Chapter 93 The Duke is shocked, Xu Qingxiaos plan!
Anguo Gongfu.
Everyone was a little confused.
Especially the second generation were a little stunned.
Just now Xu Qingxiao's eyes burst into purple light, and they were a little surprised, but what Xu Qingxiao said shocked them even more.
Does this man have the qualifications to be a great scholar?
What is a great scholar? It’s not like they don’t know that the heavens listen to them, but they act arrogantly when they walk.
Although they insult these corrupt Confucians all day long, what is the reality? Anyone who lives in Kyoto knows that the safest group of people in the court are these Confucian scholars.
Why?
Because there are saints behind them, Confucians cannot be killed, unless they commit a heinous crime, or just say a few wrong words, or stand in the wrong team, even if they criticize the emperor in person.
The final result is to get beaten with a few sticks and then go back to your hometown. The problem is that if you go back to your hometown, your prestige will be greater, and others will say that you are not afraid of power, and even the emperor will be angry for the sake of the people of the world.
Do the common people understand what government affairs are in the court? They don’t understand. In addition, the Confucian scholar can speak eloquently and is very prestigious all of a sudden. The rest of his life will be completely comfortable.
Because what are the Confucian scholars fighting for? What they are fighting for is eternal fame. The more the emperor scolds them, the happier they actually are. After scolding them today, they will write an article in the evening and then show it to the world's literati.
This method is simply invincible, because after all, the people behind them are saints, literati, and scholars.
So they actually envied this group of Confucian scholars. Furthermore, regardless of the Northern Expedition or not, once the country settled down, the status of Confucian officials would rise even more and they would sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The examples of the previous dynasties are still recorded in the history books, so although they may appear to be extremely rude on the surface, secretly they envy these Confucian scholars to death, and how much they hope to have a great Confucian in their own family.
In this way, being both civil and military, not to mention majestic or not, is equivalent to having a gold medal for immunity from death in the court. Even if the Duke and his family are really in trouble a hundred years later, with a great Confucian here, at least they will not be extinct.
.
This is how it is in the court. You enjoy the most extreme things in the world, but you also have to bear the most terrible things in the world. You have to kill everyone in the family and have no children or grandchildren. Isn't there too much exchange between ancient and modern times?
There is no eternal dynasty, and there is no eternal duke, but there is eternal Confucianism. It is precisely because of this that people in the world hope that their children can study and become Confucian scholars. They hope to become officials through studying.
Such forces in the imperial court also hope that their children and grandchildren can study. No matter how much they hate Confucianism, they cannot resist the fact that they have saints and have the hearts of the people in the world.
So when they heard Xu Qingxiao say this, everyone was stunned.
Especially Duke An Guo looked at Xu Qingxiao with a strange look in his eyes.
"Nephew Qingxiao, what did you just say? I am old and can't hear you clearly."
It's not that An Guogong couldn't hear clearly, it's that An Guogong didn't want to believe it. Although he hoped that his descendants would be scholars, the problem was how could his family environment produce scholars.
They are all idle and like to go to the military camp to cause mischief. They don't look like scholars. They look more like bandits who specialize in robbing scholars.
"My lord! This boy has the qualifications of a great Confucian scholar. When I saw this boy just now, I felt something was different. Out of curiosity, the student used his Confucian magical powers to open his spiritual eyes and observe his literary and artistic destiny."
"I have noticed that this student has the qualifications of a great Confucian scholar. What the student said to An Guogong is definitely not false, and he will never dare to deceive the Duke. If he is deceived, the student will be in vain as a scholar."
Xu Qingxiao said seriously.
He did take a look at the young man in purple with his Confucian and Taoist eyes just now, but he couldn't see anything at all.
But the reason why Xu Qingxiao dares to say this is not nonsense. There is a saying: There are no bad students, only teachers who can't teach. Although this sentence is a bit too absolute.
But this sentence also has a certain meaning. Whether a person can read or not, talent is naturally important, but later training and hard work are also important.
Living in this kind of family, if you have nothing to do today, you will go hunting with your eldest uncle, tomorrow if you have nothing to do, you will follow your second uncle to the military camp, the day after tomorrow if you have nothing to do, you will follow your third uncle to practice martial arts, and the day after tomorrow you will go out with a group of friends to play.
