390 The prince reads with him

The situation is not good......

Suning frowned, with a bitter face, kneeling on the cushion in a formal manner, enduring the itchy pain of numbness in his legs and feet, holding a brush, writing word by word - the sky will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are motivated to endure and gain what they cannot......

In front of Suning sat the old man Kong Yingda with squinting eyes, a look of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change his color, I stood still in the posture of a high monk, maybe it was also a great Confucian posture, anyway, how did Suning look at it and feel unhappy, but there was no way, who made him Li Chengqian's current teacher and his current nominal teacher......

Li Er's majesty is quite concerned about Li Chengqian's education, and it can be seen from Li Chengqian's schedule, for example, in the morning, Li Chengqian went to Hongwen Hall to study, in the afternoon, Kong Yingda personally opened a small stove for Li Chengqian, and in the evening, Li Er's majesty and Empress Changsun had to take the exam for his homework today...... Li Chengqian had two teachers before, one was the great Confucian Lu Deming, and the other was the third generation of emperor Li Gang, but they had both passed away, so Kong Yingda took on the important responsibility of teaching Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian's education is undoubtedly the most elite education in the entire Tang Empire, and countless meritorious nobles want their children to become Li Chengqian's companions, not to say that they receive education, of course, this is also one aspect, but the main thing is that they still hope that their children can have a good relationship with Li Chengqian, the future emperor, not to mention anything else. As long as you have a good relationship, you will be a minister of the dragon in the future, and the preferential treatment is leveraged.

But His Majesty Li Er didn't do this, it was better to say that he didn't want to do it, he didn't want some people to become Li Chengqian's left and right arms, but if he met some people who couldn't refuse, then let him serve in the East Palace and assist the prince, but he wouldn't let anyone become Li Chengqian's companion, and Suning. It seems that it is Li Chengqian's first companion. So it's not difficult to understand that when he came to the East Palace this afternoon to start his companion reading, Li Chengqian's excited expression......

Of course, it is not difficult to understand the gloating and extremely comfortable expression on his face now......

This guy ......

"Teacher! For what! I must sit upright for anything. And Cheng Qian. No. The prince can sit on the chair! It's so tiring, my legs and feet are numb! Suning finally couldn't bear it anymore, after writing Mencius's famous sayings a hundred times. finally broke out, pointing to Li Chengqian, who was sitting on a chair drinking water while pretending to be reading a book and actually reading his own jokes, and said loudly to Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda opened his eyes slightly, looked at Suning's appearance, and then closed his eyes again: "Have you finished writing a hundred times?" Suning pointed to the thick pile of paper on the desk, and didn't speak, Kong Yingda picked it up and flipped it over slightly, and nodded: "This calligraphy is really full of atmosphere, majestic and heroic, but it doesn't live up to your talent, but there is a little rush between the pens, the whole word doesn't look calm, and the artistic conception is inferior, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, among a hundred, you can see people, but only three or five." ”

Su Ning said depressedly: "Teacher, don't divert the topic, please answer the students' questions, besides, I don't point to selling these words for money." ”

Kong Yingda put down the paper in his hand and looked at Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian immediately showed the appearance of a good student, sitting on the chair, holding a book in one hand and propping up on the table with the other, standard posture and perfect etiquette, reflecting the perfect bearing as the first heir to the future throne, Kong Yingda nodded, looked at Suning again, and then closed his eyes, shook his head, and wondered in his heart why is the difference between Nima so big?

"The old man knows that you have never read the Confucian classics since you were a child, nor have you received formal education, but you have learned from a hundred schools, and your style of thinking is naturally different from the vast majority of scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and even the vast majority of officials, you are more pragmatic, and do not look at the false name, this is your advantage, this point, the old man thinks that he is not as good, after all, we do not belong to the same school, I am a descendant of Confucius, but you are a descendant of Guiguzi.

However, the reason why His Majesty asked you to read with the prince is that he hopes that you can learn more Confucian classics, understand more Confucian principles, and put aside the rest of the factors.

But just as the evaluation of the world, the Zongheng family is too deceitful, drills people's hearts, plays with people's hearts, and plays with the world's people in applause, the old man does not understand the Zongheng family theory, but looking at the character and temperament of the heirs of the Zongheng family, it can be seen that without exception, unscrupulous means are used to achieve the goal, including flaws must be reported; The old man doesn't look down on these people, the world is like this, what can we do? But what the old man wants to say is that even if you can play the world in applause, if you don't cultivate virtue and don't know how to advance or retreat, you can only end up like Su Qin.

The reason why Confucianism is prosperous, there is also to educate people to stick to their own hearts, self-cultivation and self-cultivation in it, Confucius said that "benevolence" is the essence of Confucianism, Confucianism, benevolence, with the meaning of the "Book of Changes" to explain, that is, the so-called virtue, virtue and the possession of external things do not match, it is definitely a disaster, will bring disaster to themselves, only virtue and the possession of external things match, in order to have a long time, and will not damage themselves.

