Chapter 667: Self-Knowledge
The three princes' loud questioning made the prisoners who gathered from all directions very embarrassed. Among them, it's not that no one wants to open their mouths and ask rhetorically, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can tell the difference between rice and wheat? However, their dissatisfied muttering, as if they had been heard by the third prince, was quickly answered.
"Some people may ask whether Gu knows what is going on in the fields if he knows whether he can get rice and wheat. Heh, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint those who doubt, Lone once followed the teacher Master Zhang to the farmland, rode a buffalo, and saw with his own eyes that the teacher took Ji Jiu, the current first-grade Zhai Chang of Jiuzhangtang, and a few Banshan Hall supervisors to cut wheat in the ground. ”
"Lone is young and frail, so he can't cut wheat with others, but Lone has at least taken his fourth brother to pick up the ears of wheat, and he knows the taste of back pain when he works! My father is still pro-farmer, and the magistrate still wants to persuade farmers, what about you? Lone came here today to see if anyone would feel ashamed, but all I heard was a complaint, and what I saw was a mess! ”
"Lone's teacher, the head of Yue Shan of the East Palace's official Zhaoming Academy is already considered merciful, if it is replaced by his father, or lonely, he will ask those bullshit agricultural policies, what twenty points, not a single point! If you feel unconvinced, those agricultural policies, but I want to print out the agricultural policies of those who are not convinced, so that everyone in the world can read them! ”
As soon as these words came out, the previous prisoners who were full of righteous indignation and shouted the most fiercely only felt that their faces were hot, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and some people trembled, obviously thinking of the result that if their article was printed and let people see it, it would spread everywhere and countless people laughed and had fun.
However, the greater reaction than them was Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye. Before, they thought that pie that fell from the sky was so delicious and tempting, but now they felt how tricky the dilemma they were facing now. Not to mention those inmates, they all want to tear up the total score ranking table outside!
But since he knew that this was impossible, Zhou Xijiu could only bite the bullet and say: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, these prisoners are just young and vigorous, and they rarely have self-knowledge, so they made an excesses for a while, not to question the examination questions of the prince, let alone question the results of the judges' markings......"
Since the king of Jiangdu and Xu Heiyu said that the evaluation papers were all those lectures and readings in the East Palace, Zhou Xijiu knew that it was absolutely impossible to question the results afterwards. I thought that the tallest of the short, anyway, there would always be so many people in the Guozijian who were among the attendants of the East Palace, but who would have thought that the selection of those who should only list the final admissions would be unprecedentedly announced!
And just by looking at the reactions of these prisoners, we know that many people who think very highly of themselves have fallen from their homes, no wonder there is such a big anger! Of course, if this ranking is not announced, there will only be those who are admitted, and maybe there will be all kinds of messy rumors all the rage when they look back, so the East Palace is now putting everything on the bright side, cutting off the back road for people to question!
Therefore, after seeing that he said this, the third prince's face was cold, and it was clear that because of what happened today, the prince, who had a deep prejudice against the Guozijian, was even more dissatisfied, and Zhou Xijiu could only turn his heart sideways, squeezing out a smile and said: "Moreover, it is said that Banshantang also participated in this selection, I don't know what their ranking is, and where is the list announced?" ”
The eyes of the third prince turned cold completely. At this moment, another bear child, who had just been hiding behind him and pretending to be honest, flashed out and smiled at Zhou Saijiu.
"The total score and ranking of Banshan Hall have also come out, but the third brother of the prince thinks that it is a little unsightly to post it near Guozijian, after all, people have now transferred to public schools. Of course, if Da Sicheng insists on it, it is not impossible to post it. ”
Speaking of this, the fourth prince even deliberately emphasized: "Not only the ranking, but also the agricultural policies made by those people in the Mid-Levels Hall, with a score of more than 70 points, can also be posted for everyone to compare the advantages and disadvantages!" Of course, in the Banshan Hall this time, Zhang Wuji, who had the highest total score, was placed in the total ranking of the Sixth Hall of Guozijian, which was also a little inconspicuous. ”
Zhou Saijiu doesn't know where to say, if the third prince has grown from shy and shy to steady and reliable, then the fourth prince is as impulsive and reckless as ever, full of trouble. Now when people say this, he always feels a little bad, but he doesn't want to think that among the scholars behind him, there is a doctor who can't help but speak.
