Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters follow good inducements
The emperor personally came to supervise the ceremony?
Not to mention that Chu Kuan was taken aback, when Lu Chan brought the emperor into the Ceremony Supervisor in the Northern Imperial City with a grimace, this small yamen was in complete chaos. It’s not like no one wanted to go to Chu Kuan.
Kuan reported the news, but Hua Qi, who came with him, squatted directly on the wall of Chu Kuanna's yard, so all the informants stopped.
Moreover, in the eyes of the eunuchs and eunuchs who came out of the inner study hall and were educated in the patriotic style of loyalty to the emperor, Eunuch Chu was the most loyal and loyal model.
There was no chance of any accidents after breaking through the gate, so in the end the emperor was allowed to follow Lu Chan directly to the public hall where the Superintendent of Ceremonies was doing his business.
At this moment, the emperor saw Chu Kuan who hurriedly opened the door and did not salute. He just nodded slightly and went straight in. Passing by Chu Kuan, he patted his shoulder: "Don't be too polite. I have something to say to you."
Say, everyone else should stay away from me. If anyone dares to eavesdrop a word, he will be killed without mercy!"
Although the emperor is a maverick and still has the habit of doing everything based on his preferences when he was young, the expression "kill without mercy" will never appear in his common words. Therefore, from Lu Chan onwards, people
The people hurriedly retreated. Lu Chan, who was the last to exit the courtyard, couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Hua Qi squatting on the wall, and couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
That was the most confidant guard around Zhao Guogong. It was said that the emperor had been interested in him many years ago, but he had never been able to lure him over. Only recently did he get his wish. However, such a guard who was once an outsider could actually be like this.
He was so trusted by the emperor in such a short period of time, and he could still stay so aggressive while others were retreating? Isn't the word "kill without mercy" directed at this person?
After rejecting the outsiders, the emperor walked around the not-so-large public hall in Chukuan, and then said with a half-smile: "When I was a child, I felt that with your talent, if you take the imperial examination, you might be able to do it."
You have long since passed the imperial examination and become the prime minister. When you were promoted to the position of Chief of Ceremonies and Bingbi, others thought that you were already in a privileged position at your age, but I felt that I still wronged you."
Although the emperor's expression was natural and his tone was friendly, Chu Kuan would not think that the emperor was really just the child he had watched since childhood. Anyone who sat on the throne for nearly thirty years would have an extraordinary character. The emperor
It's just that many times I don't want to wrong myself, so I look wanton.
So, after thinking quickly in his mind for a moment, he simply knelt down and worshiped: "Because of the empress dowager's kindness, I was able to be reborn, because of the late emperor's mercy, I was able to study and learn martial arts, and because of the emperor's respect, I was able to be the director of rituals.
Therefore, I am determined to be loyal and repay the kindness of the three saints. As for becoming an official through the imperial examination..."
Chu Kuan directly raised his head, with a frank expression on his face: "Except for a small number of Xun officials who are dedicated to serving the country and the people, except for a small number of people who are really cool, and can also sit upright, and are not just quick-talkers.
Rather, he is a truly pure person who can assist the king, write books and establish theories, and teach the people below. Other scholars and servants do not look down upon him!"
"If I were in the same row as these people, I'm afraid I would feel uncomfortable all over!"
The emperor couldn't help but his eyelids twitched slightly, remembering the scene when he had just ascended the throne, sitting on a branch in the imperial garden with Chu Kuan, pointing at the moon and cursing those hateful old men in the court. But twenty-seven years later, he was
Many times he has compromised on those hateful bosses, but Chu Kuan clearly continues to hate those pedantic and useless people until now.
He couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows, and then said angrily: "Well, those scholars don't like you, and you don't like them either. It's just a matter of time to clear up the two things! Get up, and it won't be like this with me.
I feel so uncomfortable under my knees!"
Chu Kuan did not stand up as he was told, but still maintained the same posture as before: "I have made my own decisions in recent years. If your Majesty feels that I have done something wrong, please make it clear."
"You also know that you have made your own decisions!" The emperor was so angry that he took a few steps forward, lifted Chu Kuan up from the ground, and shouted angrily, "Who asked you to send an informant to Zhang Shou?
You want to send people to your door openly and openly, so sneakily..."
"Isn't that slave's eyeliner fair enough?" Chu Kuan saw the emperor grabbing his collar, and thought that when he was young, he liked to use collar grabbing in fights. After answering, Chu Kuan couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Wait.
Seeing that the emperor was stunned and relaxed his hand, he said seriously, "When I went there, I told him that he was a craftsman who had cast copper movable type in the Sili Jingjing Factory."
