The system forced me to be emperor

Seeing Master Meng's displeasure, Jia Xu took a sip of tea calmly.

On Confucianism, I am not as good as you.

In terms of mind, you are not as good as me.

Sure enough, Master Meng took the bait and asked, "I wonder what His Majesty the Seventh Highness is asking for? I'm old and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

But Jia Xu said: "His Royal Highness Xian begs the master to agree to let a boy who is a slave be admitted to the hospital to study!"

"Huh?" Master Meng was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and asked, "Mr. Jia, what did you say?"

Jia Xu said again: "His Highness King Xian begged Master to agree to allow a boy who is a slave to study in the hospital!"

After a pause, Jia Xu gave him time to think, and then explained: "His Royal Highness Xian is also deeply ashamed for begging the Master for such a thing, but those who want to be slaves can be admitted to the hospital to study, and only the Master orders it." It's done."

Master Meng was both puzzled and curious. It turned out that the Seventh Highness didn't try to win him over, but just asked for a place in the school, or for a boy who was a slave. What twists and turns did it have?

"His Royal Highness King Xian is a prince with a noble status, why is he busy for a slave boy?" Master Meng couldn't help asking.

Jia Xu sighed, and asked back: "Master, a few days ago, His Highness was punished to kneel down in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was reprimanded by Emperor Xia and confined at home, did you hear?"

"I heard that His Highness the Seventh Highness left Beijing without permission to suppress the bandits." Naturally, Master Meng could not ignore the affairs outside the window, especially the royal affairs, which were the focus of public discussion.

Jia Xu said: "That's right, His Highness was punished because he left Beijing to suppress bandits, but the reason why he knelt for so long and was reprimanded by Emperor Xia and put him in confinement was because of other things."

After all, Jia Xu promised Xiao Rui to the criminal woman to take care of the bandit's son, and refused Emperor Xia's order, and did not hand over the bandit's son to Dongchang for disposal.

Meng Fuzi was a little moved: "His Royal Highness keeps his promise, neither humble nor overbearing, rare, rare!"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Although Your Highness knelt for more than four hours and was locked up for more than ten days, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Your Highness is also hoping to use the cultivation of Confucianism to be a teacher. Let him wash away his bandit spirit and establish a righteous character. In this way, he is worthy of His Highness's good intentions."

Master Meng was even more moved, and said: "Okay, the old man agrees to this matter, and the boy can be sent to study tomorrow. The old man promises that he will not be bullied. Your Highness is so caring, how can the old man refuse?"

Jia Xu immediately got up and bowed deeply, and said: "Master Su Wen is a good teacher in the world. There is no distinction between teaching and learning. When I saw you today, my reputation is well-deserved. His Royal Highness King Xian is really as good as a god, and cherishes each other with Master."

"Oh? What did your highness say?" Master Meng was led away and immediately asked curiously.

Jia Xu squinted her eyes, flashed shrewdness, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Xian said, Master Meng is a person who teaches and educates people sincerely, not for the pursuit of wealth and fame in the world. Your Highness said, Master, you will definitely agree to this matter, isn't it? For his sake, the son of a bandit also has the right to study."

"Haha... good, good..." Master Meng laughed loudly when he heard it: "King Xian has such an idea, and he really cherishes each other with this old man. If there is a chance, we must visit and communicate."

Jia Xu reached into his bosom, took out a scroll, and presented it to Master Meng with both hands, saying: "His Royal Highness Xian is very grateful for Master's help and trust, but presenting yellow and white things is too vulgar, and the calligraphy, painting and calligraphy are not in the master's eyes." , so His Highness personally wrote an article, and asked Master to give some ink for guidance."

"Oh? I want to appreciate it." Mengfuzi was overjoyed. Will the writing be bad even though the turtle lives long?

Chapter 78: Counterattack Step Two: The Arrival of Master Meng

Master Meng took the scroll presented by Jia Xu, and was very curious about the content of the article, so he quickly opened it to read.

The scroll slowly opened, and the inscription with two words came into view: "The Master said".

Meng Fuzi was overjoyed. Could it be that this article describes the teacher?Just to his liking.

