The next day, the fourth day of February, the martial arts hall officially opened. From today on, all students are not allowed to leave the martial arts hall except on rest days. The students who sneaked out to play last night have all returned to class obediently.
Even those students living in the capital who were reluctant to come to class after listening to Yunxi's speech yesterday came to class under the guidance of their father's "persuasive education".
Yunxi did not arrange any classes for himself that day. The next day, the fifth day of February, the second big class in the morning, Yunxi came to take the history class.
The 'classroom' that Yunxi designed for daily classes is similar to the current primary and secondary school classrooms, but the class format is the same as that of later universities. Each classroom is 8×8 with a total of sixty-four tables and chairs, and two classes share the class.
When different classes have joint lessons, it is guaranteed that each class will have about the same number of joint lessons as the other nine classes in a year.
Yunxi was afraid that they would fight, so the seats in the classroom were divided into half and half vertically, and then each class arranged its own arrangement. Needless to say, the 'important' classes had to be in the front if the families were well-off, and the 'unimportant' classes where the families were well-off
's at the back.
This class was taught by Yunxi, so Yunxi glanced at it when he entered the classroom. Seven of the eight students sitting in the first row were known to Yunxi. Both their fathers and ancestors were princes. The other one was not
I know him, but at least he is from the commanding family.
Yunxi stood still in front of the podium, and all the students stood up and saluted and said, "I have met His Highness the Emperor Taisun."
Yunxi nodded and motioned for them to sit down. He originally wanted them to call him 'sir' in Jianwu Hall, but this aroused firm opposition from Qi Tai and others. Yunxi comforted himself with 'substance is greater than form', so he gave up.
own opinion.
Yunxi's eyes scanned the classroom a few more times. The originally bustling classroom suddenly became silent. Yunxi secretly sighed that he was younger than everyone else below, but now he came to teach them. It was really interesting.
Yunxi said: "Now I am going to start the lecture. First of all, have you read history books before? Raise your hands if you have read at least one of the twenty-two histories such as "Historical Records". If you have not read it, don't raise your hands casually.
Hands-on, those who will be called out by the Guhui for inspection. You can also read "Warring States Policy", "Guoyu" and the like."
At that time, there was no such thing as "Twenty-Four Histories", but he cited the example of "Historical Records" and everyone understood what he was talking about.
All the students below raised their hands, and Yunxi pointed to Geng Bingwen's second son Geng Rui, who was sitting in the first row, and said: "Geng Rui, get up."
Geng Rui visibly trembled when his name was called, and then stood up slowly.
Yunxi thought that he might not have really named someone who was pretending to be someone, but since he had already named someone, he had to ask. He asked: "Geng Rui, can you tell me which history book you have read?"
Geng Rui replied in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have read the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, but not the others."
Yunxi saw that although he was afraid, he seemed to be afraid of himself, not like he was talking nonsense because he had never read a book, so he first said: "From now on, you can call yourself a student, you don't have to call yourself a minister." He said it again to all the students.
Then asked: "Why have you only read "Three Kingdoms" alone?"
Geng Rui replied: "Your Highness, I, I love reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", my eldest brother said that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was fabricated and different from "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms"; therefore I read it.
"Three Kingdoms"."
Yunxi thought to himself: It turns out that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been written into a book. I must ask Wang Bu to buy a copy after class. This is the first edition of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". If it can be brought back to modern times, it will be a priceless treasure. But Geng Rui
The reason mentioned is quite unique in this era.
Yunxi nodded and asked him to sit down, and then asked a few random people. Sure enough, no one gave him the same reasons as Geng Rui. They were all very serious reasons.
Yunxi continued: "Since the students have read history books, let's start today's first lesson." Yunxi turned around and wrote with a brush on the wooden board behind him: "History of Pre-Qin Dynasty."
Although Yunxi had determined that the purpose of his course was to tell them that if a dynasty perished, they, the hereditary people, would not have a good end, but he could not be too explicit, so he started from the third generation in order.
Yunxi said: "The history of China begins with Yanhuang, which refers to Huangdi and Yandi..."
Not everyone present may be interested in history, but no one dared to desert. Moreover, Yunxi did not teach history as rigidly as the teachers at that time. Yunxi unconsciously used various teaching methods of modern history teachers and tried to use fun methods.
He taught in a traditional way and unconsciously brought out a lot of modern vocabulary.
This kind of teaching method was something that people at this time had never been exposed to before, and it couldn't help but attract everyone's attention. Unknowingly, a small class period passed.
Yunxi had never given a lecture before. As soon as he started to give a lecture, especially when there was no one who was deserting, he was immediately immersed in the lecture. It was not until the bell rang that he realized that he was actually in the middle of the lecture.
I finished the class without any pause.
There was a break for burning incense. Yunxi sat next to the podium to rest. The students below were talking a lot. Although no one spoke loudly, the classroom was still very lively.
