Chapter Seventeen
Even though it is more than two thousand years apart, even if there are no chairs, tables, and blackboards, the classroom is still the classroom. In the gentle breeze and drizzle, the ups and downs of Song Yu, the old minister of the three dynasties, made the students just want to doze off.
Xiong Jing didn't know that Taimiao's divination was related to his destiny and future. At this time, he didn't want to be sleepy at all, and was only fascinated by Song Yu's story - there was no simple and childish text like "Spring is here, and the little swallow flew back from the south". Students who just entered school had to learn "Spring and Autumn" in the first year. Students learned "Spring and Autumn", while teachers taught "Biography" as a supplement. This is not a Chinese class - Chinese class taught "The Book of Songs", this is a historical story class. Every day in class, they read "Spring and Autumn" first, and then listen to historical stories. After the story was told, Song Yu began to ask questions and summarize, who did good or who did evil, students had their own insights and understandings in the discussion.
‘Teaching the Spring and Autumn Annals, and doing good and suppress evil; teaching the World, and doing it is bright and virtuous and abandoning the dark and dark; teaching the Songs, and teaching the guide and show virtue to illuminate their ambitions; teaching the Rites, so that they can know the principles of the upper and lower levels; teaching the Music, and teaching the Essays, and teaching the virtues, and knowing that the affairs of the previous kings use the virtues to the people...’
It is said that modern things will shock the ancients, but the education of the ancients will make future generations feel inferior. Mr. Xuegong teaches students not only knowledge, but the most important thing they teach is their nature and sentiment, so that students can urge good and suppress evil, and know the principles of virtue. On the first day of school, Song Yu, who taught "Spring and Autumn Annals", said the above passage and then gave the students four words: "A gentleman is not a weapon."
What is not a tool? Xiong Jing’s understanding is that he does not focus on knowledge and does not focus on scores. The Lantai Academy does not train undergraduate, master, doctoral or engineers, which is the pursuit of mediocre people. The Academy trains real aristocrats, whose temperament, words and deeds must conform to the style of a gentleman. In this way, only after the university is completed can the king govern the country and educate the people.
"...Zhi Zhong was worried about it, and Zheng Bo was worried about it, so he asked Ji Zhong's son-in-law Yong Ji to kill him. He was about to enjoy the suburbs, and Yong Ji knew about it. He said to his mother, "Who is close to his father or husband?" His mother said, "It's just that my father is just a man, and Hu Kebi." Then he told Ji Zhong, "Yong's house was abandoned, and he was about to enjoy his son in the suburbs. I bewildered him and told him." Ji Zhong killed Yong Ji and his body were Wang from Zhou's family. The Duke sent him out and said, "It's time to ask a woman to die."
In class, the teacher Song Yu read a story: The Ji Zhong in Zheng State was in chaos, so Zheng Li Gong asked Ji Zhong's son-in-law Yong Jiu to kill Ji Zhong. After Yong Jiu received the order, he planned to take action when he was in the suburbs. When his wife Yong Ji found out, he asked his mother: Who is more important to get close to her father and husband? His mother replied, "It's just a husband, but Hu Kebi." It means that as long as a man is a husband, there is only one father, how can he compare? So Yong Ji told his father about Yong Jiu's plan, and Yong Jiu killed Ji Zhong in the wild. Zheng Li Gong restrained him and sighed: "It's better to have a plan to die if a woman is planned."
Elementary school students are all children. Although according to the rules of the school, the royal family Yuzi entered school at the age of eight (the prince did not enter the school, and the King of Chu hired a special master in the East Palace), the legitimate son of the prince was admitted to school at the age of thirteen, and the concubine of Yuzi was fifteen. Fang Zhuo showed his rank, but this story was still too dark and complicated. As before, after telling this story, Song Yu looked around all the students and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Everything is understood." Xiong Jing, the royal family, was the only one, and the rest were thirteen or fifteen years old, and they understood them all.
"Is Zijing unsolvable?" Xiong Jing sat in the first row, right in front of Song Yu. After all, she was not even eight years old. Most of the gentlemen asked Xiong Jing if she understood after speaking.
"Sir: All students understand." Xiong Jing knelt down and replied. He seemed to have heard the saying "If you plan to get a woman, you should die." He did not expect it to come from here.
"All I understand, is Yong Ji evil? Is Li Gong good?" Song Yu smiled and entered school before he started to grow old. He thought Xiong Jing would not be able to keep up, but he did not expect Xiong Jing to be smarter than imagined, and often had thought-provoking words that made people admire each other, so he liked to ask Xiong Jing.
"Yong Ji loves his father. This woman's nature is that she has no distinction between good and evil. Zheng Bo ordered his ministers to kill his uncle with courtesy, which is not good."
When Song Yu heard this, he smiled and nodded and asked again: "If Zi Jing is Zheng Bo, why would he sacrifice to Zhong?"
The topic is extended step by step. This is no longer about distinguishing good and evil, but teaching political skills. Before Xiong Jing could answer, Song Yu asked other students again: "How do you deal with Ji Zhong when you are a boss of Zheng?"
Before Song Yu finished speaking, a person in the last row stood up, "Sir: If I am a traitor in Zheng, I will kill him personally, without the hands of Yong Jiu."
The person who spoke was a fifteen-year-old Lu Chuang, a child of the devastated prince. He probably was worried that others would look down on him and often acted boldly and bravely. Song Yu smiled unabashedly when he heard this. Although Lu Chuang was not wise, he had the courage.
"Sir: I will make friends with Chu State, take Chu State as an alliance, and drive the scholar Zhong out of Zheng." Lu Gao, who was also sitting in the last row, knelt down and replied. His thoughts were completely different from Lu Chuang. It seemed that life was difficult and hard.
