Six hundred and sixtieth IX responsibility to righteousness
If the prince and those in the East Palace don't come out again...then they really won't come out!
Outside the archway of the Imperial College, facing the increasing flow of people, Hua Qi, who was hiding in the big tree, could not help but frown. While wondering if she had sent too few people, she was also worried that she had not yet seen anyone coming out of the Imperial College.
The third prince and his party. He didn't expect that the vendors were so active. It seemed that only two quarters of an hour had passed, right?
When it spreads to ten or hundreds of people, how many people will come to watch the excitement?
Glancing at the many candidates who gathered around the eight-character wall looking at the yellow list and commenting on it, he knew very well that this was because after the results of the provincial examination were released, the wealthy and quick-moving candidates had already arrived in the capital. Of course,
It does not rule out that there are those old people who live in the capital and only want to go to No. 1 Middle School.
He took a gentle breath, then jumped to the ground quietly, bypassed the wall with a yellow list, and finally came to a deserted place, and climbed over quietly without any effort. But when he seemed like
I walked around in a circle like a leisurely stroll, and finally bumped into Zhang Shou and his group in front of the doctor's hall. I found that Zhang Shou and the other lecturers were still there, but the third prince had disappeared.
Seeing that everyone's expressions were a bit delicate, Hua Qi went straight forward and said: "There are already many people swarming outside the door. If His Royal Highness and you all don't return to the palace, and the outside is overcrowded, I am afraid that more troops and horses will be dispatched to escort. Then
That’s when we’ll get into trouble.”
As soon as he said this, he heard the voice of a naughty child: "Someone in the Imperial Academy just reported that there are a lot of people outside. The third brother of the prince is not willing to clean the streets for him and disturb the people, so he has been escorted back first. He is not here.
, I will take everyone through the main entrance, anyway, as long as I reveal my identity, others will definitely retreat in disappointment!"
When the fourth prince saw Hua Qi looking at him in astonishment, he immediately raised his head proudly and said, "As a younger brother, of course you should share your worries for your elder brother. This is how brothers and sisters respect each other, don't you think so, Commander Hua?"
Hearing that the fourth prince specifically pointed out his identity, Hua Qi couldn't help but feel a little stiff on his face. Is this a revenge that he secretly planned after he quietly woke up the naughty kid last night, and then agreed openly?
He saw Ah Liu missing from Zhang Shou's side, and he didn't know why.
It doesn't matter if the fourth prince is fooling around, but the third prince must be willing to listen! Moreover, with so many academic officials present, no one wants to admonish the prince? What's more, if the people outside know that the third prince
If he left quietly like that, it's probably hard to predict how he would react.
Hua Qi glanced past Zhang Shou and looked at the others one by one. She saw two distinct groups of people among the lecturers in the East Palace. Meng, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and others all looked particularly calm, with expressions on their faces that I didn't understand at all.
The fourth prince looked like he was talking about something, while the three mountain chiefs, who were born among the common people, were talking and laughing freely. Therefore, in the end, he could only hope that Zhang Shou could give him an explanation.
And Zhang Shou did not live up to his expectations, and said with a smile: "Ah Liu received a token of East Palace Guards from the Emperor, so since His Highness the Crown Prince ordered him, he naturally had to obey. His Highness the Crown Prince also said that it was the right time
During the time when the disciples gathered in the capital, although everyone had given lectures at the Jingyan Festival and the Imperial College before, there were still many people who could not listen."
"In this case, in this examination, the top-ranked essays reviewed by the lecturers in the East Palace should be collected and printed one by one, so that people can know what questions are asked in this examination and what emphasis they have.
.”
After the results were released in the spring of previous years, there would be people who compiled the Jinshi Gold List for the people who were named on this subject's gold list, and even tried to get their examination articles and even the questionnaires for the subsequent imperial examinations, compiled and published for the vast number of people who were interested in the examination field.
For reference for scholars. But now that the third prince actually planned to follow this approach, Hua Qideng was secretly shocked.
He has only been the crown prince for a few days, but the third prince is already so decisive?
He wondered in his mind whether this was Zhang Shou's instigation, but in the end he didn't ask or question it. He just stepped aside to get out of the way, and saw the fourth prince walking out with a group of lecturers and officials, quite like a naughty child.
The momentum of growing up.
However, he found that none of the academic officials in the Imperial Academy had sent anyone to see him off, and he had not seen any prison students when he came in before. He didn't know whether he had been beaten too hard, so he forgot the etiquette, or he planned to stay like Emperor Taizu.