In this kind of educational environment, no matter how talented you are, it will be gone, right?
Xu Qingxiao read a parenting book in his previous life, and he strongly agreed with one sentence: as long as the child is not born with problems, at least he will not lag too far behind others. If you insist on competing with the genius among geniuses, there is nothing you can do.
Are children really unintelligent if they don't want to study? Ninety-nine percent of them are just playful. Look at other emperors. As long as there are wise emperors above them, who hasn't been suffering from childhood? Look at the descendants of these Confucian officials.
, teaching by words and deeds is number one.
More importantly, you are forced to study all the time. Unless you are a fool, you will never not know the most basic knowledge.
Furthermore, what kind of world is this? These people don’t practice mathematics, physics and chemistry at all. How can they be worse if they really study seriously?
So what Xu Qingxiao said is correct. It may be a bit exaggerated to teach a great Confucian, but there is absolutely no problem in teaching a Confucian student.
Originally, An Guogong was slightly suspicious, thinking that Xu Qingxiao suddenly spoke like this to please himself, or that Xu Qingxiao had some other purpose.
But Xu Qingxiao spoke categorically, and even swore that this was no joke. In an instant, everyone believed Xu Qingxiao, but whether they believed it or not, they were still shocked.
"Brother Qingxiao, are you saying that my son has the qualifications to be a great scholar?"
A middle-aged man stood up and looked at Xu Qingxiao with a look of shock and expectation in his eyes.
This is the son of the Duke, his name is Li Bing, and the boy in purple is his eldest son. To be honest, he never thought that his son had any qualifications to study, although he also let his son go to school.
But after I went to private school, I started messing around all kinds of things, which gave me a splitting headache, and finally I had to invite him back, so I gave up the idea.
However, today Xu Qingxiao actually said that his son has the qualifications of a great Confucian scholar. How could he not be shocked?
His son has the qualifications of a great Confucian, so he is his father a great Confucian? From now on, in the Duke's palace, he will not be as valuable as his father. Thinking of this, he became excited.
After all, who doesn’t want to have a successful child?
"Well, although I have little talent and little knowledge, after clarifying my intention and concentrating my Confucianism, Taoism and spiritual eyes, I can judge the talents of people. I do have the qualifications of a great Confucian."
Xu Qingxiao said seriously.
As soon as he said this, Li Bing was even more excited. He quickly looked at his father and said.
"Dad, did you hear that my son has the qualifications to be a great scholar? We are going to have a scholar in our family."
Li Bing was extremely excited. If a great Confucian really came out, their An Guogong was both civil and military. In the entire Wei Dynasty, their Duke's Mansion was the real number one. Whatever achievements or lack of merit, get the hell out of here. If you have the ability,
You give birth to a great scholar.
An Guogong ignored his son, but stood up and said with some excitement: "Nephew Qingxiao, please help me and take a closer look."
An Guogong still doesn't believe it. It's not that he doesn't believe in Xu Qingxiao. The main reason is that his grandson is his eldest grandson. He has seen him since he was a child. If you say he is smart and witty, he completely believes him.
But if you say that this bastard has Confucianism and Taoism, then he won't believe it.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao nodded, and then the purple awe-inspiring righteousness condensed in his eyes. In an instant, his Confucian and Taoist eyes opened. His bluffing was top-notch, and he really bluffed everyone.
They are warriors and do not know much about Confucian scholars. It is even said that most Confucian scholars do not understand what Confucianism, Taoism and God are.
Xu Qingxiao's eyes were focused and majestic. At least from an image perspective, there was no problem at all.
After a while, Xu Qingxiao looked away, her eyes filled with determination.
"Mr. An Guo, if you look at it carefully, you will not make a mistake. This man has the qualifications to be a great Confucian."
Xu Qingxiao said seriously.
Sure enough, when he said this, everyone became even more happy.
Especially Duke An Guo laughed out loud.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I didn't expect that our Li family would finally have a scholar. Not bad, not bad."
"Hahaha, come on, come on, let people quickly get two jars of century-old cellars. I am happy today, so I have to drink a few drinks. My nephew, don't leave tonight, stay here well, I must personally
Treat you well."
