Chapter 15 Walking to the Study Room

Sure enough, when Tang Bing returned to the mansion, he was not only promoted to Zuo Shuzi of Zhan Shifu Zuochunfang, but also got a very valuable errand to go to the study.

Except for the crown prince, the prince's teachers, regardless of their official positions, all have the title of walking in the study.

Not long after Tang Bing returned home, there was an endless stream of visiting guests.There are both fellow countrymen, the same year, and old friends.

As for Tang Bing, when he was the censor of Tixue, the selected students, regardless of whether they were officials or not, whether they were high or low, came to congratulate them with generous gifts.

Yuzhu wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, Tang Bingsheng forcefully kept him by his side.Every time a congratulatory guest comes, Tang Bing will push out the jade pillar and introduce it solemnly.

After a few days, Yuzhu was an eye-opener.To go on a business trip and be an academic officer, as long as the backing is strong and everyone has hope, you can pull up a team of students anytime, anywhere.

The master-student relationship between Yuzhu and Tang Bing cannot be concealed from others.Instead of hiding it and covering it up, it is better to let the flow go and make it public.

Tang Bing recommended Yuzhu to the old man, which is tantamount to telling everyone that his apprentice came from Tong's family and was Longkodo's most beloved son.

Conversely, Tang Bing's social circle is quite extensive, and those of his same age, fellow countrymen, and disciples all knew Yuzhu.

As the saying goes, the first time is raw, the second time is cooked, and the third time you can sit and eat flower wine together!
The relationship network is woven step by step while eating wine, discussing poetry, discussing current affairs, secretly engaging in transactions, and solving each other's problems.

Long Kedo has fully demonstrated his strong strength and let everyone know that Tang Bing's backer is the third master of the Tong family.

Tang Bing knew very well that if Yuzhu accidentally failed the ranking, Longkodo could promote him in an exceptional way, or deal with him ruthlessly.

Taking refuge in Longkodo caused Tang Bing's reputation to be seriously damaged in Hanchen.After all, Hanchen took refuge in the Bannerman, and it was not nice to say it.

However, Tang Bing had no regrets at all, instead he felt that he had chosen the right backer.

Tang Bing is not a wimp without real skills, but without a solid backer, no one is willing to promote him.

Before today, which important official of the Han people would look straight at him?
From being a fifth-rank official, I have survived for almost ten years, but I haven't made a single step.If he doesn't find a strong backer, Tang Bing, who is already in his early forties, will completely ruin his life.

"You are not as weak as the crown, and you have no words for the time being, which is fine. It's just that when I teach the princes, I must use both Manchu and Mongolian. Hehe, fortunately, I have been sitting on the bench all these years, and I haven't wasted my life. I have been studying Manchu and Mongolian by myself. Otherwise, on the day I go to the study, the emperor will not be able to come down for the examination." Tang Bing said sincerely, "If you want to be in the South Study, you must be proficient in Manchu and Mongolian. Even if it is Tibetan, it must be dabbled in.”

"When I first started learning Manchu, I had a headache, and then I thought about a trick in private, which is very useful, and I will pass it on to you today." Tang Bing took out a piece of paper from his cuff and handed it to Yuzhu.

Yuzhu took it over, looked at it calmly, and almost laughed out loud, his teacher was indeed a clever and excellent test taker.

On the paper, every Manchu word corresponds to a Chinese character.That's all, what's more important is that Tang Bing actually pronounced it in Chinese and annotated the Manchu script.

For example, Tang Bing's pinyin for the word "grandmother" in Manchu is "Mamo".This kind of phonetic notation may seem vulgar, but it is quite practical.

"When I learn Manchu, I first learn spoken language. I often use [-] sentences in Manchu, and I can recite them by heart. There are complete records in the study room. I will ask the book boy to bring them to you later." Tang Bing couldn't help but slightly smile.

Yuzhu also laughed, and Tang Bing's careful thinking really made Longkodo guess.

