Chapter Forty-Eight: The Difficulty of the Cold Door (Part 1)

At this moment, Chen Shengzhi suddenly remembered Zhang Yue, who said goodbye to him that day.

Thinking of this, Chen Shengzhi couldn't help but stand up, and Li Xuezheng also got up immediately.

Chen Shengzhi laughed and groaned: "The sage and impermanence teacher, with a childlike heart, always wipes diligently, everything can be learned." The old man remembered this. ”

Li Xuezheng lowered his head, not knowing what Chen Shengzhi meant by this.

Chen Shengzhi was thinking exactly what Zhang Yue said to him when he left.

"When the old man saw him, this son said that he was a teacher of Meng, and the old man would be suspicious, but today I saw this three-character poem and I understood a little. Li Xuezheng, you have to tell the old man that any thirteen-year-old child can write these three-character poems, and the old man categorically doesn't believe it, but this son believes in those two or three points. ”

Xuezheng said: "The lower officials don't understand, and ask Chen Gong to make it clear." ”

Chen Shengzhi: "When he met the old man at that time, he said that the learning of a sage lies in doing something, and the learning of Mencius lies in not doing something. Do you say that a child who is idle can say such a thing? ”

Xuezheng gasped, the other party really has such knowledge, this is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

Chen Shengzhi: "The old man thought that he came from hearsay at the time, but he was able to turn hearsay into his own words, which was considered a partial talent, so he recruited him as a scholar...... Today it seems to be short-sighted, but unfortunately, ridiculous. ”

Xuezheng hurriedly said: "The lower officials are ashamed, and I think who is taking advantage of this child to become famous." ”

Speaking of this, Xuezheng glanced at Zhuang Xuexue.

"If it weren't for this Mr. Zhuang's strong recommendation, Xia Guan would have almost missed this three-character poem."

Chen Shengzhi asked in a loud voice, "Where are you from?" ”

This Zhuang scholar lowered his head and said: "The villain is the second year of the Tiansheng pedantry, and he gave the classmate a background, and the election has not been used so far, so he has to stay at home......"

Chen Shengzhi said: "How many redundant officials are there in the imperial court now, not to mention the background of your classmates, even if you are the same Jinshi, there are also those who are not selected." ”

Zhuang Xuezhu understands that in recent years, the wind of shadow supplementation has prevailed again, and today's officials are good 'emperors' in the mouths of all officials, and they like the children of grace and shade officials the most, and there are even thousands of shadow officials a year, so that scholars like him have no way to confer officials. Even if there is no way to confer an official, you don't want to serve at all.

Chen Shengzhi hastily asked a few words, Zhuang Xuexue's talent and learning experience, and then said: "It's a pity that the old man is buried for the virtuous, but it is also hard work for you to run around as an official when you are old, so it is better to get an idle job." You go to the front hall to see my old man, first be a guest here, and he will wait for me to enter Beijing and then select a vacancy for you. ”

Zhuang Xuexue didn't expect that he would be able to become an official for decades. Although he was not sent, he had an idle job and was considered to have an official status.

Zhuang Xue cried with joy and immediately kowtowed and thanked him. Chen Shengzhi said: "But today's matter, you are not allowed to tell the second person to know, let alone reveal this three-character poem to others." ”

Zhuang Xuezhi immediately said: "The villain remembers, Chen Gong conferred great grace on the official, and the villain is unforgettable." ”

Chen Shengzhi waved his hand, and Zhuang Xuezhi knew the opportunity to retreat.

Li Xuezheng sighed: "Although Mr. Zhuang is a Jilu, it is better than being an official. If you are an official, you are not a candidate, for example, in the officialdom, we would rather kill people in order to reduce the hardships of the past six months. As an official, only when he goes to the Beijing Dynasty is he a little happy. ”

Chen Shengzhi said: "The imperial court's current law of selecting officials can be peaceful, but it can't be selected, so you don't ask for all." However, it is not without chance that you want to elect someone to change the Beijing official. ”

Li Xuezheng hurriedly said: "Please also ask Chen Gong to make it clear!" ”

Chen Shengzhi smiled and did not speak, but picked up the piece of paper of the three-character poem and said: "Pu Wangfu once asked the old man if there were any books for the use of the Meng, and now it is just time to present this." ”

Li Xuezheng suddenly understood something when he heard this.

Now the ministers in the court are all about the establishment of the prince, and they are in trouble with the officials. Of course, the ministers ostensibly said that the establishment of the prince was for the safety of the country, but in fact it was for their future promotion.

But Chen Shengzhi didn't make any trouble in this matter, and went to get married to King Pu's mansion.

So once the official family establishes an heir, Zhao Zongshi of this Puwang Mansion can be said to be seven or eight out of ten. Chen Shengzhi's move is really clever.

