"Zhou Wenwen, have you personally notified these people in charge?" After Si Ying left, Inspector Yang called Zhou Wenwen over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Wenshu nodded and said, "I have run around in the past two days, and I have already told them that I will come over when I came to you for a meeting today. ”

"What is their attitude towards the meritocracy clause?" Governor Yang continued to ask.

"I tried to probe their tone, Needless to say, Superintendent Jiang naturally agreed, Jin Xuezheng said at the time, there are already dormitory students, why do you need to be special, Supervisor Ma asked how much it will cost and how to calculate the treatment, and the gentlemen didn't say anything, only said that they had to see the talent first." Zhou Wenwen said.

Yang Xuedu smiled: "There is no reason to say that this clause is going to be passed, they feel that it is normal all of a sudden." ”

Zhou Wenwen sighed and said: "Why did Emperor Zheng set up such a vote back then, which yamen is not the chief official alone." I haven't voted for a girl since I entered the school, and I heard that the last time I voted was when the old school governor was, how many years have passed. ”

"Is there any way, the women's school was created by Empress Zheng and her old man, and the rules are naturally as she likes, I remember that Emperor Zheng's original words were to 'mobilize all the staff to give advice and enthusiasm for the Taiping Academy', this so-called ...... That one...... Oh, yes, this is called 'democracy'. Governor Yang said with a smile.

"However, Superintendent, if you want to pass, you have to vote on all the female students, so you can call these principals, even if they all agree, each person will have one vote, and there is still no guarantee that they will pass." Zhou Shushu didn't understand why he had to gather the directors before the plenary meeting.

Yang Xuedu didn't have any scruples about speaking to his henchmen, and sneered: "You don't understand this, the most important thing about voting is to look at the attitude of these few weighty people, and others are just following suit." What 'enthusiasm', what 'democracy', when the people can call the shots, it's just a game of chess, to see who plays well. You have to remember that in this world, most people don't have any idea at all, they just follow the crowd and see what others say, who has more momentum, and they will fall to whichever side they want. The trouble is that it is troublesome, and if you use it well, you can bet on other people's mouths. ”

Zhou Wenwen praised: "You are still the school inspector, you are smart." ”

"It was also taught by the old superintendent." Yang Xuedu smiled bitterly: "Of course I envy the chief officials of other yamen, but as long as I can control it, even if I can vote as I want, if I can't control it, even if it is a court with a clear distinction between dignity and inferiority, the prime minister above 10,000 people will still be disobeyed by the people below." Yang Xuedu realized that he had said a little too much, so he stopped talking and instructed Zhou Wenwen: "You go and prepare well, don't let them pick on it." ”

Zhou Wen replied "yes" and retreated.

After noon, the directors of the female school, as well as a few of their own gentlemen, arrived at Yang Xuedu's official hall one after another. Today, these people recruited by Yang Xuedu have a great influence in the Taiping Academy, and their attitudes basically determine the attitudes of most of the female students. Needless to say, Dr. Pei is a well-known Confucian in Shilin, an official of the Wupin Imperial Court, usually responsible for teaching students, and his identity is very detached in women's studies.

Mr. Su and Mr. Song, both from a scholarly family, their father is a famous Confucian, the court heard that their knowledge and virtue were appointed, they even have to enter the palace every year to give lectures for the concubines, and come to the women's school to teach with the purpose of "educating the women of the world", and do not seek to be able to make a fortune in the promotion of women's schools, etc., they are very principled people, they attach the most importance to reputation, and they do not disdain the interpersonal communication of officialdom, if they do not approve, they will never agree to break the previous rules.

“…… Actually, I have long wanted to set up such a special talent clause, our Taiping Academy has cultivated a lot of talents over the years, but there are not many who can really stay and do things for the Academy. Yang Xuedu said, she is indeed one of the problems faced by the Taiping Academy, there are many excellent girls in those dormitory students, but after all, this identity is inferior in the eyes of the world, but if there are some capable, they have already found a way to repay the money of the female school, find their own good way out, and can stay, but Zhongping is the capital, Yang Xuedu sighs for the loss of outstanding students, but she said so much is mainly to set a tone for this discussion.

Mr. Song frowned and said, "We also understand the Governor's worries, but after all, this is something without precedent, and the key is to see whether this student's talent is worth it for the Academy Palace to make an exception for her." ”

Yang Xuedu smiled: "I also mean this, so I asked everyone to check first, this student has been here since Mengxue, and his grades in the school palace have been very good all these years, this is her homework at home, I read it with Dr. Pei, and I think it is still very talented, you can also take a look." Yang Xuedu instructed Zhou Wenshu to distribute the article sent by the Empress Dowager Cihui that day, she did not mention the Empress Dowager, but specifically mentioned Dr. Pei, unlike the culture of the Guozijian literati, Mr. Song and Mr. Su have special respect for Mr. Pei, a male Confucian, and it is inevitable that women will intrigue and play careful thoughts, but they are particularly tolerant of the few men in the school palace without exception. They may not buy the Queen Mother's account, but they will save face for Dr. Pei.

Mr. Su browsed the article in his hand and said with a smile: "It's really good, I wrote such an article at such a young age, since Dr. Pei thinks it's okay, I also think it's okay to ......."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone said: "Although the article is good, there is not only such a talented woman in our school, and if you set a separate clause for her, then others will feel unfair." Besides, there is a saying that 'when you are young, big may not be good', and although she is talented now, who can guarantee that she will be so good in a few years? Make an exception for her today, and make an exception for another tomorrow, what are the rules of our Taiping School Palace at that time? The voice of the speaker is not hurried, with a bit of Luoyang accent, this is Jin Xuezheng, who is in charge of student affairs.

