Just after Hong Shanchang angrily scolded Zhang Shou, even the four princes were merciless, and the onlookers were in different moods while eating melons and watching the play, and when they found that a group of ministers and ministers had tacitly forgotten Hong Shanchang when they recommended the East Palace to speak, they were even more convinced of their judgment.

And now when the emperor gave the gold, he left the Hong family, and I don't know how many people's eyes fell to the ground. But before everyone could delve into whether Chief Hong Shan really said such a glorious resignation in front of the emperor, the emperor suddenly changed his words and said: "Engrave two silver seals, one is the superintendent of the mountain, given to Yongping, and the other is for the superintendent to inspect, and given to Zhu Ying." ”

The matter of women's learning, there are quite a few people among the people who have heard of it, Princess Yongping presiding, assisted by the Hong family, and most of the people feel that this configuration is understandable. But...... But what the hell is it to add a Zhu Ying? Zhu Ying: That's notoriously hard to learn!

In this Wenhua Palace, where the earth dragon is as warm as spring, Zhu Ying, who also came to participate in the banquet today, smiled brightly and brightly, so that Princess Deyang next to her even had a feeling that spring had arrived. As for the other daughters of the clan and the daughters of each family, it is a pity that Princess Yongping is not there, otherwise, they will probably be able to see what Princess Yongping's attitude is towards Zhu Ying.

And after the emperor suddenly came to such a digression, he opened his mouth and asked: "Who else does the emperor recommend?" ”

Although the number of people who participated in the Wenhua Hall banquet was large, the people who had just made a recommendation were like mirrors in their eyes. As for the dozen or so candidates launched by the bigwigs who recommended them, they were the ones who performed well in the lectures at the Wenhua Hall Banquet - of course, on the first day, a certain teenager who performed the most prominently, and even had a heated debate with a Confucius scholar who had the first assistant, this is not to mention.

Of course, the most important thing is that the big guys who make recommendations are all above the fourth grade!

However, when the rest of the people were wondering whether it was worth taking a risk and recommending someone close to them, Zhang Shou suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends the former military squire, Mr. Liu Zhiyuan and Mr. Liu." ”

In an instant, the huge Wenhua Hall fell silent. When others were still hesitating whether to break the obvious tacit understanding just now, Zhang Shou's sudden speech could be described as groundbreaking, firstly, because Zhang Shou broke through the grade of those who recommended him before, and secondly, of course, because Liu Zhiyuan, who was recommended by Zhang Shou, was far higher than the grade of the East Palace.

Even the Third Prince's expression was obviously surprised, not to mention the Fourth Prince, everyone could tell from his wide-eyed expression that he didn't understand.

Someone even read a sentence effortlessly from the expressions of the two brothers - why didn't you say it earlier, teacher?

Of course, it was none other than Miss Zhu who read such a sentence. She raised her eyebrows in confusion, and then she felt that Princess Deyang beside her seemed to touch her lightly with her hand, and a voice like a mosquito was heard in her ears: "Yingying, don't you know either?" ”

"You know what, Ah Shou didn't tell me at all! Mr. Liu is my eldest brother's teacher, if he had said it earlier, I would have recommended it in front of the emperor and the queen mother...... Otherwise, it's okay to blow more blows on the third and fourth princes! Zhu Ying snapped her fingers with some annoyance, and then said with some dissatisfaction, "If he had said it earlier, my father could have recommended it!" ”

Zhu Tingfang originally thought that Zhang Shou had tried but failed, or Zhang Shou was afraid of difficulties and planned to prevaricate in the past, at this time, he saw that someone openly recommended his teacher at this Wenhua Hall scripture banquet, his eyes flashed, but the next moment, he felt that his arm was pinched heavily.

Undoubtedly, who else could there be but his father?

As if he didn't notice the pain caused by the great force, he raised his eyebrows casually, but the words that came to his lips did not come out. Although he wanted to go out and go along with it, he knew that standing up for himself would only be counterproductive. Sure enough, he immediately heard an opposing voice: "Does Master Zhang know that you are recommending Uncle Ling's teacher Zhu Tingfang?" ”

"Don't you hear that you don't avoid relatives when you move inside, and you don't avoid enemies when you move outside? What's more, I'm not married yet. Zhang Shou smiled and cross-examined the Confucian scholar, and then said in an extremely natural tone, "Mr. Liu is upright and resolute, and he is a former Huiyuan, needless to say. Of course, after all, he was a squire in the military department, and he lectured for the East Palace, so he was probably condescending. ”

However, Yichen's understanding of Mr. Liu is that he only cares about doing things, not about his position. If it is something that is beneficial to the world, although tens of millions of people have gone to it, they will never grandstand and sell their reputation. ”

At this moment, Zhang Shou took out the words that Hong Shanchang had just accused him, which immediately caused an uproar.

