Chapter 873: Chaos is in chaos
Send a bachelor who is actually the first assistant, plus an earl to send the Goryeo Shan Jun back to China to succeed to the throne? Do you want to take another group of noble children who claim to go to the sea to experience the sea, go to Goryeo by the way, and prepare to go to sea with the ship to other countries in the world in the future?
If a few days ago, those young people surrounded Zhang Rui, the Duke of Chu, and a group of people who went to the public school to ask for Zhang Shou, and then made a fuss about their own family, this is just the corresponding rumor, then now this is like a shock, which simply shocked the courtiers.
After the Confucius scholar was invited back to the Qianqing Palace, he did not go to the cabinet when he came out again, but returned home without saying a word, only sent a note of leave, and then began to close the door to thank the guests. This kind of attitude of obviously making a stir, or expressing protest, suddenly stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and I don't know how many small circles of shocks were aroused.
After all, this is not only a matter of cabinet seats, but also countless seats up and down a whole line - although it is not really a matter of glory and loss in these years, if the Confucian scholars really fall, the protΓ©gΓ© of the old hometown party is naturally not trivial. So, on the same day, someone impeached Confucius University for his abuse of power...... As a result, the music is like a stone sinking into the sea, and it does not send.
This ambiguous attitude immediately attracted more temptors. Of course, it is definitely not a swarm of people who come up to impeach Confucian scholars, but there are also righteous and stern accusations that the emperor's move is excessive - what small Goryeo country, even if the crime is asked, there is no need for the head of the civil official and the lord to go together, even if the canonization of the king is just a trivial matter......
And as more and more people are left behind, it is better to try to figure out what they want, and then stand out, to attack the Confucian scholars, and then to send the head of their own party to the cabinet, or to keep the Confucian scholars...... By the way, although Confucius scholars are closed, their confidants have been specially informed and told to exercise restraint and be quiet.
As a result, the tune of the demons dancing is getting more and more intense, but it is mainly some low-level officials who are dancing up and down, and the middle and high-level bigwigs are either watching from the sidelines, or doing things calmly, in short, they have an attitude of not participating, which certainly makes the court like a hot oil pot on the one hand, but it seems to be a pool of stagnant water on the other.
And Zhang Shou, an idler who only had the title of a bachelor in Hanlin, was not able to stay out of the matter in the end. Someone directly pointed the finger at his previous recital, and fiercely accused him that his so-called idea of rebuilding a new school was purely to invite favors and fame, and with ill intentions, how could a person in a higher position learn the skills of a boatman and a boatman?
Then, the criticism of Professor Jiuzhangtang's arithmetic involved the exclusive domain of Qin Tianjian, and such a recital also followed. Then, some people submitted a letter, claiming that the stars in the sky had changed drastically, and that the image of the Lord of man being deceived by traitors was the ......
Having received a modern ideological and scientific education, Zhang Shou was very unimpressed with the so-called celestial and human induction, coupled with astronomical observation, until his time, there were technical limitations, let alone now. He was completely unfamiliar with the algorithm of calculating solar and lunar eclipses, so he never taught this kind of thing, and even more sneered at the rise and fall of the stars, government affairs, and so on.
Therefore, at this time, he was sprayed, and he really felt that some people had a hole in their heads, until this fire burned directly on a few people in his house who were about to take the exam, and he realized that there were other famous names in this turmoil against him.
Obviously, many people are determined to succeed in this test, so they think that the few buildings near the water in his family will get the moon first - but these guys don't want to think that even if Song Juren fails to pass the Jinshi exam, the marriage contract with the Jiangdu Royal Mansion will not be invalidated. Fang Qing is bound to win, but people come from a slightly cold background, it depends on luck, as for Zou Ming and his two companions who fell into the water, they are very open-minded about the future.
If you are not open-minded, you can't help it, because the imperial examination has changed from the wanton cheating in the Tang Dynasty, where the name is just a fig leaf, to the transcription of the Song Dynasty, even if there are always candidates or examiners who try their best to communicate with each other, it is really not like the one filmed in some TV dramas, who do things in the imperial examination at every turn.
Because this is the same as cheating in the college entrance examination, it will kill a river of blood at every turn! Otherwise, why is it that Zhu Yuanzhang caused the North-South List incident in the early Ming Dynasty in history to be talked about until modern times? During the Hongwu years, the meeting was stopped for more than ten years!
