Planting a Tech Tree in Three Kingdoms
Chapter 4
For several days in a row, Nan Xing began to please Xun Shuang deliberately.
Going out to greet him on his knees, pouring water to say hello, as long as he can think of ways to respect his teacher, Nan Xing has done almost all of them.
Today, too.
"Sir, drink some water." Nan Xing poured Xun Shuang a glass of warm water graciously, with a pure smile on his face and eyes full of admiration.
She has been insisting on pouring water for several days.However, Xun Shuang didn't like this at all.
Just when Nan Xing raised his hands sour and froze in place, Xun Shuang snorted coldly and told her to put down the water and copy "Spring and Autumn" again.
After Nan Xing saluted, he stepped back and walked to his seat.
While copying the book, she secretly glanced at Xun Shuang unwillingly.Seeing Mr. Ci Ming with a serious face quietly pick up the water glass and take a sip of water, Nan Xing smiled, looked away, and began to finish today's homework seriously.
While writing seriously, she did not see Xun Shuang's thoughtful gaze.
After several days of teaching and observation, Xun Shuang believed a little bit what the housekeeper said on the first day.This kid might really be a genius.
Day by day, under the mutual strategy of the two sides, the relationship between Xun Shuang and Nan Xing has improved a lot. Xun Shuang even talked about the current politics intentionally or unintentionally during the break.
Nan Xing usually pretends not to understand when she hears these words, after all, she and Xun Shuang have different standpoints.
Xun Shuang is one of the representatives of the gentry group, and her adoptive father is the backbone of the eunuch group.Nan Xing didn't dare to go one step further in this kind of matter.
But there are times when you say something.
"...His Majesty followed the eunuch's advice and handed over the world to a group of scumbags. I despise it." Xun Shuang suddenly commented like this without knowing what stimulated him that day.
Hmm, Nan Xing shook his head and read "Zuo Zhuan", once again pretending that he didn't understand.
After saying a few more words, Xun Shuang saw that Nan Xing did not respond, and felt a little puzzled, "Could I have read it wrong? This child is not that smart?"
It never occurred to him that it was because Nan Xing was too smart that he was unwilling to talk about politics, after all, his life was important.
Xun Shuang wanted to give up the test, but felt a little pity, so he planned to try it one last time.
After asking Nan Xing a few routine questions, seeing Nan Xing's more and more natural answers, Xun Shuang revealed his real purpose.
He pretended to be a little puzzled, and asked to himself, "Why is the Holy Majesty so close to the villain, but the far-off scholars?"
"Beside the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!" Nan Xing still habitually answered the teacher's questions while reading a book, and didn't realize what he said at all.
"Oh? I don't know if Ah Xing can explain to the teacher?"
Confused?What are you confused about?Nan Xing put down the bamboo slips, raised his head and looked at his outstanding teacher, his eyes were full of doubts.
"I don't know why Ah Xing said the phrase 'how can others sleep soundly beside the couch'?" Xun Shuang stroked his beard and said calmly.
But his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. He felt that he had a certain understanding of the king and the world, but the casual words of the five-year-old in front of him were so sharp, pointing directly to the core of the problem.
The gentry is powerful and intricate.Above the court, the scholars are allied with each other, and there is a faint tendency to surpass the monarchy. Of course, the emperor will not trust these ministers.The eunuch has been with the emperor since he was a child, and because of his status, he can't really take power, so the emperor naturally trusts him.
Xun Shuang thought about Nan Xing's words in his heart, and Nan Xing was also using his brain.
Careless!Nan Xing reprimanded himself in his heart.However, there is no way for her to take back what she said. What is needed now is an explanation of this sentence that neither attacks the gentry group represented by Xun Shuang nor attacks Zhang Gui.
so hard!Nan Xing wrinkled his face, struggling to grasp the letter in front of him.
Xun Shuang saw her embarrassment, and said with a light smile, "It's okay, I don't blame you for being a teacher. You are young, and you think a lot!"
It's as if you weren't trying to test me.Nan Xing also reacted at this time, complaining in his heart.
"Ahem, since you said that, the student is blunt." Just as she was able to express her opinion to Zhang Gui, she quietly glanced at the maid who was quietly serving at the door, cleared her throat, and started her performance.
"When the Holy One was young, he could only rely on two kinds of power in the court." Nan Xing stretched out two fingers to signal Xun Shuang, "Mother clan and eunuch."
"My mother's uncle's family has a reasonable reason to hold power, so the Holy Majesty is naturally worried. As for the eunuchs, it is impossible to hold power legally."
After finishing speaking, Nan Xing secretly glanced at Xun Shuang's face, and when he found that his face was calm, he continued to speak boldly.
"So, the Holy Majesty is naturally closer to the eunuchs, because in fact they will not threaten the ruling. As for not trusting the gentry, and even acquiescing to the eunuchs to fight against the gentry, of course, because no one would like to sleep by their bed at any time. will eat its own tiger."
Nan Xing said the last sentence in a very small voice, but Xun Shuang must have heard it.He raised his eyebrows, then nodded slightly.
But he didn't praise Nan Xing, instead he said seriously: "This kind of thing is not allowed to be told to anyone in the future." If one is not careful, it may lead to death.
Nan Xing nodded and muttered, "Students don't trust the teacher!"
"As a teacher, of course I wouldn't say it, but your stepfather has many enemies, so you won't let it go." Xun Shuang taught Nan Xing.
