Chapter 526: Edutainment (Part 1)
The queen of the Wenhua Palace.
Liu Jin questioned: "Lord Shen, what are you ...... Sincerely, you want to intimidate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? Why are the little emperors killed by thieves......"
Shen Xi said: "Dare to ask Gonggong Liu, what I said below, isn't it the content in the official history, but there is the slightest apocryphal in the following?" ”
Even the crown prince Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, and he wondered if Shen Xi was making up a story to scare him.
Liu Jin was stunned, pouted with a strange face, and said, "Even if it's not made up, the prince is still young, can't he tell the prince about this in the future?" ”
Shen Xi shook his head slightly and said: "My duty is to tell the history of the Twenty-first for the prince, so that the prince can learn to learn from history." Don't talk about these things, how can the prince know about the rise and fall, the punishment of the Ming Dynasty, and the close loyalty of the ministers and the treacherous from afar? ”
When Liu Jin heard this, his heart was on fire, and he asked angrily: "Listen to Lord Shen's meaning, the old slave is the traitor next to His Highness?" ”
Shen Xi said: "I don't have this intention in the next place, Gonggong Liu must not think about it." ”
Liu Jin hurriedly cried to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave doesn't dare to neglect you day and night, but Lord Shen compares the old slave with a traitor, and asks His Highness to be the master of the old slave." ”
Shen Xi couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
If you want to say that this Liu Jin is really good at "selling cute", he just proposed that one of the benefits of taking history as a mirror is to keep Zhu Houzhao away from traitors, so he was stunned to take this infamy on himself, and begged the prince to call the shots for him, he really thinks that the "traitor" that Shen Xi said is himself?
It's hypocrisy!
Or does Liu Jin have the intention of using this to change the topic?
Zhu Houzhao was a little impatient with Liu Jin, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, what does the big man's crying look like?" I didn't even cry when my father beat me! Mr. Shen, don't talk about the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, this palace doesn't want to hear this, so let's talk about something else. ”
Liu Jin wiped his tears at this time, but glanced at Shen Xi with a sly gaze...... Shen Xi sensed a fierce look from it, and it seemed that he was holding a grudge.
Shen Xi thought to himself: "Don't be embarrassed in front of me, even if you want to seek revenge on me, wait for six or seven years first, and then talk about it when Emperor Hongzhi dies." ”
Shen Xi saluted and said, "I don't know what His Highness wants to hear?" ”
"Uh......" Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a moment, and his eyes lit up, "Then tell me, what did those who used to be princes play?" ”
Shen Xi replied: "In addition to studying knowledge, the ancients must be proficient in etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, which are called the six arts. After the Tang and Song dynasties, the literati took pleasure in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "Fiddling with the piano, playing chess, and writing are even fun?" This palace is asking you, those former princes...... Is there any unique way to play, such as the promotion weaving you mentioned, I heard that there are also people who play on horses, but apart from these, what else? ”
Even if Zhu Houzhao was greedy for fun, he didn't have many tricks to play, this was because he had too few opportunities to contact society and knew extremely little, so he wanted to ask the ancients how to play from Shen Xi.
Shen Xi secretly wondered: What is the meaning of the ancients playing, the fun things I know are enough for you to play for a few years without being the same, so that you will never get tired of it. At that moment, he saluted again: "Back to Your Highness, the minister knows that the ancients still bowed to the play, and it was quite popular in the palace." ”
Liu Jin hurriedly said, "Lord Liu, what are you...... If you want to teach the prince to learn badly, the old slave will go back...... The queen has sued you! ”
Shen Xi didn't speak, Zhu Houzhao next to him was already angry and shouted, "You dare!" This palace orders you, no matter what I play, don't tell my father and mother, otherwise...... I'm going to find someone to beat you up and drive you out of the palace!" ”
After speaking, Zhu Houzhao ran directly to Shen Xi, with a happy face, "Mr. Shen, tell me, what's going on with Keju?" ”
The people present sighed, this is over, this Shen Zhuangyuan first taught to promote weaving, and now he has to teach the prince to play Keju...... Is this thing accessible to children, and after the prince likes Keju, what else does he have to study? The emperor and empress know it, and they have to be angry with others, my ass and head!
Shen Xi explained: "This juju play, which flourished in the court of the Song Dynasty and was popular among the people, is a round sphere made of bamboo, with a neutral wooden wheel in the field, and a merry eye. ”
Zhu Houzhao was a little stunned when he heard this, he had never touched Keju, and he didn't know that there was still knowledge in this thing, so he hurriedly asked, "You...... Teach me how to play, this palace is rewarded! ”
Shen Xi said: "The duty of the minister is to teach His Highness to learn, and now His Highness does not learn, even if there are more rewards, the minister may not be blessed." However, if His Highness can concentrate on learning and comprehend what the minister teaches, His Majesty will not blame him even if the minister and His Highness have fun together. ”
Zhu Houzhao was a little unhappy when he heard it.
For a child, it is too much to listen to the words that are allowed to play after learning to finish. Shen Xi's trick was obviously too old-fashioned, and he immediately said hatefully: "If you don't say it, this palace will find someone to beat you until you say it." ”
Shen Xi stood there, raised his head, looked arrogant, and said, "Even if Your Highness uses force, the minister will not be moved." ”
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that even if he messed around again, he knew that Mr. couldn't beat him, in fact, he felt that there was no need to beat Mr. at all, he played by himself, and Mr. didn't dare to use force on him, he couldn't beat him, he couldn't scold, as long as he ignored Mr.
