Chapter 103 From Now On He Is Your Father
Hearing Liu Zheng's words, everyone watching was curious.
Even Queen Reguli watched with great interest, not to mention Halik and all the civil and military officials.
Huang Yantai's eyes also sparkled.
Hemuti sneered repeatedly. He could beat Master Huang to the point of imprisonment, let alone a young boy? He really didn't believe that the young man in front of him could produce such a shocking article.
Soon, someone in the palace brought paper and pen and placed them on the table in front of Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng pondered for a moment, then put down his brush, and immediately his pen moved like a dragon, with each word having force.
“Good handwriting!”
Huang Yantai couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Liu Zheng wrote in small seal script, which was the most popular font in the Longyan Dynasty. The characters were neat and square, and his personality was reflected in his writing, which revealed a kind of aloof and arrogant temperament.
Enlightenment reading material.
Liu Zheng’s first choice is “The Rules of Disciples”, followed by “Three Character Classic”, and then “Thousand Character Classic”!
Of these three books, the most comprehensive is naturally the Three Character Classic, the more profound and difficult is the Thousand Character Classic, and many people say that the Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child was written by a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, and that it is not of high literary quality and cannot be accepted by the public. In fact, this is not the case. In Liu Zheng's opinion, the Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child is even more worthy of being an enlightenment book than the Three Character Classic.
Why?
Because the knowledge points in "The Rules of Disciples" are similar to those in "Three Character Classic", but "The Rules of Disciples" was written by a person with a low level of literary literacy, which means that reading materials like "The Rules of Disciples" do not require a high level of cultural literacy from readers. As long as you can read and understand the text, you can understand it. Therefore, for the current situation where the general education level in Loulan and even the Longyan Dynasty is very poor, "The Rules of Disciples" is actually the most suitable.
In the Thousand Character Classic, it is not easy to explain the words Xuan Huang, Yu Zhou, Ying Ze without reading the annotations. I don’t even know how to read them. The first four sentences are so unfriendly that the more I read, the more ignorant I seem.
The three-foot sword, the six-jun bow, the tiger of Feng Fu, the dragon of Ye Gong, the lecture of Emperor Liang at Tongtai Temple, and the banquet of Emperor Han at Weiyang Palace all have their own stories. If you can't explain the stories clearly, you won't be able to read on. In addition, the north of the Ling Mountains, Jiangdong, the north of Hebei, Liaodong, the Three Kingdoms and the Six Dynasties, and Wuling Creek in Pengze County all involve a lot of historical, geographical and cultural knowledge, which can easily be stumped by children.
Even though the Three Character Classic is relatively easy to read, it still contains allusions such as Meng Mu's choice of neighbors and common knowledge such as the Four Rivers and Five Mountains, which many adults may not know. In comparison, the "Standards for Being a Good Pupil and Child" is full of dogma and lacks knowledge. Adults without any education can simply tell you to do this and that and end the lesson without worrying about being asked questions by children and being speechless.
In other words, parents can teach their children by reading "The Rules of Disciples" a few times.
There is no need to go to any private school or find any teacher. Only in this way can we truly achieve universal enlightenment of education!
so.
There is no doubt that for beginners, "The Rules of Being a Good Pupil and Child"! Then "Three Character Classic", then "Thousand Character Classic", then "Book of Songs", "Doctrine of the Mean", "Great Learning" and so on... Let's not talk about these for now.
Liu Zheng started writing.
"The Disciple Rules, the teachings of the sages, first filial piety and respect for elders, then prudence!"
Huang Yantai was already standing next to him. Every time Liu Zheng wrote a word, he would read it aloud.
People were very surprised when they heard this .
This kind of article with three words in one sentence was the first time they had heard of it. However, in ancient times, whether it was reading or poetry, they all paid attention to rhythm. Many people suddenly found that reading these three words in three sentences actually made people shake their heads.
then.
I only read a few sentences then.
