If Zhang Shou were here and faced with Big Brother Zhang's really inexperienced question, he would helplessly remind you, don't force yourself to make trouble for nothing... However, since he sent Big Boy Zhang to ask this question,
That is to say, there is no hope of results at all. It doesn’t matter whether the Confucian scholar was really asked and walked away, or whether he retorted and sneered.
As a result, Zhang Datou immediately encountered a fierce counterattack from Master Kong: "What do you mean, no matter how many crimes you commit, as long as you get sick, it will be over? What crime did Kong Jiu commit? Tell me clearly, I will go back now and let people go."
Surrender to the Yamen! I, the Kong family, have a clean slate. If a scoundrel really comes out, I will never tolerate it!"
This is different from what the teacher said!
If Zhang Datou were replaced by his father Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong at this time, there would definitely be a lot of ridicule immediately, and he would not care at all about the righteous words of the great scholar Confucius. However, Zhang Datou
After all, he was not his father who had made great achievements in the battlefield. He was immediately frightened when he was shouted at by the Confucius University Scholar.
Fortunately, there is also an element of arrogance in human nature, so after just a moment of silence, he immediately said firmly: "My father often said that those people in this world who speak impassionedly and righteously often cannot bear to take a closer look.
There are so many people who say one thing but do another, and give up their opinions at every turn. Scholars from Confucius University should not imitate these duplicitous people."
After saying this, he was afraid that Academician Confucius would fight back again, so he bowed his hands sternly and ran away. Sure enough, just after he turned around and walked out a few steps, he heard the angry voice of Academician Confucius: "Sure enough, like his father, he must be like his father."
He has a son!"
Fortunately, I walk fast. Just by saying these words, my father would not be angry after hearing this, but would even praise me a few times. Zhang Datou thought so in his heart, and quickly quickened his pace, not paying attention to the people around him.
Those surprised looks coming over.
The scholars who came to listen to the lecture couldn't help but be surprised. If this was left to the local level, even wealthy gentry would not offend local officials too much. Not to mention the prefect, even the county magistrate would often pay three points to avoid being punished.
If they meet someone who is tough and not afraid of death, their family and family will be destroyed when the time comes. So in their eyes, when they are the elders of the court, they are simply powerful figures.
Nowadays, a person like Bachelor of Confucius would be beaten to his face by a young man?
As for Bachelor Kong, who knew Zhang Datou, he originally planned to have a fierce debate with others in public. He had even prepared a lot of fierce rhetoric, and then tried to break some news at the critical moment to make Master Kong Jiu.
The impact of those cases on myself and my family was minimized.
But he had never thought that Zhang Datou, who was obviously a little dazed, would stop talking and run away! He just heard someone argue with Zhang Shou unconvincingly after conveying Zhang Shou's question. He thought that this guy
It's easy to deal with. Now it seems that none of Zhang Shou's students are easy to deal with. He is so cunning!
Today, Qi Liang, who was here because of Zhang Shou's instructions, saw that the face of Master Kong changed several times, but in the end he sat still with a calm face. He couldn't help but admire the elder of the city, but in his heart
I couldn't help but wonder why Zhang Shou wanted to find such a big guy like Zhang Shou for such a talk.
If it had been him, wouldn't it have caused such a big commotion? After a while, the news spread, and the person who gave the lecture today might have thought that Zhang Shou was deliberately going against others, so he was trying to demoralize Confucius University...
…
Zhang Daotou, who was still frightened, jogged all the way out of the lecture hall and rushed back to the Mid-level Hall at almost the fastest speed. When he walked in quickly and finally stood upright with his legs supported, he found that there was silence all around.
, after straightening up, he saw everyone's eyes staring at him.
"It seems that you have returned from completing your mission?" Zhang Shou had just revealed the mission of Big Man Zhang to the other students. When he saw someone coming back, Zhang Shou couldn't help but tease him in a good mood. Seeing this tall and round boy, he was a little embarrassed.
Confused, he smiled and said, "Everyone knows what you are going to do. Looking at you like this, could it be that you were silenced by the Confucian scholar and returned defeated?"
"I will return defeated! I will make him speechless!"
Zhang Datou immediately perked up and recounted his glorious achievements in front of the Confucian University Scholars. Even so, most of the dandy boys expressed envy and hatred for him being able to speak so frankly in front of the Confucian University Scholars.
.After all, it is one thing to be able to act arrogantly in front of little people, but it is another thing to be bold in front of big people.
Although Zhang Shou was a little amused that Zhang Big Man was unnecessary, but since there was no big conflict and the expected goal was achieved, he didn't say anything more, but motioned to Zhang Big Man to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Okay.
