Chapter 521: The Future of Tanhualang (9th Update)
This is the first lesson that Shen Xi gave to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, although it is said to be a story, but it tells the history of the Song Dynasty in general, and the most important thing is to tell Zhu Houzhao a truth, even if you are the prince, if you become the emperor in the future, you may not be able to perpetuate the throne.
The prince is young, and he is not interested in the stereotypical "Four Books" and "Five Classics", which is similar to the mentality of ordinary children, Professor Shen Xi's method is quite novel, but it seems very inappropriate to quote the matter of promoting weaving, Shen Xi knows that this may cause him trouble, but compared to teaching the prince, this trouble is not important.
Maybe the emperor knew about this and probably understood his good intentions!
At the end of the day, Shen Xi only talked about the promotion of weaving and the general outline of "History of the Song Dynasty", and did not say anything else. When he came out of the Fang Palace, Jin Gui sighed: "Shen Zhongyun is too reckless, teaching the prince knowledge, why do you need to go around in such a big circle, if the prince is obsessed with frolicking because of this, I will wait...... Alas! ”
Jin Gui belongs to the middle school, most of the people who serve in the Zhan Mansion have the same mentality as Jin Gui, when a monk hits the clock for a day, it is not the turn of one or two people to worry about the quality of the prince's knowledge, as long as he completes his own work. But Shen Xi is obviously a little aggressive, in Jin Gui's opinion, there will be no good fruit to eat.
Shen Xi knew very well that if he taught Zhu Houzhao in an ordinary way, the future result would only coincide with the development of history, and Zhu Houzhao would become a playful and unenterprising emperor, who was empty of his wisdom and the good fortune left by his father, and squandered his life arbitrarily, but after his death, he did not even leave an heir, and he cheapened his cousins in vain.
Shen Xi couldn't explain these words, could he tell people that he had great magical powers and could predict the future?
After Shen Xi became a lecturer, his work would be much lighter than before, because the lecturer gave lectures to the prince in shifts, and nine lecturers, even if some of them asked for leave, it would take a few days to take a turn, and Shen Xi was not a banquet official, so he didn't need to speak for Emperor Hongzhi, so he had to go to the East Palace every two or three days.
The rest of the time, that is, to sort out the lectures, about the living records of the prince in charge of Right Zhongyun, and the revision of the book in charge of the historian of the Hanlin Academy, there is no need for him to worry about it for the time being, but he is not in his position, and it is quite easy to think about it.
Shen Xi was thinking about what to do in the next two days, when he just returned to Zhan Shifu, he was stopped by Wang Wei.
From Wang Wei's not very good-looking face, Shen Xi knew that the other party knew what he was teaching the prince today.
"Since Shen Zhongyun is the prince's teacher, he should abide by the way of being a teacher, how can he abolish the prince because of his private interests and make the prince's studies run wild?" And when the king came up, he reprimanded him.
Shen Xi said: "Bachelor Wang's words, the student probably understands what it means, but since he is a teacher, there should be a method of teaching, and the student just adopts a method that is not accepted by Bachelor Wang." ”
Wang Wei's face was gloomy: "Since you are preaching the four books for the prince, you are not allowed to dabble in others, which is the responsibility of the speaker." From tomorrow onwards, you will go with both of you every time you give a lecture, and you will no longer need to teach the prince alone during the year! After saying that, he rushed away.
Shen Xi secretly thought, do you think I like to teach bear children? If you hadn't been going to the afternoon court temporarily, would I have gone to give a lecture to the prince alone?
But it's good to think about it, every time I go in the future, I will go with at least two lecturers, then he has the same responsibilities as before as You Zhongyun, and he is responsible for understanding what other lecturers are talking about, and even the preparation and recording are omitted, and it is more comfortable to eat with the side?
But Shen Xi was somewhat unwilling in his heart.
It's not because of Wang Wei's reprimand and complaint, but because he feels that he is simply wasting his time, teaching a disobedient bear child to learn all day long.
Today, he may have used a little trick to calm the bear child and let him listen to a history lesson, but this is still 108,000 miles away from teaching the prince well.
Shen Xi felt that even if he really taught the prince to be a promising young man in the future, but after all, he was the prince, and in the future, a bunch of ministers around him would offer playthings and beauties, and use various means to attract the attention of the prince.
Teach the prince well, this is a false proposition in itself, and it is impossible to achieve it at all!
When I returned home, I didn't see Xie Yun'er come out to greet her.
Shen Xi passed Lin Dai's side first, but he still ate the closed door, so he had to go to Xie Yun'er's room to see it. Xie Yun'er had just finished bathing, changing into loose clothes and grooming, Shen Xi came in, Xie Yun'er stepped forward and showed Shen Xi her new clothes, and said with a smile: "Do you think Xianggong looks good?" ”
Shen Xi wanted to reach out and grab Xie Yun'er's wrist, but he didn't want to grab it, Xie Yun'er's face was slightly red, "Xianggong has just finished his business, he should be tired at this time, and the concubine will ask Xiaoshan to boil water to wash away the fatigue for Xianggong." ”
What Shen Xi thought was that it would be nice to take a mandarin duck bath with Xie Yun'er.
It's a pity that Xie Yun'er is a new wife, and she is far from being so emotional, and many things still need to be slowly taught by him, a psychologically old father-in-law.
Xiu'er over there had just boiled the hot water, and before Shen Xi could get his clothes, Zhu Shan hurried over with a letter of worship, Shen Xi couldn't predict in advance who would come to visit him, a powerless Hanlin official, and after reading the post, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it was Xie Qian's second son Xie Pi.
