When Zhang Yue heard what Ouyang Xiu said, thousands of horses galloped past him in his heart.
It turns out that calling him back to Beijing was not a discussion with him, but just a notification?
There's no way to play like that.
Zhang Yue also felt that it was subtle. Han Qi and Fu Bi were at odds now, but how could they recommend him at the same time.
Do you want to side with yourself, but these two figures are not the people you want to side with?
Zhang Yue said goodbye to Ouyang Xiu, when he went out and met Ouyang Fa.
Ouyang Fa had a ghostly expression on his face and said with a pale face: "Du Zhi, shouldn't you be on the way to Chuzhou right now? Why are you here? Could it be..."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, are you a fucking joke?
Zhang Yue said: "Dalangjun, can you stop joking?"
Zhang Yue immediately told Ouyang Fa that he had been recalled by his father to participate in medical school.
Ouyang Fa then smiled with relief and said: "It's good to go to a university. This is a good thing. If you are admitted, the officials will keep you in Beijing as soon as they are happy. Wouldn't it be a good time for you? Why is it so difficult to get through?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, you really don't know anything about Er Su's strength.
Ouyang Fa encouraged: "In the past, Emperor Wen ordered the county governors to recommend those who are virtuous and can speak out and give advice, and personally advise them. Chao Cuo responded to the high ranking and promoted him to a middle-ranking official."
"In the first year of Yuanguang, Emperor Wu issued an imperial edict on virtuous literature, and Dong Jiang even made three suggestions from heaven and man."
"Both Chao and Dong distinguished themselves in the world by studying science and technology. During the Han Dynasty, the number of talents who studied science and technology was extremely prosperous. Even in this dynasty, it is a good story."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, of course he knows.
Dong Zhongshu's "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" can be regarded as the most outstanding policy treatise in history. In the three policy treatises, he mentioned the connection between heaven and man, promoted Confucianism, unified the Spring and Autumn Period and established the Imperial Academy, and selected poor talents instead of nobles.
From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, all national policies were involved in it, and no one got out of the circle.
But I was the top pick in Jiayou’s sixth year, and Su Shi and Su Che were the top four and five top picks in Jiayou’s second year. If I fail in my studies...
The number one parallel importer in the Song Dynasty? ? ?
In the end, your father reported my name without even asking me a question?
But thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yue had no way out. The two prime ministers have named you, and you can't reject it even if you don't.
Generally speaking, two ministers are required to recommend the government, but this is the first time that two prime ministers have personally recommended one person at the same time.
Zhang Yue thought that even though he was forcibly arranged, he felt relieved.
Just make peace with what you have come. After some explanations from Ouyang Fa, Zhang Yue has decided to take the exam for the engineering department.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue turned around and went back to see Ouyang Xiu again.
But I saw Ouyang Xiu washing his feet under the service of two young and beautiful envoys.
Seeing Zhang Yue come back again, I couldn't help but feel excited.
Seeing water splashing on the footbath, Zhang Yue turned sideways and stood by the door and coughed twice.
Ouyang Xiu asked the two female envoys to leave first. He wiped his feet with a towel and asked, "Why did Du Zhi go and come back?"
Zhang Yue said from the side: "The system department wants to select fifty policy papers for the two system officials to read. I wonder what uncle has to explain?"
Ouyang Xiu smiled slightly, he was really a teachable child.
Smart people are good at changing their emotions from passive to active.
Therefore, Ouyang Xiu said with a smile on his face: "There are strategies and arguments for entering the paper. This time I recommend you as a virtuous and upright person who can speak out and give advice."
Zhang Yue knew that there were ten subjects in the system.
Distinguishing the virtuous and upright can speak out the most admonishing department, the broad tomb canon is bright in the educational department, the talent and knowledge are bright in the physical and practical department, the detailed official management can lead to the political department, the insight and strategy management department can make decisive decisions, and the military strategy and long-term talents can be sent to the border department.
