Chapter 305 Alternate Education
The open and secret battle between the princes is so fierce that only in front of Xu Ruye can there be a moment of peace. However, when the two of them went to Xiao Huai'an in pairs, their faces changed differently, Xiao Huai'an didn't care much, took Xu Ruye's hand and let him sit on his side.
Xu Ruzhu thought he was low-key, and chose the position of leaning right against the window, Xu Rulie and Xu Ruye sat in the middle, and Xiao Huai'an sat in the direction of the entrance, facing the entrance of Mrs. Liu.
"Your Highnesses, only the six Highnesses are the earliest, and the other three Highnesses should be earlier."
Mrs. Liu's face was sluggish, he couldn't wake up, and because he was older, bags and wrinkles under his eyes appeared one after another, it seemed that he was older than his peers.
But even if his appearance is so natural and harmless, but his brain is turning faster than anyone else, before he entered the court as an official with Li Shangshu, who was still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it only took a few years of hard work to be appointed by the emperor as the teacher's teacher, and also the emperor's teacher for the future emperor, and his status can be described as extremely noble.
Generally speaking, those who sit in this position will usually try their best to please the prince, and no matter who inherits the throne, they can lay the foundation for their future glory.
But Liu Ci did not take the usual path, and every year, in addition to his daily use, he used all of it to help the victims of disasters in various parts of the world, or to build schools.
When they were in the palace, because they didn't have to go to the early court from time to time, when Xu Rulie and Xu Ruzhu were young, Liu Ci's education could be said to be very strict, so that even if the two of them were adults now, as long as they saw Liu Ci's face, they would subconsciously feel afraid, even worse than the emperor.
So I haven't seen Liu Ci for a long time today, Xu Rulie and Xu Ruzhu's bodies stiffened unconsciously, and for the first sentence he spoke, everyone was stunned for a moment before reacting, what he said turned out to be Xu Ruzhu.
In this way, Liu Ci counted Xiao Huai'an, so he put their rankings back for a while, Xu Rulie was suddenly unhappy, his eyes glanced at him, and he muttered quietly.
"I'm afraid Taifu is wrong, there should only be two of them."
"Your Royal Highness, 'A gentleman does not avoid the beauty of people, and does not say anything about the evil of people', this is Your Majesty's will, and I hope that Your Royal Highnesses will abide by the courtesy of monarchs and ministers." Xu Rulie relied on the fact that he was the son of the queen, and he would hate it somewhat, he thought that he was speaking very quietly, but Liu Ci was not so deaf that he couldn't hear clearly, so he immediately reprimanded him, making Xu Rulie bow his head a little embarrassed and dissatisfied.
"What if the father admits it, can an illegitimate son still be considered a prince, such a nameless and shareless."
"Taifu, you don't have to be so careful about your reputation, as a minister, I should fulfill the courtesy of a minister, and I don't care about this."
Xu Rulie said that, Xiao Huai'an couldn't help but Liu Ci continued to argue with him, delaying Xu Ruye's lesson, so he thought about coming out to ease the current atmosphere, but he didn't want Liu Ci to reprimand him in the same way.
"What the three highnesses said is bad, there is, there is no, there is no, it is a matter of the royal family, you can't be so hasty, several highnesses' names and heirs in the future are going to enter the genealogy, the three highnesses think that they don't have to bother for this, but the royal bloodline can't help but be so hazy. In the future, when several princes are in charge of one side, they should also bear this principle in mind. ”
"Yes, under the teaching."
Liu Ci really lived up to his name, he didn't have a preference for anyone, and he took all aspects into account, Xiao Huai'an knew that his previous words were not rigorous enough, and he didn't dare to continue arguing with Liu Ci now, so he hurriedly bowed his head and agreed.
Xu Rulie and Xu Ruzhu rarely saw Xiao Huai'an eat this day, and they couldn't stand a burst of joy in their hearts, Xu Ruye glanced at Xiao Huai'an very obediently.
Liu Ci listened, turned around and sat down at his lecture desk, put down the book, but was not in a hurry to start teaching, his eyes swept in this room, and Xu Yin, the only one who came to serve the master, was particularly conspicuous.
"Your Highness the Seventh, the cabinet lectures, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, so it is like this."
Xu Ruye was taken aback, "Ah, yes, Taifu, but ......"
Xu Yi silently lowered his head, leaned over and saluted Xu Ruye, "Your Highness, the slave is waiting outside for His Highness to come out." ”
After Xu Yi left and stood at the gate of the cabinet like a guard, Mrs. Liu began to lecture. But he didn't grind things up directly and analyzed them with Xu Rulie, only mentioned a few past examples, gave a topic, and asked Xu Rulie and them to write their own articles, but he lit a stick of incense on the podium, and he didn't know where he went.
This should be Liu Ci's usual method, so Xu Ruzhu and Xu Rulie don't think it's strange, Xiao Huai'an is following the customs, but Xu Ruye has to write an article by himself for the first time, which is really difficult.
