Ming dynasty grand dude

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing and waved his hands to let Xiao Jing drive back to the palace.

Zhang Lun wanted to take his Japanese sword, but it was obviously impossible for the big bearded man who was as strong as a mountain to stare at him.

With a helpless sigh, he handed the knife to Butler Zhou to keep it away.

After Zhang Lun got out, he got on his horse and drove to the capital city with Emperor Hongzhi's chariot.

Xiao Jing drove the car with his own guards leading the way, without any obstacles along the way, he went directly through the inner and outer cities and entered the inner city from the palace gate.

At the gate of the palace, Zhang Lun's horse was handed over, and several old soldiers of the Zhang family who were not far from the gate of the palace watched in amazement that their young father-in-law drove into the palace with a car.

From the moment he entered the palace, Zhang Lun was arranged in a carriage by Emperor Hongzhi.

"Stupid tiger, didn't you say that you can be the prince's teacher?! I will arrange for the cabinet bachelor to test you."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Lun with a smile, and said, "If they recognize you, the crown prince will give you the master's ceremony."

"Let's take the exam!" Zhang Lun shrugged indifferently, and then leaned over and said, "But your majesty, there must be some rewards for passing the exam, right?!"

But Zhang Lun looked obedient, like a child asking for favors from an elder: "People say that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. You can't just send me away after you finish the exam!"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I won't lose a child to you!"

"If you can pass the exam, I will reward you myself!"

While talking, the car stopped, Xiao Jing who was driving set up a stool and pulled the curtain, Zhang Lun got out of the car first.

Then I looked curiously at the Forbidden City in the reign of Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty. Most of it didn't seem to be much different from the later ones.

A group of people entered the warm pavilion, and Emperor Hongzhi changed into a dragon robe and ordered Xiao Jing to get Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and Xie Qian.

Emperor Hongzhi changed into his dragon robe, and not long after he sat down on the throne, he saw three elders in red robes hurried over under the guidance of the young eunuch.

There were not many things in the early morning today, so it ended earlier.

Several court elders were dealing with affairs in the palace, but they didn't know that Emperor Hongzhi was moved and ran out for a walk.

Hearing the emperor's summons at this time, he naturally thought that something important had happened and came here in a hurry.

"The minister Li Dongyang (Liu Jian, Xie Qian) pays his respects to His Majesty..."

To call yourself in front of the emperor, you must call your own name.This is the principle of "the emperor's former minister's name".

It is also an important principle of the etiquette of appellation of monarchs and ministers. It says: first, ministers must use their names when referring to themselves in front of the emperor; second, when referring to other ministers in front of the emperor, they must also be called by their names.

"The three please stand up." Emperor Hongzhi smiled and raised his hand to ask Xiao Jing to give the three of them a seat, while Zhang Lun curled his lips.

I don't have a seat, why don't you let me sit!I am a child who is still growing up!

"The three of you are called here for a private matter of mine." Emperor Hongzhi pointed to Zhang Lun who was standing beside him.

"This is the Zhang Lun who received Ying Tianfu Tang Bohu as his apprentice from Jingshi Hongchuan."

As soon as this remark came out, the three academicians couldn't help but looked at Zhang Lun.Although when they first entered the door, they also saw Zhang Lun.

He even praised him from the bottom of his heart, but this handsome young man didn't know whose family he was.

At this time, when they heard that it was Zhang Lun, the three of them felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, they are all scholars, and what Zhang Lun did is a humiliation to the famous disciples to a certain extent.

"I originally wanted to call him to study with the prince, but Zhang Lun said that he could be the prince's teacher with his talents and learning."

Emperor Hongzhi blinked mischievously, and said, "I don't believe it, so please ask the three academicians to test him out."

Chapter 25 The Old Difficult Exam in Yuqian Pavilion, Qilin Er

Li Dongyang and the other three glanced at each other, unable to help crying or laughing.

The emperor summoned the three of them urgently to test a child.

If you pass the test and use the big to bully the small, if you don't pass the test, wouldn't you lose the face of the old man? !

"The three of you are all court elders, knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Naturally, the kid asked for advice first..."

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Zhang Lun glanced at Emperor Hongzhi's narrow smile and knew that it would be impossible for him not to speak.

But I saw Zhang Lun cupping his hands: "Boy, I ask for advice: a person came to the inn in the town, and he said that he would stay in the inn for three days and put silver and five coins..."

This is the question of "who lost the money" that many people in later generations are discussing. Zhang Lun deliberately brought it up to the three elders.

