Towards the end of the year, the atmosphere in the school is also different.

The Song Dynasty tribute is not certain, sometimes three years, sometimes two years, the reader has no idea in the bottom of his heart, he reads well, and suddenly an edict comes down, and the imperial court wants to pay tribute to the candidates and hurriedly go to the various state capitals to take the exam.

Today's official family started with a tribute every four years, and recently it is a tribute every two years.

Candidates failed in the palace examination at the end of spring, rushed back to their hometown to prepare for the second year's examination, and went to Beijing to go to the provincial examination in March.

In the past, after the autumn exam, they had to go to Bianjing to prepare for the exam, but in the past two years, the candidates have been tired and running on the road, such as the old Gongju in Fujian, northern Fujian, and southern Zhejiang, who plan to leave for Beijing after the New Year.

In the following year, the imperial court announced in September that the Yuan would be changed to Jiayou.

It is also the ninth era name of the official family.

According to the historian's method, the first September of this year is the third year of Zhihe, and March after the change of the Yuan is the first year of Jiayou, and the turn of the year is the second year of Jiayou.

For this vintage, Zhang Yue is no stranger.

Because this year's tribute is the Dragon and Tiger List. The words of the Dragon and Tiger List were in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty Zhenyuan entered the Shike in the eighth year, and there were talented Han Yu, Ouyang Zhan, Cui Qun, Wang Ya, Feng Su, Yu Chengxuan, etc., these talents are called the choice of the world, and they are called the Dragon and Tiger List.

However, this year's Dragon and Tiger list is much inferior to Jiayou's second year of Jinshike.

The Jinshi Department in the second year of Jiayou is known as the first list of the imperial examination! It does not refer to the Song Dynasty alone, but the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all together.

The so-called first list of the imperial examination is that the talents taken in the previous imperial examinations over the past thousand years are not as good as this list!

Now, in addition to Zhang Heng, there are several people in the Zhang clan who went north to take the exam with Lin Xi. Zhang Yue didn't know the specific ranking of this subject, except for the Su Shi brothers, and he didn't know who else was admitted. But I feel that Zhang Heng and Lin Xi are two little-known people...... It's probably going to be sad.

Yes, Zhang Yue looked at the family tree a while ago, Zhang Heng is a generation younger than himself, and it stands to reason that he is his own nephew. But he is already thirty years old, and he has no intention of telling himself about the score.

In the past few days, Zhang Yue can also experience the atmosphere before the big exam.

"The provincial exam is in March, and I have no chance, but May is the state exam, and the year after next is the cao exam, but there are still so many books I haven't read, and it seems that the future is bleak."

"Don't sit idle, time is running out. When the time comes, everything is bittersweet. ”

"Yes, seeing Ziping and them going to Beijing to take the exam immediately, how can my generation be stunned? I will definitely be the first in the next township test, and the bus will go north. ”

Several people were gossiping in front of Zhang Yue's case, while he was busy listening to the professor answering questions to Zhang Heng and Lin Xi. Zhang Yue only read the scriptures, and most of them couldn't understand most of their words, so he had to write them down first, and then confirm them when he learned them in the future.

At this time, one of them sighed: "I have no intention of learning, they are all the tricks of the current science and technology test, can you understand them?" ”

Several people also shook their heads, it seems that there are many people in the ethnology who are generally incomprehensible to Zhang Yue.

"Yes, what are you doing to wait with them, anyway, it's the end of the year, and we don't go to Beijing to catch the exam, why don't we wait for next spring to study? Let's throw the official picture! ”

"It's the election chart again." The crowd was ready to move.

"No, no. I don't have time to wait. ”

"If you want to go, you can come, not go. Let's go and roll it first. After saying that, the man picked up the dice and deliberately shook them in front of them.

Saying that, a few people glanced at the professors who were concentrating on Zhang Heng and Lin Xi in the hall to answer their questions, and then secretly picked up the bookbag and slipped away under their armpits.

The two of them, who couldn't speak, glanced at each other.

One said: "Anyway, there are still a few months of state tests, it's not bad, let's throw it first." ”

Another said: "Go ahead, I want to take another look, the Zhizu has not achieved fame after studying for three years, and the whole family is pointing at me." ”

"If you don't go, I'm not interested, Mo Dao is like this, I'll invite you to tea then."

