When Zhang Yue Guolin reached the top of the mountain, he felt that the so-called Immortal Cave was just a small cave.
Zhang Yue and Guo Lin said: "This Immortal Cave is nothing more than that, but fortunately, the scenery on the top of the mountain is very beautiful."
“Actually, studying in our generation is like climbing a mountain. Every time we climb a mountain, the scenery is different, and our horizons are also different.
Guo Lindao: "Junior brother's words have a profound meaning. The Immortal Cave is just like the fame we have taken, but why study and climb mountains just to see the Immortal Cave? It's just a different scenery from the one at the bottom of the mountain."
“That’s it. Brother, we are all boarding up.”
“It’s too early to tell.”
“Then you might as well take a look at the scenery now.”
Zhang Yue and Guo Lin looked side by side.
There was a cold wind from all directions on the mountain peak, which blew their shirts flying. However, they did not feel cold at all and talked and laughed to their heart's content.
After seeing the scenery, the two of them walked down the mountain.
At this time, the rumbling bells were ringing.
The students from before have gathered together.
One of them, several students congratulated him.
Zhang Yue listened for a few words and learned that this person was the first person to be promoted to the Imperial Academy in Bianjing.
But I saw that person saying: "Guys, please stop praising me. When I was young, I was conceited and thought that passing the top grade in a subject was just something I could easily get. Who would have thought that if I failed to pass the exam once, or failed to pass the exam, I would become a success. I have failed twice, and now I realize that I am just a hopeless person like a fish and shrimp. I have been promoted to Taixue in my wasted years, and I have failed to live up to the expectations of all my teachers and classmates. This life will be nothing more. That’s all.”
This man's words, which were as bland as Versailles literature, choked Zhang Yue half to death.
“Then you don’t have to go!” Zhang Yue complained silently in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have heard Zhang Yue's inner voice and said: "Do you think I don't want to solve the test step by step, pass the general test, and pass the palace test, win three yuan in a row, and pass the number one scholar, instead of going to Taixue?"
“But my Fujian Road test is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and there is still a hard battle in the general test. I am just a timid and courageous person, so I took this shortcut. Please don’t laugh at me.”
Someone on the side said: "Brother Huang, don't worry, the Imperial College also has supervisory examinations, and you can win three yuan in a row."
“How can the difficulty and ease of this be discussed in general?”
Zhang Yue listened to what this person said and thought to himself, "Awesome, I will remember you."
Zhang Yue walked aside calmly, only to see that He Qi had returned to normal.
He told people he knew well: "Yesterday on the court, I clearly said something to impress Li Xuezheng, but for some reason I was still admitted to the state school. This really shouldn't be the case."
Everyone on the left or right expressed relief.
One person said: "It doesn't matter, Taixue needs to listen and read for a hundred days before solving the test. No matter what, I can't catch up with the current subject. It won't be too late for Brother He to be recommended to the state for the next subject."
Zhang Yue walked into the crowd, but saw a student who happened to step forward and asked, "Is this Zhang Yue, a economics student from Pucheng County?"
Zhang Yue turned around and saw that the people around him were not the top students who refused to tell him their names yesterday.
Zhang Yue's lips curled up slightly and he said with a smile, "Indeed."
Everyone on the left and right laughed and said, "It's really Zhang Saburo."
“I was rude yesterday.”
Zhang Yue looked around, walked around for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and cupped his hands and said, "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. I'm just about to get close to you."
Everyone said: "That's right."
While he was talking, Li Xuezheng, Assistant Professor Sun and others had already arrived.
All the students raised their hands together.
Li Xuezheng smiled and said: "Don't be formal, everyone. The state school is hosting a banquet for you tonight. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it."
When Li Xuezheng arrived, many students immediately joined in the discussion.
When it was Zhang Yue and Guo Lin's turn, they both stepped forward and said, "Student Xie Xuezheng for recommending me!"
