"You want to move out?" Xu Song frowned slightly, and nodded after a moment, "That's fine, I have officials coming to see me every day. You are going to take the test soon, so don't delay!"
"Let's do this. You can pay the money to your account later, rent a larger yard, and buy two servants!"
Xu He smiled: "Uncle, how can I use your money!"
Xu Song shook his head and said: "Don't live in the courtyard given to you by the King of Shu! Once you live in it, you won't be able to explain it clearly!"
Of course Xu He would not live there.
Now there is an undercurrent about establishing a crown prince. Even if the King of Shu is a half-grown child, he is still a prince.
It would be fine if I were an ordinary person and lived in it.
But there are Xu Song and the Xu family behind him, so he has to be cautious when doing things.
Xu Song has not taken sides in the court so far. Many people are observing his position. What does it mean if he lives in it?
Seeing that Xu He was thinking about himself, Xu Song was very happy: "You just pay from the account. The yard should be bigger. Occasionally, I will go to your place to rest and hide away! If you want anything by the way, the two of us can do it." We can still discuss it.”
Xu He smiled: "There is no need to choose the place that can be rented. It must be placed somewhere where the uncle is on duty! I just happened to like a house in Douhuaer Hutong two days ago, and my nephew bought it right away. !”
Xu Song was startled. Douhuaer Hutong was not far outside the palace wall, even closer to the imperial city than Huayuan Hutong.
If the yard in that place is even bigger, how much will it cost?
Xu He is now a rich man.
Looking at the three courtyards in front of me, I am quite satisfied. Although the courtyards in Beijing are not as beautiful as those in Jiangnan, the original owner of the house is a high-ranking director of the Ministry of Industry, and he should make a lot of money through national projects on weekdays.
The small courtyard in Sanjin is better maintained than the houses of the big guys in Huayuan Hutong.
The key is that the person in charge is also sensible.
When you walk down the street and look at this courtyard, it looks ordinary. When you first enter the courtyard, it is just the decoration of an ordinary house.
But after entering the second and third time, it became more and more refined and luxurious, otherwise Xu He would not have spent more than two thousand taels to buy him.
As soon as Ouyang Jun entered the small courtyard that Xu He had just bought, he said with an envious look on his face: "Okay, Liangsheng. My Ouyang Jun family is also rich. I didn't expect you to be richer than our family! This courtyard, tsk tsk, No matter, I have to be assigned a room, the bed board in the club is too hard, I won’t go!"
"Lingsheng, our brother, I must be in the same room here. Don't say anything else. I will say goodbye to my father today and move to your place, so as not to be scolded in the house every day!"
Everyone spontaneously assigned their rooms without saying a word.
Of course, everyone doesn’t get it for free.
When Ouyang Jun went to the street, he went to a tooth shop and bought two wives and two maids.
Along with them, they also abducted one of the women's entire family.
As a result, the door of Xu He's house, including sweepers, cooks, and maids, were all in order.
After two or three days of busy work, the newly purchased house finally felt like home.
Sure enough, within two days, Xie Liangcai also moved here. Everyone came to the capital to prepare for the exam. After so many wasted days, it was time to calm down.
The imperial examinations in the Wei Dynasty were divided into three levels. The general examination was the second among the three levels of imperial examinations. It was the first and decisive stage in selecting Jinshi.
Because Taizu Zhang Shicheng stipulated the imperial examination and official selection system that "those who have not taken the imperial examination will not be eligible for official positions", scholars all regarded the imperial examination as the right way to become an official, which resulted in very fierce competition.
The National Examination is the most critical step leading to the highest academic title...Jinshi. Passing the National Examination means that you can be released as an official. Therefore, the National Examination is more competitive than the college entrance examination in later generations.
All the Gongsheng, Juren, and Jinshi in the imperial examinations are called family background, and they stop at Jinshi, similar to the doctorate degree in later generations.
