Chapter 407: Does This Work (Monthly Pass)
Mi Yi is still a little confident. In fact, in this era, many children from aristocratic families were enlightened very early, and it is not uncommon to study at the age of three or four. Some people even say that studying at this age is the best time. Some supernatural powers can be written at the age of three or four, but Mi Yi only said that it was a year or two, which obviously left room for nothing.”
Chen Zhijing nodded and said, "I'm sorry, sir."
Mi Yi smiled respectfully at Chen Zhi and continued to say goodbye.
He wanted to explain a few words to Chen Kaizhi, but when he turned around, he found that Chen Kaizhi had already rolled up his pen and ink... and left.
Leaving?
This kid...
Mi Yi was unhappy and couldn't help but say to Chen Zhi: "This Chen Kaizhi relies on his talent and knowledge, and he really doesn't know how high the world is. But speaking of it, when it comes to enlightenment, what is he? I have been teaching for more than ten years and have a lot of students all over the world. On the contrary, this Chen Kaizhi... has just made his own decision..."
He only clicked until he stopped, but looked at Chen Zhijing with deep eyes.
Chen Zhi nodded with a clear head, and he knew it clearly. In fact, from the moment he could see that Mr. Mi didn't like Chen Kaizhi very much, and even acted very disgusted with Chen Kaizhi.
Mi Yi was recommended by Yan Shenggong, so he was naturally not an ordinary person. Even Chen Zhijing also valued it very much. He didn't think it was wrong to say whatever he said, naturally.
Mi Yi then said to King Zhao again: "I will continue to attend classes tomorrow, so your highness will not have to come again. Your Highness will be in charge of all kinds of things every day, and there are still many things to deal with. Please rest assured by Your Majesty."
Chen Zhijing smiled casually and nodded, responding.
And Chen Kaizhi had already left the palace while they were talking.
He had known that Mi Yi's grandson wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge, so he was prepared when he came.
But... when will such a day end? As long as the little emperor still needs to study, he will not be able to escape his attendant.
I have to follow Mi Yi every day, and such a life is really hard to bear. Who can still disagree with his enemies every day?
His nerves were always tense, just because he was afraid that he would accidentally fall into Mi Yi's trap.
Whenever Chen Kaizhi thinks of someone around him who always plots on him, he feels particularly uncomfortable, but what can I do?
Unless... this Mi Yi...
Thinking of this, Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
After leaving the palace, he naturally returned to his Feiyu Peak.
After going up the mountain, Chen Kaizhi did not rush to go to the Confucius Temple, but went straight back to his study, and then ordered someone: "Let everyone have dinner first, Su Chang is responsible for leading everyone to study, and then let Su Chang come here to see me."
After giving the order, Chen Kaizhi had no appetite for the time being, but read the book casually. After half an hour, footsteps came from outside. The door was gently pushed open by a maid. Su Chang, a Confucian student from Qi Diao family, walked in and bowed respectfully to Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi nodded at him casually and said, "Please sit down."
"Yes." Su Chang bowed and sat down.
Since the beginning, these scholars have been incompatible with Qiu Ba and now they are no longer differentiated. This is actually related to practice and learning. The Confucian scholars are weak and cannot bear it after practicing with high intensity, so they are taken care of by Qiu Ba and barely able to continue.
Qiu Ba and others are not in a hurry to take the exam every now and then. When it comes to the moment of cramming, it is absolutely impossible for the Confucian scholars to help make up for their homework while practicing.
So in this day and night together, slowly, the two sides cared for each other and learned from each other, and they even blended together.
Su Chang was different from Qiu Ba and the others. He and Qiu Ba and the eight others understood Chen Xiaowei better. It was really admirable to be able to educate the Warriors Camp to this point. In Su Chang's heart, Chen Kaizhi was both his mentor and half of his idol, so he was kneeling at this moment, completely listening to the ears and waiting for Chen Kaizhi's instructions.
Chen Kaizhi smiled at Su Chang and said, "How is it? Are you used to living in the mountains?"
“I’m used to living.”
Su Chang nodded repeatedly.
Chen Kaizhi glanced at Su Chang and praised with satisfaction: "I also heard from Mr. Wu that although you Confucian scholars are scholars, you are a loser in your practice. It is very amazing."
Su Chang thought about it carefully before slowly saying: "Actually, at the beginning, I couldn't bear this hardship, but I finally survived it. Until the adults asked us what our ambition was, and wrote the sentence with his own hand: "Set up our minds for the heaven and earth, establish our destiny for the people, inherit our unique knowledge for the past sages, and open peace for all ages." Students and others realized that this hardship is worth it, and they set a lofty ambition. It is supposed to be done to endure this unhuman suffering."
