Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1078 Rumors from Fujian and Zhejiang

Feeling that the life experience is meaningless, Gao Yushi is a very pragmatic person. In his previous life, he was most annoyed by reading chicken soup articles, so he quickly adjusted his thoughts and talked with three new students. down arrangement.

The examination room felt that although Gao Yushi was younger than the three students, he was indeed a senior, and the honor of the six first prizes was there, so he had enough qualifications to say this.

What's more, just the day before yesterday, when the three Xinke Scholars participated in the erection of the stele—the stele inscribed by Jinshi—they looked up at the white marble stele left by their master Entang through the ages. The poems on the stele were like gentle blades. One stroke of the pen engraved into the hearts of the three.

"The Legend of the Dragon and the Tiger sing the gold list, and the gathering of wind and cloud is the jade crown. For 200 years, the real leader, I am the literary song Luo Shudan."

Unparalleled grace, imperial pen book pill.

There is such a teacher, let alone Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe are excited, even Li Tingji, who obviously won the first prize but lost the first prize, has been regretting for the past few days. Excited a lot.

In fact, Li Tingji did not lose the No. [-] Scholar because of his lack of literary talent, because how to say the title of No. [-] Scholar... As I said before, some other factors may be considered when selecting, for example, to call on the majority of scholars to study hard, Scholars who are old, ugly, or otherwise in bad shape are usually not picked.

Li Tingji is ugly but not ugly. Although he has just passed his forties, he is not very old, but he is unlucky - the final champion Zhu Guozuo has three advantages compared to him.

First of all, Zhu Guozuo is young.He is only 25 years old this year, which meets the ideal standard of a young and talented scholar.

Secondly, Zhu Guozuo is handsome.This person is eight feet tall and has a dignified face. When Zhu Yijun saw him, he even felt that he was very similar to Gao Yushi, and his eyes immediately brightened. , if you only talk about being handsome, Zhu Guozuo is actually better.

Finally, Zhu Guozuo has a good name.Fortunately, the name is not very useful in normal times, but it really plays a role in the selection of the champion: Zhu, the country's surname is also!Guozuo... they are all called Guozuo. Of course, the emperor also hopes that the Ming Dynasty will "Guozuo will last forever".

So it doesn’t matter whether the article is recognized as the number one, anyway, Zhu Guozuo did well in the exam, even if it is a little bit higher, it is not a big problem, but Li Tingji, a late bloomer, is a real talent—his brother is the first in the township exam and will be able to take the exam. First, if you get the first place in the imperial examination, you will also be a master of Sanyuan and the first place.

But sometimes life is hard to be perfect, and Li Tingji has no choice but to sigh.

In fact, Li Tingji doesn’t need to listen to any anecdotes about scientific research, or even his experience, because he is the second place in the list, and he belongs to the “middle of the gods”.

However, Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe couldn’t be so relaxed. They had to listen to Gao Yu and tell them some experience in passing the library selection honestly, so as not to fail the library selection and not be able to embark on the most glorious path.

Li Tingji was actually a little curious. Although this Lord Entang is powerful, he himself was also a "celestial god" back then, and he had never participated in the museum examination. I don't know how he should guide Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe?
Unexpectedly, Gao Yushi's guidance was extremely simple, and his tone was light and authentic: "This year, your library test will be presided over by Chen Yuanzhong, the son of Mr. Chen Nanchong, the former minister of Jialong."

Li Tingji was taken aback for a moment, and Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe's eyes widened all of a sudden—the exam has not yet been taken, Mr. Entang, do you even know who the main examiner of the hall examination is?You know, the selection of the library is not Chunwei, and the examiner will not be "closed" first. In other words... In theory, you can even ask him what questions he will ask!

Of course, this is just a theory, because the more critical issue is that the chief examiner of the museum examination was temporarily appointed by the emperor the day before.

Gao Wushi looked at the three stunned disciples, and said calmly: "Don't be surprised, the emperor told me this personally."

"oh oh……"

The three of them were so shocked that they couldn't find words to respond.

Gao Wushi couldn't help laughing, and clapped his hands lightly, and then two servants came over with pineapple wooden trays, and there were some documents in the wooden trays.

The two table holders walked up to Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, and Gao Wushi said: "These are copies of Brother Yuan Zhong's manuscripts, including his past exercises, essays he took when he took the exam, and some of the essays he wrote when he was in the Imperial Academy. There are even some articles, expositions, etc. that he wrote when he gave lectures to the emperor. Just take a look, and you will probably know what kind of articles he will value."

"Thank you Entang, the students will read carefully and ponder carefully." Ye Xianggao reacted quickly, got up immediately, and bowed to Gao Yushi to thank him.

Fang Congzhe also stood up and bowed down: "The kindness is generous, the students are deeply grateful, and will definitely live up to the kindness."

