Compared with Xie Hong's inconsequential, his opponent, the Hanlin Academy, is now in a raging mood.

Indignation is inevitable. What is Xiucai? In the Hanlin Academy, it is said that those who are often sprinkled and swept are more knowledgeable than Xiucai, and they are provoked by Xie Hong, so how can all the great talents be calm?

Some people are giving impassioned speeches, denouncing Xie Hong's various culpabilities on the one hand, and motivating the morale of his colleagues on the other; More people were thinking nervously, for fear that some negligence would make Xie Hong take advantage of the loophole.

The future ministers were no ordinary nerds, and their anger quickly turned into strength and careful preparation.

First of all, it occurred to someone that Xie Hong might use some crooked methods, such as technical problems, to challenge the Hanlin. But how can this kind of ghost trick be hidden from the great talents of Hanlin?

Therefore, after responding to the challenge, the Hanlin people also quickly put forward corresponding requirements, that is, not only Xie Hong's side should ask questions, but also the Hanlin side should also come up with questions, and the final victory or defeat will be determined by the total number of answers.

That is to say, the two sides give each other questions, no limit to the subject, and then the one who answers more questions wins, from the original assessment of knowledge, into a knowledge competition, which is the result of mutual compromise between the two sides.

Of course, Xie Hong would not let the other party limit the subject matter, otherwise he might not be able to ask any of the topics in his heart; Hanlin is not a nerd, of course, they must also be guarded against, lest Xie Hong ask a bunch of technical questions, then everyone will naturally not be able to answer.

Nowadays, this kind of form, although it is not completely satisfactory, but the Hanlin people feel that they have a good chance of winning, thinking that Xie Hong, a man who does not learn and does not know how to do it, how can he know the breadth and profundity of the Confucian classics; And how many doorways can the path of Qiyin's skills be extended?

Repeated questions can no longer be asked, and the talents are extremely thoughtful, and this limitation is added. Therefore, not only the Hanlin Academy itself, but also everyone in the capital who has some insight feels that the Hanlin Academy has won.

The reason why the trail is a trail is because there is not enough truth in it, how can it be mentioned on a par with the sage avenue? Even if the Hanlin people were stumped for a while, how could Xie Hong's side answer the Hanlin people's questions? When he runs out of means, it's time for the talents to win.

Although the victory was in hand, none of the Hanlin people slackened, and that night, the lights inside and outside the Hanlin Courtyard were bright, and almost everyone was busy.

Some people are reading the classics, and they have the momentum when they entered Beijing to take the exam; Some people are making a fuss, a text is considered and considered, deleted and deleted, so as to close the seams tightly, in order to be complete, in short, we must make Xie Hong disgraced and lose face.

The scholars of the Hanlin Academy have thought carefully enough, but there are people who think more carefully than them, the advocate of the Hanlin petition is Zhang Yuanzhen, and the actual planner is Yang Tinghe of the Zhan Mansion.

Yang Tinghe has been smart since he was a child, studied hard, and was promoted to the township at the age of twelve, which can be described as a young hero. But then, his path was not so smooth.

He was a jinshi in the fourteenth year of Chenghua, but the palace test was only listed in the third class, so the gold content of the fame he got was much lower, and he only ended up with a fellow jinshi. After that, his career became a bit bumpy, and it was not until the second year of Hongzhi, that is, eleven years after his Zhongjinshi, that he got a position in the Hanlin Academy.

Poor test results do not mean poor ability, and this principle is quite appropriate when applied to Yang Tinghe. He was not depressed because of the temporary disadvantage, on the contrary, he has been actively working hard to fight for the opportunity, and after Zhengde enlightenment, he successfully grasped the opportunity to accompany the prince to study.

Yang Tinghe's surname is similar to Li Dongyang, he rarely speaks sharply in person, he likes to make a fuss in his stomach, and his methods can be called to overcome rigidity with softness. When Zhengde was the crown prince, he had a lot of attendants, and the one who left the deepest impression on him and the most harmonious relationship was Yang Tinghe.

is not only a surname, but also thoughtful and leaky, Yang Tinghe is not under Li Dongyang at all, and even exceeds. Therefore, when everyone in the Hanlin Academy thought that the victory was in their hands and only cared about strengthening themselves, he was very targeted and was filling in the gaps in the whole plan.

"After that, we will have to rely on a few masters." In the study of Yang's mansion, it was also brightly lit at this time, the candlelight was reflected, and there were many shadows on the windows.

"How dare you, how dare you, the little ones can't afford to be Lord Yang, and they will do their best at that time." Yang Tinghe addressed him politely, but none of those guests dared to hold up, so they got up one after another and spoke humbly.

"The little ones have such a lowly status, and they can one day enter a place like the Wenhua Palace, they are already fortunate to have three lives, and in the past, they would not dare to think of it. Lord Yang's kindness and virtue, how dare the little ones not to die and repay the adults wholeheartedly? Adults just rest assured, after going back, the little ones will definitely think hard behind closed doors, even if they can't do their best, they must put out Xie Hong's fierce flame a little. ”

The Hanlin are the children of Confucianism, and they don't need to guess what kind of topics they will come up with; And Xie Hong is a craftsman, what topics he will have, many people also have corresponding judgments. Therefore, Yang Tinghe also invited the original famous craftsmen in the capital, and after some warm words and comfort, he proposed to let a few people enter the Wenhua Hall with the Hanlin in case of emergency.

