Be a master through ancient times

Seeing that the students from other schools had calmed down after hearing his words, Chu Ci said, "The purpose of offering sacrifices to Confucius this time is not just to educate the people through this matter, we also need to use this form to , to show my great Wei demeanor and let the foreign countries surrender. At that time, the people in the capital and the foreign missions will come here to watch. This is a good opportunity to become famous. This is the end of my business. If you still want to leave, please do so.”

The students looked at each other in blank dismay, and the person who had just said that he was going to leave was also silent.They are not like the students of Guozijian, they can go directly to the provincial examination, and if they fail the local examination, there are also court examinations and six-part examinations, and their careers are bright.Before the township examination, they had to go back to their hometown to take the three county examinations.How many people have wasted their years in these three games and ended up with nothing.If it weren't for the low income at home, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to support their families.

If, as Chu Siye said, they can make a name for themselves with this matter, then even if they fail in the future, they can still find a small job in various yamen in the capital, and then try to develop.

"What? Is no one leaving? Since everyone has chosen to stay, please follow the arrangement of our company for the next month or so. If there is any violation, you will be expelled." Chu Siye glanced around The students present saw the tension on their faces with satisfaction.Only by changing from "want me to act" to "I want to act" can these students not slack off.

"What we are going to perform is the story of old master Confucius and his sages. You are also familiar with various collections of classics and history. Who will tell you, what stories do you know about the sage Confucius?" Chu Ci asked.

"Xiaosheng knows!" A student from another school was about to stand up, Zhu Feng immediately pulled off his sleeves, and made him sit down quickly while Chu Ci was not paying attention.

"Why don't you raise your hand? Chu Siye didn't pick you, how can you stand up by yourself?" Zhu Feng's expression of how you don't follow the rules made the student a little puzzled.

"Why do you have to raise your hand? How do you raise your hand?" The student asked humbly, thinking that this was a long-standing rule of the Imperial College.

"Raising your hand is to tell Master that you know how to do it. But you can't just stand up, it's so rude! You can only stand up and answer after Master picks you up. Well, that's how you raise your hand!" Zhu Feng said , Bian proudly raised his right hand, and raised it very straight.

"Okay, then please ask Zhu Feng to share with us a story he knows about Confucius." Chu Ci clapped his hands, and the students from the Imperial College followed closely. The students from other schools were stunned for a moment, and then encouraged clap up.

Zhu Feng looked confused: "I...I'm not..."

"Stop talking, Chu Siye is waiting, go up, hahaha!" Zhu Mingyue pushed Zhu Feng up with a few smiles.

"Zhu Feng, what stories have you heard?" Chu Ci looked at Zhu Feng with relief, as expected of his student, and knew how to help him grow his face. He took the lead when no one else raised their hands.

"Uh...I..." Zhu Feng faltered, his face flushed, and after a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Ah, I've heard a story about two children debating the sun!"

Then, he began to tell the story.But he didn't remember very clearly, so he started to make up things and told this short story for a long time.

"Everyone has heard Zhu Feng's story, do you have anything to say?" Chu Ci chuckled and asked the students below.

A student from another school raised his hand, who was sitting next to Zhu Feng just now.

"Okay, tell me." Chu Ci invited with his palm.

The student stood up, first bowed to Chu Ci and the students below, and then said: "Xiaosheng's name is Meng Yuan, and he is a student of Shaoshan Academy. Xiaosheng has also heard the story told by brother Zhu just now." , but...it seems to be far from what Brother Zhu said. I don't know if there are gaps in Xiaosheng's reading, or..."

Zhu Feng stared at him with his eyes, but he taught him to raise his hand just now, so he dared to demolish his platform?

"Hahaha, you are right. The story just now is indeed somewhat different from the original story. But what I want to say is that we still have to tell it like this today!"

Hearing that Chu Ci agreed with him, Zhu Feng became proud instantly, his waist straightened, wishing his nostrils could be turned upside down.

"Why? How can the sage's words be tampered with at will?" Someone objected.

Chu Ci knew that if he didn't convince these students today, more things would happen in the rehearsal later, so he let Zhu Feng go down first, and then spoke slowly.

"It is true that the words of the sages should not be tampered with at will, but you can say them in your own words. Suppose we want to explain to those who have never read what is 'human nature is good at the beginning', what would you say?"

Chu Ci saw that everyone was thinking, and then said: "We are doing this to convey the words of the sage to the common people, so they can naturally be interpreted in a way that the common people are familiar with. If we still rely on the status of a scholar, it is not If that doesn’t work, how can we talk about educating people? Moreover, in Zhu Feng’s story just now, even when old Master Confucius faced two ignorant children, his attitude was still gentle and polite, and his old man never looked down on others, let alone you?”

