"What did they see in the Secret Pavilion?"

"Your Majesty, Dr. Dong has read the "Jingfa", "Shang Junshu", "Shenzi", "Jizi", "Falun", "Sixteen Classics", "Zaiyou", "Pirates" in the secret pavilion. Law, Law of Thieves, Law of Prisoners, Law of Capture, there are more than ten titles that the villain does not know!"

"Have you seen so much?"

In Weiyang Palace, the eunuch's reward made the new emperor slightly stunned.

"Dong Qing went to the doctor in a hurry!"

No royal family would completely trust a certain school, and no emperor would completely trust a certain person, and Dong Zhongshu, who was named by Emperor Jing, was no exception.

But when Dong Zhongshu's situation was reported, the new emperor felt that Dong Zhongshu was a little anxious and panicked.

The classics in the Secret Pavilion of Book Collection are ancient, and the more you read, the less you will gain.

Even if he took control of the Secret Pavilion himself, he was only looking for some content for reference, instead of rummaging around like this.

"Understood, let's go!"

The new emperor waved his hand and let out another long breath.

"Your Majesty, Shen Gong is asking to see you!"

The eunuch who visited Dong Zhongshu went down, and another eunuch entered the palace and mentioned another righteous master.

"Xuan...wait a minute, I'll meet you in person!"

The new emperor just wanted to let the eunuch Xuan Shenpei enter the palace, but then quickly changed his mind, straightened the emperor's robes and stood up.

As soon as he walked out of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, he saw Shen Peigong striding forward.

This kind of time is much faster than coming after the notification and confirmation. If the new emperor's guess is correct, when the eunuchs voiced the message, Shen Peigong had already stepped forward.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

There was still three meters away, and Shen Peigong bowed slightly to salute.

Shen Peigong's etiquette is an ancient etiquette, which belongs to the etiquette used by the suzerains of the various schools before the unification of the Qin Dynasty to meet the king.

In that era, many of the leaders of these sects were personally greeted by kings, and they were also guests at the thrones of major kings. Their status was rarely different from that of kings, let alone waiting and reporting, or speaking inferiorly to others.

The new emperor took a look, and he didn't go into these things too deeply, but also bowed in return.

Shen Peigong is over eighty years old, but his body is old and full of vitality. The new emperor can even feel the fiery mana in the opponent's body.

He came out of Weiyang Palace to greet him with a bow, this kind of etiquette obviously satisfied Shen Peigong very much.

The two entered the main hall of Weiyang Palace side by side.

"Where is Your Majesty studying?"

The new emperor likes to stay in Weiyang Palace, but he doesn't sit here all the time waiting for a certain minister, but moves him here to study, rest and so on.

On the case, there is the new emperor's Tianzi sword, and there are also scrolls of bamboo slips.

Shen Peigong took a look, and the words on the bamboo slips immediately came into his eyes.

"Your Majesty, these Fu are just for fun. Many literati write Fu with rich words but lack of substance, which is not suitable for Your Majesty to indulge in it!"

Except for some bamboo slips that were reviewed, these bamboo slips of Xindi are mostly Fu written by someone.

Lacking sufficient depth and breadth, the Fu written by these literati is undoubtedly the composition of primary school monks in front of ancient inherited content such as the "Book of Songs".

It’s okay to use these Fu for fun, but if you want to learn the real truth and understand the principles of governing the country, these Fu are completely useless, and it will even waste time.

Shen Peigong frowned slightly.

His student Wang Zang was Prince Shaofu, the teacher of the new emperor.

As a result, the new emperor is now obsessed with this kind of small composition, which is obviously unqualified when Wang Zang and others taught.

As Wang Zang's teacher, Shen Peigong was even regarded as the new emperor's ancestor to a certain extent, and he also had a certain educational responsibility for the new emperor, which made him persuade him again and again.

The new emperor looked respectful and nodded, but there was a slight glint in his eyes.

If Zhang Xuezhou were here, he would definitely be able to find a similar comparison. Students who like to read extracurricular books are very common in many schools. Some students have their extracurricular books confiscated by teachers, and even call their parents. Grades kept dropping.

A strict teacher is good to the students, but whether the students understand at the time is another matter.

At least it was difficult for the students whose extracurricular books were confiscated to have the mentality of "thank you teacher".

