Chapter 217: Why Read
Yun Xi sent Mei Yin away, and immediately asked Chang Ruijiang to call Wen Yao, Baoqing and the three of them over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Two days ago, Yun Xi promised to enlighten Wen Yao in person with Baoqin, and then thought that since this was the case, then call Baoqing and the three of them to go to school together, so he told Xi Yao the next day.
Of course, Xiyao would not object, she told her in the morning, and in the afternoon, the four small tables were made and sent to the Qianqing Palace.
But I don't know what happened two days ago, Yun Xi felt that there were a lot of things, and he didn't find time until today.
Wang Xi instructed the little eunuch to put everything out. After a while, four children arrived.
Baoqing walked in and said to Yun Xi with a smile: "Big nephew, do you want to teach us to read?" ”
When Yun Xi heard her name, he immediately felt that his head was big, and he already had a premonition that if today's lecture was not successful, Baoqing would be the biggest problem.
The truth is exactly what Yunxi expected. Baoqing always interrupts Yunxi in class, and from time to time asks some questions that are not related to the class, and has divergent thinking to talk to Min'er and others. Siqi and Wen Yao naturally won't talk to her; Min'er didn't talk to her at first, but she couldn't help it later.
Yunxi couldn't punish Min'er in front of Baoqing, let alone punish Baoqing, so an hour was delayed.
During this period, Princess Ningguo came and asked to go to Chuzhou with Mei Yin, and Yun Xi agreed without much thought.
In the evening, Yunxi took Wen Yao to Chengqian Palace. casually mentioned to Huqin the enlightenment to them this afternoon.
Of course, Baoqin is dissatisfied with Baoqing, but as a child, she can't care about others. I also have to make an expression of distraction to comfort Yunxi.
In the afternoon of the next day, Yun Xi gathered several children again to enlighten him. Yun Xi was ready for a long-term war with Baoqing today, but today Baoqing's mother Zhang Meiren came.
Zhang Meiren immediately saluted Yunxi after seeing Yunxi, and said: "Your Majesty, Baoqing is young and ignorant, please don't worry about her." Then he fell to his knees and buckled his head.
Yesterday, Zhang Meiren didn't know about it. She knew that Baoqing was playing with Min'er and Siqi outside the West Sixth Palace, but since Xiyao hadn't looked for her, and in her opinion, it was nothing for the princess to play tricks on a few people, so she just said a few words and pulled her down.
But after Baoqing fell asleep last night, Zhang Meiren occasionally heard the palace maid serving Baoqing talk about today's events, and was shocked. The next morning, Baoqing had just gotten up and was not dressed properly, so Zhang Meiren came in to teach Baoqing a lesson.
Zhang Meiren was really angry at that time. Forget about playing tricks on people, it's nothing to destroy something as long as Yun Xi doesn't care about it, but when Yun Xi is enlightened, she makes trouble, and Baoqin doesn't hate her to death? Even Xiyao won't be happy.
Baoqing was beaten for the first time in his life, and he cried earth-shatteringly, but fortunately, Zhang Meiren closed the door tightly before the beating, so the people in the other palaces didn't hear it.
After the fight, Zhang Meiren reasoned with Baoqing again, then cleaned her up at noon, and took her to Qianqing Palace in the afternoon.
Yun Xi saw Zhang Meiren, who was constantly buttoning her head, and she was going on. Yun Xi smiled and said, "Concubine Zhang (honorific title), Baoqing is still young, and I don't care." Hurry up, concubine. ”
Zhang Meiren said: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't care, the concubine will be guilty." ”
Yun Xi talked to her for a long time before Zhang Mei stood up and asked Baoqing a few words in private before returning to her bedroom.
Today, Baoqing sat on his futon very honestly and didn't say a word. Yun Xi also knew the reason, so he didn't speak.
Yun Hee decided to repeat what he said yesterday. Yun Xi said: "Let's read the "Three Character Classic" first. I read one sentence, and you follow one sentence. At the beginning of man, nature is good. ”
The four children said, "At the beginning of man, nature is good. ”
"Sex is similar, Xi is far away."
"Sex is similar, Xi is far away."
……
After reading it, Yun Xi said, "I'll explain it today." ”
......, and then the next sentence. Meng Mu, do you know who it is? Raise your hand in reply. ”
Siqi raised his hand and said, "Uncle, I know, it is Mencius's mother. ”
Yun Xi said: "Yes, Siqi is really good. Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor. These two sentences are an allusion, telling the story of Meng's mother's three migrations. ”
Mencius's father died when he was young, and his mother, the Brothers, no longer married. Mencius lived next to the cemetery with his mother. Mencius and the children of the neighborhood learned to kneel and cry as adults, and played the game of handling funerals. When Mencius's mother saw this, she frowned and said, "This place is not suitable for my children to live in!" Mencius's mother took Mencius to the bazaar. ......, they moved to the vicinity of the slaughterhouse. ......, they moved again. This time, they moved closer to the school. ......, Mencius's mother said with satisfaction, "This is where my son should live!" "And so he lived in this place."
