One hundred and seventy-six chapters Han Xianggong
The emperor's chariot arrived at the Imperial Academy.
There was a ceremony, and all the idlers were cleared away, which disappointed the imperial students who thought they could get a glimpse of the emperor's appearance.
In addition to Taixue, the Imperial Academy also had Legal Studies, Four Schools, Martial Arts, and Zongxue.
The official family is now in the Shijing Pavilion, while one student from Taixue, Xuezheng, Zhangyue, Lvxue, Four Schools, Martial Arts, and Zongxue is waiting in the corridor to be summoned.
This time the emperor's imperial commander came to the Imperial Academy in person to inspect the Jiayou Stone Classic. Yang Nanzhong, Xie Siao, Zhang Cili, Zhao Keji, Zhang Youzhi, Hu Hui, etc. who originally wrote the Stone Classic, except those who were not in Bianjing or died of illness, were all accepted in the cabinet. Official summons.
Shi Jing was healed as early as the first year of Jiayou's reign, but since then the emperor has not had time to inspect the Imperial Academy, and now he suddenly has the inclination to go there for some unknown reason.
Outside the Shijing Pavilion, Zhang Yue and others lined up in two rows, standing on the verandah, holding their breath, but they were surrounded by countless eunuchs from the Forbidden Army.
The rest of the people were a little nervous, but Zhang Yue gradually relaxed. He looked at the row of locust trees outside the courtyard, one of which was an extremely tall ancient locust tree, blocking the scorching summer sun, but he could hear the chirping of cicadas in his ears.
The summer wind blows and the leaves of the locust trees rustle.
Zhang Yue was fascinated by what he saw and said, "Du Zhi, what are you looking at in your leisurely time? You are worried about being disrespectful."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Xue Zheng, it's been so long since the officials came in, and they probably won't see us empty-handed."
Xuezheng thought for a while and said: "That's right. The emperor's carriage is simple and there are no officials accompanying him. As for the two palaces, there is only one Han Xiangguo. I think we have waited in vain. However, etiquette is still indispensable."
Several other people said: "Yes, if we had known that the officials would not see us, we would not have wasted all our efforts from the time of Mao to now."
"It doesn't matter if I see you. I can only ask a few questions and then give you a small reward."
"Is it possible that I can't make inquiries myself?"
There was laughter from the crowd.
Everyone was talking in low voices, but they still stood well, but their backs ached a little after standing for a whole day.
Soon an imperial envoy came out of the Shijing Pavilion and said: "The officials have returned to the palace. You will each be given a thousand dollars and a piece of winter clothing."
Everyone had already guessed this ending and accepted the order without any surprise.
It turns out that waiting all day was in vain.
Although it was expected and a little disappointing, at least there was a reward, and everyone expressed their gratitude.
After a while, another messenger came and said, "Who is Zhang Yue?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Yue in unison.
Zhang Yue came out and said: "That's right."
"Is your teacher Zhang Boyi?"
Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, then said: "Exactly."
The messenger said expressionlessly: "You come with me!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Yue with envy.
"Could it be that the officials summoned him alone? That's a big deal."
Zhang Yue followed the envoy to the side hall, but saw that the place was full of officials. Wu Zhongfu and Li Gou were talking to an official wearing a purple robe and a goldfish bag.
No need to guess, this purple-robed official is the "better-looking" Han Qi.
Han Qi turned his face half sideways, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and even listened calmly to Wu Zhongfu's report.
Beside him stood a row of attendants in red and green robes. They all showed respect to Hou Li in front of Han Qi.
This is the Prime Minister. Zhang Yue glanced at it and quickly lowered his head to avoid being rude.
When Han Qi saw the person coming, he looked at Zhang Yue carefully. Wu Zhong replied: "My good teacher knows that this person is Zhang Boyi's student. I have been waiting for your Majesty to see him for a long time."
"Zhang Duzhi hasn't met my husband yet."
