In the southern suburbs, people worshiped the heaven and announced to the world that most of the people in the capital came.
After all, it is such a big matter to establish a prince. Although it has nothing to do with ordinary people, it does not prevent them from joining in the fun.
Chen Kan and Hua Shi stood in the crowd and watched.
Today, even Zhu Di, who is His Majesty the Ming Emperor, cannot cover up Zhu Gaochi's glory.
The bright yellow five-claw golden dragon robe made by the Weaving Bureau in a hurry and put on Zhu Gaochi attracted the attention of all the people below the altar.
Now all the people knew what the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty looked like.
Zhu Zhanji followed Zhu Gaochi, wearing a bright red robe of a prince, which completely isolated his identity from the world.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor's grandson will appear on stage at the same time. This news will spread throughout the Ming Dynasty in a very short time.
And this scene will eventually be fixed in the hearts of the people who came to watch the ceremony.
Chen Kan saw Zhu Di, Queen Xu, Zhu Gaosui and many familiar faces on the stage.
Everyone's expressions were different, in sharp contrast to the expectant expressions on the people's faces.
The official who sang the ceremony was Song Li, the Minister of Rites.
Zhu Gaochi took Zhu Zhanji on stage, and Chen Kan was about to pull Hua Shi's sleeves and leave the crowd.
Zhu Zhanji on the altar suddenly turned around and made a face at Chen Kan and Hua Shi.
The two were stunned for a moment, and then the same smile appeared on their faces.
Hua Shi also made a face at him.
Seeing Song Li's face getting darker and darker on the altar, Chen Kan ran away while holding the flowers.
Zhu Di wanted to ennoble his crown prince, and Chen Kan also wanted to teach his apprentices.
It is very challenging for both Chen Kan and Hua Shi to get Hua Shi, who is only five years old, to read "The Classic of Filial Piety" and the Analects of Confucius within a month.
The two must race against time.
As for watching the ceremony, Zhu Gaoxu's position as prince is basically ironclad after what happened today.
Unless he is smart and wants to be in power while Zhu Di is alive.
Otherwise, even if Zhu Gaoxu returns to the capital now, he will not be able to change the final result.
After all, whose prince takes the stage with his son?
If Chen Kan guessed correctly, Zhu Di must be behind this, and took this opportunity to push Zhu Zhanji to the front to prepare for the appointment of the emperor's grandson.
When the two returned to the Hou Mansion, Chen Kan took Hua Shi into the study.
There are not many books in the study room of the Hou Mansion, but every book on the bookshelf contains knowledge that has never been seen in the world.
These learnings were all written down one by one by Chen Kan based on his memories from later generations.
After arriving in Ming Dynasty for more than two years, Chen Kan wrote a little bit at a time. Until now, he has been able to sort out the contents of later primary schools.
And this knowledge is used to teach you to spend time at the right time.
Chen Kan pulled out a thick manuscript from the bookshelf and handed it to Hua Shi with a solemn expression.
"Teacher, what is this?"
Hua Shi opened the book and saw various tadpole-like runes on the book, her eyes filled with doubts.
Chen Kan rubbed his head: "This is our family's unique knowledge. The book you have in your hand is called a dictionary, and those things that look like symbols are called Pinyin."
Hearing that it was an exclusive knowledge, Hua Shi's little face suddenly became filled with solemnity.
The dictionary held in his hands seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds at this moment.
Seeing his nervousness, Chen Kan said with a smile: "Relax, our family's knowledge is about teaching through fun. It is different from the traditional Four Books and Five Classics which talk about the main meanings in a subtle way. You can learn while playing."
"Learn while playing?"
Hua Shi muttered to himself, and a strong curiosity burst out in his eyes.
Although he is only five years old, he also knows that to be knowledgeable is to study hard in a humble window.
Is there any knowledge in this world that can be learned while playing?
He asked: "Really?"
Chen Kan nodded: "Of course it's true."
After affirming, Chen Kan said with a smile: "From my teacher's point of view, no matter what kind of knowledge in this world, it ultimately serves people, so our family's knowledge never focuses on studying, but on applying what we learn. "
Seeing that his words had successfully aroused Hua Shi's curiosity, Chen Kan continued: "I have thought about it as a teacher. You have a weak foundation now and don't know much about literacy. If I teach you how to read now, I want to catch up with you within a month." Senior Brother’s progress is basically impossible.”
These words had a negative meaning, so Hua Shi's little face instantly darkened: "It's the students who are useless and causing trouble to the teacher."
Chen Kan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Conventional methods won't work. I'll trick you as a teacher."
"Cheating?"
