克宋棗陽、光化等軍，光、隨、郢、復等州，及襄陽、德安府，凡得名士數十人，收伊、洛諸書送燕都，立宋大儒周惇頤祠，建太極書院，延儒士趙復、王粹等講授其間，遂通聖賢學，慨然欲以道濟天下。 He captured Zaoyang, Guanghua, and other garrisons and the prefectures of Guang, Sui, Ying, Fu, Xiangyang, and De'an; he gathered dozens of eminent scholars, sent books from the Yi and Luo regions to Yan, built a shrine to Zhou Dunyi and the Taiji Academy, and invited Zhao Fu, Wang Cui, and others to lecture there, opening the way to sage learning and resolving to save the world through the Way.