The students present did not dare to look directly at Chu Ci's gentle but sharp eyes, and all lowered their heads.They are indeed proud of their reading and courtesy, and they always have a sense of superiority when facing those ordinary people.The reason why they have high demands on themselves is because they want to isolate themselves from those people through this behavior.Chu Siye's word today was like a sap knocked down.They utter the words of saints on weekdays and imitate what saints do in everything, but they have not even learned the most basic virtues of saints. This is simply too ridiculous...

The students of the Imperial College also recalled every detail of Chu Siye, and then they found that Chu Siye was polite to the servants who cleaned the house, the bearer who carried the sedan chair, and the lady who helped the kitchen. From him, you can't see the slightest aloofness.Before, they thought it was an act of disregarding their status, but now they know that Chu Siye is the one who really reads and knows how to be polite!

"Well, you don't have to look like this. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, as long as we do the next thing well, so that the story of the saint can spread across the country. Now, who will share what you have heard? A story about Confucius?"

The following raised their hands in a "swipe" manner, and Chu Ci randomly picked one up, then stepped aside and began to record the story told by the student.

In fact, he also knows many stories about Confucius. Originally, he could decide the content of the script by himself.But in this case, those students will have less sense of participation.If they tell it themselves, on the one hand, if they choose this story, it can bring them some self-confidence. On the other hand, he also wants to know which stories are the most widely circulated.The most important thing is to leave a deep impression on everyone. Of course, we must choose the most popular one.

The students came up to share one by one, and some of them had never even heard of Chuci himself, so he listened very carefully.Most of these students are bold and unrestrained, standing on top of them gracefully, without any twitching appearance, which is quite good.

After listening to all the stories, Chu Ci asked for everyone's opinions, and finally decided on a few stories.There are stories of Yan Hui picking up the dust, Confucius' apprenticeship, disciples and grasshoppers, and Confucius teaching Ran Youzilu in accordance with his aptitude, and Confucius' disciples harvesting cattle after saving people.These stories reflect the benevolence and great wisdom of Confucius, and they sound interesting.

"Then next, our department will divide everyone into groups. Each group consists of 12 people. They are responsible for writing and revising the script, and a special person is responsible for the interpretation, preparing the props to be used and other tedious matters. What each person is responsible for It's up to you to discuss on your own. Just remember that since the tasks are assigned, you must do your own work well. If there is a problem with any joint, I will only find the person in charge of that matter, understand?" Everyone Nodding seriously, Chu Ci smiled, and then began to roll call and group.

He separated the people from each academy, and then asked the people in the same group to sit together and start discussing how to write scripts and how to make their own stories not so ordinary.In order to give everyone a reference, Chu Ci made up a short script on the spot based on the story of two children fighting against the sun.After reading it, everyone was full of praise. If Chu Siye wrote it like this, the story would be much more interesting, and it would be easier for the performers.

Chu Ci watched each group of students start to discuss enthusiastically, and the smile on his face couldn't stop.He circled around their seats, and sometimes when they ran out of words, Chu Ci would go over to give some advice.

After deciding on the textbook and drama, in the next two days, Chu Ci gathered the best students selected from various academies in a teaching dormitory and began to teach them.

These people are worthy of being the best, all of them can understand a little bit, and draw inferences from one instance, which makes it very satisfying for a teacher to teach.However, he did not teach alone.Besides him, there are Gu Jiancheng and Kou Jing.

When Gu Jiancheng approached him in Chuci, he thought that Chuci was here to find fault.After he sold his leave, he returned to the Imperial College.On weekdays, he would do whatever Chu Ci arranged, and he would not make any mistakes.

When Chu Ci explained the purpose of coming, Gu Jiancheng was very complicated.Chu Ci entrusted him with such an important matter, isn't he afraid that he will play tricks behind his back?Or did Chu Ci just want to use this opportunity to eradicate him?

When Chu Ci saw Gu Jiancheng's complicated expression, he had already guessed roughly what he was thinking.Chu Ci didn't explain much, just said "the doubter is not used, the employer is not suspicious", and gave him the task of teaching the classics and history collection.As for Chu Ci himself, he taught nine chapters of arithmetic and astronomy and geography.It also includes some very "flexible" question types, referred to as "special for cheating people".

If the members of the mission abide by etiquette and only focus on learning, then these questions do not need to be used.If they thought about slapping Da Wei in the face, they would be embarrassed.Chu Ci had to let them know what it means not to step down.

What Kou Jing taught was of course horseback riding, archery and boxing kung fu, which happened to be the most difficult to teach.Weak scholars are much more difficult to teach than those tough brats in the military camp!
