Zhu Youzhu was slightly stunned, Shen Xi's name has often been heard by him recently, and among so many courtiers, Shen Xi has received too much attention as the new champion.

Emperor Hongzhi originally thought that the gentleman who could make his son ask for advice so humbly should be a respected old lecturer, but he didn't expect that it would be Shen Xi, the youngest of all the lecturers.

Empress Zhang begged happily: "Your Majesty, go in and see the emperor?" ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head slightly, and said: "It's rare for the prince to learn, so don't go in and disturb him, and when he finishes his studies, let him enter the palace to ask the queen for peace." ”

Empress Zhang smiled and nodded...... Her life is really not picky, the mother of a country, can still enjoy the joy of a family of three, and even her mother's family has been treated favorably by the emperor, what else can you ask for?

However, before leaving, Empress Zhang was still a little reluctant...... After all, his son can't always be by his side, although he hasn't left the palace, but this kind of feeling of worrying about his son is very uncomfortable.

As for the apse of the Chufang Palace, Shen Xi gave Zhu Houzhao a lecture for about an hour, and finally let Zhu Houzhao stop a series of questions.

Originally, I wanted to tell the prince about history, but now it seems that it is also good to occasionally talk to him about geography.

The bear child was not hungry, but Shen Xi himself was hungry, so he offered to rest.

"Sir, give me this picture, I think...... If it's okay, just take it out and see. In the end, Zhu Houzhao was very interested in Shen Xi's hand-drawn map and wanted to take it for himself.

Shen Xi originally wanted to give the map to Zhu Houzhao, but then he thought about it, if such a thing is seen, it will definitely attract criticism, so it's better not to bother yourself.

Shen Xi said: "The prince wants to see it, I can draw it for you on the spot in the future, as for the collection...... I don't think it's necessary. ”

Zhu Houzhao wrinkled his nose, and didn't say that he must let Shen Xi give it to him, but he said indignantly: "Hmph, stingy ghost!" ”

I went to eat separately and had to continue my classes in the afternoon.

Shen Xi came out of the apse of the Fang Palace, and only then did he learn the news that Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang had come from the mouth of the little twister, and he was a little stunned...... It is not known what the emperor's attitude was towards the prince's study of geography, but it is obvious that what he taught was "beyond the curriculum".

In an era of academic rigour, anything that did not conform to the Confucian way was not accepted.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "If you can not teach it in the future, you should not teach it, and you may not be able to cause trouble one day." ”

In the afternoon, Shen Xi still started to talk about the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, but because the content was boring, Zhu Houzhao began to doze off before he heard half of it, Shen Xi did not wake up the prince in fear, and finished his preparation step by step, and the day's work was over.

If you think about it, in fact, this kind of teaching a day and four days off is also very good, at least you don't have to worry about not being able to do errands, and you don't have to sleep all night because of intrigue.

However, this errand is more and more like eating and waiting for death, is it really necessary to wait for the bear child to ascend the throne, and then wait for the opportunity to climb up...... And before that, can only follow the trend of becoming an old pedant in the eyes of others? It's too monotonous and boring!

Returning to Zhan Shifu from the East Palace, Shen Xi received a message that Xie Duo sent someone to inform him to go to Guozixue at noon, probably because he had something important to discuss.

Recently, apart from printing books, there seems to be nothing else to bother Xie Duo to invite.

Shen Xi has never been to Guozixue since he was admitted to the top prize, but he knows that his name has been engraved on the Jinshi Monument, which can be regarded as a name in history.

This time to revisit the old place, although it is the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Xi has no interest in visiting, because the layout of the school at this time is too monotonous, except for the house is the courtyard, students can be seen everywhere, all male students have no female students, there is no wonderful scenery at all.

At the end of class in the afternoon, there were many inmates who returned to the dormitory, but Shen Xi, who was wearing Confucian clothes, walked in the crowd, and no one paid attention to him, even if he was famous, but not many people really knew him.

