Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 264

In the fourth of the eighth year of Hongzhi, Shoufu Liu Ji and Sifu Qiu Jun made official appointments at the same time. The emperor gave chariots and horses to servants, rewards of gold and silver coins and silk, and sent two hardworking patrons home.

Although they were paying official duties at the same time, the two left Beijing but they separated: Qiu Ge first went first, and Liu Ge called his students to chant a poem goodbye. He dragged on for a while until he didnt leave. Just drove the horse away from Beijing.

On the way back home, looking in Qian’an’s direction, he still complained that Cui Xie didn’t have him in his heart.

If he told him when the old lady of the Cui family passed away, asking him to write a tomb table, epitaph or something, wouldn’t he also borrow Cui Xie’s luck? Moreover, he had always been the first assistant in power before, and he was also a person who was good at poetry. Many people asked him to write these things, and Cui Xie never asked him

Hey, who taught him to be in the cabinet, to be obsessive, and to be less famous than Li Dongyang?

Liu Shoufu returned to Baoding with sorrow, and also embarked on the old road of his predecessor and in-law Wan Shoufu. He stepped onto the stage and looked at the capital every day, hoping that the emperor would think of him as a veteran again and call him to recover. He is younger than Wange when he went to the field, and he is in good health. He just exercises day after day, and writes a few poems of Sijun to the younger generations of friends in Beijing from time to time, and occasionally sends them to Yongping Mansion next door. Cui Xie’s house.

It’s a pity that Cui Xie already has a big brother Li, and a red heart toward the future old man has never let him go.

The two pavilion elders paid their official posts one after another, and Li Dongyang immediately entered the pavilion as a bachelor of attendance and a minister of rituals. The three elders of Xu, Liu, and Li are honest and capable, and they are willing to support the younger generation, and then the privates used by Liu Ge to go down to the Qing Dynasty, the upper and lower courts can be regarded as “the beauty of the beauty, which is impressive.”

Moreover, the configuration of these three pavilions is closer to Cui Xies memory of “Li Gongmou, Liu Gongjuan, and Xie Gong are still talking”. Only a new old pavilion alternates between old and new pavilions, and the best prime minister team of the Hongzhi Dynasty can operate stably. Up.

Although Cui Xie was guarding the dual filial piety in the countryside, he was first sent by Liu Ge to ask him for articles and good seeds, and then followed by news from Xie Ying and Li Dongyang, and he knew the change in the DPRK right away. .

He immediately sent a letter to Jingli, congratulating Teacher Li on becoming the old patron, and took the opportunity to ask him to write an epitaph for his grandmother, and then help invite the old man or the ministry to write the tomb list; he wrote a farewell letter to Mr. Qiu, recalling the old On the day he received the favor of studying in the Imperial College, and received the benefit of his support from China. I hope that he will spend his old age in his hometown; but Mr. Liu Ge is not familiar with him. He is a small official of the sixth grade at home, so he does not participate in the fun writing The letter is farewell.

Li Geluo received his letter and sighed: “Even though I joined the pavilion, the Cui family added a funeral. The peace is the grandson, and he will not be able to return the court for another 27 months.”

Soon after Cui Xie entered Beijing, his masters and apprentices were all in the Hanlin, and they met each other in the morning. They had never been apart for so long…

No matter how much he thought about his apprentice, he couldn’t go out to see people in Beijing, so he invited acquaintances to write a grave list for his apprentice in the Wenlin of the Imperial Academy, and when he turned around, he asked his son to send him to Qian’an.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhuangyuan took the initiative to take the errand and said to Elder Li, “Isnt Nephew Zheng going to this imperial examination? Why not ask him to go to Qianan at this time, I asked Shouren to send it there. Article, take a look at Hezhong by the way.”

The eldest son of Li Zhaoxian passed through the Cui family’s small black house for a year, and it was no longer a matter of spending a day in the examination room. Last year, Shun Shun was admitted as a talent. This year happens to be the year of the Autumn Examination. He has to take the exam. Next year, it will be Wang Shouren’s turn for the competition. In fact, both children should be at ease to review at home.

Li Dongyang said: “Zhao Xian has been to Qian’an. If you are familiar with the road, you can’t delay it. Bo An Mingchun is going to be the champion, so let him study with peace of mind.”

When Wang Shouren fell out of the rankings, when they were the elders who came to comfort him, he even deceived his children to write a “Lai Ke Zhuang Yuan Fu”. The Fu was written in a straightforward manner and full of talent, but when the champion’s words were released, it would not look good after all without taking the top three exams. The pressure on Wang Shouren of this department must also be particularly great, so don’t add trouble to him. An Anshengsheng will review it at home.

