That little fly

Emperor Jiayou's expression was a little tense.

I guess Shui Qingqian was still dreaming, and followed the crowd to salute in a daze, not paying attention to the solemnity of the room, let alone the various gazes falling on him.When he rubbed his eyes sleepily, he saw Shi Ke as soon as he opened them, and finally...

"Grandpa, can I go home?" The tone was aggrieved.

Emperor Jiayou didn't hold back, and smiled.This kid is so well raised.With a bright face and full of blessings, it makes people like it. Emperor Jiayou was in a bad mood because he fell asleep in class, and he sat down, flushed the water and waved, "Why are you in a hurry to go back? Home? Have you learned all the lessons today?" the emperor asked.

Shui Qingqian became more sober now, he saw not only his grandfather, but also Grandpa Xie, and many other adults in official uniforms, as well as this old man who was standing half a step in front of all the officials who was asking questions , wearing a black damask gown with twelve coats of arms, with golden silk coiled dragons rolling on the cuffs, and a white jade belt with a tiger's head around his waist, which is very rich and majestic.

Uh, this is the emperor, Shui Qingqian understands.

The emperor... looks a bit like Brother Azhao.Clear water conclusion.

Because the emperor is good-looking, Shui Qingqian decided to give him some face and did not continue today's performance art with the theme of 'cold violence'.

When Shui Qingqian thought about these thoughts and looked at Emperor Jiayou, when his grandfather didn't feel anything, he made the teaching doctor very nervous.What did Shui Qingqian learn?The child has already fallen asleep, what do you think he can learn in the morning?According to Shui Qingqian's performance, the gentleman should give him a few rulers to teach him a lesson, but Dr. Qian dare not be rash, and it has nothing to do with him being the son of a first-class prince.It must be admitted that it was Dr. Qian himself who had no idea. He was just an ordinary sixth-rank lecturer in the Hongwen Museum, giving lectures to Fei Tian'er?His authentic master is Zhong Jun, a great Confucian who once served as the prince and tutor.

After Shui Qingqian looked at the emperor, he said, "Sir, I will start with the second chapter of "The Hundred Chapters of the Philosophers". I haven't read it before, so..."

"So I didn't understand, and I fell asleep when I found it boring, didn't I?" The emperor made a comment himself, and even glanced at Shi Ke, which was not without reproach.Look at how you teach your children. The "Hundreds of Masters" doesn't teach it. Good children are almost abandoned by you.

Shui Qingqian was rushed to answer half of what he said. He turned back to look at Shi Ke. Shi Ke was stared at for no reason and was upset. , I asked my husband for books to study by myself.”

"Isn't this very good." When Emperor Jiayou heard this, his mood immediately improved, "Then why did you fall asleep again later?"

Shui Qingqian looked at Dr. Qian, "Mr. has been talking about the second chapter of "Yan Yuan"."

Everyone was waiting for Shui Qingqian's post, but Shui Qingqian looked back at them suspiciously, and then turned back to look for Shi Ke.

Well, he's done?Emperor Jiayou recalled, "You said that Mr. has been talking about "Yan Yuan", but what happened afterwards?"

"Mr. kept thinking about Yan Yuan, didn't say anything new, and then I fell asleep." Shui Qing took a deep breath as it should.

Dr. Qian: ...

"So have you learned it?" the official asked.

"Yan Yuan asked about benevolence. The Master said: 'Self-denial and rites are benevolence. One day self-restraint and rites are restored, and the world will be benevolent. Is benevolence up to oneself, but to others?' Yan Yuan said: 'Ask its purpose.' The Master said:' Don't look at anything wrong with it, don't listen to anything wrong with it, don't speak anything wrong with it, don't move anything wrong with it." Yan Yuan said: "Although you are not sensitive, please speak well."..." This is a very long article, don't worry about whether the master has said it or not. Speaking, the water is clear and shallow, and the back is smooth.

