atbaatbaZhang Zhou entered the Gongyuan.
With Wang Mingshan, Liu Gui and a cook, there were not many people. In addition, the emperor specially asked several Jin Yiwei to follow him in to protect Zhang Zhou's safety.
In the Ming Dynasty, although there was no "horse feast" before the provincial examination, the examiners still had to meet each other as a courtesy before the examination, because the examiners in the Shuntian Prefecture examination room had already known about this event. One of the examiners was the famous Zhang Zhou, so almost everyone was waiting for Zhang Zhou's arrival that day.
Including Yang Tinghe, who entered the Gongyuan two hours early.
Zhang Zhou arrived relatively late, but as long as he entered before dark, no one would say anything.
The examiners are mainly officials from Shuntian Prefecture. They are all supervisory and promotion officials. The exam has not yet started, so there is no distinction between inner curtain officers and outer curtain officers. During the meeting, they will It seemed like a gathering, and everyone came to salute and greet Zhang Zhou.
"You're welcome. This is my first time taking the provincial examination. If there's anything I don't understand, I hope you can give me some advice."
Zhang Zhou had a smile on his face.
He entered the inner curtain and settled down in his place first, and then Yang Tinghe came to visit him alone.
Yang Tinghe is over forty years old. He is not tall, but looks very stable. The goatee on his face gives people a sense of calm and self-power, but in front of Zhang Zhou, he looks very calm. Be humble and prudent.
While saluting, Yang Tinghe also expressed his gratitude to Zhang Zhou for prophesying for him about his old mother's illness.
Zhang Zhoudao said, "I just thought that something big might happen at Yang Hanlin's house, and I wasn't sure what it was, so I mentioned it to His Majesty. Your Majesty specially asked you to go back to Shu. If you can serve me, Your majesty is also considerate of your ministers in their last journey."
Yang Tinghe said, "Your majesty is so kind, I should remember it."
Zhang Zhou asked with a smile, "I don't know if Yang Hanlin is there." Think about it, what's the topic?"
Yang Tinghe was startled, and then he seemed to understand something. He looked around and made sure that the partition wall had no ears, and then said, "I entered the palace yesterday and met His Majesty. Your Majesty It is said that everything should be done by Cai Guogong, and Cai Guogong can make his own decision." "Should Yang Hanlin help more?" Zhang Zhou did not agree immediately.
If the emperor asks you to listen to me, just do it
Your reputation in history, Yang Tinghe, can be regarded as "iron-bone", although your shining point is not in the Hongzhi Dynasty. , but your reputation as a Zhengchen is not fake, right?
"The topic can be used as a reference. If there is anything wrong, Cai Guogong can also point out." Yang Tinghe did not argue at all.
Zhang Zhou said, "That's good. If one person comes up with the question, and the news spreads, it will inevitably make people think that this question is a bit biased. We should learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses. We will each draw up a few questions tonight. Let’s discuss and select a few test questions for the Four Books and Five Classics. What do you think?”
"Good." Yang Tinghe nodded.
Composing questions together, summarizing them together, and then selecting topics from them can be considered a serious process.
The emperor asked Zhang Zhou to listen, and Yang Tinghe was also afraid that something would go wrong. Now Zhang Zhou had to follow the rules, which meant that there was no problem for him.
There was originally a banquet for Zhang Zhou that night. It was not a banquet in name, but more like a banquet for him by his colleagues, but Zhang Zhou refused.
They all brought cooks in, so naturally they have to eat what they like. Zhang Zhou has also been "losing weight" recently. Although he has been running around a lot since coming to Ming Dynasty, his body is still a little bit fatter, and so is Zhang Zhou. He was determined to go to Gongyuan and suffer some hardships.
Zhang Zhou drafted several questions.
The titles of Four Books and Five Classics are excerpts from the Four Books and Five Classics. Even a layman can come up with the questions as long as he can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics.
But it is also a skill to ask profound questions, especially those that correspond to current events.
Liu Gui set up a shelf outside before dark. The shelf was used to dry clothes, because Zhang Zhou also brought his own clothes to the inner curtain, and there was a separate courtyard. This was also Zhang Zhou’s small world. Then there were some arrangements, mainly to make up for some security lapses.
"Tell him to stop being busy. There are people on the third and third floors here. There are still people who want to assassinate me." Zhang Zhou asked Wang Mingshan to go out and inform Liu Gui, asking Liu Gui not to bother.
When it was late at night, Zhang Zhou was already preparing to go to bed. Liu Gui was shouting outside to announce that Yang Tinghe was visiting.
Zhang Zhou met Yang Tinghe in the small courtyard where he lived.