Then, the first sentence of the article made him extremely excited and moved.

"Ancient scholars must have teachers. Teachers, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts."

"Okay, that's a good point! Point out the value of being a teacher!" Master Meng said happily: "Why did the old man refuse His Majesty's grace and start an academy? Preaching, receiving vocation, and solving doubts are my wish, and it is also my wish for all the masters in the world. original intention!"

He continued to browse, instantly intoxicated by the article.

"People are not born with knowledge, how can they be free from confusion? If you don't follow the teacher if you are confused, you are confused, and you will never understand..."

"Wow! It's been a long time since the teaching of the teacher has not been passed on! It's hard to want others to be without confusion..."

"The sage said: If three people walk together, there must be my teacher. Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple. There is a sequence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the arts, that's all."

In order to combine history, Xiao Rui slightly changed the article, but what remained unchanged was the essence of Han Yu's article.

Mencius murmured: "Students don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than students. There is a priority in learning the truth, and there is a specialization in art. That's all..."

When he read the emotion, his heartstrings were stirred, and he was so emotional that he could not restrain himself. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he said: "Everyone in the world is ashamed of learning from their teachers. This is a dross and bad habit. The biggest original intention of this old man to study is to change this attitude! Teacher!" If the Tao is established, there will be many good people, and if the teacher teaches the Tao, the etiquette will be promoted! At the level of learning, there should be no noble or cheap, no little and no long, and the sage is far away from others, and he still needs to be a teacher! Why can't the world see through it? ? Can’t see through it?”

"Keep one hand, break the inheritance."

"Fear that the waves behind will overwhelm the waves ahead, this is the dross!"

After being indignant, Mencius praised: "I didn't expect King Xian to have such insights at such a young age. It is commendable."

After finishing speaking, he carefully rolled up the scroll, as if he had found a treasure, and said to Jia Xu: "This article, I will treasure it carefully."

Jia Xu said happily: "If His Highness knew that Master loves him so much, he would definitely be very happy. Unfortunately, he is still in confinement, and His Majesty has not withdrawn his orders. He is also worried about affecting Master's reputation, so he cannot discuss it face to face with Master. This is a pity."

Master Meng nodded. He is also very curious about Xiao Rui now, and wants to meet such a talented person, so he said: "Why should I care about other people's guesses when I do things? Since His Highness can't come to the academy, how about I come to visit tomorrow?"

Jia Xu was overjoyed, stood up and bowed, and said: "On behalf of Your Highness, I would like to thank Master for your attention, and I will wait for you tomorrow!"

"Okay, it's scheduled for tomorrow!" Master Meng laughed.

Afterwards, Jia Xu and Master Meng agreed on a time, and then they left.

After leaving the Reading Academy, Jia Xu got into the carriage.

Wu Zhanfa, who was driving, quickly asked, "Mr. Jia, how is the matter going?"

"His Highness's teacher said it is a sharp weapon, and it will come naturally." Jia Xu smiled and said, "Master Meng will come to visit in person tomorrow. Act according to the previous plan, and we will return home quickly, and I will report to His Highness."

Wu Zhanfa drove back immediately.

Xiao Rui was waiting for the good news in the mansion, and when he saw Jia Xu came back with a smile on his face, he knew that the matter was settled.

"Your Highness, Master Meng will pay a visit tomorrow at Sishi." Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Then we will see the performance of the Inner Court Secretary tomorrow."

"Yeah, they act in their true colors, and they don't even need to act." Jia Xu joked.

Silent all night.

At Sishi the next day, Master Meng arrived as promised.

Xiao Rui walked up to the chariot and horses himself, and helped Master Meng out of the chariot.

Looking at Xiao Rui's appearance of talent, respecting the old and loving the young, his refined demeanor made Master Meng's recognition of him even more affirmative.

"Student Xiao Rui pays homage to Master." Xiao Rui bowed deeply and said respectfully.

Master Meng hurriedly helped Xiao Rui up, and said with a smile: "Old Zhesha, Your Highness is a prince, how can you do such a big gift to a mediocre man?"
