When Zhang Zhou came out of the official office, Zhu Houzhao was already waiting impatiently.
"Is it over? It's time to take me to a fun place." When Zhu Houzhao saw Zhang Zhou coming out, he immediately jumped out of the carriage with a look of anticipation on his face.
The last time he came out, he made trouble in Zhang Zhou's laboratory all afternoon. This time, his goal was clear, and he wanted to follow Zhang Zhou out to see.
Zhang Zhou said, "I want to go to the Imperial College."
Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Why are you going to that kind of place again? Isn't it because I have a speech book? I agreed to make money. You take me with you." Go and have a look."
For Zhu Houzhao, after finally getting out of the palace, and then going to schools and other places where intellectuals gathered, it would feel like he had just emerged from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.
Zhang Zhou said, "It's up to you whether you want to go or not. Prince, please feel free to do it yourself."
As for Zhang Zhou, if he doesn't come out to coax the children, you have to follow him. The emperor has said so. It doesn’t matter what you say, so it wouldn’t be cowardly to have to be controlled by you
“Don’t leave, let’s discuss it. Let’s find a good place to visit the head office after we get out of the Imperial College”
Zhang Zhou took Zhu Houzhao to the Imperial Academy.
At this time, Tang Yin and others walked out of the official residence. Their carriages were ordered to the street corner by the Jin Yiwei. They themselves were still wondering why their carriages had moved.
"Master, I heard that someone from the official family came earlier, so we can only go aside first. They are very powerful."
The slaves of the Tang Dynasty are still in a hurry. Xu Jing's carriage.
At this time, Tang Yin's family was actually in decline. It was only thanks to Xu Jing's appreciation that he could enjoy extraordinary treatment.
Tang Yin was still immersed in the atmosphere of his previous bet with Zhang Zhou and could not recover for a while.
"That's the Jinyiwei, right?"
After Zhang Zhou and Zhu Houzhao left, the Jinyiwei naturally had to leave as well.
Some Juren had never seen Jinyiwei before, but they suddenly saw groups of people passing by, and they still stopped to watch.
Xu Jing was waiting for news at a nearby place. Hearing that the party was over, he hurriedly came over, "Bohu, how are you?"
Tang Yin told Zhang Zhou about the bet he had made .
Xu Jingdao "I just heard that there is a tribute selection in the Imperial College this year. Guess what, Zhang Bingkuan actually participated."
"Seriously"
Tang Yin was quite surprised.
Zhang Zhou actually kept his word. He made a bet with him here. He also felt that Zhang Zhou was too arrogant and would probably default on his debt later.
Now that Xu Jing said this, he knew that Zhang Zhou meant it.
"I didn't understand. You said that at his age, it was his first time to take the general examination, and he had to accept the tribute selection and be promoted to an official position before he even took the examination. What was he trying to do? You don't have to worry about Bohu. In his condition, he will definitely not be able to pass the Jinshi exam."
Xu Jing saw Tang Yin's worried face and was afraid that Tang Yin was worried about the bet with Zhang Zhou.
Tang Yin said, "Not necessarily."
Xu Jing smiled and encouraged, "Take the test."It is best to leave no room for failure in the imperial examination. How can he participate in the selection of tribute and the general examination at the same time? If he has other things on his mind, he will definitely not be able to pass the examination. I think he is just because of his incompetence. Just find a step to get down. "
As he was talking, a carriage stopped beside him.
Tang Yin looked over and saw that the other party was an official carriage.
Wang Hao opened the curtain. , waving, Tang Yin hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
“Bohu, I heard about your bet with Bingkuan, and I have something to tell you. The prince’s chariot has just left. Wang Hao said.
"Prince"
Tang Yin didn't understand the situation for a while.
Wang Hao said bluntly, "Although no one has said it clearly, from what I know, As early as when Bingkuan arrived in Beijing, he entered the East Palace to give lectures, and later went in and out of the palace many times. You shouldn't compete with him for a moment of loyalty."
Wang Hao is a bachelor after all, and occupies an important seat in the daily lectures in the East Palace. He knows a lot of information, but he would never mention it to others in the past.
p>When Tang Yin heard this, he stood there dumbly, as if his soul had been taken away for a while, and he became a walking dead puppet.
