Chapter 102 High School Club
However, Gu Xingzu's great name was right in front of him.
And the only explanation...may be the college entrance examination in the early Ming Dynasty...ah no, it was the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, which was really just in its infancy.
There is really no volume experience.
Even many people... Even the style of stereotyped essays is only in the groping stage.
In particular, the various methods have not yet summed up experience.
We don't have martial arts cheats, so we can only fight for internal strength.
Zhang Anshi could only hear the noise from behind...still noisy.
At first everyone was scolding: "Why are they all from Jiangxi?"
"Could it be that all the first and third are from Jiangxi? Look, my God, the second, first, second, third and fourth are also from Jiangxi."
"I saw that in this list, there are not many northerners, and there are a few, but they are all hanging at the back. Is this still a way for us northern scholars to survive?"
After shouting and cursing, someone suddenly asked, "Who is the first-ranked Huiyuan Gu Xingzu?"
As soon as this remark came out, many people did not say a word.
This person is really unheard of.
It turns out that most people don't know the details of this person.
It didn't seem to have any titles before.
As for Gu Xingzu himself, he just felt that he was a little unsteady. He stared blankly at his name, and his legs were already a little weak.
This is something you can't even dream of.
Ranked first... Huiyuan!
Zhang Anshi laughed badly beside him and said: "Haha, it's terrible, my family Gu Xingzu won the first place, and Gu Xingzu from Beizhi Li won the first place, first place!"
Zeng Wei, Zhou Shu, and Zhou Mengjian who were on the side were all among the top, but at this moment, there was an indescribable feeling.
They looked at the excited Zhang Anshi.
But Zhang Anshi had already come towards them, bowed to them and said, "Did you get it? Did you get it? I taught it. I didn't do very well in the exam, so I only got the first place."
Zeng Xiao laughed out of embarrassment.
Zhou Shu and Zhou Mengjian only shook their heads.
"Missed?" Zhang Anshi said.
Zeng Qi had no choice but to say with a bitter face, "I got hit."
"That's right." Zhang Anshi said: "It's amazing. From now on, you and my Gu Xingzu are the same age. You are older than him, so you have to take care of him more. Remember my name. My name is Zhang Anshi. I belong to Cheng Enbo Zhang Anshi." Zhang, Cheng En Bo Zhang Anshi's world, Cheng En Bo Zhang..."
Hearing this, Zeng Di's expression changed.
The expressions of the scholars around them all changed.
All eyes were on Zhang Anshi.
Zeng Qi subconsciously said: "Could it be Zhang Anshi, the doctor of Guozixue Zhengyitang, the wife and brother of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Zhang Anshi did not expect that his Ph.D. title was actually louder than his title, and he was happier. He said with a smile, "It's me, it's me..."
A few of them had a strange face, and they couldn't speak for a while.
But the scholars who were reading the list around here suddenly became overwhelmed.
At first, when I heard that Huiyuan, who was ranked first, was from the Northern Zhili, those northern scholars who scolded the southerners for occupying the list were speechless.
That's right, didn't the people from Beizhi Li also got the first place in the exam?
At this time, it would be unreasonable to take the difference between the North and the South as an example.
At least it blocked the mouths of many people.
This Gu Xingzu can be regarded as a proud person for the people from the north.
But after a short period of calm, someone flew into a rage again.
"Unfair, unfair... This Gu Xingzu is the grandson of Marquis Zhenyuan. The teacher who taught him... is Zhang Anshi. Zhang Anshi is the son-in-law of the crown prince. His Royal Highness presides over the imperial examinations. Could it be that you have leaked the questions?"
These words were like thunder.
All of a sudden, everyone's emotions were ignited.
An indescribable anger quickly rippled through the hearts of all the candidates.
In the far corner, a person stood alone, looking out of tune with the people around him.
This person is Yang Shiqi.
Although Yang Shiqi didn't agree with Zhang Anshi, he still cared about Gu Xingzu, so he also asked the Imperial Academy for leave this time, and came to see the list specially.
