"The way to govern the country lies in the will of the people, and those who want the will of the people will prosper, and those who turn the will of the people will die. ......”

Dawn sat on the bed and memorized the entire text of "On Governing the Country" word for word. Han Fuzi, who was sitting on a brocade stool on the side, was dressed in a simple gray bachelor's uniform and wore a simple scribe's crown; his face was slightly thin after the vicissitudes of life, and time had ruthlessly carved profound traces on the face of this old man who was already sixty and nine; a pair of sharp old eyes seemed to be able to see through the deepest thoughts of people's hearts, and his spirit was strong. He stroked his gray beard and listened quietly to Dawn's recitation.

Since his student's injuries had not yet healed, he was exempted from morning exercises every morning, and Han Fuzi came to Tingyuxuan, where Liming was located, early in the morning to check the homework he had left for the third prince yesterday.

For this diligent and studious third son of Li, Han Shang, who served as the master, was very satisfied. Looking at the dawn in front of him, Han Shang fell into memory.

In Kolo City, many nobles invited themselves to their mansions to serve as masters for their knowledge and reputation, and Han Shang, who had never liked to have too much contact with the powerful, would always find various reasons to reject them, what was old and weak, and could not be used.

Those nobles just want to use their own reputation to let their children gild under their hands, and they really teach them with all their money, and few people will study seriously; if they are strictly disciplined, those ignorant nobles will criticize themselves behind their backs, saying that they are impersonal and antique.

Han Shang was completely chilled by them, so he tried his best to shirk the invitation given to him by the nobles.

When His Royal Highness King Li found him, Han Shang refused at first.

Why?

It's very simple, if the third son of Li named Liming is that kind of unreasonable little thing, wouldn't he waste his feelings and time on him in vain?

If you have that time, you might as well be at home and play with the flowers and plants, and read the books of the sages, so why bother to find the uncomfortable?

But he couldn't stand the visit of His Royal Highness King Li again and again, for such a virtuous king, Han Shang really couldn't refuse him directly, and after thinking for a while, he finally agreed to His Royal Highness King Li's proposal to go to the palace to try it first.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Han Shang met the third prince of Li in the mouth of His Royal Highness King Li.

As soon as they met in the first class, Dawn, who was just eleven years old, gave himself a big surprise.

"The sage said: Eat and drink water, bend the humerus and pillow, enjoy it, and unrighteous and rich and expensive, just like me in the clouds. Han Shang, who was sitting on the upper seat with a book, took the time to glance at the side, and the third prince who was sitting next to him was lowering his head and holding a pen, not knowing what to write on the paper.

Han Shang was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the third prince who did not listen carefully, and had the intention to embarrass the third son, so he asked:

"Does the third prince know the origin of this sentence?"

"The Word of Yongye". Liming put down the pen in his hand, looked up and replied, "Before the master came yesterday, he asked someone to pass the message, and let the disciple memorize it last night." ”

"Oh?"

Han Shang really didn't expect that the third prince would complete the task assigned by a master who had not yet met, according to his previous experience, ordinary noble children would not spend that time and effort to memorize the words of these so-called saints.

The three points of unhappiness in his heart disappeared a lot, and Han Shang asked again: "Does the third son know the meaning?"

"I don't know, I also asked the master to solve the doubts for the disciple. ”

Dawn tilted her head and thought for a long time, shaking her head.

"The child can be taught. Han Shang nodded, "These are the words of the sage when he was in a difficult situation, which means that I eat coarse food and drink fresh water at every meal, and when I sleep at night, I bend my arms as pillows, and I am also happy, and the wealth obtained by immoral means is nothing more than a floating cloud to me." ”

"The disciple is taught. Dawn nodded, picked up the pen on the side, and continued to write and scratch on the paper.

"Why doesn't the third prince concentrate on listening to the old man's lectures, but take a pen and write things underneath himself?"

Han Shang saw that Liming was still holding a pen and writing underneath and asked.

The disciple wanted to record the Master's words and review them in the dead of night. ”

Liming's words made Han Shang stay where he was. Somewhat disbelieving, he put down the book in his hand, walked over to Dawn, and leaned over to see what Dawn was writing.

"What the Master said today: "The Word of Yongye", "Eating and drinking water,............"

Word for word, word for word with what I just said, the original text, the paraphrase, every word is what I said.

Han Shang was a little shocked, when he was the chief priest of the country, he had conducted a lot of large-scale lectures, and the group of Tai students below did not record like Liming, even if they listened carefully, at most, they only raised their heads and listened carefully to themselves, for fear of missing a little.

Can this kid remember every word he says? Han Shang was a little incredulous.

"Master, is there anything wrong with what the disciple has done?" Dawn put down his pen and looked at the stunned master beside him.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Han Shang realized his gaffe, came back to his senses and said, "It's just that Shizi's method is a bit novel, aren't you afraid of missing something that the old man said?"

Liming shook his head: "What the master said, there is nothing particularly difficult to remember, I have heard it once, it is enough." ”

Since you say so, then don't blame the master for being unkind.

