Chapter 57 Fang Xiaoru enters Beijing
The cold wind howled.
On the official road outside the Beijing Division, a carriage is hurrying.
was summoned to Beijing, Fang Xiaoru felt a little uncomfortable, but more happy.
Previously, Huang Zicheng was attacked and recuperated at home, mainly to save face.
The conflict between teachers and students also happened in the royal family, and Huang Zicheng couldn't do the work of teaching the kings.
The main hall needed a new gentleman, so Huang Zicheng recommended Fang Xiaoru.
Fang Xiaoru was born in a scholarly family in Zhejiang, and has been smart and studious, alert and agile since childhood, known as "Little Han Yu".
When he grew up, he worshipped the great Confucian Song Lian as his teacher and was respected by his peers.
As early as ten years ago, Fang Xiaoru was summoned by Emperor Hongwu on the recommendation of a friend.
Zhu Yuanzhang admired his dignified and serious demeanor, and said to the crown prince Zhu Biao: "This is a dignified talent, you should use him until you are old." ”
At that time, Fang Xiaoru was twenty-five years old, and Lao Zhu didn't use him, let him go home and settle down.
Later, Fang Xiaoru was jointly and jointly arrested by the enemy and arrested in Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang saw his name on the case file and released him.
Now, he has been recommended to be summoned to Beijing to face the saint.
Fang Xiaoru in the carriage was full of excitement all the way, and entered Beijing with confidence.
The main hall is the place where the kings are taught, and there are two imperial grandchildren.
Knowing that one of the two imperial grandsons would have a great chance to be made the imperial grandson, Fang Xiaoru was even more looking forward to this important responsibility.
Huiwang Zhu Yunwen, benevolence, righteousness and humility, as his teacher, has a great opportunity to display his ambitions in the future!
As for Zhu Yunxi, the king of Wu, although he has a good name, after all, he is a representative of Wuxun and is not favored by the clear stream of science.
And his friend Huang Zicheng has repeatedly written letters, saying that King Wu does not respect teachers, is not benevolent, and is a fake virtuous name, but in fact he is vicious in his heart.
The most important thing is that King Wu is not an obedient lord!
Before coming, Fang Xiaoru had already planned, if he chose King Wu, he would inevitably be criticized for his reputation.
Fang Xiaoru's father, Fang Keqin, was originally a magistrate who was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because of the empty seal case......
It is enough for the Ming Dynasty to have a Hongwu Emperor, if there is another such ruthless and disobedient monarch, when will the civil officials come forward?
Along the way, day and night, Fang Xiaoru was wandering outside, and suddenly felt that the body slowed down.
At a glance, the majestic and majestic Jingshi City Tower appeared in front of him.
Fang Xiaoru simply came out, facing the wind of the car, his clothes fluttering.
He dreamed of learning from the king of Mencius all his life, and what he pursued was such a happy life of running the horse and running the eight watches.
Entering Beijing this time, the road to the emperor in the future may be flat!
Enter the Royal Palace.
The smile on Fang Xiaoru's face was much more relaxed than before, and he gradually became dignified and serious.
He knew that His Majesty the Emperor liked his image of a gentleman the most.
Walked into the Wuying Palace, saluted, and Fang Xiaoru stood aside.
"You are Fang Xiaoru recommended by Huang Zicheng?"
Emperor Zhu's enthusiasm does not seem to be high...... Still immersed in the review of the recital.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's Fang Xiaoru."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly: "Well, how are you reading?" ”
Fang Xiaoru proudly replied that he reads more than an inch thick every day.
"Okay, then you can go to King Hui's Mansion as a professor and teach King Hui."
Professor Wangfu?
Fang Xiaoru's eyes froze.
The professor of the palace is just a small official from the ninth grade, compared to the bachelor from the fifth grade, it is too much worse!
Compared with ten years ago, Emperor Zhu's thirsty appearance and corporal Lixian seems to be gone......
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "The kings will go to the fiefdom to become a feudal lord after the New Year, and the main hall will also be temporarily closed." ”
I'll close it as soon as I come?
Fang Xiaoru said: "Minister's decree, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" ”
When he came, he was full of confidence, and he pulled his crotch instantly.
Fang Xiaoru didn't expect that after ten years, Emperor Zhu would not reuse him.
Don't even give a history of the palace!
After inquiring, it turned out that the position of the head of King Hui's mansion was won by his friend Huang Zicheng!
Huang Zicheng was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the post of Zuo Changshi of the Huiwang Mansion and promoted to the fifth grade.
"Okay, it's better to work with Huang Zicheng and assist His Royal Highness King Hui together."
