dream of red mansion

Sun Wangwang, who was in the audience, knew it was going to be bad when he heard it. As expected, Fang Shou retorted: "Poetry makes people smart, how can it be useless? If you don't understand poetry, it makes you look vulgar. How can talent be convincing if it cannot be announced?

As for the college's system, hey, I suggested that the Imperial Academy set up this course, but some people just don't listen, and I can't do it either. "

Speaking of which, what else do you not understand?Similar to later generations, the subjects of the examination determine the content of the study. Anyway, the imperial examination does not test poetry, and most people have difficulty in poetry, so, hehe, it will become a rule after a long time.

Judging from the current situation, it is difficult to add a poetry class to the academy even if it is a sacrifice.

Seeing that Liu Hong still wanted to ask a question, Sun Fuwang interrupted: "Okay Liu Hong, Mr. Fang hasn't finished speaking yet, so I'll talk about it later if you have any questions."

Of course Liu Hong didn't dare to say anything more.Fang Shou looked at himself, an old friend of the same year who made the sacrificial wine, and didn't want to lose his face too much. After a smile, he said: "Okay, I mentioned the role of reading just now, the next thing is of course, since reading is useful , then how to read the book?

However, these issues are what the teachers in the college should talk about, so I won't say much here.

I only mention one aspect, that is: a scholar must love and cherish books in order to be able to read and understand books!

I would like to ask everyone, how do you usually look at books. "As he spoke, his eyes scanned the more than a hundred students below.

The positions of the students were divided into groups. Although Jia Qing was considered tall among his peers, a little taller than Jia Baoyu, he was very conspicuous among the surrounding group of people above twelve or thirty.

Sure enough, Fang Shou's gaze immediately focused on Jia Qing, and said, "I just want to find someone younger, so you can answer my question!"

Seeing that he instantly attracted the attention of the surroundings, Jia Qing was thinking, is this really the aura of the protagonist?But he won't have stage fright or anything like that, after all, he has seen bigger scenes several times.

He straightened his body calmly and listened to Fang Shou: "Do you cherish your books on weekdays?"

Uh~ Can there be a second answer to this question on this occasion?Jia Qing replied weakly: "Cherish~"

After receiving such a reply, Fang Shou also realized that he had asked nonsense, coughed lightly and said, "Then what do you think of the book you read?"

What do you think?This is hard to say, of course it is a tool to enter the official career.However, if he said this sentence, he would probably be sprayed to death. He didn't want to finish the game so quickly, and in the midst of a quick brainstorm, he already thought of a very clever reply.Answer: "Mr. Fang, the students think that books are the ladder of human progress."

"What did you say? What is a book?"

Not knowing whether it was because Jia Qing's voice was too low or because he was standing far away, Fang Shou asked again after hearing the words.

Clearing his throat, Jia Qing said loudly: "Students believe that books are the ladder of human progress!"

Now the people in the room basically heard clearly.The entire auditorium seemed to be silent, because everyone was thinking about the meaning of Jia Qing's words!

Fang Shou is a person who loves and cherishes books. Of course, he understands the meaning of this sentence thoroughly. However, although any official or even a scholar thinks this sentence makes sense, he may not be surprised.But the first time he heard this sentence came from a child, he was very surprised.

After a pause, Fang Shou asked again: "What's your name, did someone tell you what you said just now?"

"Reporting to Master Fang, the student's name is Jia Qing. What you said just now is nonsense from the student. If it is wrong, please correct me."

Of course, this sentence is not original by Jia Qing, but a translation of Gorky's famous saying.He can't remember what era Gorky was from, but he is not afraid, even if there is such a person in the country to the north, they don't speak the same language anyway, and he is not afraid that people will say that he is plagiarizing...

"Is he Jia Qing?"

"So he is Jia Qing!"

……

Most of the gentlemen in front had never met Jia Qing, but many people had heard of him, so as soon as he announced his family name, he immediately attracted some discussions.

Jia Qing?Fang Shou silently kept the name in his heart, nodded, and said to everyone: "Student Jia said very well just now, books are the ladder of human progress! Because of the existence of books, the thoughts of generations of sages can be improved." It has been preserved intact and has become the spiritual food of our descendants. It is precisely because of these spiritual food that we can grow, progress, and create splendid civilizations one after another!

Well, I will talk about this today, and I will come to the college to give lectures to you when I have the opportunity. "

After speaking, he walked down the stage.Just as Jia Qing raised his hand to applaud, he found that no one had made such a move, so he paused and put it down embarrassingly.

