Chapter 442: There are rivers and mountains, but I don’t know what the rivers and mountains are
Chen Xingxiu was very patient. He worked as a doctor of Taixue for five years without being arrogant or arrogant. Later, he could be said to have turned into a dragon when encountering a storm. In those years, no one had counted how many grades Chen Xingxiu had skipped. Now he is in the imperial court.
How many steps did he walk forward on the road before he finally reached the position where he was shoulder to shoulder with Wang Hongxi? Others could not see these things, but the prince's master who was watching the affairs of the court with a cold eye could see them clearly.
"Have you read my "Outline of the Wooden Sutra"?" Ming Yongshou looked at Chen Xingxiu and asked.
"I've seen it." Chen Xingxiu nodded slightly.
"What do you think?" Ming Yongshou asked next.
"The book is a good book, but it still has flaws." Chen Xingxiu told the truth.
After the words fell, the people around Ming Yongshou looked at each other. In fact, the three of them also knew that there were flaws in this book, but because of the name of Mr. Ming, no one ever raised it at this time. After all, the minister who was beheaded back then
The Minister of Zhongsi is a living example. After that incident, no one in Daliang's court mentioned Mr. Ming's name. Because they were afraid that the emperor would show his power again, so even if he knew it, he would not
Someone said that this book "The Outline of the Wooden Classics" has always been legitimately used as a textbook for the imperial examination. However, the teachers at Hanlinyuan would take the initiative to point out the flaws during class and let the students correct them.
People in Hanlinyuan knew about these things but didn't dare to tell them. People in the official department knew about them but didn't dare to tell them. Chen Xingxiu also knew about them, but Chen Xingxiu told them. If Ming Yongshou didn't meet Li Longqian, then he might never know about it in his life.
Know.
"Do you know there are flaws in this book?" Mr. Ming turned to look at the three people next to him and asked.
The three people looked at each other, but no one said anything.
"If you know, you know. If you don't know, you don't know." At this moment, the emperor on the dragon throne spoke.
"I know." The three of them nodded at the same time.
"You bastard!" Ming Yongshou cursed loudly, frightening the three of them to their knees. Ming Yongshou walked up to Chen Xingxiu with his hands behind his back and looked at Chen Xingxiu and asked: "Since you know that there is something in this book
Why don't you let them correct the mistakes? How do you, the Prime Minister, serve as a minister? Can you still do it? If you can't, get out and go home!"
After these words were scolded, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were stunned. Even if you are the prince's master, these words are a bit serious. No matter what, you won't scold him so harshly, right?
But Chen Xingxiu, who was scolded, replied very calmly: "This junior understands his mistake."
There was no refutation or explanation. Chen Xingxiu knew that the explanation could only get darker the more he explained it. He was familiar with old man Ming's mouth. If such a scolding could be enough, then Chen Xingxiu had gained a big advantage. Obviously Ming Yongshou
He won't give up so easily and point his finger at Chen Xingxiu
He cursed with his nose: "You said you are still a prime minister. You can't even control these three people. How can you be a prime minister? You might as well go home and be your county official. You can't control these three people."
Can’t you control other people? What’s wrong? You don’t dare to speak now, do you?”
Chen Xingxiu looked at Ming Yongshou without saying a word.
"You shamelessly asked my son to leave and become your student, how can you teach my son well? Now I really doubt your level, let me tell you!"
Chen Xingxiu's face turned red when he heard this.
In this way, Ming Yongshou scolded Chen Xingxiu in full view of the public for more than half an hour, while Zhu You, who was sitting on the dragon chair, kept looking at the people below with a smile without saying a word.
The little eunuch refilled two cups of tea for Ming Yongshou. It was a trivial matter for his prime minister to be scolded, but it would be really bad if he got tired of being scolded by his own teacher. This was what Zhu You was thinking at this time.
After Ming Yongshou scolded Chen Xingxiu, he probably felt that it was not enough, so he walked up to the three people and cursed fiercely. The words he said were also very unpleasant. He said that if he didn't understand shit, he might as well go home and farm.
