Prime Minister

Chapter 100 Dangerous Peak
Jianyang.

At this time, in the state school, Assistant Professor Sun was in front of Li Xue.

Li Xuezheng read Zhang Yue's paper from beginning to end, and then picked up three Shi Ce and read it again.

Assistant Professor Sun said, "Do you still have concerns about studying upright?"

Li Xuezheng pointed to another bundle of papers and said, "Look, these are all the Chengwen submitted by the county, the state school. In terms of history, they are all talents in one county."

"But if they want to take the nine exams and eleven exams, I'm afraid it will be far worse."

Assistant Professor Sun thought for a while and said, "Then it is difficult to judge, but what I worry about is the three-character poem."

Li Xuezheng nodded and said: "The important thing is still here. If he is a Jinshi, everything is easy to say, but he is a student. No matter how good he is in the Jingyi test, he can't write such a poem."

Assistant Professor Sun said: "Only the first class is a jinshi, and the second class is a student. This chapter three is because of the poor family, so I went to the various subjects."

"In those days, Duke Ouyang was admitted to the jinshi examination, but because his family was poor and had no money to buy rhyme books, he ended up writing rhymes in the examination room, and he failed many times. Zhang Sanlang may also have no money to buy rhyme books, so he had to study various subjects at first. I understand the character of this child. Character is definitely not a deceiver."

Li Xuezheng said: "I am relieved to have you say that, too, why bother to care about seeking talents for the country."

"Regardless of whether there is such a concern or not, just based on the experience, Zhang Saburo can be called the first in this state in this public examination. I should recommend Zhang Saburo to go to the Imperial College for reasons of reason... But..."

"But why?" Assistant Professor Sun said, "Does Xuezheng have other concerns?"

Assistant Professor Sun also knows that now the trend of asking for entrustment is prevailing, and people with talents are not recommended.

After Fan Zhongyan presided over the Qingli New Deal, he appointed Hu Yuan, Shi Jie, and Sun Fu as three reform generals, reformed the academic style of Guozijian, and strictly assessed and supervised students' academic studies.

Since then, re-examinations will be conducted for students recommended by military states in the world.If there is a person who does not live up to the name, they will be sent back to their hometown immediately, and they will not be allowed to study in Taixue.

Since then, the local military state's bad wind of asking for entrustment has been curbed.

But even so, it cannot completely eliminate the request.Every year, there are still many children who have real talents and practical learning, but were born in poverty, and are screened out.

"But knowing the prefecture, there is a verdict..." Assistant Professor Sun speculated that what could make Li Xuezheng so embarrassed was only the pressure from the prefecture's prefecture and the verdict.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuezheng shook his head and said, "On the contrary, there are three people who privately sent me this chapter three."

"Oh? Which three?"

Li Xuezheng said: "You can only guess at most one of these three people, and you can't think of the other two anyway."

Assistant Teacher Sun said, "I guess there must be a letter from Zhang Boyi."

Li Xuezheng said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Boyi is one of the top Confucian scholars in the state. He has taught countless scholars. There are also many officials in the court who have worshipped him. Can you sell it!"

Assistant Professor Sun felt relieved when he heard the words, but Zhang Yue had such a character to recommend, so what was he worried about.

But Assistant Professor Sun is curious at the moment, who are the other two people who recommended Zhang Yue?

"Then who are the other two?"

Li Xuezheng said: "Master Wu Dalang, who is from the same hometown as Zhang San."

"That's the current prime minister's family!" Assistant Professor Sun was taken aback, "Zhang San is from the Zhang clan... I don't know, how can the Wu family like him?"

Li Xuezheng said: "Maybe it was Lord Wu Dalang's own intention. It is well known that although Lord Wu Dalang is not good at reading, he has a wide range of contacts. He and Zhang San go to school in Pucheng County, and he can recommend him. within reason."

"Wu Dalang-kun is also reasonable, but what about the third person?" Assistant Professor Sun asked.

Li Xuezheng said: "I never expected this person to be Chen Xiang (Chen Xiang), who is now convicting the minister of the Shangshu Temple!"

Assistant Professor Sun was a little surprised and said, "Chen Gu served as the county magistrate of Pucheng, set up a county school, and presided over the local area. But Zhang Saburo was still young at that time, how could Chen Gu know Zhang San?"

Li Xuezheng stroked his beard and said: "I don't know the reason for this, but I heard that Zhang Erlang, that is, Zhang Zihou, who dropped the list last year, is a high-ranking statement."

Assistant Professor Sun said, "That's true, but I heard in Pucheng that Zhang Zihou was not on good terms with his brother. After Zhang Erlang and Di, he didn't even send a letter from his family. How could he ask Cheng Gu to recommend his brother to the Imperial College?"

Li Xuezheng said: "This is also something I don't understand, but Chen Chengu's words in the letter are sincere, and he highly praises Saburo's talent. He is known to be a well-known person. If he doesn't know anything about Zhang San, how can he So recommended to me? Mostly it was suggested by Zhangjia Erlang."

Assistant Professor Sun laughed and said, "No matter what we say, it's hard for us to speculate at the moment, but something is easy, and it's not difficult to recommend someone to learn."

Li Xuezheng said: "I recommend talents for the country, but with the public heart, I want to recommend Zhang Saburo to enter the Taixue, because he is the first in the state of classics. If it spreads out because of the entrustment, you and I will have a bad reputation. Tired of his reputation."

"Then what does it mean to be righteous?" Assistant Professor Sun was a little worried.

