Xie Qian glanced at Xu Qian, as if he wanted to see through Xu Qian's little thoughts. Then he smiled, put his hand on the desk, and said word by word: "I also know what you are thinking. You are from a poor family.
Criticized, so there are a lot of right and wrong in your body. You have joined my family, firstly because you want to learn the classics and meanings, and you may want to take advantage of it. Not long ago, you made a big fuss in Hangzhou.
Isn’t it the power of being a teacher?”
Xie Qian answered the wrong question, which put a lot of pressure on Xu Qian. In fact, he had always felt that it was better for teachers and students to talk more about feelings and less about interests, otherwise it would be too vulgar. It was a pity that Xie Qian didn't think so. He sighed.
He continued: "There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of circumstances. I have always been good at eloquence. In fact, the art of eloquence also emphasizes taking advantage of circumstances. Use the past to describe the present. How can you convince others without bringing out the ancient sages? I used to
People often use sages to gain approval from others. The same goes for you. It’s not a bad thing if a person is good at using others to enhance himself.”
Xu Qian was stunned. He didn't expect that he could be praised like this. But then he was relieved. Who is Xie Qian? He has decades of experience in officialdom, fighting with heaven and earth and fighting with people for decades, so he is extremely shrewd.
He is his disciple, why do he still talk about benevolence, justice and morality every day? In a sense, Xie Qian and the old man are both the same people. The old man is a good man in the market, and Xie Qian is a good man in the officialdom.
This kind of person, especially in front of Xu Qian, would not say empty words.
Xie Qian added: "It's just that the new king has ascended the throne, and everyone in the government and the public is in danger. Some are looking for a way out, some are consolidating their power, and everyone is planning. Of course, you can get benefits by using my name. At the same time,
At the same time, I am afraid that this bad luck will follow. You told me last time that His Majesty was dissatisfied with the cabinet, and I still have hope of rejoining the cabinet. It is rare for you to think so far-reaching at such a young age.
But don’t forget..." Xie Qian said in an almost joking tone: "If you were a member of the cabinet, would you be willing to let me resurrect? After all, I am an old minister. Although he is old, he still has some reputation.
, if I join the cabinet, how will the current cabinet ministers deal with themselves? Of course they... will not have any evil thoughts towards me. Although I am a wandering cloud and wild crane, I will not let others bully me, but you are my disciple, and
It has been announced with great fanfare, think about it, what will your situation be like?"
Xie Qian's words were like thunder, exploding in Xu Qian's mind. He suddenly realized that he was using Xie Qian's name to promote himself everywhere. It seemed very arrogant, but in fact it was a crisis.
is approaching.
The cabinet ministers will not give in, and will definitely try their best to prevent Xie Qian from entering the cabinet. They dare not do anything rashly against Xie Qian, but they are Xie Qian's disciples, who will they deal with if they don't deal with him?
"Teacher, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xu Qian smiled bitterly.
Xie Qian smiled slightly and said: "I said it too early, and you may not have paid attention. Only when you suffer a loss will you know the pain. Besides, there is nothing wrong with this. I live in Hangzhou and have nothing to do with the world. You volunteered to be a shield, which is just right.
Let me also see who are my enemies and what methods these enemies will use. You are my disciple. As a disciple, you naturally share weal and woe. Isn't it a matter of course for me to share my worries and protect my teacher? Master?
You are like your father, if your father is remembered by others, how can you remain indifferent?"
"How shameless!" Xu Qian scolded in his heart. He originally thought that even if Xie Qian was not a good person, he should have some character, and even if he was scheming, he should have some integrity. Who knew that his disciples were so pink and cute?
Never let go. Using himself as a shield, he hid behind his back and leisurely distinguished friends from enemies. What this master did was really impressive.
But it's no wonder who came. At that time, he was crying and asking to become a disciple. Who knew that someone had already dug a hole for him to jump into. Xu Qian felt extremely sad and could only secretly comfort himself: "The difficulties are only now, the future will still be there."