The words also came from the mouth of Ming Yongshou
After saying it, Ming Yongshou didn't care about his own image at this time, nor did he care about the faces of the others, because in Ming Yongshou's eyes, these people deserved scolding. If he didn't scold him today, I'm afraid he wouldn't in the future.
People can curse now.
"When you go back and think about it carefully, how many people in this hall are there who can tell the truth? What happened to you? Where are your eloquent mouths when the late emperor was in power? Where are they?
Now that the country is stable and prosperous, your mouths will be able to eat those delicacies, right? Chen Xingxiu, don’t forget why you became a doctor of Taixue for five years. Those five years have meant a lot to you.
It’s a lifetime wealth!”
Ming Yongshou's words ended today's morning court. When the court dismissed, everyone went out with red faces. Ming Yongshou's words were meant to scold Chen Xingxiu, but they were not meant to be scolded for them. Today, in the court hall of Daliang
How many people are really left who tell the truth and dare to tell the truth? This is a question worthy of everyone's careful consideration.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, especially in the current dynasty. Although His Majesty is not very old, he is very talented and powerful, and the emperor's mind is at its peak. No one dares to say that he is well versed in trying to figure out the holy will. Originally, he was walking on thin ice. After Ming Yongshou,
After all the trouble, people became even more panicked,
These courtiers began to wonder whether it was better for them to tell the truth or not. After Chen Xingxiu left the hall, his mind was always filled with the words Ming Yongshou scolded him. Chen Xingxiu knew that although he had learned what tact was over the years,
But maybe it's a bit too smooth.
After the dynasty was over, Zhu You left Ming Yongshou alone in the Jinluan Palace and did not continue to talk about the previous issue, because Zhu You knew that the teacher was making such a fuss just to remind today's officials that tact is important in officialdom.
, but if everyone is smooth
, then the truth would not be heard, so Zhu You directly told Ming Yongshou his thoughts about eliminating dissidents from his heart. Ming Yongshou looked at the list Zhu You gave him for three hours, and finally
He actually tore up the list in front of Emperor Zhu You.
"Teacher, why are you doing this?" Zhu You looked at Ming Yongshou with a very confused tone.
Ming Yongshou looked at Zhu You and said calmly: "The real art of the emperor is not to eliminate dissidents, but how to use dissidents for me. If you kill these people, new people will appear. We can't kill all these people."
Incessantly, they are like mosquitoes in summer. When one group disappears, a new one will appear. It’s not that there is a problem with people, it’s that the world is too peaceful now. People are still human after all, and they cannot resist the temptation of this world.
.”
After hearing these words, Zhu You was silent for a long time, and then nodded slightly. He said that he had benefited a lot and made Zhu You give up the idea of killing everyone.
Ming Yongshou offended four people when he went to court today, but he saved the civil and military officials of the court, and also saved the emperor Zhu You.
Whether it was the prince before he ascended the throne or the emperor after he ascended the throne, everyone praised Zhu You for his meritorious service and had an attitude of not saying anything about it, so Zhu You was usually numb to those kind words, but
There is only one person who treats Zhu You differently, and this person is his teacher, Prince Shi Ming Yongshou. When Ming Yongshou was his teacher, he was not like Zhu You's other teachers who taught him according to his temperament.
The teaching method is
What? You will learn whatever I teach. It doesn’t matter whether Zhu You is the prince or not. If you don’t learn or can’t learn, I will beat you. Ming Yongshou’s beating is not just for fun. Once Zhu You makes a mistake,
No one can say that. They just copied the board and hit their hands. So, except for Ming Yongshou, everyone in the palace smiled at Zhu You. Whatever Zhu You said, it was whatever he said.
But when Ming Yongshou looks at Zhu You, he always looks like
With a straight face, Zhu You did whatever Ming Yongshou said. Zhu You didn't like this teacher at first. After all, his mother and father had never beaten him, so the young Zhu You often went to Queen Xue after being beaten.
When complaining, Empress Xue smiled slightly every time and never made decisions for herself. At that time, Zhu You couldn't understand why his mother, stepfather and emperor all favored this old man. How could this old man be so virtuous and capable of treating him?
