Lu Xuan received the news from his attendants that Zheng Xuan was visiting, and came to the hall to receive him in person. When Zheng Xuan entered and sat down, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng came to Prince Wu's Mansion today, what do you want?"
Zheng Xuan, wearing a gray robe, bowed and said: "I want to report back to King Wu, there are two things."
Lu Xuandao: "Mr. Zheng, please speak."
Zheng Xuan said with a serious smile: "The first thing is related to the Crown Prince of Wu."
Lu Xuan frowned slightly, suddenly feeling like he was being visited at home, and he was inexplicably panicked. Even though he was the King of Wu, he always lacked confidence when facing his son's teacher.
The smile on Lu Xuan's face became softer and softer, and he asked: "Is there anything wrong with Yu'er?"
Zheng Xuan replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, the prince is very talented and has a photographic memory. He is a talented person in the rough. There is no problem."
call!!
Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At any rate, I am not asking the parents to accuse me.
Lu Xuan's expression became softer, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said humbly: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. This boy Yu'er is naughty and naughty. He likes luxurious clothes and walking dogs. I heard from his mother and concubine that he was in the Five Classics
In the library, I often cause trouble to you gentlemen."
Zheng Xuan said humbly: "It is normal for children to be naughty. If a child is serious, he is not a child."
Lu Xuan praised: "Mr. Zheng's words are reasonable."
Zheng Xuan further said: "The prince and Xiaotong are about the same age, almost four years old. Although they are still a little ignorant at this age, they can still communicate with adults. Therefore, at this age, they can be further taught."
"For example, every mountain, every river, and every ancient city has corresponding allusions. The customs and customs of every place are worthy of attention and worthy of children's understanding."
"People eat whole grains, but we also need to understand where the whole grains come from and how the people in the place live."
"Otherwise, you know nothing."
Speaking of this, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but sigh and said: "I am old, already in my early seventies. Life is rare in the past seventy years. At my age, the loess has buried my neck up to my neck. I don't know if I can live again.
several years."
"Perhaps I will die early tomorrow morning."
"That's impossible to say."
"Actually, if you wait a few years, when the prince and Xiaotong are seven or eight years old, it would be most appropriate for me to take them out for travel. However, I am worried that I will not survive that day, so I take them out earlier."
"Although the children are smaller, they are cared for and protected by servants, so there is no impact. While I am in good spirits now, I would like to take the prince and Xiaotong to visit the famous mountains and rivers of Wu State and take a look."
Lu Xuan frowned slightly.
He has not interfered too much in Lu Yu's education because the child is not very old.
It is a good thing that Zheng Xuan wants to take him out for travel.
It's just that the child is not very old and he is always around, but there is always a trace of reluctance to let him go.
Zheng Xuan glanced at Lu Xuan, ignored Lu Xuan's thoughts, and further said: "The prince worships me as his teacher. He is my disciple. As a teacher, he should not only teach and teach, but also let his disciples know what is happening and why.
"
"Traveling to places is a must."
"Only after reading it can you understand the way of the world, only then can you understand the sufferings of the people, and only then can you understand that life is not easy."
"If the prince has not become a disciple, I will not bring it up. Now that he has become a disciple, and the prince is the heir to the Kingdom of Wu, it is even more different. It is even more important to understand the local customs and customs."
"In general, I will spend two or three years outside, maybe a little longer. Because I will stay in each place and experience different customs and local conditions."
Speaking of this, Zheng Xuan solemnly said: "Whether you agree to the prince's travel depends on the king's decision. If the king agrees, after next spring, I will take the prince and Xiaotong to travel. If you don't agree, then give up.
I will take the little one out."
Lu Xuan said directly: "Since Yu'er has been entrusted to Duke Zheng to teach me, of course I trust Duke Zheng and rely entirely on Duke Zheng's arrangements. Lu Xuan is grateful to Duke Zheng for his hard work."
What Zheng Xuan did was for the sake of his children.
At a young age, it is an opportunity for the children to be willing to go out and provide guidance for the two children.
Zheng Xuandao: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Zheng is being humble. In fact, it's my turn to thank you."
Zheng Xuan continued: "The second thing I came here for is for the scholars of the Five Classics Hall. It has been almost three years since the first batch of scholars enrolled in the Five Classics Hall have completed their examinations."