Sorry, I have been delayed for such a short time. Now let’s continue the lecture. It’s still the Battle of Feishui. Let’s review it and talk about the former Qin’s chances of victory..."
The first famous scholar to come to the public school to give lectures was one who did not continue to take the imperial examination after passing the imperial examination. Instead, he directly became an official and taught Confucianism. After that, he served as several large and small academic officials in the Imperial College, but he never succeeded.
Yan Yuxi took a step forward.
It is said that he is a proud disciple of Xue Xuan of the famous Hedong School, but as for Zhang Shou...who is that? He doesn't know either teacher or student, doesn't know, and doesn't understand.
So, even though that person was not one of the celebrities and sages he had met in Ge Mansion last time, he decisively skipped the meeting and leisurely continued his lecture on history in the Banshan Hall where he interacted a lot with students.
Why should a guy like him with poor philosophy listen to logic... It would be better to kill him. You know, this theory is not that theory, it is pure liberal arts theory!
Zhang Shou didn't come. Scholar Kong was secretly proud, because not only did he come himself, but he also called several disciples to come to help. I think it would only be the second-generation outstanding figure of the Hedong School who was giving the lecture who found out that he was here but Zhang Shou didn't come.
, you will naturally know what you are doing.
Another reason why he came today is that he has some friendship with Yan Yuxi’s teacher, Xue Hedong Xue Xuan, who founded the Hedong School. In recent years, he has become famous in the north. The other person is an orthodox Neo-Confucian and a former Pavilion elder. Compared with the Chongren School,
Of course he prefers to show intimacy.
So, after listening to the lecture, I saw that what Yan Yuxi said was approved by many scholars, and the response was quite good. Scholar Confucius, who chose to come to help on the first day today, was relieved. He was pleased.
He stood up, put his palms together and praised: "It is said that Xue Hedong is the successor of Zhu Xue. After listening to Yan Zi's lecture today, I really have the style of being a master."
Yan Yuxi had already noticed that Scholar Confucius had arrived. However, he had always been poor and happy with Taoism. He kept a distance from the powerful without respecting the powerful, but he was unwilling to get too close. Therefore, Scholar Confucius did not say anything. He originally planned to leave quietly after finishing his speech.
People, who knew that the Confucian scholar would express his praise in public.
Although he was unexpected, the middle-aged man still smiled calmly and said: "The scholar of Confucius University is so ridiculous. How can I compare with the teacher? What I just said is only one or two reasons. I regret that I can't do it for you."
Explain it in more depth.”
None of the officials dared to interrupt in front of the current court elder. Naturally, they did not dare to say a word at this time. They could only watch with admiration as the Confucian scholar praised Yan Yuxi's talents. Those who were smart could realize it.
, I am afraid that this elder wanted to support the famous person who was giving the lecture today, and he felt very lucky to have come to attend today’s class.
Sure enough, Academician Confucius actually said in front of everyone: "Ziyu used to be in the Imperial College for many years, but unfortunately he fell into a subordinate position. Otherwise, the Imperial College would not have been as ill as it is now. However, the current dilemma of the Imperial College actually lies at the bottom.
I would like to recommend you as the censor of the county school and the inspector of schools in Beizhili, so as to change the current laziness and decadence among the students!"
Yan Yuxi almost felt like he was hearing hallucinations. You know, he only had a taste of the academic field. After passing the junior provincial examination, he became a small academic officer. After his mother died, he stayed in mourning for three years and then went to pay homage to Xue Xue.
Xuan became his teacher, and after he returned from his studies, his predecessor, who was a former Confucian scholar, recommended him to serve as academic principal in the Imperial College. However, it didn't take long for him to offend the popular Mr. Jiangge.
So since then, he has been stumbling around in the eighth or ninth rank of minor officials. In the first two years, he simply resigned and taught in his hometown.
Even just three years ago, his teacher was once summoned to the capital to join the cabinet. At that time, the students of the entire Hedong School were extremely excited. However, it turned out that although Xue Xuan taught his disciples well, they were incompatible with the emperor's temperament.
The most important thing is that Mr. Jiangge’s methods of ostracizing people were simply superb. Within a year, the teacher retired and returned to his hometown to become an official.
When he came to the capital this time, he was also entrusted by other brothers, hoping to understand the temperament of the current prince, that is, the future emperor, and whether the Hedong School should focus on officialdom or education in the future. As for other issues, he has not yet
decided.
Therefore, when Confucius University Scholar threw out such a huge bait, he really did not dare to swallow it, and he was unwilling to swallow it. The position of Inspector and Censor of Beizhili was given to him by a person who had never even passed the Jinshi exam.
?
