Be a master through ancient times

"Everyone, this is the current situation, including today, there are still six days before the quarterly exam. I hope you will use these six days to explain the things Chu listed to the students."

Chuci asked He Ping to send out the things he had prepared.

"My lord, why didn't you say such an important matter before? There are still six days left, how can there be time?"

"Yes, it used to start at the beginning of the month. "Mencius" has seven chapters and fourteen volumes. How can I finish it now?"

The doctoral students looked worried. They hadn't listened to Chu Siye's order on this matter. They thought that there was no need to take the exam this season, but they didn't expect to be notified now!

"I also know that this matter is troublesome, but I have already studied the book "Mencius", and now I am just learning from the past. And please don't worry, Kou Qianhu and I sorted out all the sample papers of the previous quarterly exam yesterday, You already have a good understanding of the method of making questions for Tixue Dao. You can take a look at the things you have sent, and you only need to tell the students what I have listed." Chu Ci said.

Everyone lowered their heads and began to carefully read the things Chuci sent them. There were only seven sentences listed on it.

These seven sentences were circled and highlighted in the book after Kou Jing finished drawing the exam questions. After Chu Ci took it and read it, she couldn't help but admire it.Because if he was asked to circle, he would only circle these few sentences.He has always dealt with imperial examinations, and it is natural to be sensitive to topics, but Kou Jing has such a keen observation ability after serving in the army for several years, which cannot but be admired.

"Chu Siye, don't you really need to talk about the rest? Just seven sentences, isn't this a joke? Last season, our outer courtyard got a bad job. If this time... Sigh!" Yu Hui sighed, if Chu Siye They were also transferred after being reprimanded, and they, the Outer Court of the Imperial College, might really be powerless.

"Don't worry, Dr. Yu. It's a critical juncture. If you still can't make up your mind, I'm afraid the result will be even more unsatisfactory. Don't worry, everyone, Chu is the director of the Imperial Academy. Chu will also take on this matter with all his strength. In the past few days, I hope everyone can follow Chu's arrangement. Thank you for your help."

Chu Ci stood up and bowed to everyone.

The masters immediately stood up and saluted Chu Ci, saying yes.Now that Si Ye has said so, what do they have to worry about?Anyway, at the end of the day, the person who raised the Tao will be blamed, and they don't have to bear the responsibility.

After finishing the meeting with his masters, Chu Ci walked out of the meeting room and prepared to go back to the Siye Hall.He was going to compare the big events and small things that happened in the capital in recent years and the sample papers of the quarterly exams to find out the rules of the questions, and then among the seven sentences, determine the next sentence, and then teach the students how to solve the problems.

After reading the information collected by Zhang Dianji, he had some direction in his mind.This Tixue Dao has the responsibility of supervision, in order to control the quality of the officials who will be recruited by the imperial court in the future, especially those in the capital.Therefore, the exam questions they give are generally connected with what happened in reality.

Like the question in the March exam, it was compared with the flood.At that time, the incident of the flood was introduced to let the students speak freely.Among them, the phrase "the people are more benevolent than water and fire" in "The Analects of Confucius" was also used, which also made the emperor at that time a little angry.

Because of the snow disaster, the first emperor was once forced to issue an edict of guilt.He was sick in bed at that time, so this imperial edict was promulgated by the second prince, who is now Emperor Tianhe.This was an extremely disgraceful thing, and he had no choice but to write it. After he finished writing, he stood on the city tower and read it in front of all civil and military officials before finishing the calculation.Tianhedi swore at that time that he would never let this happen to him again.

Therefore, when the officials who raised the question at the time of Tixue Dao linked the matter of water and fire with the implementation of benevolent government, Tianhe Emperor hated the matter of floods, thinking that he should solve the matter as soon as possible to block the public's mouth, so that the criminals Such things as Jizhao are not mentioned.

And Chu Ci won the title of No. [-] Scholar by virtue of his article "Water Governance", and it is also through the power of this shareholders.

And in April, May, June, and March, if we talk about the major events that happened in the capital, the most important thing is the martial arts competition of the whole army, and there seems to be nothing else.

Although he had an idea in his mind, Chu Ci didn't dare to take it lightly, he still had to go to Tixue Dao to find out.

The Tixue Office was built near the Ministry of Rites, but it was not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, but was directly ordered by the cabinet.This is actually a decentralization of power, so in order to appease the officials of the Ministry of Rites, almost all the heads of the Tixue Dao Yamen under the jurisdiction of the capital of the Wei Dynasty had worked in the Ministry of Rites or had a close relationship with the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

For example, Chuci used to be the master of Tixue in Ganzhou Prefecture where he lived, and is now the master of Zhengti Xuezhu in Xijiang Province. His professional teacher is Zhou Guang, Minister of Rites, and the two of them have a closer relationship with Weng and his son-in-law.Although Zhu Tixue married Zhou Guang's concubine, the concubine of a second-rank official in the imperial court was not something ordinary people could imagine.Because of this relationship, Zhu Tixue was able to be promoted to Zhengti School in a province, and he enjoyed the guard of honor and treatment of a fourth-rank official.

