Ouyang Zhi and the other two returned to the Fang family and paid homage to their mentors. Along the way, the five of them had nothing to say and had their own thoughts.

The results of the palace examination did not come out, which was enough to make them uneasy.

After seeing their mentor, Fang Jifan was actually waiting for them anxiously. When he saw their expressions, he couldn't tell whether they were doing well in the exam, so he asked, "How?"

Ouyang Zhi first stepped forward and said, "Mr., today's question is Pingmilu."

"Pingmilu?" Fang Jifan glanced at the few people and then said, "How did you answer?"

Ouyang Zhi said: "My teacher once talked about Milu's rebellion, so the students asked questions according to their teacher's usual teachings."

Fang Jifan nodded.

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

Fang Jifan said 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 students felt that the teacher's teachings at that time were too important than art. I was afraid that the answer would be disliked by Your Majesty. Therefore... the students started a grand discussion..."

As soon as he heard the Hong Lunar, Fang Jifan understood what was going on.

The thing that scholars like to do most is to know the small things. For example, it was raining and asked you to comment on the rain. This was originally a very simple thing, but they thought it would be boring to answer this way, so they had to make an excerpt, stand on a high place, start with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and then discuss the impact of the rain on farming, then quote the classics and excerpts the comments of ancient wise rulers and wise ministers, and finally end it.

It is obviously asking you to write about a rain, but you put all the first five hundred years and the next five hundred years into it.

As for this Pingmi Lu, Xu Jing, probably started talking about rebellions from all dynasties, and then started talking about why rebellions were caused? This is because education did not extend to the natives, so how to quell the rebellion was a break-up. This is the technique, which is too low-end, and we have to start from culture and education to solve the root cause.

Another example is to treat a disease. Some people have wind and cold, and you don’t prescribe medicine to drive away the cold, but the root cause of this disease is because you are weak. Why are you weak? It is because you don’t pay attention to exercise. Why are you not exercising? It is because you are lazy. So, put the cold aside in advance and treat your lazy disease 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 the emperor might really like such "high theory", but... the other students answered the questions according to their own ideas. What does your Xu Jing mean? If you are against it, you will still be able to do so?

When Xu Jing saw that his mentor was displeased, he burst into tears.

He cried and said, "The students dare not forget a word about the teacher's teachings. However, the students are afraid of poor exams and will be punished by their teachers at that time. Compared with the senior brothers, the student union exam is really unsightly, and it is embarrassing to the teacher. I just thought that in the palace exam, I should give my teacher a breath of breath no matter what. The students thought that the teacher is of great knowledge and is not comparable to ordinary people, but this is just an exam, not practical, so... so..."

Xu Jing is a smart person.

This... Fang Jifan felt that he was not very honest and honest. Fang Jifan glanced at Ouyang Zhi and others, and Ouyang Zhi also bowed and said, "Yes, my teacher, Junior Brother Xu is also trying to get a breath for his teacher, and he has no other intention."

"Mr...." Tang Yin and others bowed one by one.

Fang Jifan has to say that after this guy entered the wall, he seemed to have won over several of his senior brothers.

The personality of this person... Fang Jifan snorted coldly and said, "Kneel here, kneel, and talk about it for three days and three nights."

In fact, Fang Jifan was not sure about the final results of the palace examination, but he didn't like Xu Jing to be clever. Although Fang Jifan looked careless, deep down, he had a strange view of the three views. Of course, this may also be Xu Jing's advantage, but so what? I am your father, no, I am your mentor. If you ask you to kneel down, you will kneel down.

Xu Jing did not dare to contradict him, and kowtowed to Fang Jifan in grief and anger: "Student... obey the teacher's order."

Tang Yin and others were silent, but they were unwilling to plead for mercy.

Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong and has always been a place that military strategists must fight for.

However, now that the Ming Dynasty has been unified, Tongguan has been repaired in the early Ming Dynasty, after a hundred years, the passes and buildings here have long been mottled. However, because merchants often come and go, the streets are still quite lively.

But at this moment, the door closed and opened abnormally.

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

Unless...in encounter a special situation.

I saw that as soon as the door opened, a Pegasus entered the pass instantly, but he did not stop, but directly followed the middle road and passed through the pass city straight.

