Maoshan Forest is the residence of Sihao, among which there are many children of rich families to come and go, Lu Shizhi saw that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the mountains and mountains are stacked, the pine and green bamboo linger in it, the clear water and blue sky surround the surroundings, and the heart is greatly surprised.

Thinking that Zhang Liang was talking about the master here, Lu Shizhi immediately ordered his entourage to unload the money, and personally rushed to the mountain with Liu Ying's letter.

The so-called Si Hao is the four people who read poetry and books in Dongyuangong, Qili Ji, Xia Huanggong, and Mr. Jiaoli, who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, teach their children, or meet to taste tea and discuss Taoism.

It's hard to say whether he has real talent or not, but he has prestige, at least there is no doubt about his morality, when Lu Shizhi rushed to the bamboo house, he only heard the sound of the piano coming from inside.

When the sound of the piano was first settled, Lu Shizhi slowly knocked on the door, "Dare to ask the four gentlemen, Lu Shi can come to visit before the contemptible Lu Shi, and please give Xiaosheng thin noodles." ”

Soon after, an old man opened the bamboo door, and there were three other people behind him, all wearing dark gray clothes, as if they had just finished tasting an ancient song.

"We are the four elders of the Maoshan Forest, isn't this a disciple of study? Or is there something else? Sitting in the first place, the old man with the guqin in front of him first said that he was the Duke of Dongyuan, and he was also the eldest among several people.

"No, the character and learning of the four gentlemen are well known all over the world, presumably His Majesty once sent someone to invite the four gentlemen out of the mountain, and I came here for this." Lu Shizhi said directly to the point.

"If you come for this matter, please go back, how can we serve the country when we are old and weak, and we are all excellent people in the country today." Dong Yuan Gong said slowly, and the other three were also the heads.

When Lu Shizhi heard this, he immediately waved his hand, "The four gentlemen are wrong, Your Majesty's character is well known, and there are indeed some flaws, but this time I came not by the order of Your Majesty, but by the order of the crown prince Liu Ying." ”

Emperor Xia next to him was a little suspicious, thinking that Lu Shizhi deliberately wanted to trick the four of them into the palace, and then said: "I heard that the prince's master is the king of Pingnan, how could he find our four people who are in their old age." ”

"A few people don't know, this time to come to the king of Pingnan is also a strong support, he once warned the prince, within the four seas, knowledge and morality are difficult to master, so to visit the famous teacher, like Confucius, the strong are respected, the weak are taught, the prince is respectful, naturally obey the advice of the king of Pingnan, so he specially ordered a certain to invite four old gentlemen."

Lu Shi said that, he immediately took out the silk book from his sleeve and presented it to the Dongyuan Gong in front of him, "This is the crown prince's silk book, and I invite a few gentlemen to observe it a little." ”

Dongyuan Gong also didn't expect Liu Ying to treat them like this, and immediately unfolded the silk book, the book said: "The disciple Liu Ying has seen four gentlemen, and bowed his head suddenly, and now Ying studied under the king of Pingnan, learning poetry and etiquette, and the art of war strategy. ”

"Ying knew the names of the four gentlemen in the Chang'an School Palace, but the study was heavy, and it was inconvenient to go out of the palace to serve the queen mother, so he was treated by his uncle, and I hope you can give Ying knowledge."

"Today's initial decision, the father ruled the country, physically and mentally tired, Ying wanted to know a lot of talents, to help the father cook the four seas, I have heard for a long time that you live in the mountains and forests, ascetic learning, to the Han Dynasty, it has been more than 50 years, since it is a deep understanding of the Confucian classics, the Zhou rite Qin system, the world wants to be a teacher, tens of thousands."

"However, Mr. Zhu is more than eighty, and the question in the belly is for the purpose of saving the country and saving the people, if it is not taught to Ying, the four gentlemen of the Ying Dynasty govern the country, and they will not bury their knowledge in vain, so that the world will not hear it."

"Yingxin is very sincere, I hope that all gentlemen will not abandon Ying, accept them as disciples, and serve Yingding at all times, and dare not disobey, and the disciples will bow again."

Dongyuan Gong saw it and passed the letter to everyone, it was simply tempting, the four of them didn't want to do something, but Liu Bang had some ruffian characteristics, which made them very disgusted, so they didn't enter the office, and now I see Liu Ying's silk book is sincere, quite reasonable, open disciple, closed disciple, very respectful, as the crown prince, can put his identity so low, what reason is there not to go out of the mountain to administer it?

However, as the boss, Dongyuan Gong was naturally embarrassed to speak first, so he said to the other three: "The old man thinks that the crown prince is very humble, this is the way of man, what do you three think?" ”

Xia Huanggong is interesting, and he said directly down the slope: "Although Your Majesty is mean, but the crown prince studied under the king of Pingnan, and has his own humble character. ”

Lu Shizhi was quite excited on the side, and then said: "What the old gentleman said is reasonable, the four of them went to Chang'an School Palace with me, among which there are many great Confucian people, and a few of them can also communicate with King Pingnan and others when they arrive in Chang'an, isn't it beautiful." ”

The four of them bowed slightly, immediately packed their luggage, dismissed the students, and rushed to Chang'an with Lu Shizhi, although the Chang'an School Palace was only a few years old, it has obviously become a holy place for exchanges between the sons and hundreds of schools.

And at this moment in the East Palace, Lu Pheasant is sitting in front of Liu Ying, Liu Ying is more than ten years old at this moment, quite knows etiquette, and when he saw his mother coming, he didn't dare to answer at all after saluting.

"Ying'er, if Jiancheng Hou invites four old gentlemen, what should you do?" Lu Pheasant said quite seriously.

"The children worship them as teachers, and they are no different from the king of Pingnan, who respects them, and they dare not treat them badly." Liu Ying said in a low voice.

Lu Pheasant sipped his mouth slightly and warmed the tea, "It's not the point how to treat them, where are the four of them comparable to the important ministers in the palace, the queen mother does these things not to make those four people famous, but to preserve your status." ”

"As long as they come, they usually have to take important ceremonies and banquets with them, and ask immediately when they encounter something they don't understand, remember to ask immediately, even if your father is beside him, don't twist and pinch, remember?"

"The child remembers, does the queen mother have any other commands?" Liu Ying asked slowly.

Lu Pheasant waved his hand slightly, "The heirs of King Pingnan are three or four years old, I see that they are smart and clever, you can make friends with them in the future, with the wisdom of King Pingnan, the son will definitely not be simple, stay until your father is ten thousand years old, maybe they can help you balance the old ministers in the court, and Lu Wei, this kid should pay more attention, if it is not good, it will be a stubborn stone." ”

"The child knows, if there is nothing to do, the child will go to the school palace first, and the uncle should come back at this time, and the child will not be there at that time, it will inevitably be a little rude." Liu Ying said quite solemnly.

"Well, go ahead." Lu Pheasant said casually.

Seeing Liu Ying out of the East Palace, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but sigh a little, "This kid's poetry and etiquette are all good talents, and his gentleness and humility are impeccable, but it's a pity that he is a little cowardly." ”
