Chapter 20: Taifu
The naughty boy turned his head and said, "This king is talking to you!" Jia Jing's eyes lowered and said, "I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yue said." Li Ming, the king of Yue, said: "This king asked you if you were sleeping standing up." ”
Jia Jing smiled and said, "Yes, I am sleeping." Li Ming's eyes glared: "Really? How did you do it, is it good to teach this king? Jia Jing looked at the stupid boy with a smile and said, "As long as His Royal Highness King Yue learns to bark from now on, he will naturally stand and sleep." ”
Li Ming was just a four or five-year-old child, how could he know that Jia Jing was teasing him, so he said suspiciously: "Really? You didn't lie to the king? Jia Jing smiled and nodded: "His Royal Highness King Yue doesn't know, this horse has always been standing and sleeping, and he knows some yin and yang techniques in the lower part of the trick, so he knows some secret methods, as long as His Royal Highness King Yue starts to learn to bark when he meets people today, and shouts as urgent as the law, within a month, he will naturally learn this stunt of standing and sleeping." ”
The little eunuch next to him endured hardship, but Li Ming stood on tiptoe and patted Jia Jing's shoulder with satisfaction: "You know each other, by the way, who are you?" How could it be in the palace? ”
"He's the prodigy Jia Jing!"
Jia Jing raised his head to look at the person who spoke, only to see a large group of people walking in, led by half of the young men who were smiling and looking at him, Li Ming saw that he was just about to say hello and hesitated for a moment to learn to neigh, looking at the young man's stunned expression, Jia Jing couldn't help laughing.
Li Ming is a child of the Heavenly Family, no matter how young and stupid he is, he also knows that he was being teased by Jia Jing at this time, so he was annoyed and said angrily: "Ling! You dog minion! You ......" The young man scolded: "Old Seven! Don't be rude! ”
Li Ming said aggrievedly: "Big brother, he, he is playing ...... me" Jia Jing's eyes narrowed slightly and smiled, the young man was Li Qin, the eldest son of Emperor Yongxi, the king of Chu, Jia Jing couldn't help but look at him, Li Qin smiled and said: "You must be naughty and naughty again, otherwise Jia Jing will easily provoke you to do something?" ”
Saying that, looking at Jia Jing, Jia Jing couldn't help but laugh, what he said was obviously accusing the younger brother, but what did he look at me again? Therefore, Jia Jing smiled and said: "I just played a little joke with His Royal Highness King Yue...... Li Ming pulled the rooster and shouted: "What are you!" Also worthy of joking with this king? ”
Li Qin stopped: "Okay! That's the end of it! Li Ming went back to study! Jia Jing, don't say any more! You come with me, and I'll introduce you. Jia Jing's face was pale, and Li Ming was angry but had to sit back in his seat aggrieved.
Jia Jing rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm sorry, uh...... I wonder who this Highness is? Li Qin was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I am Li Qin, the eldest son of His Majesty." Jia Jing nodded and said, "Oh, Your Highness, Jia Jing is just ordered to study, and he is not worthy of sitting with all the princes and grandsons, Jia Jing should do his own thing first." ”
Regardless of Li Qin's pale face, he walked up to Li Ming, who was wiping his tears, and bowed and saluted: "Jing just made a little joke with His Royal Highness King Yue, and I didn't think that I would have time to explain His Highness...... Everything is Jing's fault, and I hope His Royal Highness King Yue will forgive me. ”
When did Li Ming, who has always been the youngest and least unskilled, be treated like this, so he sucked his little nose a little at a loss, timidly glanced at the eldest brother with an ugly face, nodded and raised his head a little arrogantly and said softly: "Okay, this king forgives you......"
Jia Jing smiled, nodded at Li Qin again, and then stood at the door again, Li Qin smiled stiffly and then said softly: "Jia Jing, you don't have to stand at the door, and find a seat to sit down first." Jia Jing bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, it's just that Jia Jing is the first day of school, and the masters probably don't recognize me, so let's wait for the masters to come and then arrange it." ”
No matter how good Li Qin's temper is, he is a half-grown teenager, and he can't stand it anymore when he is choked by Jia Jing, no matter how good his temper is, so he sat down in his seat and no longer paid attention to Jia Jing.
