Ten days later, in the Wenhua Hall.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was sitting in the center, and on both sides and at the lecturer's position, standing or standing, were more than a dozen lecturers from the Hanlin Academy.
That day was the day when Zhu Houzhao finished his retreat and took the exam. Zhu Youtang specially arranged such an assessment to examine his son's progress in the Four Books.
At this moment, in the inner curtain of Wenhua Hall, Zhu Youtang also invited Zhang Zhou, who had been teaching his son in Wenhua Hall for the past ten days. Dai Yi and others stood behind him to witness together.
Wang Hao had just been promoted to the bachelor's degree, and he took the lead in the exam that day. Next to him were Li Jie, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Jiao Fang, the bachelor of lectures.
"Wan Zhang asked, Dare to ask what is the purpose of communication? Mencius said it is respectful."
Wang Hao gave me a head start. This is Mencius's part. The examination method is a bit like the imperial examination. Ask questions.
It is relatively easy to examine the meaning of the classics. Basically, it is to give a paragraph and then ask the prince to compare it with the annotations of the Four Books to make some understandings. Now Zhu Houzhao has not learned to write articles, let alone eight-part essay. In fact, it is very rare to be able to recite the corresponding annotations.
Even Wang Hao did not dare to think that this child could really recite it
I am afraid that he could even recite the original text of the Four Books with difficulty.
This section is a dialogue between Wan Zhang and Mencius, a question and answer method. Mencius explains the principles of life, and this part is about how to make friends and give gifts to each other.
Zhu Houzhao said, "Ji means to receive. Intercourse means that people exchange money and silk with rituals."
Let's start with the annotations of Zhu Xi's Collection of Mencius.
Zhang Zhou explained the meaning of the Four Books to him, which was exactly the same. He listed the original text first, then the annotations, and then explained it again using ancient grammar, and then explained it again in vernacular. Some even led to a story. , use allusions to illustrate the actual purpose of this passage.
This allowed Zhu Houzhao to see an unprecedented way of understanding the Four Books.
Because even if someone explained something to him in vernacular in the past, which was very rare, he still took the initiative to ask.
Like Zhang Zhou, picking out paragraphs, sentences, and words to speak bit by bit in a popular way is something that no gentleman from the Hanlin Academy or even the Ming Dynasty would do.
“It is disrespectful to repeatedly refuse other people’s gifts. Why does Mencius say that when the Lord gives a gift, you have to consider whether the gift is in line with justice or not before accepting it. It is disrespectful, so it is inconvenient to refuse. Wan Zhang said, I said, I don’t need to refuse his gift with words, I refuse with my heart, saying in my heart that this is the ill-gotten gains he got from the people, and then use excuses to refuse, isn’t that okay? Mencius said that he interacted with me according to the rules, and he followed the rules. Etiquette touches me, so even Confucius will accept gifts."
Zhu Houzhao almost used the most popular tone to explain a very complicated-sounding "but not respectful" principle.
The general meaning is the last two sentences. People interact with you according to the rules and give you gifts. You don’t need toConsider whether his gift comes from a legitimate source and just accept it.
Of course, this does not mean that this is completely correct, but it is how it should be when interacting with friends.
Zhu Houzhao talked about this, and then turned around and explained it best with Mencius's annotations: "But, it means to give something back if you don't accept it. What's more, it's not clear. In the midst of thousands of doubts and interactions, something has been resolved. If so, people will think it is disrespectful. Why is it that Mencius said that it was a gift from the venerable master, but secretly calculated why he got this thing? He does not know whether it is justified or not. It must be justified and then he can accept it. Otherwise, he will reject it. So But it's disrespectful."
When Wang Hao heard this, he already looked at Zhu Houzhao with admiration.
He also didn’t expect that this naughty kid might not be able to memorize the original text of the Four Books ten days ago, but after more than ten days, he would be like this
The emperor initially asked We went to the East Palace to explain to the prince, but we were not allowed to go there for more than ten days. What on earth did the prince go through to make his studies improve so rapidly?
Listen to the meaning, the prince has a very solid understanding, and it is popular. Even the unconventional can be spoken out.
Mencius has a pretty good grasp. Let me give you another Analects question first to see if you are cramming.
Wang Hao said, "The next question comes from the Analects of Confucius. The Confucius said that Hui is not someone who helps me. He said everything to me."
Zhu Houzhao said confidently, "Say , The sound is pleasant. Help me, if Zi Xia starts to have doubts, he understands the words of the sage silently and has no doubts. In fact, I am very happy about it. "Master Hui said, how could he really help me?" Questions and answers with the prince.
In comparison, Zhu Houzhao talked more, and after experiencing thirteen days of confinement, Zhu Houzhao burst out with a vigorous vitality, and his voice was full of energy when he spoke. The whole hall was almost Only his voice echoed.
Zhu Youtang hid in the inner curtain and listened. He was very nervous at first and clenched his fists.
He is also very worried that his son has not studied well. He failed the exam today and was scolded by his teacher, which not only embarrassed him as a father, but also failed his hard work.
