Chapter 182(1/2)
Yinzhen had a cold face throughout the whole process, and he couldn't express his feelings in his heart. Seeing that he had no reaction, the other young princes always had a cold face and did not dare to get close to him.
Yinzuo curled his lips and subconsciously became a little farther away from Yinzhi.
Just like he always complained to Concubine De: the fourth brother is always cold like a hard rock, without any human feelings, and his son dares not come to him to play with. Every time he looks for him, he asks about his studies. It's so boring.
The third prince Yinzhi poked Yinzhen and signaled him: What's wrong with you?
Yinreng also brought Yinzhen with him and asked him with a smile: "Why don't you say a word in the fourth brother?"
Due to the presence of the Grand Tutors, Yinzhen's eyes fell on him as if nothing had happened, and replied crisply: "My brother is stupid, so he realized what the Prince's Second Brother teaches. He has not yet reminisced about the North and South Poles and repels the same poles."
Khan Ama said that he was stupid, so he was stupid. Being stupid is not a bad thing. When he grew up, he would benefit a lot. Why should he strive for the first place?
Only the childish little doll who acts in a state of mind will be fooled by the prince and will challenge the question.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhi quietly stretched out his foot and stepped on Yinzhen's feet, glaring at him several times: You are pretending to be stupid again, the second brother of the prince likes you so much, you are still pretending to be stupid.
Yinzhen was stiff and turned around and stepped back with one foot, which made Yinzhi tremble and even more angry.
He didn't want to be as knowledgeable as the third brother, but the third brother firmly thought he was smarter than him, which added a lot of obstacles to Yinzhen's behavior of trying to avoid trouble.
What's the problem? It's all because the prince always comes to him for nothing and ignores the third brother!
Yinzuo was not close to Yinzhen, but had a good relationship with the other two young princes. He was lively and naughty and could not stand the most. As long as he was willing to play with him, he would be happy to share with others. Whether it was the fifth prince or the seventh prince, he could get along with him.
Even if he encounters problems in his studies, he will ask Yinzhi and will not come to Yinzhen on his own initiative, which shows how disliked Yinzhen.
Yinzhen felt that he had been reborn and had no use at all, and he was used to serve as a foil for the prince.
But he was unable to ask him, an adult who had been an emperor, and he was serious and serious in nature to let go and coax his younger brother, play with his younger brothers and play with them to pile up blocks and absorb iron stones.
Yinreng's class continued. He stroked his paws over Yinzhen's head with satisfaction. Every younger brother had been rubbed and praised every younger brother in his mouth.
"The third brother is already like a brother, he is becoming more and more mature and steady, and knows how to analyze and reason, which is great!"
"Although my fifth brother's mother tongue is Mongolian, his Chinese skills are much better than Gu's imagination. It can be seen that you work very hard in class and work hard in the future to integrate the languages of several ethnic groups. Gu always made mistakes when he first learned the language. It's okay, calm down and accumulate little by little. Time will give you the best feedback, and quantitative change will produce qualitative changes."
"My sixth brother is very good at doing things. When Gu saw you for the first time, he thought he was a straightforward and careless child. Unexpectedly, you were thick and thin. When he was doing the suspension test, Gu saw that you took care of Xiaoqi the most. It can be seen that you will be a gentle and careful child in the future." As he said that, Yinreng rubbed Yinzuo again.
The sixth brother said to him with a blushing face and his ears were blushing. It was obvious that he was rarely praised so directly. A hint of shyness appeared on his red face.
"The seventh brother is the youngest. Professor Gu Today's content is actually suitable for children over five years old. It is still a bit difficult for you to understand, but I didn't expect that you have learned thoroughly. You are a smart and insightful child. Gu thinks that with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to challenge the successful exam and get the small gift that Gu prepared for you!"
