The Song Dynasty's solution was very deep.
The imperial court has also been exploring how to fairly select scholars from local areas.
At first, the imperial court asked prefecture and county chiefs to supervise the interpretation of the examination, but the prefecture and county chiefs who governed the local areas could easily collude with local powerful people to influence the results of the examination.
Therefore, the court was also depressed, and some court officials criticized it.
In some places, candidates who passed the interpretation test five or six times went to Beijing to take the provincial examination but failed one after another. He thought there was something wrong with it, but when he saw the candidates' essays, they were badly written, even if they were written randomly, they would not be like this.
How did such a waste material pass the interpretation test five or six times in a row and come to the imperial court to take the provincial examination? He hopes that local officials can "block the door for abuse and open the way for success."
In response to this move, the imperial court stipulated that once candidates were found to have "ten failings in all subjects" or "jinshi mistakes", they would not be allowed to take the exam again, and at the same time, they would be strictly held accountable for their crimes.
At the same time, let the supervisory department supervise the prefecture and county examinations.
This move makes the interpretation slightly more fair, but only slightly.
Lu Zhen, a famous minister during the reign of Zhenzong, once did this. After the exam was completed, the rankings were all arranged.
Lu Zhen ran to the examination place, opened the papers one by one and said, "Why don't you see Xiang Changtang's papers?"
As a result, Lu Zhen discovered that he failed and was not on the admission list. Lu Zhen immediately promoted Xiang Changtang to the first place and removed him from the last place. When the officials of the Song Dynasty heard about this, they all thought there was nothing wrong with this operation and praised Lu Zhen for "recruiting scholars based on their literary conduct".
Indeed, it cannot be said that this move was wrong in the Song Dynasty.
The scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty still had the tradition of advocating village elections, and this rule can be traced back to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. Talents are selected through people rather than examinations.
Because Confucianism advocates the rule of man and emphasizes the method of selecting wise men by wise men. However, the imperial examination is equivalent to setting a standard. This is the method of Legalism. Does good writing mean that you are a good official? Does someone who drives a good car have to be a good person?
But such a result can only lead to "candidates have many false reputations, please ask the examiner, the state only recommends old people, and not one new person is selected".
This is inconsistent with the Song Dynasty's national policy of "strengthening the branches and strengthening the branches". Strengthening the branches and weakening the branches is to transfer power from the localities to the central government.
The most critical ones are financial power, military power, and the right to select talents.
Choose capable men from local areas, not wise men in the eyes of officials. Advocating one set of rural elections can only repeat the mistake of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, "There are no poor families in the upper class, and there are no noble families in the lower class."
Therefore, the Song Dynasty fully implemented the name-blinding and transcription system in the subsequent reform of examinations, and transferred officials from other states and counties to supervise the examinations.
In the seventh year of Jiayou's reign, when the Jingzhao Prefecture held the exams, Zhang Dun, who was transferred to Fengxiang Prefecture, and Su Shi from Shangzhou went to the local area to invigilate the exams. As a result, the two had a formal relationship and forged a lifelong 'friendship'.
Is this a fair move?
I have to admit that it is more fair, but there is still no way to take advantage of people who can really take advantage of the loopholes.
The imperial examination system in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was more rigorous than that in the Song Dynasty, but major cases of fraud in the imperial examinations were repeatedly banned, and a large number of official candidates continued to do so.
And even if it seems fair, it's still unfair.
For example, if there are less than 2,000 candidates for the Imperial College Examination, 600 candidates will be admitted, and the admission ratio is three to one. It seems that this ratio is very high, but the children of officials like Han Zhongyan are not allowed to pass the exam.
The admission rate of the Imperial College's special examination is very high, and it can reach one candidate for two candidates.
There are many children of officials among Taipei students and Guangwenguan students, and all officials' children can participate in the special examination.
For example, if a thousand officials' children take part in the special examination, the 600 quota will be reduced to 500, leaving 800 or 900 people competing for 100 places.
This invisibility lowered the admission ratio of students from poor families. Instead of selecting one out of three, one out of five or six, or even one out of eight or nine.
In other words, the probability of choosing one out of three is a bit like the average salary between me and Lei Jun.
But even if one of the eight or nine people is selected, it will be much better than the test in Fujian and Zhejiang.
Unfairness can be said to exist everywhere. Some people may think that why the admission rate of officials’ children in the special examination is so high. They are all born to the same parents. Is it fair at all?