Li Tingji originally thought that doing this seemed a little unruly, but when he turned his head, he turned a rare corner - if this matter is said to be unruly, wouldn't it be that the emperor was the first to disobey the rules?If I stand up and criticize Entang, wouldn't it be the same as accusing the emperor?No, no, no, this is not what a minister did, I can't do it...

While dealing with Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe with a smile, Gao Wushi saw Li Tingji's expression clearly from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help laughing: It seems that Li Tingji's illusions about Zhu Yijun are still very disillusioned Perhaps the performance of this "sage king" in recent years has made his image in Li Tingji's mind quite good.

But having said that, will Zhu Yijun, the "slack in politics" in history, appear again?Probably not.

Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe were shocked by Gao Yushi's move.

Why does the Shinke Jinshi want to worship Mr.?Isn't it because the husband can help himself improve?Look at the ability of our Lord Entang, this is really helping yourself to improve!

If he didn't leak the questions, the effect would be even worse; if he didn't give pointers, the effect would be even worse!
But Gao Wushi didn't seem to notice their excitement. Instead, he turned his head and said to Li Tingji: "Er Zhang (Li Tingji), after you entered the Imperial Academy as an editor, it took about half a year to a year. There may be some changes... At that time, you need to be prepared to be a book exhibitor."

What is a librarian?During the lecture on Jingyan Day, the official of the Hanlin Academy who was in charge of serving the imperial case and opening the books for the emperor was the exhibition official.

It seems that this official is as cheap as a bookboy.

But in fact, the book exhibition officer is really not cheap, so don't underestimate this position.

As I said before, the emperor's sutra banquet is a major event for the court, and officials who can participate in it, even the book exhibition officer who is only responsible for helping the emperor open books, are themselves a symbol of knowledge and status-even if those officials who are released It is a government official, or even a provincial governor, as long as he has not been an imperial official, he is not qualified to exhibit this book.

What's more, generally speaking, most of the Hanlin officials before becoming Japanese lecturers have to go through the transition of being a book exposition official. They are all called high pragmatism.

If you want to make it clearer, under normal circumstances, if you pass the three-year editorial exam, you will be able to become a book exhibitor if you have a good chance. If you have a bad chance... wait another three years.

As for what Gao Wushi said just now, it can be understood that Li Tingji will be able to work directly as a book exhibitor after entering the Imperial Academy for about half a year to a year—this corresponds to the time he will be a daily lecturer in the future, and also At least two years ahead.

Li Tingji is over [-] years old, so of course he does not lack literary talents. Although he is straightforward, he also knows that what he lacks now is actually the time to climb up.And now En Tang can save him two years with a single word, so if this is not called En Zhong, what is En Fang Zhong?

"Student...thank you Entang for your kindness."

Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe also looked envious after hearing this, and said in their hearts: This is the difference between "celestial gods" and "halfway cultivating immortals". I wonder when the two of us will be able to present books for the saints?

As soon as he thought this way, Gao Yushi turned his head and said to the two of them, "Don't worry, I will help you to arrange to stay in Hanlin and Zhan after the Shujishi leave the hall." As for whether you can participate in the Sutra Banquet at that time... Well, how about this, I will remind you for your gentlemen: get closer to your master Yulei, Mr. Yulei, Er Zhang, and you too."

Lord Yulei is Chen Yulei, also known as Chen Yubi.

Of course, Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, two top academics, are smart people. After seeing the close relationship between Entang and the emperor, how can they not understand the meaning behind these words?
Chen Yubi is about to be reused, and most of them are reused in the Hanlin Academy!

Even according to Entang's tone just now, he made a bold guess that Chen Yubi might be "in charge of the court affairs" in a short time, and it doesn't matter in what capacity he is "in charge of the court affairs".

The three of them received such important guidance, so they naturally thanked them again. Gao Yushi looked at the time and said with a smile: "It's not too coincidental for you to come today—of course I don't blame you for this—I'm a foreigner. I came back to Beijing to report on my work, so the time I can stay in Beijing is limited, and I have something to do with the Yunnan war, so the time is getting tighter, so I can only keep you for lunch today."

Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe hurriedly said respectfully, "Entang puts state affairs first, and is a model student." Li Tingji was not so tactful, and asked straightforwardly, "Is Entang going back to Liaodong? I have nothing to do, so I should bid farewell to you."

Gao Wushi laughed in his heart: You are already my student, if I really want to leave, I will of course notify you, what's the hurry?It's like urging me to leave.It seems that Li Tingji spent all his time studying in the past, and his ability to deal with common affairs may be limited... In the future, I have to find an opportunity to train and train him, so that he will not be a "miaozhuge old man" in the future.