An Guo revealed his heart because he was happy from the bottom of his heart. He completely believed what Xu Qingxiao said.
When Xu Qingxiao opened his Confucian and Taoist eyes just now, he felt that this was indeed an extraordinary magical power, and it could not be faked.
Furthermore, Xu Qingxiao didn't need to use this to please herself, and there would be no real benefit.
The most important thing is that he also thought of something. Although he is a rough man and his son is also a rough man, isn't there a saying that one cannot be rich for three generations and poor for three generations?
The same is true for martial arts. It's impossible for three generations to be martial arts, right? In addition, if your descendants are spreading their branches and leaves, why can't they produce a Confucian scholar? Why can't they produce a scholar?
Combining the above three points, An Guogong was certain of one thing.
Xu Qingxiao is an honest person. As we all know, honest people will not lie.
Hahahahahaha.
An Guogong was very happy, and even happier was Li Bing. He grabbed his son. Not to mention, when he looked at his son before, he felt that he was a naughty boy. He always knew how to make himself angry.
But now I look at it, isn’t this the Wen Quxing descending to earth? Well, well, well, hahahahaha, my son has the qualifications of a great Confucian scholar.
Although some people nearby smiled, a few of them didn't smile particularly happily, which was normal. After all, they were not their own sons.
Several women even pushed their husband-in-law and gave him a look. The latter immediately understood and quickly stood up and looked at Xu Qingxiao.
"Brother Qingxiao, can you help my son take a look?"
"Yes, yes, brother Qingxiao, I've already seen it anyway, so why not help my son see if he has any talent?"
The sons of the Duke of An were unable to restrain themselves, and they all hoped that Xu Qingxiao would help and take a look. Although this was a bit rude, not even Duke An could stop him.
Yes, I have so many grandchildren, maybe there will be one more?
However, Xu Qingxiao frowned slightly and looked at the boy in purple. The latter also looked at Xu Qingxiao. Suddenly, something strange appeared in his eyes. He remembered who Xu Qingxiao was.
Wasn't he the one who was robbed by me at the city gate?
But before the words were spoken, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded.
"It's just that, Duke, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Xu Qingxiao spoke, and everyone fell silent with one sentence, especially Li Bing and An Guogong, whose expressions looked a little heavy. After all, Xu Qingxiao's expression was a little bad.
"Nephew Qingxiao, if you have anything to say, just say it. It doesn't matter. I haven't seen any big storms or waves?"
"Yes, brother Qingxiao, tell me if you have any questions."
The two of them spoke one after another. They didn't know what Xu Qingxiao's sudden change of conversation meant.
After hearing what the two of them said, Xu Qingxiao coughed slightly, then cupped her hands and said.
"In that case, let the student say so."
"The prince, the crown prince, although this son has the qualifications of a great Confucian scholar, I just looked at his talent and found that he has three flaws."
"In other words, there will be three things that will prevent him from being promoted to a great scholar."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and told the reason for her frown.
"What three things?"
Duke An asked.
"First, family status, Duke and Crown Prince, I would like to ask if you are overly pampering the younger Crown Prince?" Xu Qingxiao said.
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.
"Brother Qingxiao, this is indeed a bit pampering, but he is also beaten. This kid is very naughty."
Li Bing gritted his teeth and said, in fact, it was not him who doted on him, but his father, Duke An. Everyone from generation to generation knew this, but it was impossible for him to say that his father doted on his grandson. He still had to worry about face in front of outsiders.
"really."
Xu Qingxiao shook her head and sighed.
But someone spoke up.
"Brother Qingxiao, the child is still young, so there is nothing wrong with pampering him a little, right?"
Some people don’t understand. If you say this, you think it’s not a big problem to pamper him a little. How can you have anything to do with the great Confucian?
But as soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao immediately shook his head and said firmly.
"No!"
"It is the fault of a child not to teach his father. When educating children, you must not pamper them. After all, children are naughty in nature. Reading is about talent and talent. This is innate, but hard work and hard work cannot be less."
"Let me give you an example. In my county, there was once a child with excellent talent who could compose poems at the age of five. His parents were extremely happy and doted on the child. They thought that their child was extremely talented and would be successful in the future.
