lied to Kangxi

Chapter 77
The second round, the official document examination with a fixed format, is not too difficult for ordinary scholars, let alone Yuzhu?
However, after the third round of current affairs policy exam questions were distributed, there were bursts of air-conditioning sounds in the exam room.

After Yuzhu read the exam questions, he couldn't help but smile slightly, everything was under control.

How should I put it, in this era of small-scale peasant economy, there are at most a hundred types of so-called current affairs policy theory.Except for river workers, border troubles, or horse administration, etc., it is impossible to play big new tricks.

Yu Zhu had already typed up various drafts. After carefully reviewing the questions, he took a pen in his hand and finished them all in one go.

In the three-day exam, the third round was the most troublesome, but it was Yuzhu's best.

There is no way, high talent is a big advantage, hehe.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yu Zhu was the first to hand in the paper for the third day in a row, and she stole the limelight.

High-profile exams, low-key life, and trying not to offend any of his classmates have always been the basic principles of Yuzhu's life.

After the three-day exam, several people gathered here at Yuzhu, and everyone unanimously demanded that mutton must be boiled to reward their aggrieved stomachs.

Here in Yuzhu, there is nothing else, there is not only a lot of food, but also eclectic, with a little bit of all kinds of dishes from the north and the south.

Originally, Yu Hongtu, who had an affair with Yuzhu, had figured it out, or what, but unexpectedly came with Zhang Tinglu and the others.

The people who came were all guests, and Yu Zhu was naturally very welcome. Brother Lin kept shouting when Yu Hongtu was still as affectionate as before.

Seeing Yuzhu's free and easy performance, Zhang Tinglu couldn't help but nodded secretly. She is only 15 years old, and she has such a heart.

Yu Hongtu thought he would be ridiculed, but he was already mentally prepared.Unexpectedly, Yuzhu still treated him as before, as affectionate as a brother.

In this cannibalistic society, the most important thing is: be a human being before doing things. Even if you can't do well, you can't even try to do things well!

Knowing everything in the world is knowledge, human experience is writing, what you say is great!

Hu Fenghui is a guy who is more capable than Yuzhu. With his presence at the banquet, the atmosphere suddenly became more lively by more than three times?
Yuzhu looked at Hu Fenghui who made up a short joke to make everyone laugh, and couldn't help smiling slightly. Zhao Donghe was a fine person, but he was quite similar to Hu Fenghui.

Five days later, the results of the monthly exam came out.Zhang Tinglu No.1, Yu Hongtu No.2, even Wu Sidao got No.18.

What is surprising is that Yuzhu actually only got the bottom No.5 in the exam.

According to the old rules of the academy, No.1 counts down, and he is directly demoted to Class B.The bottom two to five will each subsidize the academy with 100 taels of silver.

It’s okay if you don’t pay, please leave the academy as you please.

Cough, Yuzhu thought, the punishment is real money, the most painful thing.

This Jiuhua Academy is called a resort to help scholars obtain fame.In fact, there are ruthless tricks to make money everywhere.

"How did this happen?" Zhang Tinglu really cared about Yuzhu's ranking. Based on his understanding of Yuzhu's level, no matter what, it's impossible for him to be fifth from the bottom, right?
Wu Sidao sneered and said, "Mr. Qin probably thought that Yuzhu handed in the paper too early, so he did it on purpose, right?"

Yu Hongtu thought about it carefully, and said, "I'm afraid the academy is short of money, right?"

Yu Zhu knew what was going on in his heart.However, he deliberately pretended to understand, pretended to be confused, and said nothing.

From the first year of Shunzhi to the 44th year of Kangxi today, the Qing Dynasty has been established for more than one Jiazi.

However, the current overall social atmosphere is still very subtle.

In Sijiu City, the Bannerman looked down on Han Chen, and the Bannerman had the upper hand.

On the Jiangnan side, it happened to be reversed.Except for the children of officials and eunuchs who have already entered the Qing Dynasty, the folk Jiangnan students generally look down on the Bannermen.

If a bannerman is allowed to rank among the best in the monthly test, the first thing everyone thinks is that Jiuhua Academy wants to flatter the bannerman.

In this way, how can Jiuhua Academy expand its enrollment for scholars in the south of the Yangtze River in the future?
If Jiuhua Academy wants to continue to develop and grow, it cannot do without the strong support of Jiangnan Shilin.

