Chapter 102: High School Kaiyuan

However, Gu Xingzu’s great name was right in front of him.

And the only explanation …… could be that the college entrance exams …… ah no, the imperial examinations during the early Ming Dynasty were really just in their infancy.

There’s really no more experience with rolls.

Even many people …… are only at the stage of figuring out the style of the eight-legged essay.

In particular, the various dharmas have not yet been experienced.

People don’t have secret martial arts manuals, so they can only fight for their internal strength.

Zhang Anshi only heard that the back …… was still noisy.

At first everyone cursed, “How come they’re all from Jiangxi again.”

“The three first-place finishers are all from Jiangxi? Look, my goodness, the first, second, third, and fourth place finishers in the second armor are also all from Jiangxi.”

“I see this list, there are not a few northern people, occasionally a few, but also hanging in the rear end, which still give us the north of the readers to live?”

After a series of curses, someone suddenly said, “Who is Gu Xingzu, the first-ranked Huiyuan?”

Many people didn’t say a word when this statement was made.

This man is just unheard of.

It’s amazing that the vast majority of people don’t know this person’s background.

There also doesn’t seem to have been any literary names before that.

Gu Xingzu himself, on the other hand, only felt that he was a little unsteady on his feet, and he stared blankly at his name, his legs already a little weak.

It’s a dream come true.

Ranked first …… will dollars!

Zhang Anshi in the side of the open bad laughed: “Ha ha, shall not be, my home Gu Xingzu won the first, the northern Zhili nationality Gu Xingzu won the first, the first ah!”

On the side of Zeng Kai, Zhou Shu, Zhou Mengjian several, although also ranked in the top, but at this time, but there is an indescribable taste.

They looked over towards the agitated Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi, however, had already met them and bowed to them, “Have you won? Did you win? That’s the one I taught out, the test wasn’t very good, only got the first place.”

Zeng Kai pulled out a little smile in embarrassment.

Zhou Shu and Zhou Mengjian, however, only shook their heads.

“Didn’t hit it?” Zhang Anshi said.

Zeng Kai had to say bitterly, “Bingo.”

“Not bad.” Zhang Anshi said, “Very impressive, from now on, you will be in the same year as my family Gu Xingzu, you are older than him, you have to take care of him more, remember my name, my name is Zhang Anshi, the Zhang of Seung Eun Bo Zhang Anshi, the Seung Eun Bo Zhang Anshi’s Se, Seung Eun Bo Zhang ……”

Upon hearing this, Tsang Kai’s color changed.

The readers around them, all changed color.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Zhang Anshi.

Subconsciously, Mr. Tsang Kai said, “Could it be Zhang Anshi, Doctor of Justice of the Imperial College and brother-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”

Zhang Anshi did not think that his own doctoral literature name is actually louder than his own title, even more joyful, laughed: “It is exactly me, it is exactly me …… ”

Mr. Tsang Kai’s face was so odd that he couldn’t say anything else for a while.

But the readers around here who were watching the list were suddenly abuzz.

At first heard that the first place in the meeting of the yuan is actually the northern Zhili nationality, all of a sudden let those who scolded the southern people occupy the list of northern scholars speechless.

Yeah, didn’t someone from Northern China get first place in the exam?

At this point in time, it would be unreasonable to talk about the differences between the North and the South.

At least it gagged a lot of people.

This Gu Xingzu, is also considered to give the people of the northern nationality to raise eyebrows.

But after a brief moment of calm, there was another burst of anger.

“Unfair, unfair …… This Gu Xingzu is the grandson of the Zhenyuan Marquis. The …… one who taught him to read is Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi is the wife and brother of the crown prince, and His Royal Highness the crown prince presides over the imperial examinations, could it be that the questions have been leaked?”

This statement is like a thunderbolt.

It set everyone on fire at once.

An indescribable anger quickly swirled within the hearts of the candidates.

In the far corner, a man stood alone, looking out of place.

This person is none other than Yang Shiqi.

Although Yang Shiqi does not agree with Zhang Anshi, but still heart Gu Xingzu, this time also to the Hanlin Academy leave, specially rushed to see the list.

