Replace yourself, dare to say clearly in front of Old Master Ge and a group of royal relatives who are not considered to be high-ranking and powerful, but at least have a certain opportunity to talk to the emperor, and clearly say that if the court does not reuse itself and only intends to treat himself as an insignificant little official, then there is a time limit for doing things for the court, and this period is only five years?

Everyone including Yan Yuxi was quietly asking the same question to themselves, and in the end, it was clear that everyone's opinions were divided. Yan Yuxi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Baisha can work hard for five years, but if it is replaced by me, I am afraid that I will say that even if I have eaten the rice of the people, I have also enjoyed the tax-free field as a lifter, but instead of being a small official, I should return to my hometown to teach." ”

"Because, as a small official, I may make a small contribution to the imperial court, but compared to my teaching and educating people, it is too far away, who said that teaching students is not contributing to the country? What's more, if Shangguan is virtuous and can be outstanding, then I will naturally be convinced, but if Shangguan has a big belly and a vegetarian meal, but he still has to pick his nose and eyes, I can't bear it. ”

"In the past, Tao Wuliu once said that he would not bend his waist for five buckets of rice. Although I am far less noble than Mr. Wuliu, I am not willing to submit to the small officials, because if I go to the small officials, I will definitely not be as skilled as those who have been working for generations to make a living. And burying oneself in the case every day, neglecting his studies, undoubtedly outweighs the losses. ”

Regarding Yan Yuxi's equally sharp statement, the emperor squinted his eyes slightly, but he also did not make any judgment, but looked at the other three. As a result, the statements of the three of them were slightly different from those of Chen Xianzhang and Yan Yuxi.

One person said that whether it was the imperial court's rice or exempting a part of the service, it was for the sake of raising soldiers. Since he is a soldier, rather than letting the world's students compete for jobs with clerical officials, then since there are important ministers' recommendations, the emperor and important ministers in the court are unwilling to pay attention to talents, but only let people be a mere clerical officials, so they can only brush their sleeves and go.

Another person said that even if he is a famous man with a lot of wealth, since he has no experience in practical affairs, it is a bit unrealistic to rashly demand too high an official position and the trust of the officials. In the past, Zhuge Wuhou's Longzhong pair was famous through the ages, but facts have proved that there are more people in the world who claim to be Zhuge Wuhou but do not have the talent of Zhuge Wuhou.

After being down-to-earth and familiar with practical affairs, we should look forward to higher official positions and governance space.

The attitude of the last person is also very tough, saying that the local county lieutenant and county Chengtong judge the second official such as the second official, and those who are in the six departments of the central court are all reserved for those who do not enter the rank of the official after the qualification is entered, if the real scholar is recommended to be relegated to such a position, then speaking out is not only competing with the official, but also lowering himself to the level of the official.

And after listening to the five people's statements one by one, the emperor finally glanced at his own teacher Ge Yong, who had always been there, and then smiled: "The teacher's eyes on people are really extraordinary. Although these five gentlemen who used to lecture in public schools have different temperaments and different knowledge, they are all people who dare to speak out, and they dare to tell the truth. ”

The middle-aged man who was scathing about this question in front of him suddenly called Teacher Ge Yong directly, and everyone was really surprised. However, before these celebrities who finally realized the true identity of the emperor could react, the emperor smiled and said, "It is really true that I have come here today, and I have gained something from your words." I apologized for disturbing the teacher's guests. ”

Shi Shiran clenched his fists and arched his hand, the emperor turned around and left without hurrying, and the clans who originally acted as pawns hurriedly followed-otherwise, would they stay and be asked?

And as soon as they left, the stunned celebrities finally regained their normal thinking ability, and naturally turned their heads to look at Ge Yong. At this time, Ge Yongfang, who had not spoken just now, scolded: "Come when you say come, leave when you say, leave the mess for me to clean up, is there such an unscrupulous student as you in the world?" ”

Although the emperor had already gone out, Yan Yuxi was very sure that the emperor would definitely be able to hear it clearly with Old Master Ge's loud voice.

Even if he didn't think that the emperor would blame Ge Yong for this, he still sweated, and as a result, he didn't wait for the emperor to go and return, but waited for the voice of a small guy outside who was sincerely afraid.

