Zhu Si nodded and said: "Of course I understand my brother's thoughts, but if I am the first assistant of the Ministry of Rites, I have no fame, and I am inevitably afraid of being criticized." The elder brother started to take the entrance examination from the township examination, and he gained fame with his own ability and made a name for himself, which is also the ambition of the eldest husband. However, the elder brother went back to Huguang to participate in the township test, and by the time the laurel list was released, it was already past the Mid-Autumn Festival. In my opinion, you might as well take the township test in Nanzhili, so that it will not affect your official affairs and not violate your personal aspirations, okay? ”

Wang Chuanshan said: "The holy method can be described as the best of both worlds, but in the hearts of the ministers, if they can't get the right this time, they will never enter the cabinet again." So ......" Zhu Si hurriedly interrupted him and said: "My brother's words are wrong, since ancient times, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds in family affairs and state affairs, and the trade-off between public interests and private interests is an important yardstick of a person's virtue. Now that the DPRK and the Central Committee are employing people, the elder brother has more than half a year from the August Township List to the spring of the following year, so the state affairs have not been delayed a lot. Moreover, during this period, I will probably leave the capital and lead a large army to the Central Plains battlefield. If my brother is no longer in the court, how can I rest assured? ”

It was just a rumor before, but now that Zhu Si has personally confirmed it, Wang Chuanshan was surprised: "The saint still wants to drive the expedition in person?" Zhu Si said: "Jiannu still occupies our Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Zhili places, and their main force has not suffered any losses, I am sure that the next battle will be a series of bloody battles and decisive battles." If I don't experience the battlefield myself, how can I be sure of defeating Dorgon? Today's internal and external situation is very good, but it is extremely difficult to obtain, so I also implore my brother to be less narrow-minded and more open-minded. What is the achievement of the DPRK and China today that is not the hard work of my brother? Everyone has seen your political achievements, are these achievements not comparable to a gold list? It is true that this is also your long-cherished wish, so I will not deliberately block it, but my brother can't let go of state affairs because of this. ”

Wang Chuanshan thought for a while and said: "Since the saint is also preparing to leave the capital, then the minister should stay and leave to return to his hometown." Zhu Si smiled and said: "Well, this is my good brother, and I also wish my brother a straight victory." ”

The first assistant of the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet of the Ministry of Rites is going to participate in the township test, which has become a big news inside and outside the capital. Especially those who are idle and have nothing to do, the second generation of officials, sons, all of them think very highly of themselves, and many of them are going to participate in this township examination, so they all want to be able to go to high school and compare with Lord Shoufu.

"Have you heard? Lord Shoufu Wang is going to participate in this year's township test in Nanjing, with his talent, I don't know which of us will fall behind? Gongzi Qu is also going to take the exam this year, if he can take the exam in the same hall as Lord Wang, I really don't know who the champion will end up with? ”

It is said that those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big things, and one of them has a young man who said: "Hehe, yes, one is respected as a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is known as the first genius of the Ming Dynasty. Qu Renjie is already the Xie Yuan of the last township test, and this Xie Yuan is the first in the township test of Nanzhili, his ancestral home of the Qu family is Changshu, born in Nanzhili, and this time Lord Wang was promised by the saint to take the township test in Nanzhili. If Lord Wang can't win Xie Yuan, he will already lose. ”

Another person said: "I see, you are really worrying, Lord Wang is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how dare the president of this chief examination embarrass him?" I don't know if I will reveal the topic to him. "I don't think so, Lord Wang is a gentleman." "Huh, gentleman? Shouldn't you be a gentleman on the beam! ”

The small talk of a few people was heard by a few Confucian scholars at the adjacent table, and these people listened very unpleasantly. One of them spoke loudly: "I hate this kind of useless kid who always likes to do nothing." Mr. Funayama's "Lao Tzu Yan" and "Yellow Book" have anyone read it? How is it that Sir's argument that has been applied by the world is comparable to that of such birds? When the country was in danger, Mr. advocated restoration, and those who advocated righteousness and righteousness were all from Mr. Sect, and the water source was woody, and Ruiyusi. And what did those who were taunters do? If everyone is a gentleman in this kind of learning, wouldn't they even be worthy of being a villain? ”

The gossip here heard the resentment at the next table and asked, "Hey, who are you talking about?" The man said, "Whoever is shameless, I am talking about whom!" Are you going to bring shame on yourself? "Oh, what are you stinking and shameless?" "What are you? The so-called gossip is not about people's wrongs, how can you dare to criticize Mr. Funayama's talent? "Who are we talking about, that you should be in charge?" Could it be that you are the illegitimate son of the king and the farmer? "You!"

The one who was not angry still wanted to speak, but he was persuaded by his friends, but he was even more proud of the scolding. Among them, Qu Renjie was included, but his friends' praise and gossip about him did not arouse much interest in him at first. But because of the objections of the adjacent table, he was competitive again, so he forgot all the words that Qu Shiyun admonished him, and wrote a poem in the restaurant, wanting to challenge Wang Chuanshan in the air, and his poem said: "Thousands of students are a miracle, and children can only be cabinet ministers when they try to show." The deer banquet does not do the Kui Xing dance, and it all depends on the palace words to detain the royal gate. The Huguang villagers asked each other, and they were already in the Zhili examination. At the end of Xie Yuan is Sun Mountain, and outside Sun Mountain is the name of Shangshu. At the end, a narration was added: "Thinking about the repeated failures of Lord Shangshu's township attempts, it will inevitably make the later students sad and sigh." Late life loves sadness, adults love the imperial examination, but since ancient times, the name of the gold list, those who are talented will win, and those who can be in a high position will be talented, and they will be virtuous. ’

This poem also quickly reached Zhu Si's hands, which made Zhu Si tired of Qu Renjie's essence. Just when Zhu Si pressed his temples and had a headache, Su Pei and the others came, and without going around the corner, they directly mentioned Qu Renjie's poem.

"Does Shiro know that Qu Renjie is writing poems and scolding people again?" Su Pei asked, Zhu Si handed the manuscript of the poem to Su Pei and said, "Isn't it here, this Qu Renjie is arrogant and arrogant, he doesn't take me and his brother in his eyes at all, writes a poem to scold people, and insinuates that his brother and woman are not talented and virtuous." Sometimes I really want to grab him and beat him up. If there were a few more people in the world, I would probably have to live ten years less. ”

Of course, Zhu Si did not think that Qu Renjie had more talent than Wang Chuanshan, and even the foreign scholar of the Soviet Union, F. G. Bullov, said: "It is of great significance to study Wang Chuanshan's writings, because his doctrine is the highest stage of the development of medieval philosophy, and he is a true encyclopedic scholar." However, this first person in medieval philosophy was scolded by Qu Renjie as a dog, Zhu Si was very annoyed, and Su Pei was even more annoyed, so several women came to Zhu Si to determine if there was really such a thing.
