Poor family mother and son

Chapter 729 The way of a scholar

Xiaobao just returned Chu Qing's smile, and even picked up a piece of meat for Chu Qing: "Mother, it's delicious!"

The emperor invited him to dinner, but his son only served his mother at his own table, so Chu Qing had no choice but to apologise to the emperor.

The emperor just waited for Chu Qing to speak, and praised Xiaobao smoothly: "Well, yes, he is a filial child, but..."

Xiaobao put down his chopsticks and waited for the emperor to speak.

The emperor said: "After all, you have obtained the honor of being a scholar, so you should have a deeper understanding of filial piety. It should not be enough to just serve your mother with food, right?"

The topic was naturally led to the content of today's class by the emperor.

Xiao Bao replied sincerely: "Your Majesty, you are right! In today's class, Mr. taught us Chapter 2 of "The Classic of Filial Piety". Mr. also asked about the content of Chapter 5."

This is what I said. I talked about Chapter 2 and asked questions about Chapter 5. The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Xiaobao then reported what happened today, and tried his best to stop the other party's mouth before they asked the teacher: "Chapter 2 is the emperor's chapter. The sir asked me, and the boy said that this part should not be answered by the boy, so the teacher asked the boy to talk about what he should answer." part."

The emperor shook his head: "Learning is learning. How can learning be divided into what should be and what should not be? Since you asked a question, why don't you answer it?"

The emperor is the emperor, directly exposing Xiaobao's petty thinking of "finding faults" in class.

Little Treasure also shook his head: "Your Majesty, there is no distinction between what should be learned and what should not be learned, but there are different questions. Sir, I asked the wrong person when I asked about the filial piety of the emperor.

Chapter 1 of the "Book of Filial Piety" clearly stated that Confucius tested his student Zeng Zi: the emperors of previous generations had their supreme conduct and the most important morality, which was used to make the people of the world submit and the people live in harmony.No matter whether people are noble or humble, there is no resentment or dissatisfaction in the upper and lower levels.Do you know why that is?

This is a question that Confucius was about to talk about filial piety, and he was asking about the character of the emperor. Zeng Zi said he didn't know, but he was a student of Confucius;
And the boy has been neglecting his studies for six years, his teacher is Confucius, who is my teacher?He is Zeng Zi, who am I?How can you pretend to be smart?

Besides, what my husband asked was how to explain "Love and respect are all for relatives, but virtue and education are imposed on the common people and punished in the whole world". This is the filial piety of the emperor, and I dare not answer it. "

Raise the majesty of the Son of Heaven to the point where he dare not answer questions, and Xiao Bao can be regarded as a little ghost.

Chu Qing understood.

The last time the dispute was because Xiaobao didn't want to suffer for others, it was justified; this time it was Xiaobao who "deliberately found fault".

Why find fault?Hmph, let you take my son as a hostage in the palace?Then don't blame my son for not being a good student!
Chu Qing made a half-understanding expression to cooperate with Xiaobao: "Ah, yes, this is not a question we can answer."

Chu Qing's expression fully demonstrated the idea of ​​"the matter of the emperor, can we ordinary people make random guesses?".

Eunuch Li was standing right behind, and he could hear the conversation of several people clearly, he couldn't help curling his lips: Master Chu seems to have read a few books, but he is still a woman after all, and he can't understand the meaning.

The emperor was about to reprimand Xiaobao for sophistry, but found that Chu Qing was agreeing with her son, and suddenly realized: this may be the awe of the people for imperial power.

The mother and son are from the common people. What do the common people think of imperial power?

The Son of Heaven The Son of Heaven, the son of God, is the one who rules the world on behalf of the heaven.Divine right of kings.

That is a person who can do whatever he wants, kill whoever he wants,
Then it is understandable that Xiaobao dare not touch the topic of the emperor.

So let’s put it this way, when children do things, adults should not think the children are stupid or shameful, as long as they cooperate a little, the children’s behavior will become reasonable. Look, the emperor believes it.

The emperor couldn't help but cast a glance at Chu Qing: the child is smart, but it's a pity that he was reborn from a bad family, and it's a waste of good materials.

Princess Zhaohua was inexplicably relieved, and her body was not as straight as before.

"That's why you don't do your homework in class?" asked the emperor.

Princess Zhaohua tensed up again.

Don't think that the emperor didn't know why the gentleman asked Xiaobao. If he didn't find that Xiaobao was busy scribbling while the teacher was giving a lecture, could the husband call him by name?

"Back to the emperor, the boy just needs to be with the princes and create an atmosphere for them to learn," Xiaobao said seriously, as if he had already thought about his position:
"The reason why the princes need to read with them, the boy thinks, is that the princes are afraid of learning and think that learning is very boring. After sitting for a whole morning, the buttocks, no, the buttocks are going to be numb, and the brain must have become a paste ;
That's why I need someone to study with me, but obviously, the companionship of the princes can't play a very good role, so I need to study with me..."

It's over, it's over, it's over.

Damn, we can't talk like that, aren't you saying that the emperor gave birth to a litter of sons who don't like to study and don't play well with each other!
Look at the emperor's face, it's the same as when your mother held a parent-teacher meeting for you back then!

But, he is the emperor!
Chu Qing clenched the chopsticks so tightly that water was almost squeezed out.

As if he couldn't read his face, Xiaobao replied seriously: "Mother said: Studying is a hard job. The reason why I say it is hard is because it is difficult for people to persevere in one thing. The difficulty lies in the word persistence." ;

My mother also said: There are roads in the mountains of books and hard work as a path, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning; there is no shortcut to learning, just like planting crops, there will be no harvest without hard work;

To study is to work hard and work hard;

However, even if you are climbing a mountain, you have to stop and rest, so the kid thought, while creating a learning atmosphere for the princes, he also designed something for the princes to change their minds between classes;

My mother said: Learning should combine work and rest. When you are tired from studying, just play to relax your mind, and you can learn better in the next class. You have given the kid such a good learning opportunity. The lecturers are all great Confucians, the boy is grateful, but, the boy can't be an official now, so he can share your worries;

That kid will accompany the prince to class, at least let you worry less about them, and then help them play some fun games suitable for them, so that they will not be afraid of the pain of learning;
Chapter 5 of the "Book of Filial Piety" says: "Loyalty and obedience are the most important things." Although the boy is not named as a monarch and minister with you now, he still has the way of being a parent. The boy repays the emperor with a loyal and obedient heart. Son's filial piety. "

The "Book of Filial Piety" is an ancient Chinese Confucian classic that expounds the thought of filial piety and filial piety. Chapter 5 talks about the filial piety of "scholars".

A scholar refers to a scholar, and Xiaobao is a scholar. He combined the general idea of ​​Chapter 5, and said that he deserted in class in a high-sounding way-the emperor, it is filial piety to you, my boy, to accompany your son well!
The chopsticks in Chu Qing's hands are almost gone—it's really hard to hold back the unhappy!
People are afraid of the word serious.

Seriously talking nonsense, seriously taking the truth seriously, and seriously citing scriptures, the effect...

The emperor closed his eyes for a long time, and after a long time of luck, he asked: "Then you have researched something that can combine work and rest with study?"