But in the Song Dynasty, the other exams actually protected the children of poor families. This cannot but be said to be an irony.
Therefore, after the epidemic subsided, the students of Taipei University became busy.
What are you busy with?
That is, they are busy making imperial edicts to the magistrates, and there are even officials who have office in the library.
Because in the past, the Imperial College Examination was handled by the chief examiner of the Imperial College independently. However, in the second year of Chunhua, Emperor Taizong transferred Zuo Sijian to Xie Mi of the History Museum to take charge of the matter. From then on, the chief examiners of the Imperial College had to come from the three halls. Selected from the Secret Pavilion and became a routine.
There are so many officials in the Secret Pavilion of Zhisan Hall that no one knows who they are until a few days before the exam, so they all have to pass the exam.
Therefore, Zhang Yue, Huang Haoyi, Fan Zuyu, Huang Lu, and Sun Guo have been busy copying several articles and poems that they usually have in hand these days.
Among the five people in Tongzhai, Fan Zuyu and Huang Haoyi participated in the special examination.
Yes, Huang Haoyi participated in the special examination. His cousin Huang Haoxin is now the magistrate of Xincai County. His uncle Huang Xiaoxian served as Dr. Taichang and judged Shizhou.
The standard for other examinations could include officials' meritorious service and relatives. In the Shenzong Dynasty, even retainers were included in the standard.
Therefore, it was a way out for Zhang Yueruo to work as a book boy for Chen Shengzhi's nephew.
It’s okay for Fan Zuyu to take part in the exam, but Huang Haoyi can also take part in the exam. Sun Guo feels a little unbalanced in his heart. Why can he do it but I can’t?
As for whether Zhang Yue can participate in the special examination?
cannot.
Zhang Yu is his uncle and is not among the great meritorious deeds. There is nothing he can do if he wants to take advantage of it. Of course I can benefit from it, but there is a high probability that I won’t go.
As for the Wu family, this is not yet considered a son-in-law. Of course, if Zhang Yue were to beg shamelessly, the Wu family might have a way to allow him to take part in the special examination.
But...but why do I want to take this step?
Whether it is a special examination or a written test, there are external rules. Life is about finding a balance between the external rules (Da Yong) and the inner self (Ming Ti). Never forget that you...you have flaws.
Therefore, there was a way to go there, so Zhang Yue decided... to go with everyone to write the papers.
Fan Zuyu, Huang Haoyi and others still had to write the papers even though they were taking part in the special examination.
However, their writings are somewhat different from those of the poor family members. Fan Zuyu's uncle was Naifan Zhen. He could be brought directly to his home to submit papers by his elders or through referrals from others.
As for Han Zhongyan? The examiners are all appointed by his father. According to the rules at the time, after the examiner was confirmed, he would take the post to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express his gratitude.
Generally, in order to avoid suspicion, Han Qi would not meet him, and he would also say that he was recruiting talents for the country and was completely selfless. The most important thing is to say a few words: Don't take care of Han Zhongyan just because he is my son. You must do things based on the principles of fairness, openness and justice.
"Shiro-kun, this is the pig brain soup that my mistress has cooked for you. Drink it quickly!"
In Taixue, a servant of Huang Haoyi's sister-in-law's family brought him pig brain soup.
In the past few days, my bedmate has been watching Huang Haoyi take supplements.
But seeing Huang Haoyi sucking and slurping like eating tofu, and seeing everyone's gaze, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you want a bite?"
If you really mean it, you won’t ask after everyone has finished drinking.
Everyone turned their heads to collect the papers. The implication was, you are busy.
After Huang Haoyi finished eating the pig brain soup and when the sun turned west, Zhang Yue and others went to write the scroll.
In addition to several classmates, Zhang Yue also invited Guo Lin to join him.
There are also different articles in the examination papers. For example, if you want to take the system examination, or if you want to examine officials with two or more systems, you must write 50 articles.
If it is an ordinary volume, a scholar with financial resources can certainly send fifty chapters, but generally it is not necessary to send so many, just select the outstanding ones.
For example, Su Shi's "Book of Prime Ministers on Shangfu" wrote that among the 50 poems on policy and policy, I couldn't write them all because I wanted to cut them off.
