Chapter 786 The drunkard's intention is not to drink
If it were him, he would dare to express clearly in front of Mrs. Ge and a group of royal family members who, although they were by no means high and powerful, could at least have a chance to talk to the emperor.
If you plan to regard yourself as an insignificant petty official, then you will have a time limit to work for the court, and this time limit is only five years?
Everyone, including Yan Yuxi, was quietly asking himself the same question, and in the end, it was obvious that everyone had different opinions. Yan Yuxi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Baisha can work hard for five years, but if it were me,
I am afraid to say that even though I have eaten rice from Linsheng and enjoyed the tax-free land as a civil servant, instead of being a small official, I would rather return to my hometown to teach."
"Because, I may make some slight contribution to the court as a minor official, but compared to me teaching and educating people, it is really far away. Who says that teaching students is not contributing to the country? What's more, if Shangguan is virtuous
If you are a good person and have outstanding talent, then I will naturally be convinced. However, if the Shangguan has a big belly and a plain diet, but he still has to pick his nose and eyes, I can't bear it."
"In the past, Tao Wuliu once said that he would not give up for five pecks of rice. Although I am far less noble than Mr. Wuliu, I am not willing to submit to a mere petty official, because if I become a petty official, I will definitely not be as good as those officials who have made a living as pens and pens for generations.
A member of the family is very skilled. But if he is immersed in papers every day and neglects his studies, he will undoubtedly gain more than he loses."
Regarding Yan Yuxi's equally sharp statement, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, but also did not make any judgment, but looked at the other three people. As a result, the three people's statements were slightly different from Chen Xianzhang and Yan Yuxi.
One person said that whether the imperial court earns rice or exempts from some taxes and servitude, it is to support scholars. Since it is to support scholars, rather than letting the world's students compete with clerks for their jobs, then since there are recommendations from important ministers, the central government will
The emperor and his ministers are unwilling to value talents, but only let them serve as mere clerks, so they can only walk away.
Another person said that even if he is a well-educated celebrity, but has no experience in practical affairs, it is a bit unrealistic to rush to ask for an excessively high official position and the trust of a superior. In the past, Longzhong of Zhuge Wuhou
Although he is famous throughout the ages, facts have proven that there are more people in the world who claim to be Zhuge Wuhou but are not as talented as Zhuge Wuhou.
You should keep your feet on the ground and become familiar with actual affairs before looking forward to higher official positions and governance space.
The attitude of the last person is also very tough. He calls the local officials such as the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the magistrate, the magistrate, and the magistrate. Those who serve as assistants and inspectors in the six central departments of the imperial court are all reserved for those who are not qualified officials.
If a true scholar who is an official has to submit to such a position after being recommended by others, then speaking out will not only compete with officials for position, but also lower himself to the level of officials.
After the emperor listened to the five people expressing their opinions one by one, he finally glanced at his teacher Ge Yong, who was always there, and then said with a smile: "The teacher's vision of people is really extraordinary. These five people who were in the public school
Although the lecturers have different temperaments and different knowledge, they are all people who dare to speak, and they are all people who dare to speak the truth."
The middle-aged man in front of them who asked sharp questions suddenly called Teacher Ge Yong directly, and everyone was really shocked. However, before these celebrities who finally realized the emperor's true identity could react, the emperor said with a smile: "
It is true that I have come here today, and I have learned something from your words. I would like to apologize for disturbing the teacher's guests."
Shi Shiran cupped his fists and cupped his hands. The emperor turned around and left without haste, while the clan members who had initially acted as pawns hurriedly followed him - otherwise, why should he be left behind to be questioned?
As soon as they left, the stunned celebrities finally recovered their normal thinking ability, and naturally all turned their heads to look at Ge Yong. At this time, Ge Yong, who had been silent just now, yelled: "What do you mean?
Just come and leave as soon as you say it, leaving the mess for me to clean up. Is there a student as shameless as you in the world?"
Although the emperor had already left the house, Yan Yuxi was very sure that the emperor could clearly hear Master Ge's loud voice.
Even though he didn't think that the emperor would blame Ge Yong for this, he was still sweating. As a result, he didn't wait for the emperor to leave and return, but instead waited for the frightened voice of a boy outside.
"Old Master, the Emperor has said that it is right for you to scold him for disturbing a grand gathering here today. To make up for it, he ordered people to select five new sets of printed copies from the ancient and modern Tongji library and give them to today's invitees.
