Chapter 151 Core of Volume B (Second update, please vote for me!)
The feast has been decided.
Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi left in a hurry, but it was no longer relevant to the overall situation.
Especially after Guan Yingzhen revealed the difference in attitudes between Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi to Wang Yongguang in a very subtle way, Wang Yongguang became even more determined. Chongzheng Academy must also follow the trend.
Even without this turmoil, Chongzheng Academy would not have been unaware of the changes in Tonghui Academy. Tonghui Academy, which was closely related to Long Jinwei, actually conveyed some of the emperor's intentions.
The excited students were busy almost all night. At this time, the strict discipline of the academy seemed to have no effect. However, Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen were not rigid and dogmatic people. As long as the students' behavior was not too outrageous, they did not interfere. .
Chen Qiyu and Fang Youdu are undoubtedly the two most proud people in the house. In the three debates, Xiyuan won 2 to 1, but Dongyuan was honored even though it was defeated.
No one cares about that anymore, they care more about their own performance.
Chen Qiyu and Fang Youdu both performed well, especially Fang Youdu.
For him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He realized the opportunity to show himself in front of the great sages and outstanding students from several academies. In other words, he became famous instantly, although the name still seemed a bit empty.
After glory, we have to return to reality. This grand event only enhances the reputation of Qingtan Academy and lays the foundation for attracting more outstanding students next year and the year after. Xia Ke Chun Wei, that is the real touchstone.
Feng Ziying thought silently when she saw Fang Youdu walking towards her with a red face.
Fang Youdu is really grateful to Feng Ziying.
He felt that in the more than ten years since he had lived, perhaps two things would have greatly changed his destiny. The first was to enter Qingtan Academy, and the second was to participate in this round of debate competition.
Needless to say, the whole county was shocked when he entered Qingtan Academy. The whole family watched him embark on his journey north with almost affectionate eyes.
Eleven taels of silver and 805 copper coins. This would be all his expenses for three years until autumn. It was also what the old father got after he sold the only two acres of paddy field at home and gave it all to himself.
This sustenance made him feel stressed.
He had to stand out. If Qiu Wei failed to pass the exam, he wouldn't even know how he would face his family.
From She County to the capital, he did not dare to take the land route. Instead, he took a boat from the Yangtze River and entered the capital along the canal.
Wash and clean the cabins for the boatmen on the boat along the way, in order to save costs to the maximum extent.
When he arrived in the capital, eleven taels of silver were still there, and only 327 copper coins of 805 coins were left. For a full month and a half, his hands had become calloused.
In the past three years, he has not planned to return to his hometown. He has neither time nor energy, nor enough money. After this year, even though he has been frugal, he has already spent two taels of silver.
No matter how poor and frugal Qingtan Academy is, the necessary expenses such as pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and some necessary books and scriptures are indispensable.
Fang Youdu feels that all these efforts are worth it. As long as he can pass the exam in the autumn of the next year, even if he cannot pass the exam in the spring, he can even wait for another ten or eight years.
Because as long as you win the imperial examination, your destiny has changed. As for wanting to win the imperial examination, it is more of a struggle for your own destiny.
But no one can be sure that he will be able to pass Qiu Wei. If he cannot pass, Fang Youdu doesn’t know if he still has the ability to stay and study for another three years. Maybe he can only return to his hometown sadly and rely on his status as a scholar to find a job in his hometown. A private school teacher's seat in the west was used to supplement the family's income.
This kind of imminent and huge pressure kept Fang Youdu in a state of mental and physical exhaustion, so when Feng Ziying appeared in the academy, he hated it extremely.
Why do these noble children who have a worry-free life still come to the academy to study? Even though Feng Ziying's extra efforts and self-discipline later changed Fang Youdu's opinion, he still had strong resistance deep in his heart.
All this happened until Feng Ziying came up with the idea of such a debate competition, and also strongly recommended him to participate in the preliminaries and eventually entered the Dongyuan Five-person Team.