When I saw that Gu Xingzu was at the top of the list, I was extremely surprised.
You know, Yang Shiqi was not even a Jinshi. He used to feel ashamed because he was not a Jinshi.
But now... Gu Xingzu is actually the title on the gold list, unexpectedly the first place on the list.
Yang Shiqi's heart was tumbling, and he was too frightened to speak.
Stereotyped... is this how it is done?
It doesn't matter about talent, let alone family history, but it's just deconstructing stereotypes, delving into the methods of stereotypes, doing and solving problems every day?
He smiled wryly, and immediately became happy for Gu Xingzu.
The son of the Marquis, of course, doesn't need to care about the title on the gold list, but if a person who can inherit the Marquis is also a Jinshi, or even tops the list, then his future prospects will definitely be limitless.
Yang Shiqi was about to turn around and prepare to leave.
But suddenly, the crowd erupted with unprecedented anger.
At this moment, Yang Shiqi stopped, and he was a little worried. Although Zhang Anshi and Gu Xingzu won the top spot, but... also aroused public outrage.
How does this end?
But everyone here, how could they know that the more angry Zhang Anshi is, the happier Zhang Anshi is, this is double the happiness!
He even noticed that the talented scholars from Jishui County behind Zeng Dian were even more furious.
After all, if there is no Gu Xingzu, their rankings can all advance one step, and every improvement in their rankings will have huge benefits for their future.
Even Zeng Qi showed displeasure.
He stepped forward and said awe-inspiringly: "Cheng Enbo, now everyone is saying that the East Palace leaks the title, the so-called three people become a tiger, people's words are terrifying, please ask Cheng Enbo to clarify one or two things."
Scholars are amazing, especially such an excellent scholar as Zeng Qi.
He questioned Zhang Anshi, and when he opened his mouth, someone said that it had nothing to do with him anyway, but his target was directed at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi clasped his hands, but laughed loudly: "Are you accusing my brother-in-law of plotting rebellion?"
With this rhetorical question, the arrogance of Zeng Dian and others changed, and they took a step back slightly.
Qiu Song even grinned and took out the gunpowder bag.
It's a pity... the deterrent power of his gunpowder bag is not as big as Zhang Anshi's mouth.
Scholars don't know what this thing is, and no one takes it seriously when playing with this thing in front of ignorant people.
Zhang Anshi said calmly: "However, since you have doubts, that would be great."
After a pause, Zhang Anshi said again: "Bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I know you are not convinced. I will let me, an incompetent student, just do the questions on the spot."
"..." Zeng Chi and the others did not respond yet.
Others clamored, "Let's see how good this meeting is."
Gu Xingzu's eyes lit up when he heard that he had to do the question again.
In the past few days, he has been dragged by Zhang Anshi or Zhu Yong to fry fish, hang out, and do nothing.
But he was actually depressed and unhappy in his heart, and he always felt that something was missing in his life.
This boring fun doesn't seem to arouse his interest.
Only the kind of questions that have been achieved to the extreme, the kind that have climbed one peak after another, brought out their potential to the extreme, and finally stood on the mountain peak, even if that feeling is only for a moment, it also makes Gu Xingzu have an inexplicable feeling. Refreshing.
At this time, I saw Zhang Anshi saying: "Whoever leaves today is the grandson, don't leave, let you open your eyes."
Many scholars stopped and had to stand holding their noses. Scholars want to save face and don't want to be grandchildren.
Zeng Chi and the others were even more suspicious, they exchanged glances with each other, and at this moment there was a nail under their feet, and they refused to leave even if they died.
So someone brought a long table, and someone went to fetch pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Zhang Anshi calmly shouted: "Whoever comes up with the question, you find someone to come up with the question."
"I'm coming!" Zeng Di stepped forward.
He is a talented scholar of Jishui, with a high reputation. With him in front, no one can jump out of the thorn.
