The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 120 Teach You the Worldly Skills
Zhang Zhou entered Jixian Hall amidst the hostility of the crowd.

Liu Shun, the assistant teacher of Guangyetang came out to see Zhang Zhou, and was still very surprised. The person in front of him couldn't be invited no matter what, but now he heard that there was a selection test for Gongsheng, so he came to the door with the cheek?

The point is, haven't you already obtained the qualification to be an alternate student?When you complete the three years of training, you will come out directly as a teacher, and you will get the position of teaching in prison that you dream of.

Still not satisfied?

"Assistant Liu, you won't be sick again when you come to see Lin Jijiu this time?"

Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.

Liu Shun asked, "That young master of the Zhu family didn't come with you?"

Liu Shun seemed to only be afraid of Zhu Feng, and looked down upon Zhang Zhou a bit.

"The next person came." Zhang Zhou said.

"Then just wait, I'll help you go in and have a look."

Liu Shun entered the teaching dormitory behind the Imperial College, apparently looking for Lin Han.

Zhang Zhou was standing in Jixian Hall, surrounded by portraits of famous Confucianists from past dynasties, as well as the life stories of these people, Zhang Zhou was about to go over to have a look.

Brother and sister Lin Ting heard that Zhang Zhou was coming, so they hurried to Jixian Hall to see him.

"Master Zhang, why are you here?" Lin Ting frowned.

The tone is questioning.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Didn't you always want me to come? Didn't I come here?"

Lin Tingdao: "But you are here to participate in Beiyong's virtuous promotion, so you will be criticized even more. At your age, you have just passed the Jieyuan examination, so you don't have to lower your status to participate in this kind of virtuous event."

It probably means that you, Zhang Zhou, are young, and you haven’t even passed the Jinshi exam once, so you just "willed to degenerate" and came to the selection exam for the prison and let you go to the official. If you are selected, is it Jiangnan Jieyuan? Didn't even take part in the meeting?
Saying that you have no ambition is an understatement, and others will think you are fooling around.

Zhang Zhou was also helpless.

Who made this so-called meritocracy tailor-made for me by the emperor?If I don't participate, the emperor can cancel this selection, and others will not be able to get a diploma with me.

In order to show that this selection is fair and just, the emperor will probably select a few more people besides me. I am creating opportunities for others.

"My father has always had a prejudice against you, you...you can do it yourself."

After Lin Ting finished speaking, he also turned around and headed towards the teaching dormitory.

Probably he wanted to talk to his father to prevent his father from getting too angry. With his son around, there would always be someone who could persuade Lin Han if he got angry again.

As soon as Lin Ting left, Lin Yi was left alone in Jixian Hall.

"Miss Lin? We meet again." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

Lin Yi was dressed in a Confucian robe, like a handsome Gong student, but she blushed when she heard the words, and she didn't dare to look at Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou instantly understood the reason for Lin Yi's disobedience.

Probably the incident in the palace had a great impact on her... The Empress Dowager actually mentioned to her face that she would be betrothed to Zhang Zhou. She didn't know the reason behind this, but she thought it was the Empress Dowager Zhou who really had such an idea.

"You... shouldn't have come."

When Lin Yi spoke, she lacked the aura of being a woman who refused to give way to her eyebrows before, and she was a little bit more shy like a little daughter.

Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, isn't it the purpose of your letter to me to participate in Beiyong's promotion of talents? If you can serve the court, why care about the situation? I don't care about participating in the general examination or directly promoting talents." accept."

Lin Yi also didn't understand.

Jiangnan Jieyuan... the gold content is so high, even if you fail the Jinshi exam once, it should be fine after two or three exams, right?
Did you give up without taking the test once?

This is completely different from the arrogance you showed to look down upon the world's students earlier.

……

……

Lin Han finally appeared in Jixian Hall, followed by Lin Ting, Liu Shun and other faculty and staff of the Imperial Academy.

Seeing her father coming, Lin Yi quickly hid aside, pretending to be transparent and standing aside to listen.

Lin Han sat at the main seat, as if waiting for Zhang Zhou to go up and salute.

Zhang Zhou stood on the spot.

There is no intention to move.

Liu Shun said: "Zhang Gongsheng, didn't you come to see Lin Jijiu? He is here!"

"Oh."

Zhang Zhou just nodded with a smile, meaning this was considered a greeting.

After all, Lin Han is an old pedant of Daming. In front of a junior who doesn't know etiquette, he is not ready to make a fuss. He said coldly: "Zhang Bingkuan? Ying Tianfu Township Examination Jie Yuan? It seems that you only know dogma, but don't know etiquette. "

"Ha ha."

Zhang Zhou smiled.

My etiquette is only shown to those who admire me. You old guy has disliked me from the very beginning, and you deliberately shut me down when you came here for the first time.

It's because everyone wants to manipulate me, so I don't have to mess around.

Others want to enter the Imperial College to be your student, but I don't have such an idea. I'm here today not to give you old man Lin face, but to give the emperor painstakingly set up a backdoor face.

Lin Han said again: "Go back."

Zhang Zhou said: "Then I will put my paper here?"

"Take them away together!" Lin Han said, "Given your background and personality, it is impossible for you to be selected by the Imperial College. You don't have the etiquette and demeanor of being a teacher, and you don't have the humility and prudence of an official!"

wipe!
Zhang Zhouxin said, Lin Han, is this a public revenge?

Seeing that I was not pleasing to the eye, they didn't even hand in my exam papers, and directly denied me.

