Chapter 625: The tip of the needle is on the wheat awn

Just after Hong Shanzhang angered Zhang Shou, he even showed no mercy to the fourth prince. While the onlookers were eating melons and watching the show, they were in different moods. When they found out that a group of ministers were recommending lectures and readings in the East Palace, they all agreed tacitly.

Forgetting Chief Hong Shan, they became more confident in their judgment.

But now when the emperor bestowed gold, he left the Hong family behind. I don’t know how many people’s eyes fell to the ground. But before everyone could find out whether Chief Hong Shan really said that he was so glorious in front of the emperor.

When he asked for his resignation, the emperor suddenly changed the subject and said: "I will engrave two more silver seals. One is to be the superintendent of the school, and it is given to Yongping, and the other is to supervise the school and inspect, and it is given to Zhu Ying."

Quite a few people among the people have heard about the women's school. Princess Yongping presides over it and the Hong family assists. Most people think that this arrangement is understandable. But... but what the hell is adding Zhu Ying? Zhu Ying is...

Notoriously difficult to learn!

In the Wenhua Palace where the earth dragon was burning and it was as warm as spring, Zhu Ying, who also came to participate in the sutra banquet today, smiled brightly and brightly, so much so that Princess Deyang next to her even felt that spring had arrived. As for others,

The eldest daughter and the daughters of various families were very sorry that Princess Yongping was not here. Otherwise, they could probably see Princess Yongping's attitude towards Zhu Ying's interference.

But after the emperor suddenly made such a digression, he asked again: "Who else would you recommend?"

Although there were a large number of people attending the Wenhua Palace Sutra Banquet, the people who had just been recommended were seen by everyone, and they were all like mirrors in their hearts. The dozen or so candidates recommended by the recommended bosses were exactly what this article said.

There were those who performed outstandingly in the lectures at the Huadian Jingyan. Of course, there was a certain young man who performed most outstandingly on the first day, and even had a heated debate with the Confucian scholar who was actually the first assistant. I won’t mention it here.

Of course, the most important thing is that the big bosses who make recommendations are all above the fourth grade!

However, when the remaining people were wondering whether it was worth taking the risk and recommending someone close to them, Zhang Shou suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I recommend Mr. Liu Zhiyuan, the former minister of the Ministry of War."

In an instant, the huge Wenhua Hall fell silent. While others were still hesitating whether to break the obvious tacit understanding of rank just now, Zhang Shou's sudden speech was earth-shattering. Firstly, it was because Zhang Shou broke through the previous recommendations.

Secondly, of course, it was also because Liu Zhiyuan, recommended by Zhang Shou, had a much higher grade than Donggong Lecturer before he became an official.

Even the third prince showed a visibly surprised expression, not to mention the fourth prince. Everyone could see his incomprehension from his wide-eyed expression.

Some people even easily read a sentence from the expressions of the two brothers - Teacher, why didn't you tell me earlier?

Of course, the person who read such a sentence was none other than Miss Zhu. She raised her eyebrows in confusion, and then she felt that Princess Deyang beside her seemed to touch her lightly with her hand, and someone heard something in her ears.

A voice like the chirping of a mosquito: "Yingying, don't you know?"

"What do you know? Ah Shou didn't tell me at all! Mr. Liu is my eldest brother's teacher. If he had told me earlier, I would have recommended him to the emperor and the queen mother... Otherwise, I would have told the third and fourth princes more

You can just blow some air!" Zhu Ying twirled her fingers in annoyance, and then said with dissatisfaction, "If he had told me earlier, dad could have recommended it!"

Lu Sanlang had been asked to talk to Zhang Shou about this matter a long time ago, but no results had been seen. Zhu Tingfang originally thought that Zhang Shou had tried but failed, or that Zhang Shou was afraid of the difficulty and planned to prevaricate it. At this time, the person he saw was actually here.

He openly recommended his teacher at the Wenhua Hall Sutra Banquet. His eyes flashed, but the next moment, he felt his arm being pinched hard.

There is no doubt who else but his father?

He seemed not to notice the pain caused by the huge force, and raised his eyebrows as if nothing had happened, but did not say the words that came to his lips. Although he wanted to go out and echo, he knew that standing up on his own would only have the opposite effect. Sure enough,

, he immediately heard an objection: "Do you know, Bachelor Zhang, that the teacher you recommended is your uncle Zhu Tingfang's teacher?"

"Don't you hear that you don't avoid relatives when doing things internally, and you don't avoid enemies when doing things externally? What's more, I'm not married yet." Zhang Shou smiled and asked the Confucian scholar, and then said in an extremely natural tone, "

Mr. Liu is upright and resolute, and he is a former Huiyuan, not to mention his writing and knowledge. Of course, after all, he was once the minister of the Ministry of War and gave lectures to the East Palace. I am afraid he is condescending."

