"Shangshu" is the most difficult book among the Four Books and Five Classics. Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty described this book as Jiqu Naiya, which is a more appropriate way of saying it.

Because this thing is essentially a compilation of government documents from ancient times. Not to mention modern Mandarin, ancient Chinese is also very different from the Mandarin of the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties.

Therefore, the pronunciation of many words was very difficult to pronounce for people in the Tang and Ming Dynasties.

Although "Shangshu" has many shortcomings, it runs through the Four Books and Five Classics, and the contents in its books are quoted by various classics.

The reason why Qi Tai taught Zhu Yunxi's "Shangshu" was not only a small revenge, but also because he wanted to bring a happy ending to the teacher-student relationship.

Zhu Yunxi didn't know Qi Tai's bad intentions and thought Qi Tai was just having fun with him.

"No matter how difficult it is, I will still learn a thousand words every day!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tai looked at Zhu Yunxi, his eyes full of doting and reluctance.

Who doesn't like smart children? In Qi Tai's view, Zhu Yunxi was born with a talent for reading.

Moreover, he was also worried that his subsequent teachers would not teach him carefully and would waste Zhu Yunxi's talent.

"It is not difficult for you to recite it, but how to use and understand it will take you a lifetime to explore!"

"Sir, I can only tell you once today. I hope you can listen attentively and remember as much as possible!"

After Qi Tai finished speaking, he began to teach Zhu Yunxi. He did not use books when teaching. After all, he had long been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.

As Qi Tai talked, students came in one after another from the main hall. Qi Tai still taught selflessly, but Zhu Yunxi was a little less serious. His eyes were either attracted by Zhu Quan's grasshopper cage, or were hidden by Zhu Yunxi in his sleeves.

Disturbed by the cries of parrots.

However, no matter how distracted Zhu Yunxi was, Qi Tai never reminded him and just lectured him in a steady voice.

Zhu Yunxi finally felt guilty in his heart as he listened to Qitai's endless explanation.

Although he still didn't like hearing the essence of what he was explaining, he stopped looking around and started listening seriously.

Qi Tai continued to lecture for an hour, even delaying his lectures to the other princes and grandsons, before he explained all his understanding of Shangshu.

"That's all I have to say. As for how much you can understand, it all depends on your ability."

Zhu Yunxi was keenly aware that something was wrong. Why was Qitai acting strange today?

"Mr. Qi, even if I don't understand something, can't I still ask you at any time in the future?"

When Qi Tai heard this, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He smiled and touched Zhu Yunxi's head.

"Then let's talk about it later!"

"Oh, by the way, it's almost time for the monthly exam again. Who are you going to give the first place to this time, or are you going to keep it for yourself?"

Zhu Yunxi is a well-deserved top student in the main hall. He recites two thousand words a day, and his results are extremely good wherever he is placed.

Therefore, not only can he get the rank of "A-top", but he can also give "A-top" to others at will.

This right to give away is regarded as an exclusive privilege given by Qitai to his proud disciples.

Zhu Yunxi didn't care. In his opinion, it could be given to anyone.

But this was overheard by Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi who were near the door, and a fierce quarrel broke out immediately.

"Give me!"

"Zhu Yunxi, tell yourself whether your fifteenth uncle treats you the best. Every time he brings a snack box to the main hall, he always lets you pick first!"

"Zhu Zhi, what you said is wrong. I am also good to Zhu Yunxi, right?"

"Every time I go to the moat to catch toads, I don't give him the biggest one to play with!"

"Your toad doesn't have three legs, so it's not worth anything at all..."

"I have pocket money. I have saved all my profits over the years. I have more than three thousand taels of silver. I will give it all to my eldest nephew!"

"Then I'll pay four thousand taels..."

Zhu Yunxi has long been out of vulgar taste and no longer obsessed with money.

Seeing that the two were arguing fiercely, Qian Gang immediately made the decision and gave the opportunity to Zhu Quan.

"Uncle Fifteen, don't fight this time, leave it to Uncle Seventeen."

"It's not easy for Uncle Seventeen's mother and concubine. The last time I went to visit the Crown Princess in the Crown Prince's Mansion, my hands and neck were dislocated by being slapped. I have to return this favor!"

"oh……"

Zhu Zhi said with disappointment on his face after hearing this.

