34, Holy oracles
How can it be easy to hide your talent?
"The zhilan and orchid trees can only become successful after being blown by wind and rain. The sword is sharpened by sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. My nephews still need to be as sharp as cutting, as polished as polished..."
Mr. Zhu refused without hesitation.
What he meant was that my nephews still needed to learn and become successful.
"It's like cutting like a craft, like a crafting like a grinding." The phrase comes from "The Book of Songs·Weifeng·Qi'ao". This sentence is very interesting. Its original meaning is to make bones, ivory, jade, and stones into objects. The extended meaning is that a gentleman's cultivation is like a bone processing tool. After cutting it, it has to be polished again and again, just like processing jade tools. After polishing it, it has to be polished carefully.
They don’t learn enough, so wait for the next time.
My view of them is like a gentleman, and it needs to be polished more.
The expression of the Gu County Magistrate remained unchanged. Mr. Zhu said it very cleverly, leaving him a step. He beat him up and exposed the matter.
Some things cannot be refused by explicitly refusing. He directly let these teenagers pass the county examination. This fact has fallen. After becoming a fact, you have to help if you don’t help... Unless the four people’s test papers are impeccable, it will ruin your reputation.
What's more, Mr. Zhu did not refuse explicitly, but was playing a maneuver with him.
How could ordinary people who were isolated by the yamen runners' official licences be able to understand the content of scholars' communication? Unconsciously, Master Qingtian had already talked with Mr. Zhu about the dirty deal in secret...
...
The Confucian Temple, also known as the Confucius Temple.
In front of the Confucian Temple, there are several people-high stone Lingxing Gate and the horse-distance stone next to the door. Lingxing Gate is the door used for decoration of the emperor's tombs. Because Confucius was named King Wenxuan during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the Confucius Temple also used the imperial specifications.
The dismount stone carved "Civil and military officials dismounted here."
Entering the halberd gate means "swords, guns, swords, and halberds do not enter this gate". When you pass through the door and the screen wall, you will see a half-moon-shaped pond, which is Pan Pond. According to the Zhou rites, the princes called Pan Palace, which cannot be higher than the Emperor's Piyong (Taixue), so the Confucius Temple only has half-face water, and there is a stone arch bridge on it.
In front of the temple, there is a simple futon on the steps.
Mr. Zhu sat cross-legged on the cushion. The square below the steps was filled with gentry from the county. The people. The first three rows were where the gentry were, with embroidered clothes, neat and orderly. Behind were ordinary people, dressed shabby and monotonous, mostly dirty and messy, and surprised that they were silent. Because there were yamen runners next to maintain the discipline of the venue, they did not dare to speak out.
"One, I am filial and brotherly to value human ethics. My Holy Ancestor Ren Emperor was in power for 61 years. The Dharma ancestor respected his relatives and had no filial piety. He appointed the book "Yanyi of the Book of Filial Piety" to interpret the scriptures and interpret the meanings and principles in detail. It is nothing more than the meaning of filial piety in the world. Therefore, the sixteen sages of the Holy Ancestors are the first to open up the beginning of filial piety."
"I have achieved great achievements, pursue the past and promote the idea of establishing education..."
Mr. Zhu educated the emperor on behalf of the emperor, so everyone in the square was solemn. The gentry in the front row listened with relish, while the people in the back row did not understand their intentions.
As Mr. Zhu translated it into vernacular language, the audience suddenly realized it.
This sentence was said by Emperor Yongzheng.
Emperor Shengzu Ren was the Emperor Shengzu Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
Bai Gui and the others sat together with the students of Bailu Academy. The students of Bailu Academy are basically scholars, and there are rare people who have no fame or fortune.
