Zhang Zhou entered Jixian Hall amidst the hostility of everyone.
Guangyetang assistant teacher Liu Shun came out and saw Zhang Zhou, and was very surprised. The man in front of him could not be invited no matter what, but now he heard that there was a selection examination for Gongsheng students, so he came shamelessly?
The key point is, haven’t you already obtained the qualification of being an alternate student? When you finish studying in three years, you can come out directly and become a student, and you will get the coveted position of teaching in prison.
Not satisfied yet?
"Assistant Liu, are you going to be sick again when you come to see Lin Jijiu this time?"
Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.
Liu Shun asked: "The young master of the Zhu family didn't come with you?"
Liu Shun seemed to be only afraid of Zhu Feng and looked down upon Zhang Zhou.
"The next person is here." Zhang Zhou said.
"Then wait, I'll help you go in and take a look."
Liu Shun entered the teaching building behind the Imperial Academy, apparently looking for Lin Han.
Zhang Zhou was standing in the Jixian Hall, surrounded by portraits of famous Confucian scholars from past dynasties, as well as their life stories. Zhang Zhou was about to walk over and take a look.
When the Lin Ting brothers and sisters heard that Zhang Zhou was coming, they hurried to Jixian Hall to meet him.
"Mr. Zhang, why are you here?" Lin Ting frowned.
His tone was questioning.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Didn't you always want me to come? Am I here now?"
Lin Ting said: "But you are here to participate in Beiyong's virtuous promotion, so you will be criticized even more. At your age, you have just passed the Jieyuan exam, so there is no need to lower your status to participate in this kind of virtuous promotion."
The general meaning is that you, Zhang Zhou, are so young that you have not even passed the Jinshi examination once, so you "will yourself to fall" and come to participate in the selection examination to be promoted to an official. If you are selected, will you be Jiangnan Jieyuan? Not even participating in a single trial?
To say you have no ambition is an understatement, as others will think you are messing around.
Zhang Zhou was also helpless.
Who told me that this so-called promotion of talents was tailor-made for me by the emperor? If I don't participate, the emperor can cancel this selection, and others will not be able to get a diploma with me.
In order to show that this selection is fair and just, the emperor will probably choose a few more people besides me. I am creating opportunities for others.
"My father has always been prejudiced against you, and you... take matters into your own hands."
After Lin Ting finished speaking, he turned around and headed towards the teaching building.
He probably wanted to talk to his father to prevent him from getting too angry. With his son here, there would always be someone who could calm Lin Han down no matter how angry he was.
As soon as Lin Ting left, Lin Yi was left alone in Jixian Hall.
"Miss Lin? We meet again." Zhang Zhou smiled.
Lin Yi was dressed in Confucian robes and looked like a handsome Gongsheng student. But when he heard this, his face turned red and he did not dare to look at Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou instantly understood the reason for Lin Yi's loss of etiquette.
Maybe the incident in the palace had a big impact on her... The Empress Dowager actually mentioned in person that she wanted to betroth her to Zhang Zhou. She didn't know the reason behind this, but she thought it was the Empress Dowager Zhou who really had such an idea.
"You...shouldn't have come."
When Lin Yi spoke, she lost her previous aura of being a woman and had more of the shyness of a young daughter.
Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Isn't it the purpose of participating in Beiyong's promotion of talents? Isn't that why you wrote to me before? If you can serve the court, why should you care about the situation. I will take part in the examination or directly promote talents. accept."
Lin Yi was also confused when he heard this.
Jiangnan Jieyuan... is so valuable, even if you fail to pass the Jinshi exam once, you should be fine if you take the exam two or three times, right?
You actually gave up without taking the test once?
This is completely different from the pride you showed earlier when you were looking down on the students all over the world.
…
…
Lin Han finally appeared in Jixian Hall, followed by Lin Ting, Liu Shun and several other staff from the Imperial College.
When Lin Yi saw her father coming, she quickly hid aside and pretended to be transparent and stood aside to listen.
Lin Han sat at the main seat, as if waiting for Zhang Zhou to come up and salute.
Zhang Zhou stood on the spot.
No intention of moving.
Liu Shundao: "Zhang Gongsheng, aren't you here to see Lin Jijiu? People are here!"
"oh."
Zhang Zhou just smiled and nodded, meaning that this was considered a greeting.
After all, Lin Han was an old scholar of the Ming Dynasty. In front of a junior who didn't know etiquette, he didn't dare to get angry. He said coldly: "Zhang Bingkuan? Ying Tianfu Township Examination Jie Yuan? It seems that you only know dogma and don't know etiquette." "
"hehe."
Zhang Zhou smiled.
My etiquette is only shown to those who appreciate me. You old guy has disliked me from the beginning, and you deliberately turned me away when you first came.
Everyone wants to take advantage of me, so I don’t have to mess around.
Others want to enter the Imperial College and be your student, but I have no such idea. I am not here to give you, Mr. Lin, face, but to give the emperor painstaking efforts to set up a backdoor.
Lin Han said again: "Go back."
Zhang Zhou said: "Then I will put my papers here?"
"Take them away together!" Lin Han said, "With your background and personality, it is impossible for you to be selected by the Imperial Academy. You do not have the courtesy and demeanor to be a teacher, nor do you have the humility and prudence of an official!"
wipe!
Zhang Zhouxin said, Lin Han, is this a public revenge?
They didn't like me, so they didn't even hand in my test papers and just rejected me.
Don’t you know that this selection is all because of me? Without me, there wouldn’t even be this selection, right?
