Li Hongbi?
The crown prince of Cao Guogong?
That new assistant professor at the Imperial College?
Looking at the disheveled Li Hongbi in front of him, Hu Yan was so angry that his face almost turned green.
He was still thinking that His Majesty the Emperor was always wise and mighty, and would never act without aim.
Your Majesty said that Li Hongbi was a talented man and he attached great importance to him, which proves that Li Hongbi may indeed be talented.
Even Hu Yan has some small expectations. After all, His Majesty asked him to train him well, and maybe he can become a master and apprentice.
However, Hu Yan never expected that the disciple His Majesty the Emperor chose for him would turn out to be such a vulgar bastard!
For a moment, Hu Yan was so angry that his face turned red and his beard stood on end!
"Are you Li Hongbi?"
Li Hongbi glanced at him blankly, and then looked at Ji Gang.
"This is Hu Yan, the Imperial Academy's liberator and lecturer at the Hanlin Academy."
Ji Gang is a good person who will do it to the end and explained it thoughtfully.
Then, he took Jin Yiwei and fled.
Li Hongbi stood there slightly embarrassed.
Ji Gang is a very rough guy and doesn't even give him time to change clothes.
So Li Hongbi was wearing a lining, and he had lost one of his shoes during his struggle just now.
Awkward!
Extremely embarrassing!
In full view of everyone, Li Hongbi died on the spot!
Ji Gang, Ji Gang, I have recorded this account, you wait for me!
Li Hongbi gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. Then he imitated those scholars, bowed his hands to Hu Yan and said in salute: "Young man, Li Hongbi, I have seen Hu offering wine."
After all, he is his immediate boss in the future, so the relationship must be well established.
But how did he know that Hu Yan's first impression of him was extremely bad!
Seeing the disheveled, frivolous and dissolute dude in front of him, Hu Yan turned around and left angrily.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would break his defense and beat this bastard up!
Master Jijiu has left, but the two clerks cannot leave yet.
Pan Yuebin and Rao Wenshu smiled bitterly and dispersed the students before looking at Li Hongbi.
"This...Prince Hongbi, please put on your clothes first and then talk!"
Pan Yuebin ordered someone to fetch the uniform of the Imperial College assistant teacher and handed it directly to Li Hongbi.
The ancients all paid attention to clothing and etiquette. Li Hongbi's current behavior is just like running naked in later generations. There is no difference.
It offends morals and morals, harms nature and justice, and harms integrity and righteousness...
Li Hongbi was not polite at all. After thanking him, he immediately put on his uniform.
The three of them introduced themselves to each other and became familiar with each other.
Li Hongbi took the initiative and asked Hu Yan why he was angry.
Rao Wenshu smiled bitterly and explained: "Yesterday, the Lord Jijiu entered the palace and was scolded by His Majesty the Emperor."
"According to the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor's words, he is preparing to revive the Imperial College, so today Master Jijiu summoned all the teachers and students of the Imperial College to give lectures. Assistant Professor Li..."
"Ahem, accident, purely accidental." Li Hongbi was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in!
Well now, on the first day at work, I offended my immediate boss to death!
Ji Gang, Ji Gang, why the hell are you waiting for me!
And that dog emperor!
"You two, there is still something unclear about Hongbi. Why has the Imperial College fallen into this state?"
Li Hongbi really didn't understand this.
In his memory, the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty was very famous!
In the 18th year of Yongle's reign, Emperor Gou moved the capital to Beijing and changed the Imperial College of Beijing to the Imperial College of the Capital. As a result, Chinese studies in the Ming Dynasty were divided into northern and southern Imperial Colleges (also known as Northern and Southern Imperial Colleges).
By the 20th year of Yongle's reign, there were nearly ten thousand students in Nanjing's Imperial College alone. It could be said that the monastery was full of families and the event was unprecedented!
Why does it seem that the Imperial College is in decline now based on what these two people are saying?
Pan Yuebin is an upright and honest man. He has an average background and average talents. He used to be a student of the Imperial College. After finally passing the historical examination and getting older, he simply asked to stay in the Imperial College and gradually climbed to the position of Siye. .
Therefore, Pan Yuebin has the most say in the history of the rise and fall of the Imperial College.
He explained these reasons in detail, and Rao Wenshu added a few words from time to time.
After listening, Li Hongbi suddenly realized.
No wonder, it turns out there is such a hidden secret.
The reason is that the Imperial College is no longer attractive to students from all over the world!
In the past, those scholars and scholars were vying to come to the Imperial College, mainly because it was a smooth path to becoming an official!
As long as you complete your coursework and don't behave like a jerk, you can obtain the qualifications to be an official. If you encounter a vacancy filled by the court or a special assignment, you can directly become an official!
However, with the continuous improvement of the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty, the main way for the court to select talented officials naturally became the imperial examination, and the proportion of Imperial College graduates entering official positions will naturally plummet!
If it's just like this, then that's it. Anyway, there is still a chance to become an official!
However, in the 29th year of Hongwu's reign, Emperor Taizu Gao implemented the system of reviewing students, which directly blinded these Imperial College students.
If Comrade Chongba makes such a change, the lives of the Imperial College students will be difficult.
The so-called "history" refers to the courses that all supervisory students must take and pass before taking up official positions, including cultural courses and practical links.
According to Comrade Zhu Chongba's idea, he gave the Imperial College students four years to study and cultivate virtue.
After a prisoner enters the Imperial College, he needs to spend one and a half years in the three halls of Zhengyi, Chongzhi, and Guangye to become familiar with Confucian classics; those who are good at arts and science can be promoted to the two halls of Cultivation and Chengxin to study history, which also takes another year and a half.
Those who are proficient in both classics and history, and who are excellent in arts and sciences can be promoted to Suixingtang. There is a test once a month in Suixingtang. Those with excellent results will be given one point, those with good results will be given half a point, those with poor results will not be given points, and the best candidates will be given one year. If you can get eight points, you will be regarded as passing. The study of cultural courses will be completed, and you can join the ranks of historical supervisors.
However, according to Pan Yuebin, very few people can complete all cultural courses in four years. Most students need to spend seven, eight, or even ten years to complete the above studies!
Then the Lishi Supervisor will go to the Liubu, Duchayuan, Dali Temple, Liuke, General Affairs Department, Guanglu Temple, Xingrensi, Jinyiwei, Fifth Military Governor's Office, Yumajian, Shangshusi and other major military and political offices in the central government. Work in the yamen and become a clerk, doing paperwork.
Comrade Chongba set the time for this step to be between three months and one year, with the purpose of allowing students to focus on practice and accumulate administrative experience in practice.
But in fact, this step will take at least two or three years, and Comrade Chongba has also arranged specific personnel to inspect these historical supervisors. Those with excellent academic performance can be promoted to officials in advance after completing their academic qualifications, and the rest who pass the examination will return to the supervisors to study. , listen to the selection.
In other words, Emperor Taizu Gao, who was wise and powerful, wanted to cultivate a group of smart and capable officials through the historical supervision system, and had made all the ideas and arrangements for them. They could become officials in just five years. Official.
However, the truth is that the first step alone will take the Imperial Academy students seven or eight years, and the second step will take another two or three years. If the two-step strategy is completed, it will take a full ten years!
Ten years to get an official qualification?
And this must be under the condition that everything goes smoothly, otherwise it will take even longer!
Brother, this is a bit outrageous!
Why, wouldn’t it be nice if I went directly to take the imperial examination?
Even the dogs didn’t come to the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty!