All the younger brothers praised it. It was Yinzhen, who had a paralyzed face. Yinreng smiled and pinched his face. Instead of praising him, he said to him: "Gu likes the fourth brother the most. Don't be sad, it's okay to be stupid. Gu will make up for you."
He took the word "make up" very seriously. After speaking, Yinzhen felt as if he was feeling uncomfortable. From the third to the seventh, he was looking at him with strange eyes.
Yinzhi: I knew there would be this happening.
Yinzuo: So that's it, so it's actually like this.
Yinqi: Ah, ah... The fourth brother is so scheming.
Yinzhen suddenly hit the storm of Xiaodouding and his whole body was in a bad mood.
The prince's hand pressed on his shoulder was as heavy as a thousand gold, and the threat of his eyes was filled with a sense of regret.
Next time I don’t help coax my brother together, I will give you another push to the forefront of the situation and let you taste the feeling that my brothers hate you.
Yinzhen's forehead leaped with blue veins and he grinded his teeth secretly: Don't think I'm just afraid of you, the clay man is still angry!
Yinreng raised his eyebrows: Then you bite me? You bite me?
He glanced at Yinzhen's empty front teeth.
Yinzhi: "..."
The tutors were still watching! Yinreng couldn't help but the tutors noticed something strange, cleared their throats, and continued: "Everything in the world has shadows of repulsing and attracting each other. Just as the saying goes, "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers." In fact, there is another sentence later, "Unless one male and one mother."
He was rarely naughty and blinked, which attracted the laughter of his younger brothers.
"Of course, governing the country can also be explained by this principle. If two ministers with independent and capable nature are sent to do a major event and they have their own opinions, they must fight. But if a minister who is good at transferring office and a minister who is good at managing and assisting the government, then this matter will be completed under their cooperation."
"Actually, we humans live like a magnet. Some things repel us and some things attract us. The reason for repelling and attracting each other is very intriguing. Of course, it is not absolute, because we love learning, and our third brother also loves learning. We two are attracted to each other, right?"
Yinzhi teased him and suddenly turned red. No matter whether he nodded, he would not be: Anyway, as long as the second brother of the prince said it, it would be correct.
"Now, Gu wants to assign after-class homework to his younger brothers. Let's find out what other phenomena are in life that are repulsive and different extremes are attracted to each other. Is it related to what we call Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams? What is the mystery between them? You can think about it. Paper homework, Gu hopes that everyone can copy the mutual generation and restraint of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements and recite it. If you don't understand these, you can go to Master Tang Bin, ask the interpretation of Confucian classics on mutual attraction and restraint, find Master Xiong Cilu, and ask him about the knowledge of "The Book of Changes".
The homework that Yinreng left was very simple. He copied and recited the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. This was not difficult for the young princes who had already started to recite the Book of Songs. However, it was difficult. He tempted everyone to take the initiative to learn from the Taifu, cultivate their curiosity, so that they no longer passively learn, but to read and ask about learning by themselves.
Tang Bin stroked his beard and exclaimed: "Your Highness is doing a good job of throwing bricks and attracting jade!"
Not only did he raise his interest in "science", he also asked them to take the initiative to learn Confucian classics and study the Zhouyi.
Look at the young men's enthusiasm, there is no way they feel when they are forced to recite the text on weekdays.
Zhang Ying thought to herself: "This teaching method is very suitable for children who are prone to one's temperament and have difficulty concentrating."
"Maybe this is how His Highness came here. He is guiding his younger brothers to ask questions and read books."
"If you haven't learned all the words yet, in order to find the answer to the question, they will learn the words themselves."
Several Taifu looked at each other, and seemed to have some understanding of the reason why the prince’s lectures were so "hot" and "very popular".
It is not enough to teach the young prince, just studying and reasoning with them, and it also needs to be vivid and interesting.
Whether the classroom can be vivid and interesting and substituted is the ability that every teacher who enlightens children and teaches young children needs to temper!
"I have benefited a lot from listening to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's class. No wonder my grandson doesn't like to read and write with me."