Uh... How could a craftsman who had worked as a book printer in the Lijie Jingjing Factory be recruited into Zhang Shou's workshop so openly? How could Zhang Shou recruit him so easily?
The emperor was slightly absent-minded, and then he couldn't help but glare at Chu Kuan with a tiger face: "You didn't discuss this with me in advance!"
"This servant just wants to make Zhang Shou aware that it is the Chief of Ceremonies who wants to put someone in his place. If he doesn't care, he won't care about it. If he cares, then he will have nothing to do with it when he complains to the emperor.
As soon as the emperor knew what he said, with Zhang Shou's cleverness, just by looking at the emperor's expression, he would naturally be more sure that this was just a slave who did it privately."
"He will never suspect that the emperor is worried about him. In fact, the emperor is indeed very confident about him."
Seeing the emperor staring at him more and more angrily, Chu Kuan said calmly: "But this slave is different. The emperor is too lazy to think about things, but I have to think more about it. Dr. Zhang has done a lot in the past year since he came to Beijing.
There are so many things that the predecessors did not expect, let alone cannot do, and his inheritance is obviously not that simple. Even if Mrs. Ge insists that he taught me, do you believe it, Your Majesty?"
Believe it or not!
His teacher now only thinks that Zhang Shou is very good, so he not only arranged for Zhang Shou's marriage, but also wanted to arrange a replacement crown ceremony. If he had a daughter, Zhu Ying might even meet her biggest rival...
Not to mention helping Zhang Shou with the issue of his apprenticeship, even if Zhang Shou had other problems, Ge Yong would take care of it without hesitation!
After all, Zhang Shou, apart from being a teacher, has a clean background. In the more than a year since he came to the capital, everything he has done is honest and can even be said to be beneficial to the country and the people.
The emperor mentally labeled the teacher as being biased, but in front of Chu Kuan, he still acted as if nothing had happened.
"I don't care about Zhang Shou's inheritance, not to mention that he has always been upright. I hope to fulfill Emperor Taizu's long-cherished wish and make our glorious Ming Dynasty stand on the top of the world. To achieve this kind of thing, can I still expect those who only have access to ancient books?
The old guy in the pile?”
Chu Kuan can be regarded as the person who knows the emperor best in the palace besides the Queen Mother. Even a close friend like Concubine Yu is stunned. Therefore, he is not surprised by the emperor's thoughts and even agrees with them, but this is not the case.
Not totally agree.
"I know that the emperor once hoped that Zhang Shou could disturb the stagnant water of the Imperial College. Now it seems that he has obviously done it. But the emperor has also seen that there are indeed many noble disciples in Banshan Hall who have begun to regain their strength and work hard, and Jiuzhang Hall has reopened.
Soon it was in full swing, but the other six halls of the Imperial College...hehe, the academic officials are fighting for power and profit, and Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye are just the same as before."
"So, the only people Zhang Shou can stir up are the people around him who can influence them, and they are all young people who are unwilling to be mediocre. As for those young people who are not old but have old hearts,
That is of little use. And as far as I know, the turmoil caused by Zhang Shou has caused many people to desperately trace his origins."
Seeing the disdain on the emperor's face, as if he wanted to say that the palace had not investigated enough about Zhang Shou's origins, Chu Kuan said word by word: "Your Majesty, because of what Hua Qiye witnessed, and because of Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo,
So we know that Zhang Shou is really the posthumous son of an ordinary scholar, but after all, he was born in the same year, month and day as Princess Yongping and Miss Zhu."
"Everyone speaks louder than others, so we have to be on guard. Therefore, I made a precautionary appearance in advance, which just stopped everyone's conversation."
The emperor was full of disapproval, but what Chu Kuan said next made him even more irritated. Just like Chu Kuan's self-proclaimed title at this moment made him feel uncomfortable. He knew very well that Chu Kuan would call himself a slave in front of others.
, this moment was intentional!
"The emperor is about to appoint the third prince as the prince. So, although Zhang Shou has taught the third prince before, if he continues to serve as the prince's tutor, I am afraid that the opposition in the court will be even greater. Don't tell me, the emperor plans to continue to let the third prince.
The prince is going to Jiuzhang Hall."
"I just intend to let Sanlang continue to go to Jiuzhangtang." The emperor said in a deep voice with a rigid face, "Sanlang's temper, although he has Shiro as a companion in the palace, after all, he still cannot come into contact with too many outsiders. In the future, he
If someone who wants to be an emperor cannot get in touch with people often and doesn't know how to deal with them, then over time, he might become the same cowardly person he used to be."
