The first day when all the inmates of Banshan Hall in the Imperial College were present, ended uneventfully.
Afterwards, most of the supervising students said with lingering fear that they were lucky to have listened to the violent advice of Zhang Chen and the others, and to have listened to Lu Sanlang's gentle advice. Otherwise, when the emperor suddenly arrived, anyone who missed class would be like a child at night.
The bright light is so conspicuous. On the contrary, the two underage princes, the third prince and the fourth prince, have become classmates, and they feel no pressure.
When there are two legitimate sons of the queen, the eldest prince and the second prince, the younger prince is the younger prince.
In contrast, Zhang Shou's first lecture on history turned out to be the disaster of the white horse. It was interpreted more from the perspective of the imperial examination, which naturally attracted criticism from some people. But compared to his initial speech of "defining the present and defeating the past"
In terms of public opinion, the story of the White Horse Disaster has become completely negligible. However, the emperor's promise to the Imperial Academy Supervisor overshadowed these controversies.
At that moment, low-ranking officials who were originally envious of Dr. Guozi, a rare but valuable official position, were so envious that they went crazy with envy!
Ranking first every year and choosing the sixth-grade official vacancies every three years, this is simply... adding a mouth-watering piece of pork on top of the already fragrant braised pork!
The elective courses in the afternoon of the first day were just a mess of course selection statistics, so in the evening, Zhang Shou stepped into Shuntianfu Yamen again. It was not his first time here. He was not familiar with the roads, but he had seen them before.
However, the master treated him as if he were the person he knew most, spoke to him familiarly, and sent him to the Second Hall of the Shuntian Prefecture in a familiar manner.
When Zhang Shou stepped into this place, he saw an unexpected and reasonable scene.
That's really...a huge amount of literature!
He once knew that the college entrance examination papers had to be piled up in a room. But now, in the corner of the second hall of Shuntian Mansion, there were stacks of various scrolls and papers, which looked extremely messy at first glance.
Behind the major case, Wang Datou, the always unsmiling Shuntian Prefecture Yin Wangjie, was sitting there with a cold face. The one who attacked him was a young official whom he seemed to have met at the gate of Shuntian Prefecture. But that day he was quickly arrested.
Zhu Ying pushed onto the sedan chair and forgot to ask who it was. If he were to guess based on the news he had heard before, it should be Song Tuiguan.
The desks of both of them are full of documents like mountains.
And next to this Song official, a young man he knew so well that he couldn't be more familiar didn't even notice his coming in. He was leaning on a small table, numbly looking at the papers one by one.
Just throw it on the ground.
It wasn't until Zhang Shou stood next to the small desk, blocking out the light, that the young man suddenly raised his head, his face full of anger. After recognizing him, he suddenly shouted in annoyance.
"Young gentleman, look at these papers! You don't know any nonsense, but you dare to send them to Shuntian Mansion Yamen!"
Zhang Shou knelt down and picked up a paper on the ground. After taking a look at it, he couldn't help but feel his temples pounding. If he were a paper marking teacher, he would rather receive a blank paper than a paper with only three mathematics questions.
On the application question paper, I saw three eight-part essays with far-reaching ideas and expounding the principles of sages!
What the hell is this!
Just when he was about to scold his mother, Wang Datou's cold voice came from the main seat above: "I plan to instruct people to add conditions under the notice in the four directions. From tomorrow onwards, if any papers are to be sent in, they will need to be supervised by a guarantor.
, Those who answer questions randomly will not be allowed to take the government examination, the provincial examination, or the provincial examination in two subjects! If you dare to use the writings of saints and sages to explain your answers, you will not be allowed to take the exam in one more subject!"
It seems that Wang Datou, who also read the books of sages and was admitted to the Jinshi, and became an official all the way to Shuntian Prefecture, but at the same time was proficient in arithmetic, was also very angry about this approach that seemed to be a lucky one - this was different from the imperial examination, where he tried to learn Chinese characters.
What is the difference between writing better and hoping to please the teacher by flattering the audience? After all, except for the provincial examination, the imperial examination, and the palace examination, they are generally not transcribed, and no one can do it...
The equally tired Officer Song finally forgot how difficult his boss was to serve, and sighed and said: "It should have been like this a long time ago. If it was like this when posting notices, I think those who are lucky will
a lot less."
Zhang Shou smiled awkwardly: "I really have no experience, so I asked Wang Dayin."
The experienced Wang Datou looked obviously gloomy, but when he heard Zhang Shou's next words, his brows gradually relaxed.
"The teacher can be regarded as the first celebrity in the world, and he has the aura of an imperial master, but someone was still driven by others to block the door of his house. Now that matters such as fame and future are at stake, even if Wang Dayin comes out with this law, maybe he will
There will be people who bribe others to come and submit papers to cause trouble. After all, banning the examination can only deal with those who want to take the imperial examination, but cannot deal with ordinary people."