Zhang Zhou understood the emperor's painstaking efforts. As Xiao Jing said, except for the emperor, Dai Yi and Xiao Jing who knew about this matter, the emperor did not directly inform the two actual operators, Cheng Minzheng and Lin Han, of the intention.
The emperor deliberately opened a convenient door and welcomed his rightful owner in.
As a result, he, the rightful owner, was stopped by the gatekeeper.
Seeing this, I still want to let the dog bite.
Zhang Zhou was not annoyed, he just reminded with a smile: "Lin Jijiu, as the saying goes, there is no distinction between education and distinction. Even if you can't stand me and think I'm not suitable to study in the Imperial College, shouldn't you still give me a chance? "
Lin Han finally felt a little prouder.
He felt that this was to capture Zhang Zhou.
Lin Han said: "Zhang Bingkuan, don't think that I don't know what you have done before. You have gained fame and some favor, but as a tribute student, you cannot put your studies first. If I were one of the most virtuous people in the world, I would definitely Let you learn more Confucian etiquette, it has nothing to do with your talent!"
Zhang Zhou thought about it for a while.
That makes sense? !
As expected, this old guy has been engaged in education all his life, and he probably has very high moral standards for students.
Zhang Zhou and Lin Han were both teaching staff, so they found it a bit pleasant to hear.
If there is a student who does not know etiquette, likes to argue with the teacher in class, often skips classes, and cannot see the teacher in person, no matter how good he is in studies, he will definitely not be considered for any opportunities such as recommendation.
Zhang Zhou said: "Lin Jijiu, as the minister of the Imperial Academy, should know that this is the will of the Holy One. As far as I know, His Majesty's edict clearly stated that all tribute students who were born in Juren are eligible to participate. This is the king's duty. I mean. Since Lin Jijiu is a human subject, is this going against the holy will?"
"you……"
Lin Han originally thought that he had the absolute initiative, so he didn't have to talk nonsense with Zhang Zhou and sent Zhang Zhou away directly, so that he could vent his anger.
But after listening to Zhang Zhou's words, he realized that this kid was very difficult to deal with.
He actually used the emperor's imperial edict as an excuse.
After all, Lin Han is someone who has experienced big events. He said: "I said, you can't be selected, so don't fight in vain."
Zhang Zhou argued with reason: "If my talents and learning are not recognized by the court, then I will accept my fate. But if I lose this opportunity just because some of my conduct is not appreciated by Lin Jijiu, then Lin Jijiu is abandoning public service for personal reasons, and deciding the future of others based on your personal likes and dislikes, which not only goes against His Majesty's original intention of selecting talents, but also makes people criticize Lin Jijiu's open-mindedness as a teacher."
The scene was full of gunpowder.
The surrounding faculty and staff were also stunned.
Since the establishment of the Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty, I have never seen any Gongsheng who dared to confront the Imperial Academy in such a head-on manner. He really didn't give any face or leave any retreat.
"Haha." Lin Han suddenly laughed, with a hint of ridicule. He stood up and walked to Zhang Zhou and said, "Zhang, I still admire you very much. You have the style of a remonstrator who dares to speak out. However, the Imperial College is There is no room for people like you. I might as well tell you that you will never be chosen."
"Not necessarily?" Zhang Zhou responded with a smile.
"If you are not selected, will you never enter Beiyong in the future? Can your title of Imperial Academy Supervisor be revoked?"
"Okay." Zhang Zhou said, "What if I choose? Lin Jijiu doesn't want to bet anything?"
Lin Han seemed to look down on Zhang Zhou's wild character and said: "If you are chosen, I will let you enter Beiyong and give you good guidance."
"If I can't be chosen, I won't enter Beiyong. If I'm chosen, I don't need to enter Beiyong. What's the point of Lin Jijiu saying this? How about this." Zhang Zhou said loudly, "If I can't be chosen, from now on If I am chosen, Lin Jijiu will agree to a condition that does not violate morality and etiquette. What do you think of Lin Jijiu?"
Everyone was laughing.
They probably all felt that Zhang Zhou was overestimating his abilities.
Lin Han said: "I accept it!"
Then he walked up to Zhang Zhou and whispered: "I will teach you what it means to be human and worldly!"
After saying that, he turned around and headed towards the teaching building at the door.
Zhang Zhou, however, refused to give up and yelled at Lin Han's back: "Okay, Lin Jijiu, you have to teach me the ways of the world. It just so happens that I also have some sense of the world and want to ask you for advice. As for who will teach whom, I am not sure yet." "
Lin Han walked out without stopping.
Liu Shun didn't leave, he came over and looked at Zhang Zhou coldly and said: "Zhang Gongsheng... no, you are no longer a Gongsheng. You, you, Lin Jijiu is for your own good, so that you can calm down your mind, and you may have something to do in the future." Achievements. You insist on drinking wine with Lin Ji like this... Do you really don’t understand or are you just pretending not to understand? "
"Even if it is the Hanlin in the library who examines the articles for eunuch selection, as long as Lin Jijiu says a word, you will be selected, and you will not have a chance to be named! This is not an imperial examination, and it has nothing to do with the reasons why your articles are good or bad. This is It’s human nature.”
"Well said." Zhang Zhou patted Liu Shun on the shoulder, "This is not an imperial examination! If this was Chunwei and he wanted to be sealed, I wouldn't have said that!"
After speaking, Zhang Zhou glanced at Lin Yi, who was suddenly lost in thought.
"Ms. Lin, see you next time! Haha."
