Emperor, are you trying to bring hatred to me? Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh or cry, but the emperor had an expression on his face that he wanted to hear what you had to say, and he couldn't tolerate his shirk.
Therefore, although the scrutinizing gaze of Chief Hong Shan on the other side was serious, and Chief Yue Shan smiled meaningfully, he still said calmly: "Your Majesty compares me to Chief Yue Shan and Chief Hong Shan, who are all over the world. I am a newbie."
The teacher is really frightened. However, just as students are not judged by comparison, teachers are also not judged by comparison."
"For example, the elder Hongshan taught a scholar who was a member of the Xingbang Huiyuan Academy, won the first place in the palace examination, and had an outstanding literary reputation; while the elder Yueshan taught a scholar who did not pass the imperial examination, but only stumbled into an official career, but he was able to make a difference among the people.
A capable official who lives and works in peace and contentment, and is praised by others to the point where countless people send him gifts when he leaves office. Can these two students be compared? Can they be compared with the two teachers?"
"For another example, Chief Hongshan taught a man who dared to bombard the ministers and ministers of the imperial court. Humanity was the clearest admonishment officer who was not afraid of power; while Chief Yueshan taught a man who could control water, build bridges, and provide a road.
An expert in flood control who has prescribed good remedies for rivers that have devoured countless fertile fields for decades or hundreds of years. Can these two students be compared? How can they be compared with the two teachers?"
Seeing that Chief Hong Shan and Chief Yue Shan had different expressions, and the emperor looked at him with some surprise, Zhang Shou smiled indifferently.
"Your Majesty, don't look at me. I don't have the ability to check people's resumes. Chiefs Yue Shan and Hong Shan have capable and good students, and I also have capable and good students. If it weren't for Lu Sanlang and Ji Jiulang, I, an ignorant person from a rural background,
Dr. Guozi, you didn’t know that there are so many talents under the sects of Chief Hong Shan and Chief Yue Shan!”
After laughing, he said word by word: "However, although I have only been the teacher of the students for one year, I can say frankly that a teacher is also a person who teaches, teaches, and solves doubts. I have always tried my best.
Do it. Some people have good qualifications and some have bad qualifications. I cannot completely treat them equally, but I am willing to do my best to help them find a way out for the future."
"Some people can get ten points of results with just one point of effort, and some people can only get one point of results with ten points of effort. But if you always ignore this situation, then it is really disrespectful to those who work hard.
Fair enough. Therefore, I only have a very simple goal, so that those in the world who are willing to work hard can at least see their own future."
"Let those in the world who are willing to work hard not be disappointed or even despair."
Chief Yue Shan didn't know how he felt when he saw Zhang Shou for the first time, but he had to sigh that the young boy in front of him was just like the rumors, and he didn't look like a rural place at all.
Come out.
The emperor's question was a tricky one, but Zhang Shou not only successfully resolved the problem completely, but he even flaunted himself in a way that made it so high-sounding that no one could fault him at all.
He came and recommended two students by the way. Compared to the students he and Director Hong Shan had just recommended, Zhang Shou's words were clearly more clever.
However, Chief Hong Shan's eyes, which were originally slightly narrowed, gradually widened at this moment. He stared at Zhang Shou with wide eyes. Seeing that the man was fresh and cheerful, looking at him without fear, he couldn't help it.
Zhu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Wise words and beautiful words!"
At this moment, even though Chief Yue Shan was wary of Zhang Shou, and also wary of Chief Hong Shan because of what Chief Hong Shan said on the way, he couldn't help but feel that Chief Hong's rebuke was extremely ridiculous.
Are you so blatantly judging Zhang Shou for his clever words and demeanor? Is this man named Hong out of his mind or out of his mind, or does he think so highly of himself that he has completely forgotten the occasion here and now?
Even if Zhang Shou reveals in his words that there are many talented and clean students among the students of Yuzhang Academy, that is not scolding you. Do you need to jump out and scold others as if someone has stepped on their tail?
Zhang Shou has always been a character who respects others as much as he respects others. Now, this leader Hong Shan, whom he met for the first time, suddenly and inexplicably scolded himself for his clever words. If he pretended not to have heard and calmed down, then that's not him.
. He immediately smiled and said without hesitation: "No matter how clever I am, I can't match the impassionedness of Hong Shanchang in his memorial. In the end, I turned around and recommended my own virtuous and virtuous daughter!"
Chief Hong Shan suddenly became furious and stood up abruptly regardless of the fact that he was in front of the emperor.
"It's because the princes in the court are only obedient and unable to correct the trend and persuade the Holy Emperor that they have become accustomed to you, a boy who seems to be a sincere gentleman but is actually a villain! You are only a few years old, and the Emperor appointed you as Doctor of the Imperial Academy.
