Chapter 521 Future Tanhua Lang (Ninth)
This is the first lesson Chen Xi formally taught to Prince Zhu Houzhao. Although it is a story, it tells the history of the Song Dynasty in general. The most important thing is to tell Zhu Houzhao a truth: Even if you are the prince, you may not be able to be permanently the throne if you become the emperor in the future. Looking at these lessons from the past, you will be clear about the miserable consequences of being an emperor. ◎,
The prince was young and had no interest in the stereotyped "Four Books" and "Five Classics". This was similar to the mentality of ordinary children. Professor Chen Xi's method was quite novel, but it seemed very inappropriate when citing the weaving. Chen Xi knew that this might cause him trouble, but compared to teaching the prince, this trouble was not important.
Perhaps the emperor knew about this and could probably understand his good intentions!
After one day, Chen Xi only talked about the probing of the urging and "History of the Song Dynasty", and said nothing else. When he came out of Xiefang Hall, Jin Gui sighed: "Shen Zhongyun is too reckless. If he teaches the prince's knowledge, why do you need to have such a big circle? If the prince becomes obsessed with playing, we...ah!"
Jin Gui belongs to the doctrine of the mean. Most of the people who offer services in the Zhanshi Mansion have the same mentality as Jin Gui. When a monk hits a bell for one day, less than one or two people will worry about the good or bad knowledge of the prince. As long as you complete your job, Chen Xi is obviously a little aggressive. In Jin Gui's opinion, there will be no good results.
Chen Xi knew that in ordinary ways, the future result would only match the development of history. Zhu Houzhao would become a playful and unprofitable emperor, with a smart body and a great country left by his father, and squander his life at will. As a result, after his death, he did not even leave his children, and gave his cousins a free gift.
Chen Xi cannot explain these words to others. Could it be that he has great powers to predict the future?
After Chen Xi became a lecturer, his work was much lighter than before, because the lecturer was a shift to give lectures to the prince. There were nine lecturers. Even if someone asked for leave, it would take several days to take a turn. Chen Xi was not an official in the lecturer, so there was no need to give lectures for Emperor Hongzhi every day, so he had to go to the Eastern Palace two or three days later.
The rest of the time is to sort out the case, the daily records of the prince who was in charge of Youzhongyun, and the books compiled by the historian of the Hanlin Academy, who did not need to worry about it for the time being, but he did not do his job in his position. This day is quite free to think about.
Chen Xi was thinking about doing something in the next two days, and as soon as he returned to Zhan Shi Mansion, he was stopped by Wang Yang.
From Wang Liang's not very good-looking face, Chen Xi knew that the other party had already understood what he taught to the prince today.
"Since Shen Zhongyun is the prince's teacher, he should abide by the way of being a teacher. How can he depose the public for personal gain and make the prince's academic career famine?" Wang Yang came up and scolded him.
Chen Xidao: "When Mr. Wang, students probably understand what it means, but since they are teachers, there should be teaching methods, and students just use a method that is not accepted by Mr. Wang."
Wang Jiao looked angry: "Since you have taught the Four Books for the Prince, you are not allowed to dabble in other things. This is the responsibility of the lecturer. From tomorrow, you will follow the two of you whenever you give a lecture. There is no need to teach the prince separately within the year!" After that, he left angrily.
Chen Xi thought to himself, do you think I like to teach classes to naughty children? If you weren't going to Wugong for a while, would I go to give lectures to the prince alone?
But thinking about it, this is great. Every time I go there, I will go with at least two lecturers. Then he has the same responsibilities as before as the Youzhongyun. He is responsible for understanding what other lecturers are saying. He even saves lesson preparation and records. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to follow him and have lunch?
But Chen Xi felt a little unwilling.
It was not because of Wang Yang's rebuke and complaint, but because he felt that he was just wasting his time and taught a disobedient naughty child to learn all day long.
Today, maybe he used some small means to calm the naughty child down and let him listen to a history class, but this is still a thousand miles away from teaching the prince well.
Chen Xi felt that even if he really taught the prince to be a promising young man in the future, he was the crown prince after all. In the future, a bunch of slandered ministers and beauties around him used various means to attract the prince's attention. It would be difficult to learn bad things after learning. Even Chen Xi himself could not guarantee that he could keep his true heart in front of the world of flowers, let alone Zhu Houzhao, who was born in the imperial family?
Teaching the prince well is a false proposition in itself and it is impossible to achieve!
When I got home, Xie Yuner didn't see her coming out to greet her.
Chen Xi passed Lin Dai first, but was still turned away, so he had to go to Xie Yun'er's room to see her. Xie Yun'er had just finished taking a shower and changed into loose clothes and dressing up. Chen Xi came in. Xie Yun'er walked up to show Chen Xi new clothes and smiled and said, "Do you think your husband looks good?"
Chen Xi wanted to reach out to grab Xie Yuner's white wrist, but she didn't expect to catch her. Xie Yuner's face turned slightly red, "My husband just finished his business and should be tired now. I'm asking Xiaoshan and the others to boil water to wash away the fatigue of her husband."
What Chen Xi thought was that he could take a couple bath with Xie Yuner.
Unfortunately, Xie Yuner was a wife for the first time, and she was far from being so sympathetic. Many things still need to be taught slowly by his mature husband.
Xiu'er had just boiled the hot water there, and before Chen Xi could even get enough clothes, Zhu Shan hurried over with a letter of worship. Chen Xi could not predict in advance who would visit him, a powerless Hanlin official. After reading the letter of worship, he couldn't help laughing. It was Xie Qian's second son Xie Pi.
