Hu Qitu looked at Yu Ruyan's eyes and couldn't help laughing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Miss Yun, what kind of expression do you have?" Huqitu asked with a smile.

Yu Ruyan sneered: "Just by virtue of you, you are also worthy of reading the books of our Han people, also worthy of learning our Confucian and Mencian ways, and worthy of listening to the words of our sages?" ”

Hu Qitu couldn't hear the disdain and contempt in Yu Ruyan's words, but he wasn't angry at all, and said: "In your eyes, we, barbarians who drink blood and hair, are not worthy of your Confucian and Mencian ways, are we?" ”

Yu Ruyan didn't answer, Hu Qitu smiled and said, "Actually, what's the difference between you Han people and us Hu people?" I also have Han advisers around me, and I heard that the general of Qi is also our Hu people. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Yu Ruyan asked.

Hu Qitu smiled and said, "Miss Yun, I treat you as a guest, don't be so cold to me." I do have a question for Miss Yun. ”

"Say it." Yu Ruyan said angrily.

Hu Qitu smiled and asked Yu Ruyan to sit on the upper seat, and sat down next to him like a schooling child.

As the saying goes, raise your hand and don't hit a smiling person, Hu Qitu has been smiling at Yu Ruyan for the past few days, which makes Yu Ruyan feel that she is too unbearing.

Hu Qitu asked: "Confucius and Mencius are both Confucian masters, and they both advocate the idea of 'benevolence', but what is the difference?" ”

Yu Ruyan took a deep breath and explained, "In different eras, Confucius tended to be generous, while Mencius tended to be cynical. ”

"How so?" Huqitu asked with a smile.

Yu Ruyan said patiently: "Confucianism regards 'benevolence' as the highest principle of morality, and the fundamental meaning of 'benevolence' is to love others. Confucius wanted to 'establish people according to their own desires, and reach people when they want to achieve them', and to 'do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself', emphasizing that you should be gentle, kind, courteous, thrifty, and let people go. Mencius inherited Confucius's idea of 'benevolence', believing that everyone should have compassion and should 'be old and old; The young of me, and the young of man. It's just that when Mencius was alive, when the princes were attacking each other, as now, benevolence and righteousness have long ceased to exist. Therefore, Mencius's policy program is more specific from the perspective of Confucius. ”

Hu Qitu smiled and said, "Miss Yun is really knowledgeable. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which one does Miss Yun agree with the most? ”

Yu Ruyan said: "I can't say I agree, I can only say I appreciate it." I prefer Lao Tzu's Taoist thoughts, the law of heaven and the way of nature, and put forward the rule of inaction and conforming to nature. ”

"It's an ideal state." Hu Qitu sighed, "It's a pity that there is no rule in this world, and there are ......"

As he was talking, the voice of a slave girl came from outside the door: "Great Khan, I have prepared dinner with my concubine, please come over ......"

Hu Qitu was angry from his heart, and shouted: "Let her get away!" ”

Yu Ruyan was startled by his sudden roar, stood up and said, "Since the Great Khan has something, then I'll go first." ”

"Nope." Hu Qitu grabbed Yu Ruyan and said, "I've already sent her, you can't go." ”

Yu Ruyan withdrew her arm and said, "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back first." ”

Hu Qitu heard Yu Ruyan say this, and it was not easy to stop him, so he only ordered Yu Ruyan to boil Yu Ruyan's medicine outside and let her drink it.

"It's so bitter that I don't drink it." Yu Ruyan said.

Hu Qitu was a little anxious and said, "Didn't you Han people say that good medicine is bitter? Gotta drink it! ”

Yu Ruyan still insisted on not drinking, Hu Qitu had no choice but to say, "You really don't drink?" Okay, if you don't drink it, then I'll drink it! ”

Saying that, Hu Qitu picked up the bowl and brought it to his mouth, Yu Ruyan hurriedly stopped and said, "Are you crazy? This is medicine, and it can also be mixed up? ”

"Then you won't eat it!" Hu Qitu also replied.

Yu Ruyan sighed lightly, took the medicine bowl, and said, "I know, I'll eat it." ”

Yu Ruyan endured the bitterness, pinched her nose and poured it down in one go, almost throwing it up. Hu Qitu patted her on the back, Yu Ruyan glanced at Hu Qitu with disgust, turned around to prevent him from touching it, Hu Qitu's hand stayed in mid-air, a little embarrassed.

"I'm done drinking the medicine, you can go." Yu Ruyan said.

Hu Qitu smiled and said, "Miss Yun, can I ask you something?" ”

"The Great Khan doesn't have to be so polite to me, a captive, you can give any orders." Yu Ruyan has never given Hu Qitu a good face, and she is always on the fence.