Zhang Anshi looked at him calmly and said, "You go out."
Zeng Chi took two steps, then said: "It must be so that there is no praise."
Not a truncated question.
But... Many scholars took a deep breath when they heard this.
This question was only conceivable by Zeng Kai, and it was quite difficult, at least much more difficult than the exam questions in this subject.
Gu Xingzu frowned, showing that the boss was not happy.
Seeing his reaction, Zeng Qi smiled and said, "Why, why didn't Gu Huiyuan mention his pen?"
Gu Xingzu said unhappily: "The question is too easy."
He does calculus, and he is really not interested in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
But when everyone heard it, they couldn't help being shocked, and some people sneered and said: "I'm afraid it can't be done."
Zeng Wei's face became even more rigid, it was too easy to talk about the questions, it was questioning his level!
It was Zhu Yong who was in a hurry, and gave Gu Xingzu a headshot, cursing and saying: "If you are asked to do the problem, then do the problem. Why are you so busy."
Gu Xingzu snorted, picked up the pen obediently, and dipped in the ink.
After thinking about it for a while, I began to write calmly.
Seeing him like this, everyone was shocked again.
To write so soon?
When you do the questions, you often need to think over and over again. If an exam is two hours, then at least one hour is the draft.
Zeng Kai's face was solemn, he walked forward, while looking at the broken topic written by Gu Xingzu, he read: "Those who submit to the lawsuit are waiting to be heard, those who are politicians actually make it so."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was quiet.
This problem solving is not only fast, but also echoes the problem.
Of course, the most important thing is that this sentence is completely in line with the Four Books and Five Classics.
This is the most important thing. There are countless talented people in history, but they often fail in the imperial examinations. The fundamental reason is that the so-called stereotypes are essentially speaking on behalf of saints.
In other words, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart, what matters is that you are just a parrot, constantly expounding the views of a sage.
Many people exclaimed, and many people bowed their heads secretly, thinking in their hearts, if it was me, would I be able to solve the problem better than this person?
What's more, Gu Xingzu's impromptu composition is really terrifying.
At this time, I saw Gu Xingzu writing again, Zeng Chan said: "If the husband says there is no lawsuit, he will say it from the bottom, and if he says that there will be no lawsuit, he will say it from the top. This is what my master cares about."
As soon as the question came out, no one doubted it anymore, only countless amazed voices.
This is a fucking genius, and this question is extremely sophisticated, which means: the so-called no litigation is from the perspective of ordinary people, and the non-existence of litigation is from the perspective of those in power. The realm expected by the saints.
Because the most difficult part of this question is that the sage hopes to rule the country with virtue.
Litigation is reality, and the rule of virtue is the expectation of saints.
There is conflict and contradiction between the two.
If you directly ignore the reality and only advocate the words of the saints, it will inevitably appear pedantic.
But if we respect reality, it will be difficult to justify the rule of virtue advocated by Confucius.
Ever since, this inheritance topic was analyzed directly from the perspectives of the common people, the rulers, and the sage Confucius, and the succession of the problem was ingenious and neatly contrasted.
In the process of reciting, Zeng Di's expression has actually changed.
He continued to chant.
The more you recite, the weirder your face becomes.
He is confident that he can make such an article, and he may even do better than this article.
But... there is absolutely no Gu Xingzu's ability to draw a conclusion.
Halfway through the recitation, Zeng Wei blushed unnaturally, and suddenly stopped reading, bowing his hands to Gu Xingzu with a face of shame: "Gu Tongnian is a talented person, Zeng is so ashamed, he is so polite."
The rest were just dumbfounded.
What Gu Xingzu snatched away was Zeng Di's first place, and now even Zeng Di is convinced, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?
So... everyone was bored.
I wanted to scold something, but found that there seemed to be nothing to scold.
Examiners cheated?
Doesn't exist, isn't this an on-site inspection?
This person has real level.
