Huang Zongxi's teaching content is "Datong Collection", and he has been sick for the past few days and cannot come to work for the time being.

In the first class "The Book of Rites", Mr. Zhuye's name is Zhang Yiqi.

In the last years of Chongzhen, the Tartars plundered Shandong. Zhang Yiqi's father stepped forward and killed two Tartars alone, captured alive and brutally murdered. His third brother also died tragically, and the fourth brother was about to be buried and resurrected.

After the Tatars entered the customs, Zhang Yiqi and his fourth brother burned Shi Wen, expressing their intention to cut off the imperial examination and never be an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in this life.

He had been teaching in Shandong before, and was later invited to give lectures in Nanjing, and now he has become famous all over the world because of his academic fame, and has been specially recruited to the Hanlin Academy as a master's degree in the School of Classics. Gu Yanwu read "Reading the Notes and Sentences of Etiquette", admired his scripture attainments, and followed Zhang Yiqi as the "Zhuoran Scripture Teacher".

A fine house in the Wenhua Hall is the prince's place to study, and the cabinet officials next door are busy.

Zhao Kuanghuan came to the upright: "Meet Mr. Zhang." ”

Zhang Yiqi got up and returned the salute, and then held the ring ruler: "The prince, please sit down." ”

Zhao Kuanghuan and Zhang Yiqi sat opposite each other, with a bookcase in the middle.

Li Hao stood beside him, and Hu Mengtai sat farther away. As a guest of the crown prince, Hu Mengtai read by himself, and seemed too lazy to pay attention to the teaching, but in fact, his ears were always pricked up.

Around, there are also some officials, and there are also special people to record the content of the class.

Zhang Yiqi said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, after these words, there are no monarchs and ministers in this room, only teachers and students. If the prince is stubborn and unruly, he should still be beaten. ”

Zhu Biao, the first prince of the Ming Dynasty, was often beaten by his teacher.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuanghuan felt that the teacher in front of him was too serious, and he was a little unhappy and a little apprehensive.

Zhang Yiqi said: "To read, you must first be ambitious. Whether it is the old dynasty of the former Ming Dynasty or the new dynasty of my Datong, why should children learn "University" first after enlightenment? "University" is a clear idea. Self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world, this is the lifelong ambition of scholars. In the future, whether it is the study of scripture and history, or the study of words and miscellaneous texts, these studies must be carried out around their own aspirations. Have any other gentlemen said these things? ”

Zhao Kuanghuan replied: "Yes." ”

Zhang Yiqi also said: "I teach people to read, and there is a order of which book to read. The books of scripture are "University", "Analects", "The Mean", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn", "Zhou Li", "Rites", and "Book of Rites". Historical books, in order, are "Outline", "Preface", "Continuation", "General Records" and "Dazheng Lu" of the former Ming Dynasty. Miscellaneous books, in order, are "University Yanyi", "Supplement Xishan Reading Secretaries", "Literature General Examination", "Public Security Examination", "Article Authenticity", "Famous Ministers", and "Daming Huidian". ”

This gentleman is well-versed in all kinds of classics, and he is well versed in history and miscellaneous studies.

Zhang Yiqi continued: "Your Majesty asked me to be the prince's teacher, and only teach the Book of Rites, not in turn, this fact is helpless. But what should be said, I still have to say. The origin of the universe, the prince should have learned. My faction is based on qi and reason is the last ......"

"Ahem!"

Hu Mengtai, who was looking down at a book, suddenly coughed and reminded Zhang Yiqi not to add private goods.

Zhang Yiqi wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't continue, and quickly turned back to the topic: "Has the prince ever studied the Book of Rites?" ”

Zhao Kuanghuan replied: "In the middle school textbook, there are excerpts from the Book of Rites. ”

Zhang Yiqi was very dissatisfied with this, he felt that the Four Books and Five Classics were a step-by-step knowledge system. Primary and secondary school students, who only learn excerpts from chapters, have already made a mess of their knowledge.

However, Zhang Yuqi is not a Taoist, and his scholarship is also biased towards the application of the world.

It can be seen from the fact that qi is the foundation and reason is the end, although he studied Cheng Zhu Lixue, he subverted Cheng Zhu's Lixue. Qi-oriented, that is, pay attention to material research, pay attention to the exploration of the world, and pay attention to the practice of applying it to the world.

Zhang Yiqi asked again: "Does the prince know, what is 'etiquette'?" ”

Zhao Kuanghuan replied: "It's the rules of etiquette." ”

Zhang Yiqi said: "Yes, not all right. Rites, in a big way, are systems and conventions. In a small way, it is the art of self-cultivation. The law is actually a kind of ceremony, but that is the bottom line of the ceremony. ”

"There are many things in the world that cannot be governed by the law, otherwise they cannot be managed. Just like acquaintances meet, it is etiquette to greet each other, but it is not illegal not to greet each other. The "Datong Township Covenant" formulated by His Majesty is a rural etiquette system. It advises people to be kind, to persuade people to help each other, and if you don't obey, you won't break the law, but you will be poked in the back by neighbors. ”

"The etiquette of the monarch and the minister, the etiquette of the husband and wife, the etiquette of the elder and the young, these rituals and rituals can maintain the operation of the court, the family, and the society. What is the Collapse of Rites? It's just that the etiquette doesn't work. If the etiquette is not suitable, everyone is uneasy about their position, and the chaos in this world will come. ”

Zhao Kuanghuan suddenly asked: "Sir, what should I do if the etiquette is not suitable?" ”

