Although they are in the same Beijing, the place where Dong Qichang lives is far from Zhang's mansion, Su Baiyi roughly estimates that there should be at least a distance of about three kilometers.

Three kilometers of road was not much, but the traffic basically relied on walking, either people walked or horses walked in the Ming Dynasty, from Zhangfu to Dongfu, it took almost an hour.

So when the two of them arrived at Dong's mansion, they were already at nine o'clock.

Dong Qichang is the secretary of the Ming Dynasty Rites Department, and he is also the most noble official in the six departments.

But this product is not only the book of the Ming Rite Department, but also a super big landlord. Because the statement was too big, it made his enemies extremely angry and had no way to take him as a ministerial-level high-ranking official, so he spread rumors in his hometown, saying that "if you want to be strong, kill Dong Qichang first" made a fuss, and later the low-level intellectuals in Songjiang, Shanghai, and Qingpu spontaneously organized, burned Dong Qichang's hometown, smashed his house, and almost buried Dong Daren alive, deducing a song of the legend of "the people copying Dong Eun", so that the truth and falsehood are confusing. More than 300 years later, people still can't tell what the truth is.

This also shows the profound heritage of the Dong family!

Therefore, in addition to being talented, Dong Qichang is also very wealthy. Needless to say, some eyebrows can be seen from the shape of the Dong family's courtyard and the inside.

First of all, the courtyard of Lao Dong's house is very large, very large. According to the standards of later generations, this root of your mother cannot be called a yard, it is simply a garden.

Secondly, since it is a garden, pavilions and pavilions are naturally indispensable, these things can be said to have everything in the Dong family, and even Su Baiyi can see a lot of evergreen tree species in winter.

These things are generally obtained from outside at a great cost, and they are not allowed to be found in Jingshi.

After the Dong Mansion passed through countless moon cave doors, he finally came to a relatively large inner courtyard, and when he entered it, he was Dong Qichang's study, and I didn't know if Dong Qichang and Yuan Shu had made an appointment, anyway, when Su Baiyi followed him to the door of the study, Dong Qichang was standing straight behind the desk, holding a brush in his thin hand, and was painting.

"Dong Shibo!"

Yuan Shu bowed at the door.

Dong Qichang didn't need to look up, so he hummed, and then replied very calmly: "Bo Ying is here, come in, it's cold outside!" ”

Then, the two entered the study.

Su Baiyi was shocked by the area of Master Dong's study again.

Where is this study, this is simply a super awesome office, the walls around it are full of paintings and calligraphy, a large desk, and there are cabinets in the back.

The cabinet is also full of scrolls of things, I don't know if it's a painted painting or a written copybook?

Dong Qichang stopped writing and glanced at Su Baiyi lightly.

Su Baiyi arched his hand: "After returning to the end of the Mansion, I entered Su Baiyi and saw Master Dong!" ”

"Well...... Dong Qichang's shelf was still a little big, and he just nodded to Su Baiyi, but his face was very kind, and he said calmly: "The old man of Guide Mansion has not been there before, and it is indeed a place of outstanding people." ”

"You......" After speaking, he tapped Su Baiyi with his hand, like an ordinary elder teaching a junior: "Today is famous in the court!" ”

"Huh?" Su Baiyi was stunned.

Dong Qichang slowly put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, shook his sleeves and took a deep breath, and said: "Although you are not in the court, but Your Majesty's Suzi has pushed you to the cusp, the old man is not interested in your set, it is estimated that there are many people in the court who have the same opinion as the old man, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to stand on the temple in the future!" ”

It was also the first time he saw Su Baiyi, and he felt no different from an ordinary scholar, that is, a down-and-out literati with no fame. But he didn't have a bad feeling for Su Baiyi, after all, this guy who looked very plain was really famous enough, he made soap, glass, made a dish, and planted cucumbers in winter, and the most important thing is that he magically completed the disembowelment and took the child, and saved his good friend Yuan Keli.

"Master Xie Dong's teachings!" Su Baiyi finished the etiquette of the line very officially, and then took out the two pieces of high-grade jade that Yuan Shu had prepared before and put them on the table.

Dong Qichang was polite, and his eyes didn't look at the jade much.

"Two virtuous nephews, how about taking a look at the old man's painting first?" When it came to his masterpiece, Dong Qichang's aura changed suddenly, and the temperature of the entire room rose instantly.

Su Baiyi looked closely, and saw that it was a horizontal axis, and the paper was spread on the table, which could be more than a meter long, but it was only the width of a palm, giving people a very strange feeling. The picture is densely packed with mountains and rocks, and there is a weak willow in the toughness of the outline, and there is a sleek above the cold, distant mountains, near trees, withered grass, ravines and ravines, reeds and snow, pedestrians walking on the mountain road, movements and expressions are vivid.

A slightly gloomy picture scroll in the vast expanse was displayed in front of him, and Su Baiyi was like seeing a thousand mountains in the heavy snow.

The sense of substitution is not ordinarily strong!

A master is a master, no wonder it is clear that the works of Zhu Qi and Shi Tao are all influenced by Dong Qichang.