Do you understand the truth in this? Although you are a family heirloom, but the old man manages your style, although there is no Confucian benevolence, but also has his own virtue and integrity, and has not done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, and the things he does are also for the people of the Tang Dynasty, although there are some small flaws, but the flaws are not hidden, it is because the old man has always had great expectations for you, and I believe that His Majesty and the old man have the same idea, so I asked you to be the companion of His Royal Highness the Prince, you must understand the hard work of His Majesty and the old man! ”

The old man Kong Yingda's face was sincere, and Suning also felt that Kong Yingda's words were sincere, so he respectfully performed an ancient apprenticeship. Said: "Confucius said, the students understand that although the students have not studied the Confucian classics in detail, they have only read them, and they only know a little about them, but in the years of studying with the master, the disciples have definitely not only learned the vertical and horizontal arts, but also the hundreds of schools of thought, and the disciples have dabbled in it, and they have taken a fancy to the school of virtue and ethics. Confucianism is definitely not the only one. ”

Kong Yingda nodded: "The old man also knows this." Looking at your style of acting, you know that you are definitely not a simple heir of the Zongheng family, so even if you let Wang Shihe fall into a situation from which he will never recover, the old man does not feel that there is anything wrong. If not. How do you compare to your ancestors, Su Qin and Zhang Yi? As the ancestors said. To repay grievances directly, his kind of attitude, if the old man is present. Surely they will rebuke him. ”

Suning said goodbye: "Thank you Master Confucius for your understanding." ”

Kong Yingda nodded with a smile and said: "This is also the reason why the old man does not plan to teach you other things, the old man just lets you learn calligraphy, just let you sit upright, let your body work, exercise your character, hone your will, the old man knows that you and Ling Shizun have studied for several years, this body is naturally strong, but it is more about "movement", rather than "quiet", many things, "movement" can not be solved.

In his spare time, the old man has also read some books on Buddhism and Taoism, which is to bring "quiet" to the extreme, and if the mind is quiet, there is no hustle and bustle that can disturb you, any harshness, insult, slander, can not shake your mind, as long as you keep your mind calm and rational, you have done what your countless ancestors have not been able to do, in the vertical and horizontal school, only Mr. Guiguzi can do this.

You should also know that most of the people who pass on the vertical and horizontal do not die well, the reason is that there is a loss of virtue, Mr. Guiguzi is well versed in the art of strategy, and he says something unpleasant, and naturally understands how to frame others and how to kill others, but Mr. Guiguzi has never harmed anyone in his life, he has transcended to another realm, that is the real Zonghengjia, everyone who crosses the world and the world, but except for Mr. Guiguzi, no one in the Zongheng School can reach that realm.

It is good that everyone in the world should pursue knowledge, but the more important thing is that what is the world pursuing knowledge for, whether it is to benefit more people or to benefit themselves; If it is only for the benefit of oneself, it is fine, but more people use knowledge to harm others, knowledge is the essence of the wisdom inherited by the ancestors, and it is the wealth of the ancestors for the benefit of the world.

To harm people with knowledge, it is destined not to die well, to help others with knowledge, that is the real grandmaster style, Sanming, what you have done, has a slight grandmaster, this is the most gratifying place for the old man, if so, there will be another twenty years, thirty years, you will definitely be a generation of grandmasters; And your virtue, character, and difference, it doesn't matter, you are only fifteen years old, still young, still promising, you have to keep in mind, don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small, Liu Bei warned Liu Chan's words, word by word.

It is difficult for good, easy for evil, so you can't indulge yourself, you can't despise any small indulgence, the old man has gone all the way, and the things he has experienced are unimaginable, and now, the old man still feels that his virtue is at a loss, and he is not enough to have what he currently has, so he is more strict with himself, restraining himself, young people, it is difficult to restrain himself, this old man understands, but he must remember in his heart, all the time, if he is not careful, he will lose all the time, and he will learn from the past and the future generations! ”

The old man Kong Yingda said a lot in one breath, not an empty truth, but his own perception, the reason why there is a treasure in the family, is because of the rich life experience, as the saying goes, familiar with 300 Tang poems, can not compose poems and chant, this is a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, perhaps Suning's future achievements will far exceed Kong Yingda, but in terms of virtue, Suning is far inferior to Kong Yingda.

Virtue is an eternal truth, the old man also hangs this idiom on the edge from time to time, yes, only virtue can carry things, so the ancients said, the world is big, and the virtuous live in it, Suning suddenly felt that Kong Yingda's image was tall, so he saluted Kong Yingda respectfully and said: "The words of Master Confucius, students remember it!" We must always be vigilant and dare not slack off. ”

Kong Yingda stroked his beard with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The children can be taught, the children can be taught!" His Royal Highness the Prince, what the old minister said, not only for Sanming, but also for His Royal Highness the Prince, the world is big, the virtuous live in it, His Royal Highness the Prince is the person who wants to be the emperor, then the world will be the emperor, the emperor's virtue must be higher than anyone else, more attention to ethics than anyone else, in order to have the whole world, otherwise, the experience of the former Sui is vivid, His Royal Highness the Prince must not ignore it. ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly got up, and said yes again and again, there was some fear between the words, Suning frowned, and suddenly thought of some bad things, the records in the history books are very detailed, and there are comments from later generations, for this historical fact, no one understands the next direction better than Suning.
