Chapter 170 Grading

  The five of Ouyang Zhi returned to Fang\'s house and met with their teacher. During this journey, the five of them were speechless and had their own concerns.

  The result of the palace examination has not come out, which is enough to make them uneasy.

   I met my mentor, but Fang Jifan has been waiting for them anxiously. Looking at their expressions, he couldn\'t tell whether they did well in the exam, so he asked, "How is it?"

  Ouyang Zhi stepped forward and said, "Master, today\'s question is Nai Ping Milu."

   "Ping Milu?" Fang Jifan glanced at several people, and then asked, "How did you answer?"

  Ouyang Zhidao: "The teacher once talked about Milu\'s rebellion, so the students did the questions according to the teacher\'s usual teaching."

  Fang Jifan nodded.

  Tang Yin and the others also said: "Students and others also use this to solve the problem."

  Fang Jifan let out an oh.

  But Xu Jing lowered his head, looking guilty.

  Fang Jifan saw through him at a glance, stared at him and said, "Xiao Xu, how did you answer?"

  Xu Jing knelt down, and said: "The student felt that the teacher\'s teaching at that time was too heavy on the skill, and I was afraid that the answer would be disliked by His Majesty, so... the student opened a big discussion..."

  As soon as he heard Honglun, Fang Jifan understood what was going on.

Scholars, the favorite thing to do is to see the little things. For example, when it rains, it is very simple for you to comment on the rain. When going online, you must stand at a high place, start with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, then talk about the impact of rain on farming, then quote scriptures and excerpts from ancient wise emperors and virtuous officials, and finally, finish.

  Obviously, you are asked to write a rain, but you put all the first five hundred years and the next five hundred years into it.

  As for Ping Milu, Xu Jing probably started talking about the rebellions of the past dynasties, and then started to discuss why there was a rebellion? This is because the enlightenment did not extend to the natives, so how to quell the rebellion is not discussed at all.

Another example is treating a disease. Someone has a cold. You don’t prescribe medicine to drive away the cold, but you say that the root cause of the disease is because you are weak. Why are you weak? It’s because you don’t pay attention to exercise. Why don’t you exercise regularly? Well, it’s because you are lazy, so let’s put aside the cold drive and treat your laziness first.

  Fang Jifan\'s face involuntarily pulled down.

  Xu Jing knelt down and lowered his head: "Teacher, student... student..."

  Although Fang Jifan also knew that maybe the emperor really liked this kind of "high theory", but... the other disciples answered the questions obediently according to their own ideas. What do you mean by Xu Jing?

  Xu Jing burst into tears when he saw that his teacher was unhappy.

He howled: "Students dare not forget a word of the teacher\'s teaching, but the students are afraid of failing in the exam and being punished by the teacher at that time. Compared with the seniors, the student union examination is really unsightly and embarrassing to the teacher. I just thought in my heart that in the palace examination, I have to give my mentor a sigh of relief no matter what. The students think that the mentor is of course knowledgeable and comparable to ordinary people, but this is just an exam after all, not reality, so...so..."

  Xu Jing is a clever person.

This point...Fang Jifan didn\'t think he looked like an honest man. Fang Jifan glanced at Ouyang Zhi and others, and Ouyang Zhi also bowed down, saying: "Yes, teacher, Brother Xu is also trying to win the favor of his teacher, and he didn\'t other meanings."

   "Men..." Tang Yin and others bowed down one by one.

   Fang Jifan had to say, this guy, after visiting the entrance wall, it seems that several senior brothers have been won over by him.

  The character of this person... Fang Jifan snorted coldly, bared his teeth and said: "Kneel here, kneel for three days and three nights before we talk."

In fact, Fang Jifan was not sure about the results of the final palace examination, but he didn\'t like Xu Jing\'s cleverness. Although Fang Jifan looked like a fool, deep down in his heart, he was full of wonders and righteousness. Of course, this may also be The advantage of Xu Jing, but so what, I am your father, ah, no, I am your mentor, if you are asked to kneel, you will kneel.

  Xu Jing didn\'t dare to contradict him, and kowtowed to Fang Jifan in grief and indignation: "Student... I would like to obey the teacher\'s order."

  Everyone in Tang Yin was as silent as a cicada, and they were unwilling to intercede.

  …

  Tongguan, here is the east gate of Guanzhong, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists.

  But now that the Ming Dynasty is unified, this Tongguan Pass was repaired in the early Ming Dynasty. After a hundred years, the passes and buildings here have long been mottled, but because there are often merchants coming and going, the streets are still lively.

  But at this moment, the closed door opened unexpectedly.

  In the past, the closed gate was only open for one hour, and those who wanted to enter and exit the closed gate had to wait in front of the gate in advance.

  Unless... encountered special circumstances.

   I saw that when the closed gate was opened today, a flying horse entered the pass in an instant, but it didn\'t stop, but went straight through the pass along the middle road.

