Chapter 62 School Examination

Jing Hong returned to the palace early in the morning and brought a large bag of things.

Obviously, the lack of preparation last time made him suffer some hardships in the palace, and after complaining to the family, his county ordered his father to naturally prepare some necessary daily necessities for his son, and even brought dry food, he was quite proud, and felt that he could finally compete with Zhu Hao, but when he saw the box that Zhu Hao brought over, people wilted again.

Comparisons are odious.

When he arrived at the study, Lu Bing had already arrived for a while, and was jutting, running around chasing the ball, Zhu Hao shook his head when he saw this, entered the classroom with Jing Hong, took out the textbooks he had sorted out and opened them, pondering what class to teach today, and waited for a long time to see Zhu Sanshan late.

"Mr. Zhu, what did you teach us today?"

Zhu San smiled and joked at Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao closed the book and said casually: "The Analects of the Analects of Zizhang and Yao have been finished, and today we will talk about Mencius." ”

Zhu San smiled and didn't take it too seriously, while Jing Hong looked solemn.

Jinghong is not only strong, but also very hard in learning, since he is not in class, Zhu Hao can accept his lectures, he wants to know how much better Zhu Hao's knowledge is than him.

"Ah Bing, come in to class, listen to Mr. Zhu's lecture...... If you kick it again, I'll throw your Keju away! ”

In addition to Zhu San's attitude towards Zhu Hao, which is quite normal, he has maintained a consistent strength towards Lu Bing or Jing Hong.

Lu Bing pouted, came into the house with a juju, and sat down reluctantly, for him, it was purely to accompany the prince to study, he didn't understand and didn't want to listen to what was said in class, the palace let him be a companion to read purely so that he could grow up healthily in the palace, after all, his parents had formal "jobs", which was to use the palace as a nursery.

Zhu Hao officially started the lecture.

"Mencius saw King Hui of Liang. The king said, 'If you have come from a thousand miles away, there will also be Eli my country?' Mencius said to him......"

“…… King Hui of Liang is the King of Wei Hui, and 'Hui' is his nickname. In the thirtieth year of Zhou Xian Wangbian, the capital of Wei was moved from Anyi to Daliang, and Daliang was the Kaifeng of the Ming Dynasty, so it was also called King Hui of Liang......"

……

……

In the afternoon, it was not a quarter of a second.

The palace, the study.

Zhu Youqi sat behind the desk, holding the ancient scroll, Yuanyu Yue stood still like a mountain, Yuan Zonggao stood aside, and there were two little guys standing in front of the desk, it was Zhu San and Zhu Houxi.

At this time, Zhu San and Zhu Houxi were very worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what their father called them over for.

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "Two princes, His Royal Highness King Xing wants to test your knowledge, involving the current coursework, just tell what you have learned." ”

Examination......

Or is it a face-to-face exam......

Most children in any era do not like this way of teaching, especially when they do not learn well, and the exam is equivalent to smashing the field.

If you can't pass the father's pass, you will not only increase your schoolwork in the future, but you may even be grounded and study hard behind closed doors.

For a while, Zhu San and Zhu Houxi had the same thoughts in their hearts...... If only I could escape!

Just when the two little ones were waiting for their father's school examination with a bitter face, Zhu Youqi was not in a hurry to come up with the questions, he was still reading the lesson plan submitted by Sui Gongyan and wanted to know the progress of the two little ones.

The palace asks Xi to come back to teach the prince, but it will not let it go, and every once in a while it will have to report the lesson plan, so that the palace can grasp the learning situation of the prince at any time, and use it as an examination syllabus to see if the teaching and learning are taught in the classroom whether the prince has mastered it, and sometimes Zhu Youqi or Yuan Zonggao will also remind the teacher to revise the syllabus and strengthen some aspects of the content.

"My father recently discussed with Yuan Changshi that I would invite you a few more gentlemen in the future, in addition to the necessary teaching of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also to cultivate your ability to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Zhu Youqi made an opening remark.

Black lines rose on the faces of the two children.

This is clearly the rhythm of applying for multiple extracurricular tutoring classes!

In the future, more gentlemen come to teach, which means that they have less time to play.

Zhu Youqi said: "Zeng Zi said: It is dignified and open, and it is difficult to be benevolent. What do you guys think? ”

The exams have begun.

came up to the first question, and the two little ones were dumbfounded.

Taking a passage from the Analects as an exam question and asking the examinee's opinion on it is a routine for the imperial examination essay, even if it is not a bagu essay.

Isn't it too embarrassing for two children who are only seven or eight years old to be enlightened for less than two years, and who often make mistakes in reciting the Analects?

Yuan Zonggao was slightly stunned, and wanted to remind Zhu Youqi...... Xingwang, your expectations for your two children are too high, how do they answer?

Zhu Youqi only came up with the question according to Sui Gongyan's lesson plan, but he didn't expect that his topic was out of the outline, and he didn't take into account the age of the children and the degree to which they could master.

"Fourth, you say!" Zhu Youqi saw that the two children did not come out to answer, thinking that they were not learning well, and immediately straightened his face.

"I ...... I ......"

Zhu Houxi was about to cry, the only thing he could remember was that this sentence was from the "Analects", but because he was playful, he deserted during class, and he didn't even know what it meant......

Zhu San blinked beside him, vaguely remembering something.

Zhu Youqi asked with a dark face: "How do you usually learn?" ”

"Xingwang ......"

Yuan Zonggao couldn't help but want to stand up and say a few words for the two little ones.

