General, please be a loyal minister!

Zhao Ji can't do it.

Scratched my head all night.

The head is going to be bald.

When he went to the Young Master's Mansion the next day to study, he was still fighting with the homework that Han Zhao had left for him.

Question: "Yao and Shun abdicated", "Shun held dual purposes", "Wen Wang Yan Yi", "Wu Wang defeated Zhou", which embodies the virtue of the mean?

I do not know!

The question is so difficult, and so is he.

Just when Zhao Ji wanted to grab the ground with his head, Liu Xuan, who stood behind him and watched for a long time, said, "Your article is interesting."

Zhao Ji was startled, and turned to stare at Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan automatically ignored the repulsion in Zhao Ji's eyes, and said slowly, "The answer should be: Shun holds dual purposes."

Zhao Ji knew that Liu Xuan was more knowledgeable than himself, but subconsciously refused to listen to him, and asked back, "Why do you say that?"

Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "Because it is the longest, with five characters."

This joke earned Zhao Ji a supercilious look.

Liu Xuan coughed dryly, restrained his posture, and said solemnly:

"'Practice the two uses of the middle' comes from: 'holding its two ends and using it for the people, do you think it is Shun?' This sentence comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean". It describes the impartiality, compromise and harmony of the mean. road."

When Liu Xuan said this, Zhao Ji also remembered that there was indeed such a sentence in "The Doctrine of the Mean".

Although he memorized the full text by rote, he didn't know how to understand and apply it.

After being pointed out by Liu Xuan, Zhao Ji couldn't hold back his face, and muttered: "What kind of middle way, 'the way of counseling' is not bad."

Zhao Ji, who has an extreme temperament, does not agree with the doctrine of the mean, so he denounces it as useless in his heart. Liu Xuan does not agree with his statement:

"There is Tai Chi in Yi, and two forms are born; the two forms are yin and yang. Yin and yang are neutralized, and the heaven and earth are established, and all things are cultivated."

"The way of the mean integrates the heaven and the earth, and accepts the people's livelihood at the bottom. Its main purpose is not to fear the strong and retreat, but to suppress the strong and support the weak to maintain stability."

"If you say such a thing, it means that you haven't even understood half of it."

Zhao Ji was already annoyed that he was not as good as Liu Xuan, and when he heard him lecture him, he became even angrier, and replied, "It's none of your business whether you understand it or not?"

Liu Xuan said leisurely: "It's true that it's not about being alone, but what should someone do if they can't complete this set of exam questions?"

Zhao Ji's set of exam questions should have been written by Han Zhao, otherwise this kid wouldn't have taken it so seriously.

As early as the first time they met, Liu Xuan could see Zhao Ji's dependence and awe on Han Zhao, and using Han Zhao to suppress him was the most reliable and ruthless.

Sure enough, after carrying out Han Zhao and Zhao Ji, he no longer cared about chatting with Liu Xuan, and began to worry about how to complete this set of questions.

He didn't even understand the meaning of the original text of "The Doctrine of the Mean", and it was basically unrealistic to complete this set of exam questions by himself.

But he was not happy to beg Liu Xuan.

Normally Zhao Ji would not give in to Liu Xuan, not to mention that this person is still acting like he is waiting for Zhao Ji to beg him.

Zhao Ji curled his lips: "The master will come later, I will ask him for advice."

Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

He didn't think Master would be happy to guide Zhao Ji, after all, yesterday this kid offended him severely.

Sure enough, the master glanced at Zhao Ji's test paper and said with a straight face: "Everything will be covered in class, just listen carefully."

After Zhao Ji heard the words, he really listened to the class seriously.

But there is a price for making him pay attention to the lectures.

On this end, the Master had just finished speaking and Zhao Ji asked a question: "The Master said just now: a man of great virtue must have his position, salary, name, and longevity. But I believe that a person who has status, wealth, reputation, and longevity can be Promote his great virtues. And those who have no fame and longevity will not be remembered."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, the master stared and reprimanded: "Nonsense!"

Zhao Ji was unconvinced: "Why am I talking nonsense? Master tell me in detail!"

The master looked impatient: "The heart of a villain judges the virtue of a gentleman. In ancient times, there were countless poor and virtuous people. How can there be no one to remember?"