He is the top talent."
"But when he reached adulthood, not only did this child not have any fame, he even became willful and reckless because of his parents' excessive pampering. He even cheated with others and was eventually sentenced to jail."
"As far as the art of war is concerned, when you first enter the military camp and want to make great achievements, you should go into battle and kill the enemy. But the student would like to ask the Duke, after a person kills the enemy to a certain extent and achieves great military achievements, what should he do next?"
Xu Qingxiao did not say it directly, but asked An Guogong.
"Enter the Ministry of War and learn the art of war."
Duke An Guo directly said these six words.
Going into battle to kill the enemy and establish meritorious deeds sounds very enthusiastic, but in fact the real merits are not obtained by killing people, but based on the results of the war.
Unless you are so fierce that one person can defeat the opponent's army of millions, otherwise, killing one hundred enemies is already the limit. As for the so-called killing three thousand enemies, killing ten thousand enemies, these are not something that one person can do, but one person.
A small war did it.
So when you kill enemy generals repeatedly, you understand war, and you get promoted, then you need to learn the art of war, how to lead a team of hundreds, a team of thousands, or even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of troops to fight.
"What the Duke said is true. If an ordinary soldier goes into battle to kill the enemy and understands war, he must learn the art of war."
"In other words, this son has the qualifications of a great scholar, but excessive pampering will make him only know how to kill the enemy but not understand the art of war. As a result, he will only be able to be a vanguard general until his death, but he will not be a general.
There is no marshal of troops and horses."
"Do you understand?"
Xu Qingxiao explained it to everyone, and specially used the art of war to explain it, so that no one would not understand.
Indeed, everyone immediately understood this explanation.
"What nephew Qingxiao said is absolutely true. I understand."
In fact, the first thing Xu Qingxiao said, he understood what Xu Qingxiao meant. At that moment, An Guogong looked at Li Bing fiercely and reprimanded.
"On weekdays, you dote on Fan'er in every possible way. He is so talented, but he was almost killed by you."
"From now on, all of you, listen, you are not allowed to pamper Fan'er anymore. If anyone dotes on Fan'er, I will break his legs."
Duke An Guo roared angrily, scolding everyone bloody.
Everyone is a little depressed. You are obviously the one who dotes on Fan'er the most. Why do you blame us?
But it’s good to know this in your heart, but don’t dare to say it openly.
"grandfather!"
Li Fan was a little confused and didn't pamper himself anymore? What should he do? For a moment, Li Fan couldn't help but act coquettishly towards his grandfather.
"What the hell!"
"Shut up, I. You behave like crazy on weekdays. Your father doesn't care about you, and grandpa doesn't care about you. Shut up, stand here, and listen to Uncle Qingxiao."
Duke An Guo became serious. Although he also felt sorry for his grandson, he had no choice. He was obviously a great scholar, but if he was harmed by such a family environment, he would be ashamed of his ancestors.
When he said this, Li Fan felt a little uncomfortable. Although he was willful, he still had some brains. He could not listen to what others said, but he had to listen to his own grandfather. If he didn't, it would be really troublesome.
At the same time, Li Fan stared at Xu Qingxiao fiercely, wanting to curse a few words, but he didn't dare, so he could only look at Xu Qingxiao with threatening eyes.
"Nephew Qingxiao, what is the second thing you mentioned?"
Duke An Guo continued to ask.
After hearing An Guogong's inquiry and seeing Li Fan's threatening gaze, Xu Qingxiao didn't feel angry at all, but said calmly.
"The second thing is the way of teaching. Famous teachers produce great disciples. But I think your grandson, Duke, will have a rough future as a teacher. If you can't find a good teacher, you probably won't be able to become a great Confucian.
"
Xu Qingxiao said this.
After saying this, everyone nodded. After all, what Xu Qingxiao said was very reasonable. Great teachers make great disciples. Whether a student is good or not depends not only on the student himself, but more importantly on whether the teacher is good.
Just like them, without the guidance of a military master who knows nothing about military warfare, and without the careful guidance of the Duke, they would not be able to see clearly what is going on in the court.
Even if you are a genius, you still need to adapt to the time, and having a famous teacher to guide you is like a fish in water.