"You should know that from ancient times to the present, the so-called emperors of the sage know best how to control their ministers. They are often not as skilled as the women in the palace. Instead, they often run outside the palace since they were young. They are the best at dealing with people. And.
Those emperors who are better than the hands of women in the deep palace are either cowardly kings and mediocre rulers, or they are puppets played by ministers."
"I will never change my original intention just because some people from outside oppose it. If they don't want to do it, then get out. Over the years, I have accumulated a few talents in my pocket. It's not like when I just ascended the throne, my mother was afraid that the minister would give up the choice.
That’s when!”
"I am very satisfied with Zhang Shou and the students from Jiuzhangtang. So I will let Zhang Shou teach Sanlang, and let the students from Jiuzhangtang study with Sanlang so that he can know what an ordinary scholar is like from an early age.
"
Chu Kuan just wanted to test the emperor's attitude towards Zhang Shou as the prince's tutor. Seeing that the emperor was obviously determined, he simply stopped mentioning this issue and tried to change the topic to another aspect that he wanted.
"If the emperor insists on having Zhang Shou as a member of the Prince's division, then it will be very important to choose other teachers. The Sutra banquet was originally supposed to take a few days, but now it seems that it should be sooner rather than later. And the emperor specially summoned him to Beijing.
After the four mountain chiefs heard the news that the new crown prince was about to be enthroned, I am afraid that even Hong Shan Chief, who had expressed his intention to go back, would change his intentions."
"After I was full, I recruited that old guy to teach Sanlang? I couldn't stand him, so why did I bring someone in to harm Sanlang? He has already invited himself to return home. Once the Buddhist feast is over, let him get out!"
The emperor became angry when he mentioned Hong Shanzhang, and at the same time glared at Chu Kuan angrily: "You also said that the academies all over the world should select the best from the best, and select those academies that have students all over the world and serve as officials in the court.
He is a great Confucian scholar with a tolerant and open-minded personality, able to accept new things, and is proficient in miscellaneous subjects, but he ended up getting mixed up with such an old Taoist!"
Being scolded by the emperor, Chu Kuan also felt helpless. The ceremonial supervisor had limited manpower, and he focused more on taking care of various properties for the royal family. The spying information all over the world was just incidental. Besides,
Even if the spying was only concentrated in the officialdom, it was only after he took control of the Supervisor of Ceremonies that he began to spy on the teachers and professors of the academy.
And the emperor suddenly sent him to select mountain chiefs who were good at miscellaneous subjects from many academies in the world to summon to the capital. Time was tight and the task was urgent. He could only summarize the situation of each academy based on the reports below, and then pass it on paper.
Screen the information on.
Some students from Yuzhang Academy have made outstanding achievements in miscellaneous subjects. It is even said that someone used white crystal to grind a magic mirror that is said to be able to ignite fire. This thing was witnessed by the spy of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Of course he took it for granted.
He thought that it was taught by Hong Shan. Unexpectedly, when he met Hong, she actually confessed to him that she had secretly supported and encouraged him!
So, at this time, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said seriously: "I have asked people to go to Yuzhang Academy to investigate again, and finally found out that there are a few outstanding students in Yuzhang Academy in miscellaneous subjects.
The students are all the daughters of Chief Hong Shan. Hong secretly supports and gives direction, so they are obsessed with miscellaneous subjects..."
He very frankly stated what Hong said and what he had found out confirmed each other. As expected, the emperor's expression became extremely subtle.
He knew that the emperor's next attitude was nothing more than two. Either he was angry at Hong's intentions and kicked him out of the capital; or he felt that Hong's vision was unique and different from his father's. But since he had made the decision, he naturally
To push the emperor to make a choice that favors his choice.
"Your Majesty, the Hong family is so good at scheming. Of course we need to be careful, but since the emperor hates Chief Hong Shan, why not keep the Hong family? I personally went to the school to test Hong's talent and learning. She is proficient in all the four books and the five classics. She is a rare person.
She is a talented woman, and the most rare thing is that the women she once taught all started from the most superficial things."
"Don't you think, Your Majesty, that the teachers who taught you before Mrs. Ge became the emperor's teacher all tried to make the already profound classics of classics and history more profound? If they don't explain it in a foggy way, then it's not
It's like a good teacher. Young children should be taught by younger children, and it is only right to start from the shallower to the deeper. At least in this aspect, the Hong family still has an advantage."
Seeing that the emperor was silent and obviously starting to think about his words, Chu Kuan struck while the iron was hot and said: "The most important thing is that if the Hong family is selected, her father can go back with peace of mind. Moreover, her affairs can be covered by Jiuzhangtang