Zhao Ji caught the loophole in the Master's words, and asked back: "Then, if you have virtue, you may not be rich or prosperous?"

The master replied: "That is their virtue, can't they be called a great virtue?"

Zhao Ji asked again: "Then what is a great virtue? What is a small virtue? A person who is poor is a small virtue, and a noble is a great virtue. This kind of evaluation method is too snobbish..."

The master impatiently interrupted Zhao Ji's next words: "If you have little knowledge, go back and study more by yourself. Don't delay my class."

After being reprimanded, Zhao Ji fell silent.

He glanced coolly at the teacher who continued to give lectures, and the last bit of respect for this "sir" disappeared from his heart.

Having grown up in the marketplace, it was difficult for him to accept the views and arguments in these collections of scriptures with tolerance.

What he witnessed was the most authentic human nature, but these books all talked to him about virtues that transcended human nature.

So after Zhao Ji understood the meaning of these words, he felt that there was hypocrisy between the lines. Those who watched this lecture also felt that he had "false" written on his left face and "false" on his right face.

He taught "great virtue", but he didn't even have basic respect and patience for his students.

Zhao Ji was bored listening to the next class, but he still memorized the content.

Then he found that he still couldn't do many questions.

The knowledge points of many questions are in the content of yesterday's lecture, and the master will not explain it a second time.

After finishing his lecture, the master packed up his things and left.

Zhao Ji didn't even think about chasing after him, the master looked down on him, and he also looked down on this master, so don't make each other unhappy.

But if you can't do it, you still can't do it.

Zhao Ji stared at the test paper for a while, but couldn't even choose an option. He knew every word, but he didn't know what it meant when put together.

He threw the pen away in pain, covered his head and lay down on the table.

Feeling very depressed, this is the first time he has felt so defeated.

What Han Zhao told him was just such a small matter, but he couldn't do it well.

Annoyed, frustrated, angry...

An unknown fire ignited in Zhao Ji's chest, and for a moment, he even wanted to give up on himself.

Anyway, he is just an idiot, Han Zhaofei wants to use him to pack embroidered pillows to pretend to be something good.

But this idea only flashed for a moment before Zhao Ji dismissed it.

He didn't want to disappoint Han Zhao, let alone appear incompetent in front of Han Zhao.

And compared to this, being soft to Liu Xuan doesn't seem so unbearable.

"I can not do that."

Liu Xuan of Wen Shu had long been secretly paying attention to Zhao Ji's movements, and the faint sound of gnats did not escape his ears.

He turned around and confirmed to Zhao Ji: "What did you say?"

Zhao Ji glanced at him, turned his head, and refused to say another word.

How can you have such an attitude when asking for help?

Liu Xuan was a little helpless.

But his original intention was to ease the relationship between himself and Zhao Ji, so he no longer felt embarrassed, and reached out and patted the seat next to him lightly.

After finishing this action, Liu Xuan turned around and stopped looking at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji didn't open his mouth to beg him, and he didn't open his mouth to ask Zhao Ji, just to see Zhao Ji's smug face sticking close to him.

After waiting for a while, Liu Xuan's side sank——Zhao Ji sat over.

Liu Xuan is a good teacher, knowledgeable, good-natured, explaining profound things in simple terms, very transparent.

Zhao Ji is also a smart student, he can remember all the knowledge points by ear, and he can draw inferences from one instance, and discuss it back and forth with Liu Xuan.

If the master is not so rigid and stubborn, perhaps he will be able to spot the shining point in Zhao Ji's seemingly absurd argument.

Liu Xuan also benefited a lot from teaching Zhao Ji.

After one class, he couldn't help but "face up" to Zhao Ji a little more, instead of just trying to save Han Zhao's face.

After Liu Xuan finished yesterday's lesson, Zhao Ji started to complete the test questions independently.

This time he was favored by Liu Xuan, so it was really difficult to show any hostile attitude.

So he also intends to accept Liu Xuan's previous suggestion of "repairing" them, but one thing must be made clear:

"You don't want to take my master away."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xuan was stunned, he turned his head, and saw seriousness and seriousness in Zhao Ji's eyes looking at him.

Liu Xuan felt that he now understood the reason why Zhao Ji was hostile to him earlier.

"Do you think that asking Mr. Han to teach Gu is robbing your master?"