As Su Che sent Zeng Gongliang to Zeng Gongliang's "Shang Zeng Shenzheng Shu", there are twelve chapters of "Lun Dynasties", ranging from the Three Kings to the Five Dynasties. The rise and fall of the rule of law can be summarized here. There are only twelve chapters in Su Zhe's Xingjuan.
Therefore, fifty articles is the rule. As long as you are not seeking to be recommended for examinations, you do not need to fill them all.
Ru Zhangyue wrote less than twenty articles.
It was hot summer at this time, so Zhang Yue, Huang Haoyi and others first went to an official's house to submit papers.
Why choose to go in the evening? Because officials are usually at home at this time, there is a great chance to see them. During the day, they usually go to the Yamen on errands.
When they arrived at the official's door, several people presented the papers first. The doorman took one look at them and said, "You guys wait."
After saying that, Menzi turned around and left.
Several people were waiting in front of the door.
There are more and more writings, and different officials have different styles.
Some people meet and talk for a few words, which usually means they value you, and come back after a few days. This is called a warm interview.
If you don't see me, I will let you in for a bowl of tea, as a courtesy.
There are also options like 'go back and wait for notification', which usually goes without saying.
Don't feel too embarrassed. Chen Shunyu, Zhang Fangping, Zeng Gong, Su Shi, and Su Che have all written and edited articles, and a large number of written and written articles have been handed down.
For example, Zeng Gong's "The First Book of Ouyang Bachelor", Su Xun's "The First Book of Ouyang Neihan", and Su Che's "The First Book of Han Taiwei, the Privy Councilor" are all articles that can be read repeatedly.
Zhang Yue and the other five waited for a while.
But when he saw the servant, he went out with a smile on his face and said, "Please come inside!"
Several people were overjoyed.
Soon a few people went out, but none of them spoke.
Huang Lu thought to himself that this was all because of Saburo, otherwise it would not have been so easy to see.
Huang Haoyi also understood what he was thinking. Just now, Dr. Huang repeatedly asked about Sanlang's article, which made us all become foils. Fortunately, Sanlang was here, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get in.
Sun Guo thought to himself, this is the benefit of fame. In the past, after Chen Ziang smashed a thousand-gold harp, his articles were known all over the city. By then, no prince or minister would miss this strange man. Nowadays, Sanlang's Qingyu Case, Ci Tongsan Chuan, and his three-character poem are all famous in the capital, so his reputation must have spread to all the officials.
Guo Linze also expressed his emotion about Zhang Yue's greatness.
Everyone knew it deep down, but they were embarrassed to mention it.
This is the benefit of reputation. Otherwise, why would scholars who come to Beijing have to "please ask the examiner to gain more false reputations."
At that time, there were no headlines or Douyin push notifications. How could your articles reach officials’ desks directly?
That is the word "reputation", which is like why you like to read highly praised articles, because it can help you reduce the cost of information judgment.
Only when you have a reputation will the officials know about you. Only then will the officials read your articles if you come to take the exams. They will then check based on the articles to see if you received likes, and finally decide not to see you. Otherwise, there will be so many candidates taking the exams. The officials will Being so busy, the paper was easily lost among the crowd.
If the official is satisfied, he can recommend a few words to others, just like when he meets a boss like Ouyang Xiu and praise him a few words, his reputation will become even louder.
This is a one-two, two-three approach.
This was the way that humble scholars with no connections used to promote themselves during the Tang and Song dynasties. Chen Ziang's smashing Qianjinqin is very effective, of course, the premise is that his talent must be excellent.
Several classmates took advantage of Zhang Yue's reputation to help their articles reach officials' desks.
Of course, not every official will meet, but using Zhang Yue's name can go a step further.
The next day Zhang Yue and the others went to write the papers again.
One month before the Taixue Li exam, almost no one was studying, and most of the Taixue students were busy doing the examination papers.
Zhang Yue looked at the sun that had just risen and couldn't help but sigh. The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was at the stage of inheriting the past and linking up with the future. It not only retained the legacy of the Tang Dynasty's "xingjuan", but due to the name-blinding system, the custom had not been corrupted to the point of "passing the list". situation.
At the same time, destiny is not decided solely by the essays in the examination room. There are many "clearances" in the examination, even semi-open.
It seems that only the provincial and palace examinations can be truly 'fair'.
Today is another day of pilgrimage.
On this day, Zhang Yue and the others came to Fu Bi's house and saw that there was already a long queue.
