"Old Master Xie naturally found that the little princess impressed him, but if he continued to talk with the little princess, he found that there were many things that he couldn't argue with this seemingly idle little princess, especially those truths that he believed to be eternal.
!”
"He also told the little princess the story of "King Gou Jian of Yue lying on his back and tasting his gall." King Wu Fu Chai got carried away with himself and became arrogant. King Gou Jian of Yue, who had tolerated him for many years, took advantage of his loopholes and ended up in a disastrous end. We should learn from the past and let future generations learn from it!"
"What did Iron Rooster say this time?" Feng Changhuan was very interested.
Feng Qingcheng said: "The little princess didn't think so. Instead, she told Old Master Xie that things shouldn't be viewed this way. When reading history books, you must learn to see the real history and learn to analyze it yourself!"
"The little princess said: Everyone thought that King Wu Fu Chai was stupid and let the tiger return to the mountain. In fact, Fu Chai had never done anything wrong in sparing Gou Jian and immortalizing the Yue Kingdom. This was not stupidity, but the only thing he could do under the circumstances.
, there is no other choice.”
The corner of Feng Junhan's mouth raised an intoxicating arc of unnoticeable appreciation. He held the porcelain white teacup with his slender fingers and stroked the tea lid, calm and elegant!
Jiang Nanyan smiled slightly, already knowing that there must be many things about this Jingwan that amaze him!
"Of course Old Master Xie didn't believe it, but what the little princess said next made him stunned. The little princess said that the history of the Yue State is older than that of the Wu State, and its national power is not much worse than that of the Wu State. How easy is it to eat it in one go?"
"With Wu's ability, it is not difficult to defeat Yue, but if you want to swallow up Yue, you don't have such a big appetite."
"If the Yue State is really pushed into a desperate situation and both sides fight to the death, it will not benefit the Wu State at all. There will be few seizures and many casualties. Both sides will suffer losses. The national strength will be greatly damaged, and the then third-party power Chu State will benefit.
It’s not the best solution.”
"But the King of Wu accepted the surrender and spoils of war and made Yue a vassal state of Wu. This was the best choice for Wu. It used the smallest price to get the greatest results."
"Besides, after King Wu accepted the surrender, he could never kill Gou Jian or go back on his word. Under the circumstances, if he ignored the covenant between the two countries and killed Gou Jian who had surrendered, King Wu Fu Chai would no longer be able to survive among the allies.
Already."
"The little princess also said that the reason why King Wu was defeated in the end was not because he did not take the opportunity to kill Gou Jian and give the opponent a chance to breathe!"
"But without fully absorbing the Yue State, they attacked Qi State, tormented the Jin State, and carried out large-scale construction projects in the country. This young empire has not accumulated enough capital for the monarch to squander it!"
"As time went by, there were naturally internal and external troubles, and the results can be imagined. However, King Wu did not destroy the Yue Kingdom and did not kill Gou Jian. It was completely correct. The world misunderstood King Wu!"
Feng Qingcheng said slowly: "The words of the little princess were like enlightenment, which shocked Old Master Xie so much that he has always remembered them freshly and has hardly forgotten a word!"
Feng Changhuan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, right? These far-sighted and far-sighted words actually came from the mouth of a man who was only thinking about money and was vulgar?
Of course Feng Qingcheng knew everyone's surprise: "I was also surprised when I first heard it. I was very doubtful that Jingwan could actually say such things? But Mr. Xie swore that these words were said by the little princess. He
His father told him himself, almost word for word!"
"What happened next?" Feng Junhan asked lightly with a pleasant smile.
Feng Qingcheng said: "The little princess said that Old Master Xie's classes in the past three days have been very good, but there are some things that can be discussed. The more Old Master Xie listened, the more frightened he became. This seemingly careless little princess, he thought she didn't listen at all.
, who knew that he didn’t miss a word of what he said!”
"The little princess told Mr. Xie that the way of a teacher is not just about teaching and solving doubts. Reading history makes people wise and remembering the past and the future. However, one cannot stay in the history books and stand still. He must learn to stand in the footsteps of his predecessors.
Only when we look at things from our shoulders can we truly make progress!"
"The little princess said that as a famous teacher in the imperial capital, Old Master Xie is extremely talented, knowledgeable, famous, and has students all over the world. He should teach students to think about problems in their own way. Not every student must have great ambitions and become famous.
To start a family, you just need to find your own position and live your own wonderful life. An ordinary thing can achieve excellence if you do it with your heart, such as "The Cooking Ding Jie Niu"!"
"Also, as an enlightenment teacher, we must tell students that people can be ordinary, but they cannot be mediocre, lack ideals, lack pursuits, mediocrity, and waste their years!"
Feng Changhuan said in surprise: "Who is teaching whom? Tie Gongji is teaching Old Master Xie?"
Feng Qingcheng couldn't help laughing: "Old Master Xie was ashamed. He felt that what the little princess said made his back shiver. He knew that he might not be able to teach this seemingly unruly and willful little princess. If the little princess is not serious,
What he said when he got serious made him speechless!"