"Only children understand children the best. We are all old and have long forgotten the feeling when we first started."
Li Guangdi recalled his childhood experiences, and the shadows in his memory were blurred in the years. The former teachers had turned into a handful of loess, and he himself had gray hair and even his grandson.
After Yinreng got off class, he asked his younger brothers to play with magnets in groups. He gave them all kinds of small rectangular magnets so that they could play like building blocks. According to the theory of homosexual repulsion, they could even carefully build two or three layers of suspended iron.
He came to the Taifu and asked the Taifu what he thought about this class.
Tang Bin nodded and said, "Your Highness's lesson is vivid and interesting, suitable for children's enlightenment, but your Highness always seems to attach great importance to the lesson of 'science'."
Yinreng replied: "'Science' is also a science, a science that can be 'adopted to the world', which is similar to the study of things and knowledge we have learned. Its purpose is to clarify the understanding of all things in the world. Understand science, you can use science, gain knowledge, open your horizons, drive away ignorance, and advocate rational view of the laws of all things. This is a science that is beneficial to students and the country. If you can promote this science, it is another good science that can be used for education."
When it comes to education, Tang Bin personally experienced the difficulties of education. After thinking for a long time, he took the initiative to ask Yinreng: "Can you tell me more details about what science is?"
"Science is the study of exploring the laws of nature. It has many categories, including natural sciences, such as mathematics, astronomy, geography, etc., as well as social sciences, such as politics, wealth, history, law, etc., as well as thinking. For example, the Neo-Confucianism and philosophy we have learned belong to science. This is a great subject, which can include all the content we have learned."
When Yinreng talked about the great knowledge that formed his huge world outlook, he was very excited. He felt like a fire-giving person. He wanted to pass on the "teaching" whenever he saw him.
After the class was over, the tutors called the gentleman and took the little brothers away to continue other courses. The four of them surrounded the prince and followed him to Yuqing Palace. After listening to His Highness the prince's lobbying, he added a "science" course to the study room.
"Gu has taught science to his third and fourth brothers. The most they are chemistry and physics, and of course they also teach some mathematics. The third and fourth brothers can learn, and Gu is of course treating other younger brothers equally. The brothers learn well and have talent to learn, so they can help Khan Ama share the burden, which is also beneficial to the Qing Dynasty."
The Grand Tutors did not think that there was anything wrong with His Royal Highness’s words. Tang Bin, who was noble and honest, felt extremely proud to teach such an excellent and selfless student.
However, Zhang Ying was secretly worried in his heart: the prince was not careful about his younger brothers, but instead looked forward to his brothers being excellent, so he was not afraid that his brothers would pass by him and become his threat, so that the position of crown prince would be lost?
Not only was he not afraid, he was also worried about his younger brothers' education!
Yinreng originally thought it would be very difficult for him to convince the Taifu to open up a new knowledge to the princes, but he never expected that it would happen naturally, because he wanted to have a lesson on his younger brother and a new opportunity emerged.
The other tutors may be a little easier to speak. Tang Bin, the "teacher director" who was appointed by Khan Ama to cultivate the prince's temperament, had to pass this hurdle.
Although he knew that Tang Bin liked him very much, Yinreng was still a little upset in his heart when facing the serious face of the teacher.
Tang Bin chuckled and said, "The old minister has something to say to His Highness the Crown Prince alone."
After hearing this, the other three consciously said goodbye and left. They had no choice but to leave Tang Bin to ask Yinreng for instructions, intending to return to Yuqing Palace with him for a detailed discussion.
When Yinreng heard that it was a private conversation, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed: It's good to talk privately, and if you talk privately, you can do whatever you want! Because when there is no one else, the Taifu is the most relaxed and closest to him.
I saw Tang Bin calm down, sit face to face with Yinreng, and talk about his past in detail.