After Xu Rulie and Xu Ruzhu handed over the article, Xu Ruye was still working hard to write.
Seeing this, Xu Rulie and Xu Ruzhu couldn't help but snicker in their hearts, the emperor personally looked at Xu Ruye, who opened the door, it turned out that it was nothing more than that, Xiao Huaian was a little worried about whether he would be able to complete it, but he didn't open his mouth and ask for help.
"Xiao Huai'an, although my father has recognized you, it doesn't mean that you can be on an equal footing with us, you still have the heart to care about him now, it's better to think more about yourself, Mrs. Liu will not be like your father, you will agree with a few words you say, you should ask for more blessings."
Xu Rulie said, after Xu Ruzhu handed over the papers, he hurried to the bookshelf behind to read, but his ears were concerned about the situation on their side, and Xiao Huai'an listened, but he didn't care about him too much, just got up and went to the yard to blow the wind.
Then finally waited until noon, Xu Ruye handed in the article, and after lunch, they returned to the cabinet again, but the result surprised everyone.
"Today's article is headed by the Seventh Highness." Liu Ci disappeared for a morning, and did not come back until this moment, and as soon as she finished reading the four volumes on the table, she blurted out very lightly, and she didn't even have time to annotate the comments on the article with a cinnabar pen.
Xu Rulie listened, naturally refusing to admit it, even if he was really negligent in his homework during this time, how could he bear to lose to a nine-year-old child, Xu Ruzhu behind him also widened his eyes in disbelief.
"This can't be, Taifu, are you wrong and take our scroll as his."
Hearing this, Liu Ci immediately raised his eyes, and he was not in a hurry to speak, so he stared at Xu Rulie with those slightly cloudy eyes, and the hair on his body was bursting with hair.
"Fourth Highness, don't be impatient, this official is not so stupid, let's ask the Fourth Highness to read the title of today's article carefully."
Xu Rulie had goosebumps on his body, and when he turned his head, he saw a scroll hanging next to him, on which a woman was clearly drawn by the river.
"The daughter of Huansha, the yarn is spun with cotton thread, and the cotton comes from the cotton in the field, what is wrong with the revival of agriculture that I wrote?"
When the words landed, Xu Ruzhu estimated that he had a similar opinion, and nodded lightly.
"What about the Third Highness." In the face of Xu Rulie's inquiry, Liu Ci still looked flat, and he was not in a hurry to speak, but turned his head to ask Xiao Huai'an.
Xiao Huai'an turned his head, but he didn't care about his grades, he was just curious about what Xu Ruye wrote, which would make Mrs. Liu feel that he was the leader.
"Generally speaking, weaving is a woman's business, but the linen cloth piled up on this shore far exceeds the cloth needed for the family to dress, and at that time it should have just dawned in spring, and the woman's fingertips were slightly curled up and uncomfortable from the cold,"
"So I boldly guess that it must be because of the difference in market prices, which led to the price of folk cotton spinning cloth to be reduced for a while, and she made so many fabrics out that she was forced to sell them to support her family."
Xiao Huai'an's work is mostly with the people, so he is also very familiar with this kind of thing, no wonder Xu Rulie and Xu Ruzhu can't think of it, but it seems that there are only these, but it is not enough.
After listening to this, Liu Ci lowered his head and raised his cinnabar pen, scribbling on the scroll and writing a long list of contents, "Then Your Highness the Seventh, why did you write like this?" ”
"The articles of His Royal Highness the Seventh, although they are not as sharp as those of the princes, have their own ideas and express their views in the simplest words, and the most important thing in our articles should be to cut into the essence of the most important things."
"Well, I didn't seem to be very happy when I saw her, and even Huansha was reluctant, so I wondered if she was being bullied, so I wrote it?"
Xu Ruye bowed slightly, the article naturally wouldn't be so simple, but it was mentioned later that the taxes were too heavy, and if you say it, it will inevitably cause ridicule, and even if it reaches the emperor, it's not good.
He played with his two hands, but quietly raised his eyes, a little curious about Mrs. Liu's comments and revisions on the paper, and suddenly felt sad and lowered his eyes.
"After all, when I was young, my mother and I were also bullied a lot in the palace."
When the words landed, Xu Rulie couldn't help but turn his head in surprise. He didn't have any feelings for Xu Ruye, but it was hard to imagine how a prince could be bullied on his head.
But Liu Ci is still a hard-hearted heart, and in the face of Xu Ruye's pitiful whispering, there is no half-concession, and the education is still education unceremoniously.
"The starting point of the Seventh Highness is good, but in this solution, why is there nothing that should be done as the identity of the Seventh Highness."
"I, the student is taught, but this is a rule set by my father, and the student does not dare to mess with his beak."
It's one thing not to dare, the most important thing is that the emperor's decision is always right. Even if he himself became emperor in the future, his decision-making should not be indecisive because of this.