Like the famous saying below, if you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence. I couldn't help but make another note in my heart for the teachers and students here.
Although the fourth prince was asked to lead a group of lecturers in front, Hua Qi, who was following behind, moved much faster than them. He actually jumped over the wall again and went out. He thought he was going to summon people, but he didn't expect it.
The guards from Ruiqi Camp have already arrived.
Fortunately, although there were many scholars who came after hearing the news at this time, at least it was not as exciting as the scene when the supervisors gathered to read the results. In addition, there were imperial guards suppressing them on the wall, and guards from the Ruiqi Camp escorted them on the other side.
When several carriages came over, most of the scholars who came to watch after hearing the news retreated obediently to the back.
The Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that he didn't need to identify himself. But as he approached the carriage with his head held high, he heard someone in the crowd suddenly shouting.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask the East Palace attendants who are only selected from the prison students and study hard in the cold window of the world. Where can the people be selected in the Hundred Battle Examination Hall!"
The fourth prince who was about to get on the carriage was suddenly startled, and then turned around angrily and shouted: "First of all, I am not the third brother of the prince! Secondly, the world is studying hard, and the candidates in the Hundred Battles Examination are not only Juren, but also Tongsheng.
, scholar! And in the end, being an Attendant of the East Palace is not an official career, and even the Attendant of the East Palace, except for Lu Gaoyuan who has indeed made meritorious deeds, has no actual rank!"
The clear voice of the fourth prince suppressed the question at once, but only for a moment, there was a small commotion in the crowd again. It seemed that his words could not convince others.
However, before he could think of anything else to say, a voice he was all too familiar with came from the carriage in front of him: "Fourth brother, get out of here."
The fourth prince originally thought that just like him last time, Ah Liu must have carried the prince's third brother back to the palace, but he never expected that someone would be in the carriage in front of him before he could get in!
His heart was full of surprise and doubt, but he still obeyed the instructions and kept his mouth shut, but he was very curious about what the third prince would say.
"Someone just asked, if the attendants of the East Palace are only selected from the Imperial College, where can the world be elected?"
After repeating the question again, the third prince in the car said word for word: "I still remember that at the time of Emperor Taizu, in addition to tribute prison, donation prison, and regular prison, the Imperial College also often admitted failed candidates, and even
Those who passed the Jinshi examination but were too young were often personally assigned by Emperor Taizu to study in the Imperial College. In the Imperial College at that time, everyone was proud to be among them."
"But it's not like now, when the reputation of a supervisor is declining, and when someone hears that only a supervisor can serve as an attendant in the East Palace, some people are so angry!"
Faced with such tit-for-tat cross-examination, the face of the person who just spoke hidden in the crowd suddenly turned red.
In addition, he was so shocked that he found that there were many people looking at him, some of whom recognized him. When he thought that he might be targeted afterwards, this person did not dare to speak rashly again.
After the third prince cited an example from that year, he said in a deep voice: "The period of time for the supervisors to study in the Imperial College varies from person to person. Those who paid tribute were those who were grateful because their elders died in state affairs, and those who passed the provincial examination and were admitted to the Imperial Academy.
, most of them are six months. And those who donate prison often do not actually serve in prison to study, and the other times are also different. Only those who are in prison for three years, such as those who study in the county school and pay tribute to the Imperial Academy."
"But now it seems that Jiansheng, such as Ngong, etc., can't actually learn anything after being imprisoned for half a year. Therefore, I plan to report to my father, no matter what my background, if I want to finally take the title of Jiansheng, I need to sit.
Three years in prison. If you want to go to the Ministry of Civil Service as a supervisor early, you can go all the way to Suixing Hall, and then be among the best, and then you can be released from prison!"
"As for Juren who also want to be among the attendants of the East Palace, that's even simpler. Juren who are ranked in the provincial examination can still study in prison, so why can't Juren who are in the official list of the provincial examination not study in prison? As long as you are confident that you can surpass most in the Imperial College
If there are more people than you, the gate of the East Palace will naturally be open for you!"
"However, if you are named on the gold list next year, pass the Jinshi examination, and then stay in the library as a shujishi after the selection, and after the shujishi leaves the library, you will be selected as a lecturer in the East Palace because of your profound knowledge and splendid articles, and you will become an orphan.
Teacher, isn't this more glamorous than a mere servant in the East Palace? After ten years of hard study, shouldn't we have the ambition of the world? How can we be just a servant in the East Palace?"
Youzai Youzai hid behind the other lecturers, Zhang Shou squinted his eyes slightly, and was not too surprised that the third prince suddenly appeared on the carriage outside.
