Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen and thought about it, he was indeed the best candidate.
Gao Zhen walked into the study, put down the snacks he was holding, and said seriously: "No one in Jinling City knows me. It's easy for me to enter the Imperial College."
"It's just." Gao Zhen expressed his hesitation, "I have never been to the Imperial College, so I really don't understand it."
Fan Li was a little surprised. According to the rules, as a prince, Gao Zhen should have studied in the Imperial Academy since he was a child.
Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly, feeling distressed for a while, and then said slowly: "The Imperial College was built by the previous dynasty. It was originally called Guozixue, but later changed to the Imperial College. It was the highest academic institution in the dynasty. It was led by Jijiu, the Secretary.
There are six courses in professional assistance, and each teaching doctor is a strong person in the field, but it is not that easy to enter the Imperial College. In addition to the annual tribute, the Imperial College students also have to pass the provincial examination."
Fan Li added, "However, there is a special case where relatives of the emperor or the descendants of people who have contributed to the court can be exempted from the examination."
Seeing that Gao Zhen had no other unusual reaction, Fan Li continued: "As far as I know, at present, 80% of the students in the Imperial College are descendants of aristocratic families, and only a few of them came through examinations."
"Then, where is Master Xia now?" Gao Zhen asked.
Luo Qingzhi said: "I was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
"So, where are those students?" Gao Zhen continued to ask.
"In the Imperial College." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen thought for a while and began to analyze, "So, Aluo doesn't want to hear one-sided words from the Imperial College or the Yushitai, but rather wants to hear the thoughts of the prison students."
Luo Qingzhi was a little surprised and nodded, "You continue."
"Or." Gao Zhen began to guess, "Or, Aluo wants to break this balance."
"Oh" Luo Qingzhi was a little confused, "What do you think the balance is?"
"...the balance between aristocratic families and poor families."
"Why did you make such a decision?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Zhen said: "Although I have been living in the palace for these years and I know nothing about the outside world, since I came outside, I feel that life outside the palace is actually very different."
"Why is it different?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Zhen said: "When everyone declares their family background, they will say where they are from. Although it is to explain their origin, it also allows others to distinguish whether this person comes from a wealthy family or a poor family."
"Especially this time when choosing a son-in-law." Gao Zhen continued: "There are so many young talents in my court, but in the end, there are so many children from aristocratic families."
Luo Qingzhi said deliberately: "However, this has been the case in all dynasties. The prosperity of the family is the result of the efforts of generations."
Gao Zhen shook his head, "What A Luo said is wrong. If everyone has the same starting point, then it is certainly true. However, this generation after generation has never received the same treatment."
"Then, those who work hard will be treated well." Luo Qingzhi said.
This time Gao Zhen did not answer immediately. He thought for a while and then said: "But the rules are wrong. Let's look at the Imperial College. To enter the Imperial College, the first step is to pay three years of annual tribute. Such basic rules,
It has already discouraged many people, and in addition, relatives of the emperor and children of aristocratic families have occupied the quota early, so it will naturally become more and more difficult for others to get ahead."
"But, haven't you ever thought about the possibility of taking the imperial examination?" Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen was silent, and Luo Qingzhi continued: "There are so many unfair things in this world, but as a court, it does not cut off the path for all poor families. Everyone can participate in the imperial examination. There have been many in the past dynasties.
After a poor student won the imperial examination, he entered the imperial court and became an official and made great achievements."
"..."
Gao Zhen said: "Aluo, I, I don't have any evidence to continue arguing, but I will look for it."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait."
Fan Li laughed loudly and came out to smooth things over, "Second Young Master's appearance reminds me of A Luo when I was young."
Gao Zhen became interested and asked: "What was Aluo like when he was a child?"
Fan Li said: "Like you, if you think injustice is wrong."
"This...is like this." Gao Zhen said.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Ah Chao, many things are difficult to judge in a true sense, but I very much hope that you can change everything."
Gao Zhen nodded solemnly, "Yes."
Luo Qingzhi sighed, "Hey, I still have to find my uncle. Whether it's to enter the Imperial College or to inquire about Xia's birthright, I have to rely on him."
"Have you figured out how to explain it?" Fan Li asked.
Luo Qingzhi was very confident and said: "I know very well that they will not be really angry."
Although the recruitment of a son-in-law has ended, Fan Li is still teaching Gao Zhen, leaving him homework and sending him away.
"I understand somewhat, why did you choose Gao Zhen?" Fan Li said.
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "He really looks very much like me ten years ago."
Fan Li said "Hey", "Aluo, the environment is different. As I said before, don't suffer yourself."
"I understand." Luo Qingzhi said: "He looks like me, but he is not me. He has a firm mind and is stronger than me."
"Have you guys talked about it? After all, it's not easy to win the right to be the heir." Fan Li said.
Luo Qingzhi thought of what she said yesterday, smiled angrily, nodded, "Yeah, we've talked about it."
"That's good." Fan Li nodded and continued: "Should we send Feng back from Nanzhao?"
