42. Tongwen Museum (2)
It turns out that this is the case, who listed one, two, three, four, and five in the debate, and did not just make up a few? He didn't know anyone who knew astronomy and arithmetic, but he just speculated that the Qing Dynasty was vast and rich, and it was impossible not to have such talents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although it was difficult for him to admit his speculation as the emperor's master, in order to resign from this embarrassing appointment, he had to hand over a second resignation pass, admitting that the words about astronomical and arithmetic talents were "just speculation" and that he did not already have such talents in his pocket.
The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this--of course this is pretended, and it is what the literati are best at when they debate, who can not know this truth, but the Queen Mother was furious, and said to the people in the military aircraft department, "In front of the Queen Mother and the emperor, can you say anything casually?" When opposing others, he said that the Qing Dynasty had a lot of astronomical and arithmetic talents; When it comes to doing things on your own, you say, 'It's just speculation.'" Still not allowed to resign! ā
"To untie the bell, you still need to tie the bell", Wu Ren had no choice, so he had to go to visit Prince Gong, the head of foreign affairs and who he would never have a relationship with before. When he got off the sedan chair, Wu Ren raised his legs and stepped into the flower hall of Prince Gong's mansion, and Prince Gong had already greeted him. One is the emperor's master, and the other is the prince of this dynasty, bowing to each other endlessly. It happened that Cao Yuying was also there, so they accompanied him and welcomed Wu Ren to the flower hall.
Although he is very good at writing couplets and songs, he is not good at talking to people, and what he wants to say is a bit difficult to say. So holding his breath, blushing, and sweating--just enough to put the reason on Qiu Laohu's head, he explained his intentions and said: "The matter of Tongwenguan is really not what I want, and I also ask the king of the council to say a lot of good words, and ask the queen mother to take back her fate." ā
Prince Gong saw the embarrassed appearance of Wu Ren, smiled and said nothing, he knew that this was the case, why bother in the first place?
Cao Yuying waved her fan and smiled at Wu Ren, "The boss is too demanding, although the king of the council is the prince, he has to listen to the queen mother and the emperor, right?" Now that this will has been made, wouldn't it be a change of order every day, so where will the face of the court and the prestige of the queen mother be placed? ā
Hearing Cao Yuying's half-sarcastic words, Wu Ren's face turned red, but he didn't say anything, Prince Gong saw Wu Ren's appearance, after all, he was a little unbearable, and said with a smile:
"Boss, now that the wood is in the boat, let's first be wronged and wronged, do it for a few months temporarily, and then take the boss on duty in the south study at the same time, it's too complicated, so I will resign then?"
As soon as he heard that Prince Gong wanted him to "do it for a few months first", Wu Ren was so angry that his eyes were dizzy, and he immediately prepared to leave with his sleeves up. "Death by starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big thing", as the emperor's master, the director of the Tongwen Museum is only for one day, just like the eldest daughter who spent a night at her husband's house after getting married, even if she lost her temper. Doesn't Prince Gong understand?
It's just that he just stood up when he felt dizzy, and immediately sat down in his chair again. When Prince Gong saw that it was not good, he hurriedly came over to support, and asked the servants to bring tea and water, and rubbed his shoulders with fans, so that his complexion gradually eased.
Prince Gong stopped the topic of Tongwenguan, just shush the cold and ask for warmth, pass on the doctor to call medicine, if the emperor's teacher is angry at his own home because of the affairs of Tongwenguan, the saliva of the world's scholars, I am afraid that it can be converging into a fountain flowing out of the rockery in the Jianyuan.
Although Prince Gong's etiquette of sending him to the sedan chair was flawless, Wa Ren knew that he could not ask for more. The appointment clinged to him like a slug, like a conspicuous plaster on his face, difficult to remove. So much so that when he was lecturing to the emperor in the south study, he thought that he was dedicated to the emperor and the court, and he ended up in such an embarrassing situation, and he couldn't help but cry for a while.
The young emperor was stunned, he had never seen Master Wuren so out of shape, nor had he seen a gentleman with a silver-white beard crying, the tears did not slide down his cheeks, but dripped all the way to the end of the long beard, just like another master Weng Tonghe told Li Bai's poem: "The flying stream goes straight down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days." Of course, the emperor knew why the master was crying, so he told the queen mother about this matter at dinner, and at the same time interceded on behalf of the master, asking for the appointment of the master and the director of the Tongwen Museum.
"Ahem, these people, speaking of the sky, if you want to do something, you will push back and block, what else can the court count on?" Cixi said disdainfully.
"Master Wu didn't know anyone who knew astronomy and arithmetic." The emperor defended his master.
"Look, as the emperor's master, he doesn't know things and talks nonsense, how can he teach the emperor to speak and act? This matter can't stop there, let him review himself for a few more days. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You masters, I don't see any good ones, Li Tangjie is a moral gentleman, and he can do something in the military aircraft, this Wuren is really annoying, so he moves his mouth, his eyes are high, and he can't be on an errand!" Emperor, don't worry about it, he should put forward his opinions in front of the imperial history of Zuodu, but he is too full of words, but it makes people easily refute, lose face, and read jokes.