"Brother, please let me know. I am the Secretary of the Imperial College, Chu Ci, who is here to visit Mr. Tixue." Chu Ci handed the greeting card to the porter.

"Chu Siye, wait a moment, the villain will report it right away." The porter of the Tixue Division was very polite.

Chu Ci waited outside for a while, and then saw the concierge come out.

"Chu Siye, Yang Ti is welcome to learn."

"It's work."

Chu Ci straightened his clothes and walked in behind the porter.But the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong. The place is open and there are many plants and trees. It seems to be the way to the garden, not the way to the office of Mr. Xue.

He has never seen this Yang Tixue before, and he has no personal relationship at all, so why would he meet him here?Chu Ci frowned, thinking that he would not fall into the trap of others, would he?

Seeing that Chu Ci's footsteps slowed down, the concierge probably sensed his mood, and said, "Chu Siye, Yang Tixue is entertaining guests in the back garden. I heard that you are here, so I asked the villain to bring you along with me." In the past, I asked my lord to walk a little faster, so as not to worry about learning from my lord."

"So that's the case. Tixue's yamen is very beautiful. Chu was dazzled by it for a while, so let's walk faster."

After passing through a moon gate, there was a faint voice coming from the front, and Chu Ci's ears were sharp. He always felt that he seemed to hear the voice of an acquaintance among the many voices.

Sure enough, when he got closer, he saw that Gu Siye was talking to an official in his fifties.This person is dressed in a third-rank official uniform, so he must be Yang Tixue.

"Xiaguan Chuci, I have met Mr. Tixue."

"Chu Siye is free of courtesy, this is the first time this old man has seen you. Haha, I never expected such a young Siye to come to the Imperial College."

This Yang Tixue was just talking nonsense with his eyes closed. He had already met Chu Ci several times in the morning court.But now he said he didn't recognize it, it was clear that there was something in his words.

Chu Ci is such a smart person, he understood the meaning of his words as soon as he heard it. This person is implying that he does not follow the rules. He probably wants to say that he came to see the officer for the first time after he has been a secretary for nearly two months. .

"Your Excellency Tixue doesn't know something, our Chu Siye is great. Just after taking office, he has already done several important things for the Imperial College, and everyone in the middle and upper levels knows about it." Gu Siye immediately added fuel to the sidelines.

It's a pity that his words failed to add fuel to the fire, but made Yang Tixue even more unhappy.He said that everyone in the court knows, isn't it contrary to what Yang Tixue said just now?Could it be that he is not a member of the court?

"Master Tixue, please forgive me. Chuci is new here, and I know very little. I have heard of your reputation before, but I have no one to recommend you. I am afraid that I will come here to displease you, so I never came to visit you. I am really confused today. It was only then that I came to the door boldly, and seeing your lordship being so lenient and benevolent, I felt annoyed in my heart, if I had known that your lord was like this, I should have come to pay my respects on the first day."

What Chu Ci said made Yang Tixue feel very comfortable.This Chu Siye is different from the previous Liu Siye, he is a wonderful person.

"Hey, what did Chu Siye say? The old man was overjoyed to see you, so how could he blame you? As soon as you come today, all the academies in the capital will be in charge."

Only then did Chuci have the time to look at the other people.Apart from him and Gu Siye, there was another person wearing official uniforms. This official uniform was not the same as theirs. Chu Ci had seen it before, so he must be the head of the school in the capital.

The other people were all dressed in Confucian shirts and looked very refined. They should be the heads of the six academies.

After they met each other, they sat down and chatted for a while, talking about romantic affairs, without mentioning the intention of coming.

When the timing was about right, Yang Tixue spoke up. He looked at everyone, and then said with a smile, "I know why everyone took the time to come here today, but I'm afraid we will be disappointed. Because this year's The question is not from the hands of the official."

"Master Tixue, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that this time the topic was chosen by Mr. Wen himself." The Department of Tixue is directly managed by the cabinet, and Mr. Wen is their immediate boss.

"Teacher Wen is back? I remember that the old man went to give lectures?"

"Exactly, Mrs. Wen came back the day before yesterday. As soon as the old man came back, he went around the Tixue Yamen, and then talked about the question, and ordered that the questions for the quarterly exam are up to him." Come out, and on the day of the exam, it will be sent directly to everyone."

Yang Ti learned a few words, making everyone silent.

Although Tixue adults will not directly explain the questions before, they will reveal the key points and directions, so that everyone can narrow the scope.This time, Mrs. Wen himself will come up with the questions himself, maybe he will come to check the papers too, if something goes wrong then it will be very embarrassing.

Chu Ci also gave a wry smile, Liu Siye was too high-minded before, and he didn't participate in the key points of this painting.And even if Gu Siye listened, he would only hide it and would not tell him.But he was really unlucky himself, and managed to narrow the scope and get closer to the exam questions, but it turned out that Mrs. Wen directly posed the questions. I don't know who this Mrs. Wen is?
