This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 153 The First Prince Regency!Everything is inferior, only reading is high!
After Zhenbei General Xiao Yan's case of rebellion was overturned, and Emperor Tianfu issued an edict of guilt on behalf of the former emperor, everything gradually calmed down, and Dazhou returned to calm.

After all, the most important thing is your own life.

After the Spring Festival, the new year begins.

The war with the Li Kingdom was stopped, and the barbarians who had long disturbed the border of the Zhou Kingdom were completely suppressed.

For a long time to come, there will be no foreign aggression in the state of Zhou, and everything will exude vitality.

However, a piece of news from the palace made the situation in the court a little tense.

Emperor Tianfu was ill and no longer participated in the court meeting, and all government and state affairs were handed over to the eldest prince Wu Gan for handling.

This news shocked the court up and down.

The first is the physical condition of Emperor Tianfu.

Emperor Tianfu has been in power for many years, and now he is over 70 years old, which can be considered a long life for ordinary people.

Looking at history, there are only a handful of emperors who can live as long as Emperor Tianfu.

Even the ministers in the court have changed several rounds, but Emperor Tianfu is still there, and all the ministers are used to fighting his majesty with wits and courage.

But now it suddenly came out that Emperor Tianfu was ill, and the eldest prince was asked to take charge of state affairs on his behalf.

This had to surprise the officials.

Although Emperor Tianfu had already delegated the power of supervising the country to the eldest prince, he was still in court.

But now it is really no longer dealing with state affairs, and everything is in charge of the First Prince.

And this very likely means... the battle for the crown prince has been decided, and the eldest prince finally won.

There's a little more to it.

That means Emperor Tianfu's body will not be able to hold on anymore!That's why the power should be slowly transferred to the First Prince!

No one expected that such a major change would happen less than a month after the new year, and at the same time, they also wondered why Emperor Tianfu, who had always been in good health, suddenly fell ill.

Many people guessed that this had something to do with Li Qing.

Because the news of Emperor Tianfu's illness came out after the year, and it had not been long since Li Qing reversed the case for General Zhenbei, so it was hard not to associate the two events together.

But whether Emperor Tianfu's illness has anything to do with Li Qing or not, it doesn't matter now.

The important thing is that once Emperor Tianfu dies of illness and a new crown prince ascends the throne, the court structure will usher in a new round of reshuffle!
The faction that originally supported the Second Prince will definitely be purged; while those who support the First Prince will soar into the sky!
It's a new year and Vientiane starts to renew.

……

……

"The heaven and earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric.

The sun and the moon are surging, and the stars are listed.

The cold comes and goes, the autumn is harvested and winter is hidden.

Runyu is an adult, Lulu Tiaoyang..."

In the early morning, in a private school in a certain mountain village, the sound of children reading aloud came from the dilapidated houses.

In this small mountain village, the seeds of knowledge and culture are quietly being bred, full of vigor and vitality.

In the school, a young gentleman with plain clothes and handsome appearance was listening to the sound of children reading.

After the children finished reading the "Thousand-Character Essays", the young gentleman nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Very good, most of them are not lazy, and have memorized all the rare characters taught by the teacher."

"However, there are still a few students who haven't read it well. Can you tell me why? Erniu, Duhu?"

The two children who were named were taken aback.

Then stood up hesitantly.

"Sir, I'm sorry, my father asked me to help clear pigweed yesterday, and I couldn't finish my homework."

The child named Er Niu said in shame.

The young gentleman didn't say anything after hearing the words, then looked at the other child and asked, "What about you?"

This kid named Dahu lives up to his name, he has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and his body is stronger than ordinary children.

Hearing the young gentleman's question, he scratched his head and said, "It's so difficult to read. When I see those words, my head swells and I can't read them at all."

"And I feel that reading is useless. I don't want to study. I want to be a general in the future. Go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country. That is the most prestigious!"

Duhu held his head high and raised his chest, his tone full of yearning.

For these children from mountain villages, they yearn for joining the army more than studying.

But as soon as he finished speaking, another child retorted loudly: "You are talking nonsense! Who said that reading is useless? Isn't the King of Monsters a scholar? How powerful he is!"

"He repelled those barbarians!"

Another child also said: "Yes, yes, and now you can conjure a sword from reading, which is amazing!"