, you should resign modestly, how could you be so shameless as to occupy your position and even force your colleagues to leave!"
"On the one hand, you flatter the rich and powerful, but on the other hand, you win over people's hearts and make the poor people be grateful to you. On the one hand, you build a large school, but on the other hand, you desperately instruct students to go out and make money in the local area! The civil unrest in Cangzhou should be dealt with with drastic measures.
You sinned against the people, but you blindly entrusted yourself to the eldest prince, showed kindness to the people, and sought fame and reputation, but you did not care about the reputation of the Holy Emperor and the royal family!"
Breathlessly speaking, he didn't look at other people's expressions at all, and said categorically: "I am writing to the emperor, please choose marriage for the princes, and I don't have the slightest selfishness! And I recommend my daughter to be the eldest prince's concubine.
There is absolutely no selfishness at all. My little girl has learned Chinese compositions at the age of three, and has memorized books on female virtues such as the Analects of Confucius by heart, and she is even more proficient in needlework."
"In the past, there were floods and droughts in Jiangxi one year after another. Many people were displaced, and there were countless people who sold their sons and daughters. It was the young girls who came forward to gather the women to raise silkworms, weave silk, spin yarn, weave socks, and other handicrafts. They barely managed to survive
She has maintained food and clothing for hundreds of people. And her character and virtue have always been well-known. And the most important thing is that the younger daughter is older than the eldest prince, has an average appearance, and does not worry about the disaster of being charming."
At this moment, Zhang Shou suddenly felt like rolling his eyes.
Although it was indeed unjust to be scolded for no reason, he was just preparing how to scold him back. But now he heard Chief Hong Shan suddenly and confidently start to praise his daughter, and also cited actual evidence of virtuous and virtuous people, and finally even explained
He was speechless as to why his daughter was suitable to be the eldest princess.
She is older than the eldest prince, not good-looking, has read through the books on women's virtues that are like the dogma of good wives and mothers, and is also good at handicrafts such as nuns... Why does he feel that she is modeled after the most famous ugly women in the world?
Is it carved from a template?
So, Zhang Shou simply said angrily: "May I ask Mr. Hong Shan, will you give examples of the four beauties next? No matter Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Yang Guifei, Wang Zhaojun, the four beauties all ended well, but
The four ugly women recorded in the history books are all good wives and mothers, and they are harmonious with their husbands, so although your concubines are mediocre in appearance, they can definitely persuade the eldest prince to be kind? "
This is what Chief Yue Shan wanted to say just now. At this moment, the corner of his mouth twitched twice, and he suppressed the urge to retort after Zhang Shou. He secretly wondered whether Chief Hong Shan was really pedantic?
The next moment, his question was answered. Because Chief Hong Shan faced the emperor calmly and said word for word: "A woman's appearance can only last for ten or twenty years. After the passage of time, how can she compare with her?"
Virtue, its words, its achievements? My mother can assist the Yellow Emperor, Meng Guang can raise his eyebrows, Zhongli can persuade the king of Qi, and Ruan can admonish her husband."
"With these four women, I can at least settle down my family. Your husband is not like some beauties who can only cause unrest in your family and the world. I made it clear when I submitted a letter before that the eldest prince is now imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple for crimes."
The eldest son of a common concubine can naturally be left to fend for himself, but I know firsthand that as a father, the emperor imprisons his eldest son in a shabby room, so why shouldn't he feel sad?"
"It is true that if you really only care about the eldest prince's heirs, the emperor can choose women from among the people to be the eldest prince's wives and concubines. If it is difficult to choose girls from noble families, he can also choose orphan girls from the people to be taught and sent to the eldest prince. But the emperor
After ruling the world for many years, it is clear to everyone what kind of person you are, whether you are a minister or the people of the world. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and does not want to be like this!"
Although he had been so angry at the words of Chief Hong Shan just now - although he was scolding Zhang Shou, the emperor felt that some of the words were also scolding himself. But when he heard Chief Hong Shan denying it in such a tone, he would
When he casually sacrificed innocent women for the sake of the eldest prince, the emperor's face softened unconsciously.
He glanced at Zhang Shou and saw that he was holding one hand on the armrest and the other hand was hanging below his head. He took a closer look and saw that he was holding the fourth prince's hand. He only saw his youngest son at this moment.
He was full of righteousness, as if he would rush out to find Chief Hong Shan at any time to reason.
Although he could barely hold back his temper just now and wanted to kick people out, but now that his mood had calmed down, the emperor still nodded slightly to Zhang Shou, and then said: "Zhang Shou has been a teacher for only a short time.
, but the results are obvious to all and cannot be erased by you with just a few words."
Seeing that Chief Hong Shan suddenly showed an extremely shocked and unacceptable expression, the emperor said to himself: "As for you saying that he pleases powerful men and so on... you are probably mistaken. He is so at home in Banshan Hall, isn't it?