Therefore, Zhang Shou didn't think that he could get out of a few new science and technology scholars in his own garden, and he would burn high incense if he could produce one, and he didn't even know the two who were named the main examiner and the deputy chief examiner in this department, and they belonged to the same Hanlin Academy at all, and they didn't know each other. Now that he has suddenly suffered an unwarranted disaster, don't mention his anger.
But there is more than one impeachment of him, the emperor does not send it out, and he also stops people from talking about those things at the court meeting, he just wants to find a chance to spray back in front of him and has no way for the time being, and he doesn't have to go to court often. After thinking about it again and again, he directly asked Ah Liu to invite Song Juren and Fang Qing, who were preparing for the test.
Because they haven't been out since the early days, the two of them don't know what's going on outside. It's just that when they appeared in front of Zhang Shou, their spirits were completely different.
Song Juren's face was full of red light, his eyebrows were dancing, and those who didn't know thought that he was in love with the Hailing County Lord of Jiangdu every day, instead of preparing for the exam at home. However, Fang Qing is different, his face is pale, his eyes are blue, and he looks like he is in a trance after studying hard there, and he is afraid that he will not eat or sleep well.
Therefore, Zhang Shou's words couldn't help but turn into a reproach: "I said Xiaofang, I will try soon, how can you toss yourself like this?" β
Fang Qing smiled awkwardly, and then heard Song Juren's fussy voice: "That's it, Xiao Fang, how did you do it!" I change my way to make food for myself every day, after all, the exam is coming, so I can't be wronged by myself......"
Zhang Shou then understood how Song Juren's good looks came about - because this kid is proficient in cooking and can make a good sugar water, he deliberately prepared a kitchen for people in people's yards, and even on the eve of this exam preparation, people are still in the mood to eat and relieve stress, and the word foodie is really more worthy of his name than him!
Therefore, when he saw Fang Qing squinting at Song Juren with an extremely strange gaze, he coughed and said, "All in all, combining work and rest, Xiao Fang, you have to learn from Xiao Song." By the way, I invited you here today because I have something to talk to you about. β
Zhang Shou didn't sell it, and immediately said what had happened these days in a relaxed tone. Song Juren, who was often jokingly called Song Ben by Ah Liu, scratched his head, and he didn't particularly understand the mystery of this, he only felt that some people in the court were full of food and supported it, but Fang Qing was different.
Born in poverty, his self-esteem and inferiority complex are the same, and he is particularly sensitive, at this time he subconsciously thought of the upcoming test, and was shocked and angry for a while: "Are these guys drunkards not drinking, sharpening knives, and sword fingers?" β
Song Juren was stunned for a while, and then said as if he had a toothache: "Will you still talk well?" β
Fang Qing didn't expect to be stabbed by Song Juren even a word, but he didn't have time to pay attention to this guy at this time. He arched his hand to Zhang Shou with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "What does Master Zhang want us to do?" β
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just plan to ask the two of you to put down your studies and homework, and write a few articles for me. I don't really read books very often, so I don't have a ghostwriter staff, so it's not good for me to quarrel with these people in person, and let me use sage articles to fight against people. β
When Zhang Shou said this, his face smiled: "However, I just thought that I don't need to catch a pen, it's better to use the names of the two of you, and I will directly help you send it. Instead of practicing eight strands there all day, it is better to change your mind and write other articles to let your mind loosen up a bit. β
Fang Qing was still hesitating slightly, but Song Juren didn't think about it, and immediately exclaimed with joy: "This dare is good, Master Zhang, you point out, what should we write?" Ah, by the way, do you want to invite Zou Ming and them over too? β
"Also, isn't this someone talking about astronomical signs? I remember that time, Mr. Zhang, you had already refuted this, and Lu Gaoyuan even made Ye Mengqiu almost cry in public, but now that people are lost, aren't they all about to become half of your students? It's better to pull Ye Mengqiu and their brothers together, there are many people and great strength! β
Fang Qing was simply shocked. For such a big thing, Song Juren has such an attitude of being afraid that the world will not be chaotic? However, when he saw that Zhang Shou not only did not object, did not remind, but also seriously thought about it, he suddenly felt a little powerless.
But the next moment, he understood Song Juren...... Or why is Zhang Shou so fearless.