The scene changed.
"Love all people, be close to the benevolent, and if you have spare time, study literature."
Halek began to sway.
"When your parents call you, you should respond without delay. When your parents order you to do something, you should act without laziness!"
Hemuti also shook his head.
"You must listen respectfully to your parents' teachings. You must obey your parents' instructions!"
There were many children nearby, and they also started shaking.
Then, the whole audience was stunned.
Liu Zheng wrote three words, Huang Yantai read three words, and then people followed, shaking their heads and reading three words. It was catchy and neat. Even the children on the street joined in. More and more people joined in, the voices became louder and louder, and the scene became more and more joyful.
"Keep warm in winter and cool in summer. Be mindful in the morning and calm in the evening. Always inform when you go out and always show up when you return. Live in a regular way and your work will not change!"
Finally, even Queen Reguli joined in with a smile.
Liu Zheng kept writing like this, Huang Yantai was getting more and more excited!
His mind suddenly understood the new learning of Mr. Xiang, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude! This is what he has been pursuing for more than 40 years. When he was promoting education, he was often confused. The thousands of years of Chinese culture still seemed too boring and difficult in front of those children who were just learning. Some people could only memorize it for their entire lives, but did not know its meaning. There were too many people who studied blindly.
Now he realized that they were wrong from the very beginning!
If we let those children come into contact with the Book of Songs, The Doctrine of the Mean, and The Great Learning from the very beginning, can they really understand them? Not only can they not understand them, but they will also develop a dislike for learning!
But what about Liu Zheng’s “The Rules of Disciples”?
Simple and catchy, with a clear rhythm and fun and cheerful rhyme.
“This, this, this…”
Huang Yantai's eyes were already filled with tears. He had never expected that what he had been pursuing for more than 40 years would be realized today by this young man who looked to be in his early twenties.
Enlightenment reading!
This is the enlightenment book he has always wanted! In the eyes of future generations, this may be just a small thing, but for people in this era whose thoughts are imprisoned, this difference is huge . There are countless people like Huang Yantai who have been searching for forty years but still can't find the right place.
New learning!
He suddenly became very excited. Is this the new thing he learned?
Breaking the shackles, summarizing the classics, and finding a new way, is that new learning?
He watched Liu Zheng writing furiously with such excitement.
The total length of "The Rules of Disciples" is one thousand and eighty words!
Not missing a single word!
"If it is not a holy book, do not read it. It will ruin your intelligence and ruin your mind. Do not be violent and do not abandon yourself. Saints and wise men can be tamed!"
This is the end of the article!
Everyone looked at Liu Zheng, unable to recover for a long time.
This is the case with the third prince and Rehman.
Including the Queen Reguli, when she looked at Liu Zheng who was in high spirits at this moment, her eyes were full of brilliance and sparkling.
It has to be said that Long Yan's students are the most popular in the Kingdom of Loulan. Moreover, Liu Zheng is full of vigor and vitality today, and his demeanor is dazzling. He can be said to have shocked Loulan with one battle. The girls on the street couldn't help but send him a glance.
Liu Zheng laughed and looked at Huang Yantai: "Master Huang, how is it?"
Everyone was also in shock.
They are still shaking their heads, is that the end?
Huang Yantai couldn't bear it any longer, and knelt down without saying anything, and prostrated himself on the ground: "Sir, you are so talented, Huang is convinced!"
Everyone was shocked.
Liu Zheng was also startled, and hurried forward to help Huang Yantai up, saying sincerely: "Master Huang, please don't do this, you are really embarrassing me!"
Queen Reguli also nodded and smiled: "Master Xiang, you are truly a genius!"
Civil and military officials, merchants and common people were all submissive.
Hemuti's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Since the yellow thief has already lost, he deserves to die!"
Liu Zheng hurriedly said: "My Queen, you absolutely cannot do that!"
Hemuti looked at him coldly: "Why not?"
