Ji Hao: Qin Shi Huang's enlightenment teacher

Qin Shi Huang was unfortunate, and in the Zhao Kingdom, he could not receive a good education like the princes and grandchildren in the Qin Palace; at the same time, he was lucky, and his enlightenment teacher was an odd person, so that he received an unconventional but extremely advanced imperial education, laying a solid foundation for the future creation of a career that had never been done before.

There was a very learned old man in Handan named Ji Hao.

It is said that his ancestors were originally close relatives of Zhou Mu. Ji Hao has been arrogant and unruly since he was a child. He used to worship many famous people as teachers, but he left within a few days, saying that he wanted to create his own school. Since then, Ji Hao has not come out behind closed doors, writing books at home and saying that as for what he has written and advocated, no one knows, because no one has seen his works. Later, Ji Hao finally couldn't bear the loneliness, so he learned the appearance of Kong Qiu and traveled around the world. Claiming to have the great talent to govern the country and the world, he can help the princes to establish a career and dominate, hoping that the discerning monarch will look up to him and appoint him. Decades passed, Ji Hao ran from a young man to an old man, and he did not achieve his goal. Finally, he came to Handan and opened a museum to teach apprentices, saying that what he could not do, he wanted his disciples to complete. Ji Hao's reputation is out, but few people dare to entrust their children to him, because his experience and his strange temper have scared people away!

By chance, Zhao Ling met Ji Hao. He admired Ji Hao so much that he wanted to send Zhao Zheng to Ji Hao for teaching. "Old man, I brought you a disciple..."

"Okay, I'm in a panic."

"My child is extraordinary!"

"I don't teach ordinary children."

"Then, how many bundles does the old man need?"

"Every month, you send a pound of gold!"

Zhao Ling listened and shivered in fright. "Old man, this is enough for our family for a few years..."

"Are you too much?" Ji Hao said, "If you teach a common man, one or two golds a month is not a lot, but I will teach you a dragon, a tiger, and a king!" ”

"I haven't told you who he is... How? ”

"What do you say my eyes do?"

"Well, a pound of gold is a pound of gold!"

Ji Hao smiled, "Actually, money is not of great use to me, I just think it should be worth the money." Besides, you don't need your money anyway! ”

Ji Hao said zhao ling also laughed. Lao Ji Hao taught Zhao Zheng four kinds of lessons, one was to recognize characters; the second was to teach him the scriptures and histories that were usually taught in the academy, such as "Poetry", "Books", "Rituals", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn"; the third was to teach him to understand the general trend of the world and the Qin Kingdom; and the fourth was to teach him some martial arts. He wanted Zhao Zheng to become a man of both culture and martial arts.

These four lessons all have the characteristics of Ji Hao.

For example, when teaching literacy, he teaches two sets: traditional and simple. Writing a traditional character is the big seal character used at that time, and then writing a simplified character accordingly, which is a small seal character collected by Ji Hao from various countries. Although the imperial courts of various countries had not yet recognized it at that time, it had already spread in society.

When teaching children the scriptures, Ji Hao was also very different from other schools. Those famous teachers and masters always read the scriptures with respect and respect, and they are even more well-founded in speaking, quoting the arguments and explanations of the sages and sages. Ji Hao was not like this, he always said how he understood it, and sometimes quoted the words of the sages, but then he made a criticism,, bullshit! They always say wishful thinking, how can it be like that! Zhao Zheng, you say, am I right, or am the sages right? ”

...... Martial arts, Ji Hao will not get much, more or less, but also for self-defense, and he is not embarrassed to take it out to teach people.

Fortunately, there is a ready-made teacher in front of him in this regard, and he is Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling was willing to be Zhao Zheng's martial arts teacher. He said: Now I can teach him, and when my skills are finished, I will invite him to come again... A year later, Mr. Ji Hao will start teaching Zhao Zheng the third course, he wants to teach Zhao Zheng to know the world and the Qin Kingdom.

"I am a native of the Qin State, and I know the State of Qin. It's just a little unfamiliar, and when I go back, I can ask my dad. ”

It seems that Xiao Zhao Zheng does not want to learn, "I see this lesson about the Qin Kingdom, Sir, you don't have to teach it, you just talk to me about other countries!"

"Pick up your ass!" The teacher was angry.

"Why did you hit me?" Xiao Zhao Zheng asked.

