Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Epitome of the Imperial Court
Shi Bufan didn't choose to go to Qin's house for a "trial marriage" in the end, if you don't know, you still think that Shi Bufan is going to "get rich"! And Miss Qin also came to Shi Bufan's house to live temporarily, which can be regarded as a so-called "trial marriage". Of course, Shi Bufan and Miss Qin, according to the customs of this era, did not break through the last step. Even when I go to bed at night, I sleep in separate beds and don't sleep in the same bed. As for this Chang'an, in addition to coming back to meet every day, the two sides are also doing their own things at other times.
Shi Bufan did not interfere in Miss Qin's Qin family's industry, and Miss Qin did not interfere in Shi Bufan's work. Because Shi Bufan would not use his influence to help the Qin family get more industries, and Shi Bufan did not need the Qin family's funds to help him, so the two sides did not interfere with each other and did their own work. In this way, two months have passed. In these two months, it has reached the cold winter wax moon, and the weather has gradually become colder.
But even if the weather is cold, the job still has to work, and Shi Bufan still has to go to teach those aristocratic students. These students also chose to accept Shi Bufan as a teacher, and Shi Bufan can teach them a lot, from various classics to historical knowledge, and even Taoism and Buddhism also know a little. Because Shi Bufan was too "erudite", they were also surprised. But they don't know, not to mention the dozen or so master's degrees in the later generations, even in that Internet era, isn't it easy to know what knowledge?
However, today, after Shi Bufan came to the classroom, he heard some words that made him frown.
Yuwen Shiji's grandson Yuwen Changyan said to Wei Shuyu: "Wei Shuyu, your father Wei Zheng is the prince washing horses, so there are so many horses in the palace, how many horses has your father washed?" ”
Wei Shuyu immediately looked at this Yuwen Changyan with a burst of annoyance, and Yuwen Changyan was obviously very proud, as if he had caught a loophole. However, this Wei Shuyu obviously didn't answer, and Shi Bufan, who was just about to come in for class outside, obviously frowned.
Because this Wei Shuyu's father is Wei Zheng, the current Wei Zheng is the horse washing of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and this prince washing the horse is responsible for sorting out some books in the prince's East Palace, and his status is actually the librarian of the East Palace. But in fact, this Wei Zheng is the advisor of the crown prince Li Jiancheng. According to the original history, this Wei Zheng was a well-known counselor. Of course, Shi Bufan, as a person who is deeply skeptical of history, does not believe that Wei Zheng is so dedicated to the country, and even after he died, he was even smashed by history The tombstone.
However, Shi Bufan now found out that this Yuwen Changyan actually said this to Wei Zheng, obviously deliberately ridiculing. This actually comes from an allusion, during the Qin Dynasty, there was an official position called "Prince Xian Ma", this official position refers to the prince's attendants, who are responsible for leading the way before the prince goes out.
But later, I didn't know which pig-headed historian was the same, so I wrote a little more about this "Prince Xian Ma" and turned it into "Washing Horses". Later dynasties will make mistakes and directly name this official position as the crown prince washing horses. Of course, this prince is no longer the one responsible for guiding the prince, but has become the person in charge of books and archives, so this is also a change in different eras.
But this horse washing is really not very good, and it sounds like it is brushing the horses. But this official position handed down from history makes them all have to accept it. But now that someone was deliberately asked like this, that Wei Shuyu didn't know how to get it.
At this time, Shi Bufan walked in and said with a smile: "When I came in just now, I saw that Wei Zheng was indeed washing the horse, and it seemed that the horse washing was quite cheerful." I asked him, how is the horse washing? He replied, "The Great Sima has been washed, and the Sima is washing, but it is not yet clean." ”
Everyone heard Shi Bufan walk in and say this, and then everyone thought carefully about Shi Bufan's words, and then those older children heard this, at first they didn't know what the profound meaning was, but soon suddenly those older children immediately laughed.
As for those young children, they obviously don't quite understand what is funny about Shi Bufan, it seems that the joke is a bit high, and ordinary people can't understand the meaning of it at all.
"Hahahaha, yes, my father is washing the horse, Sima is still washing, but it's not clean yet, wash it hard! Hahahaha......" Wei Shuyu laughed.
That Yuwen Changyan's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, obviously very angry and depressed. Because Shi Bufan's words just now were actually secretly sarcastic. Shi Bufan said that Wei Zheng went to "wash the horse", but it turned out that the big Sima had been cleaned, and Sima had not been washed. This, combined with the current environment, is clearly a real way to fight back against him. Because Yuwen Changyan's grandfather Yuwen Shihe's official position happened to have an official position as Sima of Tiance Mansion, so in this context at this time, it was obviously deliberately ironic that his grandfather was Sima of Tiance Mansion. Therefore, Wei Zheng's "washing the horse" has not yet washed Sima, which means that he is scolding this Yu Wenshi and "dirty things" in a gentle manner.
"Okay, stop laughing, isn't it funny?" Shi Bufan suddenly asked seriously.
The students immediately stopped, apparently afraid to laugh again.
"Isn't it fun for you guys to come here to study hard and joke about this kind of thing?" Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.
And Fang Zhizhi suddenly opened his mouth to support Yu Wenshiji, and said: "Shi Xiao Shulang, just kidding, it's harmless!" ”
Du Wei also said: "Yes! Isn't it just a joke? What's there? ”
But Wei Shuyu didn't do it, he said directly: "Are you guys so joking?" actually made fun of other people's fathers, so if it were you, would you be able to accept it? Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, this is what Shixiao Shulang taught you? Have you all forgotten what Shi Xiaoshulang said? ”
"I don't think this is the imperial court, so it's nothing." Tang Shanzhi, the son of Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.
As a result, there were people who immediately refuted it, and then the two sides actually quarreled like this.