After lighting the lamp, Yang Tinghe sat down. When he saw that Zhang Zhou had a separate courtyard and there were dedicated people waiting on him, Yang Tinghe inevitably showed some envious eyes.
The powerful and powerful people in the court were treated differently from others even when they were the examiners of the provincial examination.
"The topic has been drafted. I am afraid that it may be inappropriate, so I came to discuss it with you in advance." Yang Tinghe did not regard himself as a senior of the Hanlin Academy at all.
Yang Tinghe also knew that since he had not been in the Hanlin Academy for several years, the situation in the Hanlin Academy had changed a lot, and Yang Tinghe needed Zhang Zhou's strength to support him.
Even if he does not join the Zhang Party, he must at least have a stable relationship with Zhang Zhou. And this time the emperor asked him to cooperate with Zhang Zhou in selecting talents, which invisibly gave him an opportunity to establish a good relationship with Zhang Zhou. .
Zhang Zhou said, "I also have a question here, so don't come here. The candidates will be admitted tomorrow night, and the exam will start early the day after tomorrow. We have to step up the printing of questions. We can't delay." . ”
The rules of the provincial examination must also be that questions must be given before the exam, not in advance.
And the questions are given after
the inner curtain is locked. The only transportation in the middle is to be delivered directly from the inner curtain to the examination room and handed over to the candidates on the morning of the exam. , and the questions are not distributed on site, but have been printed on the paper.of.
This requires doing everything well in advance.
Yang Tinghe asked, "I don't know whether we want to select upright talents or talents who are loyal to the industry."
"Hmm" Zhang Zhou looked at Yang Tinghe.
This Yang Tinghe’s questioning method is different from others.
Zhang Zhou thought about it for a while. The so-called Zhongzheng talents should be said to be able to be Zhongzheng officials in the future. They need to be impartial and able to make decisions decisively, which is relatively radical. .
The official who keeps his job is more cautious and must fulfill his duties and do his job well.
One is more radical and the other is more conservative.
Zhang Zhou said, "The article should be based on talent. It is better not to set the tone first. As long as there is knowledge, all kinds of talents are indispensable."
In fact, Zhang Zhou did not expect to do so. Choose who to help you.
Besides, one provincial examination can really select someone for your own use
Hosting the provincial examination this time is more to pave the way for future hosting conferences and to inform everyone. People in the world, Zhang Zhou can exist as the examiner. From now on, let the scholars in the world consider whether they will "offend" Zhang Zhou in the future before scolding Zhang Zhou.
If you take the provincial examination or the general examination in the future, and Zhang Zhou happens to be the examiner, do you think it will have an impact on your path to the imperial examination?
"Then you should answer more questions." "The title is benevolence and filial piety." After Yang Tinghe finished speaking, he added, "Come to think of it, this is also your Majesty's wish." Zhang Zhou said, "As long as the title is satisfactory, what is the title?" It doesn’t matter. When choosing articles, don’t choose those that are too pandering. Yang Hanlin should know what I stand for in scholarship.”
Yang Tinghe nodded. He had obviously heard of Zhang Zhou’s promotion of mind science. matter.
If the candidates for this Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination know that Zhang Zhou is a master of mental studies, and deliberately add more content on mental studies in the exam to cater to Zhang Zhou, it seems inevitable.
In Zhang Zhou’s opinion, he wants to be overly flattered. This kind of person is a villain who is good at flattering, so don’t choose him.
Of course, if this group of candidates knows what my opinions are, or what biases I have in scholarship, it is your ability to cater to me. Only in the general direction that everyone knows, If you come to cater, you are looking for failure.
Zhang Zhou and Yang Tinghe discussed the test questions until midnight before they separated.
The topics of the Four Books and Five Classics are decided first, followed by official application questions and policy questions. The questions for the second and third sessions can be postponed appropriately, but the questions for the first session need to be prepared first.
That night.
Sun Shangqi took Caihuang to the imperial prison and asked Caihuang to visit the head of the Huang family, Huang Yibei.
"Be careful what you say after entering. There will be someone listening next to you. If there is anything inappropriate, you will be kicked out at any time." After all, Sun Shangqi is an old man in Jinyi Guard, who is dealing with the imperial edict. In terms of things, he is quite experienced.
Caihuang quickly took out the money from the basket she was carrying.
Sun Shangqi said, "Think of this place as the yamen of the state capital."
Caihuang said with a reserved expression, "We should give wine and tea to a few gentlemen. ”
“Forget it.”
Sun Shangqi will not accept this amount of money.
Although the silver ingot looked like it was at least ten taels, his grandson Shangqi didn't look down upon this small amount of silver.
