Chapter 34: Is 'Heaven and Earth' serious?
The middle-aged group headed by Zhu Zhi was greatly surprised to hear Zhu Yunhuan openly ridiculing Zhu Yunwen.
I was particularly interested in the concept of palace test-takers he proposed.
"Hey, you don't like Zhu Yunwen either?"
"We remember you weren't like this before..."
When Zhu Yunhuan heard Zhu Zhi's words, he immediately asked back.
"I used to like Zhu Yunwen very much?"
Zhu Zhi didn't respond, but Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick nodded like chicks pecking at rice. Da Congming, who had just proposed to become brothers of the opposite sex, even explained a few words.
"I can't say I like him, but I don't dare to refute him. I am always submissive to him, as if I am afraid of offending him..."
"In fact, this is also the reason why we looked down on you before."
"I feel like you're too cowardly. You have a biological elder brother, but you recognize a stepmother's son as your elder brother..."
Da Congming even nodded towards Prince of Yu Zhu Gui.
"It's the same with Thirteenth Brother. He is about the same age as your eldest brother, and they had a very good relationship when they were young. After your eldest brother passed away, he was said to have cried his heart out."
"When you first came to study at the Great Hall, Thirteenth Brother took good care of you. But later, when he saw you getting too close to Zhu Yunwen and the others, he thought you had forgotten your roots, so he gradually distanced himself from you."
"But to be honest, it's true that Thirteenth Brother has never bullied you."
When Zhu Yunhuan heard this, he felt as if his head exploded.
"What's going on? I have a biological brother?"
Da Congming looked at Zhu Yunhuan and saw that he did not seem to be faking it, so he explained.
"You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
"Your dear elder brother Zhu Xiongying, he is the well-deserved eldest grandson of the Emperor of our Ming Dynasty!"
"Tell me in detail, just tell me about my eldest brother!"
At this moment, a majestic "cough" was heard from the main hall.
When Dacongming heard the voice, he immediately pointed to the front and sat up straight.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunhuan had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and pretend to be a good boy.
But now his entire body and mind were occupied by the big brother who suddenly appeared.
I actually have an older brother?
It turns out that Zhu Yunwen is not the eldest grandson of the emperor...
Then why should I be the second one!
No, I have to give the second position back to him and let him be the second for a thousand years!
Qi Tai sat down in the teacher's seat, coughed, and when he saw that everyone had finally quieted down, he began to examine the homework.
"Zhu Yunwen!"
When Zhu Yunwen's name was called, he immediately stepped forward with the book in his hand and bowed respectfully to Qi Tai.
"Zhu Yunwen pays respect to Mr. Qi."
Qi Tai looked at the polite Zhu Yunwen, and the balance in his heart tilted again.
well!
Be stupid if you want to. It may not be a good thing for an heir to be too smart.
Qi Tai felt a little emotional and immediately asked about Zhu Yunwen's homework.
"Have you read any books recently?"
"Sir, I have been busy keeping vigil for my father and have not read a book."
Upon hearing this, Qi Tai nodded and affirmed Zhu Yunwen's filial piety.
"Filial piety is the first of all virtues. Being able to practice filial piety is also a manifestation of learning."
"You should recite your previous lessons first."
"yes!"
"The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue, to love the people, and to stop at the highest good..."
As Zhu Yunwen recited, Qi Tai tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. Only when Zhu Yunwen made a mistake would he correct him and let him start over again.
It was not until Zhu Yunwen finished reciting the poem that Qi Tai asked him if he still remembered the meaning of the poem.
Zhu Yunwen explained it once, and Qi Tai saw that there was no deviation, so he asked him to turn to the next article.
Qi Tai first recited it once, and asked Zhu Yunwen to recite it silently while comparing it with the content in the book, and asked him to mark the punctuation first.
Then he asked Zhu Yunwen to read it in front of him and checked whether there were any problems with his punctuation. After confirming that there were no problems, he began to explain the essence of the article to him, asked him if he had any doubts, and helped him solve them at any time until he had no new questions. Only then was the lesson considered completed.
After Zhu Yunwen finished his lecture, he returned to his seat to recite the article and understand its essence.
The second person Qi Tai called up was Zhu Yunwen, and he also followed the same process, but compared to Zhu Yunwen, he was less concerned and more focused on following the rules.
"You have already learned the Hundred Family Names. Just recite them from the beginning."
"Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang..."
Qi Tai nodded with satisfaction, then assigned him new homework, sent him off, and called on Zhu Yunhuan's name.
Zhu Yunhuan was watching the fun and for a moment he didn't realize that he was called.
He found Qi Tai's teaching interesting. It was not like what was shown in TV dramas, where a dozen princes recited the same article with their heads shaking . Instead, each person taught different content.
But think about it, you can't let junior high school students learn the same things as elementary school students, right?
That would not only insult junior high school students, but also bully elementary school students.
It was not until Zhu Zhi kicked him that he came to his senses and walked towards the podium empty-handed.
When Qi Tai saw that Zhu Yunhuan came up empty-handed, a black line immediately appeared on his forehead.
This kid is too arrogant. Could it be that he has memorized the entire book and came here just to challenge me?
"Zhu Yunxun, where is your book?"
"Book?"
Zhu Yunhuan was stunned on the spot, and then asked in confusion.
“Do I need to bring books to school?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall burst into laughter.
The black lines on Qi Tai's forehead became more and more numerous amid the laughter of those naughty kids.
Just as everyone was laughing, a familiar voice was heard outside the main hall.
"Your Highness, I have brought your bookcase here!"
Wang De stood breathlessly at the door of the main hall. When he saw Mr. Qi Tai looking at him, he hurriedly bowed to Qi Tai, then took out a book from the bookcase and handed it respectfully to his prince.
After doing all this, Wang De also made a few excuses for his own prince.
"Please forgive me, Mr. Qi. My prince fainted from crying in the mourning hall yesterday. The imperial physician diagnosed him with soul-leaving syndrome. He can't remember many things from the past..."
When Qi Tai heard the word “I can’t remember”, a look of alert immediately appeared on his face.
Among the princes and grandchildren of the Zhu family, few of them love reading, and they always find various reasons and excuses to avoid memorizing.
Over the years, he had no idea how many lies he had exposed.
Therefore, when he heard Wang De say this, a look of doubt immediately appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Wang De quickly added another sentence.
"Your Majesty also knew about this, and it was Your Majesty who ordered someone to find the imperial physician, and the chief physician Hao from the Imperial Hospital treated him."
When Qi Tai heard Wang De say this, the doubt on his face disappeared.
If there is one person that the princes and grandchildren of the Zhu family fear the most, it must be the current emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor is a man who does not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. No matter who dares to cheat in front of him, he will be exposed on the spot and severely punished.
Therefore, when Qi Tai heard that the emperor knew about this matter and had specially invited Imperial Physician Hao to treat the disease, he no longer doubted the truth of the matter.
"I see... No wonder His Highness Zhu Yunhuan looks so strange..."
"Zhu Yunxun, you learned the Thousand Character Classic before, I wonder if you still remember it?"
When Qi Tai saw Zhu Yunhuan shaking his head, he immediately gave him a head start.
"The sky and earth are dark yellow..."
"Do you have any impression this time?"
When Zhu Yunhuan heard these four words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I know this!"
Qi Tai felt relieved when he saw this, because he felt something was wrong. Most people with soul-dissociation syndrome are stimulated and forget important things. How is it possible that they forget everything they learned before?
"Now that you know it, just keep reciting it."
After Qi Tai said this, he closed his eyes again, tapped his fingers on the table, and waited for Zhu Yunhuan to recite the Thousand Character Classic.
However, when Zhu Yunhuan opened his mouth, Qi Tai's face immediately turned dark.
"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang refers to the Tianji Kungfu, Diji Kungfu, Xuanji Kungfu, and Huangji Kungfu..."
"In Douqi Continent, martial arts is respected."
"This is a world of fighting spirit. There is no fancy magic. What we have is only fighting spirit that has been cultivated to its peak!"
"Fighter, Fighting Master, Great Fighting Master, Fighting Spirit, Fighting King, Fighting Emperor, Fighting Sect, Fighting Lord, Fighting... The three stages of fighting power..."
"Don't despise the young man for being poor?"
Zhu Yunhuan watched as Qi Tai's face grew darker and darker, and his voice became lower and lower, with a hint of uncertainty.
Did I understand it wrongly? There shouldn’t be a "Fights Break Sphere" in the Ming Dynasty, right?
"Sir, what you just said is the real 'Heaven and Earth'?"
"What do you think?"