Shi Bufan saw that these students were actually noisy, and immediately frowned. With his extraordinary teaching experience, he can naturally see that these students have problems, and there are obviously big problems. The students were clearly divided into two groups, and they were divided into two different groups of people who were arguing with each other here. Shi Bufan knows very well that there will inevitably be some buddies in school, and there will be some gangs, which is common in schools, especially in some young places.
As for Shi Bufan, he knows these second-generation officials, the "gangs" around them are actually not gangs composed of simple personal feelings, and these second-generation officials are actually gangs formed according to the factions of their elders. The relationship between them may become friendly because of the cooperation of the elders in the officialdom. But once the elders fall apart, and then turn against each other in the officialdom, they will inevitably turn against each other and become enemies of the second generation of officials, which is the so-called gang of these second generations of officials.
In fact, the friendship of these second-generation officials is nothing more than a microcosm of their father's generation in the imperial court faction. Their fathers followed different people in the court, and then their juniors also formed gangs here, and then according to their fathers' official factions, they formed gangs, and then "attacked" each other among these students.
If the emperor in the court is the adjudicator, and in this Xiuwen Pavilion, Shi Bufan, the teacher who is responsible for teaching them, is also a judge. In fact, most of the contradictions between them are decided by them.
As for these students, in addition to Li Jiancheng, who supported his father's generation and supported the crown prince, there were also factions that supported Li Shimin, but those royal families, like their fathers, did not interfere. Because those side branch royal families know that they have no right to decide on the succession to the imperial throne of the imperial court, the most taboo thing for these side branch royal families is to interfere with the inheritance of the throne. Even if the side branch royal family interfered with the inheritance of the throne, it might be jealous of the emperor and would attack them. Since ancient times, emperors have loved and hated those royal families. Because once these royal families rebelled, it would be smoother than the rebellion of ordinary foreign ministers, so the emperor would be jealous. But when you are in trouble, you still have to rely on the royal family, because the royal family is the one who has one heart, and it is to protect the family and the world. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties loved and hated the royal family, and their feelings were very complicated.
However, once the imperial family interferes with the inheritance of the throne without authorization, it is likely to be cleaned up by the emperor of the current dynasty, after all, what the emperor of the current dynasty is most worried about is that the royal family of the side branch interferes with the inheritance of the throne, will this make his clansmen lose the throne? Therefore, those side branch royal families did not dare to interfere with the inheritance of the throne, but those foreign ministers were even more bold.
"Have you had enough of arguing?" Shi Bufan immediately asked coldly.
When the students heard this, they immediately stopped arguing, obviously waiting for an extraordinary lecture.
"What are you doing? Treat Shubunkan as a vegetable market, you can make noise if you want? Let me tell you, this is the Xiuwen Pavilion, and since the emperor and your elders let me take care of you, then you all give me good obedience. You should remember that I have the right to discipline you. It's just that I don't want to abuse this power, and I don't advocate corporal punishment. But that doesn't mean I don't have that power, understand? Don't take my kindness for weakness, don't take my kindness for bullying, understand? Shi Bufan asked.
Those students suddenly realized that Shi Bufan, a teacher, had the right to punish, almost no matter which family, even if they were from the noble family and the royal family, but there was one condition that they must have it, that is, their teacher had the right to "discipline" them. If the teacher wants to discipline, even the parents have no right to interfere, this is also the ancient rule. In ancient times, teachers and parents had similar status, and they were both to be respected as direct elders. Even if the prince's teacher wants to punish the prince, the emperor, as a father, can't say anything, which is also ancient ethics. Teachers, like fathers, have the power to admonish and discipline students, and no matter how high the father of a student is, he cannot say anything casually. Even, as a father, he can only grit his teeth and say that the teacher played well!
And Shi Bufan, as their teacher, naturally has this power, even their parents dare not say anything. Shi Bufan does not approve of corporal punishment of students, nor does he approve of insulting and insulting students, so he has not used this privilege granted to him by ancient ethics and morality. However, apparently because he did not use the privilege of this punishment, many students also thought that he was a good bully, and thought that he was a good bully, and he seemed unscrupulous.
Of course, Shi Bufan may be able to accept their unscrupulousness elsewhere, but he can't accept forming a gang in his own Xiuwen Pavilion. Because this kind of gang formation obviously has a lot of political elements, which is unacceptable to Shi Bufan. In his eyes, schools are about teaching and educating people, and the students of schools cannot be involved in politics.
In later generations of universities, although there were many contradictions between various teachers and professors in the university, and the school leaders also had many contradictions, and they might even fight for the official position of the school leader. However, there is an iron law, that is, the conflict between school teachers and leaders, which must not be implicated in students. Conflicts between teachers cannot implicate students because of this, this is an iron law. Because the school is a place to teach and educate people, not to let these students learn these so-called political struggles and these so-called conspiracy and calculations from an early age.
As a school side, no matter where these students were before, no matter what conflicts there are between their parents, there can be no conflicts at school. The school is a pure land, and it is the responsibility of every teacher not to easily let the dirty things in the society enter the school.
"You guys listen to me, it's forbidden to talk about anything about the court in the Xiuwen Pavilion in the future, let alone joke about these official positions, understand? In the future, do not bring anything or any conflict between your fathers here. If anyone lets me find out what is said about the government affairs of the imperial court here, then don't blame me for being rude, I should still be punished in the streets of Huicheng, understand? Shi Bufan asked.
"Got it!"
Shi Bufan also closed his eyes and thought to himself: "Is it really useful?" Their natural identity may have been forced to implicate this? They are just a microcosm of the bigwigs in the court, I can suppress them here, but I can't suppress those bigwigs in the court! I can only do it to stop the boiling, but I can't do it at the bottom of the kettle! ”