"Then I won't fight with Xiao Qi this time. Then next time, the score will be given to me. My mother and concubine... ahem... I really hope to be praised by my father!"

Although Zhu Zhi was stuck, everyone in the main hall knew that it was about the harem, as if no one had heard of it...

"Okay, okay!"

“Definitely next time!”

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi manipulated the monthly exam results in this way, Zhu Yunwen was so angry that his face turned red, and he secretly swore in his heart that he must report this matter to the emperor and let the emperor know about the bad behavior of Qi Tai, Zhu Yunxi and others to deceive the emperor!

Qi Tai took advantage of his authority and finally sold a favor to Zhu Yunxi, and then returned to the main hall to teach everyone. After the lecture, it was time for lunch. Qi Tai dismissed the students from school , and he went to the Wenhua Hall.

Firstly, because his human relations were here, he should come here to have lunch. Secondly, he wanted to tell Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru to take more care of Zhu Yunxi.

"Brother Huang, Brother Fang, at least one of you two has to go to the main hall, right?"

Huang Zicheng snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Everyone go!"

"Originally I wanted Xiao Fang to go, but I was angry, so I also wrote a memorandum and asked myself to be transferred to the main hall to supervise the prince and his grandchildren's studies!"

Huang Zicheng said this with more or less resentment, and was suspected of avenging private revenge.

Qi Tai knew about Huang Zicheng's three-day trip to Jinyiwei. Although he sympathized with his experience, he was still a little disgusted with his personal revenge style.

"Brother Huang, you are also a great scholar in this world, how can you be as knowledgeable as a child?"

"Hmph!"

"Of course I won't be as knowledgeable as a child, but..."

"Forget it, let's not bring this up. Let's eat quickly. I'm afraid I'll spoil our appetite if we bring it up again!"

Seeing Huang Zicheng so angry, Qi Tai knew that this was not the time to talk about this matter.

Therefore, it was not until after lunch that he found an opportunity to chat with Fang Xiaoru outside.

"Brother Fang, you are the youngest among the three of us, but you are the most old-fashioned and upright!"

When Fang Xiaoru heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised in displeasure.

"Brother Qi, old-fashioned can't be used as a compliment, right?"

Qi Tai laughed awkwardly when he heard this.

"I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I've heard you tell a joke, hahaha..."

"When did I tell a joke?"

When Qi Tai saw that Fang Xiaoru was still asking questions seriously, he wanted to laugh even more. But now that he had something serious to talk about, he could only forcefully put away his smile.

"Brother Fang, I asked you to come out mainly because I want to ask you a favor."

"Although His Royal Highness Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the Third Emperor, is a bit stubborn, he is a genius. With the guidance of a famous teacher, it will not be difficult for him to become a sage in the future!"

"I hope you will not be disturbed by others, uphold a fair heart, and don't treat him differently even if you don't give him preferential treatment!"

The "interference" that Qi Tai refers to is naturally the influence of the civil service group.

In fact, being in the circle of civil servants, Qi Tai has long known that the big bosses are interested in Zhu Yunxi. For Zhu Yunxi, who is also the legitimate son of the Prince's Mansion, it cannot be said that he looks down upon him.

.

Fang Xiaoru once again showed displeasure upon hearing this.

"Brother Qi, you must have looked down upon me. I only care about loyalty to the public and the country, and don't care about anything else!"

"Brother Qi can't influence me, and neither can the Dukes in the court!"

When Qi Tai saw Fang Xiaoru saying this, he immediately straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly to Fang Xiaoru.

"Brother Fang Gaoyi!"

"Brother, I thank you on behalf of His Highness the Third Emperor and Grandson!"

Fang Xiaoru snorted coldly when she saw this, waved her sleeves and turned around to leave angrily.

Qi Tai looked at Fang Xiaoru's leaving figure and felt touched and funny at the same time.

This old-fashioned "Fang Shengren" is really old-fashioned and interesting, hahaha...

While Qi Tai was holding Fang Xiaoru in whispers, the Crown Princess also found a reason to come to the Wenhua Hall to express her condolences to a group of the Crown Prince's officials, and gave each of them a bowl of ice cream to relieve the heat.

As soon as Huang Zicheng saw the Crown Princess coming to the Wenhua Palace, he knew that she was here to see him.

Therefore, when the Crown Princess left, he offered to see her off.

Mrs. Lu dismissed her servants and bowed to Huang Zicheng.
