scholar in the scholarship, Sima Caizhang."
Yang Fan could only bow and bow again: "Mr. Yang Fan has met Mr. Sima."
There is no way. Judging from Kong Yingda's meaning, this guy is very famous in Shilin, so he still needs to do it!
What's more, Yang Fan still abides by respecting the elderly and loving the young. I didn't see that this old guy looked like he was half buried?
It just seems that this guy is not very famous. After all, if the other party is a celebrity who has been a famous person for all ages, Yang Fan must have heard of it.
Now I have never heard of the old man’s name. It seems that it is just a polite word from Kong Yingda!
However, Sima Caizhang was extremely proud and turned a blind eye to Yang Fan's choice of bowing. He raised his head and said arrogantly: "You are the Marquis of Zhongyi? You don't look very good!"
"Although it's quite polite, why are you so ignorant that you actually want to publish a book at a young age? Do you really think this is a playhouse?"
"I have studied the ways of saints throughout my life, and I have some experience in interpreting the meaning of saints. I dare not write a booklet and pass on the study alone. What kind of virtue can you do?"
Yang Fan was a little confused!
This guy feels so good, right?
That arrogant look is like treating himself as a child and grandchildren, and he really doesn't treat himself as an outsider.
Besides, why should a person who is really capable be boastful?
As the saying goes, half a pot of water sounds like a jingle. Which truly capable scholar is not humble and cautious? How can he be so arrogant?
I really want to open a dyeing shop if I give him some colors!
Haha, this guy is almost buried in half of his body, and he is too lazy to bother with him.
What's more, the way of a saint is not so easy to understand. This guy dares to say something shamelessly and has some experience, and he doesn't know how embarrassed he is.
In the thousands of years of history of China, every sentence and every word in the classics of saints seems to have different opinions in Yang Fan's opinion.
Now I heard that someone dared to say that they have achieved some success in their views on the way of the saints, which is really a big laugh.
Just as Kong Yingda said that he had achieved some success in his views on Confucianism, Yang Fan might have admired him more.
But if you dare to say that Kong Yingda's view on the way of the saint has achieved a little, Yang Fan will definitely not agree.
Because the way of being a saint does not only refer to Confucianism, it also includes many disciplines, and each discipline is profound and profound!
The words of saints have different opinions in every era, and no one dares to boast that they understand everything.
Besides, the more knowledgeable a person knows his insignificance...
Now Sima Caizhang is so arrogant. Even if he is a little talented, he thinks he is not much better than that.
However, Yang Fan has been in the officialdom for almost two years, so of course he will not be as angry as other young people when they encounter problems.
As long as this guy doesn't cause trouble, Yang Fan is too lazy to pay attention to it.
Yang Fan’s principle is generally that no one offends me, and no one offends me!
But Yang Fan's light and indifferent reaction made Sima Caizhang feel uneasy.
Although he is nearly 70 years old, Sima Caizhang never accepts his old age and believes that he can still show his strength in the officialdom.
Especially when he was recommended by Fang Xuanling, he was asked to participate in the compilation of the Five Classics, which made him extremely confident.
He believed that as long as he compiled the Five Classics, his achievements would never be lower than those of the important officials in the court.
At that time, even if you have no achievements in the officialdom in this life, you will definitely be remembered forever with the Five Classics.
Shouldn’t Yang Fan be complimenting his achievements... Is he long-awaited?
Now Yang Fan ignores him. What is this kid's attitude?
In fact, Sima Caizhang is not ignorant of Yang Fan’s deeds.
Of course, what he heard was just some rumors among the nobles, so he had a bad impression of Yang Fan.
He even believed that Yang Fan could become the Minister of Rites by taking advantage of his own interests and gaining favors.
Now that he has seen Yang Fan, Sima Caizhang certainly wants to show his talents and let others know that his abilities are far higher than those of the young boy in front of him.
Seeing that Yang Fan ignored him, Sima Caizhang refused to give in:
"Brother Chongyuan once said that the Marquis of Zhongyi is a rare young talent in the world, and they have learned about the Four Books and Five Classics, or the Six Arts of the Gentleman."
"And I have compiled two works entitled "Yang's Enlightenment" and "Yang's Calculation". Although I have heard of it for a little, I have never had the opportunity to see it."
"Just just now, Brother Chongyuan said that the work of Zhongyi Marquis is good. If Zhongyi Marquis has time today, let's discuss with each other. I can also give guidance and support to your shortcomings, and it's not in vain to meet me today..."
Sima Caizhang looked arrogant and looked as if he could give Yang Fan a guide, which was a great face and was the greatest blessing in his life.
