Chapter 15: The Six Arts of a Gentleman

Half a decade has passed since that cotton hunt, and in the past few days, Zhao Wuxian's life has been ...... Very fulfilling?

Maybe it was because of what Gubu Ziqing said, or because of the white elk, Zhao Ying's attitude towards Wuxian changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and it seemed that he finally remembered his duties as a father and began to care about Wuxian...... Academic performance?

As soon as he cared, Zhao Wuxian's geniuses and evil tricks were all missing, and once the etiquette was complicated, or it was beyond the poetry and book allusions of the Zhao family's history, he didn't know anything.

After Zhao Ying passed the school examination a few times, he was angry and ashamed. Qi didn't learn and didn't know how to do it here, so that his newly born heirloom mind was poured with cold water again, and the fire was almost extinguished. The shame is because of this situation, and also because of his long-term neglect as a father.

Therefore, no matter what kind of psychology he had, after returning to the palace of the Zhao family, Wuxian had not had time to get the many rewards he expected, so he was first arranged by Zhao Ying to teach him the six arts of a gentleman.

Zhao Ying's personality is probably that the child's education is either directly ignored, but once he is concerned, he strives to achieve the ultimate!

So Zhao Wuxian's three teachers of the Six Arts are all one of the best people in the Zhao family's lower palace.

Among them, the teacher who taught etiquette and music was a blind musician named Shi Gao, who was the head of the lower palace music officials and commanded a huge team of dozens of people. He also served as the etiquette adviser of the Zhao family by the way, and some rare and ancient ceremonies could not be carried out when he encountered sacrifices or swallow feasts, and the head of the family, Zhao Ying, had to ask Shigao for advice.

The first thing he said when he saw Zhao Wuxian was: "If people are rude, they will not live, if they are rude, they will not succeed, and if the country is rude, they will be restless." ”

Etiquette is the rule, the way of life of different classes and different people, this chain maintains the current feudal order, although the ritual music in the late Spring and Autumn period has moved downward, but it has not been abandoned.

had to wait until the troubled times of the Warring States Period and the uprising at the end of Qin, the military merits were knighted, and the heroes of the common people came out one after another, crushing the entire order and then reshaping it with water, and the era of Shiqing who had descended for more than three generations came to an end, and the first Chinese empire of Buyi Qingxiang began.

The etiquette of the Jin Kingdom is very different from the original Zhou Chamber etiquette, but it is still extremely complicated in the eyes of modern people.

Although Shi Gao was blind, he could clearly know any of Zhao Wuxian's movements through his voice. During the drill, once he made a mistake, the scepter given to him by Zhao Ying was pulled over mercilessly, and Zhao Wuxian grinned.

"Teacher, can you actually see my movements?"

"Although the old man is blind to the naked eye, his heart is still open." Shi Gao's answer is always this sentence.

However, as the number of beatings became less and less frequent, the focus of study began to shift to the poems that the nobles had to memorize in order to communicate with them.

Shi Gao said again: "If you don't learn poetry, you can't speak." ”

Compared with the boring etiquette, Wuxian liked these classical poems very much in his previous life, and listening to Shi Gao recite "Pu Jia" and "July" in a subdued tenor voice, etc., is indeed a great enjoyment, which is much more meaningful than Western singers such as Pavarotti roaring on stage.

However, after a long time, he also discovered that Shi Gao was actually a very artistic old literary youth. This old young man will smash the piano and roar away when he is emotional, leaving no one to reminisce about the lingering sound that has spanned two thousand years.

I really want to record it so that future generations Chinese listen to the ancient rhyme of this poem......

But it's one thing for a layman to listen to the excitement, it's another thing to be proficient in music. In his previous life, he didn't have many musical cells, and he wasted the power of nine cows and two tigers, but he could be regarded as clearly distinguishing the five tones of palace, business, horn, sign, and feather in the spring and autumn period, and was honored to get the comment of Shi Gao's "playing the piano to the cow".

Lile barely passed, and the teacher of shooting and Yu was Zhao Wuxian's old acquaintance, the Wang Sun Period with a poker face and no smile.

In fact, if you really want to count it, the best emperor of the Zhao family is the doctor who is Wu Zheng, but he is Zhao Ying's special coachman, and his right-hand man, serving as the Sima of the Zhao army, commanding and training the clan soldiers, so he has no kung fu to teach Wuxian how to drive and shoot.

