Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 167: palace test



Chapter 167 Palace Examination

  Wang Hua was stunned for a moment, and looked up. At this time, Wang Shouren was still sitting there, staring at these four words in a daze.

  Union of knowledge and action...

  What does this mean?

  Wang Hua began to search what he had learned in his life, trying to find any related policy topics from these four words.

  He pondered for a long time, then coughed.

  Wang Shouren, whose eyes were reddened, realized something at this moment, raised his head slightly, and faced Wang Hua with bloodshot eyes, which made Wang Hua feel a little pain in his heart.

   "Reviewing homework?" Wang Hua squeezed out some smiles.

"no."

   Obviously, Wang Shouren is not good at lying.

  Wang Hua\'s expression became a little frozen, and his breathing became short of breath. Tomorrow...

  Tomorrow is the palace exam, isn\'t it... What does this mean?

  Fortunately, the number one scholar is the number one scholar. After all, he is a Shao Zhan with a high reputation in the court today. Wang Hua only took a breath, and smiled again on his face: "Then, what is the meaning of the unity of knowledge and action?"

"My son still only half understands, so these days, my son is also pondering and scrutinizing." Wang Shouren said seriously: "However, these four characters were given by Mr. Fang of Nanhe Bofu. The more my son ponders, the more It is because I feel that what these four characters contain is not just a simple truth, and I am really afraid to think about it. Confucius and Master Cheng Zhu, although they are reasonable, but my son thinks that they..."

  Wang Hua was trembling.

  It’s reversed, this is…

  Even a saint dares to criticize!

  The inheritance of the Wang family\'s poems and books relies on the Four Books and Five Classics, which are rewarded by Confucius, Mencius, Cheng Zhu, and other sages. You...you are so deviant at such a young age.

  Dare to love these days, you are locked in the study all day long, you are not reviewing your homework at all, you are all thinking about the four words "unity of knowledge and action".

  Wang Hua\'s face was sallow with anger, and his eyes were as bright red as blood.

  Seeing that his father was angry, Wang Shouren simply kept silent and did not continue.

  But he is a stubborn person. Once he has an idea in his mind, he will not be able to pull back even nine cows.

  So his bloodshot eyes flashed with clear eyes, and he looked at his father.

  Hoo...

  Wang Hua decided not to beat up this prodigal bastard. After all, he is the number one scholar, so he must cultivate himself and convince others with virtue.

Wang Hua tried his best to use a calm tone and said: "In ancient times, those who wanted to show their virtues to the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first regulated their families; Those who want to correct their minds should first be sincere in their minds; those who want to be sincere in their minds should first extend their knowledge, and the extension of knowledge is in the investigation of things. After investigating things, you can know them, and when you know them, you should be sincere. , the heart is upright and then the body is cultivated, the body is cultivated and then the family is in order, the family is in order and then the country is governed, the country is governed and then the world is peaceful..."

He continued speaking very quickly: "Thus, there are investigations, extensions of knowledge, righteousness, sincerity, self-cultivation, family alignment, state governance, and world peace! Then, now, your future is in front of you, and tomorrow\'s palace exam is about you Your fate is more related to your desire to govern the country and the world, don\'t you care about these?"

  Wang Shouren\'s face was stiff, as if he was thinking.

  In fact, he is thinking all the time. Thinking is divided into people. For example, for an ordinary person, this is called blind thinking, but for a great thinker in history, this is called thinking.

  Of course, Wang Shouren is not a great thinker yet, so naturally, he is thinking blindly now.

After pondering for a while, Wang Shouren raised his eyes, his eyes became more determined, and he said calmly: "Father, he studied things to know, and it proved to be wrong. My son Zeng Gezhu, after three days of testing, there was no reason at all. The son once Going to the farmland on Mount Geshe also yielded nothing."

   "You...you..." Wang Hua was so angry that his beard trembled wildly this time, and a raging fire ignited in his chest.

   "However... for the palace examination, my son is very confident." Wang Shouren smiled, looking quite proud.

   Almost couldn\'t bring it up in one breath, but after hearing this sentence, Wang Hua\'s face finally eased a little: "Huh?"

Wang Shouren said indifferently: "Fang Jifan\'s disciples, if you talk about stereotypes, your son is not as good as them. You can talk about it. They... are not good enough. Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen are too rigid in their thinking. Xu Jing However, Tang Yin is extremely talented, but unfortunately... he comes from a family of merchants, so he may not be able to accomplish anything in terms of strategy and theory."

  This is really not modest at all.

  Wang Hua was a little annoyed. In fact, he thought so too, but... the way of life for many years told him to be humble.

  He glared at Wang Shouren and said, "So, do you think you can still be the number one scholar in high school?"

  Wang Shouren smiled slightly, pursed his lips and said, "Son... if you are determined to win!"

  …

  In his free time, Fang Jifan sat in the living room. It was the happiest moment. Five disciples surrounded him to serve him, each of them lowered their brows and pleasing to the eye.