Dahu was so stunned by this sentence that he couldn't refute it, and his face turned red for a moment, because it was indeed the truth.

The barbarians have invaded the Central Plains for many years, so many generals and soldiers were unable to completely eradicate them, but they were solved by Li Qing, the demon king alone.

And that demon king is a real scholar!
"Then can you read like the Demon Suppressing King? I heard from my father that the Demon Suppressing King is a natural god, and you can compare to the Demon Suppressing King?"

"We are just a bunch of poor kids, no matter how much we study, we can't compare to those in the city!"

Dahu said angrily.

When the children in the private school heard his sharp words, some couldn't help crying.

Dumb still wanted to talk, but at this moment, a hand landed lightly on his shoulder, it was Mr. Private School.

"First, sir..."

Duhu was taken aback, and only then did he wake up, realizing that he had just said the wrong thing.

However, the young gentleman was not angry, but took out a veil from his arms, wiped away the tears of those crying children, and returned to the podium after comforting them.

"Actually, what Dahu said just now is correct."

The young gentleman smiled, and said something that surprised all the children, all of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Many things in this world are actually predestined. At the same time, it also depends on talent and background."

"The Demon Suppressing King came from a poor family. Although he can inspire countless people at this point, the world is so big, how many people are there like the Demon Suppressing King?"

"Similarly, nowadays many scholars who can pass the exams are basically from extraordinary backgrounds, at least from a relatively well-to-do family. The environment and education they have come into contact with are far beyond yours, so they are easy to succeed."

"And if children from poor families want to succeed, they have to work a thousand times harder and have talents far surpassing theirs."

"Even so, you have to try your luck and be appreciated by Bole before you can soar into the sky."

"In comparison, how unfair is this?"

The young gentleman's voice fell on the ears of many children, making them all bow their heads in silence.

A little girl looked up at the husband, and asked with red eyes: "Then, sir, since we can't compare with those who come from better backgrounds..."

"Then what is the meaning of our reading?"

This is the little girl's greatest puzzlement.

Mr. Lian said that it is very difficult for children from poor families to succeed, so what is the point of their studies?
"That's a good question, and this is what I want to say as a teacher."

The young gentleman nodded slightly, then looked around at the dozens of children in the small private school, and said seriously: "Study is not necessarily for the sake of getting fame."

"Reading has many meanings. It can help you enlighten your wisdom and enlightenment; it can help you understand things and distinguish between good and evil; it can let you know how big the world is and broaden your horizons."

"Fame and fortune are just a value and goal attached to reading, but its real value does not lie in this."

"Its real value lies in changing destiny."

The gentle voice of the young gentleman echoed in the private school, patiently resolving the children's doubts.

"If you have studied, at least you can understand what is propriety, what is benevolence, what is righteousness, what is faith, and those principles will change your thinking and stop being ignorant."

"And even if you can't achieve success in your generation, as long as you can teach your sons and grandchildren to read well, then you will have a chance to succeed."

"Even if the offspring can't make it to the top, but passing on poems and books to the family can at least ensure family harmony and harmony."

"This is the greatest meaning of reading."

The young gentleman looked at Dumb again, and said with a smile, "You said you wanted to be a general, but do you know that generals also need to be literate?"

"The art of war, military orders, tactics, strategy, who can become a general, is himself a scholar."

"It's just that the books they read are not the principles of sages and the admonitions of sages, but military books, the way of attack."

"There has never been a great general in the world who can be achieved only by personal bravery; if he only knows how to charge forward and kill the enemy on the battlefield, he can only be an enemy of a hundred or a thousand."

"But you can't command thousands of troops and become the enemy of tens of thousands of people, the enemy of millions of people who attack all countries on the battlefield!"

All the children's eyes widened.

The young gentleman's words were like enlightenment, completely opening up their cognition and thinking.

And Duhu felt extremely shocked in his heart.

He thought that a fierce general only needs to be brave, but the young gentleman told him what a fierce general is.

"Sir, I know I was wrong."

Dumb obediently lowered his head, willingly admitting his mistake to the young gentleman.

The young gentleman touched the top of his head, and then said: "It's okay, you can correct your mistakes, and there is nothing good about it."

"Sit down and listen carefully."

