Half a month later.
A low-key and luxurious carriage entered the city from Nanxunmen. The person sitting in the carriage was none other than Ding Wei, who had returned from Hangzhou.
When he returned to Beijing this time, Ding Wei chose another way of travel.
Sea route!
He set out from Hangzhou Port, took a boat to Dengzhou, and then transferred to the capital by land.
This line has the fastest time.
As for the safety of ships at sea, Ding said there is no need to worry at all.
Not to mention that the route from Hangzhou to Dengzhou is offshore, with a clear route and almost no risks. Moreover, Ding Wei was not on an ordinary sea-going ship.
It is the latest 2,000-material sea-going ship produced by the shipyard. It is about 60 meters long and 13 meters wide.
In the offshore range, there is almost no danger of capsizing for such a huge ship.
certainly.
It seems that there are not many large ships of this kind. Ding Wei has been cautious for several years, how could he fail because of this little thing?
He is not abusing his power by taking this ship.
This ship was originally going to sail from Hangzhou Port to Goryeo, but Ding Wei only slightly modified the departure time.
Strictly speaking, he was riding a smooth sailing boat this time.
have to!
have to!
The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone road of the capital, making a crisp and sweet impact sound.
"Master Prime Minister, please have tea."
In the car, the old servant Ding Rui brought the hot tea that had just been brewed to Ding Wei.
"Leave it alone for now."
Ding Wei waved his hand, then opened the curtains and looked at the scenes on both sides of the street.
Looking out the window at the rows of houses, the clean streets, and the orderly pedestrians, Ding Wei couldn't help but sigh.
What a big change.
Previously, although Jingzhong was also very prosperous, Nanxun Street was very messy. Every shop along the street would have a part of it added.
Each family has their own ideas, and the result is that there is no plan and it looks messy.
However, things are very different now.
Although the street invasion still exists, it has order.
Once everything is in order, everything will become much more harmonious.
After watching the street scene outside for a while, Ding Wei suddenly spoke up.
"Change the route and go check out the house in the outer city."
"yes."
Although Ding Rui didn't know why, the master was the boss of the family. He knocked on the wooden board in front and then opened a small window above.
"My master ordered me to go to the house in the outer city."
Ding said that there were two houses in Beijing, one in the inner city and one in the outer city.
Li Dingwei usually lives in the inner city. After all, the inner city is closer to the palace and is more convenient for daily life.
After a while, the carriage turned around and walked straight along Nanxun Street. It turned right near the Temple of King Wucheng and passed by the Imperial College and the Imperial College.
Then go to Shuigou Street and turn left. After driving for another seven or eight minutes, you will arrive at Ding Wei's house in the outer city.
Opposite this house is the mansion that Taizong gave to King Qianchu of Wuyue.
Of course, Qian Chu is dead now.
Qian Weiyan and others don't live here either. People of the Qian clan only come here during festivals, firstly to worship their ancestors and secondly for gatherings.
When passing by the Imperial College, Ding Wei happened to lift the curtain, ready to see what the Imperial College had become now.
Then, he suddenly saw a person. ….
Is that person Fan Zhongyan?
Of course Ding Wei would never forget Fan Zhongyan.
After all, this person is highly regarded by officials.
However, there was one thing he was curious about. Why was Fan Zhongyan still in the Imperial College three years later?
At the same time, Fan Zhongyan also happened to look at the moving carriage, and their eyes met in the air.
The moment he saw Ding Wei, Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded towards Ding Wei, which was regarded as saying hello from afar.
"Mr. Fan?"
On the side, a young scholar saw Fan Zhongyan suddenly stop and couldn't help but stop.
"Nothing, just seeing an acquaintance."
"By the way, Shoudao, where did we just talk?"
Hearing this, Shi Jie reminded: "Sir, I just said that you should go to the palace to give lectures in the afternoon."
Shi Jie was admitted to the Imperial Academy from Yanzhou Prefecture School last year. He was able to take Fan Zhongyan as his teacher, on the one hand because of his outstanding talent and learning, and on the other hand because of Wang Zeng's recommendation.
When Wang Zeng was an official in Yanzhou, his greatest contribution was the expansion of the state school and the establishment of the Sanshe system based on the Yingtianfu school.
At that time, Shi Jie maintained the first place in the college with excellent results all year round, which naturally attracted Wang Zeng's attention.
However, Shi Jie's ability to enter the Imperial College had little to do with Wang Zeng. He was admitted based on his own talent and learning.
Shi Jie is a native of Fengfu County, Yanzhou. His sixth generation ancestor migrated from Cangzhou in the Tang Dynasty and has settled here ever since.
His father, Shi Bing, was a master of the Spring and Autumn Annals, and he understood the three schools of thought (the three chapters of the Spring and Autumn Annals). In the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, he passed the imperial examination and became the crown prince.
Like father, like son. Shi Jie was deeply influenced by his father and had great insights in "Spring and Autumn".
In recent years, coincident with the reform of the imperial examination system, emphasis has been placed on policy theory, while poetry has been neglected.
For scholars like Shi Jie who specialize in Confucian classics, this is undoubtedly a great benefit.
If it hadn't been for the restructuring, it would have been difficult for Shi Jie to stand out from Yanzhou Prefectural School and be admitted to the Imperial College.
Without being admitted to the Imperial College, of course Shi Jie would not be able to get to know Fan Zhongyan.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them walked and talked about Confucian classics.
As the saying goes, among three people, there must be a teacher. Although Fan Zhongyan was Shi Jie's teacher, he didn't mind discussing knowledge with his students.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the gate of the Imperial College.
"gentlemen!"
At this moment, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old was running towards Fan Zhongyan with a happy face.
"gentlemen."
"Senior brother."
The young man ran closer, straightened his clothes a little, and then made a cross-hand salute to the two of them in turn.
Seeing the young man panting, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but said dumbly.
"An Dao, after all, you are also Imke's Tanhualang, why are you still so frizzy?"
This young man was none other than Zhang Fangping, who had been studying for three years in Zhihe. Although he only ranked second in this subject, he could not stand up to his young age.
Zhang Fangping is nineteen years old this year and is the youngest person to pass this subject.
"hey-hey."
Zhang Fangping said with a silly smile: "Didn't I see you sir?"
Speaking of which, Zhang Fangping and Fan Zhongyan have indeed not seen each other for a long time.
The two met at Yingtian Academy. Since Fan Zhongyan was transferred from Yingtian Academy, the two of them have met much less frequently.
Some time ago, when Zhang Fangping came to Beijing to take the exam, he originally planned to visit Fan Zhongyan.
Unfortunately, Fan Zhongyan's mother fell ill at that time, and Fan Zhongyan, who was worried about his mother, took family leave and went home to visit his mother.
It wasn't until Fan's mother's health improved that Fan Zhongyan returned from leave.
On the other side, seeing the childish Zhang Fangping, Shi Jie had a look of envy in his eyes.
The most energetic scholar in Beijing these days is the young junior brother in front of me.
At the age of nineteen, I was really proud of my horse's hoofs.
I don’t know if I can pass the exam.
