Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 397 Yin Goes to Guo Lai (Part [-])
It's July, when it's hot.The wind stops the cicadas, and the trees are quiet.

In today's class, Zhu Yijun felt drowsy, and Mr. Xu Guo seemed to know that reading in this weather is really hard, so he didn't talk much today, it was "The Doctrine of the Mean" Chapter 10, only a few paragraphs in total.

It stands to reason that it is easy to memorize, for example, Gao Yushi, Zhu Yijun knew that he must have been able to recite it fluently - because at the moment Gao Yushi was sitting aside practicing calligraphy, Zhu Yijun even peeked a few times, and saw a poem written on it :

Xilu cicadas sing, Nanguan guest thinks of invading.

That is worthy of the shadow on the temples, come and sing to the white head.

Lu Zhongfei is difficult to get in, and the wind is loud and easy to sink.

No one believes in Gao Jie, who will show their hearts.

Zhu Yijun has also read this poem. It is Luo Binwang's "Singing Cicadas in Prison", which is known as one of the "Three Wonders of Chanting Cicadas" in all dynasties.If it wasn't for Zhu Yijun's homework, he really should have a good discussion with Gao Yushi - even if you heard the cicadas singing outside the palace, you shouldn't have thought of the song "Singing Cicadas in Prison", right?

People say that the cicada of Yu Shinan, "lives loudly and far away, not from the autumn wind" is the language of Tsinghua people; Cicada, "It's hard to be full with high, but it's useless to hate Feisheng", is a complaint.

Even if you are highly pragmatic and hear the cicadas singing and think of the cicadas, shouldn't you first think of Yu Shinan's song?You are a dignified little Sanyuan who is under ten years old. Before that, you had a rookie "Long Wen Whip Shadow", and not long ago, you had a swan song "Xin Zheng Dui Yun" (Note: the high-level pragmatic version of "Li Weng Dui Yun"), not to mention enjoying a good reputation in the literary world , at least it is also the attention of scholars, what troubles do you have?
To talk about official career, it is even more miraculous. In the past 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, the first prince who was not a real Hanlin accompanied him. The third uncle is the court assistant, what troubles do you have?
Just as Zhu Yijun thought of this, he saw that Gao Wushi had already looked towards him at some point, and after winking for a while, he pouted at the hourglass next to him.

Zhu Yijun subconsciously glanced at it, and couldn't help but secretly groaning, just a few words, why can't I remember them well today? If things go on like this, lunch should be late-it's a small thing to be hungry, but lunch is late, It must be known by the mother and concubine, and it must be asked about it in the afternoon, and it will inevitably be a little bad at that time.

Zhu Yijun coughed dryly, winked at Gao Yushi, and said loudly: "It's very hot, you guys, go get some ice cubes... It doesn't need much, it's enough for half an hour here."

A few young eunuchs didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to go.As the prince's companion, Feng Baoben was reading a book, and at this moment he glanced up at the hourglass, then at Zhu Yijun and Gao Yushi, said nothing, and lowered his head, as if he wanted to continue reading again.

Speaking of it, it was really hard work for him. He held the important positions of Chief Bingbi of the Rites Supervisor and Admiral of the East Factory, and he had to come to supervise the prince's study from time to time, but Feng Bao didn't seem to find it hard at all. The time of Dongchang was wasted by coming to the prince.

Of course, not many people think that he is wasting time. For example, Gao Gong, nephew Gao Yushi, Concubine Li, Zhang Juzheng and others don’t think so, but His Royal Highness thinks that Feng Bao is wasting time, and even a little bit because of it. guilt.

But the owner's guilt towards the slaves can be basically ignored, so at this moment Zhu Yijun only feels that Feng Bao's presence here is a hindrance, because he wants to find Gao Yushi to "cheat".

In fact, Zhu Yijun's so-called "cheating" is fundamentally different from the understanding of later generations. He didn't want to help him "take the exam" because it was impossible.

His so-called cheating was actually asking Gao Yushi to explain to him the lesson he learned today—don’t be surprised, the ancients would memorize the text first, that is, memorize it by rote, and you don’t need to know what it means .What we pay attention to is a "reading a hundred times, its meaning will be seen by itself". (Wufeng’s Note: The difference between Eastern and Western education methods, I think I seem to have mentioned it before, so I won’t repeat it.)
But doing so is actually a talent. For example, Gao Yushi doesn’t know why, and his memorization is very strong. He can basically recite it after reading it once, but Zhu Yijun can’t do it. Sometimes he can recite it many times and forget it in a blink of an eye.

