Chapter 17: Unblessed
Even if there are more than 2,000 years apart, even if there are no chairs, no tables, and no blackboards, the classroom is still a classroom, and in the gentle wind and drizzle, the old minister of the Three Dynasties, Song Yu's tone of voice and frustration makes the students just want to doze off.
Xiong Jing didn't know that Taimiao's divination was related to his fate and future, and he didn't want to sleep at all at this time, but was only fascinated by Song Yu's story - there was no such simple and childish text as 'Spring is coming, and the little swallow flew back from the south', and students who have just entered the school should learn "Spring and Autumn" in their first year. The students studied "Spring and Autumn", and the teacher talked about "Biography" as a supplement. This is not a Chinese class - the Chinese class talks about the Book of Songs, this is a historical story class, every day in class is to read the "Spring and Autumn Period", and then listen to the historical story, after the story is told, Song Yu began to ask questions and summarize, which is good, which is evil, students have their own insights and understandings in the discussion.
'Teach the "Spring and Autumn Period", and suppress the evil for the sake of the good; Teach the "world", and abolish the gloom for it to show the virtue; Teach the "poem", and guide it to show virtue to show its ambition; Teach the "rites", so that you know the rules of the upper and lower; Teach the "music", to sparse its filth and suppress its floating; Teach the "language" to make its virtue clear, and know the affairs of the king with virtue to the people......
It is said that modern things must have shocked the ancients, but the education of the ancients will surely make future generations ashamed of themselves. Mr. Gakamiya teaches students not only knowledge, but also the most important thing he teaches is his temperament, so that he can seek students to suppress good and evil, and to know the rules of morality. On the first day of school, Song Yu, who taught "Spring and Autumn", said the above paragraph, and then gave the students four words: 'A gentleman is not a weapon'.
What is a distraction? Xiong Jing's understanding is that it is not knowledge-centered, not score-oriented, and Lantai Academy does not train undergraduates, masters, doctors, or engineers, which is the pursuit of mediocrity; The academy cultivates true aristocrats, whose temperament, words and deeds must conform to the demeanor of a gentleman, so that after the completion of the university, it can help the monarch govern the country and educate the people.
“…… Sacrifice Zhongzhuan, Zheng Bo suffered, so that the son-in-law of the sacrifice Zhong Yong was killed. Will enjoy the suburbs, Yongji knows. His mother said, 'Who is the father and the husband?' His mother said, "The man is the husband, the father is the same, and Hu Kebi is also." Then he told the priest Zhong and said: "The Yong family gave up his room, and will enjoy the son in the suburbs, I am confused, so I will tell you." 'Sacrifice Zhong kills Yongjiao, and the corpse is the king of the Zhou family. The public carried it out, saying: 'If you seek to reach a woman, it is better for her to die.' ”
In class, the teacher Song Yu read a story: Zheng Guo's sacrifice Zhong was in chaos, so Zheng Ligong asked Yongjie, the son-in-law of the sacrifice Zhong, to kill the sacrifice Zhong, and Yongjie planned to do it when he was invited to a banquet in the suburbs after receiving the order, and his wife Yongji knew and asked his mother: Father or husband, who is more important and close? His mother replied, 'The husband is the only one, and the father is one, and Hu Kebi is also'. It means that as long as a man can be a husband, but there is only one father, how can it be compared? So Yongji told his father about Yongjie's plan, and as a result, Yongjie was killed in the wild for the sacrifice, and Zheng Ligong sighed after reining in: "If you seek a woman, it is better for her to die." ’
Primary school students are all children, although according to the rules of the palace, the royal family Yuzi entered school at the age of eight (the prince did not enter the palace, and was taught by a special master invited by the king of Chu in the East Palace), the princess of the Gong family entered school at the age of thirteen, and the Yuzi concubine was fifteen years old, so Fang Zhuo showed his rank and inferiority, but this story is still too dark and complicated. As before, Song Yu looked around at all the students after telling this story and asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”
"I don't understand." The royal family was Xiong Jing alone, and the rest were thirteen or fifteen-year-old boys, and they all understood.
"Zijing is confused?" Xiong Jing sat in the first row, right in front of Song Yu, after all, he was not even eight years old, and most of the gentlemen had to ask Xiong Jing if he understood.
"Sir: The students are all puzzled." Xiong Jing knelt down and replied, he seemed to have heard the phrase 'If you seek a woman, it is better for her to die', but he didn't expect it to come from here.
"There is no incomprehension, is Yongji evil? Is it good or not? Song Yuxiao entered the school before he started, he thought that Xiong Jing would not be able to keep up, but he didn't expect Xiong Jing to be smart beyond imagination, and often have thought-provoking words and words that make people praise him, so he likes to ask Xiong Jing.
"Yongji loves her father, this woman's nature does not distinguish between good and evil; Uncle Zheng asked his courtiers to kill his uncle, as a courtesy, and it was not good. ”
Song Yu smiled when he heard this, and asked again: "If Zijing is Uncle Zheng, if he sacrifices to Zhong, what is it?" ”
The topic is a step-by-step process, which is no longer about distinguishing between good and evil, but about teaching political skills. Before Xiong Jing could answer, Song Yu asked the other students again: "You are waiting for Uncle Zheng, what if you sacrifice to Zhong?" ”
Before Song Yu's words fell, a person in the last row stood up, "Sir: If I am Uncle Zheng, a chaotic thief, I will kill him personally, and I will not fake Yongjiao's hand." ”
The person who spoke was fifteen-year-old Lu Chan, a child of the broken clan, probably worried that others would look down on him, and he was often proud of his bold and courageous behavior. Song Yu's smile did not decrease when he heard this, although Lu Yu was not wise, he had his courage.