But now, this one has a lot of tricks in his head, and it's very interesting to listen to what kind of juju, I don't beat him, he doesn't tell him honestly...... But if you hit him, will he definitely say it?
"I'll give you silver, and I'll do it with gold. I have a lot of good things, all of which were given to me by my mother and uncle, and we exchanged! Zhu Houzhao saw that the hard one couldn't work, so he had to come to the soft one.
Shen Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, this bear child is very good at winning over people, he actually knows how to do both soft and hard, or he was born in the emperor's family, and his mind matures earlier than ordinary children.
Shen Xi shook his head again: "The duty of the minister is to teach the prince to read, as for fun...... The minister has passed that age, and the minister cannot accept it. ”
Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said, "You don't say yes, do you?" Then I will go and complain to my father, saying that you are not good at teaching, let him demote your officials, drive you out of the palace, and make you suffer for the rest of your life! ”
Shen Xi was very happy: "I can't ask for it." ”
Zhu Houzhao is young, and he also knows that what he wants most about being an official is to be promoted to a knight, Shen Xi heard that he was going to be demoted, and he actually laughed, what is the situation? After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, and he pondered: "If I kick him out of the palace, then who will I find in the future to tell me about Keju and other interesting things?" ”
Zhu Houzhao really didn't have any good way, so he had to go back and sit down in annoyance, glared at Shen Xi and said, "Then you say, what do you want to learn in this palace." But it's okay to talk about it, this time I learned, and you're going to teach me how to play Keju! ”
Shen Xi nodded slightly, sent the prepared "New Tang Book" and "Book of Sui" to Zhu Houzhao, and said, "Please Your Highness recite the contents of the "Book of Sui" and "Book of Tang". ”
Zhu Houzhao looked at it, immediately annoyed, and said angrily: "So much, how can I carry it?" ”
Shen Xi said: "Your Highness thinks it is too much, but Weichen has a way, Your Highness doesn't need to carry it, just let Weichen say it, Your Highness can remember it." If the spot check is made, His Highness can speak specifically about the content, and His Highness will pass the test. ”
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately felt interesting, and nodded and said, "Then you say, I'll listen." I don't want to listen to the Sui and Tang dynasties, if you tell me about the Song Dynasty again, what you said last time was quite interesting. ”
Shen Xi said: "In the Song Dynasty, the minister has already finished speaking, in fact, the content of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, His Royal Highness can also be very interesting if you listen carefully." ”
"Really? Say it, then. Zhu Houzhao's face was a little unconvinced.
In the past, the prince studied the twenty-first history a lot, and it was all a bunch of classical Chinese, and this book and that biography were not interesting at all. Now he has a request for others, so he can only listen to it.
Shen Xi laid out the case and continued to talk about his history of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Different from the genre recorded in the history books, the history told by Shen Xi is completely connected by stories, and the entire history of the Sui and Tang dynasties runs through his entire explanation.
Of course, Shen Xi is not all telling stories, in the explanation, he will intersperse allusions, biographies and famous sayings of historical celebrities to make the story look fuller, such as the dialogue between Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng, or the famous sayings of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other famous ministers, or Li Du's Tang poems, which can attract the prince's attention more than simply teaching the prince all aspects.
Because the popular history that Shen Xi said was not complete, many historical biographies did not mention it, which made those attendants shake their heads again and again...... What is this all about? I went up to speak better than him, so why should he be a lecturer while I was reading the record by the side?
In the morning, he talked about the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and in the afternoon, Shen Xi did a spot check, Zhu Houzhao's head was very good, and he could accurately answer the questions asked by Shen Xi.
Shen Xi could see that Zhu Houzhao had intelligence and learning conditions that were difficult for ordinary people to have, but he didn't know how to cherish it.
"Mr. Shen, I've answered everything, did you tell me what's going on with Keju?"
Zhu Houzhao was not depressed this day, after all, he was listening to stories, but he still didn't feel very enjoyable just listening to stories and not being able to go out to play.
Shen Xi said: "The prince fulfills the contract, and the minister must keep his promise, even if he is blamed by His Majesty, the minister promised the prince in advance." ”
"Okay, okay."
Zhu Houzhao's little head kept clicking like a chicken pecking rice, "If your father punishes you, this palace will support you." The stories you tell are very interesting, so it's good to tell more about them in the future, and if you learn as much as you listen to your stories, it's good. ”
Shen Xi picked up the pen and drew the appearance of Keju, Zhu Houzhao took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and said with some disappointment: "It's just such a thing?" What's the point? ”
Shen Xi said: "If the prince doesn't try to kick people, how can he know the fun?" ”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Gonggong Liu, find someone to make one for the palace, the palace is going to play with someone today." ”
Liu Jin's face was full of embarrassment: "Your Highness, this rush is ......"
"What in a hurry? It's just a ball, there are so many skilled craftsmen in the palace, how difficult is it to make one? Just go! ”
Liu Jin secretly scolded Shen Xi in his heart, but he could only obey the order, and Shen Xi began to pack up the case and leave. The prince took off a sachet containing musk from his body and threw it over: "This palace rewards you." ”
Shen Xi directly put the sachet on the table, and said solemnly: "No merit will not be punished, the minister is just performing his duties, if the prince is rewarded for this, it will appear that the reward and punishment are unfair." ”
With Zhu Houzhao's age, he obviously didn't quite understand what "unfair rewards and punishments" were, so he pondered carefully, scratched his head, and although he was puzzled, he finally nodded in response.
