Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 308: Scholar Su appreciates the Three Kingdoms!
The next day, Su Yun went to the Hanlin Academy in high spirits and saw the exhausted Deng Runfu,

Deng Runfu was a little embarrassed when he saw Su Yun, "I'm really sorry that I was too busy yesterday and didn't have time to go to your place to eat fish. Let's go tomorrow. I will definitely go tomorrow."

Su Yun nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Deng Runfu smiled sheepishly and said, "I have to ask you to continue to cover for me for one more day today. I really can't leave now."

Su Yun had no objection and nodded in agreement.

But this time, Su Yun did not just go there with his hands in his pockets, but started preparing for the lesson seriously.

Su Yun did not plan to continue talking about the Northwest War today. Of course, the Northwest War has not been finished yet, but the Northwest War is only a superficial phenomenon, not the core of the crisis of the Song Dynasty.

Su Yun figured out a truth last night, that is, if we want to save the Song Dynasty and make China rise, we need thousands and thousands of like-minded comrades to walk side by side, so we need to enlighten the people.

The students who were able to study at the Imperial Academy were either children of officials or children of commoners with outstanding academic performance. Regardless of which type they were, these people were the elites of the Song Dynasty at that time.

There are about 2,400 students in the Imperial Academy every year, and thousands of them are replaced every year. In other words, if one can teach in the Imperial Academy for three or four years, at least five or six thousand future elites of the Song Dynasty can be covered.

These five to six thousand elites will appear in various positions in the Song Dynasty court. If half of them can awaken, the impact will be extraordinary.

What many people need to be enlightened about most now is that they are completely unaware of the crisis that the Song Dynasty is about to face!

From the bottom to the top of this country, even Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others were aware of the country’s financial difficulties, too many officials, too many troops and other problems, but they did not think that the country would perish because of this.

Instead, they feel that the country is in trouble and needs to change. Even if they are told that the country will perish if it doesn't change, they don't really think so in their hearts.

After all, they have been dealing with the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia for hundreds of years, and they know very well that under the three-kingdoms situation, it is not easy for anyone to destroy anyone else.

After all, who could have imagined that in the next twenty or thirty years, a barbaric nation like the Jin people would appear, and no one could have imagined that a nation even more barbaric than the Jin Dynasty would rise up afterwards.

Although the people of the Song Dynasty seemed worried, they were not actually worried about the demise of their country.

If you don't believe me, look at this: Song Shenzong carried out reforms in order to make the country strong and prosperous, and then destroy Liao and Xia and take back their homeland. His resentment was only because things failed, and he didn't think that failure would lead to the destruction of the country.

Empress Dowager Gao, Sima Guang and others did not think that the country would perish if the new laws were stopped. Instead, they felt that the new laws made people's lives miserable. As long as the new laws were stopped and the country was allowed to recuperate, the country would naturally become prosperous and strong.

To put it bluntly, everyone looking at the prosperous scenes of the Song Dynasty and Korea would never think that the Song Dynasty would be destroyed in a few decades.

In fact, their idea was not wrong. If no new power rose, the Northern Song Dynasty would probably have lasted for another hundred or eighty years without any problem.

But the key issue is that twenty or thirty years later, first the Jin people came, then the Mongols came, first destroying the Northern Song Dynasty and then the Southern Song Dynasty. During this process, countless people in the great China died in this earth-shattering event!
Therefore, if we issue slogans of saving the nation from extinction from a normal perspective to enlighten the people, it will certainly be of no use. In this case, we have to step up our efforts.

Su Yun plans to test the waters with Deng Runfu's class. If it is popular, he plans to ask the Imperial College to offer a separate course, which will be called "Su Yun's Comments on the Three Kingdoms".

Hey.

Su Yun didn't intend to shout at the top of his voice something like "Song Dynasty Pills". It's not that the words were wrong, but he had to consider the audience's acceptance level.

The key point is that in this feudal dynasty, if you criticize the fate of the Song Dynasty, you may be the one who perishes in the end.

Therefore, Su Yun planned to use the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a starting point to analyze issues such as politics, military, economy, scientific and technological development, and cultural development during the stalemate between the Three Kingdoms.