"Your Highness may not know that before the old minister was ordered to come to the capital to teach you, the old minister had been the governor of Jiangsu. The governor of Jiangsu before the old minister was named Yu Guozhu."
Tang Bin's low words made Yinreng's eyes slightly widen: "Yu Guozhu?"
"Yu Guozhu has good abilities in his work, but his moral character is hampered," Tang Bin said: "When the old minister took over as the governor of Jiangsu, extravagance was prevalent there. Women went out to the streets to wear gold and silver, compete with each other, and the lives of the powerful were extravagant and wasted, and the people were living in a difficult situation. I think your highness also guessed it. During his tenure as the governor of Jiangsu, Yu Guozhu embezzled and accepted bribes, and committed favoritism for several years. The Wei minister spent a lot of effort to rectify it, and gradually won the hearts of the people. Perhaps it was because the Wei ministers had a great reputation among the literati, and the emperor promoted the Wei minister to the capital to take office."
Yinreng’s favorite thing was to listen to the story of the Grand Tutor. He sat upright and listened to Tang Bin recalling the past.
"The local people believe in the Five Gods. When a woman is sick, the person who cheats said that the Five Gods want to call him to be a wife, and some people believe it."
Yinreng couldn't help but stretched his neck: "What? The Taifu educated the local people and made them no longer believe in the Five-Tire Gods?"
Tang Bin sighed lightly: "I destroyed the Wutong Temple, strictly prohibited the worship of the Wutong God, and built a school to educate them. Even so, it took nearly five years to implement it. During this period, people came to the yamen and courts to complain about their grievances almost every day, and old ministers could not go on the road alone, because once they were discovered, they would be smashed with vegetables and stones. They cursed me for destroying their gods and cursed me for being retribution. The rich and powerful, seeing that it was difficult for me to get benefits through bribery, all said that I was ignorant of raising me and were in a difficult position with me everywhere."
"There is your ability to be able to manage Jiangsu in an orderly manner during your tenure."
Tang Bin shook his head and said, "How dare you take this praise? The emperor brought the old minister into the capital. The place in Jiangsu has just cleaned up. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality! As soon as I left, I left a mess for the people who came later. If that person is honest and honest, he will work harder than the old minister. If he also has bad intentions, I am afraid that everything the old minister did before will be in vain."
"Jiangsu Governor Ding Sikong," Yinreng's eyes were bright: "He did not disappoint the expectations of the Grand Tutor, he managed Jiangsu better."
"But Ding Sikong was impeached by the court for building a school to waste money and lose money," Tang Bin said: "Jiangsu is already a place where the atmosphere is open. It took two governors to rectify the old customs. In the past ten years, how many years do you think it will take for you to promote science and popularize education in the Qing Dynasty?"
"No matter how many years it takes or how much resistance there is, this path is correct. If you don't leave, you will come back and leave in the future. If you leave, you will accumulate in advance and reduce the loss of change." Yinreng smiled and said, "The Taifu asked about this, and I think he had already agreed to add science classes to my younger brothers in the study room."
Tang Bin refused to comment. He reminded Yinreng: "Your Highness is still young and energetic. You take the path you think is correct. If you go on one road, you ignore the thorns and dangers on the road. Of course, your path may be right, but you have not added anything to protect yourself, so you have no power to confront danger."
"Just like I was the first to destroy the Five Gods with decisive means, if I had been patient and persuaded to persuade the stupid people, I might have been assassinated and killed without a place to die."
"No matter what your Highness wants to do, it is not enough to rely on others. You must have enough strength in your hands. What you want to do, first of all, you must think about whether this matter is dangerous and whether it is capable of protecting your own safety. If you cannot even ensure your own safety, how can you talk about your ambitions and future situations?"
Tang Bin's words are very simple. He reminded Yinreng: Your fist must be strong in order to have the ability to face the wind and rain. It is not enough to rely on the emperor's favor alone, and the emperor will not take care of you.