And most of this three-character poem is dedicated to Zhao Zongshi's eldest son Fameng for reading, I heard that although this little son is young, he is extremely studious. And is Chen Shengzhi using this to imply something to himself?

Li Xuezheng suddenly realized at this moment: "Thank you Chen Gong for your advice." This sub-chance is also too good. ”

Chen Shengzhi smiled, and then said: "Eh, when it comes to Fameng's book, there are not a hundred or eighty books in the King's Mansion, and whether you look at it or not, you have to look at this creation." But when it comes to Shi Meng, there is also a Fang family, Xuezheng might as well guess. ”

Li Xuezheng thought for a while and said, "Could it be Linchuan...... Wang Jiefu? ”

Chen Shengzhi smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Since the four-phase hairpin, Chen Shengzhi and Wang Anshi have become friends, and they often exchange letters.

Chen Shengzhi said with a smile: "When he exchanged letters with Ouyang Yongshu, he said, 'He can peep at Mencius every day, how dare he look at Han Gong in his life', you see that he compares himself to Mencius, and Ouyang Yongshu to Han Huizhi, his tone is really not small!" ”

Han Yu once had a theory of Taoism.

This was the earliest statement of Mencius, Confucianism has been passed down from generation to generation, and Confucius's learning is after Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and King Wen of Zhou, and after Confucius, only he is the true transmission.

And Han Yu also took out the statement of Mencius and said it again, and he was the true biography after Mencius in the end.

Indeed, before Han Yu, few Confucians studied with Meng, so it is okay for Han Yu to say that he was Mencius's Bole.

In the letter between Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu, he compared himself to Mencius, compared Ouyang Xiu to Han Yu, praised both the other party and himself, and thanked Ouyang Xiu for being his Bole.

Chen Shengzhi said with a smile: "This person is not shocking and endless, and he is very stubborn. ”

Chen Shengzhi remembered that when Wang Anshi was a herd judge, he didn't raise a glass for a day, and when he knew that Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion personally poured wine, he said, "My subordinates never drink alcohol in their lives." Even Bao Zheng had to say that Jiefu had hard rules and was respectable. ”

"A few days ago, Jiefu was also thinking about going to the official family to ask the country to accumulate many evils, at first glance it seems that there is nothing but there are many hidden worries, and it is necessary to change the things of the world, and the official family is a lenient character, and he likes that now the four seas are peaceful, how can he easily change his course. After I waited for a while to persuade this book, Jiefu just gave up. ”

"Therefore, I also want to find something for him to do, and these three-character poems want to meet his wishes."

Li Xuezheng nodded and asked, "What about that boy of the Zhang family?" ”

Chen Shengzhi said with a smile: "Don't alarm him for the time being, and don't even reveal the news of the prodigy." Besides, it is too early to call it a genius with a three-character poem, and after reading and understanding, it can be written by idlers. ”

"But such people still have to be used by me, and if I don't need them now, I will use them in the future. But not now, and he is not in a hurry to solicit him, it is inevitable that a poor disciple like him will run into walls everywhere, but he has suffered some grievances, and he will be grateful to Dade when the time comes. ”

Li Xuezheng also said: "Chen Gong uses people with kindness, and the officials admire him so much. ”

Zhang Yue didn't know that his three-character scripture was going to be seen by the future prime minister Wang Anshi for the first time, or appear on the desk of the future official.

He also did not know that he was likely to lose even the naming rights and be listed in the name of an official or an official's child.

And Zhang Yue, who was studying in Wuxi at the moment, heard bad news.

The fact that he entered the Dayjin Hall to study was given to Huang.

Who is stirring up the yellow? Zhang Yue thought that there must be an inside story, but later he learned the reason for the incident, and he was cheated by his second brother again.

It turned out that after the New Year, the clan learned to recruit some children from the clan to study in the Dayjin Hall.

Of course, the children of the official status are preferred, and the children of the Han family like Zhang Yue generally have no chance. But because of the recommendation of Professor Zhang Youzhi, this is an opportunity.

But in the past few years, because Emperor Renzong has not opened the road of grace, there are many Jinshi families like the Zhang family. Therefore, there are many children of official nationality who enter the clan study this year, and if Zhang Yue enters the clan study, he will squeeze the seats of other official children of the same clan.

In this way, some people complained, he said that Zhang Yue's brother Zhang Xu ran away from marriage, and there was such an insulting thing to the clan, how could his younger brother still have the face to enter the clan study?

As soon as this voice came out, it attracted the attention of the Zhang family, and after some discussion, even if Zhang Youzhi recommended it, it was useless, and Zhang Yue was ruthlessly brushed down.