Feng Changhuan regained his breath and asked strangely: "That's strange. If that's the case, it should be that Old Master Xie felt that he couldn't teach Iron Rooster, so he just took the initiative to submit his resignation to Princess Jiang. Why didn't it turn out to be Iron Rooster?
What? And you pissed off seven gentlemen in one month?"
Jiang Nanyan said slowly: "Old Master Xie is a famous teacher in Kyoto that all the major families are vying to invite. He is well-read in poetry and books, has great talents, has a high self-esteem, and is famous for being broad-minded. When he was shocked by Jingwan, more thoughts welled up in his heart.
You must be unwilling to accept it, right?"
Jiangnan Yan smiled faintly, most literati claimed to be noble and lofty. Old Master Xie boasted of reading poetry and books all over the world, but his insights and vision were not as good as those of Jing Wan, a seventeen-year-old princess at the time. He was still refuted and speechless. If this is true,
After going out, a lifetime of fame is no match for a young girl, how can she show it on her face?
What's more, Jingwan has her own purpose. She hides it deeply. She doesn't want anyone to know, especially her father. She also doesn't want to listen to some rude words all day long. She doesn't want anyone to come again.
Teach her these things that she already knows, and she will naturally think of a reasonable way to end this study career!
Feng Qingcheng laughed out loud, "You think it's funny even when I say it. Do you know why it was rumored later that Jingwan was the one who made fun of Mr.? That's true!"
Feng Changhuan was particularly interested in Iron Rooster's affairs, "What did Iron Rooster do again?"
Feng Qingcheng suppressed her smile, "When Old Master Xie went to the academy on the fourth day, he was almost frightened to death. The academy was filled with all kinds of animals, including rabbits, kittens, and puppies.
There were chickens, ducks, goslings, everything, it was a real whirlwind of fun. At that time, the little princess was having a great time playing with these little animals, and the academy was in a mess!"
"Princess Jiang came after hearing the news and saw that the whole academy was in a mess. She was so angry that her chickens and dogs were restless!"
"Mr. Xie, how many things have you seen in wealthy mansions in your life? This is the first time you see something like this. You are immediately dumbfounded and at a loss. What does the little princess want to do? Suddenly you caught a glimpse of the cunning look in the little princess's eyes, and you suddenly understood in your heart that the little princess
The Lord’s intention!”
Feng Changhuan laughed and said, "So Old Master Xie just goes with the flow?"
Feng Qingcheng nodded, "Old Master Xie immediately walked away, saying that he could not teach such an unruly and willful little princess."
Feng Changhuan said suddenly: "Tie Gongji didn't want to listen to the lecture anymore, and he wanted to give Old Master Xie a step down, so he made such a scene and took all the notoriety on himself. Old Master Xie saved his face and frankly said that he couldn't teach like this
The little princess who is naughty and disrespectful of teachers, Princess Jiang, seeing the mess in the courtyard and the carefree and contented look on her face, does not feel that she has gone too far at all, naturally she has nothing to say!"
Feng Junhan just smiled and said nothing, what a cute little fox!
Feng Qingcheng said: "Although Old Master Xie's face has been saved, he has been unable to feel at ease after returning home. It is obvious that he really cannot teach the little princess, but in the eyes of the world, it is the little princess who is naughty and unreasonable. He is angry with him.
Thanks to the little princess for saving his face, on the other hand, he also felt deeply guilty, which was contrary to the teachings of the saints, and could not calmly face the fact that a seventeen-year-old woman's knowledge of historical records was much higher than his. As time went by, the thought
This makes me feel ashamed and ashamed!"
Feng Changhuan said suddenly: "I used to hear that these masters said they really couldn't teach the little princess. Now it seems that they really can't teach them. It's a pity that no one understands the true meaning of those words, and no one is willing to admit that they are famous teachers.
, I can’t teach the Iron Rooster, it’s a loss of face, so I choose to keep it secret and keep my mouth shut!”
"As soon as Old Master Xie hears someone saying that the little princess of Prince Jiang's house is naughty and has bad conduct, he starts to feel ashamed, although he doesn't know why the little princess brings the bad name to himself?
"But he couldn't face the clear current in his heart. The sage said that disciples don't have to be inferior to their teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than their disciples. But he couldn't accept this extremely talented student calmly. He always felt that it would make him lose face in his life.
sweep the floor!"
"Before his death, Mr. Xie told his son that what he knows is known, and what he doesn't know is not known. He should admit his ignorance frankly. When facing people whose talents are much higher than his own, he should humbly ask for advice. Don't be like him and save your face for a moment.
Unable to face the condemnation in my own heart, let alone the little princess!"
After Feng Qingcheng finished speaking, everyone fell into silence. On the one hand, they were moved by Old Master Xie's guilt, and even more shocked by Jing Wan's deep gaze. This kind of insight and knowledge can be called an emperor's teacher.
Feng Junhan thought of Jing Wan, with a gentle smile on his lips.
Feng Qingcheng never imagined that Jing Wan could hide herself to such an extent. If her father had not granted marriage to the second brother, but him or the fourth brother, she probably wouldn't be able to stand Jing Jing for three days. She would have thought of a way to take Jing Jing away