It is difficult for most students to let go of the bad breath in their hearts, not to mention that the new emperor was criticized by Shen Peigong.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and as a high-ranking emperor, the new emperor did not like to be restrained.

He invited Shen Peigong and others to enter the imperial court to get rid of the shackles on his body, and to find a group of obedient courtiers, so there is no need to add another shackle.

In the end, Xindi couldn't hold back the temper in his heart, and asked with a smile on his face to change the topic.

"I don't know why Shen Gong came here in such a hurry?" the new emperor asked.

His question stopped Shen Peigong from teaching.

Teaching students is important, but Confucianism is obviously more important.

This made Shen Peigong quickly mention his intention.

Dong Zhongshu's matter was settled, and he could ask for a position in the court with peace of mind.

Invited by the new emperor with high-standard etiquette, Shen Peigong also wanted to see what kind of position the new emperor could give him, which could really touch the status of Confucianism in the new emperor's heart.

Shen Peigong asked a few tentative questions, which made the new emperor think for a few seconds.

The fire can only burn more and more vigorously if it burns slowly. How can he give Shen Peigong any high-ranking officials at the beginning.

None of the people involved in the Sangong Jiuqing is simple, and the official positions of these people need to be carefully considered.

As far as the emperor is concerned, as long as the courtiers do not make mistakes, the courtiers will stay in that position until the courtiers are old and unable to hold the position.

It is really not easy for the new emperor to vacate a position for Shen Peigong.

The current situation belongs to the imperial court. Before the pit was dug, Shen Peigong wanted to plant trees.

Shen Peigong became a little impatient, but the new emperor's behavior was also a little edgy, and he invited Shen Peigong over too early.

"Dong Zhongshu bid farewell to me today, the imperial court has vacated the position of doctor of imperial studies!"

The new emperor spoke slowly, and when he saw Shen Peigong's solemn and dissatisfied mood, he knew very well that Dong Zhongshu's position could not satisfy Shen Peigong at all.

"But Mr. Shen Pei, you are the master of Confucianism, how can you take the position of Great Confucianism?" The new emperor said again.

"Then me?" Shen Peigong said with a better face.

"What position does Duke Shen think is better?" Xindi asked.

"That's naturally..."

Shen Peigong almost blurted out that the higher the better.

If the new emperor is willing, he certainly thinks that the position of prime minister is suitable for him.

But it is impossible for a country to have two prime ministers. If you want him to be in power, then the prime minister, Wei Wan, must be in place.

Shen Peigong felt that he was a little impatient. After he finished his affairs, he would at least visit some court officials.

As long as there is communication in advance, so that some people are willing to 'give up' their positions, his official position will be easy to say.

But for whom Shen Peigong needs to carefully consider.

The Confucian sect can also use fighting methods to solve problems, and when it comes to non-Confucian sects, there is a need for visits.

He thought about it for a while, and it was difficult to decide which soft nail to pick.

"Naturally, the more you can use your aging abilities, the better!"

The words in Shen Peigong's mouth also turned in a different direction, and he didn't think that the new emperor would directly give a position of the three princes and nine ministers.

This kind of position can't be given randomly by the new emperor, and they need to stabilize their basic market before they can fight for it.

"There are many positions in the imperial court that are suitable for displaying Duke Shen's ability." The new emperor said casually, "But if someone goes up, someone needs to go down. If Duke Shen can provide some assistance, these high positions can be freed up!"

"As long as your majesty points out, I am willing to cooperate," Shen Peigong said excitedly: "Confucianism has a lot of talents, and they will not be inferior to any of the current important officials in the court!"

"Then I would like to welcome Confucian talents into the court." The new emperor said with a smile: "As long as Confucianism has suitable candidates, I can arrange even the positions of prime minister and doctor censor!"

The new emperor named two positions, both of which are powerful positions in the imperial court and top-level positions.

The former holds the head of the world's civil officials, while the latter has the right to supervise the world's officials.

These two positions were so heavy that Shen Peigong couldn't say anything, and even made Shen Peigong's breathing a little short.

Obviously, Xindi revealed his dissatisfaction with the senior officials of these two positions.

This involves Prime Minister Wei Wan and Doctor Yu Shi Zhibuyi.

If Confucianism wants to rise to power, it must first pull these two people down.
