Chapter Twenty-Three: Father's Love Is Like a Mountain
A bowl of chilled Chinese herbs was poured in, Zhao Zhen only felt that his lungs were cool, and the cold drink with a slight mint aroma made him regain his senses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I was drowsy, I only heard someone on the side speak: "How long has the prince been standing under the imperial steps?" ”
"About an hour."
"Ridiculous! The prince is young and frail, how can he stand under the scorching sun for a long time? How do you chamberlains do things! The old man's angry shout made Chen Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble.
The status of the internal servants in the Song Dynasty was extreme, and their appointments were even subject to the supervision and management of foreign ministers.
To put it simply, all the officials in the imperial city can supervise them, and if they are not careful, they will be reprimanded.
"The slave maid has long wanted to report it, but the prince said that it is rare for the official family to be so happy, and strictly ordered the slave and maid to disturb it." Chen Tong, who was like an ostrich, said aggrievedly.
Wang Dan looked at the prince on the bed in shock, he couldn't imagine that the prince's filial piety had reached such a height, and he would rather be exposed to the scorching sun than disturb the chat between the official family and himself, this could not be pretentious, but pure and filial piety from the bottom of his heart, and a young man who was only eight years old rarely had such a heart and perseverance.
Slowly walked to the prince's side, looking at Zhao Zhen, who was breathing a little softer, Wang Dan sighed: "Idiot! ”
Turning his head to the official beside the bed, he bowed and said, "The prince is kind, and the old minister is impressed!" ”
Zhao Heng stretched out his hand with difficulty at this time, and gently put a wet towel on Zhao Zhen's hot forehead, with a trace of ripples in his eyes: "My son is mellow by nature, Wang Dan, you have to let him understand the truth of a gentleman's deception!" ”
Wang Dan instantly understood Zhao Heng's thoughts and nodded: "The old minister knows!" ”
But Zhao Zhen, who was lying on the bed, smiled bitterly in his heart: This is a bit of an act! Daddy and Wang Dan see themselves as a righteous gentleman! But am I just staging a good show of a gentleman deceiving him now?
Slowly opening his eyes, Zhao Zhen pretended to be confused and looked around and said, "Where am I?" ”
Zhao Heng happily took away the wet towel on his son's head and said, "Idiot, you are in my Gyeongbok Palace." Don't force yourself at a young age, do everything according to your ability, and don't act recklessly! ”
Looking at his father's cherished eyes, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that he was a bastard, the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him were full of his father's love, but he was deceiving this most simple and sacred feeling.
His previous performance was like a thief, stealing the father-son affection of the owner of this body.
He was really moved by Zhao Heng's father's love, he was originally a single-parent family, he has been living with his mother, he doesn't know what father's love feels like, in his opinion, his father is an extremely irresponsible person.
But Zhao Heng's behavior made him realize what it means to be a father's love like a mountain, this kind of feeling cannot be expressed in words, but it is more real than the mountains and more majestic than the mountains.
The sour feeling filled the nose and the corners of his eyes, and Zhao Zhen sucked hard before he said: "My father and sons are much better, but I am in trouble today, and I am worried that my father will punish ......me."
Zhao Heng said with a smile: "The people's shouting long live can only show that what you have done satisfies them, and you are a qualified prince." What kind of trouble is this? What's more, this is a trick of the Liao envoy. ”
Wang Dan nodded on the side and said: "What the official family said is extremely true, how can such a clumsy separation separate the relationship between father and son? ”
Seeing that his son was almost fine, Zhao Heng's envious Wang Dan said: "The young man's body is recovering quickly, you can see that Yi'er can give you a salute." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to Zhao Zhen and said solemnly: "Wu'er, Wang Xianggong will be the prince and master from now on!" You are to give him the gift of respect for his teacher in the future. ”
Zhao Zhen hurriedly bowed his hand: "Students meet the teacher!" After speaking, he raised his hand and saluted from top to bottom.
