The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1222 Shangshu
"Minister Sheng's words are very good, but although there are differences between our words, the fundamentals are not exactly the same."

Ji Cong gathered his sleeves and looked towards Sheng Yuan.

"If you say it's different, it's because the Minister's idea is too good. He didn't realize that people have limited energy and time to study every day. If the teaching is arranged according to the Minister's idea, I'm afraid the princess will not be able to bear it."

Sheng Yuan still did not refute immediately after hearing this, but asked a question: "Since we are discussing today, we can't just let Ji Langjun ask questions. In fact, I think we should confirm the premise of our discussion at this moment, otherwise, all the arguments will be meaningless."

"Minister Sheng, please speak."

"I would like to ask, Mr. Ji, what do you and the officials and people you represent think the educational methods and content are for Princess Zhaode or the future crown prince?"

"!!!" After hearing the last part, Ji Cong immediately raised his alertness to the highest level.

Some court officials who had their eyes drooped as if half asleep also opened their eyes instantly.

The real dagger is revealed!
Just now they were wondering why Sheng Wenzhen, who always turned the morning court into a gladiatorial arena, behaved so calmly and politely today.

Wow, it turns out I'm waiting for you here.

Thinking of this, everyone turned their attention to Ji Cong.

Everyone wanted to see how big a fuss these two people, who used to be at loggerheads with each other, could make.

"Princess Zhaode will be the crown prince soon. Educating the princess is the same as educating the crown prince. Could it be that Minister Sheng can't even see through this problem?" Ji Cong reacted quickly and laid out the logical equation, and took the opportunity to turn the tables.

"There has always been a gap between the education of the prince and the crown prince, and the education of the princess is even more unattainable. I have always been overly concerned, and I am afraid that you are too concerned about the differences between the crown prince and the crown princess, and ignore the fact that they are both heirs to the throne."

Seeing Sheng Yuan holding on to the prince's gender, Ji Cong realized that the other party was Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, and couldn't help but say:
"There are many rumors out there, saying that my teacher believes that community schools and official schools should increase the amount of courses on etiquette and female culinary skills for women... There are also people who spread rumors that my teacher proposed to add such content to the teaching materials for the princess. This is really ridiculous! It is clearly the delusion of ignorant people in the society!

My teacher, Mr. Jingge, made this suggestion because he felt pity for the girls who were eliminated by the imperial examination. If they were taught a way to make a living, they wouldn't have to live a hard life in the future... I just didn't want to cause a stir. It was clearly out of love and care, but it turned into jealousy of the girls. It's really infuriating and hateful!"

"Since Lord Ji can express such insight, I think he also understands teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. If he understands this, he should know that what the crown prince learns is very different from that of ordinary students.

It is naturally very difficult to master all the schools of thought and all walks of life; but if you have a broad knowledge without being specialized, then the difficulty will be much easier. "

No one expected that Sheng Yuan would answer the question that they had just ignored while talking.

"Sheng Wenzhen, you want the princess to know everything!" An imperial censor from the Censorate couldn't stand it anymore and started shouting angrily.

Sheng Yuan does not have the virtue of swallowing her anger in silence. It is not her style to ignore groundless accusations.

In line with the principle of "there is no age barrier in the officialdom", Sheng Yuan directly asked the silver-haired old censor: "There is a prerequisite for knowing everything and being unfamiliar with nothing, that is, being well-informed! If you want to be unfamiliar with everything, you must first know everything! I have one more question, censor, have you studied and mastered all the various schools of thought?"

"This, this, this...you, you, you...I, I, I...ah!" He didn't expect Sheng Yuan to find time to attack him in the midst of his busy debate, and the old censor's beard was blown up. Sheng Wenzhen, who didn't follow the rules and didn't follow the ethics of martial arts, was bullying!
After silently scolding Sheng Yuan for a long while, the old censor shook the sleeves of his official uniform and simply gave Sheng Yuan a pair of rolled eyes and a cold snort.

"Since Minister Sheng agrees that the crown prince should be well-educated, then he should not think that the education of the crown prince can be handled by one person alone. Just like what Minister Sheng said before, it is a combination of the strengths of hundreds of schools! If the knowledge is like this, why should the use of people be different?"

Ji Cong's tactic of using one's own spear to attack another's shield immediately attracted the attention of many officials.

The two of them were answering their own questions, and it seemed like they were talking irrelevantly to each other, but soon after they were able to answer the questions that they had ignored before one by one.

Speaking of which, these two people are really strange. Their thought processes are really different from those of ordinary people!
"Ji Langjun, I declare again, who are the crown prince's teachers, how many people are there... these details are all matters that the emperor and the empress need to consider, I will only listen to them." Sheng Yuan said this and she was helpless, what was the meaning of this group of people insisting on pinning the title of the crown princess's teacher on her? !
"Since you have no intention of doing so, why don't you write a memorial to make your own case?!" Ji Cong was silent, and another censor from the Censorate spoke up.

When Ji Cong heard this, he almost laughed out of anger.

If he reacted like this, let alone Sheng Yuan.

"Censor Luo, are you mistaken? I am an upright official. How can I avoid non-existent accusations just because someone falsely accuses me? If I submit a petition right now, saying that you accepted a huge bribe yesterday, do you have to prove your innocence now?!"

"Sheng Wenzhen, don't use public power to take revenge! Who accepted the bribe? You can't make a false accusation!"

Censor Luo didn't expect Sheng Yuan to speak so freely. His old face immediately turned red, and he was about to go to the Queen to complain with grief and indignation.

"Censor Luo, don't forget that I work for the Ministry of Revenue. If I really want to take revenge, it's to block your Metropolitan Procuratorate from allocating funds! There's no need to make false accusations!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Before Sheng Yuan finished the second half of his sentence, everyone in the Censorate broke out in a cold sweat.

Let me ask you! Which good person would openly and openly say in front of everyone at the morning court that he would deduct the funding of his colleagues?
He is so bragging and self-righteous that if you don't know better you might think he is seeking credit!

More importantly, Sheng Wenzhen dared to say it, and she really dared to do it!
Today, in court, in front of the Queen and many of her colleagues, she spoke the method of revenge that was in line with her profession. If she didn't make things difficult for the Censorate a few times afterwards, it would be untrue to her character!
Everyone in the Censorate was silent at this moment.

Those who were vigilant, together with their companions, kept a close eye on the talkative censors.

If we are talking about leading the charge into battle, it should be the scholars from the Hanlin Academy and the Zhanshi Palace who should take the lead. There is no need for the Censorate to get involved.

"All right!" Sheng Ran interrupted the discussion between Sheng Yuan and Ji Cong after the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate shut up. "In my opinion, the issues discussed today are too broad to be discussed in detail. Now that everyone is tired, let's end the discussion! As for everyone's thoughts, I will report back to the emperor when I go back. Of course, if you are willing to write a memorial to explain in detail how to teach the princess, that would be even better."

After Sheng Ran finished speaking, the eunuch did not give anyone time to react and directly called for the court to be adjourned.

The officials, who were tired of watching the excitement, looked at Sheng Yuan and Ji Cong who had just finished their work, and silently sighed that they were still not satisfied.

Of course, not long after, this group of officials who were still unsatisfied found that they were lamenting too early.

Their good emperor directly issued an imperial decree to promote Sheng Yuan to the position of Shangshu!
