Thinking of his uncle Ji Za, who can be called the "No. 1 Prophet of the Spring and Autumn Period", Qingji felt inexplicable in his heart for a while.

Ji Za's help to Qingji and his contribution to the state of Wu are selfless.

If it weren't for the conditions, Qingji would already have the same feelings as the previous king Zhufan and others, and pass the throne to Ji Zha......

After leaving the Zide Palace, Qingji followed suit and went to the palace school surrounded by a group of people from Gong'e Temple.

The so-called palace school is the school of the princes.

Qingji had eighteen sons at this time, and among the sons who were suitable for school, there were ten sons such as Wu Hong, Wu Xi, Wu Qi, Wu Fa, Wu Bang, Wu Wei, Wu Zhang, and Wu Xun who had reached the age of entering school.

The eldest son, Wu Heng, is still far away in Yingdu, Chu State, as a proton, not counting.

According to Qingji's plan, the princes of Wu began to receive enlightenment when they were three years old, and they officially entered school at the age of five, and then they had a boring and boring learning career......

In order to train his sons well, Qingji can be said to have broken his heart.

Taishi Ji Za, Taifu Yanying and Taibao Sun Ping, three respected ministers, all retreated to the second line to preach and receive karma for the princes.

Even Confucius, when he had free time, would go to the palace school to give lectures!

"The king has arrived!"

With the announcement of the CRRC government's order, Kong Qiu, who was still lecturing for the princes in the school, hurriedly came over and bowed.

"Minister Kongqiu, see the king, the king for ten thousand years!"

"Son-in-law, see father!"

All the princes hurriedly got up and saluted, and their voices were a little milky.

"No courtesy."

"What are you, my lord?"

Seeing Kong Qiu's puzzled face, Qing Ji smiled slightly and said, "Confucius, don't pay attention to the widow. The widow will hear your lecture in this school today. ”

"This ......"

Kong Qiu hesitated.

However, he then figured it out!

Qingji came to audit, presumably to see the quality of Kongqiu's teaching, as well as the qualifications of the princes.

Qingji pays great attention to cultivating his sons!

Thinking of this, Kong Qiu returned to the podium and picked up the bamboo slips.

By this time, printing had become widespread, and a large amount of paper was produced for use in books, but Kong Qiu still preferred to use bamboo slips......

Qingji came to the back of the school and sat down.

Wu Hong, Wu Xi and other sons sitting in front of them didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of being subjected to Qingji's "death gaze" or being reprimanded.

After all, in their minds, Qingji is very majestic and inviolable.

"The reason why all soldiers fight first, saints and sages, not for the love of honor. Taoism knows ability, not for the love of official positions. Skillful and brave, not for love......"

Kongqiu, who was holding the bamboo slip book, recited it on the top, and all the sons under the podium did not dare to slack off, so they picked up the textbook one after another and recited it one by one.

Qingji knows that this is the content of "Pipe Preparation".

But is it really good to learn this kind of thing?

There is a lot of philosophy here, implying the art of the emperor, and ordinary scholars feel obscure, let alone a half-grown teenager like Zhu Gongzi?

Getting elementary school students to go to high school is ......

Qingji was a little worried.

“…… Therefore, the state is governed by instruments, the rich country has affairs, the country is strong, the winning country is reasonable, and the world is divided. ”

After reciting this paragraph, Kong Qiu put down the bamboo slip in his hand again, looked around, and prepared to ask a prince to get up and answer the question.

"Hee Gongzi."

"The students are here."

Wu Xi, who was read his name, immediately stood up and was eager to try.

"Personnel is in turmoil, and it is broken by ten. If you can't prepare it, you can double it. Therefore, those who fight for the army cannot do it in the end of the city, and those who have the way cannot do it in the absence of a king. ”

"Therefore, I don't know that it is coming, and it is impossible to stop. I don't know that it will go, and it can't be stopped. Although the enemy is numerous, he cannot wait. ”

What does that mean? Can you elaborate on it? ”

Kongqiu asked.

After Wu Xi pondered for a moment, he replied: "If the enemy country is in a state of personnel disorder, you can break a hundred with ten; If the enemy country is not equipped with weapons, it can be doubled with half a blow, so the military battle does not fight the strong city, and the moral one does not fight the country without a king. ”

"that they may not know that they are coming, and when they come, they will be defenseless; so that no one may know that he is leaving, and he cannot be stopped when he goes. ”

"Although there are many enemies, they cannot be stopped and defended."

"Sir, is the student's translation satisfactory?"

"Good."

Kong Qiu bowed slightly, and let Wu Xi sit down again.

Immediately afterward, Kong Qiu ordered a few more sons to get up and answer the question.

All are children over the age of five.

Translate a passage of text, or recite a passage, you can basically do it.

This surprised Qingji.

Is it because their talent is too demonic, or is it because they underestimate the learning ability of the princes?

After class, Zhu Gongzi has to complete another of his studies - the six arts of the gentleman.

The so-called six arts of a gentleman are etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, which are the six compulsory courses for gentlemen in this era.

Its content includes five rites, six music, five shots, five royals, six books, and nine numbers.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people's learning of the Six Arts was carried out in an orderly manner according to the age of the students and the depth of the curriculum.

What the princes have to learn now is "royal", that is, driving a chariot......

For example, Wu Hong and Wu Xi, because they are older, they learn to "shoot" first.

When the princes were learning "royal" and "shooting", Taishi Ji Za was also present and guided them with Kongqiu.

Looking at the princes who were driving in a car on the horse farm, Qingji was very pleased.

Ji Za then came to Qingji's front and sat down with him.

"Uncle, you have to bother to work hard to guide the princes' studies."

"King, this is what the old minister should do, why bother to work hard?"

Ji Za shook his head and said, "However, the old minister still has a worry in his heart now. ”

"Why are you worried?"

"In the king's opinion, among the princes, which is better or worse?"

Ji Zha's words can be said to have stopped Qingji.

With so many sons, which one is better?

"It's hard to say."

Qingji couldn't answer.

Because he has too many things to do, it is not easy to spare some time to pay attention to the studies of the princes and give them occasional guidance.

I really want to understand that son is better and that son is inferior, and Qingji is "hard to say".

"The king treats the princes as if he were the harem concubines, basically the rain and dew are evenly wet, and there is little preference, however, in the eyes of the old minister, it is a hidden danger."

"How can my uncle see it?"

Qingji asked with a frown.

Ji Za sighed faintly and said: "The princes of the king are all excellent, but each son has a different heart, but they all have hidden ambitions. ”

"Hong Gongzi is virtuous and filial, and has the style of a benevolent and righteous monarch, but he is a little cowardly."

"Young Master Xi has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and he is a generation of heroes. Just be strong and impatient. ”

"Qi Gongzi is still martial, born with divine power, and can be a general."

"Zhang Gongzi is very smart, but he is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, and he has great ambitions."