"That's not good...... It's going to be ...... Do I have to take the state exam next year? ”

"If you lose, it's me."

When this man heard this, he said, "Then let's not be too late. Did you bring enough money? ”

The other party patted the bag and smiled: "How much? Not much? That's a lot! ”

Both smiled.

After the two finished speaking, they turned around and asked, "Xuelu, San Lang, let's go together?" ”

Zhang Cai glanced at Zhang Yue with some interest, but Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "I'm not going, you guys are also worried, Mr. is not good here." ”

The other laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of the children of the clan, what are you afraid of as an observer." ”

The person who wanted to invite smiled: "San Lang heard that you got a lot of money as a bookmaker?" Now it's worth three and a half dollars a page. ”

Zhang Yue smiled and thought to himself, wait until you know how good I am.

"Since you have saved a lot of money, you might as well try your luck. In case Bo is too much, isn't it good to go back and have a fat year? ”

"Yes, Bo, it's worth a month's worth of books you copied here. Isn't it possible that you are afraid of losing? ”

With such a superficial radical method, Zhang Yue said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

"It's really boring, Zhang Cai, are you going?"

Zhang Cai said: "If San Lang doesn't go, I won't go either." ”

"You two are on the same foot, and when Mr. asks about it, he will say that we are going to pay tribute."

"So many people come out together? Can you live in a thatched house? Before Zhang Cai finished speaking, these people left without listening or looking back.

Zhang Cai said slowly: "If Shen Shi is not here, Mr. will generally not be severely punished." But when it comes to reading, it doesn't depend on the gentleman to urge him. ”

Zhang Cai said that, but he was also planning to go. But Zhang Yue didn't go like this, and the bookcase that was supposed to be two people sitting together was obviously empty. What's more, as a scholar, I sometimes have to lead by example, so I said something beautiful.

At this moment, Zhang Heng and Lin Xi's several tribute students had already asked about the same question, and now it was the turn of the others to come forward and ask for advice.

The two walked down side by side, and the rest of the people followed behind them, Lin Xiyan said: "A few brothers, the provincial test may be bad today, I can be said to have no success now, I think of decades of hard work, and now I am going to be buried in it." What do you think is good about that? ”

Everyone was scolded in their hearts when they heard it, this guy is hypocritical again, he is really a slut.

Lin Xi said again: "That's it, that's it, I'll go to my hometown, why should I take my own humiliation when I get to Bianjing?" I hope that you will become famous one day! Fame and fame, far away, ask for it, it's better to go back! ”

Everyone said hurriedly.

"I'm humble again."

"Xie Yuanlang, you say so, don't I have to go to Bianjing?"

"Xie Yuanlang is going...... If you want to connect the three elements, how can you say that you are buried. ”

Everyone had no choice, one sentence on the left, and one sentence on the right to hold Lin Xi up. He wanted to come down and sit down on the ground again, so they had to lie on their stomachs.

Lin Xi smiled slightly, on weekdays, only Zhang Heng could refute himself, but today he looked at the professor without speaking. Lin Xi turned his head to look, but saw a student asking the professor for advice.

The student, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, heard that he was also here to listen as if he were himself. Lin Xi didn't pay much attention, but heard Zhang Heng turn his head and say, "Zizhong, the chessboard arrow target drawn yesterday is this person's work." ”

"Oh?" Lin Xi looked at Zhang Yue carefully.

At this time, Zhang Yue was holding the doubts about his reading scriptures yesterday and preparing to ask the professor for advice. Zhang Yue was always the last to come forward to inquire, just for fear of delaying others' efforts.

Generally, the professors who don't understand themselves have finished answering, that is, they don't have the patience to listen to them. If you rush ahead of the curve, you are suspected of delaying other people's efforts.

Even though everyone doesn't know how to say it on the surface, the rules and regulations are still known. Zhang Yue waited until others finished asking before stepping forward.

Now Zhang Yue stood aside silently, and waited for the last person to leave before he stepped forward and said: "Mr. Qiyu, this is the difficulty of Houxue yesterday, write it on the paper and ask Mr. to look at it." ”

Many of Zhang Yue's questions are written on paper, which saves a lot of professors' time compared to others asking questions.