Facing this intelligent student, Han Shang, who was a master, suddenly had a hint of fun.

"If you can know people, you can't do anything. ”

This is a sentence from the end of the article "Jingguo Junshan Qi Appearance Debate" in "National Policy".

If it was possible that Liming was opportunistic just now, relying on his hard work last night to write down what he said, then now, Han Shang can be 100% sure that this kid has definitely not read this book.

The meaning of this sentence is that you can understand others and not reuse someone with talent because of their criticism. In order to increase the difficulty, Han Shang spoke very quickly, basically without a pause, and then continued to speak, "People are virtuous to me, not to forget, I am virtuous to others, I must not forget......

Dawn was below, holding a pen in his right hand, and he kept recording every word the Master said.

The more Han Shang spoke, the more involved he became, and he stood up involuntarily and paced slowly in the bamboo building where he lived, not caring about the dawn that was being recorded.

The two disciples of the master, one spoke energetically, and the other remembered energetically, and Han Shang's somewhat old voice echoed in the entire bamboo building.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and Han Shang remembered that there was another third son by his side. Fang Cai said that he was too involved, and he actually forgot the original purpose. He hurried to Dawn's side, and was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

Again, word for word.

Han Shang couldn't believe his eyes, he picked up the piece of paper written by Liming and looked at it carefully.

The neat and neat fly-headed small block makes people can't believe that this is from the hand of an eleven-year-old boy, and the ink on it has not yet dried, which confirms that the owner of the word is the third son of King Li who is sitting in front of him with a delicate appearance and a pale face.

What he just said was all excerpted from the book "National Policy", and the order was completely disordered, and there was no law to follow, if an eleven-year-old boy could familiarize himself with the national policy and memorize it, Han Shang would never believe it.

That is to say, this disciple of his own can really do it without forgetting.

Found a treasure!

This was Han Shang's first reaction in a state of shock.

He looked down carefully, and found that there was a lot of blank space between the lines, and Dawn added some of his own understanding to the blank space as he listened.

Only then did Han Shang believe that there was really a genius in this world. There were some things that the master didn't talk about, and Dawn added them according to his own understanding.

What a genius is this?

Han Shang, who had a love for talent, found His Royal Highness King Li after finishing his homework that day.

As soon as they met, this great Confucian, who had always been above the top, bowed to the ground and couldn't kneel for a long time. Indifferent, King Li was also a little confused by Han Shang's movements.

"Mr. Han, please get up. Li Zhenghong raised his hand and motioned for Han Shang, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up, "I don't know why Mr. Han made this big gift to this king?"

"The old man is a cloth cloth, extremely dull, I didn't know that the third son is such an amazing talent, the old man is grateful to His Royal Highness, and I have come here to thank His Royal Highness for his repeated visits......"

"Master, Master?"

"Huh?" A soft call sounded in his ears, and Han Shang raised his head and looked at the handsome young man in front of him.

"Master, the disciple has finished reciting, does the master have any other instructions?"

Dawn is a little strange, and the Master is a little absent-minded today. When I was just reciting the book, I peeked twice, and found that the master was staring blankly at the book in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

“...... No, no, Shizi's recitation today is very good, let's rest in bed...... Forehead...... The old man will no longer disturb the rest of the world, and come back tomorrow, this is the homework that the son needs to memorize today, "Ten Chapters of Xunzi". ”

"Congratulations to the Master. ”

Liming was inconvenient to get out of bed, so he saluted his master on the bed, and the fourth child who had been standing on the side with his hands down, took the book handed by the master for the young master.

"The old man retired. Han Shang returned the salute and bowed to leave.

After Han Shang went out, Liming asked the junior on the side, "Don't you think the master is a little weird today?"

"That old man, who has been chattering all day long, isn't it weird?" Xiao Si muttered quietly.

"How many times have I told you, and you are not allowed to be rude to your master!" Dawn glared at Xiao Si beside him.

"Yes, Xiao Si is wrong. Xiao Si put the book in his hand on the table.

"I always feel that something is not quite right with the master today! When I endorsed the book just now, I deliberately recited "the emperor rebuked him, and the color was rejected" into "the emperor rebuked him, and the color was repulsed", but the master didn't even hear such a serious problem, and said that I had memorized it well, and if it was according to the usual words, I should have played the handboard a long time ago. ”

Liming did not pursue Xiao Si's mistakes, and said to himself.

"Maybe the master didn't wake up today, right?" asked Xiao Si tentatively.

Liming shook his head and denied Xiao Si's question: "No, I always feel that the master is preoccupied......"

"Okay, young master, you haven't had breakfast yet, if you let the eldest lady and the second young master know, you have to scold me for not taking care of you properly. Xiao Si took the breakfast in the cage drawer from the table next to him and brought it to Liming, "Your arm is inconvenient, I'll feed you, young master, ah......"

"No, it's disgusting. Dawn decisively refused.