"No need, he went to Jin'an." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Go to Jin'an?" Fan Li was a little shocked, "It's not war time now, so there's no need to inquire about any information?"
"There are more important things." Luo Qingzhi replied, and continued: "But it's not determined yet. I will tell you later."
Fan Li sighed, "Well, when you grow up, you won't be like when you were a child, telling your husband everything."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Sir, I'm afraid I haven't been with Qin Shu for a long time, so I have learned his tricks."
"I didn't learn this from Qin Shu, I think that girl Zhixin learned it from me." Fan Li said.
Mentioning Zhi Xin, Luo Qingzhi put away her smile and became a little worried, "I haven't received a letter from her for a long time. I don't know how she is doing."
"No letter for a long time?" Fan Li wondered, "The carrier pigeons in Yaowang Valley are all specially trained and can reach you in one day, unless she didn't send a letter at all."
Luo Qingzhi said: "The last time I wrote to her, she said she had to be busy with something."
"Don't worry." Fan Li comforted her, "That girl is weird, she will be fine."
"Okay." Luo Qingzhi stood up, "Then I'll go to my uncle's house."
In the study room of Baili Mansion, Baili Han was very surprised when he learned that the case of the Imperial College was handed over to Luo Qingzhi for investigation.
"Your Majesty, you actually handed this case over to you?"
Luo Qingzhi didn't understand and asked, "Is there anything cryptic about this case?"
Bailihan sighed deeply and explained, "The facts of this case are clear, and there are witnesses and evidence, but His Majesty has never made a verdict."
Luo Qingzhi said: "So, Master Xia Ji really opened a school privately?"
Baili Xi said: "The wine sacrifice in the school is an exaggeration, but the teachings are genuine."
"Isn't this Mr. Xia a doctor from the Imperial College before?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Bailihan nodded, "He was transferred to Yushitai the year before last and served as the envoy of Lantai."
"The more serious thing is," Bai Lihan said: "Those supervisory students taught by Xia Ji all got top marks in the evaluation last month."
"I understand." Luo Qingzhi said: "This matter is not easy to judge. If Xia Ji is found guilty, it will not only hurt the hearts of the poor students, but also make the aristocratic families question the supervision of the Imperial College and the imperial court.
.If Xia Ji is found not guilty, does it also mean that the Imperial College treats aristocratic families and poor families differently, and the struggle between aristocratic families and poor families has always been secretly exposed. And I, as a relative of the emperor,
This time I hired a poor family as my son-in-law, so how I judge this case will represent my attitude..."
Baili Xi was a little angry, "Your Majesty, I really gave you a difficult problem."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "I didn't know this before, so I agreed to this matter in the hall. I really shouldn't have done it."
Bailihan was also puzzled, "Qingqing, you have always done things safely, how could you accept the case without any investigation?"
Luo Qingzhi couldn't explain that this was an exchange, so she could only remain silent.
Baili shouted sarcastically, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and Qingqing is a minister. What position does she have to shirk this?"
"Yes." Bailihan lowered his head, "My father taught me that."
Luo Qingzhi was a little troubled, and turned to Bailihan and asked, "Uncle, are you familiar with this Mr. Xia?"
Bailihan shook his head, "This person doesn't like to talk. He is obsessed with books and has never interacted with him."
"Did he admit it?" Luo Qingzhi continued to ask.
"I admitted it when I was captured." Bailihan said.
"Hey" Luo Qingzhi finally sighed, "This person sounds like an upright person."
"You're really right." Bailihan said.
"So, what is this person's family background?" Luo Qingzhi continued to ask.
Bailihan patted the table and said, "You can't even imagine that he is Yuanjijiu's nephew."
"What." Luo Qingzhi was surprised, "Then, why did Master Jijiu sue his nephew?"
"I don't know, but I think the relationship between the two of them is probably not good." Bai Lihan said.
Luo Qingzhi was silent for a while and said: "I remember that Yuan Jijiu was a member of the northern gentry. After moving to the south, he got married to the Zuo family of Jiangzhou and was promoted to Jijiu all the way."
"But," Luo Qingzhi asked, "I don't know the origin of this Xia family."
Baili Xi said: "Seriously, this Xia family has something to do with your mother."
Luo Qingzhi hardly knew anything about her mother, and at this time, she was a little excited.
"The Xia family was originally a noble of Jinling, but something bad happened, leaving only a pair of siblings. This sister and your mother have been playmates since childhood, so your mother often helped them. Later, they moved out of Jinling, it should be
We went to Huqiu, and for some reason, the legitimate daughter of the Yuan family insisted on marrying the Xia family, which had completely lost power at that time." Baili Xi said.
Luo Qingzhi said: "The Yuan family probably disagrees."
"Of course." Baili Xi said, "But later on, I don't know why. They got married after all. However, the two families hardly interacted with each other. One family still lives in Jinling and the other lives in the suburbs of Beijing." This chapter has been completed!
