The news delivered by Xu Xie lifted Feng Ziying's spirits.
This means that his performance in the Imperial Examination has not only earned him hostility and dissatisfaction among the Shilin civil service community, but also attention, and some attention has begun to move closer to this trend.
This is a good sign.
In Feng Ziying's opinion, the question of the imperial examination is actually a very obvious sign.
This means that the performance of the cabinet has been unable to suppress Emperor Yonglong's dissatisfaction with the political situation, which makes Emperor Yonglong look for like-minded people through such a way and a channel. Of course, it may also attract some speculators.
Feng Ziying is not sure whether she is a like-minded person of Emperor Yonglong or a speculator, maybe a combination of both.
Of course, Feng Ziying also knew that she was too light. Emperor Yonglong only valued her for buying horse bones with thousands of gold, well, or to catch the big fish behind her.
It's not like Long Jinwei couldn't even figure out the people and groups he represented behind him. Emperor Yonglong also had a clear target.
When I return to the academy, I will inevitably have to chat with all my classmates.
Most of the top three Jinshi scholars have returned to their hometowns. After all, the selection of the Shujishi Hall has nothing to do with them, and there are still three months until Guanzheng. These three months are just a good time to return home in glory.
Some of the remaining second-class Jinshis also went home. For example, Fang Zhenru, Fan Jingwen, and He Fengsheng only stayed in the academy for one day before setting off to go home.
Only Xu Xie, Feng Ziying, Song Tongyin and Luo Shangzhong remained in the capital.
Xu Xie also only stayed for one day and then left. He was not too worried about the selection of the library.
"Ziying, are you sure about the selection?" This question has been asked countless times by countless people. However, in front of Xu Qixun, Sun Chuanting, Song Shixiang, and Fu Zonglong, Feng Ziying didn't have much explanation. Ninth, if the elders want to depose me, they must have a suitable reason."
The students who did not participate in the joint examination and the palace examination were obviously far apart from the classmates who were already Jinshi in terms of news and information, and Feng Ziying's status as a second-class Jinshi was enough to make Fu Zonglong and the others look up to her.
In the next subject, they will first have to face the Autumn Palace Competition. Only after the Autumn Palace can we say Spring Palace. When they have to launch an attack on Qiu Wei three years later, Feng Ziying may have to wait in the Hanlin Academy unless something unexpected happens. They are.
This huge gap made Fu Zonglong's remaining unconvincing feelings disappear long ago. You can say that Qiu Wei was a fluke, but what about Chun Wei? What about the imperial examination? Could it still all be a fluke?
As for Xu Qixun, Song Shixiang and Sun Chuanting, they had always had a sworn relationship with Feng Ziying. After Feng Ziying passed the imperial examination and even became a Jinshi, the relationship with the three of them remained unchanged and even became closer.
"That's good. I heard that there is still a big gap between Shujishi and ordinary second-class Jinshi when they are awarded officials in the future. With Ziying's talent, it would be a pity if she cannot enter the Hanlin Academy." Sun Chuanting also took over. talk.
It turns out that the three Shanxi heroes in the academy also fell apart.
Chen Qiyu, who was originally the most prosperous, failed in the examination and was quite disappointed.
On the other hand, Zheng Chongjian, a quiet guy, actually passed the Jinshi examination, which can not but be said to have surprised many people.
It was normal for Sun Chuanting not to have passed Qiu Wei. After all, he was ostensibly with Feng Ziying for a year, and at the last question, he was one year younger than Feng Ziying.
"I would rather have the opportunity to go to a place to polish my skills, but it would be better if I could go to the Hanlin Academy." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Bo Ya, I passed the exam, and I'm afraid you will be the youngest to take the exam. Well, you guys We all strive to spend autumn and spring together."
"Ziying, we all think, who wants to study for three years and three years again?" Song Shixiang originally spoke Shaanxi dialect, but after staying in the academy for several years, he has changed a lot. I'm already twenty-four years old, so I'm afraid my family will be extremely disappointed."
"Yes, it only takes another three years to get admitted. How many three years are there in life?" Fu Zonglong also sighed, "Yuxuan still passed the Qiu Wei exam, but he didn't pass the Chun Wei exam and locked himself in the room for a few days. I have no energy at all. I have just regained my breath in the past few days. We have not even passed the autumn period, and we are still facing the autumn period."
Feng Ziying is still very fond of these classmates. They are all similar in age to herself, and their foundation in economics and philosophy is much better than hers. They are even slightly better than Fang Youdu. Qiu Wei's failure is largely due to the fact that they are in different places. The competition in the direct province is too fierce. After three years of baptism, Feng Ziying believes that these people will definitely have a good result, and of course she will help them again.