The professor raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yue, and then looked at the halfway people in the school. He knew where these people had gone, but he didn't ask much about them on weekdays.

Reading is still his own business in the final analysis, he will not chase after them and let them learn, and for a reader like Zhang Yue who is willing to cherish the opportunity, he is very willing to teach more.

The professor skimmed through Zhang Yue's question, frowned suddenly, and then slapped the paper on the desk with his palm.

Bang!

Zhang Yue was taken aback when he heard this, and bowed with his fists clenched.

The rest of the students in the school hall all came over, and there were a few who were vaguely gloating.

The professor shouted: "Shaft, for the sake of the scriptures, you should follow its roots, how can you be as suspicious as you are about this and that, and at the end of the calculation, your knowledge is into the crooked and evil way, do you know?" ”

Zhang Yue said: "What Mr. taught is that he went astray without noticing after learning. ”

The professor said: "The most urgent task of your knowledge is not to seek more knowledge, but to return to the scriptures and meanings, which is more important than exegesis. Referring to new ideas for no reason is in vain in the study of chapters and sentences, and your speculation is even worse than the study of chapters and sentences. ”

Speaking of this, the professor crumpled the paper on which Zhang Yue asked the question and threw it on the ground.

"Please sir, please calm your anger." Zhang Yue picked up the paper from the ground and walked back to the table silently. Seeing this, Zhang Cai said in a low voice: "Don't go to the bottom of your heart." Mr. scolds you because you are a manufacturable material, and he will not scold you if you change others. ”

Zhang Yue flattened the paper again and said, "I can save it." Pen and ink lend me a hand. ”

Zhang Cai nodded.

Zhang Heng and Lin Xi saw this scene on the side, looked at each other and stepped forward with a smile. Zhang Heng said to the professor: "San Lang didn't know what to ask, Mr. Tired was angry. ”

The professor said: "It's not in this sentence 'filial piety is only filial piety, friends are brothers, and charity is in government'. ”

Zhang Heng, Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, no wonder Zhang Yue was scolded.

The original source is' or Confucius said: 'Zi Xi is not a politician?' Zi said: "The book cloud: "Filial piety is only filial piety, friends are brothers, and there is government." ”’

Anyone who has read the Analects knows that this sentence is from the article on Zhengzheng, and Confucius quoted the scriptures when answering the questions of his disciples.

But which passage in the book is quoted? Most people don't care.

But after Zhang Yue read the scriptures, he saw that "Jun Chen" was contained.

The original text is 'Jun Chen Ruo said: "Jun Chen, Wei Er Ling Virtue and filial piety." But filial piety is a brother, and there is a government. Ordered the eastern suburbs of Ru Yinzi. Respectfully! ”’

This sentence is similar to the source.

So here's the problem.

Zhang Yue asked the professor for advice on these two sentences, which are inconsistent, who is wrong in the Analects of Shangshu?

So the professor was furious, and asked you if you don't learn it, and if you don't teach it, you don't want to learn it, but he is thinking about whether the Analects or the Shangshu Liangjing version is correct.

If the Analects are correct, then the Book is wrong, and if the Book is wrong, then the Analects are right. What is a scripture? Even a word can't be changed, every sentence is a golden rule, the emperor's holy decree is wrong, and the scripture will not be wrong. Zhang Yue's move is not to respect the scriptures but to doubt the scriptures, which is a great rebellion in the eyes of the reader.

The people who learned the truth laughed and left, Zhang Heng also smiled, and said to Lin Xi: "What does the middle brother think?" ”

Lin Xi thought a little: "Jun Chen's article is from the ancient text of Shangshu is the eleventh sage Sun Kong'an's national book, and then it was lost in Yongjia's funeral. ”

"Yes, what did you think of this son before?"

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "If you don't learn, you have skills. ”

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Yes." ”

"Oh? What does this mean? ”

Lin Xi said: "If you don't learn it, what if you learn it?" ”

Hearing Lin Xi say this, everyone was in an uproar.

Zhang Heng was also a little skeptical.
