The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 59 After hearing about the confrontation

Uncle Ning knew that the method mentioned by his father had probably been agreed in the cabinet, so he couldn't help but ask for advice in a gentle voice: "My son, please teach me."

"Hehe." Ning Gong smiled and stroked his beard, nodded and agreed.

At this moment, the breeze was gradually blowing, and his slender beard swayed with the wind, making his clean and elegant face even more refined.

"My son, which one do you want to hear first?"

Uncle Ning's heart moved: "Of course it's the best policy."

Ning Gong smiled, dipped his fingers in the tea, and slowly wrote two characters on the table.

After confirming that the eldest son saw clearly, he poured the teacup on the table.

In an instant, clarified tea water poured down from the table like a waterfall.

Duke Ning picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, stood up and waved to the eldest son: "Let's go, father and son are going fishing on the boat."

When Uncle Ning heard his father's call, he was still thinking about the two characters that had disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

It wasn't until he sat firmly on the boat with a fishing rod in his hand that he calmed down: "Imperial grandson?"

Ning Gong put the bait on the fishhook, listened to the eldest son talking to himself, and couldn't help shaking his fingers: "You just know it, don't tell it."

Uncle Ning nodded quickly, and said in his heart that today and the prince are people with firm ideas, if they are told that the courtiers have made up the emperor's grandson's idea, there may be troubles, they will quickly turn it over and not mention it.

"As for the middle strategy!" Listening to the eldest son's question, Ning Gong cast the fishing line away with a smile, put on a bamboo hat, held a fishing rod in his hand and looked at the sparkling water on the lake, and said in a slow voice, "Naturally, following the wishes of the Holy Majesty, step by step Improve the Guozijian Women's School."

Uncle Ning noticed the "step by step" in his father's words, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that there is something else in it?"

Ning Gong nodded to him approvingly: "The Imperial College opened a girls' school, since it starts from a primary school, how many people can be eliminated by this step!"

"It's not right." Uncle Ning frowned subconsciously, "How can His Majesty allow such a situation?"

Ning Gong looked at him with deep eyes: "Who said that eliminating them means keeping them out of the school?

Some people are good at arithmetic, some are good at martial arts, and some are good at talent.

Aren't piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red housekeepers, and even foreign languages ​​all options?

Even for learning, there are hundreds of schools of thought to choose from. "

"Isn't this differentiation?" Uncle Ning rubbed his fingers, "From childhood to elementary school, as long as they are specially trained during this period, I am afraid that most girls will not be willing to choose serious classes."

Ning Gong smiled: "The Holy One will definitely not allow this possibility, so after the elementary school, all the girls will definitely enter the school class. After entering the school class, they will be eligible to take the children's examination. If they pass the children's examination, they will be considered official. Open the road to the imperial examination."

When Uncle Ning heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Girls learn different things and directions, so what if they have the qualifications? There are no famous teachers on the road to the imperial examination, no perseverance, and what's more, they don't have the heart to learn... probably, It's going to sink into the sand and smash the halberd."

Duke Ning's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, it's up to the king to make decisions, but it's up to the ministers to make things happen; children are not determined, so they can learn as the teacher teaches them... If women think it fits the Lord, they must abide by it." Rules, even the king can't force it."

"But women in the world, there are always those with great perseverance. It doesn't need to be many. Three or five of Da Chu Heshan are enough to set a precedent and lead countless followers to follow."

"Son, do you know that if it wasn't for the fact that your two younger brothers are not good enough to reassure their father, they are not knowledgeable enough, and they can get fame early?"

Uncle Ning's heart trembled when he heard the words: "Father, son..."

"Of course you passed the exam by yourself." Mr. Ning knew the eldest son's temper, and quickly spoke to comfort him.

Of course, what he said was not bad, but the rankings were probably adjusted.

Uncle Ning's face was not very good-looking: "Father, could it be that the adults in the court are ready for the exam?"

Duke Ning was not very satisfied with his son's loftiness, and his face turned pale: "The imperial examinations have always been to select talents, and the examiners naturally look at talent. Regardless of male or female, candidates are naturally admitted based on their talents. If they are rejected, they can only say It is lack of knowledge and lack of knowledge.”

"Father, if the princes of the court play the imperial examinations, there may be residual diseases left behind. At that time, not only the female candidates will suffer! If the imperial examination scandal breaks out, who can bear the anger of the emperor?"

Uncle Ning was worried, and shook his head again and again painstakingly to remonstrate: "Furthermore, Your Majesty intends to help the women's imperial examinations in the world. If the women's official positions are allocated according to the ability, what will happen then?"

Duke Ning's unhappiness dissipated immediately after hearing this.

He laughed loudly, and looked over approvingly: "My son can have such foresight, I can rest assured for my father!"

Uncle Ning was praised inexplicably, and the anger that was suffocating in his heart was still stuck in his chest, and he was a little depressed.

He bowed his head and said nothing, but Ninggong thought he was modest and didn't care. He put down the fishing rod that had been motionless all this time, and slowly stood up to look into the distance: "That's the worst policy for my father."

Uncle Ning also stood up, supported his father, and looked into the distance.

"If it is really unstoppable, then it must be time to follow the trend." Ning Gong sighed lightly, with an indelible deepness in his brows and eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Since there must be a woman in the court , then it’s time for us to fight.”

"Us?" Uncle Ning didn't expect his father's bottom line to be so flexible, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Seeing him like this, Duke Ning smiled instead: "Yes, it's us! In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is impossible for the rich and powerful families to grasp all the official positions in the court, and there will always be ordinary people from poor families who are admitted, although some of them have changed their minds and forgotten their origins. , but there will still be people who will point their swords at the aristocratic family, instead of doing this, it is better to leave those seats vacant and leave them to the wealthy girls of the aristocratic family."

Uncle Ning's fingers trembled when he heard it: "The resources of girls from a wealthy family are not comparable to those of poor families. If it is an imperial examination...the future is too far away to know, but the examination rooms of the previous sessions must be their world."

Ning Gong nodded slowly: "If it really comes to this point, it's not necessarily bad. Colleagues with the same interests are reassuring."

At this point, he suddenly felt bored, and waved his hand to the eldest son: "Go ashore too, and be quiet for the father."

Uncle Ning immediately bowed his head and said yes.

When he entered his yard, he saw his wife He hurriedly greeted him with a worried face:
"Husband, you are back! My wife went to An Guogong's mansion in the morning to meet my aunt, and my aunt took someone to pick up Brother Yu back to the mansion.

Somehow, there was a stalemate with the third master of Sheng Guogong's mansion in Qianjiejinghelou. I heard that Brother Yu was also there! "

Hearing He's words, Uncle Ning's heart skipped a beat.

He beat his hands with his fists and was angry and anxious: "The An family holds a lot of weight in Your Majesty's heart. An Yu is a child of the An family, and Concubine An is the son of an aunt, so even if you attack these majesties, you will not get angry with their family;
That Sheng Xiangxun is the queen's nephew, and the queen likes it very much. His majesty will not care about him even if he is against the prince and queen.

But if this confrontation becomes serious, our Ning family will fall into His Majesty's eyes as the instigators! "

Thinking of the very special behavior style of the third master of the Sheng family, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Uncle Ning's head, and he couldn't stand anymore: "No, I have to see it for myself!"

No matter what, he will drag his aunt back!