In addition to many scholars who are writing books, there are also officials who come to the prime minister's house to handle affairs.
When it comes to the season of provincial examinations, there must be a lot of candidates coming to take the warm-up papers at the houses of prime ministers like Han Qi and Fu Bi.
Although the chance that Han Qi and Fu Bi, the two prime ministers of the country, will read your article is extremely low.
But if someone wants to meet you and you can say a few words, the examiner will definitely look up to them, and even provincial exams will be helpful.
When Su Shi and Su Che took the provincial examination in the second year of Jiayou's reign, Han Qi said, "How come there are so many people coming to take the examination when Da Su and Xiao Su are here."
Any advertisement that costs thousands of dollars can't be compared to this sentence.
The higher the official gate, the more scholars will write in front of the gate. As for the official elementary school, no one comes.
Lu You has a poem, "There has been no warm-hearted guest outside the door for a long time, but there are warm official letters on the shelf." It means that when you are not proud, there is no one to warm the guest.
Several people waited in front of the door for a while, and finally followed the long queue and handed the roll bag to the doorman.
After knowing that they were imperial students, the disciple at the Prime Minister's Mansion still said politely: "The Prime Minister may not be available, so please come back."
Huang Haoyi said: "Please give me a meeting with Mr. Xiang."
Everyone understood that if he left now, he would definitely not be able to see him again, but there was still a chance to stay.
Menzi said: "Since you are so persistent, just wait here, maybe there will be another opportunity."
The door immediately directed them to sit in the foyer. But when I saw that there were many scholars sitting in the foyer, there were even a few people squatting on the threshold.
After waiting for a moment, I saw two people striding forward.
Sun Guoqi said: "Isn't this Wang Kui, He Qi?"
Everyone saw that it was these two people.
But seeing He Qizheng chatting and laughing with Wang Kui, looking complacent, it looked like he had probably met Fu Bi. There was a man who looked like a wealthy official beside them, who was obviously sending the two of them off.
Only then did Zhang Yue remember that Wang Kui seemed to have been to Fu Bi's house and had some friendship with him. Therefore, it is almost certain that He came to Fu Mansion to be introduced by Wang Kui.
Needless to say, Wang Kui is talented. He Qixian made Wang Kui famous through his own connections. After Wang Kui became famous, he came back to help He Qi.
If others would only take advantage of powerful people, how could they pick blue chip stocks and bet on them first?
Therefore, in terms of this kind of exploration and this vision, He Qi is really amazing, and he can be called an agency.
He Qi glanced outside the foyer and looked at the group of waiting people with a bit of disdain.
However, when He Qi saw Zhang Yue from the crowd, he couldn't help but was stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
He Qi thought to himself, it seems that this boy has not been connected to the Wu family. Otherwise, if he was recommended by the Wu family, why would he come here and sit here with everyone and wait.
Thinking of this, He Qi said to Wang Kui: "Brother Junmin, Zhang Sanlang and the others are also here."
Wang Kui looked at him and said, "Yes, why didn't they come with Brother He, so that they could be introduced to Mr. Fu Dalang for you all?"
It turns out that He Qi and Wang Kui did not see Fu Bi. I just met Fu Shaoting, the eldest son of Fu Bi.
"Oh, they don't have such luck either. Let's ask." He Qi walked to the foyer immediately, saw Zhang Yue and the others and smiled, "Sanlang, are you also here to write the papers? If I had known this, I would have come all the way."
Zhang Yue knew that He Qi was smiling at him. Huang Lu said at the side: "Brother He came on foot, and we came in a carriage, how could we be together?"
He Qi smiled and said: "What's the difference between carriage and walking? Can't we both reach the prime minister's house in the end? The most important thing is whether we can meet the rich husband."
"Oh, is it possible that Brother He saw it?"
He Qi said with a smile: "The rich husband and nobles are so busy, how can I be blessed? But the rich man did not give up and gave me the honor to meet him. By the way, Brother Zhang, Brother Huang, do you have any connections? If not, do you want me? A helping hand is needed.”
Everyone sitting in the foyer waiting must have no way out, which is completely different from Wang Kui taking them through the door.
What He Qi said was undoubtedly a means to divide everyone. Everyone knew that Zhang Yue and He Qi were at odds and would not agree, but even if they did not agree, the seeds of dissatisfaction with Zhang Yue had already been planted.
He Qi is really a villain.
