so

Yinhu read the entire "Great Learning" for about two minutes, and he had a general understanding of the prince's annotations in his heart.If the emperor came to investigate and answer in this direction, there should be nothing wrong with it.After reading it through, it is a difficult 240 times.In his previous life, he was dissatisfied with reading and reciting the number of times. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, no one cared if he was lazy, as long as he could handle the emperor's father.But in this life, there are many pairs of eyes watching around him, not enough times to count, and the three great gods above his head-the ancestor, the emperor, and the prince-may not be able to spare him.

Yinhu could only read it over and over again with a bitter face. The paragraphs drawn by the prince were very long, accounting for almost half of the whole book of "University". Even if he just read the main text without reading the notes, he could read it six times in a quarter of an hour.But it is actually reasonable for the prince to leave these tasks.The first four chapters uploaded by the university are outlines, while Chapter 5 describes the essence of goodness, which Kangxi attached great importance to.Therefore, when Kangxi took the "University" test, [-]% of the questions were from the first five chapters uploaded.When Kangxi asked about his son, he didn't care if it was the first day of school, he just asked what came to mind, and he didn't care where you were.Yinhu naturally knew it too, so he could only torture his throat with the memorized things he had memorized long ago, insisting on drinking a sip of tea every six times, so as not to be unable to speak for a long time.

The rotating lecturer in the study room this day is Tang Bin, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.Tang Bin was born in a erudite CI department. Three years ago, he became the governor of Jiangsu. Now that he has returned to Beijing, Kangxi ordered him to take turns in the study.But Yinhu knew that after the crown prince left the cabinet to give lectures this year, the emperor would set up Zhan Shifu, and Tang Bin became Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, tied to the prince.Yinhu looked down on Tang Bin, and the facts also proved that Tang Bin was not the "Master of Neo Confucianism" conferred by Kangxi, and even the crown prince himself didn't think much of this old scholar.In fact, the prince didn't even think highly of the teachers sent by Kangxi, otherwise there wouldn't be the incident where Tang Bin, Geng Jie and others were about to fall down because they knelt for too long.In terms of knowledge and knowledge, Yinhu appreciates Gu Yanwu's "practical application of the world" more, but this cannot be said clearly (because Gu Yanwu is anti-Qing).

If Yinhu is a princeling, he must find a way to make Tang Bin look ugly at this time, so that he can't do what Zhan did.It's a pity that Yinhu is not.So Yinhu just continued to overload his thirsty throat.Six times in a quarter of an hour, 48 times in an hour, Yinhu reads from the third quarter of Yinchu to the end of Chenchu, and then he will read it a hundred times.Every prince in the study has his own master, only here Yinhu, Kangxi has not had time to assign, Tang Bin came over during the period and stubbornly wanted to explain to the eighth elder brother that "University" was uploaded first, but Yinhu pushed it down calmly, It's not too late to talk about memorization.After a hundred times, Yinhu felt quite bored. Seeing the thin paper on the table, he remembered what the prince said, and knew that if he didn't write anything, he would definitely not be able to explain it at night.So Rong Bao studied the ink, picked up the pen himself, and with a smug smile, wrote on the thin paper: "Is there any end to the way of learning? It's absurd to say that it stops at the best. What is goodness? What is ultimate goodness? Those who do not know what is good mean they do not know its end, and the whole article is like a rootless tree. However, why does the Great Learning rank among the Four Books and stand for thousands of years in the world? The minister is puzzled. "

After writing it, put it aside and wait for the ink to dry, Rong Bao said beside him: "Master, this is European style? It's really well written!"