If Scholar Kong knew what Yan Yuxi was thinking at this time, he would definitely scold him for being useless.
A guy who has never even passed the Jinshi exam, and is not even a scholar, is now working as a teacher for the prince. You, a second-generation disciple of the Hedong School, still feel ashamed to be an inspector and censor.
, isn’t this a joke?
So, when Yan Yuxi showed a somewhat frightened expression and sincerely stated that the matter was serious and needed to be carefully considered, Academician Kong only thought it was humility, while most of the other disciples below were truly envious.
.
Although many people saw the scene where Zhang Datou questioned the Confucian scholar before, but after the many teachers and students dispersed, the rumors circulating outside were all about the famous scholar Yan Yuxi who was giving the lecture today and was about to study in Beijing.
Zhili!
Of the four remaining lecturers, Chen Xianzhang certainly had no insistence on the outcome, but the other three were all busy at their desks making preparations, hoping to become famous in one fell swoop - and at the same time, they also placed their hopes on Confucius's bachelor or others.
Dignitaries and dignitaries can come to build momentum for themselves, or they can find ways to suppress others.
The Prince of the East Palace did not come to listen to the lecture on the first day in person, which made them feel quite hopeful.
How did they know that after learning that Confucius had gone to a public school and promised in public to be recommended by the Northern Zhili Supervisor and Censor, the emperor said a few words to his little prince that would make people's eyes drop to the floor.
Zi's words.
"It's a pity. I originally thought that Yan Yuxi had a commendable filial piety and good knowledge. I planned to come to the palace to give you a trial lesson. If he is good, I will keep him as your teacher. Since Confucius University thinks that this person is suitable to supervise the school in Beijing,
Zhili, then I’ll wait for a while and get him right.”
The third prince simply didn't know how to evaluate his father. He had just asked himself before if he wanted to have another teacher like Chen Xianzhang. The matter hadn't been settled yet, but he told himself that he had actually planned to get Yan Yuxi to do it as well.
His teacher?
You must know that he currently has more than twelve lecturers in the East Palace. If he adds more, he will not be able to distinguish the classes taught by each person. Although each person teaches one class, it is different from
Zhang Shou, many readers will unconsciously add personal interpretations to the content, so he is a bit confused.
But even though his father always cared deeply about him, the third prince thought about the issue of the allocation of reading officers, but he still did not immediately raise an objection. Instead, when Zhang Shou came to give a lecture that afternoon, he continued
Chu Kuan withdrew, and then sincerely asked for advice in front of Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang. He felt that there were too many lectures and readings in the East Palace, and would it be easy to confuse the content of the lecture.
For such a thorny issue, Lu Sanlang, who was the only one who didn't have to worry about whether he would not be re-elected as the East Palace Attendant, couldn't help but feel a headache.
If someone else had asked this, he would have prevaricated it, but the problem was that the person who was not ashamed to ask was the prince, the third prince. So, he racked his brains and thought for a long time, and then said uncertainly: "Your Highness, if you don't want to
If there are more people, or if you think there are any shortcomings in the existing lecturers and readers, why not tell the emperor clearly that if these lecturers and readers in the East Palace are good, they will be kept, and if they are not good, they will be released?"
"Does this make people feel disrespected?" The third prince knitted his brows into a knot, "Especially when someone is very confident in his lectures, and the world also thinks highly of them, but I feel that it is not suitable for me to treat people like this.
He was invited for a while but sent out with gifts. If this spreads..."
He didn't say the second half of his words directly, but both Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang understood what he meant. Seeing that Lu Sanlang's face was full of confusion and he obviously couldn't think of a good idea, Zhang Shou said softly: "Your Highness, you might as well ask directly
Your Majesty, there are so many lecturers left in the East Palace. Firstly, it is easy to get confused in the lectures. Secondly, there are conflicts in each other's ideas. Thirdly, this is also the most important thing..."
"It is difficult to show the importance of lectures and readings in the East Palace. Therefore, whenever the emperor encounters people with real talents and learning, he wants to put them in the East Palace to give lectures and readings. Is this to make the best use of people, or to study for the prince? If it is to make the best use of people, such as
It is very appropriate for the Confucian scholar to recommend someone to be the inspector of schools in Beizhili. If it is for the prince to study, why not also learn from the East Palace lecturer and study like the East Palace attendant, rotating on a monthly basis?"
When the emperor heard Zhang Shou's words relayed by the third prince, he burst into laughter. Then, under the confused eyes of the third prince, he flicked his son's forehead: "I am indeed testing people one by one. But
So what? If my prince wants to hire a teacher, shouldn’t all the famous teachers in the world try it out and then select the best ones for admission? I am also the one Jiang Taigong fished for!"
