Lanke Chess Edge

In the Dazhen Imperial Palace, in the Provincial Hongwen Museum, several princes and princesses ranging in age from ten to teens are studying here, and Yin Zhaoxian's second son, Yin Zhong, is also studying here, as the companions of the princes and princesses.

Strictly speaking, the last among these princes to learn may become Yin Zhaoxian's apprentice in the future, but that is also a real dragon among men, because the current Emperor Dazhen has said earlier that Yin Zhaoxian will also be the prince and tutor in the future.

It is equivalent to whoever recognizes Yin Zhaoxian as the master in the future, he will be the prince or the candidate for the prince. Although there will be tendencies such as the emperor's preference, but this is different from the emperor Yuande. , rather than suppressing everyone.

It is actually not easy to be a prince and a high-ranking official's son. If you are a dandy with no ambitions, it's fine. If you want to go further, you will be subject to stricter requirements. They are almost thirty years old, but they have classes every day.

At this moment, above the big study room of the Hongwen Museum, an old Confucian student with a book in his hand was muttering something.

"Learn the six arts to control the body, learn the high virtues to control the heart, and learn the long skills to control the world..."

While reading, the old gentleman glanced down at the students sitting in front of the table, all of them were sitting upright, but most of them were careless in their eyes, and some even whispered to each other, so the words stopped.

Hearing the sound quiet down, the children below all sat upright. The young teachers and old students glanced at a prince sitting in front.

"Your Majesty, this is the first time I learned "Cultivating a Gentleman" today. This old man asks you, can you give me an example of the long skills mentioned in the book to control the world?"

The prince who was called was a little nervous, and subconsciously asked for help in a low voice.

"Uh, Tiger..."

Hu'er is Yin Zhong's nickname, not only at home, but also with Yin Zhong's close friends, and Yin Zhong is indeed very strong, bigger than other children of the same age.

"Don't ask others for help!"

The old man said something seriously.

"Your Majesty, please answer yourself."

"Uh... To control the world... You need to understand the meaning of the scriptures, know the right and wrong, and learn from the past and the present..."

The eldest prince talked for a while, but couldn't continue.

"hehe……"

The old master smiled and looked at Yin Zhong.

"Yin Zhong, since His Highness asked you for help, how about you answer?"

Yin Zhong frowned and thought for a while.

"Master, you also said that "Cultivating a Gentleman" is the first time you learn it today, and it is also the first time you read it. It is clear that you only read the "Senior Skills to Control the World". Long skills, then we haven’t learned it yet.”

The old master smiled, stroked his beard and nodded, he was worthy of being Yin Gong's second son, so he said.

"The old man's words can also be understood as asking what the book says about the great skills of controlling the world. What are the possible ones? Not all the words in the book can be relied upon for real controlling the world."

"Well, what the master said is reasonable. Students think that there are no more than two kinds of skills to truly control the world!"

"Oh? Which two kinds?"

Yin Zhong said seriously.

"My elder brother told me that the skill of controlling the world, one is 'soldiers', the other is 'governance', which can be subdivided into 'soldiers' and 'defense', 'law' and 'organization'... "

The young teachers and old students above frowned from time to time and were a little stunned. Yin Zhong's simple words were not general, and seemed to be more profound and thorough than the contents of "Cultivating a Gentleman".

"Master, am I right?"

After Yin Zhong spoke, he asked the young teacher above, who nodded slowly.

"It's true, but it's too early for you, and it's too utilitarian. The words in "Xiu Junzi" are more appropriate..."

"Master, I have one more thing to ask for advice."

The old man looked at Yin Zhong, and didn't blame him for interrupting himself.

"explain."

"The three emperors have their own order, and the emperor of the world is naturally the last one. Which one is the first, the body or the heart?"

With Yin Zhaoxian's son as a student, the pressure from the classmates will be greater, and why not be a teacher? The old student frowned and pondered for a while before answering solemnly.

"As the saying goes, it's hard to control the mind and mind. In comparison, it is natural to control the body first and then control the heart."

Yin nodded emphatically.

"Well, that's what my dad said."

Hearing this, the young master was inexplicably relieved.

"But my father also said that the so-called gentleman's art of protecting one's body has existed in name only in my old age. Although it is not necessary to be proficient in the six arts, it is hard to say how many scholars who can only read with books can protect themselves. What does the master think? ?”

This question is a bit difficult to answer, the young master was thinking about it, when suddenly a guard with a knife came hurriedly and arrived at the Hongwen Hall.

The old man looked at the visitor.

"What's the matter?"

The guard bowed and cupped his hands.

"Master Young Master, the Prime Minister Yin's residence sent someone to send a message to Second Young Master Yin to return, saying that there is a visitor from his hometown who hasn't seen him for many years."

The old man nodded and looked at Yin Zhong.

"Since that's the case, Yin Zhong, you should go back first."

"yes!"

Yin Zhong stood up, bowed to his master, and then to the other princes and princesses, and then went out with the guards. The rest of the students cast envious eyes on Yin Zhong.