…
Just then, a person came inside and asked, "Who is Zhang Xiucai? I'm inviting you inside."
The other party named several other people.
The Iranians all looked envious, and the expression on He Qi's face changed.
Zhang Yue responded, and said as he walked past He Qi: "I'm afraid I will let down Brother He's good intentions."
He Qi's face turned blue and purple, looking very good.
"Brother He is a righteous man. I'll take the first step and talk about it another day." Huang Lu saluted He Qi.
"Brother He, please worry." Huang Haoyi also clasped his fists.
"It's thanks to Brother He," Sun Guoyan said.
Finally, Guo Lin nodded to He Qi: "Thank you, Brother He."
After everyone left, He Qi couldn't help but turn around and said: "How dare they..."
The visitor smiled and said, "Please come this way."
Immediately the other party led the way, and soon the five people were brought to a courtyard, where they saw a man in brocade clothes waiting here.
After meeting a few people, the other party smiled and said, "I am Fu Shaoting. I have met all the gentlemen on behalf of my father."
Several people hurriedly saluted and said, "I have met the rich man."
Everyone was relieved. Fu Bi was now a bachelor of Zhaowen Palace, also known as Zhaowen Xiang. He was one person below ten thousand people and ranked first among hundreds of officials. How could it be so easy to see him? It was quite a feat to meet someone else's eldest son. I have gained face, and it can be said that the trip was worthwhile.
Fu Shaoting asked everyone to sit down and said a few words that benefited everyone.
Then Fu Shaoting read several people's articles in person.
The writing process is also very particular.
For example, when a running scroll is given to the ministers of the two systems, Su Zhe's "Shang Liang Zhi Zhu Gong Shu" is used as a preface to the running scroll article. The implication is that it is a preface to each minister of the two systems.
But you can't write like this to Privy Councilor Zaizhi.
For example, "Shangzai Zhi Shu", this kind of beginning is usually intended to curse people, rather than running the scroll.
Therefore, Zhang Yue wrote the preface to Fu Bi as "Shang Zhao Wen Xiang Shu", which must be listed separately to show respect, and not included in the prime ministers.
Moreover, whenever the words "Zhao Wenxiang" are mentioned in the full text of the article, they must be written directly on the top of the line. This is called "flat lifting", which is the most respectful format for writing.
The flat-lift (line-break) format existed in the Tang Dynasty, and is a more respected writing format than the no-lift (one space) format.
Of course, the horizontal writing method is very paper-consuming, but Fu Bi is worthy of this format.
Fu Shaoting read Zhang Yue's preface: "Today's emperor, in order to recruit the world's scholars, has the same method as the six great masters. He may win occasionally, or he may not win occasionally. Those who fail to win must not complain." The winner is said to be lucky, but the unlucky is accidental. The so-called six subjects are used to guide the world's scholars, which is even worse. It's like a shooting technique. However, the six questions must be written in a group of books, with mysterious and trivial words, and they are added to each other and separated to create a difficult situation. If you are lucky, you know that you are the winner; if you are unlucky, you don't know; if you don't know, you are not selected...'
Fu Shaoting was halfway through reading and couldn't help but marvel. This chapter is really unparalleled among the country's scholars... He could write such a shocking and heroic article.
You must know that ordinary scholars use too many flattery words in their writings, which makes people feel that they have no strength.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue's written essay directly criticized the current imperial examination system. Nowadays, the way to get scholars is like gambling, everyone is lucky, and as for the content of the examination, it is like blind guessing. If you succeed in the guessing, you will be selected, if you fail in the guessing, you will not be selected...
I write what follows until this point, not because I am disappointed with the imperial examination, but because I believe in Mr. Fu’s vision for selecting talents and your determination to seek talents for the imperial court.
Doing the scroll like this is like a strange peak coming out, which suddenly shocked Fu Shaoting.
The moment Fu Shaoting finished reading, he almost wanted to leave the table and asked Zhang Yue to take a seat.
Fu Shaoting took a sip of tea to hide the shock in his heart. He forced a calm smile on his face and said: "Du Zhi Zhen can be said to have a strong meaning and no evasion, but I heard that even if it is cloth, silk and millet, it is for the benefit of the world. Don’t flaunt yourself for a moment just by talking high and empty words.”
"I dare to ask Du, can the aspirations in your heart actually mean what you say?"