After a while, the break ended. Yunxi started to lecture again. The Three Dynasties (referring to Xia, Shang and Zhou) had been finished. There were very few historical materials during the Three Dynasties period, basically only the "Historical Records" which was not sure whether it was true or not. It was not easy for Yunxi to make up nonsense.
So summarize it in a short lesson.
Next came the Spring and Autumn Period. Yunxi talked for a while, talked about one thing, and said: "Does anyone know what happened in the twelfth year of King Wen of Chu?"
This class is a joint lesson between Class 3 of Lu Normal University and Class 4 of Lu Normal University. Guo Wei replied: "The Chu family records in "Historical Records": Chu people destroyed Deng."
"What will happen to Deng Guo Shiqing next?"
"The Chu soldiers plundered their property and property, and the remaining people became citizens."
"When Deng fell, didn't Chu let the family members of these ministers continue to be ministers of Chu?"
"There is no record in history books."
"Your answer is very good. I will give you one point for Class 4." After he said this, Class 4 monitor Cao Zhen's eldest son Cao Xing was obviously happy, and other students also looked good.
Yunxi implemented a class points system. If the students in the class perform well, the class will be given extra points. In the final evaluation of the class with the highest score, all students will be given a first-class rating, not to mention the high evaluation that the monitor will definitely receive, so the fourth class
The students are very happy.
However, Guo Wei's answer did say everything he wanted to say. He fully expressed the situation that the country was dead and the hereditary ministers would not end well. Yunxi had nothing to add. He couldn't be too straightforward.
(It’s actually very straightforward).
Yunxi then told another story. When the time came, Yunxi announced that get out of class was over.
It was already close to 2:00 noon, and the students walked out of the classroom and ran to the cafeteria. However, students from Classes 3 and 4 gathered together in twos and threes and were still talking about the lesson that Yun Xi had just finished.
Most people were talking about Yunxi's new teaching methods and the new words, but two people were talking about the purpose of Yunxi's lectures.
One of them was Qi Changxing, a former commander of the Dengzhou Guards in Shandong Province. He said to the person next to him: "After listening to His Highness's lecture, I now know why His Highness has to give the lecture in person."
The other person was Qin Song, who was born in a thousand families of Jinwu avant-garde in the capital. He was also the younger brother of Qin Nan, the bodyguard around Yunxi. He said: "What Your Highness said today was too explicit. He was pointing at our noses and saying: 'You guys You must be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise your descendants will not end well.'"
"I once heard from my brother that His Highness said the term 'ideological education'. This is what His Highness meant by ideological education."
At this time, in a restaurant outside the martial arts hall, Lian Zining was also saying similar words to Yunxi.
Today, because Yunxi had a class in the afternoon, he did not go back to the palace at noon. Yunxi was afraid that he would be drugged while eating at the martial arts hall, so he always ate at restaurants near the martial arts hall.
At this time, Qi Tai and others were not here. Lian Zining saw that only Yunxi, he and Wang Bu were at the table. So he said: "Your Highness, the purpose of teaching this class is to let these hereditary military generals know that they must cooperate with the Ming Dynasty." Be single-minded, otherwise if something happens to the Ming Dynasty, they will not end well."
Yunxi touched his nose and said, "Do you understand Gu's lecture so well?"
Lian Zining said: "His Royal Highness's lecture was very exciting, and even the ministers were fascinated by it. This may be able to conceal some of the purpose. I only thought of it because I am very familiar with the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, so I was not fascinated by it."
"But Your Highness had better be more careful in the future. I'm afraid some smart people have heard what His Highness meant, but it doesn't matter just one lesson. If you preach like this again and again, I'm afraid it will bore them, which is not good."
Because Lian Zining was a civil servant, and civil servants were not hereditary, he could make comments aloof. If Yunxi touched the interests of the civil servants, he might not be able to be so free and easy.
After listening to Lian Zining's words, Yunxi realized that he was too explicit. He secretly thought that he must restrain himself. So the afternoon class was very secretive. After class, Lian Zining said that he had not heard Yunxi's purpose at all.
After that, Yunxi began to attend classes step by step, and at the same time, he paid attention to observing the talents of these people who could reconcile his own thoughts.
At the same time, he was also preparing a memorial to Lao Zhu, a very important memorial.
On February 28th, after Yunxi and Lao Zhu had dinner together in the evening, Lao Zhu finished explaining what Yunxi didn't understand about the memorial he had given. Just when Lao Zhu was about to say, "Yunxi, you can go back." At that time, Yunxi took out a memorial with a very solemn expression, bowed and said to Lao Zhu: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has a copy, please read it to Your Majesty." He said that he was going to hand the memorial to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Yunxi, if you have something to do, you can't just discuss it with grandpa face to face. Why do you need to make it so formal and write a memorial?"
Yunxi said: "It's a very important matter, and my grandson thinks it's better to be more formal."
Lao Zhu listened to what he said solemnly and took the memorial. When he opened it, the eye-catching title read: Please change the tax exemption for the fields of the imperial examination scholars.
