Chapter 171: Compete
"That's right." After hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Li Dongyang replied.
When Li Dongyang heard Wang Shouren, he immediately cheered up. He always valued Wang Shouren very much. During his spare time in official business, he would ask Wang Hua's son to come to the Li family's pavilion to have tea and talk some gossip.
This strange young man is not only a little lacking in dealing with people, but is actually a charming talent.
Li Dongyang even had a pity that if Wang Shouren had not married the Zhejiang family, he would have an unmarried granddaughter...
Now that he heard the three names of Wang Shouren, he smiled and said, "Yes, this is the son of the young secretary Wang Hua. Wang Hua is the first Jinshi in the Xinchou year of Chenghua. He first won the Huiyuan and then the top scorer, which was a good story for this time."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "So that's it."
After saying that, he looked down at this article of strategy.
As soon as he saw it, he was immediately attracted.
Whether you are a talented person can actually understand whether you just read the idea of his article.
Wang Shouren's opening chapter was neither full of talk nor cited classics, but he only wrote about one issue...Money and grain...
Since Milu's rebellion has lasted for so long, it seems that it is impossible to immediately wipe out it out.
This is very practical.
Since we are determined to advance for a protracted and prolonged campaign, it is an urgent problem to ensure the stable supply of money and grain from the Guizhou army.
The court rushed to quell the rebellion and did not think about the long-term problems at all, so many disadvantages were exposed. Since the rebellion was not a one-day contribution, it was necessary to change the strategy and change the urgent suppression to slow suppression. It was necessary to ensure the stability of the food and food routes in Guizhou. As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first, and the court must also supply the needs of the army on time.
Among them, he mentioned an extremely sharp problem, that is, once the army is short of food, in order to ensure military supplies, state officials will inevitably be required to collect grain. Once local officials collect grain from local governments, it will inevitably arouse public grievances. In this way, not only will the rebels be difficult to eliminate, but the rebellion will intensify.
The policy theory pointed out without hesitation that Yunnan and Guizhou have always lived in a mixed territory of Han, and the purpose of the imperial court to suppress rebellion was not to suppress rebellion itself, but to win people's hearts with the rebels.
What Wang Shouren is most interesting is that he actually started to calculate the money and grain. Not only did he calculate the future money and grain required by the army, but at the end, he also made a suggestion that if the grain was transferred from the capital, it would last for a long time and cost a lot of money. The far water could not save the nearby fire, so he needed to be transferred from the Sichuan Provincial Administration and the General Office...
call……
After reading this policy, Emperor Hongzhi felt a sense of laughter and crying.
Wang Shouren's understanding of Ma Zheng was much higher than that of other tribute students. Emperor Hongzhi only realized after ascending the throne that the so-called war was actually about fighting silver, and food and grass were the foundation of everything. The strategy that scholars talked about the most was just his imagination.
This article is not inferior to the question of the Minister of War.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Wang Hua gave birth to a good child."
After hearing this, Li Dongyang was immediately overjoyed. He really liked Wang Shouren, and the Li and Wang families were already close. Li Dongyang couldn't help but say, "Can the Wang family actually produce the top scorer of father and son?"
The father and son have two top scholars, this is a legend that has been passed down through the ages. Although there was a seven-jinshi in the entire Ming Dynasty, the father and son have two top scholars, which is much more rare than the seven-jinshi in one school.
Emperor Hongzhi knew that this was Li Dongyang's hint, meaning, why not make a man of beauty?
Of course, the premise of this beauty of adulthood is that Wang Shouren's strategy is excellent, but judging from the results of the current paper marking, Wang Shouren does have great opportunities.
But Emperor Hongzhi seemed unquestionable: "But it may not be."
He only said these four words lightly and continued to mark the papers.
He still kept hope in his heart. Although he admired Wang Shouren, he was very satisfied with the answers of the son of Wang Qing's family, and he could be called a simplified emperor's heart.
But... he was still looking forward to seeing other test papers. The most important thing was that he wanted to know, can that guy Fang Jifan continue the myth of the provincial examination and the imperial examination?
His proud disciples didn't know how to answer.
Finally, Emperor Hongzhi turned over Tang Yin's paper.
He smiled subconsciously.
Read the volume.
This article has both excellent writing style and intention, but... well... why does it look familiar?
Build a mountain camp to force the force...
Isn’t this the idea that Fang Jifan came up with last time?
However... this is understandable. Tang Yin was a disciple of Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan must have mentioned the military in Guizhou. Since this is the case, it would not be surprising that Tang Yin and others implemented their mentor's thoughts.
only……
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, a little disappointed.
When Fang Jifan proposed to build a mountain camp, he was a little hesitant and felt that Fang Jifan's words were not unreasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not very reliable.
