Before we knew it, it was the ninth year of Dragon and Phoenix (1363). Xiao Zhu was born in the first year of Dragon and Phoenix. He would be ten years old in the new year.
Over the years, he and Lao Zhu have been together less and less, and every year Lao Zhu has to go out to fight, leaving him in Yingtian Mansion.
Zhu Biao actually felt that there was no difference between now and when he was a child. He couldn't get out of that house originally, but now he couldn't get out of Yingtian Mansion.
Since he was five years old, Zhu Yuanzhang has found for him a man who is known as the "Three Masters of Poetry and Prose in the Early Ming Dynasty" together with Gao Qi and Liu Ji, and is also known as the "Four Masters of Eastern Zhejiang" together with Zhang Yi, Liu Ji, and Ye Chen. Song Lian of Longmen of Song Dynasty gave him enlightenment teaching.
Song Lian was a famous Confucian in the world, with profound knowledge and a sect of his own. His literary reputation spread far and wide among scholars. Being able to be called his disciple was undoubtedly an excellent political capital.
Xiao Zhu naturally studies hard. After all, he is someone who has gone through the college entrance examination. Although Song Lian is also strict, Xiao Zhu feels okay. After all, there are few temptations now, and there are no computers or mobile phones.
Letting Xiao Zhu play with the young sons of those generals is not as interesting as reading, so Xiao Zhu's diligence and studious amazed even Song Lian.
What he learned in his previous life is completely different from what he learned in this life. He must learn these things if he wants to control those civil servants in the future.
The rules Song Lian set for him were that no matter the season, he would get up to study with him at dawn in the morning, he could have an hour to eat and rest at noon, and he could not go back until dark in the evening.
The Thousand-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, The Analects of Confucius, The Book of Songs, Mencius, Zuozhuan, Shangshu, Gongyang, Doctrine of the Mean, Daxue, Guliang, Hanfeizi, Book of Rites, Zizhi Tongjian, and the Essential Art of Qi Min.
These were his studies in the first five years. It must be said that even with a famous scholar like Song Lian, he found them obscure and difficult to understand. He couldn't imagine how normal children could understand the subtle meanings in them. He was almost thirty in his two lifetimes combined. I studied hard every day for five years before reading it thoroughly!
But this already shocked Song Lian. He originally wanted to enlighten Zhu Biao and leave, but he couldn't stop teaching.
He didn't understand these books until he was in his thirties. It took this kid five years to surpass him who spent more than twenty years studying hard in a humble window.
The most valuable thing is that he is not only talented and intelligent, but also has the perseverance of an adult at just a few years old. He never thinks about cheating and cheating. He studies extremely hard every day. Even if he is not the eldest son of Duke Wu, he still has the potential to become a literary emperor.
These are what Song Lian told his friends.
Xiao Zhu felt that it was not ruled out that his Lao Zhu would be victorious in every battle, especially after the Poyang Lake water battle, with the power to dominate the world, Comrade Lao Song should be reluctant to bear the name of the emperor's disciple or even the future emperor's master.
After all, Zhu Biaozhan was the direct descendant and had extraordinary talents, and his reputation in Yingtian Mansion was far-reaching. Although Song Lian didn't say anything to Xiao Zhu, he was silently building momentum for him, endorsing him with his reputation as a great scholar, and sending some of his articles to other celebrities for comment.
For no other reason than the fact that the master-disciple status has been established, the interests of both of them are connected, and one will be prosperous and the other will suffer.
If Xiao Zhu is still this good when he grows up in the future, and can succeed to the throne, then Song Lian can become a sect in the literary world as the emperor's teacher, become a scholar leader, and leave his name in history!
Of course, Xiao Zhu is not at a disadvantage. He has famous scholars in the world to promote his reputation and support him. Even if it is useless now, when he builds the East Palace, he can use this reputation to recruit talents in the name of the prince and form a complete team. .
Xiao Zhu is now followed by more than a dozen servants. If he leaves the Marshal's Mansion, there will be a team of nearly a hundred personal guards from the Marshal's Mansion.
In fact, in recent years, apart from Zhu Yuanzhang coming back and taking him out for a tour, only those generals with outstanding achievements and Ma family would let Xiao Zhu personally send gifts to express the closeness and attention of the Marshal's Mansion to them!
It has to be said that a person's status and environment can really change a person's temperament. In his previous life, Zhu Qian was just a harmless boy, but now with the expansion of Lao Zhu's power, Zhu Biao also has a so-called momentum.
Last year, the old lady of Marshal Guangxingyi's family celebrated her birthday, and Ma asked Zhu Biao to give gifts. Xiao Zhu happened to be in a irritable mood that day. When he arrived at Marshal's Mansion, he gave gifts and sat down without saying a word.
As a result, the originally bustling Marshal's Mansion suddenly became quiet. Everyone was cautious, even the naughty children did not dare to make any more noise.
When Xiao Zhu came back to his senses, he realized that it had not even passed noon, and half of the banquet had been dispersed, and it was deserted.
The old lady of the Marshal's Mansion personally brought the whole family over to say hello and asked if there was any lack of hospitality.
After reacting, Xiao Zhu quickly cheered up and bowed to the old lady and said, "Of course there is no problem with the reception from the Marshal's Mansion. It's just that I was a little upset today because I couldn't figure out the teacher's problem. It's really embarrassing that I disturbed the old lady's birthday banquet. It’s time! You should confess to the old lady!
The old lady quickly comforted her and said, "It's a good thing that the young master is eager to learn! How dare you blame him?"
The marshal's wife also hurriedly received the message: "Yes, who in the entire Yingtian Mansion doesn't know that the young master is very knowledgeable and talented? Several great scholars have praised your articles, unlike these losers in our family who have a headache just reading the book!"
Seeing that Xiao Zhu almost turned the old lady's birthday into a memorial day, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
