The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 330 Heaven and earth are dark yellow, the universe is flooded

After the Tianshu Ji Gongzhu was erected, another four years passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the fall of the Byzantine Empire, the Tang Dynasty has been respected as the suzerain state by all countries in the world and has become the economic center of the world.

The development and prosperity of Datang's economy can be summarized in one sentence.

Wherever there are people, you can definitely see Tang merchants.

Countless countries rushed to establish trade cooperation relations with Datang, or directly trade with each other.

And behind a prosperous economy, it is also inseparable from military strength.

A strong military is the foundation for ensuring a country's prosperity.

Without a strong enough fist, how can you protect the wealth in your hands?

Of course, no country dared to be stupid enough to provoke the Tang Dynasty, because since the demise of the Byzantine Empire, there has been no country strong enough to compete with the Tang Dynasty.

The whole world is alive and well, and the world is under great rule.

In the imperial palace, Feihuang Palace, the sound of childish reading could be heard.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast. The sun and moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are spread out.

Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides.When there is a leap year, the law Lu adjusts the Yang."

In the garden, a child who looked to be no more than three or four years old was reciting the "Thousand-Character Classic" word for word.

After a long time, he actually recited the entire thousand-character article without missing a word.

After finishing the recitation, the boy just turned to the man in front of him who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and had an extraordinary bearing and said bluntly: "Father, I have finished reciting it."

Besides the emperor, who else can wear dragon robes in the palace?
This man is naturally Li Chengdao.

After hearing Xiaotong's words, Li Chengdao smiled and nodded, saying, "Very good. I didn't expect you, Rui'er, to have memorized the entire thousand-character essay. Very good."

This little boy is Wu Meiniang's child, the second prince Huan Wang Li Rui.

Now four years later, Li Rui has grown up, and he is very smart. Even the teacher responsible for teaching him elementary school is full of praise.

Hearing Li Chengdao's compliment, Li Rui showed a hint of joy.

Seeing this, Wu Meiniang smiled and said to Li Chengdao: "Since your Majesty said you wanted to take the exam for Ruier last time, he has worked harder and harder."

After hearing this, Li Chengdao couldn't help but reached out and touched the top of Li Rui's head.

Then he turned his attention to the ministers around him and said with a smile: "What do you think of my prince? I think that with his talent, he can study like a palace scholar next year."

The palace academy is a place specially used to teach the children of princes and ministers, and is not accessible to ordinary people.

The teachers there are also great Confucians and sages, with Ph.D.s in various subjects.

Generally speaking, one can enter the palace school at the age of six, but Li Chengdao believed that Li Rui was talented and could enter the palace early.

"I have no objection."

All the ministers smiled and nodded.

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "It's too early to start school at the age of five. I think it's better to wait a little longer to avoid robbing the young students."

Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and said to the eldest son, Sun Wuji: "Isn't it true that the auxiliary machine also holds the post of sacrificial wine in the Imperial Academy? Why don't we take the exam for His Highness King Huan? If His Highness Huan King passes, he will study in the palace."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Changsun Wuji's face darkened slightly and he couldn't help but glare at Jia Xu.

Isn't it posing a problem for him by asking him to go to the Imperial Academy to attend the imperial examination for a four-year-old Mengtong?
Li Chengdao found it interesting, so he said, "I think it's okay."

As he said this, he looked at Li Rui and asked, "What do you think, Huang'er? Are you willing to take the exam?"

Li Rui's eyes were clear and he said in a loud voice: "My son is willing to accept the school examination from Master Changsun!"

Such a calm demeanor is completely unlike what a four-year-old child can have.

Li Chengdao smiled and said: "Well, if Huang'er can pass the exam, I will agree to your request that is not excessive." "Assistant machine, you can come up with the questions."

Li Chengdao said so, Changsun Wuji naturally couldn't refuse anymore, and he had no choice but to say yes, and then began to think about how to test Li Rui.

If the question is too difficult, the other person is just a child; if the question is too difficult, it will be considered as deliberately letting someone off the hook.

After thinking for a long time, Changsun Wuji asked: "The sky and the earth are black and yellow, and the universe is primitive. What do you mean by these two sentences?"

Everyone was slightly startled when they heard Changsun Wuji's question.

This is the first sentence in the Thousand-Character Essay, and it is also the most familiar sentence. It can be said that everyone who has read the book knows it.

Because The Thousand-Character Classic is a must-learn book for young children, it is catchy but contains profound truths.

But if you want to ask what each sentence in it means, it is estimated that many people will not know, especially the sentence "The sky and the earth are black and yellow, and the universe is primitive."

"It's a little difficult."

Everyone thought secretly.

Li Rui just thought for a moment, then raised his head and replied: "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang comes from the "Book of Changes", Tianxuan Dihuang;

The universe comes from Huainanzi.The four directions above and below are called the universe, and throughout the ages it is called the universe;

"Honghuang" comes from "Tai Xuan Jing". There was a life before Yao and Shun in ancient times, which was called the "Honghuang" era. "

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Li Rui actually answered?It also involves the "Book of Changes", "Huainanzi" and "Tai Xuan Jing". Is this what a four-year-old child can know?
Changsun Wuji was also a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Have you read the Book of Changes, Huainanzi, and Taixuan Jing?"

Li Rui shook his head and said: "I haven't read it, but I have read the relevant explanations of each sentence in The Thousand Character Essay and memorized them all."

Everyone suddenly understood and admired Li Rui's intelligence.

Although I only memorized the explanations, it is very rare for a four-year-old to memorize so many things.

You must know that Li Rui is just reading books and learning by himself, and has not yet entered the palace to study.

Changsun Wuji then asked Li Rui some questions, and Li Rui answered them all.

After the exam, Changsun Wuji bowed his hand to Li Chengdao and praised: "His Royal Highness King Huan is smarter than most novice boys. He can study in the palace."

Changsun Wuji also recognized Li Rui's talent.

As a father, Li Chengdao was naturally very happy to hear other people praising his children.

"Well, in that case, Rui'er, this autumn, you can follow your sister and eldest brother to study in the palace. Don't slack off."

Li Chengdao smiled at Li Rui and said.

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Rui's face was full of joy.

Then Li Chengdao continued: "I said before that if you pass the exam, I will agree to a modest request. What do you want? But it doesn't matter."

Li Rui's little face turned slightly red and he said with some awe, "My son, my son heard that there is something called a candy man outside the palace. I would like to ask my father to reward me with a candy man."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. After all, he was still a child.

"I promise you."

Li Chengdao smiled and agreed, and then said to Wu Meiniang: "Don't be too strict with Rui'er. He is still a child. It's okay to let him out of the palace to play occasionally."

In fact, after hearing what Li Rui just said, Wu Meiniang felt a little guilty. She seemed to have too high demands on Li Rui.

So she nodded and said, "I understand."