Wang Zhuangyuan smiled bitterly: “I don’t dare to expect what he will do in this science test. This child reads the horns of the horns. He used to have a grid of bamboo for seven days, but the grid failed. Later, somehow he saw Mr. Xiangshan again. Doesnt this deviate further from Neo-Confucianism? Which examiner selected him!”

Li Dongyang said in surprise: “Why did you fall into this crazy Zen again?”

Wang Hua waved his hand: “This kid has an idea since he was a child. Where can I control him? Anyway, he is not the kind of kid who can’t stand a blow. I simply indulge him by one more subject. After he fails, I understand what the right way is. All right.”

Li Dongyang looked at his distressed and helpless appearance, did not care about pitying his son, and pityed him first: “Then I will write a letter to Hexin, asking him to persuade Boan. This child is the best at teaching people, my family sign First, I asked him to adjust. Although he is in filial piety…”

Mr. Li also felt unbearable to teach students a dutiful son who had two responsibilities and his grandmothers three-seven years of filial piety. Mr. Li shook his head, and said in consultation: “Ill just mention it to him and ask him to persuade him. Ann. The two children have had a good relationship since childhood. Didnt He Zhong look at Zhong Boan, thinking that he can become a great man? He must not watch him go the wrong way.”

Wang Zhuangyuan deeply thanked Mr. Li Ge, and the two went home and wrote the tomb table and epitaph for Mrs. Song Cui. They all wrote this full-time in Hanlin, and whenever there was an accident in the court, they would ask them to write with their money. Therefore, the pens are all flying, and it doesn’t take much time to write them in a single stroke. The two texts are so clear and fluent that they can be included in one’s own collections and passed down to future generations.

All the written articles were given to Wang Zhuangyuan. Wang Hua wrapped the manuscript in oiled paper and white satin, wrapped it up, and gave it to his son who was studying Lu Xiangshan at home and could not read the imperial examination notes. “Hey.” There was a cry.

“Your brother Cui Shis family has a new funeral recently. Grandmother Mrs. Song passed away. He invited Mrs. Li and your father to write an inscription on the tomb of the old lady. Havent you been diligent in reading and writing recently? Since there is no business to do, then Run for me and Gong Xi Ya, and send these to you Brother Cui Shi.”

“it is good.”

Wang Shouren was reading “Bright Heart” and told Brother Lu Xiangshan that he didn’t even get out of the door, but when he heard something serious, he immediately went to pack his luggage and went to Qian’an to see people.

Seeing that he knows that human relations are the foundation, Wang Hua was a little satisfied, stroked his beard and said, “The Cui family is guarding the dual filial piety. You should stay there for a day or two before returning. Don’t bother and be indifferent.” After arriving there, he and Sincerely, I would like to mention him one sentence. If not, I will tell the child to come back earlier. If he is frustrated in the examination next year, he will have a long memory.

Wang Zhuangyuan still has confidence in his son’s measure and mind, and he is not afraid that he will be able to calm down his heart after spending too much time on the court, and wait for him to return from Qian’an with peace of mind.

This time it was not only the sage king, but Elder Li had sent his son out after all. He only said that he had gone to Qian’an once and knew the way so that it would be more convenient for him. The two young talents, Confucianism, have also known each other for many years, and they are not unfamiliar, so they hit the road with their companions. Li Zhaoxian had a bad foundation and had to take a car for a long journey. The two spent an extra day on the road. It was not until the afternoon of the fourth day that they rushed to the Cui family ancestral house outside Jiaxiang Tun.

At this time, the Cui family’s thirty-seventh hour had passed, and there were fewer people who came to mourn. The two younger ones called Cui Xie rushed to the back to rest, and he was the only one in front of the hall.

Wang and Li first stepped forward and burned incense to mourn. After the guest of honor bowed, they gave him the manuscripts of their fathers. Cui Xie opened it and read it on the spot. He was so moved that he burst into tears. He also shared the rewards for the two sons, and praised them: “My grandmother looks like I am right in front of my eyes. These two articles should be smashed. sound!”

The two gifted scholars took over the manuscript and wrote a detailed copy. Li Zhaoxian read his fathers poems and essays, looked at the erroneous inscription behind the epitaph, and exclaimed: “Sorrowful and magnificent, my father also wrote…”

He took another look at Wang Shouren, who was full of complex faces, and asked, “Brother Wang also has a lot of feelings? Can you let me take a look at the articles of your lord?”

