Outside the pavilion, a row of palace ladies stood beside Bai Song.
Everyone was very serious and seemed to be listening to what Bai Song said.
Maybe they are responsible for delivering a message to the emperor who is hiding somewhere.
Bai Song calmed down and started his first lesson as a teacher.
In front of us are some children who have just finished elementary school. The learning content starts from the fourth uncle's recitation and begins to learn and understand the content in the book.
Bai Song made a temporary change today, opened "Mencius" and randomly selected an excerpt from it.
On the first day, he wanted to test the basic skills of these students.
I flipped through it at random and found an article about Jun Ziyuan Chef.
Isn't this the same episode that he and his junior sister, Miss Qin, were arguing about?
Perhaps this is fate, Bai Song read the article, behind the harmonious sound of reading.
Bai Song started to ask his own questions.
"Chengqian."
"Sir." The little prince stood up obediently.
"Can you learn this article?"
"I've learned it a long time ago."
"Can you recite it?"
Li Chengqian recited it without any hesitation.
In the small room, I thought the palace maid had come in and whispered: "Your Majesty, Sir, I was testing the prince's article in Mencius. Your Highness recited it word for word. Sir, I was even frightened. Seeing the surprised look in your eyes, you must not have expected that."
Our prince is so powerful."
Li Shimin stroked his beard after hearing this and was very satisfied.
The boy who wrote the song "Shui Tiao Song Tou" was also surprised by his own son one day, which makes me feel happy just thinking about it.
Bai Song was indeed a little surprised, and then asked Junzi what he meant by being away from the chef.
Li Chengqian's answer was not as in-depth as the older literati of the Qin family, and still stayed at the point that men should not cook.
What happened next was not very surprising.
What Bai Song said was nothing more than combining the meaning of the sentence with the context and telling the prince a higher level of understanding.
As a wise king, you should stay away from killing, be benevolent and righteous, and sympathize with the weak. This is the true meaning of a gentleman staying away from the kitchen.
That's all Bai Song wanted to talk about, and he didn't want to explain more just to make a point.
He believed that the emperor would like to hear such an interpretation.
In today’s lecture, I don’t seek merit, but I seek no faults.
But when Bai Song wanted to turn to the article to find the next question, Li Chengqian did not sit down. Instead, he asked: "Sir, when King Qi Xuan couldn't bear to see the cow die, why didn't he feel cruel when he was replaced by a sheep? Cow's
Life is life, but the sheep’s life is not life?”
A group of children were very happy when they heard this question.
Bai Song was not their first teacher, they all had experience in elementary education.
When they were in elementary school, their teachers all taught this article, and what they taught was not much different from that of the Bai Song Dynasty.
It wasn't that Li Chengqian didn't understand this sentence, but he wanted to raise his second question.
The teacher tests the students, and the students test the teacher.
This question has stumped many teachers.
Whenever my husband encounters this problem, he either hesitates and doesn't know what to say, or he suddenly gets angry and changes the subject.
No matter what others think, this group of children simply believe that as long as they can answer this question, they are truly capable.
Bai Song was a little hesitant. Would it arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction to speak nonsense and question the saint on such an occasion?
When Li Chengqian saw that his husband was silent, he put on a more sincere look: "Sir, the student is really confused. Please clarify my confusion."
"Sages are also human beings, and they are also afraid of power. In front of King Xuan of Qi, Mencius had no choice but to say a flattering word in order to protect himself, but it was misrepresented and misunderstood by later generations. This is the shortcoming of this article. It makes a gentleman
There have been many misunderstandings in the sentence "Yuan Chef". As the future prince, the prince will definitely encounter situations similar to King Xuan of Qi in the future, and perhaps there will be capable ministers like Mencius to advise you. With Mencius's reputation,
Even if you are not afraid of power. The prince is in a high position, who else in the world dares to tell the truth to you face to face?
To others, this article is just a simple article that invites people to do good. But to the prince, it is to ask the prince to always remember to reflect on himself. With so many lies and flattery surrounding the prince, how can he get rid of the lies?
Finding the true meaning is the way to behave as a wise king."
"..." Li Chengqian was stunned, not expecting to get such an answer from his husband.
When people analyze this article, they all analyze it from the perspective of Meng Shengren.
Only this gentleman told the prince everything he would face in the future from the perspective of King Qi Xuan.
For Li Chengqian, this is more appropriate and more empathetic.
At a young age, Li Chengqian has already realized that everyone around him smiles with him, and what he hears is always good things. No matter what he does, bad things will be downplayed and good things will be praised.
Li Chengqian didn't like this feeling. This feeling of being admired by the stars was not real at all.
The gentleman's words directly touched his heart.
Seeing that Li Chengqian was deep in thought, Bai Song continued: "The world will not tell the truth to the prince, but the teacher will tell the truth, because the prince is my student. In the future study, it is inevitable that the teacher will be harshly criticized. If
It makes the prince feel unhappy. Please remember this saying: 'A gentleman stays away from the cook'."
Li Chengqian was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his husband.
"Students should be a wise king and ask their husbands to supervise and discipline them. If they do something wrong, please punish them and they will be grateful."
Several people in the hut couldn't sit still and quietly walked out of the room and stood at the door, watching from a distance.
This scene actually moved the queen a little, and her eyes were moist when she saw that Cheng Qian was so sensible.
The teacher-student pair was so harmonious at this moment, and Li Shimin nodded happily.
"Your Majesty, are you still worried?"
Li Shimin smiled: "Queen, you are right. Bai Song is the most suitable person to be a young master."
Princess Danyang frowned and remained silent.
At the end of the day's teaching, Bai Song did not see the emperor.
I am not sure whether the content of my lecture was known to the emperor.
The little palace maid came to see him off again, and Bai Song took the opportunity to thank him again.
Without any more words, Bai Song left the East Palace.
…
Returning to the Prince Consort's Mansion, guests came to the house.
And this guest is a bit surprising.
It was actually Li Jing who came.
Li Jing has not appeared since Shu Wang married into the Prince Consort's Mansion.
Li Jing came today, which made Shu Wang cry for a long time.
That day, Li Jing stayed for a meal before leaving.
He didn't say much to Bai Song during the dinner, but he didn't show much dissatisfaction either.
All in all, everything was peaceful.
Bai Song didn't know what this meant, maybe it was because he was a little unclear about the matter.
The princess smiled and woke up Bai Song.
"The current prince-in-law can be regarded as a popular person in Chang'an City. His status as a young master is much more envied than that of a prince-in-law. In the future, there will be many people in the court who want to curry favor with their husband."
