Shen Xi asked himself that he had not yet reached the time of opening the museum to teach apprentices, on the one hand, he felt that his ability was insufficient, and on the other hand, his age was not suitable!

Accepting apprentices is not a glorious thing, and accepting apprentices is responsible for the future of others, so in addition to spreading their ideas and academics, they also hope that apprentices can have a good future and become famous. In this era of attaching importance to the inheritance of teachers, no matter what students encounter in the future, as a gentleman, they can only share honor and disgrace.

The result of accepting apprentices only increased his troubles, and now Shen Xi can't even take care of himself, and he still has the heart to take care of others?

Shen Xi said: "I am only a shallow learner, and I have no intention of teaching my disciples, besides, I am now working in Zhan Shifu, and I will provoke gossip for no reason." ”

Feng Yi said stubbornly: "Does Shen Hanlin really care so much about other people's opinions? Students come to your door just to hear more about your teachings...... Shen Hanlin had let Xie Gongzi spread the knowledge before, and the students benefited a lot......"

Shen Xi continued to shake his head, his attitude extremely resolute.

"It's better for you and me to be equals, and after drinking this cup of tea with Brother Feng, let's go our separate ways." Shen Xi raised his teacup, "There is still business to be done below." ”

Feng Yi saw that Shen Xi resolutely refused to accept it, so he could only leave with regret.

When the others left, Shen Xi was still wondering, did he really have such a great personality charm that he could make a young man who was admitted to the student and was arrogant worship under the door?

When he returned home, Shen Xi told Xie Yun'er about the matter, but Xie Yun'er felt that there was nothing wrong with Feng Yi's actions: "...... If the concubine is a man, she wants to be educated, knows that Xianggong is outstanding in learning, and will not pay attention to secular prejudices, and resolutely worship under Xianggong's door to study hard, is there anything wrong with Feng Gongzi's approach? ”

Shen Xi shook his head and said, "It's not a question of right or wrong, I just think that his purpose of worshipping me as a teacher is not so simple." ”

Xie Yun'er thinks from a normal point of view, isn't it a natural thing for a scholar to find a good gentleman? Of course, she didn't know that there might be "entanglements of interests" and other issues behind this.

Benefits are not necessarily monetary objects, but also involve fame, career prospects, etc.

Shen Xi is now a lecturer in the East Palace, which is equivalent to the prince's husband, and worshipping him is equivalent to becoming the prince's "senior brother", and saying it will greatly improve his reputation and social status.

In addition, Shen Xi is serving in Zhan Shifu, and he is currently the right Yude, and according to the rules of previous years, the main examination of Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu Township Examination is served by Hanlin Official, among which Zhan Shifu is also the East Palace Lecturer and the Japanese Lecturer The most chance, don't look at Shen Xi's young age, but with his current official position, it is very likely that he will become the chief examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination next year.

Feng Yi said it politely, and Shen Xi also believed that he was not cowardly, but to say that Feng Yi didn't have any utilitarian thoughts in his heart, he didn't believe it anyway.

Two days later, when Shen Xi told Xie Duo about printing the book, he told him about it, but Xie Duo laughed, pointed at Shen Xi and said, "If it were you, I would definitely accept this disciple." I think you have only been in the capital for a year or two, and you are lonely, and if you have a disciple in the future, someone will do everything for you, and there will be a little more filial piety at home during the New Year's holidays? ”

Shen Xi frowned, and sneered: "The prerequisite for Master Xie to accept disciples on weekdays, is it because he wants to take a little more filial piety?" ”

Xie Duo was not angry, he still laughed non-stop, obviously his words were entertaining Shen Xi, so he didn't feel so harsh about Shen Xi's counterattack.

After laughing, Xie Duocai sighed: "After having a certain reputation, the number of people who come to ask to see will gradually increase, and there are many people who post to apprentice, you are taking the road of Hanlin Congshi, it is inevitable that you will encounter similar things, how to refuse euphemistically without offending people, you have to think about it." ”

These words made Shen Xi think so.

