Xu Qixun is a precocious young man. Although he is only one year older than Feng Ziying, at the age of sixteen, he has already gained some consciousness for a person who has been practicing outside for several years and has been influenced by Feng Ziying and even deliberately indoctrinated him.
It would have been nice if Xu Qixun had passed the exam, which would have helped him even more. Unexpectedly, Fang Youdu was unexpected. Feng Ziying was not without regrets, but there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.
However, he believed that Xu Qixun’s next subject would not be a big problem.
The competition in the scientific examination in South Zhili is much greater than that in North Zhili. Fang Youdu was able to pass but Xu Qixun was not. To some extent, this also shows that the uncertainty factor in this kind of examination is relatively large. Unless you have absolutely
I am sure, so I took the test here in Beizhili and as Fan Jingwen said, I did get some advantages.
Feng Ziying showed her ambitions from the first day she entered the academy. As Xu Qixun, who has the closest relationship with Feng Ziying, naturally knows this best. After becoming familiar with Xu Qixun and even becoming close to each other, Feng Ziying did not shy away from saying that her future goal is
To be a general or a prime minister, well, to be precise, it is like being the chief minister of the cabinet.
In fact, many scholars have this ambition in their hearts, but Feng Ziying dared to raise it when he had not even passed the examination and was even a supervisor. People have to admire his ambition.
But what Xu Qixun admires even more is that Feng Ziying is not shy about his words. In the past two years, he has used his words and deeds to help himself and the academy achieve their goals.
Every move, every move, is highly foreseeable and purposeful, and he is particularly accurate in playing various rhythms and drums inside and outside the court. In addition, Feng Ziying shows the potential behind it, such as Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia.
The combination of these is the main reason why Xu Qixun is willing to follow Feng Ziying wholeheartedly.
Pure personal feelings are not enough to make a Nanzhili student like him who comes from an ordinary wealthy family obey him. He needs a comprehensive assessment and judgment of what following Feng Ziying may bring. After all, he also has a family or even a family behind him.
.
In comparison, although Fang Youdu seems to be more utilitarian, he is also more easily convinced by Feng Ziying's performance.
"Huchen, it doesn't matter. We are all still young. The scientific examination is actually just the first step for us. Even if we pass the Jinshi examination, we will still face decades of bumps in the official career." Feng Ziying smiled, "
I never thought that Autumn Palace and Spring Palace were the endings. Well, the real test should be after Spring Palace."
"Ziying, I'm afraid you are the only one who can boast of saying this, but I always feel that it should be Jian Yu, Jun Yu and Zixun, the senior brothers of Xiyuan, who should speak like this. You can't do anything like this in Shuntian Qiuwei."
One hundred and forty-nine, are you so sure of getting through the spring?" Xu Qixun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I think Yuxuan and Uncle Fang have passed the autumn, but they don't have much confidence in the spring. Yuxuan is still
It's better, Uncle Fang seems to be a little satisfied with the status quo, and he doesn't seem to think that he can survive the Spring Festival in one fell swoop."
Xu Qixun was also very happy to see that Feng Ziying was listening to his opinions very seriously. Feng Ziying has such advantages. Many times you will feel that he has a strong tone, a long-term vision, and is far-sighted. Often when this situation is implemented, he will become too ambitious.
Although her eyes are high and her hands are low, Feng Ziying pays more attention to the details and even does everything herself.
When these manuscripts were submitted to the court last year and this year, they were proposed by him, and the direction was determined by him and then reviewed by the chief of the mountain and the chief court. However, in terms of specific operations, he dared to let everyone go.
Xu Qixun was a little disappointed for a while, feeling that Feng Ziying was too tolerant and impetuous, and was superficial.
But unexpectedly, at the last moment, Feng Ziying concentrated all her efforts on all the manuscript suggestions that had been formed, organized a group of people to screen and approve them one by one, and finally decided to submit the final draft to the court.
Especially in the article "Epidemic Prevention Preparations" submitted in July this year, Feng Ziying personally drew up the strategy and then broke it down for each participating student, giving them step-by-step instructions on where to start and where to write.
Xu Qixun was also in a state of admiration as he summarized everything and then came to conclusions.
Sometimes Xu Qixun wonders if this guy has worked in a certain experience department in the Sixth Department or a room in a certain state capital. How can he be so familiar with such court regulations? Although there will be some mistakes, but the general direction
But never missed it.
The problem is that this guy is less than fifteen years old, and he was only twelve years old when he entered the academy. Even if he followed his father in Datong and participated in military and government affairs since he was a child, his age is too exaggerated. Is this guy really
He assisted his father in military and political affairs at the age of six or seven? Then he was really a child prodigy.
This question is actually shared by everyone from Qiao Yingjia to Qi Yongtai, from Guan Yingzhen to Zhou Yongchun, and even many students in the academy, including Zhang Jin, Chen Jingxuan, Li Sancai and some people at a higher level. In addition to explaining this
It is really difficult to explain other than the fact that my son was born as a child prodigy and was influenced by his father's experience in Datong by chance.
