Zhang Anshi said, "I can help. I want to share my brother-in-law's worries. My brother-in-law is the best to me on weekdays. I will risk my life to help him solve his problems."

Mrs. Zhang smiled: "It's good if you have this intention."

Zhu Zhanji said from the side: "Mother, concubine, I have tried my best to help my parents solve their problems. I am sincere."

Mrs. Zhang touched Zhu Zhanji's head with a look of approval.

Zhang Anshi, however, lowered his head and remained silent.

In fact, he was indeed bragging just now.

But now, an idea suddenly popped up.

Is there a possibility, that is... a possibility that can truly solve my brother-in-law's troubles?

His mind started to run wildly with lightning flashes.

It is now the second year of Yongle, and in the early Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination system was not perfect.

Although Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty started the imperial examination, he had clear requirements for the system and style. Scholars must pass three examinations to participate in the imperial examination. However, the writing method was occasional or scattered, and there were no fixed rules at first.

Therefore, in fact, everyone is blind and trying to grasp the elephant.

It should be more than 20 years ago in Hongwu when the imperial examination began to form a strict style.

Among them, I have only gone through the imperial examination twice, and now it is the third time.

The scholars in Jiangxi, or in other words, the scholars in the entire south, can form a huge advantage. On the one hand, although there are many wars in the north, the south is relatively stable, so the writing style in the south is flourishing, which has a great advantage over the north.

On the other hand... the current era, regarding the imperial examination, is somewhat like the period when the college entrance examination was just resumed in later generations.

Everyone doesn't know what the test will be, so the questions on the test are not difficult. Those who can pass the test... just need to be better than others.

The actual examination of this imperial examination has not started yet.

When it came to actually taking the papers, by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, or even the end of the Ming Dynasty, the examination papers at that time were extremely abnormal, and countless candidates, in order to pass the examination, had long been familiar with the routines of the imperial examination, starting from how to make troubles.

How to practice the eight-part pattern, and then how to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. There are also some teachers who specialize in exams. They do nothing every day and just speculate about the examiner's preferences.

This is an arms race, and this arms race has not yet begun. What everyone is fighting for is their heritage.

Obviously many people have not really begun to realize how crazy those scholars would be for the imperial examinations in the next few hundred years.

This is just like any candidate in future generations who has gone through countless internal examinations, done various question banks every day, and been influenced by various cram schools. If they are placed in the resumption of the college entrance examination, how golden they will be.

Zhang Anshi took a deep breath, and a thought came to his mind... I, Zhang Anshi, may not understand what eight-part essay is, but I know how to take exams, and I know how to write them.

What would happen if he asked scholars from the north to take the exam with these scholars who are still in a state of chaos and have not yet figured out the exam routines?

Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi couldn't calm down.

At least give it a try!

What will it be like if a guy who went through Hengshui Middle School is sent to resume the college entrance examination?

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hahahaha...I thought of it."

After that, he ran away in a flash.

When Mrs. Zhang saw Zhang Anshi's reckless behavior, she couldn't help but get angry: "What do you look like? I only praised you a few words, and then you do this again..."

As he said this, Mrs. Zhang shook his head.

Zhu Zhanji sat upright on the side and said with a sweet voice: "Mother and concubine, son and minister are different, son and minister are not reckless, son and minister listen to mother and concubine the most."

…………

Zhang Anshi returned to Guozixue happily.

He rushed into the Hall of Justice.

He shouted: "What's going on? Does this guy have itchy skin?"

Gu Xingzu read more seriously.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu held rulers and walked back and forth, circling around Gu Xingzu.

Only Qiu Song was sleeping soundly on the desk with his head on his head.

Zhang Anshi rushed to Gu Xingzu and asked, "Where is your family from?"

When Gu Xingzu saw Dr. Zhang Anshi's fierce look, he was trembling with fear, tears welling up in his eyes. At this time, even his grandfather could no longer trust him, so he had to timidly say: "In reply to the doctor, I... I am from Yangzhou, and my ancestral home is Hunan.

Xiangtan."

Zhang Anshi grabbed his lapel and picked him up, saying, "I'm talking about household registration, household registration. Where is your family's household registration yellow book?"

Gu Xingzu was about to cry, and he stuttered: "Originally we were in South Zhili, but then... later... they killed my parents, and my grandfather joined the Northern Army. He should... he should have moved to North Zhili.