"Old lady, the emperor said that today disturbed a grand event here for you, and you should scold him twice. As a ream, he turned around and ordered five sets of new prints to be selected from the ancient and modern collection library and given to all those who were invited today, just as an apology. ”

Speaking of this, the little guy paused, and then whispered: "The emperor said, listening to the old lady, you are full of anger, and when you turn around, I will send a box of Luo Han Guo, so that you can make tea and moisten your throat." He also said that the Guangdong Political Secretary has just presented a batch of arithmetic books from overseas, so why don't you send them to you first? If you think it's good, let the interpreter translate it? ”

Hearing that the emperor sent Luo Han Guo to "defeat the fire", Ge Yong was naturally furious. However, when he heard that there was an arithmetic book, his face finally turned better, but he snorted, no longer continued the topic just now, but shook it off angrily, and then looked at the five people he invited today.

"The emperor has always thought about one thing at a time, so although today's event must have been specially arranged by him, you don't have to think too much. In my opinion, you have all behaved very well, and it is not in vain that I invited you to be the first to give lectures at public schools. You must know that the emperor is not afraid that you will die without being shocking, but what he is afraid of is that you will go along with others and do what they like. ”

It turns out that I just decided to tell the truth, but it turned out to be the right thing?

Yan Yuxi and Chen Xianzhang smiled bitterly at the same time, and their faces returned to flatness. Among the other three, the expressions were completely different, some were happy, some were afraid, and some regretted missing an opportunity to talk in front of the emperor.

However, unlike these celebrities, after leaving the Ge Mansion, the emperor turned around, and the large group of sub-clans he brought with him nodded slightly: "I have worked hard for you today, I think you will not be wrong about what they said just now, so spread it out, I hope that those people outside can know such a thing, whether it is other celebrities or not." ”

Naturally, this kind of task is not very difficult. However, the seven or eight clans look at me, but they are a little unclear about the emperor's intentions. People just praised these five celebrities in front of Ge Yong for being frank and honest, and now they turn their heads and ask them to go outside to preach these words, which is obviously not caring, but in fact it is not?

"The question I asked today is not only for them, but also for the people who are reading all over the world, so of course I would like to hear what others have to say."

The emperor was very aware of the concerns of the clan, so he simply explained it clearly: "Therefore, what I just said, you might as well publicize it together, so as not to make people feel that I am dissatisfied with them." ”

With the words of the Son of Heaven, the smartest old and young in these clans naturally understood, so they said goodbye to the Son of Heaven, and they hurriedly went to spread the matter of today's Gefu.

So, as the emperor wished, the five celebrities faced the emperor's acrimonious question, each of them insisted on different attitudes, and for a time spread as quickly as possible. So much so that after Chen Xianzhang went back, he understated that Liang Chu didn't know much substantive news, but he went out for lunch, but he heard a lot of various versions of the news.

But even if there are different opinions on those news, one thing is the same, that is, they are all talking about Chen Xianzhang's unbelievable attitude in front of the emperor. Isn't it the right thing to do for a scholar with a meritorious name, to get a lot of rice from the imperial court, and to be exempt from a part of the enslavement? Where do you need to serve the officials? Since the Song Dynasty, hasn't the country always been so generous?

Really speaking, the admission quota of Jinshi in this dynasty is much less than that of the Song Dynasty!

Liang Chu, who came back in a hurry, originally planned to ask the teacher about it, but when he opened his head at the door, he found that Chen Xianzhang was still able to concentrate on reading.

So, this young prodigy, who is now well-known in the capital because of his teacher Chen Xianzhang, quietly retreated, and then slipped out of the inn and went straight to Zhang Yuan to ask for a meeting. However, of course, Zhang Shou, a busy man, was not at home during the day, and Zhu Ying was also busy with the enrollment of the first batch of students of the women's school, so he was in vain.

The young man of the Liang family, who was not discouraged, asked the concierge clearly, Zhang Shou went to Ciqing Palace to give a lecture in the morning, and he should be in the public school in the afternoon, so he went straight out of the city without stopping, but after arriving at the public school, he pounced on it again. At noon, most of the people in Ciqing Palace will have dinner, and Zhang Shou often has to accompany the prince to talk to him before leaving, at least before the beginning or even the right time to go to the public school.