Zhang Yiqi said: "Then you have to change. The tree dies, the man lives, and nothing is the immutable law for eternity. However, we must be cautious in changing the law, and those who have changed the law since ancient times will be doomed if they are not careful. The key to changing the law is first and foremost in love and benefit. Etiquette must be in line with the feelings, which is the right etiquette, and only then will the world be convinced. Etiquette should also be in line with profit, because everyone pursues profit, and it is contrary to the great interests of the world, and no one will abide by such etiquette. ”

"Love and benefit...... Zhao Kuanghuan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Isn't it love and reason?" ”

Zhang Yiqi said: "Many times, people are unreasonable. Affection is before reason, and profit is also before reason. This kind of thing, when I lecture outside, I won't just say it to people. But the prince is different, and if the prince wants to govern the country in the future, he must understand this truth. ”

Hu Mengtai, who had been reading a book, looked up at Zhang Yiqi at this time, and he began to think that this gentleman was very interesting.

Zhang Yiqi said: "Please open the book." Qu Li said: Don't be disrespectful, just think, settle down, and settle the people! Ao can't be long, you can't follow your desires, you can't be satisfied, and you can't be happy. The sage respects it, fears it and loves it...... Has the prince studied this? ”

Zhao Kuanghuan shook his head: "No." ”

Zhang Yiqi explained the meaning: "No disrespect. Don't let your self-discipline and vigilance down, but always introspect. This is especially true for those who are kings. Because you don't know who is happy and who is disobedient. As a monarch, he lives in the deep palace. In ancient times, the king of the dead country was deceived by traitors and villains, and the rebellious army came to the city, only to know that the country was in chaos! ”

"It's like thinking. Don't be angry, be dignified, and always look meditative. A person who is a ruler cannot be seen through by his courtiers. Once seen through, the courtiers will grab the medicine according to the prescription, and they will be led by the nose by the courtiers. Let the courtiers be unpredictable...... Moreover, if the monarch does not express his attitude easily, then there is room for everything to turn around......"

"Settle down. When speaking, you must not be impatient, you must be calm. In this way, it will be convincing......"

"Pride must not grow, and once a person is arrogant, he is prone to lose his mind. Lust is not to be indulged...... Can't be complacent...... Don't be happy and miserable......"

Zhang Yiqi thought of the emperor's instructions and felt that he was speaking too seriously, so he said: "For every sentence here, I use ancient emperors and civil and military examples, so that the prince can understand more deeply and clearly......

This gentleman really has goods in his stomach, and explaining the "Book of Rites" to the prince is very different from lecturing among the people. It is said everywhere that it should be like to be a king, and all kinds of allusions to historical celebrities are also at your fingertips.

After a class, although Zhao Kuanghuan couldn't recite the original text, he had fully comprehended the content of the article.

After class, Zhang Yiqi walked away without looking back, he actually didn't like to give lectures to the prince.

Hu Mengtai also put away his books and asked with a smile: "Your Highness is still satisfied with Mr. Zhang's teaching?" ”

"Not annoying." Zhao Kuanghuan said.

"That'll be fine." Hu Mengtai's identity is very special, he is not only a guest of the prince (official position), but also the prince's cousin and grandfather.

The two walked out together, and Li Hao and other officials followed.

Hu Mengtai pointed at Li Hao and said, "This is chosen by His Majesty, and I will follow it every time I go to class." ”

Li Hao hurriedly bowed his hand: "Minister Li Hao, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"You're polite." Zhao Kuanghuan returned the salute.

introduced Li Hao to the prince, and Hu Mengtai slipped away.

Zhao Kuanghuan is not a fool, and can even be said to be very smart. The Imperial City School is rolled up like that, and in the case of prodigies everywhere, the prince's grades are not at the bottom. At least compared to the students who were eliminated, the prince was completely at the top.

Since he is a close minister arranged by his father, he must have the ability and must be familiar with it.

When leaving in the carriage, Zhao Kuanghuan recruited Li Hao: "You can come up too." ”

Of course Li Hao didn't dare, he arched his hand and said, "Please keep the prince." ”

The joy and anger that the teacher said just now is invisible, although Zhao Kuanghuan seriously comprehended it, but at this moment, he immediately committed it, he smiled and said: "Which etiquette law stipulates that the prince cannot ride in the same car with his subordinate officials?" Come on up! ”

"Yes." Li Hao, a wild man who has no teacher, is certainly not a rigid person.

After all getting into the carriage, Zhao Kuanghuan asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Li Yan replied: "Shaanxi Xukuo (Zhouzhi) people. ”

The royal carriage was very spacious, Zhao Kuanghuan found a comfortable position and half-lay down, forgetting all the teacher's teachings in class: "Shaanxi people, there is also a Shaanxi one in my class." I heard that when Chongzhen was in the previous dynasty, there was a drought in Shaanxi every year, and people rebelled everywhere? ”

Li Hao said: "My father followed the governor of Shaanxi to beg for thieves and was killed by that Zhang Xianzhong. ”

"Well, I heard that many people died at that time." Zhao Kuanghuan sighed, in fact, he was not much touched, the environment in which he grew up was destined to break away from the bottom of the masses.

Li Hao said: "The minister has already figured it out, and the thieves and the eight thieves raised troops because of natural and man-made disasters, and they really can't survive." What must be remembered is not the revenge of killing the father, but how to achieve national peace and security. If the people have food and clothing, they will not rebel, and they will be able to avoid more people from perishing. ”

Zhao Kuanghuan nodded and said, "You're right. ”