Liu Zheng clasped his fists and took a deep breath: "My Queen, Xiang Zheng's new learning must not be separated from the old learning! The combination of the new and the old is the right way! The theory of new learning is just a concept, not a discipline. Master Huang is well-read and has great knowledge! If Master Huang is a library, Xiang Zheng's new learning is just a catalog, not worth mentioning!"
"If we want to promote new learning in Loulan, we absolutely cannot do without Master Huang!"
Civil and military officials also knelt down and agreed with Xiang Zheng.
Hemuti's face turned black. A few days ago, when he suppressed Huang Yantai and put him in prison, who dared to stand up and say a word? Now, because of the appearance of Xiang Zheng, the situation has changed. These civil and military officials actually stood on Huang Yantai's side, which means that they all chose to stand on the side of the third prince!
It was not only because Xiang Zheng had the halo of "Longyan student", but also because of the theory of "new learning" that inspired people and made them see the dawn of the rise of the Kingdom of Loulan.
educate!
Isn’t it better than believing in religion?
"Queen, Master Huang must not be killed!"
"Yes, Queen, think twice!"
Reguli was very happy, but she still had a faint smile on her face. She looked at Hemuti and said, "If that's the case, let Teacher Huang make amends for his crime. What do you think? Educating people is a major national project and should not be neglected!"
Everyone seconded the motion.
Hemuti's face darkened. Although he was unwilling, he could only clasp his fists and say, "I will obey the king's order!"
Everyone was very happy, and Huang Yantai burst into tears and quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Mr. Xiang, see you later!"
Hemuti glared at Liu Zheng fiercely and rode away on his horse.
Watching the mighty temple army leave, the third prince Halik shouted excitedly: "It's so satisfying! Look how arrogant he was a few days ago!"
Many people's faces changed drastically and they advised him to be careful with his words.
Reguli smiled and said, "Halik, why don't you thank Master Xiang?"
Halik was already familiar with Liu Zheng, and he immediately winked at him and bowed.
Liu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief at this point. He had never expected that he came here to save the slave trader Mi Re, but by chance, he saved Huang Yantai. Afterwards, Queen Reguli invited Liu Zheng to the palace and held a banquet to entertain the student from the Longyan Dynasty.
Moreover, the queen directly set up a state banquet.
This shows how much importance was attached to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng was also at a loss for words. Sure enough, anyone who could become a queen would not be an ordinary person. She wanted to use "Xiang Zheng" to unite those who were pro-Han, surround the third prince, and use them to fight against Hemuti and the temple.
According to Loulan law, a new king must ascend the throne one month after the king's death.
Now there is nearly half a month left. Reguli is extremely happy that the Third Prince can hold his head up under the suppression of the Seventh Prince. She even personally toasted Liu Zheng with a few glasses of wine.
At the banquet, there was singing and dancing. A group of Loulan beauties twisted their graceful waists, which was a feast for the eyes.
However, what Liu Zheng did not expect was.
After Reguli drank a few glasses of wine and looked even more charming and seductive, she suddenly brought Halik to Liu Zheng and smiled charmingly: "Kneel down!"
Although Halik didn't understand why, he obediently knelt in front of Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng was enjoying the singing and dancing, and was startled by this scene. He jumped up and said, "What, Queen, what do you want to do?"
Reguli smiled and looked at Liu Zheng: "Halik, kowtow three times. From now on, Mr. Xiang is your father!"
puff!
ah?
I go?
Liu Zheng sprayed.
The whole audience was shocked.
Reguli then realized her slip of the tongue, and her pretty face immediately blushed, looking incredibly beautiful: "No, I mean, from now on, Mr. Xiang, I will be your teacher. Once a teacher, always a father, right, Master Huang?"
Huang Yantai nodded blankly.
Queen, you accidentally spoke out your true feelings. Isn't that a bit too much?
Should I say yes or no?
