Opening "Spring and Autumn" and looking at the obscure sentences in it, Li Xian felt a headache.
After all, it is a work known as "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" and "Micro Words and Great Meanings", and the classical Chinese text is a concise term for normal speech. In his opinion, "Spring and Autumn" is simply a classical Chinese text among classical Chinese texts. Almost every sentence contains a connotation of praise and criticism, which requires careful consideration.
No wonder this book has so many annotated biographies, because it is so obscure and difficult to understand. At this moment, Li Xian suddenly felt that he was acting stupidly by choosing "Spring and Autumn" to read.
A wise person would not do it if he insists on doing something even though he knows it is not feasible.
Putting down "Spring and Autumn", Li Xian looked at Yao Yuanchong and asked: "Yuanzhi, have you ever read this "Spring and Autumn"? Can you help me clear up my doubts?"
Yao Yuanchong was reading a book in ecstasy. When he heard King Yong's words, the corner of his mouth twitched, but he still said honestly: "Reporting to your highness, I am not knowledgeable enough to answer your questions."
After saying that, his face turned red and he was ashamed of his previous grand wish. I can't even handle a small piece of royal literature, and I still want to manage the world. I really don't clean up the whole house!
Seeing Yao Yuanchong's ashamed look, Li Xian also regretted it a little. This won't hit this guy too hard and make him unable to recover.
But then I thought about it, if he couldn't even bear this setback, he wouldn't be considered a "talent".
Looking at Li Yun at the door, Li Xian said: "Go and ask Zuo Shuzi, and tell him that I have something to learn and want to ask for advice."
Li Yun agreed and left in a hurry.
After a while, Li Yun still didn't come back. Instead, Shangguan Wan'er, dressed up in a new style, came over holding a teapot and tea sets.
"Your Highness, please have some tea."
Taking a look at the teacups, all of them were wet, and you knew that every teacup had probably been cleaned and tested for poison.
Being in the royal family, with half his butt sitting in the position of the prince, Li Xian didn't care about this anymore. Some rules are better not to be broken.
After pouring a cup of tea and placing it in front of him, Shangguan Wan'er poured another cup of tea. Without him opening his mouth, Shangguan Wan'er held the teacup and sent it to Yao Yuanchong.
Yao Yuanchong was naturally flattered and stood up to thank him.
After finishing all this, Shangguan Wan'er looked at the table and the open window again, then knelt down to salute and slowly left.
Li Xian watched her series of actions silently, and it wasn't until she walked out that he smiled.
From the very first contact, you could tell how much effort Mr. Zheng had put into her.
And from these small details, we can also see that her receptive ability is also very strong.
It's no wonder that she was able to please Wu Zetian. You know, a beautiful woman accompanying a cruel empress is not as dangerous as "accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger". And it is really difficult for her to have a good death.
After taking another sip of tea, Li Xian stood up and walked to the door of the study to greet Xiao Dezhao.
After all, you are studying, so you have to make certain gestures.
Soon, Xiao Dezhao was brought over by Li Yun.
It can be seen that this guy is very happy, or in other words, people are born to be teachers. No matter who is asked for advice, they are secretly happy. Not to mention, it was Li Xian, half a prince, who asked him for advice.
After Xiao Dezhao saluted, Li Xian also saluted slightly and said with a wry smile: "I am going to read "Spring and Autumn", but I really can't grasp the obscure sentences in it, so I asked Li Xian to invite Zuo Shuzi and hope that Zuo Shuzi did not hesitate to teach me."
Xiao Dezhao cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is serious. It is the duty of a humble minister to help you clear up your doubts. How about we start now?"
Li Xian nodded and invited Xiao Dezhao into the study.
Yao Yuanchong was not qualified to participate in the conversation. He waited until Xiao Dezhao came in and sat down, then saluted and said: "Yao Yuanchong, a student of the Literature of Prince Yong's Mansion, is paying homage to Zuo Shuzi. I wonder if you can allow students to observe when you are teaching Prince Yong?"
When it comes to knowledge, many times it is emphasized that "not taught to the six ears". Although his literature has the nature of accompanying readings, if you want to attend, it is better to ask in advance.
Xiao Dezhao said indifferently: "The magnificent masterpiece "Spring and Autumn" has countless annotations. What I said is just a family opinion. It's okay if you want to listen, but you can't publicize it. It's not out of self-respect. I'm really afraid. My opinions must be taught by a truly learned person.”
It was good to be able to listen in. Yao Yuanchong was as happy as if he had found gold. Before Li Yun could do anything, he poured a cup of tea for Xiao Dezhao himself.
Xiao Dezhao was not surprised that he could receive such treatment, but he still didn't bother to pay attention to Yao Yuanchong. He glanced at King Yong's tables and chairs, frowned, but still chose to turn a blind eye.
Taking out "Spring and Autumn", Xiao Dezhao smiled and said: "Your Highness, when "Spring and Autumn" was written, the calendar included Spring and Autumn first, and then divided into winter and summer. Therefore, the national history record was called "Spring and Autumn". This may be the reason why "Spring and Autumn" was used as the name of the history book. The origin of."
"The existing "Spring and Autumn Annals", from the records of Lu Yingong to Lu Aigong, went through twelve generations of monarchs, totaling 244 years (according to the "Gongyang Biography" and "Gu Liang Biography" until the 14th year of Ai Gong) , for two hundred and forty-two years, it is basically the original text of the history book of the State of Lu."
"Spring and Autumn" records major events in various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period for more than 240 years. The full text currently preserved is only more than 17,000 words. However, according to Zhang Yan's research during the Cao Wei Dynasty, the original text should be 18,000 words. It can be seen that the original text of "Spring and Autumn" has been exposed since the Three Kingdoms and more than a thousand words. It is a pity that many important events have been omitted!"
"Stop talking about these regrets, come on, Your Highness, let's get started. In the early days, Duke Wu of Zheng married Yu Shen, named Wu Jiang, and gave birth to Duke Zhuang and Gongshu Duan. Duke Zhuang was born in Wensheng, which shocked the Jiang family, so he was named Wensheng. I hate him. I love Gongshu Duan and want to establish him. I urgently request Duke Wu, and he will grant me..."
Seeing Xiao Dezhao starting to explain, Li Xian took out a piece of paper, began to listen carefully, and took notes at any time. Also doing the same thing was Yao Yuanchong.
Seeing that the two "students" were listening attentively, Xiao Dezhao, who was explaining "Spring and Autumn", became even more enthusiastic, and even the voice of reading the article became more ups and downs.
You have to take your studies seriously, because you have already suffered the hardship of "replenishing them later", so Li Xian will definitely take it seriously as long as he studies something now.
It is necessary to learn these things. Different time periods have different cultural systems. At least, in the Tang Dynasty, you couldn't talk to people about topics like "learning from the barbarians and developing skills to control the barbarians"!
Seeing that King Yong and the others were starting to study, Li Yun slowly exited the study so as not to disturb the three of them.
Although he is literate, he does not understand so much knowledge. He also knew deeply that he did not have the same qualifications to study as Yao Yuanchong.
