Be a master through ancient times

"Yesterday, the Guozijian students gathered in the Hongwen Hall to fight, which was insulting to the gentlemen. This incident started because of the endless dispute between the two directors on the spot. The two were unable to stop them afterwards, causing many people to be injured. The two You are in vain as a teacher, please ask the Holy One to observe clearly."

The people at Yushitai were much smarter this time, and when they first heard the news about the Guozijian, they were all somewhat lacking in interest.After being defeated by Chu Ci's lip service a few times, they all knew that he was eloquent and constantly making fallacies, and it was really hard to subdue him.

But after carefully listening to the content of the news, they immediately got excited. The evidence of the fraud this time should be conclusive. Let's see how Chu Ci can turn around!However, according to the previous lessons, they should act cautiously, so they did not directly mention the fraud in the court, but first drew attention from the fight, and then told the truth through the mouth of Gu Siye, In this way, even if the Chuci child wins the debate again, they will not be responsible for the Yushitai.If he loses, heh, don't blame them for beating the dog in the water!

"Qin Yushi is really powerful. What happened just yesterday can be impeached in front of the Holy One today." Master Zhu laughed.

"It is the censor's responsibility to supervise all officials. What does Master Zhu mean by this?" Qin Yushi asked with a serious face.

"Qin Yushi, don't be overwhelmed. I just want to say that your Yushitai is well-informed, but there is no other meaning." Zhu Tingqing waved his hands quickly, with an innocent expression on his face.

"Okay, don't quarrel with the two lovers. Pass on my password and invite the two ministers of the Imperial College to come to the palace." The emperor said, he was not used to hearing the news of Chu Ci after a while.

"Here!"

……

Chu Ci was sitting in the Siye Hall when he suddenly heard a palace official come to announce the decree. When he arrived at the Shengxun Hall to listen to the decree, he found that Gu Siye had also come.The two looked at each other, and both saw disgust in each other's eyes.

"Pass on the password of the sage, and the two ministers will immediately enter the palace to have an audience, hereby!"

The two said together: "My minister obeys the order."

Chu Ci stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and followed the palace servants out.At this time, Gu Siye felt a little panic. Except for the time of the palace examination to thank him, he had never stepped into that hall, nor had he spoken a word to His Majesty.

When the palace man in front stopped to ask suspiciously, he hurriedly followed.

"Guozijian Chu Ci, Gu Cheng, please see the emperor!"

"Xuan!"

"My minister, Chu Ci, and Gu Cheng have an audience with the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Get up. I heard that the two lovers had a quarrel in the Imperial College yesterday, which caused the students to gather and fight. Is there such a thing?"

"Going back to the emperor, I am ashamed of myself. I was indeed a little unhappy with Gu Siye yesterday, and I couldn't control my emotions in time. It really shouldn't be. As for the students' petty fights, it is actually harmless. They are young and young. He is high-spirited, and it is understandable to go out of line occasionally." Chu Ci was very calm.

"What kind of young people, who occasionally go out of line? They gather and fight in the Hongwen Museum, how can it be regarded as a small fight? What is the Hongwen Museum? It is a place for teaching and educating people, studying poetry and books, how can we tolerate them Are you making trouble here?" Qin Yushi stood up and said with a straight face.

"Qin Yushi made a big fuss. It's just a joke among the students. At most, they are young and ignorant. How can they be accused of rioting? Most of the students of the Imperial College are from the emperor's relatives or the families of the adults. What Qin Yushi said is that their elders have no way to teach their children?" Chu Ci said.

"..." Qin Yushi was very speechless. He clearly said that he was negligent as a teacher, but he was forced to make such a move.If he retorts, I am afraid that Chu Siye will use the "San Zi Jing" to educate people again.

Chu Ci really thought so too, but Qin Yushi seemed to have learned his lesson and was not fooled at all.

"According to what you say, this is a trivial matter?" The emperor looked at Chu Ci's calm appearance with great interest. Could it be that Chu Ci is the nemesis of the Yushitai, otherwise why are the Yushis being beaten by him every time? Top speechless?

"Extremely!" Chu Ci nodded, "I don't know how the emperor knows, but this is enough to prove that the emperor loves the people like a son. Even such a trivial matter, you have personally asked about it. However, I feel that the emperor takes care of everything every day. I am already very tired, if we have to personally ask about such a small matter, it seems that we are too useless as courtiers. It is even more wrong for those who bring this matter to the court. If this matter is today, it will not be repeated in another day. Are you going to talk about the children's fight in the alley?"

Chu Ci looked worried for the emperor, which made the officials in the palace laugh out loud, even the emperor also laughed. With what Chu Ci said, Yu Shitai really seemed to be in charge of trivial matters up.

The popularity of Yushitai was so popular that Qin Yushi couldn't bear to expose the fraud, but Zuo Yushi stopped him with his eyes.

They have suffered a few times under the hands of this person. If this matter is reported by them again, I am afraid that others will think that they are deliberately retaliating. up.

Qin Yushi had no choice but to let them laugh first, although he was already very unhappy.However, there are many people who are more unhappy than him. Gu Siye used to be outside the hall, and he couldn't hear what happened inside the hall. Naturally, he didn't know what Chu Ci was doing.Seeing that Chu Ci spoke so naturally with the emperor and other ministers, he was very disturbed. He was afraid that when someone asked him, not only would he not be able to expose Chu Ci's crimes, but he would be charged with a false accusation instead!

Gu Siye was complaining endlessly in his heart, when he suddenly heard the emperor on the dragon chair speak.

