Publishing a collection of poems or something has neither merit nor reputation, but he has to publish a book and a biography. Cui Weizhen, as a reserved scholar, really does not have such shamelessness.
Ye Zhenzhen had no such awareness.
In her opinion, publishing a book or something is too simple. In later generations, people would publish books casually. As long as they could get a number, they could spend money to publish a book. Now, since they are doing some promotion that is beneficial to the country, publishing a book is not a problem.
What happened to a book of poetry?
So she tried her best to lobby: "Why are you embarrassed? Your Majesty asked all places to learn from the internship experience of Luming Academy. If there is no collection of poems and your experience introduction, how can everyone learn? You can't let everyone lose the opportunity to learn just because of a moment of hesitation.
Chance."
Cui Weizhen: "..."
There is indeed some truth to this. Cui Weizhen was in a dilemma and hesitated for a while.
His attitude was very interesting at first glance. Ye Zhenzhen immediately stepped up her lobbying efforts. Although Cui Weizhen was very principled, but in this situation where his position was not very firm, he was ultimately defeated by Ye Zhenzhen's smooth tongue.
Down.
"That's all, I agree." Cui Weizhen coughed lightly: "I will write down the relevant experience, but it is up to you to negotiate with Mr. Dai Shan."
After all, he was still a little embarrassed.
Ye Zhenzhen chuckled and nodded: "Don't worry, publishing a collection of poems is a win-win situation. Chief Dai Shanzhen will definitely not refuse."
Although Dai Shanchang is indifferent to fame and fortune, his intentions in running a school are real. After Cui Weizhen took office in Mingzhou Prefecture, he took the initiative to have good relations with him. Now he is using various channels to help students grow up so that they can teach them how to succeed in the future.
Will try to get a good ranking.
Publishing a collection of poems is undoubtedly a good way to quickly become famous.
Literati these days like to give books to each other. As long as they jointly publish a collection of poems and promote it, students from Mingzhou Prefecture will naturally catch the attention of others. This method is much more efficient than searching for a needle in a haystack.
Presumably the students in the academy also know the pros and cons, and they can only take this matter seriously and there is absolutely no reason to be perfunctory.
Although he had made up his mind, he still had to discuss the details with Chief Dai Shan. However, before Ye Zhenzhen left the house, an unexpected visitor came to Cui Mansion.
The maid prepared refreshments and Ye Zhenzhen warmly entertained the guests. When faced with Confucius Xuezheng's serious and old-fashioned face, she tried her best to control herself from showing any strange expression.
Yes, Kong Xuezheng paid another visit.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Kong Xuezheng also noticed it, and quickly concealed the discomfort on his face by drinking tea. However, avoiding the problem would not solve the problem. Thinking of the purpose of this trip, he still bravely spoke: "Master Magistrate, what Kong saw the day before yesterday
I'm short-sighted, and my words are meaningless. I offended you, sir. I'm here today to apologize."
As he spoke, he stood up and apologized to Cui Weizhen.
Cui Weizhen never dared to accept his courtesy and avoided his body: "Confucius is right in saying that gentlemen are harmonious but different. It's just a disagreement. I don't take it to heart. Confucius doesn't need to worry about it."
Probably because he had already spoken, Kong Xuezheng's expression became much more natural: "The prefect is tolerant and modest, and does not care about Kong's offense. Today I found out that the prefect's good intentions are due to Kong's narrow-mindedness. You and your wife's internship
This method is a great good thing that will benefit the present and benefit the future. I am sure the magistrate and madam will not remember the faults of small people and forgive them."
Ye Zhenzhen and Cui Weizhen were both surprised.
Unexpectedly, Kong Xuezheng looked serious and old-fashioned. He maintained Confucian etiquette and majesty all day long, but when someone made a mistake, he was not ambiguous at all. He could take it up and put it down, which made people admire him with admiration.
Cui Weizhen sighed in his heart. He didn't know how Confucius and Xuezheng were connected. It probably had something to do with the new imperial newspaper published by the imperial court. After all, Kong Xuezheng had always supported orthodoxy. Since His Majesty also supported this method, his opposition was naturally not strong.
As for what prompted him to stand here and apologize...
Cui Weizhen probably had a guess, but he pretended not to know: "It's a good thing that Kong Xuezheng can figure it out. The autumn harvest is not over yet, and there are still many chores in various places that need help. I wonder if students from Fu Xue can follow the example of students from Luming College and go out.
practice?"
Kong Xuezheng's face turned red, and he looked at Magistrate Cui with a guilty conscience and a bit of joy. However, although Magistrate Cui was young, he was very good at cultivating qi, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression.
But Kong Xuezheng always had the illusion that someone was reading his mind - it was true that he came to apologize today, and it was true that he wanted to fight for opportunities for the students of the Fu Xue School.
Before he could think of words, Magistrate Cui took the initiative to bring up the unmentionable topic for him. He was very grateful: "Thanks to the magistrate, even though Kong's students are stupid, they can still help. If the governor
If the government is in need, just rely on dispatch."
The smile on Cui Weizhen's face became more sincere: "The government office is short of manpower. Kong Xuezheng came just in time. I would like to thank Kong Xuezheng for his profound righteousness on behalf of the people of the state."
There was no ridicule or making things difficult. The problem he was concerned about was solved so easily. Kong Xuezheng felt extremely comfortable and had a deeper understanding of this famous young prefect.
His face became softer and softer, and his sense of the Cui family became much better.
The two parties had a detailed discussion on the specific content and direction of the internship. After it was completely finalized, Kong Xuezheng stood up and left.
This time Cui Weizhen personally escorted him out of the second door. When he came back, he received a confused look from his wife.
"It's strange, isn't it said that people who are different cannot work together, so why are you so attentive to Kong Xuezheng?"
Cui Weizhen laughed. Zhen'er's temperament is too upright, black and white, and it is easy to suffer losses. You don't need to be calculating and calculating with others, otherwise you will suffer too much.
"Since it's a free favor, why don't you accept it?"
Although Cui Weizhen has the nobility of a scholar, he also has the shrewdness of a politician. He was afraid that his wife would not understand, so he explained it in detail: "As a descendant of Kong Shengren, Kong Xuezheng enjoys high prestige among officials, and his personal connections are even more complicated.
, it’s okay if I can’t establish a relationship with him. Now that I have the opportunity, I will naturally seize it. With him mediating, I can save a lot of my reputation.”
Don’t forget, his new law offended many people among the officials. If news spread that Kong Shu was on good terms with him, the middle-aged officials would more or less change their views on him, although they would not change their political views.
But at least there won’t be any invasive impeachment targets.
Even if it makes him clean up, it's enough.
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly realized that this was indeed good news with no harm at all.