"

"Beizhili?" Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up: "Are you sure you didn't move here later?"

Gu Xingzu said: "No...no...my master has been campaigning east and west, but I don't have the skills to do so. Moreover, many of the ministers who are in trouble have their household registrations in Peiping, and no one has changed them."

Peiping is now the place where dragons flourished during the Yongle period. It is a symbol of being a dragon in the past. This is a qualification. It is strange that someone is willing to change it.

Zhang Anshi slapped Gu Xingzu on the head and laughed excitedly and said: "Hahahahaha... In this case, the matter is half done. Okay, it's great. I'm very happy. Xingzu, do you know how to be a master?"

Have I always valued you? You will definitely be successful in the future."

Gu Xingzu: "..."

Zhang Anshi continued: "After much thought, our study... is still too lax. If a man wants to have great ambitions, he must not be afraid of hardships. Have you finished memorizing the book?"

"I can barely memorize it."

Zhang Anshi scolded: "What's the use of you, you can't memorize it for three days? Starting today, within ten days, you have to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics backwards. If you can't memorize them, you are deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors. To tell the truth,

You, Assistant Qiu, have long wanted to blow you up into the sky, but I have always been stopping you. If you are lazy again, try again."

Gu Xingzu trembled: "I...I carry it, I carry it..."

Zhang Anshi said his decision: "In ten days, you will write an essay and take the Jinshi examination."

Gu Xingzu: "..."

Even though his IQ was pretty good, at this time he still felt that his brain capacity was limited and could not accommodate such an explosion of information.

Zhang Anshi's expression was very serious at this time, and he said with a bit of ferocity: "If you fail the exam, you will be dead. Don't blame me for not reminding you, I, Zhang Anshi, can do anything."

On this point, Gu Xingzu believed.

Zhang Anshi slapped Gu Xingzu hard on the shoulder: "Tell me now, are you confident?"

Gu Xingzu said pitifully: "No...no..."

Zhang Anshi was furious, bulging his eyes and said: "Are you confident?"

Gu Xingzu trembled and said subconsciously: "Yes."

Zhang Anshi finally smiled and said: "You all heard it. He said he was confident and even issued a military order to me. If he disgraces our four brothers by then, he will be dead."

Gu Xingzu: "..."

Zhang Anshi geared up: "Brothers, come here, I have something to tell you."

All of a sudden, Zhu Yong was overcome with several emotions.

Yes, we also have to take the imperial examination, no, we have to send people to take the imperial examination.

Only then can there be hope.

so fun.

Big brother is big brother, and he will always have an endless supply of good ideas.

Zhang Anshi first looked at Zhu Yong: "No matter how much money you take these days, go and find me the articles and eight-legged essay written by the four examiners Xie Jin, Jin Youzi, our mentor Hu Yan, and Hu Guang.

It’s best not to be afraid of spending money. In short, we need to understand their grammar.”

Zhu Yong said: "I understand, I will dig three feet into the ground and still want to find it."

"There are also their preferences, such as whose poems and essays they like, which historical figures they like, what hobbies they have, of course... I don't want to know about the other dirty hobbies."

Zhu Yong said: "I have friends in Jinyiwei, it's a trivial matter."

Zhang Anshi said to Zhang Fu again: "In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu and the second year of Jianwen, I want to find all the Jinshi articles in the imperial examination. Again, don't be afraid of spending money."

Zhang Fu said: "I will definitely find him."

Zhang Anshi said: "If there are any famous teachers in the capital who have some experience in imperial examinations, please find them for me. Find at least three or four and hire them. We will pay them as much as they want and let them do one thing. Then

Just help us read the article. If the other party refuses to come..."

Having said this, Zhang Anshi paused for a moment, showed some fierceness, and said: "Third brother, do you know what to do?"

Zhang Fu, however, lowered his head and said, "Would it be bad if such a famous teacher and scholar were beaten to death?"

Zhang Anshi scolded: "I didn't teach you to beat them to death, I mean... throw money at me until they are willing to come. If they don't look down on our money, they must have wives and children. He himself always

Do you have hobbies? If you like calligraphy and painting, give him calligraphy and painting. If you like women..."

Zhang Fu perked up and said, "I know how to do this."
