The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Lu Deming took a sip from the cup.

"Hmm? Something new." Lu Deming smiled and said, "It seems that you should let the young princes come to your house often in the future, so that you can get more good things."

These days, sugar is so precious. Children like to eat sweet things, and the elderly also like it.

But old man Lu's physical fitness is very strong now.

He didn't have a chronic disease like Du Ruhui.

When I first met old man Lu, his body was not so strong.

Now look at old man Lu's physical fitness and mental state.

It's a sign of longevity.

Very good, the longer you live, the better.

After outliving other great scholars, old man Lu's words have more weight.

All great scholars, when they live to the end, will compete for a life span. Whoever lives longer will be more knowledgeable, and whose words will be more respected.

Many people associate longevity with morality, believing that those who live long must be blessed by God and have high moral character.

As for those who die young, if they have a good reputation, they will say that God is jealous of their talent.

For those who have a bad reputation, then... that's it.

Anyway, the words are not very nice, and they are all spread privately.

You can't say in front of your family and relatives that you are not a good person, and you are punished by God? You died young, right?

You deserve it, right?

Then you will have to fight.

"It takes a flash of inspiration to come up with something new." Li Fu said with a smile: "But Old Lu, look at you now, lying under the shade of a tree, with food and drink, you are taking care of their lessons today..."

"You think the weather is hot and don't want the little princes to suffer." Lu Deming said with a smile: "Well, you have done this, how can I, as a teacher, be harsh on my students? It's like eating someone's mouth soft."

"Okay, let's have today's class like this, everyone lies here, comfortable, teaching is comfortable, and learning is not painful." Li Fu said with a smile.

Lu Deming was stunned, and then laughed.

"I was thinking that you bribed me like this to exempt me from today's lessons, Huairen, it has to be you."

"Ah this..."

I know you are easy to talk to, but I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to.

"It is definitely not possible to exempt them. Children are so smart at this age. It is a good time for them to study. How can we delay them? We can't delay anyone but the children." Li Fu said with a smile.

"Okay." Lu Deming smiled and nodded, looking at Li Chengqian and the others with a helpless doting look in his eyes.

"Just now, your uncle Wang told you about Kuang Heng and Shi Xian. Do you know what happened?" Lu Deming asked.

"Just now, Uncle Wang said that Kuang Heng drilled a hole in the wall to steal light, studied hard, and finally became a high-ranking official, but he did go astray." Li Chengqian said: "In the end, he became corrupt with Shi Xian, excluded dissidents, and occupied good farmland."

"Besides that?" Lu Deming asked.

"Besides that? What else?" Li Fu asked.

"Huairen, you don't read this book thoroughly. You can't just read miscellaneous notes. You don't read serious events, right?" Lu Deming smiled and said, "It seems that the class today is not only for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others. Huairen, you can also listen."

"Then I have to be humble and learn." Li Fu bowed his hands.

Lu Deming smiled and nodded, and then slowly spoke.

"Kuang Heng was born in Lanling. He was poor since childhood and made a living by working for his neighbors. Although the conditions and environment were difficult, he was diligent and studious since he was a child. He helped with farm work during the day and took the opportunity to rest at night to study hard."

The children nodded as they listened.

It turned out that they really worked during the day and had time to study at night. So why not study during the day when the sun can see clearly.

It's really not easy. You have to work to support yourself and study hard.

But why did you forget your original intention later?

Or, could it be that he studied so hard just to become a superior person, and that was his original intention?

Then he was too much, wasn't he?

"Oil lamps were expensive, and Kuang Heng couldn't afford them, but his neighbor's house was brightly lit all night, so he came up with such a way, to drill a hole in the wall, and read books with the light coming through the hole. Year after year, he read all the classic books such as "The Book of Songs" and "The Book of Filial Piety".

Because he had a thorough understanding of the Book of Songs, he could make the listeners suddenly enlightened and happy. Over time, people around him rushed to spread his praises, and his reputation became more and more famous.

When talking about poetry, Kuang Heng came, and Kuang talked about poetry, which made people laugh."

Now Lu Deming gives lectures to children in a simple and easy-to-understand way, hoping to make children more curious about his classes,With curiosity and the desire for knowledge, students will naturally listen to what the master says.

It is much better than forcing them to understand the knowledge in the book.

Especially with the stories of the ancients, it is perfect for students to understand and make sense.

Therefore, when he first entered the courtyard, he heard Li Fu talking about Kuang Heng, and he took advantage of this to let the prince and others understand the truth.

"Kuang Heng has accumulated a good reputation for himself and benefited a lot in the examination of the Six Classics."

"If we really want to talk about knowledge, there are many people who are more knowledgeable than Kuang Heng. He took nine exams, but his results were not very good. He only passed the third category and was awarded the lowest position.

But Kuang Heng was very lucky. At that time, Emperor Yuan of Han advocated Confucianism to govern the country. He took a fancy to Kuang Heng, who was proficient in Confucianism, and made an exception to promote him to a doctor and add the position of Jieshizhong."

In this way, he went from a literary clerk to a doctor.

It is the same as Lu Deming's current title. Lu Deming is a doctor of the Imperial Academy.

"After becoming a minister, he seized his specialty of explaining the Book of Songs and made steady progress. That year, a solar eclipse occurred in Chang'an. He quoted the Book of Songs to cater to the emperor's wishes and advised the emperor that natural disasters had caused great losses to the country, and the palace should be thrifty and not be decorated with luxury. Now we can take this opportunity to vigorously promote the style of courtesy and benevolence, reuse good officials with both virtue and talent, and dismiss the sarcastic and corrupt officials."

"At this time, Kuang Heng was still simple and upright. I am afraid that he would not Thinking of what he would become like later.

Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty valued Kuang Heng, looked up to him, loved him, promoted him to Guanglu Dafu, and concurrently served as the Prince's Tutor. "

"Later, after Prime Minister Wei Xuancheng died of illness, Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty let him act as Prime Minister, and conferred him the title of Le'an Hou, to assist the emperor in managing the government.

Kuang Heng went from a poor scholar to a prime minister in the court in less than 20 years. "

"In his poor family and limited conditions, he achieved such a level just by studying the Book of Songs. It is amazing." Li Fu sighed.