"Hu Chen, Zhong Lun, Yi Zhong, Boya, I have gone through the Qiu Wei, Spring Wei and even the palace examination, but I still feel some changes compared to the previous subjects, that is, more emphasis is placed on current policy theory. I don't know if you have This feeling?”
Feng Ziying's question cheered up several people. Fu Zonglong was the first to speak: "Ziying, we also feel what you said, but the autumn period is not obvious yet. I heard that the spring period has changed a lot."
"Well, last year's Qiu Wei was relatively obvious. I mean compared to the Qiu Wei in the first year of Yonglong. I predict that this trend will continue in the seventh year of Yonglong's Qiu Wei, or even become more prominent. Moreover, your level of classics and meanings are all the same. Not bad, with more than two years of practice, you will definitely be able to improve to a higher level, so I suggest you to work more on current policy theory."
Feng Ziying's words were enough to attract everyone's attention.
Xu Qixun also raised his eyebrows, "Ziying, the academy has actually made some adjustments in this regard. To be honest, those who can enter the academy will not have a bad foundation in economics and ethics. Well, you can be considered a special case, but current policy theory is also It requires long-term accumulation. For example, taking a new subject may involve many aspects of court affairs in the next three years..."
"This is exactly what I want to say." Feng Ziying nodded, "I estimate that the scale of the academy will be further expanded this year and next year, and the mountain chief and the president are also preparing to obtain more information on current affairs and affairs from the imperial palace newspapers. Well, this is also the path determined by the original academy. In addition, I thought about it. Regardless of whether I can enter Shujishi, I will definitely spend most of my time in the past two years observing the politics of the DPRK. , then you will be exposed to a lot of court affairs. I plan to selectively select some that I think are more important and need to be compiled, so that you can also help me, and you can also learn from them..."
Several people's eyes lit up, and Fu Zonglong and Song Shixiang even breathed tight.
This is so different. It means that a few of them can directly have access to government affairs, and with Feng Ziying guiding them, this opportunity is simply more precious than gold.
Xu Qixun was silent for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice: "Ziying, is this appropriate? Does it hinder your view of politics?"
This is actually a reminder that if government affairs do not come out through normal channels, then you need to consider whether someone will take advantage of them.
"Huchen, I will naturally know this issue accurately myself. It will not involve things that the court has not yet determined or are controversial, nor will it involve things that are not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world. It should be more that some things that the court has already determined are only for the outside world. The scope may not be clear, well, this may just be the scope of future tense policy theory examination questions.”
Feng Ziying naturally knows the rules here and will only do things when she is sure.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief. Of course they hoped to have such an opportunity to improve themselves, but they also did not want to see Feng Ziying suffer because of it.
"My thinking is to set aside one day every season. I will give a classified introduction to the affairs of the period, and then outline them and select some key points for analysis. Then you can take them back and figure them out..."
Feng Ziying considered the problem very carefully.
I have been in contact with this group of classmates for two years. It goes without saying that Xu Qixun and Sun Chuanting are all simple and unpretentious. Fu Zonglong is a little proud, but his nature is not bad. Song Shixiang is a little extreme, but he respects and trusts him very much, and he is a bit friendly with Fang Youdu. Children are similar.
He thinks they are all people who can help.
If this group of students can take the next subject and pass the Qiuwei and Chunwei exams as they wish, even if they can't get into the Shujishi, whether they are the second or third class, they will still be able to occupy a position in the Great Zhou court, and the future will be bright. Can't play a big role.
Moreover, through such a kind of learning and indoctrination that is similar to cultivation, these students can be allowed to accept some of their own opinions in advance.
Before this, it was difficult for me to express many of my ideas and concepts, but when I became a sage or entered the Hanlin Academy, I could express them openly.
In fact, among the classmates who passed the subject examination, such as Xu Xie, Song Tongyin, Luo Shangzhong, Fang Zhenru, Ye Tinggui, etc., I only have a friendship with them as classmates. What common ambitions do you think? It's really out of the question.
Perhaps Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, and Zheng Chongjian have somewhat similar views. Only Fang Youdu can truly be called his younger brother.
If you really want to do something big in the future, you must be relatively well-prepared in terms of your current talent pool. Otherwise, you will have great abilities, and even a clever wife can’t make a meal out of nothing. No one will do it for you, and the same goes for you. Just call out.
Feng Ziying stayed in the academy for a few days, where she and her classmates not only discussed and communicated with each other, but also expressed friendship with each other.
Maybe the next time he returns to the academy, he should come as a quasi-official of the imperial court.
Everything Qingtan Academy left for him is enough to be deeply engraved in his heart, and as Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun said, these two years here will be the most memorable time in the lives of these students who have left.
