Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 7
It was hard work for the emperor to go to the morning court. He had to get up at four o'clock, and he had to open the court at Maoshi, and it was still dark at that moment.Of the number of emperors in the past dynasties, there is only one person who can make it every morning, and that is the next emperor, Yongzheng. Although Kangxi can be regarded as a hardworking emperor, he can only do it every three days at the moment, and only five days in his later years. towards.Today is the day when Mr. Kangxi went to court early. Yinzuo just took advantage of this opportunity and slipped out of the palace after school. He never thought that he would be summoned twice in such a short time. big.

Well, the old man has a call, this is not a fun thing, hurry up.Yinzuo didn't care much, and immediately rushed to the study.I never expected to meet Gao Yingnian, the eunuch of Li, leading a few young eunuchs and rushing along the road. When Eunuch Gao saw Yinzuo, he immediately let out a sigh of relief: "Sixth Master, you are here!" , if you don't come again, it will be difficult for the Holy One to explain."

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao." With a touch of his hand, Yin Zuo quietly stuffed a hundred taels of banknotes into Eunuch Gao's palm, and said carelessly, "Eunuch Gao, is Huang Ama in a hurry to find his son?"

In the Qing Dynasty, in view of the eunuchs’ rebellion in the previous dynasty, the eunuchs were severely suppressed. Anyone who had eunuchs discussing state affairs indiscriminately would be killed without mercy. Therefore, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been an eunuch controlling the government. Rare in history.Although the eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty had little power, as people close to the emperor, they were well-informed, so many officials still gave money to these eunuchs, asking for news or something.The Eunuch Gao in front of him is obviously used to the cashier receipts. His expression didn't change when the 100 taels of silver bills went down, but he just said indifferently: "My lord is currently taking a test for the fifth elder brother's homework. Sixth Master, please."

Oh, the homework test, the old man is here to check the homework, it's no big deal, we are progressing fast, and I have memorized half of "The Analects of Confucius", which can stand the test.Yinzuo wiped the sweat off his head, waved his hand, and motioned for Eunuch Gao to lead the way, and hurried towards the upper study.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the old fifth Yinqi was sweating on his forehead, knelt down on the ground, stammering something in his mouth, it seemed that he was confused by the exam, the boy immediately relaxed when he saw Yinzuo from the side of his eyes Come down—here comes the cylinder-jack.Sure enough, when Kangxi, who was sitting high on the head, saw Yinzuo, his face immediately became serious: "Yinzuo, are you guilty?"

guilty?Damn, I don't know my mistake, this hat is too big, I can't wear it.Yin Zuo hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said, "Huang Ama calm down, I know I was wrong."

"Huh?" Kangxi hummed softly from his nostrils.

"My son shouldn't leave the palace without asking for an order, but my son's move is for a reason."

"Oh? You know you made a mistake, and there is a reason for it, so let's talk about it." It has long been a custom for brothers to go out of the palace without permission. Game, it's just that no one has made it clear. Today, Yinzuo was arrested as a typical example. Kangxi really wants to hear what good excuses these six children have.

"If you go back to Huang Ama, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Today's Spring Festival happens to be the Empress Dowager's birthday. Double happiness is coming, so I'm thinking about preparing some novel gifts for the Empress Dowager. I wish her good luck. Shou and Tian are in harmony, so I went out of the palace to prepare privately, I never thought that I missed Huang Ama's call, and my son knew it was wrong."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, nicknamed Dayueer, assisted the Three Emperors all her life. She was the most outstanding woman in the Qing Dynasty. She has always been very respectful and filial to this imperial grandmother.At this moment, when Yinzuo went out to prepare a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, his anger dissipated eight or nine points. At the same time, he was also a little curious, wanting to find out what Liu'er had prepared. I am so relieved to have such filial piety. Can you tell Huang Ama what kind of rare things Liu'er has prepared?"

"Huang Ama forgives the sin, my son can only say that the congratulatory gift is something that didn't exist in this world, and the rest will be known in due time." Yinzuo secretly sighed—at least he diverted the old man's attention first.

"Aha." The curiosity of the old man Kangxi was really aroused, "Well, you little bastard, you have also set up an ambush with Huang Ama."

"Hey, baby, this is also to make the Empress Dowager happy, isn't it, Huang Ama will let her minister go." Yin Zuo said with a shy smile.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. If the congratulations don't satisfy the Empress Dowager, be careful with your skin." Kangxi laughed and scolded, pardoning Yinzuo's mistake of leaving the palace privately, but then his face was stern. , asked about homework: "Liu'er, you have been in school for half a year, what have you learned?"

"If you go back to Emperor Ama, your son has already learned "The Analects of Confucius."

"Oh? Can you recite a few passages for Huang Ama?"

"Yes, Huang Ama. The Master said: 'Learning and practicing it from time to time, isn't it a good idea? Is it a pleasure to have friends come from afar? People don't know, but they are not stunned. Isn't it a gentleman?'..." Yinzuo He came as soon as he opened his mouth, from "Xueerpian" to "Advanced Chapter", with a total of more than a thousand words, without any pause in between.

Kangxi himself is a master of erudition and talent, and he always values ​​knowledgeable people. He also knew that this son had an excellent memory and extraordinary talent. When reciting, he is more concerned about whether he can understand why: "What's the explanation for 'being cautious in the end and chasing the distance, and the people's morality will be thick'?" "Advanced in ritual and music, a savage is also; backward in ritual and music, a gentleman is also. If I use it, I will follow it." Advanced.' What's the point?"

The previous sentence comes from "Xue Er Pian", Zeng Zi said, the general idea is: Treating the death of parents cautiously, remembering the long-awaited ancestors, will naturally lead the people to become more loyal and honest.The latter sentence is what Confucius said in "Advanced Chapter", to the effect that a person who first learns rites and music before becoming an official is a commoner (who did not have a noble salary); a person who first becomes an official and then learns rites and music is a gentleman .If talents are to be employed first, then I advocate the selection of those who first learn rituals and music.These ancient proses are not difficult for the current Yinzuo. They can speak freely, and talk in a babbling manner. From time to time, they add some commentaries from the great Confucianists of the previous dynasty, and add some of their own opinions. Don’t say that the elder brother below can listen Hair straight, even Kangxi listened with gusto.

"Okay, Liu'er studied this book hard, yes, I deserve it, little Liu'er, what do you want Emperor Ama to reward you?" Kangxi's reward is great—the emperor is the sky at this time, and what he said is called Jinkou Yuyan, you have to accept whatever reward is given to you, even if you are rewarded to commit suicide, you still have to kowtow to thank the Lord Long En.

Yinzuo was overjoyed: Ha, finally got this opportunity!As soon as I opened my mouth, it made the elder brothers in the room feel uncomfortable...