When he saw that the top of the list was actually Gu Xingzu, his heart could be described as astonished.

You should know that Yang Shiqi was a person who did not even win the jinshi, and he had been ashamed of himself because he was not a jinshi.

But now …… Gu Xingzu is actually the golden list, and even the top of the list.

Yang Shiqi’s heart was rolling in big waves, so horrified that he couldn’t speak.

The eight shares …… are made this way?

It does not matter about talent, not to mention family background, but it is just deconstructing the eight stocks, studying deeply the method of the eight stocks, and doing and solving problems every day?

He laughed bitterly, and then he was also happy for Gu Xingzu.

The son of a marquis, of course, could care less about the golden list, but if a person who could inherit a marquis also won the jinshi, and even topped the list, then his future prospects would certainly be unlimited.

Yancey was about to turn around, ready to leave.

But suddenly, the crowd erupted into an unprecedented rage.

At this moment, Yang Shiqi stopped, and he was a little worried in his heart, although Zhang Anshi and Gu Xingzu fought for the top of the list, but …… they also triggered the anger of the people.

How should this end?

But everyone here, how do you know, the more the public anger, Zhang Anshi more happy, this is doubly happy ah!

He even sensed that the few Jishui County talents behind Tsang Kai were even more furious.

After all, if it wasn’t for Gu Xingzu, all of them could have moved a step forward in their rankings, and each advancement in their rankings would have been a huge gain for their own futures.

Even Tsang Kai showed his displeasure.

He stepped forward and said sternly, “Uncle Cheng En, now everyone is saying that the East Palace has leaked the questions, the so-called three people make a tiger, and people’s words can be feared, so please Uncle Cheng En clarify one or two things.”

Readers are awesome, especially good readers like Mr. Sang Kai.

He questioned Zhang Anshi and opened his mouth when others said that it had nothing to do with him anyway, but the target was Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi clasped his hands, but laughed out loud, “Are you accusing my brother-in-law of plotting a rebellion?”

This rhetorical question was so arrogant that Zeng Kai and the others paled, their bodies taking a slight step back.

Chuson even grimaces as he fetches the gunpowder packet out.

Unfortunately …… his gunpowder pack deterrent is not as big as Zhang Anshi s mouth.

It’s not like the readers know what this stuff is, and no one takes it seriously when they fiddle with it in front of the ignorant.

Zhang Anshi said tersely, “However, since you guys have some doubts, it couldn’t be better.”

After a moment’s pause, Zhang Anshi then added: “Fetch me pen, ink, paper and inkstones, I know that you are not convinced, I will let my incompetent student do the questions on the spot.”

“……” Tsang Kai and the others had yet to respond.

The others then clamored, “Let’s see how much this will be worth.”

Upon hearing that he was going to do the questions again, Gu Xingzu’s eyes lit up.

These days, he was dragged around by Zhang Anshi or Zhu Yong several days to fry fish, loiter, and do nothing.

But he was actually very bitter and unhappy inside, always feeling that there was something missing in his life.

This boring fun doesn’t seem to excite him.

Only that kind of question to the extreme, that kind of climbed one peak after another, their potential to the extreme, and finally stood on the peak, even if that kind of feeling, just for a moment, but also make Gu Xingzu have a kind of indescribable feeling of coolness.

At this time, I only saw Zhang Anshi say, “Whoever goes today is a grandson, don’t even go, so that you can open your eyes.”

There are a lot of readers stopped, had to pinch their noses and stand, readers want to save face, do not want to be a grandson.

Mr. Tsang Kai and the others, who were even more shocked, exchanged glances with each other, and at this point, they were even more nailed down and refused to leave.

So someone carried a long table, and someone else went to fetch ink, paper and inkstones.

Zhang Anshi calmly exclaimed, “Who is going to come up with the question, you find someone to come up with the question.”

“I’ll do it!” Zeng Kai stepped forward.

He is a talented man of Jishui with a high reputation, and with him out there, no one can jump out of the sting.

Zhang Anshi looked at him frankly and fearlessly and said, “You out.”

After pacing a couple of steps, Zeng Kai said, “Must also make no praise.”

Not a cutoff question.