In this life, Yinhu really practiced calligraphy for several years under the supervision of the Empress Dowager.When I first started practicing handwriting, I was less than two years old, and I couldn't control the pen firmly in my hand. In order to cultivate my mind, I practiced thousands of words a day. I stood at the table for several hours, writing like my arms were filled with lead.In his previous life, his attendant He Zhuo was also a great calligrapher. He once said that he could practice Ouyang Xun's calligraphy. Although Yinhu thought Ouyang Xun's calligraphy was elegant, he didn't think there was any need to practice calligraphy, so he didn't take it to heart.Since I have practiced in this life, I have simply learned European style, but I am young and lack strength. Although my writing is not bad, it is not very good.A six-year-old child can tell that this is European sports. If it is Fulton's family background, it will be fine, but the person who spoke is clearly Rongbao. It seems that Rongbao really has something special.Yinhu smiled and said: "You can still see that this is European style, it seems that it is not simple."

Rong Bao smiled and said: "The master is able to write well. The slave Mafa is good at calligraphy and painting, and the slave has been fascinated by it since childhood. How can I deserve the master's praise."

These words have made Yinhu's impression of Rongbao to a higher level. At first, he thought it was just a good-looking person, but he didn't think he really had some skills.

Only Rong Bao continued to say: "Master, forgive me for talking too much, but this note is for the crown prince?"

Yinhu immediately knew what Rongbao was going to say, it was nothing more than that the words were a bit outrageous, and advised him not to write like that.It seems that this child not only has some experience in calligraphy, but also has good knowledge.Yinhu patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You can just serve the pen and ink, these things, I have my own measure."

As he spoke, he began to write again. When he reached Chenzheng, he only wrote five notes, most of which were almost sophistical words as written in the first one.After finishing writing, I asked Rongbao to help fold it and put it in the book, and Yinhu started to read it for the last twenty times.

Before I finish reading, a little eunuch from Qianqing Palace came to report, saying that Lord Long Live is going to come when he goes to court, and you brothers, get ready to welcome him.So everyone came out from their own positions, and Yinfeng led them out of the door of the study, waiting in line on both sides.Yinhu is the youngest, so of course he is at the bottom.The fifth elder brother Yinqi stood in front of him and was on good terms with him again, so he whispered: "Khan Ama will come soon, I won't wait long, take this time to think about what you just recited, your first day Come on, I must check today." As he spoke, the expression on his face gradually became strange, obviously remembering the embarrassment of being admitted to the school by Kangxi when he came to the study on the first day.

Yinhu thanked in a hurry, and said: "If my younger brother can't answer later, the fifth brother should help. The fourth brother said that the emperor is the most lenient to the fifth brother, and Yinhu also wants to touch the fifth brother. What about the Holy Family?"

Yinqi is the most honest and honest person, and he presumably inherited the empress dowager's temper, saying: "You are still young, and the brothers will help, so don't point at me. Don't mention others, the crown prince also has to help."

Yinhu replied: "The crown prince has ordered me to be praised by the emperor's father today. He just let it go, Xiaoba can point at the fifth brother."

The chatter between the two was not loud, but Yinyou next to Yinhu and Yinzhen next to Yinqi could hear both. Yinyou had always been withdrawn, but Yinzhen had a well-behaved temper, and stared coldly at him. Yinhu, Yinhu and Yinqi immediately stood upright and stopped talking.

Kangxi also came quickly, everyone saluted, Kangxi did not ask the prince about his homework, but asked Yinzhen about it.Yinzhen was reading "Shangshu" at this time, the most obscure and difficult, but he could recite it proficiently and explain the meaning clearly, but there were a lot of pauses during the period, and it was not smooth enough.

Kangxi said "Shang Ke", and then asked Yinhu directly without asking anyone else: "The eighth elder brother came here on the first day today, what did you read?"

Yinhu replied: "Responding to the words of the emperor's father, the crown prince arranged for the minister to read "Great Learning"."

Kangxi nodded, and said: "Well, "The Great Learning" is the door for beginners to enter morality. This article is not long, can you recite it?"