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "How do you know, rich man, that I am not telling the truth?"
Fu Shaoting smiled and said, "I'd like to hear about my ambition to save you."
Zhang Yue thought about it for a while, stood up and chanted: "How has the head of the tiger ever been eaten by meat? In twenty years, the sword will be written in the sea and the sky will fall."
"The article is fortunate to have never met Huang Zu, and I am still embarrassed by Ma Zhou today."
"Since you are so talented, how can it be that I am not worthy of being a noble?"
"It should be noted that when I was young, Ling Yunzhi once promised to be the best in the world!"
Fu Shaoting could not hide his shock and couldn't help but leave his seat. Not only Fu Shaoting but also Zhang Yue's classmates were no less shocked than Fu Shaoting.
Everyone thought that this poem would be enough if someone in his thirties was writing it because of the wasted time, but at Zhang Yue's age, he was actually lamenting that he had accomplished nothing.
Such people are either in Versailles, or they really have great ambitions.
Guo Lin was even more moved when he looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Junior Brother, now...I am already stunned."
Huang Luze thought to himself, although this poem is mediocre and not as good as the Qingyu Case, in terms of describing aspirations, it is truly the best in the world. As soon as this poem came out, this rich man probably couldn't shake the scene.
Fu Shaoting sat down again to collect himself, called his servants and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Finally, he remained silent and sat in silence with everyone.
Soon the servants came to the courtyard. Fu Shaoting had already stood up and said, "My father is free today. You can come with me."
Although the five people present were looking forward to it in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel dizzy when they heard that the number one civil servant today, the dignified Prime Minister Zhao Wen, wanted to see them.
Huang Lu looked at Huang Haoyi and Sun Guo's helpless look and couldn't help but think, some people really can't see high officials.
Fu Shaoting led them from the cross courtyard to the main courtyard with a calm expression.
But I saw an old man in his fifties playing with a child in the main courtyard, looking like he was teasing his grandson and enjoying family happiness.
Zhang Yue remembered that there was an imperial examination article called "Physical Appearance of the Minister", which means respecting the minister.
As a result, one candidate mistakenly thought it was describing the minister's figure and appearance, so he wrote about Wen Xianggong, Fu Xianggong means good figure, and people like Feng Jing and Shen Tao are handsome.
Everyone was waiting outside the courtyard, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.
After a while, the old man's smile faded when he saw the visitor, and he waved to let them in. As for the children, they were also taken off by the wet nurse.
This old man is naturally Fu Bi with a good figure, the current Prime Minister of Zhao and Wen.
Fu Shaoting stood aside, and the five of them sang loudly to Fu Bi.
Fu Bi raised his eyes and looked at everyone's appearance, as well as their movements and demeanor when singing, and he had already made a preliminary judgment on each person's character and ability.
Then Fu Bi looked at Zhang Yue and Huang Lu again.
Fu Shaoting showed Fu Bi all the articles written by several people and Zhang Yue's poems that he had just copied.
Fu Bi glanced at Zhang Yue and then said: "If you can attack the heart, you will be defeated by the side. It has been known from ancient times that soldiers are not warlike. Failure to assess the situation means that both leniency and severity are wrong. Later, when governing Shu, we must think deeply."
"When I first heard this couplet, others said it was written by a fifteen-year-old boy. I didn't believe it at first, but now it's hard to say it, at least not in front of you. Zhang...Zhang Sanlang, do you have anything to say to me? "
Zhang Yue couldn't answer for a while. Fu Shaoting thought to himself, is he now mute? Where has Zhang Duzhi, who was talking so eloquently just now, gone?
Seeing Zhang Yue, he couldn't speak. Fu Bi said: "I have seen many scholars who conspired with friends and comrades, and went out to meet officials in the state and county. They all looked at them with disdain, talked about great things, and showed no care. But when I saw the prince The ministers are threatened by the outside and the energy is seized from within. They are shocked, trembling, and at a loss, and it is difficult to speak in their mouths."
"If Sanlang can't answer, you might as well go back and think it over clearly, and come back another day to make another comment. Also, how can a sixteen-year-old boy make such a big statement? Most likely he heard it from his elders."
Fu Bi's words made Zhang Yue feel a tightness in his chest. The wealthy husband was so sharp in his remarks that he immediately forced himself into a corner.
Ps: It's in relatively good condition, and I'm sending you a 7,000-word chapter.