This time, Liang Shao was determined to wait patiently here, since Zhang Shou was going to class, at least it was impossible not to come back. However, just here boring and empty, this prodigy, who has long been famous in the countryside, is not willing. Anyway, the public school is not a national prison, and it is not forbidden for people to visit, so he simply registered his name and surname at the concierge, and then swaggered in.

The last time he came with Chen Xianzhang, who was lecturing, he was nervous, and the teacher was too difficult, even if he was next to him, the third prince was still confused when he left, so he didn't notice the other scenes in the public school at all, but today he decided to take a good look.

As a result, Liang Chu, who memorized the Four Books and Five Classics backwards, did not dislike the things taught in the junior high school and senior three classes of the public school so simple and straightforward that he couldn't bear to listen to them, but lingered in every classroom for a while.

He even went to see the locker room where the school uniforms were kept, and learned that it was Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan who went out to fight for funding, and Zhang Shou came up with the name of the school uniform and locker room, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

Obviously, it is just a group of students who are only slightly better than the illiterate, and even the content taught in the advanced class is only the most superficial knowledge in the children's examination, but now, those students are the same as the students of Guozi Prison, wearing their own neat clothes and outfits, and when they come out, their spirit immediately looks different.

Of course, what Liang Chu wanted to see most was not only how these students who were too ordinary took classes, but he was more interested in Zhang Shou's Jiuzhang Hall and Banshan Hall. Especially in the absence of Zhang Shou today, will these two places continue to hold classes, or sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, one in front of one and one behind the other.

So, he quietly flashed to the Banshan Hall where Guijie's children gathered. Just after looking outside the door, he found that the middle-aged man who was lecturing on the stage actually saw him with extremely sharp eyes, and even shouted bluntly: "Who is sneaky outside the door?" ”

Seeing a large number of people turning their heads to look at him, Liang Chu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and even had a feeling that people would rush out in the next moment, and speak ill of the evil people in the market, and even wave their fists at him, but he realized the next moment that his shallow understanding was wrong.

For among those who looked back, there was a person who recognized him very sharply. It was a very large man, a slightly older boy than him, and he shouted bluntly: "Sir, that is Mr. Baisha's disciple who came to the public school to teach before, and Liang Xianggong, who is now the person who took the Guangdong Township Test, is not a fox friend who came here to have fun with us!" ”

"Mr. Lin, he's probably here to visit the public school."

The middle-aged man who was lecturing on the stage found that it was Zhang Datou, the chief of the fast, who was speaking, and couldn't help but glare at people with some annoyance, but he didn't open his mouth to scold. After all, he is also a well-known scholar in the Song Dynasty history in the capital, but he is actually not very willing to go to the public school to teach a group of famous gentlemen, but the public school is now as famous as it is rising, and the fame of these boys is also increasing day by day.

If he casually refuses, he will be remembered by the elders of these people when he looks back, and it will really be boring for himself.

At this time, he was quite pleased that Mr. Baisha, who was said to have personally attended the lectures by the crown prince, would also be interested in his lectures, which also made him energetic and did his best to combine Song Huizong's frivolity in treating national politics and his outstanding talent in calligraphy and painting and other arts, but it was very different from the attitude of ordinary historians to refute playthings and lose their minds.

And after Liang Chu found out that his identity was exposed, the teachers and students inside ignored him, lecturing and listening to lectures, he felt comfortable, and he listened to it with relish when he stood at the door.

However, when he heard that if Song Huizong was not the emperor, he would inevitably be a generation of virtuous kings who would leave a name in history, and if Song Zhezong continued to reign, he might not have a maritime alliance, he finally couldn't help but interject outside the door.

"Although Song Zhezong may not be able to be called the last generation of British lords, and after the Jurchen is strong, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty may not be able to resist the temptation to take back Yanyun, and the alliance between Song and Jin on the sea may not be repeated, I deeply believe in this judgment of Mr. However, if Song Huizong is only a clan, he can be regarded as a generation of grandmasters with his good kicking and painting......

"But that's just that, it's a stubborn clan, and it's not a good king, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him: "For the clan of the Song Dynasty, as long as they can keep to themselves, as long as they don't care about anything, whether it is to play with women, or to play calligraphy and paintings, gold and stones, etc., it is a virtuous king." In this sense, Mr. Lin's explanation just now is extremely precise. ”