With the adjustment of the college dormitories, students entering the West Garden have begun a more intense period of preparation.
The Spring Examination of the Great Zhou Dynasty still followed the Ming system, and the Chinese-style quota for the examination was basically determined based on the number of upper-level subjects, the number of candidates participating in the examination, and the number of officials currently lacking in the court.
Because the previous subject was the "Long Fei First Subject", the number was relatively large, but it was not obvious. This subject is logically said to be the second subject after Emperor Yonglong ascended the throne, and the number of Chinese-style subjects may decrease.
However, some reports came from the court that the emperor intended to expand the enrollment quota in Jinke to prepare for the shortage of materials in remote areas and the needs of the state capital. Therefore, Jinke may even have more enrollment quotas than the former division. This also makes people involved in this program
The students of Ke Chunwei were very excited.
In fact, Feng Ziying also received the news. Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and others wrote to the cabinet and Emperor Yonglong. They believed that there were many elderly and infirm people in the six ministries of the imperial court and local prefectures, and that the epidemic was full. They hoped that through the March 4th Movement in the next ten years,
In the spring of the department, some new Jinshi were added to replace those who were mixed with salaries in various departments and localities.
This opinion was blocked in the cabinet for a time. The first minister, Shen, was always reluctant to make this example. However, the second minister and the other two cabinet ministers agreed, and they also received strong support from the emperor, so it was confirmed.
"Ziying, your classic meaning is almost the same now. It is difficult to make a big improvement in the short term. The only thing that needs to be grasped is that you still need to be more precise in the choice of words. However, the time for the test is enough for you, and you can refine it. Think carefully and don’t rush to write..."
When the university once again covered the entire roof of Qingtan Academy, it was the twelfth lunar month of the year again.
Zhou Chaozong is very satisfied with this disciple who is not a disciple, although he does not admit that the other party is his disciple, because he is only helping him make up for his shortcomings in the classics and meanings. In terms of current policy theory, this guy can even be his teacher, some Even Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun were amazed by the exquisite viewpoint.
But Feng Ziying behaved very well and still followed her as a teacher. Even after passing the exam, she was neither arrogant nor impetuous. She quickly got into the state after returning to the academy.
"Disciple, please remember this."
"Well, another thing is that you should write more slowly. Your writing skills are good. If you write slowly, it will better highlight the care of your handwriting. Although there is a transcription system, once it is in Chinese, the important ministers prefer to read this volume in person. If this advantage is used well, sometimes it can reach a higher level..."
This is a sincere statement. It has a copying system and the handwriting can be ignored. But once it is Chinese, your classics and meanings may be like the eyes of cabinet ministers or even the emperor. This first impression is also very important. Experience often speaks of It was learned through countless painful lessons.
"Disciple understands, thank you Master Zhou." Feng Ziying thanked her heartily.
"Well, I don't have any more teaching opportunities for you. In my opinion, Jinke may be your best opportunity. The imperial court intends to increase the number of places, and the emperor also wants to make new plans. Your policy article may as well You can be bolder and sharper, even if it offends some people, it doesn't matter, the key is to be Chinese." Zhou Chaozong put his hands behind his back and pondered for a moment, "I am afraid that neither the mountain chief nor the chief will tell you these words. After all, This is also related to your affairs after Chinese style..."
Feng Ziying's eyebrows twitched slightly. This suggestion was quite bold. It meant that she would try to attract attention by sensationalizing herself, but she had to say that this was probably the most suitable thing for her.
Those who can enter the Spring Palace Competition have naturally broken through through bloody battles. Compared with these people, such as Lian Guoshi, Han Jing, and Xu Xie, there is a huge gap in the classics and meanings. Even people like Fan Jingwen can crush themselves repeatedly. Their only advantage lies in current policy theory.
However, those who can be shortlisted will definitely not be too far apart in terms of current policies. So if you want to find a way, or even directly rise to the top, you must have something eye-catching.
According to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the chief examiner will be a cabinet minister other than the chief minister, and the deputy examiner will be a minister from the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Personnel. This is the key. The examination is basically done by the ministers, readers, writers, and editors of the Hanlin Academy. Chunfang and the heads of various departments and the assistants of each department serve as supervisors.
As a general rule, the same examiner determines whether it is Chinese style, and the chief examiner determines the level. In other words, whether you can be shortlisted in the exam is generally favored by the same examiner, and then you can be shortlisted. But it is basically the chief examiner who determines your ranking, but this is not the decision.
The chief examiner and deputy examiner will look at some of the papers of those who are judged to be excellent or failed to prevent any omissions.
If you stand out too much, you may be dismissed directly. If you restrain yourself a little, your disadvantages in classic meaning and writing skills may become more obvious, making it difficult for you to attract attention. According to Jinke's reference, there are as many as 4,800 people.
The Chinese-style admissions may be about 380 people. In such a large elite group, do you want to win the eye and be directly deposed, or will you be hidden?
Therefore, the advice given by Zhou Chaozong may be a double-edged sword.
