Chapter 26: The meaning of the exchange of lecturers

It's already time to take the lights.

Even in the Forbidden City, except for several palaces, they are all trapped in darkness.

Before Zhu Qizhen's imperial case, there were two rows of candlelight on both sides, and countless stars gathered together, making more and more orders. Although it was a little dim in the hall.

But the visibility is not bad.

Wang Zhen stood beside Zhu Qizhen and grind the ink gently.

Zhu Qizhen was holding a pen and writing big characters in a regular manner. The last few words: "Those who read later will also feel the politeness."

After writing, Zhu Qizhen leaned back, leaned on the backrest, handed the pen to Wang Zhen, rubbed his wrist and said, "Mr. Li is really hard to serve."

Wang Zhen took the pen, put it on the pen aside, and brought a cup of hot tea, saying, "What Your Majesty said is so true. This is a little ungrateful. Your Majesty is the master of Wancheng. You can just look at the overall situation. Could it be that your Majesty must be asked to study and take the exam for a scholar? Otherwise, I will tell the Empress Dowager to change your Majesty to another lecturer."

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Of course he knew Wang Zhen’s resentment towards Li Shimian. However, Zhu Qizhen had a good impression of Li Shimian, although it was a little more severe.

However, in later generations, I have never seen any kind of teacher that I have learned in more than ten years.

No matter what Li Shimian said, he was dedicated and had a dignified character. He was also very smart. When he was giving lectures, he took the focus on broad struggle. Although Zhu Qizhen did not mean to make things difficult, he asked some questions, as long as he was in the field of classics and history, there was no one Li Shimian could not answer.

In later generations, he was also a top student.

Moreover, Wang Zhen seemed to have not listened to Li Shimian's lecture carefully, but Zhu Qizhen himself had feelings.

Li Shimian obviously relaxed his requirements for him.

Otherwise, based on the standard of subtle meaning, the Analects of Confucius will not be repeated for several years.

Li Shimian generally felt that Zhu Qizhen was not going to take the imperial examination after all, and many places were relaxed, as long as Zhu Qizhen could understand the righteousness of the saints.

However, even if you relax, Zhu Qizhen still has to recite the letter every day.

Not to mention anything else, I will read the ministers’ memorials in the future. They used a few allusions in it. Zhu Qizhen couldn’t understand it and understood the mistakes, so he made a joke.

It can be said that most people in later generations, even if they were highly educated, came to this era, in the eyes of literati, there was no big difference between them and illiterate people.

How can you call a scholar without reading the books of sages?

In fact, Zhu Qizhen secretly speculated in his heart that Li Shimian was like this, did he think he had already taken power?

Because Zhu Qizhen was dissatisfied with the current political structure from Li Shimian's words, whether it was the expansion of the eunuch's power or the heroine's rule.

Orthodox scholars like Li Shimian think it is wrong.

However, Li Shimian was not a person who didn't know that he was too rigid. He knew that Zhu Qizhen could not bear the responsibility of the emperor. However, when he started teaching Zhu Qizhen, he found that Zhu Qizhen had a strong ability to accept, so he naturally had to teach the emperor as soon as possible and could take on major responsibilities and end this abnormal power structure.

However, Zhu Qizhen himself may not have thought of changing the lecturer.

It’s not that Li Shimian is not good.

But Li Shimian is so good.

He is upright and devotes himself to teaching Confucianism into Zhu Qizhen's heart to correct the king's heart.

But Zhu Qizhen did not think that learning Confucianism was an urgent task.

During this period, Zhu Qizhen gradually adapted to this era.

Wang Zhen is the eunuch around him, and the memorials and documents of the world are as long as Zhu Qizhen wants to read them, Wang Zhen will definitely not hide anything. Before, the Empress Dowager selected the memorials and explained them to Zhu Qizhen.

But now it's turned over.

However, it was Zhu Qizhen who selected the memorials compiled by Wang Zhen. If he couldn't understand what he was interested in, he would ask the Empress Dowager to explain it.

Once such procedures are reversed, Zhu Qizhen's time spent on government affairs will greatly increase.

Zhu Qizhen even figured out the bottom line of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager did not object to Zhu Qizhen's reading of the memorials. But one thing is that he was not allowed to review the memorials.

