Chapter 174: Tempering is Tribulation

Yongwang, this guy, although he is somewhat out of tune on weekdays, has a very accurate vision for some things. These words can even be said in one sentence. Over the years, Huang Qiong's mother in this life has not only been unhappy. It can even be said that it is not too much to describe it as a year.

Think of a person who, starting at the age of three, has been studying and practicing martial arts all year round for 12 hours a day, 365 days a year, in addition to eating and sleeping. Even later, getting a good night's sleep was a luxury. Whether it is the scorching heat of midsummer or the cold winter of the lunar month, you have to get up in the middle of the night every day to practice.

Summer practice, winter practice, Huang Qiong can be said to have not delayed at all. Whether it is the cold winter and the scorching heat, or the torrential rain and thunder, when it comes to the day of practice, my mother has never looked at the weather. When it comes to the day of leaving the palace to practice, even if it is a blade outside, you have to go out.

Even on days when you don't go out of the palace to practice, you have to breathe every day when you sleep. The rate of breathing was a little worse, and a ring ruler came over. When to adjust, when to stop making mistakes, to continue to sleep. No matter what time you rest on your first day, the day you get up in the morning to read a book will never change.

From the time he came to this era when he was "three years old", it was a full fifteen years until he left the palace and went to the palace. Sometimes Huang Qiong doesn't know how she has survived all these years. However, although the past fifteen years are almost unbearable. But Huang Qiong still believes that the sentence that jade is not cut and cannot be made will never be outdated.

I just thought so in my heart, but in front of King Yong, Huang Qiong didn't show it at all, but said lightly: "I have been reading since I was three years old, and I get up from reading every day, and I can't rest until I am young." All the sons of the hundred schools of thought read it, and they all learned the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although I am an only child, my mother has always been strict in her studies. ”

"If you make a mistake, you will not be punished, but you have to copy it more than 100 times. If you read a wrong word in the book, you will be typed on a board. At the age of three, he began to read and practice Ming arithmetic, and he completed the thousand-character essay and the big character painting red at that year. At the age of five, he began to read the Analects and the Book of Songs, and learned the rhythm of music, and at the age of seven, he began to learn Go, splash ink landscapes, and read The Mean and the University. ”

"Anyway, let's put it this way, I read the books of the hundred schools of thought, I read them before I was ten years old. Ming arithmetic is a subject, and it is also completed before the age of ten. In fact, I felt bitter at the beginning, think about a three-year-old child, the wrist has not yet grown, you have to sit upright to practice calligraphy, do you say hard is not hard? ”

"Later, I thought about it that I didn't even have a playmate in the palace anyway, and I didn't know what I was doing except reading every day, and I got used to it over time. At that time, I was listening to Xue Xuan alone, and I didn't have a chance to see outside. If you want to know something, you can only look for it in books. Without these books, I don't even know cows and horses now. ”

Of course, it was impossible for Huang Qiong to tell the truth to King Yong. When he listened to Xue Xuan, he actually lived a much more bitter life every day than this. Reading is actually not a real burden for Huang Qiong. As for the clear calculation, it is not worth mentioning for him. Fortunately, he was also a serious graduate in his previous life, and he has studied mathematics for more than ten years since elementary school.

Go is such an elegant thing, and when I first learn it, I feel bored. After I really learned it, I felt that it was fun. Occasionally, when I have free time, playing a game with my mother is also a pastime. The real burden is the daily martial arts practice career later, which is the real hardship.

And after experiencing that assassination, Huang Qiong really understood the true meaning of Chen Yao's words about your mother, which is teaching you the last life-saving skills. If it weren't for my mother's painstaking teaching for more than ten years, it would have been difficult for me to escape that day. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong realized that her mother saw far more than herself.

Even if she has been listening to Xue Xuan for so many years, she has hardly taken a step out of listening to Xue Xuan. But thinking about problems, and looking at things, is still not comparable to most people. It's just that these things can't be said to the outside world no matter what, even if the other party is the eternal king.

Although what Huang Qiong said was a little understated, King Yong still couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it. As the ninth brother, he began to study at the age of three, and he began to read every day, and he could not rest until he was a child. All the sons of the hundred schools of thought read it, and they all learned the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not to mention being there, it sounds scary enough.

It is said that their emperor Lao Tzu is strict in discipline, but the prince's study only begins at the hour and ends at the time of the unitary. Although those masters were carefully selected by the old man, after all, in the face of these ancestors, ordinary people would not be too strict. Besides, except for the crown prince, after these princes became vassals, they were not even allowed to go out for a hundred miles around the domain.

In addition to eating and waiting for death every day, the only thing that is still useful is to spread out as many branches and leaves for the royal family as possible. No matter how much you read books, even if they are full of money, they are useless. Anyway, I can't expect them to go out and take a champion exam and come back, and give the royal glory to the ancestors.

What's more, if you read too many books, people are prone to have some bad thoughts. Therefore, although those masters are all from Hanlin or bachelor's degrees, except for a few dead-eyed ones, they are generally not too strict in teaching. As long as you can fool the emperor's assessment, it's basically the same.

