The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 232
Hongzhe sat next to Kangxi, feeling a bit cramped: "When I go back to Huang Mafa, only Ama and Er Niang can come in and out of the study room at home, and no one else is allowed. The grandson is also authorized by Er Niang. Once, grandson Er and elder brother were reading the picture book outside, and accidentally saw Erniang pouring tea for Ama, and waited until Ama looked away from the book before handing him the tea bowl. After Ama finished drinking the tea, the tea bowl was not placed on the table, Instead, return it to Er Niang, and the grandson will remember it in my heart a few times like this."

"How many times?" Kangxi pondered. "Well, when Erniang was reading, the servants also served in the same way. They said that Ama and Erniang were very focused on reading. The tea and water must be brought to the hand. Wait until they pick it up. If the master is distracted, the tea will be turned over. It’s the servant’s fault.” Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly: “Zhe’er, I heard that you asked your master for the Three Character Classic a few days ago?”

Hongzhe nodded: "Emiang said, "The Three Character Classic" is more suitable for me and my elder brother to read, "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" are too difficult." You can't believe what Er Niang says!" Minzhi, who was in the Buddhist hall, couldn't help but sneezed, her hand shook, and a piece of lower script was scrapped.

When Hongzhe was told by Kangxi, his face turned slightly red: "Huang Mafa, my grandson thinks the story of the "Three Character Classic" is very interesting, and the book in my grandson's hand was copied by Erniang herself. Many of the allusions , Grandson only found out after reading it." Kangxi snorted, his son always helped Er Niang, and he might not be able to see her once a year: "Those allusions are unofficial history, which is not a big reason. You have to learn , it is necessary to learn orthodox classics, that is what is truly world-class.”

Hongzhe blinked: "Huang Mafa, that's not what Er Niang said. Er Niang knew that there was no "Three Character Classic" in the palace and specially hand-copied a copy of it, and also attached a thick annotation. The grandson felt that the stories in it It’s very interesting, my grandson keeps it with me! Do you want to read Huang Mafa?” Kangxi said blankly, “You still have it with you? Show me it!” Hongyan cheerfully took out a booklet from the corner and handed it to him. To Kangxi.

Then, the child complained, and Huang Mafa did not return the booklet to him until a long time after the summer vacation. Kangxi was taught by Empress Xiaozhuang when he was a child, and Xiaozhuang himself did not start learning Chinese until he entered Beijing. In terms of culture, after Kangxi ascended the throne, he made up for the Four Books and Five Classics, 24 histories, etc., almost to the point that he couldn't put them down.

His starting point was very high, because when he was taught, the child was already the emperor, so of course he didn’t dare to talk about unofficial history novels, which led to a very extreme result. I am not interested in those who are not interested in ethics.That's why, the young Kangxi was quick-witted and kept making strange moves, tripping up Oboi and taking the government into his own hands in one fell swoop.

Therefore, although it was the first time for Kangxi to read "Three Character Classics", the vernacular translation created by Minzhi aroused his interest, especially when it came to allusions, he was even more surprised. There are even Taoist "Shan Hai Jing", "Shang Zhou Romance" (the prototype of "Feng Shen Bang"), and "Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles".Even the Buddhist theory of six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind) and a few paragraphs of gongan.

Turning to the back, Kangxi has to admit that if you read it carefully, the "San Zi Jing" really gathers the essence of various classics and covers everything.In particular, there is a sentence in it: "To be a scholar, there must be a beginning, an end of elementary school, and four books." Minzhi's explanation is: "You have to eat every bite, and you have to recognize each word. Only by reading such classics as the Four Books can we get twice the result with half the effort."

No matter how much Guo Luoluo collected these materials to show off her talents, she is willing to work hard for her son, but it is commendable.Moreover, her writing is easy to understand and is full of extended slang. It is no wonder that after the two children read it, they were completely abducted by her.

Minzhi, who was in the capital city, did not know that it was this handwritten version of "Annotations to the Three Character Classics" that changed the atmosphere of old scholars in the study room, and made the Qing Imperial Academy start teaching in different classes, with a distinction between enlightenment and refinement. This style of translation was also promoted by Kangxi to the Hanlin Academy, who personally selected several reading materials and asked them to translate them in the vernacular of Minzhi's style as teaching aids for the enlightenment class.

It was during this process that Kangxi came up with the idea of ​​compiling a dictionary, because Minzhi read the "San Zi Jing" word by word, taking every punctuation mark into account.If there is a book that gathers all the characters, like the "Zihui" of the previous dynasty, it is even more complete than the vocabulary, and it can be handed down from generation to generation in the future, adding a strong stroke to my literary and martial arts, it would be a beautiful thing.

After this idea germinated, those messy troubles were swept away, Kangxi began to smile, and politics was almost done. The next step is to check the results, so why not go for a walk in the mountains and rivers.

