The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 81

[81. Chapter 81 Teaching and educating people]

Liu Wenshan used to have a short temper, and he had the most sense of justice. His temperament was similar to Xie Qian’s.

But now, although he wanted to speak but stopped, he actually held it back. He still looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. The old monk sat still. All things are impermanent, and everything that exists must die. If he is not attached to birth and death, his heart can There is no thought in silence. Liu Wenshan is quite calm and composed like a young Buddhist.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but secretly nodded, yes, yes, the boy can be taught.

Among the three, Jiang Chen was the youngest. He frowned and couldn’t help but feel sympathy. After a long time, he hesitated and said: “Well… En Mansion… students think that En Mansion shouldn’t… shouldn’t Killing Tang Jieyuan, this… This is an insult to gentlemen…”

Fang Jifan glared at him fiercely, with no future, he shouted: “Nonsense, it was clearly Tang Jieyuan who beat up his teacher…”

Jiang Chen did not dare to say anything. He said: “This is what my teacher taught me.”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Scholars in this era are really obedient. Being a master is better than being a father. He smiled: “Next, it’s time to teach you how to read. This time, I will let you trample this brat like Tang Yin under your feet.”

Liu Wenshan said, “What do you want to teach your students?”

“Quickly answer the question!” Fang Jifan said with great plausibility.

“With your IQ…” Fang Jifan is a very upright person: “It is difficult to stand out in the examination. The only way is to brush up on the questions. This is the stupidest way. There are still more than two months until Spring. During the time, I ask you to do the questions every day. You must write two eight-legged essays in one day and set the questions for me. “

Of course, the questions must contain the real test questions of this spring. In fact, Fang Jifan had already asked this question and asked them to write more than a dozen articles, but obviously this was not enough. Since they did not have IQ or Tang Yin’s talent, they had to use stupid methods.

This spring, Li Dongyang was the examiner. Although the emperor has not yet decided on the candidate, historically, Li Dongyang was the examiner, and Li Dongyang’s character has also been recorded in history. He has also handed down several articles. These articles, Fang Jifan was once used as important information on Li Dongyang’s character and conduct in the Ming History Archives.

Based on these, we can draw Li Dongyang’s personal preferences. After all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Everyone has different preferences for articles. Some people like refreshing ones, while others like stable ones.

In addition, there is the issue of avoiding fraud cases.

The provincial examination is different from the provincial examination. The provincial examination is a small competition and there are not many examiners involved. For example, in the rural examination in Yingtianfu, Wang Ao is the examiner. He is responsible for all up and down matters. As long as Wang Ao does not have any problems, then There is no way anyone would even think of cheating.

The examination is a big competition. In addition to appointing the chief examiner, the imperial court will also appoint officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Imperial College as examiners. Because there are so many people, it is inevitable that malpractice may occur.

For example, the last time Wang Ao took the exam, even if three dark horses appeared after the results were released, no one would doubt it. The main reason was that the only examiner was Wang Ao, and there was no possibility that anyone else could handle it. And Wang Ao is a first-rate gentleman in the world. The emperor had great trust in him, and no one in the civil or military officials dared to find fault with him. If anyone dared to question Wang Tianguan, he would probably be the spitting star of the world before the court thought it was a false accusation. Drowned.

This time, of course, there was no problem with Li Dongyang, who was taking the exam, but it was different for the examiners below, such as Cheng Minzheng. Of course, Fang Jifan confirmed from various historical materials that he could roughly conclude that Cheng Minzheng did not cheat. In fact, it was impossible for him to do it for Two fellow countrymen acted so boldly.

The problem is that… the township party is often inseparable from human relations. When scholars from the hometown come to the capital, they want to visit, right? When they visit, they want to give gifts, right? After giving the gift, you still have to sit down and compliment each other, right? After the compliment is over, you still have to say, ah, this calligraphy treasure by Mr. Cheng is really a rare treasure. The student is so shameless, please ask Mr. Cheng to give this calligraphy treasure to the student, right? This calligraphy treasure is given as a gift, but it cannot be taken for nothing. After all, Cheng Gong’s calligraphy treasure is a rare treasure. Take it back and frame it in the study, it can shine for future generations. What should I do? Let me know about the retouching fee.

