Wu Fanhui, who participated in the college examination, did not know that Shaanxi Xuedao was Fang Fengnian, if he knew, he would definitely be happy for his judgment.

Fang Fengnian was also a well-known person at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the official to the country to supervise the wine, the Ministry of Rites, the cabinet scholar, and later because of sympathy for the criminal department of the criminal department Liu Zhifeng, was deposed by Emperor Chongzhen, and was killed by the Qing soldiers after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Fang Fengnian was far from being involved in the turmoil of the imperial court, as a palace test passenger, his knowledge was not ordinary, and after entering the imperial court, he basically served in the Hanlin Academy, maintaining the lofty and arrogant style of the scholar.

After presiding over the hospital examination, Fang Fengnian's term of office in the coming year will be three years, and he will return to the capital, during the Apocalypse, Fang Fengnian was deposed because of offending Wei Zhongxian, and Chongzhen was used again by the emperor in the first year.

The academic atmosphere in Shaanxi is not strong, and there are many problems in government studies, state studies, and county studies.

Fang Fengnian has not been an official in the court for a long time, and basically in the Hanlin Academy, almost no substantive contact with the officialdom of intrigues, deceit and other means, came to Shaanxi to serve as a scholar, although it is ambitious, but it is difficult to really display his ability, and Shaanxi's continuous drought and famine, peasant riots and military mutinies spread, but also made him weak, it is impossible to change the situation that Shaanxi's study style is not strong.

But Fang Fengnian attaches great importance to the hospital examination, which is within the scope of his power, even if it is Li Yingzhi, the governor of Shaanxi, it is difficult to interfere in the matter of the hospital examination, you must know that Li Yingzhi is a Jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli, for example, Fang Fengnian's qualifications are much older, and in terms of position, he is also Fang Fengnian's boss.

The position of learning the Tao is more special, there is no grade, for example, Fang Fengnian, is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, the Japanese lecturer as the Shaanxi Xuedao, the Hanlin Academy is only the seventh grade, the Japanese lecturer also has no grade, but these two positions are extremely noble, no one dares to underestimate it, a hundred times the value of the Hanlin, the bachelors in the imperial court, almost all of them are from the Hanlin Academy, the Japanese lecturer is for the emperor to apply the history of the scriptures, answer the emperor's consultation, non-palace test first and second class Jinshi can not bear.

It can be said that the Hanlin Academy edited and served as a Japanese lecturer, such an identity, as long as he does things honestly in the imperial court, there will be no major problems, and he will definitely enter the cabinet as a scholar in the future and become the de facto prime minister of the Ming court.

Fang Fengnian, as a Hanlin editor and Japanese lecturer, served as a Shaanxi scholar, to put it bluntly, it was gilded, and after returning to the capital, he would definitely be promoted and reused.

With such a dazzling aura, Fang Fengnian can certainly decide on the hospital examination in Shaanxi, and Governor Li Yingzhi will not interfere too much.

However, as Fang Fengnian, who is a scholar in Shaanxi, has not been very happy in the past two years, the so-called too much, Fang Fengnian is almost to the standard of the township test, to treat the government examination, you must know that the level of Shaanxi students is not so high, Fang Fengnian is a native of Sui'an, Zhejiang, Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the places where the Ming Dynasty scholars have repeatedly produced, Fang Fengnian is also one of them, and it is indeed unfair to treat Shaanxi's readers with such rigor and high requirements.

In the first year of Chongzhen's Shaanxi Academy Examination, there were less than 50 candidates who won the fame of Xiucai, which made Governor Li Yingqi almost crooked his nose.

Before this hospital examination, Li Yingzhi also unceremoniously greeted Fang Fengnian, Shaanxi's hospital examination should be combined with the actual situation of Shaanxi, and it cannot be measured by the hospital examination in Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, otherwise Shaanxi will not be able to produce any talents.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the case of the north-south list of the Hongwu 30-year Ministry of Rites, that is, the case of Liu Sanwu, had already recognized the academic gap between the north and the south, and it became a fact that the later examination was divided into the north and south lists.

The so-called king of the north is vigorous, and the south is vigorous, from this point of view, Li Yingzhi's reminder is a very serious warning.

Fang Fengnian understood the meaning, and also knew that his requirements were too high, but the nature of the country was easy to change, although he decided to admit more candidates in this college examination, but when the exam questions were issued, he was still full of anger and came up with some difficult questions, but this was his power, and outsiders could not interfere.

At the end of the examination, the marking of the papers will begin immediately.

What Fang Fengnian didn't expect was that Governor Li Yingzhi actually came to visit.