"Xianggong, this Lord Xie, what is the official residence in the court?" Xie Yun'er thought that Shen Xi's colleagues came to visit, and moved from Shen Xi to the Xie family's old house, and no court officials had come yet, which was a flourishing appearance, and she wanted to do her duty as a housewife to entertain guests, but she didn't know where this Xie Pi came from.
Shen Xi smiled: "He's just a student, and he hasn't been promoted yet, but his father is ...... is the old Xie Ge in the court, and the lady is still the family. ”
Xie Yun'er whispered: "Phew, who is from whom's family, Xie Ge is always from Yuyao, we are from Tingzhou, and we don't have anything to do with each other." ”
It's not related, but in a hodgepodge place like the capital, it's normal for the same surname to investigate each other's details.
Xie Qian knows Xie Yun'er's family background, Xie Yun'er also knows Xie Qian's ancestral hometown, and in the near future, there will be a famous minister surnamed Xie to the capital, which is Xie Duo, who has been appointed by the emperor as the country's son to supervise the wine, and Shen Xi's real Bole.
Shen Xi went to the front hall to meet the guests, Xie Yun'er couldn't go as a family member, she still went to the kitchen first and told Xiu'er to reheat the water, so that Shen Xi could have hot water to bathe after seeing the guests.
When Shen Xi arrived at the living room in the front yard, he saw Ning Er with a smile on his face and led Xie Pi, who was dressed in Confucian clothes and polite, to the door of the house.
"The student has seen Shen Hanlin."
When Xie Pi saw Shen Xi, he smiled and bowed his hand to the student.
Shen Xi replied: "Brother Xie is outside, this is not the official court, you and I can just sit together and gossip." In terms of seniority, I'm afraid Brother Xie is above me. ”
With Xie Qian's age, he is almost the same as Shen Xi's grandfather, Xie Pi can be regarded as Shen Xi's "elder", but the two families have no blood relationship, Shen Xi and Xie Qian are ministers in the same hall, Shen Xi calls himself a student in front of Xie Qian, and Xie Pi calls himself a student in front of him, he has no formal apprenticeship, just a title, you can talk about it anything.
Xie Pi said: "I can't make a decision, Shen Hanlin is now a lecturer in the East Palace, it is really an honor for students to come to visit as a late student, how dare they stay long?" ”
Shen Xi didn't discuss too much with Xie Pi on etiquette, and directly invited him to sit down in the living room, Ning Er quickly came over to serve tea, no one left, stood respectfully beside Shen Xi, and looked at Xie Pi with a smile.
Obviously, Xie Pi is much better than Wang Lingzhi in terms of appearance and character, and he is noble, but he is just ......
Shen Xi was a little helpless, Ning'er, Ning'er, don't be so obsessed, okay? When everyone is like me, will they marry a woman a few years older?
Ning'er and Xie Pi are not a good match, because she is not worthy of the second young master in the old mansion at all, and her age is not comparable, Xie Pi is only seventeen years old, and Ning'er is almost twenty-two, if Ning'er hadn't signed a deed of sale, the government would have forcibly married her.
What's more, Xie Pi will be a Tanhualang in the future.
"Why did Brother Xie come here today?" Shen Xi ignored Ning Er, who was like a nymphomaniac, and asked Xie Pi.
Xie Pi didn't notice that there was a woman next to him who was delusional about him, and at this time his eyes were all on Shen Xi, "The students are quite impressed by Shen Hanlin's talents, and have always hoped to have the opportunity to come to visit. ”
Shen Xi noticed just now that the painting scroll Xie Pi was holding in his hand was originally thinking that it was some kind of celebrity calligraphy, but after listening to him, he realized that it was Wang Meng's landscape.
Shen Xi immediately remembered that he had seen a Wang Meng landscape painting at Xie Qian's house, and it was one of the two paintings he had sold to Han Xie through a calligraphy and painting shop, and Han Xie had used those two paintings to cling to the powerful, one for Lin Zhongye, and the other for Nanjing when he left office.
Xie Pi handed the painting up, Shen Xi opened it and looked at it, and it was really the one he had faked.
Even if it wasn't Han Xie who directly gave the painting to Xie Qian, it was also the person who was attached to Han Xie who gave the painting away, Shen Xi saw the fake he painted when he was young to raise tuition fees, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and now it is quite commemorative for him to spend several times the price to buy it back.
"This is Wang Meng's landscape...... It looks thoughtful, isn't it...... Brother Xie thinks it's a fake? ”
Shen Xi will not admit that this is a fake, this painting has Li Dongyang's inscription on it, Xie Qian also wrote an inscription on it and hung the painting at home to show people, which shows that the two scholars before and after did not realize that this is a fake painting, and the possibility of Xie Pi knowing is also very low.
Shen Xi thought to himself that this might just be an excuse for Xie Pi to come to visit. Xie Pi came this time, mainly because he was in Xie Mansion, Xie Pi had a cheerful personality, and when he saw a young champion like Shen Xi, he admired him, so he wanted to make friends, but he was afraid that Shen Xi would be arrogant and refuse to see him.
Xie Pi said with a smile: "The student just has some small problems, and I want to ask Shen Hanlin for advice, I wonder if Shen Hanlin can give the student a chance?" ”
Shen Xi hesitated and said, "I don't really understand what Brother Xie meant. ”
Xie Pi had a little pleading on his face: "That's the case, the students have a few classmates, and they admire Shen Hanlin very much, and the students once boasted in front of them that they could invite Shen Hanlin as a guest, and there is a literary meeting today, so they took the liberty to invite them." ”
