Chapter 831: A New Beginning (Part II)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

In addition to the series of factors listed above, there is also a point that cannot be ignored, that is, this group of students is actually the same as the current emperor.

As the emperor who had the greatest influence on Longqing, Shen Mo devoted himself to this group of students during his years in Suzhou. In order to cultivate their sense of responsibility of 'taking the world as their own responsibility', in addition to teaching them moral articles and solving questions to take exams, Shen Mo often reads the newspaper for them, explains state affairs and people's conditions to them, and teaches them how to establish a correct world view and methodology. And often encourage them, always have the heart of serving the country, and do not fall into the clouds!

Just as Shen Lian influenced his life and reshaped his outlook on life, values and worldview, Shen Mo also profoundly influenced this group of young students, imperceptibly, making them a group of readers unlike any previous era.

They are determined to forge ahead, they are willing to do things, they want to make meritorious contributions, they have a broad vision, they are active in thinking, and they are unrestrained. Their pursuit of material things is far from that of other bureaucrats, and they focus on the national economy and people's livelihood...... Of course, that's an afterthought. But now, they have a better understanding of the country's internal and external difficulties than other years in the same year, and have carried out more rational thinking, so they are more comfortable answering this kind of question.

At least, it is easier to get the resonance of Longqing if the teacher is out of one mén.

But ordinary people will not delve into the deep meaning, but will blindly deify Suzhou Fuxue and deify the 'great' educator of Shen Mo.

That's another story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Return to the Forbidden City. The ceremony has ended, and the new scholars are about to start a series of activities such as the most glorious parade of officials in this life, the banquet of Qionglin, and the erection of famous monuments.

The officials who came to watch the ceremony retreated to Yuguan.

After leaving the emperor's pole, under the congratulations of all the officials, the four cabinet ministers, and a cadre of ministers, went back to the Huiji mén.

Shen Mo and Chen Yiqin walked together, and as soon as they said two words of congratulations, they heard someone behind them shouting: "Zhongtang, please stay!" ”

Shen Mo looked back, it turned out to be Hai Rui, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lao Chen, you go first......"

Chen Yiqin smiled sympathetically and left him behind.

"What's the matter?" Shen Mo stood on his feet and looked at Hai Rui with a smile.

"May I ask Lord Zhongtang, when will my resignation be approved?" Hai Rui asked expressionlessly.

"Resignation? This one...... I haven't been in the capital for a while. Shen Mo pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know much about this." ”

"Xiaguan has submitted nine resignations in a row since November last year, and in half a year." Hai Rui didn't believe that Shen Mo could not know, but the other party was the prime minister, and if he didn't say clearly, he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only endure and say: "But the ministry didn't approve it, saying that the cabinet didn't give the vote, and I looked for the cabinet again, but who knew that the cabinet said that I would not be able to give me approval until Shen Gelao, who was in charge of the criminal name, came back." ”

"I haven't been on duty since September." Shen Mo spread his hands and said, "There are too many things that happened during this period, let's talk about it when I go back and see." ”

This is pure cheating, in the past, Hai Rui did not have the same knowledge as him, but after nine resignation letters in a row, if there is no result in this matter, this matter will become a joke, so he took out another resignation letter from his sleeve and said: "I still have one here, my lord will approve it!" ”

"Nonsense!" Shen Mo saw that he was entangled, which caused all the officials to stop and watch from afar, so he had to pull down his face and say: "How can you be a dignified four-grade master, even if you have made up your mind, I can't regard it as child's play!" ”

Being trained by him, Hai Rui lost his temper, after all, in front of everyone, what Shen Mo said was good, and he was not good at having a casual attack. But he didn't let go of his hand, and said stubbornly: "Then I'll go to Wenyuan Pavilion with Zhongtang, and wait for your approval before leaving." ”

"Hey......" encountered such a superlative, and Shen Mo could only sigh helplessly, and said, "Come on." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as the two returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, someone waited at Mén's mouth and said, "Pavilion Elder, Shoufu please go to the main hall for a meeting." ”

Shen Mo gave Hai Rui a helpless expression and said, "If it's okay, go to my duty room and wait first." ”

"Xia Guan is fine every day." Hai Rui replied in a sullen voice, and under the leadership of the scholar in the middle school, he went to his duty room first.