"Not bad, cheating."
Chen Kan nodded heavily, reached out and opened the first page of the dictionary and explained: "This is a set of letters originally created by the teacher to assist children in literacy. There are twenty-six letters in total. If you learn these letters, literacy will no longer be a problem." It’s difficult, this is what I’m going to do to you as a teacher.”
"Next, you just need to follow my teacher's ideas."
Hua Shi herself is a very smart child, and under Chen Kan's guidance, she quickly got into the zone.
In the study room, the sound of Chen Kan teaching Hua Shi to read soon came out.
The servants who were busy in the backyard heard the sounds coming from the study and subconsciously slowed down their steps.
Zhu Yuelan, who was about to go out, tiptoed to the door of the study after hearing the sound of reading coming from the study.
After listening for a while, he found that she didn't understand, so he whispered to his servants to call the housekeeper Yuncheng and ask him to guard the door of the study and not allow anyone to approach.
No matter in which era, knowledge is precious, especially some exclusive knowledge, which is only passed down from generation to generation within the family.
Zhu Yuelan was very sure that she had never heard of Chen Kan's knowledge of teaching Hua Shi.
Knowledge that even a princess doesn't know about is exclusive knowledge.
As the mistress of the Hou Mansion, she has the responsibility and obligation to prevent her family's knowledge from spreading.
Chen Kan and Hua Shi stayed until the afternoon after returning home.
It wasn't until Zhu Yuelan's voice calling for dinner came into the room that the two of them reappeared in front of the servants of the Hou Mansion.
Hua Shi's little face was full of excitement that could not be concealed. He had never thought that reading could be so simple.
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the wife his mother had invited for him when he was at home, and the Qie Yun book he used for literacy, which he regarded as a treasure.
Chen Kan walked behind, with a smile in his eyes when he looked at Hua, who was obviously in a much happier mood.
He was so satisfied with this student, and Chen Kan couldn't help but be a little surprised by the seriousness with which Hua Shi took his studies.
If it were a five-year-old kid in future generations, he would probably be impatient after learning Chinese Pinyin for an afternoon.
Not only did Hua Shi memorize all twenty-six letters in one afternoon, he was also able to skillfully combine twenty-six letters.
The learning progress was so fast that it was completely beyond Chen Kan's expectations.
Chen Kan originally gave him a week to learn the twenty-six letters and the combined initial consonants and finals. Now it seems that it only takes three days at most, and he can look up rare words in the dictionary by himself.
Until they got to the dinner table, Hua Shi had not yet recovered from her study state, and was still reciting the pronunciation of each letter in a low voice.
Chen Kan gave him a big chicken drumstick and said, "I'm overworking my brain today, so I'll eat a drumstick to replenish my energy."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Hua Shi politely thanked Chen Kan, and then fell into her own thoughts.
...
In the next month, Chen Kan never stepped out of the house again.
As for the news of the crown prince being conferred in the Ming Dynasty, after a month of settling, not only did it not go silent, but instead, with the help of interested people, it caused an uproar throughout the Ming Dynasty.
When the crown prince is established, the foundation of the country is solid.
The vast majority of the people who received this news were happy. The determination of the successor of the Ming Dynasty meant that the Ming Dynasty had less hidden dangers of instability.
For ordinary people, nothing is more important than stability.
And Hua Shi lived up to Chen Kan’s expectations. After following Chen Kan’s systematic study for a month, he was not only able to read every article with the help of a dictionary, but also recognized Arabic numerals and memorized the Nine-Nine Song. Now , addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within one hundred are no longer difficult for him. "
Today is the most exciting day for Chen Kankao.
After studying systematically for a month, it is completely useless to talk about what I have learned.
So Chen Kan spent a whole stick of incense to get a test paper for Hua Shi, preparing to let him feel the maliciousness of the test.
Then, he locked Hua Shi in the study.
After instructing him not to read any information, he came to the front hall.
In the front hall of the Hou Mansion, there are Xu Yuan, Zheng Song, Shi Wen, Yao Chi and Zhang Yong. The five great kings under Chen Kan are impressively listed.
During this month, Chen Kan paid no attention to worldly affairs and devoted himself to teaching his students.
Many things also happened in the capital.
Most things have nothing to do with Chen Kan, but there are also some things that are involved with Chen Kan.
The only thing that could bring Chen Kan's five closest confidants together was news from the White Lotus Sect.
When Chen Kan went outside the city to select a site for the Naval Academy, he suspected that the unexplained disappearance of the residents of Donghe Town was related to the White Lotus Sect.
Although the residents of Donghe Town later came back on their own, Chen Kan's suspicion was not dispelled.
