Chapter 506: Ambition
The selection of the academy is a major event, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, one as the chief of the mountain, and the other as the judge of the academy, came to the Phoenix Grand Theater early.
Today, the College will select the first batch of qualified candidates for admission here.
At three o'clock, sunlight poured into the hall through the attic windows of the theater, and the hall immediately became bright.
The students who came to refer to it began to walk into the examination room one after another, and in the midst of a buzzing voice, Wen Qihang walked from the backstage to the center of the stage and stood still.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Smell the sail and say loudly.
The students in the audience looked at the stage together, and the buzz disappeared.
Wen Qihang paused and continued: "When the number plate comes in, you must have received it, please find your corresponding position and sit down, and please keep quiet." ”
The Phoenix Grand Theater can accommodate more than 500 people, and the students who come to refer to it are only 100 people, and it is still more than enough to sit down in one place between them.
The confusion lasted a little while, and the students finally took their seats.
Wen Qihang glanced around, and said: "Now we will start distributing exam papers, and the exam time will be a stick of incense........"
Buzzing, surprise, all around.
"Quiet!" Smell Qihang yelled.
“........”
"I know you have a lot of questions, thinking that the exam time is a bit short, and the imperial court examination even takes a whole day. However, the test questions of our academy have long been made public.
This exam is the same two questions you have seen, and no changes will be made.
So, the answer, I'm sure you've thought about it a thousand times in your mind.
Now all you have to do is write down on a roll of paper the answers that you have thought about countless times over the past few days.
You may think that these two questions are very simple. It's so simple that you can write it at will, but here, I want to tell you that these two questions will be related to, and even will determine your life.
As the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
Question 1: What are you best at?
The former Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai once wrote a poem "Will Enter the Wine", in which he said: I am born to be useful.
There have never been wasted people in this world, only those who choose the wrong way.
All of you here are people who have already failed once in the scientific research field.
I know that the greatest wish of scholars is to be an official, serve the court, and glorify their ancestors.
You have come to apply for Tsinghua Academy today, hoping to get the teachings of the great Confucians of the world, hoping to shine in the scientific examination in the coming year and be the top student in high school.
However, I want to pour cold water on you. Since you didn't show your mark in this scientific expedition, your chances of being able to go to high school next year will still be slim........"
"You despise me so much!"
Someone in the audience was not angry, and directly stood up and reprimanded.
Wen Qihang said with a smile: "Of course, after ten years of cold windows, maybe some of you will go to high school, but this chance, to be honest, is really not high." This brother, this sentence, is always right? ”
“........”
Brother Ren in the world really wants to refute Wen Qihang's words, but he actually has some self-knowledge in his heart, even if he doesn't get the top prize, he hasn't even been in the country, which means that these people here are really average.
Wen Qihang raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "If you don't object to what I just said, it means that the reason why you failed the scientific expedition is that the path you chose is definitely not suitable for you!"
There are 360 lines in the world, and the lines are the champions.
Now Tsinghua College is recruiting students not only from the College of Liberal Arts, but also from various academies such as the School of Woodworking, the School of Culinary Cuisine, and the School of Medicine.
I hope that you will not be biased against these subjects and that you will choose carefully and carefully.
This brings us to the second question, what are your aspirations in the future?
Is being an official your only ambition in this life?
During the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and let the people of the world have a bumper harvest and avoid diseases.
Bian Que Hua Tuo, from the doctor to the saint, is admired by the world.
Lu Ban, a craftsman, is respected by the world as a public loser, and Confucius and Mencius are all called saints.
It can be seen that medicine, agriculture, and craftsmanship can also make you famous through the ages and leave a name in history.
When you are a young man, you need to think carefully and choose carefully for the future path of life.
Speaking of which, everyone, the exam begins! ”
The test papers began to be distributed, and the audience was quiet, some people disagreed and scoffed, some frowned and pondered, hesitated, and some suddenly became enlightened and their ambitions gradually became clear.
On the stage, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu frowned slightly. Seeing Wen Qihang coming over and sitting down, Wei Renpu looked at Wen Qihang and asked in a low voice, "Wen Jue, what does this mean?" ”
Wen Qihang smiled and said, "Duke Wei, these students, to be honest, what do you think of their qualifications?" ”
Wei Renpu pondered for a moment, and then said, "........ The posture of a man. ”
Wen Qihang nodded and said: "Yes, these students, no matter how hard they work, under the premise that the direction of the scientific examination remains the same, they want to pass poetry and strategy, I am afraid it will be even more difficult."