Southern scholars occupy a large number of places, especially No. 2 to No. 7 are occupied by Jiangxi scholars, but No. 1 is a person from the Northern Zhili, what can I say?
It can only be said that the skills are inferior to people.
Zhang Anshi crossed his hands and said with a loud laugh: "Student Zeng also did very well in the exam, and being able to get second place is also admirable. I'll tell you the truth, I'm a student, I don't have much talent... I used to study in the Hall of Justice, A few months ago, even the articles were not complete."
Zeng Chi and the others turned pale with shock.
A few months of hard work...is it completely reborn?
terrible!
The scholars were also silent. They just felt that what happened today was completely beyond their imagination.
Zhang Anshidao: "It's all thanks to my teaching, the teacher, the one who teaches karma and solves doubts. I am ashamed that I spend too little time on Gu Xingzu on weekdays."
"..."
Everyone is impatient to listen. This kind of bragging makes people feel only troubled.
But Zhang Anshi said with relish: "Fortunately, he is still hardworking, and my hard work was not in vain. After all, he still learned three or four points of my skills."
"Huh..."
Everyone can no longer tell how much of this bragging is involved.
I saw Zhang Anshi continued: "However, I have compiled a book with my stereotyped experience in the past few days. This book is called 'Zhang Anshi's Stereotyped Writing Talk'. Some of my experience with stereotyped writing has cost me a lot of effort, and they are all superficial knowledge, I’m afraid they will make everyone laugh. Okay, okay, let’s all give way, let’s give way..."
After all, under all the complicated eyes, Zhang Anshi and others... walked away.
…………
Take care of your home.
At this moment.
Several governors came to visit with a jar of old wine.
Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng hurriedly greeted him personally.
Everyone was familiar with him at the beginning. Gu Cheng used to be a hero in the founding of the country, but later he surrendered to Zhu Di and became a hero in Jingnan. Therefore, he and Wei Guogong Xu Huizu are old acquaintances.
After everyone is seated.
"Don't say anything, drink." Zhu Neng said with a smile.
Drink a few glasses of wine.
There will be more words.
Zhu Neng patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder and said: "We all know that your grandson has participated in the imperial examination. I want to say that the grandson of a dignified Marquis of Zhenyuan will inherit the title. What does the imperial examination count as? Old Gu, you are better than me." Elder, we don't care about this shit Jinshi, don't take it to heart."
Gu Cheng was a little confused: "What...what do you mean..."
Qiu Fu sighed, and said regretfully: "It's nothing, it's nothing, he's just like this, he likes to talk nonsense, and he gets messed up when he drinks."
Gu Cheng became frightened instead, and couldn't help saying: "Why do you seem to have something to say, just say what you have to say, if you don't say it, I feel panicked."
Qiu Fu said: "It's nothing, I just heard that your grandson cried because of the test, hey... What a poor child, those doctors... insist he can take the test, isn't this a joke? Who are we, Jiangmen! Jiangmen's disciples, why join in the fun with scholars!"
"Old Gu, don't take it to heart. In fact, it's just a matter of taking the exam. Who cares about taking the exam? Our descendants are not material for studying. They are fucked... I have something to say first, this must be Zhang Anshi's bad idea, you He knows about my son, my son is so stupid, he can't think of such a shitty thing."
Gu Cheng: "..."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Neng also quickly took the opportunity to say: "My son can't think of it, you can see it if you look at me, I am so stupid, how can my son be better, let's talk first, there is no wrong. The owner of the first debt..."
Xu Huizu, Duke of the State of Wei, felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He glanced at Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu with contempt, then bowed his head and drank his wine.
Gu Cheng's face is very ugly, why do you feel that these people are here to poke their hearts on purpose?
He said, "My grandson... works very hard."
"Yes yes yes, I know he works hard, he is a good boy." Zhu Neng said.
Gu Cheng sighed and said, "If you don't pass the exam...you definitely won't pass the exam, but you have ambition."
"That's right, that's right." Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng both slapped their thighs: "If you have ambition, if you have ambition, a man must have ambition. The so-called knowing that you can't do it."
