Duan Yan lowered his head slightly, looked at the immature eyes on the other side who were seriously facing him, and couldn't help but show a little seriousness, and said, "Since Your Highness knows the allusion of Confucius entering the Taimiao, you should know why Confucius is like this, right?" ”

When Yun Rui heard such an "old gentleman" ask himself questions so seriously, his little vanity was satisfied, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to be very knowledgeable.

She then nodded and said, "Naturally, I know." Confucius was the most humble and respectful, although he knew the rituals very well, but out of humility, he was able to ask about everything. ”

Duan Yan smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness compares himself to King Wenxuan, does he want to prove that he has just studied in front of the divine throne of the ancestors and ancestors, even if there are some slight inconsistencies in etiquette, in fact, he is also studying with a humble and respectful heart?" ”

Yun Rui was pierced by his words, his face turned red, and he was ashamed, but he couldn't pull his face to admit that he was actually arguing with strong words, so he had to stiffly pestle in place, silent.

Duan Yan didn't care, and said slowly: "Confucius must ask about everything, it is true that there is a reason for humility and respect, but does a saint must know everything?" ”

When Yun Rui heard this, his eyes flashed, and he felt that this argument was very fresh and interesting.

I only heard Duan Yan continue: "Ordinary people think that saints are omniscient and omniscient. However, the heavens and the earth are vast and infinite, and the saint is not a god-man, and the saint is also a mortal body. Since it is a mortal fetus of flesh and body, it is inseparable from the unknown of the avenue of heaven and earth. If not, why is there a popular saying that says, 'Live to be old, learn to be old'? The saints are also constantly learning. How do I know that Confucius really didn't understand something, and asked people for advice in the Taimiao?

"Exactly!" Yun Rui liked it when he heard it, and continued, "Confucius himself said, 'Threesome, there must be my teacher'!" ”

Duan Yan bowed his head, and the secret path was teachable.

Yun Rui looked up at Duan Yanqing's face, and said with a smile: "The old gentleman is really a big official, and his knowledge is unusual, not like that kind of rotten Confucian, he can only learn words." ”

Duan Yan was sincerely praised by this child, and couldn't help but feel a smile, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise!" Even so, how about the ministers reciprocate and praise His Royal Highness? ”

Yun Rui didn't know what he was referring to, and looked at him with wide eyes and confused.

Duan Yan said with a smile: "The minister just said that the saint is diligent in studying, since His Highness compares himself to a saint, of course the minister should praise His Highness for being diligent in learning and learning no less than a saint." ”

Yun Rui knew that his words were ridiculing his previous strong words, and his little face turned red again, and he pursed his lips twistedly.

Duan Yan then admonished: "Your Highness is curious about strange things and is willing to learn, which is good." But after all, this is the Fengxian Palace, which is a solemn place, and His Highness's move will be a loss of etiquette. ”

After that, seeing that Yun Rui hung his head in shame, staring at the tips of the moire boots and was silent, Duan Yan didn't delve into it, but opened the topic.

"Speaking of King Wenxuan, the minister wants to ask His Highness, why is a saint a saint?"

Yun Rui has never heard of this question, let alone knows the answer.

She really tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally had to look at Duan Yan in disbelief and shook her head.

Duan Yan put his hands behind his back and waited patiently for her answer.

Seeing that she was staring at herself with a small face, waiting for an answer, Duan Yan said sincerely: "Your Highness, think about it, Confucius once asked Yu Lao Dan. Lao Dan is a Taoist ancestor, and he is also a saint, so that's fine. But what ordinary people know, Confucius may not know, and he has to rely on learning to know. So, why has Confucius been revered as a saint for thousands of years? There is also King Wen of Zhou, according to history, when he was imprisoned by Shang, he was tricked into eating dried meat made from his own son's meat. Why are such people still revered as saints? ”

Why?

Yun Rui followed Duan Yan's train of thought, twisting his brows and thinking carefully.

"Because they have the avenue in their hearts and the support of perseverance!" Duan Yan said in one word.

"Hold on to ......," Yun Rui muttered.

"Exactly!" Duan Yan stared at her serious appearance, "Confucius has spent his whole life running and traveling among countries to advocate the royal way. He worked hard to set up a private school, so that the children of the poor family also had the opportunity to study and learn, and had the opportunity to understand the righteousness. He also compiled and reviewed various classics, so that our Chinese culture would not be annihilated in the dust of history. Speaking of King Wen of Zhou, he painstakingly studied Zhou Yi and left a very profound and useful knowledge for future generations. For the sake of the well-being of the people of Li and the determination of future generations to crusade against the merchants, to return the world to peace and well-being, and finally realize their wishes in the hands of King Wu, how many sins and sufferings have the people of the world suffered less? ”

The more Yun Rui listened, the more attracted he became. She used to study, whether it was her father, or the husband in the female school, where did anyone tell her such a truth?

"Therefore, the reason why saints are saints is because they have the persistence of the great road in their hearts." Duan Yan made a concluding remarks.

