"The number one scholar passed the exam, and the seven yuan were unparalleled. These two archways are to commend Grandpa Ge's achievements in the examination. Anyway, I have never heard of the second one in the world. Originally, you can also have archways after taking the exam, but that is for small students.
Only the local government will treat it as a big deal. In the capital, even Jinshi have no right to build archways on the streets. Grandpa Ge is a special case."
"Teacher of all generations. This is a tribute to Grandpa Ge who has been the emperor's teacher and the prince's teacher successively, and has a high status in the Imperial College and Tianxia Academy. When he was about to become an official, the emperor felt that he was not good enough to his teacher, so he was given the title of Taishi again.
, and then gave this archway."
"Generation Wenhan. This is even more powerful. The Ge family has produced Jinshi for five generations in a row. The second generation was a Jinshi at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was this influential scholar who was dissatisfied with the current situation and left his post.
It is said that Taizu of this dynasty was able to win the hearts of scholars only after he defected to Taizu of that time. It is said that Taizu of this dynasty, who was a reckless person, was able to win the hearts of scholars. The Ge family has a small population and is often passed down alone. It is not easy to produce Jinshi for five generations. "
"Unparalleled in eloquence. What this means is that when Grandpa Ruizhong was on his northern expedition, he made him vomit three liters of blood and died of an envoy who had defected and came back from Beidi to show off his power. Moreover, when Grandpa Ge was young, he even went to persuade him to surrender.
When dealing with barbarians and mountain bandits, Emperor Yingzong always treated him as a conciliation commissioner, sending him wherever there was trouble. He never failed, so he is so powerful!"
"Master of arithmetic. There is only this last archway. Grandpa Ge persuaded a few disciples to name it for him. He said that he actually didn't care about the other archways. Without this archway, he would have to open his eyes even if he died.
Close your eyes. Those disciples are all bachelors and monks, so we have no choice but to follow him."
As he walked and listened to the illustrious achievements of his teacher, Zhang Shou couldn't help but think to himself, this is a perfect template for a time traveler.
But when he finally passed the arithmetic archway, he heard Zhu Ying's story and compared it with Ge Yong's childish attitude. He finally couldn't help but ask: "When he was an official, wouldn't he be like this?"
Is it like this now?"
They were not the only people who came to pay homage to the memorial arch. Zhang Shou never mentioned the word "teacher". However, Zhu Ying spoke like Grandpa Ge. Even if someone looked at her, she didn't take it seriously. When she heard Zhang Shou's words
He even laughed out loud.
"When you see an old man at the age of three, do you think he was like this back then? Grandpa Ge was only nineteen years old when he won the top prize. Because he was a grandson, Ding You stayed in the system for three years. After he recovered, he went to take a bachelor's degree.
He won the first place again. Then as soon as he entered the officialdom, he directly contradicted the then chief assistant. Fortunately, Grandpa Yingzong protected him..."
Next, Zhu Ying enumerated many of Ge Yong's great achievements that offended people everywhere. Although Zhang Shou heard this, he doubted his life and thought that such a bad-tempered old man should have been tortured to death long ago.
The scholars who listened to the explanation, including those who came from other places and were ignorant, were also curious as to why the famous Grand Master Ge was able to prosper in officialdom.
And the next moment, Miss Zhu's words wiped away all the questions.
"Back then, the ancestor of the Ge family was determined not to give up the title. As a result, he died early. Emperor Taizu ordered him to be buried in the mausoleum, and also passed down the ancestral precepts. The Ge family has been a scholar for generations, and his descendants must use it well. So Ge
Although the family members are indeed bookworms, each is more proficient in articles and knowledge than the other, and each is less adept at serving as an official, yet each generation of emperors have put them all in high regard!"
"Grandpa Ge's father died young. My grandfather was a firecracker censor, and he would scold anyone he caught. Emperor Yingzong was scolded when he was still the prince, and grandpa Ruizong was scolded when he was still the vassal king. In this way, he still
I have been working as the censor of Zuodu!"
He comes from a family of founding heroes, has been passed down almost exclusively from generation to generation, has been a solitary minister for many generations, has neither friends nor cliques, has good writing and knowledge, and can also be used as a mouthpiece for trolls. How could the emperor not use such a person? Of course, he has been trolled but reused two of Gurdjieff's two works.