The Empress Dowager submitted most of the memorials to the cabinet.

Wang Zhen may have some tricks, but the Empress Dowager decided not to allow Zhu Qizhen to deal with the government affairs.

That is, it can only be seen.

But everyone's time of day is the same. Li Shi reluctantly assigned Zhu Qizhen very much, especially when practicing calligraphy, Zhu Qizhen's wrist hurts every day.

But there is no way, the stinky word is really ugly.

It even made Li Shimian feel that his foundation was broken and hopeless. If you want to save it, you can only increase your efforts to reverse it, and practice more and write more, and copy more.

Zhu Qizhen did not think what Li Shimian taught was not important, but he felt that the Ming Dynasty itself was more interesting than Confucianism and calligraphy.

He even understood what the Ming Dynasty looked like today.

This is the essence of him being an emperor.

So he needed more time, but he was in conflict with Li Shimian's homework.

Wang Zhen has been with Zhu Qizhen for a long time, and he is good at guessing people's hearts. Although Zhu Qizhen said nothing, he only figured out Zhu Qizhen's ideas.

After Wang Zhen placed Zhu Qizhen to bed, he left the Qianqing Palace and waved his hand to a small eunuch.

The little eunuch was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and looked particularly trembling and said, "Godfather, call me."

Wang Zhen's face was gloomy, and the lanterns in the distance shone on Wang Zhen's face, and he felt more and more gloomy. He said lightly: "Tomorrow you go to see Ma Shun, tell him to keep a blind eye on Li Shimian. If there is any mistake, it will be reported."

The little eunuch listened and said with a smile: "Why do you have to do this? The Jinyiwei has always been an expert in frame-ups? No mistakes are made, just make mistakes."

Wang Zhen slapped the little eunuch in the face with a "pop", and a bright red slap was printed on the little eunuch's face. Wang Zhen said sternly: "What do you know? Li Shimian is also His Majesty's teacher, and the Empress Dowager is staring at him. How can such a thing be done?"

"Go quickly."

The little eunuch immediately said, "Yes, godfather, I'll go to the palace gate to wait now. As soon as the door opens tomorrow, I'll go to pass on the message."

Wang Zhen waved his hand and asked him to go.

Wang Zhen sighed in his heart: "Our young master is not a good-for-nothing lamp." He was very strange in his heart. In fact, the smarter the emperor, the sadder Wang Zhen was. However, Wang Zhen saw Zhu Qizhen growing up. When he first entered the palace, he saw Emperor Taizong.

Zhu Di was one of the hard-to-serve emperors throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Having seen Emperor Taizong's majesty, in Wang Zhen's mind, being an emperor should be like Emperor Taizong. The more smart Zhu Qizhen was, the less dared the people below dared to deceive him.

Instead, he had a feeling that my family felt like they had grown up.

Of course, he never dared to say this feeling, he only dared to think about it when it was late at night.

Then he focused on how to get rid of Li Shimian.

Wang Zhen also knew Li Shimian's reputation. I think it would be difficult to grasp any handle if the Jinyiwei did not fabricate it out of thin air, but it was not that he could not get rid of it without the handle.

Wang Zhen said in his heart: "Li Shimian is of course famous, but can the Hanlin Academy agree to the position of a lecturer? Don't the scholars know the evil spirit of scholars?"

"As the Imperial Master, I am willing to give it to Li Shimian with such a great honor?"

"San Yang is old, maybe he won't fight anymore. After all, when the young master grows up and takes power, they should probably retire and return home. But the people below have no idea."

"Even if I don't have any ideas, I'll let him have it."

"Li Shimian, you will not be in the position of a lecturer next year." The hatred between Wang Zhen's eyes almost condensed into substance, and he said to himself: "If you let me go several times, if the miscellaneous family let you go, I will not be named Wang."

"I'll wait until I get the position of a lecturer and I'll let you live for a few years before dealing with it."

No, Wang Zhen made a decision to deal with Li Shimian immediately. But the Empress Dowager was still there, and Wang Zhen did not dare to make a big fuss, and Li Shimian was not an ordinary person, and his name spread all over the world.

Wang Zhen has dealt with it and may cause trouble.

However, the Empress Dowager will not be there forever, and even if she is there, she will not always pay attention to Li Shimian.

That's when he started.