But …… many reading people listen to it, and they all inhale a breath in their hearts.

Only Mr. Tsang Kai could have come up with this question, which was quite difficult, at least considerably more difficult than the questions in the current examination.

Gu Xingzu, on the other hand, frowned, revealing a bossy look of displeasure.

Tsang Kai looked at his reaction and smiled, “Why, why doesn’t Gu Huiyuan lift his pen?”

Gu Xingzu said unhappily, “The questions are too easy.”

He did calculus and couldn’t really get interested in adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.

But when the people heard it, they were all stunned, and some sneered, “I’m afraid it can’t be done.”

Tsang Kai’s face stiffened even more, saying that the questions were too easy was questioning his level of incompetence!

It was Zhu Yong who was anxious and gave Gu Xingzu a chestnut on the brain, cursing, “If I tell you to do the questions, then do the questions, why are you such a nuisance.”

Gu Xingzu gave an oh-so-subtle cry, dutifully lifting his pen and dipping it into the ink.

After a moment’s thought, I began to write from the ground up.

Seeing him like this, everyone looked stunned again.

Writing so soon?

When people do questions, they often need to deliberate over and over again, and if an exam is two hours long, then at least one hour is spent belabored.

With a grave expression on his face, Mr. Tsang stepped forward and, while looking at the broken title written by Gu Xingzu, read, “Those whose lawsuits are yet to be heard and who are convinced of their own rights, those who govern actually make it so.”

Everyone was quiet at this statement.

This break is not only quick, but it echoes the title.

Of course, the most important thing is that this sentence is completely in line with the four books and five sutras.

This is the most important, there are countless talented people in history, but often more in the imperial examinations, the fundamental reason is that the so-called eight shares, the essence of the saints on behalf of the speech.

That is, it doesn’t matter what’s in your heart, what matters is that you’re just a parrot constantly stating the views of the saints.

Many people exclaimed, many people secretly bowed their heads, thinking in their hearts, if they were themselves, would the question-breaking be as good as this person?

What’s more, this Gu Xingzu improvised his composition, and his talent was truly horrendous.

At this point, I saw Gu Xingzu put down his pen again, and Mr. Tsang Kai read, “He said that there is no litigation, from the lower part of the word, and said that there is no litigation, from the upper part of the word, and this is also what my husband had in mind.”

Once the commitment question came out, there was no more skepticism, only countless tsk-tsk-tsk voices.

This is fucking genius, this commitment to the question, old ways to the extreme, this means: the so-called no lawsuit, is spoken from the perspective of the people, said let the lawsuit does not exist, is viewed from the perspective of those in power, which is also the realm expected by the Confucius sage.

For the hardest part of this question is that the sages were hoping to rule by virtue.

Litigation is the reality, and virtue is the expectation of the saints.

There are conflicts and contradictions between the two.

If one simply ignores reality and only advocates the words of the saints, one will inevitably appear to be pedantic.

But if we respect reality, it makes it difficult to justify the moral rule advocated by Sage Confucius.

Thus, this topic of commitment is directly analyzed from the perspectives of the people, those in power, and Sage Kong, taking up the topic of breaking, cleverly and neatly matched.

Tsang Kai’s face had actually changed as he read.

He continued to chant.

The more he recited, the stranger his face became.

He is confident that he is perfectly capable of making an article like this, and perhaps even better than this one.

But …… by no means has Gu Xingzu s skill of writing down.

Halfway through his reading, Mr. Tsang, his face unnaturally reddened, suddenly stopped reading, and bowed to Gu Xingzu with a shameful expression, “I’m so ashamed of Mr. Gu’s great talent that I’m ashamed to say this.”

The rest of them were just dumbfounded.

Gu Xingzu stole the first place from Mr. Tsang Kai. Now that even Mr. Tsang Kai is convinced, who dares to say anything?

So …… everyone is tasteless.

Wanted to curse something and realized there didn’t seem to be anything to curse.

Examiner fraud?

It doesn’t exist. It’s not a field test?

The man is on a real level.

Southern readers took up a large number of places, especially the second to seventh places were taken up by Jiangxi readers, but the first place was taken up by people of Northern Zhili nationality, so what else could be said?

