Chen Xi asked himself that he had not reached the time when he was open to teach his apprenticeship. On the one hand, he felt that his ability was insufficient, and on the other hand, he was not suitable for his age!

Accepting disciples is not a glorious thing. If you accept disciples, you have to be responsible for their future. Therefore, in addition to spreading your own thoughts and academics, you also hope that your disciples can have a good future and become famous. In this era of importance on the inheritance of teachers, no matter what students encounter in the future, as a teacher, you can only share honor and disgrace.

The result of accepting disciples is only a big trouble. Now Shen Xi doesn’t even care about himself, and he still has the heart to take care of others?

Chen Xidao: "I am not good at learning and have no plans to teach my disciples. Besides, I am now working in the Zhanshi Mansion and will cause gossip for no reason."

Feng Yi stubbornly said: "Does Chen Hanlin really care about other people's opinions so much? The students came to your school just to listen to the teachings... The knowledge that Chen Hanlin had taught Mr. Xie to spread before has benefited the students a lot..."

Chen Xi continued to shake his head, his attitude was extremely firm.

"It is better for you and I to be together. After drinking this cup of tea with Brother Feng, let's leave each of you." Chen Xi raised the tea cup, "I'm still busy with business."

Seeing that Chen Xi was unwilling to accept it, Feng Yi could only leave with regret.

After leaving, Chen Xi was still wondering whether he really had such a great personality charm that could make a young man who passed the exam and was arrogant and arrogant to come to his schoolmate?

When Chen Xi told Xie Yuner about this matter, Xie Yuner felt that Feng Yi's actions were nothing wrong: "...If I am a man, I have to do research and know that my husband is outstanding in his talent and knowledge, and I will not pay attention to secular prejudice, and I will firmly study under my husband's school. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Feng's approach?"

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "It's not a question of whether it's right or wrong. I just think his purpose of seeking me as his teacher is not that simple."

Xie Yuner thinks from a normal perspective. Isn’t it natural for those who are studying to find a good teacher? Of course, she doesn’t know that there may be problems such as “interest entanglement” behind this.

Benefits are not necessarily money, but also involve reputation, career prospects, etc.

Chen Xi is now a lecturer in the Eastern Palace, which is equivalent to the prince's husband. When he comes to his disciple, he is equivalent to becoming the prince's "brothers". If he says it, it will greatly improve his reputation and social status.

In addition, Chen Xi works in Zhan Shi Mansion. He is currently the Right De. According to the rules of previous years, the main examinations of Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture were held by Hanlin officials. Among them, Zhan Shi Mansion was also a lecturer in the East Palace. The academic officials who were lecturers of Japanese lecturers had the most chance. Although Chen Xi is young, his current official position is very likely to become the examiner in the provincial examinations of Shuntian Prefecture next year.

Feng Yi was kind to the point, and Chen Xi also believed that he was not pretending to be hypocritical, but if Feng Yi had no idea about utilitarianism in his heart, he would not believe it anyway.

Two days later, when Chen Xi talked to Xie Duo and printed the book, he told the matter. Xie Duo laughed and pointed at Chen Xi and said, "If I were you, I would definitely accept this disciple. I think you have only been in the capital for one or two years, and you are alone in power. If you have disciples in the future, someone will do anything for you. And during the holidays, the family will be more filial to you?"

Chen Xi frowned and retorted: "Mr. Xie usually takes the prerequisite for accepting disciples. Do you want to be more filial to you?"

Xie Duo was not angry and still laughed constantly. It was obvious that his words were to entertain Chen Xi, so he didn't feel any harsh about Chen Xi's counterattack.

After laughing, Xie Duo sighed: "After having a certain reputation, more and more people come to the door to ask for a meeting, and many people submit posts to become disciples. If you are following the Hanlin Congshi, you will inevitably encounter similar things. How to politely refuse without offending others, you have to think about it."

Chen Xi deeply agreed with this.

Xie Duo means that everyone is in the world of fame and fortune, but what you are experiencing now is what I had experienced back then. At first, I feel extremely honored and think that this is the affirmation of the society. But over time, I understand that these people do not really admire your talents, but just want to make political investments.