Zhang Yue immediately paid homage and said, "Imperial student Zhang Yue has met your husband."
Han Qi said: "Although Zhang Boyi has the merit of writing stone scriptures, he fails to recite His Majesty's edicts three times. You are his student, do you know why?"
Zhang Yue felt a shiver in his heart after hearing this, it turns out he was here to cause trouble.
Zhang Yue said: "I am reporting back to you, sir. I don't know, but judging from my teacher's words, it seems that my teacher is unwell and cannot work hard. Instead of having a vegetarian meal in the imperial palace, it would be better to return to his hometown to raise him, so as not to waste the imperial salary."
Han Qi said: "Then why did you resign from the imperial court and grant governor Shi? Is it because you are unwell? Or do you think your official position is low?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to report back to my husband. I just don't dare to receive salary for my small merits..."
Han Qi's face darkened, and Zhang Yue could no longer speak.
"That's all, get out of here!" Han Qi waved his hand.
Zhang Yue felt relieved, and when he was about to leave, he heard Han Qi and Wu Zhong reply: "The greater the merit, the greater the salary. This is the rule set by the imperial court. Official rewards are not arbitrarily declined. Teachers are like this.
The same goes for the students? They are all just trying to gain fame."
Zhang Yue was furious when he heard this, saying that he was fine, and his teacher was also involved.
When you, Han Qi, resigned as prime minister, you didn't just resign three times.
Zhang Yuezhi wanted to reprimand him face to face, but he still held back his anger when he thought of Han Qi's status as prime minister.
Don't let it happen, otherwise your future will be ruined.
Li Gou stepped forward and said, "Ms. Sir, I also think that Zhang Boyi is indeed arrogant. It would be unjustifiable in any dynasty or generation for not accepting the call. But Zhang Yue is still a student of the imperial family. If he makes any mistakes, please punish him."
Han Qi said: "That's all."
Han Qi saw Zhang Yue turn around and pass by him, but his eyes were fixed on him.
Han Qi frowned, but saw that Zhang Yue had turned his head away.
Han Qi thought to himself, why should he, the prime minister, have such a quarrel with an imperial student? He had lost his identity.
After Zhang Yue left Shijing Pavilion, he thought he was summoned by the emperor, but unexpectedly he was reprimanded by Han Qi for no apparent reason.
When Zhang Yue was walking in the corridor, his classmates all asked Zhang Yue if he saw an official.
Zhang Yue calmed down and said: "No, it's just that Han Xianggong asked a few questions, but he didn't answer well and was reprimanded."
Everyone said in relief: "Sanlang was too nervous. Although he didn't meet the official family, it was a blessing to meet Mr. Han."
Zhang Yue heard this and thought to himself, How can this be a blessing?
Immediately, Zhang Yue saw the imperial army leaving, but he saw Han Qi, dressed in purple robes, being served by his entourage, helping him onto his horse, and riding his horse to follow the imperial driver.
Yujia finally left Taixue.
"Sanlang, come here!" Li Gou said.
Zhang Yue stepped forward and saluted as he was told.
Li Gou looked at Zhang Yue's face and said, "You are calm, but it's not your temper."
Zhang Yue said: "The students understand that Mr. Han is not here for the students, but for Mr. Boyi."
Li Gou nodded and said, "Not bad."
The emperor just now saw Zhang Boyi's name in the Shijing Pavilion. He remembered that he had refused the imperial edict three times and refused to accept the canonization by the imperial court. He said to Han Qi, "I am not benevolent enough to deserve the help of such a wise man."
Han Qi quickly felt relieved for a while.
Later, Han Qi learned from somewhere that Zhang Yue was also waiting to receive you, so he called him in and reprimanded you.
On the surface, it was due to Zhang Yue's resignation as governor, but in fact, it was to accuse Zhang Youzhi of refusing the imperial edict three times. Han Qi's move appeased the officials. Li Gou also believed that Zhang Youzhi was just trying to gain fame, but he still wronged Zhang Yue.
