Chen Ping knew his teacher’s temperament, so he kept this feeling in his heart.
In ancient times, the king of heaven and earth was the master!
Among them, at the division level, sometimes they can even be ranked before their relatives.
This is because the ancients took the master-disciple relationship very seriously.
Students respect and respect their teachers, and teachers will treat their disciples as sons and daughters and train them carefully.
"After the boy has tried it, you can choose a book." Mr. Ye reminded.
In ancient times, students were initiated by their teachers and first learned to read and write.
Then start with the Thousand-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Three-Character Classic.
Then there are the Four Books and Five Classics and other sage articles.
When you get older, you need to determine the root cause you want to treat.
The so-called treatment of root causes refers to establishing the direction that one wants to study throughout his life.
Some people regard Mencius as the fundamental scripture, while others regard Doctrine as the fundamental scripture.
Because they have to take the imperial examination, the classics of scholars will basically not deviate from the category of the Four Books and the Five Classics.
Of course, it’s not absolute.
In the previous history, the Song Dynasty had a strange story, and this book was chosen from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
This incident was once considered a joke.
But when it comes to the most famous root cure in history, it is none other than Guan Erye during the Three Kingdoms period.
I read Spring and Autumn Period!
"Yes, teacher."
Chen Ping followed the good deeds and bowed his hands.
Although his foundation is a bit poor, he has experienced the baptism of later generations' question-sea tactics, and he is not afraid of doing other questions besides endorsement!
"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you, my teacher!"
"Although the boy's examination is not comparable to the real imperial examination, it is also an examination for selecting people for the country and the government. Some of the taboos are the same as those for the imperial examination, so you have to understand it in advance."
"Taboo?"
Chen Ping was stunned when he heard the sound.
Then I couldn't help but think that one thing that was often mentioned in costume dramas in the past was the emperor's name. It was an absolute taboo for the common people, and they could not be mentioned or written in any case.
If the emperor's name appears in the imperial examination articles, even one word of it.
No matter how good your article is, it will be considered disrespectful.
For example, the Tang Dynasty in the previous life had a system of three provinces and six ministries.
The Ministry of Household Affairs was actually originally called the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Later, when Li Shimin ascended the throne, the word "Shimin" became taboo, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs was also changed to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Seeing Chen Ping's confused look, Mr. Ye couldn't help laughing and jokingly said: "What, where is the shrewdness of the past?"
"Teacher, please stop making fun of me. I really don't know anything about the history of the country."
In fact, this is not Chen Ping’s fault, nor is it because he doesn’t want to learn.
In fact, he has always wanted to find a book on history.
This world also has the Four Books, Five Classics and Three Kingdoms, and I have heard a lot of historical allusions.
So I am very curious about when the shift occurred and the Dayu dynasty emerged.
"I don't blame you for that. As a teacher, I will tell you about the history of our great dynasty."
Mr. Ye cleared his throat and began to speak slowly.
"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, many heroes came together, and the foreign tribes in the north were ready to make a move. The people were in dire straits. Fortunately, the great Taizu started his career as a commoner. He conquered the south and the north and finally pacified the Central Plains."
"It's a pity that Taizu accidentally contracted wind and cold during his northern expedition and died on the way."
"Now that the Dayu Dynasty has passed down, he is already the ninth emperor."
Chen Ping asked, "Nine emperors? Doesn't that mean we need to avoid dozens of words?"
If it’s a rare word, that’s fine, but if it’s a commonly used word, it’s a bit more difficult.
Mr. Ye shook his head with a smile and explained: "That's not necessary. You just need to avoid the taboos of Taizu and the current saint."
Listening to Mr. Ye's words, Chen Ping gradually gained a clear understanding of the world.
This world is the same as the previous life, with the same Yao, Shun, Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
History has continued to develop until Li and Tang Dynasties, and nothing has changed.
The difference is that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were divided into regimes. The war lasted for more than 70 years.
The Song Dynasty appeared in the previous life, and Dayu appeared in this world.
If calculated based on the history of previous lives, the current period is roughly the Southern Song Dynasty.
Of course, Dayu is not a weak Song Dynasty. With its solid and reliable army, it has been fighting back and forth with the North.
......
It’s a foregone conclusion that we will participate in the Children’s Championships.
After Chen Ping rested for a few days, he followed the rules and went through the election process.
Then Magistrate Wang confidently reported the prodigy he recommended for the first time to the government office.
Today is different from the past. Due to the recent road construction, Magistrate Wang's prestige in Yongshun County has skyrocketed.
No one would dare to give eye drops to a proud county official at this time.
Everything went smoothly without any trouble.
While Chen Ping was studying hard in the county government office with his books in hand, the city became lively again.
Outside the county government office.
There was a loud sound of gongs and drums, mixed with the sound of some musical instruments.
Chen Ping looked around and didn't see Mr. Ye or Magistrate Wang, so he sneaked out out of curiosity.