Only then did he remember that in ancient times there was no habit of applauding to welcome and send off together, only applauding when expressing happiness.For example: words such as forehead and hands celebrating, clapping hands and applauding.

After Fang stood guard, no one came up to speak at last.Afterwards, they were taken by the sacrificial wine to worship in front of the statue of Confucius, which means that they have entered the Confucian school since then.This is the last event for today, and the official class will start tomorrow.

So after a breakup, Jia Qing went back to his dormitory, and after standing for a whole day, he really felt very tired.

Chapter 46 Fang Yunchu and Sun Xingzhi

In Sun Wangwang's office room.

Fang Shou and Sun Wangwang sat opposite each other, drinking tea together.

Sun Fuwang looked at his old friend who was already showing signs of aging, and asked: "This time the emperor summoned Brother Yunchu, do you have any instructions for returning to the capital?"

Fang Shou smiled slightly and said: "The emperor didn't say much when he summoned me a while ago, but he just expressed his condolences to me and told me to go back to the mansion to have a good rest, saying that there will be some errands for me to do soon."

What errand needs to recall an old friend back to the capital?There are a large number of Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy who have nowhere to go, and with the reputation of old friends, ordinary positions are definitely not suitable.Suddenly recalling the rumors he heard a few days ago, Sun Fuwang's heart skipped a beat.

"Perhaps Brother Yunchu's chance to become famous is coming soon!"

Fang Shou shook his head and said: "Half of your body is going to be buried in the ground and you are talking about success and fame. Don't make fun of me if you do it."

"How is it a joke, brother Yunchu, do you know that there was a discussion in the court a few years ago about re-election of a minister?"

Fang Shou asked curiously, "Oh? I heard that there are already four people in the cabinet. Why do we need to discuss who will join the cabinet?"

Sun looked forward and said: "Brother Yunchu doesn't know something. Since Liu Yong resigned as the chief assistant, he was promoted by the second assistant. Although he also promoted Cui Wenlong, then Minister of the Household Department, into the cabinet after he ascended the throne, but after all, his reputation and None of their qualifications can compare with the previous three..."

Fang Shou was silent when he heard the words, why he didn't understand when he said this, remembering the scene when the emperor summoned him, although he didn't say it clearly, he thought about it.

Once you enter the cabinet, you will reach the peak of being a minister, which is an opportunity that every civil servant dreams of.It's just that the emperor allowed him to join the cabinet at this time, so it is inevitable that he will be suspected of seizing power for him.Those three humerus ministers were reused by the Supreme Emperor when he was in power. Liu Yong's abdication can be regarded as a great embarrassment to Jinshang, but the remaining three are not simple roles. If he is called into the cabinet by Jinshang , will inevitably divide their rights.

Will the Supreme Emperor agree?

The struggle for imperial power has been cruel since ancient times, can I wade through this muddy water?

Sun Fu looked at Fang Shou in front of him and understood what he was thinking, but he felt that it was unnecessary, so he persuaded: "Brother Yunchu, why worry too much, it's fine if the emperor doesn't have such thoughts, but if you order you to enter Pavilion, can you still not follow, Brother Yunchu?

As for the so-called struggle for imperial power, brother Yunchu only needs to stick to the way of a courtier, and it will not be a big problem, and he can even take advantage of his healthy body to make use of his spare heat to make a career. "

Fang Shou listened and said: "As brother Xing said, this is Fang being hypocritical. If it is true as brother Xing guessed, then I will have to bother brother Xing a lot in the future, and then don't hate me. eventful."

Sun Fuwang smiled and said, "I can't ask for it!"

"Okay, it's getting late, so I'll go back home first. Oh, by the way, I didn't worry about Brother Xing's difficulties in front of the students before, so please forgive me if I offended you."

Sun Fuwang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't know you yet? It hasn't changed for so many years, besides, if you save me face in this matter, then you are not Fang Yunchu!"

"Haha, Brother Xing understands me!"

Then Sun Wangwang sent Fang Shou out of the Imperial College.

Sitting in his carriage, Fang Shou lifted the curtain and said to his long follower Sun Rong, "Please ask me about someone. To be precise, it is a child named Jia Qing, who is about ten years old."

Sun Rong said: "But the supervisor in the Imperial College?"

"Exactly! But he should be easy to inquire about. He seems to be quite famous. Remember to inquire more clearly and come back to me at night." Fang Shou said and put back the curtain.
