After thinking about it, he decided to lend the emperor a donkey and replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about the massacre of Xiying."

"But it is true that Zhao Zhigao did not go to the Hanlin Academy to attend classes all day long, but instead gave lectures in Beijing."

"Yesterday, he and Geng Dingxiang, Zeng Tongheng, Zou Dehan and others were studying at the Yangming School in Beijing and held a lecture conference in the capital in a Taoist temple."

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

He looked at Zhang Juzheng and said doubtfully: "Sir, I remember that Huang Kao once issued an edict that officials in office in our court are not allowed to give lectures."

This matter was promoted by Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.

Why does it seem to exist in name only now?

When it came to business, Zhang Juzheng's expression finally became more relaxed, and he explained to the emperor: "The late emperor did issue this edict, but those who violate it are usually impeached through scientific methods, and there is no customization."

Zhu Yijun said oh and nodded.

The meaning of this statement is obvious, that is, Emperor Mu Zong only did not allow officials to give lectures, but did not say what would happen if officials did give lectures.

At the beginning, Gao Gong had control of the way of speech. When he saw that he had to be impeached by Ke Dao, he could suppress it for a while.

Today, Zhang Juzheng is not as dependent on words as Gao Gong - otherwise, students would not have impeached him one after another.

Therefore, this order is somewhat difficult to use now.

"Your Majesty, Tu Butang and editor Zhao are waiting outside the hall."

While a few people were chatting briefly, Deng Yizan, who went to summon someone from Zhongshushe, had already turned back - whether it was the Honglu Temple where Tu Xiying was, or the Hanlin Academy where Zhao Zhigao was, they were only two courtyard walls away from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

.

Zhu Yijun put away his cheerful expression while chatting with the two gentlemen and said solemnly: "Let Tu Xiying come in."

Not long after.

A crimson-robed official in his fifties walked in slowly, following behind Deng Yizan.

Tu Xiying had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and he was in the fourth rank. Now that the emperor suddenly summoned him, he naturally knew that something was wrong.

However, he still looked calm and bowed meticulously: "I, Tu Xiying, Minister of Honglu Temple, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yijun looked at the visitor carefully.

I saw that his appearance was dignified, dignified, and he had a good appearance.

Zhu Yijun did not directly question the guilt, or even bring up serious matters. Instead, he started chatting: "I remember, Tu Qing was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing?"

Tu Xiying responded calmly and replied: "I dare to show your Majesty's concern. I am indeed a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing, and my native place is Nanzhili."

He was naturally not proud to mention his place of origin for no reason.

But the emperor suddenly came to the official department and sat in the examination room, which must be for the purpose of passing the Dharma examination.

This kind of inspection of officials has always been a good time to eliminate dissidents.

He thought to himself that the emperor's prejudice against the people of Southern Zhili was probably an excuse to play out, so he was mentally prepared and accepted it calmly.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded, and then asked casually: "At that time, Tu Qing traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to take the exam, and what was his original intention?"

There is always a reason for being an official.

Whether it is to change the world, to shine on one's family, or even to become a personal master, these are today's mainstream values.

When it comes to individuals, you can even find several reasons.

It was an easy question to answer, but when Tu Xiying heard the emperor's question, she was suddenly stunned.

A long silence followed.

After a while, he responded with a respectful expression and a good tone: "Your Majesty, I was admitted to the Jinshi examination in order to put what I have learned into use, report it to the country, and minister to the people."

Tu Xi's English had not been tempered by the central government, and several lower-ranking household officials could not bear it. They buried their heads as low as possible and gritted their teeth to prevent themselves from laughing.

Still, the assistant ministers, ministers, and common people are better educated and their expressions remain unchanged.

Zhu Yijun was also used to this kind of official language, so he nodded in approval.

Just when Tu Xiying was confused, the emperor's voice reached his ears again.

"If Tu Qing had this ambition at the beginning, then why does he say now, 'You can give up being an official for a day, but you can't stop learning for a day.'"