As soon as he arrived at the front gate of the county government office, he saw a group of people walking in.
The first person was an official wearing a crimson robe.
According to the etiquette of the Dayu Dynasty, those who can wear crimson official robes must be at least senior officials of the fourth rank.
The magistrate of Zhengxing Prefecture in Qianzhou is from the fourth grade!
At this time, Magistrate Wang was carefully accompanying him.
While leading the way, he introduced the customs and local characteristics of Yongshun County to the prefect.
The prefect did not show off to his subordinate, Magistrate Wang, but looked overjoyed.
Even when entering the county government office, I had to hold Magistrate Wang’s hand and enter side by side with him.
The people watching only felt that this gentleman was humble enough and did not rely on officials to coerce others, and they admired this man's cultivation.
Only those who have been involved in official circles know its meaning.
County Magistrate Wang is about to be promoted!
If not, how could the prefect do such a thing that goes against the dignity of superiors and inferiors in front of everyone?
In fact, these people are not the only ones who speculate like this.
Even Magistrate Wang himself trembled slightly with excitement.
My many years of hard work and merit have finally been seen by the court.
Thinking of so many years of hard work, Magistrate Wang's eyes turned red.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I would really want to burst into tears to vent the depression in my heart over the years.
The prefect took out a red-edged official document and handed it over with a smile.
Magistrate Wang just woke up from a dream and quickly took it with both hands carefully.
The prefect said kindly: "This is just an official document issued by the Ministry of Industry, not news from the Ministry of Officials. But it emphasizes your contribution to repairing the roads in the county by raising your own money."
"It is said that Jingli has decided to award you a reward, and the officials from the Ministry of Personnel are probably on their way here right now."
"I am here this time not only to see with my own eyes the path I have built, but also to give you good news in advance."
Although he talked about commendations, he did not mention promotion at all, in order to avoid suspicion of clique.
But the two people, who are well versed in the rules of officialdom, all understand what this means.
A county magistrate received public praise from the court, and an official from the fourth rank condescended to come to inspect.
Even if it is inconvenient to say it clearly, the possibility of promotion is already over 90%.
County Magistrate Wang bowed deeply to the prefect and said emotionally: "Why do you deserve such praise from the imperial court for your humble work?"
"But the kindness of the Lord Fu for many years of protection has always been engraved in my heart, and I will never forget it!"
Although over the years, the prefect’s attitude towards Wang Zhixian can only be regarded as mediocre.
There is neither suppression nor support.
But Magistrate Wang still had to flatter him like this because the person in front of him was his immediate superior.
Naturally, a portion of all the merits and achievements one has made should be attributed to this person.
Seeing that Magistrate Wang was so on the road, the magistrate's purpose of coming here has been achieved, and his smile became brighter.
.......
Night is approaching.
Magistrate Wang finally settled the magistrate and his party.
He felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion, but he could not suppress the faint smile in the corners of his eyes.
Seeing no one around, Mr. Ye and Chen Ping stepped forward to congratulate him.
"Congratulations to the county, congratulations to the county!"
Magistrate Wang resisted the urge to laugh loudly and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Now I have only received a document from the Ministry of Works. There is neither an imperial edict nor an official document from the Ministry of Personnel. I haven't even written the eight characters yet. It's still early to congratulate me."
Although he still maintains the humility of a scholar, he can't hide the corners of his mouth.
Ye Laoshang could understand this man's joy, but Chen Ping was a little speechless.
Unexpectedly, Magistrate Wang, who is usually capable, steady and calm in his work, and is calm when faced with numerous obstacles in road construction, would actually react in the same way when faced with a commendation from the court.
It seems that the officials of the Dayu Dynasty still have absolute centripetal force towards the imperial court.
It is absolutely different from the state at the end of those dynasties in previous lives.
Magistrate Wang was not a shallow person. He was happy for a while and then gradually suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to discuss business matters.
He said to Mr. Ye and Chen Ping.
"Now that the imperial court has approved the policy of donating money for road construction, and today's inspection by the prefect has allowed those rebellious Xiao Xiaoxiao to see the imperial court's attitude, then we no longer have any worries."
"In my opinion, once the busy farming season is over and the people take a break, the county's roads can begin major repairs."
"Based on the amount of money and food that has been raised so far, it is enough for us to renovate 80% of the county's main roads."
Speaking of road construction, Magistrate Wang's eyes immediately lit up.
Judging from the current situation, no one inside or outside Yongshun County should stop this matter.
The situation is excellent, and the plan mentioned by County Magistrate Wang is indeed feasible.
Mr. Ye shook his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said to County Magistrate Wang.
"My lord, are you too hasty?"
"Although everything seems to be going well now, we must not take it lightly."
With many years of experience, Mr. Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in such an unexpected and smooth situation.
"What Mr. Ye said is not unreasonable. Let's take a long-term view after we are busy with farming."
Magistrate Wang did not lose his mind and agreed to discuss how to implement other road repairs later.
