Prime Minister

Chapter 125 Changing Majors

Zhang Yue took a look at Huang Haoyi, but saw that he seemed to be completely kept in the dark, not knowing what the woman around him was like.

Zhang Yue said heartily, watching Water Margin by himself, Wang Po taught Ximen Qing ten steps to chase Pan Jinlian, and the last step was to use the chopsticks to fall under the table and pinch the opponent's feet.

Although the Song Dynasty did not have women in the Ming and Qing Dynasties who regarded feet as life, foot-binding had long been practiced.

For example, if an official such as Qiang Yuanming took up the post of Chang'an and bid farewell to Cai Jing, Cai Jing joked, you will have cold tea there.

It means that the prostitutes in Chang'an have their feet bound, and the tea is served slowly, and the tea will be cold when served.

But Yulian was like this as soon as she came up, which was too "straight to the point".

It is said that Zhang Yue used to browse station B a lot before, and when he turned to the women's troupe dance, he would also stare at other girls without blinking.But in real life, Zhang Yue still likes soft and cute girls like Wang Bingbing.

Although such a girl had never taken a fancy to him before, he couldn't accept Yulian like this.

The most important thing is that a friend's wife can't be bullied!

Zhang Yue coughed lightly, raised his glass and said calmly: "Thank you, miss."

Huang Haoyi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhang Yue call him that.

Yulian didn't feel annoyed at what Zhang Yue said, she raised her glass lightly, and then the rouge lip marks were clearly visible on the wall of the white porcelain cup.

Zhang Yue suddenly remembered the joke about Jia Baoyu's liking for lip balm.However, in Zhang Yue's era, it was rude to leave lipstick on the wine glass.

Zhang Yue couldn't help resisting the temptation again with modern thinking.

But Zhang Yue also admires the other party's charming methods and style, no wonder there is a saying that "seeing the feet from the head, the wind runs downward, and the head sees the head, the wind runs upwards."

In the Song Dynasty, there were so many scholar-bureaucrats who didn't like the respectful and dignified wives and concubines at home and came out to eat flower wine.

This is the cost of their meals!

The more Zhang thought about this place, he felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he immediately got up and said, "I'm a little drunk, I'll go back to my room to rest."

"Sanlang is drunk now?" At this time Huang Haoyi took out a bag of money and said: "Sanlang, I took this from my sister-in-law's house today, and I will return it to you first."

Zhang Yue took the money and said, "Alright."

Huang Haoyi wanted to say something again, but was stopped by Yulian, and Zhang Yue didn't bother to ask any more questions, so he went straight back to his room to rest.

The next day, Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi came to Taixue to do the naturalization procedures.

A total of seven of the ten scholars recommended by the prefectures and counties were enrolled.If it is really as straight as Zhang Youzhi before, Hu Xuezheng and the others told Zhang Yue that the Taixue exam is not difficult, it is mainly a cutscene.

Even if the three who failed the rankings couldn't make up the Tai students for a while, they could still make up as Guangwen Guan students and participate in the Imperial College Supervised Examination.There is even a way to change the study of calligraphy and law.

These days, Zhang Yue heard a lot of news in the inn, such as Wu Zhongfu who has succeeded Hu Yuangou in charge of the Guozijian, and played the imperial court's old system.For the annual tribute examination in the near imperial edict, a make-up examination is required the previous year.Compared to the examination room, most of them bought the certificate of supervision privately by the capital, tried it when they changed their names, and tried to make progress by pretending to be households in Jinei, not because they wanted to be lonely and cold in the distance.

The general idea is that many people pretended to be the Imperial College, and students from the Guangwen Academy took the Imperial College Examination, so that many scholars who traveled as far as the capital and had no powerful background failed the exam.

Therefore, Wu Zhongfu implored the original 450 quotas of Guozijian to remain unchanged (the imperial court plans to reduce the quotas everywhere).

As for the solution to such a problem, it is also very Song Renzong. Didn’t the officials say that many candidates who came to Bianjing from afar and cold did not pass the exam?It's very simple. The original quota of 450 for the Guozijian test is not only unchanged, but it will be fine if it is increased to [-] people.

But today Zhang Yue went to Guozijian, and heard another piece of news that had already been rumored, but it was already confirmed. This news was very exciting, but it was not good news for him.

Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty invited the Tribute Court of the Ministry of Rites.

'Should the world's Jinshi and all subjects be halved.The Ming Scriptures are not tested but are explained by various subjects, and there is no one person who can explain them from all subjects.There are 210 Jinshi in Kaifeng Prefecture, 160 from various disciplines; 100 Jinshi from Guozijian, 15 from various disciplines;There are 200 Jinshi named in the Ministry of Rites, and the number of Jinshi in various disciplines and Ming Jing can not exceed'.

What does this memorial mean?

Jinshi all over the world, the quota for all subjects is halved, just not so many people come to Beijing to take the exam (except for the Guozijian exam).

In addition, in the past, there were more than 300 Jinshi in the first list. For example, there were more than 390 in the second year of Jiayou, and now there are 510 Jinshi.

How to allocate the 510 Jinshi places, 210 people from Kaifeng Prefecture, 100 people from Guozijian, and 200 people from the Ministry of Rites (all prefectures and counties).

In particular, there are 100 Jinshi in Guozijian, 26 in Mingjing, and 600 in various disciplines.

But the bad news is that it was originally thought that the Ming Jing Department would have another quota, but now the Ming Jing Department has taken up the quota of other subjects.And even if there is no Ming Jing subject, the number of places in each subject will be greatly reduced compared to previous years.

For example, there are only 26 people in the Mingjing of the Guozijian, which is far less than the dozens of people last year.