"But based on my understanding of Mr. Liu, he only cares about doing things and not about fame and position. If it is something that is beneficial to the world, even if tens of thousands of people come to do it, I will never try to flatter others or seek fame."

At this moment, Zhang Shou took out the words that Chief Hong Shan had just criticized him for, which immediately caused an uproar.

The emperor, who also didn't expect this, tugged at the few beards he had grown thoughtfully. At the same time, he was surprised, but he also felt that he admired it. There was no way, the maverick emperor faced the maverick

Young people will naturally feel close to you.

Of course, if Zhang Shou had not been related for a long time, if he was not Zhu Ying's fiance, if he was not really capable, he would not be so easy to talk to. The emperor's tolerance and magnanimity depended on the person! So, the emperor said slowly: "Liu

Your Majesty is indeed a rare talent. I originally wanted him to take up another position, but he told me that he does not want to be an official again because of his old age, but only wants to be clear in his heart."

"So, he actually got together with Lu Qing and visited the public school all day long, which shows that he has a heart for students. I didn't expect it, but I have to commend him for his ambition. He teaches Saburo, he is indeed

It's appropriate. However, Zhang Jiuzhang, you said that he doesn't seek fame and status, but I have to treat him with courtesy. Otherwise, if the word spreads, wouldn't I be less respectful than Sanlang and Shilang?"

To everyone, these words were simply the best counterattack against Chief Hong Shan’s attack on the third prince’s blind respect for his master. However, the emperor had not yet entered the palace before, so he probably did not hear what Chief Hong Shan said. Everyone could only be suspicious, and by the way,

Hong Shan, whose expression was changing at this moment, shed tears of sympathy.

Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion that Liu Zhiyuan would come to the East Palace to give lectures, and that the emperor would probably respect his rank, Academician Kong knew that he could not stop him, so he simply rushed out of the queue before the emperor decided on Liu Zhiyuan's rank, and took it out without hesitation.

A long-awaited trump card these days.

"The lectures in the East Palace are related to the future of the prince and the future of the world. Each minister has the responsibility to recommend. As a king and father, the emperor should choose carefully and calmly. This is the right principle. However, the East Palace will be canonized tomorrow. The Ciqing Palace has been fully furnished, but I

I’m unhappy if I don’t say anything!”

Speaking of this, the Confucian scholar directly lifted up the hem of his robe, and paid homage with a rare ceremony on such an occasion: "I am a cabinet minister, and I am begging the Holy One today. I will accompany you at Ciqing Palace. I shouldn't."

Then select palace servants who are proficient in writing to prevent anyone from relying on what they have learned to deceive people's hearts! Where filial piety comes, there must be loyalty. This is the law of nature and human relations!"

As soon as he said this, twenty or thirty literary nobles rushed out of the huge Wenhua Palace, and they all shouted in agreement.

Faced with this situation, many courtiers, nobles, and even many officials' sons and daughters from famous families couldn't help but agree with it after being shocked.

Since the Han Dynasty, most dynasties have not governed the world with filial piety? Isn't it because of filial piety that there is loyalty?

A negative example is that, except for the Meng Yuan Dynasty, which actually had its roots in the Yuan Dynasty since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, where brothers and fathers were at war with each other since the founding of the country, even though they were prosperous for a while, because Taizong Li Shimin made a bad start, even the Tang Dynasty

Generation after generation of descendants came one after another to engage in the business of forcing their sons to force their fathers, so in the middle and late stages, the princes were almost all trash raised in the houses of the ten kings.

Of course, there is a relationship between eunuchs being reused and eunuchs being abolished in the end, but it’s not that the emperors were all afraid that their sons would be too heroic, so they gave birth to Li Shimin, then Li Chongjun, then Li Longji, and so

After Li Heng was born, is that why you would rather raise your sons to be useless than give them the chance to seize the father's power?

With the messy lessons from the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the word filial piety was raised to the highest level. In this dynasty, even if it is a messy Jingnan, anyway, it comes two times at a time.

Three times, but at least there has never been a tragedy of forcing a son to force his father. What is remarkable is that the vassal king was dissatisfied with the new king of the central government, so he rose up and took over the country in an instant.

Therefore, when seeing the Grand Scholar Confucius kneeling down with such a large number of people to express their feelings, everyone realized that the Grand Scholar Confucius was a real and unknown person, not the chief minister, in order to cut off those who were not only knowledgeable but also judged by the chief minister.

It can even be said that he has read the classics and history thoroughly, but only the servants who violated filial piety entered the East Palace. And the reason is even more obvious, because the prince must be loyal and filial!

So, one person quietly came out of the queue and knelt on the ground, but he used silence as a second opinion. When dozens of people finally knelt in the hall, Zhang Shou, who was watching with cold eyes, discovered that Zhu Ying, who was sitting among the daughters of aristocratic families,

He suddenly stood up.

