Mr. Zhuang sent the officials who came to deliver the booklets, and looked back at his three disciples, "Let's go, tell me what's going on."
After all, Mr. Zhuang is not a member of the officialdom. The news in the court was all from Bai Shan and Zhou Man through various channels.
Bai Shan and the others are in the palace. Don't look at the fact that many people in the court are impeaching Chen Fulin these days, and using Mr. Zhuang to speculate on the holy will, even the prince came out to express his opinion, but no one really asked Mr. Zhuang about the person involved.
So Mr. Zhuang doesn't know anything.
The three disciples just came back from Xiumu in the palace early this morning. As soon as the front foot entered the door, the officials from the back foot came, but they were not looking for the three of them, but him.
Mr. Zhuang was given a letter of appointment.
Bai Shan and the three looked at each other, and finally Zhou Man stood up and narrated the matter from beginning to end, and then said: "Sir, Chen Fulin should pack his things and leave the capital right now."
What Man Bao meant was, do you want to come out and beat the dog in the water before he leaves
Mr. Zhuang looked up at Man Bao, but said nothing.
He lowered his head to open it to look at the official rank on the booklet, feeling in a daze, even though it was only a nine-rank servant lecture, it was something he couldn't ask for when he was young.
Just came here out of nowhere
Mr. Zhuang was silent for a while, closed the booklet and said, "Okay, I understand it as a teacher."
Bai Shan was a little worried, "Sir, are you going to accept this officer?"
Mr. Zhuang said: "Since it was awarded, why not accept it? After all, it is also a salary, isn't it?"
The three of them nodded again and again, it was true.
Mr. Zhuang said it boldly, but he was still very nervous in his heart. He really didn't know how to give a lecture when he went to Chongwen Museum to give lectures.
He has been a teacher for so many years, the three of Bai Shan are the ones who have taught them the longest, and also the ones who have taught them the most. Most of the other children have gone to county schools, prefectural schools or other academies before they have been taught enough.
So there were so many students who were older than Bai Shan and the others, and he was in a daze for a while, not knowing how to teach them.
What does he have to say
Both Bai Shan and Zhou Man are very smart, he gives them lectures to the end, and they can learn from each other, so there is no need for him to worry.
As for Bai Er...
Mr. Zhuang's eyes fell on Bai Er, and his heart gradually settled down. If so, let's teach them as Bai Er taught.
Bai Erlang touched his face, and asked nervously, "Sir, what's wrong with me?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled, stretched out his hand and patted his head and said, "It's okay, come on, tell me what classes you usually take in Chongwen Museum, and how do you teach?"
Most of the attendants in the Chongwen Museum are part-time ministers of the court. Except for Kong Jijiu, who is the prince and Taifu, others, such as Wei Zhi, Li Shangshu, and Ji Wang, are all part-time attendants, ranging from sixth to ninth rank. Part-time job, the emperor gave it very casually, and everyone took it very casually.
Except for them, the other ministers were all transferred from the Imperial Academy. The learned scholars who had passed the Jinshi Department and the official examination were not inferior to Mr. Zhuang.
Anyway, after Mr. Zhuang heard Bai Shan and Bai Erlang carefully describe the content of the lectures of several gentlemen, he found that apart from the lectures being more interesting, he probably had nothing to compare with them.
I don't know what class Chongwen Museum will arrange for him to teach.
That's right, the content of each teacher's class is also limited, one person is responsible for one book, or two people are responsible for one book, but the cognition of the two gentlemen must be very different, so that students can learn more thing.
So the gentlemen in the Chongwen Museum always quarreled.
Man Bao asked curiously, "What book do you want to teach, sir?"
Mr. Zhuang said without thinking, "I want to teach "The Analects of Confucius."
He is most familiar with this book, and this book never tires of learning, even if he can recite it backwards when he is young, he can still learn something when he reads it when he is fluent.
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile, "Or the Tao Te Ching?"
He is also familiar with this book, and he also feels that he will never tire of learning, and he thinks that the prince is more suitable for "Tao Te Ching".
Although he hadn't seen the prince much, he was no stranger to the prince. After all, Man Bao saw people every now and then, and the child never shy away from talking about him at home.
The four masters and apprentices guessed and expected here, and when Mr. Zhuang arrived at the Chongwen Hall on the third day, Man Bao deliberately came out of the study building and sneaked into the back window of the attendants to eavesdrop.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had already occupied a favorable position, and when they saw Man Bao, they hissed, and the three of them went to the window to look in.
Not far away, Liu Huan and Yin Or looked out for them, very puzzled, "Isn't it just to lead the class, don't you know when the class list comes out in the afternoon?"
Yin thought for a while and said, "Are they afraid that Mr. Zhuang will be bullied?"
Liu Huan said: "Even if you are being bullied, you can't tell by words at this moment. They are all scholars."
Yin Ru said, "Just look at the class list."
Yes, just look at the lesson list assigned to Mr. Zhuang.
The business of the Chongwen Museum is Kong Jijiu, so Kong Jijiu personally met with Mr. Zhuang. He has some impressions of Zhuang Xun and what happened more than 20 years ago.
He met Zhuang Xun and Chen Fulin back then, when he was still in the Imperial Academy, knowing that Zhuang Xun was going to be admitted to the Imperial College, he seemed to have recommended him with the master of the Imperial College.
So when it came out that Zhuang Xun plagiarized Chen Fulin's poems, he regretted it for a while.
Seeing Zhuang Xun again at this time, Kong Jijiu nodded slightly to him, and asked him, "Which book are you best at?"
Zhuang Xun said truthfully, "The lower officials are a little more familiar with "The Analects of Confucius" and "Tao Te Ching", but they are still much worse than adults."
"The Analects of Confucius" belongs to the Kong family. Kong Jijiu has been studying it for decades, so he is naturally the most familiar. He smiled and said: "Everyone has discussed, and I want you to give lectures on "Book of Filial Piety". Since you are good at "Tao Te Ching ", it would be better to supplement the Taoist classics."
Zhuang Xun was slightly stunned, and asked: "Has the prince never studied the "Book of Filial Piety"?"
Kong Jijiu sighed, "Of course I have passed it, but this is the intention of the courtiers. Everyone thinks that Your Highness should study the "Book of Filial Piety" again."
Zhuang Xun asked, "Then who taught the "Book of Filial Piety" to the prince before?"
Kong Jijiu: "...me."
Zhuang Xun: ...
Zhuang Xun quickly came back to his senses, and asked Kong Jijiu for some experience.
Kong Jijiu sighed infinitely. When he taught the prince "Book of Filial Piety", he was quite easy to teach. The main reason was that although the prince was naughty at that time, the relationship between the father and son was not bad, so he could basically listen to what the prince said. .
But then the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor deteriorated, and when he talked about the "Book of Filial Piety", the crown prince was very conflicted. The main reason is that the book was broken. No matter what he said, he would end up asking the prince to honor his father and obey the king enter father.
Zhuang Xun took over the task, Man Bao couldn't help but pulled the window angrily, making a noise.
Kong Jijiu turned his head to look, and saw the window shake slightly. He didn't take it seriously, and turned his head to continue talking to Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang also looked away, lowered his head and listened carefully.