Wang Dan laughed, touched the slightly white beard on his chin and said, "The old minister returned the courtesy." ”
The atmosphere in the hall became extremely harmonious, Zhao Heng sat down on the brocade, and Zhao Zhen was facing Wang Dan on the side, listening to the first lesson he gave him, "A gentleman bullies him".
Wang Dan looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise and said, "The prince can already recite Mencius throughout?" ”
Zhao Zhen nodded a little apprehensively and said: "The Four Books and Five Classics can already be recited in their entirety, but the meaning of the scriptures is not fully understood. ”
At this time, even Zhao Heng sat up in surprise and said: "When I took the school entrance examination before, I always drew famous sayings and allusions, could it be that you have already understood them?" ”
Zhao Zhen nodded shyly: "Erchen thinks that his father deliberately picked some simple questions......
Wang Dan immediately interjected: "Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince name which chapter of Mencius can embody the benevolent government of Yasheng?" ”
Zhao Zhen replied without hesitation: "The widow is also to the country!" ”
Just when Zhao Heng and Wang Dan were surprised, Zhao Zhen began to recite the full text, and concluded at the end: "The whole text is divided into three parts, one is that King Liang Hui raised the question that the people do not add more, and the other is that Mencius adopted the argumentative method of "leading the king into the urn" that he made good use of, and analyzed the reason why King Liang Hui "did not add more to the people". The third is to discuss the way to increase the number of people - the practice of benevolent government. ”
Zhao Zhen looked at the two people who were suppressed and felt proud, these are the standard answers of later generations, you must know that the Four Books and Five Classics have been analyzed very thoroughly in later generations, this is the experience accumulated for thousands of years, and it is better than Song Confucian's one-sided analysis of broken sentences.
Song Confucianism was very fond of interpreting the broken sentence analysis of the sages' articles, and the results obtained in this way were of course one-sided, but later generations interpreted the entire article coherently, and the answers obtained in this way were of course more comprehensive and better than Song Confucian's analysis.
It's like a leopard in a tube and an unobstructed view, and a judgment is made.
Wang Dan looked at Zhao Heng blankly and said, "The prince's Confucian attainments are extremely high!" It's something you were born to know?! ”
This is to push yourself into the fire pit of the saints!
Zhao Zhen shuddered and hurriedly explained: "I can't stand Taifu's praise, it's a clever method, it's too difficult to understand and analyze the article word by word, so I will read through the full text directly, and then analyze the whole text, which will save time and effort." ”
Wang Dan was about to deny this behavior, but was interrupted by Zhao Heng: "Read through the whole piece and analyze? After speaking, he began to frown and think hard, and after a while, his eyes lit up and said: "The prince tried, this method is indeed very different!" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly, of course it is different, the sages wrote the article as a whole, how can there be a reason to write a sentence and finally cast an article!
The two of them tried it with Zhao Zhen's method, and sure enough, they suddenly realized, and they couldn't help but laugh and say: "Who first proposed a word-by-word explanation of the meaning!" ”
Wang Dan looked at Zhao Zhen and said: "The child's innocence will not be bound by the framework, this is probably the reason why the prince has found another way!" ”
As long as you are a child, adults can always find a way to make up for their own loopholes.
Just like people often rationalize things that can't be explained.
Of course, it is a good thing that your talents are fully recognized, and it is also one step closer to your goal!
Under Zhao Heng's dismissal, Zhao Zhen left helplessly, he really wanted to hear what the two of them said about him, but it didn't matter, his imperial system should be able to detect the situation here.
Out of the main hall, Zhao Zhen hurriedly slipped towards his carriage, as long as he arrived at the car, he could observe the reaction of his father and Wang Dan with peace of mind.
But he was disappointed, looking at the carload of chicks, Zhao Zhen reluctantly retreated and went to find Cai Boyu who took refuge, at least it would not be more uncomfortable than in the carriage.