Looking at the strange table in front of him, Su Baiyi felt that it was not strange for a person like Dong Qichang who often paints to have such a big table.

"Good painting!"

He didn't understand, and he didn't dare to comment on the class in front of the master, so he could only use the word "good painting" to describe his inner feelings. Yuan Shu next to him almost looked straight, and his eyes were about to fall off when he was lying on the table.

"Shibo, why haven't you finished painting?" Yuan Shu looked at it blankly and asked blankly.

Dong Qichang sighed: "Yes, when I saw the snow in Guanshan in my early years, I had the intention of painting the snow in the world, but as the years go by, the breath is getting shorter and shorter, wait for this last corner, and then paint when the heart is ready!" ”

……

In the Anding Gate of the North of the Beijing Division, there is a cold courtyard, the door of the courtyard is hung with red paint as the bottom of the three gold characters written on the "Guozijian", the grass in the door is barren, the cold wind blows dry and scorched yellow, and it is covered with a layer of snow, basically there is not much difference from a dilapidated temple.

Only the towering ancient trees in the courtyard, the tall stone monuments, the countless inscriptions along the fence and the wide courtyard itself still tell the past glory of this place.

Guozijian, at the beginning of the establishment of Nanjing, at the beginning of the founding of the country did not have a strict method of imperial examinations, Hongwu Emperor established the Guozijian, which had nearly 10,000 students at the peak.

These students come from all over the motherland, and they are all highly qualified students from various provinces. Then, because of the lack of magistrates, Guozijian became the original god-level cradle of Ming officials.

Later, the Yongle Emperor succeeded in Jingnan and divided the Guozijian into two, one in the south and one in the north, reaching the peak of Guozijian in Chinese history, which not only had Chinese students, but also many foreign students.

The four-year system, after graduation, most of them can be mixed as officials.

But this kind of good life did not last long, and after the full-scale imperial examination began, the Guozijian declined. After Emperor Zhengde, there were basically three kinds of people in it.

The first is the regular prison, this kind of person "Nasu Nama enters the prison to study", to put it bluntly, you can go in if you give money!

The second is the shadow eunuch, as the name suggests, those who have become big officials in the imperial court, and their sons or grandsons are not able to participate in the scientific examination, forget it, go to the country to study.

Third, it is called lifting the prison, and those who did not pass the examination when they came to Beijing to participate in the final round of the scientific examination can also stay in the country to study and strive to fight again in the next year.

These three kinds of people have a common characteristic: unwillingness.

Those who have the money to come to the country will definitely be looked down upon; The young master who is an official in the family who comes to the country to supervise the various salaries is also a second-class goods in the family, as for the first child, hehe, the ungraced palace maid, the first to raise people's hearts, is the most unsatisfactory of the four unsatisfactory in life.

People who are unhappy look at the spring breeze are particularly unpleasant, and when they gather together to discuss things, if there are people next to them who fan the flames like this, it will be terrible.

For example, now, in the dilapidated Guozi Prison, there are about 100 students sitting neatly in the school, but not for studying, but for the whole collective to hate one person: Su Baiyi!

"It's just a country man, and I don't know how to bewitch Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually called him Suzi!" A tall man stood in front of the lecture hall and said indignantly, "Who is he?" It's just a child in the fourth place, and he doesn't even have fame, why, why is he? His Majesty called him Suzi, and he didn't even refuse! ”

All of you here, although not all of you are lifters, but you all enjoy the treatment of lifters.

To put it bluntly, whether it is a person who donates money or a shadow prison, people can directly participate in the examination, which is equivalent to lifting people, even if they do not participate in the examination, it is also appropriate to go out to make up for a county after hanging in the ministry for a long time.

"You can't teach a child!" An old man with white hair stood up from his seat: "How can Su Baiyi be virtuous?" I've heard that he's still a disciple of Momen, what is Momen? He has always been my Confucian rival. Mencius once said: The world is full of learning, not Confucianism. KitKat lewd skills, if your majesty reuses, my generation is all fish and meat! ”

"His ancestor Mo Zhai is barely a son, how can he be in Su Baiyi, and he even looks down on the sages? The old man also wants to see and understand today, what is his ability as a remnant of Momen! ”

"Bewitching Your Majesty, the sin is unforgivable!"

"Humph!" Another middle-aged man said: "Lord Wen has a dispute with His Majesty over this matter, and he has been dismissed by His Majesty this morning, and the first assistant is vacant, and it is rumored that Su Baiyi will enter the cabinet and assist the government." ”

"Hey...... No way! The other person waved his hand: "Brother Guo is serious, Su Baiyi wants to be a cabinet minister, and he also wants six ministries and six departments to give the imperial history of the matter and the imperial historians to push, no matter how much Your Majesty trusts him Su Baiyi, the court push will not be able to pass this level." I think this time the first assistant may fall on Xu Gelao. ”

"Let's leave these things alone." Guo Min stood up and said: "Let's talk about Su Baiyi first, the younger brother suggested that the scholars of the whole Beijing division should be united to force this person out of the Beijing division, otherwise I will be uneasy." ”