Let’s just say it’s not as skilled as it should be.

Zhang Anshi crossed his arms and said with a laugh, “Zeng students also test very well, can win the second, also teach people to admire. I am not hiding, my student, there is nothing capable …… of reading in the Hall of Justice from before, a few months ago, even the article can not do it all.”

Tsang Kai and the others were shocked.

A few months of work and …… is off the hook?

It’s horrible!

The readers were also silent, only feeling that what happened today was completely beyond their imagination.

Zhang Anshi said, “It’s all thanks to my teaching, a teacher is one who teaches and explains, and I’m ashamed that I spend too little time on Gu Xingzu on weekdays.”

“……”

People don’t have the patience to listen anymore; this kind of braggadocio brings nothing but trouble to the heart.

But Zhang Anshi said with relish, “But fortunately, he is still considered to be hardworking, at last, he has not wasted my painstaking efforts, in the end, he still learned three or four points of my skills.”

“ooh ……”

People can’t tell anymore how much bragging is involved.

Just see Zhang Anshi continued: “But well, I these days, will be my eight shares of the experience, repair a book, this book is called ‘Zhang Anshi eight shares of the pen talk’, now has been on the bookstore everywhere, which are some of my eight shares of the experience, consumed a lot of my efforts, are some shallow insights, I’m afraid to let everyone laugh. I’m afraid I’m going to make you all laugh. Well, well, all let a give way, let a give ……”

After saying this, under all the complicated gazes, Zhang Anshi and the others …… yanked away.

…………

Gu Family.

At this very moment.

A couple of governors made a visit to the door with a jar of old wine.

When Gu Cheng heard about it, he hastened to greet him personally.

At first, we are familiar with, Gu Cheng from the past or founding minister, just after surrendered Zhu Di, and became a minister of the war, and therefore and Wei Guo Gong Xu Huizu, is also considered an old acquaintance.

After everyone is seated.

“Don’t say anything, drink.” Zhu Neng said with a smile.

A few drinks down.

Then there were more words.

Zhu Neng patted Gu Cheng’s shoulder and said, “We all know that your grandson participated in the imperial examination, I want to say, the grandson of the Tang Tang Zhen Yuan Hou, will come from a title to inherit, the imperial examination is a what. Old Gu ah, you are older than me, we do not rare this what bullshit scholar, you do not take it to heart.”

Gu Cheng was a bit confused: “What …… what does it mean ……”

Qufu sighed and said with a regretful face, “Nothing, nothing, that’s just the way he is, he likes to talk nonsense, and when he drinks, he’s a jerk.”

Gu Cheng, on the contrary, was alarmed and could not help but say, “Why do you all seem to have something to say, if you have something to say, don’t say it, I’m creeped out in my heart.”

Qiu Fu then said, “It is nothing, just heard, your grandson for the meeting test, all cried, hey …… really a poor child, those what the doctor …… have to ask him to meet the test, this is not a joke? We what people, is the general family! General family children, and the readers to make a fuss about what!”

“Lao Gu, you don’t take it to heart, in fact, the test is such a thing, who cares to go to the test, our children and grandchildren are not reading material, into the fucking …… I can say in advance, this must be Zhang Anshi’s bad idea, you are aware of my son’s, my son is so stupid, can’t think of this kind of bullshit things. I’m not going to be able to get a good look at it,” he said.

Gu Cheng: “……”

“Right, right, right.” Zhu Neng also hastened to take advantage of the opportunity to say, “My son also can not think, you look at me to know, I am so stupid, my son can still be good to where, we have a word in the first which, this grievance has a head and a debt has a master ……”

When Duke of Wei Xu Huizu heard this, he was not comfortable in his heart, and after looking at Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu with contempt, he lowered his head and drank mulled wine.

Gu Cheng’s face looked bad, why did it feel like these people were deliberately coming to poke their hearts out?

He said, “My grandson …… works very hard.”

“Yes, yes, yes, yes, know that he tries hard and is a good boy.” Zhu Neng said.

Gu Cheng sighed, “The test can …… not be taken for sure, but there is a will.”