These six subjects are specifically for officials in the government.
In addition, there are Gaoduqiuyuanke, Shenluncaozheke, Maocaiyi, etc., which are taken from the common people.
There are also tests on calligraphy and so on.
However, among these subjects, the Xianliang subject is the first, and the system subjects and so on are all called Xianliang.
Ouyang Xiudao: "As for the advancement strategy and theory, there is no certain number. Twenty-five, twenty-five or twenty-thirty can be used."
At this point Ouyang Xiu said to Zhang Yue: "Follow me to the study."
Zhang Yue borrowed a lamp from the maid and followed Ouyang Xiu to the study.
Ouyang Xiu rummaged through the case box for a while, took out a roll bag and gave it to Zhang Yue: "This is Su Zizhan's roll. You can take it and refer to it in detail, and finally prepare fifty rolls for submission."
Zhang Yue was stunned.
Ouyang Xiu said: "Why are you still so polite to me?"
Of course Zhang Yue was happy. Ouyang Xiu showed him Su Shi's article, which showed that he still favored him more in his mind.
Zhang Yue said: "That's not the case. Zizhan's writing must be exquisite. I am afraid that I will mess up my own position after reading it."
Ouyang Xiu nodded and said: "Very good. You can go back and think carefully without using others as a rope."
"That's right, Zizhan is a man of talent, knowledge and wisdom in the physical science. As for Ziyou, he is a virtuous and upright person who can speak out and give advice."
Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. This time he avoided Su Shi, but he still ran into Su Che. But it's no wonder that Ouyang Xiu showed himself Su Shi's paper, because the two were not in the same subject.
Yes, when I left Beijing that day, I heard that Wang Kui also passed the examination and was able to speak out and give advice. Is this happening again?
Zhang Yue saluted Ouyang Xiu and then left.
Ouyang Xiu looked at Su Shi's rolled bag and looked at Zhang Yue's back and said, "It's really a good scholar."
Ouyang Xiu didn't know that Zhang Yue didn't want to read Su Shi's articles. But most of Su Shi's published articles were collected by later generations, so Zhang Yue already had an impression of it.
After Zhang Yue left Ouyang Xiu's house, he returned to his home.
Zhang Shi was surprised when he saw it.
"Why is Third Brother back?"
Zhang Shi just said goodbye to Zhang Yue the day before yesterday, why did he come back?
Zhang Yue said: "It's a long story, let me rest first."
The next day, Zhang Yue got up early and started writing on the case.
The theory and policy are different.
Theory focuses more on virtuality, while policy focuses more on reality.
First of all, Zhang Yue wrote about the classics.
The first chapter is the Book of Changes, followed by the Book of Songs and the Book of Songs.
Then he wrote the Analects of Confucius and the Classic of Filial Piety, a total of eleven classics.
Finally, Zhang Yue added Mencius, a total of twelve classics.
These are all Zhang Yue's previous Confucian studies, he just sorted them out.
Among them, Zhang Yue also had the most insights into the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes, the Book of Rites, and Mencius, so he expanded it into three treatises: upper, middle and lower.
Therefore, the twenty essays were written in one day.
Zhang Shi saw that Zhang Yue stayed behind closed doors, leaving all his meals outside, and only drank tea constantly.
Niu drank more than a dozen cups of tea throughout the day, but didn't eat a grain of rice. In the evening, Zhang Yue went to rest after finishing his meal.
Zhang Shi couldn't help but ask Zhang Qiu: "What kind of academic homework did your third uncle do? Why didn't you go to the official post? Why did you write an article for one day since you returned home?"
Zhang Qiu understood clearly and said: "Dad, my third uncle is going to a major university. This is the method used by emperors throughout the ages to deal with virtuous people. If he can use it, he will become the prime minister in the future."
Zhang Shi felt relieved and said happily: "It doesn't matter if you are a good friend or not, as long as you are at home."
