The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 298 Is there room for decline? (Seek full order)

After Liu Jinyuan finished reciting Yan's family instructions.

Both Zhang Jiuling and Bai Gui were slightly surprised.

There are more than [-] words in Yan's family motto, which is quite a lot. Being able to recite Yan's family motto completely shows that Liu Jinyuan is talented and intelligent.

Since Zhang Jiuling wanted to teach Liu Jinyuan, he would not praise him too much, but after a sentence of encouragement, he asked a few small questions in the Confucian classics to explain the words and sentences.

Liu Jinyuan answered calmly one by one.

It's just that as the questions became more and more difficult, some of them began to be unable to answer.

"Your son is very talented, but rarely intelligent."

"Teach for another year or two, and participate in the Children's and Mingjing subjects... Maybe there will be gains."

Zhang Jiuling thought about his choice of words and said.

He didn't dare to say that Liu Jinyuan would definitely win the fame, so he could only say so ambiguously.If it is said that he will definitely win, then he will be blamed if he fails.But he used vague words, he would still thank him as a teacher after winning, and he would not blame him more if he failed.

"Liu Yan of the Tang Dynasty, Fang was seven years old. Raise a child prodigy to make orthographic characters."——"San Zi Jing"

In ancient times, child prodigies were very popular, and prodigies were very popular from top to bottom.In the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, the boy's department was set as the regular department.The difference between regular subjects and system subjects is that regular subjects are imperial examinations that will be taken once in a certain period of time, while system subjects are offered when the emperor wants to select talents, and system subjects may be held every few decades.

In the sixth year of Xianqing, Yang Jiong, one of the Four Great Masters of the early Tang Dynasty, entered the Children's Department and was awarded the title of Xiaoshulang.

"For children under the age of ten, if they can master one classic, "The Classic of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius", if they recite ten volumes, they will be awarded officials; if they have mastered seven, they will be born." - "New Tang Book"

This sentence means that those who can recite ten articles in the child's department will be awarded official positions, and those who can recite seven articles will be awarded family background.

"Zi Shou is right."

"Jin Yuan is talented and intelligent, and it's not hard to come by in the boy's department, but I want him to continue studying hard at home, to sharpen his temper, and when the time comes, he can go to the Jinshi department, which is better..."

Liu Youqiu, who was dressed in a purple robe, strode into the living room and said with a smile.

"Meet Liu Xiang."

"Meet Liu Xiang."

Bai Gui and Zhang Jiuling stood up to salute.

When Liu Youqiu returned to the Liu Mansion, the atmosphere was suddenly suppressed a lot.

Not as easy as before.

"Liu Xiang is right. It's really not a good place to get an official position too early in the Children's Department."

"If you can get into the Jinshi department, try your best to get into the Jinshi department..."

Zhang Jiuling replied.

A big boss who can pass the Jinshi exam is not necessarily much worse than a child prodigy who was a teenager in the Tongzi department.It's just that both have their own advantages. It is undoubtedly easier to take the entrance examination for children than the Jinshi section. When you grow up, it will be more difficult to take the Jinshi section.But in the same way, most of the children in the boy's department are teenagers under the age of ten, and sometimes they will not be awarded an official. Even if they are awarded an official, there is not much benefit for people from the boy's department to enter the officialdom early.

It just depends on how to choose between the two.

The Liu family obviously intends for Liu Jinyuan to take a safer path.

The boy who passed the examination may not necessarily develop better than the Jinshi in the Jinshi department.

It may not be a good thing for the boy to become an official sooner.

"Zishou, Meihe, this is the teacher's gift for applying for the job, you accept it, and I will send someone to your residence later."

"As for teaching Jin Yuan..."

"Since you two are applying for the job together, then it's enough to set aside three days for teaching each month. Jin Yuan also has Mr. Xixi, the two of you are here to give him advice..."

Liu Youqiu pondered for a while, then said.

"The officer understands this matter."

Bai Gui and Zhang Jiuling replied respectively.

Bai Gui originally planned not to take up this errand, but he heard Liu Youqiu said that he would come three times a month, so it was just a matter of passing by, and it would not take too much effort to agree to it. Anyway, it is impossible to guide Liu Jinyuan for too long a day , in real conversion, it means that the guidance is less than half a day in a month.

But don't underestimate the three pointers this month.

Those who can become the number one scholar and the best candidate must have great opinions in the imperial examination.This little thing is worth tens of thousands of gold, and most people can't buy it even if they want to.

As for Liu Youqiu himself, Bai Gui still knows a little bit. Liu Youqiu passed the legal department in the system examination during the Wu Zhou period, was ordered to be a county lieutenant, and climbed up step by step.

Liu Youqiu was not from the Jinshi Department.

Although there was no unspoken rule in the Tang Dynasty that those who did not enter the Imperial Academy could not enter the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, the title of Baiyi Qingxiang from the Jinshi Department was not called for nothing. People from the Jinshi Department had more opportunities than officials from other departments.

Liu Youqiu asked Liu Jinyuan to give Bai Gui and Zhang Jiuling the gift of apprenticeship.

There are many items in the apprentice ceremony, and they are all very expensive.

Roughly worth around three or four hundred guan.

In the Liu Mansion, the two impromptu taught Liu Jinyuan some knowledge.

Wait until it gets darker.

Come out from the Liu Mansion.

Bai Gui and Zhang Jiuling bid farewell to each other and rode away.

Arrived at Jinxian Temple.

The female officer invited Bai Gui to meet Princess Jinxian in the back court.

"Brother Bai..."

"This time, you and I left Shengyefang before the dawn drum beat, which is considered a crime of the night. An imperial envoy went to impeach my father..."

"Tell me and you..."

Princess Jinxian pursed her vermilion lips, feeling a little embarrassed, "It is said that you and I share the same phoenix chariot, which is indecent and ruins the reputation of the royal family. Father scolded me, and then..."

When Bai Gui heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Ruin the reputation of the royal family?

Li Tang's royal reputation and the reputation of the princess, this...is there still room for decline? !
Ever since Princess Gaoyang let Fang Yiai, the captain-in-law, guard the door, and she fell in love with Tang Xuanzang's disciple, Monk Bianji, Li Tang's reputation as a royal princess had been trampled on countless times.

Now Princess Taiping's pets have long been countless. During Wu Zhou, she occasionally gave Wu Zetian a few...

"What did the saint say?"

Bai Gui sighed.

Now Tang Ruizong Li Dan did not send troops to arrest him, it seems that this matter is not irreversible.If it was in other dynasties, he would not dare to share a phoenix chariot with the princess, but who would have thought that things that were commonplace in the Tang Dynasty would make trouble for him.

This is a gray area.

You can trouble him, but don't trouble him.

It was completely in Tang Ruizong's thought.

However, according to Bai Gui's guess, this was just Tang Ruizong Li Dan's secret plan to use this as an excuse to coerce him to "voluntarily" marry Princess Jinxian as his wife and become the captain's son-in-law.

Although he said he has a wife, in this world, there is really no marriage contract. His parents died early in the Xiagui Bai family, and it was his elder brother Baihuang who took care of him. .

With his double champion status and his face like a crown of jade, it can be said that the entire Chang'an dignitaries are eyeing him and want to recruit him as their son-in-law.It's just that everyone saw that the emperor intended to recruit him as the captain's son-in-law, so they suppressed their thoughts and dared not compete with the emperor for his son-in-law.
