Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters obey and disobey
The King of Goryeo, who had just ascended the throne for a year, suddenly died. The news spread like wildfire in the capital because of the voice of a certain Goryeo messenger who shouted in public. Although many people may not even know where Goryeo was before the incident involving the second prince.
I didn't pay any particular attention to it, but now everyone knows about it, and for a while I wanted to make up two plays and sing about it.
As for the candidates who are waiting for this year's imperial examination, as well as the celebrities who gathered in the capital because of the registration in the East Palace, the reaction is one level higher than the reaction of ordinary people.
Some people think that something happened on the Goryeo side, so that the tribute ship was robbed, and then someone got into it, and even kidnapped the second prince in the name of saving people. Some people think that the King of Goryeo instigated the incident, and after the incident, this
The King of Korea was killed and silenced. Some people think that the thieves in Korea were so powerful that they were able to kill the King of Korea and put the blame on him.
But generally speaking, the Korean envoys and Zheshanjun, who are now living well together with Nanguan in the capital, have been ignored. Even if the Korean messenger once said that Zheshangun would go back to take over the throne, it would not be much.
People take this too seriously.
He's just the king of a small vassal country, what's the big deal? Think about how pitiful that young child is. At a time when the country is in turmoil, he has to go back to take care of the mess - most likely not to take the blame.
Just as a puppet.
So, when the follow-up news came, the emperor agreed with the cabinet bachelors and ministers that the weather would be extremely cold and wait until February turned into March before letting the tiger go on the road. During this period, in order to meet the requirements for people to go to Beijing,
In order to study in the Imperial College, Zhang Shou will be lectured by the East Palace as the teacher of Zhe Shanjun.
As soon as this news came out, it was even more exciting than the mere death of the King of Korea! Especially since they were obviously sent to the Imperial College to study. Now even if it is in line with their original intention, why should they be sent to the Imperial College?
Zhang Shou?
The reason why the word "stuff" has become the consensus of others is naturally because Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye of the Imperial Academy were very angry after learning about it. In addition, several doctors were also angry about it.
It was revealed during a gathering with several celebrities from outside Japan. As a result, after the word spread, the Imperial College immediately ushered in a counterattack by Zhang Shou's student group.
A group of rich and noble children directly booked the same private box in the same restaurant where the literati were gathering that day. They imitated those sour people and said some weird words. Finally, Lu Sanlang and Lu Xiaofatty simply slapped the table.
.
"The Imperial Imperial College has now fallen to the point of complaining because of a Korean? It's just a month of study. If they are not convinced and just come to take him away, our teachers are not surprised! That's all they have.
With such a big heart and magnanimity, it’s no wonder that the Imperial College is like this. The public school has invited celebrities from all over the world to give lectures several times, but not once in the Imperial College!”
After this word spread, the people related to the Imperial College were almost furious. The Imperial College has corresponding rules and regulations. Asking people to give lectures is not something that can be done just by patting the head of the priest and the director. It must be basically agreed by everyone at the top and bottom.
After that, how can the petition be so casual as a public school that doesn't even have a serious name?
But they think so, but ordinary people don't care about this. No one even thinks that Lu Sanlang and several Guijie disciples are talking big words. Zhang Shou has already taught a prince, but he still cares about a mere King of Goryeo?
Zheshanjun didn't know what the people were thinking, because the entire Korean delegation could not go out to join the Nanguan, which was like being under house arrest. Moreover, when he learned that the Korean messenger who only brought a message was not from
The imperial court was sent privately by his mother, the concubine, and he was even more angry and afraid.
I was angry that the messenger was so careless, and such an important message was broadcast to the public; I was afraid that my mother was so eager, and if the political enemies in the DPRK found out, it would definitely cause countless troubles. This kind of
As a junior, the mother does not have much power in the important matter of the king's heir. Offending my grandmother, the kind and holy queen, might have the opposite effect.
But regardless of his mood, the most important thing Zheshanjun has to do now is to recover from his illness, and then when Zhang Shou comes to class on a routine basis, he and Li Cao Shensuo, who accompanies the class, listen carefully to Zhang Shou's class.
The two of them were originally worried that it was rumored that Zhang Shou, who was proficient in arithmetic, would teach them those heavenly books, but Zhang Shou did not mention them at all, nor did he bring any classics and history books with him every time. Instead, he just talked about it with all his imagination.
Counselor Li Cao only thought that this was nonsense, just to perfunctory the task assigned by the Emperor of Heaven. However, Zheshanjun tried to understand the other party's purpose from this nonsense. So, after listening to it for a few days, he was originally
Zheshanjun, who was completely immature in mind, discovered that what Zhang Shou said was indeed true in various aspects of history.