Xie Duo meant, everyone is mixed in Vanity Fair, what you are experiencing now is what happened to me back then, at first you will feel very honored, and you will think that this is the society's affirmation of you, but over time you will understand that these people do not really admire your talents, but just want to make political investments.

……

……

By the beginning of August, the weather was gradually getting cooler, and Shen Xi no longer felt that teaching the prince was a laborious job.

Standing and telling a history to the bear child, and then letting the bear child review for a while, the two of them sat lazy against each other, and this lesson was quite easy.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to assess the progress of the prince's study of the twenty-first history, which was not difficult for Shen Xi, as long as the prince remembered the great achievements of those characters in various historical stages.

It's hard for others to connect these together, but it's easy for a university professor from a centuries later with advanced teaching ideas.

Timelines, notes, appropriate spot checks, plus some flexible use...... In Shen Xi's view, all aspects of his investigation may be more comprehensive than the issues mentioned by Emperor Hongzhi, and it is more pertinent for a young prince who understands how to be a king who governs the world in the future.

"I'm so tired these days, can you learn something else?" Zhu Houzhao memorized it for a long time, a little dissatisfied, he worked hard here to memorize, but Shen Xi was reading books over there.

When it was time to rest, Zhu Houzhao threw the notes Shen Xi gave him on the table and yelled at Shen Xi.

In front of those old lecturers, Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to quarrel casually, at most, he skipped class and avoided those old lecturers, but for Shen Xi, he didn't have too much hypocritical respect.

Shen Xi sat behind the desk, holding a book in his hand and looking at it, when he heard this, he glanced at the prince and asked, "What do you want to learn?" ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his sleeves, put aside the pen and paper, and sat on the table: "Even if it's not fun, it should be interesting, these days those old guys are like drinking chicken blood to let me learn this and that, just you're better, but it's too boring for me to learn!" ”

"Get down!"

Shen Xi glared and shouted, Zhu Houzhao obediently moved his ass off the table, but he pouted, obviously a little unconvinced.

Shen Xi said, "To be a prince is to have the style to be a prince, otherwise who will be afraid of you when you go out?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked around, ran to Shen Xi in a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "Take me out for a walk, I always want to know what is going on outside." ”

Full of curiosity about the outside world, this is the common nature of children who are locked up in a small world, Shen Xi smiled and said, "Want to go out and see?" Yes, as long as I can successfully pass this assessment, I don't mind...... Find a way to get you out, prince. ”

"Oh!?"

Zhu Houzhao was extremely excited when he heard this, but he still vigilantly glanced at the attendants and eunuchs who were drinking tea and resting next to him, and then leaned over to Shen Xi's ear and asked, "You won't lie to me, will you?" ”

Shen Xi said: "You are the prince, I am a courtier, do I dare to lie to you?" ”

"Okay, just wait for your words, if I pass this exam successfully, then you can take me out to have a look...... I wanted to go out a long time ago, but this palace is so tight that it can't be crossed, hum. ”

Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his father, Emperor Hongzhi, but he immediately thought of another question, "Mr. Shen, you are so cunning, you say that you are passed, but how can it be considered passed?" ”

Shen Xi said: "At least let Your Majesty be satisfied with what you have learned recently." ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said with some uncertainty: "That's ......"

Looks like this kid is starting to play tricks.

If you don't want to study hard, and you want to get a good score in the exam and get a reward, should you take you out of the palace easily? If you don't make a good fuss, you have to move your head!

Shen Xi didn't think about why he agreed to Zhu Houzhao so happily, and when he thought about it, he probably felt that the flowers in the greenhouse should go out to see the world, and occasionally feel the wind and rain, this is a kind of responsibility as a teacher, in addition to letting students learn the knowledge in books, but also to understand the living conditions of the people in the market, because this student will be the master of the world in the future, manage the huge country, and work hard for the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people in the world.

I'm here to help you, not to take you out and fool around!

Before the rest time had passed, Zhu Houzhao picked up the notes and read them, but this time he read them aloud, deliberately so that everyone inside and outside the apse could hear them.