"Today, as a teacher, I'm here to explain to you the first two sentences of the Thousand-Character Classic, what is meant by 'Heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric'."

The young gentleman picked up the book and began to teach.

The morning sunlight shines into the house through the hole in the private school, and flows slowly on the ground and on the faces of the children who are listening carefully.

The germination of knowledge sprouts here.

……

After the morning class, the children bid farewell to the young gentleman and went home for dinner.

The young gentleman stood at the door, looked at the students with a smile, and sent them away one by one.

Watching the children go home one by one, the young gentleman stood at the door with his sleeves folded and watched them go away.

At this time, he saw a middle-aged man with a thin face approaching, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Brother Chen, are you cured?"

asked the young gentleman.

Mr. Chen nodded and saluted when he heard the words: "It's ready, thanks to you helping me substitute for the students these few days."

"I just listened to the class. Brother Li's views on reading, what you said is really unique."

Reading is not for fame and wealth, but for changing oneself. This sentence makes him quite touched.

The young gentleman smiled and replied: "It's just some words from the heart. Everything is inferior, but reading is high. I hope these children can go out of this small mountain village in the future and see the vastness of the world."

After listening to Mr. Chen, he was deeply impressed.

"Okay, now that Brother Chen has recovered from his illness, then Li will leave and see you again."

The young gentleman cupped his hands to Mr. Chen.

He was only here as a substitute for a few days. Since the husband has recovered, he naturally cannot continue to occupy the magpie's nest.

"Please accept the money, this is the substitute tuition fee for the past few days..."

Mr. Chen took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and said.

Seeing this, the young gentleman was a little dumbfounded: "Brother Chen, there is no need to be like this. These few taels of silver are all your monthly salary, right?"

"Li has only been a substitute for a few days, how can I accept it?"

However, Mr. Chen insisted: "Brother Li's literary talent is infinitely higher than mine, but he is willing to condescend to teach a group of ordinary children here, it is really rare."

"I know Brother Li's status is definitely good, and I don't like these Xu Yinzi, but this is my heart, and I ask Brother Li to accept it, and don't refuse."

The young gentleman had no choice but to accept the silver in the end because he couldn't hold back the old-fashioned Mr. Chen.

Then Mr. Chen sent him all the way to the entrance of the village.

Before leaving, the young gentleman said to Mr. Chen: "Brother Chen, if you are free, you might as well go to the holy temple in the city to pay homage to the holy image and awaken your position."

"Li thought that if he practiced Confucianism and Taoism with Brother Chen's aptitude, there would be a lot to gain."

Mr. Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, going to the Holy Court?
Of course he knows about the Holy Court. It is a place that scholars all over the world yearn for. As long as they pay homage to the holy statue, they can get a literary position, open a literary palace, and practice Confucianism and Taoism.

It's just that he is just a half-educated scholar who has read a few books by himself and hasn't even passed the child's exam. How could he be awarded the degree?
But the young gentleman didn't wait for his answer, he turned and left, and went down the mountain path.

……

"The weather is nice today."

"I don't know if Chang Ning is eating properly? She seems to have lost a lot of weight recently."

Walking on the road, the young gentleman looked at the clear sky and said to himself, his thoughts drifted to the distance.

This young private school teacher is Li Qing!
This village is a small village not more than a hundred miles away from Shengjing. He went out for an outing that day and came here.

At that time, the teacher of this private school happened to be sick and away, so he taught here for a few days.

Although the other party's literary talent is average, but his heart is very rare, the most important thing is that Li Qing actually found that there is a trace of grandeur in his chest!

This shows that Mr. Chen is very talented in Confucianism and Taoism.

That's why he suggested that the other party go to the Holy Court.

Li Qing looked back at the small mountain village hidden in the mountain mist, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

There are too many places like this in Dazhou and even in the world, and it is imminent to implement government-run schools.

Only by setting up free schools by the imperial court can more children get education and get out of the mountain village!
But Emperor Tianfu was unwilling to agree to this matter.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help thinking of the recent rumors about Emperor Tianfu's serious illness, and the eldest prince regent.

"Is the Shuanglong Seizing the Inheritance coming to an end?"

"The second prince, will he really willingly give up his seat to the first prince?"

Li Qing thought silently in his heart, but couldn't think of a result.

Just wait and see, the results are coming soon.
