Chapter 9 Brother, the Test Question Is——
[Oh, my handsome brother, go back and review your lessons! ]
Even though the room was heated by charcoal, Liu Ying and the Fifth Prince both felt a little cold.
Xiao Chuchu remembered the contents of the book.
The more she recalled, the more serious this matter seemed, which led to many serial tragedies later.
[My brother was beaten by the master and embarrassed in public. He also invited the imperial physician because of his injury and was recorded in the daily records. The emperor did not let my brother show his face at the winter festival three days later! ]
[This incident made the palace maids, eunuchs, and ministers of the previous dynasty think that my brother had lost the emperor's heart! ]
[Later, my brother was despised for a long time, so that when recommending the prince, none of the ministers considered my brother! ]
Xiao Chuchu's memories came rolling in.
The Fifth Prince was stiff for a moment, and soon his face returned to the expressionless adult state.
He reached out and touched his sister's face gratefully.
What my sister said last night came true.
Then the incident in the study room will most likely happen.
He was so worried that he didn't sleep last night and was exhausted. This morning, he learned that there was indeed a nanny, and he was even more upset.
He thought back and forth, how to prevent his mother from being buried alive with him, and how to avoid the tragedy that he was afraid of the new emperor and could not protect his grandfather's family.
In this state, he will definitely not be able to concentrate on the class in the study room today.
Even if he can recite the article after reading it a few times, he will most likely not pass the master's test today.
He will definitely be punished by the master!
It is probably true that he will be recorded by the recorder later and cannot appear in the sacrifice ceremony as a prince because of his mistakes.
The fifth prince looked at his sister gratefully, and was extremely scared.
If it weren't for his sister, he would probably not be able to escape this disaster.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Da Ying.
Mother should not be able to hear it, right?
Liu Da Ying was also anxious, but she had been much bolder after what she had experienced last night.
After all, facts have proved that a daughter's voice can be rewritten.
So Liu promised to remain calm.
After thinking for a while, he smiled at the fifth prince.
"It's the coldest time of the year, and Cheng Gan came here without a cloak. Are you cold?"
The mother really couldn't hear her sister's voice.
The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief. He just had an excuse to go back to review his studies.
"I was in a hurry to come to see my mother and sister, so I didn't feel it just now. I just realized that I was a little cold now."
Liu promised to put the hand warmer in his hand, "Your sister and I are fine, you can rest assured. The sun is not shining today, and it may rain later."
"Cheng Gan, you should go back to Ganxi Wusuo as soon as possible while the weather is still good today."
"Review your studies well in the house when it rains. The end of the year is approaching. When my mother was at home, your grandfather often checked the homework of my mother's brothers at this time."
"If you don't study well, the New Year's red envelopes will be confiscated."
The fifth prince's face was stern.
Grandfather is wise.
He immediately stood up and said, "Yes, mother. After seeing my sister, Cheng Gan is relieved. I will definitely study hard recently."
Liu agreed and nodded with a smile.
[It seems that today's test is the 14th chapter of the Analects of Confucius...]
The fifth prince was stunned.
"The Analects of Confucius" Xianwen Chapter 14?
This is exactly what we will learn today.
He strode out quickly.
*
After noon, the princes took a one-hour lunch break, and it rained heavily.
The horse riding and archery class that was supposed to be held was temporarily cancelled.
All the princes changed to the upper study room to review the scriptures.
But there was no master at this moment, and there was a lot of noise in the study room.
"Fifth brother, I heard that your sister was almost killed yesterday. Is it true?"
The sixth prince strode to the fifth prince's table.
Minpin is his biological mother. Today, the maid next to his mother sent him a message, asking him to take care of the fifth brother more in the upper study room.
Don't let him worry, let alone let him be bullied in the upper study room.
The Sixth Prince is three months younger than the Fifth Prince, but he is not active and likes to eat. His body is broader and fatter than the Fifth Prince.
"Don't worry, Fifth Brother. My mother will protect your mother and sister!" The Sixth Prince patted his chest.
