Ming Dynasty: Huddle around Beiping as magistrate. Chapter 259: Some are happy and some are sad Latest website: "However, you are the hope of our scholars in the north, and many of you are still academy students. Your Highness and
I cannot stand by and watch that when you take part in the imperial examination, you lag behind those southern scholars in answering the questions."
Hearing this, all the officials immediately looked at Guo An expectantly.
"Dare I ask what Guo Changshi meant?"
Guo An said: "I feel that all of you who can pass the exam are extremely smart people and have read the Four Books and Five Classics intensively.
The only thing that is inferior to those southern scholars is that they don't know how to solve problems and how to use the Four Books and Five Classics to solve problems."
The eyes of all the officials brightened up and they looked at Guo An as if they were seeing a close friend.
"What Guo Changshi said is absolutely true!"
Guo An added: "Therefore, we are going to open a small class for you in the academy, specifically for you to answer questions, and to train you how to use the Four Books and Five Classics to answer questions!"
"Question?"
Huang Boqian, Zheng Fan and others were stunned, and then asked with surprise on their faces: "I dare to ask Guo Changshi, but what topic did His Highness King Yan get from the capital?"
Guo An glanced at everyone blankly, "As northern scholars, how can you think of such evil ways?"
Huang Boqian asked: "But Guo Changshi, how should we choose the topic?"
Guo An smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness King Yan and we persuaded Mr. Du to take action and invited more than ten northern scholars to the academy."
"Really?"
Huang Boqian, Zheng Fan and others were immediately overjoyed.
Guo An looked solemn and asked: "These great scholars are here to give you lectures and give lectures. How many months are you willing to work hard?"
Huang Boqian, Zheng Fan and others quickly said, "Guo Changshi, as long as there is a great Confucian who can teach students and others about the Four Books and Five Classics, even if it takes several years, we are willing to do it."
"You all agree?"
Guo An asked again.
All the candidates replied with solemn faces, "Return to Guo Changshi, the students and others are willing!"
"Just think about it, as long as you enter the academy and study with those great scholars, there will be no chance of quitting!"
"Never quit!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan will send guards to personally guard outside the classroom to keep an eye on you all and not give you any chance to be lazy!"
"Let Guo Changshi arrange it!"
“Very good!”
Guo An nodded with relief, "When you go back, I will tell your father about this. You will live in the academy for the next few months. You will not go to Beijing to take the exam for a day, and you will not leave for a day."
.
In this regard, you can have fun outside for five days, and after five days you can go to the academy!"
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
……
Immediately, all the candidates dispersed with excitement on their faces, full of longing for the small classroom in the academy.
Growing up, they never had the chance to listen to the great Confucian lectures.
Unexpectedly, King Yan and Guo Changshi actually found more than ten people for them to come?
In this way, they will definitely be able to get into the top two spots in the imperial examination next year!
Even if you break into Yijia and shine on the lintel, it is not without hope!
These candidates all have this mentality, and their family elders also have the same mentality.
He also specially told Huang Boqian, Zheng Fan and other scholars for a long time that so many great Confucian teachings were an opportunity they would not encounter in a hundred years. They should not be lazy in any way or disrespectful!
At the same time.
The fathers of these people also personally brought some gifts to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to pay homage to the Princes of Yan, Zhu Di and Guo An.
"His Royal Highness King Yan and Guo Changshi are so concerned about Quanzi's imperial examinations that they even personally asked Mr. Du to invite many great scholars to come and teach him personally. The common people are deeply moved and brought some gifts today to express their gratitude to His Highness and Guo Changshi for their great contributions.
Thank you so much!"
"Exactly, such a great kindness, we can't express it in words. If anything happens to His Highness and Guo Changshi from now on, just give him your orders!"
"Your Highness, Guo Changshi, the dogs in my family and I are already a little proud after they were admitted to the imperial examination.
This time, if that bitch dares to be rude in front of the great scholar, I need to trouble His Highness and Guo Changshi to teach him a lesson!"
"Our northern gentry has been weak for a long time. Your Highness and Guo Changshi have done such good deeds. I think those gentry families will admire your Highness and Guo Changshi very much after they know about it..."
"..."
After the gentry finished their compliments, Zhu Di and Guo An nodded reservedly.
"Don't worry, everyone, we have invited so many great scholars to make sure that the candidates in our Beiping Prefecture can be named on the gold medal list.
We already know what you mean.
If anything happens, we’ll talk about it after the imperial examination!”
Hearing this, these gentry couldn't help but glance at Zhu Di in surprise.
However, Zhu Di did not explain too much.
On the sidelines, Guo An took over the topic and casually exchanged a few words with these gentry.
Then, these gentlemen said goodbye and left very wisely.
Zhu Di still had some doubts, "Guo Qing, if you invite these great Confucians to teach you, can those candidates really be admitted to Jinshi?"
Guo An, on the other hand, looked confident, "Your Highness, don't worry, all the questions in the examination are from the Four Books and Five Classics.
They try all the questions again and always encounter familiar ones.
As for the palace examination, His Majesty pays attention to pragmatism. Mr. Du has served as the fourth auxiliary officer...
Of course, if these people cannot learn to solve and answer the questions after doing hundreds of questions, then it means that God's will is not in the north!"
"What Guo Qing said makes sense..."
……
More than ten days later.
The guards and carriages sent by Zhu Di also returned.
At the same time, more than a dozen Northern Confucians and some Juren were returned.