Chen Kaizhi shook his head and felt relieved. The Confucian scholars are much more sensible than the eight monks.
It is precisely because of the rationality of the Confucian scholars and monks, that at the beginning, the nonsense of the Qiu Bas was always stopped by the Confucian scholars who were placed in it in time. Speaking of which, it has not been easy for everyone in the past few months.
Chen Kaizhi immediately said seriously: "I heard that the county examination is about to begin?"
"Ah..." Su Chang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Chen Kaizhi to suddenly care about the county exam. He came to his senses and quickly smiled: "Yes, the county exam is usually at the end of the year. During the slack season, all counties have started to sign up. Why, does the lieutenant have any children who need to take the child exam?"
The so-called county examination is what is commonly called a child examination. This is the entry-level examination in the imperial examination. Although you have entered the child examination and you are not fame, you can be called a serious scholar. Therefore, for most people, the child examination is the first barrier for scholars. If you pass the exam, you have since become a scholar.
However, people like Su Chang definitely look down on the Tongshi test, but for many people, this Tongshi test is equivalent to a gate of hell.
It seems that for scholars, the content of the children's exam is very simple, and they only test the basic Four Books and Five Classics. You only need to write them down and then give a question to analyze its meaning. As long as you pass the exam, you will pass it.
But this requires the ability to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and it is not easy, especially for beginners, it is simply a nightmare.
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "Yes, many of my children have to take the exam, so tomorrow you go down the mountain and go to Luoyang County to sign up for them."
Su Chang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Register, who will you register?"
Chen Kaizhi stared at Su Chang with a confused look on his face, and smiled again, saying, "Of course it's these guys from the Warriors camp, who do you think there is?"
Su Chang was shocked, his mind was a little twitching. His eyes were full of shock and disbelief when he looked at Chen Kaizhi.
Qiu Ba from more than 300 Warriors Camp went to take the children's exam...
Does this work?
He thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't notice something was wrong, because... Although the Qiu Ba people in the Warriors Camp were not famous, they were from "good family" and not "good family". How could they join the imperial guards?
You should know that the court stipulates that as long as it is a "good son", those who have no criminals in the previous three generations can all be tested, while those who have been in the previous three generations of Qiu Ba are in the previous three generations of the court are loyal and kind.
As for age, it's even more OK. Although many people start taking the children's exam at the age of ten, many of them are still taking the children's exam.
The only threshold for this child exam is silver. In order to prevent anyone from taking the exam without any trouble, the court stipulated that every examiner would have to pay one or two silver, which was enough to discourage those with insufficient self-confidence.
But... Su Chang still doesn't understand. What should I do if I ask these Warrior Camp robes to take the children's exam? Their level may not be able to pass the scholar in the future. Isn't this fullness so full?
Looking at Su Chang's confused eyes, Chen Kaizhi said calmly: "Let them try it out. Just treat it as a unified examination to see how they have achieved in the past few months. This is one. As for the second, it is the reputation of the Warriors Camp, which is a bit not very nice. Don't you think this is a good opportunity to change the impression of secular people on them?"
Su Chang was stunned again, and then he showed a sudden enlightenment and looked at Chen Kaizhi with bright eyes: "What the lieutenant is thinking is, but... if you suddenly sign up for more than 300 people, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people in Luoyang County... cough cough..."
Chen Kaizhi was stunned for a moment, a little confused about Su Chang's concerns, and then said, "What, what's the problem?"
Su Chang sighed and said, "What this child test is related to is the education of local officials and political achievements."
In fact, if you really count it, Chen Kaizhi is only a scholar who became a monk halfway through the journey. Unlike scholars like Su Chang who have been trained since childhood, he has been studying in the county for more than ten years, so he is more familiar with the twists and turns of the local area.
Su Chang continued: "Although the court encourages everyone to take the exam for the children, for ordinary county governments, there are many people who take the exam, and there may be few people who pass the exam, and they will inevitably be criticized by Shangguan. Because of this,... if you sign up for the people from the Warriors Camp, you are afraid that Luoyang County will... be a little embarrassed."
Chen Kaizhi immediately understood, and his mind was turning rapidly. What was involved in this... Well, it should be a matter of enrollment rate. For example, if there are 1,000 people taking the exam, if there are 300 people, it is naturally a matter of celebration for the whole world, which means that the county master has strong education; but if there are 1,000 people taking the exam, and only 100 people winning, this... would be a bit embarrassing.
Judging from the previous reputation of the Warriors Camp, if you apply for the exam, you will probably be regarded as a joke. For the local county government, isn’t this the same thing that you deliberately cheat me? Three hundred people have applied for the exam, but even three hundred people have failed the exam. This will harm the county master’s political achievements. At that time, who will the county master ask for reason?