Yun Xi asked the four children below and said, "Have you remembered these two sentences now?" ”
Min'er argued and said: "It turns out that these two sentences mean this, I remember: Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor." The other three also nodded and said, "Remember: Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor." ”
Yun Xi praised them again.
Then Yun Xi explained the last two sentences, and put 'Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous party, teach five sons, and the name is famous. These four sentences are also explained.
Then because Yunxi explained very slowly, half an hour passed. Yun Xi felt that it was not good for such a young child to learn too much, so he said, "Let's stop here today." ”
Min'er was the first to stand up and said, "Father, let's go back." ”
Yun Xi said, "Well, you guys go back." ”
Min'er took Baoqing and Siqi away.
Yun Xi took out things to write and calculate again, and when it was almost time to eat, he took Wen Yao to the Chengqian Palace holding the qin.
The next day, Yun Xi said to all the auxiliary officials and a few Zhongshu scholars: "I plan to enlighten the emperor's eldest son, Wen Yao, and the two princesses, and I want to find a gentleman." ”
"I have requirements for enlightened gentlemen, who must be very patient with children, and be very familiar with classic books such as the "Three Character Classic", and be able to explain the words and sentences in simple terms."
Also, it is important to make the child feel friendly, not to have a vicious face. ……”
"Someone recommended it, and I want to try it out for an interview myself. Let him give a lecture to the prince and the princess in front of me, and he will not take what is not in line with me. ”
"As long as the above requirements are met, regardless of whether they are famous or not, regardless of age, I will accept them."
The people below looked at each other. At the beginning, Yun Xi said that he would find an enlightened gentleman for the prince and princess, and everyone was very happy. Now he is just giving lectures to the eldest son and princess of the emperor, and if the emperor appreciates it, it is also justified to teach the crown prince in the future.
They were thinking about recommending someone they knew that they thought was suitable for teaching, when they heard a lot of requests from Yun Hee, and then they didn't know if they wanted to recommend their friends.
Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, no matter the fame, no matter the age, the ministers and others understand, but why are there other requirements? ”
Yun Xi said: "My royal children, whether male or female, do not have to work hard for the imperial examination, and they only study for reason. ”
"If you want to be reasonable, you need to not only write down the content of the book, but also know the meaning of the words written in the book."
But there is no need to pick out the meaning of these words word by word, just know what the saint wants to explain. Therefore, it is required to be very familiar with classic books such as "The Three Character Classic", and be able to explain the words and sentences in simple terms. ”
"Children, there must have been a lot of questions to ask when I just read a book, and what happened naturally at this time was not a doubt about what the saint said. At this time, you need to answer patiently, and you can't pay perfunctory, and know is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and you can't answer randomly. ”
In addition, the reason why children should feel familiar is that they are often reluctant to ask their own questions when faced with people who are afraid. Asking Mr. to teach the child to read is not to seek a psychological comfort, but to really make the child reasonable, so if it doesn't work, it is better not to ask. ”
"I want to find someone who is neither humble nor arrogant, because my family is royal after all, and many people are afraid or stuttering. Whether it's stammering or being scared, it's not easy to teach well. If it weren't for the fear of not being able to keep it secret, I would like them to go to a private school in the private sector. ”
Yun Xi babbled a lot. Waiting for Yun Xi to finish speaking, Fang Xiaoru pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty's words have won the true meaning of the sage to make people read, if everyone in the world can read like Your Majesty, then the world is a reasonable person." After that, Fang Xiaoru went to the end.
Fang Xiaoru is a great Confucian in the world, and he is so praised that Rao is Yunxi can't help but feel a little proud. But he didn't expect Fang Xiaoru to say immediately after he got up: "Your Majesty knows that the purpose of studying is like this, why do you still have to take the imperial examination?" ”
"Even if you want to carry out the imperial examination, why do you want to carry out the eight-strand text, and use Zhu Zi (Zhu Xi)'s "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" as the correct solution? Although Zhu Zi is a master of Confucianism, his meaning may not be the same as the original intention of Confucius. Fang Xiaoru really respected Zhou rites and advocated following the original intention of Confucius. And the Zhou Dynasty obviously did not have a imperial examination system, so he would say so.
What other reason could there be? In fact, it is to imprison the minds of intellectuals. However, although Yun Xi also has his own ideas to implement, they are not, or not entirely Zhu Xi's thoughts. There are also good things in Zhu Xi's thoughts, and it is normal to coincide.
So Yun Xi said, "I know it. When I have time, I will discuss it with the secretaries. Then, without waiting for them to say anything else, he turned to his main topic and said, "If you have the gentleman I just mentioned, recommend it to me." ”
Then he immediately began to deal with the government again, so that Fang Xiaoru, who still had something to say, could only go back.