As soon as Xu Qingxiao said this, Li Bing's wife couldn't help but stand up and said.
"I am the Xu family, and I have met Mr. Xu."
"Mr. Xu, you are now a great talent in Wei Dynasty, and since you think so highly of my son, how about you become his teacher?"
She took the initiative to speak, because it was related to her son's future destiny, and it was impossible for her not to speak up.
When the voice sounded, An Guogong also nodded and said: "Yes, nephew Qingxiao, didn't you just make a statement? I also look down on those rotten scholars. If I let me go to find them, I will lose my face."
"Nephew Qingxiao, if you really admire me, then accept my example. From now on, we can be considered a family."
An Guogong said seriously, he was not kidding, if Xu Qingxiao accepted Li Fan as his disciple, they would indeed be considered a family. In this world, a master is equal to half a father.
But Xu Qingxiao immediately took a step back and said seriously: "No!"
"My lord, it's not that the students don't want to, it's because there are three things they cannot do."
"First, the students have little talent and little learning, and educating people is like a joke."
"Secondly, Fan'er is talented and intelligent and dare not teach randomly."
"Thirdly, Fan'er is the grandson of the Duke of the country and cannot be taught by students."
Xu Qingxiao refused directly, and the refusal was very direct. As soon as he said this, Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xu Qingxiao a knowing look, but he didn't know that Xu Qingxiao's move was called retreat to advance.
"Nephew Qingxiao, what you say is too modest. How can a great talent of all ages be short of talent and shallow in knowledge? The first point is not counted."
"As for Fan'er's talent and intelligence, he does need the guidance of a famous teacher. Qingxiao's nephew has been promoted to the seventh rank of Confucianism and Taoism in one month, so he is fully qualified to teach Fan'er."
"What about the grandson of the Duke? What worries does Qingxiao's nephew have?"
An Guogong didn't think there was anything wrong with the first two, but he just didn't know what Xu Qingxiao's third sentence meant.
"Yes, brother Qingxiao, you are an eternal talent. No matter how talented Fan'er is, he can't compare to you. He can be taught, he can be taught."
"Sir, famous teachers produce great disciples. Your talent will definitely teach Fan'er. If one day, Fan'er really becomes a great Confucian, it will be a legend throughout the ages."
"Yes, yes, brother Qingxiao, if you have any concerns, just tell me. What about the grandson of the Duke of Guo? I am still the son of the Duke of Guo."
Everyone spoke one after another, especially Li Bing and his wife. They now believed that their son would be a great Confucian in the future, but when Xu Qingxiao said this, they were all kinds of scared.
I'm afraid that this child will go astray. If he does go astray, what will he do in the future? There is no way that another ruffian will come, right? There are a lot of ruffians in the Duke's mansion.
Seeing everyone like this, Xu Qingxiao shook her head and then said.
"In that case, let the students tell us the problem."
"My lord, everyone, students actually cherish their talents and love them. It's just that Li Fan is the grandson of the lord. This study requires a calm mind and seriousness. However, children are naughty by nature. If they are really naughty, they need to be taught a lesson."
"But Mr. Xu is really afraid, and you are reluctant to let go, so it is better to hire someone else. I, Mr. Xu, am very strict in my work. I either don't teach or teach well, so this is extremely important."
Xu Qingxiao expressed her concerns.
Yes, this is Xu Qingxiao's concern.
Previously, when she was blackmailed by this naughty kid outside the city, Xu Qingxiao took the opposite approach and complained directly. Looking at the looks of this group of people, it was clear that this kid must have been spoiled since childhood.
If I really file a complaint, I might say, "This child is still young and not sensible. Why are you, an adult, fussing over things with a child?"
So Xu Qingxiao came up with this trick.
Praise your son for being a great Confucian scholar, and then make you cry and shout to have your son delivered to you.
When the time comes, haha, you must teach seriously. This is the foundation of human nature. But if you don't obey, you will be beaten. If you run away to play, you will be beaten. I will beat you until you are honest and submissive.
What is this called? This is called attacking the heart first.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao felt comfortable.
Sure enough, when Xu Qingxiao said this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They thought it was some big deal, but it turned out they were worried about this.
