Xiao Tian finally understood what it meant to not go against the opinions of the masses.
There were four people in the courtyard, except for himself. Needless to say, Empress Zhangsun had specially come to call him to class. Fang Yiai did not say anything. The reason why she came was to accompany him to class.
There was also Xiao He, who was a 'spy' sent by Empress Zhangsun!
Xiao Tian thought about it and thought that Little Gao Yang was also attending classes in the Hall of Cultural Splendor. It seemed like it was not a bad idea for him to flirt with her.
Arriving at the Hall of Cultural Splendor, Xiao Tian saw Princess Gao Yang sitting with Li Ke at first glance.
Immediately, Xiao Tian walked towards Li Ke with a smile. That's right, he walked towards Li Ke.
When Li Ke saw this, he stood up with a smile on his face and wanted to greet Xiao Tian.
However, the next moment, Li Ke's smile froze on his face because Xiao Tian ignored him and walked past him. Then, he sat in the seat that belonged to him just now.
"You, hurry up and get up. If everyone sees you, they'll laugh at you.”Seeing Xiao Tian sit down beside him, Gao Yang blushed and whispered to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian asked doubtfully," Gao Yang, I came over because today is the first day I came to listen to Teacher Kong's lesson. I have missed a lot of lessons in the past and I want to ask you for advice. Is there anything wrong with that?" Why did they laugh at him? Could it be that he would be laughed at if his homework was bad?”
"You…you know what I mean! Good Xiao Tian, I'm begging you, alright? Sister Jing 'er and the others were all laughing at him!”After returning yesterday, Gao Yang was teased by the group of sisters and even lectured by his mother.
Xiao Tian followed Gao Yang's gaze and looked over. He saw a dozen princesses from five to fifteen to sixteen years old looking at his side.
Among them, the Jing 'er sister that Gao Yang mentioned was Qinghe Princess Li Jing. In addition, there were also Princess Lan Ling, Princess An Kang, Princess Xin Xing, and Princess Cheng Yang. These were all slightly older and had yet to marry. However, although these few were not married, they were already betrothed to others.
Other than one or two princesses, most of them were pretty.
When the princesses saw Xiao Tian looking over, they quickly avoided his gaze and pretended to read or chat as if nothing had happened.
In ancient times, classes were not divided into grades. Everyone went to class together.
Each class and the previous one usually had no direct connection. However, even so, Xiao Tian could not understand what the Keeper was saying. They were all unfamiliar and difficult to understand articles and scriptures. Thus, Xiao Tian once again experienced the feeling of listening to the Heavenly Book in English class.
Gao Yang, on the other hand, was listening attentively. When the Keeper asked a question, he even stood up and answered it.
Xiao Tian looked at Fang Yi 'ai, who was sitting not far away. He saw that Fang Yi' ai was sitting upright, nodding and shaking his head from time to time, which surprised him. Until he saw saliva dripping from the corner of Fang Yi 'ai's mouth. Instantly, his surprise turned into admiration! F * ck, shaking his head while sleeping, this skill is awesome!
"Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian, Sir is calling you!”Gao Yang nudged Xiao Tian.
F * ck, this scene was so familiar. When he was reading novels in class, he was reminded by his deskmate many times.
Xiao Tian was already experienced in this. He put on a thoughtful expression while signaling Gao Yang with his eyes, asking Gao Yang to give him some hints.
Seeing that Gao Yang was indifferent, Xiao Tian was helpless and could only open his mouth,"Sir, I'm sorry. I was thinking about what you explained earlier and was a little lost in thought. Could you please repeat the question?”
Although he knew that Xiao Tian was talking nonsense, he was still satisfied with Xiao Tian's attitude. Hence, he repeated his previous question,""Xiao Tian, explain this sentence: The people can be made to obey, but they can't be made to know!"
When Xiao Tian heard this, he felt relieved. At least he didn't have to embarrass himself this time. This was one of the most controversial sentences in the Analects of Confucius, even in modern times.
The reason for the controversy was that there were no punctuations in ancient times. In an article, all the words were connected together. Therefore, some sentences would have different meanings because of the different breaks.
And this sentence, in the early Tang Dynasty, should have been broken down as: The people can be made to obey, but they cannot be made to understand. It meant that he could order the people around, but he could not let them know too much.
Usually, when a private school taught the Analects of Confucius, they would skip this sentence. This was because the idiocy in this sentence was somewhat incompatible with Confucius 'Confucianism!
But now, it was the teacher who was teaching the prince, as well as the children of the civil officials and nobles. Therefore, this sentence could be said in a grand manner, because those sitting here were not considered 'commoners'.
Xiao Tian thought for a moment and said,"The meaning of this sentence is: If the common people had mastered poetry, books, etiquette, music, and other things, they should be allowed to freely express themselves without any restrictions. If the commoners still can't play with these things, then we have to educate them and let them know and understand these things.”
Ever since Xiao Tian arrived, Du He had been staring at Xiao Tian with hatred in her eyes. Now, she finally seized the opportunity: " Hmph, nonsense. The day before yesterday, Sir just said…"
"Du He, shut up!" After the teacher berated him, he fell into deep thought. His face was filled with surprise and excitement.
Although it was just a question of understanding, this sentence came from the Analects of Confucius!
What was this equivalent to? It was equivalent to a teacher asking a student what Pi =, and the student answering the teacher that Pi =3.16 instead of 3.1415926, and even giving a suitable reason. This was already a subversion of the academic world!
