Chapter 12: The Calamity Exam
As soon as Shen Chongming came in, the other three people closed their mouths in unison and turned away one after another. Preconceived, Song Qingyang spared no effort to slander, which had already made Shen Chongming's image in the hearts of the other two people a mess, and dull, profitable, and uneducated were his basic labels.
Sensing that something was wrong, Shen Chongming smiled disdainfully, cleaned up the bed and turned off the lights to sleep.
The morning bell rang, and the originally quiet Guozijian compound instantly became lively, and the inmates walked towards the classroom with textbooks in their arms.
"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. ......""The predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, the recklessness is the Tao, and the cultivation of the Tao is the teaching." Those who are also in the Tao must not be separated from it; can be separated, not the way. "The morning reading was a bit chaotic, and the inmates went their own way, shaking their heads and reading aloud, making the whole classroom look like a vegetable market.
Shen Chongming, who had just arrived, thought that the opening ceremony was going to be held, so he slipped into the classroom empty-handed, and then saw the others reading a book in their hands, and couldn't help scratching their heads, sitting here motionless, it was really a bit eye-catching.
Just thinking about rushing back to the dormitory to get the book, I saw the tall man walking in, and I couldn't help but be shocked, broken, if he found out, I was afraid that it would leave a bad impression.
He closed his eyes and began to recite the three-character scripture in a low voice, and among the ancient books he was involved in, he could recite this. "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, and sex is similar,......"
The mouth opened a lot, but the voice was mixed with the louder and louder recitations of others, but it was inaudible, and the tall adults who entered the classroom just stood in front and watched quietly, seeing that the prisoners were working so hard, they nodded with satisfaction, and found that Shen Chongming was different from others who were reading with books, but reciting, smiling slightly, and glanced at him approvingly, calling Shen Chongming, who had been secretly observing him, tremble.
Lord Gao left satisfied, and before Shen Chongming could breathe a sigh of relief, Song Qingyang, who was sitting at a table in front of him, laughed out loud.
The unbridled laughter caused everyone to look sideways, and they looked at Song Qingyang who was leaning forward and backwards in surprise.
Such a strange gaze made Song Qingyang realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped laughing and got up to explain: "Brothers, this guy is actually reading the "Three Character Classic"! Wow-ha-ha. As soon as he said that, he lay there again and laughed.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the short silence immediately turned into laughter, and the eyes that looked at Shen Chongming were full of disdain. You must know that the "Three Character Classic" has always been called a children's enlightenment book, and most of the prisoners here are famous talents in their hometowns, and such enlightenment books have been thoroughly learned as early as children, and they have turned to more obscure books. But I didn't expect that there were still people studying the "Three Character Classic" in this country prison today, how could I not despise him.
Shen Chongming could naturally see such a look, and he was also annoyed in his heart, he was originally pretending to be a wine lord, but he didn't expect Song Qingyang, a bastard, to be like this, it was really hateful!
Glaring at him fiercely, Shen Chongming stood up with a sneer, glanced at everyone and said disdainfully: "What's wrong with the "Three Character Classic", although it is an enlightenment reading, it talks about the great truth of life. I must recite it every morning so that I don't know if I have done something wrong. ”、
Shen Chongming's words were sonorous and powerful, and the prisoners were stunned, and no one was speechless for a while. At this moment, there was a coughing sound at the door, and everyone looked at it, but they didn't know when Master Gao came back with a few professors, and it was very likely that the laughter just now brought him in.
Seeing Lord Gao appear, Song Qingyang couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart. This Gao Gong is the master of Yu Wangye, full of knowledge, few people in the world can stand out from him, Shen Chongming, this stupid person, relied on his sharp teeth to defend himself, and praised a mere enlightenment book to the sky, see how Gao Gong cleaned him up! Song Qingyang patronized the fantasies about Shen Chongming's tragic ending, but he didn't notice the faint smile on Gao Gong's face
Shen Chongming was also apprehensive in his heart, the reason why he fought back just now was to find that Gao Gong was going and returning, otherwise there was no need to compete with these nerds here, and wanted Song Qingyang to suffer some hardships, and some other ways were to take out a random one to relieve his anger than a victory in language!