"Bohu, I thought about him. Maybe it's not out of malice, it may be to fight with you, or it may inspire you to improve, and it's not intentionally to make things difficult. "Wang Hao has extraordinary insight. At first, he didn't want to have much to do with Zhang Zhou, but when he heard about Zhang Zhou's bet with Tang Yin, he seemed to be the best able to understand Zhang Zhou's "deep meaning."
Tang Yin said, "The students don't understand. ”
Wang Hao smiled bitterly.
There are some things that cannot be explained to Tang Yin.
Could you tell him that even if you lose, you can worship Zhang Zhou? It's an honor for you, too. I'm afraid you don't know how much his majesty respects Zhang Zhou.
I'm afraid that if others want to have a relationship with him, there will be no chance.
As for it. Even Wang Hao seemed to think that Zhang Zhou would no longer take part in the examination after losing. Based on Zhang Zhou’s experience, this examination may be Zhang Zhou’s only chance to take the imperial examination on the right track. As Zhang Zhou worried, if this time If he fails the exam, it will be difficult for him to calm down and take the exam in the future.
Just because the emperor comes to look for him when he has nothing to do will make people feel at ease preparing for the exam
Wang Hao did not answer. Then he left.
After Wang Hao left, Xu Jing came over and asked, "Who is"? Zhan Shiwang is a bachelor. "Tang Yin replied.
Xu Jing said in surprise, "Bohu, it seems you are lucky. Even Bachelor Wang admires you so much. If you can be ranked first in high school, it will be easier for someone in the court to enter Hanyuan. You have a bright future ahead. ”
Tang Yin suddenly felt dejected, “Can I really be ranked first in high school?”
These words also surprised Xu Jing.
The wild and unruly Tang Yin, who is extremely confident, After meeting Zhang Zhou, he became mentally distorted and even doubted whether he could pass the Jinshi examination
"Bohu, others may not have confidence in you, but from what I have seen, your talent is comparable to that of Zhang Zhou." Compared with those who have been in Hanyuan for a long time,Lin, on this list, you will definitely pass the high school."
The good relationship between Xu Jing and Tang Yin is more of an investment.
He himself does not have much confidence in passing the exam. But he was very confident about Tang Yin.
In the Imperial Academy, an "interview" was going on.
The Hanlin Academy sent him to the Imperial Academy. A five-person team headed by Editor Liu Chun was responsible for conducting interviews and assessments of more than 50 previously shortlisted candidates, and among the Imperial College, Lin Han, the Imperial College's Jiu Jiu, and Imperial College Secretary Ye Jia Yong were also included.
The seven examiners were all from the Hanlin Academy, and Lin Han had the highest official position, so Lin Han was very confident. He felt that with his own prestige, it would be too easy to kill Zhang Zhou in the final round.
The content of the exam is the same as that of ordinary imperial examinations.
The questions are given on the spot. Everyone sits behind the desk and writes an article within an hour.
Zhang Zhou comes in. I have noticed before that the average age of Jugong who came to participate in the selection this time is over fifty years old. They are the kind who have been juren for half their lives and feel that there is no hope of becoming a Jinshi. They also have served in the Imperial College for many years and are good at studying and educating people. People with certain experience.
Most of them will be admitted to the Imperial College or sent to local county schools as "Xue Zheng" or "Jiao Yu". , after working for a few years, you may be promoted, usually to local magistrates, county magistrates, etc. The better ones may be placed in positions such as general magistrate, state magistrate, etc. As for those who want to stay in the six ministries, unless they are special talents, otherwise Basically no chance.
When Zhang Zhou appeared, the people present were actually very tired.
They didn’t even know why there was this selection test, they just knew it was this. It was temporarily added by the emperor.
Zhang Zhou came last and sat in the corner. Unlike others, at least he did not need to bear too much pressure. These old Gongsheng students seemed to regard this selection as the last of their lives.
The previous selection relied on writing essays after setting the questions, rather than answering them on the spot, so it could not reflect the level of knowledge. Therefore, in the final round, you need to answer the questions on the spot like the imperial examination, but there is no need to seal it.