Besides, these living ancestors are really a little difficult to manage. You are too strict, go to your mother and cry, and the unlucky one is not your own master. It's too loose, the emperor still doesn't want to. This scale is indeed difficult to grasp. Most of the masters don't even dare to scold, let alone beat, but they don't even dare to scold.

The books he read were also personally selected by the emperor. Among the hundreds of schools, the books of Mozi and Xunzi are basically not read. In addition to the Confucian classics, it is the book of Han Feizi, which the emperor greatly admires. As for the poems and songs, although they are also read, the emperor is not allowed to teach the book "Book of Songs".

In addition to reading, among the six arts, except for the reason that the emperor can't forget the difficulty of his ancestors' entrepreneurship, the rest is basically fate. In fact, it was riding and shooting, and the emperor only required the princes to ride horses. As for whether he could shoot arrows, the emperor did not have any requirements.

The emperor didn't force it, and the masters who didn't want to have nothing to do were happy to be idle. And among these princes of this dynasty, they obviously like to eat, drink and have fun more. For miscellaneous arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for the eighth prince Shen Wang, who is still a little interested, none of the rest of the princes is enthusiastic.

Although the requirements are a bit low, for the way of the first emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty, the emperor Lao Tzu of King Yong and Huang Qiong is already very good. Although the Taizu of this dynasty said that he was born in Xiucai, he didn't pay attention to the education of his sons. Even after Dingding Guanzhong, the education of the princes is also half-hearted. When I think of it, I find a master to teach it for a few days, and if I can't think of it, I develop freely.

The ancestors all have this virtue, and the emperors of later generations can imagine it. Except for Taizong's strict teaching of the princes, most of the other emperors' teachings were self-indulgent. Although there are no illiterate princes in the past dynasties, there are many people who can't even read a copy of "Thousand Character Text".

Huang Qiong's emperor Lao Tzu studied late that year, but it wasn't entirely that Emperor Sejong really forgot about him. Originally, he didn't like to read by nature, and Emperor Sejong read a book by himself. Although it is the ancestral system for the prince to tie his hair and study at the age of five, Huang Qiong's imperial grandfather does not care about the education of his princes at all.

Although he also selected several Hanlin scholars according to the ancestral system as the masters of his prince and set up a palace school, this palace school was opened intermittently. If that master resigns or returns to his hometown, when the next master will be elected depends on the mood of Emperor Sejong, or when he can remember it.

The longest gap was five years. That is to say, those princes in Beijing have not had a master to teach for five years. Huang Qiong's age when the emperor Lao Tzu went to school was when the palace learned to release pigeons. There is not even a professor's master in the palace school, so where does he want to learn?

However, if the old man can have today's talent, he still has to be strong after all, and after getting the opportunity to study, he began to study hard. No matter how much the other brothers ridiculed, they didn't put down the books in their hands. Although restricted by talent and the ability of the master, he is basically not proficient in miscellaneous arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But that handwriting and knowledge are definitely the best among the princes of Sejong.

When I arrived at Huang Qiong's father, although the education was much stricter. But these princes are not crown princes after all, and there will be no throne for them to inherit in the future. Not to mention the government affairs of the counselor, even if you have the right to look at the excerpts. In this case, the emperor restrained these princes from studying, more to let them have a good character.

No matter how much it is, I'm afraid it's just that I'm worried that this group of lawless lords will go out and do something bad and lose his royal face. The emperor's own starting point is not right, no matter how can those bachelors who are masters really teach with their hearts? Although the course taught every day does not dare to fish for three days and dry the net for two days, it is mainly to cope with the emperor's assessment.

In addition, the princes grew up one after another, and when they started to study, the old man had already read the most tense time. Most of the princes not only did not suffer the humiliation of the old man back then, but also did not try that kind of precarious life. With the exception of a few who love literature, reading is nothing more than an extremely boring thing for most of them.

Although under the strict order of the emperor, he did not dare to fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, but what the master said in this class, represented by this Yongwang, basically went in the left ear and went out in the right ear. For them, anyway, they don't have to take the Jinshi exam by themselves, so it doesn't matter if they read the book or not.

Therefore, when King Yong heard Huang Qiong, listening to Xue Xuan's daily reading life over the years, his jaw was almost frightened. This is almost unimaginable among the rest of the princes. If King Yong knew all of Huang Qiong's life over the years, I am afraid that his jaw would not just drop in fright.

For King Yong's surprise, Huang Qiong just smiled and did not continue to dwell on this topic. For Huang Qiong, that period of time was indeed difficult, but it was also a strange tempering. Those little problems in his previous life have almost been completely changed under the tempering of his mother.

The weaknesses in the original personality were somewhat weak, but they were also completely corrected under the guidance of my mother. In the past fifteen years, I have learned a lot of things from my mother in this life, which I have never learned in my previous life, and this is the most important thing for me. Tribulation, more often than not, is another kind of grinding. What's more, Huang Qiong didn't think it was an ordeal at all.
