rare.
You must know that Lao Zhu rarely cancels his viewings. Today, for the first time, he came to Mu Mansion. This shows Lao Zhu's love for Mu Chun and Mu Sheng, and it also shows Lao Zhu's trust and respect for Mu Ying.
"Everyone, get up, Mr. Gu. Today you have to be a teacher. In the future, you have to teach carefully and don't hide anything."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and said.
Gu Zhengchen nodded bitterly: "I will obey your Majesty's will."
"But there are others coming. If not, let's start."
Zhu Yuanzhang was impatient.
Just as Gu Zhengchen was about to speak, Gu Cheng led Liang Jiajun there, but they were stopped outside by the guards...
Liang Jiajun originally thought he was just going to become a disciple, but when he entered the room, he suddenly became a little panicked when he saw a room full of people. Even the emperor and the prince were here. The movement must have been too loud...
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liang Jiajun who was saluting, and nodded slightly when he heard that Liang Jiajun was serving as an assistant teacher at Guozixue: "Guozixue will have a big responsibility in the future, and I still need to rely on talented people like you to govern it."
Liang Jiajun was deeply moved.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian: "Since Mr. Song is here, how about you being the deacon?"
Song Lian readily agreed and asked Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others to stand in the north of the room, while Gu Zhengchen stood in the west facing east.
On the right is the seat of the guest and master, sitting in the west and facing the east.
From this, teachers are also called "teachers".
Song Lian ordered people to prepare the four treasures of the study and other items, and asked Mu Chun and Mu Sheng to stand on the west side of the door. Mu Ying was ready to give the gift.
After everything is ready, the door is closed.
Mu Chun and Mu Sheng took two steps and stood at the door knocking on the door.
Gu Zhengchen sent deacon Song Lian out to inquire.
Song Lian opened the door and asked, "Who are you two and where do you come from?"
Mu Chun shouted loudly: "I am Mu Chun and my brother Mu Sheng. I admire Mr. Gu's knowledge and come here to become my disciple. I would like to study under Mr. Gu and learn..."
Song Lian took two steps back, walked to Gu Zhengchen's side and repeated it.
Gu Zhengchen said solemnly: "I'm young and I can't teach you anything, so let the two of you retreat."
Song Lian went to the door again to deliver a message.
Muchun opened his mouth and begged to become a disciple again.
Song Lian turned around, but Gu Zhengchen refused again.
Until the third time, Mu Chun and Mu Sheng knelt outside the door, and Mu Chun revealed his true feelings: "If a jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. If a person does not learn, he will not know righteousness. My brother and I want to become as wise and insightful people as Mr. Once you learn the skills, one day you will mount your horse to kill the enemy, dismount your horse to secure the country, and guard the mountains and rivers!"
Mu Sheng was young and not good at words, so he only shouted: "I want to take Mr. Gu as my mentor."
Gu Zhengchen could no longer refuse and nodded in agreement.
Song Lian led Mu Chun and Mu Sheng into the room, stood on the east side, and shouted: "Send me the apprenticeship invitation!"
Mu Chun and Mu Sheng took out their apprenticeship invitations, came to Gu Zhengchen, bowed respectfully and presented them to him.
Gu Zhengchen stretched out his hand to take it and said solemnly: "When you join my family, you should remember to learn how to sail. If you don't advance, you will retreat. As a person, you should respect your ancestors and be filial and loyal. If you don't understand something, you should know it by studying things and looking for their laws. Xiaozhi. All things in the world always have laws to follow. Complying with the laws is like going with the tide and sailing thousands of miles. Going against the laws is like facing the road of Shu and the difficulty of climbing to the sky..."
"law?"
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and fell into thinking. The rules here should be some kind of rules, right?
Everything is in order, so is the change of dynasties also in order?
Looking through the history books, I have never seen the Immortal Dynasty!
To which generation and year can the Zhu dynasty continue?