At this moment, Zhu San said: "Father, I know. ”

Zhu Youqi and Yuan Zonggao looked at her at the same time, Zhu Youqi frowned, and shouted: "Say! ”

Zhu San looked very confident: "Zeng Zi said that Zizhang is dignified, and it is difficult to be benevolent with him." ”

The literal meaning was explained, but this was obviously not the answer Zhu Youqi wanted to hear, and he immediately asked: "Then why is this so?" ”

Zhu Sandao: "Because Fan said, 'Zizhang has more than enough outside and insufficient inside, so no one is benevolent to him'." Zi said, 'Rigidity, Yi, wood, Ne, near benevolence. 'Rather than enough outside, but more than inside, Shu can be benevolent. His benevolence is not true benevolence. That's why Zhu Zi commented on Zizhang and said, 'It is self-exalted to say that it is extraordinary, and it cannot be supplemented by benevolence, nor can it be supplemented by benevolence'. ”

As soon as the call came down, Zhu Youqi frowned, looking not very satisfied.

Ask yourself what you think, do you fool with the content of the Commentary on the Analects? I'm asking you, are you asking me the answer given by Zhu Xi?

Zhu Youqi said: "Look at what you said? Ask what you understand about this, not for you to memorize by rote. ”

Zhu San wanted to behave well in front of his father, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head with a look of grievance.

And Zhu Houxi, who was on the side, squinted at his sister, and his eyes were ...... It's just worship, as if to say, wow, sister, you're amazing, how do you know this knowledge?

Yuan Zonggao only stood up at this time to explain: "His Royal Highness King Xing, in fact, the two princes have not yet learned the content of the "Commentary on the Four Books", and it is not easy to understand it to such a point through literal understanding. ”

Zhu Youqi was stunned, and suddenly realized that his topic was out of line.

Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu San and asked curiously: "The opinions put forward by the third prince can be regarded as a fusion of his own ideas, and the cause and effect can also be said to be unique. ”

Zhu San thought that he was ugly, but when he heard Yuan Zonggao's words, his heart suddenly burst into joy, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Zhu Youqi thought about his daughter's answer before, nodded and said, "I did add a little bit of my own opinion...... By the way, the third child, you haven't learned the "Commentary on the Four Books", where do you get these insights from? ”

Zhu Sanyi was stunned.

She wanted to say that I was self-taught, but when I thought about it, if I bragged and was discovered, I would be tested for something else, wouldn't everything be exposed?

"Father, yes...... It was Zhu Hao who taught me ......"

Zhu San said it honestly.

The content of Zhu Hao's teaching in the past few days is the last two sections of "Analects" and the first two sections of "Mencius".

His teaching style is very different from Sui Gongyan.

The reason why Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books" can become the cornerstone of the Eight Masters in later generations is that Zhu Xi's understanding of the Four Books does have its own uniqueness, and the basic thing to say is that Zhu Hao used the "Notes on the Four Books" as the blueprint and added easy-to-understand content to teach, so that Zhu San and Jing Hong quickly understood the meaning.

If you understand the meaning, you can recite it again to get twice the result with half the effort.

It is the best age to absorb knowledge, Zhu San and Jinghong have a good foundation, a smart mind, and a good gentleman to teach, of course, learn things quickly.

"What Zhu Hao taught you?"

Zhu Youqi couldn't help but glance at Yuan Zonggao when he heard this.

Yuan Zonggao showed embarrassment, and said immediately: "Third prince, you mean, it was Zhu Hao who taught you these things?" He ......"

With Yuan Zonggao's scheming, he naturally wanted to think, could it be that kid had some conspiracy and tricks to teach Zhu Sanxue? But after thinking about it carefully, before Zhu Youqi came out with the question, even he didn't know what the question would be, and Zhu Hao probably didn't even know if there was this exam, how could he give the answer in advance?

It's speechless.

Sui Gongyan, as a person hired by the palace with a lot of money, can be said to be the most famous Confucian student in Anlu, and Zhu Houxi, who he taught, was at a loss to know about it, and Zhu San, a seven-year-old child professor, could actually understand his meaning and talk eloquently to the examiner?

Zhu Sandao: "Father, Mr. Yuan, in the past few days, Mr. Sui may have something to do, and he rarely shows up in the school, let us memorize the Analects and Mencius by ourselves, but we have long been familiar with it, so Zhu Hao taught us what he knew on the blackboard." ”

"Zhu Hao's lecture is interesting, he said everything very clearly, I will understand it after listening to it...... He also asked us to discuss it on our own and verify the truth in the book......"

As soon as I heard it, I deviated from the norm.

Exploring the rights and wrongs of Confucian classics? You kid, this is going against God.

But here's the problem......

This teaching method is really effective, otherwise Zhu San, who is usually so playful and no one cares about his learning progress, why can he come out on top in this exam?

Zhu Youqi wanted to say something, but Yuan Zonggao next to him reminded: "King Xing, it's better to test a few more questions for the two princes to see what they see." ”

Before, Yuan Zonggao just wanted to inspect the progress of the two children's schoolwork, but now he wants to identify Zhu Hao's education level, or how firmly Zhu Hao's knowledge is mastered.

Zhu Youqi nodded: "Then there are two more questions, you listen well......

The next question is still the content of the last two verses of the Analects, and when the question is thrown, Zhu Houxi can only stare there without surprise.

Zhu San can't completely answer it, but after thinking about it briefly, she can basically say the meaning of the question, and add some so-called her own opinions, in fact, these opinions are just instilled by Zhu Hao in class, which subtly makes her feel that this is the correct answer.

In the end, Yuan Zonggao, who was listening carefully, smiled bitterly.

Yuan Zonggao thought to himself: "It is said that famous teachers produce high apprentices, it seems that the one who teaches Zhu Hao's knowledge has a very high level!" Could it be that person is really the world-famous and depressed Tang Yin? ”