“Right, right, right.” Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng both slapped their thighs, “There is ambition, there is ambition, a male child should have ambition, the so-called knowing that it is not possible but doing it.”

“However, you guys say …… there is a possibility that, say no, he is lucky …… really fluke hit it?” Gu Cheng carefully said with a few expectations.

Zhu Neng’s eyes glared, “With him?”

Qiu Fu pressed his hand: “Zhu old brother, don’t say that, the old Gu is concerned about his grandchildren, this is also justifiable, who does not want their children and grandchildren to have success?”

“But the old Gu ah …… not I said, your grandchildren exams are to cry to do not be able to do the questions, this will be the test is those cold window hard study for more than ten years of the readers to do things, your grandchildren, you feel their own conscience, and then think about it, think more carefully some of the time to think about it, it is possible? ”

When Gu Cheng heard this, he didn’t squeak again.

He thought about it, no way.

So can not help but eyes a little red: “I also know …… just …… weekdays see him so hard, and now the name of the grandchildren, the heart must be very bad, ai…. …Don’t say it, don’t say it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Come on, drink, drink, get drunk.”

The crowd raised their glasses, all thinking about their minds, each without words, just burying their heads and drinking.

“Dang… ……”

Outside, there was suddenly the sound of a gong, bustling with activity.

Suddenly a door stumbled to come, mouth panicked: “Master, master …… outside someone …… surrounded our mansion.”

Gu Cheng was drunk at this time and had not yet spoken ……

Zhu Neng had cursed, “Damn it, who is the visitor?”

“It’s to report good news, report good news, young master Sun …… young master Sun …… he’s in high school!”

A few people at the table first fell violently silent.

After a short period of silence, Gu Cheng took the lead and rose: “High school? High school what?”

“I don t know, they all just say that they are here to ask for joyful money …… Master quickly go and take a look.”

With a whoosh, that member of the old general, was nowhere to be seen.

Only Zhu Neng was left with a few faces.

And then, these few people also left the table in a hurry and hurried to the front yard.

At this time, the door to this front yard, was open.

A swarm of people came in.

At the head of the group was a police officer from Yingtianfu, banging a gong.

A couple of helpers in the back, playing a runaway shawm.

As for the people who surrounded them along the way, I don’t know how many there were.

Every time the list is released, to go to report the good news are profitable, that high school family, even if they are strapped for cash, but also willing to take out money to reward.

So the crowd that had gathered around was growing.

As soon as Gu Cheng came over, there was an errand boy in front of him, holding red paper in his hand and shouting, “Congratulations, congratulations to the Marquis ……”

Gu Cheng said with a few trembling, “Congratulations …… on what …… what joy …… there is.”

What a calm and collected person he was, even in the sandy field, with countless swords and swords, he never frowned.

But now, it’s a mess.

“Congratulations to your grandson Gu Xingzu on his high school ……”

At these words, Gu Cheng’s body was somewhat unable to support himself, and his legs began to feel like they were stepping on cotton.

High …… high school now.

“Is …… it so, my grandson won the scholar …… this …… how is this possible… …” he shivered, his voice trembling.

“A thousand times over!”

“Hahahahaha ……,” Gu Cheng began to laugh.

All at once, his chest suddenly straightened.

He felt that this life was worth it, all of it, even if he was allowed to die now.

The founding of the Ming Dynasty, there is no precedent for the sons and daughters of honored ministers to get a high school diploma, and his grandson, directly broke this record.

This is the most terrible thing, which means that his grandson has become the entire Daming before no one, may also not come after the model of the Lord minister.

Does he Gu family …… still fear that there is no holy grace?

With such a family history and qualifications, no matter what the future is to be a vassal and a prime minister, it is easy.

Gu Cheng laughed maniacally.

This annunciator is not done yet, and is in a hurry.

After Zhu Neng a few heard, a jaw dropped, old half a day can not speak.

That annunciator continued: “Marquis …… Marquis, your grandson high school is the top of the list …… is this section will be yuan …… ”

“Hahaha ……”

Gu Cheng, who was still laughing maniacally, suddenly stopped laughing abruptly.

