At the beginning of May, the results of the Taoist examination were released.
A total of 21 scholars were admitted in Qianshan County, and Hanzhu Academy accounted for 4. None of them were admitted to the private schools at the foot of the mountain, and they were all from academies halfway up the mountain.
Of these five newly minted scholars, only one was named Fei, and the rest were all descendants of other surnames.
The school immediately resumed classes. During lunch, a group of schoolchildren came in surrounded by Fei Ruyu.
"Which family does this Fei Ruyu belong to?" Zhao Han asked curiously, "I've never heard of him before, but he suddenly got the top spot in the county examination."
Fei Yuanjian sneered: "My second nephew's family must have bribed the county magistrate."
If you get first place in the county examination, you will definitely be admitted to the prefectural examination, otherwise the prefect will not give the magistrate face.
Therefore, bribing the county magistrate to be the leader of the case will definitely lead to promotion to Tongsheng!
Fei Ruhe also laughed and said: "What's the air? It's just that I got a boy student, and I'm like a scholar."
"Why is it so easy for scholars to pass the examination?" Fei Yuanjian began to gossip, "I heard from people that this year's Jiangxi school inspector is a very famous scholar. His name is Cai... what is Cai?"
Xu Ying suddenly interrupted: "Cai Maode."
"Yes, it's Cai Maode!" Fei Ruhe also joined the discussion, "My father said a few days ago that this Cai Tixue is a truly upright official. All those who tried to cheat in the Taoist test this year were found out. Those who wanted to spend money to buy
Scholars were also driven away by Cai Tixue. In the spring, he was invited to give lectures at Bailudong Academy. Thousands of scholars came to attend the lectures, and the library could not accommodate him. In the end, he could only give lectures in the open air for three days.
"
So awesome?
Zhao Han seemed to have some impression, and it seemed like it was the first time he heard about it.
Zhao Han was chatting at the table, and Fei Ruyu also sat down, being surrounded by schoolchildren and flattering her.
"It was a fluke that I came first in the county examination and also passed the government examination." Fei Ruyu was actually very humble and low-key. He asked a tribesman next to him, "How did the eighth brother pass the government examination?"
Tong Sheng, who was called his eighth brother, burst out laughing: "I wrote it randomly, thanks to the neighbor for helping me."
Fei Ruyu said in surprise: "Did your neighbor help you solve the problem?"
The eighth brother shook his head and said with a smile: "Hey, my neighbor helped me break half of it."
"Let's talk about it." Fei Ruyu was quite curious.
The eighth brother himself thought it was funny: "The prefect is a lunatic. He even made me stupid when he asked a question."
Fei Ruyu said: "I know, it's that 'the king is lustful and the king's ministers entrust his wife and his friends'. How did you solve the problem?"
The eighth brother said: "I kept reciting 'The king's minister entrusts his wife', which annoyed the students sitting next to me. The man then said, 'It is because the king is lustful because he entrusts his friends instead of the king'. I quickly copied it, and then
Passed the government examination!"
"Hahahahaha!"
All the schoolchildren burst into laughter.
Xu Ying looked strange and said in a low voice: "If this person can pass the imperial examination, he must have bribed the prefect, or at least the prefect's master."
Zhao Han exclaimed in amazement: "The Jiangxi imperial examination is so difficult that this kind of question is asked in the government examination?"
The prefect is an asshole!
The two passages before and after "Mencius: King Hui of Liang" were separated and then pulled together.
The general idea of the two original paragraphs is: rulers can make people live a good life, so it is not shameful to be lustful, it is just human nature... Some people entrust their wives and children to friends, but they go on a trip and come back to find that their wives and children are starving.
How should I treat this kind of friend who is freezing?
The eighth brother's question was completely irrelevant. It meant: The minister did not entrust his wife to the King of Qi, but entrusted it to the friend of the King of Qi because the King of Qi was lustful.
Then, this person was admitted as a child student...
What a hell if you didn’t pay for the bribe!
Fei Ruyu and the eighth brother, after having lunch, were surrounded by their friends and went up the mountain.
Even if you don't get admitted as a scholar, as long as you can be a child student, you can leave the private school at the foot of the mountain and go to the academy halfway up the mountain to study.
If it weren't for Cai Maode, the deputy envoy to study, these two guys would have been able to get the title of scholar directly by using money secretly!
At this moment, Cai Maode was writing a memorial. He wanted to impeach the prefect of Guangxin. He was accused of randomly giving exam questions and deliberately leading candidates into a ditch.
Why the random questions?
By making most of the candidates faint and making a complete mess in the examination, dozens of candidates can be easily recommended and no evidence of fraud in the imperial examination can be found.
After this incident, Zhao Han completely stopped thinking about taking the imperial examination.
"Don't worry about them, let's go practice martial arts!" Fei Ruhe said with a smile.
Fei Yuanjian said: "Yes, yes, practice martial arts!"
Fei Ruhe selected more than a dozen private school children to train in the military formation that the teacher had just taught, and he was as high-spirited as a general.
The schoolchildren were forced by his tyrannical power and found it fun to train soldiers and fight, so they were all very interested at first.
But on the second day, half of the children were in trouble, either with diarrhea, colds or fevers, and they just didn't come to practice anyway.
So hard!
Fei Ruhe was furious: "If you dare to fool me, I will kill them!"