Under the realistic pressure of public opinion and the pressure of students, even if Yuzhu has real skills, the monthly examination of the academy can only wrong him.

Yu Zhu secretly sighed in his heart.In the past, he couldn't understand why Kangxi wanted to make a big fortune in the south of the Yangtze River, which is rich in wealth.Now, after putting himself in the situation, he suddenly understood.

Among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, public opinion is generally unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty!
In fact, this kind of folk public opinion atmosphere, Yuzhu is completely understandable.

Ten days in Yangzhou, one day in Jiangning, one day in Xuzhou, two days in Zhenjiang, one day each in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Although most of the bad things were done by the original Ming army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, this account can still be counted on the head of the Qing Dynasty.

The army of the Tartar Qing had done so many bad things. How could the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, who controlled the public opinion in the south, have a good opinion of the Tartar Qing?

Qingfeng is illiterate, why bother flipping through books?
Dai Mingshi's "Nanshan Collection" case, in fact, stems from a not-so-beautiful misunderstanding.

The No. 48 examination in Kangxi's 1th year, that is, Huiyuan, was Dai Mingshi.

At that time, scholars generally believed that Dai Mingshi became the number one scholar in the current discipline for granted.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhaoxiong, the son of Zhao Shenqiao, the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, became the No. [-] scholar in the palace examination.

Since the number one scholar was beyond everyone's expectations, Jiangnan Shilin couldn't help talking about it, thinking that it was the result of secret manipulation by Zhao Shenqiao, a high-ranking scholar.

In all fairness, Zhao Shenqiao had nothing to do with the matter of pro-son being the No. [-] pick.

According to the practice of the palace examination, after the examiners list the top ten papers, Kangxi will almost always make changes to varying degrees.

The disciples of the emperor, the kindness comes from above, must be arbitrarily judged by Gan Gang.

For example, the name of No.1 in Yijia is not pleasant, and the pavilion of No.3 is not eye-catching, which may be the reason why Kangxi dislikes it.

Moreover, according to the rules of avoiding suspicion in scientific examinations, Zhao Shenqiao cannot be one of the examiners in the palace examination if his own son takes part in the palace examination.

But public opinion can kill.

Zhao Shenqiao's bullying statement was publicly exposed and posted all over the streets and alleys in Sijiu City, causing a huge disturbance.

Zhao Shenqiao, who was originally an upright official with excellent personal integrity, instantly stinks the street.

Later, Zhao Shenqiao used the "Nanshan Collection" to frame Dai Mingshi, but in fact he wanted to use Kangxi's hand to avenge his hatred!
Who is Kangxi?He saw through Zhao Shenqiao's crooked intentions of killing people with a knife at a glance.

It just so happened that Jiangnan Shilin had never been of one mind with Daqing, so Kangxi followed suit and expanded the scope of his attack, taking advantage of the situation to kill a large number of Jiangnan Shilin leaders.

Now, Yuzhu's monthly exam is fifth to last, which happens to be a concrete manifestation of Jiangnan Shilin's dislike of bannermen.

"No, I'll go to Master Qin to reason." Wu Sidao started to leave, but was stopped by Yu Zhu raising his hand.

Wu Sidao slept in all day long, and he got No. 18 in the exam. Yuzhu, who was more than five times more diligent than him, actually became the bottom No. 5. This is simply unbearable.

Yu Zhu said with a smile: "I took the Shuntian Prefecture Examination, not the Jiangnan Provincial Examination. I don't care about the monthly exam results of the academy."

Zhang Tinglu could understand Yuzhu's subtitles, as long as she learned the true skills of Zhongju and Zhongjinshi, there was no need to worry about the academy's monthly exam rankings.

Don't look at Zhang Tinglu's father, Zhang Ying, who was once a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and a minister of the Ministry of Rites.Because he was an official in the Qing court, among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, he never belonged to the leader of the scholars who took the lead.

In this sense, even though Zhang Tinglu was not a bannerman, she was still secretly excluded by Jiangnan scholars.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Tinglu is willing to make friends with Yuzhu.

Hu Fenghui was thinking in his heart, how much benefit could he get if he helped Yu Zhu vent his anger?
It is completely unreasonable to ask only the position and not right and wrong.

Yuzhu didn't intend to go to Qin Benchu ​​to argue, it would be useless to argue, it is better not to argue.

The academy dared to decide the ranking like this, obviously it was not afraid of Yuzhu making trouble.There was only one result, Yuzhu was kicked out.