"However, do you think... is there a possibility, maybe, he is lucky... is it a fluke?" Gu Cheng said cautiously with some expectations.
Zhu Neng stared: "With him?"
Qiu Fu pressed his hands: "Brother Zhu, don't say that. It's understandable that Gu cares about his grandson. Who doesn't want their grandchildren to be successful?"
"But Lao Gu... It's not like I said, your grandson will cry and shout that he can't do the questions during the exam. This exam is done by those scholars who have studied hard for more than ten years. Your grandson, you Touch your conscience, think about it carefully, think about it carefully, is it possible?"
After Gu Cheng listened, he didn't say anything more.
He thought, impossible.
So I couldn't help but get a little red in my eyes: "I also know...it's just...it must be very uncomfortable to see him work so hard on weekdays, and now his name is lost to Sun Shan, hey...don't say it, don't say it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Come on. , drink, drink, and get drunk."
Everyone toasted, all thinking about their own thoughts, each of them was speechless, just immersed in drinking.
"Clang clang clang..."
There was a sudden sound of gongs outside, and it was very lively.
Suddenly a door stumbled over and said hurriedly: "Master, master...someone outside...surrounded our house."
Gu Cheng was so drunk right now that he hadn't spoken yet...
Zhu Neng was cursing: "Damn it, who is it?"
"It's here to announce the good news, to announce the good news, Young Master Sun... Young Master Sun...he has passed high school!"
The people at the wine table fell silent at first.
After a brief silence, Gu Cheng was the first to jump up: "High school? What's wrong with high school?"
"The little ones don't know either, they just say they're here to please money...Master, go and have a look."
With a whoosh, that veteran general disappeared without a trace.
Only Zhu Neng was left looking at each other.
Afterwards, these people also hurriedly left the table and hurried to the front yard.
At this time, the door of the front yard has been opened.
A swarm of people rushed in.
The leader was Ying Tianfu's guards, beating the gong.
The helpers in the back were blowing out-of-tune suona.
As for the people who looked around all the way, I don't know how many.
Whenever it was time to release the rankings, it would be profitable to go to announce the good news. The high school family, no matter how poor they were, would still be willing to spend money to reward them.
So there are more and more people around.
As soon as Gu Cheng came over, an officer stepped forward in front of him, holding a red paper in his hand, and shouted: "Congratulations, congratulations, Lord Hou..."
Gu Cheng said tremblingly: "Gong... Congratulations on what... why are you so happy..."
What a calm and composed person he was, even on the battlefield, with countless swords, lights and swords, he never frowned.
But now, he was in a mess.
"Congratulations to Lingsun Gu Xingzu High School..."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Cheng's body couldn't hold on anymore, and his legs began to feel like they were stepping on cotton.
High... high school.
"Yes...is that right, my grandson has won a Jinshi...this...how is this possible..." He trembled, his throat trembling.
"Exactly!"
"Hahahaha..." Gu Cheng started to laugh.
All of a sudden, the chest suddenly straightened.
He felt that this life was worth it, it was all worth it, even if he were to die now, he would be willing.
In the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was no precedent for the sons of Xunchen's high school scholars, but his grandson directly broke this record.
This is the most terrifying thing, which means that his grandson has become a role model for the entire Ming Dynasty, who has never been seen before, and may never be seen again.
He takes care of his family... Is he still afraid that he will not have the grace?
With such a family background and qualifications, it will be a breeze no matter whether he becomes a Marquis or a Prime Minister in the future.
Gu Cheng laughed wildly.
The person who announced the good news hadn't finished speaking yet, so he was in a hurry.
After hearing this, Zhu Neng and the others were all dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.
The person who announced the good news continued: "Master Hou...Master Hou, the one who made Sun Senior High School is the top of the list...it is the Yuan of Jinkehui..."
"Hahaha……"
Gu Cheng, who was still laughing wildly, suddenly stopped laughing.