Later, Gao Wushi began to "cheat" him, quietly telling him the meaning of those "texts", and often even giving him examples for analysis.Not to mention, although Zhu Yijun's reciting ability is average, his comprehension ability is excellent. Whenever there is a high-level practical explanation and analysis, he can immediately understand it, and in turn, he can recite it very quickly.

Today, Gao Wushi seems to be a little thoughtful. After reading it a few times before, he put the book aside, sat on his desk and practiced calligraphy, and did not come to explain it to Zhu Yijun.

Sure enough, without Zhu Yijun's highly pragmatic explanations, the efficiency of this recitation dropped greatly. Seeing that lunch was about to be delayed, he couldn't help it. He sent the little eunuchs away first, and then tried to find a way to distract Feng Bao so that Gao Wushi hurriedly came to talk to him.

However, dismissing the little eunuch is easy, but dismissing Feng Bao is a bit troublesome. Zhu Yijun was trying to find a reason to come out, but he heard Chen Hong's voice outside.

Feng Bao, who seemed to be concentrating on reading just now, immediately got up and walked out the door.

Good job!Zhu Yijun was overjoyed, and immediately looked at Gao Wushi, only to see Gao Wushi narrowing his eyes and looking at Feng Bao's back.

But what surprised Zhu Yijun was that he always felt that there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm hanging from the corner of Gao Yushi's mouth.

"Cough!" Zhu Yijun was worried that he would be "accused" by Concubine Li Gui later, and he didn't bother to care about Gao Yushi's expression, so he coughed dryly and said, "Yushi, come here."

Gao Wushi smiled, Shi Shiran got up and walked over, without any politeness in his mouth, he asked directly: "Which sentence do you not understand?"

Obviously, this kind of thing has happened enough, there is a tacit understanding between the two, and there is no need to talk nonsense.

Sure enough, Zhu Yijun didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Therefore, a gentleman is harmonious and does not flow; it is strong to be correct. ; Strong and correct."

Gao Wushi smiled slightly and explained: "Only from the literal meaning of this passage, what Confucius meant is: a person of high moral character, who is gentle and does not follow the crowd, is really strong. Stay neutral and impartial, You are truly strong. You are truly strong if you don’t change your ambitions when the country’s politics are clear. When the country’s politics are dark, you are truly strong if you stick to your integrity and would rather die than change.”

"Oh..." Zhu Yijun nodded, thought for a while, and asked again: "You said this is just a literal meaning, so is there any deeper meaning?"

Gao Yushi gave a "huh" and said softly: "Zilu has a reckless temperament and is brave and aggressive, so Confucius taught him: there are differences in being strong. There are physical strength and spiritual strength, but real strength is not physical strength. The strength of the spirit is the strength of the spirit. The strength of the spirit is reflected in harmony without flow, softness and firmness; it is reflected in the doctrine of the mean; This is actually the consistent point of view of Confucius. For example, in the "Analects of Confucius Zihan", it is said that "the three armies can win the commander, but the man cannot lose the ambition." This is the strong that Confucius advocated."

"Oh... I understand." Zhu Yijun became happy now, stood up and patted Gao Yushi's shoulder vigorously, and said with emotion: "If you don't have pragmatism, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Pragmatically, your knowledge is really good, you must do well in the provincial and general examinations in the coming year, and you will be listed on the gold list as soon as possible, you and I will always have the monarch and ministers to join hands, and the day of greatness will be rejuvenated!"

Gao Yushi's complexion changed slightly, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your favor, the prince, but your majesty is ill...Prince, please be careful."

Zhu Yijun's expression also changed, he looked around subconsciously, and said in his mouth: "I don't mean anything else, just..."

At this moment, Chen Ju's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness, Eunuch Chen Hong, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, has something to see Gao Yude, do you think it is convenient now?"

　It went smoothly yesterday, but I got stuck today... After this important transition, the hand-to-hand confrontation between Gao and Zhang will begin, so I write more cautiously, and today's Chapter 2 may not be released.