And it is different from those who wrote the final comments of those who wrote national history. When Zhang Shou talked about certain words and deeds of certain emperors, generals and ministers, he would suddenly describe them from an angle that the scholars of this era avoided or did not admit.
expression.
For example, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng teamed up to play a good show of humbly accepting advice. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty Li Zhi was not a cowardly and foolish emperor who was infatuated with Empress Wu and even allowed others to dominate the overall situation. The eldest grandson Wuji was a relative of Bingguo, so he was tabooed, but Emperor Gaozong was not.
It is to kill people with the sword of Empress Wu...
In the past, Zhang Shou would not easily give advice to the third prince on the principles of governing the country. After all, it would be easy for someone to instil heresies into the Prince of the East Palace, but when faced with the tiger, he had no pressure at all.
.
Therefore, it is trivial to use the past to satirize the present, and to use China to satirize the DPRK. He even bluntly pointed out that the extremely rigid class restrictions in North Korea have made the situation worse and worse in the end. On the one hand, they set up scientific research hypocritically, and on the other hand, they only let
Only people from two classes can participate, and the rest can only participate in miscellaneous subjects. There are no other strategies to show fairness such as anonymity and transcripts. In the end, they are just selling sheep over others.
But on this day, when Zhang Shou left Huitong South Hall, he made a sensational statement to Zhe Shanjun.
"If things go on like this, Goryeo will really be ruined. Either it will be destroyed by the uprising of the people, or it will be destroyed by the powerful ships and cannons of the outside world."
Zhang Shou didn't have to look back to know the ugly faces behind him. It's a taboo to scold a bald donkey in front of a monk. Moreover, if he wakes up his national consciousness by scolding him, he can really revive his flag after he goes back.
Drums, drastic reforms, maybe if you look back, the lion on the side of the bed will wake up...
Of course, he knew very well that that was absolutely impossible!
Even if the disadvantages are really put in front of the future king, even if the person is ten years older, or even if it is Li Chenggui himself, what he can do is very limited, because Li's Joseon is on the humus soil of Wang's Goryeo
If a person grows up and does not undergo a complete process of destruction and reorganization, there will naturally be no rebirth.
If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty before and the Qing Dynasty behind it, Lee's Korea would have perished long ago!
Now, since the current emperor plans to station troops on Jeju Island out of anger, there must be an excuse, right? Although North Korea sends troops to attack possible pirates or rebels on Jeju Island, this is probably enough for Lee's North Korea these days.
The army was drunk, but if those pirates got wind of the situation and fled, it was not impossible for Jeju Island to be recovered safely.
In this case, why not let this little king go back and have a hard time with countless correct or incorrect knowledge? It would be a pity not to do so for a country that is even more corrupt and rigid than Wang's Goryeo.
Although the third prince was very curious about what Zhang Shou taught Zheshanjun, the emperor never mentioned it and seemed to be completely relieved to leave it to Zhang Shou. He very wisely restrained the eager fourth prince and did not allow anyone to leave the palace.
, and then tried hard to restrain his curiosity and not inquire about Zhang Shou, who came to Ciqing Palace to teach.
However, he could endure it, and the fourth prince could endure it when he forced him to do so, but that did not mean that other chamberlains could also endure it. For example, the two chamberlains who were born as supervisors could endure it again and again.
Finally one day one of them couldn't hold back anymore.
Ignoring the foreseeable future, and deciding to ignore the prince's resentment, he asked directly: "I dare to ask Bachelor Zhang. I heard that Tiger Tiger has been in better health these past two days and has gone to the public school to listen to your lectures.
Now, instead of you going to Huitong Nanguan to give him a lecture, may I ask what course you are giving him? History or arithmetic?"
"A child with no foundation and probably no talent may not be able to achieve any results after studying things like sutra arithmetic for one or two years, let alone one or two months, so of course I can't teach him."
Zhang Shou stopped the fourth prince from shouting, and said calmly: "As for telling history, I told him many stories from the past and present, but more importantly, I told him that his mother country was plagued by serious illnesses.
If not, there wouldn’t be a lot of pirates hiding on Jeju Island that they don’t know about at all.”
For this reason, we could have stopped temporarily, but the student supervisor who was originally a student supervisor was newly selected in the twelfth lunar month. At this time, his stubbornness broke out and he couldn't help but continue to ask: "Dare you ask Bachelor Zhang?
