Chang'an Youth Tour

Chapter 8 Punishment of Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan

Xiao Xu led a group of people to the imperial study room. He lost his temper early in the morning, and everyone was a little trembling. All he said was that idiot Junyu was still absent-minded, staring at the trees on the road. Knowing what he was looking at again, Xiao Xu became angrier the more he looked at it, and when he arrived at the imperial study room, he was already ready to go.

However, the master who came this time is also sloppy, now several adult princes are out of the palace, and there is only one prince left in the palace. Trembling, Xiao Xu was impatient to hear something about "Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan" on it. He turned his head and saw that Yan Junyu was actually listening carefully.

Xiao Xu knew about his story a long time ago, saying that his grandmother spent 800 taels of silver to send it in, so he had to learn some skills in the palace, but his foundation was very poor, and his writing was like a dog crawling. It's also half-understood.

This gentleman doesn't know how to teach at all, he is long-winded and clichéd, but he still listens carefully. If he listens to himself half as seriously as usual, I won't be angry with him.

Xiao Xu was thinking about it, but the gentleman wanted to point him out: "Seventh prince, please have a discussion on the topic of the old minister."

Xiao Xu lazily stood up: "What topic?"

The master didn't expect him to be too lazy to cover up his desertion, so he had to repeat it, saying: "Today's topic is 'It's hard to run away without saying anything', please set an example for the princes."

Zheng Boke, Duan Yuyan, and the royal family's descendants have read it badly, but it is a story of brothers fighting each other for power. It is told every year and from generation to generation, just to warn the princes not to fight.The Great Zhou Dynasty used imperial examinations to select scholars. Every year, the topic was selected from the Four Books and Five Classics. The difficulty was how to solve the problem. The master asked him to get up because he knew that the Seventh Prince was the most talented, and let him demonstrate.

But Xiao Xu is the most disobedient person, and he has the heart to show off in front of Yan Junyu, let him see that this master is just a rotten scholar, so he lazily said: "The book says: 'Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan.' Brother Duan , so I don’t talk about younger brother; like the two emperors, so I call it Ke; I call Zheng Bo, and I ridicule the failure to teach; I call him Zheng Zhi. It’s difficult not to talk about running away.’”

"That's right." The master knew that although the seventh prince had an arrogant personality, he had a solid foundation and was the most memorable, so he nodded in approval and said, "Uncle Zheng didn't fulfill his brother's duties, and he didn't discipline properly, so that uncle Duan's ambitions swelled. Gongshu Duan also failed to fulfill his duty as a younger brother, trying to kill his brother to seize the throne, and in the end both of them became the objects of ridicule in the history books.

The princes all nodded in agreement, but they heard Xiao Xu say indifferently: "Master, I haven't finished yet."

The master was surprised: "What else does the Seventh Prince have to say?"

"I don't think Zheng Bo is out of education at all. From the very beginning, he never thought of raising Gongshu Duan. To condone him is to have a reason to kill him. The final outcome is exactly what he wants. This is manipulating people's hearts. The emperor's art is just a pedantic scholar of later generations, guessing him with a normal heart."

The master was stunned, and said in surprise: "Who taught this to the Seventh Prince?"

"You don't need to be taught, it's in the book." Xiao Xu said calmly: "On Zuo Zhuan, when Uncle Zheng indulged Gongshu Duan, the doctor Ji Zhong persuaded him. Gudaizhi', when Gong Shuduan finally rebelled, he couldn't wait to say, "Yes!" After killing Gongshu Duan and meeting Jiang's underground, Zheng Bo also wrote poems, one killed his younger brother, one How happy is it to lose one's mother? Mrs. Jiang is only afraid, while Uncle Zheng is content..."

"Nonsense!" The master was so angry that his beard trembled, and seeing Xiao Xu's calm expression, he shouted angrily, "Who is studying with the Seventh Prince!"

Yan Junyu stood up very skillfully.

The prince has a noble status and cannot be punished, so once he makes a mistake, it is the companions who will be punished. Originally, Xiao Xu is the smartest among the princes, and he is rarely punished, but he used to be beaten for Yan Junyu Yan Junyu was already used to provoking Mr. Xiao on purpose, anyway, he had already played hands with Xiao Xu five times, and it would be okay to do it one more time.

But this time the master was really angry.

"Get out! Go kneel in the courtyard, and you are not allowed to get up until get out of class is over."

Everyone in the study room was startled. This master was originally an old gentleman from the Imperial Academy. He has been teaching for two years, and this is the first time he has lost his temper. The prince has a noble status. In the past, his companions were beaten at most. Kneeling as punishment was the first time.

Xiao Xu was unhappy, frowned, and just about to make a fuss, Yan Junyu had already obediently walked out, looking at him, he didn't understand why Xiao Xu was arguing with the master, and why the master lost his temper so much. up.

Xiao Xu's expression turned cold.

"Master, it's just an argument..."

"Some people in this world are offended by their words. The Seventh Prince has a noble status, so he should be more cautious in his words and deeds. Don't make such treacherous and rebellious words. I hope that the Seventh Prince will be careful in his words in the future." The master's white beard trembled, heartbroken, staring at Xiao Xu's eyes were serious and he said: "I will understand what is going on today, so that no one will misrepresent it. If the Seventh Prince still argues, all my painstaking efforts will be in vain."

Although this master is pedantic, he really appreciates Xiao Xu, and he has always praised him more, otherwise Xiao Xu would not have become more and more arrogant, leading to today's controversy.

When he carried the emperor out, Xiao Xu knew that it would be useless to fight any longer, so he could only bow his head for the time being.In fact, he still feels that his master is pedantic. The current sage, Qingde, is old and has the most gentle and loving personality, especially he is very conniving towards Xiao Xu. Half of Xiao Xu's temper today is due to him.

Xiao Xu sat down unwillingly, and looked at the door, Yan Junyu had long since left.Yong Jianian thought he did it on purpose, and when his master lowered his head and smiled at him, Xiao Xu gave him a hard look, and quickly stopped talking.