And the emperor, who also didn't expect this stubble, thoughtfully tugged at the few beards he had grown, and at the same time was surprised, he felt quite appreciative. There is no way, the maverick emperor will naturally feel close to the maverick boy.

Of course, if Zhang Shou didn't have a relationship, if he wasn't Zhu Ying's fiancé, if he didn't really have the ability, he wouldn't be so good at talking, the Son of Heaven is elegant and elegant, it depends on the person! So, the emperor said slowly: "Liu Qing is indeed a rare talent, I originally wanted him to take his position, but he told me that the old body does not seek to be re-employed, but only to be worthy of his heart." ”

Therefore, he actually got mixed up with Lu Qing, and took care of the public school all day long, which shows that this is a heart for a student, I didn't expect it, but I have to praise his ambition. He taught Saburo, which is indeed appropriate. It's just that Zhang Jiuzhang said that he doesn't seek fame, but I can't help but be courteous, otherwise if it spreads, wouldn't I be as good as San Lang and Shiro respecting their teachers? ”

To everyone's ears, these words were simply the best counterattack to Hong Shanchang's attack on the three princes' blind respect for the master just now. But the emperor had obviously not entered the palace before, so he should not have heard Hong Shanchang's words, and everyone could only be suspicious, and by the way, he plucked a tear of sympathy for Hong Shanchang, who was changing his face at this time.

Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan's entry into the East Palace to give lectures was a foregone conclusion, and the emperor was afraid that he would respect his rank, the Confucian scholar knew that he could not stop it, so he simply rushed out of the queue before the emperor set a grade for Liu Zhiyuan, and took out the killer weapon that had been prepared for a long time these days.

"The East Palace lecture is related to the future of the prince, the future of the world, the ministers and others have the responsibility to recommend, and the emperor, as the monarch's father, calmly and carefully selected, this is right. However, tomorrow the East Palace will be canonized, and the Ciqing Palace has been fully furnished, but the minister will not say a word! ”

Speaking of which, the Confucian scholar directly lifted the hem of his robe, and it was a rare occasion to pay a big salute on this occasion: "The ministers are cabinet ministers, and today they are begging for the saints, and the Ciqing Palace should be served, and they should no longer be selected into the palace people who know the language, so as not to let people rely on what they have learned and demagogue!" There is filial piety and loyalty, this is the principle of heaven and humanity! ”

As soon as he said this, he saw that in the huge Wenhua Palace, there were twenty or thirty literary nobles snatched out in an instant, and at the same time echoed and shouted.

Faced with such a situation, many courtiers and nobles, and even many children of officials and eunuchs and daughters of famous families, after being shocked, couldn't help but have a little agreement.

Since the Han Dynasty, most dynasties have not ruled the world with filial piety? Isn't it because of filial piety that there is loyalty?

And the negative example is that in addition to Meng Yuan, who actually had crooked roots from the Yuan ancestor Jianyuan, the Tang Dynasty, which had brothers and sons after the founding of the country, even if it was once prosperous, but because Taizong Li Shimin made a bad start, and even generations of descendants went forward to do the work of forcing their fathers with sons, so in the middle and late periods, the princes were almost all waste raised in the mansion of the ten kings.

Of course, there is a relationship between the reuse of eunuchs and the final abolition of eunuchs, but isn't it that those sons of heaven are afraid that their sons are too heroic, so they come out of Li Shimin, then Li Chongjun, then Li Longji, and then Li Heng, so they would rather raise their sons to waste than let them have the opportunity to seize their father's power?

With the messy lessons of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, this filial piety character has been raised to the highest height. In this dynasty, although it is a mess of Jingjing, anyway, it comes once, twice, three times, but at least there has never been a tragedy of forcing the father with a son, and it is impossible that the vassal king is not satisfied with the new king of the center, and he raised his arms and cleaned up the world in an instant.

Therefore, seeing that Confucius Scholar and such a large number of people knelt on the ground to express their feelings, everyone woke up to the fact that Confucius Scholar, who was really unknown and was not the first assistant, was to cut off those who were not only literate and hyphenated, but could even be said to have read the scriptures and history, but only violated filial piety to enter the East Palace. And the reason is even more ready-made, because the prince must be loyal and filial!

So, a man quietly came out and knelt on the ground, but he seconded it with silence. When there were finally dozens of people kneeling in the main hall, Zhang Shou, who was watching coldly, found that Zhu Ying, who was sitting among the daughters of the family, actually got up.

