The task of selecting the superintendent was left on the part of the Ministry of Rites by Yan Wen, which made Gao Jizhi, who was unwilling to get involved, very dissatisfied, and he repeatedly wrote to the Ministry of Rites, believing that these things should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. The province of Zhongshu did not respond at first, but he was annoyed by his begging, so he replied, "The superintendent is in charge of the official office, and the Ministry of Rites sends someone to suppress it, how to exert authority?" When you go to the ministry on an errand, there must be no more excuses! He had nothing to say.

"Gongxuan, would you like to go?" Gao Jizhi threw aside the approved documents and glanced at the official servant Chen beside him.

"Even if you don't ask that, for the sake of the country, your subordinates are willing to go." Comrade Chen replied calmly.

"You really know how to speak," Gao Jizhi raised his eyelids slightly, "How about it, do you figure out the content of this new deal?" ”

"Yan Xiang is secretive, and the decree issued is nothing more than the establishment of official schools, and no rules and regulations have been set for the time being."

When Gao Jizhi heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that he is still wary of us and refuses to talk about it." Then you do what he tells you to do, act honestly and dutifully, and when the time comes, he will be held accountable if something happens. ”

Comrade Chen answered, and then said goodbye and retreated.

"Ye Shangshu, the superintendent has been selected!" Cai Xianqing walked into the lobby of the military department from the outside and alarmed Ye Yongjia, who was on the council.

"Which one?" Ye Yongjia still keeps writing.

"It's Tinglong's former friend, Comrade Chen of the Ministry of Officials."

Ye Yongjia was stunned for a moment, and slowly put down the pen in his hand: "I thought I was going to assign ...... from the Ministry of Rites."

"This shows that Yan Xiang is really going to make some big moves." Cai Xianqing sat down as he spoke.

Ye Yongjia pushed away the paperwork on the table and sighed: "Although this is a party struggle, if it can promote some reform, it will be a blessing in disguise." Now that the school administration is in chaos, reaffirming the system is indeed beneficial. ”

Cai Xianqing smiled: "Definitely." Do you know what he thinks? ”

Ye Yongjia was puzzled: "That...... What else can you think? ”

Cai Xianqing said: "I heard from the people in Zhongshu Province that the appropriate Chen comrade went to see Yan Xiang, and Yan Xiang had a bitter teaching. He said, "The focus of this supervision of the school is to nurture virtue. Nowadays, the people don't know what etiquette and righteousness are, so the children are not filial, the women are not chaste, and they don't know the word shame at all. Most of them have the problem of leisure and hard work, and a lot of farmland has been wasted, so there are many idle people, stealing and robbing everywhere, and the customs are becoming more and more corrupt. Therefore, I should first take out the "Book of Filial Piety" and the like to teach people...... and also mention Mr. Wei in Nanjing, saying that he must have more consciousness of death. ”

Ye Yongjia sneered disdainfully, lowered his head and said: "Of course, virtue is what people must have, but after all, it is rooted in the system, and it is rigidly manipulated by the latter, and it follows you like a shadow. A new policy like the one he put in his mouth is tantamount to sacrificing the basics and seeking the end, how can it have a future? Mr. Wai is well aware of the root cause of the problem and is able to implement the system of the College. And Yan Xiang, as a dignified Zaifu, is still obsessed with sages and sages...... On this basis alone, it is not as far as Mr. Wei. ”

Cai Xianqing was speechless, so he had to answer calmly: "Tinglong still misses the friendship between teachers and students in the old days." ”

Ye Yongjia smiled and didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Chen Tongpao walked all the way out of the palace and walked straight to the Datong Street in front. Because the market is open these days, there is a crowd of people in the downtown area, all kinds of characters are crowded together, there are laughter, there are scolding, and the gongs and drums can be heard in the distance, shouting and selling, so it is not lively.

However, Chen Tongpao was indifferent, and he refused to even stop, thinking about returning home.

"Chen Shilang!"

His ears were not disturbed by the noise of noise, and when he heard someone calling him, he hurriedly stopped, looked around, and saw that in front of the shop on the east side, there was the young marquis, who had crossed the Hunan people.

"Lord Chen, I've been planning to look for you, but I can't see you anywhere, why did you go?" The Hunan people came over and asked with a smile.

Comrade Chen grinned at the corners of his mouth, and he also smiled: "It's inconvenient to talk about this outside, so let's go back to the house." ”

"It's inconvenient to go to your house, so it's better to say in the nearest restaurant."

Chen Tongpao happily agreed, and was led by the Hunan people to a restaurant with a golden signboard, and ordered the shopkeeper to prepare a private room on the second floor, poured good wine, put a few meals, and prepared fish and meat, and the two sat down.

"It's warm and pleasant today, so it's really time for you to have this meal!" As the Hunan people spoke, they rolled up the bamboo curtains on the windows, and a breeze blew in, which was very pleasant.

"Here, do it first!" He raised his glass and drank it to his colleague Chen; The latter just took a sip.

"Dare to ask what did you do today? Could it be the ...... in the court?"

"That's right, Yan Xiangzheng is implementing a new policy on ancient learning, and specially ordered Chen to go to other places to serve as a supervisor, so he waited in the palace for a while."

Guo Xiangdao: "Are you going to go these days?" ”

"You don't have to be so anxious," Comrade Chen took a bite of food and ate, "Yan Xiang still has some things to deal with, and it will be more than ten days later." ”

"Oh, I thought it was going to be delayed."

Chen Tongpao stopped the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and glanced at him: "What are you talking about......?" ”

"I heard that the adults have been busy with concubines these days, but is it true?" The Hunan people looked at him stunned.

"Yes," Comrade Chen replied without thinking, "I have not had a son with the Zhuo family for a long time, and now that I am getting older, I have the idea of taking a concubine for the sake of the descendants of Yan." ”

"Have you consulted with your wife?"

"Nope." Chen Tongpao said coldly.

The Hunan people were quite stunned when they heard him answer so quickly, and only said after a while: "Ling Zheng is also a knowledgeable person, considering the current situation, he probably won't object." A little deliberation can also make this matter more complete. ”

"Zhuo's has always known my thoughts, and if I don't tell her, he can understand it in his heart," Chen Tongpao shook his head and said, "Why bother asking such a question, it is useless." ”

Seeing him so cold, although the Hunan people were a little unhappy in their hearts, they still understood his mood and said: "Chen Shilang always acts so vigorously and resolutely, and Guo Mou, as a junior, admires him very much. I have been with you for many years, and my love is not ordinarily deep, and I have never repaid it. It's better to help you inquire and see whose girl is suitable, so as to complete this matter as soon as possible. ”

"Then thank you Brother Sixing!" Comrade Chen raised his jade wine glass and touched him lightly, "I don't have any requirements for this, I just ask a woman who can read and write, smart and witty to come in, so as not to be laughed at by others." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, remember everything!" The Hunan people laughed and drank the glass of wine again.