You don't know that this selection is all because of me, without me there is no such selection, right?
Zhang Zhou understood the emperor's painstaking efforts. As Xiao Jing said, except for the emperor, Dai Yi and Xiao Jing who knew about it, even the two actual operators, Cheng Minzheng and Lin Han, the emperor did not directly inform them of their intentions.

The emperor deliberately opened a door of convenience and welcomed him, the rightful lord, in.

In the end, he, the righteous master, was stopped by the gatekeeper.

See what this means, let the dog bite.

Zhang Zhou didn't feel annoyed, but just reminded with a smile: "Lin Jijiu, as the saying goes, there is no distinction between teaching and learning, even if you don't like me and think I am not suitable for studying in the Imperial College, shouldn't you give me a chance? "

Lin Han finally felt complacent.

He thought it was Zhang Zhou's grasp.

Lin Han said: "Zhang Bingkuan, don't think that this old man doesn't know what you did before. You have gained fame and some favors, but as a tribute student, you can't put your studies first. If this old man is a virtuous person in the world, you will surely Let you learn more Confucian etiquette, it has nothing to do with your talent!"

Zhang Zhou thought about it.

Makes sense? !

Sure enough, this old guy has been engaged in education all his life, so he probably has high requirements on the moral character of students.

Zhang Zhou and Lin Han are both faculty members, so it was a bit pleasing to hear.

If there is a student who doesn't know etiquette, likes to argue with the teacher in class, often skips classes, and never sees each other, no matter how good he is in his studies, he will definitely not consider any chances such as recommendation.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Lin Jijiu, as the Jijiu of the Imperial College, should know that this is the intention of the Holy Majesty. As far as I know, His Majesty's decree clearly states that all tribute students from Juren are eligible to participate. This is the King's order. Since Lin Jijiu is a minister, is this going against the holy will?"

"you……"

Lin Han thought that he had absolute control over him, so he didn't need to talk nonsense with Zhang Zhou, and just sent Zhang Zhou away, so that he could vent his anger.

But after listening to Zhang Zhou's words, he realized that this kid is difficult to deal with.

Actually take the emperor's imperial decree as an example.

After all, Lin Han is someone who has experienced big scenes. He said: "The old man said, you can't be selected, so don't fight in vain."

Zhang Zhou argued hard: "If my talents and learning are not recognized by the court, then I will accept my fate, but if I lose this opportunity just because some of my conduct is not appreciated by Lin Jijiu, then Lin Jijiu is abolishing the public because of personal interests, and deciding the future of others based on your personal likes and dislikes is not only contrary to His Majesty's original intention of selecting talents, but also makes people criticize Lin Jijiu's open-mindedness as a teacher."

The scene was full of gunpowder.

The surrounding faculty and staff were also dumbfounded.

Since the founding of the Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty, I have never seen any Gongsheng who dared to confront the Imperial Academy so head-on.

"Hehe." Lin Han suddenly laughed, with a sense of ridicule, he got up and walked in front of Zhang Zhou and said, "Zhang, I still appreciate you very much. If you speak out, you have the style of admonishing, but the Imperial College is People like you can't be tolerated. Let me tell you that you will never be selected. "

"Not necessarily?" Zhang Zhou responded with a smile.

"If you are not selected, will you not be admitted to Beiyong in the future? You can also be deprived of the title of Xuezheng of the Imperial College?"

"Okay." Zhang Zhou said, "What if I choose? Lin Jijiu isn't going to bet on anything?"

Lin Han seemed to look down on Zhang Zhou's unrestrained character, and said, "If you are selected, the old man will let you enter Beiyong and give you good advice."

"If I can't be elected, I won't enter Beiyong. If I am elected, I don't need to enter Beiyong. What's the point of Lin Jijiu saying this? How about this?" Zhang Zhoulang said, "If I can't be elected, from now on Don't step into the gate of Guozijian anymore, if I am selected, Lin Jijiu will promise me a condition that does not violate morality and etiquette, what does Lin Jijiu think?"

Everyone is laughing.

They probably felt that Zhang Zhou was overreaching.

Lin Han said, "I accept it!"

Then he walked up to Zhang Zhou and said in a low voice, "This old man will teach you what is sophistication!"

After speaking, he turned around and headed towards the teaching dormitory at the door.

Zhang Zhou, however, refused to give up, and challenged Lin Han's back: "Okay, Lin Jijiu, you want to teach me the ways of the world, and it happens that I also have some ways of the world here, and I want to ask you for advice, as for who will teach whom, it is not certain. "

Lin Han walked out without stopping.

Liu Shun didn't leave, and came over to look at Zhang Zhouzhou coldly and said: "Zhang Gongsheng... No, you are no longer Gongsheng, you, you, Lin Jijiu is for your own good, so that you can restrain your mind, and there may be some more in the future." Achievement. You insist on being like Lin Jijiu... do you really not understand or pretend to understand?"

"Even if it is the Hanlin in the museum who examines the articles of the prison, as long as Lin Jijiu has a word, you should be selected, and you have no chance to be listed! This is not an imperial examination, and it has nothing to do with the reasons for your articles to be good or bad. That's the reason." It's the way of the world."

"Well said." Zhang Zhou patted Liu Shun on the shoulder, "This is not an imperial examination! If this is Chunwei, I would not say that if I want to seal it off!"

After Zhang Zhou finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Yi, who was in a daze at this moment.

"Miss Lin, see you next time! Haha."