Immediately afterward, he lapsed into dead silence.

Zhu Neng, a few of them, were also shocked, and their eyes were already wider than copper bells.

Gu Cheng murmured in a low voice, “Will the yuan …… will the yuan …… that is not equal to the first credit? Just like …… the founding of the country, Li Shanchang that ……”

The announcer said, “There is no one better than your grandson in this subject, and your grandson has overwhelmed all the readers in the world.”

Pssst… ……

Gu Cheng planted himself on the ground at once.

“……”

The marquis house was in chaos.

Countless people shrieked.

Luckily, Zhu Neng was professional and stepped forward and grabbed Gu Cheng up, directly using physical therapy, left and right, snapping two slaps.

Gu Cheng finally woke up and then coughed desperately.

And then: “Hahahahahahaha …… you all heard it, my grandson is a Huiyuan, my grandson is a Huiyuan, I knew he was smart when I was a kid, when his father was still alive, he was also very smart, God bless the Gu family, this is my son in heaven ah … …”

After saying that, Gu Cheng bawled again.

After crying, Gu Cheng rolled over and got up, at this time, actually not the slightest solemnity of the Marquis, grabbed the person will say: “My grandson is the first yuan la. I’m sure he’s right. Right, thanks to Zhang Anshi, thanks to Dr. Zhang, Dr. Zhang taught well, taught well ah, hahahaha ah …….”

Zhu Neng, who was on the side, couldn’t help but mumble, “My son also has credit ……”

The words, though, were ultimately sour.

Churchford: “……”

Wei Guo Gong Xu Huizu, face swept a trace of unintentional joy, he actually felt his waist, but also a lot of straight. At this time, you can look down on Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, and cast contemptuous eyes in a dignified manner.

“Reward, all have heavy rewards, all who come have rewards, haha, come on, come on, give everyone a reward, set up a flowing banquet, set up a three street flowing banquet, let the left and right relatives and neighbors, all fucking eat for three days.”

After the big cry, Gu Cheng forked his hand, waved his hand, bold and dry clouds: “What is the use of money, the children and grandchildren have good results …… This family business can not be defeated, each person three taels of silver, heavy reward.”

The person who reported the good news heard, happy, here is really the right place to go to other people’s homes to report the good news just reward money, here is directly to the silver.

At this time, Gu Cheng turned back, looked at Qiu Fu and the others, and laughed, “Haha, today, I still have something to do, I’m afraid I can’t greet all the brothers, so make yourselves at home, make yourselves at home.”

Churchford: “……”

So Qiu Fu several people resentfully out of the marquis, woefully like a lost dog.

“Ah shucks.” Zhu Neng cursed, “If I had known, I would have had to tell him that my son also got credit. How could I have been so stupid, I was out of my mind!”

…………

In the martial arts building.

At this time, Zhu Di is sitting high up here.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaoqi owed it to himself to sit at Zhu Di’s lower head.

Wanted to come to join in the fun King Han Zhu Gaoxu but could only stand, he was a little aggrieved, his father has become more and more contemptuous of him.

Xie Jin four people have come early in the morning to resume the decree.

They can only be responsible for marking the papers, circling the winners and ranking them.

Thereafter there is nothing more for them to do, for in the interest of justice it must be ensured that the examiners do not know the names of those who have won the lists until the lists are revealed.

All the circled rolls will be organized by a special person, and the list will be formulated and posted.

Xie Jin a few people, only know the high school student’s article is which one, but now do not know who is the winner.

Of course, they’re looking forward to it now.

Before the lifters entered the capital, they knew that there were quite a number of outstanding descendants from the same hometown who were participating in this imperial examination.

For example, Mr. Tsang Kai, as well as Mr. Zhou Shu and Mr. Zhou Mengqi, but I do not know if these few of them will be able to win the gold medal.

“Has the list not been sent yet?” Zhu Di was obviously quite concerned about this imperial examination as well.

“Your Majesty, as soon as the list comes out, before it is posted, there will be a special person to send the list into the palace at fire speed, only the Forbidden City is a ways away from the Tribute Academy, I’m afraid it will take some time.” Xie Jin stepped forward and said.