It doesn't matter if he shouts or shouts at himself. One time, Zhu You actually saw this old man scolding his father. You must know that his father is an upright king of a country. He will never live forever.
Bu Cheng was not afraid that his head would be chopped off, but he could speak like this to his father. At that time, Zhu You knew that his teacher was not an ordinary person, at least not like those ministers who kowtowed to his father every day.
.
Later, as Zhu You got older and older, Zhu You contradicted Ming Yongshou more and more often, and Ming Yongshou picked up the board more and more times, but slowly Zhu You discovered
The teacher's board didn't seem to hurt so much anymore. At first, Zhu You thought he was used to it, but then Zhu You realized that it was an old man who kept a straight face every day.
Ming Yongshou's strength was weakening. Ming Yongshou's expression did not change after hitting Zhu You fifty times, but now after ten times, Ming Yongshou was out of breath. In the end, Ming Yongshou said: "I can teach you anything in the future."
." He retired and returned to his hometown. Zhu You was very happy at first. After all, after the old man left, no one forced him to write the "Emperor's Sutra" silently every day.
In Zhu You's opinion, "Qi Tian Shu" was a useless book with long and cumbersome text. Therefore, without Ming Yongshou, Zhu You's life became a lot easier, but slowly Zhu You began to feel that something was missing around him.
What, but Zhu You just doesn't know what is missing. He will definitely not admit that it is the old man Ming Yongshou who is missing, but in the end he still has to
Admitting that Ming Yongshou's scolding was missing from his ears, slowly even without Ming Yongshou, Zhu You still picked up the broken books that he had thrown aside. From the moment he picked up the books, Zhu You knew
Ming Yongshou was different from his other teachers. The other teachers were all slaves of his prince Zhu You, but Ming Yongshou was a real teacher.
Later, Zhu You completely understood that no matter what his status was, whether he was an emperor or a prince, in Ming Yongshou's eyes he was just an ordinary student, a student who would salute whenever he saw him, and in Zhu You's heart
, Ming Yongshou has always been his teacher. No matter when and where he sees Ming Yongshou, he should salute. This has nothing to do with whether he is wearing a dragon robe. The relationship between students and teachers is not important in Zhu You's eyes.
It will change because of your identity.
In the imperial garden of the palace.
Ming Yongshou was in front, Zhu You was behind, and behind Zhu You were dozens of trembling servants. Those servants couldn't figure out who this old man was, and he could actually let the emperor follow him. You must know that even if
Empress Dowager Xue in the harem also followed the emperor
Walking side by side, is it possible that this old man is more valuable than the Queen Mother Xue? The slaves couldn't understand this because they didn't know that Zhu You didn't realize that he was an emperor at this time, but just a student. The student followed the teacher.
That is a matter of course.
"The back garden in your palace is really magnificent." Ming Yongshou stopped, smacked his lips, and nodded in comment.
"My father liked to play with these things when he was alive." Zhu You replied softly.
"Haha, the late emperor himself was a fun-loving person. He always endured it during the war. Now that he has become the emperor, he probably won't be able to endure it anymore."
Chen Xingxiu and Wang Hongxi did not dare to say such comments about the late emperor in front of the current emperor, but Ming Yongshou did.
"Yeah." Zhu You nodded slightly and did not continue the conversation. Instead, he took the initiative to show concern for Ming Yongshou's son, Ming Wenshi.
"Teacher, I want Mr. Ming to go forward." Mr. Ming was talking about the Mingwen Stone.
"No." Ming Yongshou said sternly without even thinking.
"Shilang Ming, Shishi Zhongshu has been doing this for some time, and I've always wanted to mention it," Zhu You continued.
"At how young is he, he has become the Vice Minister of Zhongshu? He is even more arrogant than me. Why did you mention it? Where did you mention it? Did you mention Chen Xingxiu's position?" Ming Yongshou asked Zhu You with a sideways look.
.