This back and forth is like a GOU man and woman hooking up with CHENGJIAN. If people like Tang Yin didn’t pass the exam, they would be jealous. If they did, some people would inevitably be jealous. However, when most people visit Mr. Cheng, it is just a visit. After all, you are not famous and keep a low profile. Naturally, no one will trouble you. It turns out that you, Xu Jing and Tang Yin, are both Jiangnan talents, and you really like drinking. When you drink, you have to brag. After bragging, everything is shaken out. As a result, you are still in high school…

This… it’s unreasonable to think about it endlessly.

Fang Jifan didn’t like Xu Jing, nor did he like Cheng Minzheng. In his opinion, they ended up in this fate because of themselves. Officials of the dignified court, as well as future reserve officials of the country, did not work well for the sake of the old Zhu family. There are nobles like the Fang family, who govern the world well, and let the old Zhu family and the old Fang family continue to live in drunkenness and sleep, eat and wait for death. You actually still play the tricks of the township party. No matter whether this fraud case is unjust or not, you are seeking death. .

The reason why Tang Yin was saved was because Fang Jifan knew that Tang Yin was not such a worldly person when he was in Jiangnan. This time, it was because of changes in his family and his family was in decline, so he had no choice but to be encouraged by Xu Jing to pursue a career. People can be saved, not to mention, this guy is still half his idol.

So…the first thing to do to prevent being considered as fraud is to build a firewall.

For example, Fang Jifan strictly prohibited his three disciples from going out to make friends. Youwei teacher plays happily with you every day. Do you still need friends?

In addition to preventing them from contact with people, on the other hand, beating Tang Yin protected not only Tang Yin, but also Fang Jifan and his three disciples.

Nowadays, everyone in the capital is paying attention to this bet. Fang Jifan’s reputation is completely stinking in the circle of scholars. Everyone keeps a distance from him. As for other civil servants… they can only use “hehe” To describe it, to put it bluntly, even if an examiner wants to leak the question, Fang Jifan will be waiting in line from his door to Chongwenmen. Everyone who can be an examiner is a Qingliu official. What is Qingliu? What does Qingliu mean? A scholar-official with high moral character and high reputation, not to mention it was a leak, but even if he met Fang Jifan on the street and said hello to Fang Jifan, his reputation might also be ruined.

This made Fang Jifan feel smug. In fact, this young master is still very intelligent.

The New Year is approaching, and then relatives have to interact with each other.

The Fang family moved the capital to the capital with Emperor Wen, and actually had many relatives, and most of these close and distant relatives were relatives of the emperor, such as the British Duke Zhang Mao. In fact, Fang Jifan had an aunt who was the brother of the British Duke Zhang Mao. Zhang Jian’s wife, of course, such a complicated relationship is too messy. Fang Jinglong’s face looks better than before this year. He feels that he is quite glorious. His son has made a fortune and has become the companion of His Highness the Crown Prince. Now he has three disciples , it’s time to sharpen the knife again, and when visiting relatives, it’s also very exciting.

Fang Jifan took a few days’ leave to train three disciples, but he couldn’t let go of his errand in Zhan Shi’s Mansion, so he obediently went to work in Zhan Shi’s Mansion.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the safety of Zhan Shifu is very important. How could the loyal Mr. Fang Qi, who is also Zhan Shifu’s companion, not be here?

In fact, at the end of the year, many officials in Zhan Shi’s Mansion had to take a holiday, that is, they were on annual leave. Fang Jifan felt that Zhan Shi’s Mansion was much colder, and many familiar faces were missing, and he couldn’t help but feel sad, even though Fang Jifan did not recognize them. .

When we arrived at Zhanshi Mansion, we naturally had to go see His Highness the Crown Prince first. When we arrived at the main hall, we saw that His Highness the Crown Prince had met Fang Jifan and deliberately wrapped his neck with his lapel. Fang Jifan looked straight at his neck, and Zhu Houzhao glared at him. One glance: “What are you looking at?”

Fang Jifan smiled: “His Highness was beaten again?”

Why do you say again?

Uh…this seems like an awkward question.