Fang Xiaoru thought to himself, as long as King Hui is put on the throne, he will be the emperor in the future!
Next year, the kings will be inthroned, and their studies will be transferred to their respective fiefdoms.
There were professors in each of the palaces who specialized in teaching the vassal kings their studies.
For this reason, graduation exams are held in the main hall.
Similar to the papers of the imperial examination, there are a total of ten questions.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the eight-strand text had not yet been formed, and the imperial examination method of the edict imitated the "Jingyi" of the Song Dynasty.
The scope of the questions is limited to four books: "The University", "The Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius".
It was not until the Chenghua period that a number of ministers advocated that a relatively strict and fixed eight-strand text format was gradually formed.
In this main hall examination, Zhu Yunxi answered ten questions correctly and Zhu Yunxi answered nine questions correctly.
The rest of the vassal kings were mostly seven and eight questions.
Minwang Zhu Yang answered six questions correctly and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
It was his best result since school.
Just when Zhu Yang was complacent, Zhu Yunwen smiled.
He looked at Zhu Yang and said with a smug face: "You can answer six questions correctly, but you can only answer six questions correctly, and I can answer ten questions correctly, because there are only ten questions in the paper." ”
Zhu Yunwen clasped his hands on his chest, with the proud look of a scholar, and he didn't know what an opponent was.
It's so arrogant!
"Bang!"
Minwang Zhu Yang flew up with one kick, kicked Zhu Yunwen to the ground, and kicked three times.
"Woo woo woo ......" Zhu Yunwen held his head in his hands, and he didn't dare to fight back when he was beaten.
was beaten by his uncle, he couldn't beat him, he could only squat on the ground and cry bitterly.
Zhu Yang looked at him and said viciously: "I kicked you three times because you can only bear three kicks, not me can only kick you three times!" ”
The crowd burst into laughter!
The long history and subordinate officials of King Hui's Mansion are well arranged.
As the long history of Wu Wangfu, Zhu Yunxi is very concerned, and he doesn't know who Lao Zhu will send.
The history of the palace is equivalent to the prime minister of a country, who is in charge of the royal decrees and is in charge of the affairs of the palace.
Since the officials of the imperial court are also the officials of the royal palace, the affairs related to the palace and the imperial court are all played by the chief of the royal palace.
If the vassal king is at fault, the court will ask the long history.
If the vassal king commits a serious crime, the court will kill Changshi to warn the vassal king.
After waiting for a few days, Zhu Yunxi waited for his second-in-command.
The long history sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Wu Wangfu, named Li Zhigang, is also a bachelor in the main hall.
On weekdays, he is very polite to Zhu Yunxi, so polite that even Zhu Yunxi feels inexplicable.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, the ministers have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at him inexplicably: "What does Li Changshi mean?" ”
With a hearty smile, Li Zhigang said: "The minister has long seen that His Royal Highness is not a mortal, and he has already given birth to a desire to follow in his heart. ”
After speaking, he bowed his head.
“......”
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Li Zhigang's eyes were shrewd: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that there is a lack of vitality in the palace, so it is better to recruit some famous scholars and literati?" ”
At present, Zhu Yunxi needs the support of literati the most, and it is naturally good.
This guy has a bit of an eye!
Zhu Yunxi asked: "I don't know who Li Changshi recommends?" ”
"The minister has a friend named Xie Jin."
Speaking of Xie Jin, Zhu Yunxi remembered his impression of Li Zhigang.
Historically, the Yongle Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, and Li Zhigang was the first to propose it!
This person has a vicious eye and is the best at figuring out people's hearts.
Yan Wang Zhu Di was martyred in the sky, he voted early, and the Yongle court officials worshiped the Ministry of Worship.
After Zhu Di became the emperor, he opened the Jinchuan Gate to welcome Li Jinglong, who was the Yan army, crowned the prince and the prince, gave him the title of meritorious hero, added the pillar country, increased the number of years, and was listed at the head of the ministers.
The heroes of the Jingjing martyrdom were not convinced, so Li Zhigang took the initiative to impeach Li Jinglong, saying that he had bad intentions.
Li Jinglong was cut down and imprisoned until death because of this.
Some people say that Li Zhigang is good at flattery, and even Zheng He, the eunuch next to Zhu Di, has a very good relationship.
In fact, this kind of person is very comfortable in officialdom.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Okay, let your friend Xie Jin go to the mansion, and I want to see him in person." ”
"Yes, the minister will write a letter!"
Li Zhigang and Xie Jin have a very close personal relationship, and after the two developed in history, the relationship took a sharp turn for the worse, and they began to spray each other, and fell into the well.
At this time, they have no conflict of interest and are still good buddies.