"Mr. Xu, I am his mother. We have indulged this child too much when he is naughty. But you can rest assured that as long as you accept this child as your student, if he dares to be disrespectful to you or say that he does not study hard,
, you can beat him to death, I will never feel sorry for you."
Li Fan's mother said extremely seriously. She must feel sorry for her son, but she hopes that her son can become a talented person. What's the point of two beatings? The Duke of the country will also give these unfilial sons a beating if he has something to do. It's normal.
"That's right, brother Qingxiao, the child worships you as his teacher, and you are half of his father. Isn't it natural for a father to beat his son? I'm not very good at talking, and I haven't read for a few years. That's what I mean, Qing
Brother Xiao, if you are worried about this, I will tell you clearly, it’s okay, I’ll beat you to death.”
Li Fan's father also spoke.
He had been beaten since he was a child. Logically speaking, Li Fan should have been beaten a long time ago, but with his father protecting him, there was nothing he could do. Now that Xu Qingxiao said this, he must have agreed with both hands and feet.
"Nephew Qingxiao, if you are just concerned about this matter, then I can tell you clearly that a strict teacher will produce a good disciple. You don't need to worry. This child will follow you from now on. If he dares to be naughty and disobedient, you will beat him."
"If you don't feel relieved, I'll ask his father to beat you."
An Guogong also swore firmly.
As soon as he said this, Li Fan panicked. He was not stupid and naturally knew his current situation.
"Grandpa, father, mother, I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn from him."
He opened his mouth, unwilling to accept Xu Qingxiao as his teacher.
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Several voices sounded at the same time, and almost everyone in Anguo Mansion spoke and stared at Li Fan fiercely.
At this moment, the young Li Fan understood an idiom: the situation is over.
Looking at Li Fan whose face was full of grievances, Xu Qingxiao felt inexplicably better, and Xu Qingxiao said at the moment.
"In this case, it is hard for students to shirk it. However, I would like to state in advance that a strict teacher will produce a good disciple. If you really become a teacher, you will endure hardship and punishment. Don't be angry with the students."
Xu Qingxiao still emphasizes that after all, it’s up to you to make your own choice. When the fight comes, don’t feel bad about yourself.
"nature."
"Don't worry, Brother Xu, I promise I won't be angry with you. If you can't fight, just call me and I'll fight."
Li Bing was worthy of being his biological father, but he was afraid that Xu Qingxiao, a scholar, would not be able to fight well, so he wanted to do it himself.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly, and An Guogong continued to ask about the third matter.
"What about the third thing?"
he asked curiously.
"Third, if you meet someone who is not kind, Fan'er is talented and intelligent. Even if he is no longer pampered, he still has a strict teacher to teach him, but he will meet some bad people in his life."
"As the saying goes, if you are close to red, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be dark. No matter how talented a person is, if the people around him are greedy for pleasure and not enterprising, then this person will gradually be assimilated."
"Especially since Fan'er is not young anymore, she naturally has many friends around her. If she still hangs out with them, I'm afraid it will be hard to achieve success."
Xu Qingxiao replied.
Everyone agreed with this point of view again, especially these women, and even more with Xu Qingxiao's point of view. Her husband-in-law didn't drink flower wine at first, but everyone around him did, so it was impossible for them not to go.
"This is easy to handle. They are not allowed to play with Fan'er in the future."
"Yes, yes, we won't let them play with Fan'er. I can also feel that Fan'er is actually quite smart, but how can he be motivated to improve when he hangs out with a group of unprogressive naughty boys every day?"
"You're right, we won't let them play with Fan'er anymore."
Everyone said this, and Duke An Guo also spoke.
"Nephew Qingxiao, do you think this is okay? I will tell these people not to touch Fan'er from now on. Can you stop it?"
Duke An asked.
"No." Xu Qingxiao shook her head and replied: "Since ancient times, it is better to block than to open up. Besides, the Duke of Guo has many things to do every day, how can he always be on guard? The students believe that the friends around Fan'er should also be some of the descendants of the Duke's close friends.
It is better to let them come together and I will teach them one by one."
"In this way, everyone can make progress, and the style can stand out."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and expressed her thoughts.
As soon as he said this, Li Fan froze on the spot.
