33, Confucian Temple storm
"The county emperor later invited me to the Confucian Temple to preach the holy edicts and glory of the imperial examinations. You will go with me later. This holy edicts and glory of the imperial examinations is one of the essential subjects for the imperial examinations."
Mr. Zhu picked up a pack of inferior dried tea leaves from the altar, reached out and twisted a lot, put it in his mouth to chew it. After vomiting for a long time, he felt that there was no odor in his mouth, so he started to speak to everyone.
"Yes! Sir!"
Several people have read the Shengyu Guangxun in Xu Xiucai's room, but have not studied it carefully yet, just a quick look.
"The Sacred Edict Guangxun" is an official scripture published in the second year of Yongzheng. It is a virtue and principle that the Qing Dynasty instructed the world to abide by the law and should respect. It originated from Kangxi's "The Sacred Edict" and is divided into two contents: "The Sacred Edict 16 Articles of Kangxi's "The Sacred Edict" and Yongzheng Guangxun, which is also a subject in the imperial examination.
However, unlike the titles of the Four Books, the Five Classics, and the test postings, this title is basically classified as the meaning of the ink.
"The Summary of the Complete Book of the Siku Collection of Wensu Pavilion" (October 10th of the 47th year of Qianlong) says it more clearly: "Now (Qianlong) is in the school, and I wrote to Lingjia: Any boy who takes the exam and begins to write everything in his mind, and is qualified; and on the first day of the morning, I asked the elders to read it to the elders to be alert to the public. Because of the fact that the people who have made up their folk customs and only have to be taught to me, the law is good and the mind is beautiful, and there is no way to add it."
It means that the Qing court must read part of the book aloud on the first and fifteenth day of each month every year. It also requires scholars to read the book carefully if they seek to achieve the first grade of the subject. Whether it is the county examination, the government examination, or the scientific examination, there must be an examination for dictating the "Sacred Edicts and Guangxu". Not only can there be no errors or omissions, it is not allowed to be miswritten or added.
Shuo: The first day of every month of the lunar calendar.
Hope: The fifteenth day of every month in the lunar calendar.
Bai Gui calculated the day, and it was indeed the New Year and Night. Although the emperor Guangxun said that it was to let the village party make an appointment with the elders to preach, this also refers to the preaching of preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by preaching by
Mr. Zhu happened to be the most prestigious person in Zishui County.
"Well, brother-in-law, I'll say goodbye. It's not too late at this time. It'll be dark when I go back." Bai Jiaxuan said goodbye to Mr. Zhu and Zhu Bai.
Zhu Baishi bid farewell to Bai Jiaxuan.
Bai Gui and his three classmates followed Mr. Zhu and the students from the academy and walked towards the county's Confucian Temple. When they arrived at the wall of the Confucian Temple, the county magistrate Gu Maode was waiting at the door.
"Brother Meng Zhou, I have been waiting for you for a long time. After I educate the people, I will definitely punish myself for three cups."
The magistrate of the Gu County smiled. He was wearing an official uniform, in his fifties, with gray hair and thin appearance. A middle-aged man dressed in a master half a step away, followed by some yamen runners with the official title "Avoid, Quiet" on it, and a team of about a dozen people holding spearmen made in Hanyang.
"You are polite to the county master..."
Mr. Zhu and the Gu County Magistrate stopped and greeted at the entrance of the Confucian Temple.
Bai Gui was a little puzzled at first that Gu Maode was also a county magistrate and was a Jinshi. Even if he was sent to a county like Zishui County by the Ministry of Personnel, he would not be able to fall into depravity and curry favor with Mr. Zhu, but after a moment of thinking, he understood that Mr. Zhu's talent was appreciated by the Governor Fang Yun and had a good relationship. Governor Fang Yun was at least a second-rank official, and Gu Maode's county magistrate was only a seventh-rank, and the poor grade was too high.
Perhaps Mr. Zhu was a slight assistant to the governor Fang Yun, and his status might instantly jump above the ancient Maode.
After a while of greeting, the Gu County Magistrate saw the four Bai Gui who were obviously unique to Mr. Zhu. Most of the scholars who could pass the exam were in their twenties or thirties, and occasionally there were young students, but it was rare for such young people to be in the same row.
"Are these young men the younger generations of Brother Meng Zhou?"
Gu Maode asked.
Mr. Zhu's name is Mengzhou, so he is called Mengzhou Brother.
He became sensible and did not directly ask Bai Gui and who were Mr. Zhu, or if he was a junior of Mr. Zhu. If so, he would have to worry about it.
"It's my wife's nephew."
Mr. Zhu replied politely.
"Have you entered the school, how is the progress?"
Hearing this sentence, Gu Maode became even more enthusiastic. His cousin may not be close to his nephews. Under the influence of the wind on the bedside, scenes of treating his nephews as parents and children are often common, but his cousin is disgusted with people.
Just as Mr. Zhu was about to answer, Gu Maode waved his hand and smiled and said, "Since the treasure tree in Brother Zhou's family has been completed, why not let the brother test these teenagers."
The treasure tree was the big tree in the family of Xie An and said, "This is the treasure tree of the Xie family." Therefore, the treasure tree is generally a classic for praise for his descendants. Wang Bo wrote in the preface of the Tengwang Pavilion: "It is not the treasure tree of the Xie family."
He pointed to Bai Gui, the oldest, and asked several questions about the four books of the eight-legged essay, so that Bai Gui could answer them.
The eight-legged essay is a topic that comes from the four books. The answers to the questions are expressed in words on behalf of the saints and are explained from the collection of chapters and sentences of Zhu Xi. These can be read and memorized by personal efforts, but when it comes to solving the questions, it depends on personal understanding.
Bai Gui was just the first to get into the eight-legged essays. He was generally not able to understand how to solve the problem, but with the foundation of the scriptures, it was not too difficult to answer.
As soon as he answered, the Gu County Magistrate knew it.
"It seems that these teenagers came to Yingxian for the exam. I would like to ask Mr. Zhu about his art production. They will definitely participate in the imperial examination this year..." The magistrate of Gu narrowed his eyes and had an idea in his mind.
He could feel from the young man who answered the question just now that he was proficient in classics, but he was not good at solving the questions...
In this year's taxes, Zishui County was missing another big piece. He was thinking about how to report to the vassal state (the governor's office) to talk about this. He is from Yunnan Province, and there is no major party in Yunnan Province. He is not rich in wealth. He was also the only one who passed the imperial examination at the age of 45. His future is bleak, his connections are bleak, and he has no way to start.
The only connection that can be imagined is Mr. Zhu. If Mr. Zhu is willing to ask Governor Fang for a relationship and introduce him, maybe this matter will be solved.
Even if it cannot be solved, it will be better than not.
A dead horse is a living horse!
"I'm very knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhu's nephew is so elegant."
"It seems that our county will add a few more students the next day to glorify its hometown."
The Gu County Magistrate asked the other three people one after another, and then he felt aware of it. Then he said thanks to Mr. Zhu.
His words were obscure, but they pointed out something.
With me here, you must have passed the county examination with your nephews. If the county examination is higher, the court examination will also determine the ranking as appropriate in the subsequent provincial examinations. When he loses, he will use some money. With Mr. Zhu's background, these are not difficult.
Mr. Zhu frowned and realized some problems.
But he couldn't help but endure it. The county examination is the future of these young people. Even if he scolded the county magistrate today, what about the next day, the senior official will be killed, unless his nephew really has a talent that cannot be concealed...