Zhao Han quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "If you don't want to, what's the matter? These people can't count on us, so let's train on our own."
The next few months were uneventful.
Zhao Han studied, practiced martial arts, and learned the art of war every day, and his friendship with Xu Ying and Sanfei became increasingly close.
Fei Yuanjian got a new book boy, who was chosen and sent by Mrs. Chen. The boy's name was Fei Yu, he was smart and sensible, so the three costs became four.
Zhao Han started to grow taller and grew six centimeters taller in half a month.
This winter, a strong man suddenly came to Hanzhu Mountain, followed by two strong men, one black and one white.
"Fourth uncle, why did you come back to Qianshan?" Fei Ruhe was ecstatic.
Fei Yinggong said: "It's important for the family and the country!"
Fei Ruhe said: "Fourth Uncle, I have made a few good brothers, and I will learn from you in the future to be chivalrous and righteous."
"Get a bowl of water first, I'm dying of thirst." Fei Yinggong's mouth was dry.
The uncle and nephew went to the dormitory and shocked Zhao Han.
One of the entourage brought by this fourth uncle was a black man, a ghost slave sold to China by Portugal!
(Ghost slaves are also called black slaves in the country. The rich people in Guangzhong have many livestock ghost slaves. They are extremely powerful and can carry hundreds of kilograms. They speak incomprehensibly and have a pure nature and do not run away. They are also called savages. Their color is as black as ink.
The lips are red, the teeth are white, the hair is curly and yellow, and there are males and females.)
The Ming Dynasty was the main importing country of black slaves in the entire East Asia. The rich bought more slaves to look after their homes and homes, instead of using them to farm and pick cotton.
The black slave beside Fei Yinggon was over 1.8 meters tall. He was obviously carefully selected and purchased at an extremely expensive price.
"Greetings to Fourth Uncle!" Zhao Han bowed his hands.
Fei Ruhe introduced: "This is the adopted son Zhao Han, also named Fei Han."
Fei Yinggong drank a bowl of water, nodded to Zhao Han, and said, "I'll go to the mountain and you can play by yourself."
Fei Ruhe asked hurriedly: "My fourth uncle hasn't been home for several years, so why does he run to the mountains when he comes back?"
"Something big happened." Fei Yinggon said as he walked.
"What's the big deal?" Fei Ruhe quickly followed.
Fei Yinggong said: "The Tatars broke through the border, and the court was helpless. It rushed for eight hundred miles to send an order to King Qin. The governor of Wei was summoning King Qin's army in Jiangxi. I went back to Qianshan to recruit soldiers of the Fei family. Damn it, not one of the Fei family clans has joined him.
The king is willing to work hard, and he only sends a few taels of silver saying it is to support the military expenses. I come to the academy to try my luck and see if I can recruit some lofty ideals."
Zhao Han was very surprised and chased after him and asked, "When did it happen?"
"It was just last month," Fei Yingcong was too lazy to talk to the children, "I won't tell you anymore, I have to go up the mountain quickly!"
Although Wei Zhaocheng, the governor of Jiangxi, was greedy and incompetent, in the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, he was the only local governor in the entire southern region who was ordered by King Qin.
At least, sincerely commendable!
Watching Fei Yinggon go up the mountain, Zhao Han couldn't help but ask: "What does your fourth uncle usually do?"
"Great hero!" Fei Ruhe was so proud that he felt proud of you.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, due to the fierce social conflicts, the idea of "chivalry" became popular and developed abnormally.
For example, in the first year of Tianqi, Nanzhi Jieyuan and Chen Zushou were already raising knights. When he became a doctor in the Ministry of War, he made friends with more than a thousand warriors, all of whom were "Yuyang heroes". After his death, someone wanted to recruit these knights.
But those knights said: "We are so righteous that we die for Chen Jun, how can we respect the civil servants?" All the knights mourned and dispersed one after another.
Another example is Yin Geng, the deputy military envoy during the Jiajing period. He had no money to go to Beijing for a test. He won ten taels of silver through fraudulent gambling and bought a bad horse to go north. After traveling only a hundred miles away, he got a good horse. When he arrived in the capital,
He was full of money, all given by thieves along the way.
There was also Liu Tao, the censor of Zuodu during the Jiajing period. When he was sent to Shandong, the bandit leaders from the Central Plains defected to him one after another and followed him to take office in Jinan Mansion.
Gao Jie, the elder brother of Chief Assistant Gao Gong, was a young man named Ren Xia. Even after he won the imperial examination, he joined a group of thieves to rob business travelers. After winning the imperial examination, he finally restrained himself.
Wang Yangming’s disciples and grandsons even produced a lot of heroes.
These people were usually great Confucian scholars who led their disciples to lecture everywhere, often attracting crowds of people. Many thieves and knights came to seek refuge and became their disciples, and the great Confucian turned into the leader of knights.
Cui Chengxiu, the leader of the Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party, made friends with many heroes when he was patrolling Huaiyang. He would release robbers captured by the local government for two thousand taels of silver.
Fei Yinggong, the fourth young master of the Fei family, is a "Confucian knight".
This guy carries the book of a saint and travels around in the name of studying. Sometimes he visits famous teachers to study, and sometimes he associates with bandits for robbery. He has become famous in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, and many local officials respect him.
This time King Qin brought hundreds of bandits with him and they were under the command of the governor Wei Zhaocheng.
When the country is about to perish, evildoers will appear!