Good guy, this is going to be served in one pot.
But in the eyes of others, he had a different attitude, like that of a saint, especially Duke An Guo, who was extremely impressed.
Let everyone come together, study together, and study hard together. Even if you don't become a great scholar, at least you have a good foundation. It will be a good thing to join the Ministry of War in the future.
Don't you feel bad if you really go into battle to kill the enemy? The battlefield is ruthless, and death is death.
Furthermore, my grandson has the qualifications to be a great Confucian scholar. If he studies with them, he will definitely be among the best. Then won’t he be able to show off his power?
At their age, bragging about their previous military exploits is of no use. Who can become a prince or prince, and who has no military exploits?
So when we usually get together, we compete to see who speaks louder.
Compared to their descendants? There is no comparison between life and death. After all, these descendants are all in the army, so there is no comparison with them.
But it’s different now. Our children go to school together. My grandson is better than your grandson. Isn’t this just a way to show off?
Good! Good! Good! This is a good idea.
"Nephew Qingxiao, he is indeed a great talent from all ages. He has such great spirit. I will never return drunk today."
"Nephew Qingxiao, I am writing a letter now to inform these friends, and they will definitely agree to come."
"Come on, come on, have a few drinks with nephew Qingxiao, I'm going to write a letter."
An Guogong was very excited. He immediately got up and went to the study to write a letter. He had to inform Haolai about this.
"Dad, instead of writing a letter, why don't you hold a banquet and invite them to come with their children and grandchildren? Now that I have asked people to prepare the banquet, it can be regarded as entertaining Brother Qingxiao."
Someone spoke up and suggested something like this.
"Okay! This is a good idea. Go and invite everyone. Please come over."
An Guogong nodded, then looked at Xu Qingxiao and said: "Nephew Qingxiao, this is good, so that you won't have to run around later, I will call them over together, and I will also let you know people."
An Guogong smiled, then looked at Li Bing and others and said: "Why don't you call the other grandchildren? Let's show nephew Qingxiao together? If you miss this opportunity, you will lose it in the future."
He reminded him, and immediately the wives of the Duke's son stood up and quickly captured their sons.
Everyone was busy in a huddle, while Xu Qingxiao sat quietly in his seat. As for Li Fan, he almost gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Qingxiao.
However, Xu Qingxiao responded with a smile. He hoped that Li Fan would continue to look like this and see if he would bite the bullet after he settled down.
However, this sudden incident did not mean that Xu Qingxiao was seriously going to take revenge on a naughty child.
In fact, Xu Qingxiao was building her own network of contacts.
When she came to Kyoto, she encountered these naughty kids blocking her way, and Xu Qingxiao realized one thing: the problem of education among the three generations.
Later, I asked Zhou Jing'an some things, which confirmed my thoughts.
In the Wei Dynasty, after the Jingcheng Disgrace, the status of generals rose instantly. Emperor Wu's seven Northern Expeditions, although they did not completely eradicate the barbarian scourge, at least partially washed away the shame.
At least the barbarians will not dare to invade for the time being.
However, the seven Northern Expeditions depleted the treasury of the Wei Dynasty and even shaken the country's foundation. It was almost impossible for the Wei Dynasty to continue the Northern Expedition.
Sometimes many things are not controlled by humans, but controlled by national ideology. In more profound terms, it is the destiny of the country.
When the country collectively wants to go to war, then the national destiny will be unprecedentedly grand. Once the country goes to war, it will be almost overwhelming.
But the current Wei Dynasty is full of waste and is waiting to be revitalized. The people do not need to fight now. They just want to eat their bellies and live a stable life. When they recover as before, they can accept fighting again.
Otherwise, if we force a fight, what’s the point of winning?
We had our revenge! We won! Yeah!
that's all?
Any war has a purpose and profit. The country is prosperous and the people are healthy. The Northern Expedition is launched again for the prestige of the Wei Dynasty and its international status.
Now in the Northern Expedition, no matter whether we win or lose, the Wei Dynasty will be the biggest loser, because after the war is over, the Wei Dynasty will be gone. The military attachés cannot fail to know this.