The Fifth Prince looked up from the Analects, and the usual ruthlessness and coldness in his eyes melted a little, "Thank you, Sixth Brother."
"There is this matter?"
"Fifth Brother, is it true?"
The other princes looked over curiously.
"Thank you brothers for your concern. My sister is fine."
The Fifth Prince stood up and bowed to his eldest brother, fourth brother, one by one.
I don't know which new emperor my sister is talking about.
Because they were afraid that he would be praised by the people, they killed all his mother's family.
The new emperor is really cruel!
The Fifth Prince suppressed the gloom in his eyes, sat down quickly, and picked up the pen to copy books again.
The Third Prince was very bored. He thought there was something wrong, but the Fifth Prince ended it with one sentence.
He looked at the heavy rain outside the window and sighed.
"I missed my good riding and archery class."
As he said that, he took out the booklet between the books and started reading.
"Fifth brother, don't work too hard. The rest of us can't do anything, but you can take a day off to go back and see your sister when she was murdered. You can have a day off!"
The fourth prince looked at the fifth prince with envy.
He sat on the floor in the study room and felt uncomfortable.
"Fourth brother, how can you say that? Fifth brother's sister almost fell ill, which is not a good thing. How can fifth brother take this opportunity to be lazy?"
The sixth prince muttered softly.
He felt that the fourth prince was wrong.
If his mother had an accident, he would have to worry about eating less for lunch, so there was no such thing as a day off.
However, he was scratching his head while sitting behind the desk.
Looking at the Analects of Mencius in front of him, he couldn't help but be distracted, thinking about where to have dinner today.
Today is the fifteenth day, so he should go to Qi's mother's place. His mother must be chanting scriptures and eating vegetarian food again.
He doesn't like vegetarian food!
He wants to eat meat, and it would be good if he could eat fried beef meatballs today.
"Ahem."
Cheng Gan felt helpless when he saw the Sixth Prince holding a book and looking absent-minded.
The youngest of the princes in this room was the Seventh Prince, who was only five years old.
Then there was the Sixth Prince, but he was only three months younger than him.
But even though they were almost the same age, they rarely played together.
Because Concubine Qi and Concubine Li, who adopted them, did not get along well.
Although his biological mother Liu Da Ying lived with his Sixth Brother's biological mother Min Bin, according to his observation, Liu Da Ying and Min Bin did not have close contact.
So before, except for meeting in the upper study, they rarely had private contact.
And they had nothing to talk about.
The Sixth Brother liked to eat and lie down.
He himself did not like it.
Cheng Gan sighed, but when he thought of the Sixth Brother who had just stood up to speak for him and almost offended the Fourth Brother, he could not help but soften his heart.
"Sixth Brother."
Cheng Gan saw the Analects of Confucius pressed at the bottom of the table by the Sixth Brother, and his eyebrows jumped.
"This morning I went to see my sister, and my mother told me that my grandfather used to like to test the descendants of the family at the end of the year."
The Sixth Prince was stunned.
They were of similar age and sat closest. When they spoke normally, their voices were drowned out by the voices of other princes in the upper study.
No one else heard it.
Cheng Gan glanced at his sixth brother, "Have you learned the book that the master taught today?"
"If you haven't learned it, I will teach you again."
...
In less than half an hour, footsteps were heard outside the upper study.
The head master of the upper study, the president of the Hanlin Academy, Lu Zhen, walked in with two other university scholars.
"My dear princes, it rained heavily today, and we will take this opportunity to test the princes' homework in recent days."
The faces of the third and fourth princes who had been playing froze in an instant.
The Sixth Prince opened his mouth wide.
He held back and didn't look back at his fifth brother!
"Confucius said: 'Those who have virtue must have words, but those who have words do not necessarily have virtue. Those who are benevolent must have courage, but those who are courageous do not necessarily have benevolence', what does this sentence mean?"
The Sixth Prince's mouth opened even wider.
Isn't this one of the three chapters that the Fifth Brother helped him review just now!
——"Xian Wen Pian" Chapter 14!
"Please write your answers on paper for one stick of incense. Afterwards, this old minister will present the article to the Emperor for review."