The scholars of the Qing Dynasty were not as comfortable as those of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to facilitate the management of a large number of students, the sixth-level promotion and demotion method was born on the basis of the advantages and disadvantages of the students in the sixth-level test in the Ming Dynasty. According to the assessment of the student's grades in each year's test, students in each prefecture, prefecture, and county were divided into sixth-level promotion and demotion. Those with smooth literature and science were ranked first, those with smooth literature and science were also ranked second, those with slightly literacy and science were ranked third, those with flaws in literature and science were fourth, those with absurd literature and science were absurd literature and science, and those with poor literature and science were all rewarded. Those with first, second and third-level precedents were punished and demoted.
Therefore, compared with the previous dynasty, the overall level of scholars in the Qing Dynasty was relatively higher.
An elderly student heard Mr. Zhu's speech on interpreting the sages and Guangxun, while the young men next to him were a little difficult to understand, so he signaled with his eyes and asked the students who were close to him to hand over the book "Sacred and Guangxun".
All are going silently.
Although the Qing Dynasty is now in its twilight, its ruling power is still very strong at the grassroots level, especially the mainland. Because there are common ports and concessions in various places, it penetrates into all aspects...
For example, the Wuchang First Agencies is also because Wuchang is a trading port.
Although the content of the Holy Edict and Guangxu is full of Yongzheng's tone to remind everyone, it is still mixed with many comments from the Four Books and Five Classics and Zhu Xi to clarify the meaning of the scriptures. This is also the most orthodox official explanation of the Four Books and Five Classics.
It seems that the sages and broad exhortations are just merely in the meaning, but they are all tricks.
The book book in Bai Gui's hand was an old book with various annotations written in fly heads. He suddenly became interested. This was the insights and experiences of these scholars, so he planned to borrow more books from these scholars these days and learn their experiences.
The notes of academic masters and top scorers in the college entrance examination questions in previous life were so popular. Are these academic masters better than what the teacher said? Some of them are really quicker and simpler to solve the questions with another idea!
Although the explanation of the sages and eulogies that Mr. Zhu talked about was very clear, he could not remember anything without a manual comparison in his hand.
Routine education has been underway for more than an hour.
The warm sun is in full swing.
There are also some people in the back row who are unable to stand firmly and fall on the ground, which should be due to ischemia.
But no one moved. Even though he was merciful, when preaching the imperial edict, it was like reciting the imperial edict. You must listen respectfully. Whoever dared to set off to help his neighbor easily would be a life-despair!
Seeing someone fainted, Mr. Zhu was also a little anxious and his speech was faster.
Wait until the end of the speech.
The Gu County Magistrate, who had long noticed the movement, immediately directed the yamen runners to pour the prepared sugar water into the mouths of the people who fainted. This was a large porcelain jar containing brown sugar water.
"If you can faint, it must be because your stomach is short of oil and water, so you can't stand it anymore."
"It was the tail of winter. I ate all the winter food and had nothing to eat, so I could only starve and get frozen."
“…”
In the long-silent Confucian Temple, it was like a noisy vegetable market in an instant.
There were a few close scholars. Bai Gui saw that the one who handed them the book, went up to help Mr. Zhu walk down the steps. It was also a hard work to preach and educate. It was like a statue of a solemn treasure.
Mr. Zhu's legs were a little stiff, and he walked down the steps and eased a lot.
"County Master, this is necessary to open Guangji warehouses, open warehouses and release grains, and help the poor people."
Mr. Zhu whispered to the Gu County Magistrate, "In a few days, the snow on the mountain will melt, and you will be able to eat on the mountain and also fill your hunger."
Although there was no disaster in Zishui County last year, poor families could not save up food even after working hard for a year. Every spring is the most difficult time to open up.
"Brother Meng Zhou said."
Surprisingly, the Gu County Magistrate did not refuse, but looked sad and joyful, and nodded to say yes.
In the next few days, the Gu County Magistrate took this opportunity to ask the wealthy families in the county to donate grain and collect grain, and also asked the county yamen runners to go to the countryside to collect grain, using the excuse to provide relief and disaster relief.
After taking measures, the large households were reduced and the ancient county magistrates were richer, but they also added half a bag of food to the poor people.