...

...

By early August, the weather gradually became colder, and Chen Xi no longer felt that teaching the prince was a brain-intensive task.

Standing and telling a history to the naughty child, and then letting the naughty child review it for a while, the two of them were lazy and they were quite relaxed in the class.

Emperor Hongzhi had to assess the progress of the prince's study of the twenty-one history, which was not difficult for Chen Xi. As long as the prince remembered the great achievements made by those figures at each stage of history.

For others, it is difficult to connect these together, but for a university professor who has advanced teaching philosophy from hundreds of years later, these things are simply.

Timeline, notes, appropriate spot checks, and some flexible applications... In Shen Xi's view, all aspects he examined may be more comprehensive than the problems mentioned by Emperor Hongzhi. It is more targeted for a young prince to understand how to be a king who governs the world in the future.

"I've been so tired these days. Can you learn something else?" Zhu Houzhao memorized for a while, a little dissatisfied. She worked hard to memorize the book here, but Chen Xi was reading it leisurely there.

When it was his turn to rest, Zhu Houzhao threw the notes that Chen Xi gave him on the table and shouted at Chen Xi.

In front of those old lecturers, Zhu Houzhao did not dare to make arguing casually. At most, he would skip classes and avoid those old lecturers, but he did not have much hypocritical respect to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi sat behind the desk, holding the book in his hand and glanced at the prince. Hearing the words, he glanced at the prince and asked, "What do you want to learn?"

Zhu Houzhao waved her sleeves, moved the paper and pen and books aside, and sat on the table in a big way: "Even if it's not fun, it should be interesting. These old guys have asked me to learn this and that just like I've drunk chicken blood. Just be nicer, but what I've learned is too boring!"

"Down!"

Chen Xi stared at her eyes and shouted loudly. Zhu Houzhao obediently moved her butt off the table, but pouted, obviously a little dissatisfied.

Chen Xidao, "To be a prince, you must be the prince, otherwise who will be afraid of you when you go out?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but lit up when she heard this. She looked around and ran to Chenxi a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "Take me out for a walk, I've always wanted to know what's going on outside."

Full of curiosity about the outside world, this is the genericity of a child locked in a narrow world. Chen Xi smiled and said, "Want to go out and see? Yes, as long as I can pass this assessment smoothly, I don't mind... I'll find a way to let you go out by the prince."

"oh!?"

Zhu Houzhao was extremely excited when she heard this, but she still looked at the attendants and eunuchs who were drinking tea and resting next to her, and then she leaned against Chen Xi's ear and asked, "You won't lie to me, are you?"

Chen Xi said: "You are the prince, I am a minister, do I dare to lie to you?"

"Okay, just wait for your words. If I pass this exam successfully, then you will take me out and have a look... I'd have wanted to go out long ago, but the palace gate is so strict that it cannot be overcome, hum."

Zhu Houzhao clenched her fists, as if she was a little dissatisfied with his father, Emperor Hongzhi, but he immediately thought of another question, "Mr. Chen, you are so cunning. You said it was passed, but how can you pass it?"

Chen Xidao: "At least let Your Majesty be satisfied with what you have learned recently."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said with some uncertainty: "This is how..."

It seems that this kid is starting to be foolish.

I don’t want to review well, but I also want to get good grades in the exam and get rewards. Do you think it’s easy to take you out to the palace gate? If you don’t make a fuss, you have to move your head!

Chen Xi never thought about why he agreed to Zhu Houzhao so happily. When he thought about it, he probably felt that the flowers in the greenhouse should go out to see the world and occasionally feel the storm. This is a responsibility as a teacher. In addition to letting students learn the knowledge in books, they also need to understand the living conditions of the people in the city, because this student will be the master of the world in the future, manage a huge country, and be troubled by the people of the world's food, clothing, housing, transportation and labor.

I'm helping you, not taking you out for a mess!

Before the rest time had passed, Zhu Houzhao picked up the notes and started reading them, but this time he read them loudly, deliberately trying to let everyone inside and outside the back hall hear it.