After all, there are no bulletproof cars these days, but at least there are carriages that are resistant to bows and arrows. Once the door is closed at the critical moment, unless you have extraordinary strength, it is impossible to break the defense. Ah Liu did not quietly send the third prince out of the Imperial Palace and put him in this car.
Carriage, this is the most correct way. Otherwise, should we carry the third prince directly to Bei'anmen, and then walk back to Ciqing Palace on two legs?
Of course, I don’t know if it was the third prince’s idea or Ah Liu’s own decision.
However, it is very rare for the third prince to be so organized at this time. Suddenly becoming a prince has to face very heavy schoolwork. In addition to such schoolwork, he not only has to accept the emperor's teachings, but he can also squeeze out
Taking time to think about it, it can be said that even the emperor who chose the third prince underestimated that little child at the beginning.
Of course he did too. How could he have imagined that that shy child would transform like this?
However, the third prince was still young, and even if he performed very well, if the emperor really wanted to be suspicious of such a prince, it would take five or six years sooner or later, so he was not too worried that something unbearable would happen.
So, seeing that after the third prince said those words, no one in the crowd raised any questions, and the fourth prince was also pulled into the carriage. He waited until everyone else got on the carriage one by one, and then he took a closer look.
The gathered supervisors got into the last car.
But as soon as he sat down, he discovered that the person riding with him was actually the director of Zhaoming Academy, Yue Shan. Because his family was also related to Fang Qing, a candidate for the examination who was born in Zhaoming Academy, he and the director of Yue Shan had a small feud.
.
But that was already a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning, so the relationship between the two of them, even if it was not close, was quite harmonious for several days. But the biggest reason for the harmony was that the lecturers at the East Palace lectured separately, and he and
Yueshan Chang is almost untouchable on weekdays!
Therefore, it was a rare opportunity for us to ride together in the same car. Chief Yue Shan was happy to express his goodwill and laugh and tell some small jokes that were circulated among the people, but they did not involve any political affairs, personnel affairs or conflicts. And Zhang Shou was also happy to hear about this.
The daily life of ordinary scholars is that they not only listen with interest, but also ask questions from time to time.
The Imperial College was very close to Bei'anmen of the imperial city, so the two did not talk for too long before the carriage finally stopped. Today was not a day for Zhang Shou or Yue Shan to give lectures, so the two got out of the car and watched the three of them off.
After the prince took the fourth prince and Chief Xiao Shan into the palace, he saw that most of the others said hello and went back to their respective places. There were no outsiders. Chief Yue Shan laughed.
"Xueshi Zhang, you are young, but you are not only independent-minded, but also have many fantastic ideas. In the past, everyone said that Mrs. Ge had a sharp eye and discerning pearls. But forgive me for being presumptuous, you should have other ideas."
Are you going to take over from me?"
Many people have had such questions, but Ge Yong once made it clear in front of Zhang Shou that he didn't care, that it didn't matter, and that he was willing to trust and be tolerant. The same was true for the emperor. Therefore, Zhang Shou still asked someone like Yue Shanchang clearly.
First time encounter.
He didn't care about him, but raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Yes, I do have teachers, not just one, but many, many."
Even though the more he came into contact with Zhang Shou, the more he saw people's endless whimsical thoughts. In fact, Yue Shanchang did not expect to get a positive answer from Zhang Shou to his question. Therefore, he originally planned to answer Zhang Shou's denial after Zhang Shou denied it.
, just a harmless joke, but I didn’t expect Zhang Shou to admit that not only were there other teachers, but there were many more!
However, after all, he was not a young boy like Fang Qing. He came to his senses after being stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Dr. Zhang is really a real person who doesn't show his face. In fact, compared to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Guangdong has more access to Southeast Asia and the West.
Convenience. Let’s not mention Nanyang, where the Tibetan kings are extremely ignorant. However, although Western countries are ignorant, they have many special theories, which are similar to what Zhang Xueshi is good at.”
"The ships that go out to sea often carry some Western monks who are similar to the Tianzhu monks in the past. They know a lot of strange things. Sometimes, there are also many people who hope to seek wealth in the East. And the fleets of the wealthy Guangdong families
They will also bring some books. Among them, a tribe of the Song family in Guangdong directly makes boats their home. There are even rumors that they also do business without capital..."
Zhang Shou couldn't help but think deeply when he heard that Chief Yue Shan was just chatting, talking about various families in Guangdong, mixed with some theories or books from the West. In other words, Song Juren's family might have