Liu Xuan couldn't help laughing at this kind of child who was afraid of being robbed of his favor, but at the same time he had to take it seriously.

Didn't he ever think about becoming Han Zhao's disciple?

Of course I thought about it.

Especially after seeing Han Zhao's preference for Zhao Ji.

But some things are not what he wants to be able to achieve.

Liu Xuan sighed: "Mr. Han is very handsome, and he is a strict teacher and loving father. Gu really wants to take him away."

As soon as this remark came out, as expected, Zhao Ji glared at each other.

Under Zhao Ji's angry eyes, Liu Xuan continued leisurely: "But do you think that the master-student bond can be taken away by others?"

"Gu is Mr. Han's student, and you are Mr. Han's disciple. Disciple and disciple are both apprentices and sons; do you understand the difference?" Although he was a little unwilling to say it, Liu Xuan looked at Zhao Ji in Fukuoka. I don't know how to be blessed, but I feel even more annoyed.

He was also rescued by Han Zhao, but Zhao Ji was able to get Han Zhao's wholehearted love. He begged repeatedly, but at most he got Han Zhao's sentence "If you can make it, I will help you".

Zhao Ji understood what Liu Xuan said, but he didn't feel safe about the relationship between himself and Han Zhao. He knew that Han Zhao loved him, but he didn't know that he had something worthy of Han Zhao's pain.

So he was afraid that someone would suddenly appear and take away Han Zhao's love for him.

Therefore, he intends to eliminate any competitors by any means.

"You can't even think about it in the future. If you can do it, I will be with you."

When Zhao Ji said this, his expression was firm. Compared with Zhou Yuan who always makes people feel "hypocritical", he prefers to be with the frank Liu Xuan.

This is exactly what Liu Xuan wanted.

"Gu will never steal your master again." Liu Xuan solemnly made this seemingly childish and ridiculous promise.

……

After struggling for a while, Zhao Ji finished the whole set of test papers, handed them to Liu Xuan for checking, and finally felt relieved.

Liu Xuan was very interested in this set of test questions, so he made a copy and kept it for research.

After Liu Xuan finished copying, he returned the original copy to Zhao Ji, and said with a smile: "In the future, if you don't understand anything else, feel free to ask Gu. When the next dynasty is restored, Gu will need a lot of talents to help Gu govern the country."

Zhao Ji took the test paper and curled his lips: "The horoscope for Guangfu hasn't been written yet. Even if you recover, you can't say whether your surname is Zhou or Liu."

This time he didn't intend to choke Liu Xuan, but he didn't hide his true thoughts after treating Liu Xuan as his own.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan's expression changed, and he said sharply, "Who told you this?"

Zhao Ji was taken aback for a moment, and answered truthfully: "No one told me."

Liu Xuan: "If you don't want to cause trouble, you can control your mouth. If something happens, others will not believe that it is your idea alone! Either it is Gu's instigation, or Mr. Han's instigation. Who do you want to suffer?"

Zhao Ji knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied with being reprimanded by Liu Xuan, and said stubbornly, "Who would know if you don't tell? If others know, it must be you who said it."

Liu Xuan laughed angrily: "You will frame me."

After the stubbornness, Zhao Ji's attitude softened in due course: "I have a sense of propriety, and I will never say this to anyone other than you and Master."

Liu Xuan sighed helplessly: "It's best not to say a lot of things."

Zhao Ji agreed: "Got it."

To be honest, Zhao Ji who knows how to listen to people's opinions is quite cute.

Two teenagers, one born in the market and familiar with people, the other born noble and well-read, but these differences did not increase the communication gap between them, but made them full of curiosity and interest in each other's life.

Once the chatterbox is opened, it cannot be closed.

When Han Zhao came, what he saw was the two sitting at the same table, chatting enthusiastically.

"The relationship is so good in two days?" Han Zhao stood at the door, full of doubts.

He remembered that Zhao Ji had never liked Liu Xuan very much. This kid thought he was hiding it well, but Han Zhao saw through it at a glance.

But why is it so good if we don't see each other in the morning?

Although Han Zhao wants them to get along well, isn't this a bit too fast?

1.0 expressed his understanding of this: [Boys, if they can play together, they are good brothers. 】

Han Zhao thought for a while, "That's right.