Chen Xi looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile. How could this naughty child hide his little thoughts? But that's fine. When Emperor Hongzhi passed the assessment, he picked up the record of the prince's work and rest and study. Hehe, he was actually studying day and night during the lunch break. At that time, the credit would naturally be recorded on his head.

After school time was over in the afternoon, Zhu Houzhao was still holding the notes Chen Xi gave him, but now he was no longer energetic to read aloud again, but he was just watching there with no energy.

Chen Xi gave Zhu Houzhao an encouraging look, then sorted out the case and came out of Xiefang Palace. Before the person arrived at Zhan Shi Mansion, he met Liang Chu, who was also a lecturer in the Eastern Palace.

"Meet Bachelor Liang."

Liang Chu was nearly fifty years old. He was a senior secretary of Zuochunfang and a bachelor of lecturers in the Hanlin Academy. He received a fourth-rank salary. He was a very famous official in the Zhanshi Mansion. However, because he had long taught the prince, he was only a lecturer in the Eastern Palace and had not attended the Japanese lecturer or a lecturer.

Liang Chushi was in Zuochunfang and had few interactions with Chen Xi on weekdays. In the past, he just greeted him simply and did not communicate much, but this time he took the initiative to find Chen Xi.

"Chen Yude can a memorial service for his master the day before yesterday?"

Liang Chu was a little grateful in his words, probably because he heard about the memorial service held by Chen Xi for his predecessor, Chen Xianzhang, in Dahua Temple.

Chen Xidao: "Without the permission of Mr. Baisha's family and Gaozu, the official held a private memorial service. He also asked Mr. Liang not to be surprised."

Liang Chu sighed lightly: "Chen Yude remembers that there is a teacher who is so grateful to me..."

Liang Chu was deeply moved by Chen Xi's actions, which made him not a good official in front of Shen Xi, and he was very close to Chen Xi. "I heard that Chen Yude had a lot of knowledge about what his teachers and students learned, but I wonder if this happened?"

Chen Xi replied respectfully: "The official has read Mr. Baisha's works and yearns for it."

"So that's it." Liang Chu smiled with relief, "What is the unclear thing about the prince in the future? You can discuss it with each other."

Chen Xi never expected that just by chance, he would be favored by Liang Chu, the chief assistant of the Taiwan Pavilion. He originally had Liang Chu's status in the Zhan Shi Mansion, even if he had a cursed face, he might not have given him a good look.

Perhaps his "flattering" method is too unique.

If Chen Xi publicly held a memorial service for Chen Xianzhang in his own name, the traces of the axe were too obvious, and you could tell at a glance that he had other motivations. As a result, he asked Xie Pi to preside over the forum and expressed deep condolences for Chen Xianzhang's death at the forum. At the same time, he summarized Chen Xianzhang's academic thoughts and outstanding contributions in a general way.

When there were not many people left, Chen Xi came out to express his views on Chen Xianzhang's past, and vigorously praised him, hailed him as "single and extraordinary", "the Taoist teachings Confucius and Mencius for three thousand years, and the first branch of Shao, Cheng and Zhu" and raised Chen Xianzhang to a new height.

After a high-profile memorial, people naturally knew that the organizer behind this memorial service was Chen Xi, especially because he strongly praised Chen Xianzhang's academic achievements, but he deliberately maintained a modest and cautious attitude. All kinds of coincidences touched Liang Chu and led him as a close friend. This was a surprise gain from Chen Xi.

Liang Chu's status in Zhan Shi's Mansion became increasingly prosperous. If history did not change, in the early years of Zhengde, Liang Chu was promoted to the Minister of Personnel and participated in the compilation of "The Records of Emperor Xiaozong". Later, he was granted the title of Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and participated in the cabinet to participate in the civil service. In the following years, he was appointed as Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace and was awarded the title of Young Tutor, Prince Taifu, Shaoshi, Prince Taishi and Prince Taishi. In the tenth year of Zhengde, the chief assistant Yang Tinghe returned to his hometown to mourn, and Liang Chu would be appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

In the Baisha School, Liang Chu's status was second only to Chen Xianzhang, and he had countless disciples and disciples.

Being able to gain Liang Chu's recognition will be of great benefit to Chen Xi, both in the officialdom and in the Confucian world.