Of course, we need to compare the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia. In this process, by analyzing the problems existing in the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, we can also point out the problems existing in the Song Dynasty.

In this way, Su Yun can see the talented and intelligent people among the students of the Imperial College, and it would be best if he could select them and make them his comrades in the same field. As for what he will do in the future, Su Yun has not yet thought about it, but no matter what he does, he must have a group of useful people around him!
Sow the seeds, and they will naturally bloom and bear fruit the next day. When you have a group of aspiring people around you, the answer will naturally be revealed.

Although Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not originally written by Su Yun, he wrote it himself after all. In order to restore Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Su Yun did a lot of homework and added a lot of original content to it. Therefore, even if he cannot say that he knows everything about the Three Kingdoms, he is proficient in it.

Therefore, preparing lessons was not difficult for Su Yun. It only took him a whole morning to prepare the copy for several classes.

He had a meal in the corridor of the Hanlin Academy, then changed his clothes and went to the Imperial College.

Then at the gate of Imperial College, he met the young professor who was waiting at the gate. The young professor respectfully told Su Yun that the location of today's class had been changed, and then the professor took Su Yun to the new location.

When Su Yun arrived at the place and took a look, he was surprised to see that this was Chengxin Hall, the largest auditorium in the Imperial College.

After entering, Su Yun was even more astonished. The auditorium was packed with Tai students. At a glance, there must be nearly two thousand people.
In recent years, the Imperial College has maintained a population of 2,400 people all year round, which means that only a small number of students in the entire Imperial College did not come.

In front of him, Su Yun saw many familiar faces. Those people were professors in the Imperial College.

Well, it seems that yesterday’s lesson on the Northwest War directly increased the company’s popularity.

Seeing so many people, Su Yun was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether these people came for the war in the northwest or for his people.

But he immediately put aside this concern and was confident in the copy he had prepared.

The story of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty has actually been circulated since the Tang Dynasty, but it was only in the form of independent poems and short stories, and did not form a system. Therefore, he is the true authority on the subject of the Three Kingdoms.

In the copy he prepared, he considered the coexistence of interest and depth, so Su Yun was not worried that the appeal of this copy would be weaker than the Northwest War. Su Yun was even confident that after these people heard the beginning, this series would make them fascinated!
Because Su Yun adopted the method of Yi Zhongtian's commentary on the Three Kingdoms in later generations to reinterpret the characters, political events, wars, economy, etc.

Su Yun's understanding of the Three Kingdoms, his comprehension of economics, his personal experience of war, and his position as a high-ranking official in the government make his interpretation much better than Yi Zhongtian's.

If Yi Zhongtian in later generations could be so popular, Su Yun would be confident that he could do better than Yi Zhongtian.

Thinking of this, Su Yun put aside his concerns and started talking directly.

“I wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms because the world today is also a period of three kingdoms, so I want to provide some guidance for today’s situation by studying the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

So that the young talents of the Song Dynasty can have some understanding of the current situation, and even those with insight can realize the difficulty of the current situation..."

As soon as Su Yun opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of the teachers and students present.

They roughly knew that Su Yun would talk about the Three Kingdoms today, but they didn't expect that Su Yun would directly link the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the current situation.

Everyone suddenly became curious: Is there any connection between the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms today?

Everyone knows that the history of the Three Kingdoms is extremely exciting. It was a great era when many famous ministers and generals emerged. Our current era seems to be incomparable. But according to what Scholar Su said, can it still be compared?
This immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Su Yun then told the story.

Su Yun did not start by talking about the advantages and disadvantages of each of the Three Kingdoms, as well as the final gains and losses, but instead talked about how the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were formed, with Cao Cao and Liu Bei being the main characters of the narrative.

According to Su Yun's narration, an era of ever-changing situation, turbulent times, heroes emerging in large numbers and fascinating people is presented before everyone's eyes.

This experience is different from reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms by yourself. Su Yun is an extremely good speaker. In his mouth, all kinds of historical details become clearly discernible, making this attraction extremely full!