"See Lord Sake." Now, unlike Gao Gong, who can pretend to concentrate on reading just now and ignore the high arch who came to inspect, it is also a violation of the prison rules to make trouble during the morning reading.
Gao Gong didn't pay attention to everyone, walked straight to Shen Chongming and said with a smile: "Hehe, introspection every day, not bad, not bad." ”
Shen Chongming breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally right. The others were dumbfounded, they had heard that Gao Daren loved talents, how could he be so fond of a guy who recited the Three Character Sutra today.
Seeing everyone's puzzlement, Gao Gong said loudly: "The Guozijian has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, aiming to select available talents for the imperial court. But as an official, not only need to be talented, but also need to have both ability and political integrity, only in this way can you serve the court, Deze Cangsheng, you can understand? ”
Regardless of whether they understand it or not, all the prisoners bowed down and explained that this is the teaching of the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, and if you don't agree, the future will be bleak.
Seeing everyone like this, Gao Gong nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Shen Chongming again, and then turned around and walked out with all the professors who looked at Shen Chongming with a smile on their faces.
After this incident, Shen Chongming immediately became the man of the year in Guozijian, but it was a negative teaching material, almost to the point that everyone hated it, and a guy who memorized the Three Character Sutra was appreciated by the master of the sacrificial wine, which is really unreasonable!
The reason why this is so, the reason is simple, Gao Gong has just performed the post of sacrificial wine, everyone in the country wants to put this big tree on the plate to seek a good future for themselves, you must know that there is no suspense about King Yu's succession, as his mentor Gao Gong has a bright future, if anyone can get the favor of Gao Gong, Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner!
Unexpectedly, Shen Chongming took the lead in front of everyone, how could he make people feel fair under envy, jealousy and hatred, and immediately turn the spearhead to unify against the enemy!
Shen Chongming also knew that the gun shot the first bird, and he deduced his current situation through the eyes of the other three people in the dormitory, and he didn't want to do this, if it wasn't for Song Qingyang pushing people too much, he wouldn't be idle to curry favor with Gao Gong and cause this trouble.
But the matter has come to this, and I can only keep a low profile in order to protect myself. Sighing, Shen Chongming, who was lying on the bed and had nothing to do, looked through the prison rules. This thing is roughly the same as the school rules of later generations, but there are many fewer clauses. However, the punishment after violating the prison rules was much more severe, and nine times out of ten they were expelled from the national prison, and it seemed that he had to be cautious so as not to waste the 10,000 taels of silver.
Looking further back, there are some things that need to be paid attention to in daily life, such as the monthly rations allocated by the imperial court, and the examination matters. Seeing the exam, Shen Chongming's face suddenly became difficult to look at.
"In March, June, and September, there are regular quarterly examinations once a month, and the grades of each subject are more than two inferior, and if you accumulate three times, you will be expelled from the national prison! The exam is taken once a year in the twentieth year of the lunar month, and if there are more than two inferior subjects in the coursework, they will be directly expelled from the country! ”
After reading it in a low voice, Shen Chongming only felt that he was cautious, all the coursework added up to ten subjects, he just looked through it, except for the Four Books and Five Classics, the rest are some celebrity articles, and the last one even guesses how much he understands, but the obscure things like the Four Books and Five Classics feel a headache when he looks at it, not to mention learning to understand, I am afraid that he will have to take the duck egg test, and he will not have to accumulate it at that time, and he will be expelled directly!
A burst of distress hit his heart, Shen Chongming only felt weak, 10,000 taels of silver, it was enough for his father and mother to sell the ancestral family business, is it really a waste?
Shen Chongming was distressed, but Song Qingyang on the side was happy in his heart. He was also looking at the prison rules, and he also saw the quarterly and annual exams, and even he felt a little embarrassed by such a strict exam, not to mention Shen Chongming, who was inferior to the door in the school. With a smug smile, Song Qingyang turned his head and quietly glanced at Shen Chongming, looking at his bitter melon-like face, he only felt a burst of happiness in his heart, what kind of ability and political integrity, bullshit!
…… Hit the new book list in the early hours of tomorrow morning, so Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I hope that the brothers will support them and bow and thank the first......
