Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 567 Outstanding Achievements

   Liu Jian's words... make people a little confused.

  Xishan Academy High School, this is naturally a big event, but for Liu Jian, it is not the point, but the point is that his son has won the Huiyuan.

   You must know that this Huiyuan only comes out once every three years. With this Huiyuan, after the palace examination, it is bound to be ranked first. Maybe the Liu family can also produce a champion.

  Liu Jian is a steady person, so he tried his best to restrain the excitement in his heart, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart no matter what.

  Emperor Hongzhi was delighted after hearing this: "Liu Jie...is he so competitive this time?"

  Liu Jiandao: "Your Majesty, this time, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. If the dog didn't study in Xishan Academy, I'm afraid..."

   He shook his head.

   This sentence is really not modest, but from the heart.

   How can he not know how much his son weighs? According to Liu Jie's mediocre aptitude, he may have had extravagant expectations of Liu Jie at the beginning, but since he entered Xishan Academy, everything has changed.

Liu Jian took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is really thanks to the dean of the academy, His Highness the Crown Prince, as well as Fang Jifan, the dog's teacher, Wang Shouren, his teacher, and the stereotyped lecturers Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chenren. must."

  Emperor Hongzhi became silent for a while.

  Xishan Academy.

   Dominating the list...

   This is indeed eye-catching, but it is tantamount to leaving people with nowhere to go.

  The reason why Xie Qian said it was strange, presumably because of this!

  The purpose of stereotyped essays is to select scholars, so that all the elites in the world will learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and enter the imperial examination by virtue of the Four Books and Five Classics!

   But now, an academy in Xishan occupies the top of the imperial examination list, and all 15 people have passed, so what about the next subject, is there still a chance?

   This imperial examination was taken advantage of, and Emperor Hongzhi had to think that it must be Fang Jifan who somehow thought of something! Then when it comes to the next subject, how many scholars will Xishan Academy take the exam, and how many people will be included in the list? After that, how can I get a scholar through the imperial examination?

  Do not give hope to scholars, this is not giving people a way to survive.

  But...Liu Jian is right...

  Emperor Hongzhi has been thinking about one question these days, that is, his time is running out. If he dies, will the prince be able to take on the country entrusted to him by his ancestors?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the people in the warm pavilion. These people were his own ministers, and he had placed great trust in them. In the future, they will definitely become the old ministers who assist the prince, but... these alone are enough up?

Obviously not enough, but Xishan Academy, this trip has won fifteen Jinshi, plus the previous six, these twenty-one young heroes, the future Qingliu, the most precious people, they met the prince , also need to be honored as a great master!

   That is to say, their fate does not come from their master, a certain fellow of their country, they have shared weal and woe with the prince since they entered the court, they...

  If the future prince conquers the great rule, they will be disciples of the emperor...

  Thinking about it this way, this...Xishan Academy is indeed...good.

   All of a sudden, Emperor Hongzhi felt that all the problems he had been worrying about had been swept away.

  Fifteen tribute students, and soon Jinshi, are all disciples of the prince. If he dies, he can rest assured.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "The professors of Xishan Academy have made meritorious service, and ordered to build a stone workshop and engrave a stele on it..."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said: "There are as many as fifteen tribute students in Kexishan Academy today, but the imperial court chooses talents in no particular order. Xie Qing's family is among the unaccepted Among the scholars, add fifteen more to the roster of tribute students this time, and give them the same birth as tribute students."

  Regarding Emperor Hongzhi's sudden decision, Xie Qian was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant.

  The original intention of the imperial court is to rely on the imperial examination to recruit the world's talents. Now that Xishan Academy dominates the rankings, what can you do? Abolish the imperial examination? The imperial examination cannot be abolished, even if it is beaten to death.

  Change the rules of the imperial examination?

   This is even more ridiculous, because people have to change the rules because there are too many people in the exam, so what is the fairness of the imperial examination? Without fairness, the imperial examinations exist in name only.

   Thoroughly investigate Xishan Academy?

   Just kidding, his grades are famous all over the world, just because he did well in the exam, you go to check him?

  You must know that His Royal Highness is the dean of this academy. Obviously, the center of Ming's reserves has begun to shift!

In the past, the crown prince's power center was Zhan Shifu. In Zhan Shifu, the emperor would choose a group of capable young ministers to serve in Zhan Shifu, and these people would teach the prince knowledge, which is equivalent to the prince's teachers, lecturers and teachers. When the crown prince ascends the throne, these people can rise to the top and become the prince's humerus servants.

   Now, it is obvious that Zhan Shifu is almost abolished, and has no influence at all. From Zhan Shi to the most ordinary professor and lecturer, there is no way to influence the prince anymore.