"Chu Aiqing, you have always been unfazed by favors and humiliations, and you always look like the mountain is falling in front of you without changing your face. I am very curious, what is the reason why the two of you were arguing endlessly yesterday?"

Chu Ci laughed and said: "It's actually a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. I'm afraid the emperor will laugh at me when I say it. In order to maintain my usual image in front of the emperor, I should not talk about it."

Everyone laughed again, and the emperor stopped asking after he laughed.Seeing that this matter was about to be exposed, Qin Yushi couldn't stand up anymore.

Instead of asking Chu Ci, he asked Gu Siye: "Gu Siye, since Chu Siye doesn't want to talk about it, then let you talk about it. As Siye of the Imperial Academy, why did you choose the right person in the Hongwen Hall?" Accident?"

Gu Siye was angry and hated, but he didn't dare to directly contradict Qin Yushi like Chu Ci, so he just lowered his head and said, "It's just an ordinary verbal dispute."

"Would the usual verbal disputes cause the students to fight? I know that you have been wronged a lot in this matter. You just have to speak out boldly, and the emperor will definitely make the decision for you!"

"I'm an official... I'm an official..." Gu Siye's face turned red, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

At this time, someone spoke, "Gu Siye is so hesitant, I'm afraid there is something hidden about this matter. Don't be afraid of others' words, just speak out boldly."

The person who spoke was Mr. He, Minister of the Ministry of War, and He Yang's father. When he said this, he took a special look at Chu Ci, as if he meant something.

At this time, the emperor also sensed that something was wrong with Gu Siye, he frowned and said: "Gu Cheng, you are outspoken when you have something to say, why do you act like you are hesitant to speak? Could it be that when you teach your students, Is it also so hesitant?"

Gu Cheng was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud: "The emperor forgives the crime, I didn't do it on purpose, but I don't have evidence, so I'm afraid I will bear the crime of falsely accusing others."

"Evidence? What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Weichen found out about Chu Siye's cheating in the quarterly exam, and the reason for the dispute yesterday was because of this, but Weichen doesn't have conclusive evidence, so he dare not speak nonsense!"

The hall fell silent, and no one thought that the trivial matter that Chu Ci said just now was actually a matter of fraud.Only the people at Yushitai were secretly complacent, and in the end they didn't let Chuci be able to confuse the public.

The emperor looked at Chu Ci who was standing under His Highness, he still seemed to stay out of the matter, and he didn't panic at all.

"Gu Cheng, keep talking!"

"Yes, yes... Yesterday, the adults who taught the Taoism came down to hand out the quarterly exam papers. The minister accompanied the invigilator, and when he saw the exam papers, his face turned pale with fright. It was because the minister had read the exact same questions as the exam questions a few days ago! "

"Well, this quarterly exam is about the book "Mencius". If Chu Siye guessed the title correctly, it's not impossible, right?" Zhu Feng's father asked.

"If there is only this one sentence? Chu Siye said with certainty that he will definitely take this question this time. If it is just a guess, why can he be so sure? All the masters and students in the outer court can prove this. They only talked about it a few days ago. This sentence, Chu Siye also got a lot of articles for the students to learn." Now that Gu Siye said it, he simply went all out.

"Chu Ci, do you have something to say?" The emperor asked with a sullen face.

"Your Majesty, the word "fraud" is too serious, please forgive me for not daring to take this charge." Chu Ci bowed to the Emperor, his expression was serious, not the same as the previous mild appearance.

"You don't dare to take it, but dare to commit it?" Seeing that the emperor seemed a little moved, Qin Yushi couldn't help reminding.

"You said you were not cheating, then tell me, why are you so sure, which one is the topic?" the emperor asked, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

"Returning to the emperor, I have never been sure which topic is the topic. The reason why the doctors of the Guozijian only talk about this topic is that there is no other way and it is all desperate." Chu Ci said.

"What's the explanation?" Everyone had some doubts. The quarterly exams were held at the same time every year. Why didn't they review earlier instead of putting all their eggs in one basket?

"Your Majesty, you also know that Chu Ci only won the first prize in April of this year, and was later appointed by the Ministry of Officials to be an official of the sixth rank. I entered the Imperial College in May, and then took over the affairs of the Outer Court The style of study in the outer courtyard is loose, the students have no intention of studying, and many problems are piled up like a mountain. As soon as I took office, I started to work on this, and I dare not slack off for a day."

"Chu Siye, don't gossip about him. Isn't it your job to do these things? This is also worthy of your boasting in the palace?" Qin Yushi interrupted him.

"I don't know where Qin Yushi heard the bragging of the lower official? Also, the emperor didn't say anything, but Qin Yushi repeatedly interrupted the lower official's words. I don't know why?" Chu Ci looked at Qin Yu expressionlessly. History, actually made Qin Yushi feel a little scared.

"Qin Aiqing, listen to him." The emperor said.

"Yes!" Qin Yushi lowered his head and took a step back. He was a little impatient to bring down Chuci.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. All of you must have inquired about Chu's background. I am from a peasant family, and my mentor is a teacher from Yuanshan County. I don't have much experience. A few days ago, when Wang Jijiu came to talk to Xiaguan about this matter, Xiaguan was at a loss. When he learned that the imperial court attached great importance to the quarterly examinations of various academies in the capital, I was even more flustered, so I searched all night. I went to the library of the Imperial College, and found the sample papers of the quarterly exams over the years."

Hearing what he said, Gu Siye's face turned pale with fright in an instant. Anyone who heard him knew that there was a hidden meaning in his words. He deliberately concealed the matter of the Chuci Jikao, and I'm afraid he couldn't hide it anymore.