In this case, it is better to let them choose the direction of their lives again, Duke Wei has also been in the officialdom, and it should be clear that the imperial court not only needs people with literary talents, but also pragmatic officials.
This is actually a way forward. ”
Wei Renpu nodded and said, "Wen Jue is attentive. ”
Wen Qihang said with a smile: "Duke Wei has won the award." ”
Wang Pu on the side frowned and said, "Wenjue seems to have a prejudice against Confucianism? ”
Wen Qihang glanced at Wang Pu and said: "There, I have never had a prejudice against Confucianism, but only a prejudice against Confucianism. ”
“........ What's the difference? Wang Pu was stunned.
"There is nothing wrong with the doctrine, but once it becomes a family, it will inevitably become the word of the family, and it will spontaneously begin to suppress fellow believers and exclude dissidents. Buddhism and Taoism are all the same. But Buddhism, Taoism, then there is no problem. It's just learning, it doesn't involve interests, in fact, it's all good learning. ”
Wang Pu shook his head and said, "If Lord Wen says this, I am afraid that he will be criticized by the world." ”
"Hehe, it's just a family's words." Wen Qihang said disapprerovingly.
Such words, if they were placed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, would have to be drowned by the Confucian people who defended Taoism with spittle stars.
But at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there was not much of a problem, after all, it was still an era of domineering martial artists, and Confucianism had not yet developed.
In an era when the Son of Heaven is the strongest, the difference in doctrine will not suffer too much criticism.
After a stick of incense, the test paper will be collected, because the test questions are simple, and after the on-site marking is completed, the qualified person can be announced on the spot.
"Good at, poetry ........" is fucking good at, you can fail the scientific examination, and if you are not good at it, isn't it just a waste snack.
Wen Qihang picked up a test paper and saw the answer, he couldn't help but slander, the touching words just now, the feelings were all in vain.
"Prince, there is a talent here, for your Academy of Letters."
"Good at arithmetic, ........ arithmetic"
Wen Qihang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, well, this is okay.
"Gong Wei, this is a bit of a waste material, so it's the Gewu Academy that the kid is responsible for."
"Ambition, one term for the official, for the benefit of one party ........"
The benefit of fart, I'm afraid I'm thinking about the Qing Governor's Mansion in those three years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver! Wen Qihang pouted: "Prince, the kid has discovered a great talent and given it to your academy of letters." ”
"Ambition, hanging pot to help the world........" Wen Qihang couldn't help nodding, yes, there are ideals: "Duke Wei, this guy is a little unprofessional!" Let's give it to medical school! ”
“........”
Time passed quietly, and the students who stayed in the audience to wait for the news looked nervous, and they could almost hear a pin drop in the huge theater.
For them, this is a rare opportunity.
After all, it is rare to get the opportunity to be directly taught by the great Confucian Yan Wenting, the former prime minister Wang Pu and the former Shangshu Wei Renpu.
If you can become their disciple, your career path in the future is bound to be smoother.
There are not many test papers, only more than 90 copies, and the test questions are also simple, and the three people on the stage quickly finished reading them.
Wen Qihang packed up the test papers, got up and walked to the front of the stage, and said with a smile on his face: "There are a total of ninety-one students for reference this time, and two students have signed up, but they didn't come, I'm afraid it will become the biggest regret in their lives."
Without further ado, congratulations on your selection into Tsinghua Academy, and from today onwards, you will be students of Tsinghua Academy. ”
"Ah, it's all over!"
Someone in the audience exclaimed.
Wen Qihang confirmed: "Yes, you have all passed." As Ben Ju has just said, there are no wasted people in this world, and according to the aspirations you have chosen, you will enter the corresponding academy for three years of study.
After three years, according to your achievements, I will recommend you to the Imperial Court.
I hope you will work hard! ”
In these years, those who can read and write are already talents, and Wen Qihang is just classified according to the ambitions they fill in, and they have no intention of dismissing anyone from the beginning.
"Three days later, the academy will open, please come and report on time, let's all disperse!"
“........”
A group of students left in despair, and this exam was like a farce compared with the scientific examination of the imperial court, giving people a very unreliable feeling.
