CHAPTER 40
Tumbling in the air quickly skimmed over the images in his mind, as if using time as a kind of reference. By www.biquge.info time he saw the picture again, it seemed to be some time later.
The five-year-old boy was alone in the yurt, and through the curtain of the door, he could see Qi Chi running around happily.
He looked around and stayed in Wang Da's study.
Although the space in the yurt is large, it is inconvenient to build a gatehouse, so it is separated by a curtain.
Wang Da was not in the house at this time, so the curtain of the study was also tied to one side, keeping it ventilated, and it could be seen very clearly from where he was.
The furnishings in the study are simple, with only a few rows of shelves densely packed with books.
Just take a look...... Presumably, that person wouldn't blame him, would he?
I also thought in my heart, although I tried my best to restrain my actions, but I still felt itchy. He bit his lip and crept into the study, looking up at Wang Da's bookshelf, and then took down one of the books.
Although he could read, some books were too difficult for him, so he only picked a relatively thin book.
"Is it a combination of vertical and horizontal?" You will also see the book cover muttering to itself, what a strange name.
"I didn't expect you to hesitate for so long and actually choose that book." Wang Da's voice suddenly sounded from behind Yijiang, which made him tremble, and he hurriedly hid the book behind him and turned around.
"I'm sorry, sir......" Yijiang didn't even dare to look up at Wang Da's face.
"It doesn't matter." Wang Da smiled, pulled Yijiang to the side of the seat and sat down, and sat down in front of him. "The book in your hand is written by the sage 'Wang Su' of this faction, and it is probably the only book that tells the way of vertical and horizontal in the world."
Seeing that Yijiang's face was full of ignorance, he poured two cups of tea and slowly explained it to him.
"I protect the country's heavenly machine, and I learned from everyone in the Warring States Period, Guiguzi Wang Xu, and left the mantle in Yandang Mountain. The first teacher Wang Su, when he was desperate, he inadvertently got the mantle of Guiguzi, took books from the mound to learn the art of vertical and horizontal, and later got acquainted with Xiang Yu, the ancestor of Chu, by the Wujiang River. Wang Su was impressed by Xiang Yu's pride and friendship, and was determined to help him achieve hegemony. He tried everything he had learned in his life, fought wits and courage with Han Xin and others many times, and finally cleared the obstacles, killed Liu Bang in Kyoto, and helped Gaozu win the world.
Because all the things he has learned in his life are passed on by Wang Xu, in order to show respect, he is willing to change his surname to Wang, and continue this school after the last wish of his ancestors. After the unification of the Chu State, the ancestor Wang Su hung up the crown and left, leaving only a letter saying, "I have no intention of being high and powerful, and I only wish the world peace". Later, Gaozu asked for three invitations, but the ancestor insisted on not coming out, only saying that he would not be born when the Chu State was in danger. Therefore, Gaozu remembered Wang Su's talent, awarded him the honor of a national teacher, and left a testament. 'But whoever the national teacher says, the descendants of the Xiang family must obey! ’”
"But it's also a shame. The first master Wang Su left a posthumous work of 'Vertical and Horizontal', which has been passed down for seven generations, but no disciple can fully comprehend the art of vertical and horizontal except for the first teacher. ”
Wang Da sighed deeply.
It is easy to say, but it does not contain too many factors such as astronomy, geography, mathematics, organs, the art of war, agriculture, politics, etc., and it is really difficult to fully understand it, let alone apply what you have learned.
And the ancestor has a cloud, this lineage, talent is better than learning, only those who are not bound by the things of the world, can hope to see the truth.
"When I was on the road, I had already heard of Mr. Da's name. Mr. was regarded as a guest of honor by the King of the Western Regions, and everyone in the Western Regions praised him, but he knew everything about the world. It is too humble for the gentleman to speak like this now. Yijiang looked at Wang Da and didn't believe what he said at all.
But after thinking about it, he still put the book in his hand on the table and lowered his head silently.
If even Wang Da said that he couldn't understand the book, he must not be able to understand it either.
Wang Da saw his movements and laughed. He rummaged through the book and asked casually. "Will you also read and practice calligraphy on weekdays?"
"When Aung was alive, he taught the boy himself." It will also be answered.