Li Xuezheng smiled at Zhang Yue and said: "Sanlang's various subjects are the best in the state. There is no doubt that recommending you is expected. Do you plan to take the Nine Classics in the future?"
Zhang Yue said: "That's exactly it."
Li Xuezhengdao: "Since the founding of Yizu, the north has suffered from repeated wars. Therefore, the cultural governance in the south was at its peak for a while, while scholars in the north learned the classics. The first-rate talents in the south studied essays and then learned the classics. As for the first-rate talents in the north, they learned the classics.
There are all Jinshi."
Zhang Yue listened and said: "Xue Zheng, assistant teacher, teach the students to remember."
Li Xuezheng said: "Although your Ming Jing is good in this state, it is because many talents in this state go to study it, but it is not easy to be called Ming Jing after entering the Imperial College. But I look back at your three policy questions, which are quite good.
It's remarkable, and it's not like it was written by a scholar. Can you tell me the truth and ask someone to write it for you?"
At the side, Assistant Professor Sun laughed and said, "Ce asked just to observe your literary theory. Now that you have already recommended him to the Imperial Academy, you might as well tell Xuezheng the truth."
Zhang Yuedao: "Reporting to Xuezheng, the teaching assistant, I wrote the student policy questions myself, but after I finished the manuscript, I asked Mr. Boyi to correct a few places."
Li Xuezheng and Assistant Professor Sun smiled and said: "No wonder it is so."
Li Xuezhengdao: "If this is the case, we know that your literary theory is very good. After entering the Imperial College in the future, it is not a bad idea to transfer from a classics student to a Jinshi."
Zhang Yue listened to his thoughts, is it possible for the Imperial College to change its major?
Assistant Professor Sun said: "The way of articles, poems and poems is literature, and the way of exegesis of classics and meanings is quality. If quality is better than writing, it will be wild, and if literature is better than quality, it will be history. Literary quality is the way of a gentleman."
Zhang Yuexin Dao, which means to encourage oneself to study both classics and meanings, as well as to cultivate both arts and sciences.
“Thank you, Xuezheng, the teaching assistant for your earnest teachings! Students should first pass the Imperial Academy.”
Li Xuezheng appreciated it and said: "Such a prudent statement."
Zhang Yue could feel that Li Xuezheng and Assistant Professor Sun’s words were spoken from the bottom of their hearts.
Then the two of them spoke to Guo Lin again. Guo Lin's eyes were filled with tears and he was extremely moved.
These words are good wishes to both of them!
Just like a young eagle spreading its wings and about to fly into the sky, the mother eagle is standing by to comb its feathers with her beak.
If it succeeds, the young eagle will never return.
At this time, an academic officer hurried up the mountain and said a few words to another academic officer in front of him. This academic officer came to Li Xuezheng and said a few words.
Zhang Yue heard the other party vaguely say something like, "The state general judge is here, please learn to be upright and come out to welcome him."
Soon Li Xuezheng led a group of academic officials and hurriedly hurried from the middle of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Then Li Xuezheng and a group of people slowly walked up the mountain surrounding an official like stars holding the moon.
Zhang Yue knew in his heart that this person was the judge of this state.
In the Song Dynasty, the most powerful persons in a state were the magistrates and general magistrates.
But who has more power, the Zhizhou or the Tongpan? It’s hard to say. The Zhizhou and the Tongpan each have their own teams. It seems that the Zhizhou is the first governor, but the Tongpan is neither the second deputy nor an official. In fact, it can
Sitting on an equal footing.
Li Xuezheng said: "This is the general magistrate of this state. I hope you will see me as soon as possible."
Of course all the students knew what a high official Tongpan was, so they all bowed and saluted.
The general judge smiled slightly and said: "When I meet you today, you can see that I, Jianzhou, are really talented people."
All the students present here are the proud ones of heaven. There is no way that their bones will feel lighter after hearing the official's praise. Everyone thinks that this is just the way it is.