Zhang Lun really didn't believe it, they were able to answer: "...by noon, there were rats in the room. The customers were chased away, and the store refunded five cents."

"Boy, let's ask: Who is gaining and who is losing in this matter? Why is it gaining? Why is it losing? What is the allusion to the title?!"

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian were dumbfounded, and they were not afraid to ask the Four Books and Five Classics.They are not afraid to ask Daming Law, even if they ask about spells, they feel that they can handle it.

But how to solve this problem? !The three of them glanced at each other, and their minds turned quickly.

Emperor Hongzhi was also a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Zhang Lun to ask such a question.

So he turned to Xiao Jing and asked: "Xiao Banban, what do you think about this question?!"

"Return to Your Majesty, I really can't answer..."

Xiao Jing bowed and smiled wryly: "This question seems to be a loss for the guest staying in the hotel, but he got back five qian silver even without staying in the hotel. How can it be considered a loss?!"

"Ask me again: A and B quarreled and then fought. A hit B with a stick until B fell to the ground with blood on his face. A thought he was killed, so he chased him to report to the official."

Without waiting for the elders to give an answer, Zhang Lun clasped his hands and asked again: "However, B is not dead, and A woke up and went home by himself after leaving. But due to blood loss, his feet were weak, and he fell down the mountain halfway and died."

"The boy asked: In this case, what is A's responsibility? How should the sentence be judged? What are the evidences?"

The faces of the three elders turned black all of a sudden, this is a criminal law test!But where did this little bastard find such an example? It's so tricky and weird!

I'm still thinking about the previous question, and now I have another question.There was a little clue, but it was interrupted again.

"Ask again, boy..."

Seeing Zhang Lun cupping his hands, Li Dongyang quickly waved to him with a smile and weeping: "Young man, Your Majesty asked me to wait to test you."

Zhang Lun couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words, Jiang is really old and spicy!

The old guy knows that these questions must not be able to think of the answer in a short time, so he simply reversed the priority and asked them directly.

After all, Liu Jian and Xie Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't know what weird questions they would ask if they let this narrow-minded kid continue.

"Those who have no property but have perseverance..." When it comes to the question, Li Dongyang gave Zhang Lun a question without any stutter.

It’s just this question, Zhang Lun thinks it seems a little simple: “From the "Mencius King Hui of Liang [-]", those who have no permanent property but have perseverance, only scholars are capable, if they are people, they have no permanent property..."

Li Dongyang was a little surprised. Zhang Lun's answer was to tell the source of the sentence and the whole sentence first, and then give a neat abbreviated answer.

Although brief, it has already shown its foundation.Li Dongyang was a little helpless, since he had made a question, it was naturally not easy to make another question with Zhang Lun.

At this moment, Liu Jian raised his brows, stood up slowly and looked at Zhang Lun and said, "So a gentleman never forgets danger..."

"The sentence comes from "Book of Changes: The Second Book of Changes": Those who are in danger are those who secure their positions. Those who are dead are those who keep their lives. Those who are in chaos are those who have their own governance."

"That's why a gentleman is safe but never forgets danger, survives but never forgets death..."

Liu Jian heard that Zhang Lun was still calmly explaining the source first and then condensed and finished his answer, and nodded with a smile.

Since he was a child, he studied under Xue Wenqing, a master of Confucianism, and he naturally demanded that his studies should be clear and clear.

Now that Zhang Lun has answered it, even if he is a little unwilling, he will definitely not be picky and picky.

Now Li Dongyang and Liu Jian had finished asking, so they both looked at Xie Qian and pointed to him to ask a difficult question to save face.

Xie Qian smiled wryly, you two are cheating me!

Xie Qian hesitated for a while, but under Zhang Lun's blinking peach blossoms, he gritted his teeth and started to ask questions.

"In theory, a gentleman is neutral and unreliable!"

As soon as Xie Qian's words came out, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian couldn't help but raised their brows and looked at him in surprise.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know why, but Xiao Jing beside him was also an old man who had gone through several dynasties and read a lot!

So he went to Emperor Hongzhi and explained in a low voice that Mr. Xie Ge's question seemed to be talking about the doctrine of the mean, but in fact he was talking about forming a party for personal gain.

Li and Liu, the two great scholars in front of them, all wrote the scriptures.When he came to Mr. Xie Ge's place, he naturally came up with a theory.

"A gentleman is neutral and unreliable" is too deceptive, even if it is placed in the "discussion" of the Ministry of Rites Examination, it can definitely kill a lot of people.