As he spoke, Zhang Shi said distressedly: "Your third uncle is so tired and thin after taking exams. If it doesn't work, I have to give him a lot of supplements."
Zhang Yue gets up as early as possible the next day to compose.
I have written twenty articles on him, and here is the strategy.
Policy is divided into strategies, strategies, and strategies.
In the policy parting, they were divided into hundreds of officials, security for the people, abundant wealth, training brigades, etc.
Zhang Yue used to be a policy commentator in Taixue and wrote many old articles. Now I have picked up a dozen of my favorite works and modified them.
These dozen or so articles are taken from the Historical Records of Han Dynasty, some discuss wealth, some discuss gains and losses in one day, and some comment on characters.
These are basic skills for Taipei students.
But halfway through writing, Zhang Yue couldn't help but stop writing.
He compared the twenty classics and commentaries he had written previously with Ce and found that they were different from each other.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel chilled when he thought of this.
When he entered Taixue, Hu Yuan taught himself to be enlightened and practical.
Now I have written twenty chapters of scriptures and essays, and my essays are also brilliant in writing. I quote scriptures and allusions, and every sentence has its source.
But it is too loose and cannot be consistent.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but think when he saw this, I must have made this mistake too.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue broke into a cold sweat, but he also thought that he didn't have to worry so much about the imperial examination articles, but he couldn't bear it in his heart.
During the imperial examination, each essay was written for each question. Sometimes you had to figure out the examiner's preferences, and sometimes your own inspiration emerged.
But the volume is different, and the strategy for the fifty chapters must be consistent, that is, it must be consistent.
For example, the core of the Analects of Confucius is the word benevolence.
Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism has one word.
Lu Jiuyuan's "Xin Xue" is the word "Xin".
The fifty treatises and strategies seem to be separate, but together they form one treatise. Otherwise, he is eloquent and eloquent.
But it is very difficult to start a family at this age.
Zhang Yue looked at the previous articles and found that they were indeed written by himself. That was where the previous knowledge and effort lay. Now that I have read it again, I have discovered that there are many immature places.
Zhang Yue read the article and pondered over it, and finally made a decision between giving up and not giving up. He bit into it and burned all the dozen or so articles he had written proudly on weekdays.
Zhang Yue simply lay on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
In the world in his dream, the books he had read since childhood and the articles he had written appeared in front of him, and he sorted them out.
This time Zhang Yue slept from noon to midnight.
Zhang Yue didn't wake up from his dream until he heard the sound of the clock in the alley.
Zhang Yue put on his clothes and walked to the atrium, only to see a lonely moon above his head shining all over the sky.
Zhang Yue felt alienated at this moment, as if he had been forgotten by the world.
Zhang Yue lowered his head and saw that the pond in the courtyard was full at some point, and the clear water reflected the lonely moon.
Zhang Yue sat by the pool and reached out to touch the moon.
But I saw the pool rippling, and the bright moon breaking and becoming full again.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but be touched. At this moment, his heart felt clear, so he returned to the room to renew the candle and wrote another article before the case.
Zhang Yue himself did not expect that passing the exam would become an opportunity to consolidate his knowledge.
Three days later, Ouyang Xiu sent Ouyang Fa to Zhang Yue's home to collect the documents and prepare them for delivery to the officials of the two systems.
However, he was turned away. Tang Jiu told Ouyang that Zhang Yue had been working hard on writing an article these days and no one was allowed to disturb him.
Ouyang Fa was also surprised and went back without saying anything.
When Ouyang Fa came back three days later, he was told that he still had not finished writing.
Waiting until May, Ouyang Fa went to Zhang Yue's house again and learned that he still had not finished writing. This time it was Ouyang Fa's turn to be uneasy.
Because the system examination was on July 25th, but the other candidates had already submitted their papers to the minister of the system, Zhang Yue was the only one who was still planning something.
If you miss the deadline, won't this time be in vain?