But after seeing the content of this exam and his son's performance on the spot
Zhu Youtang gradually relaxed.
So far, Zhu Houzhao can answer all the questions fluently.
The confidence on his son’s face is not fake.
There is no collusion between examiners and candidates, because Zhu Houzhao came to the exam right after getting up in the morning, and Zhang Zhou and not even Zhang Zhou had the opportunity to come into contact with these East Palace lecturers.
Besides, doing this has no meaning to Zhang Zhou and Zhu Houzhao.
"Bingkuan, the prince has learned very well."
Zhu Youtang couldn't help but think of Zhang Zhou, the biggest contributor to this matter.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the prince is smart, and he just doesn't study. He is locked up to study. It's okay to use it once in a while. If he uses it a lot, it's fine."I'm afraid it won't be effective again, but it will make them feel tired and disgusted, which will be detrimental to their future studies. ”
“Yeah. Zhu Youtang smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "How did you let him learn it?"
It was difficult for Zhang Zhou to answer this question.
"Chen Just teach with your heart. Most of the time, the prince recited the meaning of the scriptures while the minister prepared for the exam, forming a kind of example. As long as the minister worked hard, he also had to work hard. "
"Oh. example. "Zhu Youtang remembered it in his heart.
Zhang Zhou seemed very humble.
Teaching and educating people also requires experience. Zhang Zhou used to think that he was just a prank. Teacher, this skill should be the last to be used in the Ming Dynasty, and may not even be used in a lifetime.
But now it has become his trump card.
Teaching is nothing more than treating others with sincerity. Don't put yourself in a superior position as a teacher. Discuss with students, and sometimes even ask students for advice, and then make progress together. It is not only teaching, but also making friends. Talking with each other more than just talking. The principle is useful.
And this student, Zhu Houzhao, is really too smart.
But he is too distracted and refuses to learn.
After one year, he is too smart. In class, all Chinese is learned by rote.
It’s strange that he can concentrate on it.
It’s hard for Zhu Youtang to set a goal for himself. He is the only younger brother. He's dead, he doesn't even have a competitor, what can he do if he doesn't learn what he can do? I can't be the emperor
Asking someone else to stay with Zhu Houzhao in a dark room for ten days may not have any positive effects. .
That is, Zhang Zhou
In fact, he finished teaching in seven days. In the remaining three days, Zhang Zhou continued to teach Zhu Houzhao knowledge that did not belong to this era while taking mock exams. Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry to go to his father to take the exam, because Zhu Houzhao was used to Zhang Zhou telling him interesting things by his side.
Zhu Youtang said with satisfaction, "Bingkuan, you are not a Jinshi. , but you know how to cultivate disciples better than the Imperial Academy in the East Palace. If you become a Jinshi in the future, you will definitely become a model for literati in the world. ”
That’s right
I haven’t even passed the Jinshi exam yet, and you all think about arranging for me to enter the Hanlin Academy
We have no idea. Different, perhaps in your emperor's eyes, it is very easy to get a Jinshi, and you can pass it casually, because all you see are Jinshi.
This is called survivor bias.
Have you ever seen those failed students who shed tears after looking at the gold medal all their lives?
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. ”
“Bingkuan, it’s been a few days since you entered the palace. Hurry up and go back to see your family.” The Empress Dowager has also mentioned you recently, so I will go see you in my spare time and wish you well. "
"Yes. "
"Xiao Jing, send something to Bingkuan. "Zhu Youtang said, "Bingkuan, you don't have to refuse. They are all for daily expenses and can be used. It’s been really hard these daysThank you for your hard work, I can't help but want to witness the day you enter the Hanlin Academy."
Zhu Youtang will stay to encourage the East Palace to talk about officials and encourage his son.
The father and son also have nearly half Yue has not met before, and Zhu Youtang plans to take his son to see the queen and princess, and to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Queen Mother. At the same time, he will also take Zhu Houzhao to see Zhu Youtang who has been deposed but is still loved by Zhu Youtang. The filial Wu family.
After the queen was deposed, the Wu family was treated like a queen mother even though she had no title because of her kindness in raising her.
The birth mother is not as old as the adoptive mother, which is especially obvious in Zhu Youtang.
Zhang Zhou left the palace under the guidance of Xiao Jing.
"Eunuch Xiao, your Majesty. "Look at the rewards."
Zhang Zhou is an open-minded person, and he often does things like ask for rewards on the way, and even Xiao Jing feels it is strange and ordinary when he hears it.
He doesn't ask for rewards. , Xiao Jing would feel awkward.
Xiao Jing said with a smile, "You have to give people time to prepare, right?"
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty didn't say how much he would give, he just asked you to give it." "Well, Eunuch Xiao, you"
How shameless
It's not enough to give, this is to ask for more and more
"Your Majesty did not set a number, but said These are your daily expenses, so don’t expect too much. If our family can give you more, we will give you more. But it’s not uncountable, and you’ll have to report it later. ”
“Oh, please give me more. I haven’t had any income recently. It seems that the Spring Festival is about to start, and it will take a long time. Prices in this capital are really expensive.”