When he was about to arrive at the office where Xie Duo worked, Shen Xi met an acquaintance...... After Shen Xi saw this person, he couldn't help but turn his head sideways and pretend not to see it, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was a fellow villager, so it was really unreasonable not to say hello.

This person is Wu Xingyu, the son of Fujian Tingzhou Mansion in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, who tried Yayuan in Fujian Township and studied in Taixue.

"Brother Wu, it's been a long time." Out of politeness, Shen Xi took the initiative to say hello, and at this time, Wu Xingyu's pace slowed down, and his expression was a little complicated when he looked at Shen Xi.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Xingyu can be promoted at the age of sixteen and enter Taixue at the age of seventeen, which is already a great thing, and it is too harsh to want to be a jinshi at the age of seventeen.

Originally, Wu Xingyu didn't force anything, but after Shen Xi won the champion, his thoughts changed...... Why is Shen Xi the champion, I can't even get a jinshi? He must be better than me?

"I've seen Shen Zhongyun."

Wu Xingyu bowed, but he obviously didn't know that Shen Xi, the right Zhongyun, had already been promoted to the right Yude. In Wu Xingyu's opinion, Shen Xi was able to enter Zhan Shifu in less than a year, and he was already promoted quickly, but unexpectedly, Shen Xi's promotion speed exceeded his imagination.

Shen Xi did not correct Wu Xingyu because it would hurt the other party's self-esteem. With the little grudge between the two, it has not yet reached the point of retaliation.

In Shen Xi's opinion, the things that Wu Xingyu did before were at most done under jealousy and hatred for him, and he didn't do anything hurtful. It can only be said that Wu Xingyu is a little cautious and not worth dating.

Xie Duo's office was located in the sacrificial wine room of Jingyi Pavilion in the third courtyard of Guozijian, and when Shen Xi arrived, Xie Duo was in a meeting with the Doctor of the Five Classics and the teaching assistant, and Shen Xi could only wait outside. When the meeting was over, a group of Confucian officials from the eighth rank dispersed, and Shen Xi entered inside.

Xie Duo had already put the tables and chairs back in place at this time, and let Shen Xi sit down and talk.

"It's a little messy, but this is the place where Guozixue and preaching and teaching, I hope you can come and be a gentleman." Xie Duo said with a smile.

Shen Xi thought to himself, Liu Daxia wanted to transfer himself to the household department, and now Xie Duo wanted to transfer himself to Guozijian? However, Guozijian does not have a suitable position, except for the sacrificial wine is from the fourth grade, as the second-in-command of the business is only the sixth grade, unless there is a part-time job, otherwise it can be regarded as a demotion.

Shen Xi shook his head: "The student is fourteen years old, and his knowledge is shallow, but he has no qualifications to teach and educate people. ”

Xie Duo pointed at Shen Xi and said with a smile: "You are a lecturer in the East Palace, you actually said such a thing, you should teach the prince to learn to deal with errands?" ”

Xie Duo didn't know what he really thought about Shen Xi...... Shen Xi gave the crown prince a lesson, and he was really dealing with official business, but this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, otherwise what would the emperor think when he heard it?

Seeing that Xie Duo was about to pour tea for himself, Shen Xi hurriedly took the teapot and took the initiative to serve tea to Xie Duo. Xie Duo sighed: "Speaking of which, I have a lot of relationship with you, but I have never drunk the tea you respected. ”

Xie Duo said here that drinking Shen Xi's tea is similar to the meaning of accepting Shen Xi to the door.

Shen Xi said modestly: "I'm afraid that the students are not qualified!" ”

Xie Duo didn't say anything more about this issue, and instead said: "I called you here, in addition to letting you go to Guozi to learn and walk around and feel the learning atmosphere here, I also want to tell you about printing books...... Speaking of which, the old man is already stretched thin, but there are still people who keep asking the old man for books, which is really difficult to deal with. ”

Shen Xi said: "Books belong to students, so it's better for students to pay for the money." In addition, the books may be listed in the bookstore for others to buy, so that the capital can be recovered for the teacher. ”

Xie Duo waved his hand: "No, if you want to have a relationship with the smell of copper, it's really not what I want." But I've heard that some people in the market are copying your books, apparently for fun...... Alas, the way of this world! ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, I wrote "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" as a pastime to pass the boring time, and I was stunned that your old man regarded it as knowledge, and different people saw different things from the book.