Jia Jing glanced at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, he didn't speak, and a few princes came in a hurry, all of them glanced at him strangely, and then went in to find a seat and sat down, Jia Jing saw this, and the corners of his mouth smiled more and more brightly.
Waiting outside until the sky was bright, many clan disciples looked at him with probes, and the clan girls who were rushing to Shuyi Palace in groups on the side were also surprised to find him, so they looked at a handsome guy on the road with a handsome guy in the previous world, and pointed at him with a smile.
Think about it, these princess county lords are like the female colonels in Shuyi Palace to adulthood or out of the cabinet, during this period they have hardly seen boys except for the brothers in the clan, at this time it is naturally a little excited to see him so good-looking, but it is estimated that this time to see him, because from today Jia Jing will not have to stand outside and wait for the master, those princess county lords are not brainless little girls who take the initiative to post him when they see his extraordinary appearance, and they usually make some jokes with their companions and enter the palace, There wasn't anything bloody.
When the bell rang outside, he saw a man in a wide semi-old Confucian robe walking over, with two books under his arm, looking elegant and easy-going but radiant, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Jia Jing standing respectfully outside the door: "You are ......"
Jia Jing bowed down and said, "Student Jia Jing, I am ordered to come to study with Mr. The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Oh, I heard, Jia Jing...... Have you read a book? Jia Jing bowed and said: "The student is ashamed, he has not read it, he has only learned a few words, and he has skimmed over the four books. ”
Jia Jing is telling the truth, he studied history in his previous life, and his level of learning Confucian classics is still in high school, although his memory in this life is surprisingly good, but he can only memorize a few famous sentences, and he can roughly understand what it means, but this level is probably equivalent to the level of just enlightenment in ancient times when the Four Books and Five Classics were the basic subjects of the college entrance examination......
A fierce prodigy like Zhang Juzheng has already been reversing backwards at the age of three or four, so although Jia Jing is now said to be a prodigy, he is actually very ...... He is now at most seven or eight years old and can write well, but other prodigies in history are much more ruthless than him, and they can memorize geese, right? Many people still think that this poem should not be praised so highly, and they imitate what to write about the duck and chicken, and they complacently feel that it exceeds the original work of the goose, but they don't know that this poem was written when Luo Bingwang was seven years old......
Seeing that Jia Jing had always lowered his eyes respectfully to be taught, the man couldn't help but look at him, and after a while, he smiled and said: "Such a character, such a character ......" Jia Jing hurriedly bowed down to show modesty, but the man laughed and pointed at him and shook his head and said, "No wonder Your Majesty called you to me!" Such a temperament is indeed suitable for me! ”
Jia Jing was a little dazed, and the man said: "I am Zhou Huan, and now I am ordered to teach all the princes, since you have also entered Jingyang Palace, you must not be like other princes, they are the king, and you are just my disciple." When Jia Jing heard this, he said respectfully: "But according to Mr. Order." Zhou Huan scooped him up, pulled him in with great strides, and said to a little eunuch at the door: "Prepare tea." ”
The little eunuch didn't dare to disobey, so he went down in a panic to prepare, but Zhou Huan directly pulled him in front of the princes and said, "This is my new disciple, and it is estimated that only this one disciple will be accepted." Zhou Huan said and sat down on his seat, his fingers tapped on the table, and looked at Jia Jing with a smile.
After a moment of sullenness at the bottom, Li Qin stood up and said, "Taifu said that he was laughing, who here is not a disciple of Taifu?" Even if the house is opened in the future, it will be recognized as a master. Zhou Huan waved his hand and smiled: "Your identity is different, and this official is just teaching you on the orders of the emperor, but this one is different, I value him very much, and since he taught him, he can't be without a name." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Jia Jing, who was getting more and more cold sweating, Jia Jing felt the eyes of all the princes in the audience, including Li Qin, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, what is this Zhou Huan going to do? Do you give yourself a public execution? Do you think you haven't offended enough people today?