"All the first batch of poor scholars who have entered the school have finished their studies at the Five Classics Hall. It's up to your Majesty to decide what to do next. The list of assessments is here. Please read it."
He took out the book and handed it over.
Lu Xuan took it, opened it and browsed it quickly, and saw the ranking in the letter.
The one who topped the list was Zhuge Liang.
The second is Bu Zhao, and the third is Xu Sheng.
Lu Xuan had some impressions of Bu Zhi and Xu Sheng. One was a civil servant of Wu State, and the other was a minister of Jiang Biaohu. They were both capable people.
Historically, Bu Zhi and Xu Sheng were both people who took refuge in Jiangdong and had a difficult time at the beginning. Now, because Lu Xuan established the Five Classics Museum, Bu Zhi and Xu Sheng entered the study and began to stand out.
Lu Xuan glanced at the other subsequent rankings and was not impressed.
After Lu Xuan read it, a look of approval appeared on his face and he said, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng."
Zheng Xuan said humbly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. I have a suggestion for the scholars in the Five Classics Hall."
Lu Xuan said: "Mr. Zheng, please speak."
Zheng Xuan said: "When the Five Classics Hall was established, the king announced the establishment of Qionglin Garden in front of the scholars, and set up a Qionglin banquet to reward the top three scholars. I thought for a while, whether the number of places was too small, and could the top ten be allowed to do so?
Participate?"
"These people who have passed the examination have good abilities. The top ten people will have no problem serving as county captains and county magistrates. Therefore, the king needs to meet more people and understand their thoughts to avoid missing talents."
Lu Xuan thought about it. The talent selection for the Five Classics Hall has just begun and has not yet formed a large scale.
At this time, there is no need to hold any imperial examination.
Can be arranged in the future.
However, the Qionglin Banquet and the inspection and understanding at the banquet are still needed.
Lu Xuan nodded directly and said: "According to Zheng Gong's arrangement, I summoned the top ten people to the banquet. In addition, for all those who passed the assessment, I will notify the staff to arrange for them to go to local posts. Those outside the top ten will
People basically start from petty officials. As for the top ten people, if they are arranged separately, most of them are county lieutenants and county magistrates, and there must be people who directly serve as county magistrates."
"Great King Shengming!"
Zheng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Zheng, starting from this year, the Five Classics Museum will be assessed every year and people will be arranged to take up local posts. The operation of the Five Classics Museum will be very important next. Zheng Gong will travel to places after spring.
Who will be in charge of the Five Classics Hall?"
"Pang Degong is the most suitable!"
Zheng Xuan answered without hesitation and said: "When it comes to knowledge, Guan Ning and Bing Yuan are more suitable. However, Pang Degong is not only good in academic attainments, but the key is good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. This is what the Five Classics Museum needs most. He is the most suitable to take charge of affairs."
"
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "That's it."
He thought for a while and said: "The list of candidates for the assessment has been decided. Duke Zheng will go back and inform that tomorrow morning, I will set up a Qionglin Banquet in Qionglin Garden next to the palace and give it to the top ten people."
"The Great Confucians will attend the Five Classics Hall. Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Wang Lie and others will all come. As for Liu Biao and others who have gone to the Five Classics Hall, they can also come to participate."
"In addition, tomorrow morning, I will arrange a carriage to pick you up."
"It's their glory."
"It is also the honor of teachers at the Five Classics Hall."
Lu Xuan attaches great importance to the famous scholars and scholars in the Five Classics Hall. These people are the key to teaching the future talents of the Wu Kingdom.
Zheng Xuan had a happy smile on his face, stood up and said, "I will go back to the Five Classics Hall immediately to make arrangements."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zheng."
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.
Zheng Xuan stood up to say goodbye and headed towards the Five Classics Hall.
Lu Xuan thought about Lu Yu and the Qiong Lin Banquet, so he first arranged for Lu Xun to transform the courtyard next to the palace into Qiong Lin Garden to prepare for the Qiong Lin Banquet tomorrow. Then, Lu Xuan went to the backyard and told Lu Yu about traveling with Zheng Xuan.
.
Da Qiao was reluctant to give up, but agreed very much.
She has been worried that Lu Yu is naughty. After next spring, Lu Yu will travel with Zheng Xuan. This is the best training.
