Shen Xi didn't ask Liu Daxia and Xie Qianneng to help him much in the officialdom, just don't always have nothing to do. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

But from another point of view, Liu Daxia and Xie Qian are certainly using him, why aren't Shen Xi using the two to make political capital for him?

Take the matter of the Franco machine writing a letter to him, if there is no Xie Qian in the middle, Shen Xi is really not easy to explain to the imperial court. Now he can turn a bad thing into a good thing, and let the imperial court talk about the introduction of new crops with the Francophone people, and there are countless living people, which is the most meaningful thing Shen Xi has done for the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Qian finished transcribing the notebook and asked a few more points that he didn't understand, and then waved his hand to let Shen Xi leave. Xie Qian read the recital from beginning to end, nodded with satisfaction, and then carefully folded it and put it into his sleeve.

Liu Daxia asked, "Yu Qiao is going to enter the palace?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to face the saint when I enter the palace at this time." Xie Qian sighed, "These days, I'm too busy with business. ”

Liu Daxia nodded, he knew very well the physical condition of Emperor Hongzhi, although it was the height of summer, Zhu Youzhu was infected with the cold, he was bedridden for a few days, and he didn't even hold a court meeting, and he was sluggish in political affairs, and he had accumulated a lot of official business.

From the perspective of the cabinet, Liu Jian is almost seventy years old and too old, and Li Dongyang is seriously ill because his eldest son Li Zhaoxian is seriously ill, so he can't take care of big and small things, so Xie Qian has become the pillar of the cabinet.

At this time, Xie Qian was able to take the time to meet Shen Xi, sort out Shen Xi's suggestions and prepare the script, which was already commendable.

"Your Majesty has been in poor health recently, and as a courtier, you can only try your best to share the burden for the king." Liu Daxia could only say comfort.

Xie Qian smiled: "Sometimes Brother Yong is such a loyal minister in the court, my work is quite light. Your Majesty is very important to Brother Shi Yong, ......"

"Your Majesty Longen, you should share your worries for Your Majesty." Liu Daxia sighed lightly, "But there are some things that I can't do, and at my age, my physical strength and energy have long been weak, so I can only rely on experience to do things." It's Shen Xi, who should indeed be promoted, if he always works as an errand in Hanyuan and Zhan Shifu, his talent will be wasted. ”

Logically speaking, Shen Xi is young, even if he has outstanding ability, he can also give full play to his talents, and he may be able to become a minister who assists the prince in the future.

But in Liu Daxia's mind, Zhu Youzhu was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he would not pass on the throne for a while, and the crown prince might have to wait for one or two decades to ascend the throne.

Xie Qian disagreed, and said with a smile: "That kid from Shen Xi, it's better to stay in Hanyuan, if you let him come out, you may not know what kind of turmoil will happen." And...... I still need him. ”

These words made Liu Daxia laugh dumbly.

Liu Daxia hoped to transfer Shen Xi from the Zhan Mansion to serve in the Sixth Ministry, while Xie Qian hoped that Shen Xi would continue to stay in the Hanlin Academy system.

Although both of them are important ministers of the imperial court, they came out of the two systems, Liu Daxia belongs to the pragmatic school, and Xie Qian is promoted in the Hanlin system, and has never served in the local government and the six yamen.

Xie Qian knows the work of Zhan Shifu better than anyone else, and only by leaving Shen Xi in the Hanlin Academy can Shen Xi have enough time to help him do things, because Shen Xi, the lecturer of the East Palace, only needs six days a month to give lectures, and another six days to go to work to write lectures, and he is very idle at other times.

But if Shen Xi goes to the Sixth Division, then there will be a few days of rest at most in a month, and when he has something to do to find Shen Xi, he may not even find anyone in Shen Xi's house.

And Xie Qian hopes that Shen Xi can inherit his mantle, and the entry of the Hanlin Academy into the cabinet can be said to be the lightest of all the promotion systems, he does not want Shen Xi to be sent abroad, because Xie Qian feels that the six ministries and yamen are too tainted with mundane affairs, and the dispatch of local officials will make Shen Xi impetuous, and it is easy to distort Shen Xi's values.

Liu Daxia said: "What does Yu Qiao mean, refuse to give in?" ”

"It's nature."

Xie Qian replied quite unceremoniously, but there was a hint of ridicule in his words, "If you let people go, then who will write the script for the old man?" ”

It was originally an unspeakable and embarrassing thing, but Xie Qian took it for granted.

Since you, Liu Daxia, already know that these insightful scripts of mine are all drafted by Shen Xi's kid, then I have nothing to hide, I just want to tell you that I must stay in the Hanlin Academy for this person, and I will not let it go to you. Xie Qian finally added: "...... It's not that I'm selfish, Your Majesty instructed me to mention Shen Xi more, so that he can better assist the prince in the future, and I'm acting on orders. ”

Liu Daxia and Xie Qian, both of them have the same mind, that is, to give full play to Shen Xi's talents. Even if the two of them can't do meritorious service to Shen Xi, they won't bury talents, they want to use their connections to help Shen Xi pave the way and add a pillar to the imperial court.

Shen Xi has no experience in politics in his two lives, and he thinks that a good thing that others can't think of is a burden, and he always thinks about how to distance himself from the two old guys, so as not to be used. But it seems that it is very difficult for him to avoid these two important ministers of the court at the moment.