But Jia Jing didn't dare to act and speak without permission, so he stood more and more respectfully and calmly Ling Chi, who received the suspicious and jealous eyes of the princes, and lived like the little eunuch who seemed to have run to Wuyi Mountain to pick tea and fry tea in the middle of the year, and Zhou Huan straightened his sitting posture and said: "Jia Jing! ”
Jia Jing bowed and said, "The student is here." Zhou Huan urged narrowly: "Apprentice." Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, and then had to take the teacup handed over by the little eunuch, open the hem and kneel on the ground: "Mr. is above, student Jia Jing visits his teacher." Zhou Huan stroked his beard with satisfaction, took the tea in Jia Jing's hand, took a sip of tea, looked at Jia Jing with a smile, and said: "Before I go back today, go back with me to meet your master, our master-apprentice status is decided, you are my only disciple, I will naturally teach you, you are different from the princes, so the teacher will personally teach you, although you are a prince, don't think that you are a teacher and look down on ......you."
Jia Jing was already with a pale face and hurriedly interrupted: "How dare you! How dare you! ”
Teacher! Mr! I beg you! Shut up!
Jia Jing can now feel the stagnant gaze of those princes, which makes Jia Jing, who has always been cautious and cautious, feel as if he was stripped naked by Zhou Huan and thrown on the street......
What kind of character is Zhou Huan? Naturally, he saw through Jia Jing's situation at a glance, and this was also the result of his deduction, so he laughed and said: "Forgive me, princes, this official is happy to see the hunt, I will review yesterday's homework today, and I will personally test my disciple!" All the princes were numb, and the corners of his mouth were about to run sour, so he stood up and sent Zhou Huan away, so that he could not die, Zhou Huan waved his hand to let Jia Jing follow, Jia Jing swallowed his spit, and followed Zhou Huan out without being surprised.
Jia Jing followed Zhou Huan and walked around Jingyang Palace, Jia Jing looked at this gentleman, Zhou Huan also felt Jia Jing's sight of exploration but didn't take it seriously, in Jia Jing's previous life, the position of Taifu was mostly given to those who had made outstanding contributions in history after their deaths, to show that this person is a close minister of the heavenly family and does not regard it as an idle courtier, for example, Yu Qian Yue Fei is the prince Shaobao, the prince is the third young prince, the young master, the young master are all officials from the first grade, and the prince and the third prince Taibao, the prince, the teacher, Taifu Ke is a member of the first grade!
Although there are two kinds of Taifu, one is only a name and actually has an official position in the court, for example, Yang Jirong, the first assistant of the cabinet, is now holding the title of the crown prince, but in fact he does not undertake to supervise the prince to teach the prince, and Zhou Huan is obviously the second type, the kind of Taifu who is specifically responsible for guiding and educating the prince.
But Zhou Huan is not wrong in one sentence, worshipping him as a teacher is indeed not an insult to Jia Jing, according to the information collected by Jia Jing later, he is indeed a strange person, Zhou Huan turned out to be a prodigy-like character, much more powerful than him, only ten years old has won the first place in the children's examination, the first place in the township examination, the first place in the examination, only the palace examination can prove the name of even the three yuan, recognized as the champion, the limelight for a while, and the many young heroes who were in the imperial examination at the same time, no one in the world knows the name of Zhou Huan.
But then Zhou Huan actually withdrew from the palace test, and since then he has disappeared, which makes everyone regret it, and later someone in the know said that Zhou Huan came to the family when he met the Yuan, Zhou Huan's parents died at the same time, Zhou Huan was sad and shocked and actually gave up the exam and went home, but after arriving home, he was bullied by all kinds of bullying and his own poor management and lost his family business and wandered the streets, in short, it was a very tragic experience, and it was a very tragic experience to put it in the fantasy novel, which is the waste wood period of the genius male protagonist, but Zhou Huan's waste wood period is extraordinarily long......
Zhou Huan has sunk for nearly 30 years, and Zhou Huan, who has traveled most of the Yan in his forties, suddenly realized that he was enlightened in a dilapidated post station, and his reputation has since become more than in the past, and no one in the Shilin praises him as "the true Confucianism of the world", I don't know where Emperor Yongxi fished him out, and did not let him enter the cabinet directly, but it was not that he was unworthy but was not willing to protect him and was reluctant to be damaged in the political struggle, but when the old ministers of Hongzhi were almost cleaned up, it was the day when Zhou Huan entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister!
