Chapter 703: The humble dare not forget the country (seventh more)
Wang Shouren stumbled for a moment. He thought Ye Chunqiu's words were very reasonable, just like if you want to persuade others, you must first stand on the other person's side. But the problem is that it is easy to say but difficult to do.
Ye Chunqiu looked at Wang Shouren's deep frown, but said nothing more. How could he not know the difficulty? But no matter what, he had to do everything to make it happen.
Obviously, the identity issue of Zhenguo New Army was of great benefit to Ye Chunqiu. He was the mentor of these people. If Ye Chunqiu had nearly a hundred disciples at this time, all of them were students, what would this mean?
What if one day the new army of Zhenguo expands some people?
At that time, Ye Chunqiu, the young mentor, got more than an army, but also a force composed of the backbone of the future society.
Think about it, even if these disciples are discharged from the army in the future, Ma Fangnanshan will become the pillars of this world if they have achieved fame and fortune. They will naturally become pillars of society. How many disciples will Ye Chunqiu, the mentor, have Ye Chunqiu, have they in the future?
The fundamental reason why Confucius' Confucianism was able to flourish was that he had 72 disciples. After these 72 disciples achieved success in their studies, they each had some skills and scattered all over the place to promote Confucius's doctrine. In the end, their disciples and disciples became more and more like they had grown up, and Confucius became a god-lord who had stood for thousands of years.
Of course, Ye Chunqiu didn't want to be a saint, but he was a human being for two lifetimes and had the power of light and brain. Now he has become famous and successful. Naturally, he hopes to change the world. If he is poor, he will be able to help the world. This is human nature. At that time, Ye Chunqiu was just a concubine and had no fame, so he needed to pass the exam time and time again to change his destiny. Now that he has an official position, he naturally hopes that he can take care of more people.
Scholars are the basic rulers of this dynasty. Although a scholar is not a big shot, the energy condensed by one hundred or a thousand scholars is enough to affect the direction of the entire court.
This matter must be done, and taking advantage of this overwhelming victory against the Tatars, Ye Chunqiu must take this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, otherwise it will not be possible to make it happen once the limelight is over.
Ye Chunqiu bid farewell to Wang Shouren. Because the injury was just right, the Hanlin Academy also understood him and just asked him to temporarily organize the record in the National History Museum. This is a very leisurely job, just sorting out the files. He and Dai Dabin are now considered to be brothers and brothers in distress, but Ye Chunqiu is only a temporary position, because he is still in the waiting room now, so in a sense, the work he is doing is just a part-time job.
That's good, at least I can have some leisure time. Ye Chunqiu is very satisfied with the current situation. However, as soon as he arrived at the National History Museum, someone came to the Hanlin Academy and said to him: "Mr. Liu asked Ye Xiu to go to the cabinet."
Ye Chunqiu did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried to the palace to visit the cabinet. When he arrived at Liu Jian's public housing, he saw several cabinet scholars present, and even Zhang Cai, the Minister of Personnel, came.
The Minister of Personnel is the leader of the six ministries, known as the Heavenly Official. His status is completely different from other Ministers and can be vaguely comparable to the Grand Secretary, so basically, he is indispensable in major decisions in the court.
When he saw Ye Chunqiu coming, Liu Jian was very steady as usual, while Xie Qian still had a stern face and looked like a strange temper that he would not be close to anyone. Only Li Dongyang smiled at Ye Chunqiu.
Although Jiao Fang also laughed, his smile always made people feel angry; Zhang Cai was lazily beating haha, as if he was expressing dissatisfaction with Ye Chunqiu, believing that Ye Chunqiu wasted his time.
Ye Chunqiu saluted, and Liu Jian smiled and said, "Chunqiu, come, sit down." Then he said to his left and right: "This is a great hero of the court, thanks to Chunqiu."
Ye Chunqiu sat down with her body and said modestly: "The emperor is ashamed."
Liu Jian pursed his lips undeniably and said, "I'm recruiting you for the sake of rewards. You also know that Your Majesty intends to entrust all students as living personnel. The current controversy is huge. Not only is it pure discussions, but even the ministers in the court are quarreling. As for me, I am the chief scholar. I should have made a decision, but the opposition is fierce, so I want to ask you, what do you think?"
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel a little stumbled, and then he realized that things were not very good.
Liu Jian did not express his opinion, but asked himself for his opinion. This was not really what he wanted to hear his opinions. It was clearly that he hoped that he could retreat from the difficulties and simply refused the kindness in the palace. In this way, the dispute was calmed down and there was no remark in the palace.
Ye Chunqiu thought to himself: "Maybe Liu Gong also thinks that the identity of scholars of the new army of Zhenguo is inappropriate; or the controversy in the court is indeed great, so it is difficult to make a rash decision."
No matter which result it is, it is not what Ye Chunqiu wants to see.
Ye Chunqiu knew that if he answered in a careless manner, he might fall into a trap. Once he was trapped, he should write a letter to express his gratitude and that he and the new army officers and soldiers of Zhenguo dare not accept it.
After pondering for a while, Ye Chunqiu said cautiously: "It is inevitable that there is controversy, but the officers and soldiers of the new army in Zhenguo defeated the Tatars this time, and seven people were killed in battle. Many of them were injured. They were all those who had studied and passed the child examination. They should have worked hard to continue to get fame and fortune. They just wanted to protect their family and country, so they joined the army. Your Majesty intends to give them fame and fortune. The lower officials are very pleased. Your Majesty is so wise that he can be so kind to all students. The kindness of the lower officials and all students are so tragic, and it is difficult to repay."
After saying something, the present was speechless for a moment.
Ye Chunqiu's words really blocked all the words. Look, they are scholars, they should have taken the exam for scholars, can you say that they will not be able to pass the exam? But, if they don't take the exam, why not? That's because they want to serve the court, sacrifice their lives for the country, and shed their blood. What kind of spirit is this? This is the true spirit of scholars. They dare not forget their worries about the country, which is worthy of praise. Moreover, this time they fought against the Tatars, and suffered a lot of casualties. These people were willing to give up their fame and death to the country. It is precisely because of this that His Majesty wants to give them fame and fortune, which is of course a commendable thing.
