Chapter 152 Longwen Whip Shadow (Part [-])
The arrangement of lecturers is of course very important. After all, when the crown prince becomes the emperor, the lecturer will rise up and become a serious emperor teacher as a rule. This point, needless to say, can be seen at a glance by referring to Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Zhang Juzheng and others.

Therefore, it is obvious that the determination of the candidates for the crown prince's Jingyan lecturer is bound to attract the attention of the courtiers.Although Emperor Longqing was not too old, it is reasonable to say that he was in his prime, but considering that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty often had abnormal life expectancy, it is still necessary to make the most secure preparations.

At this time, since Emperor Longqing had expressed his attitude that the prince must respect his teacher, he had given an explanation to the civil servants, so he naturally wanted to talk about the specific method of today's selection.

Long Qing turned his head, restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "You are invited here today, why are you here? It is to choose a companion for the prince, so that the prince will not be too lonely when he goes out to study. All the lovers are my confidantes. The ministers and their children in the family are not outsiders, so I will say something directly. Because the late emperor had some difficulties, I have suffered from this loneliness, so I have always hoped to wait until the prince is ten years old. Officially leaving the cabinet to study..."

He paused, and then said: "But Mr. Zhang came up to persuade me, his words were sincere and quite reasonable, which made it difficult for me to decide for a while. Later, Mr. Gao also specially talked to me about the prince's study, and analyzed the key points I understand. The matter of the prince studying is not only a matter of my family, but also a fundamental matter that affects the court. I am insignificant, inherit the great rule, work conscientiously, and dare not make mistakes. Joyful? Therefore, at the request of Mr. Gao, Zhang and other ministers, the prince will have a banquet. On March [-]th of this year, the prince will officially leave the cabinet to study."

All the ministers got up quickly, together with Li Sicheng, Gao Wushi and others bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise."

Feng Bao also shouted the same words on the side, but he was disdainful in his heart, and secretly said: We men don't know if your majesty is holy or not, but anyway, as long as your majesty is willing to listen to you, you will always say you are holy, hmph.

Long Qing waved his hand and said again: "Although I promised Mr. Gao to let the prince leave the cabinet to study in advance, I still have to think about the prince, so I made a request to Mr. Gao, hoping to select one of the children of the Chinese officials in Beijing to accompany him. The princes are studying together, and in their spare time, they have the intention of supervising each other and avoiding the prince's loneliness. Seeing my sincerity, Mr. Gao said, "Although it is not a story, it is in line with human feelings", so he agreed."

Everyone secretly said in their hearts: So this is the case?It can't be said that Mr. Gao Ge is wrong. It is indeed not a precedent for the children of civil servants to accompany the prince to study, but there is also no precedent for His Majesty's suffering before the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Out of "humanity" considerations, It makes sense to make this a special case.What's more, was it reasonable to let a group of military officials Xungui's children play with the prince?It would be much better if a son of a civil official served as an accompanying student than those dandies from honorable families who led the prince into ruin.It seems that Mr. Gao Ge has not forgotten that he is a civil servant, not a servant of the emperor.

Seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Long Qing was very happy, and continued, "Although Mr. Gao agrees, I feel that this matter is due to my own selfish intentions. It would be unsightly if the entire capital is troubled, so the scope of the final delineation I'm a little younger. I think that all of you Xiaoqing's family are outstanding people with a long history of family education, and they are all qualified to do this accompanying reading. But after all, only one person is enough for accompanying reading, so today I will take a little exam to correct it. audiovisual."

Everyone came again to "Your Majesty's Holy Spirit", Long Qing accepted all the orders, and said: "I think that although the prince has read some books before, it is not formal after all. When the Sutra feast is held, first of all, it is enlightenment, only With a solid foundation, knowledge can be developed in the future... Therefore, in today's school exam, you don't need to write those Chengwen policy theory, and you don't need any poems and songs, but you are invited to "enlightenment". Put forward your own suggestions. I have ordered people to prepare the text and ink of the book in the side hall, and I ask you all to complete it this morning. There is no limit to the number of words, no limit to the rhythm, and no limit to the style of writing, but you can play to your heart's content."

Then he pointed at Shen Shixing and the others, and said, "These are your 'examiners' for today. They will evaluate your submissions according to the system of general examinations, with vague names. Finally, I, The crown prince and the imperial concubine circulated it for discussion and made a final conclusion."

All the "examiners" took orders one after another, but Shen Shixing came out and said: "Your Majesty, my minister Yongmao is also here today. Because I know the handwriting of my minister, please avoid it. The six examiners are all from Hanlin. His Majesty chooses."

Long Qing was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "If I don't agree, I'm afraid Shen Aiqing would rather die than follow. Well, I will follow the Qing family's request. The Qing family can stop watching and not comment."

Shen Shixing heaved a sigh of relief, bowed again, and bowed back.

Then Meng Chong was still serving in the main hall, while Feng Bao led a group of children to the side hall to "answer questions".

When Gao Wushi was leaving, he glanced at the prince, and saw Zhu Yijun blinked at him, nodded slightly, and said involuntarily, "It's amazing, this kid has a good acting skill since he was a child. How did you not even want to act?

Gao Yushi was not worried about the topic of today's "examination". He originally thought that Long Qing would put the topic on topics such as "the importance of reading for the prince", "what is the most important thing for a king", etc., but he didn't expect that Long Qing might be really affected. Gao Gong has a deep influence and is very pragmatic. I just let the children of each family talk about the best way to open this enlightenment.

Gao Wu said honestly: I originally planned to offer something after becoming the prince's companion, but it seems that I can take out some of it today.

What he was talking about was naturally not soap - that thing had nothing to do with reading and enlightenment.

After being able to enter the side hall, Gao Wu sat down in his seat under Feng Bao's guidance. He wanted to take a look at the expressions of the rest of the people, but he didn't expect that there were many screens to divide the room, and everyone was left alone. There is a space of about five or six square meters below, and there is a long table inside. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it are all ready, and even the ink has been ground.

Well, this treatment is much better than the imperial examinations at all levels. It really is a royal special case.

Since Gao Yushi couldn't see other people's expressions, he simply didn't care what their situation was. After he sat down, he spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and started writing.

"I have heard that it is difficult to use allusions, and it is difficult to use allusions. This is why although there are many words, I can't understand their meaning when I recite them; I am familiar with reading, but I can't understand them after learning. Therefore, I don't make big comments, but for your majesty. Chengchen compiled a volume of Mongolian learning books, hoping to benefit the prince in his studies."
