Chapter 221: To the Court
The public hall of the tribute courtyard is thirteen purlins and five ridges hanging on the top of the mountain, the glazed tube tile roof, and the scale is grand from afar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the wall behind Wang Shizhen, there is a portrait of the Holy Master, but I saw Sage Kong standing with his hands arched, quiet and solemn, and thoughtful, looking at the people in the hall.
Wang Shizhen smiled and asked the officials what they thought of Lin Yanchao.
Lin Yanchao, who is Wang Shizhen's personal order, of course needs to give him face, and an official at the moment smiled flatteringly: "Xie Yuanlang is full of heaven, and at a glance, you can see that he is a smart person, and the president is really discerning." ”
Most officials, however, remained silent.
At this moment, some sharp-eyed people have already seen that it seems that the matter of taking Lin Yanchao as Xie Yuan seems to be not so unified among the examiners, is there something strange about this?
Wang Shizhen asked Lin Yanchao, "I heard that you were sick when you were in the literary field?" So much so that when the list was released, he couldn't come. ”
Lin Yanchao said: "Back to the president's words, the disciple did feel the wind chill after three games, and President Lao was worried." ”
Wang Shizhen said: "That's not easy. ‘
At this time, an examiner on the side suddenly said: "Your Excellency, the lower official has a few words I want to ask Xie Yuanlang, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"Ask!" Wang Shizhen nodded.
The official looked at Lin Yanchao and said with a straight face: "This official asks you, I heard that a month ago, you wrote a book called "Shangshu Ancient Texts and Evidence", is there any?" ”
It's all questioning.
Lin Yanchao said: "The words of the Lord Hui were written by the disciples. ”
The examiner said abruptly: "At a young age, I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, but I am not ashamed to speak up and dare to question the ancients." If this official had seen this book earlier, he would never have taken you, and he would have thought that he had read the book for a few years. How dare you speak up? ”
Lin Yanchao listened to this person's words and knew that the other party was the same examiner, that is, he took his own room master. According to the rules of officialdom, this person is his own teacher, and he has the right to reprimand himself like this, otherwise someone else will ask him so. will also be tactful, and will not call you directly, at least give Xie Yuanlang.
And several other jealous Lin Yanchao on the side raised people, and immediately gloated when they heard this. Lin Yanchao was so arrogant that he questioned the ancients, how could such a person be worthy of Xie Yuan, he really wanted to stop him immediately.
Among the people in the same township as Lin Yanchao, there are also one or two who have read Lin Yanchao's ancient texts, and they felt that this book was nonsense at that time, and they were not ashamed. Even if you use it to pad the table legs, it feels thin.
These people said with a slight smile. It's stupid, tell you to eat and support what books to write and what to say, now it's okay, lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot, maybe you will lose Xie Yuan.
In fact, when Lin Yanchao's name was listed, when the list was filled. When he learned that Lin Yanchao was not an old Confucian, but only a fifteen-year-old boy. The examiners who had been recommending Lin Yanchao as the first volume were also in an uproar.
Although the Ming Dynasty has a tradition of raising prodigies. Yang Tinghe also has the myth of being lifted at the age of twelve, but fifteen-year-old Xie Yuan is really the first time.
If you want to raise a prodigy, then you must also be a real prodigy, if you don't attach it to the truth, it will become a joke in the future.
Everyone didn't dare to break this wilderness rashly. Instead, it was suggested that Lin Yanchao be demoted to admission, and some people even suggested that he should follow Zhang Juzheng's example back then and deliberately fail him off the list, so as to sharpen it more and become a great tool.
But Tao Tixue tried his best to protect Lin Yanchao. Directly, the princes have not revealed their names, and they push this sub-article as the first, why did they dare not insist on their own opinions after they were revealed. What is the difference between this and judging people by their appearance?
After that, Tao Tixue also took out Lin Yanchao's resume to show everyone.
The officials looked at Lin Yanchao's resume and suddenly had nothing to say, he entered school at the age of fourteen, he was in the middle of the field, the top ten in the county examination, the first in the government examination, and the second in the hospital examination.
Such a resume is not called a prodigy, what is a prodigy?
Everyone was convinced, and the middle move was well deserved, and it was only slightly elevated that everyone felt that it was only slightly elevated.
In the end, Wang Shizhen made a decision and said, Zhu Gong originally took this son as the first, but now he is forced to change his name due to the opinion of outsiders, which is the difference from Zeng Zeng's participation in killing.
So Wang Shizhen, Tao Ti's academic ability was overstated, and Lin Yanchao was still designated as Xie Yuan as the old proposal. However, many officials were still not convinced, and if the old Confucian was convinced, a fifteen-year-old student would be unbelievable.
After the list was released, a scholar who fell off the list quietly made a statement, saying that Lin Yanchao wrote a book for Shangshu at a young age. Therefore, Lin Yanchao, the house master, also stood up at this time and openly questioned that if something happened in the future, he would be able to clear up his involvement.
At that moment, Lin Yanchao said: "What Master Fang has taught is that the disciple is indeed a little arrogant. It's just that the disciple read Zhu Zi's book since he was a child, and saw that Zhu Zi suspected that the ancient text of Shangshu was fake, so he devoted himself to studying it and wrote a book to inform everyone of Zhu Zi's doubts, which is also adhering to the learning of the sages. ”
Hearing this, the examiners' expressions softened slightly, and Lin Yanchao did not argue with reason, but first admitted his mistakes, and then said his own reasoning, giving face to the same examiner.
As for Zhu Xi being a master of science, Lin Yanchao said that adhering to Zhu Xi's doubts and questioning the ancient texts and books is not bad at all.
The room master listened to Lin Yanchao's words, so he nodded and didn't say anything more.
Another official said: 'Books can be written, but you are young enough to have some skills to write the books of sages.' Don't say that you haven't taken the Xie Yuan yet, even if you take the Xie Yuan, do you dare to call yourself a great Confucian in the world? The scriptures are written by the scholars, you dare to say that you are Bogu and the present? ‘
At this time, Tao Tixue said: 'Your Excellency does not know, this son has the ability to recite with his eyes. ‘
'Reciting in a flash? Don't talk about it! The officer looked incredulous.
The scholars below were also in an uproar, and they couldn't believe that there were really people in this world who could recite.
Tao Tixue smiled, looking too lazy to say anything more to you.
One of the priests smiled and said, "You may not know it, but this is not a secret in Lianjiang Academy. I heard from his classmates that it only took him three months to memorize the entire collection of Cheng Wen of the Four Books and Five Classics, and nothing was missed. Do you dare to ask ordinary people if it takes 20 years to do it? ‘
Hearing what the officials said, everyone present was stunned, especially the people present, which they wanted to do but couldn't.
On weekdays they disdainfully refer to this skill as dead reading. People who read like this are called two-legged bookcases, but if they are replaced, they wish they had such ability.
Immediately, everyone present was in an uproar.
"Memorizing millions of words in three months? You're not nonsense? ”
The priest smiled and said, 'If you don't believe me, just ask.' ‘
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the people suddenly said: "The late-born Lin Shibi can testify!" (To be continued.) )