Longkodo once said that Tang Bing was a typical Han civil servant, with more minds than anyone else.Even if he has already taken refuge in Longkodo, Tang Bing will definitely keep his hand in secret. It is impossible to teach Yuzhu the true skills of forming cliques and being an official.

Thinking about it in another way, if Yuzhu was in Tang Bing's position, he would also leave a dark hand behind.For useless people, who will promote and reuse you?

In order to improve the level of Manchurian, the language master specially invited by Longkodo was not excessively requested by Yuzhu: as long as the master and apprentice are together, no matter what time, they cannot speak Chinese.

More than half a year has passed in a flash. Due to the very suitable language environment, Yuzhu's level of Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan has been able to answer the questions fluently without any obstacles.

Yuzhu was tired of writing, so he practiced Manchurian and Tibetan with his master.Today, he not only speaks fluently, but also fully understands articles in Manchurian, Mongolian and Tibetan.

In the 44th year of Kangxi, in the second month of the lunar calendar in the Yiyou year, the Shuntianfu Court Examination came as scheduled.

Although Tang Bing was a Hanchen, he had served as the censor of Shuntian Prefecture who presided over the Banner Academy Examination.With the guidance and checks of Tang Bing, a super industry insider, and with Longkodo's monstrous power, it was easy to find the official document under Manchuria Xianghuang's banner in advance as a guarantee.

"The current Tixue censor of Shuntian Prefecture is named Zhang Bin, and he is from Xinzheng, Henan. This Zhang Tixue neither studies with me, nor is I the same age, and he is not from the same town. Although, the old man is with him The Hanlin Academy works together, but in the past, there was no personal relationship. That is to say, this Zhang Tixue has nothing to do with the old man, you just take the exam." Tang Bing made enough preparations in advance, stroked his beard and said with a smile, " You must keep in mind every word the old man says next, and you must not be negligent."

There are too many unexpected variables in the matter of the imperial examination. Who dares to say that he will win before the time of the ranking?
Tang Bing was also worried that Yuzhu's carelessness would cause him to stumble and cause a tragedy of failing in the hospital examination, which would severely offend Long Keduo.

"Yes." Yuzhu's spirit lifted suddenly, he knew that the real insider news had come.

"Tang Wu, tell the servants to step down." Tang Bing stared at Tang Wu, the chief steward who had followed him for many years, and ordered lightly.

But Tang Wu knew in his heart that the servants who dared to eavesdrop on the master's words were all taken down and killed, thrown into a random grave outside the city, and fed to the wild dogs.

After clearing the room thoroughly, Tang Bing deliberately lowered his voice and said, "It is said that this Zhang Tixue has a weird temper, and he is especially harsh on the children of wealthy families. Even though banner people have to copy the test papers with anonymous names, I will I'm worried, your ranking is not very good. I also heard that this Zhang Tixue is especially fond of the third concubine."

Even if it is a mutually beneficial transaction, Yu Zhu must appreciate Tang Bing's words to such an extent.

"Master, the students are just as pragmatic as you, and don't care about the rankings, let alone the so-called vain reputation, as long as they can be on the list." Yu Zhu understood Tang Bing's thoughts, and added, "My father also thinks this way. "

Tang Bing was greatly relieved.With Yuzhu's current level, as long as he doesn't suffer from sudden illness and finishes writing the papers, he can definitely pass the entrance examination.He was worried that Yuzhu's ranking was not good, which annoyed Longkodo.

Yuzhu had already known in his heart that in the county examination, government examination and hospital examination, the more powerful and powerful the son was, the less the examiner dared to give too good a ranking.

After all, the examiners are also afraid that the scholars who fail the rankings will get together and make trouble.

Two slaps are not enough to count the examiner who lost his head because of the fraud in the examination room.

"In addition, in the past, in the courtyard examination, there were always fools who didn't check before handing in the papers, and even forgot to write their names. What's more, they actually wrote my Taizu Gaodi as Taizu Gaohuangdi, and Sanqi became The second one must be dethroned."

Tang Bing paid great attention to the details, helped Yuzhu to dig out the places where mistakes were easy to make, and gave detailed instructions.
