Chapter 8: Palace Studies (1)
Chapter 8 Gong Xue
The suggestion that Yin Zhaoyang open a palace school was finally accepted by Chu Wangshang. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info palace school is set up in the hall of talents without any suspense, and the hall of talents is the place where the strategists defend and the bachelors meet, and the palace study here is the meaning of the question.
The person who presided over the palace school chose Shenzi unsurprisingly. Shenzi is a great person, his real name is Shendao, his ancestral home is Zhao, and he worshipped the Taoist patriarch Dongguo Shunzi as a teacher when he was a child. When he was older, he traveled to study in Qi and founded Jixia Palace School with Tian Piao and others, and was named Jixia Doctor by King Qi Xuan. Specializing in the study of Huang Lao, he is one of the eight sons of the Central Plains, and among the sons of the Warring States, he is the most famous one. For some reason, this Shenzi actually traveled south to the Chu State, and if the King of Chu Wei got the treasure, he was first named a guest secretary, and then he was crowned Taifu, as if he had become a generation of national teachers in the Chu Palace. It was presided over by Shenzi himself, which shows how much the King of Chu attaches importance to palace learning.
There are only thirteen students in Gongxue, including seven princes, namely the second son Xiong Tong, the third son Xiong Er, the sixth son Xiong Wan, the ninth son Xiong Huai, the tenth son Xiong Qian, the thirteenth son Xiong Nan, and the nineteenth son Xiong Jieyu. There are also six noble sons of the family, namely Zhao Slip of the Zhao family, the son of Zhaohu, Jing Li, the son of Jinghu, the Qu beggar of the Qu family, the grandson of Qu Tu, Xiang Bei of the Xiang family, the grandson of Xiang Gong, the Dou Bo of the Dou family, the son of Dou Zhong, and Ye Fei of the Ye family, the grandson of Ye Gong. These thirteen kings and grandsons, some of them are gentlemen, some are talents, some are hidden dragons, and some are dogs, which can be described as good and bad, virtuous and foolish. And there is a huge difference in age, the oldest Xiong Tong is twenty-seven years old, and the youngest Xiong Jieyu is only nine years old. But without exception, there is not a single one that does not have a tough backstage, and none of which is a fuel-efficient lamp!
With such a luxurious lineup and such a big difference, it will be even more difficult to run this palace school well!
On the first day of school, fourteen of the thirteen students came, and most of them were a handsome little scholar about ten years old. However, those who know the details know that this little scholar is Xiong Yue, the youngest daughter of Huang Guifei and the queen's daughter. This Xiong Yue doesn't like red clothes and loves arms, she has practiced martial arts and swords since she was a child, and she cares about national affairs. This time, I heard that I was going to run a palace school, so I had to beg Huang Guifei and the queen to participate, and I resolutely asked to participate. The queen couldn't, so she came forward in person, so this Xiong Yuecai disguised herself as a man and got her wish.
The students all sat on the brocade mats pre-laid in the hall, and each person put a nanmu table in front of them. Directly north of the hall lies a huge rectangular desk, and behind the desk is the teacher of these students, Shenzi.
Shenzi was a middle-aged scribe who did not wear a Chu costume and wore a cyan silk robe common in the Central Plains, with wide sleeves and dragon patterns on the cuffs. The face is white and beardless, and the face is vicissitudes, but the eyes are bright, and the face is ruddy and shiny, and he is obviously a person who is good at taking care of life and cultivating nature. On either side of Shenzi sat two young scholars in their twenties, both dressed in moon-white Central Plains costumes, but they were unknown.
Nineteen was the youngest because he was the youngest, and Xiong Yue was in the same row as him, while the older second, third, and sixth sons were all arranged behind.
Shenzi glanced at these students of different ages, different heights, sitting crookedly, and talking to each other, ignoring them, slowly took out the silk book from his arms, and said loudly: "The king has Zhao!"
When all the students heard this, they left their seats and bowed down, shouting unevenly: "Obey the king's orders!"
In a solemn tone, Shenzi read aloud:
"The widow thinks that the prosperity of the country is the first talent. Then he recruited a national teacher and ran a palace school. In order to teach famous teachers, sages to solve doubts, fortunate to hear the teachings, and learn the road. You and other students, the nobles of the country, must study diligently, tirelessly, in order to live up to the expectations of the widows. According to this, the widow carefully examines the conduct of conduct, screens the academic superiority, distinguishes the virtuous and the foolish, and determines the obtuseness of the virtuous. From the position of the crown prince, to the doctor and general, to the city of Yin Yizai, the noble and the low are equally divided, all to be decided, and you can't make mistakes. ”
This edict has made it very clear that the king of Chu should decide the future of the princes according to their performance and achievements in the palace school. Even the position of the crown prince must be judged by the merits of palace learning. It can be seen that the king of Chu attaches great importance and expectations to palace learning!