There are promotions in official positions, and only the background obtained through examinations will stay with you for life and will not change.
The word Jinshi has a long history.
"Book of Rites: Kingship" records: "Da Le Zheng discusses the outstanding scholars, and reports them to the king, and promotes the officers and horses, and calls them Jinshi."
But at that time, Jinshi refers to people who can enter and be awarded titles.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examinations were launched, and the Jinshi subject began to exist.
Under the Tang system, those who were eligible for the examination were called Jinshi, and those who passed the examination were called Jinshi. Anyone who passed the examination at the Ministry of Rites was called a Jinshi.
In the Tang Dynasty, from Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu to later Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Jinshi were particularly respected.
During the Dali period, it was stipulated that those who were not admitted to the imperial examination with Ci poems were not allowed to use it.
Ci Fu is the Jinshi Branch.
The same was true in the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was held every year. In the Song Dynasty, it was set as an examination every other year in the second year of Zhihe. In the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song Dynasty, it was only stipulated that the examination should be conducted every three years. From then on, both the Yuan and Wei Dynasties followed the secondary system.
Jinshi is also called Jiake, which is a special term for literati, especially officials.
For example, someone asked Xu He now whether he was born in the B branch or the A branch. Xu He could only say that he was born in the B branch, because the B branch was for people to be promoted, while the A branch was the Jinshi.
Therefore, the A list and the B list are extended from it, because Jinshi almost all came from Juren.
This gives rise to the term "Two Ranking Jinshi" that many people are familiar with.
Of course, some people say that the two rankings refer to the two rankings for the general examination and the palace examination.
This is not important.
When it comes to exams, we have to talk about the teacher.
When Xu He passed the examination, he also had a teacher, and Gu Shouyuan formed a teacher-student relationship with him.
But Gu Shouyuan was one of the ten sons of Ding Mo. Because of the relationship between Xie Kun and Li Zhijie, he had a deeper connection with Xu He.
Elsewhere, the teachers in Division B are not taken seriously.
But it's different for teachers who can take exams.
Once a scholar passes the examination and becomes a Jinshi, the examiner of the subject's joint examination will be called "zuoshi"; the same examiner will be called "fangshi", and the Jinshi in the same ranking will call each other "the same year", and the sons of the same year will be called "nephew"; The sons of the seat master and the house master are called "brothers of the world."
The Jinshi chosen by the seat master and the room master are called "disciples".
They call the Jinshi chosen by their disciples as "disciples".
The students call the teacher's teacher "Teacher Tai".
From this we can see how deep the relationship between the student and the teacher is once he is admitted to the imperial examination, and it can even extend vertically down to three generations!
During the Song Dynasty, prime ministers cited "disciples" to come to Taiwan to advise them as officials, secretly instructing them to attack political opponents by using their protégés to "pick up the power of hundreds of officials".
Some disciples point east to east, and do not hesitate to call deer a horse, and work hard for their teacher. If the teacher wins, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, but if the teacher fails, they will also become victims of political struggles.
When the party struggle in this dynasty was fierce, people often used the relationship between teachers and disciples to speculate on the background of each speaker, so as to determine which side they should stand on.
Why did Xu He oppose Xu Song's comeback at that time?
It's because Xu Song has never served as the examiner or co-examiner.
His entry into the cabinet is no different from that of the bicycle governor in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
If you say something, if there is no response from the students, it will be difficult for the political opinion to pass.
On the contrary, if something goes wrong and there are no disciples to stand up to protect the teacher, it will be easy for someone to mess it up.
This is why Qin Yan finally chose Xu Song to join the cabinet, but squeezed out the Songjiang Shen family!
Other:
The bicycle governor, that is, the governor without the title of general, is one of the levels of governor. In the system of the Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties, those whose surnames were common people and who did not have the title of general were called Bicycle Governors. Although the name of this kind of governor sounds nice, the actual power is very different from that of the real governor!