Hu Qitu didn't mind, but just said, "Before, my advisor Mr. Zhan Fengzhan taught the children of our clan to read, and you Han people read books. Now that Mr. Zhan is very busy, teaching the children to read, can Miss Yun reluctantly do it for him? ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the Great Khan, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach." Yu Ruyan said.

Hu Qitu thought to himself, you are the emperor's teacher, how can you not even teach a few children? "Didn't you say you were a captive? Then I will order it now, and you will blame it for obedience! ”

Seeing that Yu Ruyan was a little loose, Hu Qitu hurriedly said: "Miss Yun, don't be modest, so let's do it, just three months, you can help Mr. Zhan for three months, how about it?" ”

"Okay." Yu Ruyan reluctantly agreed.

I can't imagine that I have been going around and around, but I still have to do my old job on this grassland, or teach my children to read.

Hu Qitu smiled as if he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and turned to go out.

Here, there was a commotion in the concubine's tent. The slave girls couldn't persuade them, and the concubine threw all the things on the cabinet next to them to the ground to vent their anger.

"He's never been like this before! Scolded me twice now! He Fei was crying and throwing things.

"And Concubine Niangniang, don't be like this!"

"Why, why did he do this to me all of a sudden! The Great Khan used to like me the most! ”

"And Concubine Niangniang, I heard that the Great Khan recently abducted a group of Han people and came back, and the others were let go, leaving only one woman."

Concubine He stopped crying and asked, "Han woman?" Who is she? Did the Great Khan have a crush on her? What else do you know, say! ”

The slave girl said tremblingly: "The specific slave and maid are not very clear, but I heard that the Great Khan treats this woman as a guest, and the slave and maid do not know her origin." ”

"Then you don't want to inquire!" He Fei roared.

"Yes, yes."

Concubine He looked at the back of the slave girl going out resentfully, and continued to throw things in resentment.

The next morning, when Yu Ruyan woke up, someone came in to serve her to freshen up, and the clothes and jewelry she wore were also of the highest quality. After breakfast, the slave girl led Yu Ruyan to a large felt tent.

After entering, Yu Ruyan saw more than a dozen children sitting there, staring straight at her.

At this time, Hu Qitu and Zhan Feng came in, and Hu Qitu smiled and said to the children: "From today on, Mr. Zhan can't teach you to read, and now it's this Mr. Yun who will teach you." ”

"Hello sir." The children said in unison.

Yu Ruyan thought to herself, sure enough, what Hu Qitu said was true, and she had always asked Zhan Feng to teach these children Han books and etiquette. But why did he do it?

"I'm going to trouble Mr. Yun from today onwards, three hundred thousand have already been taught, now what do you want to teach them?" Zhan Feng asked.

Yu Ruyan thought for a while and said, "Since the three hundred thousand have already been taught, presumably the children have also learned a lot of words, so I will start with the Analects." ”

"Okay, then Mr. Yun." Zhan Feng said with a smile.

Yu Ruyan sighed, opened the book, and said, "Today, I will teach you the Analects." The Analects was compiled by the disciples of Confucius and the disciples of the second generation. It mainly records the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, reflects the thoughts of Confucius in a concentrated manner, and is one of the classic works of Confucianism and one of the Twelve Classics of Confucianism. ”

"Sir, what are the Twelve?"

Yu Ruyan replied: "In the Tang Dynasty, Tang Wenzong studied standing stones in Guozi, and carved the "Yi", "Shu", "Poems", "Zhou Li", "Rites", "Rites", "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Biography", "Gu Liang Biography", "Analects", "Filial Piety Classic" and "Erya" Twelve Classics, which are the twelve classics of Confucianism. ”

Hu Qitu smiled and looked at Yu Ruyan and talked, turned around and walked out of the felt tent.

In the afternoon, the slave girl told Concubine He the news she had heard, and Concubine He only then knew the origin of Yu Ruyan.

"It turned out to be that female official of Chen Guo!" Concubine He gritted her teeth and said, "The Great Khan has always admired Han culture, and when he met the erudite scholar of the Hanlin Academy, he didn't even have his soul snatched away!" ”

The slave girl said: "Niangniang can rest assured, the slave maid heard that although this woman is talented and learned, her reputation is very bad." ”

"What's the wrong way?" Concubine He asked.

The slave girl said: "The slave maid heard that this Han girl and the two emperors of Chen Guo are not clear, and they still live with someone on the rivers and lakes, because this matter is full of storms in Chen State, and everyone knows about it." Emperor Chen couldn't hold it down, so he demoted her to Tongguan, and later got involved with a man, so she was sent to Mobei. ”

Concubine He couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "Aren't those Han women the most respectful?" I didn't expect this woman to be so shameless, she didn't count those things in Chen Guo, she came to Mobei, and she actually mixed into our tribe to stir up. He also seduced the Great Khan and ignored me at all! ”