"So," Zhang Shou smiled slightly, "even if it is waste paper, you might as well take it in. Although there are many scholars in this capital, there are also many people who want to read but can't afford it. Most of these papers are good paper, even if the back is
They can't use a brush dipped in ink to write beautiful hairpin-shaped regular script, but it's enough for them to practice calligraphy. I think it's very feasible to verify identity, and there is no need for punishment."
Deng Xiaodai, who was familiar with Mr. Xiao, clearly saw a gentle smile on Zhang Shou's face. But he knew that behind that gentleness, there must be some naughty little guys in the village.
It's going to be unlucky. As for now, of course it's some small-minded people who are going to be unlucky.
"Furthermore, looking back at my Jiuzhang Hall, we also need a lot of calculation paper. The students recruited may not all be wealthy children like Lu Sanlang, so they can just use it. See the answers given by these smart people
When they see the names of scholars they may have heard of, they may be more confident in their own abilities and their future."
Even though he had never been serious about smiling, when he heard this last sentence, Wang Jie's big face finally showed a fleeting smile. He nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, you can say it."
Yes, it’s a pity to waste things. It’s better to let these papers be used as waste. But they are not all waste snacks, there are still some papers for you to take a look at.”
Although the answers to most of the papers were incorrect, and the three questions asked by Zhang Shou were difficult to follow in this era, some people still answered them. The idea of solving the questions is naturally not simple, let alone perfect.
And in the best case, he only answered two questions correctly, but it still opened his eyes to a brand new possibility.
Therefore, when he saw the dozens of papers that had been specially selected, he sincerely thanked Wang Fuyin and Song Tuiguan, who were dizzy after reading the papers. As for Deng Xiaodai, he is a student, and I will accept his help if he has something to do.
That was as it should be. He comforted the poor little guy in private and promised to give him a recent mathematics notebook before he left.
Let him look at the papers until his mouth is dry in class today... He should turn over the table.
When Zhang Shou returned to Zhao Guogong's mansion again, it was already nightfall. Thinking that Qi Jingshan had kindly lent him a small house, but now he couldn't live in it because countless people blocked the door, he couldn't help but sigh. But
As soon as he said this, he heard a faint voice coming from ahead.
"Look at the sword."
Zhang Shou suddenly recovered from his sighs, and the approaching cold light in front of him also startled him. But just for a moment, he immediately relaxed his muscles that had just been tense. A Liu was in front of him.
I just went to the door, and this is at the gate of Zhao Guogong's mansion. If I really encounter an assassin... hahaha, then everyone else should be dead!
Sure enough, the cold light suddenly stopped just a few steps away from him. Immediately afterwards, he could clearly see the person holding the cold light. Who else could it be if it wasn't Ah Liu? He saw the young man handing the hilt of the sword towards him with his backhand.
, his expression was rare and serious.
Is it possible that the so-called "looking at the sword" is really just to let him look at the sword?
Zhang Shou took the sword with a smile on his face, but looking left and right he couldn't see anything wrong. He could only stare at Ah Liu angrily and said: "If you have something to say, please tell me."
"Someone just brought this to the door specially and named it for the young master. Before I could give it to the madam, you came back, so the master gave it to me." Ah Liu finally said a few more words seriously, and then
He even took the initiative to add, "It came in a box, without a scabbard."
If Zhang Shou doesn't understand now, then he is a pig. What else can he do by sending a sword without a scabbard? It's just a threat! This is really nothing compared to the bloody clothes and suspected bombs he received in the mail back then.
Got it!
He chuckled, waved the sword twice, and then handed it to Ah Liu: "They say swords are given to heroes, and they come with a scabbard. I brought it with me just for self-defense."
Compared with Zhang Shou's relaxed and freehand attitude, when he came to Qing'an Hall and said the "Happy Sword" incident, the Dowager's face suddenly turned as dark as water. Today, after watching the excitement in the Imperial College this morning, she was finally dismissed.
Zhu Ying, who was forced to come back after Xu Heizi kicked him out of the Shengxing Hall twice, was also very angry.
But before the grandfather and grandson spoke, Jiuniang, who had already taken off her silk clothes and put on her regular clothes, said coldly, although her eyebrows were raised, "If you don't make people jealous, you are a mediocre person. Someone has already given Ah Shou a sword.
It shows that he has indeed made some achievements these days. In this case, rather than hiding it and letting others investigate, it is better to publicize the matter."
Zhang Shou originally had such a plan, but he didn't expect someone to beat him to it. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Jiuyi is really a heroine. I told Ah Liu before that if it has a scabbard, I will use this sword."
I'm taking the power with me for self-defense! It's just that I don't know how to use a sword. When I turn around and take a rest..."
He was about to say that when he went back to take a rest, he would ask Duke Zhao to choose a reliable general to teach him how to do it, but he did not expect that the next moment, he was greeted by two voices saying the same thing.