Because Song Juren actually said happily there: "Hailing told me that since he was a child, the emperor has hated those old men who have been holding on to the ancestral system and tradition all day long, and likes to push through the old and bring forth the new the most, so he will support Master Zhang to reopen the Jiuzhang Hall." Now it's just sending someone to send a Goryeo prince back to the throne, and the big thing is suddenly made like this, and he must be angry. β
"Of course, this so-called stay in the middle is not because I want to suppress things, but because I want to see which bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods jump out!"
Song Juren actually had such a judgment because of the words of the county lord of Hailing, and Zhang Shoudu admired this boy who was sometimes very dull and sometimes quite sharp. It's just that although he sensed that there was something wrong with the limelight, he didn't know what the emperor and some old men were planning, so he finally shook his head.
"Let the two of you ponder the article and fight back, that's because the emperor knows about you, but Zou Ming and them are not the same thing after all, they just suffered an unwarranted disaster to temporarily live with me, so don't involve them."
"As for Ye Mengqiu's brothers, they are good at learning, but they are not good at arguing with others."
Seeing that Song Juren's face was full of regret, Zhang Shou said lightly: "Actually, this matter today may not be because of the trouble caused by the gold sent by the queen mother and the ladies in the palace, others think that I have taken the lead and are jealous." Therefore, Lu Saburo, who is in charge of that matter, will go to the table with you. He has a lot of ideas, and the articles are well written, which just complement each other. β
These four words complement each other are not used in this kind of place, right?
Even though Fang Qing complained in his heart, when he was pulled out to discuss by Song Juren, Wen Shuwen had been so warm these days that he wanted to vomit with all kinds of simulated eight-strand texts, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. The kind of qi that is bound to be won is relaxed, but it is replaced by a sudden brightness in front of you.
And when Lu Sanlang rushed over, it was really three stinkers, Zhuge Liang. The little fat man's article is not good, but one, two, three, four, five can be carried clearly, in Zhang Shou's words, people belong to all kinds of people with particularly clear logic.
So, overnight, what these three people concocted was not an article, but a ...... Ten articles, and from all angles to refute the impeachment of Zhang Shou for several days.
And the little fat man was still not enough, so he patted his head and went to Jiuzhangtang to find a few classmates with excellent arithmetic talent and good logic, and then from a pure arithmetic point of view, imitating the terminology mode of Jiuzhang arithmetic that ordinary people absolutely can't understand, it took another day to concoct eight articles.
Song Juren still couldn't hold back in the end, went to find Zou Ming's three, and then invited the three to help write articles to refute in the name of catching knives, and then Lu Xiaofat patted his chest and promised, inviting Zhang Datou and some other students in the middle of the mountain hall to claim these articles. So, on the fourth day, the General Administration, which was already overwhelmed, ushered in the forty-first concert.
And just arrived, the cabinet sent someone to pick it up, and then forwarded it to the imperial front, and the next day at the court meeting, the emperor who had been staying in the various pieces of music before, picked two officials with the loudest voices to read in public. It's still very cold on this day, and I don't know how many people are shivering from the cold of this lengthy pilgrimage, especially those unbelievable articles they can't understand at all!
In other words, every word can probably be understood, but the sentence becomes extremely weird, and they absolutely don't believe that it was purely written by Song Juren and Fang Qing, as well as those gentlemen in Banshan Hall!
However, when the next day, when their deliberate counterattack was once again in the sea, and the emperor sent someone to read another batch of defense articles in Banshantang in public, a group of people who turned the spearhead to attack Zhang Shou originally had the intention of throwing stones to ask for directions, or speculation, and those who were really pretentious and outspoken, finally discovered a desperate fact.
The Son of Heaven is openly partial!
It wasn't until this moment that someone hurriedly stopped and pretended that nothing had happened. However, although most of them were not prosecuted, there were also a few who were suddenly arrested on charges of forming a party for personal gain and plotting against each other.
This vague eight words has always been the only magic weapon for the emperors of all dynasties to clean up the prime minister and other important ministers, thinking of the Confucian scholar who was said to be sent to Goryeo, everyone felt that the first assistant who was not the first assistant was afraid that he would be defeated, but he did not expect that within a few days, the news that the scholar Zhang Yu was the main envoy and the Confucian scholar was still in the cabinet.
At the same time, it was Lin Shangshu who suddenly fell ill, and the emperor had just sent the imperial doctor, and before he could enter the door, he died!