Shen Mo dressed up and came to the main hall, only to see Li, Chen, and Zhang all waiting for him. It's just that the seat of the old Xu Ge was sat by Li Chūnfang, and he really felt a little unaccustomed.

Silent himself has also moved from the original third position to the second auxiliary position...... Thinking that when he first entered the cabinet two years ago, he was one place behind Zhang Juzheng than he is sitting now, and now he can rise to second because Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Guo Pu, who were in front of him, were all ousted from power...... If you want to progress, you have to get people, and if you don't want to be squeezed down, you have to get people, and this kind of hellish relationship design can certainly make it impossible for the cabinet ministers to become bigger. But it will also make the cabinet ministers, and use their precious jīng power and làng expenses in the endless hún fight, what is the benefit of the country and the people?

Hu Siluàn thought about it, and then heard Li Chūn Fang cough lightly and said: "This is this year, the first time the four of us have arrived, and it can be regarded as the first plenary meeting of the cabinet." The three of them nodded in agreement, and Li Chūnfang continued: "In the past few months that Shen Ge Lao has been going south, many things have happened in the capital. The main thing is a series of personnel changes. Speaking of this, his gaze swept over the other three, and his mouth moved a few times before he said slowly: "First of all, it is Xu Ge Lao Zhishi, I am in the ...... phase" said with a complicated face: "But I want to state that first, my own talent and virtue are not enough to dominate the world, now it is just a transition, and I can let the virtuous ...... at any time"

This is simply the weakest prime minister's inauguration declaration ever, which makes the faces of the other three people a little weird...... Isn't it obvious that ambitious people will continue to fight?

Li Chūnfang also seemed not in a high mood, and was not happy that he was finally a supreme minister, and then said: "Also, now that many ministries and courtyards have changed new officials, in order to achieve a smooth transition, please put more effort into the ministries and courtyards you are in charge of. ”

After the three of them nodded in response, he said: "Third, there are only four of us left in the cabinet, and it is necessary to push two or three more scholars into the cabinet to fill the vacancies after the departure of several cabinet elders." ”

This is also the proper meaning of the question, naturally no one objected, after saying these three things, Li Chūnfang looked at Shen Mo and said: "Now that Shen Ge Lao is back, Chen Xiang and Zhang Xiang can also unload their burdens......"

Shen Mo could feel Li Chūnfang's estrangement from him, but this was normal...... The relationship between fellow villagers and teachers and students is the two main ways of forming gangs in the officialdom of this era. Fellow villagers can support each other and communicate with each other, while teachers and students are a closer relationship between the upper and lower levels, and once established, the teacher must pave the way for the student's career and provide protection during his weak period. The obligation of students is to share the worries of the teacher in the early stage, solve the problems for the teacher when they mature, and even provide protection for the teacher after the teacher, so as to form a kind of 'officialdom father and son' relationship, once established, it is unbreakable, otherwise it will be attacked by the group......

The reason for this phenomenon is actually the result of the unconsciousness of civil officials against imperial power. China's 2,000-year-old political system has always been the king and scholars share the world, and then the emperor is extremely reluctant to admit this, Song Taizu canceled the prime minister and sat down with the prime minister, Ming Taizu simply revoked the position of prime minister, and his descendants set up court rods, wantonly insulting and beating civil officials, which bī civil officials had to hold together, with the strength of the group to protect themselves.

Mén was born and the lord of the throne, which was a form of alliance that the emperors of the past hated and had no choice but to acquiesce. For those ministers in high positions, whether or not they can become the main examiner of the examination is a key factor related to his status in the rivers and lakes, the power of the court, and the longevity of his power, which has always been a must for high-ranking officials and officials.

After so many years of repeated struggles, in the end, with the expansion of the power of the cabinet, the six ministries and nine secretaries were finally suppressed, and it was decided that the main examination of the examination must be held by the cabinet scholars, or the scholars of the Ministry of Rites, who must enter the cabinet. Since then, the overwhelming advantage over the six departments has been completely established, so that the original equality has become the current relationship between superiors and subordinates.

