The third prince's loud question immediately embarrassed the supervisors who had gathered from all directions. Among them, not all of them wanted to ask back, is it possible, your highness, that you can tell the difference between rice and wheat? However, they were dissatisfied.
The muttering seemed to be heard by the third prince, who quickly received an answer.
"Some people may want to ask whether I can recognize rice and wheat, and whether I know what farming is like. Oh, I am afraid I will disappoint those who question. I once went to the farmland with my teacher Zhang Xueshi, rode a buffalo, and saw it with my own eyes
I saw the teacher taking Ji Jiu, who is now the first grade student of Jiuzhang Hall, and several Banshan Hall supervisors to cut wheat in the field."
"Gu is young and frail, so he can't cut wheat with others, but he has at least taken his fourth brother to pick up wheat ears, and he knows what it feels like to have back pain while working! Even though my father is close to farmers, local officials still want to
Encouraging farmers, what about you? I came here today just to see if anyone would feel ashamed, but all I heard was angry complaints, and all I saw was chaos!"
"Gu's teacher, the director of Donggong Zhaoming Academy, Yue Shan, has been merciful. If it were my father, or Gu, he wouldn't be able to give 20 points, not even a single point, for those nonsense farming policies.
! If you feel dissatisfied, I would like to print out a collection of those who are dissatisfied with these agricultural policy questions, so that all scholars in the world can read them!"
As soon as these words came out, those supervisors who had been filled with righteous indignation and clamored the most fiercely felt their faces burning and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Some even trembled with their legs, obviously thinking that if their article was printed, it would be read by others.
After arriving, it spread everywhere and made countless people laugh and make fun of the results.
However, the ones who reacted more than them were Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye. They thought the pie falling from the sky was so delicious and tempting before, but now they feel how difficult the dilemma they are facing now is. Don't talk about those
Supervisors, they all want to tear up the full score ranking list outside!
But since he knew that this was impossible, Zhou Jijiu could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. These supervisors are just young and energetic, with little self-awareness. They made drastic actions in the moment. They were not questioning the prince's behavior."
The test questions, let alone questioning the evaluation results of the readers..."
Ever since King Jiangdu and Xu Heijun said that the judges in the East Palace were the ones who acted as lecturers and readers in the East Palace, Zhou Jijiu knew that it was absolutely impossible to question the results afterwards. He originally wanted to pick the best among the shortest, but there are always a few people from the Imperial Academy who can make it to the East Palace.
Attendant, who would have thought that, originally, only the selection of the final candidates should be listed, but for the first time, the ranking of everyone was announced!
And just by looking at the reactions of these supervisory students, we can see that many people who have high self-esteem have failed. No wonder there is such great anger! Of course, if this ranking is not announced, only the admitted ones, maybe there will be different opinions later.
This kind of messy rumors were all the rage, so now Dong Palace has made everything clear, cutting off the way for people to question it!
Therefore, after seeing him say these words, the third prince's expression was cold. It was clear that because of everything that happened today, the prince who was already deeply prejudiced against the Imperial College was even more dissatisfied. Zhou Jijiu could only feel his heart and squeeze out.
A hint of smile said: "Furthermore, it is said that Banshan Hall also participated in this selection. I wonder what their ranking is and where is the list announced?"
The third prince's eyes turned cold. At this moment, another naughty kid who had been hiding behind him just now and pretending to be honest flashed out and smiled at Zhou Jijiu.
"The total scores and rankings of Banshan Hall have also come out, but the third brother of the prince feels that it would be a bit unsightly to post them near the Imperial College. After all, everyone has transferred to public schools now. Of course, if Da Sicheng insists,
, that doesn’t mean you can’t post it.”
Speaking of this, the fourth prince even emphasized: "Not only the rankings, but also those who scored more than 70 points on the agricultural advice done by those in Banshan Hall can also be posted for everyone to compare their merits! Of course, this time
Zhang Wuji, who has the highest overall score in the Banshan Hall, is placed in the overall ranking of the Sixth Hall of the Imperial College, which is somewhat invisible."
Zhou Jijiu didn't know where he was. If the third prince grew up from being shy to being stable and reliable, then the fourth prince was as impulsive and reckless as ever, a total troublemaker. Nowadays, when people say this, he always feels a little bad.
, but I didn’t expect that among the academic officers behind me, there was a doctor who couldn’t help but speak out.
