Chapter 35: Half of the Analects Rules the World
Among them, cultural learning is the focus in the former, and simple learning is in the latter.
That is to say, Shi Miyuan hopes that he will learn more about culture, other military systems, and laws. You can learn a little bit about it in the future. The main responsibility is to be left to the veterans.
Zhao Yurui took a look and saw that every day was full of schedules. Only having dinner was his private time. In this way, Zheng Qingzhi also arranged to take assessments at any time in the evening.
At this time, he was in the hall of Minde Hall. He turned to the left and entered a study room. To the south of the study room was the bedroom.
Xu and Xiaotao are making the bed inside.
Zhao and Rui arranged for them to take turns sleeping in a room opposite him, and the two women were making extravagant preparations.
"Sister Xu." Zhao Yurui said loudly.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly ran out: "King Yi."
"Who is on duty today?"
"Professor Zheng Qingzhi."
"Call him over."
"Yes."
Zheng Qingzhi and Li Zongmian took turns to be on duty, living in the Wei Palace and responsible for the education of King Yi. Today is Zheng Qingzhi's turn.
Not long after, Zheng Qingzhi hurried over.
"Meet King Yi."
"Professor Zheng, please take a seat, Mrs. Xu will serve tea."
"Thank you, King Yi." Zheng Qingzhi sat down politely.
Zheng Qingzhi is already in his forties. Historically, he took over as the right prime minister and privy envoy after Shi Miyuan's death. He is Shi Miyuan's die-hard ally and confidant, but his character is much stronger than Shi Miyuan's.
Later generations also called it: not innovative and not selfish; also called: the Qing Dynasty was in power and quoted a lot of righteous people.
It can be seen that Zheng Qingzhi is still a famous prime minister and a Qing minister, but Zhao Yurui doesn't know about it.
In his mind, he already regarded Zheng Qingzhi as one of Shi Miyuan's group, so he was naturally more cautious.
When Zheng Qingzhi sat down, Zhao Yurui asked: "I don't need to go to court?"
Zheng Qingzhi smiled and said: "King Yi is just a title, King Yi has no official position."
"According to the Song Dynasty system, as long as you have an official position, even if you are seventh grade, you can go to court."
In the Southern Song Dynasty, civil servants of the seventh rank or above could go to court to see the Holy Spirit. Seventh-rank military attaches were senior officials, and military attaches of the fifth rank could go to court.
"Oh, that's it." Zhao Yurui thought, just right, I don't want to go to court yet.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Qingzhi said: "The imperial court has stipulated that people should advance to their posts in succession. It is estimated that next year, your majesty will grant King Yi the honorary post of military envoy, and he will go to court by then."
"Of course, after being awarded the title of Jiedu Envoy, the monthly salary will be increased by 400 guan, as well as several other materials."
In one year at the latest, Zhao and Rui will also go to court.
But what Zhao Yurui is thinking about is to strive for outsourcing next year at the latest.
It would be better if he could be assigned to the Qingyuan Mansion (Ningbo) as the top military and political leader.
After all, that is the territory of King Wei, and it can also be regarded as one of his hometowns.
He doesn't want to be monitored by Shi Miyuan in the capital.
Zhao Yurui continued: "I think Professor Zheng's arrangement is slightly inappropriate."
Zheng Qingzhi was not surprised. After all, he knew that Zhao Yurui was not very studious: "Does King Yi think there are too many arrangements? You can delete some. This was originally discussed with King Yi."
Zhao Yurui was immediately overjoyed and stood up and picked up the brush from the side.
Mrs. Xu, who was standing behind him, quickly stepped forward to study the ink.
Zheng Qingzhi looked at Xu strangely.
It seems strange that King Yi is accompanied by such an older woman.
Zheng Qingzhi was Shi Miyuan's confidant, so he naturally knew that Zhao and Rui were in Shaoxing and had a conflict over a widow. He didn't expect King Yi to be so nostalgic that he would take the widow with him.
He thought about finding an opportunity to remind King Xia Yi that it was okay to have maids around him, but it was best not to have such an old widow.
But Zheng Qingzhi also had to admit that Xu was still very interesting, and even he couldn't help but take a few glances.
Just when Zheng Qingzhi was thinking wildly, Zhao Yurui was scratching with a brush: "I don't want this, I don't want this, I don't want this, okay - Professor Zheng, take a look."
Zheng Qingzhi stepped forward and took a look, almost breathless.
In addition to morning reading, Zhao Yurui almost finished their morning reading, leaving only one Analects class, which lasted about half an hour.
In the afternoon, it was all gone.
There is only one class throughout the day, which lasts about half an hour.
Brush, Zheng Qingzhi's face instantly turned red, feeling embarrassed and angry.
"King Yi." He shouted angrily.
"I am fifteen years old this year." Zhao Yurui slowly put down his brush at this time: "Does Professor Zheng think that I can become a sage by learning so much every day?"
Zheng Qingzhi said: "When we study the books of sages, we can not only improve our talents and increase our knowledge, but also recuperate our health and temper our minds. As a royal family member, King Yi--"
"I think you only need to learn one Analects of Confucius, and there is no need to learn the others for now." Zhao Yurui interrupted him directly.
"The Analects of Confucius is not enough." Zheng Qingzhi said loudly.
"One Analects is enough." Zhao and Rui Xiao asked: "Does Professor Zheng know the questions and answers between Taizong and Zhao Pu back then?"
Zheng Qingzhi: ".." His expression condensed.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu was still the prime minister. Some people were not convinced by him, so they told Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty that Zhao Pu had little knowledge and only read the Analects, a Confucian classic, and was not suitable to be a prime minister.
So Song Taizong asked Zhao Pu: "Some people say that you have only read one copy of "The Analects of Confucius". Is this true?"
Zhao Pu replied honestly: "What I know does not exceed the Analects. In the past, I used half of the Analects to help Taizu pacify the world. Now I use half of the Analects to assist your majesty, and the world is peaceful."
”
Later, Zhao Pu died of illness, and his family opened his book box, and it turned out that there were only twenty chapters of "The Analects of Confucius" in it.
The phrase "half the Analects of Confucius rules the world" also originated from Zhao Pu.
As a great scholar, Zheng Qingzhi certainly knew about this period of history. As soon as Zhao Yurui told it, he was stunned and thought for a long time, not knowing how to refute it.
You can’t say that I, Zheng Qingzhi, am better than Zhao Pu, right? You can’t say that Taizong is wrong, right?
"This, this, this---" Zheng Qingzhi looked depressed and was speechless when Zhao Yurui said it.
"But you can't just study for half an hour every day?" Zheng Qingzhi quickly realized, Prince Yi, you have too little study time.
"It is said that reading thousands of books is not as important as traveling thousands of miles and studying and practicing. Teaching by words and deeds is not as important as teaching by words and deeds." Zhao Yurui said seriously: "Professor Zheng, Professor Li and others are all in the palace. You are all my teachers. I am
Wang has to ask for advice and study, and he can't just follow Professor Zheng to learn the Analects of Confucius."
Zheng Qingzhi smiled bitterly. King Yi was obviously making an excuse for being lazy, but it sounded quite reasonable.
This sentence is quite interesting as it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.
"King Yi has made such a change, how can I explain it to His Majesty and the Prime Minister?" Zheng Qing said anxiously.
"Just say it." Zhao Yurui thought to himself that King Yi had already been granted the title, and the emperor had a good impression of him, so it was impossible to remove him again just for the sake of studying.
As long as I go to the palace more often and meet my uncle more often.
No matter what, he would not agree to spend all his time studying every day.