"If that's the case, then post it for everyone to evaluate!"
"Absolutely." With these words, Zhang Shou, who had just come to Yilun Hall with Ah Liu, but was hidden behind the other lecturers, appeared unhurriedly. Seeing the eyes of a group of former colleagues shooting like a prick in a volley, he said with a smile, "Anyway, there are only dozens of people in the Banshan Hall, but it doesn't bother to rank." ”
Seeing that Zhang Shou was so calm and relaxed, many scholars faintly felt that things might be a little wrong. Although some people can't help but secretly slander themselves, thinking that the prince of the third prince deliberately leaked the question to everyone in the Mid-Levels Hall, even the most stupid people will not announce this kind of question.
The emperor is obviously very partial to the prince now, and he suspects the prince for cheating, isn't that looking for death?
And the next words of the third prince once again hit everyone with a heavy blow: "Since the doctor has asked for this, and the teacher has agreed, then so be it, and let the list of the Banshan Hall be posted by the outer imperial attendants." Originally, this screening was scheduled to be once a month, but now look at the reaction, let's change it to once a season. ”
"Lest some people are not ashamed and courageous, but are frightened and dare not take the test again. However, Gu also said in advance, this is an agricultural policy, and in the future, it may be the pastoral superintendent, the sea transportation, and the specific implementation of water conservancy ditches...... You don't have to think about where to prepare an all-encompassing sample essay to deal with. After all, no matter how capable those Fan Wen are, can they compare to the teachers selected by his father for Lonely? ”
"As for the current literature, it is not to mention, I don't think that the current literature of these prisoners in the Guozi Prison, these generals in the Hanlin Academy, who have passed five levels and cut six generals, will be Jinshi and the first, and finally pass the museum selection and stay in the museum, and the Hanlin who is known in the world will not be able to evaluate the level of the splendid article."
Although the thousands of papers before were a headache - this was still the result of the help of students and even others, but at this moment, hearing the high evaluation of the three princes, most of the East Palace lecturers, including Yue Shanchang, could not suppress their self-esteem.
Especially when the third prince sincerely asked Xiao Shanchang and others, who were unable to participate in the marking of the papers, to say that they have a specialization in the art industry, and if they come up with a relevant topic next time, they will have to bother them to make a move, and several people are humble on the one hand, and they are full of promises.
As for helping to cheat? Is that a head in the water? Their desire is not only to brush their faces in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, but to establish a good image in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and establish enough trust - in this regard, Zhang Shou is the best example! In particular, they only have the right to mark the papers, but not the right to issue questions, who wants to leave the handle behind?
Besides, how could the people who really made them refuse and had to sell favors in these years would waste time in the country?
And their expressions, many scholars in the Guozijian saw it, and naturally felt extremely embarrassed. But even Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye would not rashly carry the famous lecture in the East Palace.
Therefore, when the third prince, the crown prince, emphasized again that the Guozijian is not a place to mix up fame, and then went in the direction of the Xian Pavilion, they were caught off guard and suddenly became even more sluggish.
When the third prince and the fourth prince used to study in the Banshan Hall of the Guozijian, the scholars were once very worried that they would be the eyes of the emperor and quietly watch everything in the Guozijian, but over time, they had little time to stay in the Guozijian outside of class, and gradually settled down. Even if the third prince was admitted to the Jiuzhang Hall after leaving the Banshan Hall, there would be no moths.
Because they have already seen that the third prince has not been very interested in the Guozijian all along. But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had never been to the Jianxian Pavilion when he was in the Guozijian Prison, suddenly decided to go to this dusty library pavilion for a long time!
At this moment, Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye invariably thought that when Zhang Shou first came to the capital last year, didn't he take the bunch of noble disciples in the Banshan Hall to visit the country at night and sweep the Jiuzhang Hall at night?
That time, because the plaque of Jiuzhangtang was locked in the warehouse, Jiuzhangtang was dusty and in disrepair, so Zhouxijiu was almost falsely accused. And this time, I don't even need to be falsely accused by others, I know what the scene is when I see the Xian Pavilion from the Zhou sacrifice wine downward!
Outside the university archway of Guozijian, the small stalls and vendors who do breakfast business here are facing today's scene of a very large flow of people but extremely poor business, and a large number of people want to cry without tears. On weekdays, everything can be sold out in less than an hour, but today not even a third of it has been sold, and there are even people who are pushing and shoving, and some prisoners have taken things away without getting the money.
