The emperor personally came to the celebrant of ceremonies?

Not to mention that Chu Kuan was taken aback, when Lu Chan brought the emperor into the celebrant of the Northern Imperial City with a bitter face, this small yamen was simply completely chaotic. It's not that no one thought about reporting to Chu Kuan, but Hua Qi, who came with him, squatted directly on the wall of Chu Kuan's courtyard, so the messengers didn't stop.

Moreover, in the eyes of the eunuchs who all came out of the inner study hall and had been educated by the patriotic education of the loyal monarch, the Duke of Chu was the most loyal model, even if the emperor broke in all the way directly from the gate of the ceremonial supervisor, there could be no accidents, so in the end, the emperor was allowed to follow Lu Chan and came directly to the front of the public hall where the master of ceremonies took the seal to do things.

At this moment, the emperor saw Chu Kuan, who was saluting after opening the door in a hurry, and only bowed his head slightly and went straight to the door, passing by Chu Kuan's side and patting him on the shoulder: "Don't be polite, I have something to say to you." The rest of the people have all retreated far away from me, and anyone who dares to eavesdrop on a word will be killed! ”

Although the emperor said that he was a maverick, and he still has the problem of relying on his preferences in everything when he was young, the expression "no forgiveness" usually does not appear in his common words. Therefore, since Lu Chan and below, everyone hurriedly retreated. Lu Chan, who was the last to exit the courtyard gate, couldn't help but look up at Hua Qi who was squatting on the wall, and couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.

That was Zhao Guogong's most confidant bodyguard, and there was no one - it is said that the emperor had taken a fancy to him many years ago, but he had never been able to poach people, and he had only recently gotten his wish. However, how could such a guard, who was once an outsider, be so trusted by the emperor in such a short period of time, and stay so big when others retreated? The three words of killing without forgiveness are not aimed at this person?

After retiring from outsiders, the emperor walked around the not spacious public hall of Chu Kuan, and then said with a smile: "When I was a child, I felt that with your talent, if you went to the imperial examination, you might have already won the top prize and become the prime minister." When you were promoted to the position of celebrant and supervisor, others thought that you were a special person at this age, but I felt that I still wronged you. ”

Although the emperor's expression was natural and his tone was kind, Chu Kuan didn't feel that the emperor was really just the child he grew up watching. Anyone who has been sitting on the throne for nearly thirty years will have an extraordinary heart, and the emperor is just unwilling to wronged himself many times, so it looks arbitrary.

So, after a quick moment of deliberation in his heart, he simply bowed down and bowed: "The slave maid was reborn because of the kindness of the Queen Mother, because of the mercy of the first emperor, he was able to study and learn martial arts, and because of the emperor's weight, he was able to take charge of the celebrant and eunuch, so he was determined to be loyal and serve the kindness of the three saints." As for what imperial examination is an official ......"

Chu Kuan raised his head directly, his face full of frankness: "Except for a small number of followers who are dedicated to the country and the people, except for a small number of people who really have clean sleeves, and they can also sit up straight, not just with a sharp mouth, but a real clear stream that can assist the king, can write books and speak, and can educate the people, and the other scholars and slaves are not in their eyes!" ”

"If you are in the same column with these people, I am afraid that the slave and maid will feel uncomfortable!"

The emperor couldn't help but jump his eyelids slightly, remembering the scene when he had just ascended the throne, sitting on the branches of the imperial garden with Chu Kuan, pointing to the moon and scolding those hateful elders in the court. But twenty-seven years have passed, and he has compromised with those hateful bosses many times, but Chu Kuan has clearly continued his dislike for those pedantic and useless people to the present.

He couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and then said angrily: "Okay, those people who read don't look down on you, and you don't look down on them, just two clear!" Get up, come to this set with me, and don't panic under your knees! ”

Chu Kuan didn't get up according to his words, but still maintained the posture just now: "The slave maid has made quite her own claims over the years, if the emperor thinks that the slave maid has done something wrong, please make it clear." ”

"You know you're making your own decisions!" The emperor was not angry, he stepped forward a few steps, and directly grabbed Chu Kuan from the ground, and shouted angrily, "Who asked you to send eyeliner to Zhang Shou?" You want to send people to the door openly, such a sneaky ......"

"Isn't that eyeliner bright enough?" Chu Kuan saw the emperor pulling his collar, thinking that when people were young, they liked to use this trick of pulling their collars when they were young, and after answering, he couldn't help but feel a little in a trance. When he found that the emperor was stunned and let go, he said with a straight face, "When people go, they say that they are craftsmen who have cast copper movable type in the celebrant and economic factory. ”

Belch...... A craftsman who had worked in the factory of ceremonies and supervisors who had done book printing was really so upright and was recruited by Zhang Shouna's workshop? Zhang Shou also accepted people so easily?