The title was written by Lin Han himself.
After the opening ceremony, Zhang Zhou sat in the corner and started writing. Write.
Lin Han walked around and found that many Gongsheng were thinking, but the person he cared about most in the corner was already busy writing.
Lin Han walked over. He didn't know what Zhang Zhou was writing, so he said coldly, "Don't be too impatient when writing."
Zhang Zhou raised his head and grinned at him.
Lin Han saw Zhang Zhou's smile. Feeling angry, he walked around and sat down at his seat.
After less than half an hour, Zhang Zhou came over to hand in his paper.
"You" Lin Han raised his head. Staring at Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou shrugged, probably meaning, I’m done, I’m going to hand over the paper and leave.
Liu Chun next to him smiled and took Zhang Zhou’s hand. exam paper,After seeing Zhang Zhou's title, his expression froze slightly, and then he just pressed the paper under the white paper.
Wait for Zhang Zhou to turn around and go out.
Lin Han wanted to go over and take a look at Zhang Zhou's paper, but Liu Chun stopped him.
Liu Chun whispered, "Mr. Lin, you are the examiner for today's exam, but the selection is done by the Hanlin Academy. You know it."
It means, the question Although you are the one who gave it, the quality of the exam paper has nothing to do with you. That is the business of the five of us in the Hanlin Academy. You should not get involved.
Lin Han said coldly, "Is it possible that I can't even look at it?"
"No" Liu Chun seemed to be very principled.
Lin Han sighed and said no more.
After Zhang Zhou left the examination room, he left the Imperial Academy to listen to the storytelling with Zhu Houzhao.
After collecting the papers here, Liu Chun and others will take the examination papers back to the Hanlin Academy for review.
Lin Han grabbed Liu Chuntian and said, "That Zhang Bingkuan paper"
"We will be impartial and the decision-making power is not mine. We will also report it to Bachelor Cheng."
It means that although the five of us are the marking officers, the decision-making power seems to be with Cheng Minzheng. It is possible that Cheng Minzheng does not have the right to decide. The person who proposes this matter is responsible, and it may be heard by Heaven.
Lin Han almost said that I also want to participate in the marking.
But Liu Chun didn't give him any face and seemed to be doing business.
Afternoon.
Cheng Minzheng received more than 50 examination papers that had been reviewed by five marking officers.
He opened the wooden box containing the test papers, and then looked sideways at Xiao Jing, who was sitting on the side with a smile on his face, and he knew what was going on.
Then he took out the exam papers.
The most important share belongs to Zhang Zhou.
"Eunuch Xiao, you want Zhang Bingkuan's paper." Cheng Minzheng said.
"Really?" Xiao Jing became interested and leaned his head over to take a look.
But in the blank space on the side of the paper, the five marking officers of the Hanlin Academy all gave comments.
Because this paper is the most appreciated, the five marking officers all rated it very highly, otherwise it would not be placed at the top.
Cheng Minzheng said, "First."
Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Let's just say, Mr. Zhang is very talented and learned. He passed the Yingtianfu Township Examination based on his ability. If it is just a tribute competition with a few people who have always failed to win the Jinshi, how can they not win the first prize? "Does Bachelor Cheng know how to write this memorial?"
Cheng Minzheng nodded helplessly and said, "I know, but I don't know." In addition to the first one, you also need to choose a few people."
"Just choose four or five people. Don't treat them too badly. Report it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs later, or give them a magistrate or county magistrate. Just treat them kindly. I didn’t expect it to be so easy. It seems that your majesty and our family are too worried.”
Originally, I wanted to teach and receive in private, but Zhang Zhou easily topped the exam among a group of old Gongsheng students.
The matter was resolved satisfactorily,Xiao Jing was very satisfied.
The next step is to report the matter. If Zhang Zhou fails the examination in the coming year, he can be appointed to an official position.
Cheng Minzheng sighed, "With this method, what kind of Jinshi should he take? If he doesn't win the Dingjia, it would be better to be selected as a Hanlin reviewer. It's better than staying in the imperial examination for three years and having to go through the imperial examination."