"Say it again!" Teacher Ji Hao was very severe, so Zhao Zheng was often beaten. Teachers beat students, and there is a set of theories. He said that people are bitter worms and cannot be beaten without fighting. Ancient and modern sages are all played! The same is true for the people, who must be severely tortured and persuaded. Ji Hao said: The people are the flock, the kings and officials are the shepherds, and the shepherds must have whips in their hands..." I ask you: Who is your father? ”

"Zi Chu."

"What about grandfather?"

"Win Pillar."

"What about my great-grandfather?"

"Eun Seol."

"Great-great-grandfather, you know?"

Zhao Zheng thought about it and shook his head. "He's long dead, do I want to know what he's doing?"

"Otherwise, my boy!" The teacher said, "You must know how your ancestors established a country and a state?" Do you still want to know how the Qin state gradually changed from a small poor country in the west to a big country and a powerful country that dominates the world?

You should also know what great things and successful things your ancestors have done, what wrong things and bad things they have done, and what regrets they have left behind... Shouldn't you know that? ”

"I want to know..."

"Good boy, you're right. The few questions I asked, you should know. Knowing that, after you became an emperor, you understood what you should do and how to do it! ”

"Yes..."

"Do you know the importance of studying the history of the Qin state?" "It's good to know what's wrong." Ji Hao said, "I'm tired, it's time to take a break." ”

Zhao Zheng was very sensible, and quickly turned to Ji Hao's back and punched the teacher's back with two small fists.

Their course started like this:

Picking a good day, Ji Hao hung a large map on the wall of his family yard that he personally drew. Is this the earliest map Ever made of China? It is no longer possible to verify. The teacher stood in front of the map, and Xiao Zhao Zheng sat on the cushion below, looking up, looking. Ji Hao first set a position for Zhao Zheng, letting him know how to look at the east, west, south, and north on the map. Then he pointed to a large red block to the west with his ruler and said, "This is your Qin kingdom." It is the State of Wei to the east and the State of Zhao to the northeast, see? Ji Hao pointed to a small circle of Zhao Guo and said, "This is handan city where we are..."

Xiao Zhao Zheng watched intently.

Ji Hao was very happy to see him concentrate like this, so he continued, "... You see, this is South Korea. Which side of the Qin State is it? ”

Zhao Zheng actually said, "In the southeast." ”

"Very well, you are so clever. These are the three close neighbors of the Qin Kingdom. There are three more countries further afield, you see. To the northeast, on the side of the Zhao kingdom was the Yan kingdom. Its little prince Dan is in the Zhao Kingdom, he lives not far from us, I think you will meet him. On the side of the State of Wei is the State of Qi, which is far away from us, and from the State of Qi further east, you can see the sea..."

"Teacher, I'm going to see the sea. I've heard that the sea is boundless water..."

"You'll see! How do you want to see it? Is it to let Qi Guo invite you to go? Or do you want Wei Guo to make way for you? ”

"In that case, I won't go, I'll lead the troops to kill me!"

The teacher smiled, did not respond to his words, and continued, "... You see, if you go further south along the border of Korea, you will reach the State of Chu, which is a very powerful country..."

In order to make Xiao Zhao Zheng deeply impressed by these countries, Ji Hao told him many historical stories about the occurrence of these countries, and incidentally also introduced the national conditions of these countries, such as their property resources, the strength and weakness of the country, the relationship between the monarch and the subject, and the folk customs, and also told him about many people who influenced the development of the country... Of course, these contents cannot be finished in one day, and this lesson has been taught for many days. Xiao Zhao Zheng was fascinated by what he heard, and often grabbed a thing and asked the root of the matter, fortunately, there was a lot of knowledge in the teacher's belly, and he could not plan to the end.

After finishing talking about the situation in the six kingdoms east of Qin, Ji Hao pointed to the map and asked, "Zhao Zheng, if you want to become the king of the Qin state, do you want to unify the world, or do you want it to maintain the status quo?" ”

"Of course we have to unify it." Xiao Zhao Zheng said, "Because the world is originally unified!" It was Zhou Tianzi who broke things..."

Ji Hao understood that his student was an extraordinary child, if he became the king of the Qin Kingdom, the world would be turned upside down, and it would bring happiness to the people of the world? Or a disaster? Even he, an unreasonable person, was inexplicable!