The emperor was slightly distracted, and then couldn't help but stare at Chu Kuan with a tiger face: "You didn't discuss this matter with me in advance!" ”

"The slave just wants Zhang Shoujue to feel that this is the master of ceremonies who wants to install people there on his own initiative. If he doesn't care, he won't care about it, if he cares, then when he complains in front of the emperor, the emperor, who doesn't know anything about it, said that with Zhang Shou's cleverness, as long as he looks at the emperor's expression, he will naturally be more sure that this is just a slave doing it privately. ”

He would never suspect that the emperor was not worried about him. In fact, Your Majesty, you are indeed very relieved of him. ”

Seeing that the emperor was glaring at him more and more angrily, Chu Kuan said lightly: "But the slave and maid are different, the emperor is too lazy to think about things, but the slave and maid have to think about it more." In the more than a year since Dr. Zhang entered Beijing, he has done too many things that his predecessors did not expect, let alone do, and his mentorship is obviously not so simple, even if Mrs. Ge insists that he taught it, do you believe it, Your Majesty? ”

Believe it!

His teacher only thinks that Zhang Shou is very good in his eyes now, so not only does he go out to do Zhang Shou's marriage, but even the crown ceremony is eager to make up for it, if he has a daughter, maybe Zhu Ying will meet the biggest opponent......

Not to mention helping Zhang Shou take on the problems of this aspect, even if Zhang Shou has other problems, Ge Yong will not hesitate to take it together!

After all, in addition to his teacher, Zhang Shou has a clean background, and in the more than a year since he came to the capital, everything he has done has been frank and unrestrained, and it can even be said that it is beneficial to the country and the people.

The emperor buckled a big eccentric hat for the teacher in his heart, but in front of Chu Kuan, he still acted as if nothing happened.

"I don't care about Zhang Shou's mentorship, not to mention that he has always been above board. I hope to fulfill Emperor Taizu's long-cherished wish to make me stand on top of the world, and to do this, can I still count on those old fellows who only burrow into the pile of ancient books? ”

Chu Kuan can be regarded as the person in the palace who knows the emperor best except for the queen mother, even a pillow person like Concubine Yu has to be stunned. Therefore, he was not surprised by the emperor's idea, and even agreed with it, but it was not all agreed.

"The minister knew that the emperor hoped that Zhang Shou could disturb the stagnant pool of the Guozijian in the past, but now it seems that he has obviously done it. But the emperor also saw that although there were many noble disciples in the Banshan Hall who began to regain their strength and work hard, the Jiuzhang Hall was already very successful soon after it was reopened, but the remaining six halls of the Guozijian ...... Hehe, the scholars are vying for power and profit, and Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye are just the same. ”

Therefore, Zhang Shou can stir up only the group of people around him who can influence, and they are all young people who are unwilling to be mediocre, as for those who are not very old, but their hearts are already dying, they are of little use. As far as the minister knows, the turmoil that Zhang Shou is stirring up now has made many people desperately track down his origins. ”

Seeing that the emperor's face was full of disdain, as if he wanted to say that Zhang Shou's origin was not enough in the palace, Chu Kuan said word by word: "The emperor knew that Zhang Shou was really the widow of an ordinary talent because of Hua Qiye's own witness, as well as Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo. ”

"Everyone has a lot of money, and they have to guard against it. Therefore, the slave maid made a vigilant appearance in advance, which also happened to block the tongue of the mouth. ”

The emperor's face was full of disapproval, but what Chu Kuan said next made him even more irritable. Just like Chu Kuan's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed at this moment, it made him feel uncomfortable. He knew very well that Chu Kuan would call himself a slave in front of others, and this was deliberate!

"The emperor is about to appoint the three princes as the crown prince, so although Zhang Shou has taught the three princes before, if he continues to serve as the prince's teacher, I am afraid that the opposition from the court will be even greater. The emperor doesn't want to say it, he plans to continue to let the three princes go to Jiuzhangtang. ”

"I just plan to let Saburo continue to go to Jiuzhangtang." The emperor had a rigid face and said in a deep voice, "Saburo's temper, although he has Shiro as his companion in the palace, he still can't come into contact with too many outsiders after all. If he can't keep in touch with people often and know how to deal with people, then over time, he may become the cowardly he used to be. ”

