Feng Ziying had no idea that going to Qingtan Academy and getting a letter of recommendation from Qiao Yingjia would cause such an uproar.
Especially among my group of classmates and "friends", feeling this way is like a thorn in the hearts of many people.
He had previously considered that in a Wuxun family like the Feng family, as the legitimate son and only son, he suddenly had to go to school and take the scientific examination, which might cause some reactions from the Wuxun group.
But there are precedents like Jia Jing and Jia Zhu, so it seems reasonable.
The Feng family is in a state of flux now, and if my uncle doesn't love grandma, if he doesn't find a way out, he will surely decline slowly.
Everyone can see my father's situation, so studying and taking the scientific examination by myself can barely be considered a "desperate" move.
But he didn't realize that he went to Qingtan Academy to study, especially after being recommended by civil servants like Qiao Yingjia, and right after his trip to Shandong to deal with the Linqing Civil War, even the emperor and the elders gave him the recommendation.
Good reviews, this joint that attracts so much attention from both inside and outside has touched some people greatly.
Even though his father withdrew his intention to become the general soldier of Datong Town, some people still found it hard to let go.
At this time, he had made all preparations, materially, mentally, and psychologically, and was ready to go to Qingtan Academy to study.
Qingtan Academy is located outside the city in a small market town in the east of Wanping County.
Nominally, this place is under the jurisdiction of Wanping County, but Wanping County and Daxing County almost divide the entire capital. The squares in the city, the suburbs, and the countryside further out, Wanping and Daxing counties are sandwiched here.
This complex management model is at the lowest level.
Naturally, you have the right to control the houses in the city and suburbs, but the county has the right to control it, which does not mean that you can manage it all. There are more agencies to intervene, such as the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, the Ministry of Industry, and the Dragon Ban
Wei, like..., a lot.
Feng Ziying came alone.
Resolutely refusing Ruixiang, Feng Zuo and others to send her off, Feng Ziying carried a quilt and book box on her back, asked the government carriage to take her to the small town, and then walked to the academy.
The academic style of Qingtan Academy is rigorous, and most of the scholars come from poor families. Feng Ziying thought that these people may have a natural hatred for the children of wealthy families, especially some who are narrow-minded. There is no need to attract people's attention.
Although these people are very likely to become part of wealthy families once they are promoted to officials in the future, it is estimated that many people have not yet changed their "original intention" of envying the rich but also hating them.
Chaimen, earthen wall, bungalow, and a plaque above the low courtyard gate. The four characters "Qingtan Academy" are strong and powerful. It seems that it was written by everyone at first glance, and there is also a couplet at the door.
"If you make meritorious deeds, you can write nine thousand words; if you ask questions, you can write tens of thousands of words."
Feng Ziying chewed for a while, nodded slightly, her tone was not small, but she deserved it. After all, she was a role model for a scholar, so boasting like this was in line with her temperament.
It seems that this Qingtan Academy really has some character. If a martial arts disciple like me wants to study in this academy, I am afraid that I will have to suffer a lot of looks and humiliation in the early stage.
The double wooden doors are ajar, and the steps made of slatted bluestones only have three steps, but they are extremely generous.
Feng Ziying took a deep breath, this is where she may study and live for several years in the future.
If you are lucky, you can pass the Jinshi exam in six years. If you are unlucky, it may take nine or even twelve years to pass the exam.
But no matter what, he must take this path. If he wants to live and survive better in this era, other paths will not work.
As soon as I arrived and walked up the steps, someone's voice came through the door: "I heard from the principal that there are new students admitted to the hospital in the past few days?"
"Well, it seems like, isn't he the dude who made a big splash during the Shandong civil uprising?"
The other voice obviously did not have a northern accent, but a strong southern accent.
But Feng Ziying couldn't tell where the accent came from.
Why doesn't it sound like the accent from southern Zhili and Fujian and Zhejiang, but rather like the accent from Huguang, Sichuan and Yunnan? Doesn't it mean that Qingtan Academy is still dominated by scholars from the north?
