Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 33
"I remember, there is such a thing." Old Zhu pursed his mouth.

"We've approved this...that old man, what do you mean by 'set an example for the kings'."

"Is our son bad? Do you want his disciples to be role models?"

Prince Zhu Biao wisely chose not to talk.

Since he, a good student, "graduated" from Dabentang, among the remaining kings, only Jin Wang Zhu Yan could barely watch...

The others are really hard to describe...

"Hmm." Lao Zhu thought for a while, then stopped his steps to go to Jinshen Hall.

"Let's go and have a look."

"Boss, come with us!"

He suddenly became interested in taking a peek at the mid-month exam.Left and right also wanted to ask Lao Wu about something, so they went there by themselves, just to relax.

"Uh!" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, seeing that his father had already taken a step, he had no choice but to follow him awkwardly.

Brothers, it's not that my brother is unkind, it's that the incident happened suddenly, and it's too late to report...

wish you luck...

……

The mid-month exam is similar to the monthly exam for high school students in later generations.Generally, the exam is held on the first day of each month, which happens to be the same day as the imperial court.

Because the kings are of different ages and levels are also uneven, the mid-month exam adopts the method of on-site questions: the teacher will ask questions on the spot according to the academic progress of the students, and the students will answer on the spot.

There is no prize for the correct answer, but for the wrong answer, a certain number of rulers will be rewarded.

Usually, on this day, except for the crown prince and King Jin, the palms of other princes would be swollen.

When Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao arrived at Daben Hall, the servant at the door was about to kneel down, but Lao Zhu quickly waved his hand to signal him not to make any noise.

Then, with a slightly bent waist, he leaned towards the study lightly.

Seeing that his usually mighty and domineering father looked like a thief at this moment, Zhu Biao just felt amused for a while.But in this way, it's not easy for him to deliberately make a sound to remind his brothers, seeing that his father is still waving at him, so he has to follow his father's example and quietly pass by.

The father and son bent their backs and poked their heads through the window of the study.

It was the king of Qin, Zhu Xi, who was endorsing the book.Just listen to him stuttering and reciting: "The master said, three hundred poems, one sentence can sum it up in one sentence."

"Si Xie Wu!"

"Si Wuxie! Wuxie!" On the side, Jin Wang Zhu Yan reminded quietly.

"Ah, Si Wuxie!" Zhu Xi quickly changed his words, and then sat down happily as if he had passed the test.

"...Third Highness, don't remind me." On the podium, Song Lian said solemnly.Then he tapped Zhu Xi again: "Second Highness, please explain the meaning."

"Ah? Still have to explain?" Zhu Xi reluctantly stood up. "Uh, that, Confucius said..."

"This old guy is really good at talking. What are you talking about this time?"

It would kill him to memorize it, how could he understand the meaning?
"Oh." Song Lian shook his head in disappointment. "Xizhi, come here."

"Yes." Behind Song Lian, a young man in a Confucian shirt who was standing there took a step forward. He first bowed to the kings, and then said: "Zi said, three hundred poems, in a word, say, Think innocent."

"The meaning is that Confucius believed that the three hundred poems in the Book of Songs can be summed up in one sentence, which is 'no evil thoughts'."

"En." Song Lian stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.The young man bowed to Song Lian, then took a step back, his face was still humble, showing no sign of color.

"Second Highness." Song Lian walked up to Zhu Xi. "Your question is already very simple. In the future, you should review the Analects more."

"Right hand."

Old Master Song's status was respected, and Zhu Xi didn't dare to disobey, and stretched out his right hand timidly when he heard the words.

"Crack! Crack!" The sound of two ring rulers slapping meat was exceptionally crisp.

"Hey! This old man!" Lao Zhu, who was peeping outside, was unhappy.I wanted to roll up my sleeves on the spot. "Why did he hit my son again!"

"Father, father." Zhu Biao hastily pulled Lao Zhu back. "Teaching, there is no one who doesn't fight."

"This old man." Lao Zhu also knew the truth, but he still felt distressed after all, so he could only curse bitterly.

"Third Highness." Song Lian nodded to Zhu Yan. "What do you mean by 'investigating things to gain knowledge, respecting and keeping them'?"

Zhu's question is a bit more difficult than Zhu's.Zhu Li got up and finished answering, Song Lian said: "Your Highness said nothing wrong. But there are some omissions. Xi Zhi."

"Yes." The young man in Confucian shirt who was standing there took a step forward again, and after saluting, he said eloquently, "What His Royal Highness Jin Wang said is deeply passed down by Zhu Zi."

"However, Zhu Zi also said, 'The spirit of the human heart is full of knowledge, and all things in the world are rational. Only reason is endless, so their knowledge is endless.' It shows that people can only understand the principles of exhausting things. Only by extending knowledge can we consciously strengthen our own moral cultivation.”

"It's a little opinion, but I just laugh at you." After finishing speaking, he backed away.

Song Lian nodded and smiled, Zhu Yan's face was a little ugly, but he still said he was "teachable" and sat down.

He didn't even get a ruler.

But Zhu Di behind him couldn't escape. Song Lian also asked a question about the Analects of Confucius. Zhu Di stood up and stumbled, but the explanation was Zhu Su's "Yuanyu".

This made old man Song fly into a rage, and smacked Mr. Zhu's fourth and third boards, and only then did the young Confucian scholar named Xizhi come out.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark outside.Turning to Zhu Biao, he said, "What's the matter with your younger brothers? The limelight has been taken by that little Suanding."

"Our face is almost lost!"

"Uh." Zhu Biao could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile.

Next it was Zhu Wu's turn.Song Lian sat on the chair and panted for a while, consciously passed his breath, and then said: "Your Highness Fifth."

The air in the study fell into silence.No one answered.Books are piled high on Zhu Laowu's desk, and only his hair can be seen, but his face cannot be seen.

Song Lian was a little strange, raised his voice and said again: "Your Highness Fifth?"

"Fifth, fifth!" Zhu Xi whispered.

"Don't sleep! I'm calling you!"

He thought he was "quietly", but with his loud voice, even Lao Zhu at the door could hear him clearly.

There was a snickering sound from everyone in the study.

"Your Highness Fifth!" Song Lian knocked on the ruler angrily, using the ruler as a gavel.

"Ah!" Zhu Su woke up suddenly.Wipe the drool off your cheeks. "What's the matter? It's raining to collect clothes?"

"Hahahahaha." The snicker turned into a laugh.

Song Lian's old face darkened, and he was about to explode.The door was pushed open suddenly.Lao Zhu's face was darker than his, and he walked into the study with his hands behind his back.Zhu Biao followed behind him, giving his younger brothers a look of caution.

"Your Majesty!" Surprised, Song Lian quickly got up from his chair, and bowed together with the students and lords: "Your Majesty (father) bows to all blessings!"

"Get up!" Old Zhu said fiercely. "Fifth, come with us!"

"Ah? Alright!" Zhu Su was overjoyed, Daddy Cheap has something else to ask me?
Very good!Being able to play hookey happily again... Ahhh!Happily making plans for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

No matter what happens today, I have to finalize the matter of not going to Dahondo anymore!
As a time traveler, what are we doing every day in this nonsense about Zheye?

We are going to be a guiding light for the Ming Dynasty!
Old Zhu walked out angrily.Zhu Su, who just got up, was still blindfolded, didn't notice at all, and followed happily.

On the contrary, Zhu Biao looked troubled, and wanted to remind him a few words, but he couldn't speak out.

He had no choice but to follow with a constipated expression on his face.
