Prime Minister

Chapter 48: The Difficulty of the Poor Family (Part [-])
At this moment, Chen Shengzhi suddenly remembered Zhang Yue who said goodbye to him that day.

Thinking of this, Chen Shengzhi couldn't help standing up, and Li Xuezheng also got up immediately.

Chen Shengzhi laughed and groaned: "The sages are impermanent teachers, with a childlike heart, always diligently brushing, and everything can be taught. This old man remembers this."

Li Xuezheng lowered his head and wondered what Chen Shengzhi meant.

What Chen Shengzhi was thinking was what Zhang Yue said to him that day when he was about to leave.

"When the old man met him, this son said he was a teacher, and the old man was skeptical. After seeing this three-character poem today, he understood a little bit. Li Xuezheng, you have to tell the old man that any 13-year-old child can write this three-character poem. , the old man categorically doesn’t believe it, but this son believes in those two or three points.”

Xuezheng said: "Xiaguan doesn't understand, please ask Chen Gong to make it clear."

Chen Shengzhi said: "At that time, when he saw the old man, he said that the learning of sages is to do something, and the learning of Mencius is to do something. Can you say such a thing as an idle child?"

Xuezheng took a deep breath, the other party really has such insight, this is only a twelve or thirteen year old child.

Chen Shengzhi said: "The old man thought he came from hearsay at the time, but it is considered a talent to be able to turn hearsay into his own words, so he recruited him with a book boy... It seems to be short-sighted today, but unfortunately, it's ridiculous."

Xuezheng hurriedly said, "It's a shame to be a lower official. Who do you think is this child's fame?"

Having said that, Xuezheng glanced at Zhuang Xueyan.

"If it wasn't for this Mr. Zhuang's recommendation, the lower official would have missed out on this three-character poem."

Chen Shengzhi asked, "Where are you from?"

This scholar Zhuang lowered his head and said: "The villain is the second year of Tiansheng's academic degree, and he was born in an academic background. It has not been used for the election so far, so I have to live at home..."

Chen Shengzhi said: "How many officials are in the imperial court today, not to mention your academic background, even if you are a fellow jinshi, you will not be elected."

Zhuang Xuejia understands that in recent years, the trend of yin supplementation has become popular again. Nowadays, the official family is a good 'emperor' in the mouths of officials. There is no way for scholars to teach officials.Even if there is no way to grant an official, you don't even want to take office.

Next, Chen Shengzhi asked a few questions about Zhuang Xueyan's talent and experience, and then said: "It's a pity that this old man is buried for the virtuous, but when you are old and you go to work as an official, it is also hard work, it is better to get an idle job and pay for it. When I see the old man in charge of my family, I will be a guest here first, and I will choose a vacancy for you when I come to Beijing."

Zhuang Xueyan did not expect that he could become an official one day after being unwilling for decades.Although there is no dispatch, but having a spare job and earning a salary can be regarded as having an official status.

Zhuang Xueyan burst into tears with joy and immediately kowtowed in thanks.Chen Shengzhi said: "However, you are not allowed to tell the second person about today's affairs, let alone reveal this three-character poem to others."

Zhuang Xueyan immediately said: "The villain remembers that the gentleman will never forget the great kindness granted to him by Duke Chen."

Chen Shengzhi waved his hand, and Zhuang Xuezhi immediately retreated.

Li Xuezheng sighed: "Mr. Zhuang is better than being an official even if he is an official. Being an official is not about choosing people. If we are fighting for less than half a year in the officialdom, we would rather kill people. , just now is a little happy."

Chen Shengzhi said: "The court's current method of selecting officials can be regulated, but it is not possible to select talents. You don't have to ask for everything. However, it is not without chance that you want to select people to change to Beijing officials."

Li Xuezheng hurriedly said: "Please also ask Chen Gong to show it!"

Chen Shengzhi smiled without saying a word, but picked up the piece of paper of the three-character poem and said, "Pu Wangfu once asked the old man if he had any books for his hair, and now he just offers it."

Li Xuezheng suddenly realized something when he heard the words.

Now the ministers in the court are all about the establishment of the reserve, and they are arguing with the officials.Of course, the ministers said on the surface that the establishment of the reserve was for the safety of the country, but in fact it was for their own future advancement.

However, Chen Shengzhi didn't make a fuss about this matter, and instead went to establish the Pu Wangfu.

Then once the official family establishes an heir, it can be said that Zhao Zong of Puwang's mansion can be said to be out of ten.Chen Shengzhi's move is really clever.

