Chapter VII School Down

After Guan Xuqing finished asking for peace, he went directly to the study. There, his Chinese teacher, Weng Tongsu, was already waiting for him.

Weng, who is in his early forties, has kind eyes and a good body. Bearded. He was once the mentor of Emperor Tongzhi, and successively served as the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Minister of Prime Minister Yamen, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Households. He is very knowledgeable and accomplished. Moral articles are enough to teach the example.

At this time, Weng Tongsu held a brush in his hand and wrote the three big characters "heaven, earth, and man" on rice paper, and the font was vigorous and powerful.

"Your Majesty, do you know these three words?" Weng Tongsu looked at him with pleasantness.

"Recognize. Heaven, earth, and people" just kidding, I am a highly talented student who graduated from a famous university in modern society, and the ancient literature may not be as good as you, which other can I understand better? Guan Xuqing replied perfunctorily.

"Your Majesty, you are not enlightened, how can you be literate?" Weng Tongsu looked at him a little strangely.

"Well, Amma taught me. I learned it in the palace. Guan Xuqing has never bragged and said softly.

"Good. The emperor writes and reads. Weng Tongsu took a brush and handed it to Guangxu.

I haven't touched this thing for a while, and since I graduated from elementary school, where have I ever taken a brush to write? However, Guan Xuqing's own handwriting is good, so it shouldn't be too embarrassing.

But I'm still a kid who hasn't read a book or held a pen, so I can't write very well. Guan Xuqing wrote the words heaven, earth, and man crookedly.

"Not bad, not bad. Your Majesty, do you know what this heaven, earth, and man means? ”

Guan Xuqing shook his head.

"The sky is above the head, the earth is under the feet, and the sky is the earth. Between the world and the earth, if the white horse passes through the gap, it is all of a sudden. This is the words of Zhuangzi, which means that life exists between heaven and earth, like a horse passing through a gap, very fast. Everything flourishes, and there is growth and decline. Therefore, if the emperor wants to study and create a great cause, he must seize the time. Confucius also said: One person can do a hundred, and a person can do a thousand. If you can do this, although you are foolish, you will be clear, and if you are soft, you will be strong. That is to say, what others do with one point of effort, one part of one's own effort; If others use 10 points, they will use 1,000 points themselves. If you can learn in this way, the foolish will become wise, and the weak will become strong. Weng Tongsu said.

Oh my God, it's better to have modern education. At the beginning of the school year, the teacher just said that you should study hard and make progress every day. For stupid students, I will also tell the allusion of the stupid bird flying first, where to move out of Confucius and Zhuangzi like this......

Guan Xuqing nodded.

After talking for a while, Jing Shou came to teach Guan Xu Qing Manchu. That's a big one. I almost didn't take Guan Xu to go crazy, and in the past, a teacher in class had a rare doze off and deserted more than 40 students in the class. The teacher can't find out, but now it's good, one-on-one teaching. You can't be lazy if you want to.

In this way, I finally stayed up until the afternoon. It was Guan Xuqing's turn to fight for the physical education class.

Dong Liang had already changed into a set of strong clothes and waited in a vacant lot in the back garden. Guan Xuqing was surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids and walked slowly.

"The minister greets the emperor." Dong Liang knelt on the ground.

"Hurry up, Master Dong, you are now the emperor, you don't need to make this big gift. The student is here to do it for you. Guan Xuqing said.

"Your Majesty." Dong Liang was not polite and got up directly.

"Master Dong is Han?" Guan Xuqing asked suspiciously, the person surnamed Dong should not be a Manchurian, right, but how can the Queen Mother, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, who is responsible for the security of the imperial city, be relieved to hand over to a Han Chinese?

"Back to the emperor, the minister was originally a Han Chinese, and his father had a meritorious service for destroying the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. He was rewarded by the Queen Mother as a person with a positive yellow flag. Dong Liang looked serious and did not smile.

"Oh, where is Master Dong's father on an errand now?" Guan Xuqing asked, it should be the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan who exterminated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it could be carried to the upper three banners by the queen mother, and let his son be the commander of the Shenji Battalion. It must be a general who has made great contributions and holds military power. If you can get the stammer, let him be loyal to himself, then he will not be afraid of the old witch.

"My father sacrificed his life for the country when the British and French forces attacked Tianjin." Dong Liang lowered his head and said.

Guan Xu was confused when he heard it, he Lao Tzu had a merit in destroying the balance of heaven! That should have been after the Anglo-French forces invaded the city of Beijing and forced Prince Gong to sign the Beijing Treaty. Only then did the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan exterminate the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom! Then why did he hang up when the British and French forces were still fighting Tianjin? Then how did he destroy the Heavenly Balance Heaven? Did he look at me as small and deliberately bluff me?

"Master Dong, I don't know anything, and I ask Master Dong to teach me." Guan Xuqing wants to ask to understand, it's hard to find a general, why is it just hanging up!

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"I heard Mr. Weng say that the Heavenly Kingdom of Tianping was destroyed after the signing of the Treaty of Beijing. However, Ling Zun sacrificed his life for the country before the signing of the Beijing Treaty. Then when did he destroy the balance of heaven and have merit! Guan Xuqing asked.

"The emperor is gifted and intelligent, and he knows everything about the affairs of our court. But the emperor is still too young, and he doesn't know the situation at that time, if the emperor doesn't feel bored, the minister will tell the emperor slowly. Dong Liang was obviously impressed by Guan Xuqing.

"Master Dong, please speak."

"Since the uprising of 1851, the Heavenly Kingdom of Heaven has been overwhelmed. In front of the Taiping Army, the Eight Banners and Green Battalions of our Qing Dynasty were already unusable and insufficient, and the generals of the Banner and Green were afraid of the enemy like tigers, or fled from the wind, or collapsed when the enemy was imminent. The Taiping army broke through from Yong'an all the way to Nanjing, but did not encounter a decent resistance. Seeing that he is about to go north to Shandong, he is approaching the capital. Lingyidu's father led thousands of Chu Yong in the First World War, which is the predecessor of the current Yong Battalion. It simply blocked the attack of a 50,000-strong force of the Tianping Army for a whole month, and inflicted heavy losses on the Taiping Army. Later, the British and French troops went north, and in Tianjin, my father fought hard with the British and French forces for three days, and finally sacrificed his life for the country. Dong Liang looked at the sky and said silently.

Wow, it turns out that he is the founder of Yongying. Aren't the current senior generals of the Yongying battalion all his old subordinates? No wonder the Queen Mother wanted to put him in the capital. The Yongying and Hunan armies were now the main defense forces of the Qing Dynasty. If this kid is allowed to go out, Yongying will have to be renamed Dong Ying. Then the imperial court will not be able to command the Yong camp. No wonder Ci'an wanted him to teach me, it turned out that he wanted me to win him over and make him loyal to me. No wonder Cixi seemed to be very unhappy that day, but now she understands everything.