Shen Xi looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile, how could this bear child's careful thinking hide from him? But that's fine, when the assessment passed the Hongzhi Emperor Longyan Dayue, picked up the record that recorded the prince's work and study and took a look, yo, he actually studied without sleep and food during the noon break, and the credit would naturally be recorded on his head at that time.

When it was time for school in the afternoon, Zhu Houzhao was still holding the notes that Shen Xi gave him, but at this time he didn't have the energy to read aloud anymore, but he didn't have the strength to watch there.

Shen Xi gave Zhu Houzhao an encouraging look, then sorted out the lecture case, and came out of the Chufang Palace.

"I've seen Mr. Liang."

Prince Liang is nearly fifty years old, as a scholar of Zuochunfang University in Zhan Shifu and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, he is a very famous official in Zhan Shifu, but because he has been teaching the prince for a long time, he is only a lecturer in the East Palace, and has not entered Japan to lecture or feast.

Liang Chu is in Zuo Chunfang, and he rarely intersects with Shen Xi on weekdays, and he used to meet only to say hello and not communicate much, but this time he took the initiative to come to Shen Xi.

"Did Shen Yude hold a memorial service for his ancestor the day before yesterday?"

Liang Chu was a little grateful in his words, he should have heard about the memorial service held by Shen Xi in Dahua Temple for his ancestor, that is, Chen Xianzhang.

Shen Xi said: "Without the permission of Mr. Baisha's family and Gaozu, the lower officials held a memorial service privately, and asked Mr. Liang not to be surprised." ”

Liang Chu sighed lightly: "Shen Yude remembers that there is a master of this person, and it is too late to be grateful......

Because Shen Xi's actions deeply moved Liang Chu, he did not pretend to be an official in front of Shen Xi, and his attitude towards Shen Xi was extremely close, "I heard that Shen Yude has a lot of knowledge about what his ancestors learned before his death, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Shen Xi replied respectfully: "Xia Guan has read Mr. Baisha's writings, and his heart yearns for it. ”

"I see." Liang Chu looked relieved and smiled, "In the future, if there is anything unclear about the crown prince, we can discuss one or two with each other." ”

Shen Xi never thought that he would just stumble into a memorial service by mistake, and he would actually be favored by Liang Chu, the first assistant of the Taiwan Pavilion, originally with Liang Chu's status in Zhan Shifu, even if he stammered his face, people might not give him a good look.

Maybe his way of "patting on the back" is too unique.

If Shen Xi publicly held a memorial service for Chen Xianzhang in his own name, the traces of the axe and chisel were too obvious, and at a glance, he knew that he had another motive. As a result, he asked Xie Pi to preside over the forum, where he expressed his deep condolences for Chen Xianzhang's passing, and at the same time summarized Chen Xianzhang's academic thoughts and outstanding contributions in a general manner.

When there were not many people left, Shen Xi came forward to express his views on Chen Xianzhang's past, and tried his best to praise him, praising him as "opening the door alone, transcendent and extraordinary", "preaching Confucius and Mencius for 3,000 years, learning from Shao Cheng and Zhu's first branch", and raised Chen Xianzhang to a new height.

After a high-profile memorial service, he appeared in a low-key manner, and people naturally knew that the organizer behind the memorial service was Shen Xi, especially he vigorously admired Chen Xianzhang's academic achievements, but he deliberately maintained a modest and cautious attitude.

Liang Chu's status in the Zhan Mansion is rising, if the history does not change, in the early years of Zhengde, Liang Chu will be promoted to the Ministry of Shangshu, participate in the compilation of the "Filial Piety Record", and then add the title of Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar, enter the cabinet to participate in the machine service, after a few years, as a scholar of Huagai Palace, and was awarded the title of young master, prince Taifu, young master, prince and prince, to Zhengde ten years, the first assistant Yang Tinghe returned to his hometown to mourn, and Liang Chu will be appointed to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet.

In the Baisha School, Liang Chu's status is second only to Chen Xianzhang, and there are countless disciples and disciples.

Being able to get the recognition of Liang Chu, whether in officialdom or in the Confucian academic circles, is of great benefit to Shen Xi.
