Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 31 Shocked

"Mr. Hui, Master has taught me classics and history books, arithmetic, geography, astronomy, investigation of things, medicine..."

"hiss……"

As soon as Yang Xiaoran said this, there was only a sound of gasping in the Hongwenguan school.

She is only ten years old this year. Although in this day and age, people are generally enlightened at the age of five, and there are also talented and intelligent people who can learn to read at the age of three, but it is obviously very human to learn so much knowledge in just a few years.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about reading and writing. It looks like an entry point, but it needs to spend the most time and effort.This is not a later life, there is no such thing as pinyin, and characters must be memorized by rote, which is very difficult for a child.

At this moment, in the Tang Dynasty, the method of recognizing characters by cutting characters has appeared, which has greatly reduced the difficulty of recognizing characters.However, it is still very difficult to master the silent writing and reading of a large number of characters in a short period of time.

Although the fart children here are not big, they have a deep understanding of the difficulty of recognizing words.Hearing that Yang Xiaoran has been involved in so many subjects at such a young age, he couldn't help but feel admiration.Although she has learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, it does not prevent them from admiring her.

Kong Yingda was also secretly startled. He had only heard people say that the girl from the Cheng family was intelligent and could compose poems at the age of seven. He had read that poem about pity for farmers, and she did it very well. Coupled with her age, it was really rare. .But it is rare to be able to read the enlightenment books at such a young age, but she is only ten years old now, can she really eat so much knowledge?
There was a hint of doubt in Kong Yingda's eyes. Pressing the question in his heart, he said calmly: "Oh? You have learned so much at such a young age? Then I will test you as a teacher."

Are you really going to come to slap me in the face?Alas, why does every teacher like to test students?

"He who loves others, people will always love them; whoever respects others, people will always respect them, what's the solution?"

Here I am complaining in my heart, while the descendants of Confucius have already started to ask questions.

Yang Xiaoran really wanted to roll her eyes. Although my sister was an engineering dog in her previous life, she was tortured by exam-oriented education for many years. Even if she didn't have many years of education, she could answer this kind of question by herself, okay?Isn't it just translating it into vernacular, and then uttering the warning meaning of this sentence?This was the key point of the exam in the previous life!
The corner of Yang Xiaoran's mouth couldn't help pulling out an arc, Kong Yingda was a little confused by Yang Xiaoran's smile, and was wondering if this guy was trying to mess with something else, but he heard the little man reply sternly: "Mr. A sentence comes from "Mencius Li Louxia": "A gentleman has his heart in three, and his heart in etiquette.A benevolent person loves others, and a polite person respects others.People who love others will always love them; those who respect others will always respect them. "

Kong Yingda nodded subconsciously as he wiped his beard, with appreciation in his eyes.It is not easy at her age to be able to answer the source immediately, she is simply a genius-like existence, it seems that there is no need for outside rumors, this child must be familiar with Confucian classics.

"The meaning of this saying is that those who love others will always be loved by others; those who respect others will always be respected by others."

Kong Yingda frowned slightly. This answer was correct, but it was a bit blunt and shallow.It's just that when he thinks about Yang Xiaoran's age, he feels relieved. It's pretty good for a ten-year-old child to answer this question, and he's considered an outstanding student in this school.

"Students are ignorant, secretly thinking that the meaning of this sage and teacher is to teach us that to be a human being, we must compare our hearts with our hearts. If we want to get something, we must first pay for it. When we get the approval of others, we will naturally get others' respect! Just like Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, although he swept the six kingdoms, ended the war, and claimed to be the first emperor, but after succeeding to the throne, he extorted violently and excessively used the power of the people. Of course he was called the "Great Emperor of a Generation", but other than that, he left the world with what?"

"It's nothing more than the notoriety of the Qin Dynasty who died for two generations, and the sad and beautiful story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall. The misfortunes of many people are based on his great achievements. It is made of piles of bones. The former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal. Although he connected the north and the south, he also paid the price of subjugation. The monarch is unkind and treats the people as dogs, and the people will no longer love him. It's about overthrowing him."

"Although the overlord of Chu is powerful and arrogant, he can be self-willed, despise the people, let his subordinates do evil among the people, burn, kill and plunder, and finally arouse public anger. In the end, he had to kill himself in Wujiang, and he was ashamed to see Jiangdong's elders. The tragic ending. Give roses to others, leave fragrance in your hands, if everyone keeps benevolence in their hearts, up to the king and down to the subjects, it will eventually open up a prosperous world!"

Kong Yingda was stunned!

The mouth is wide open, where did this monster come from?
Ten years old, she is only ten years old!This insight is profound and simple, and it is eloquent, and it also quotes historical events, which is better than this gentleman.What's even more rare is that she raised the warning sentence of the sage to cultivate life and cultivate to a higher level. From the perspective of a king and his subjects, it can be said to be deafening and refreshing. This is really just a ten-year-old child?
Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi's eyes were bright, and they looked at their younger sister with admiration, and looked at Kong Yingda with contempt in their eyes.Look, how well my sister-in-law speaks?It's simple and interesting, much better than this old man.If they want to attend classes like this every day, they are willing to come.

