Young people were quick-witted, flexible and active, and easy to accept new things. When Meton entered the Imperial College, the teachers had a deep-rooted impression of him and had always been wary of hostility.
However, among the students of the Imperial College, except for a few students, most of them had changed from hostility to admiration toward Meton.
Young people didn't care about sectarian prejudice, but only admired talent. Meton had made many friends in the Imperial College, including Qin Huaiyu and the other two, Zu Mingjun, Kong Huisuo, and so on.
However, what Meton wanted to write was not Liang Qichao's version of "Young China" in the future. In the Tang dynasty, there was no environment like Liang Qichao at that time. If he tried to copy it by force, it would only be irrelevant.
What Meton really wanted to write was the recitation version of "Young China" in the future. Once this recitation version was published, no matter the occasion, it could excite and make people's blood boil.
Moreover, the Tang dynasty had only been established for 16 years, and it had only been passed down for two generations. Just like a teenager, it was thriving day by day, which was an excellent fit for this article. Meton changed China to the Tang dynasty and wrote a "Young Tang dynasty" that belonged to this era.
Meton carefully recalled this article. During his study in the future, Meton had been lucky enough to participate in this large-scale recitation. Although he was only a member of the corner, the feeling of blood boiling was still fresh in his memory. Now that he thought about it, every word was still in front of him.
"Heaven and earth are vast, and the universe is boundless. The young people of the Tang dynasty have an indomitable spirit and should strive for self-improvement." Meton straightened his body and solemnly wrote the first sentence.
Back then, when the Mo Family Village was in a desperate situation, he, as a 15-year-old boy, led the Mo Family Village into Chang 'an like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.
Young people can't be trusted! Many people laughed at him behind his back and called him a young boy. Wasn't that how the name Mo Jiazi came about?
However, he used facts to shut everyone's mouths. Mo Jiazi's nickname slowly turned from a derogatory one to a positive one.
"The young people of the Tang dynasty are the responsibility of the young people of the Tang dynasty. Therefore, today's responsibility does not lie with others, but with me, the youth. "
Meton smiled confidently. No one could have imagined that such a young boy could lead the School of Mo to rise. Moreover, he could stir up thousands of waves in the stagnant pool of theories of the various schools of thought in the Tang dynasty like a huge stone thrown into a lake.
As for the future of the Mo Family, Meton did not place much emphasis on the adults who had a fixed mindset. Instead, he placed his focus on the youths who had a lively mind and could easily accept new things.
"A young man's wisdom is the wisdom of the country; a young man's wealth is the wealth of the country; a young man's strength is the strength of the country; a young man's independence is the independence of the country; a young man's freedom is the freedom of the country; a young man's progress is the progress of the country; a young man's strength is the strength of the country."
At this time, there was no such thing as Europe. Meton changed it to Jiuzhou, which was in line with the context.
Imperial Academician Ma Jiayun's eyes never left Meton. His current thoughts about Meton were extremely complicated. It seemed easy to write about the people's prosperity and the country's strength, and some of them even repeated the same old tune, but it was not easy to be outstanding.
However, Mo Jiazi could not be judged by common sense. He had fought back in impossible situations and turned the tables time and time again. He did not have the confidence to do it this time.
He did not wish for Mo Jiazi to achieve first place in six subjects, but he also wished for Mo Jiazi to be able to write an article under his nose that would be passed down through the ages like "Teachings of a Teacher" and "Three Essays on Teacher's Grace".
Under his attention, Ma Jiayun acutely sensed that Meton did not fit in with the surrounding students. He was like a crane in a flock of chickens. The other students were either deep in thought or buried in writing. However, the feeling that Meton gave him was not that of a student in an examination hall. Instead, he vaguely had the confidence of a generation's literary hero. He also had a kind of arrogance that said, "If I can't do it, who can do it?"
Confidence, yes, confidence. Mo Jiazi's confidence actually overshadowed the demeanor of the three princes. Ma Jiayun's eyes flashed and his heart was slightly excited. Perhaps today, an article that would shock the world would be born in front of him.
"The red sun rises, and its path is bright. The river flows out, and a vast ocean flows. The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and its scales and claws fly. The young tiger roars in the valley, and the hundred beasts are frightened.
The falcon tests its wings, and the wind inhales the dust. The rare flower is just born, and it's majestic. The stem is about to rise, and it's about to shine.
The sky is blue, and the earth is yellow. Even if there's an eternity, there's eight wastelands. The future is like the sea, and the future is long. "
Meton's hands did not stop. After finishing in one breath, he raised his head and looked around, only to see the youthful faces around him. After today's Annual Examination, this group of students would definitely walk out of the Imperial College. They would be like the rising sun, with unlimited potential, and also like the hidden dragon coming out of the abyss, and the young tiger coming out of the mountain.
They began to express their ambitions.
No matter how tactful they would become in the future, or even change, at least at this moment, their thoughts were sincere. A fearless young man who longed for the future. How could such a young man not be praised?
"My beautiful young man, the Tang dynasty, and the heavens are not old! My magnificent young man, the Tang dynasty, and the country is boundless!
My magnificent young man, the Tang dynasty, and the heavens are not old! My magnificent young man, the Tang dynasty, and the country is boundless! "
Modun wrote it twice, and only then did the excitement in his heart leak out from his pen. Since he had come to this magnificent era, how could he be mediocre and do nothing? He should be like an eagle, spreading his wings and soaring, an eagle striking the nine heavens.
Imperial Academician Ma Jiayun had stopped behind Meton at some point. After he took a glance at him, he could not take his eyes off him.
When he was young, he was also like Mo Jiazi in front of him, confident, fearless, and indomitable. He did not know when he began to change, and the sharp spirit he once had dissipated. As time passed, his edges and corners were slowly smoothed out, and he became tactful, sophisticated, and focused. The young man who once wanted to conquer the world gradually lost himself.
When Imperial Academician Ma Jiayun looked at Mo Jiazi again, it was as if he was looking at the young man who carried a bag of books alone and traveled thousands of miles to Chang 'an City. The passionate years of the past came to his mind again.
"It is an Old Man's honor to have such a young man as my disciple," Ma Jiayun said excitedly.
For a long time, the people of the Imperial College were dissatisfied with Mo Jiazi joining the Imperial College. However, in his opinion, it was the Imperial College's greatest honor to have a student like Mo Jiazi.
At this moment, the Imperial College's Annual Examination was coming to an end. The students put down their pens and ink and finished their essays.
All of them were brimming with confidence, all of them expressing their ambitions to their heart's content. They believed that their essays were truly a strategy for governing the country. With this method, the Great Tang would definitely be able to prosper and stand proudly in the world.
This was a young man!