……

……

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Shen Xi gave a class to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao.

At this time, the weather is still very hot, and Shen Xi is sweating and must muster all his spirits, for fear that there will be mistakes and omissions.

The bear child doesn't understand Mr.'s hard work, there is someone next to him to fan him, plus he is familiar with Shen Xi, he likes to ask a tricky and weird question when he has nothing to do, and he always has to talk nonsense with Shen Xi about the content outside the classroom, which makes Shen Xi miserable.

"During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, why were the northern countries strong, but they didn't unify the whole country with strong troops?"

"Is Keju unique to the Song Dynasty?"

"Is polo fun? Mr. Shen, I'm already learning to ride a horse, and now I can lead the horse......"

Zhu Houzhao doesn't have any playmates, he has close attendants around him, and the youngest is also a eunuch who is four or five years older than him, Xiao Xuanzi, who has always been afraid of him, and he doesn't even dare to raise his head when he is together on weekdays, let alone make friends.

But Shen Xi is different.

In terms of identity, Shen Xi is Zhu Houzhao's husband, even if Zhu Houzhao is the prince, he must maintain basic respect for Mr. Shen Xi is still the champion of the Ming Dynasty, with extensive knowledge, and most importantly, Shen Xi knows how to teach students according to their aptitude, and will not rigidly teach the content in the books, the lessons he teaches are not boring, and allowing Zhu Houzhao to ask questions is very helpful for inspiring and broadening Zhu Houzhao's horizons and improving his logical thinking ability.

For Zhu Houzhao, listening to Shen Xi's lectures is very interesting, if you don't understand anything, ask directly, no matter what you ask, even if Shen Xi doesn't answer, he won't say a bunch of big truths with a straight face.

Shen Xi also has some "golden ideas", such as helping him out of the palace, blackmailing his two uncles to send him good things to play, and helping him treat those disobedient eunuchs...... In Zhu Houzhao's mind, Shen Xi and him are also teachers and friends, and if there is any ulterior matter, it can also be resolved through negotiation with Shen Xi.

Shen Xi said: "The prince learned to ride a horse, just to lead the horse to walk?" ”

"Yes...... But I didn't dare to ride it, and I got on the horse, what if the horse suddenly went crazy and lost control, and I fell off it? ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little worried on his face, although he was stubborn, he knew what danger was.

"The prince should not be afraid of difficulties, so that he can achieve something, if he is afraid to cower, will the prince always lead the horse or ride the carriage when he goes out on patrol in the future?" Shen Xi said in an instigating tone.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened suddenly.

Shen Xi said that the prince's patrol was a very beautiful thing in his mind, and he imagined that he was riding a tall horse surrounded by countless people and walking through the street, which was really wonderful.

"Okay, I'll learn to ride a horse, and you'll teach me how to play polo when I get back." Zhu Houzhao said with longing.

Shen Xi wanted to say, I'm afraid that by the time you are free to swing right away, I haven't learned it yet...... I can't ride a horse, how can I teach you to play polo?

But in order to maintain the prestige of the gentleman, he only nodded, not committal.

After that, in the class, Zhu Houzhao still continued to ask questions, some of which involved the history of the Twenty-first Dynasty, all of which were vague in the history books, such as whether Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change was really persecuted by his father and brother, and why the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin State had been confronted for many years, why they were defeated after the Mongol attack, but it was more a question of the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Shen Xi picked and answered, but he couldn't say all of them, and he didn't answer all those sensitive places, but this had already made Zhu Houzhao appreciate the Ming that was different from what others described.

After the afternoon class, Shen Xi thought to himself that he could finally go home and rest. Who wanted to leave before he walked out of the Chufang Palace, Zhu Houzhao behind him followed out out of breath and said, "Sir, don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something to ask you." ”

Zhu Houzhao was already busy going to the school field of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to kick the juju, but when he suddenly came over, he knew at a glance that it was a temporary idea.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Shen Xi looked at the bear child who was frowning and seemed to have something on his mind.

Zhu Houzhao hesitated and said: "That's the case, I have always asked my second uncle to take me out of the palace, but he always finds excuses to prevaricate me, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, can you help me again?" Just once...... I heard that you are going to be conducting some exams soon, and you may not be able to teach me for two months, if you don't come...... I'll have to wait a long time to get out of the palace. ”

Shen Xi said: "The ones I taught you before, don't work?" ”

"It's not that it doesn't work, it's that my second uncle is too cunning, I used to ask him to come, and he can always come over and bring me some gifts. But recently, for some reason, he hasn't been in the palace for a long time, and I called someone to call him, and he replied that he was sick and bedridden...... But I heard those eunuchs say that my second uncle is doing well, calling friends every day, and the banquet at home has never stopped......" Zhu Houzhao said indignantly.

Shen Xi thought to himself that it should be the last kidnapping that had a deep impact on Zhang Yanling, which made him jealous of the royal family, so he deliberately avoided entering the palace.

"I'll teach you a way, you take it and try it, and keep Jian Changbo coming to the palace as soon as he hears about it, and obey your dispatch." Shen Xi said with a bit of banter on his face. (To be continued.) )