"That's not true. I'm just short on time, but I don't want to leave right away." Gao Wushi shook his head slightly: "You are my students, so it's okay to tell you... This afternoon I made an appointment with Da Si Nong, Da Sima, Da Sikong, Chief Xian and Brother Yuan Zhong need to discuss the war in Yunnan."

In fact, Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao, and Fang Congzhe didn't know the relationship between Gao Yushi and the Yunnan war, but the few people he presented just now are very scary: Da Si Nong is the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Da Sima is The minister of the Ministry of War, Da Sikong is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the chief constitution is the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As for "Brother Yuan Zhong", it is a bit strange-brother Yuan Zhong is Chen Yubi, and Li Tingji does not know who Chen Yubi is. How could a senior academic official in the Hanlin get involved in the war in Yunnan.

It seems that we still have a lot to learn about major court affairs.

The three of them looked at each other, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, they could only thank Entang for telling each other.

Gao Wushi seemed to remember something again, and said, "By the way, I also greeted some former colleagues and colleagues from the same year at the Imperial Academy. After you go in, what they can take care of will naturally take care of you. You also have to be more polite, don't lose face as a teacher."

There is really nothing to say about this kindness, Li Tingji and the three felt that they only had one thing to say to be grateful for today.

Perhaps because of the busy work in the afternoon, the luncheon at Gao Yushi's residence was held quite early, so Li Tingji and other three disciples naturally accompanied his Entang to eat together.

During the dinner, the teachers and students didn't talk about "business" any more. Instead, they started talking about some anecdotes. Fuzhou Prefecture), there have been some bad rumors about Jinghua in the past six months..."

Gao Wushi was slightly taken aback, the smile on his face faded, and he asked, "About Jinghua? What legend?"

Ye Xianggao's face was a little heavy, and he said: "There are rumors among the people that Jinghua buys and sells people."

Gao Wushi was a little puzzled, and frowned: "What's going on, Jinghua only has two businesses in Fujian, sea trade and cement, and even the business of soap is represented by the government of Wei Guogong and the residence of Linhuaihou. How could this happen? Such absurd rumors?"

Ye Xianggao didn't answer immediately, instead he looked at Li Tingji and asked, "Brother Jiu (Li Tingji's No. Jiuwo) has heard of it in Jinjiang?"

Li Tingji nodded when he heard the words, and bluntly said to Gao Gao: "Entang, the students in Jinjiang have also heard about this matter, saying that Jinghua often buys people by counting two to ten taels of silver, and then sells them overseas. , up to tens of thousands of people every year... There are even rumors that the governor of Fujian is not the governor of Entang, I am afraid that someone will go to Beijing to sue the imperial court."

When Gao Wushi heard "tens of thousands of people every year", he suddenly realized, patted the table lightly, and said: "What kind of nonsense is this? Jinghua does recruit a lot of workers in Fujian, and it is indeed sent to the so-called 'overseas', but They were all sent to Taiwan—oh, your place should be called Hong Kong, why do you talk about buying and selling people?"

"Then will they still be able to come back to Daming?" Ye Xianggao and Li Tingji were in perfect harmony this time and asked in unison.

Gao Yushi was both angry and funny, and said, "Of course they can, but it's hard to say whether they will."

This is a bit weird, Li Tingji didn't understand it for a while, and he refused to ask easily, but Ye Xianggao reacted faster, and asked: "I don't know what Entang means by this? The students have heard that there are a lot of miasma in Hong Kong." , not only is it difficult for humans and animals to live, but there are also few places to open up fields, so how can there be such a strange thing as going and refusing to come back?"

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have to start from the beginning..." Immediately, he told the three students about the plan to develop Taiwan.

After listening to Gao Yushi's words, Li Tingji heaved a sigh of relief and said, "So that's the case, but the students are worrying too much."

Ye Xianggao looked serious, shook his head, frowned deeply, and said, "Entang, the students think this matter... there is something strange about it."

"Oh?" Gao Wushi's heart moved, and he had already guessed what Ye Xianggao meant, but he said, "How do you know that?"

"Fujian Governor Han Gong (Han Ji) is Senior Brother Entang. With him in Fujian, why is there still a lot of discussion among the people about the unfavorable talk about Jinghua?" Ye Xianggao said in a deep voice: "There is only one possibility, that It is this rumor that someone is secretly fueling the flames, the purpose is to damage Jinghua's reputation among the people in Fujian."

Gao Wushi was about to speak, but Fang Congzhe, who had not interrupted all this time, also made a sound. He coughed lightly and said, "Entang, this matter is probably not limited to Fujian, there are similar rumors in Zhejiang as well."

Gao Wushi glanced around at the three people with the same dignified expression, nodded, as if he was talking to them, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "It seems that I underestimated them..."
