Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 383 Entong Reinvention

  Bringing a little drunk, Fang Jifan returned home from the Guo family, and Fang Jifan was already fainted!

  Arrived in the dormitory, Fang Jifan found the bed and lay down. Deng Jian cautiously said: "Master is drunk?"

   "Get out!" Fang Jifan yelled, feeling the noise in his ears like flies.

   "Oh." Deng Jian was used to it, so he said again: "The little one is called Xiang'er to serve."

  Fang Jifan has already fallen asleep in a daze!

   In the next few days, Fang Jifan can no longer attend to Xishan Academy, and will have to take a strategy test three days later!

   This time riding and archery is considered to have passed the test, but he didn't know what the strategy test was about.

  Because...Although the history of the Ming Dynasty recorded this exam, it didn't write it down in detail, and they didn't even bother to record the exam questions. The Hanlin who wanted to come to the Museum of Literature and History felt that it was not important at all.

   But it doesn't matter, Fang Jifan originally planned to get away with it.

  Thus three days later, Fang Jifan set off to Beidaying in a happy mood.

   Here, all the young Wu Xun children are here!

  Obviously, the exams for warriors are much easier than those for scholars, and there are not so many rules.

   And there is hardly any creativity in this topic. Fang Jifan felt that his IQ was insulted at first glance.

  Levy...North Korea...

  Actually, Fang Jifan once guessed that the most popular thing in the current strategy is to conquer North Korea.

  The imperial court would not just use the topic of conquest of North Korea so precisely.

   But soon, he dismissed this idea, because he felt that the possibility was not high. Right now, conquering North Korea is a hot topic in the streets and alleys. Analyzing these, it can be said that it is clear and logical, and the foam is flying.

   At this time, there is such an exam question, isn't this mentally retarded?

   And it turns out that…

  Fang Jifan stared dumbfounded at the board of exam questions that hung up, and couldn't help shaking his head, thinking to himself, he must have been kicked by a donkey.

   After thinking about it carefully, Fang Jifan didn't waste any time, and wrote directly: "The conquest is not conscripted, and the Joseon Dynasty is a vassal. The enemy of the Ming Dynasty is not North Korea, but Li Long..."

  In my previous life, my buddy was a master at writing argumentative essays. He was able to write the central idea of ​​800 characters for the biggest thing. Compared with other martial arts, he should have a great advantage.

   An article was written in one go, Fang Jifan counted it, and he was amazed, it happened to be 800 words. Sure enough, the composition did not fall.

   After the exam, he simply left. He is a little scared now, for fear of being intercepted. The rich and powerful in Ming Dynasty are so shameless, and they can get along with you in any friendship.

  Just after leaving Peking University, there was already a familiar figure standing outside, obviously waiting for him!

  It turned out to be Zhu Houzhao with a look of great interest!

  Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan, and immediately said, "Finished the exam?"

"finish exam."

   "Let's go to Xishan." Zhu Houzhao seemed in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "I'm here just waiting for you to go with me. The students are very excited. I want to thank you, the master, for your kindness."

  Fang Jifan said subconsciously: "Actually, I didn't do anything, and their literary and martial arts are nothing."

  Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth and said, "Of course, they are all taught by me. To teach them riding and archery, I have spent so much effort."

  The two of you talk to each other, and I talk to each other. When we reach Xishan, the sun has already set.

  Zhu Houzhao regards this place as the second East Palace, even if he stays here, the palace will not bother.

  As soon as Fang Jifan arrived, all the students came. They just came down from the dam today. After eating, they were about to prepare for evening classes. Everyone was out of breath and hungry.

  This kind of labor is too much to sharpen one's will. After a day, I am so tired that I want to die.

  Thinking that it’s time for dinner, I feel the pleasure of being named on the gold list, and thinking that after eating, I can still sit in the Minglun Hall and listen to the lectures of the gentlemen, and my heart is full of joy. Reading can really make people happy.

  They are in school now, and their physical exertion is too great, so their appetites are very good, and they can eat anything, whether it is mashed potatoes, pork, or wild vegetables, they can eat whatever they grab, and wipe their mouths after eating!

  Thus, this long-term labor, not only did not crush their bodies, but each of them was very strong, powerful, and his eyes were electric.

Good physical strength has great benefits. For example, riding and shooting, the reason why they can improve so fast has a lot to do with raising horses and having good physical strength. They can do it on the horse for five or six hours, and they can also do it. Time and time again, the bow is fully drawn with the strength of the arm.

Although Fang Jifan made the best use of them to build this beautiful West Mountain, but once it was night, when the class started, the psychotherapy began, and it was nothing more than talking about applying what he had learned. Countless people's blood boiled with excitement.

   Several other gentlemen taught stereotyped essays and asked them to practice again and again. They felt that they had made great progress. People who have made progress will have hope, and those who have hope will be able to bear the suffering of the moment.