But in the end, he issued an order, of course, bypassed the cabinet and issued a central order.
The reason for bypassing the cabinet is actually very simple, because Emperor Hongzhi felt that Fang Jifan was unreliable, and if he was in the name of the court, it would be a bit of a joke.
He has the mentality of trying it out.
But now, it seems that the mountain camp has no effect. Although last month, Wang Shi submitted a report saying that the mountain camp has been established and has been effective, Emperor Hongzhi also knew that this was just a scene.
Therefore... this mountain camp uses the battle between the mountains and forests that the natives are good at to deal with the natives. Obviously... the effect is not significant. Instead, it is said that because of the establishment of the mountain camp, a lot of money and food are spent.
Emperor Hongzhi felt sorry for Yinzi and felt a lot of pain.
Now, Tang Yin’s article…
Emperor Hongzhi sighed, his face showed disappointment, and there was no new meaning. It was completely Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, which was a pity for this good literary talent.
After saying that, he put the paper aside.
During the review of the papers, Emperor Hongzhi had probably read several of Fang Jifan's disciples' strategy and opinions. Ouyang Zhi and others were exactly the same as Tang Yin's articles. However, Emperor Hongzhi prefers Ouyang Zhi's strategy and simple writing style. He likes Ouyang Zhi's strategy and simple writing style. On the contrary, he has a very good talent and piles up rhetoric strategies and is a little dislike.
However, Emperor Hongzhi was still disappointed.
Very disappointed.
Whether it was Tang Yin, Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, or Jiang Chen, these people who originally had high expectations for Emperor Hongzhi were all the same, and they mostly answered with Fang Jifan's thoughts.
There is no suspicion of fraud. Although it is the same, the explanations have their own advantages. Moreover, it is not surprising that they have the same origin as the same school, originated from the same school, and have the same thinking.
However, Emperor Hongzhi actually had great doubts about the mountain camp's method of forcing force. In reality, the purpose of the mountain camp was released, and the effect was only slight.
What a pity, it's a pity.
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and felt sorry for these disciples. As he said that after he put these papers in Wang Shouren and the other seven or eight policy statements, he did not take a look again.
However, when he saw Xu Jing's paper, he felt a little shiny. This strategy was naturally far less clear than Wang Shouren's current affairs, but it was quite well organized. The most important thing is that Xu Jing did not learn to walk in Handan...
Emperor Hongzhi stared at the Strategy for a long time and then sandwiched Xu Jing's test paper behind the Strategy for Wang Shouren and another.
It's getting late.
Seeing that so many test papers could not be finished in one day, Emperor Hongzhi stretched and showed a strong sense of fatigue on his face.
Seeing this, Liu Jian and others stopped marking the papers at hand. Liu Jian said, "If Your Majesty is tired, I will leave today and come again tomorrow."
"It's time to take a break. Thank you for your hard work, and you are also working hard. You are older, so you should pay attention to your health."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled, but deep in his eyes, he still had unpredictable disappointment. Perhaps because he was used to Fang Jifan's various excellence before, he suddenly became mediocre and was not used to it.
He paused and continued, "Drink a little tea to relieve the fatigue. Thank you all."
After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi gave a wink to the eunuchs beside him. The eunuchs understood that in the tea room beside him, hot tea had already been prepared and replaced directly for the monarch and ministers.
Li Dongyang was quite nervous. After he had the idea of having two top scorers from the Wang family father and son, he couldn't get rid of it. In the day of review, His Majesty, except for expressing his appreciation to Wang Shouren, no other tribute students said nothing.
It seems that the Wang family is going to shine this time.
He stroked his beard with a little joy on his face.
Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea and raised his eyes and said, "Wang Shouren is the fourth in the imperial examination. His father is assisting the prince, right?"
Li Dongyang didn't say anything. After all, he was too close to the Wang family, so he praised the Wang family just now. Now he talked about it, it was a bit too favoritism.
Liu Jian replied: "Your Majesty, Wang Hua is currently the youngest secretary of the Zhanshu's house."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "What a talented man."
After expressing this emotion without comment, he did not continue.
But... he had probably had an idea in his mind. If the future strategy and arguments are nothing outstanding tomorrow, then... he should make the final decision.
But now, he can't reveal anything.
This is a palace examination.
The original purpose of the palace examination is that the emperor selects the talents he thinks are most suitable for. This is crucial.
Who can match your heart?
This is not only related to the emperor's character, but also to the emperor's vision.
Emperor Hongzhi never doubted his own vision, he had this confidence.
However, this sudden emotion made Liu Jian and others look at each other, and their hearts... were roughly clear.
What a pity, originally... I thought that Fang Jifan's disciples could compete with each other, but now it seems...
Chapter completed!
