early morning.
Li Hongbi arrived at the Imperial College early.
Walking into Guangye Hall, I saw three little ones reciting articles attentively.
There is no other way, the thief mentor gave them a death order. If they don't memorize the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, they will be beaten in the school during the day, and they will be beaten by their own father when they go back at night!
Zhu Yong and Qiu Song didn't dare to resist at all, but only Gu Xingzu seemed to be doing better.
But how can I imagine that this guy is not a son of a man and chases him directly into his mansion, shouting that he should beat him on behalf of his father!
Facts have proved that he, Li Hongbi, can do whatever he wants, and even His Majesty the Emperor cannot control him!
After all, this guy dares to brag to His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor also likes to hear his bragging!
"Good disciples, how are you memorizing the article?"
Li Hongbi asked with a smile.
The three little ones nodded quickly, fearing that they would be regarded as examples and be hung up and beaten.
"Very good. I'm very happy to be my teacher. Let's start writing an article today!"
When the three little ones heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
They really didn't expect that this thief would actually come for real.
Big brother, we are the sons of nobles. We still have a title waiting to be inherited at home. There is no need to take the imperial examination, right?
However, they can only think about this in their hearts because they are afraid of being beaten.
Li Hongbi's expression was very serious at the moment, with a bit of ferocity.
"Say the ugly things first!"
"If the three of you fail the examination, then don't blame your teacher for being unkind!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you that every one of you counts as one, and you can bury them wherever you kill them!"
As soon as these words came out, the three little ones were even more frightened and trembled, looking at Li Hongbi with horror on their faces.
"Now, tell me, master, are you confident?"
"Yes..." Qiu Song said timidly, while the other two were still stunned.
Li Hongbi was furious, slammed the desk, bulging his eyes and shouted: "Louder, are you confident?"
The three little ones hurriedly shouted in unison: "Yes! It will definitely win!"
"Very good, then it's settled!" Li Hongbi nodded with a smile.
"If anyone fails the exam and loses face as a teacher, he will be dead!"
The three little ones were trembling with fear. Only now did they realize that this dog thief was serious.
It seems that their arduous journey to school has just begun!
Li Hongbi looked at the three little ones and distributed the articles and poems written by Hu Guang on weekdays to let them get familiar with them first.
According to the rules of the Imperial College, the imperial students are eligible to directly participate in the examination, because the status of the imperial students is the same as that of the Juren. In other words, most of the students who enter the Imperial College have the title of Juren, and they are among the best in the local area. Only then are they qualified to enter the Imperial Academy to study and cultivate virtue.
Well, this set of rules is naturally of no use to the second-generation Xun and second-generation officials like Zhu Yong and Qiu Song.
Let alone the reputation of being a scholar, they don't even have the reputation of being a scholar now.
Therefore, you will definitely not be able to take part in the National Examination, but you can take part in the Yingtianfu Township Examination, and you will need to take the exam first!
Li Hongbi still knew the level of these three little ones, and he could only describe them as "crotch pulling".
Therefore, normal methods will definitely not work, so abnormal methods can only be used.
The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty is not yet perfect, and the eight-part essay is only a prototype and has not been fully implemented.
And this is precisely the opportunity for the three little ones.
Because someone has already done this, and the results are outstanding!
That is Jiangxi scholars, especially Jiangxi Ji'an scholars, who are famous as the main force in scientific examinations!
For example, Xie Jin, Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi... five of the seven cabinet ministers are from Jiangxi!
And this is just a microcosm of the Ming Dynasty imperial examination!
There is a famous saying in history, "Half of Jiangxi's imperial officials are half of Jiangxi, and there are many good fortunes in Hanlin."
According to historical records, in the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, more than 10,000 people were born in Jiangxi Province, with Ji'an and Nanchang having the most, accounting for more than half of the total number of people in Jiangxi Province.
Among the Jinshi in the first subject, students from Jiangxi Province showed astonishing talents in the imperial examination. During the entire Hongwu period, a total of 881 Jinshi in the Sixth Subject were recorded, and Jiangxi accounted for 147, second only to Zhejiang Province. Ranking second in Daming Province.
From the second year of Emperor Jianwen to the eighth year of Tianshun, a total of 5,090 Jinshi and others were admitted in the sixty-four years, and Jiangxi accounted for 1,000, which is equivalent to occupying less than half of the places.
The number of first-level Jinshi in Jiangxi is the same as that of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and is far higher than that of other provinces. So much so that there is a folk song to describe the grand occasion of Jiangxi's literati - "Three Jinshi in one discipline, two prime ministers across the river, three number one scholar in five miles." , Nine governors in ten miles, nine sons and ten governors."
The reason why Jiangxi has become the main force in the imperial examination is inseparable from the officials of the Jin gentry in Jiangxi.
Although they are not likely to leak exams or cheat or anything like that, they are still officials in the court after all. Don’t they still know what the format and regulations of the imperial examination are, and what rumors have been going on in the court recently?
In other words, Jiangxi students not only have a profound knowledge, but also know the rules of the imperial examination in advance and predict the direction in advance, so passing the examination is a matter of control.
That’s the good thing about having someone up there!
There is no one on Li Hongbi, but he knows how to solve questions!
How to write essays in a clever way, how to practice eight-part essay format, how to take exams and consider the examiner's preferences...
As the main force who has participated in the college entrance examination in later generations, Li Hongbi is not too familiar with this set of procedures!
Of course, he doesn't understand the Eight-Part Part Essay, but he still understands the specific format. The next three little ones only need to read Hu Guang's articles and those exam-oriented articles for Jinshi Juren, and then directly start to imitate them according to the Eight-Part Part Essay format. Isn’t it just a matter of using it as a reference to make an article?
Anyway, the content of the rural examination is all about the Four Books and Five Classics. As long as it is not too outrageous, everyone’s answers will be similar. Then the examiner will have to filter out the advantages from other places, and this is the opportunity for the three little ones!
"Starting from today, everyone must write one article, and tomorrow three articles, and so on. If you can't write it, then you will be punished!"
…
Cheng Guogongfu.
Zhu Yong didn't go home until midnight.
Zhu Neng and his wife have been sitting in the front hall, enduring until now, waiting for their precious son.
"Dad!"
"Help!"
"Then Li Hongbi wants to beat me to death!"
As soon as they heard their son's call, the couple hurried out immediately.
I saw my precious son crying while walking, but his walking posture was a little weird, as if his butt had been beaten hard again.
Mrs. Zhu's tears fell immediately, and she stepped forward and hugged her son.
"My son, you have suffered!"
Zhu Yong wiped his tears and said, "Dad, I won't go to the Imperial Academy anymore, even if I'm beaten to death!"
"That dog thief Li Hongbi is not a human being! He actually wants us to make a fuss. If we don't do it, he will be beaten again..."
When Zhu Neng heard this, he was stunned.
Composing an article?
Is your learning progress so fast?
"Dad, that thief is not a human being!"
"I don't want to take the Juren exam... Our family is already a Duke... There is no Juren exam... I don't want to study anymore..."
Zhu Yong forgetfully complained to Diao Zhuang, thinking that with his mother by his side, he would be able to do it this time.
As a result, after he finished his last sentence, Zhu Neng slapped the child in the face, knocking him unconscious.
"You rebellious son, how can you be so ignorant!"
"Hongbi, this is for your own good. It is your blessing to meet such a gentleman in your previous life!"
Zhu Yong: "???"
"Also, Hongbi is your husband and his father's third brother. What kind of 'dog thief'? Keep your mouth clean!"
Zhu Yong: "!!!"