Brother Wang… just feels that the words on the tomb table are full of words, just like those few Jinyiwei’s ways of winning with love, and Li Dongyang’s epitaph is beautiful and beautiful like the one written by “Mr. Shuixi” A few Jinyiwei.

Poor Li Zhaoxian still thinks that there are occasional ones in the comic strips that resemble his father’s handwriting, just because Xi Ya Gong has been dealing with literary management for many years, and the Confucian scholars all over the world want to learn his articles and write them slightly.

Wang Shouren couldn’t bear to wake him up, handed over the tomb table, took the epitaph, and lowered his head to read it silently.

The two of them were reading the article, and Choi Xie was reading the letter. Li Dongyang wrote in the letter the dangerous signs that Wang Shouren switched from Zhu Xue to Lu Xue, and asked him to help persuade the child, so that he could change his mind and study for a year, and then take the Jinshi test before speaking.

Wang Zhuangyuan is really painstaking.

But Lu Jiuyuan’s theory is full of subjective idealism, which is very similar to Wang Yangming’s view of “nothing outside the heart”. Maybe this is the origin of the sage’s enlightenment, how can he stop it?

Cui Xie put the letter away and saw that the two talented scholars had also exchanged and read the article, so he invited them to stay first and asked someone to find the craftsman to engrave the tablet with the article.

Li Zhaoxian came to visit Cui Xie specially for his father, so he stayed with peace of mind and helped their family’s funeral. Wang Shouren remembered his father’s instructions and did not dare to disturb them, so he would leave after staying for a day.

Cui Xie grabbed Wang Shouren and said directly: “Next year will be the year of the Great Competition. Lord Wang and his teacher Mr. Li are worried that you are obsessed with Yijian and delayed the study of Confucian classics. What are your thoughts on next spring test? Do you not care about the gains and losses, or are you willing to spend some time on the imperial examinations, and come back next year?”

Only then did Wang Shouren understand why his father looked at him so complicatedly when he was leaving, and he repeatedly emphasized that he should not disturb Cui Jiashouxiao.

It turned out that he had given up his old face and asked Cui Shixiong to mention himself in the letter.

Over the years, he has studied the “bright heart”, and only from those comics, he has studied his father’s love for the emperor, missing his hometown, filial piety to his parents… and his preference for a man to dress up as a woman… , The father paid more for his son.

How can he indulge himself in indulging in Xiangshan learning and worry his father?

Wang Shouren had an idea in his heart, and he bowed his hands and gave a deep ceremony: “Shouren understands the teachings of Cui Shixiong. Shouren will not let down the heart of his father and Li Gelao. After returning, he will study hard. The champion came back to report everyone!”

Do not!

and many more!

He hasn’t persuaded anything yet!

He didn’t drink chicken soup for the soul, why was Wang Shengren suddenly persuaded by him to change Lu to Zhu!

What about Xinxue?

Cui Xie was about to roar in his heart, and his face had to maintain the same demeanor as Taishan collapsed before, and said lightly: “In fact, Lu and Zhu Zhixue are all derived from Lianxi’s line, and they also contain the principles of heaven and human heart. Gongfu, if it werent for a good students examination, I wouldnt persuade you a word. Even if I persuaded you to take care of the Chunyu of this subject first, you still have to read one more sentence. I want to let go from when I want to let go.”

Lu Xue is inferior to Zhu’s orthodox school, and if he is replaced by someone else, he has to persuade him to come back and learn Hui’an, but Cui Xie supports him in learning whatever he wants. Wang Shouren wanted to regard him as a confidant, and said with shame and gratefulness: “I shouldn’t have asked Brother Shi to worry about me at this time… Brother Shi don’t worry, I have tried this subject with my heart, and I still want to study Lu Xue later. “

Cui Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

“In this way, I can write to my teacher and senior Wang. If the virtuous brother is not in a hurry to return to Beijing, he will study for a few months in my village. If I want to go back, I will not leave you deeply. Next year, my two younger brothers will be filial piety and will return to Beijing to live. I also expect my brothers to take care of them for me.”

He is a great-bearer grandson, and he has to keep his grandmother for 27 months, but Cui Heng, Cui and his brothers are grandchildren, and one year is enough. Although both of them had to miss this year’s Juren Examination, Cui Heng didn’t have a lot of character in the first place, and his brother was still young, so they could both afford it.

When the two children return to Beijing next year, I will ask Teacher Li to choose a good relationship with his brother. The brothers will divide it…Forget it, it’s not going to divide the family. With these two brothers, he has an excuse not to Where to get married. However, his brother and brother have also become a family, and his obligation to raise his younger brother has been exhausted. From now on, he can concentrate on making objects and careers without worrying about the Cui family.