Seeing that this little highness's eyes were shining, Duan Yan was very relieved, and finally, his own argument entered her heart.

Yun Rui saw that he stopped talking, Shang Jue was not satisfied, she hurriedly pulled the placket of Duan Yan's official robe, as if asking him to continue to teach her more truths.

"That'...... When the saint was young, he had a ...... in his heart Well, is there a stick? Do they know what their avenue is at a very young age? ”

Duan Yan smiled slightly, his face showed kindness, and said: "Just as the minister said, a saint is not a god, but also a mortal womb of the flesh, not born to know, but after hard study the day after tomorrow, he gradually established his own avenue of perseverance. ”

Yun Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked uneasily: "Then, the saint's obsession is all about...... Hmm, do you want to be big? They all want to serve the country and the people, can it be passed down through the ages? ”

Duan Yan raised his eyebrows, "It is naturally good to serve the country and the people, but it is not absolute." ”

Yun Rui listened to it, and was a little relieved.

She blinked, with a smile in her eyes, and looked at Duan Yan, "Sister-in-law said that she wants to invite Master for me, teach me to read, and let others accompany me to study...... Master Duan, will you be my master and teach me to read? I also want to know what my own path holds. ”

How familiar is this scene?

Once, years ago, the boy looked at himself so earnestly-

"Duan Aiqing, be my master, can you teach me to read?"

Duan Yan recalled the past, his heart was warm and sour.

He squatted down and touched the ground on one knee, so that his eyes could look up slightly at the future little emperor, and his blood hit his head, and he was finally restrained by reason.

He looked at her and said pleadingly, "Your Highness, the minister really wants to do your homework master in his heart, but ...... The minister is too old to take on the heavy responsibilities......"

Seeing Yun Ruideng's gray face, Duan Yan felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Although the minister can't, I am full of talents in Da Zhou, and there will definitely be capable people who can be the master of His Highness." ”

Yun Rui was a little disappointed and pouted, "But...... But I just want you to be my master......"

Duan Yan was moved when he heard this: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will definitely find the best master for Your Highness...... The most competent master who satisfies His Royal Highness, the Queen Mother, and the Queen! ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

In Shoukang Palace, Jing Yan faced a table full of food, including his favorite dishes, but he didn't have a trace of appetite.

was blamed and misunderstood by the Queen Mother, but she was not afraid. But recalling the words of the Empress Dowager Duan-

Arrow's ......

What if you get sick on your knees......

Jing Yan thought about it, and the pitiful little face when Ah Rui looked at him came to mind, and he felt even more unpleasant.

Empress Dowager Duan was still annoyed that she had punished Ah Rui, and she was also worried about whether she would hurt the child.

The two of them thought about their own thoughts, and the meal was very quiet, and the dull atmosphere made everyone waiting feel that it was difficult to breathe.

Suddenly, a clear children's voice pierced the gloom.

"Sister-in-law!" Yun Rui took three steps and made two steps, jumping into Shoukang Palace.

Jing Yan was stunned and hurriedly raised his head. Seeing a little man running towards him, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Yun Rui looked at her with a smile, suddenly thought of something, turned around, and saluted to the Empress Dowager Duan: "Greetings to the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Duan was completely swept away for a while, and pulled her into her arms.

"My son!"

She stroked Yun Rui's little face again and looked at it carefully: "Is it hurt?" What's wrong with it? The queen mother sent the imperial doctor to come and see my son! ”

Yun Rui shook his head with a smile: "The child's body is strong!" Moreover, he didn't kneel for long...... The sister-in-law said that the child knew that he was wrong, so he could get up. So, the child figured it out and stood up! ”

Jing Yan just wanted to support his forehead when he heard it.

Empress Dowager Duan had already laughed out loud and scratched the bridge of Yun Rui's little nose: "My son is a very smart one!" ”

Jing Yan finally couldn't help but say, "Rui, do you know that you are wrong?" ”

Yun Rui was stunned.

Without waiting for her to answer, Empress Dowager Duan snatched the conversation over: "Empress! The mourning family is still here! Even if it's your turn to teach, it's not your turn to teach! ”

Jing Yan got up in embarrassment, "Queen Mother, Ah Rui is still young!" As the saying goes, 'jade is not cut, it is not made'......"

"That's it!" Empress Dowager Duan waved her hand impatiently, "Isn't the mourning family as good as you disciplining your children?" Queen, don't forget, your husband was single-handedly disciplined by the mourning family! ”

Jing Yan's eyes were hot, he bit his lip and was silent.

Yun Rui saw this in his eyes.

Just when Empress Dowager Duan instructed Yubi to "quickly pass food to His Royal Highness Rui", and carefully instructed what to do, Yun Rui copied a blanket and quietly crouched in Jing Yan's ear.

"Sister-in-law, I know it's wrong...... Don't be angry......"

Jing Yanjiao's body was shocked.

I only heard the thin child's voice echoing in my ears again: "Master Duan promised to find a good master for me." Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely study hard! Not...... I'd love to know what my avenue is keeping......"