So it was the turn of the sergeant Wang Sun, who was second only to Post Wuzheng.

Zhao Wuxian was a little stunned by this guy who didn't eat oil and salt, would there be communication difficulties?

Imperial is driving, although the shirtless has proved the usefulness of riding alone in hunting, but to touch the aristocratic chariot war that has lasted for thousands of years is a fool's dream. Not only that, but he was also stuffed with a chariot by Zhao Ying, although he felt a little awkward, but in terms of the honor guard when he went out, he was finally on par with a few cheap brothers.

His imperial army was temporarily concurrently held by the king and grandson. And the candidate for the right of the car has not yet picked out a suitable one among the retainers of the Zhao family, and the bottom is that no one is optimistic about Wuxian yet, so no one takes the initiative to ask for help, compared with the fierce competition between the three brothers of Uncle Bozhong, the contrast is obvious.

As for the little friends brought out of the two stables of Yu Xi and Mu Xia, Zhao Wuxian also fulfilled his promise. At his request, the two were stripped of their affiliation from the stable, and their status was officially transformed into savages, that is, commoners of lower status. The two are now working as attendants by Wuxi's side, accumulating seniority or making meritorious deeds, and working hard to further become nationals, that is, high-ranking citizens.

Learning from Yu reminded Zhao Wuxian of the experience of taking a driver's license in his previous life, don't think that gentlemen with professional drivers don't need to learn this technology. What if the wheels of your chariot are hanging on a tree and getting stuck in the mud, so you can only grab one and run back? What if the royal dragon is burped by an arrow from the opposite side during the battle?

During the battle of Jin and Qi, Zhao's good friend Han Ju encountered this situation, after the sacrifice of Yu Rong, he was stunned to drive by himself, caught up with and captured the enemy's commander & monarch Qi Qinggong. It turned out that Qi Qinggong's coachman was bitten by a snake last night, so he could only let the monarch do it himself, although Qi Qinggong was not good at driving skills, he bumped and bumped the car all the way and hung on the tree, but the skill of pretending to be stupid and filling the flute was ordered maX, so he simply pretended to be a coachman and escaped by luck.

Of course, in the records of the Jin Kingdom, the gentleman Han Ju had already seen through Qi Qinggong's tricks and deliberately let him go. After all, this is Zhuxia's internal struggle, and if he captures the other party's monarch and comes back, he can't stay or kill. Send it to Chengzhou to offer a prisoner to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has to call Qi Hou an uncle, and he is embarrassed to accept it, everyone is embarrassed.

In addition, in the eyes of the people of the Spring and Autumn Period, it is also an honor for the children of the Qing family to drive for the monarch and the prince. But Wuxian felt that this was unlikely, because the Jin Kingdom had been "unmanned" for many years. The so-called three armies of the Jin State, in fact, are all Liuqing's private soldiers, and they only assemble when they have something, and they rush to be the first in a tailwind battle, and no one is willing to suffer losses in a tough battle, which is also one of the reasons why the Jin army has been weak in the struggle for hegemony in recent years.

Wang Sunqi is a man of action, more demonstrations, less explanations, when he handed over the bridle to Wuxian without saying a word, Wuxian found that driving is much more difficult than learning to drive a car!

It was a chariot at high speed, at least twenty yards, with four horses galloping in front of it, and beside it the wheeled carriage creaked as if it were about to fall apart. As a royal Rong, to see the six roads and listen to the eight directions, control the direction of the four horses, the chariot is difficult to turn, a slight mistake, may lead to the destruction of the car, in the Spring and Autumn wars, this situation is endless.

The road surface in the wilderness is either covered with gravel or muddy. This is also the reason why the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period usually had to agree on a time and place, and the battle was fought in a flat, dry and open field, in order to let the chariot play its role.

On the other hand, the maintenance and production of chariots limited the expansion and duration of war, and the art of war was also constrained by the rules and regulations of ancient etiquette.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Wu's new war thinking across the era appeared, Wu was able to rely on infantry phalanxes and guerrilla tactics to abuse the chariot formation of the former southern hegemon Chu State.

After running down a lap, Zhao Wuxian was sweating profusely, and his waist was about to break, during which he was afraid that the thin axle would break, and this terrible experience strengthened his determination to carry out reforms and promote cavalry in the future.

Well, the construction of this Canton car is also very unscientific and must be improved.

The third is dedicated to ...... Ask for collections, ask for recommendations