"My husband, what is the position of this Lord Xie in the court?" Xie Yuner thought that Chen Xi's colleague came to visit and moved from Chen Xi to the old house of Xie's family. No court official has come yet. This is considered a blessing. She wanted to do her mistress's duty to entertain guests, but she didn't know where Xie Pi came from.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "He is just a student and has not yet passed the imperial examination. But his father... is the elder Xie Ge of the court, and his wife are still the same family."
Xie Yuner spat gently: "Bah, who is with whom? Xie Ge is from Yuyao, we are from Tingzhou, and we are from all over the world."
It is unrelated to each other, but in a hodgepodge like a capital city, it is normal for the same surname to investigate each other's background.
Xie Qian knew Xie Yuner's family background, and Xie Yuner also knew Xie Qian's ancestral home. In the near future, a famous minister named Xie will come to the capital, which is Xie Duo, who has been appointed as the Imperial College Supervisor, and the real Bole in the Chenxi sense.
Chen Xi went to the front hall to meet the guests. Xie Yuner, as an inner servant, couldn't go there, so she went to the kitchen first and asked Xiu'er to reheat the water so that Chen Xi could bathe with hot water after meeting the guests.
When Chen Xi arrived at the reception room in the front yard, he saw Ning'er smiling and wearing Confucian uniform. Xie Pi, who was gentle and gentle, arrived at the door of the house. It was obvious that Ning'er had already thrown the young master Wang who was not very enlightened to the border and turned his target to the promising young man in front of him, although she didn't know who the young master was.
"Students have met Chen Hanlin."
When Xie Pi saw Chen Xi, he smiled and bowed his hand to the student ceremony.
Chen Xi returned the gift: "Brother Xie is out of the house, this is not a government office. You and I can just sit together and talk. In terms of seniority, Brother Xie is probably above me."
With Xie Qian's age, he was almost the same as Chen Xi's grandfather. Xie Pi could be regarded as Chen Xi's "elder", but the two families had no blood relationship. Chen Xi and Xie Qian were ministers in the same palace. Chen Xi called himself a student in front of Xie Qian. Like Xie Pi called himself a student in front of him, neither of them had formally become a disciple. They were just a title, and they could do anything.
Xie Pi said: "It is impossible to be in power. Chen Hanlin is now a lecturer in the Eastern Palace. It is a great honor for students to come to visit as late school students. How dare they be the chief?"
Chen Xi did not discuss too much about etiquette with Xie Pi, so he directly asked him to sit in the living room. Ning'er quickly came over to serve tea. He stood by Shen Xi without leaving, and looked at Xie Pi with a smile.
It is obvious that Xie Pi is much better than the royal tomb in terms of appearance and character, and has a noble background, but...
Chen Xi was a little helpless, Ning'er, Ning'er, okay? If everyone is like me, they will marry a woman who is a few years older than me?
Ning'er and Xie Pi were very unfit because she was not worthy of the second young master in the palace. She was not at all. Xie Pi was only seventeen years old, and Ning'er was almost twenty-two. If Ning'er hadn't signed the contract for sale, the government would have forced her to marry her.
What's more, Xie Pi is a Tanhualang in the future.
"What's the matter with Brother Xie coming today?" Chen Xi ignored Ning'er, who was a foggy man, and asked Xie Pi.
Xie Pi did not notice that a woman next to him was delusional about him. At this time, his eyes were all on Shen Xi. "The students were quite respectful to Chen Hanlin's talent and always hoped to have the opportunity to visit him. Recently, I heard that Chen Hanlin was not only talented but also had a good study of calligraphy and painting. His father once had a painting of Wang Meng's landscape. I want to use this to ask for advice on the authenticity of Chen Hanlin's painting."
Chen Xi just noticed that the scroll in Xie Pi was holding a hand was originally a celebrity calligraphy, but after hearing what he said, it turned out to be Wang Meng's landscape.
Chen Xi immediately thought of seeing a landscape painting of Wang Meng at Xie Qian's house, or one of the two paintings he made forged to sell to Han Xie through a calligraphy and painting shop. Han Xie originally used those two paintings to cling to the powerful and powerful, one for Lin Zhongye, and the other for Nanjing when he left office.
Xie Pi presented the painting and Chen Xi opened it to see it. It was indeed the one he made.
Even if Han Xie didn't give the painting directly to Xie Qian, it was the one who was accomplicing Han Xie to give it to him. Chen Xi felt a lot of emotion when he saw the fake paintings he painted to raise tuition fees when he was young. Now he asked him to buy it several times more, which is quite memorable.
"This is Wang Meng's landscape... It looks very fair and honest. Could it be... Brother Xie thinks it is a fake?"
Chen Xi would not admit that it was a fake. This painting contains the inscription by Li Dongyang. Xie Qian also wrote the inscription and hung the painting at home to show it. It shows that the two major scholars in front and back did not realize that this was a fake painting, and Xie Pi was also very likely to know it.
Chen Xi thought to himself that this might just be an excuse for Xie Pi to come to visit. Xie Pi came here mainly because he was reluctant to meet in Xie's house. Xie Pi had a cheerful personality. When he saw a young top scholar like Chen Xi, he felt admiration. So he wanted to make friends, but he was afraid that Chen Xi would be arrogant and refused to give him a visit.
Xie Pi smiled and said, "The students only have some small problems. They want to ask Chen Hanlin for advice. I wonder if Chen Hanlin can give students a chance?"
Chen Xi hesitated and said, "I don't understand Brother Xie's intention very well."
Xie Pi had a pleading look on his face: "That's right, the students have a few classmates who admired Chen Hanlin very much. The students once boasted in front of them that they could invite Chen Hanlin as a guest of honor. Today there is a literary lecture, so they took the liberty to invite him."