At the same time, the person immediately shouted: "Great victory, great victory, Guizhou victory... The official army killed more than 5,000 thieves and drew countless camps..."

This is a express report from the Southwest emergency delivery shop.

In order to urgently convey the message, they followed the post road, from Yunnan and Guizhou to Sichuan, then out of Hanzhong, entered Guanzhong, and ran towards the capital day and night.

Generally speaking, ordinary good news will not be so popular unless...explained in advance.

Wang Shi, the governor who was far away in Guizhou, had already explained that in order to boost the morale of the army and the people along the way, if he encountered a market town along the way, he would need to report the news.

"A great victory..."

After hearing this, many people started to whisper.

The incident in Guizhou is too far from Tongguan, but the message from this good news is still enough to bring some waves here.

But soon, the fast horse had gone away and disappeared.

…………

The next morning.

Emperor Hongzhi got up early before the hour of Mao. Today he wore court clothes and set up a warm pavilion. After sitting down, Liu Jian and the other two arrived.

The three of them saluted Emperor Hongzhi and sat down.

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and said, "More than 300 tribute students, all the questions and answers are here. I will read them with you."

Liu Jian nodded: "Your Majesty asked this question, why is it meaningful?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask about this drought, but what I am worried about is that the tribute students can easily guess the test questions, but after thinking about it, it is inappropriate if the questions are randomly drawn. Now the rebellion in Guizhou has been going on for so long, and it is too big to lose. I feel really uneasy. If I delay this, not only will the court spend countless money and food, but will let the Yunnan and Guizhou decay, sooner or later it will cause greater trouble..."

Emperor Hongzhi's concerns were not unreasonable. Although the rebellion of Yunnan and Guizhou was a troublesome, it was not fatal to the court.

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

Emperor Hongzhi turned the topic to the main business again and said, "Look at the papers well, and see if there are really talented people among these tribute students."

Liu Jian and others couldn't help but cheer up, and they also had great interest in the younger generation.

What's more, when Your Majesty mentioned the rebellion of Yunnan and Guizhou, they also felt heavy in their hearts.

The king is worried about the humiliation of the minister.

The warm chalet became quiet, and the policy and arguments were reviewed by the monarch and ministers.

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

In fact, it is no wonder that even if scholars don’t go out, they will know the world’s affairs, but in fact, most scholars have spent half of their lives on the eight-legged essays. After all, only if they do the eight-legged essays well can they have the opportunity to pass the hurdles and defeat the generals. This is a matter of the palace examination, which is actually too far away.

Compared with the eight-legged essays in the imperial examination, many of the answers to this policy theory are terrible. These tribute students are actually excellent scholars, but because of their limitations in their thinking, they usually turn a blind eye to things outside the window and only read the books of sages. Therefore, in addition to showing off their literary talent, the majority of the strategies and questions are fake.

Therefore, after reading more than a dozen questions, everyone was a little uninterested.

In fact, most of the previous questions have been like this. Emperor Hongzhi was not satisfied with this, but he also knew that the consequences of the court's eight-part essay selection of scholars were taken for granted, so although he felt that something was wrong, he did not go into it in depth.

Not to mention that this is the law of the ancestors, but the eight-part essays are used to select scholars, so naturally there is also the intention of selecting scholars.

But these articles are really boring to read. Most people talk and give advice, but they don’t even understand the fact that Guizhou is not as smooth as the sky and the sky is not as clear as three days, let alone military use.

There were also people who stood directly on a high place and actually talked about the rebellion from this quelling rebellion because of the issue of officials in the court. Then they revolted around officials and expressed their feelings.

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

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

In this boring warm chalet, a sound of surprise was enough to cheer everyone up.

Everyone looked at Liu Jian at the same time.

Liu Jian smiled and said, "There is an article here that has some meaning. This person actually has a very thorough understanding of Ma Zheng."

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

There is no need to miss the answer sheet of the palace examination.

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

The eunuch carefully transferred the article to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi first looked at the name. Suddenly, at the beginning of this volume, the name of Wang Shouren, a tribute student in "Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province".

Wang Shouren...

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