The sons were silent, and they were all shocked by the edict of the king of Chu. This is not a joke, the king of Chu has always been true to his word. Having said that, it is possible to do so. Although I don't know what method to take to judge whether it is good or bad, as long as it is related to the position of the crown prince, it is a trivial matter. originally thought that Gongxue was just a scene, and the excitement would end in a few days, who would have thought that the king would be so serious this time. Those who have the idea of watching the excitement and messing around are depressed. And those who have big ambitions and intentions are full of ambition and feel that the opportunity is rare. Everyone had their own hearts, but without exception, they all put away their contempt and looked at Shenzi intently.
Shen Zi coughed lightly and said lightly: "The king is wise, and the cultivation of talents is the foundation of the country. As a teacher of teaching, he will be able to fulfill his duties and live up to the king's trust. In addition to the normal teaching of books, mathematics, poems, and rituals, this palace study should also increase the learning of ancient history, the Spring and Autumn Period, the moral mantra, and the Huang Lao Sutra. Today, this seat will take the outstanding entrepreneurial history of the Chu people as the first lesson. ”
"The Chu people are the descendants of the ancient emperor Gaoyang, and they are noble, and they are originally a lineage of my Central Plains. Gao Yang, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and the son of Changyi. The ancestor of the Chu people, the bear, adhered to the will of heaven, went south to Jianghan, educated Sanmiao, Ze and Jiuyi, and was attacked by the eight barbarians, and then became an ancestral industry. The mother of the Chu people, Yan Li, gave birth to a son, Liji, and died in childbirth. Wu Zhu was buried wrapped in thorns, and the thorns, Chu also, the inherent title of the Chu people. Extended to Chu Zi Xiong Yi, set up in Jing Mountain, to the grass everywhere; the road is blue, to wade the mountains and rivers, the country is flourishing, the land is wide, Zhou Tianzi is located in Chu, Chu is the beginning of the forest of princes. Those who walk on the road are also firewood carts, and those who are blue wisps are also old clothes. The ancestors of Chu, respecting heaven and fearing life, and working hard to start a business, have the blessings of your noble lordship, how can you not remember it in your chest? The ancestors of Chu, I sincerely serve the proverb that the people's livelihood is diligent, and if you can be diligent and not die, how can you be full of food all day long and be willing to waste?"
"When the Chu people reached the time of King Wu of Chu and King Wen of Chu, they revitalized the army and conquered the world......"
Shenzi spent a whole hour telling the history of the Chu people's entrepreneurship. Some of the nineteen have heard the master talk about this, but most of the content is the first time they have heard it. Thinking of his ancestors being so brave and resolute, so hard, and so hard, I felt a sense of pride in my heart that I was born as a descendant of the Chu people.
After Shenzi finished talking about the history of Chu, he pointed to the two scholars sitting on both sides, and said to Zhuzi: "These two are both disciples of this seat, Lu Sheng is sitting on the left, and Xu Sheng is on the right, both of whom are erudite people. Lu Sheng is responsible for tutoring young people in literacy and hyphenation, and Xu Sheng is responsible for solving doubts and doubts after the lecture. From today onwards, classes will be held for one hour in the morning, and one hour for self-study and Q&A, and the afternoon will be the same as in the morning. Study for four hours a day, do not be late, and report to the king every three days. With that, he nodded slightly to the two young scholars, lightly lifted his robes with both hands, and walked straight out of the hall.
As soon as Shenzi left the hall, there was a slight commotion in the learning order in the hall. The third son Xiong Er is a cripple, born to the king of Chu and the folk women outside the palace, and was sent back to the palace by the king of Chu after birth, and his mother was exiled to the people, and he did not know what happened. Bears Ears is twenty-five years old this year, with a perverse personality, ruthless and deceitful, and the most unwilling to be lonely, the master who loves right and wrong. Seeing Shenzi leaving, he became bolder, squeezed his eyebrows at the second son Xiongtong, and shouted in his mouth: "What do outsiders know about the history of the Chu people? Second brother, you can talk to the king, even if you can't learn from this palace, why put me in a bunch of little children?"