  Yesterday, a horse-shooting game made them shine, and His Majesty ordered them to serve them. What an honor it is. Although most of them are the children of officials, they also know that this alone is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

  Scholars all over the world buy Confucian shirts and scarves by themselves, but only here, Confucian shirts and scarves are bestowed by the palace.

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the dean of the academy. As long as he gets a good reputation in the future, with the status of a student of Xishan Academy, Xin Xinbo's disciple, and Wang Shouren's student, he still needs to spend his time managing the officialdom?

  It feels great to have a head start.

  When everyone arrived in front of Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, they bowed down sincerely and said: "I have seen Your Highness, I have seen Master."

Don't look at the hardships, but now they have experienced a wave of strong brainwashing, especially in a relatively closed environment like Xishan Academy. In this academy, there are distinct levels, and the academic rules are more powerful than military law. What Fang Jifan wants them to be exposed to is everything Fang Jifan wants them to be exposed to, so when they think of His Royal Highness teaching them, and then think of their teachers and mentors educating them to become talents, many people feel their noses sore! After saluting solemnly, what came to my heart spontaneously was gratitude for the rebirth of Entong.

  Zhu Houzhao blushed with excitement, and wanted to say something.

   But Fang Jifan said with a stern face: "After learning a little riding and archery, don't think that you are great. This is such a big skill, it's still too early."

"yes…"

  Everyone nodded and bowed again.

  Zhu Houzhao felt that Fang Jifan was a bit harsh, and it was inevitable that he would feel slanderous. He thought about it for a long time, and said, "Old Fang, I think of something."

"What?"

   "It seems that since I met you, my father has become more and more harsh on me. I didn't understand the reason before, but now I suddenly feel..."

"Your Highness..." Fang Jifan interrupted Zhu Houzhao immediately, and said with a serious face: "Your Highness must not have such thoughts, His Majesty's thoughts are unfathomable, how can His Highness guess? Well, Your Highness, it's time to eat, and I killed you today." A pig is killing porpoise again."

  Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up immediately, he swallowed, and put everything behind him: "I am... hungry."

  …………

   A copy of the strategy article was sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

  Zhang Mao, Ma Wensheng, and Chen Sheng, the **** of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, looked at the mountain of examination papers.

  Ma Wensheng's spirit was not very good. His Majesty gave the Governor's Office of the Five Armies the right to seize salaries, fine them, depose, and expel the pro-military and Beijing camps. This caused the Ministry of War to suffer heavy losses.

  The so-called right to oust and remove names is equivalent to giving nearly half of the duties of the "meritorious examination" to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!

  The reason why the Ministry of War is above the Dudufu of the Five Armies is that the Ministry of War has a merit examination department. The so-called merit examination department is to rate all military officers. If they do well, they will be promoted; if they do not do well, they will be punished.

   Therefore, regardless of the high rank and prominent status of the Five Armies Commander’s Mansion, the people in office are all famous princes of the Ming Dynasty, but when it cannot decide the promotion and dismissal of military officers, it will naturally have to stand aside.

  Now, although the Ministry of War can still decide the promotion of a military officer by virtue of the merit examination department, the power to dismiss and punish is equal to being divided into two, and it is given to the five armies.

   Ma Wensheng felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.

  So today, he was ordered to review the papers with Zhang Mao together with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the eunuch, the imperial horse supervisor, and he was in a rather irritable mood.

  So it is time to mark the papers, so it is inevitable that you will appear absent-minded.

   After all, for his level, most of these answer sheets are extremely rough, and there are many papers with crooked handwriting.

   While watching, a paper caught his attention.

  The levy means not to levy, the Joseon Dynasty is a vassal, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is not North Korea, but Li Long...

  This point of view is quite new.

good!

   But next, it's a little embarrassing.

  The article began to scold, why the ruling and opposition parties were talking about conquest of North Korea, the Great Ming crusade, and Li Long, who was obviously a disobedient minister, but linked Li Long with North Korea, which was a huge strategic mistake.

   Ma Wensheng frowned slightly. This article is too aggressive. This is a paper written by a kid, and he has too much temper.

  However, even if it is a strategy test, it still borrows from the imperial examination and has a vague name, so...

Ma Wensheng continued to look down, and his complexion became even worse. Then this kid actually thought that since the target was Li Long, the court didn't need to go to war, and didn't need money or food. It only needed to send an envoy to bring the fleeing clan and scholars into the court. In the name of slandering the people and conquering disobedient ministers, Li Long seems to be covering the sky in his country with one hand, but he is just a giant with mud feet.

  Seeing this, Ma Wensheng took a deep breath.

  This kid...has a big tone.

   Arrogant so far, why do you look like Fang Jifan's tone?