"Sir: I will make friends with the State of Chu, take the State of Chu as an alliance, and drive the sacrifice of Zhong out of Zheng." Also sitting in the back row, fifteen-year-old Lu Gao knelt down and answered, his thoughts were completely different from Lu Tao, it seemed that life was hard and tribulation.
"Sir, I will sacrifice to the Taimiao, and I will do this for the auspicious side......" Another student knelt down and replied, but his answer was immediately refuted, "Bu Yi decides, what is the decision if you don't doubt it?" Those who are in trouble should be killed quickly. ”
Once it was said, more than thirty students chattered and had any answers. All in all, the lower the seat, the more reliable the answers, because the students are older and have more experience; The higher the front row, the more outrageous the answer, except for Xiongjing.
After a period of chaos, the person who answered was basically finished, Song Yu looked at Xiong Jing and said with a smile: "What is Zijing?" ”
"......" Xiong Jing groaned, and asked instead of answering: "Dare to ask Mr.: Sacrifice Zhong is Zheng Zhi's doctor, how can he be specialized?" ”
"Huh." Song Yu was obviously stunned, then laughed, and he nodded in approval: "Good, great good." The priest Zhong is Zheng Zhi's doctor, and his ability to specialize in Zheng Guo is declining. What is Zijing? Kill? Allied to a great power? ”
For those who arbitrarily assert national power, either kill or expel them, this is a summary of the students' answers, and there is indeed no better way. When Song Yu asked again, Xiong Jing only said, "I'll kill him myself." ”
The whole class quieted down to listen to Xiong Jing's answer, and heard that his answer was 'kill him personally', Lu Chan, who was sitting in the back row, shouted 'good', and Lu Gao, who replied 'take Chu State as an alliance to drive the sacrifice to Zhong out of Zheng', couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: Prince Jing is too young! The other students had different expressions, and many of them chose to kill the priest, but they didn't do it themselves, but they wanted to change to a courtier who could do things.
"The dangerous state does not enter, the chaotic state does not live, and those who know their fate do not stand under the rock wall. Kill him and die, what can he do? Song Yu asked again, he felt that Xiong Jing seemed to be too reckless, and killing him personally was not a good choice.
"Asking a courtier to kill his uncle is unkind; The king avoids behind his courtiers, and he is not brave. If you are not benevolent or brave, how can you be king? ”
Xiong Jing was the shortest of all the students, but every time he spoke, the results were impressive. 'How can you be a king if you are not merciful?' Not to mention the other students, even Song Yu also stood on the spot - with his understanding of the Chu kings of the Chu State in the past dynasties, there are only Xianwen Wang, Xianwu Wang, Xianzhuang Wang, Xianzhao Wang, Xianwei Wang These virtuous monarchs can only do this.

The schoolwork continued, and in the temple, the ancient prayer was nearing the end, and the burning tortoise shell was finally taken out. In this divination, the prince of Chu is a chaste person, the Guan Ji is a divination person, and the Guan Tu is a diviner. The sadato is the one who asks questions, the diviner is the one who burns and prays, and the final judgment is that it is the Zhanren who interprets the omen.
He was already praying before the tortoise shell was sent to Guanyu, and under the persuasion of his brother, he no longer had the intention of helping Prince Jing to become king, but in front of this tortoise shell that determined the future kingship of the Chu State, he was still a little excited.
The tortoise shell is full of burning signs, resembling the word "Bu", which is also the origin of the word "Bu". The tortoise shell in front of him has some 'Bu' words downward, which is unlucky, and some 'Bu' characters are upward, which is auspicious, but the miraculous thing is that the omen patterns on the tortoise shell have never been seen before, and he looked carefully and looked at it, and it was indeed unprecedented. God bless!
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at Guan Xiang, not that he was afraid that he would make up divination - after interpreting the divination, others would have to verify the divination, the state of Chu has been using divination to determine national policy for a long time, and the ministers all know some divination techniques, and they are so concerned because the divination results are too important.
"Dare to tell the king: this is not the time to establish the eldest son." The silent Taimiao, the sound of watching can even be heard by the servants outside the door.
"What's the wrong time?" King Chu's heart was still hanging, and he didn't understand how this could be the result. He is a chaste man, and the proposition is written by him - with the head and tail of the tortoise shell as the axis, and the left side is written: Xiong Jing is the eldest son; What is written on the right is: Xiong Han is the eldest son. The tortoise shell burns in the charcoal fire, and the signs on both sides must be different. On the left, Xiong Jing is the eldest son; On the right, Ji takes Xiong Han as the prince, how can it be that 'this is not the time to establish the eldest son'.
The King of Chu was full of doubts, but Chun Shenjun Huang Xie was extremely disappointed, and Guan Ji received a lot of money from him, even if he didn't help him, he would not be biased. And he also knew the proposition engraved on the tortoise shell, and he had to do this...... Remembering that last time was also a failure, he couldn't help but think: Could it be that the first king really didn't want Han'er to be the king of Chu?
"Where is the tortoiseshell?" The voice of the king of Chu was weak.
"Here." Guanshu carefully served the tortoise shell.
"Why...... How so? King Chu also looked at it again and again, and his doubts were not only not solved, but deepened - the omen patterns on both sides of the tortoise shell were actually the same, how could this be possible! The thickness of the tortoise shell on both sides is not uniform, and the strokes of the words 'jing' and 'fierce' are not the same. He has divined a lot in his life and has never encountered anything like this.
"The first king didn't want a widow to be a big son?" Only the king of Chu, who had two sons-in-law, came up with a divination similar to that of Guanyu.
"This is not the time to choose the eldest son." Guanyu is still the previous point of view: it is not that the gods and kings are not blessed, and the time has not yet come.