What is the Mandarin Palace? It is one of the most sacred places in the world, even if it is the old man of Jinshi, many people have only entered once in the palace test, and they can go in, this kind of glory can already glorify the ancestors and shade the future generations.

However, Xie Hong's magic is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially for those of them who are skilled in craftsmanship, Xie Hong is simply an existence that is difficult to look up to.

Scholars look down on the skills of craftsmen, but how can they not know the breadth and profundity of them? Compared to the Sage Dao, of course, it is inferior, but if you want to exhaustively study the changes, I am afraid that except for an outlier like Xie Hong, there is no one in the world who can do it. Therefore, even when the mood is very excited, no one dares to guarantee anything, but only says that they will do their best.

Yang Tinghe originally didn't plan to pin his hopes on these people, and let the craftsmen follow, but it was just a matter of seeking perfection, in addition to strengthening himself, Lord Yang thought that restricting the other party was also an effective strategy.

In terms of the general direction alone, Yang Tinghe coincides with Jiang Bin, of course, Lord Yang will not use the methods suggested by Jiang Bin. It's not because he's pedantic and benevolent, it's just that the target is Xie Hong, if he can kill him by force, the ministers of the DPRK and China would have already done it, where is his turn to be Lord Yang?

After sending off a few famous craftsmen, he turned around and entered the study again, and after a while, he called his henchmen in, first delivered a letter, and then carefully advised: "The letter must be handed over to Li Ge Lao in person, in addition, relaying the words of this official, it is said that all rituals of the court debate should be simple, the sooner the better, and the later it will change, remember, remember!" ”

"Yes, sir, the little one must bring the words."

…… Inside the study of the Heavenly Workshop.

The furnishings in the study are very simple, a pear blossom wood bookshelf leans against the wall, the decoration on the bookshelf is very exquisite, but there are no books on it, only some paper scrolls are erected on it, which looks very empty. A desk leaned against the window, the desk was very large, two or three the size of an ordinary bookcase, and the shape was also very strange, almost a square.

There was a pen holder on the table, but there was not a single brush in it, except for a few strange pens that were said to be called pencils, the others were all rulers and the like, and the rocking chair placed in the middle of the study was quite incompatible with the word study.

Like an ordinary study, there is probably only the sandalwood chair in front of the desk, and Xie Hong is sitting on it at this time, smiling very comfortably. Reading is actually a pleasure, especially on a summer night like this.

In the distance, the crisp chirping of cicadas; The mist of tea rises; The tip of the nose is even more fragrant with the girl's body; There is Yan Ruyu in the book, the ancients were honest and did not deceive me, is there anything more enjoyable than reading?

Look at Qing'er on the left hand side who is carefully holding the teacup and blowing gently, trying to let the tea cool down quickly; Glancing at it again, Ling'er who was shaking a fan on his right hand to fan him cold, Xie Hong's comfort was not to mention, and he couldn't wait to open the window and shout: This time is happy, don't think about it.

"Brother Xie, didn't you say you wanted to study? Why do you still draw on paper as usual? Ling'er asked with some curiosity.

She knew the purpose of this kind of desk, and the original design of those famous buildings in the capital was done on this table. Therefore, Ling'er didn't feel strange that Xie Hong was painting things here, what made her a little puzzled was that Xie Hong clearly said that he was going to read today, but except that the paper he used was smaller than usual, it didn't seem to be any different, Xie Hong was still drawing something.

"Oh, I'm working on a question." Xie Hong put away his eyes and said: "Reading is a very wide event, holding books and rote memorization is just a mode of mere form, what I am doing now is a higher level, that is, applying knowledge, which is called applying what you have learned, and also called the unity of knowledge and action." ”

"Brother Hong, what you said is so profound, Qing'er can't understand it." The simple little girl was a little confused by Xie Hong's fooling.

Ling'er is not as easy to deceive as a little girl, she pursed her lips and looked at Xie Hong with a smile on her face.

"Well, I'm going to be more straightforward, like the one I'm working on right now, applying Pascal's principle...... Uh, by the way, Pascal, you don't know, then I'll put it another way, it's the principle of pressure, well, what is pressure, it's a long talk, you listen to me slowly......"

"Brother Xie, what's the use of these principles?" Thinking about the knowledge that Xie Hong said, Ling'er frowned slightly, and became even more curious.

"Oh, these are all physics knowledge, whether it is architecture or production, it is based on various principles of physics, as long as you learn it well......" At the beginning, Xie Hong was still very interested in explaining, but after talking for a while, his speed of speech became slower and slower, and he stopped completely at the back.

"Hong......" Qing'er felt strange, turned her head to look, but saw Xie Hong frowning, as if thinking seriously about something, the little girl didn't know what, for fear of disturbing him, so she stopped talking.

For a moment, the study fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, under the nervous gaze of the two girls, Xie Hong's brows suddenly and slowly loosened, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and finally that smile turned into their familiar smile: "After the court debate is over, let's build a school too." ”