It is good to be able to recite the whole text, but with the standard requirements of the etiquette class, recitation is not considered a skill.Because when the schoolchildren were enlightened, many teachers would choose from "Hundreds of Philosophers" to talk about, and it was the same in the first two years of Taixue. They talked about it roughly, and then continued to talk about it when they grew up.If he becomes an official in the court in the future, the great Confucianists of Lusong Academy will choose some excerpts and lectures. "Hundreds of Masters" is so important, in fact, it is rare that the whole class can't memorize "Yan Yuan".Considering that Shui Qingqian recited it for the first time today, it is very good that he can do this.But Emperor Jiayou decided not to encourage the child's pride, so the sage taught him, "Knowing how to recite does not mean knowing how to understand."

Shui Qingqian was really confused this time, and looked to Grandpa Zhong for help, why did the emperor say he 'doesn't understand'?Does he look like an idiot?

Before Mr. Zhong could speak, Shi Ke made his move first, holding his grandson in front of him to protect him, "Tell grandpa, what is this article about?"

"The main thing is to talk about benevolence. Yan Yuan asked how to do benevolence. His teacher said: 'Restrain yourself and do everything according to the requirements of etiquette. This is benevolence. Once you do this, everything in the world will be attributed to Benevolence..." Shui Qingqian tried to explain in very straightforward words, although he didn't think there was anything to explain, and it wasn't foreign language that needed to be translated, it was just that the ancient language was slightly different from the current wording and sentence.

Mr. Zhong stroked his beard and nodded. That's why he recommended Shui Qingqian to go directly to the ceremony class. His young disciples never need to waste time on endorsements and basic interpretations.The explanation is comprehensive and detailed, so far as this is concerned, no one can say that he does not understand it, even if it is his first time reading it.

Seeing Shi Ke, he asked again, "What do you think?"

This problem belongs to the category of education in the ritual class.But Shui Qingqian has just come into contact with this thing, and it is very impressive to be able to memorize and understand the articles, and then put forward his own ideas on the words in the book, quote from many sources, discuss and comment, which should not be understood by him at this stage.It's just that everyone couldn't help but be curious. Before Fei Tian'er was famous, and later he was guaranteed by Lord Zhong. Everyone, including the emperor, paid more attention.

After Shui Qingqian thought about it seriously, "It's a very lofty moral code, but it's too ideal and useless."

"The words of a child with a yellow mouth."

"Sure enough, the child is still young."

"After all, no one is born knowing it."

……

After a while, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Why do you say it's useless?"

Shui Qingqian looked at the saint strangely, "If it's useful, and everyone doesn't make mistakes, then why do we need the law?"

Advocating legalism, family history, is he really a grandson of Shi Zilu?

Shoufu smiled and justified the name of Confucianism, "This is the teaching of Confucianism, self-cultivation and self-cultivation. To educate scholars, you must demand yourself with such standards. The so-called self-cultivation, family governance, and world governance, so that you can be a good official in the future."

Shui Qingqian pouts her mouth, clearly expressing her disbelief, but she doesn't speak out to refute.

Tai Changqing smoothed things over by the side, "Education in the book, with the highest standards and strict requirements..." Tai Changqing originally wanted to say that most mortals in the world can't do it, so it's not surprising that it can't be because most people can't do it. It is useless to say that Confucianism and benevolence are useless.However, he stopped talking halfway through.Following this line of thought, the people in the room already had a weird feeling at this moment.yes.If "restraining oneself and restoring rites" is really useful, then what does the central inspectorate do, and what do the corrupt officials who have been executed do?Don't you say that they haven't read "Yan Yuan", so, is the Confucian thought of enlightenment really "too ideal and unrealistic"?

There was an eerie silence in the classroom, Shui Qingqian tugged on Shi Ke's sleeve, he only cared, "Can I go home now?"

Shi Ke looked at Emperor Jiayou's face, and had no choice but to coax him, "School is not over yet."

"Can't you leave after studying?"

rational!

Shi Ke flicked his sleeves, but he couldn't control it.

Dr. Qian looked at the different faces of the officials and the chief attorney, and hurriedly smoothed things over, "Next, we will talk about the third chapter of "Yong Ye."