  Fang Jifan doesn\'t like to play with female sex, but he still finds it quite interesting to play with his protégé.

   Tang Yin presented his thirteenth painting since he entered the gate wall.

  As usual, it is still a picture of a lady. Speaking of Tang Yin\'s picture of a lady, it is indeed a masterpiece in history. Fang Jifan watched it, and his appreciation level also rose linearly.

   But this picture of a lady is boring to look at.

  Seeing his teacher\'s brows slightly frowned, Tang Yin couldn\'t help but feel his heart skip a beat, and said cautiously: "Don\'t you like it, teacher?"

  Fang Jifan sighed, and said: "Xiao Tang, this painting is not bad, but I have a small question as a teacher, and I always can\'t figure it out."

  Tang Yin hurriedly said: "Please tell my teacher clearly."

  Fang Jifan sighed, and said: "Why are the women in this painting always dressed tightly? Why do you always dress them so much?"

   No, Fang Jifan was puzzled.

   Tang Yin\'s portraits of ladies are certainly unique, but if he remembers correctly, Tang Yin\'s paintings of the Chun palace are also quite up to standard. How can you only draw ladies and not the Chun Palace? Why, if you think you are a teacher and don\'t know how to appreciate it, you can\'t do it?

   "..." Tang Yin\'s face suddenly turned red.

  Ouyang Zhi, who was sitting at the bottom, stared blankly at the beam with a blank expression on his face.

  Jiang Chen and Liu Wenshan lowered their heads, showing no mood swings.

  Xu Jing was shocked. He seemed to be a little unaccustomed to it. He looked straight at his mentor, thinking in his heart, his mentor likes... isn\'t this... a fellow? Then next time I go there, should I call my mentor...Would it be bad, the master and apprentice have **** together, is this a good story, or...

  Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then blushed, hesitantly said: "En... teacher... this... this, the student is Gongsheng, how...how can you draw such a picture?"

  Fang Jifan glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Dirty, if you wear less clothes, will you be ashamed?"

   "..." Tang Yin wished he could bury his head in the sand.

  Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, sure enough... he still changed the fate of many people, such as Tang Yin, if in history, he was impoverished because of the fraud case, he would end up being a last resort to make a **** palace for others and benefit the village. But now, Tang Yin is still a Gongsheng student, so he begins to despise his cooking skills in history. It can be seen from this that this person is easy to forget his roots.

Fang Jifan sat down, and his expression became serious: "Okay, let\'s not talk about this, tomorrow is the palace examination, and I have nothing to teach you as a teacher. During this palace examination, you must work hard, don\'t be like Jiang Chen and Xu Jing, It\'s embarrassing for the teacher."

  Jiang Chen and Xu Jing suddenly looked ashamed, which is quite embarrassing.

  After explaining carefully, the five of them went to bed early.

Regarding this palace examination, Fang Jifan was actually a little uncertain. He knew the palace examination questions in the 12th year of Hongzhi, but the palace examination was not a general examination and a rural examination. Next, it will not change, after all, stereotyped questions are less affected by the outside world.

  The main examiner of the palace examination is a topic of policy and discussion, which has an unusual meaning.

  In the final analysis, policy theory is about current events, which may change at any time, so the emperor will be more capricious in his questions.

   In this regard, Fang Jifan did not disclose the historical policy topics, so as not to let the five disciples be affected by these topics.

Instead of this, it\'s better to cultivate their temperament of not changing color when Mount Tai collapses in front of them. Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen are very good. You see, they are not under their own training, so that even if the sky falls, they will not change their temperament. Don\'t you feel surprised at all?

   It can be seen that my own education is extremely successful.

   Next, whether they can achieve good results depends entirely on their own good fortune.

  The night was spent quietly, and the next morning, Fang Jifan got up when the genius was twilight.

  Xiao Xiangxiang dressed Fang Jifan, and said: "Master, Mr. Tang and others have already prepared early, waiting for the young master to get up."

"Oh." Fang Jifan looked at the sky outside, and couldn\'t help saying: "Being a man\'s father...ah, no, it\'s really difficult to be a man\'s mentor, but this young master has experience, otherwise, Xiao Xiangxiang, let\'s make a man Come and play, young master, I have experience in raising children now."

  Xiao Xiangxiang blushed and lowered her head shyly. Although the young master would say a few strange words every day, she gradually got used to it and no longer resisted, but today, she put on a golden belt carefully on Fang Jifan, and said crisply: "Master, You are bullying others again..." After saying that, she hid her face and left.

  Fang Jifan was overjoyed. In fact, he didn\'t really want to bully Xiao Xiangxiang, but just teased her habitually. He just turned around and saw Deng Jian who was standing at the door, also giggling.

   "Smile, go away." Fang Jifan snorted coldly, raised his fan, and knocked Deng Jian on the forehead.

  Deng Jian has played less recently, which is really unaccustomed to him.

  ...

  It\'s my birthday today, say happy birthday to myself! Oh, keep typing!
