Chapter Fifty-Six: Dr. Du
Guozijian started classes early, and some inmates began to study. Xie Min also began to inspect the situation of the prisoners in the Taixue dormitories.
When I got up in the morning, it was the time to study, and there were also many prisoners who were sleepy, and just as Xie Min knocked on a few cases of a prisoner, the chief bookkeeper in charge of daily affairs in the prison rushed over, "Dr. Xie, Han Siye invited all the doctors to go to the Wenxun Hall." ”
Xie Min bowed, glanced at the prisoner again, and said aloud: "Read this article first, the five people will take countermeasures, and wait for me to come back and ask for advice." ”
"Please, Doctor." The sentient beings returned, and Xie Min left.
In the Wenxun Hall, several other doctors of Taixue also arrived, Xie Min glanced at it, and saluted according to the etiquette first.
After the ceremony, Xie Min started talking with them, "The assessment of the Ministry of Officials has been released this autumn, and one doctor is going to be delegated to the four schools, why don't you see Dr. Xu?" ”
Han Siye nodded and said: "Dr. Xu could have stayed, but the assessment was really not good, I agreed with the sacrificial wine, and reported to Your Majesty, and yesterday I moved Dr. Xu to the four schools." ”
Dr. Yang, who works in Taixue, couldn't help but ask: "Every year, the best people will be selected from the official schools in each state to fill the vacancy of the worst doctor in Guozijian, but how can it still be moved now?" ”
"The four disciplines of the doctor are seven grades, and the two grades have fallen behind the Taixue, which is considered a punishment."
Han Siye explained slightly, and Dr. Taixue Wei understood, "This time, the minimum assessment of Guozijian is four schools, and Dr. Xu will only move to four schools under the five of us." ”
"Which state is filling the vacancy?" Xie Min heard them say so much, and he was still worried about today's prisoner's question, so he spoke again.
"The man has arrived." Han Siye glanced back.
In the tea room, a thin Lang Jun walked over, clearly as tall as Xie Min, but the robe still didn't fit a little on him, and the belt around his waist showed his thinness amazingly.
It is precisely because he is thin and his cheeks are whiter that his appearance is quite good. At this time, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his thin lips were closed, and his eyes were always subconsciously glanced at the ground, a little unconfident.
"Sui Zhou, Du Xiyin, twenty years old, three." His salute to the crowd is not necessarily respectful, but more deferential.
Everyone hurriedly returned the salute, Dr. Yang, Dr. Wei, Dr. Zhou, Dr. Wen.
"Chang'an, Xie Min, nineteen."
Du Xi was stunned for a moment, and immediately withdrew his gaze after only one glance, "Dr. Xie has such a talent before he is weak, and Du is also fortunate to have read your article." ”
Xie Min only took these polite words with his head again, and ended the conversation, "There is no need to talk about the past, that is, if you come to Taixue, the professor is the important thing." ”
Du Xiyin was stunned for a moment, and the other doctors hurriedly spoke to him, "I wonder what Dr. Du has on the way of Confucius and Mencius?" ”
"If it is Confucianism, it is Datong. The reason why I became a doctor is because I think that the inmates should be useful talents who should 'govern the country and peace the world'. ”
Several doctors chatted, but Xie Min did not join, and Du Xiyin glanced at Xie Min as he spoke. “…… Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons are also guidelines for prisoners to understand. ”
Han Siye saw that the time was enough, so he interrupted them, "Dr. Xie, Dr. Du is closer to you, so you can take Dr. Du to the Taixue Academy for a walk." ”
Since Si Ye ordered him to work with him as well, Xie Min raised his hand and responded: "Yes." ”
"Dr. Du comes with me." Xie Min and Du Xiyin began to walk one after the other, and Xie Min introduced the things of the Taixue Academy to him.
After reading it, the two of them drank tea and rested in a pavilion, and just as Xie Min decided to leave, Du Xiyin suddenly spoke, "Dr. Xie, do you look down on me?" ”
He frowned slightly, "Dr. Du, what are these words?" ”
Du Xi swallowed and didn't dare to look directly at him, "I'm from Suizhou, and the other four doctors are not from Chang'an, but they are all from Gyeonggi Province. ”
"Naturally, it's because of knowledge." Xie Min explained, then turned around and looked at him seriously, "Xie doesn't know why Dr. Du would speculate on my mind at will." ”
Dr. Du lowered his head, pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "In Suizhou, I heard that there are many bureaucrats in Beijing and China, and a few doctors are talking to me today, and you must have an opinion on me." ”
Xie Min frowned slightly, "Confucianism, if 'benevolence' falls into the soil, he is only allowed to become a stem, not branches and leaves?" ”
Du Xiyin rubbed his hands and looked at him nervously, "Isn't what Dr. Xie himself wrote in that article disdainful of our kind of thinking?" ”
"If you speculate about me for this, instead of talking to me about Confucianism and Taoism, I will ask my teaching assistant to take you to see the Taixue Academy."
Xie Min knew that Du Xiyin was an unconfident person when he saw him for the first time, and he wanted to talk to him all the way, but it turned into a temptation.
"Dr. Xie," he plucked up his courage, "I want to say not only Confucianism, but also the way of the world!" ”
"Please." Xie Min breathed a sigh of relief, the words just now were like the words of a doctor.
"Has Dr. Xie ever thought about the way of Confucius and Mencius, how many people who have read have been pursuing it for many years, but few people have mentioned that 'the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light'?" He said eagerly, blushing for this.
Xie Min's response was very indifferent: "Because you don't dare, you are afraid of touching the imperial power." ”
"Yes, we don't dare." Du Xiyin's hand clenched into a fist, "Then why does Dr. Xie dare?" ”
Before he could open his mouth, Du Xiyin had already continued to speak, "Because of the Northwest Hou, the world knows that the Northwest Hou has assisted His Majesty for more than 20 years, and the Hou Mansion has not changed over the years. ”
The indifference in Xie Min's pupils began to become obscure, and Du Xiyin's words just pierced his heart, catching him off guard.
"There are not many people in the world who can easily say this, but Dr. Xie can. Because Dr. Xie's father was a favored minister, he won the trust of His Majesty. ”
"And those of us who have no foundation can't say it, but I'm afraid that one day this sentence will become the reason for us to die."
Du Xiyin finished speaking in one breath before he relaxed.
Xie Min stared at him seriously, "You and I are just a doctor, can it be that the professors only talk about 'the father and son of the monarch and the minister', and no longer talk about the 'people and the noble king'?" ”
"Heh," Du Xiyin sneered, "I thought the same thing about my first scientific expedition five years ago, but in the end, I only failed the list!" ”
When his teacher heard about it, he fined him 30 rulers, saying that he had ruined his future. And let Du Xiyin kneel on the ground and write "Monarch and Father and Son" all over in white.
Young and rebellious, he no longer took the scientific examination and went to the government professor, but he was still defeated by the world, and finally gave up his former persistence.
Xie Min sighed lightly when he heard this, and Du Xiyin also smiled bitterly, "This is how the world ......."
"Now that you're here, you can pick up your thoughts, and you don't need to be scrupulous." Xie Min said with relief.
Du Xiyin looked at Xie Min for a long time this time, but shook his head, "I came here by that, and I have no choice for my future path." ”
After saying that, he left first.