He had always been wary of Chu Kuan and had no intention of standing up to defend the Chief of Ceremonies, so he was somewhat puzzled by Zhu Ying's actions. However, after Zhu Ying glanced at him, she smiled brightly and then calmly appeared there.

Next to the people kneeling on the ground, there was someone calmly bowing.

"Your Majesty, so many important ministers in the court have reminded Ciqing Palace not to keep illiterate palace attendants, otherwise it will be easy to confuse people's hearts. Who are they worried about bewitching? Why not say clearly that they are worried about someone bewitching Ciqing Palace in the future.

Just the master!"

No one expected Zhu Ying to come out suddenly. Just like Zhang Shou, her fiancé who was closest to her, Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, as father and brother, were equally shocked. What on earth did Zhu Ying want to say?

"But when the third prince was not the prince, were all the people in the palace around him illiterate and ignorant? Could it be that when he was still young, he was not deceived by others, and now that he is getting older,

When you gradually become calm and canonize the crown prince, will you be misled by the temporary slander?"

"A woman's opinion! Did even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty betray his father and his master from the very beginning?"

Scholar Confucius was in a state of panic, and immediately turned pale after blurting out the words. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty betrayed his father, and Taizu of the Song Dynasty betrayed his master. This is something that everyone knows, but in history books, even later dynasties often use a few words to comment on previous dynasties.

The writing style of Spring and Autumn Period was taboo for these two wise kings. If he said it at this time, wouldn't it mean that he suspected that the third prince would disobey his father under the influence of others?

How could he be so easily bypassed by Zhu Ying!

If it were someone else who was making trouble at this moment, then the scholar Confucius would definitely be caught for his slip of the tongue, and then be chased and beaten for a while. But Zhu Ying stood up at this time, and she was not just arresting people for talking about it. When she saw the third prince,

Staring at herself with bright black eyes, which seemed to sparkle with some unexplainable emotion, she smiled slightly at the little guy she had grown up watching.

"Whenever a scholar with a lot of money in his family keeps a scholar by his side, he still needs to be able to read and write. When he enters school and gains fame, he often wants to have a red sleeve to add to his beauty, and it is best for the red sleeve to know how to chant.

The brothel lines in poems and poems have the emotional appeal. But when you become an official, you will talk and laugh with famous scholars, and there will be no white men around you. Even the concierge around you has to learn a few sentences."

"Those who can appear at this banquet in the Wenhua Hall today are either well-educated Confucian scholars or high-ranking officials. Everyone wants to boast about their poetry and calligraphy. Who dares to be like me, Zhu Ying, and say that I have not loved it since I was a child?

Studying? Ask yourselves, who can tolerate being surrounded by vulgar servants who are illiterate and illiterate? Who can recite a poem willingly but no one can understand it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shou finally got a taste of it. He originally thought that Zhu Ying was temporarily dissatisfied with the director of ceremonies, but now it is clear that the eldest lady and Chu Kuan have no friendship, so how can they have such free time?

He was simply complaining for the third prince! He was also confused. He was just weighing the hostility between civil servants and eunuchs, but he didn't think about what the request of the great scholar Confucius to draw the bottom of the fire meant to the third prince!

Doesn't this mean that in the default position, people are treated as soft-eared children who are easily deceived by others?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou did not hesitate anymore. He glanced around him and saw that the crowd of Hanlin people who were originally crowded in the hall were empty because everyone had just rushed out to second the Confucian scholar, so he walked out calmly.

"Your Majesty, just as Miss Zhu said just now, the Crown Prince of the East Palace is so precious. We don't choose the best among the best, but select people who are well-educated and well-educated in poetry and literature as attendants. Instead, we have to be surrounded by vulgar people. He is not as good as the scholarly son of a wealthy family.

How can this be true for a child of a young family? If the Confucian scholar is worried because of the previous rumors, then I have just thought of a way."

Scholar Confucius and a large group of people suddenly seemed to be forcing the palace, and proposed that all the servants and servants employed in Ciqing Palace should be illiterate. The emperor was really shocked and angry just now, but Zhu Ying's statement was like dry summer weather.

A glass of ice water after he was thirsty suddenly quenched his thirst and made him feel extremely comfortable. After all, he had not hurt this girl in vain, and Saburo had not called Yingying sister for so many years in vain!

Therefore, seeing Zhang Shou also stand up, he immediately asked: "Zhang Jiuzhang, please give me a try."

Zhang Shou did not even look at the large number of officials who were glaring at him at this moment, and said calmly: "The emperor has appointed a lot of attendants in the East Palace before. Now why not select suitable disciples among civil and military officials to prepare for the position of attendants in the East Palace?"