"Oh? Do you really want to come to our Qingtan Academy? I thought it was just a rumor? What are these dandies doing in our academy?" The young voice with a slight Jin accent said angrily: "Then Tonghui
The Academy and Chongzheng Academy are where people like them should go, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. Doesn't the mountain chief advocate education without distinction? It doesn't matter who comes, as long as they can tolerate the rules of our academy, endure the hardships of our academy, and uphold the purpose of studying in our academy, then it doesn't matter.
question."
Just when Feng Ziying still felt that this person's attitude was acceptable, she heard the other party's words change: "But these martial arts disciples may have relied on some brute force and happened to catch up with fame and fortune. Maybe
I feel that reading can be accomplished overnight. After a few days, I will understand that reading is different from such foolhardy things. It takes years and years to penetrate the stone."
This guy!
Feng Ziying was both funny and angry.
Even before our own people came, they had already been slandered by these people. It seemed that the impression of our nobles in the minds of these scholars was already extremely bad.
No wonder the civil servants are so critical of the nobles. Thinking that these people will become the mainstay of the civil servants of the Zhou Dynasty in the future, how can the nobles get a favor?
"That's a bunch of vulgar warriors who think that if they can use guns and clubs, they can pacify the world." The southern accent was even more disdainful, "To govern a country and bring peace to the world, you don't rely on using swords and clubs, but also rely on the Analects of Confucius.
."
Can half of the Analects rule the world? Feng Ziying chuckled, this guy's tone is quite serious.
"I have been studying hard for ten years in the cold window, just to rule the world for the king. How can I be associated with those who are just sitting in the shadow of my father's generation?" The young voice with a Jin accent paused and said: "If someone comes here and can
Self-examination and self-improvement are all that matters. If you think you have some merits for the imperial court and you feel arrogant about it, we will be willing to be punished by the court rules and we will write to the chief of the mountain to ask for the expulsion of this person."
Feng Ziying was speechless. She was already being expelled before her own people arrived. So what?
He had no enmity with them. Even if he was a disciple of Wu Xun, he wouldn't be so unwelcome, right? This puzzled him.
"Hey, the atmosphere of Qingtan Academy is the Taoist right and wrong behind the scenes?"
Feng Ziying has never been the kind of person who is willing to be mediocre. When people are paying attention to him both internally and externally, he needs to keep a low profile. That is because he does not have the strength to withstand the attention.
But when you get to the academy, it's different.
There are still some young scholars here who have not yet become officials. If you want to gain a foothold among them, or even want to become the best among them, and become their leader, naturally you cannot hide your talents in a box, at least you have to show up occasionally.
The edge allows some people to see their own light.
"I always thought that Qingtan Academy would face students from all over the world with an inclusive mentality and atmosphere, teach students clearly and solve their doubts, teach everyone without distinction, and benefit the world. Otherwise, how could it lead Shuntian Prefecture and even Beidi? How can we be able to lead Shuntian Prefecture and even Beidi?
Are Jinling Chongwen Academy and Baima Academy competing for love?"
A series of rhetorical questions made the two young scholars who had just walked to the door blush and be speechless. They didn't know how to answer for a while.
It was obvious that the young man standing at the gate ready to come in was the "dandy" they mentioned.
Talking behind someone's back is an immoral act, and both of them are gentlemen. It was just a casual way to vent their emotions, but they never expected that the person involved would hear it.
If it rises to the level of questioning the academic style of Qingtan Academy and affects the reputation of the academy, then the two of them cannot afford to suffer.
Especially since I was still saying that there is no distinction between education and discrimination before, but now someone took advantage of this sentence and countered it, especially since I am now very well-known in and outside the court, I really want him to take advantage of this opportunity to use these words.
After shaking it off, Chongzheng Academy and Tonghui Academy, who couldn't find a suitable opportunity to criticize and suppress their own academies, caught this and stir up trouble?
The young man who spoke with a Jin accent only hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and bowed deeply in salute.
"Brother, what you said is very true. I have a shallow moral character and am limited by my family views. I would like to apologize to my brother and ask for your understanding!"
Seeing that his companion apologized decisively, the boy with a Nannan accent also hurried forward and followed suit, apologizing sincerely.