Fang Youdu felt that God had favored him twice.
Not only was the reputation brought by the debate competition, but more importantly, he realized that this was the academy's targeted preparation for Qiuwei's current policy discussion, which meant that Qiuwei Chinese Academy had greater advantages. .
With such a competition experience, even if he really failed in Qiu Wei, Fang Youdu felt that he had a high chance of staying and participating in the next Qiu Wei, and even if he could not stay in Qingtan Academy, he was sure Go to an academy like Chongzheng or Tonghui to study for three years.
"Uncle Fang, what's wrong?" Feng Ziying could roughly feel the excitement and hidden things in Fang Youdu's eyes.
He has had too many experiences in his past and present lives. Even though he has gradually adapted to his current identity and role, many things in his past life are gradually forgotten, but many things have become subconscious intuitions.
"Uh, it's nothing, Ziying, thank you." Fang Youdu took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to express it.
"Uncle Fang, we are classmates. Isn't it a bit strange to say this? Besides, I didn't do anything." Feng Ziying smiled lightly and put one hand on each other's shoulders: "Don't think so much. Besides, it's really If you want to thank the mountain chief and the commander, and if you want to thank my little brother, how about you wait until Uncle Fang comes after your autumn Chinese ceremony?"
“Of course, I am a very shallow student, and as everyone knows, I have to rely on the help of our classmates in the past two years. Neither you nor Hu Chen can escape.”
Among the people in this dormitory, the two students with the deepest knowledge of classics and righteousness are Xu Qixun and Fang Youdu, two classmates from Jiangnan. One has a family tradition since childhood, and the other studied hard when he was young. The others are slightly inferior. Feng Ziying certainly does not. Will "let go" the two of them.
Chen Qiyu was also discussing something with Fu Zonglong. He turned around and said, "Ziying, I can't be of much help here. I have to work harder myself. By the way, Zhonglun is saying, if we want it again When engaging in this kind of debate, we can actually include the governance of mountainous areas in the Yunnan-Guizhou border area, but it’s a bit more troublesome to find relevant news in this regard.”
Obviously, this debate competition made Chen Qiyu much more energetic, and Fu Zonglong also realized his mistake of not participating, and began to make up for it.
"The chief of the mountain and the head of the hospital will definitely be able to find some relevant previous reports, but they may not be what we need. They will definitely have to go through a lot of screening, but this can be a direction." Feng Ziying smiled, "Why, Zhong Lun is still Are you more interested in what’s going on in your hometown?”
"Well, I always feel that sooner or later we will have problems there. Before I came to study, I heard that Bozhou, Shuixi, and Yongning Xuanweisi are like independent kingdoms, and they are in constant conflict with surrounding places, and they are getting more and more intense. Ziying also mentioned this a few days ago, and I have been thinking about it. The court cannot continue to tolerate **** and indulge in it. Sooner or later, it will have to solve such a serious problem. Can't we do something in this regard now? Discussion can be considered an attempt."
"Zhong Lun, you have thought deeply." Of course Feng Ziying would not dampen the other party's enthusiasm. "You can talk to the mountain chief and the chief to include this aspect. According to the wishes of the mountain chief and the chief, we have gone through more than a month this time. It has been nearly two months of preparation, but it is still too rough. Many problems are just scratched the surface. If you meet an expert, you will only make people laugh. So there will be such a big competition next year, so the requirements cannot be so low, so from now on It is completely feasible to start collecting relevant information now and treat it as a big topic."
The only memories I can recall are that there were a lot of troubles on the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan timeline.
It’s just unclear whether the Ming Dynasty became the Zhou Dynasty. Did this situation get better or worse, or did it remain the same? But Feng Ziying tends to think that even if there are changes, they may not be big, or they may all change for the worse.
With Feng Ziying's support and encouragement, Fu Zonglong also waved his hand vigorously, as if he had received great affirmation.
This change was formed unconsciously. Chen Qiyu and Fu Zonglong, who were originally the most unconvinced, gradually accepted this result, and others naturally stopped mentioning it.