"If that's the case, then post it for everyone to evaluate and evaluate!"
"Of course." With these words, Zhang Shou, who had just brought Ah Liu Qiaran to Yilun Hall but was hiding behind the other lecturers, showed up calmly and saw a group of people.
The gazes of his former colleagues came to him like needles, and he said with a smile, "Anyway, there are only a few dozen people from Banshan Hall, so it's not troublesome to rank."
Seeing that Zhang Shou was so calm and composed, many academic officials felt that something was wrong. Although some people could not help but secretly curse, thinking that the third prince deliberately leaked the question to everyone in Banshan Hall, but even the stupidest people
Nor would he express his doubts openly.
The emperor is now obviously very partial to the prince. If he questions the prince's cheating, isn't that asking for death?
But the third prince's next words once again dealt a heavy blow to everyone's hearts: "Since a doctor has made such a request, and the teacher has agreed, let's do this, and order the imperial valet outside the palace to post the list of Banshan Hall as well.
This kind of screening was originally planned to be once a month, but now that we see the response, it will be changed to once a quarter."
"In case some people are not ashamed and courageous, but are frightened and dare not take the exam again. However, I have something to say first. This time it is about agricultural affairs. In the future, it may be pastoral supervisors, shipping, or the specific details of water conservancy ditches.
To implement...there is no need to think about where to prepare a comprehensive sample essay to cope with it. After all, no matter how capable those essays are, can they be compared to the teachers selected by the emperor for me?"
"As for Shi Wen, let alone it. I don't think that the Shi Wen of these supervisors in the Imperial College and those of the Hanlin Academy who passed five tests and killed six generals and became Jinshi, and finally passed the selection and stayed in the Imperial Academy, whose beautiful articles are known all over the world.
And I can’t judge whether I’m good or bad.”
Although it was a headache to review the thousands of papers before - this was still the result of the help of students and even others, but at this moment, hearing the third prince's high praise of them, the lecturers of the East Palace, including Chief Yue Shan,
Most of them can't suppress their pride.
Especially when the third prince sincerely asked Mr. Xiao Shan and others who were not able to participate in the marking this time, saying that they were specialized in the field of medicine and would trouble them to take action if relevant questions came up next time, a few people immediately looked humble and said,
He wholeheartedly agreed.
As for helping to cheat? Is that because they have water in their head? Their wish is not just to look familiar in front of His Highness, but to establish a good image in His Highness's mind and build enough trust - in
In this regard, Zhang Shou is the best example! Especially since they only have the right to mark the exam, but not the right to set the questions, who wants to be left out of the conversation?
Besides, how could the person they really couldn't refuse and had to sell favors to in these days waste their time in the Imperial College?
And their expressions were seen by many academic officials in the Imperial College, and naturally they felt extremely embarrassed. But even Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye would not rush to the East Palace to carry out a bunch of prestigious lectures.
Therefore, when the third prince once again emphasized that the Imperial College was not a place to hang around and gain reputation, and then went in the direction of Jianxian Pavilion, they were caught off guard and became even more sluggish.
When the third prince and the fourth prince were studying in the Imperial College Banshan Hall, the academic officials were once worried that they would serve as the emperor's eyes and quietly watch everything going on in the Imperial College. However, over time, they rarely had time to spend time in the Imperial College other than seeing people in class and after class.
After staying, I gradually felt at ease. Even if the third prince left Banshan Hall and was admitted to Jiuzhang Hall, nothing would happen.
Because they have already seen that the third prince has never been very interested in the Imperial College. But now, His Highness the Crown Prince, who had never been to Jianxian Pavilion when he was in the Imperial College, suddenly wanted to go to this dusty palace.
The library!
At this moment, Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye thought at the same time that when Zhang Shou first came to the capital last year, didn't he take a bunch of noble disciples from the Banshan Hall to visit the Imperial College at night and scan the Jiuzhang Hall at night?
That time, because the Jiuzhangtang plaque was locked in the warehouse and the Jiuzhangtang was covered in dust and in disrepair, Zhou Jijiu almost got falsely accused. But this time, there was no need for others to falsely accuse him.
Everyone knows what the scene is like in Jianxian Pavilion!
Outside the university archway of the Imperial College, the vendors doing breakfast business here were all on the verge of tears when faced with today's scene of huge crowds of people but extremely poor business. On weekdays, within an hour, all the vendors
Everything was sold out, but today not even a third of it was sold. There were even people who were pushed and pushed, and some supervisors took away their things without getting any money.