During these days at the Summer Resort, Kangxi doted on Hongzi even more, and the two were almost inseparable.And the other little elder brothers have also been taken care of by Kangxi.Scenes of Kangxi leading the children, laughing and playing, or admonishing them seriously can be seen everywhere in the villa.The two big ones, Yinzhen and Yinhu, were ignored instead.Kangxi did not summon them at all, nor did he appear in front of them, as if bringing them here was to release life.This made Yinhu dizzy, he didn't want to come here to avoid the summer heat, his wife and children were waiting for him to care about him!

However, Kangxi looked like he couldn't think of Shu, June passed, July passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner, and the old man had no intention of going back.Yinhu remembered going around in circles in her room: What happened to Huang Ama? The family banquet for the Shangyuan Festival was cancelled. Could it be that the Mid-Autumn Festival will also be over?

That night, Yinzhen, who kept the bow of the boat open, came to visit suddenly. Yinhu knew it well, and someone couldn't wait.Welcome him politely into the living room.Yinhu frowned: "Fourth brother, if you don't come, I will go to find you too. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, Huang Ama doesn't seem to plan to go back to the palace yet. Look at this..." Yinzhen paused: " I'm also thinking about this, Huang Ama has been in the villa for a long time, and he doesn't call us, he only plays with his younger brothers every day, it's very different from the past, the eighth brother thinks, what's the mystery?"

Yinhu blinked: "Huang Ama has always liked children. This time, except for you and me, all the children I brought here are children. I don't see anything wrong, and I'm not afraid of fourth brother's jokes. My thoughts are not here at all." Yinzhen Eyes narrowed: "Eighth brother, the love of children is not what Huang Ama likes to see." Yinhu smiled bitterly: "Fourth brother, I am different from you. Fourth sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, and Huang Ama is full of praise. My family's... ...Hey...but it made me a joke of the brothers...I can't go back for a while, and I don't know what she is doing!"

Just chatting without saying a word for a while, Yinzhen suddenly said: "The fourteenth brother has been trying to get close to you, but you only visit the thirteenth brother in place, why?" Yinhu squinted, he couldn't say his wife Have you always cared about Thirteenth Brother?Moreover, the thirteenth brother is an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, and he has no ill intentions towards anyone. This time, he was obviously framed by others, so he can't say a single word of these words.

However, Yinhu has his own way. He poured himself a cup of tea leisurely, and said slowly: "Fourth brother, whether you believe it or not, I recommend you." The implication is that I chose you. How could he hook up with Fourteen Luan.

Yinzhen was silent, and Yinhu was not annoyed.On the contrary, he put on a sincere expression: "Fourth brother, let me tell you a big word. We watched Thirteen grow up. His temperament will cause accidents sooner or later. Huang Ama's punishment this time is considered light. But , Aren’t you worried that he can’t figure it out?” Someone’s face froze, and it took him a long time to say a word: “He is no longer a child, so we can’t just protect him.”

Yinhu sighed melancholy: "Yes, I hope he can figure it out, being idle at home is also a kind of grace!" Yinzhen glanced at him: "If you want to idle, Huang Ama will be the first one." Buyi, have you forgotten how he admonished you? To be a minister and a son is to share the worries of the country and the family!" Yinhu smiled in his heart, but his face was full of sorrow: "But...hey...my brother will do his best! "

Sending Yinzhen away, Yinhu almost burst out laughing. To use a modern saying, he really wanted to say to Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also believe it. Wait for bad luck!"

Why did Kangxi stay at the Summer Resort and not leave?In fact, he has already received the news that Shisi was robbed and killed on the way, but the news has not been disseminated yet. A quarter of the [-] elite soldiers have been lost, and more than half of the food and grass have been robbed. Kangxi is a little bit pained, damn it Nanming's lineage is too ruthless. If you keep moving, you are adding some uncertainties to Jiangnan's game of chess, so as to speed up the corruption and replacement of officials. You really think you are an onion!
Looking out the window, Kangxi fell into deep thought, Yinzhen had suffered twice, should he hate him to death now?He is so face-saving that he is now like a mouse being chased by a cat. He can only march quickly into Sichuan in order to get rid of the siege and interception of the anti-Qing forces.The news came not too early or too late, when it was confirmed that Sisi had entered Sichuan safely, it was time for Zhen to return to the palace and dispatch troops again.

On the Tibet side, seeing that the internal consumption is almost exhausted, it is a matter of knowledge when to let Arabbutan enter Tibet. Yinzhen has no such experience, so he has to reconsider the generals in Pingzang.Before that, Yinzhen must suffer a loss first, and obediently follow the new general into Tibet. This is the most ideal process.

Now, everything is going smoothly as Kangxi hoped. In the face of major national events, he has 1 reasons to suspend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.It's a big deal to fix the son, and there are two idlers around him, so he has to think of something to do for them.