Like Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng, they have gradually included Feng Ziying as the leadership of the entire Dongyuan, and they have to seek his opinions on many issues, but many people have not really realized this situation.
Feng Ziying knows her own affairs, so it’s time to rest.
This event is so popular that there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the aftermath, and Lian Guoshi also reminded him that it was time to calm down and study hard, and it would be more appropriate to leave other things to others.
I have already received too much.
As for the vacation promised by Guanzhangyuan, it’s better to endure it. There will be plenty of time in the future, and the Bingwu Year will be in one month. Wouldn’t it be better to take the spring break together?
************
“Your Majesty, I failed to handle this matter well...”
"Zhang Qing, needless to say, I don't blame you for this." A cold look passed through his eyes. Emperor Yonglong glanced at his son who was already trembling like a chicken in the cold wind, and forced himself to suppress it. Hold the anger within.
I really don’t blame Zhang Jingqiu. It was his decision to let Gu Bingqian go, but I didn’t expect that this guy would be so unbearable. And when my son encounters this kind of thing, he doesn’t have much experience, so it’s really difficult for him. It would be difficult for another person in that situation. Same thing.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Wei Chen feels that this matter is not necessarily a bad thing. Well, of course, what happened in the morning does not count. His Royal Highness Prince Shou also talked to me about the situation in the afternoon outside the palace. I think this may be a sign." Zhang Jingqiu's eyes were like ancient wells, but his words were very sharp, "Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, and Chongzheng Academy, maybe it's time."
“Oh?” Emperor Yonglong perked up, “Please tell me.”
"Actually, Your Majesty has noticed it, so why do you need to tell me the truth?" Zhang Jingqiu laughed, "His Royal Highness, Shou Wang, did a great job and persisted until the end. Tang Binyin is just a clown, just trying to sell out. Of course, if this guy has other plans, that's a different matter. If that's the case, I'll all admire this guy's courage."
Emperor Yonglong understood a little bit, but still didn't understand. He waved his hand and said, "Prince Shou, please go down."
As if he was pardoned, King Shou who was standing aside glanced at Zhang Jingqiu gratefully, saluted again, and quickly retreated.
"Qi Yongtai is very quiet and thoughtful. I'm afraid he wants to do something. Wei Chen thinks it's a good thing. Let's see how your majesty allows him to use him." Zhang Jingqiu's tone became sharper, "Tang Binyin is not worth mentioning. Although this person is knowledgeable, It is difficult to become a great weapon with an unstable mind. If it can be used by Your Majesty, it will naturally be a good thing. If not, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The trend is on Your Majesty's side. Prince Yohitada may be able to reap temporary benefits by doing this, but in the long run, It’s so powerful, what will the Supreme Emperor think?…”
Emperor Yonglong waved his hand, "Zhang Qing, I know what you mean, but I will not always be like this. I think many people don't like me to be like this, and it will disappoint many people. Since I am in this position, I cannot be like my elder brother. You play some dirty tricks, but you really have to do things in an upright manner."
Zhang Jingqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, has he decided?"
"I have already decided, but I have never wanted to go against my father's wishes. My father has always thought that my character is too tough. I hope to change this impression of my father, but now it seems that I have become some people. It’s an excuse to be aggressive,…”
Emperor Yonglong's expression became a little contemptuous.
Although I am very disdainful of the various tricks of my elder brother, this does not mean that I will despise the carelessness.
From the news coming from Ningshou Palace, the father seemed to be dissatisfied with his eldest brother's behavior, but he didn't say much.
If this situation is allowed to continue, maybe my father will have other ideas, so find the right balance to counterattack appropriately, but not let your father feel that you are too violent, or you may even have other ideas. This is the most difficult thing. .
Otherwise, if you are sitting in this position and cannot even cope with this, then you really should move your position.
It’s almost 4,000 words. Please give me a monthly pass. It seems that the total will be 10,000 words today!