It’s very beautiful. As long as you get through it, your mentor will join the cabinet in the future..."
Xie Qian's face became solemn again, and he said seriously: "As for the academic official you just mentioned, his name is Gui E, right? He was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Zhengde. I had met him at that time. This person is quite famous.
Talent, but it's a pity... his official career has been unsatisfactory. After that, he was only a part-time job in the Nanjing Ministry of War. He was a second-class Jinshi, and there were no major omissions in his usual tenure. Logically speaking, he was in his promising years.
, he should not have been transferred to Nanjing."
Xu Qian said: "Students also heard that he has a brother in the Imperial Academy. This is even more strange. The brother has risen to prominence, but he is so downcast. He has a clean resume and connections. He has served as a local official and has achieved political achievements. Who?
I know that I stayed in Nanjing for six years."
Xie Qian smiled slightly and said: "When something is abnormal, it is a monster. I think this person is very extraordinary. Gui E... Gui E... this person seems to be an interesting person."
Xu Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, what's the use of being interesting? This guy is not retiring in Nanjing honestly, and suddenly he comes here to study, but he doesn't know what his intention is. Yes, Guihe...
Xu Qian suddenly remembered something important. This person was indeed a famous figure and had left his name in history. Xu Qian worked in a museum in his previous life, so he was somewhat involved in history. He had only a vague impression before. Suddenly he heard Xie
When Qian said the word "interesting", Xu Qian suddenly realized that this person was actually quite interesting.
What he was originally worried about was that this person was from the cabinet. The cabinet was wary of Xie Qian, so he wanted to take the opportunity to beat him up. However, Gui E was a lackey of the cabinet. Naturally, he did not have the courage to attack Xie Qian, so he finally set his sights on it.
To himself. Now that he remembered some of this person's deeds, Xu Qian suddenly realized that this Gui E was the real ruthless character hidden in the government and the public.
As expected, as the teacher expected, the new king ascended the throne, and all the demons, ghosts, ghosts, and gods came to take action.
He felt a little more relieved and couldn't help but said to Xie Qian: "Teacher, what should the student do next? If someone really wants to use the student to beat the teacher, the teacher will not go to death without saving him, right?"
For an old fox like Xie Qian, Xu Qian felt that his IQ was not good enough. He originally thought that he had dug a hole and cheated Xie Qian, but when he thought about it afterwards, he realized that he had dug the hole earlier than himself.
He longs for someone to let him take the blame. So he can only use his trump card-acting cute and acting rogue. After all, he is your disciple, how can you remain indifferent?
Xie Qian breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and said: "Since I have accepted your entrance wall, I naturally know that you are not a mortal, and I have confidence in you as a teacher."
Shameless...
Xu Qian usually doesn't like to curse, but now he really can't help it. Do you have confidence? It's all broken. What's the use of confidence? Can it be eaten?
Seeing a hint of anger on Xu Qian's face, Xie Qian smiled, finally showing some humanity, and said: "Don't worry, you are my disciple. No matter how bad I am, I will not let you be left alone."
Bullying." He narrowed his eyes and said inscrutably: "You still need to hone your articles. The road test is coming soon. You should focus more on reading. Reading is the foundation. As for the other things, they are just passing clouds and memories.
Just follow my words and go down."
Xu Qian stood up to say goodbye and came out of Xie's Mansion. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about Ti's coming to learn from Gui E. Why did this guy named Gui suddenly come to cause trouble for me? And...he suddenly took office as Ti.
It seems like a deliberate arrangement to become an academic officer, but what is his intention when he comes here to study? This person has a bumpy career. He must not be a member of the cabinet, otherwise he would not be so disgraced under Yang Tinghe and others.
, then who is behind him?
Xu Qian suddenly realized that this exam... was actually inseparable from politics. The high-ranking bosses were planning the layout at the juncture of the transition between the old and the new, but they were also affecting his exam career at all times.
"Hey... I'm afraid the person named Gui is the key to my Taoist test. But what exactly this person has in mind is really hard to guess." Xu Qian shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