The Caihuang family made a mistake. Afraid of the wrath of the Jin Yiwei, Sun Shangqi followed behind. She didn't even dare to breathe. Finally, she arrived in front of Huang Yibei's cell door. After the Caihuang family walked over, she immediately Putting the basket down, I wanted to walk towards my old father.
"My lord, whatever you want to ask, I can answer it for you."
It was late at night when Jin Yiwei came suddenly. Huang Yibei thought it was Jin Yiwei's night interrogation, and he was almost frightened. Rolling urine stream.
"Father." Ms. Caihuang walked over and saw her old father's disheveled appearance. She couldn't help but hide her face and cry.
Only then did Huang Yibei see his daughter in front of him.
Caihuang's family is almost forty years old, and Huang Yibei is over sixty years old. It is inevitable for father and daughter to hug each other and cry when they meet.
In the end, Caihuang was calmer and said quickly, "This official is Sun Qianhu of Jinyiwei. He was ordered by Cai Guogong to have his son come to visit you. My father is in prison recently. "Okay"
"This"
Even if Huang Yibei could say it was not good, he would not dare to say it.
"Stop gossiping, speak openly, and get things over with quickly." Sun Shangqi urged.
Huang Yibei said, "Why are you here?"
Caihuang said, "It's my sister-in-law. Her distant relative is Cai Guogong. I don't know where my sister-in-law is now." "
"Maybe they are being guarded nearby." Huang Yibei said with a look of regret, "The family is in trouble here. After we go out, no one will mention it. My dear, can our family still go out?"
"Cai Guogong said that as long as our family puts aside the relationship with the Zhao family, we can go out." Caihuang glanced at Sun Shangqi and found that the Jin Yiwei in the prison was giving Sun Shangqi After being courteous, she leaned over and said, "We must rely on someone from the Zhao family to get through. Only in this way can we get out of trouble."
"But this is not good either."
Huang Yibei seems to have a bit of a scholar's backbone.
After all, the patriarchs of these big families have read books and know some etiquette, justice and integrity.
Caihuang
Shi asked, "Does the father want the family to disappear like this, or does he want to maintain the status quo?"
"Alas"
Huang Yibei could only sigh, and then said, "I saw your second uncle but didn't go to see him. He has an idea."
"I can't care less." Caihuang said, " After finally meeting Cai Guogong in person, Cai Guogong also gave me this opportunity, but if it can really help the family get out of trouble, there is no way I can express my gratitude."
Huang Yibei asked."Then my son, what can I do?"
Caihuang said, "My son is also thinking of a way. He wanted to visit his brother and the others, but he didn't give him the chance. He also hoped that his father could take advantage of the family's great business. "It's important, you can't be stubborn anymore."
"Yes." Huang Yibei nodded.
"There is some food here, as well as some broken silver and clothes, all sent to my father so that he can take care of himself in prison." Caihuang said, "Father, don't worry, these are all done after The commander of the Jinyiwei agreed, and they asked me to bring him here."
"Commander of the Jinyiwei, how did you get involved with these big shots?"
What about Huang Yibei? They can't understand that their daughter is just a woman and a child, and she is Cai Guogong and the commander of Jin Yiwei, as if she can reach the sky.
"Father, there is no need to ask. I just asked my father. I mean, for the sake of the family, the family can pay any price without caring about it, right?" The Caihuang family also showed some of the female leaders at this moment. attitude.
Now that all the men named Huang are in prison, and only the married daughter can come out and move around, do you listen to me or not?
Huang Yibei said, "This It's natural."
"Then I'll have to write a handwritten note from my father, so that I can get out of trouble in the future. Don't let everyone blame me for what happened today."
Cai Huang is not a vegetarian either.
It is a trivial matter to spend money for family affairs now. If we really get out of trouble, the family will think that the sacrifice is too much now, saying that this is all caused by the Caihuang family, and they will vent their anger on Caihuang. Caihuang's family, and even Caihuang's husband's family and children, Caihuang's family is asking for trouble.
"Son, I can really get out of trouble. No matter what, you will have a share in the family from now on."
The daughter originally did not have any inheritance rights.
But now Huang Yibei has agreed to give this married daughter a share of the family property.
"It is the father's business who he wants to give it to. Now I need my father's handwriting so that my daughter can fully represent the Huang family. The connections, property, etc. of the Huang family will be used by anyone." Everyone, including the father, must agree. Only in this way can the son have the confidence to intervene. This is the last chance for our Huang family. If the father does not agree, we will probably have to leave it to fate."
Who wants that little family property
I want to be a parent
From now on, even if I am a Cai family member, I will still have to take care of the Huang family's affairs.
"Hello father, I will write to you right now."
Even if Huang Yibei knows his daughter's thoughts, in this case, only his daughter can see those big shots, he I had to do it.
It is a case of emergency medical treatment. End of this chapter