"Oh?" Wang Da looked at him with interest. "Even if your father teaches it himself, he must have some knowledge, why don't I take the exam for you?"
"Sir, please." also tightened my heart.
Should it come or is it coming?
"As a national teacher, we naturally take it as our responsibility to assist the emperor. Why don't you just talk about what is the emperor's capital? ”
Yijiang looked at Wang Da's smiling eyes and did not answer directly, a little hesitant in his heart. "The matter of the monarchy, the kid does not dare to talk about it."
Wang Da's problem couldn't be more obvious, it is an examination school that only disciples have. If he doesn't satisfy Wang Da, he will probably be rejected by Mr. and rushed home, right? But what kind of answer can be considered satisfactory to him......
I also couldn't help but think of Qi Chi's words.
Tianji Yimai only accepts one disciple in the first generation, and he has already accepted Xiao Yugui as an apprentice.
So, no matter how you answer, in fact, you can only be rejected?
Wang Da smiled and watched Yijiang's expression change, and saw that his eyes revealed unwillingness and stubbornness, he felt quite interesting, and did not say anything.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Since they are all rejected, it doesn't matter what they say!
Yijiang gritted his teeth and raised his head to look directly at Wang Da. "In the eyes of a child, the capital of an emperor lies in his heart, vision, and determination. Those who are open-minded can accommodate virtuous ministers, can accept the words of a hundred schools, and can include black and white ceremonies. For example, Chu Gaozu, with the virtuous minister Wang Su by his side, delegated power to the virtuous, did not guess or be jealous, so that the Chu State could flourish for a hundred years. Those who have a vision, weigh the weight, the essence of the hole, and look forward to the future, can always anticipate things first, such as the Qin Emperor, so that the world is chess. Those who make decisions are right and wrong, loyal and righteous, aware of the current situation, and know advance and retreat. For example, the king of Zhou Wen, the teacher of loyalty and righteousness, the gift of the people, is willing to be the world's foolish loyalty, and the king of the dead, so he can get the country. ”
This...... What a five-year-old can say?
Wang Da was stunned when he heard Yijiang's words.
Not to mention the age of five, even a ten-year-old child, who reads through the Four Books and the Five Classics, may only be able to answer the words of bloodline, virtue and other texts, and does not know the meaning. But as soon as he heard Yijiang's answer, he knew that this was what the boy in front of him was really thinking.
If you compare Qi Chi and Yi Jiang, the advantages and disadvantages of qualifications are simply obvious.
"I think that's wrong." When there was silence in the study, Xiao Yugui didn't know when he walked in and heard what Yijiang had said.
He took a deep look at Yijiang, and Lang Sheng said. "The emperor's assets should be the five virtues of 'courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith'. Rule the country with courtesy, discern with those who know, help the world with benevolence, be fair and selfless with righteousness, and honor the emperor with faith. Etiquette, such as Qi Huan Gong, make the military and government unified, and order by law, so as to have the strength of the country. Wise men, such as Jin Wengong, are humble and studious, can attract wise men, and judge right and wrong. The righteous should be the grandson of the ancestors, and only by governing the country with justice can the Chu country be strong for a thousand years. Benevolent, such as Song Xianggong, is admired by the world's wise men. And those who disobey the faith, such as King Chu Huai, waste the national strength and gain the enemy.
Forgive the return, the emperor's high temple, the considerable place is limited, and it is too little to make a decision in person, and ask for appointment and dismissal. The capital of the emperor lies in the five virtues. Knowing people and making good use of them, you can recruit wise men, so as to keep the world peaceful and the rivers and mountains eternal. ”
"Well answered!" Wang Da nodded frequently, his face full of appreciation.
Whether it was Yijiang or Xiao Yugui, the answers of the two were beyond his expectations.
He smirked and looked at the two of them. "But do you know that there can only be one disciple in the Heavenly Machine Generation?"
"If Master decides otherwise, it will be understood." Xiao Yugui's face was calm and composed, unmoved by Wang Da's words.
Yijiang bit his lip, clenched his fists, tightened and loosened.
"Sir, Rong Rong. If Mr. is concerned that there are already senior disciples in front of him, and he does not want to accept another disciple, he will also wish to worship Mr. as the ancestor. I only hope that Mr. will also take it in around, and it will be on demand from time to time. ”
