"Countrymen, how dare you talk about etiquette." Zhang Jingxiu just replied. When Zhao Nanxing saw Zhang Jingxiu answering, he had to ask himself and answer: "The new rites change customs and treat the people like children, which can be regarded as really practicing the idea of governing the country with benevolence!" Zhao Nanxing looked at Zhang Jingxiu as he spoke, and said with a smile: "What's more, this new ceremony is still the inheritance of Lingzun's will, so after Heiwen entered the office, he should work hard with the ministers inside and outside to do good, so that the implementation of the new ceremony is not chaotic." ”

"What the ministry said is, how can the students be afraid that the world will not be chaotic?" Zhang Jingxiu nodded after hearing this. Zhao Nanxing smiled slightly.

And after Zhang Jingxiu saw Zhao Nanxing, he entered the palace again.

"The emperor is still not here, I went to Jiangzuo Temple, and the prince will come back tomorrow." However, after Zhang Jingxiu came, Tian Yi told him that Zhu Yijun was still not there, and Zhang Jingxiu had to go home again.

And Zhu Yijun asked Tian Yilai after returning from Jiangzuo Temple: "Zhang Jingxiu is here today?" ”

"It's coming!" Tian Yi replied. Zhu Yijun nodded, and then didn't say anything, but only instructed Sun Bin, the celebrant of the ceremony, to "The rotating wooden pencil printing press of the temple will be successfully manufactured, and the Ministry of Industry will discuss the reward according to the system." Sun Bin said yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun happened to see the clerical officer Li Wen sending the chapters, so he said, "What are the chapters?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there is the matter of Zhao Bulang in the examination of the merit division to ask the son of Enyin Xian Taishi to be Shangbao Siqing, and there is." As soon as Li Wen said this, Zhu Yijun twisted his eyebrows slightly and said, "Bring Zhao Nanxing's chapter music!" ”

"Yes!" At that time, it was already this afternoon, the sunset was lying on the side of the small west pond in the court, shining on the water of the pool, and the spring breeze was slightly cool, Zhu Yijun sat on the rocking chair by the pool, holding Zhao Nanxing's chapter, and read it carefully. In addition, let Zhang Jingxiu also enter the palace to see me. ”

"Your Majesty wants to see me?" Zhao Nanxing got up and looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, and stood up in surprise for a while.

The eunuch agreed: "How dare the clerical office spread the will." ”

"The Son of Heaven has always respected teachers and emphasized education, so he doesn't care about Taiyue's mispower, only talks about his Ansheji, talking about the emperor's merits, and the sum of his benevolence, non-Yao Shun can't be compared, and he can't be the world with grace!"

"The prince's request for the son of Enyin Taiyue this time must be in line with the emperor's wishes, and it is valued by the emperor's heart, and there is an opportunity for the platform to summon the right." Shi Xing, who was also here, said to Zhao Nanxing with a smile on his face full of envy.

After hearing this, Zhao Nanxing's face also rose, raised his eyebrows and walked away, and began to fantasize that he would talk eloquently in front of the emperor in the future, so that the Son of Heaven would be convinced, and then he would have to show his ambitions, go to Kuang Chaogang, and go down to An Lishu, and stage a good story of the co-governance of monarchs and ministers.

And just when Zhao Nanxing guessed whether the Son of Heaven would let him go out to Fuyuan or promote Zhengqing inside, and also pasted his name on the rumored screen, he unknowingly arrived in front of the palace.

Zhu Yijun raised his eyes to look at Zhao Nanxing after seeing him: "In Qing's opinion, how is Zhang Jingxiu?" Zhao Nanxing was slightly stunned, and then because he thought that Zhang Jingxiu was quite modest when he came into contact with him, and even took the initiative to excuse himself, he said truthfully to Zhu Yijun: "Back to Your Majesty, Siwen is a gentleman!" At this time, Zhang Jingxiu also came here, but because he saw that Zhu Yijun had asked Zhao Nanxing first, he had to wait in the outer hall.