Jin Xuezheng is also a female student, and Mother Jin, who is next to the Empress Dowager Chongyou, is a distant cousin, and she has not come out of five suits. She also relied on this relationship to catch up with the Queen Mother Chongyou, and she has some power in the women's school. Before, the Empress Dowager Chongyou was looking for her to understand Si Ying's situation. She remembered the tone of the Empress Dowager Chongyou when she talked about it: "It's just the daughter of a criminal minister, my sister-in-law has made such a big move......" The Empress Dowager Chongyou's words were still in her ears, she didn't plan to obey Yang Xuedu's orders, but wanted to see Yang Xuedu deflated.

As soon as she said this, Mr. Song's originally relieved expression became solemn again, and he glanced at Inspector Yang again, hesitated and did not speak.

Yang Xuedu glanced at Jin Xuezheng and said with a smile: "But Gu Siying is the most special among these children. She is not our boarding student, and her family is in Chang'an, Xuezheng is certainly reasonable, but if you want to retain talents, you still have to take some risks in Xueli. Moreover, she has also been valued by the Empress Dowager, if she can be left to cultivate carefully, she will not live up to the Empress Dowager's kindness to our Taiping Academy. She simply made this relationship clear and saw how Jin Xuezheng responded.

Jin Xuezheng smiled: "Even if the Queen Mother likes this child, there is no need to break the rules for her, just let her be a boarding student, if she is really promising in the future, it will not be promoted and reused, and it will also be the glory of our Taiping Academy." ”

"Although this child is the daughter of a criminal minister, his father was only dismissed from his post and is still a scholar, and his uncle-in-law is still an official of the Qipin Imperial Court, and there is no precedent for accepting a girl from such a background as a dormitory student. Yang Xuedu had already thought of a rebuttal, so it was naturally impossible for Jin Xuezheng to seize the loophole. Moreover, what she said is indeed the truth, the status of the Gu clan of Wu County is not high or low in this era of fancy the family, and it is not low to say that it is low, Gu Siying's father Gu He was born in the imperial examination, and he was a writer Zuolang, this position is also extremely noble, he has been exempted from the official, but the identity of the literati has not been exempted, and the status of the Gu family is the surname of Wu County has not changed, turning a girl from such a background into a low-class dormitory student, even if people are afraid of the rebellion now, Yu Lie does not say anything, but it will also cause dissatisfaction among some scholars, If someone makes a fuss about this matter in the future, it will be another trouble for the Taiping Academy.

As soon as he said this, even Dr. Pei, who had not spoken, stroked his beard and sighed: "Hey, after all, she is also a girl from the family......" Although he has no friendship with Gu He, but the same background and literati status make him have a natural sympathy for this girl, and others also look at me and I look at you, and they don't speak.

Jin Xuezheng knows that he may not be able to gain the upper hand in the fight with the school governor now, after all, there is no sufficient reason, everyone will not clash with the school governor head-on, not to mention that this girl named Gu Siying has nothing to do with anyone, there is no more than her, and there is no less than her. I think there are a few days left before the all-hands meeting, and we can observe how this kid is doing. By then, everyone will be here, and we'll see what everyone means. ”

Yang Xuedu nodded and said, "That's it, let's get here today." Everyone, please come back first. ”

Everyone stood up and saluted Yang Xuedu, and exited the official hall of the school governor one after another, talking about today's affairs and Gu Siying's girl in a whisper, they had all heard some rumors, but they didn't expect that the fate of this girl on the cusp of the storm would be decided by them.

Jiang Xuejian stayed behind under the pretext, and when there was no one, he followed Yang Xuedu to the back room and said: "It seems that Jin Xuezhi is iron-hearted to oppose it, could it be that the Empress Dowager Chongyou means?" ”

"The Empress Dowager Chongyou will not directly confront the Empress Dowager Cihui at this time, but ......" Yang Xuedu knew that if the Empress Dowager Chongyou clearly objected, then Jin Xuezheng would never have this little battle today, but this thing would not be successful, adding a little blockage to the Empress Dowager Cihui, and she would also be happy to see it happen, and Yang Xuedu swallowed back the second half of the sentence.

Jiang Xuejian took over the conversation without a trace: "It's just that if everyone thinks that is what the Empress Dowager Chongyou means, then it will be ...... Besides, she is still in charge of the students, and those fasting elders usually have to look at her eyes to do things, I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome......"

"The Empress Dowager Cihui is the biological mother of His Majesty today." Yang Xuedu sneered, thought about it again, and asked, "Who is the chief of the Maoxue Belt Jiazhai?" ”

"Peng Nianru, it turned out to be a boarding student of the women's school, after staying, the previous few years taught Mengxue, at the beginning of this year, Maoxue Jiazhai's Zhai chief left his job to marry, Jin Xuezheng took a fancy to her, personally came to me to transfer her to Maoxue, and raised her up as Maoxue's Zhai chief...... "Jiang Xue supervises personnel, but the person who is favored by the head of the department, she usually does not stop, and she didn't say anything, Jiazhai is the best in Maoxue, and the student's background is generally higher, she has never been in Maoxue before, so she brought Jiazhai, It should be Kim Hak-jeong's arrangement. I am afraid it will be difficult for her to say good things for Si Ying at the conference.

Yang Xuedu naturally understood without saying it, she pondered for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "Well, by the way, who are the gentlemen who have taught that child all these years?" ”
