Prime Minister

Chapter 101 Acquaintances
The infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak!
When Zhang Yue Guolin climbed to the top of the mountain, he felt that the so-called fairy cave was just a small cave.

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin said: "This fairy cave is nothing more than that, but fortunately, the scenery on the top of the mountain is very good."

"Actually, studying for my generation is like climbing a mountain. Every time I climb a mountain, the scenery is different, so the vision is also different.

Guo Lindao: "Young brother, there is no deep meaning in what you say. The Immortal Cave is just like the fame we have achieved, but why do you want to study and climb the mountain to see the Immortal Cave? It's just a different view from the bottom of the mountain."

"Exactly. Brother, we are all on board."

"It's too early to tell."

"Then you might as well take a look at the view."

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin looked side by side.

There was a cold wind blowing in all directions on the mountain peak, blowing the shirts of the two of them flying, but the two of them didn't feel the cold at all, and talked and laughed heartily.

After seeing the scenery, the two walked down the mountain all the way.

At this time, the rumbling bell was ringing.

The previous students had already gathered in one place.

One of them, several students congratulated him.

Zhang Yue listened for a few words and knew that this person was No. 1 in the Jinshi Division who was recommended to Bianjing Guozijian this time.

But the man said: "You guys, don't praise me. When I was young, I was conceited for a while, and I thought that getting the first place in Kejia was just an easy thing to do. Who knows that if you don't get the first time in the first test, and the first time, you will succeed. I have been ineffective twice, and now I realize that I am just a person with no hope. I wasted to the age of [-], and I was promoted to the Imperial Academy. I failed the expectations of the teachers and classmates. That's all."

Zhang Yue choked half to death with this person's words as dull as Versailles literature.

"Then you don't have to go!" Zhang Yue complained silently in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the other party seems to have heard Zhang Yue's heartfelt voice: "Everyone thinks that I don't want to solve the exam step by step, I will pass the exam, pass the palace exam, and win the third prize, the number one scholar and the first place, instead of going to the Imperial Academy?"

"But my Fujian road solution test is as difficult as climbing the sky. There is still a hard fight in the test. I am just a cowardly and brave person, so I took this shortcut. Please don't laugh at me."

The people on the side said: "Brother Huang, don't worry, the Guozijian also has supervisors, and you can win three yuan all the way."

"The difficulty here is not general."

After listening to this person, Zhang Yue said in his heart, awesome, I remember you.

Zhang Yue walked aside calmly, but saw that He Qi had returned to normal.

He said to his acquaintances: "Yesterday on the court, I clearly touched Li Xuezheng with my words, but for some reason I was still admitted to the state school. It really shouldn't be like this."

Left and right were relieved.

One person said: "It's okay, Taixue needs a hundred days of listening and reading to solve the exam. No matter what, I can't catch up with this subject. It won't be too late for Brother He to be recommended to the state for the next subject."

Zhang Yue walked into the crowd, but saw a student who happened to step forward and asked, "May I ask if Xiongtai is Zhang Yue, a Confucian student from Pucheng County?"

Zhang Yue turned his head, but the few people who saw this person were not the schoolmaster who refused to tell him his name yesterday?
The corner of Zhang Yue's mouth twitched slightly and said with a smile: "Indeed."

Both left and right smiled and said, "It's really Zhang Sanlang."

"I was rude yesterday."

Zhang Yue looked around, paced for a while, then rolled up his sleeves and cupped his hands and said: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk, I'm about to get close to you all."

Everyone said: "That's right."

While talking, Li Xuezheng, Assistant Professor Sun and others have arrived.

All the students bowed their hands together.

Li Xuezheng said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be too polite. Tonight, the state school will host a banquet for you. If you have anything to say, you may wish to speak freely."

When Li Xuezheng came, many students joined the discussion.

When it was Zhang Yue and Guo Lin's turn, they both stepped forward and said, "Student Xie Xuezheng recommends it!"

Li Xuezheng said with a smile to Zhang Yue: "Sanlang's various subjects are the first in this prefecture. There is no doubt that it is expected to recommend you. Are you planning to use the Nine Classics in the future?"

Zhang Yue said: "Exactly."

Li Xuezheng said: "Since the founding of the country by the ancestor of art, the north has suffered from wars and turmoil many times. Therefore, the south's literary and political power was at its peak at one time, while the northern scholars learned the scriptures. The first-rate talents in the south all study literature, and the next ones learn the scriptures. As for the north, the first-rate talents understand the scriptures." There are all Jinshi."

Zhang Yue listened and said: "Xuezheng, teaching assistant, teach the students to remember."

Li Xuezheng said: "Although your Mingjing is good in this state, it is because more talents in this state go to study it, but it is not easy to be called Mingjing after entering the Imperial College. But I look at your three policy questions, it is good. It’s remarkable, it doesn’t look like it was written by a classic student. Tell me the truth, can someone write it for you?”

Assistant Professor Sun laughed and said: "Cewen is just a review of your literary theory. Now that you have been recommended to the Imperial Academy, you may as well tell Xuezheng the truth."

Zhang Yuedao: "Reporting to Xuezheng, the teaching assistant, the student's policy questions were written by myself, but after the manuscript was finished, Mr. Boyi was invited to correct the number."

Li Xuezheng and Assistant Teacher Sun laughed and said, "No wonder."

Li Xuezheng said: "If this is the case, we can know that your literary theory is very good. After entering the Imperial College in the future, it is not impossible to transfer from a student to a Jinshi."

Zhang Yue listened to his heart, could it be possible that the Guozijian can change majors?
Sun Zhujiao said: "The way of writing, poetry and prose is the way of writing. The way of exegesis of classics and righteousness is quality.