Shui Qingqian looked at Dr. Qian, and explained very embarrassedly, "I've finished reading this too."

"Then..." Dr. Qian suddenly had a terrible idea, "Have you finished reading this book?"

Qingshui nodded.

"Understand?"

"Sir, you can take the exam." Luzi was not happy.

Ok.

Really tested.

It's really not hard to live.

Emperor Jiayou looked at the fluent conversation over there, couldn't help looking at Shi Ke suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "He really didn't learn it before?"

"The officials should ask his master this question. I don't know."

Dr. Liang, who was in charge of the assessment in the morning, also started to feel confused. In the morning, Shui Qingqian did not know what to ask, but maybe the child was making a fuss.Early in the morning, that little face looked tense.

There was a change of people in the exam. Zhai Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites, was the chief examiner of the previous exam, and he went into battle in person.This guy is very cunning, isn't everyone wondering about this little Fei Tian'er's ability?Zhai Shangshu took out the new work "Nong Shuo" by Mr. Liu, a famous scholar in the dynasty.Zhai Shangshu took advantage of the test just now, and asked the student next to him to copy a copy, without annotations or explanations, and showed the clean article to Shui Qingqian, and then waited to see Shui Qingqian's reaction.

Shui Qingqian finished watching the effort of two sticks of incense.

"Do you understand?" Mr. Zhai asked with a smile, stroking his beard.

"I can understand most of it."

"Not bad, not bad." Master Zhai boasted, but he didn't believe it in his heart, "Then can you tell me?"

"The Holy King is above, and the people are not hungry, they must be able to plow and eat..." The immature voice echoed in the quiet school, and the adults who had the honor to appreciate this "Nong Shuo" in the morning tried their best to hold back the surprise on their faces With a clear expression on his face, he listened to Shui Qingqian reciting this "Nong Shuo" in a correct voice.

A cup of tea is enough.

This is a very realistic article that analyzes the current agricultural policy of the imperial court, and it can be regarded as an old-fashioned talk in the strategy of governing the country.Dongzhou Empire is now commercial, and the handicraft industry is increasingly developed. Some scholars say that "all the prosperity of the world is for profit". It can bring wealth, so in farming, there are fewer people who grow food.But no matter how many mountains of gold and silver there are, people must eat rice to live.Therefore, under such a contradiction, people of insight both inside and outside the court expressed their worries and resolved them together.

The article that Shui Qingqian is talking about now is written by a great Confucianist of Neo-Confucianism. The great Confucianist has a literary talent and a high reputation. The writing is beautiful and the words are rigorous, but it does not mean that the viewpoint is necessarily correct.So, after memorizing it, Shui Qingqian had her own idea. "Money and food are earned, not saved. I think, if you are worried that all farmers will go into business and there is not enough food to eat, then use commercial tax to subsidize it, reduce land tax, use commercial to support farmers, how can it be said It's such a hassle..."

It doesn't matter whether the idea of ​​clear water is naive or useful.The important thing is that his reaction tells everyone that he memorized the whole article after reading it once, not memorizing it by rote, he understood it, including all kinds of people's livelihood data and various professional knowledge in it.What's more, he not only understood it, but also put forward his own idea, and you can't describe this idea as 'whimsical' or 'childish and ridiculous', it is a very economical and practical idea.

The room was extremely quiet, and after a long while, Xie Shoufu sighed, "You have a photographic memory, and you are born with wisdom. Today I am really eye-opening." Especially this little one that is very difficult to deal with, only one less than ten At the age of [-], even Zhuzi Baipian was the first time I read the little one, a real little flying boy, his future, the future of the empire, was beyond imagination.

Now, this little one tugged at the corner of Shi Ke's robe again, whining and whining about to play tricks, "Grandpa——" the soft and waxy child's voice made the old elders grow longer.

The crowd looked at him feebly, they were both funny and helpless at the idea of ​​this little thing insisting on going home.

This time, Luzi has learned to be smart, so he didn't directly say to go home,

"……I'm thirsty."