Shen Xi asked, "I don't know how many copies will be printed this time?" ”

"It's not much, three hundred volumes should be enough, in addition to giving them away, you can also keep some in the north and south of the country, and show them to the prisoners, which may be helpful to their studies." Xie Duo said, "In terms of silver, I will give a part of it, and the rest will ...... You can only pay for it first......"

Shen Xi thought to himself, Xie Duo really has enough friends, and six hundred copies have been printed before and after, so many people have sent them? However, since it was Xie Duo's request, he had no reason to refuse, Xie Duo did not print the book for his own selfishness, but to help him establish prestige in the Confucian world at any cost.

Xie Duo obviously didn't expect that Shen Xi would secretly produce silver when he printed books before, he thought that Shen Xi didn't know much about these vulgar things, and said that he would let the servants go to Shen Xi's mansion to get the silver later, but in fact, Shen Xi could print the books and periodicals when he turned around, and he could even sell the goods in the bookstore by himself, but he was afraid that Xie Duo would blame him.

After talking about the printing of the book, Xie Duotu suddenly sighed: "Shen Xi, I heard that His Majesty is going to take the examination for the prince's knowledge, and I will also enter the palace as an examiner when the time comes...... Among so many lecturers in the East Palace, except for you, they are all highly respected people, you don't have psychological baggage, just teach the prince well. ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Master Xie just wants to say, I'm just joining in the fun, don't expect too much, right?" ”

Xie Duo shook his head and said, "That's not the case, everyone has a chance, and you will naturally be no exception, and even more so you have to work hard." The lecturer of the East Palace, on weekdays, just teaches the prince knowledge, and has little influence, if you want to establish a reputation in learning, it is better to be a lecturer in front of the Son of Heaven......"

Shen Xi knew that Xie Duo was sincere in helping him, and this time he was telling him that if he wanted to establish a name in the Confucian academic circles, being the emperor's lecturer was much more promising than being the prince's lecturer, and the lessons taught to the prince were only the most basic knowledge in the subset of classics and history, and he could give lectures to the emperor, which was advanced knowledge.

As a Japanese lecturer, he can basically be regarded as the teacher of half of the Son of Heaven, and in the future, whether it is in the imperial court or among the children of Confucianism, he can already be regarded as a master, and he will be respected wherever he goes.

Shen Xi said: "I'm only afraid of students, I don't have that qualification, right?" ”

Xie Duo pointed at Shen Xi: "Why bother to be presumptuous? You are young, and the road ahead is very long, but as long as you have real talent and learning, you should be known. I want you to become an official, isn't it also to become famous one day? ”

"But don't expect me to favor you, just do what you want, the prince is not an ordinary scholar after all, just knowing four books and writing a good article will not be a saint tomorrow."

Shen Xi very much agrees with what Xie Duo said, teaching the prince to read, not just teaching the content of the book.

After all, he is a person who has devoted his life to teaching, and his understanding of education is more enlightened than that of those old pedants who are full of sour smell.

"Students remember the teachings of Master Xie." Shen Xi stood up and saluted respectfully.

"In front of me, you don't always need to call yourself a student, if you really become a lecturer in front of the Son of Heaven one day, I really can't stand." Xie Duo did not speak with the rigidity of ordinary Confucianism, which made Shen Xi feel like a spring breeze and feel more cordial.

Before parting, Xie Duo reminded again: "It's one thing to do learning, but some miscellaneous ...... Don't dabble too deeply, or it will be harmful to you! ”

Shen Xi thought about it for a while, and then understood that what Xie Duo said was something he was preaching about the study of the mind.