As the governor of Shaanxi, he must pay attention to the township examination and the hospital examination, which is to select talents for the imperial court, and also show the governor's ability to govern, although it is said that the township examination allocates the quota of lifting people, but if these people in Shaanxi go to the capital to participate in the examination, they are all named Sun Shan, and they are not qualified to participate in the palace examination, and his face as a governor is not good-looking.

The best way is to let more talents participate in the township examination, so that more outstanding talents can be promoted, become people to enter Beijing to participate in the examination, and successfully pass the examination, and finally enter the palace to participate in the palace examination.

If you toss according to Fang Fengnian's method, you won't let the students in Shaanxi complain about it.

What's more critical is that next year will be the township examination, if the admission quota of Xiucai is too small, then the number of candidates who participate in the township examination will be significantly reduced.

Li Yingqi has a lot of things, in fact, he doesn't have the time and energy to worry about and ask about the things of the hospital examination, the disaster and famine in Shaanxi are so serious, I don't know how much to write, the relief of the imperial court has not been implemented for a long time, and the peasant riots in various parts of Shaanxi have even more killed Li Yingji, if he can't suppress it quickly, he, the governor, should not continue to do it.

At the end of the examination, during the marking period, no one can interfere, lest there be a suspicion of intercession, although the examination has adopted the method of obfuscating the name, but if you want to play some tricks from it, it is still possible.

Li Yingzhi really couldn't help it, he was worried that Fang Fengnian would repeat his old tricks, and he would treat it according to last year's requirements, and there would be basically no drama in Shaanxi in next year's township test. Fortunately, Li Yingqi is the governor of Shaanxi, and his identity is also unusual, he can't speak for a certain candidate, and he is just a showman who passed the college exam, and he, the governor, doesn't look at it at all.

Li Yingzhi did not enter the Tribute Academy, he would not make such a naïve mistake, he entrusted the political envoy to invite Fang Fengnian out of the Tribute Courtyard in the name of visiting Fang Fengnian, who learned Taoism, and came to the governor's yamen.

In less than a year, Fang Fengnian was about to leave Shaanxi, and he didn't want to offend Li Yingqi for the sake of the college exam.

Fang Fengnian entered the governor's yamen and went straight to the wing.

Li Yingzhi was waiting in the wing, still with a smile on his face.

"Lord Fang came here in his busy schedule, and this official is very grateful."

"Your Excellency summoned you, how can the lower officials not come, but the matter of the examination papers of the lower authorities has been rolled out, and the lower officials are indeed busy, and they need to return to the Tribute Courtyard immediately, if the adults have any matters, they will be ordered directly."

Li Yingqi's face had a brighter smile, he understood what Fang Fengnian meant, this stubborn Taoist master was finally enlightened.

"This official is also for the hospital examination, it is less than a year away from the township examination in September next year, and the official still thinks that more talents can appear in Shaanxi to serve the emperor and the imperial court.

"What the lord means, the lower official understands, and he will definitely do it, if there is no other matter, the lower official will retire."

"It's okay, Master Fang should go and get busy."

finally met, and it ended in a few words.

Li Yingzhi can't stay to eat and drink every year, you must know that nearly 3,000 articles must be read within ten days, and through these articles, you must select Shaanxi's talents this year, people who read the papers, you need to read the articles when you eat, and you have to hold the test papers in your hand to read when you go to the toilet, it is impossible to delay time, Fang Fengnian, as the chief examiner, needs to coordinate comprehensively, and at the same time to determine the final ranking, there is indeed no time to waste.

Li Yingzhi got up and sent Fang Fengnian to the door of the governor's yamen.

This move also moved Fang Fengnian a little, and he turned around and clenched his fists and spoke to Li Yingzhi.

"The adult's mind is understood, but this is just a matter of reading the file, and the lower officials still have to adhere to the principles, as for the next things, the lower officials know in their hearts."

"Lord Fang, rest assured, this official will never interfere in the matter of the hospital examination."

Seeing Fang Fengnian's sedan chair leave the governor's yamen and go in the direction of the tribute courtyard, Li Yingzhi's face quickly sank.

Today's move is a last resort, the dignified governor actually pleaded to learn the Tao, which is unimaginable anywhere, but Fang Fengnian's identity is too special, Li Yingzhi has to be taboo, and he can only speak to the point.

Li Yingzhi knew that Fang Fengnian would enter the cabinet sooner or later, but during this period, I am afraid that he will have to suffer a lot of tempering, understand many rules in officialdom, if the scholarly atmosphere is too strong, it is by no means a good thing, even if he enters the cabinet, it is difficult to show his hands and feet, and he may be kicked out in a short time.

Li Yingqi's judgment was accurate, although there was not much direct contact between him and Fang Fengnian.