Li Chengqian was also slightly surprised, but then he showed a thoughtful expression.

I love everyone, does everyone love me?Is that what you mean? (Ai means benevolence in ancient times)

If the king loves his subjects, the subjects will love him.In a flash of inspiration, Li Chengqian felt that he had captured something, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Li Tai and the others were going crazy. Many of them thought they were extremely gifted in reading, but when compared with the girls from the Cheng family, they suddenly found that they were such scumbags.This feeling is really bad!
After a while, Kong Yingda finally closed her mouth and asked, "This, is this all your own understanding?"

"of course not!"

Yang Xiaoran smiled sweetly, "A lot of things are taught by the master, and some are thought of by myself. When the master was alive, he often scolded the students for being stupid. It took a long time to understand the meaning of a scripture. Later, he came up with a method, not just explaining It is easier to remember the scriptures, but to explain them in conjunction with the events of the predecessors."

"Daxian, Daxian!"

The old man Kong Yingda was trembling with excitement, "It's a pity that such a great sage is going west, it's a pity!"

"Master said that people use copper as a mirror to straighten their clothes; use the past as a mirror to know success and failure; use people as a mirror to know gains and losses. Teach disciples to always maintain a humble heart, use people and history as a mirror, and always check Only by doing this can one become a person who is loved by others. He also told his disciples that most wise monarchs are well aware of this principle, so they can make great achievements and be happy for future generations; so what is a monarch? What are the people? People are water, and water can carry a boat or overturn it..."

Li Shimin, who had just arrived outside the Hongwen Museum, couldn't help trembling slightly when he heard this. Water can carry a boat or capsize it...Take history as a mirror, and people as a mirror...

Kong Yingda almost wanted to kneel down. The monstrous master had taught a monster-like apprentice, and she wished she could go to Xiaoqingshan to dig out Yang Xiaoran's master from the coffin, bury her grandly, and set up a monument.How can such a great sage disappear in the world?He should not be a Taoist, but a member of Confucianism for making such deafening and warning words and explaining the Confucian classics so thoroughly!As a descendant of the ancestor of Confucius, he has this responsibility!
Yang Xiaoran snickered inwardly, and was punished several times by Li Shimin, girl, I will use your future famous sayings to fool the teacher today, and let you take my things for nothing and not give me money!

The right to sign these few sentences in future history books will not belong to Li Xiaoer, but to her cheap master!The old way has carefully taught and raised himself for many years, is this a good reward?

Yang Xiaoran lowered his head and secretly laughed, but he didn't notice that a bright yellow figure had floated in from outside the hall.

He only heard "See Your Majesty" before he raised his head in a little surprise, seeing his nemesis Li Xiaoer coming, his small body trembled slightly, and hurriedly performed Wan Anli, saying: "Greetings, Your Majesty, long live my emperor !"

"Get up..."

Li Er unceremoniously took away the seat that belonged to Kong Yingda, sat down carelessly, looked at Yang Xiaoran, and said, "I heard what I said just now. A king is a boat; a citizen is water; water can carry A boat can capsize. Well, Xiaoyaozi is worthy of being a great sage of his generation, and it is really a blessing to have been taught by him for many years."

After a pause, he continued: "Just now I heard you compare Qin Shihuang with the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Let me ask you, how does our Tang Dynasty compare with these two?"

Yang Xiaoran was startled, and secretly scolded Li Er again.

Damn Li Xiaoer is not only stingy, but also likes to eavesdrop. What kind of trouble is this?I also like to make things difficult for children, should I answer such difficult questions?

Yang Xiaoran thought for a while, looked up at Li Shimin, his eyes were clear, and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I don't know."

"Why don't you know?!"

Li Shimin's tone became serious, Yang Xiaoran lowered his head, avoiding Li Shimin's persuasive gaze, and thought to himself: "The subtext of this guy's words must be, how do I, Li Shimin, compare with Li Jiancheng? This is really a killer question!"

"It has only been more than a dozen years since my Tang dynasty became the world's top. Your Majesty asked my courtier how it compares to the previous dynasty, and my courtier didn't know how to answer."

After thinking about it, Yang Xiaoran decided to be more honest in front of such a hero, and said with a child's unique coquettishness: "It's just that Qin and Sui died in two generations. , even swallowed locusts and touched the heavens, and the rain fell from the sky. The courtiers don't understand, why does your majesty compare my Tang Dynasty with these two short-lived dynasties? Why don’t the king and the people love him? Last year when the Turks knocked on the pass, His Majesty cut off a white horse by the Weishui River to usher in a short respite for the Tang Dynasty. How can this kindness and patience be comparable to ordinary people? Emperor Yangdi disregarded the grievances of the people, disregarded the power of the country, insisted on going his own way, conquered Goguryeo three times, and ended up in a disgraceful end, compared with these two, your majesty is not self-declining?"
