Chapter 623: There is a jar to raise a dragon in Xijing City, and the diligent house and the king and his ministers reported it.
A few thoughtful people went deeper and asked the bottom of the matter. After learning the truth, they became more and more like a cloud of mist. This person was actually a native of Northern Liang. It was already surprising that the court had a prosperous Shinsanlang, but unexpectedly, this son’s reputation was even more than that. It should be noted that the advancement level of Jin Lanting is not very glorious. It is said that he first entered the officialdom of the capital with a letter of recommendation from Lao Liang, and later he squeezed into the public with an elegant play like Lanting. As a fellow villager of the Imperial College, he has a clean life experience and has a clear path to advancement. Even if he married a princess, there has never been any gossip about a husband being noble for his wife in recent years. Moreover, in the past few positions in the capital, whether it is the short-lived Huangmen Lang of the Hanlin Academy, the longest-time attendant of the Eastern Palace or the more short-lived living man, he is always a scholar quite close to the imperial family. I am afraid that even if he calls himself a death in Beiliang all over the street, no one wants to believe it.
He was a scholar from a poor family in the northern part of the country, Chen Wang. Of course, now the whole city of Beijing should respectfully call him “Shaobao Chen”.
Today is the diligent room, but at only three o’clock, the sky is still dark, so the sound of writing is already loud. The diligent room is divided into three rooms, upper, middle and lower. Generally, the lower room is in the lower room from the age of six to nine, the middle room from ten to fifteen, and the upper room is in the upper room from fifteen years old. Among them, the age classification of women is calculated separately. Only when the man and the woman are married and married, and the master is recognized by the teacher, can she drop out of school.
Today is Confucian Day. There is an elder in each of the three rooms quoting the classics of Confucian Saint Zhang, so the difficulty will naturally be different. Outside the lower room of the diligent room, there was a “young scholar” wearing a purple robe and a jade belt with imperial fat, looking at the young children who were shaking their heads and chanting the scriptures hard. According to the rules set by the late emperor, no sable hats and furs are allowed in the room. The same is true for the cold winter. At this time, there was only a small copper-skin stove in the room under the master’s case. Most of the children who were born with the same surname as the country were no different from those of poor children studying in private schools. Most of them had red cheeks and shivered. While the master was studying, they quickly lowered their heads and sipped the heat on their ten fingers that were frozen to the stiffness.
Outside the house, in addition to this scholar who was dressed in special clothes and was quite unfamiliar to ordinary people, there was also an old eunuch in the palace who was able to wear a big red python robe, standing outside carefully. The old eunuch was a little distracted and did not notice the arrival of the scholar. It’s no wonder that he said he had to stare at the Qinming Room to prevent accidents, but he had been standing there for more than ten years, and his robes had been replaced. After more than ten years, the palace affairs were already strict, so there was no accident. No matter how the Zhao family’s children who acted arrogantly outside after they walked out from here, when they were studying, who would not stand respectfully like him, and they sat there obediently studying and memorizing the book even if they were famous princes and princesses like Zhao Wu and Zhao Fengya, as long as they entered the Qinming Room, they would be like to be a human being.
The old eunuch looked outside the house, and it was after winter began in the yard.A big red lantern was hung on the branches. He sighed quietly, and heard that it was not peaceful outside. The remnants of Guangling Road found a little girl named Jiang from somewhere and said that they would restore the country. This made many old guys in the palace who escaped from the Western Chu Palace nowadays. When they were free, they didn’t even dare to drink a few sips of wine, saying that they were afraid that they would be mistaken for being depressed and drown their sorrows. It seemed that the big and small barbarians in the west were not calm. The big barbarian Beimang wanted to make trouble, and the little barbarian Beiliang also followed suit. He has seen some storms in his life, but he just can’t understand how these guys are doing well. But he has to do something nonsense. Even the Prime Minister is obsessed with it. You said that you are not as old as a eunuch, but you have already become so old. Why are you not satisfied? Isn’t it obvious that this is a way to die? The old eunuch thinks of the hasty in the yard for no reason and can’t help but sigh, thinking that Master Master, this life is not those plants and trees. It will be gone this winter and will be there again next spring.