Once outside, after walking for a while, Yin Zhong couldn't hold back any longer. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt better. Reading was really boring.

I don't know who the relatives from my hometown are, could it be my uncle?

When he was out of the door, he saw the servants and the carriage waiting outside, Yin Zhong immediately trotted over and asked cheerfully.

"Ayuan, who is here at home, my father actually asked you to call me back?"

This domestic servant didn't look young, at least around fifty, he was an old man around Yin Zhaoxian, he had a clear mind in his work, and he was also a master of martial arts.

"Second son, the person who came is Mr. Ji. I only met him once in Wanzhou back then. You will know when you go back."

"Mr. Ji!?"

Yin Zhong was surprised. Mr. Ji had heard his father, brother and mother say it many times. Naturally, he was no stranger to this title, but he had never seen it, although his family said he had seen it when he was a baby. Mr. Ji, but how could he have any memory at that time.

So this mysterious Mr. Ji has made Yin Zhong very curious. Occasionally he asked urgently, and only his family would reveal something about Mr. Ji's strangeness. Some things made Yin Zhong doubt what his family said. Be a fairy, not a neighbor anymore.

"That's right, it's Mr. Ji, who is almost the same as what the old slave saw back then."

Yin Zhong stepped on his feet, and quickly jumped into the carriage as light as a swallow.

"Go, go, go home, go home, I want to see what this Mr. Ji looks like, and whether he is really that powerful!"

The carriage started under Yin Zhong's urging, and because the house was not far from the imperial palace, it arrived in front of Yin's mansion in a short time. Yin Zhong jumped off the carriage and rushed to the mansion at a fast pace.

In the main living room, Mother Yin has already returned home. After meeting Ji Yuan and asking how she is, Mother Yin, who has not cooked for a long time, insists on going to the kitchen to show her skills. Make the taste of Ning'an County.

And Ji Yuan and Yin's father and son were chatting about the changes in their hometown, and some things about them in the officialdom over the years.

At this moment, the sound of Yin Zhong's footsteps came from outside, he hurried to the door of the living room, forcibly restrained his movements, and knocked on the door impatiently after tidying up his clothes.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Daddy, I'm back!"

"Hu'er is back, come in!"

Hearing his father's voice, Yin Zhong immediately pushed the door open and went in. A hot current brought by the charcoal fire rushed towards him, and he quickly closed the door to prevent the heater from running away.

After looking around, I wanted to lock on to Ji Yuan immediately, but there was a red fox that was too eye-catching. Seeing a fiery red fox squatting on his brother's lap, Yin Zhong's attention was immediately attracted past.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you meet Mr. Ji!"

After Yin Zhaoxian said something, Yin Zhong quickly saluted Ji Yuan.

"Yin Chong pays homage to Mr. Ji!"

"Excuse me, your father and I are best friends. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, so you don't need to be too rigid about red tape."

Ji Yuan looked at the child up and down, he looked twelve or thirteen years old, his body was strong, his eyes were piercing, his breath was long, and his body was extremely angry, but he was a little different from his father and elder brother.

Although Yin Zhong was attracted by the fox at first, he can't help but look at Ji Yuan carefully now.

At first glance, he thought he was quite young, but after a closer look, he felt that he was not much younger than his father, and he had a strange sense of cleanliness when he looked at it. Then he focused on the other person's eyes. Seeing pale inside.

‘This is Mr. Ji? It seems that there is nothing...'

"You are Yin Qing's younger brother?"

A crisp voice suddenly sounded, Yin Zhong was stunned for a moment, looked at Ji Yuan, Yin Zhaoxian and Yin Qing, and finally fell on the fox, his eyes widened involuntarily.

"Ho ho... Father, father, brother, Mr. Ji, this fox, it has spoken!"

Yin Zhong pointed at the fox and yelled in panic.

"There's nothing to make a fuss about, you are Master Yin's son and Yin Qing's younger brother."

The red fox jumped off Yin Qing's lap, and walked up to Yin Zhong step by step, while the latter subconsciously backed away step by step, and pushed his back directly against the door.

"Well, my name is Hu Yun. I'm Yin Qing's good friend. I came with Mr. Ji."

Yin Zhaoxian, Yin Qing, and Ji Yuan all had smiles on their faces, looking like they were watching the show, deliberately watching Yin Chong make a fool of himself.

Yin Zhong was still a child after all, so he jumped out of the door and fled to Yin Zhaoxian, looking at the red fox over there in astonishment.

"Father... this can't be..."

"That's right, it's a monster. I'm Niu Kuishan's spiritual fox. Your brother has been friends with me since he was a child."

Hu Yun narrowed his eyes, and an extremely humane smile appeared on the fox's face.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Hehehehe..."

"Sure enough, hehehe..."

The other three finally couldn't hold back anymore, and the living room was full of laughter. Even Yin Zhong laughed awkwardly when he came back to his senses, and at the same time, he looked at Hu Yun and Ji Yuan more curiously.

I thought to myself that there are really monsters in this world, so wouldn't Mr. Ji really be a fairy?