What is this serious illness?"
This time, Zhang Shou did not answer. He looked at the other person carefully, and then asked calmly: "Since you asked me this, let me ask you, do you know what kind of country Goryeo is where Zheshanjun is?"
Now, not to mention that the student supervisor was stuck, even the third prince was hesitant. On the contrary, because of his previous errand, the fourth prince, who had learned a lot from Zhang Shou, shouted impatiently:
"I know I know……"
"I didn't ask you." Zhang Shou smiled slightly and choked back the fourth prince's words. Then he continued calmly, "You know what kind of system the Goryeo Dynasty is like and what the imperial examination system is like.
When selecting talents, what classes are divided into under the royal family, and how is it different from our country's system?"
Seeing that the other party was unconvinced and unwilling, but kept his mouth tightly closed, not knowing what to say, Zhang Shou laughed and said, "So, if Zheshanjun stays in the Ming Dynasty for three to five years, then, in the
It would be enough for the imperial concubine to study for three to five years, study Neo-Confucianism, which was most respected by Goryeo, and then return to the country."
"But since there is only one month, what does the Imperial College tell him? Let him master one of the Four Books and Five Classics in one month? Which doctor has such ability? In addition to knowing that Goryeo is a country next to Liaodong, don't all the Imperial College students know that?
Like you, even if there are great sages who know only a little bit about the system of the Goryeo Dynasty, they don’t know what the living conditions of the people in their country are like?"
Being left speechless by Zhang Shou's call, the supervisor struggled for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Is it possible that Academician Zhang is a scholar of heaven and knows this?"
"Of course the teacher knows!" The fourth prince finally jumped out this time. After replying with a sentence, he said proudly, "The teacher told me that the country of Goryeo is only covered with a layer of Confucianism.
Divided into three, six, and nine grades..."
Now that the fourth prince's chat box had been opened, the third prince knew that trying to close it again was simply wishful thinking, so he simply didn't bother to stop it. Instead, he shook his head and listened. But as he listened, he discovered that the fourth prince spoke in great detail.
How many classes are there in the country? What is the imperial examination system? Let’s talk about the two groups of nobles who were later demoted to official slaves because of their crimes.
So, when the fourth prince's spitting explanation came to an end, the third prince, the prince, immediately said: "Teacher has always studied Chinese and foreign countries, and has been involved in the historical systems of various countries, so my father invited the teacher to teach him
Tiger, it can be said that he has completed the other party's long journey of studying. This is a wise eye that can discern pearls and discern the subtleties."
"As for what happens to Gao Li, that is their own business. We have sent people to investigate and we will wait for them to give an explanation first."
Of course, the dignified prince cannot comment on other people's systems like Zhang Shouxin, but after the third prince frowned, he couldn't help but whispered: "How can a country that brutalizes its people and abuses them last long?"
Zhang Shou secretly shook his head. Your Royal Highness, you are wrong. If this were the Li Dynasty in history, the country of Zuo would really be as long as the Ming and Qing Dynasties combined, and it would take longer than any unified dynasty in Chinese history!
The Wang family of Korea used the great strategy of being a vassal of Gan vassal to survive under the iron heel of the Yuan Dynasty. The Lee family of Korea used this trick more perfectly and successfully escaped two catastrophes. However, these two people are of the same origin.
The fact that the dynasty was able to last for such a long time was partly due to luck, but also because of their location with very few foreign enemies.
Therefore, Zhang Shou did not comment on the third prince's words and planned to end this topic that should not have been discussed in Ciqing Palace in the first place. However, at this moment, the fourth prince suddenly blurted out: "Teacher, my father has decreed today to grant
Thirty-five kinds of Korean Confucian classics."
Zhang Shou suddenly remembered that during the Song Dynasty, it seemed that for a long time all kinds of books were prohibited from leaving the country and entering countries like Xixia. Of course, he could not remember whether there was Goryeo. Now Goryeo is known as Confucianism and even emphasizes the rule of the country.
Confucianism suppressed Buddhism, and he even heard that monks were considered untouchables... In this case, it would be nothing if Confucian books were thrown over several carts or even several boats.
As for the arithmetic books, is he going to report that they are prohibited from leaving the country?
But when he thought about it again, he chuckled, nodded calmly and said: "Since Goryeo is known to value Confucianism, the emperor's move is naturally very good. He can also choose two solid geometry books and give them to him." He has the support of the emperor to promote mathematics.
It’s all so difficult, not to mention Lee’s North Korea, which is prone to crazy party disputes and all national laws are a piece of paper?