At this time, a short figure appeared outside the courtyard and trotted in with a cat waist. As a result, when he saw the old eunuch who looked like a door god, he immediately felt like he was lost. The old man only dared to smile in his heart. This little guy is the grandson of Prince Feng, not the eldest son of the eldest son, but he is also very doting. However, this child has always been a bad guy in the lower house. After all, Prince Feng’s title is quite scary outside the palace, but no one here takes it seriously. In addition, the little guy is weak and has a soft temperament. He is bullied all day long and dares not go home to complain to his elders. Even if he changes into a pair of festive new boots, he will be immediately stepped on by those naughty eggs. The old eunuch has seen this kid hiding under the wall of the yard and crying. Looking at the child’s sickly pale face and his pitiful look of covering his mouth and not daring to cough, although the elderly eunuch felt a little distressed, the rules set by the late emperor, how could he, a eunuch, dared not violate the bamboo punishment once, and he was reduced twice, and then he surrendered again three times until he had no titles to surrender and was directly expelled from the diligent room. About ten years ago, at the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, there was a lawless old prince who was the eldest grandson of the lawless prince who was directly demoted to a commoner. You must know that the prince and the late emperor were brothers of their compatriots, and they were also the uncles of today’s son!
The old eunuch stopped the sweaty grandson of Prince Feng and said with a cold face: “If our family remembers correctly, this is the second time you are late. Go in first, our family will record it and hand it over to the clan mansion.”
The child coughed and said intermittently: “Grandpa Liu, I was really late on purpose… I, I have a cold…”
The old eunuch waved his hand, not willing to listen to the child’s defense at all. The emperor’s family matters are all big and small. This is the reason why the seniors in the palace taught the younger generation with countless bloody facts. He is just a slave, why bother with his own troubles
At this moment, the old eunuch noticed a dazzling purple color beside him. He was even more surprised. After returning to his senses, he was about to salute, but the man smiled and shook his head. The old man who was already the eunuch in the palace could only bend down. The scholar with purple robe and jade belt walked to old ageNext to the person, he grabbed the cold little hand of the child who dared not cry, and then used a little force to spread his five fingers, and found that he had coughed up blood. The scholar looked at the child with tears in his eyes, smiled gently, touched his head, and said nothing, and took his other hand and crossed the threshold of the lower room. The person who was talking about reading in the house was a literary celebrity from an old Hanlin. He glanced at the scholar’s robe and then at the late boy, showing displeasure. But the literary giant was far away from the right and wrong in the officialdom. After all, he was still a little afraid of the deep meaning of the purple robe. He stopped reciting, reached out to hold a bamboo whip from the desk, and said to the child with a stern face, “Zhao Li, stretch out your hand.”
The child was about to go forward to accept the punishment, but the thirty-year-old scholar said warmly: “Han Tao reads, Zhao Li is not bad at night, but has a cold wind. Even at a young age, he coughed up blood and insisted on entering the room to study. After all, it is understandable that the title of the clan mansion is inevitable, but can this bamboo punishment be exempted?”
The old scholar snorted coldly, “What’s the decent form to avoid bamboo punishment!”
The scholar still smiled faintly and said, “The law is nothing more than human feelings.”
The old scholar glanced at the young man who “the latecomer is far away” and sneered, “Which law, emotion, reason, which is bigger and smaller, even the Grand Priest of Qi Jiu dared to speak nonsense, and I don’t know where Master Shaobao came from.”
Chen Wang, who was destined to be the first Master Shaobao in the Xiangfu period, said calmly, “I have learned myself and have no teacher. But Chen Wang personally thought that the principles of the world are not divided into different sizes as long as it is the Confucian Saint Zhang, the emperors and ministers, and the peddlers and barracks said.”
The Lord Han sneered, “Then Han should ask more questions. This is a truth that anyone can say, and who can prove its truth by himself?”
Chen Wang laughed softly and said, “It’s nothing more than the four words ‘conscience of heaven and earth’. Heaven is fair, the earth is compassionate, and the two are not wrong. Who can be without mistakes and ruthlessness? People are not beasts, how can they lose their compassion?”
