Chapter 58: Preparing for the Imperial Examination

Xie Zhi chatted with Xie Qian for less than half an hour, and the people in the family had already gotten up one after another.

Both father and son are about to enter the palace.

Xie Qian finally advised: "If you have the mind of the imperial examination, then you can work hard, Wang Shaozhan is rich and rich, and ask him for advice in the East Palace, you are willing to work hard, and the old man will also pull down this old face, talk to Your Majesty, and let you directly participate in the township examination in the coming year as a companion." ”

Those who participate in the township examination must be talented.

Now Xie Zhi is not even a child, if you want to participate in the township test, it is really not so logical, you have to go through the back door!

Xie Qian agreed, Xie Zhi was overjoyed, and replied: "Thank you, Dad!" ”

I don't know what Xie Qian thought in his heart, there was no superfluous expression on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "The old man has done everything for you, and it's up to you whether you can win the lift!" ”

That's enough.

Xie Zhi didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to get the champion with his ingenuity.

"Dad, just look at it, my son has designated me to come back with a champion!"

Xie Qian got up and left, disdainfully dropping a sentence. said: "The old man doesn't count on it. ”

Can you not hit people like this, can't you cheer him up?

When Xie Zhi returned to his small courtyard, He Liang and Xiangyue had already gotten up.

"Did you call Your Highness?" Xie Zhi was the first to ask.

He Liang replied: "It's shouted, the villain shouted." ”

Xiangyue continued: "Young Master, the washing water is ready!" ”

Xie Zhi pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard and said, "Just put it here, go and serve His Highness to wash, don't eat." ”

While he was talking, Zhu Houzhao walked out in a daze and said, "Xie Wu, you are all up, bring the washing water from the palace, and the palace is also washing here." ”

After Zhu Houzhao approached, Xie Zhi asked with a smile: "Your Highness slept well!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was still a little confused, and replied listlessly: "Not bad! ”

With the help of Xiangyue, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao regained their former vigor after a few sticks of incense. 、

The two walked together in the direction of the East Palace.

When he arrived at the East Palace, Liu Jin was the first to greet him and asked, "Your Highness, where have you been, the slave maid is worried about death!" ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at it, and said angrily: "Do you still need to discuss with you where to go in this palace?" By the way, why didn't you bring the waist card of this palace to this palace, do you know that this palace almost died yesterday. ”

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then changed his words to his lips: "The slave should die, the slave forgot it!" ”

Liu Jin's series of performances may have given Zhu Houzhao a black cauldron, right?

Zhu Houzhao was really shameless, he didn't want to take it, but blamed others a lot.

"Dog, what can you do? Keep it in mind next time! ”

Liu Jin didn't care, and then nodded and replied: "Yes, yes, the slave must remember!" ”

Not long after Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao sat down in their seats, Wang Dehui arrived.

After saluting each other, Wang Dehui didn't even catch his breath and began to teach.

What we speak today is still the Analects.

Since Xie Zhi entered the East Palace, the content of Wang Dehui's lectures was either Analects or Mencius.

After listening to Xie Zhi's words, Zhu Houzhao's enthusiasm for listening to the class was obviously much higher, but he was not as listless as before.

At the end of the day's teaching, Wang Dehui said again: "Xie Zhi, today the old man met Xie Ge Lao, and I heard him say, do you have plans for the imperial examination?" ”

He's a dad who cares about his affairs! told Wang Dehui about this so quickly.

Xie Zhi replied truthfully: "Yes, the student has this plan, the student has delayed too much time, thinking about the exam first, if he fails, the student can also know his shortcomings, and he can make up for it quickly." ”

The expression on Wang Dehui's face was very pleased, and he replied: "It's not bad that you think so, the purpose of the old man giving you the book is that you can participate in the imperial examination, seeing that your enthusiasm is not very high, and the old man did not supervise more, thinking that it is also beneficial for you to do more time to consolidate, you now have such an idea, then the old man will stay for half an hour every day after the end of the lecture and teach you the subset of scriptures and history." ”

Wang Dehui is a champion, and it is a great thing to be able to get his own make-up class.

Xie Zhi happily agreed, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Wang Dehui didn't have too much expression on his face, and replied: "Your Highness has nothing to do, you might as well listen to it, it's always beneficial." ”

Zhu Houzhao was annoyed with the classes he taught on time, and he added another half an hour, and his face was even more sad.

When Zhu Houzhao was about to speak, Xie Zhi took the first step and said, "Your Highness... The grass people's words..."

It was precisely because Zhu Houzhao didn't want to listen to it that Xie Zhi had to let him stay.

Xie Zhi is very resentful, who let Zhu Houzhao save his mind to let him take the blame?

After half a day, Zhu Houzhao finally said reluctantly: "Yes, this palace just listens." ”

Wang Dehui was also not ambiguous, and directly counseled Xie Zhi for half an hour with the strategies of the imperial examination that day.

"You're not bad at it, but you still need more practice."

Needless to say than Wang Dehui said, Xie Zhi also knew very well that his words were too unsatisfactory, and replied: "The student understands." ”

After watching Wang Dehui leave, Zhu Houzhao asked, "You want the imperial examination?" ”

Xie Zhi replied truthfully: "The grass people have such plans. ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little dissatisfied, and asked, "Isn't it good to be a companion of the palace?" Why do you want the imperial examination, if you go to the imperial examination, then you will definitely not be able to be a companion of the palace anymore? ”

Didn't Zhu Houzhao clamor for not letting him be a companion a few days ago, but now he is reluctant?

Xie Zhi also has ideals, he doesn't want to just be a little companion without any grade.

"Your Highness, in the future, even if the grass people are promoted, they can continue to stay in the East Palace to seek an official position!"

The position of an official and a half in the Zhan Mansion can be regarded as a glory, and when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, it will definitely be reused.

However, since Xie Zhi had a goal, his goal was not limited to this.

Every day after that, Wang Dehui would make up for Xie Zhi for half an hour after teaching Zhu Houzhao.

Anyway, as long as Zhu Houzhao's normal class is not delayed, Emperor Hongzhi will not say anything more.

For half a month, it has been like this.

Xie Zhiken worked hard, and the progress was great.

In half a month, when Wang Dehui was making up for Xie Zhi, his smile became more and more and bigger, and he once bluntly said that Xie Zhi was one of the best candidates.

Xie Zhi was originally going for the champion, and he didn't have too much emotion for Wang Dehui's praise.

This is replaced by his humility.

For half a month, although Xie Zhi has never returned home, Wang Dehui's situation in the East Palace has almost reached Xie Qian's ears word for word.

Xie Zhi was taught by Wang Dehui, if Xie Zhi can win the three yuan, then it can be regarded as Wang Dehui's glory, right?