After all, it was Zhang Yue who resigned as Governor of the State Council in the first place, but unexpectedly it was self-defeating.
Li Gou, who had the inside story, could not tell Zhang Yue. Seeing that the other party was not even a little embarrassed, he said: "Just go with me!"
Li Gou and Zhang Yue walked out of Taixue one after another.
The two of them stayed silent all the way, and went upstairs to a restaurant next to the Bian River.
"Sanlang, have a few drinks with me."
"yes."
Zhang Yue personally gave Li Gou a cup. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Yue also started eating.
Li Gou said: "Sanlang, I have been reading your policy papers in the past few days. Although the insights are unique, the words are too sharp, and there is a faint intention to denounce the evils of the times. But when you get to the examination room, you write calmly and sing praises to your virtues."
"Therefore, although your articles are good, they are not top-notch, and your poems and poems have always been mediocre in the Imperial Academy. Therefore, if you want to be admitted to the imperial examination, you will probably have to hone your skills for at least ten years before you have any hope."
Zhang Yue was startled when he heard this. It would take ten more years for him to be so talented.
"Why can't you wait ten years?" Li Gou said, "Ten years, you are not yet thirty years old."
Zhang Yue thought to himself that he still underestimated the difficulty of taking the Jinshi exam.
"Students understand."
"Sanlang, it seems that you have other ambitions in your heart? Can you tell me?"
Zhang Yue stopped after hearing this, then looked out the window at the ships passing by on the Bian River and said: "Speak directly, why is Tokyo so prosperous?"
Li Gou looked at the bustling night scene on the Bian River and said, "This is because Taizu made a policy of strong trunks and weak branches, keeping the inside weak and the outside weak. That's why it is like this."
Zhang Yue said: "This is one of them. In the past few decades, local floods, droughts, and locust disasters have been constant. Natural disasters have been followed by human disasters. There are more than one or two major military disasters and civilian riots every year. As for the small ones, they are countless, so that local
Not Jing.”
"Every time there is a turmoil, the local wealthy households will be forced to move their families to Bianjing. The more prosperous Bianjing becomes, the more the place becomes depleted."
"This dynasty uses the method of strong trunks and weak branches to eliminate the chaos of warlord separatism in the Five Dynasties. But to say it is treacherous and unethical, you started with this and you will end with this."
Li Gou didn't speak when he heard this.
Zhang Yue looked at the other person's face and said, "The student has spoken arrogantly. Please tell me and forgive me."
Li Gou drank a glass of wine and then said: "It's so nice. I haven't heard such words from other people for a long time. It would be a pity for you not to become an official, Sanlang."
Zhang Yue said: "This student also has great ambitions."
Li Gou said: "Zhang San, although I still don't like Zhang Boyi, I still admire him for at least teaching a student like you."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me."
Li Gou drank another glass of wine and said with a sudden surge of pride: "I am an unruly person. If I had not been called by Fan Xianggong, I would have stayed in a house and plowed the fields, and spent my life decaying with the grass and trees."
Li Gou thought of Fan Zhongyan's interaction with him, and his cloudy eyes showed sadness.
How can we find someone like Fan Xianggong in this world?
He looked at Zhang Yue again and nodded. This guy looked a little like Fan Xianggong.
Later, because Li Gou was at odds with Wuzhong, he returned to his hometown to move the burial to the imperial court, which was approved by the imperial court.
Although Li Gou returned to his hometown, he did not hesitate to praise Zhang Yue's talents with his friend Wang Anshi and his disciple Zeng Gong, saying that his articles were upright and serious, and he had the ambition to help the world.
After Li Gou finished writing the letter, he left his errand at Imperial College and returned to his hometown in Jiangxi.
After returning home, Li Gou fell ill and died at home.
So far, Hu Yuan, Sun Fu, Shi Jie, and Li Gou, who supported Fan Zhongyan's reform, all died of illness.
However, they taught Taixue and became the spark for the next reform.