He had always been a little wary of Chu Kuan, and he had no intention of standing up for the celebrant to open his eyes, so he couldn't help but be a little puzzled by Zhu Ying's actions, but after Zhu Ying threw a glance at him, he smiled, and then calmly appeared next to the crowd kneeling on the ground, but he was not in a hurry to give a salute.

"Your Majesty, so many important ministers in the court have reminded Ciqing Palace not to leave people who can read and hyphenate, otherwise it will be easy to deceive people's hearts, who are they worried about bewitching? Why don't you say that they are worried that someone will bewitch the future master of Ciqing Palace! ”

No one expected Zhu Ying to come out suddenly, just as Zhang Shou, her closest fiancé, did not expect it, Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, as father and brother, were also surprised. What does Zhu Ying want to say?

"But when the third prince was not the prince in the past, were all the palace attendants around him illiterate and uninformed? Could it be that when he was still young in the past, he was not deceived and learned badly, but now that he is getting older and calmer, and when he is about to be crowned prince, he will be misled by slander for a while? ”

"Woman's view! Even if the Tang Sect and Song Ancestor betrayed their father and the master from the beginning? ”

Scholar Confucius was in a hurry, and after blurting out, his face turned pale in an instant. Tang Taizong betrayed his father, Song Taizu betrayed the master, this is a well-known thing for all readers, but even if the later dynasty comments on the previous dynasty in the history books, they often use a little Spring and Autumn penmanship to deny these two Ming monarchs. Speaking out at such a time, doesn't it mean that he suspects that the third prince will disobey the monarch under the bewitchment of others?

How could he be so simply bypassed by Zhu Ying!

If it was someone else who was making trouble at this moment, then Confucius would definitely be caught by this mistake, and then chased and beaten for a while. But Zhu Ying stood up at this time, and it was not just about catching people's speech. Seeing the dark eyes of the third prince staring at her, as if there was some inexplicable emotion flashing in them, she smiled at this little guy who she had grown up watching.

"If a scholar has a few dollars in his family, he should accept a scholar by his side, and let him read and write. When you have a fame in school, you often have to add fragrance to the red sleeves, and the red sleeves are best to know how to recite poems and write poems, which is the mood. And when he becomes an official, he talks and laughs, and there is no white ding, and he has to learn a few words from the porter next to him. ”

"Today, I can appear at the banquet in this Wenhua Palace, either I am full of knowledge and Confucianism, or I am an official eunuch, and everyone is eager to boast that I have poetry and books in my belly, who dares to be like me Zhu Ying, saying that I don't like to read since I was a child? Ask yourselves, who can tolerate all the vulgar and unreadable attendants around you? Whoever wants to sing a poem no one can understand? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shou finally tasted it. He originally thought that Zhu Ying was not angry for a while, but now it is very clear that the eldest lady and Chu Kuan have no friendship, where can they come from this idle time?

People are simply holding grievances for the three princes! He was also confused, and he was weighing the hostility between civil officials and eunuchs, but he didn't think about what the proposal of Confucius University Scholar meant to the third prince!

Isn't this a preconceived position, treating people as children with soft ears and easy to be bewitched?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou didn't hesitate any longer, he glanced around and saw that the Hanlin who were originally all in the hall, because everyone had just snatched out the seconded Confucius scholars, so there was a large empty area, so he walked out indifferently.

"Your Majesty, as Miss Zhu said just now, how precious is the prince of the East Palace, the best of the best, the selection of knowledgeable people, and the people who read poetry and books as attendants, but instead they have to be served by vulgar people, it is not as good as the sons of wealthy families, and the children of scholarly families, how can this be reasonable? If the Confucius scholars were worried because of the previous rumors, then the minister had just thought of a way. ”

Confucius scholars and a large group of people suddenly seemed to be forced into the palace, and proposed that all the palace attendants used in Ciqing Palace were illiterate, and the emperor was really shocked and angry just now, but Zhu Ying's statement was like a glass of ice water after thirst in summer, and while suddenly quenching his thirst, it made him feel extremely comfortable. He didn't hurt this girl in vain, San Lang hasn't called Sister Yingying in vain for so many years!

Therefore, seeing that Zhang Shou also stood up, he immediately asked: "Zhang Jiuzhang, let's talk about it." ”

Zhang Shou didn't look at the large number of official eunuchs who looked at him angrily at this time, and said calmly: "There were a lot of attendants in the East Palace ordered by the emperor before, so why not select suitable children among the civil and military officials to prepare the East Palace attendants?" If they are even willing to do it with a broom, it would be even better, not to mention the palace attendants who are literate and hyphenated, and the Ciqing Palace is a vulgar and unliterate person! ”