He pleases others, but it is others who please him. For example, my Saburo and Shiro, if they did not like him as a teacher, they would not take the Jiuzhangtang exam."
Finally finding a chance to speak, the fourth prince immediately said loudly: "Yes, a teacher who gives good lectures is better for the students. Everyone in the Imperial College knows this! A guy like Yang Yiming with low character, even the students
If we want to cut ties with him, how can we say that the teacher forced his colleagues to leave!"
The more he talked, the more excited he became. Suddenly he felt a hand pressing on his shoulder. When he turned his head and saw it was Zhang Shou, he felt as if his bulging ball had been punctured, and he was immediately deflated.
But when he retreated to Zhang Shou, he still muttered: "Don't my third brother and I still know who the eldest emperor brother is? He valued color over virtue. Back then, the queen...well, Jingfei chose him for him.
When he was a palace servant, he would not be happy to choose two ordinary-looking ones for him. They must be stunning! He always showed off in front of his second brother, saying that he would marry a beauty more beautiful than sister Yingying as his princess in the future!"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but glance at the emperor, and saw that the emperor's face was extremely delicate at this time. It was obvious that the younger son Tong Yanwuji had exposed the eldest son's dirty information. The father was also helpless, so he stood up as well.
He bowed to the emperor calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing my name."
"Just now, Chief Hong Shan said that I am just trying to gain fame, regardless of the reputation of the royal family. I don't want to defend myself. After all, Chief Hong Shan has already chosen the most suitable princess for the eldest prince, and also identified the interests for the emperor. What else can I say to an outsider? I
I just want to ask, Meng Guang did not get married until he was thirty years old, and Wu Yanjun was forty when he was the queen. May I ask how much older your concubine is than the eldest prince?"
Hearing this, Chief Yue Shan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and actually asked with bad intentions: "For example, the husband of the Ruan family once ran away because of his wife's ugly appearance. Chief Hong Shan is certainly full of good intentions for the emperor."
For your own sake, you also have to think about the eldest prince."
When Zhang Shou saw Chief Yue Shan, he finally couldn't help but assist him. Naturally, he secretly sighed that people were smart, and then he said with a smile: "The most important thing is, has Chief Hong Shan ever asked what your concubine means?"
Chief Hong Shan ignored Zhang Shou and Chief Yue Shan's joint attack and said stiffly: "She has always been a filial daughter, and she has always been a filial daughter, and she understood the word loyalty and righteousness, so when I submitted the letter, she had already agreed without hesitation.
I will definitely persuade the eldest prince to abandon evil and promote good."
After listening to the previous words, everyone in the huge main hall, including the fourth prince, all felt that the previous letter was all under the control of Chief Hong Shan. The ordinary-looking Hong family was probably resigned to his fate.
.
But when they heard the second part, everyone was a little unbelievable. How could this be that she was really a virtuous and virtuous woman who regarded the example in "The Biography of Women" as a golden rule? For a moment, no one noticed that Hong Shan had always avoided talking about his daughter.
age.
Chief Yue Shan felt his eyelids twitching, especially when he thought of living in that temporary residence with Chief Hong Shan, a guy with such an eccentric temper and rigid behavior, he felt that his eyes were filled with darkness.
It took him a long time to regain his composure and forced out a big smile: "I dare to ask Mr. Hong Shan, is it possible that my wife followed you to the capital?"
"That's natural." Chief Hong Shan smiled proudly and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "After I lost my wife, I never remarried, and my daughter took care of all the household chores. Even organizing the manuscripts was left to her.
Come and complete it. Although there are many people from all over the country who come to ask for marriage, she can't leave her father alone and doesn't want to get married. I can't persuade her, so I can only follow her."
"She herself often said that most men in the world value sex over virtue, so they spend their lives helping those orphaned women and children. I think this statement makes sense, so I followed her. If I hadn't said that I should give the eldest prince a
Even if I have the chance to change my ways, I won’t mention this to her, and she won’t agree to it outright.”
Having said this, Chief Hong Shan said loudly: "The emperor blames the minister for wrongly blaming Dr. Zhang. The minister is thousands of miles away. It may be hearsay. However, Dr. Zhang has ulterior motives for blaming the minister. This is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart."
Abdo! I know that I have little talent and little knowledge, and since Yuzhang Academy cannot do without me as the headmaster, I sincerely ask the emperor to allow me to stay in Beijing for a few days and then rush back."
Seeing the person in front of him bow to the ground after finishing speaking, Zhang Shou couldn't help exchanging glances with Chief Yue Shan for the first time. Is this guy really pedantic or a fake Taoist? Also, is he retreating to advance, or... retreating?