Zhang Lun's face darkened when he heard this question!Knock inside?!A black-hearted and ruthless scholar, this statement is true!

Laozi is only 13 years old, thank you old man for giving me this kind of topic!Don't be sorry!

In fact, Lao Xie also regretted it, especially when he looked at Lao Li and Lao Liu.But Lao Xie also has troubles that he can't tell!

Mud horse, you two picked yourselves out.You also asked me to make a problem, and you two felt that I was embarrassing the child.

Let you do all the good people, and let me do all the bad people!

"The sentence comes from "The Book of Rites: The Doctrine of the Mean": Therefore, a gentleman is harmonious but not in a relationship, it is strong to be correct; neutral and not leaning, it is strong to be correct..."

Since Zhang Lun had seen through the mechanism, he naturally answered calmly.

Soon Zhang Lun finished answering this question, which really surprised Li Dongyang and the three of them.

If you have not read poetry and books and have your own understanding, you will definitely not be able to answer this question.

However, among the three, there is Li Dongyang, a 7-year-old boy who went to school to become famous, and a 17-year-old who won the first place in the top two.

There is also Xie Qian, who was able to fight against his grandfather at the age of seven, and who was the number one scholar at the age of 26.

Therefore, although Zhang Lun surprised them, he didn't think it was wrong.But when Zhang Lun really answered, the three of them were speechless.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongzhi could only helplessly break the silence: "Idiot Tiger, I already know that you are familiar with books, but I don't know how good your poems are?!"

"Your Majesty is also invited to come up with a question!" Zhang Lun was even happier when it came to writing poems.Back then, in order to show the connotation to female literary youths, I learned a lot!

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a while, then waved his hands and said, "Let's use bamboo as the theme!"

Zhang Lun smiled, Emperor Hongzhi was indeed a benevolent monarch.Bamboo is one of the four gentlemen.

Its praise is: lofty and tenacious festival, illusory heart.

What Emperor Hongzhi meant was to tell Zhang Lun not to care about the embarrassment made by the academicians.Of course, the main purpose was to excuse Xie Qian.

Chapter 26 I will scold you, shameless

"Boy, I have already got a piece of "Xinzhu", so let's present it to the imperial court!"

But Zhang Lun bowed to the end, then got up and chanted in the clear voice of the young man:

"The new bamboo is higher than the old bamboo branches,

It all depends on the support of the old cadres.

There will be new students next year,

Ten feet of dragons and grandchildren surround Fengchi. "

After reciting, he laughed and bowed before exiting the hall.But Xie Qian and the others turned green when they heard this poem.

Zhang Lun's "Xinzhu" came from Zheng Xie and Zheng Banqiao in the Qing Dynasty. It originally meant that a new generation is better than the old, but the old people still need to support them.

Only when one generation supports the next can there be talented people from generation to generation.

The so-called "Dragon Sun" is another name for bamboo shoots. In Song Dynasty Xin Qiji's "Man Jianghong·Ignition Cherry" has a sentence "Spring is just right, see the dragon sun pierced through, purple moss and green jade".

And "Fengchi" is the abbreviation of Fenghuangchi, which is another name for Prime Minister's Mansion or Zhongshu Province.

This sentence was mentioned in Liu Yong's "Wang Hai Tide" in the Song Dynasty, which said, "If you look at the good scene in the future, go back to Fengchi to praise it."

Zhang Lun's use of this poem here is not a good thing, it is equivalent to pointing at the noses of the three elders and cursing.

This roughly means: I’m just a kid, only 13 years old!The three of you, elders of the Great Scholars Pavilion, are not human beings by relying on the old and bullying the young by blocking me out of problems!

If I get into your position one day, I will definitely not bully the younger generation like you shameless old bastards.

Although Zhang Lun was talking about these scholars of the Ming Dynasty, it would be inappropriate for them to turn a corner when they fart.

But he himself was inevitably affected, and the specific manifestation of this is that he is cursing people now and cursing around corners...

"This idiot..." Emperor Hongzhi couldn't laugh or cry, how could this child be so angry!He dares to open up when he disagrees with him, and his temper is too stinky.

Emperor Hongzhi also learned from childhood, how could he not hear Zhang Lun's irony? !

But this benevolent emperor is really embarrassed, after all, he is the instigator of this matter!The three great scholars were all found by him.

But he sighed and took off the hollow warm jade double pan dragon pendant around his waist, and handed it to Xiao Jingdao beside him.
