Chapter 17: Leaving on the Excuse
Next.
Li Zhi got up early in the morning.
Asked Luo Tong to go to the Ministry of Works, and asked a few master-level carvers and carpenters to copy them on the wooden board according to the words on the historical records. Then engrave the handwriting.
It's not that hard.
As long as you are told, the engravers of the Ministry of Engineering will do it.
Li Zhi also went to the imperial study to attend classes as usual.
Li Lizhi also followed: "Brother Zhi, you wait for me!" ”
She ran a few quick steps and caught up with Li Zhi.
"Brother Zhi, there was a crackling sound in the backyard last night, and I didn't even fall asleep when it was noisy, what are you doing? Does copying a historical record make such a sound? ”
"Ahem......." Li Zhi smiled and said, "Sister wants to know?" ”
"Uh-huh!"
"I'm not going to tell you!"
Li Zhi grimaced at her.
"You...... Stop me! Li Li chased after him angrily.
The two of them are one in front of the other.
Soon arrived at the imperial study.
The teachers who came to class today are not only Fang Xuanling, but also Kong Yingda!
He heard that Li Zhi was a genius.
Can compose poetry and understand history!
also forced Fang Xuanling to be self-conscious, and often admired.
Kong Yingda wanted to see if things were so exaggerated.
"Yikes!"
Li Lizhi had just stepped into the classroom with her front feet, but she was like a rabbit frightened, and suddenly retracted: "Mom, I'm scared to death......." ”
"What's wrong? Scare you like this! ”
"Old man Kong is inside!"
"Kong Yingda?"
"Uh-huh! I didn't expect him to come here, he wouldn't be here to arrest me, right? ”
……
Li Zhi quietly poked his head out, and sure enough, he saw a strange old man, sitting with Fang Xuanling.
"Since you're here, don't come in yet!" Kong Yingda discovered Li Zhi.
"Teacher......."
"His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!" He was not as respectful as Fang Xuanling, but had a feeling of being superior.
This stems from the pride in his heart!
As a descendant of Confucius, and in class, there is no need for him to keep his voice down!
Li Lizhi has always been afraid of Kong Yingda, so she sat down obediently.
Li Zhi held his head high and was unmoved: "Master Kong, since you call me His Royal Highness the King of Jin, why don't you salute me?" Don't you know how to be humble? ”
Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment, and snorted in his heart: "What a difficult little guy!" No wonder Fang Xuanling was forced to ...... that job. ”
"It's in class!"
"Isn't there a need to talk about humility in the classroom? I just called you, teacher, and saluted you, and I saluted you. But respect is mutual, you call me King Jin, why are you so arrogant? Could it be that Confucius was like this? ”
"This!"
……
Kong Yingda was speechless.
He originally wanted to say that there were only teachers and students in the classroom, and there were no royal relatives. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi preemptively emphasized the word 'respect and inferiority', which made him unable to refute.
In the end, he could only bow honestly: "Minister Kong Yingda, meet His Royal Highness King Jin!" ”
"Excuse me!"
Li Zhi slowly sat down.
"Hahaha......."
Seeing Kong Yingda's embarrassed expression, Fang Xuanling almost laughed.
"You laughed at me for being too weak before, how about it, I tasted the power of His Royal Highness King Jin?" Fang Xuanling lowered his voice and whispered: "I advise you to put away your arrogance and deal with it carefully, otherwise it will continue to appear like the deflated situation just now." If you let the emperor see it, you will be ashamed! ”
"Ahem!"
"I don't need you to remind you!"
Kong Yingda picked up a book: "You rest first...... I'll teach you today's lesson! ”
"Okay!"
Fang Xuanling couldn't ask for it.
Kong Yingda came today to save face for Fang Xuanling. By the way, meet the so-called genius prince.
"Hmph, no matter how smart you are, you're only three years old, how much can you know?" Kong Yingda thought in her heart. Then he said: "I heard Lord Fang Xuanling say that His Royal Highness already knows how to compose poems?" ”
"In front of the teacher, I don't dare to speak, I just know a little bit about it!"
"I hope the teacher will give me more advice!"
"What a ...... who knows a little bit about fur." Kong Yingda is ready to save face: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the basis of composing poetry is duality, His Royal Highness can even compose poetry, presumably duality is no longer a problem." The minister has a puppet, and his Royal Highness is invited to make a puppet, how about it? ”
"Teacher, please!"
Li Zhi realized.
Kong Yingda is not good.
Want to see him make a fool of himself?
Or is it an oath of sovereignty?
In that case, you don't have to be polite!
"Isn't it just a pair, what's so difficult!" Li Zhi thought. He knows a lot about the pairs of later generations. If you are lucky, you may not lose to Kong Yingda.
……
Kong Yingda pulled over a piece of paper, spread it on the table, and wrote: "The hook is old, the hook is the test, the old test is the child, and the child is old!" ”
He wrote an 'old' word on the paper and another word 'exam'! A perfect interpretation of the duality he made!
This is a classic quatrain of ancient times!
Appeared in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty!
Reputedly......
An old boy is quite talented, but he has no backstage, and his temperament is upright, and he refuses to give gifts to the examiner, so he takes the exam twelve times and loses it.
But he was not discouraged and continued to take the exam, but the examiner was annoyed when he saw his name, threw the exam paper aside, and chanted a half-couplet to sarcastically mock him.
The hook is old, the hook is the test, the old test is the child, and the child is old.
The tone is snarky!
The old boy was very emotional after hearing this, and chanted out the second half of the couplet loudly in a fit of anger to pay tribute to the examiner.
One person is great, two people are the sky, the sky is great, and the human favor is greater than the sky.
The examiner's favoritism and the evil behavior of admitting talents based on favoritism are fully revealed.
"That's not right!"
"Kong Yingda, this old man, how could he know about this couplet?" Li Zhi reacted instantly. It is now the Tang Dynasty, and there are still more than a thousand years before the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that Kong Yingda also crossed over? !
History deceives!
This pair must have existed in the Tang Dynasty, not from the Qing Dynasty!
"Ahem...... His Royal Highness King Jin, are you right to come out? ”
"What's so hard about that?"
Li Zhi met Kong Yingda's smug gaze, walked up to him, and wrote down the word 'sky': "One person is great, two people are heaven, the sky is great, and human favor is greater than the sky!" ”
Li Zhi read the following link very fluently.
"Teacher, this is just a clever word, as long as you know how to read, you can get it right! You're going to test me with this, huh? You're underestimating me, aren't you? ”
"You!"
Kong Yingda savored Li Zhi's puppet.
What does it mean that human affection is greater than heaven?
Is it sarcastic about him?
"The teacher has always been upright, when did he talk about human feelings? His Royal Highness the King of Jin should not seriously injure the old ministers! ”
"Know how to know ......." Li Zhi smiled with his hands behind his back: "The teacher is upright, he will never embarrass the students, he should give you a big plaque!" ”
One sentence pierced Kong Yingda's mind!
He is now embarrassing Li Zhi!
Not only did it not succeed, but it was also satirized!
Fang Xuanling knew that Li Zhi was powerful, but he was unusually calm: "Master Kong, doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need to teach today?" Would you like to go to the East Palace? ”
Belch!
"Yes...... yes."
Kong Yingda was stunned on the spot, embarrassed, and couldn't wait to find a crack to turn in. Hearing the steps handed to him by Fang Xuanling, he hurriedly dragged away.