All of you, please take this as an apology."
At this point, the boy paused for a moment, and then whispered: "Your Majesty said that your scolding was so angry that I sent you a box of Luo Han Guo for you to make tea to moisten your throat. He also said
, the Chief Secretary of Guangdong has just presented a batch of arithmetic books from overseas. Why don’t we send them to you for a look later? If you think they are good, let the interpreter translate them?"
Ge Yong was naturally furious when he heard that the emperor sent Luo Han Guo to "defeat the fire". However, when he heard that there was an arithmetic book, his expression finally improved, but he snorted and stopped continuing the topic.
He shook it off angrily, and then looked at the five people he invited today with a pleasant look.
"The Emperor has always thought about what is going on, so although today's events must have been specially arranged by him, you don't have to think too much. In my opinion, you all performed very well, and it is not in vain for me to invite you to the second time.
A group of people go to public schools to give lectures. You know, the emperor is not afraid that you will die if your words are not surprising, but what he is afraid of is that you will go along with others and do what they want."
It turns out that I just decided to tell the truth, but it turned out that I did the right thing?
Yan Yuxi and Chen Xianzhang laughed bitterly at the same time, and their expressions returned to normal. But among the other three, their expressions were completely different. Some were happy, some were suppressing fear, and some were regretful that they had missed an opportunity to talk freely in front of the emperor.
However, unlike these celebrities, after leaving the Ge Mansion, the emperor turned around and the large group of clan members he brought with him nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work today. What they just said, I think you all
If you remember it correctly, then spread it around. I hope that all those outside and other famous people will know about this."
This kind of task is naturally not difficult. However, the seven or eight clans looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out the emperor's intention. Just now, I was praising these five celebrities in front of Ge Yong for their frankness. To be honest,
Now they are asked to go out and preach these words. Is this because they obviously don't care, but in fact they don't?
"The question I asked today is not just for them, but also for scholars all over the world, so of course I hope to hear how other people discuss it."
The emperor was very aware of the concerns of the clan, so he simply explained it clearly: "So, you might as well publicize what I just said, so as not to make people think that I am dissatisfied with them."
With the emperor's words, the smartest old and young in these clans naturally understood, so they bid farewell to the emperor. They all hurriedly went about their own business and hurriedly spread the news about today's incident in Ge Mansion.
So, as the emperor wished, the five celebrities faced the emperor's harsh question, and their different attitudes spread out as quickly as possible. So much so that Chen Xianzhang downplayed it after returning, and Liang Chu didn't know
There was not much substantive news, but when he went out for lunch, he heard a lot of various versions of the news.
But even though those reports have different opinions, one thing is the same, that is, they are all talking about Chen Xianzhang's incredible attitude in front of the emperor. Being a scholar with a good reputation, receiving rice from the court, being exempted from some taxes and other privileges, this is not
Should it be right? Where is the need to serve the officials? Since the Song Dynasty, hasn’t the state’s support for scholars always been so generous?
To be honest, the admission quota for Jinshi in this dynasty is much less than that in the Song Dynasty!
Liang Chu, who came back in a hurry, originally planned to ask the teacher about this matter, but when he poked his head at the door, he found that Chen Xianzhang could still concentrate on reading. After thinking about it, he finally felt that even if he went in, he would only be able to read.
I would be easily dismissed by my own teacher with a few words.
As a result, this young prodigy who was now well-known in the capital because of his teacher Chen Xianzhang quietly withdrew, then slipped out of the inn and went straight to Zhang Yuan to submit a message to ask for an audience. However, Zhang Shou, a busy man, of course, was not busy during the day.
At home, Zhu Ying was also busy with the enrollment of the first batch of students in the women's school, but he wasted no time.
Undaunted, the Liang boy asked the concierge and found out that Zhang Shou went to Ciqing Palace to give lectures in the morning and should be at the public school in the afternoon. He went straight out of the city without stopping, but after arriving at the public school, he was in vain.
. At noon, most of the food will be left in the Ciqing Palace, and Zhang Shou often has to chat with the prince for a while before leaving. At least he will not go to the public school until the first day of the year or even before the first hour.
This time, Young Man Liang was determined to wait patiently here. Since Zhang Shou had to go to class, there was no way he would not come back. However, this child prodigy who had long been famous in the countryside was not willing to just wait here in boredom.