Moreover, a small vendor who was full of anger and scolded people just now, at this moment, under the annoyed eyes of several peers, he was also unconsciously afraid. Don't look at the just one he scolded just now, maybe he is a wealthy family and an official who can go around, turn around and say to the yamen, can they still do this small business every day?
But he couldn't pull it off, and under the angry glares of others, he could only snort coldly: "These guys always have to be reasonable!" Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here? The person is instructing inside, and when I turn around, I stop him and kowtow to the old man to plead......"
"Chu Dajiao, don't put gold on your face, you dare to stop the prince of the East Palace? You rush out and kneel there, and if you can get the words right, I'll pronounce the name upside down! ”
The man's teasing was immediately interrupted by another laughter: "Wang Da, don't take advantage of Chu Dajiao, just your name, you will become a king upside down...... Oh, if you really have the courage to change your name, I will convince you! ”
Although they still have the strength to ridicule each other, the haste of everyone is not like a fake. But someone quietly peeked at the black men standing under the wall, only to find that these people were still as motionless as piles.
These small vendors are all natives of the capital, and they are very familiar with the guards of the city gates inside and outside the capital, and they have also looked at the sharp cavalry soldiers at the palace gate from afar, but they have never seen such a person who is obviously alive, but can have such a standing posture. If they read more books, they might wonder if they were puppets at all.
However, they didn't have that much knowledge, and after laughing and joking at this time, they found that the other party didn't react at all, and they didn't see anyone who came over to ask a few words, so they gradually sighed. Seeing that the sun was gradually rising, and the time limit for cart business here was approaching, the group of people became agitated.
At this moment, a person suddenly ran out of the room and shouted at those black men: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered that the list of Banshan Hall be posted together!" ”
As soon as these words came out, a group of small vendors saw that the black men who had just thought they were clay carvings and wood sculptures finally moved all of a sudden. However, these people did not work unusually well-trained as they imagined, but looked at each other, and finally someone asked: "We posted the list last night, and we don't see anyone in the middle of the mountain?" ”
Almost as soon as the words fell, a slow voice sounded: "The list of Banshan Hall is here, I originally wanted to post it to the public school, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered it, then post it!" ”
Hua Qi, who appeared, saw that the imperial attendants who had just begun to move their bodies instantly stood up straight, and even a little stiff in the straightness, and the smile on his face deepened, so he held the yellow list in one hand and the paste in the other, and greeted again.
Seeing that a few people finally hurriedly rushed forward as if they had just woken up from a dream, he handed over the list and paste in his hand, and when a few people hurriedly ran back, found the last vacant seat that happened to be good, and began to work there, he said with a smile: "From last night to now, you have been busy all night, and it is hard to get up early and stay here again." ”
Although the royal attendants would never shout to serve the people, they were still very familiar with a few words of sincerity and humility. However, before they could be polite, they were cold and hungry, and Hua Qi opened his mouth again with a smile.
"Although I drank a bowl of mutton soup in the middle of the night to ward off the cold, you shouldn't have had time to eat breakfast yet, right? Today, the scene of a large number of prisoners watching the list one after another happened to cause the people who were doing early business here to lose their business, and there should always be a compensation. You've finished posting this list, so go and buy all the ones that didn't sell out early. ”
"It's also like I'm rewarding you for your hard night's work, and by the way, compensating them for not making many deals in the morning."
When the vendors heard this conversation, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, before a few people could sly think about the lion's big mouth in their hearts, they were frightened by Hua Qi's next words.
"After eating, if you think which one is shoddy, short of two, and the things are not authentic, remember to tell me. I turned around and talked to Lin Laohu, the head catcher of the Shuntian Mansion Punishment Room, and said! ”
Realizing that he was facing an official with a good heart, but he was not easy to fool, a group of small vendors naturally did not dare to ask for a sky-high price, and honestly sold all the remaining inventory. Even if twenty or thirty imperial servants usually practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, they do have a great appetite, but when they inquired around, they learned that there were dozens of bowls of noodles, hundreds of steamed buns, hundreds of baked cakes, and hundreds of dumplings...... They were still dumbfounded. Even if they are big stomachs, they can't eat these!
