Chapter 295: There is no vanity under fame

The north-south volume came from the north-south case in the early Ming Dynasty, when the chief examiner Liu Sanwu presided over the spring examination, and 51 people were taken, all of whom were southerners, and none of them were taken from the north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard this, put Liu Sanwu in prison, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but the results of a thorough investigation showed that Liu Sanwu did not cheat for personal gain, and it was true that there were drawbacks of grammar in the papers of the northern scholars.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe this result, thinking that it was the protection of officials, so he presided over the examination again and recruited 63 people, all of whom were from the north.

From then on, the Ming Dynasty established the system of the north and south volumes, and the scholars were selected according to the geographical distribution quota.

At the rate of 100 scholars, 55 scholars from the southern scroll, 35 scholars from the northern scroll, and 10 scholars from the middle scroll.

This time the system has been set from then on, and as an aside, the Yuan Dynasty will take the exam as it is, but according to a hundred people, Mongolians, Semu, Han, and Nanren will each take 25 people.

Yang Shiqi, one of the three important ministers in the early Ming Dynasty, had such a conversation with Ming Renzong.

Yang Shiqi said that the imperial examination should be taken from both the north and the south, and Renzong said that the northerners are far less knowledgeable than the southerners. Yang Shiqi said that the talents of the north are all out of the north, and although the southerners are talented, they are frivolous.

Injong asked, what should I do?

Yang Shiqi said that his name was kept silent, and he was divided into north and south, and talents from the north and south were all included.

Renzong Dao, a good way, in the past, no one in the northerners was on the list, so laziness became a trend, and now the north and south take the scholars, and the northern scholars should rise up.

After that, the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty has been divided into the south, the middle and the north, so the scholar is in the dark, saying that Zhang Juzheng is going to promote his Huguang fellow countrymen, and he will take Huguang scholars in the examination, which is simply nonsense.

Huguang Shizi belongs to the southern list, and it should be with Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian. The competition between these strong provinces in the southern Zhili imperial examination will not occupy the quota of scholars in Sichuan, Guangxi and other provinces in the middle volume, as well as Shandong, Shanxi, and Beizhili provinces in the northern volume.

The words were based on facts and reasoning, and several people who attacked Zhang Juzheng were red-faced.

Forget it, a few people don't speak, it is already a sign of defeat, but the Huguang Shizi who occupies the reason. but he has to be unforgiving.

This person crossed his eyes and scolded several people: "What if the Gongyuan is burned down? What about sudden heavy rain? Then can't you take the exam? ”

"I don't want to make progress all day long, blame others, maliciously slander Lord Yuan Weng, I am weak and I am reasonable, he is strong and he conspires to say, just a few of you northern scholars are so temperamental, and you still want to be admitted to the Jinshi, just stay in the lifting of people for the rest of your life!"

As he spoke, the man fired the map cannon. satirized a few people, and also dragged the northern scholars into it.

At the moment, the northern scholars present were all angry, and a reprimanded scholar arched his hand and said: "This brother is generous, he doesn't put my northern scholar in his eyes, dare to ask the name of the high surname, and after the list is released, let me wait to see it?" ”

The scholar sneered and said, "Xiao Liangyou in Lower Hanyang!" ”

One person listened and said disdainfully: "Who is my Tao, relying on myself to be from Huguang." I excused others. ”

"What happened to the people of Huguang?"

"And what about us northerners? Do you underestimate us northern readers? ”

Xiao Liangyou also has several fellow villagers 'helping the fist', and the two sides are currently in disputes with individual provinces from Huguang. It suddenly expanded to a dispute between the southern and northern scholars.

The heavy rain continued, and the gantry was not opened for a long time.

Lin Yanchao held an umbrella, carried his luggage, and listened to the mood of staying out of the matter.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there were four classes of people, and the Han people, that is, the northerners, were the third class. The southerners were the fourth class, so at that time, the northerners always looked down on the southerners, and in the Ming Dynasty, the southerners were better than the northerners in the imperial examinations, so the northerners competed. It's the same old tune again. This will try, and the scholars from the south and the north will gather, and it is inevitable that there will be such disputes.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh silently and said in his heart, the regional black god horse is really the most annoying!

"What do you think, this brother?"

Lin Yanchao didn't speak, but a red-faced red-eared scholar who was arguing on the side suddenly asked him.

"By the way, isn't this Lin Xie Yuan from the Fujian Marquis?"

A scholar recognized him and spoke.

At this time, a scholar came out and said: "It turns out that this is Lin Zonghai, who has long admired the name of Li Zhengmeng, and your Excellency is fifteen years old in Xie Yuan, and he is really an example of my southern scholar. ”

After listening to this person's introduction, the scholars next to the dragon gate all looked over and whispered: "It turns out that this person is fifteen-year-old Lin Yanchao of Xie Yuan!" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, this Li Zhengmeng's words had a bit of the intention of killing himself. Lin Yanchao humbly arched his hand to the Quartet and said: "I'm ashamed, it's just luck in the next moment, Brother Li's words made you laugh." ”

Seeing that Lin Yanchao was so humble, everyone immediately said: "Where, I have long admired Lin Jieyuan's name." ”

Li Zhengmeng continued to smile and said: "Lin Jieyuan, you said that if the imperial court abolishes the northern and southern volumes, then how many northern scholars can be on the list?" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked listening.

Lin Yanchao, as a southern scholar, took a position to help the southern scholar speak, but in doing so, he offended the northern scholar. Li Zhengmeng said this, but pushed him to the fire.

Lin Yanchao glanced at Li Zhengmeng, and the other party hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lin Jieyuan, you are presumptuous, if you are too embarrassed, you can not answer." ”

The conspiracy and calculation in the other party's heart were clear in Lin Yanchao's eyes, but this little thing passed by like a floating cloud in his chest. There are such villains every day, and they are afraid to lower their status.

Lin Yanchao looked at the scholars present with a smile and said: "In the next point, it is not enough to talk about it, but since Brother Li asks each other, let's answer it with two sentences in the book!" ”

Li Zhengmeng asked, "Which two sentences?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "There is a saying in the photo book, the northerners are southern, and the southerners and the northerners are expensive!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

After being stunned, Lin Yanchao said again: "There is another sentence, Zilu once asked the sage, how strong is the south? How strong is the North? The sage replied, be gentle and teachable, do not repay the way, the south is strong, the gold is not tired, and the north is strong. ”

After Lin Yanchao finished saying this, the dragon gate was already open.

Lin Yanchao arched his hand and said: "These two sentences are encouraged by you, and you will take the next step first." ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao left with an umbrella, and the rain gradually became lighter at this time.

Everyone left the Gongyuan at the moment, although they didn't say anything, but no one mentioned the dispute between the southern scholars and the northern scholars at the beginning.

Xiao Liangyou looked at Lin Yanchao's back and was silent for a long time.

At this time, Zhang Maoxiu stepped forward with an umbrella and asked Xiao Liangyou, "What does Brother Xiao think of this Lin Jieyuan?" ”

Xiao Liang's arrogant color suddenly disappeared, and he immediately said: "There is no vanity under the real fame!" (To be continued.) )