"Is Tu Qing no longer willing to report to the country and go to herd the people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Xiying's expression changed in astonishment.

Not only Tu Xiying, Wen Chun and Shen Shixing looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Come prepared!

As Tu Xiying was a fourth-grade official, the officials could not directly judge him as unqualified. They could only give an evaluation of "unqualified". The emperor had the final say whether he was qualified or not.

But this test is only about Tu Xiying's absence from work, failure to do business, failure to sign official documents, etc.

The sentence "Office can be abandoned in a day, but learning cannot be stopped in a day", but it is not written above.

Furthermore, except for saying this kind of thing in private to gain fame, who would say it publicly?

If this is not the corner that Jin Yiwei listens to, what else could it be?

Shen Shixing Wen Chun could think of it, and naturally many people could think of it.

Wu Zhongxing looked at the emperor's back with some fear.

Zhao Yongxian looked around and raised his head to check if there were any figures on the beams.

Zhu Yijun ignored these movements.

Seeing that Tu Xiying didn't speak for a long time, he asked: "Qing Tu, if you just said that the official position can be abandoned in one day, that's all."

"But as an official of Honglu Temple, you have been on duty less than half of the time this year. You have been traveling around the temple and Taoist halls all day, giving lectures and teachings."

"Qing Tu, I'm really curious. If you don't want to be an official, why did you want to get the honor in the first place?"

He looked at Tu Xiying quietly.

This type of person is the most likely to fail the exam in this round.

He didn't do anything harmful to nature. Not only was he not corrupt, but he also had a reputation for being honest. He even often criticized this authoritarian and that Xing Jin, acting like an upright official.

But what about my job?

I'm sorry, I don't want fame, and I don't want to do my job.

If you don't do anything, you won't make mistakes.

Eating a vegetarian meal in the corpse's place is commonly known as occupying the latrine and not pooping.

In order to keep the various departments running on a daily basis, sometimes problems often arise.

Take the last Wanshou Festival as an example, the envoys who came to congratulate were not only the filial son of Korea, but also people from other vassal states.

But Tu Xiying was giving lectures in those days, and on the Wanshou Festival, banquets were arranged for each vassal state to go to the Ministry of Rites. Even North Korea had finished eating and left!

What's even more annoying is that such so-called people who "do not seek fame and fame" can often be praised by scholars and promoted quickly.

Tu Xiying's calm expression was swept away, replaced by lowered eyebrows and silence.

After a long while, Tu Xiying said slowly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to be an official, it's just that I'm not used to the environment. As soon as I go to work at Honglu Temple, I feel unwell."

"Please return to Nanzhili."

Zhu Yijun almost laughed angrily.

A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, right?

After working on it for a long time, is it because you want to get the honors and return to your hometown in fine clothes and wait for retirement to enjoy the blessings?

Historically, this guy sneaked back to Nanzhili this month - "Tu Xiying, the minister of Honglu Temple, repaired the Nanjing Yamen because of the imbalance of water and soil."

As for how it went back home?

Reviews are mixed.

Colleagues in Nanzhili praised this person very much, calling him a model scholar and the first person after Chen Jingzong.

But the students in Nanzhili were different. They scolded him for being detrimental to the teacher's ethics and acting erratically.

Bureaucrats who are praised by their colleagues but have the entire Imperial Academy students unite to reject him all know what they are about.

At the end of the development, Nanjing Huke Wang Wei couldn't stand it any longer, and read a book about Tu Xiying, saying that his behavior was irrational, a disgrace to the teacher, and that he had many resentments among his disciples.

Don’t admire the gold content of fame.

Zhu Yijun didn't even bother to answer Tu Xiying's request, so he waved his hand and sent him away.

After Tu Xiying walked out of the official office of the Gongfu Examination Department.

Zhu Yijun then turned to look at the common people Ji: "Among the ministers, are there any who do not admire fame?"

"If you tell me now, it can be fulfilled as soon as possible."

Li Deyou quickly stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, this person is pretentious, you can tell at a glance!"

"There is no country and people in my heart, nor does it mean that I don't admire fame."