However, Zhang Jingxiu heard Zhao Nanxing's words, and glanced at Zhao Nanxing for a while. Zhu Yijun also glanced at Zhao Nanxing at this time, and asked again: "Then does he have no talent, no use, and no obvious merit?" Zhao Nanxing was stunned again, and then because he thought that Zhang Jingxiu did not rush to express his position when he asked him about his opinion on the new ceremony, he was obviously cautious and had a city government, so he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the heir is rigorous and calm, and he has the virtue of not doing business for his father's name, and he can be a good person for governing the country." ”

"is both a gentleman and a good talent, so why are you ready to hide such a gentleman and good talent?" Zhu Yijun suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Nanxing was asked for a while. Zhang Jingxiu, who was in the outer hall, couldn't help frowning and looked at Zhao Nanxing's back.

"Tell me the truth!" Zhu Yijun said.

"Yes!" Zhao Nanxing replied and said: "In the end, he is the son of the Taishi, and Shilin has a lot of disregard for the Taishi before, and he also has a conspiracy to liquidate revenge. ”

"Since you say that he is a gentleman, why do you treat a gentleman like this, so that the gentleman will not be able to display his talents?" Zhu Yijun asked at this time.

Zhao Nanxing hurriedly held the elephant wat and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty Mingjian!" It is precisely because he is a gentleman that he must be able to suffer such grievances, that is, even if he is unwilling, he will not be dissatisfied with Shilin because of this, and avoid making Shilin's people uneasy! ”

"What if he can't bear it and simply becomes a villain and no longer a gentleman?" Zhu Yijun asked. Zhao Nanxing: "This ......"

"Did you ask him for his opinion?" Zhu Yijun asked. Zhao Nanxing replied: "No! ”

"I didn't ask, and I didn't think about whether people could or didn't bear it because of this."

"You disrespect the gentleman so much, and even deliberately wronged the gentleman and suppressed the gentleman, Zhao Nanxing, do you think you deserve to be fair in the merit test, are you serious about the merit?" After Zhu Yijun said this, he asked Zhao Nanxing in a deep voice.

Zhao Nanxing suddenly felt a chill in his back, and had to blush and say, "The minister is indeed unfair!" ”

"You are not only unfair, but you have no intention of being a gentleman at all!" Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty said yes!"

"But Shang Bao Siqing is already a fourth-grade civil servant, and he is not wronged Zhang Siwen."

"Chen thinks that he Zhang Siwen will not feel aggrieved because of this, and he will no longer be dissatisfied with Shilin, but know Shilin's good intentions." Zhao Nanxing replied with some frustration.

"Sophistry!"

"Is it righteousness or profit that a gentleman values? Is it a lifetime of ambition in vain, or a name that can be won in the end? ”

"Is this the way to treat a gentleman?" Zhu Yijun said. Zhao Nanxing's face suddenly turned even redder: "The heart of the villain!" ”

"But Your Majesty, the minister didn't plan to ask for favor with him, but he entered Beijing, and the minister wanted to curry favor with it, but Your Majesty is right, the gentleman doesn't value this!" Zhao Nanxing answered truthfully.

"Why didn't you plan to?" Zhu Yijun asked. Zhao Nanxing: "The minister didn't want him to join the ranks!" Zhang Jingxiu, who was outside the hall, only raised his eyes slightly after hearing this.

Zhu Yijun then said: "Let me ask you, does Shang Bao Siqing have any money to receive?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Nanxing replied. Zhu Yijun said: "Where does his fortune come from? ”

"People's fat, people's ointment." Zhao Nanxing replied. Zhu Yijun chased after him and asked: "Since it is the people's fat and people's ointment, what qualifications do you Zhao Nanxing have to use the people's fat and people's ointment to curry favor with him Zhang Jingxiu, just for him Zhang Jingxiu can be grateful to Shilin for this and no longer have a heart of revenge?" ”

"Is the official position of the imperial court something you can take to please someone?"

"Is it that you can take the people's fat and the people's ointment to please people?"

"Is this a way to please a gentleman?"

"As a meritorious officer, I don't know how to make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of things, and I don't know if I don't want to let him work for the country and the people because of his special status, and I don't want to take the people's fat and people's ointment in vain, but I just want to wronged the gentleman in the way of wasting national funds and people's fat and people's ointment, are you worthy of the country, worthy of the people, worthy of the gentleman?!"