Zhang Yuexin said, this is the meaning of encouraging himself to study both classics and essays, as well as arts and sciences.

"Thank you Xuezheng, the teaching assistant for your tireless teaching! Students should pass the Imperial College entrance examination first."

Li Xuezheng appreciated it and said: "This is a solemn statement."

Zhang Yue could feel that Li Xuezheng and Assistant Professor Sun's words were from the bottom of his heart.

Then the two said something to Guo Lin, and Guo Lin's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't be more moved.

These words are good wishes to both of them!
Just like a young eagle spreading its wings and about to fight the sky, the female eagle combs its feathers with its beak.

If successful, the young eagle will be gone forever.

At this time, an academic officer rushed up the mountain and said a few words to another academic officer in front of him, and this academic officer came to Li Xuezheng and said a few words.

But Zhang Yue heard the other party vaguely say something like 'this is the end of the state's general judgment, please learn to welcome it'.

Not long after, Li Xuezheng hurried down the mountain from the middle of the mountain with a group of school officials.

Then Li Xuezheng and a group of people walked up the mountain slowly, surrounded by an official like stars holding the moon.

Zhang Yue knew that this person was the general judge of the state.

Among the states in the Song Dynasty, Zhizhou and Tongju were the most powerful.

But who is more powerful than Zhizhou and Tongju?It's hard to say, Zhizhou and Tongsan have their own teams. It seems that Zhizhou is the governor of a state, but Tongsan is neither the deputy second nor the official. In fact, they can sit on an equal footing.

Li Xuezheng said: "This is the general judge of this state, please wait and see quickly."

Of course all the students knew what kind of high official Tong San was, so they all bowed and saluted together.

The general judge smiled slightly: "I saw you today, and I know that I am really talented in Jianzhou."

All the students present are the favored ones of heaven, and there is no such thing as the kind of bones that are lightened after hearing a compliment from an official in later generations.Everyone thought it was right.

The power of officials is part of the imperial power.

Li Xuezheng first introduced to the judge the student surnamed Huang who was recommended to the Imperial Academy.Huang Tongpan smiled and said a few words.

After the student surnamed Huang, it was Zhang Yue's turn.

Li Xuezheng introduced Zhang Yue to the judge in a low voice.

The judge took a look at Zhang Yue and couldn't help but smile face to face: "Sure enough, you're really handsome and good-looking!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yue also sighed sincerely, why the other party didn't praise his talents and learning, but his appearance.This clearly captured the point!It's no wonder that the other party can become the number two person in Yizhou. With this emotional intelligence, this vision of knowing people in thousands, in the future, he will be appointed as a marquis and prime minister, and he will be a first-rank official in just around the corner.

Zhang Yue was 'flattered' and said: "Thank you for your praise."

Then Tongsan gave a few words of encouragement to the students recommended to Bianjing and Nanjing Guozijian.

In the end, the judge said to the students: "To promote virtuous persons for the country, to practice rites and music to promote morality, this is the meaning of the establishment of the Yongpan Palace by the country. It is also the meaning of the court to encourage you to sharpen your knowledge and study hard. Wang Yuyu, It is the use of great remonstrance, the virtues of ancient and modern times..."

The judge talked for a long time.

All the students present were listening, but Zhang Yue felt that it was meaningless. The leader said a bunch of clichés, could there be some practical benefits?

In the end, the judge said: "...the West is restless, and the military states of the imperial court are also in short supply. Now you are about to go to Beijing, and you are entrusted by Xuezheng. No matter how difficult it is to sustain the state, you should allocate some money and food... ..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue was refreshed.

The judge looked at Xuezheng and said: "I'm discussing, each person will be paid five guan, and then two soldiers will be assigned to listen on the road. This will be distributed by the states and counties."

Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard the words, no, it finally paid off.

All the students are thankful, this is a lot of sincerity.

After the judge left, the teaching assistant of Xuezheng issued the official documents certifying that the state school had gone to the Imperial College for all the students, and then held a banquet in the county school to entertain them.

In this banquet, Li Xuezheng was at the same table with all the officials.

Several quasi-Guozijian students who were about to take the exam in Beijing sat at the same table.

He Qi and the rest of the students who didn't pass the exam sat at the same table.

Zhang Yue took the initiative to get close to a scholar surnamed Huang who was admitted to Bianjing Jinshizhai.

This person's surname is Huang and his name is Haoyi. When he heard Zhang Yue's name, he smiled slightly and said, "I have heard the name of Mr. Zhang Sanlang for a long time. It can be said that I have admired him for a long time. It is a coincidence that you and I are also relatives."

Zhang Yue was taken aback, what kind of relative is this.

Hearing what Huang Haoyi said, Zhang Yue just understood.

It turns out that Huang Xianyi's background is really extraordinary. He is also from Pucheng, one of the four powerful families in the county.

His uncle is the famous minister Huang Xiaoxian, and his cousin Huang Haoqian was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou.Huang Haoqian asked Zhang's family to marry him as soon as he was a Jinshi.Huang Haoqian married none other than Zhang Yu's daughter, who was also his second brother's sister.

Zhang Yue was a little embarrassed when he heard the words: "To be honest, my second brother and I..."

Huang Xianyi said: "Hey, I have heard the rumors in the public. But no matter what others say, my cousin admires the second brother Ling very much. He said that he has seen the best talents in the world in his life. There is no one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Zihou!"

Zhang Yue heard the words and smiled.

Huang Haoqian is indeed Zhang Dun's brother-in-law, his son in history, that is, Zhang Dun's nephew Huang Zai.It was because of being implicated by Zhang Dun that he was exiled to the island by Cai Jing.

Speaking of this, Huang Haoyi said with emotion: "Compared with Brother Ling and my cousin, I am really a fish and shrimp."