But they are still fighting to go to the Northern Expedition. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of status. They may not go to the Northern Expedition, but they have to mention it, because once it is determined that they will not go to the Northern Expedition, the status of the military attaché will be cut in half.
Therefore, all these princes and princes are actually very melancholy, and they cannot find a solution to this problem.
The only way is to let your descendants enter the imperial court, enter the civil service, and become civil servants, even Confucian officials.
But here comes the question, do the teachers you hired dare to teach these descendants of the Duke?
Putting aside the various factors of family background, if you really ask Confucians to teach you, would they be afraid? Let me tell you that your parents and grandfathers are vulgar people who bring disaster to the country and the people.
Can you bear it or not?
Therefore, they not only hope that their descendants will not continue to become military officers and study hard, but they also do not want these Confucian officials to teach them.
They believe that Confucians are selfless. If you really ask a great Confucian to teach, you will definitely not be biased. But the question comes again, why should they teach you? You call me like a pig or a dog in court? I teach your children in private?
I'm a fucking great scholar, not a saint.
Even if there is a person with such selfless qualities, there are many things in Confucianism that are not in line with what they are doing now.
I teach by words and deeds, my grandson learns Confucian benevolence every day, but I mutter about killing his mother and her whole family every day. Is this appropriate?
But things are different now. Who am I? I am angry at Zhu Sheng's lineage, and I am on the opposite side of the Confucian officials. And I am talented and have been praised forever.
Don't you think it's very appropriate for you to teach these naughty boys and this group of princes and princes?
He is talented and capable, and he is not from the lineage of Confucian officials, or even from the lineage of Zhusheng. This is simply a treasure sent from God.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao completely believed that An Guogong was willing to hand over his child to him.
To be a teacher is to be like one’s parents.
The king of heaven and earth is the teacher, this is Confucianism, and everyone can accept it. Being the teacher of these children is equivalent to being half a father.
This network of connections can be said to be instantly strong. As long as I don't make a huge mistake, and if I do do something wrong in the court, everyone will help me and say a few words.
Furthermore, if I do anything else in the capital in the future, I will be as comfortable as a duck in water.
But the prerequisite for achieving the above points is that you have to teach these students well.
Xu Qingxiao has never taught anyone, but he does know some principles. There will be no problem in teaching a group of students with righteous views, but it may be really difficult to teach a great Confucian.
But in other words, do An Guogong and others really believe that they can teach great Confucians?
Do you really believe that your child has the talent to be a great scholar?
He really became a great Confucian, which was an unexpected blessing, and his status became more stable.
You don't have to be a great Confucian, as long as you study hard, it's not too much to be clear about the seventh grade, right? You are also a scholar. With the connections in the Duke's office, it is not easy for you to become a high official in the court?
All in all, this thing definitely has only advantages and no disadvantages.
And at the same time.
Duke An still went to the study, and he wrote letters inviting other Dukes and princes.
In the study room.
An Guogong was writing something seriously. He was very serious, while Li Bing beside him was studying ink.
After finishing writing the letter, An Guogong said seriously.
"Bing'er, you go and inform them personally. This letter must be delivered to them, let them read it, and then take it back after reading it. Do you understand?"
Duke An Guo said seriously.
"My child understands that it's just my father. Does Fan'er really have the qualifications to be a great scholar?"
Li Bing said curiously.
However, Duke An Guo shook his head and took a deep breath.
"I don't know whether Fan'er can become a great scholar, but what I do know is that."
"Xu Qingxiao should be regarded as the most talented person in the Wei Dynasty."
"We, the Wei Dynasty, may really usher in new prosperity."
"This Xu Qingxiao is worthy of deep friendship."
An Guogong spoke openly, and Li Bing was shocked by his evaluation of Xu Qingxiao.
My father is the head of the country.
I never praise others.
Even if it is a compliment, it would not be such a compliment.
"Okay, let's go."
An Guogong said, and the latter nodded and immediately ran to deliver the message.
——
I went to work on the wedding, and I still had to rehearse with the emcee. I was so confused that I deleted and deleted a lot of things in one afternoon. Finally, it was agreed upon. I just want to say a word when I come on stage. Thank you all for coming all the way. Thank you very much, everyone.
Eat well and drink well.
Well, the meaning is simple and scary, until the great road.