Zhu Biao, Song Lian, Liu Ji and others listened and thought deeply, each with their own understanding.
"As a teacher, you may not always be by your side because of your duties. You two need to remember that thousands of great ways are hidden in the people. If the people are prosperous, the country will be strong, and if the country is strong, the spirit will last. Confucius said that when three people walk together, I will always be there. Master Yan, I am a teacher and say: Learning is among the people. Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants each have their own strengths. To cultivate yourself, you should not be ashamed to ask your subordinates..."
Song Lian nodded heavily.
It is well said that knowledge lies among the people.
Didn't I also learn my knowledge from the folk? I asked old farmers about farming, craftsmen about skillful workmanship, businessmen about profit and justice, and scholars about investigating things.
It has to be said that Gu Zhengchen can indeed be a teacher, and these words are enough to serve as a lifelong guide.
After Gu Zhengchen's simple instruction, Song Lian said: "Respect the teacher's teachings, do not disobey, practice true knowledge, and cultivate knowledge to understand the world. Now Mr. Gu Zhengchen has accepted Mu Chun and Mu Sheng as his disciples, and he is his teacher. Father, disciples should bow three times and kowtow nine times!"
Mu Chun and Mu Sheng knelt down, kowtowed three times, stood up and knelt down again...
Gu Zhengchen looked at Mu Chun and Mu Sheng who were saluting, with mixed feelings in his heart. From this day on, the Gu family and the Mu family were completely tied together.
According to historical records, the Mu family became the guardians of Yunnan, and the Mu family guarded Yunnan until the last breath of the Ming Dynasty. Just because of his intervention, will the Mu family still go down this road?
Gu Zhengchen didn't know.
The butterfly effect cannot be explained clearly. Perhaps because of my own inadvertent interference, the wheels of history began to turn.
"It's done!"
Song Lian shouted.
Gu Zhengchen stood up and gave Mu Chun and Mu Sheng each a set of Four Books and Five Classics in return, and then recited the first chapter of "The Great Learning": "The way of great learning is to be clear and virtuous, to be close to the people, and to stop at the highest good... Everything has its origin and end, and everything has its origin and end. There is an end and a beginning. If you know the sequence, you will get the shortcut..."
At this point, the teacher-student relationship is established.
Mu Ying was very happy. She had seen Gu Zhengchen's knowledge before, and his Confucian attainments were indeed inferior to those of Song Lian, Liu Ji and others. However, Gu Zhengchen's knowledge was very practical and his teaching was unruly and had no clear framework and constraints. .
For Gu Zhengchen, there is no difference between inside and outside the classroom. When he wants to teach, he can teach principles and knowledge whether in the room or outside the room, even under a tree.
Zhu Biao was very pleased that Gu Zhengchen was tied to Mu Ying's family, which was no different from being tied to the East Palace. After all, Mu Ying was his brother and the two had a close relationship.
Liu Ji looked deeply at Gu Zhengchen, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang from time to time, lowering his head and thinking about something.
Song Lian was deeply touched when he heard the saying "Learning lies in the folk" and decided to buy some sesame seed cakes for the folk.
With a straight face, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Gu Zhengchen and said to Mu Chun and Mu Sheng: "He is your teacher now. You must respect your teacher in the future. You must not be negligent because of his status. If I know that you don't listen to his teachings, I'm slacking on my studies, but I want to give you something to eat."
Mu Chun and Mu Sheng quickly promised.
Zhu Yuanzhang frightened the two children, then drove them out. He glanced at Zhang Huan, who walked out and closed the door.
Gu Zhengchen frowned slightly, and Zhu Biao, Mu Ying and others also didn't know why.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Gu Zhengchen and said, "I didn't quite understand what you said about the rules just now. Why don't you explain carefully, what are the rules and where are the rules of the dynasty?"
Gu Zhengchen felt the gazes coming towards him, and a sudden pressure arose.