Therefore, two of the three people who failed to be selected by Taixue this time were all disciplines and Mingjing.

Anyway, upon hearing the news, Huang Haoyi suddenly felt complacent.

The quota of Guozijian has increased from 450 to 100, and the number of Jinshi has increased to [-], which means that his value as a Jinshi Ketai student has skyrocketed.

Just as Zhang Yue was about to leave, a scholar said: "Li Zhidao asked you to go, follow me."

"May I ask who Li Zhidao is?"

"It's Mr. Xu Jiang."

Zhang Yue's expression changed when he heard this, isn't this Li Gou?Spray that with your teacher.

"Can you not go?"

The academic official looked at Zhang Yue up and down and said, "You didn't go if you were told to tell me directly, so you know that he will be in charge of Gou Taixue in the future? Do you want to stay in Taixue after you don't go to see him?"

What?Li Gou was in charge of Gou Taixue, didn't this just hit the muzzle of the gun?

Zhang Yue reluctantly followed the scholar to a teacher's studio.

The academic official gave Zhang Yue a wink of "good for himself" and left.Zhang Yue knocked on the door helplessly.

"Come in!"

Zhang Yue went inside but saw an old man nearly fifty years old writing big characters with a pen.

"The new Confucian student Zhang Yue met Li Zhidao!"

The old man glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "I heard that your seal script is very good? Let's see how the old man writes this character?"

Zhang got closer and saw that the other party also wrote a seal script, which was the famous "Kaiji Carved Stone".

The old man looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Why don't you speak? Since you are good at writing seal script, you should comment on it!"

Zhang Yue read it and said: "Students dare not comment on the teacher's words lightly."

"Hey, you are a student of Mr. Boyi, you must have insights in seal script! Don't be modest." Li Gou put down his pen.

Zhang Yue said: "Students dare not."

"Hmph! You don't dare to measure yourself!" Li Gou brushed his sleeves and said, "No matter what you were like before, you will be my student when you arrive at Taixue, and you have to obey orders. But don't worry, although I and your husband There are festivals, but if I bully you, I will be bullying the small, and I will not be ashamed of it."

"I came to you today because I have something to tell you. You used to be admitted to Taixue with various subjects, but now the imperial court has decreed that Taixue focuses on Jinshi subjects, so the Taixue students who studied various subjects before can change to Jinshi Division."

"I think your three essays are still eye-catching. Presumably, the prose is also good. If you can't do it for a while, you can ask the teacher to study hard after entering the Jinshi Department of Taixue."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he couldn't help being a little unexpected. When he was in Pucheng before, the state school was in Zhengzhou, and the teaching assistant persuaded himself to change to the Jinshi course after entering Taixue.Now Li Gou actually mentioned it on his own initiative?
This is not impossible.

There is also plenty of time. After Fan Zhongyan’s Qingli New Deal, it was stipulated that students who entered Taixue for [-] days can take the examination, and students from Zhuzhou and counties need [-] days.

If Zhang Yue wants to take part in this year's Imperial College Examination, he will not be able to keep up.

It is true that Zhang Yue is somewhat confident if he takes the Nine Classics subject, even if the number of places in this subject is greatly reduced.

But the Jinshi department itself is not sure at all, and the Jinshi department does not just memorize it by rote.

Jinshi subjects should examine poetry and prose theory, and post scriptures and ink meanings.

Apart from pasting scriptures and ink meanings, Zhang Yue is completely ignorant of poetry, prose, strategy and theory.

Zhang Yue said to Li Gou, "Can you allow the students to think about it."

Li Gou didn't take it seriously, "When will you give me an answer?"

Zhang Yue said: "The day after tomorrow."

Li Gou said: "I promise you! I will come to the Imperial College the day after tomorrow to divide the fast. Once it is set, it cannot be changed."

"Student, thank you for speaking directly."

After hearing this, Li Gou waved his hand to signal Zhang Yue to go out, as if he didn't want to say a word.

Zhang Yue left the teacher's studio, thinking that there might be some twists and turns in Taixue in the future.But if you want to improve the Shike, you can go to Ouyang Xiu's mansion tomorrow to ask for advice, and then make a decision.

Thinking of this, Zhang felt more at ease.

At this moment, Huang Haoyi had already allocated the house, and immediately asked: "How is Sanlang? Have you settled the house yet?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "The straight talker wants me to improve the Shi Ke, if I improve the Shi Ke, I will be assigned to the Jinshi Zhai, I told him to think about it, and I will answer him the day after tomorrow. I would like to hear Shiro's opinion on this matter."

Huang Haoyi said without hesitation: "Of course it's Jinshi Zhai! Now there are 100 Jinshi in Guozijian, only 15 in Zhuke, and 11 in Mingjing. If you can have a Jinshi background, why go to Zhuke."

Zhang Yue said: "But I don't have a plan for poetry and prose."

Huang Haoyi smiled and said: "No one is born like this. People like me can enter the Taixue Jinshi Department, let alone Sanlang you?"

Zhang Yue glanced at Huang Haoyi and thought, here he comes again.

"I'll think about it again, let's go back to the inn first!"

Huang Haoyi said: "That's right, I'm going to move into Taixue today, what should I do if I leave Yulian alone. Can Sanlang trouble you to take care of me for the next two days!"

"What?"

Zhang Yue looked at Huang Haoyi and said in his heart, Shiro, your heart is big enough.

"Sanlang, you and I are so friendly, aren't you even willing to help me with these little favors?" Huang Haoyi said with some grievances.

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Silang, I can help you with anything, but only wives and concubines can't be entrusted to you."

Huang Haoyi said with a blank face: "Sanlang, what's the reason?"