"Teacher, didn't you say that the size of an official position has nothing to do with age, but with ability?" Zhu You asked with a smile, his tone did not sound like an emperor of a dynasty, but more like a junior.
"What ability does he have? Without me and Chen Xingxiu, it would be difficult for him to be a minister of Zhongshu." Ming Yongshou replied with his eyes widened.
When the surrounding servants heard this, they couldn't help but think in their hearts, how can there be such an old man in this world? Other people's old men don't know how to praise them even if they want to praise them well. He actually belittled his own son in this way. If he let himself
My son heard this and didn’t know what his reaction would be.
Ming Yongshou looked at Zhu You, and then continued: "I just scolded so many people in this court today, and you turned around and dragged my son up. What do others think when they find out? Those who don't know think that
I, Ming Yongshou, went to court today to seek a good future for his son. Although we have a clear conscience, we should still avoid things that should cause suspicion."
"But we can't delay the development of talents just because he avoids risks. After all, we are still employing people now." Zhu You replied quickly.
"If you really want to employ people, I advise you to go out more often and don't look at the flowers and plants in this palace. We have a lot of gold in Daliang, but what we lack are people who can see gold. I know what my son is capable of.
Take two steps up and you will reach the sky."
Zhu You reacted for a moment, then nodded slightly and whispered: "Student understands."
Ming Yongshou nodded slowly and did not continue.
"Teacher, why are you here today about the "Outline of the Wooden Sutra"?" the young emperor Zhu You continued to ask when Ming Yongshou was silent.
"Well, do you know who discovered the flaws in my "Outline of the Wooden Sutra"?" Ming Yongshou turned to look at the little emperor, with a bit of a smile in his eyes.
"Since you dare to talk to the teacher like this, you must not be from the court. There are not many people in our Daliang court who dare to tell the truth." The little emperor shook his head slowly, and then continued: "Maybe he is a commoner."
"Well, a very ordinary young man." Ming Yongshou nodded, took a few steps forward and continued: "Our Daliang court includes almost all the top picks and second top picks selected by the imperial examinations. These people can be said to be our
The most educated group of people in Daliang,
But the ink of these people is all rotten in their stomachs. This is the most terrifying thing. Just like Tang Qiwei’s sentence, everyone knows it, but no one speaks it. As the emperor, the most important thing you should do now is not to look, but to
Let those who want to say but dare not say it speak out!"
"Does the teacher also know about Tang Qiwei?" The little emperor sighed helplessly.
"He has turned our Daliang court upside down. Can I not know? After Tang Qiwei's incident, do you know how many people came to my house to complain? There are not even one thousand but eight hundred memorials in my family. I can't even figure it out.
Okay, what kind of dignity do these people have to write to me? One is a straight minister who tries his best to tell the truth, and the other
They are mediocre officials who are trying their best to protect their heads. They really think that I, Ming Yongshou, am confused. Can I really help them suppress Chen Xingxiu, Tang Qiwei and others? Let me tell you, I
He is too old to talk anymore, otherwise I would have to chase him to their house and scold him, it would be like he has no brains!"
"Haha!" The little emperor laughed loudly after hearing this.
"How is Tang Qiwei doing now?" Ming Yongshou asked, tilting his head and looking at the little emperor.
"The position is neither high nor low. If it is high, I am afraid that he will lose his original intention. If it is low, I will be afraid that he will lose the heart of those who speak out and give advice. So I was also very embarrassed. In the end, I had to put him in the position where the prince of the country is offering wine.
." The little emperor replied calmly.
"Have you ever thought about it, if you want to listen to these people, it's not enough." Ming Yongshou asked the young emperor Zhu You.
"What does the teacher mean?" The little emperor frowned slightly.
"I think you should stop staying in this palace. It's pointless. You might as well go out and see your great country. You say you have a country, but you don't know what it is. What's the use of it?
?" Ming Yongshou said while looking at the little emperor.
The little emperor froze on the spot.
…
The next day, the young emperor left the palace, accompanied by a senior eunuch, and paid a private visit incognito.
Just as Ming Yongshou said.
The little emperor wants to see this country this time, wants to see this world!