"Then you mean that you won't be an enemy of Father?" Nan Xing continued, she wanted Xun Shuang to admit that he would not be an enemy of Zhang Gui. He is a gentleman, and he would not go back on his promise.In this way, Zhang Gui's road ahead will be easier.
"As a teacher, I didn't say... well, well, I can only guarantee that I will not participate in the affairs of the court, and I can't guarantee other teachers." Under the gaze of Nan Zhoupan, Xun Shuang promised helplessly.
This child is eccentric, and there are traps everywhere in his words, and he accidentally fell into it.
"You actually set yourself up for the teacher, you're quite courageous!"
Xun Shuang tapped Nan Xing, who was pretending to be stupid, with the slip in his hand, and pretended to be angry and said, "Go, copy the "Book of Filial Piety" again."
Such a genius can't grow crooked.
……
Xun Yu had been waiting for his uncle to return home early.Originally, my father came to Luoyang to pick up Uncle Ciming, and took him to see the world, but he never thought that the attendant Zhang would detain his uncle, and their schedule would be put on hold like this.
Father first went back to Yingchuan to discuss the matter with the tribe, and he was placed here with Uncle Ciming.
"Why hasn't Uncle Ciming come home yet?" Xun Yu, who is only four years old, is not yet calm in the future, and his young heart is full of worries about his uncle.In his heart, eunuchs are not considered good people, and every time Xun Shuang went to Zhang Gui's mansion, he was extremely worried.
Fortunately, Xun Shuang's ox cart appeared at the end of the road without making him wait long.
"Uncle!" Xun Yu ignored the etiquette of the nobles and ran forward a few steps.
"Ah Yu, how good is he today?" Xun Shuang knew that he would return home late, so he must have worried his nephew.So instead of pointing out his etiquette, he bent down and hugged Xiaodouding, jokingly.
"Good--" Xun Yu said in a long voice, paused for a moment and then asked, "Why is uncle coming home late today?"
"Uncle asked Ah Yu, do you know the meaning of 'how can others sleep soundly beside the couch'? If you answer the question, uncle will tell you why you came back late today, okay?"
When Xun Yu heard his uncle's question, he struggled to get out of his uncle's arms.After Xun Shuang put him down, Xun Yu bowed and said: "Yu knows, let the junior think about it before answering uncle." After speaking, he ran away on his short legs.
The conversation was divided into two parts, Xun Shuang was talking about his nephew on one side, and Zhang Gui was talking to Nan Xingye on the other side.
"You and that Xun Shuang chatted happily today."
"Just chatting." Nan Xing lowered his head, intending to brush off today's conversation.
It's a pity that Zhang Gui is not someone who can be easily fooled by her. After hearing Nan Xing's answer, he chuckled and said, "You can talk to the Holy One? You two really hit it off, teacher and student!"
He did it on purpose, Nan Xing whispered in his heart.Zhang Gui even knew what they said today, so it was impossible for him not to know that Xun Shuang was looking for trouble for nothing in the past two days.
How could the two of them hit it off?
"I'm just a yellow-haired kid, and my husband has no official position. No matter how much I talk, it's just small talk."
Nan Xing lightly took a sip of the cheese in front of him, and wrinkled his face tightly.People in the Han Dynasty were not used to drinking milk, and today's milk also has a strong fishy smell.Everyone is used to drinking this fermented cheese.
But this cheese is extremely sour and has absolutely no modern delicacy.The first time Nan Xing drank it, she was almost sent away on the spot. For a while, she even suspected that Zhang Gui wanted to poison herself with cheese.
But in order to get enough nutrition, she endured it!
"Your Majesty is not in good health. There has been a lot of trouble in the court recently. It's best not to say those words." Zhang Gui frowned as he watched his stepdaughter drink milk. I really don't know why she insisted on drinking milk. This kind of thing, "The big families are not good things. The Xun family has stood for a thousand years and survived for three generations. It is not what they told the world."
He actually agrees with Nan Xing's sobriety, unlike those rotten Confucians who have been brainwashed by the "Book of Sages", who are polite and honest every day, and don't know that they are actually a knife in the hands of the Holy Master.
However, it is best not to let people listen to those ideas, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Nan Xing drank the cheese while holding his breath, put down the cup and nodded.
In fact, she discovered today that those words can almost be said to be outrageous, contempt for the imperial power, especially the understanding of the emperor's means, can basically cure the crime of "presuming the holy will".But Xun Shuang, as a representative of the gentry, did not scold her, but agreed with her slightly.
The Xun family is just an example, and other gentry families should have the same attitude.
After all, this is an era when the idea of loyalty to the emperor is not so important. The aristocratic families inherit their gentry spirit, knowledge wealth and blood, and they don't really care who the emperor is.No one who is the emperor can shake their status in the clan.
The Qing emperor's side was just an excuse to keep his own cake and eradicate the power of eunuchs.
After thinking for a while, Nan Xing said, "Anyway, you are relying on the Holy Majesty and the one in the harem. There are many factions in the imperial court, you have to clean yourself up!" There are still two years until the death of Emperor Hanheng!It's too early to stand in line now.
Zhang Gui smiled and said, "You think I've been fooling around for so many years? Do you need your advice?" As long as the emperor survives, Zhang Gui, an old fox, will be a staunch emperor party.
The author has something to say:
I couldn't hold it anymore, let Xun Lingjun out for a while, even though it was a young version.
Judging from the timeline, it is now AD 165, the heroine is 5 years old, and Ling Jun is [-] years old.
Going out to greet him on his knees, pouring water to say hello, as long as he can think of ways to respect his teacher, Nan Xing has done almost all of them.
Today, too.