  So in the future, who can be the prince's right-hand man?

   Obviously, it is in Xishan.

   It's just that the one who was by the prince's side in the past was the teacher, but now the one who is by the prince's side is the student.

  The imperial examination rules cannot be changed. After three years, Xishan Academy is bound to make a comeback. It will be even more terrifying in the future. God knows how many candidates will take the exam by then, so the court will always give other scholars a chance.

  So Emperor Hongzhi’s method was very simple. Fifteen additional students were recruited as tribute students. The imperial court would make additional admissions for as many as you passed in Xishan Academy. In this way, other scholars would not worry about being talented and not getting promoted.

The only shortcoming is that the reputation is not very good. After all, he is a Huiyuan, and he may be the number one in the future. Give him a Jinshi background.

   "Your Majesty, if it is a supplementary record, I will confer so many new officials in the future, I am afraid that at that time..." Although Xie Qian also thought it was very good to do so, he had to have some concerns.

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said: "Now there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. Daming wants to go to sea and promote new food extensively. I'm afraid it will require a lot of supplementary records for the required officials. It's okay."

  Since this is the case, Xie Qian has nothing to continue to object: "I obey the order!"

  Emperor Hongzhi heaved a sigh of relief. This Xishan Academy had inadvertently solved one of his worries.

  He only felt emotional in his heart, now that the crown prince has Xishan Academy as his team, I... If it really comes to the day when there is no way to recover, I think... I will die without regret.

  Liu Jian kept his face sullen for a long time. At this time, he really shouldn't be excited. Take a deep breath, don't worry, there is still the imperial examination.

  ………

  Xishan Academy is already bustling.

  The imperial court made a decree. In view of the achievements of Xishan Academy, it has cultivated many talents for the imperial court, so it built Shifang and Yimen, and wrote a letter of Xishan Academy's outstanding achievements.

  The Ministry of Industry came early, ready to start construction.

   Outside Xishan Academy, there were already colorful flags fluttering, and countless plaques hung out.

  The golden plaques of "No. 1 Scholar", "No. 2", "Tanhua", and "Jinshi Jidi" are hung on the courtyard wall of Xishan Academy.

These plaques are all the identities of Ouyang Zhi and others. In addition, the plaques of Xinke have recently been hung up, congratulations to Liu Jie's high school membership, and congratulations to the next eight disciples, all of which are on the wall. Gongsheng is among the best.

  The other six, although they are also tribute students, have only one line of small characters: "The other six are also among the tribute scholars, and their rankings are not obvious. All students should take this as a warning."

   "..."

  These six new Gongsheng students, looking at the four words of warning, want to cry.

  The six of us have lost our adults, they have become typical, and they are also typical of bad students, and they have also become the shame of Xishan Academy.

   Shame.

   Shame.

   But what can they say?

   It's my own problem.

  The level of professors in the academy is so high, if not high, how can my brothers and sisters occupy the top nine? Blame only blame myself for not being talented enough, blame myself for not working hard enough.

  Besides, there are still many vacancies on the high wall, which are for the future, the new champions, second places, Tanhua and Jinshi and the first in this subject.

  The whole wall is full of hangings. I am afraid that in the next department, another wall will be built to hang these plaques.

  In this era, if anyone’s home hangs a signboard of being a Jinshi and the first degree, it is really smoke from the ancestral grave. After this awesomeness has been boasted for a lifetime, even after the death of a Jinshi, this awesomeness can still be boasted to his great-great-grandson.

  Things are rare and expensive, but the opposite is...

  In this Xishan Academy, Jinshi and Gongsheng seem to be of little value.

After entering the academy, various banners began to be hung in the academy. On the banners were various framed plaques, which read: "Don't sweat today, beat until you bleed tomorrow."; or "To succeed, go crazy first, make up your mind Determined to move forward", "If you lose your name to Sun Shan, you might as well die!", "Learn new things, take stereotyped exams!"

  The words on these plaques are very vulgar, and such vulgar words are posted everywhere, especially in Minglun Hall, where they are hung everywhere.

  However, when people walk in, there is a feeling of surging, and the whole person's blood is boiling.

  The officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry who came to build the stone workshop were all dumbfounded when they came here. They were a little bit stunned. Is this how these fifteen tribute students were born?

What was even more frightening was that when they went to a warehouse, they found that the paper in the warehouse was piled up like a mountain. When they opened it, the bundles of paper were densely packed with articles. ?

   At this time, Fang Jifan was looking up at the plaques with his head up, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart...

  ...

  Today is the last day of this month. We can’t be too late. The monthly ticket list is too intense. I hope everyone will continue to support Tiger!