However, there is only one big competition in three years, and there are many wolves in the cabinet, so each person only serves as the chief examiner for one term, which has also become an indestructible rule, even if it is as strong as Yan Song and as long as Xu Jie, it has not broken this exception...... As for why Xu Jie has students in the two subjects of Renwu and Bingchen, it is because of Li Chūnfang and Zhang Juzheng, who happened to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and taught in the Shuchang Pavilion in person. Therefore, to be precise, it was the Hanlin of the Renwu Branch and all the Jinshi of the Bingchen Branch who established the teacher-student relationship with him.

All in all, it is a chance to become the main examiner of the examination, and there is only one time in this life, and the result is almost all of them...... I believe you must be able to understand Li Chūnfang's mood at this moment.

However, the reason why Shen Mo kept him was to make him the nominal head of this department...... When he was in Nanjing, he found that Suzhou had been sharpening his sword for ten years, and he would inevitably shine in this subject. If you, as a teacher, go to the main exam, the better the student's grades, the more people will think that he is cheating, which is not good for both teachers and students. In order to avoid ruining this grand event, Shen Mo first took the initiative to give up the main exam, and then declined the emperor's kindness to invite him to serve as the official of the palace examination, completely avoiding suspicion.

As for whether he would make a wedding dress for Li Chūnfang, Shen Mo was not worried at all. Because the so-called seat teacher and mén are born, one has no grace to teach karma, and the other has no relative affection day and night, but because of the fate of an exam, he happened to be selected. But what's the point? The exam is based on your own ability, and the examiner doesn't know who he took when he marks the paper, but he just happened to have a 'medium' written on your paper.

To put it bluntly, the so-called mén birth lord is just a reason to find a backer for the rookies who have just entered the officialdom, so that the prime ministers have a chance to openly rein in the party. In fact, in the minds of the students, this so-called teacher is far inferior to the real teacher who teaches them and understands their karma. It's just that scholars don't fall to the point of failing to succeed in repeated trials or being abandoned by officialdom, and who will look at those talents with uncertain futures, let alone teach them in a down-to-earth manner.

Therefore, students can only put the real teacher in their hearts and turn to worship the examiner who is in a high position as a teacher...... Unveiling the glamorous cloak of this teacher-student relationship, underneath is actually just a vulgar interest jiāo exchange.

But Silence's pioneering move, and his current status, have dramatically changed this bad habit...... When the real teacher is in a high position, he can give everything that the teacher can give, and he can give what the teacher can't give, how can the students carry him behind his back and recognize other teachers?

Something that makes people laugh and doesn't make sense is something that no one would do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, no one knows that after the announcement of the imperial list this time, it will trigger a series of extremely far-reaching changes, and eventually even affect the country's political system. Even the initiator of all this did not think so far-reaching, and after the meeting, he returned to his duty room, where there was still a Haigang Peak who was bent on leaving waiting for him.

When he went back, Hai Rui was really waiting there, but when he saw that his bookcase, round table, and hospitality chairs were full of documents waiting for approval, he couldn't help patting his forehead and groaning: "I'm not Pang Shiyuan, don't torture me like this......"

It took a moment for Ha Rui to react, but he still kept his face strained, and presented the resignation letter: "My lord, can you read it now?" ”

Shen Mo reluctantly took it, looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the reception room." ”

So the two went to the place where they had last met, and after they sat down, Shen Mo unfolded Hai Rui's resignation. And Hai Rui was sitting down, waiting for the moment when he finished reading.

Shen Mo looked very slowly, not because he paid much attention to the resignation, but because he was trying to convince Hai Rui...... He can't let this demon slaying sword go, the reform of the Ming Dynasty needs a warrior like Gao Gong, holding such a divine sword, to open up a new world.

If you push Gao Gong to the front desk, you have to match him with such a divine soldier, otherwise it will be in vain. We must leave him until Gao Gong comes back, and I believe that Gao Suqing will focus on the overall situation and not care about Hai Rui's offense at the beginning.

Partition -

Pulled farther and farther by the front, and clinging to the chrysanthemum huā by the back, alas...... Who still has a commuter pass!!!