And this three-character poem is mostly dedicated to Zhao Zongshi's eldest son, Fameng, for reading. I heard that this little prince is very young, but he is very eager to learn.And is Chen Shengzhi taking this to imply something to himself?

Li Xuezheng suddenly realized at this moment: "Thank you Chen Gong for your advice. This child's opportunity is also very good."

Chen Shengzhi smiled, and then said: "Hey, there are not a hundred or eighty books in the mansion of the Fa Meng Shu, and it depends on the good fortune of this child. But when it comes to Shi Meng, there is also a Fang family. , Xuezheng might as well take a guess."

Li Xuezheng thought for a while and said, "Could it be that... Wang Jiefu from Linchuan?"

Chen Shengzhi smiled and said, "Of course."

After the four-phase hairpin, Chen Shengzhi and Wang Anshi became acquainted and became friends, and they often exchanged letters.

Chen Shengzhi said with a smile: "When he wrote letters to Uncle Ouyang Yong, he said, 'He can peep at Mencius in his lifetime, so how dare he look at Duke Han in his life'. You see, he compared himself to Mencius and Uncle Ouyang to Han Tuizhi. It's really not small!"

Han Yu once had a theory of Taoism.

This is the earliest saying of Mencius. Confucianism has been passed down from generation to generation. Confucius's learning was followed by Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and Zhou Wenwang. After Confucius, only himself is the true transmission.

And Han Yu also took out Mencius's statement and said it again. In the end, it was only after Mencius that he was the true transmission.

It is true that before Han Yu, very few Confucians learned from Meng, so Han Yu can say that it is the Bole of Mencius.

In the letter between Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu, they compared themselves to Mencius and Ouyang Xiu to Han Yu.

Chen Shengzhi said with a smile: "This person is not astonishing, and he is very stubborn."

Chen Shengzhi remembered that when Wang Anshi was pastoring the judges, he would never raise a glass at a banquet one day. When he knew that Bao Zheng of Kaifeng House personally poured the wine, he said, "Forgive his subordinates and never drink alcohol in his life." 'Even Bao Zheng had no choice but to say that Jiefu is respectful and respectable. "

"A few days ago, Jiefu was thinking about going to the official family and asking the country to have a lot of troubles. At first glance, there were no problems but there were many worries, and it was necessary to change things in the world. The officials are lenient and benevolent, and they like the peace in the world now. Ken can easily change course. After I waited for this book to persuade me, Jiefu did it."

"Therefore, I also want to find something for him. These three-character poems are expected to meet his wishes."

Li Xuezheng nodded and asked, "What about the boy from the Zhang family?"

Chen Shengzhi smiled and said: "Don't disturb him for now, and don't even reveal the news about the prodigy. Besides, it's too early to say that a three-character poem is a genius. After reading it, anyone can write it. out."

"However, such a person still has to be used by me. I can't use it now, and I can use it in the future. But it's not now, and I'm not in a hurry to recruit. It's inevitable for a poor boy like him to run into obstacles, but he has suffered some grievances. He will be grateful to Dade if he recruits him from time to time."

Li Xuezheng also said: "Chen Gong employs people with kindness, and the lower officials admire him."

Zhang Yue didn't know that his Three Character Classic would be seen by the future prime minister Wang Anshi for the first time, or appeared on the desk of the future official's family.

He didn't know that he might even lose his naming rights and be listed under the name of an official or an official's son.

At this moment, Zhang Yue, who was studying in Wuxi, heard bad news.

It was up to Huang that he entered the Sunshine Hall to study.

Who is it that messed up?Zhang Yue thought that there must be an inside story, but only later did he know the reason for the incident, and he was tricked by his second brother again.

It turned out that after the year, the clan learned to collect some children from the clan to study in the Rijintang.

Of course, children with official status are given priority, while children from the Han family like Zhang Yue generally have little chance.However, because of the recommendation of Professor Zhang Youzhi, this was an opportunity.

But in the past few years, because Emperor Renzong did not open up the road of kindness, many people in the Jinshi family like the Zhang family were also honored.Therefore, there are many official children who entered the clan this year. If Zhangyue entered the clan, he would crowd out the seats of the other Guanyin children of the same clan.

In this way, some people complained. He said that Zhang Yue's elder brother Zhang Xu had escaped from marriage, and such a thing that humiliated the clan, how could his younger brother still have the face to enter clan studies?
As soon as this sound came out, it attracted the attention of the Zhang family. After some discussion, even if Zhang Youzhi recommended it, it was useless, and Zhang Yue was ruthlessly brushed down.

ps: The first is to ask for a recommendation ticket!Second update around 11pm!
