There are several most common situations in which scholars nowadays join the Unity Party.
In addition to the formal teachers and students in the academy, the successful candidates in the same exam would call each other "classmates", call the chief examiner of this session "master", and call themselves "disciples". They would naturally become allies. These are all typical hidden dangers of faction.
Because those who passed the provincial examinations would become officials, and if they developed in the future, they would have power in the court. Therefore, the chief examiners of the provincial and metropolitan examinations were always popular, and the final result was the result of the game between various forces.
There was a dispute between the Niu and Li factions in the previous dynasty, and the root cause was here.
However, because such things are difficult to avoid and have both advantages and disadvantages, they are not easy to deal with all at once.
Including in this matter, if Emperor Ming Yan wanted to punish, it was the favoritism and fraud involved. However, he could only turn a blind eye to the behavior of recruiting students.
Yan Shiyue was very confused when she heard this: "But aren't all students the emperor's disciples?"
The prince was stunned: "The emperor's disciple?"
Yan Shiyue had always thought that the concept of the emperor's disciples had existed since the imperial examination system was established, but he didn't expect that there was no such thing at this time.
"That's right!" So she immediately said, "Didn't Father take the palace examination himself? Didn't many of the court officials who came from the imperial examinations become successful after passing the palace examinations? From the county examinations to the palace examinations, no matter which level, they are all for the imperial court to recruit talents, so all those who passed must be the emperor's disciples. The chief examiner has never taught or supervised anyone, he just went there to supervise the examinations and check the papers on the emperor's orders, and he picked up a bunch of disciples for nothing. How can this be justified? Isn't this competing with the emperor for his disciples?"
...
...
The prince listened to her babble and his expression gradually changed. He smiled at Emperor Ming Yan and said, "Yuer is right, father, these people should have been the emperor's disciples."
Emperor Ming Yan also thought that this statement was truly brilliant and could be regarded as a breakthrough.
He called out, "Xuan Yan Shirui to come in."
Yan Shiyue patted his clothes and said, "Father, I'll go back and tell my second brother."
Emperor Mingyan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe." He called out, "Gu Jiuxing, send Yue'er back."
"No!" Yan Shiyue said, "Butler Gu wants to stay and take care of you. I don't need to go through so much trouble. Just send someone to take me there."
The prince stood up and said with a smile: "Father, I just happened to be out of the palace. Please send Yue'er back."
Emperor Mingyan said, "That's fine. If there is anything, just ask Ding Xiaoyan to report to me."
The prince came out with Yan Shiyue. Seeing how small she was, wrapped in her cloak, even half of her eyes were covered, he thought she was cute and rubbed her gently, saying with a smile, "If Yue'er were a man, she would be a pillar of the country."
"No," Yan Shiyue immediately shook her head: "I don't want to be a pillar of the country, I can only be a rich man at home. If anyone wants me to get up before dawn every day, I will definitely break up with him."
The prince stroked his forehead.
He had mixed feelings about this sister who always switched between being extremely reliable and extremely unreliable: "Let's go."
He personally sent the person back to the Commander's Mansion.
Yan Chengyuan came over and said a few words to him. After sending the prince away, he sat down and said, "What does the emperor say?"
Yan Shiyue inexplicably liked the way he asked questions in a declarative tone, so she told him.
Gu Jiuxing also told her about the Queen's attitude before, and she also told him in passing.
Yan Chengyuan just nodded, not caring. He told someone to invite Yan Shirui over, and then he stood up to leave.
Yan Shiyue pulled his sleeve: "Daddy."
"Um?"
"Dad, am I too impulsive?" She pulled his sleeve, walked around to the opposite side of him, and looked up at him: "Dad, many of the things I do offend people. I don't know if there will be a day in the future when you will be implicated by me."
Yan Chengyuan glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a family be implicated or not?"
He pulled her sleeves and wanted to leave, but she wouldn't let go: "Daddy! Daddy, please comfort your little girl!"
Yan Chengyuan stopped and put his hand on her head, his voice steady and deep: "In this world, if you want to do something, you can't do it without offending people. If you think it's right, just do it, don't think too much. I'm your real father! Even if you get into trouble, I will naturally cover it for you. Why are you afraid of offending others? With your temper, who can be offended by you? "
When he said comfort, he really meant it. For someone like Yan Chengyuan who couldn't show his emotions, this kind of tenderness was too rare.
She couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe..."
Yan Chengyuan's mouth curled slightly: "Okay, finish talking to Rui'er and go to rest."
He left with a wave of his sleeves. Yan Shiyue was about to look for Yan Shirui when he saw Yan Shirui coming in from the door. He smiled and said, "I think our father has been lacking a daughter for so many years. If he had a naughty and coquettish daughter earlier, he wouldn't be like an ice pile now."
He pretended to sigh and said, "What did the emperor ask me to do? Write a memorial?"
Yan Shiyue nodded, and the two of them walked towards the study. Yan Shirui said again: "Actually, I've always wanted to talk to you about this. You have a lot of problems with your thinking."
Yan Shiyue asked: "What's the problem?"
Yan Shirui said: "That day, I accidentally heard you talking to Mr. Xu."
He glanced at her calmly, and seeing that she looked normal, he continued, "You have to understand that Mr. Xu is A Rong's master. He must be someone on our ship. He can borrow the power of our Yan family. What a great help this is! How many people would love to have this? What he gets from this is far more than what he gives!"
"I understand!" Yan Shiyue said, "Otherwise, Yan Liangchou would be reluctant to let go of the title of the Yan family's adopted son?"
"Yes!" Yan Shirui said, "So, when doing anything, there is no way to avoid taking risks. You only think that the people around you are enjoying all the honors under your wings, but you are unwilling to let them take any risks. Have you ever thought that they will also be uncomfortable? This kind of thing is based on mutual benefit. Everyone will naturally have their own considerations and choices. You really don't have to feel that you owe them."
He glanced at her and said, "You have to understand that from now on, the more favor you receive from the emperor, the more people of all kinds will gather around you. If you still have this temper, there will be endless troubles."
"No," Yan Shiyue said, "I will watch. If others plot against me, I won't let them plot against me, but if others help me regardless of the danger, I will be truly grateful."
Yan Shirui was a little helpless: "Actually, how should I put it? It's not strange for a person to have calculations..."
Halfway through his speech, he looked at her and said, "Forget it, you don't need to know this. It's enough for you to just use those who truly care about you."
"Yes! The blessed don't have to worry, there are people around me who will worry about me." Yan Shiyue smiled and blinked: "Daddy is cold, Ye Ye is busy, and Yan Erlang is worried..."
This little bastard is quite smooth!
Yan Shirui was both angry and amused. He pointed at her for a long time before saying with a smile, "You are the only one who talks too much! Come in quickly!"
Yan Shiyue was not very knowledgeable about court affairs, so she just told Yan Shirui everything she could think of and asked him to integrate it himself. The two discussed for a long time, and she didn't care about the rest of the matter and went back to sleep.
As usual, I slept until noon and had lunch, but someone reported that the third prince was visiting.