Yinhu felt a little relieved, thinking that fortunately it was just a memorization test, so it wasn't too difficult, even if he didn't have the foundation of the previous life, it wouldn't be too difficult to memorize the text.He bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Kangxi reached out and took out a copy of "University" from the bookshelf, and said: "I heard that your Mandarin is very good. Now that you have read the classics of Sinology, you must not forget the Mandarin. Well then, you will memorize this chapter of "University" in the morning in Mandarin. Recite it once, let me and all your brothers listen to it." As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked!

All the princes have been made difficult by the emperor's father in the study room, and the question asked to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen just now is not an easy question to answer, but how can a prince who has just entered school translate an article that has not been explained into Manchu? ?For a moment, everyone seemed to forget that this was Yuqian, and everyone looked at Yinhu, and Yinrong also felt that this request was too much. Even though he had confidence in Yinhu, he wondered whether he could handle such a problem. Not knowing what to do, he was about to step forward to push the question for him, but he received a reassuring look from Yinhu.

Yinhu knew in his heart that this test was not easy for him.He had memorized the "Four Books" in Manchu, and the translation was very accurate, but if he recited it at this time, even if he changed some places, it would be too unrealistic and too eye-catching.Besides, since the emperor asked this question, it was obvious that he had offended him somewhere, and he wanted to make excuses, otherwise why would he be so difficult?If I answered too well, he wouldn't be able to get angry, and the anger in his heart would build up, and he would inevitably repeat the same mistakes in his previous life, picking some out-of-the-box mistakes, and causing Erniang to be blamed.After the last life, Yinhu already knew that there must always be room for everything, so that the emperor could have something to do. He might scold more in private, but he would never reprimand in public, and he was even quite satisfied with this kind of person.Yinzhen is an example. In his previous life, he was often scolded and said to be reckless in doing things, merciless and ungrateful, but in the end, the throne was left to him.

Yinhu's mind changed, and he suddenly thought about it.The reply has been changed to Mandarin, and said: "I dare not be praised by Khan Ama, my son's Mandarin is only moderate, he can speak some daily things, not to the point of being able to translate books." Kangxi was about to give up, but Yinhu continued to say , "Son, try to say it again. If it's not right, please forgive me. My son will just work harder when he goes back."

Next, Yinhu translated the first half of "The Great Learning" in a nondescript manner. He translated everything that was explained in the notes according to the meaning. If there was no corresponding word, he translated it word by word. If there is no corresponding word in Manchu, he directly transliterated it. , After translating the whole article, not a single word was omitted, the meaning sounded completely different, but it was hard for him to speak it fluently.Everyone is familiar with the university. Although they were stunned when they first heard it, they understood how he probably translated it. When he turned to the second sentence, everyone started to hold back their laughter. Kangxi couldn't hold back anymore, he laughed heartily, but he sternly said: "Nonsense!"

After hearing Kangxi's reprimand, his heart finally settled down. It seems that he has stabilized the emperor's anger?Immediately knelt down and said, "I am guilty."

Kangxi's mood was obviously much better than when he came here. Seeing his son kneeling obediently, he asked, "Oh? Tell me, what's the crime?"

Yinhu was about to answer, but Yinreng took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Ama Khan, according to my son, the eighth brother is not only innocent, but also meritorious. Ama Khan has been worried about the item-by-item matters of farming in Heilongjiang these days. It's been a long time since I saw Khan Amma laughing so heartily, and Yinhu made Khan Ama smile, this is considered a colorful dress to entertain relatives, is it a show of filial piety?"

Kangxi looked at Yinhu's eyes much softer, and said: "Get up, it's hard for you to recite sentences that don't make sense, and you can speak them in a smooth manner. The Mandarin is indeed not bad, but I really recited it, and the meaning is explained well. ...Well, I can’t say it’s completely wrong, most of it is right. No wonder the Empress Dowager likes you, but she knows how to be funny. Go back and translate this "Great Learning" into Mandarin, and submit it within ten days."

Yinhu kowtowed and said, "I obey the order" and got up.
