"Brother Liu is already an official in the Ministry of Personnel at such a young age. He was already a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. Compared with Brother Liu, we are really ashamed!"
Zhu Yunming also complimented him.
There are compliments here, but of course more admiration from the bottom of my heart.
Zhu Yunming is also one of the four great talents in Wuzhong. His nickname is Zhishan, which is also the famous Zhu Zhishan. He is a famous calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty.
His career journey was extremely bumpy. After he was selected as a scholar at the age of nineteen, he failed to pass the provincial examination five times. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, he took the provincial examination for the sixth time and won the imperial examination.
After that, he failed to pass the imperial examination seven times, and even his own son was admitted to the imperial examination, but he was not yet admitted, so he was no longer able to become an official in the imperial examination.
Compared with Liu Jin in front of him, his road to the imperial examination was really difficult.
Up to now, he is still a civil servant.
"I also participated in the examination in the twelfth year of Hongzhi's reign, but unfortunately I was not able to meet Brother Liu."
Zhu Yunming said with a hint of regret.
He didn't get the Jinshi that time, so he went out to enjoy the sights with a group of students who also failed the exam. Therefore, he didn't see the scene of Liu Jinzhong's number one scholar parading through the streets, otherwise he would have been able to recognize Liu Jin.
"That is indeed a great pity. I have long heard that Brother Zhu's calligraphy is the best in Jiangnan, and I have long wanted to ask Brother Zhu for a set of calligraphy."
Liu Jin replied with a smile, among scholars, it is inevitable to compliment each other.
"How old is Brother Liu now?"
Wen Zhengming thought for a while and asked.
"Already over thirty~"
"Brother Liu is really knowledgeable and talented. He was in high school for the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and he was around 20 at that time."
"I must have finished high school in one go!"
Wen Zhengming said after all.
"I did win the exam in the first try, and the next year I also won the gold medal in the exam. This is all luck, luck!"
Liu Jin said modestly.
"It's such a blessing to meet Brother Liu today!"
"I have participated in the provincial examination five times in a row, but I have failed every time. I am really ashamed, so ashamed!"
Wen Zhengming sighed, this person is so competitive with others, it's really irritating.
The other party won the imperial examination at the first try, attended the meeting, and won the imperial examination at the first try. He was already an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs at a young age, and his future was limitless.
But as for me, I have taken the provincial examination five times, and it is so difficult to even pass it.
"Brother Wen, don't be discouraged. It's just that your luck has not come yet. With Brother Wen's talent, it will be a matter of time before he is named on the gold list."
Liu Jin quickly comforted him.
In fact, for Wen Zhengming in history, the imperial examination was even more difficult than that of Zhu Yunming.
He took the provincial examination nine times and failed in all of them. The provincial examination is held every three years, and nine times equals twenty-seven years. He started taking the provincial examination at the age of 18 and kept taking it. He could not pass the examination until he was forty-five years old. Really
It is in line with that sentence, thirty old people know the scriptures, and fifty young people are Jinshi.
Later, he was recommended by the Minister and passed the assessment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs before he was awarded a minor official position in the Hanlin Academy waiting for an imperial edict. Later, he became the emperor's minister. However, he was always despised by the serious Hanlin officials.
In addition, he was arrogant and arrogant, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to retire after serving as an official for only a few years.
If you learn more about the life experiences of Zheng Ming, Zhu Yunming, and Tang Bohu below, you can actually find one thing in common. They are all very arrogant and arrogant when they think they have some talent.
In layman's terms, that means you have a high IQ but a low emotional quotient.
Like Tang Bohu in history, he was really talented, but he was too arrogant and arrogant, so he was naturally unfit to be an official and could easily offend others.
The same was true for the Wen Zhengming in front of him. He claimed to be talented and later became an official on the recommendation of others, but he had no emotional intelligence and offended Zhang Cong and Yang Yiqing at the time.
Both of them admired Wen Zhengming's talent. Yang Yiqing even took the initiative to tell him that he and Wen Zhengming's father were good friends. However, Wen Zhengming, in front of everyone, said that his father had been dead for thirty years and there had never been anyone.
I mentioned Yang Yiqing, which made Yang Yiqing blush with anger, and then put him in the shoes. He was arrogant, so he resigned and went home.
After all, it is actually reasonable for Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, and Zhu Yunming to mix together. They all feel that they are awesome, look down on this, look down on that, have low emotional intelligence, and offend people everywhere.
If Tang Bohu hadn't been helped by Liu Jin at that time, he would probably be a peach blossom fairy now.
"Borrow Brother Liu's good words~"
Wen Zhengming was naturally very happy after hearing Liu Jin's words.
"Brother Zhu, you are here to take part in the examination this time, right?"
Liu Jin then asked about Zhu Yunming's situation. He had passed the examination, but he also failed in the examination.