” "Haha"
Xiao Jing pointed to the palace gate in front of him, "It's right there. Just go there. Everyone in the palace knows you. Just go to our house and prepare things to send to your house."
"Thank you"
Early in the morning someone went to inform Zhang Zhou that he would return home that day.
Zhang Zhou came out of the palace and Zhu Feng came to wait for him early. Behind Zhu Feng was Zhang Lun, the British prince.
"Brother Zhang"
Zhu Feng was very happy to see Zhang Zhou and wanted to hug Zhang Zhou when he came over.
Zhang Zhou looked at Zhang Lun and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhu Feng said, "Brother Zhang was a little forgetful when he entered the palace. Didn't the British Lord ask this son to follow you?" The horse is running behind the saddle beside him."
Zhang Zhou thought about it for a moment, frowned and said, "Did the British Lord say so?"
Zhang Lun said with a cup of his hands, "Students can study with Mr. Zhang, It's an honor. "
"Hey, he can talk." Zhu Feng, who was previously hostile to Zhang Lun, whispered into Zhang Zhou's ear, "He has been with me these past few days. He is a bit silly, which is quite fun. of. "
Zhang Zhou felt a chill in his heart after hearing this.
What is so-called "fun"?
Zhang Zhou wanted to remind Zhang Lun, can you Don't be a bad example to this guy. The old Zhang family is still waiting for you to pass on the family line. Anyway, the Chengguo Palace has no plans to pass on the title to this guy, but he doesn't know his future.He just wants to inherit his brother's title.
The three of them walked towards the carriage together.
Zhang Zhou said, "Zhijie, you are not young anymore. Why haven't you given birth to a child after so many years of marriage?"
Zhu Feng couldn't help being startled after hearing this, and then grinned and said, "Don't worry. ."
Zhang Zhou asked, "Does your brother have any children?"
"Yes, he has a son and a daughter, but his son just died last year, so my father has given me nothing in the past two years." My brother has taken several concubines, and I heard that there was something going on in his stomach, but I didn’t ask in detail.”
Zhu Feng obviously didn’t think about inheriting the title.
It is also because Zhu Feng’s brother Zhu Lin is not infertile. In these days, if he has given birth, even if he has not given birth for a few years, if he takes care of himself and brings in a few more women, why can’t he still be pregnant?
Everyone will be like Zhu Youtang, hanged on a tree
Besides, the disease of Xu is not hereditary. Zhu Houzhao will be more alive and kicking when he grows up than anyone else. Can jump
"What about your wife?"
"My wife is very nice. She even asked about you. I said I would like to let you have a cup of tea or something when I have time. She also I heard that you wrote peach blossom poems, and I was very interested in it. I also wanted to ask you for advice on poems."
Zhang Zhou thought to himself whether he wanted to ask for advice on poems or to ask Sister Jin Lian to change her fate against the will of heaven. Chapter 1
Seeing the carriage in front of him, Zhang Zhou said, "There is no need to send him off. I know the way home. If you are only a few steps away, hurry back and discuss the birth of the child with Mrs. Ling."
"What?" Zhu Fengren was a little confused.
This jump in thinking is a bit big. Do we need to discuss this in broad daylight?
"Brother Zhang, did you stay in there for ten days?"
"By the way, Zhijie, do you know anyone named Chen who is relatively close to your Chengguo government?"
"Does this Miss Chen from the Lianghuai salt transport family count?"
"Oh."
Zhang Zhou nodded.
Zhu Feng asked nervously, "Brother Zhu, have you figured out something? Don't hide anything from me."
Zhang Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, " "Effort"
"Effort for what?"
Zhang Zhou didn't answer and went straight to his carriage.
According to historical records, Zhu Feng's son, Zhu Xizhong, who rescued Zhu Houcong from the fire with Lu Bing during the Jiajing period in the future, and Cheng Guogong, the generation after Zhu Feng, were born to the Chen family.
That means that the current Zhu Feng did not give him any sons.
As for who this Chen is, Zhang Zhou has not investigated in detail. Who knows if it is Miss Chen who failed to find a son-in-law, or a young lady from a guard commander or local official's family.
Right now, Mrs. Zhu looks very unhappy.
Zhang Zhou's carriage arrived at the door of his house, only to see a carriage parked at the door. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Zhang Zhouzheng was curious about who it was.
He justAfter getting off the carriage, he saw a familiar figure also getting off the carriage. His old face was wrinkled horizontally, and the wrinkles on both sides were very uneven. He was running towards him at a trot.
"My dear son-in-law, I finally see you safe and sound again."
It's Jiang Dezhong.
Zhang Zhou’s heart skipped a beat.
The old guy knew that he was coming out of the palace and came to block him in advance.
Then Zhang Zhou saw the wine jar that Jiang Dezhong’s servant had brought down from the carriage.
His.