These words made Yang Fan stunned!
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. It would be a pity for this old guy not to do sales!
Looking at the old man who was like a cockfighting, Yang Fan looked at Kong Yingda in surprise.
How could Kong Yingda, who is known as a great scholar, get along with such a arrogant guy?
Although the essence of Confucianism is to be tolerant and show the doctrine of the mean, doesn’t Kong Yingda feel uncomfortable with such a conceited guy?
Facing Yang Fan's surprised gaze, Kong Yingda also seemed a little embarrassed.
Sima Caizhang's talent is doubted by Mu Yong. Although he is not the first person in the world, he has a wide range of knowledge and has unique insights.
That's why Fang Xuanling deliberately recommended him to participate in the writing team of the Five Classics.
In the writing group of "Five Classics", except for Kong Yingda and Yan Shigu's fame that could suppress Sima Caizhang, everyone else had to hold the etiquette of the younger generation in front of Sima Caizhang.
It was just that Sima Caizhang was obsessed with fame and fortune, and his arrogant temperament was incompatible with the officialdom, which led to depression and dissatisfaction.
Over the long run, arrogance has been formed, making it difficult for ordinary people to become friends.
Otherwise, Sima Caizhang was already a doctorate in the Sui Dynasty, and would never be a less-than-class professor of the Imperial College.
However, Sima Caizhang was so ungrateful that he was targeting Yang Fan, which made Kong Yingda look a little ugly.
Kong Yingda can see the power of the Zhongyi Marquis who seemed harmless and polite to him.
The temperament of this Master Hou is like a little bit of fire when he encounters fire.
Even when facing the prince, this kid rolled up his arm and hit him...
Which of the important officials in the court, the princes and nobles, would have any good consequences if they annoyed him?
There are many people with broken arms and legs!
At the time in Wangyue Tower, Xu Jingzong and his son wanted to cause trouble for the marquis, but they were kneaded like dough by the marquis.
Now that things come, Xu Jingzong and his son dare not attend various gatherings in the martial arts world, and their reputation has plummeted!
Now this old friend dares to rely on his seniority in front of Yang Fan, and even wants to find a sense of existence, which is simply a humiliation.
But Sima Caizhang is his old friend after all, and Kong Yingda cannot ignore it, so he can only cough and say hello to maintain it:
"Mr. Zhongyi is afraid that he doesn't know anything. Brother Cai Zhang is compiling the "Five Classics" with us. Now it is coming to an end. You only need to review it by Your Majesty. It will take less than a few years to be used as a reading material for students in the Imperial College. Brother Cai Zhang has given great help in the compilation process of the "Five Classics"..."
Kong Yingda quickly picked Sima Caizhang's good aspects to evaluate.
Indeed, being able to participate in compiling the Five Classics is not only an affirmation of Sima Caizhang's knowledge, but also a supreme glory for literati.
Kong Yingda’s implication is that although his old friend is a little arrogant, he is still a very talented person...
Yang Fan was not angry about Kong Yingda's intentional protection. It was also a kind of respect for Kong Yingda's ability to explain this to him.
If you face other people, Kong Yingda would not have to explain so much. You should know that Kong Yingda is the one who dares to shy his face even His Majesty Li Er.
Yang Fan nodded slightly and nodded: "It turns out that Professor Sima has such talent. I admire him. My younger generation's ignorance made Confucius laugh! I will come to visit him for advice if I have time in the future."
After these words, Yang Fan put himself at a very low position, which was equivalent to giving Kong Yingda face.
It means that I will not compete with you, the arrogant old friend, for even endlessly!
Hearing this, Kong Yingda smiled and nodded with relief.
Who said that Yang Fan is a good guy? Now he is a versatile boy when he sees him.
Not only do you know how to advance and retreat, but you also take into account the face of others. It's so cute!
Kong Yingda knew Sima Caizhang's temperament. This old guy was so arrogant that it was impossible for him to adapt.
Now that Yang Fan was able to swallow his anger for his own sake, Kong Yingda was very pleased.
Of course, the reason why Yang Fan gave Kong Yingda this way was not only that Kong Yingda was a purely great scholar.
More importantly, he wanted to use his reputation to make the news department more convincing.
Besides, there is no need to confront an old man with such a small matter and insist on arguing about the difference.
Although Yang Fan can ignore it, Sima Caizhang doesn't think so.
Although this old guy is a little stubborn, he is not stupid. Of course, he can hear the concert between Kong Yingda and Yang Fan, and immediately scolded: "Boy, don't you think I have the ability to guide you?"