"Sir, I will sacrifice to the Taimiao, and Buzhi will act as a good place..." Another student kneeled down and answered, but his answer was immediately refuted, "If you want to make a decision, why not make a decision? People who are chaotic in the country should kill them quickly."
Once the talk is made, more than 30 students chatter and have all kinds of answers. In short, the higher the seats, the more reliable the answers, because the students are older and have more experience; the higher the front row, the more outrageous the answers, except Xiong Jing.
There was a lot of chaos, and the answerers were basically finished. Song Yu looked at Xiong Jing and smiled and said, "What is Zijing?"
"..." Xiong Jing pondered, and asked back without answering: "May I ask Mr. Ji Zhong was a doctor of Zheng, how could he arbitrarily cut off his power?"
"Haha." Song Yu was obviously stunned, then laughed out loud, and he nodded in praise: "Shan, Da Shan. Ji Zhong was a doctor of Zheng. He could be arbitrarily in Zheng State, and his office was weak. How do you deal with Zijing? Kill him? Enlist him to drive him to the great country?"
For those who are arbitrarily ruling the power of the state, either killing or expelling them. This is the summary of the students' answers, and there is indeed no better way. When Song Yu asked again, Xiong Jing said, "I will kill him personally."
The whole class was quiet and listened to Xiong Jing's answer. He heard that his answer was "kill him personally". Lu Qi, who was sitting in the back row, shouted "Shan". Lu Gao, who answered "using Chu as the alliance to drive Ji Zhong out of Zheng", couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: Prince Jing is too young! The other students looked different, and many people chose to kill Ji Zhong, but they did not do it themselves, but wanted to change to a minister who could succeed.
"If you don't enter a dangerous country, you won't live in a chaotic country, and those who know your destiny do not stand under the rock wall. What should you do if you kill someone in person if you don't care about death?" Song Yu asked again. He felt that Xiong Jing seemed too reckless, and killing someone in person was not a good choice.
"If a minister kills his uncle, he will not be kind; if a king avoids his ministers, he will not be brave. If he is not kind or brave, how can he become a king?"
Xiong Jing is the shortest among all the students, but every time he speaks, it makes people look up to him. "Why are you a king without being kind or brave?" Not to mention other students, even Song Yu stood there on the spot. With his understanding of the Chu kings of Chu in the past dynasties, there are only wise kings such as King Wen, King Wu, King Zhuang, King Zhao, and King Wei, but the only one who can truly achieve this is probably the only king of King Wu.
*
The coursework is still continuing. In the Taimiao, the ancient prayer is approaching the end. The tortoise shell that is burning and snapping is finally taken out. This time, the King of Chu personally served as Zhenren. Guan Ji is a Bu Ren, and Guan Yi is a diviner. Zhenren is the questioner, and the Bu Ren is the burning and prayer. Finally, it is determined that the diviner who interprets the sign pattern is the diviner.
He was already praying before the tortoise shell was sent to Guanyi. Under the persuasion of his brother, he no longer had the intention to help Prince Jing become the king, but he was still a little excited in front of this tortoise shell that determined the future ownership of the Chu State's royal power.
The tortoise shells are full of fire-burning signs, which resemble the characters "Bu", which is the origin of the character "Bu". Some of the tortoise shells in front of him are downward, which is unlucky; some of the characters "Bu" are upward, which is auspicious. However, what is amazing is that the characters "Bu" on the tortoise shells are unprecedented. He looked carefully and looked at them again and again, and it was indeed unprecedented. Blessed by Taiyi God!
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at Guan Yi, not because they were afraid that he would fabricate the divination. After interpreting the divination, others wanted to verify the divination. The Chu State had a long history of determining the national policy through divination. The ministers all knew some divination techniques. They were so concerned because the divination result was too important.
"I dare to give the king: Now is not the time to establish a eldest son." The silent Taimiao, even the servants outside the door could hear Guanyi's voice.
"What is not the time to establish a eldest son?" The King of Chu was still worried, not understanding how this result could be. He was a Zhenren, and his destiny was written by him - with the head and tail of the tortoise shell as the axis, the left side was: Xiong Jing is the eldest son; the right side was: Xiong Han is the eldest son. The tortoise shell is burned by charcoal fire, and the signs on both sides must be different. The diviner looks at the signs to determine the good and bad luck. On the left side, Xiong Jing is the eldest son; on the right side, Xiong Han is the crown prince, how could the result be 'This is not the time to establish a eldest son'.
The King of Chu was full of confusion, but Chunshen Jun Huang Xie was extremely disappointed. Guan Ji received his heavy money, and even if he didn't help each other, he would not be biased. He knew that the decree was engraved on the tortoise shell, and he had the result... I remember that he failed last time, and he couldn't help but think: Could it be that the previous king really didn't want to be the king of Chu?
"Where is the tortoise shell?" The King of Chu's voice was weak.
"Here." Guan Yi carefully presented the tortoise shell.
"Why... why is this?" King Chu looked at it again and again, not only did he not solve it, but he was deeper - the signs on the sentences on both sides of the tortoise shell were the same. How is this possible! The thickness of the two sides of the tortoise shell was not uniform, and the strokes of the words "Jing" and "Hao" were also different. When burned in the fire, there would always be some differences in the cracks on both sides, but now the signs on the left and the signs on the right are also the signs on the right, and there is no way to distinguish the good and good. He has been divining a lot in his life, and he has never encountered such a thing.
"Don't the previous king want me to establish a eldest son?" The King of Chu, who had only two legitimate sons, came up with a similar divination as Guan Ye.