Then, he fell into a deathly silence.
Zhu Neng and the others also looked shocked, their eyes were already bigger than copper bells.
Gu Cheng murmured in a low voice: "Huiyuan...Huiyuan...is that the same as the first achievement? It's like...when Li Shanchang..."
The person who announced the good news said: "In this subject, there is no one who can do better in the exam than Ling Sun, and Ling Sun beats all the scholars in the world."
poof...
Gu Cheng fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"..."
The Hou Mansion was in chaos.
Countless people screamed.
Fortunately, Zhu Neng was a professional, stepped forward and grabbed Gu Cheng, and directly used physical therapy, slapping him both left and right.
Gu Cheng finally woke up, and then coughed desperately.
Then: "Hahahahahaha... You all heard it, my grandson is Huiyuan, my grandson is Huiyuan, I knew he was smart since I was a child, and his father was also very smart when he was not dead, God bless Gu family, this is because my son has a spirit in the sky..."
After finishing speaking, Gu Cheng burst into tears again.
After crying, Gu Cheng turned over. At this time, he didn't have the dignity of Lord Hou at all. He grabbed someone and said, "My grandson is Huiyuan. That's right. That's right, thanks to Zhang Anshi, thanks to Dr. Zhang, Dr. Zhang taught well, taught well, hahaha..."
Zhu Neng on the side couldn't help muttering: "My son also deserves credit..."
But these words are sour after all.
Qiu Fu: "..."
Wei Guogong Xu Huizu had an inadvertent look of joy on his face, and he actually felt that his waist had straightened a lot.At this moment, one could look down on Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, and cast contemptuous glances majestically.
"Rewards, there are big rewards, everyone who comes has a reward, haha, come, come, give everyone a reward, set up a running water mat, set up a running water mat in Sanjie Street, let the left and right neighbors eat for three days."
After crying, Gu Cheng crossed his hands, waved his big hand, and said proudly: "What's the use of asking for money, the children and grandchildren will be promising... This family business will not be defeated. Each person will be rewarded with three taels of silver."
The person who announced the good news was very happy when he heard it. This is really the right place. Going to someone else’s house to announce the good news is just a reward, and here is directly giving money.
At this time, Gu Cheng turned his head, looked at Qiu Fu and the others, and said with a smile: "Haha, I have something to do today, I'm afraid I won't be able to greet you brothers, you can do what you want."
Qiu Fu: "..."
So Qiu Fu and the others left the Hou's mansion resentfully, like bereaved dogs.
"Ah bah." Zhu Neng said cursingly: "I knew it earlier, I have to tell him that my son also deserves credit. Why am I so stupid, I'm out of my head!"
…………
In Wulou.
At this time, Zhu Di was sitting here.
Prince Zhu Gaochi leaned over and sat under Zhu Di.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han who wanted to join in the fun, could only stand there. He was a little aggrieved, and his father had become more and more contemptuous of him.
The four of Xie Jin had already come to reply the order early in the morning.
They can only be responsible for grading the papers, delineating the winners and ranking them.
After that, there is nothing to do with them, because for the sake of justice, it is necessary to ensure that the examiners do not know the names of the winners before revealing the list.
All the circled papers will be sorted out by a special person, and then a list will be made and posted.
Xie Jin and the others only know which article the high school student wrote, but now they don't know who the winner is.
Of course, they are looking forward to it now.
Before the candidates entered Beijing, they knew that there were many outstanding juniors from their hometowns participating in the imperial examination.
For example, Zeng Qi, Zhou Shu, Zhou Mengqi, etc., but they don't know whether they can be included in the gold list.
"Isn't the list delivered yet?" Zhu Di was obviously very concerned about this imperial examination.
"Your Majesty, as soon as the list comes out, before it is posted, a special person will rush to send the list into the palace. It's just that the Forbidden City is a long way from the Gongyuan, so I'm afraid it will take some time." Xie Jin stepped forward and said.