"You should know that from ancient times to the present, those so-called saints know how to control their subordinates best, and they are often not better than the hands of women in the deep palace, but have often run outside the palace since they were children, and they are the best at dealing with people. And those emperors who are longer than the hands of the women in the deep palace are either faint monarchs and mediocre lords, or puppets who are played with in the palm of the hands of the ministers. ”

"I will not change my mind just because some people outside the world oppose it. If they don't want to do it, they will get out, I have accumulated a few talents in my pocket for so many years, unlike when I first ascended the throne, and the queen mother was afraid of the minister's picking! ”

"Zhang Shou, as well as those students in Jiuzhangtang, I am very satisfied. Therefore, I will let Zhang Shou teach San Lang, and I will let those students of Jiuzhangtang accompany San Lang to study, so that he can know what an ordinary scholar is like since he was a child. ”

Chu Kuan just wanted to test the emperor's attitude towards Zhang Shou as the crown prince, and seeing that the emperor had obviously made up his mind, he simply stopped mentioning this stubble, but tried to turn the topic to another aspect of his hope.

"If the emperor insists on Zhang Shou as a member of the prince's teacher, then it is very important to choose other teachers. The feast was supposed to take a few days, but now it seems that sooner rather than later. And the four mountain chiefs specially summoned by the emperor to Beijing, after learning the news that the new crown prince is about to be canonized, I am afraid that even Hong Shanchang, who has said that he wants to go back, will change his intentions. ”

"I'm full of food and have to recruit that old guy in to teach Saburo? I can't stand him, why do I bring people in and harm Saburo! He has already invited himself to return home, and as soon as the feast is over, let him go! ”

As soon as the emperor mentioned Hong Shanchang, he was angry, and at the same time glared at Chu Kuan in annoyance: "You also said that the best of the best academies in the world are selected, and those academies that are full of peach and plum all over the world and whose students are officials in the court, the mountain chief is a great Confucian scholar with a tolerant and open-minded personality, who can accept new things, and is proficient in miscellaneous subjects, but he actually mixed in such an old Taoism!" ”

Being counted down by the emperor like this, Chu Kuan also felt helpless. The celebrant has limited manpower, and more energy is focused on taking care of various industries for the royal family, and the spy intelligence information all over the world is only incidental, and even if the spying is only concentrated in the officialdom, it is only after he mastered the celebrant that he began to spy on the subjects of the teachers and professors of those colleges.

And the emperor suddenly sent down, let him in the world's many academies to select a good at miscellaneous disciplines of the mountain chief to summon the capital, the time is tight, the task is urgent, he can only according to the following report of the situation of each academy, and then through the information on paper to make a screening.

The achievements of a few students of Yuzhang Academy in miscellaneous subjects are really outstanding, and it is even said that someone used white crystal to grind out a magic mirror that is claimed to be able to ignite fire, and this thing was witnessed by the spies of the celebrant supervisor, of course he took it for granted that it was taught by Hongshan Changjiao. Unexpectedly, when I saw Hong's that time, Hong's actually confessed to him that she was secretly funding and encouraging!

So, at this time, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "The slave maid has asked people to visit Yuzhang Academy again, and finally found out that the students in Yuzhang Academy who are very prominent in miscellaneous subjects are all the daughters of Hong Shanchang, and the Hong family secretly funded and pointed the direction, so they will be obsessed with the ...... of miscellaneous subjects."

He very calmly said what the Hong family said and what he found out corroborated each other, and sure enough, he saw that the emperor's expression became extremely subtle.

He knew that the next emperor's attitude was nothing more than two kinds, either he was angry with the Hong family's intentions and then drove him out of the capital; Or they feel that Hong's vision is unique and different from his father. But since he himself has made a decision, it is natural that he will push the emperor to make a choice that favors him.

"Your Majesty, the Hong family is so good at scheming, of course, you need to be careful, but since the emperor hates Hong Shanchang very much, why not leave the Hong family? The slave maid personally went to the school to test Hong's talents, she knew all the four books and five classics, she was a rare talented woman, and the most rare thing was that the women she had taught started from the most superficial things. ”

"Don't you think that before Old Master Ge became the emperor's teacher, the teachers who taught you all tried to make the original esoteric classics more profound? It's as if if you're not a good teacher if you don't talk about it. Young children have a young teaching method, and it is the right thing to do from the shallow to the deep. Hong, at least in this respect, still has an advantage. ”

Seeing that the emperor was silent and obviously began to think about his words, Chu Kuan struck while the iron was hot and said, "The most important thing is that if the Hong family is selected, her father can go back with peace of mind." Moreover, her matter can cover the matter of the teachers and students of the Nine Chapters Hall. ”