Li Xuezheng said with a slight smile: "I know when the three of them replied to the letter, the recommendation was originally my own, and I couldn't ask for any request. It is considered that I have failed them."

Assistant Professor Sun laughed when he heard the words, then cupped his hands and said, "Xuezheng is the best!"

Li Xuezheng sighed, "But I'm a little hard to explain to Duke Chen and Wang Jiefu."

Assistant Professor Sun said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Whether it's a talent or not, it will be seen sooner or later. What is the depth of this child? Simply leave it to Duke Chen and Wang Jiefu to consider."

Li Xuezheng laughed and said, "Exactly."

That day, Zhang Yue, Guo Lin, and He Qi returned to Yu Shushang.

While speaking, He Qi saw that Yu Yunruo walked in slowly with a slight lotus step.

He Qi coughed lightly on purpose, and when Zhang Yue saw Yu Yunruo, he saw that she was wearing a bright crimson dress today.

At that time, Zhang Yue and Yu Shushang were talking at the counter.Seeing Yu Yunruo dressed up like this, the guys at the counter and the guests who came to the bookstore all stared straight in their eyes, looking like they couldn't let go.

Yu Yunruo ignored the gazes of others, but the three of Zhang Yue bowed and saluted, then brought out a plate of shortbread and said, "This is cooked by the slave family, please don't dislike it."

Zhang Yue nodded and took the cakes together with the two of them. It was really soft and delicious, and they praised them.

Yu Yunruo smiled and said nothing.

The next day, the three of Zhang Yue went to the state school.

In front of the Master's Hall, the same group of people from yesterday were still chatting.

When Zhang Yue and the three arrived, the group of chatter suddenly stopped.

Zhang Yue felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, but everyone's eyes were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Junior brother, why do they seem to be looking at you!"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "I don't understand either."

"Let's go to the list."

The three Zhang Yue climbed the steps, climbed the mountain for a while, and reached the Master Hall.At this moment, I saw a few academics brushing the wall with slurry, while a student was scrolling a list, which didn't seem to be posted yet.

Zhang Yue, Guo Lin, and He Qiyi stepped forward together and said, "Please let us have a look first."

The school official smiled and said, "Several officials wait a moment to read the list."

He Qidao: "At this moment, I am anxiously waiting, how can I wait? Please be accommodating."

The school official smiled and said, "Whether it's worth it, it's worth it, I don't know how many Gao surnames are?"

"Pucheng, why bother! Do you have my name?" He Qi couldn't help asking first.

The school official smiled and said, "I was recommended to study in the state."

He Bixing's expression was a little distorted, and he said straight: "This, how can it be? Really only go to the state school. Didn't Li Xuezheng appreciate my words yesterday?"

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin looked at each other.

"What about these two officials?"

"Senior brother, you should ask first!"

"Junior brother, you ask first, I'm a little scared!" Guo Lin smiled bitterly. He hadn't slept well last night. He woke up this morning and looked at the list in an uneasy mood, but he didn't dare to read it for a moment.

"Senior brother ask first!"

Guo Lin nodded and said a little nervously: "Pucheng, Guo Lin."

"Good teacher, this official knows that you have been recommended to Nanjing Guozijian."

Guo Lin stood still when he heard this.

"Nanjing Guozijian!" Zhang Yue couldn't help but read again with great joy, "But did you read it right?"

"How can I read it wrong? I filled this list with my own hands?"

Zhang Yue said: "Nanjing Guozijian is Yingtianfu Academy! That's where Fan Wenzheng has read and taught. Brother, you can go and study at Yingtianfu Academy."

Guo Lin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Yes, I don't dare to say that I'm sure. I'll go back to Wuxi first and tell my parents about it."

"What about this official?"

"I am Pucheng Zhangyue."

The academic was stunned when he heard the words, and repeated the question: "Are you Pucheng Zhangyue?"

"Exactly."

The academic official said with admiration on his face: "So you are Zhang Saburo, our prefectural school has heard of your reputation, this time you have passed the nine exams and eleven exams in the public examination, and you are recognized as the number one student in the state. The three policy questions are also well written, what list are you looking at, you have already been recommended by Xuezheng."

"Where do you recommend going?"

"Of course it is Taixue! Your reputation has already spread."

"Really?" Zhang Yue sighed, finally he could enter Beijing.

At this time, I heard He Bixing suddenly: "What nonsense, why should I be on the list, I want to see the list!"

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin looked at each other and were relatively speechless.

The wind blew the woods, Zhang Yue and Guo Lin strolled in the state school.After the original state school was burned, this Jianyang state school was rebuilt from a temple.

With the birds singing pine chirping on the top of the mountain, there is a quietness of the ancient temples.

Yesterday, they were busy answering Xuezheng's questions, and now they are rushing to hear the news. Neither of them noticed the scenery of Zhou Xue.

The school official Fangcai smiled at the two of them and said, "It's better to stroll around here before Xuezheng has time to greet you. There is an immortal cave on the top of the mountain, which can be regarded as a scenic spot in Jianyang. You might as well take a look."

The two walked and watched according to the words, and their moods had long been different.

Zhang Yue remembered the scene of watching Xianxia Ridge on the mountain with Guo Lin that day.

At this moment, although there are no chaotic clouds and pines on the mountain, there is a fairy cave, which is related to the scenery of the day and the state of mind at this moment.

Zhang Yue said while climbing the mountain.

Looking at Jinsong in the twilight, the chaotic clouds still fly calmly.Born a fairy cave, the infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak.