Moreover, a small vendor who had just been so angry that he was scolding others was unknowingly feeling scared under the annoyed eyes of several colleagues. Even though he was just scolding a prison student, maybe he was...
He was from a wealthy family and was able to make a fortune in the officialdom. He turned around and told the Yamen: Can they still do this small business every day?
But he couldn't lose face. Under the angry glares of others, he could only snort in a stern tone: "These guys have to be reasonable! Isn't His Highness the Prince here? He is giving instructions inside. At worst, I will stop him from kowtowing when he turns around.
Please..."
"Chu Dajiao, please stop talking so much about yourself. How dare you stop the Crown Prince of the East Palace? Rush out and kneel there. If you can finish your words, I will read your name upside down!"
The man's teasing was immediately interrupted by another man's laughter: "Wang Da, don't take advantage of Chu Dajiao. With your name, you will become a king... Hehe, if you really have the courage to change your name,
I just convinced you!"
Although they still had the energy to tease each other, the hurriedness of everyone was not genuine. But someone secretly peeked at the men in black cloaks standing under the wall, only to find that these people were still as motionless as stakes.
These vendors are all natives of the capital. They are very familiar with the guards at the city gates inside and outside the capital. They have also looked at the elite soldiers at the palace gate from a distance, but they have never seen such a clearly alive person, but they can have such a strong presence.
If people who stand like this read more books, they may wonder whether this is a puppet after all.
However, they didn't know that much after all. After laughing and joking, they found that the other party didn't respond at all. No one came over to ask a few questions, so they gradually started to sigh. Seeing the sun getting higher, they were pushing the cart here.
The time limit for the business was coming soon, and a group of people just became anxious.
At this moment, a man suddenly ran out in a hurry and shouted at the men in black cloaks: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince ordered that the list of Banshan Hall be posted as well!"
As soon as these words came out, a group of small vendors saw the men in black cloaks who they thought were clay and wood sculptures finally moved. However, these people were not as well-trained as they imagined.
They went to work, but looked at each other, and finally someone asked: "We posted the list last night, but there is no one from Banshan Hall?"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a slow voice rang out: "I have this list of Banshan Hall. I originally wanted to post it to the public school. Since His Highness the Crown Prince ordered it, let's post it!"
When Hua Qi appeared, he saw that the imperial servants who had just started to move stood upright instantly, even a bit stiff in the uprightness. The smile on his face deepened, so he held the yellow list in one hand and the ointment in the other.
Fu, he said hello again.
Seeing that a few people finally hurried forward as if they had just woken up from a dream, he handed over the list and paste in his hands, and waited until a few people hurriedly ran back, found the last vacant seat that happened to be just right, and started
While he was busy there, he said with a smile: "From last night to now, you have been busy all night. It is hard work to get up early and stay here."
Although the imperial attendants would never shout out "Serve the People", they were still very familiar with a few words of sincerity and humility. However, before they could be polite because they were cold and hungry, Hua Qi smiled brightly and opened her mouth again.
Got it.
"Although you drank a bowl of mutton soup in the middle of the night to ward off the cold, you probably haven't had time to have breakfast yet, right? The scene just today of a large number of prison students crowded around to look at the list happened to be so bad that no one was doing breakfast business here.
If you lose business, there should always be compensation. After you finish posting this list, go and buy all the unsold breakfasts from each store."
"It can be regarded as my reward for your hard work all night, and at the same time, I will compensate them for not doing a lot of business in the morning."
The vendors who were looking around could not help but be overjoyed when they heard this conversation. However, before some of them could think about the matter of the lion opening his mouth, they were frightened by Hua Qi's next words.
Shivering.
"After eating, if you feel that any restaurant is shoddy, lacking in quality, or the food is not authentic, remember to tell me. I will go back and have a good talk with Lin Laohu, the head of the execution room of Shuntian Prefecture!"
Realizing that they were facing a kind-hearted but difficult-to-fool official, a group of small vendors naturally did not dare to ask for exorbitant prices and honestly sold out all the remaining inventory. Even if there were twenty or thirty imperial servants
I usually practice martial arts to strengthen my body, and I do have a big appetite, but when I asked around, I learned that there were dozens of bowls of noodles, hundreds of steamed buns, hundreds of sesame seed cakes, hundreds of dumplings... They couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Even if