Anyway, the public school was not the Imperial College, and people were not allowed to visit, so he simply registered his name, surname, and place of origin at the concierge, and then walked in without hesitation.
He came here last time with Chen Xianzhang who was giving a lecture, but at that time he was just nervous. In addition, the teacher's lecture was too difficult. Even with him explaining beside him, the third prince's face was still confused when he left, so he didn't do it at all.
He noticed other scenes in the public school, but today he decided to take a closer look.
Therefore, Liang Chu, who knew the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, did not dislike that the things taught in the junior high school and senior classes in the public school were too simple and straightforward for him to bear to listen to. Instead, he lingered in every classroom for a while.
He even went to see the locker room where the school uniforms were kept. He couldn't help but have mixed feelings when he learned that Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan went out to fight for the funding, and that Zhang Shou came up with the name of the school uniforms and locker room.
It is obvious that they are just a group of students who are only slightly better than the illiterate. Even the content taught in the advanced class is only the most superficial knowledge in the student examination. However, now those students, like the students of the Imperial College, are wearing the uniform of the public school.
With uniform clothes and outfit, the energy and energy immediately seemed different when he walked out.
Of course, what Liang Chu wanted to see most was not just how these ordinary students went to class. He was more interested in Zhang Shou's Jiuzhang Hall and Banshan Hall. Especially since Zhang Shou was not here today.
Next, will these two places continue to have classes, or will they be selling themselves off to others, doing one thing in front of them and another behind their backs?
So, he quietly went to the Banshan Hall where Guijie's disciples gathered. Just when he looked outside the door, he found that the middle-aged man giving a lecture on the stage saw him with sharp eyes, and even shouted bluntly:
: "Who is sneaking outside the door?"
Seeing a lot of people turning to look at him, Liang Chu couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He even had the feeling that people would come out in droves at the next moment, uttering evil words and even throwing fists at him like the bad guys in the market. However,
, he realized the next moment that his shallow understanding was wrong.
Because among the people who turned around and took a look, someone actually recognized him very sharply. He was a very big boy, slightly older than him. The person actually shouted bluntly: "Sir, then
He is a student of Mr. Bai Sha who came to the public school to give lectures. He is now the candidate for the Guangdong Provincial Examination, Liang Xianggong. He is not some friend who comes here to have fun with us!"
"Mr. Lin, he probably came to visit the public school."
The middle-aged man who was lecturing on the stage realized that the person speaking was Zhang Datou, the chief of the restaurant. He couldn't help but glared at the person with some annoyance, but he didn't open his mouth to curse. After all, he was relatively well-known in the academic circle of Song history in the capital, but he was actually not very famous.
Why would you want to go to a public school to teach a group of famous dandies? However, the public school is now very famous, and the reputation of these boys is also increasing day by day.
If he refuses casually, he will be remembered by the elders of these people later, and he is really asking for trouble.
What made him quite gratified at this time was that Mr. Baisha, a student who was said to have even attended the lectures in person, was actually interested in his lectures. This also made him energetic and try his best.
, taking into account Song Huizong's frivolous attitude towards state affairs and his outstanding talents in calligraphy, painting and other arts, it is completely different from the attitude of ordinary historians who criticize the playthings for losing one's ambition.
After Liang Chu found out that his identity was exposed, the teachers and students inside ignored him. Instead, he felt comfortable giving lectures and listening to lectures. He stood at the door and listened with great interest.
However, when he heard people claiming that if Song Huizong were not emperor, he would definitely become a wise king who would leave his name in history, and if Song Zhezong continued to reign, he might not have a maritime alliance, he finally couldn't help it.
He said something outside the door.
"Although Zhezong of the Song Dynasty may not be called the last generation of heroes, and after the Jurchens become stronger, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty may not be able to resist the temptation to take back Yanyun, and the maritime alliance of Song and Jin may not happen again. I deeply believe in your judgment.
However, if Song Huizong was just a clan member, he could be regarded as a great master just because he was good at Cuju, calligraphy and painting..."
"But that's all. It's just a stubborn clan. You can't call him a wise king, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him: "For the clan of the Song Dynasty, as long as they can stay in peace, as long as they don't care about things, whether it's playing with women, calligraphy, painting, Cuju, gold and stone, etc., that's all.
Wise King. In this sense, Mr. Lin’s explanation just now is extremely precise.”