  At the same time, the man on the horse shouted: "Great victory, great victory, great victory in Guizhou...The government and army killed more than five thousand thieves, and pulled out countless villages..."

   This is an express report from the Southwest Express Store.

  In order to convey the news urgently, they followed the post road, entered Sichuan from Yunnan and Guizhou, then left Hanzhong, entered Guanzhong, and rushed all the way to the capital day and night.

  Under normal circumstances, ordinary good news will not be so fanfare, unless... there is an explanation in advance.

  Governor Wang Shi, who is far away in Guizhou, has long explained that in order to boost the morale of the army and the people along the way, if he encounters a market town along the way, he must sing good news.

   "Great victory..."

   After hearing this, many people began to discuss in low voices.

  The matter in Guizhou is too far away from Tongguan, but the news from this good news is still enough to cause some waves here.

   Soon, the fast horse was gone, disappeared without a trace.

  …

   Early the next morning.

  Emperor Hongzhi got up early before Maoshi. Today he put on court clothes and drove the warm pavilion. After he sat down, Liu Jian and the three arrived.

  The three saluted Emperor Hongzhi and sat down.

  Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and said: "There are more than 300 tribute students, and all the question and answer papers are here. I will read them together with you."

  Liu Jian nodded and nodded: "Your Majesty may have some deep meaning in asking this question?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "Originally I wanted to take this opportunity to ask about the drought, but what I was worried about was that the students would easily guess the exam questions. However, it is not appropriate. The rebellion in Guizhou has been going on for so long now, it can be said that it is too late, and I am really uneasy. If this delay continues, not only will the court waste countless money and food, and let Yunnan and Guizhou be corrupted, sooner or later I am afraid that it will lead to even bigger problems. Trouble…"

  Emperor Hongzhi\'s worries were not unreasonable. Although the Yungui rebellion was troublesome for the court, it was not fatal.

  The fatal thing is that while the rebellion in Guizhou needs to be suppressed, it broke out because of the long winter, the flooding of rivers everywhere, and the reduction in food production caused by drought, which eventually dragged down the court\'s finances.

  Emperor Hongzhi turned the topic back to the serious business again, saying: "Let\'s check the papers carefully, and see if there is really a talent for managing the world among the tribute students."

  Liu Jian and others couldn\'t help cheering up. They also had great interest in the younger generation.

   What\'s more, His Majesty mentioned the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou, which also made their hearts heavy.

  The king is worried about the humiliation of his ministers.

  The warm pavilion fell silent, and the policy papers were reviewed by the monarchs and ministers.

  However... Most of these papers are not surprising.

In fact, it’s no wonder that although scholars know the world’s affairs without going out, in fact, most of the best scholars spend half of their lives on stereotypes. After all, only stereotypes are good. Only then will you have the opportunity to pass all the way, strategy theory, this is a matter of the palace examination, in fact, it is too far away.

Compared with the stereotyped essays in the examination, many of the answers to this policy theory are horrible. In fact, all of these Gongsheng students are excellent scholars, but because of the limitation of their thinking, they usually keep their ears closed and only read. He wrote books of sages and sages, so in addition to showing off his literary talents, most of the policy questions in it are fake and empty.

  Thus, after reading more than a dozen policy questions, everyone lost interest.

In fact, most of the policy questions in the past have been like this. Emperor Hongzhi was not satisfied with this, but he also knew that it was only natural that the imperial court stereotyped the selection of scholars, which led to such consequences. Did not delve into it.

   Not to mention that this is the method of the ancestors, but the stereotyped selection of scholars, naturally there is also the intention of the stereotyped selection of scholars.

   It’s just that these articles are really boring to read. Most people are talking and giving pointers, but they don’t even understand the fact that the land in Guizhou is not three feet flat, and the sky is not sunny for three days, let alone use troops.

  There are also people who stand directly on a high place, and actually talk about the reason for the rebellion from the counter-rebellion because of the official affairs of the court, and then they express a lot of emotion around the official affairs.

  Emperor Hongzhi was really a little confused when he saw this. This...is too much.

  But at this moment, a slightly surprised voice came from Liu Jian on the other side: "Huh..."

  In this boring Snapper, a surprised voice is enough to cheer everyone up.

  Everyone looked at Liu Jian in unison.

  Liu Jian smiled and said: "Here is an article, which is quite interesting. This person has a thorough understanding of Ma Zheng."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and couldn\'t help asking, "I don\'t know who it is?"

  The answer sheet of the palace examination is not necessary to be obscured.

  Liu Jian was busy reading the article, but he didn\'t pay attention to the candidate\'s name. Hearing Emperor Hongzhi\'s question, he directly handed the paper to the **** beside him: "Your Majesty, please read it."

  The **** carefully forwarded the article to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi looked at the name first, and surprisingly, the name of King Shouren, the Gongsheng of "Zhejiang Shaoxing Prefecture", was written at the beginning of this scroll.

  Wang Shouren...

   "Wang Shouren... is the son of Wang Qing\'s family?"