After more than a month of inquiring by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, it was finally time to reveal the mystery.
"I've met the Marquis."
The five people stood up and saluted. Chen Kan came to the main seat and sat down. He stopped and said, "No courtesy."
After the five people sat back down, Chen Kan looked at Xu Yuan and asked, "Is there any news?"
Xu Yuandao: "Back to your lord, my subordinates have found out that the people of Donghe Town did go to Laoya Temple to chant sutras and pray for blessings a month ago. It was led by a Donghe Town villager named Han Delu, and this Han Delu was from the north of the city. The shop owner of the Wharf Carriage Shop is also a Ten-Pillar Bodhisattva of the White Lotus Sect."
Chen Kan rubbed his chin: "What is the purpose of this Han Delu?"
Xu Yuan shook his head: "The purpose of Han Delu's move has not yet been found out. According to the residents of Donghe Town, Han Delu made a fortune in the early years of his life by making cars and boats. He married a wife and had a son. After his wife died, he took his son Han with him. Lu opened a horse and carriage shop in the north of the city, and Han Lu was none other than Han Lu, a son of Dongfo who was shot to death by the Marquis outside the city that day."
Chen Kan leaned lazily on his chair and asked, "Where is Han Delu?"
Xu Yuan cupped his hands and said: "It has been controlled by our people."
"very good."
Chen Kan praised him and stood up slowly: "Let's go and meet Han Delu for a while."
Chen Kan was not surprised that the chariot and horse racing business in the north of the city was the White Lotus Sect's stronghold.
Because the stronghold itself was deliberately left by Zhu Gaosui as a bait to lure out the true Buddha of the White Lotus Sect.
In the battle of Donghe Town, the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses. Even the famous Our Lady of White Lotus died in Donghe Town.
The only daughter died, and it was impossible for the true Buddha not to come and take revenge.
These hidden lines are like minefields. Once he dares to use the hidden lines left in the capital, he will be targeted by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
As for whether we can follow the clues and find the true Buddha, it depends on how well the Wucheng Bingma Division has penetrated the people in the past two years.
Chen Kan returned to the backyard and told Hua Shiyin that he could go out to play after writing the test papers, and then went to the Nancheng Bingma Division Prison with the five people.
After two years of development, the scale of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has expanded again and again, and the imperial prison has also been replaced by a shotgun, and it is approaching the imperial prison of Jinyiwei.
Ignoring the constant cries of injustice in the prison, Chen Kan and a group of six people walked straight towards the deepest part of the prison.
As the Ten-Pillar Bodhisattva of the White Lotus Sect, Han Delu is definitely one of the only remaining high-level members of the White Lotus Sect, and he deserves this treatment.
Xu Yuan took the key from the captain guarding the prison and opened one of the Tianzihao cells.
Han Delu, this is not the first time Chen Kan has met him. In the past, every time he went out of the city, he would store the Marquis's carriage at the Wharf Carriage and Horsemanship Store.
While in prison, Han Delu did not receive any inhuman treatment. Except for the blood on his hands and feet that were shackled, his mental state was pretty good.
Seeing Chen Kan enter the door, he even gave Chen Kan a polite smile.
Chen Kan walked up to Han Delu, cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper Han, it's been a long time."
Han Delu had shackles on his hands, so he couldn't return the favor, so he had to bow slightly and said, "I have met Marquis Jinghai."
The start was quite pleasant, Han Delu was not hysterical, and Chen Kan was not arrogant. The two sides were like friends who had not seen each other for a long time, saying hello to each other.
The jailer brought stools for Chen Kan and the others, but Han Delu saw that he had no share, so he simply squatted on the ground.
Chen Kan sat on the stool with a golden sword. After pondering for a moment, he said calmly: "Shopkeeper Han is a smart man. He should know why I am here today. I also ask shopkeeper Han to tell the truth truthfully to avoid suffering any physical pain." .”
Han Delu squatted opposite Chen Kan with a calm smile on his face.
He just listened to Chen Kan's threats without any intention of speaking.
Seeing that Han Delu was unmoved, Chen Kan took a long breath and asked, "Is Shopkeeper Han a descendant of Han Shantong?"
Han Delu was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Why do you see it?"
Chen Kan said expressionlessly: "As far as I know, Shopkeeper Han's ancestral home is from Luancheng County, Zhaozhou. When the late emperor participated in the Red Turban Uprising, the leader of the Yingzhou Uprising Army was Han Shantong. Han Shantong's ancestral home is also Zhaozhou. What happened It’s too much of a coincidence, so I have this question.”
