"Then you are guilty of deceiving the emperor?" the old emperor said majestically.
"Uh~ you are cheating my brother-in-law!" Old man Li was sweating in his heart, and he knelt down with a plop, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "I know I was wrong."
"Hahahaha", the old emperor suddenly laughed and said: "I like to see you being humiliated."
"Your Majesty, you scared me to death." Old man Li said with lingering fear.
"Okay, you are wrong, I am going to meet that man from Jiangning County, and I will come back to talk about the old times with you."
Looking at the old emperor's back, old man Li muttered: "Your Majesty hasn't paid yet!"
Old Wang rolled his eyes at him and said: "You are really an old man drinking arsenic, and you dare to ask the emperor for money if you think your life is too long?"
Old man Li was speechless: "..."
...
The old emperor and You Zizai came to the Huo family farm in casual clothes.
What came into view was a huge mansion, which made the old emperor frown.
He had never thought that the life of a man in Jiangning County would be so extravagant. This mansion was no worse than the wealthy families in Jinling City.
If Huo Chenan was really a man who was seeking fame, he would not mind teaching him a lesson.
When he walked to the gate of the mansion, the old emperor and You Zizai were stunned.
"The First People's College of Huojiazhuang?" The old emperor looked at the big characters on the plaque at the door and couldn't help but complain in his heart. What the hell is this? Isn't it a mansion? Is it a school?
With a lot of questions in his mind, the old emperor and You Zizai walked into the courtyard.
Entering the front yard, the view suddenly opened up. Several naughty children were playing on the neat and flat ground. In the middle of the courtyard stood a huge stone with a few lines of big characters engraved on it.
"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past sages, and open peace for the world."
With a bang, the deafening voice exploded in the old emperor's mind.
He chewed on these four sentences over and over again, "Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and open peace for all generations."
At this moment, he understood the true meaning of teaching and educating people. He now just wanted to know who wrote these four sentences. How could such a wise man be buried in the countryside?
He walked towards the boy next to him, wanting to ask who wrote these four sentences, but before he got close, the old emperor's three views were hit hard again.
I saw several boys gathered together, and in the center of them there was a circle drawn by a wooden stick, and countless glass beads were placed in the circle.
That's right, although the old emperor is old, he is definitely not dazzled. That is the glass beads regarded as treasures in the palace.
I saw that these glass beads were bright in color and round in shape, and each one was priceless.
The next moment, a naughty boy picked up a glass bead with one hand and flicked it out. The old emperor was shocked. How precious is glass? How can these naughty boys not cherish it? The old emperor felt that his worldview was being challenged. Just as the old emperor was shocked, an adult walked to the front yard and started to beat a gong. "Dangdangdang, class is about to start." The boys heard the gong and hurriedly picked up the marbles on the ground and ran back to the classroom. The old emperor and You Zizai were left in the wind. The old emperor walked to the place where the boys had played just now. There was a marble that had been left behind. The old emperor picked it up and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a glass bead. This quality of bead is worth at least 100 taels. The old emperor took a deep breath. Damn it, my inner treasury is almost broke, and you are using rare treasures as toys here. He suppressed his curiosity and walked towards the classroom. At this time, the sound of reading was heard in the classroom, "When a person is born, his nature is good..."
The old emperor nodded with satisfaction. Educating people is naturally the merit of an emperor. He walked to the door of the classroom and a couplet caught his attention.
"The sound of wind, rain and reading is pleasant to the ears, and the affairs of the country, family and the world are all of concern."
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
The owner of this room is very knowledgeable! The old emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
While the old emperor was sighing, a loud bang came from a classroom far away. The old emperor was also startled, and You Zizai jumped directly in front of the old emperor.
The door of the classroom was pushed open, and billowing smoke and dust came out of the classroom. Then seven or eight dusty people ran out from inside, coughing as they ran.
However, all this did not affect the children's reading, and they were obviously used to it.
The old emperor looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. He didn't know where he was. He even began to wonder if he had arrived at the residence of some immortal. What kind of immortal operation was this?
The old emperor stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
The Mohist disciple who was asked said, "It exploded during the experiment."
"Experiment? Explosion?" The old emperor had never heard of these new terms.
Seeing the old man's confused look, the Mohist disciple added, "My master asked us to study cement. We were studying the formula and it exploded accidentally."
"Cement?" The old emperor's worldview was challenged again.
Seeing the old man's stupid look, the Mohist disciple was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
The old emperor asked, "Young man, whose house is this?"
"This is not a house, it is a school built by my master."
Sure enough, the old emperor showed a look of understanding, and he continued to ask, "Who wrote the four sentences on the boulder and the couplet on the door?"