The previous emperors were all very generous.
Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the gate of Ge Mansion approaching, he asked the last question: "Then what kind of official position has our Grand Master Ge held in the past?"
"Prince Grand Master, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Imperial College of the Imperial Academy... Hmm, it seems that Grandpa Ge also stayed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate before."
Zhu Ying frowned slightly, then thought about it, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ge once served as the censor of Youdu, but not in the Duchayuan. Instead, he was ordered to carry the title of censor of Youdu and go to Daitian to patrol the mountains.
He offended people along the way, even encountering assassins many times. After returning, he continued to be a teacher to the then prince and later the emperor."
Sure enough, Mr. Ge, who is so charming, has always been a Qingliu official, and has never had the position of a bachelor or minister. Otherwise, no matter which emperor he met in the past three dynasties, he would probably have to worry about chaos in the court.
set.
Zhang Shou finally fully understood that although Ge Yong was a very powerful teacher with disciples all over the world, he probably had many enemies as well. However, he was very curious. According to the lonely ministers of the previous generations of the Ge family,
Fan'er, why did Ge Yong suddenly become the image of a master of all generations? Shouldn't it be the bachelors and ministers rushing to host such a thing?
While he was talking to Zhu Ying, the main entrance of Ge's Mansion had already arrived. When he just passed the archway, Zhang Shou had already seen many scholars who came to pay homage to the great achievements of his predecessors. At this time, he found that there were even more people surrounding the main entrance.
At first, he thought he was seeking apprenticeship, but when he got closer, he realized that all those people were waving were long scrolls.
"I beg Taishi Ge to take a look at my article. This is my commentary on Sun Tzu's Sutra!"
"Chief Ge Shan, I am from Jinling Academy, and these are my nine chapters of arithmetic notes!"
"I have read ten arithmetic books, and I know how to cut circles!"
Although these sounds were extremely measured and not strictly speaking, the words you spoke to each other made it seem noisy. Even so, the concierge in front of the door stood firm and steady, not to mention answering.
He didn't even blink an eyelid. Behind him was the closed door of Ge Mansion, with a flying note on it.
"Please go elsewhere if you want to study, and don't come here if you want to study."
Zhang Shou saw the words written on the note on the door through the crowd, and read it softly again. Thinking that when Ge Yong left Qi Liang's house, he left with the same note without saying goodbye, he just felt a sense of yesterday.
The feeling reappeared. The next moment, he noticed Zhu Ying gently tugging on his sleeve.
"Grandpa Ge is showing off his war-free card again. Even though he was famous in the past, there were never so many people in front of his house! Just wait, I'll go to the door and ask. If he's not at home, he must be at Grandpa Qi's place. I'll take him with me then.
you go!"
Hearing Zhu Ying's extremely low voice, Zhang Shou raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. Just when he was about to agree, he heard some of the scholars who had been paying homage to the archway shout angrily.
"We have heard of Grand Master Ge's rule of not accepting ink scrolls and not talking about favors. But Grand Master Ge Wenhan and others can accept a country boy who has a so-called engagement with Zhao Guogong's house as a closed disciple, but now so many people can't even accept it.
If you don't even take a look, wouldn't it be like those powerful and wealthy families who only recognize their identity but not their person?"
The timing was pretty good, just when we arrived at the door...
Such a thought flashed through Zhang Shou's mind, and then he turned to look at Zhu Ying, only to see the eldest lady tapping her hand lightly with a riding crop, but she did not have an attack immediately. Instead, her pair of bright black eyes looked at the crowd, clearly dead.
He stared at the person who spoke.
He didn't need to think about it to know that the eldest lady was about to get angry, so he subconsciously grabbed her reins. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Zhu Ying turn her head immediately, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"Emperor Taizu had a ban back then. He directly put up an iron plate at the Gongyuan. It said that the imperial examination is fair and it is strictly forbidden to write the test. Those who violate it will be expelled. After the emperor ascended the throne, he reiterated the ban. Not only did these guys knowingly break the law, they actually scolded you. I