The power of officials is part of the imperial power.
Li Xuezheng first introduced to Tongpan a student named Huang who was recommended to the Imperial Academy. Huang Tongpan said a few words with a smile.
After the student named Huang, it was Zhang Yue’s turn.
Li Xuezheng introduced Zhang Yue to Tongpan in a low voice.
Tong Jian glanced at Zhang Yue and couldn't help but smile in front of him: "You really have a dignified appearance and good looks!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yue sighed sincerely, why did the other party praise his appearance instead of his talent? This clearly hit the point! No wonder the other party can become the second-largest person in the state with this emotional intelligence and knowledge.
A person's eyesight among thousands of people will be just around the corner in the future when he will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and he will be promoted to a first-rank official position.
Zhang Yue was "flattered" and said: "Thank you very much for the praise."
Then Tongpan then gave a few words of encouragement to the students who were recommended to Bianjing and Nanjing Imperial College.
Finally, Tongjian said to the students: "To promote talents for the country, to perform rituals and music to promote morality, this is the meaning of the country's Yongpan Palace. You sharpen your knowledge, study hard and make progress, and it is also the meaning of the court to encourage learning. The king wants a beautiful girl,
This is the use of great advice, which is the virtue of ancient and modern times..."
The judge had a good conversation.
All the students present were listening, but Zhang Yue thought it was meaningless. The leader was talking a lot of clichés, could there be any actual benefit?
The final judge said: "...the West is not at peace, and the military and state departments of the imperial court are also in short supply. Now that you are about to go to Beijing to be entrusted by Xuezheng, no matter how difficult it is for the state to survive, you should allocate some money and food...
…”
Hearing this, Zhang Yue became more energetic.
The judge looked at Xuezhengdao and said, "We have discussed that each person will be given five guan of money, and two soldiers will be assigned to serve on the road. This will be distributed by the states and counties."
Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this. No, it was finally a benefit.
All the students expressed their thanks, which was very sincere.
After Tongpan left, Assistant Professor Xuezheng issued official documents to all the students proving that the state school was going to the Imperial College, and then held a banquet in the county school’s dining hall.
At this banquet, Li Xuezheng sat at the same table with all the academic officials.
A few prospective Imperial College students who were about to take exams in Beijing were sitting at the same table.
He Qi waited at a table for the other students who had not passed the exam.
Zhang Yue took the initiative to get close to a scholar named Huang who was admitted to Jinshizhai in Bianjing.
The man's surname was Huang Minghaoyi. When he heard Zhang Yue's name, he smiled slightly and said, "I've heard Zhang Sanlang's name for a long time. I've admired him for a long time. It's a coincidence that you and I are related by marriage."
Zhang Yue was stunned, what kind of relative were these?
Only after listening to Huang Haoyi's lecture did Zhang Yue understand.
It turns out that Huang Xianyi's background is indeed extraordinary. He is also originally from Pucheng and comes from the surname Huang, one of the four major influential families in the county.
His uncle was the famous minister Huang Xiaoxian, and his cousin Huang Haoqian was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou. Huang Haoqian proposed to the Zhang family as soon as he became a Jinshi. Huang Haoqian married none other than Zhang Yu's daughter, who is the sister of his second brother .
Zhang Yue felt a little embarrassed when he heard this: "To be honest, my second brother and I..."
Huang Xianyi said: "Hey, I've heard the rumors. But no matter what others say, my cousin admires the second brother Ling very much. He said that he has seen all the talented people in the world, and there is no one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Zihou!"
Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this.
Huang Haoqian was indeed Zhang Dun’s brother-in-law. Historically, his son, Zhang Dun’s nephew Huang Zai, was exiled to the island by Cai Jing precisely because he was implicated by Zhang Dun.
Speaking of this, Huang Haoyi said with emotion: "Compared with your brother and cousin, I am really like a fish and a shrimp."
