Zhao Xi didn't know if this was asking for trouble, but it seemed that he liked this kind of life.
At dawn, Zhao Xi would be called to get up, and then someone would help him dress and wear a hat, and he could do it all by himself with his eyes closed, until he did the washing up and eating.
The professionalism of these palace maids and eunuchs serving people is really not comparable to that of the service industry in later generations.
After everything is sorted out, he will be led and escorted by a young eunuch named Wang Zhongzheng to Zishan Hall to receive education, which is called entering the school.
Wang Zhong was the one who Queen Cao and Lao Chen Lin wanted to come over. When Zhao Xi first woke up, it was this boy who accompanied the Queen into the Palace of Prayer. Zhao Xi still had some impression of him. Although he was a eunuch, this boy was somewhat heroic and not a sissy.
.
Sometimes Zhao Xi wants to see if he is really imperfect and not end up with a bunch of non-blood siblings.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that my father has no descendants, and of course I am an exception.
Today is the first day of school.
On the same day, the nine links were solved, and the princes advised him to go to school. The father was unwilling to bear it, but fortunately the queen also had the same intention. Even Zhao Xi himself finally said: Dad, the child wants to go to school.
The teacher recommended by his husband to his father was named Sun Fu. Zhao Xi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember who this was.
My knowledge of history is just what I learned from the textbooks of later generations, and then there are the TV series, which seem to be inaccurate now.
Judging from the unanimous agreement among the brothers-in-law, it seems that this teacher is not an unknown person. After all, his prince is unique. Neither the brothers-in-law nor the father will slack off in their education.
"Zhongzheng, is Zishan Hall far away?"
Zhao Xi didn't know how to call the little eunuch. As for titles like little prince, he knew that he wouldn't call him that at this time. Eunuch and eunuch didn't seem to be the right names for his status, so he just called him by his first name.
"It's not too far to go back to the prince."
"How about we go for a run?"
This... Wang Zhongzheng was dumbfounded. He understood the rules in the palace, but was this the prince's request or the only prince's request? He didn't know for a moment whether it was okay or not.
Looking at the lantern in front and the guard of honor in the back, I still feel it is inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, guard of honor..."
"Leave them alone."
Anyway, I am just a baby, I can do whatever I want. Besides, even if I start running, this group of people should be able to keep up, it's just a little chaotic.
Zhao Xi felt that getting up so early and not exercising would be a waste.
Zhao Xi was too lazy to talk anymore. He was the boss in this team, so they could only follow.
I really looked down on this group of people. After all, they were still serving the royal family, and they had no discipline at all. Before they had even taken a few steps, the entire team was in chaos.
"Wait a minute...you all listen to me. I call one, you step your left foot, call two, step your right foot, and stay in the original position. You can't run around!"
Zhao Xi shouted, and they were almost at Zishan Hall. Not only was it not neat, but it was becoming more and more messy.
"stop!"
It's more troublesome than training new recruits. The recruits have some basic knowledge at least, but these... are just a bunch of idiots, simply stupid... Forget it, if they were smart, they would not have entered the palace in the early years.
"Zhongzheng, I'm in class, what are you doing?"
"Go back to your lord, the young ones will be waiting."
"In this case, you find a place to train them. Just train them for about one or two times. When they walk normally, they walk in step, and when they run away, they run. Remember."
"I understand. Your Majesty, please stop?"
"Stop and shout! Remember, train them out for me, and then come to school. We have to run forward!"
In front of a group of stupid servants, Zhao Xi didn't have any taboos, so he could say whatever he wanted. Anyway, they only knew that Prince E was smart, and they accepted that he was a little different from ordinary people.
Zhao Xi thought that Zishan Hall was just a room with a few tables, a podium, a blackboard and so on. However, when Wang Zhongzheng took him there, he realized that it was a palace complex, or a large courtyard.
There are all the main hall and side halls, and it is also the third courtyard.
The key is that there are actually many people coming in and out...
"Zhongzheng, are you all here to study?"
"Back to your lord, this is a public house. Most of them are used to organize classics, give lectures, read and consult materials. There are also eunuchs and miscellaneous servants."
It turns out to be a library? This is good, as I can save myself from being alone with the teacher in such a huge hall.
Sun Fu failed in many examinations and concentrated on studying for more than 20 years. He thought that this would be the end of his life. Unexpectedly, last year, on the recommendation of Prime Minister Fan and Prime Minister Fu, he was awarded the title of Imperial College Secretary, Secretary Pavilion School Secretary, and so on.
Use what you learn.
The day before yesterday, the servant announced the decree and found out that he had been recommended to serve Prince E again.
Sun Fu was committed to cultivating talents and preaching Confucianism, so he would not refuse. As for the enlightenment of young children, this was not his first time.
Sun Fu heard that Prince E was precociously intelligent, and in Sun Fu's opinion, it was just for the emperor's needs and the people's exaggeration.
However, he was still waiting in the school at midnight.
"Good morning, Teacher Sun."
Zhao Xi didn't know how to address the teacher this year, and he had to address himself due to his own identity, so he simply learned to address him according to future generations.
"My lord, Mingfu does not dare to be my teacher. I am here to serve as my lord. I dare not call you that. Your lord, you can call me Mingfu."
The position of emperor's teacher is not something that a low-ranking official like me can do. Even if he is actually teaching, the prince is destined to be the prince, and even his majesty, so he must not be so rash in claiming the title of teacher.
"Then let me call you sir."
Zhao Xi didn't argue about it. He thought it didn't matter. Since they were polite, he would just change the explanation.
Back to business, Zhao Xi also started his first class.
"Your Majesty has not yet been enlightened. Today, Mingfu will introduce you to the Thousand-Character Essay. Your Majesty only needs to follow along and you can recognize and memorize the characters as you please."
Zhao Xi looked at the books placed in front of him, which were still open, and felt a little confused.
Shouldn't it start with a simple word like "upper, middle, lower, mouth"? How come the world is so dark and yellow as soon as it comes on stage...
There is also a mark after this word... Is this Pinyin? Go ahead! Memorizing Pinyin is better than just memorizing the word.
Zhao Xi is not illiterate. For him, the so-called literacy means re-recognizing the traditional Chinese characters. It seems not difficult. When he was young, his father also taught traditional Chinese characters.
The sky and the earth are black and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are waxing and waning, the constellations are arrayed, the cold is coming, the summer is coming, the autumn is harvesting, and the winter is hiding...
After reading it again, Zhao Xi basically recognized everything except for a few rare words.
This is not the most important thing. He feels that it is easy to remember if he reads it rhythmically and adds rhyme.
"Your Majesty, may I write down a few paragraphs?"
After reading it five times, Sun Fu asked. He also wanted to explore Prince E's intelligence.
"Sir, please check."
Zhao Xi stood up... In his impression, respecting teachers and moral principles seemed to be more important in ancient times than in later generations.
Zhao Xi took down the book on his desk, then seemed to sort out the uncommon words in his mind, and then began to recite.
It seems that it is really not difficult, it is only a thousand words. Thinking back to the speech draft of four to five thousand words without any rhythm, he could memorize it all in a long time. This is really nothing.
He was immersed in this unique rhythm, but he didn't know that Sun Fu was already stunned. When Zhao Xi recited about 300 words, Sun Fu was already convinced... Is Prince E really smart, or is it beyond the reach of ordinary people?