"This is indeed the plan~"
"Brother Wen and the others are also coming here to play with us. In addition, Mr. Leonardo da Vinci is also coming to the capital for a study tour, so we are coming together."
Zhu Yunming nodded.
"Then, if Brother Zhu Zhu is nominated for the gold list this time, he will definitely treat you to a guest."
Zhu Yunming also quickly bowed his hand to Liu Jin in return.
There are all scholars who don’t like to hear this. High school, passing the examination, and being named on the gold list are all their favorite words. As for words such as “failed”, “failed”, “failed”, “failed”, etc., those are what they hate the most.
Already.
"Mr. Leonardo da Vinci is from Florence?"
"The Ming Dynasty is very far away now. Looking at your age, sir, you are already very old."
Immediately, Liu Jin also looked at Da Vinci and asked about his situation.
"It is indeed very far away, thousands of miles away. It took me several months by boat to reach Daming."
"This time I came to Daming, mainly to study."
"I have long heard that the Ming Dynasty had outstanding people, rich resources, and talented people. I want to come here to learn the literature, medicine, mathematics, painting, philosophy, etc. of the Ming Dynasty."
Da Vinci has been listening silently, spending some time with Wen Zhengming, Zhu Yunming and others, and he has somewhat understood the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, when he first heard about this system, he was shocked by it.
It turns out that in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to become an official, you have to go through layers of examinations and selections. It is extremely difficult to become an official.
In the West, there has been no examination since ancient times. All officials are a matter of nobles and passed down from generation to generation. In addition, they need to be recommended by someone. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to become officials.
of.
In Da Vinci's view, this was another extremely advanced system.
"With your talent and your sixties, you have traveled thousands of miles to study in our country, the Ming Dynasty. It is really admirable!"
After Liu Jin heard this, he was immediately in awe. It was really admirable that this man in his sixties, who was about to be buried, traveled thousands of miles to study in Ming Dynasty.
Just this kind of study and eagerness to learn has surpassed countless people.
"Haha, don't you have an old saying in the Ming Dynasty that you can live until you are old, learn until you are old, and you can die by the time you hear the truth in the morning?"
"As long as you can still walk, you will naturally continue to learn."
Da Vinci replied with a smile.
"I wonder what you think of our Ming Dynasty?"
Liu Jin nodded slightly, then thought about it and asked.
"Of course Daming is very good~"
"I have traveled to many countries, and Ming Dynasty is the most vast, populous, and full of humanistic spirit I have ever seen. I have seen so many places in Ming Dynasty that are different from ours in Europe."
"This place is full of humanistic atmosphere and full of scientific spirit. It is the most ideal country in my heart. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, European countries are still in the darkness under the instructions of the medieval church, ignorant and ignorant!"
Da Vinci thought for a while and said.
This is not a compliment, but a true feeling from the heart. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the gap in Europe is really too big, too big. There is a huge gap in all aspects, especially in the areas that Leonardo da Vinci valued most.
In terms of humanistic spirit, there is a huge difference.
"Since Mr. Leonardo da Vinci likes our Ming Dynasty and finally came here, why not just stay in our Ming Dynasty?"
"I can recommend you, sir, to teach in our Ming Dynasty's academy. You can teach and teach your Western painting, mathematics, physics, astronomy, thought and philosophy, etc., while learning about these aspects of our Ming Dynasty."
Liu Jin nodded slightly, thought about it and suggested.
Leonardo da Vinci is obviously an all-rounder, very powerful in all aspects. If he can be kept, he can spread some Western thoughts, philosophies, etc. to the people of the Ming Dynasty, promote the development of new ideas and new philosophies in the Ming Dynasty, and break the traditional Confucianism
The restraint and control of thoughts may to some extent promote the continuous development of Ming Dynasty.
Capitalism and new learning in the Ming Dynasty developed rapidly, and new ideas and philosophies were brewing and born, but no famous and outstanding representatives have yet emerged.
"This is a very good suggestion."
When Leonardo da Vinci heard this, he was immediately moved. While teaching and learning, he could also spread Western philosophical ideas to the people of the Ming Dynasty. This feeling was very good.

"Since your husband thinks it is good, I will make arrangements later. There are many new colleges in Ming Dynasty, covering all aspects. I will recommend them to your husband. He can go to classes wherever he likes."
When Liu Jin saw that he agreed, he immediately laughed happily.
Bringing in the catfish of Leonardo Da Vinci might be able to cause a catfish effect, drive, drive the progress and development of all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. Western things also have a lot of merit. The sea is open to all rivers, tolerance is great, and only the Ming Dynasty can change.
Become stronger.
Of course, with Da Vinci staying in the capital, it will definitely be easier to ask him for some paintings in the future.
