Chapter 7: The College (II)
Time flies, and it is more than a month.
The ancient feudal imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty and the later Daqing Dynasty, although seven hundred years later, was led by the Taiping Society, the original body of Lin Pingzhi and the great savior of human civilization, Hong Tiangui, in the new era.
However, it has to be said that this kind of meritorious system of judging heroes by merit has indeed strengthened the class circulation of classical society to a certain extent.
At least, when the results of Lin Pingzhi's first big exam after entering the academy came out, all the student circles of Guangfu Academy had different perceptions of this very handsome young man.
Lin Pingzhi's name began to circulate among the children of the official eunuchs, and after inquiring about the Lin family of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, he did not invite any famous teachers to teach him in the past, and Lin Pingzhi was self-taught.
Immediately, they sighed that this person was a genius, and some of the gatherings in their own circles also began to send people to invite Lin Pingzhi to participate.
In the eyes of these people, Lin Pingzhi, who has shown talent in the imperial examination, is knowledgeable and talented, and sooner or later he will be one of them.
And the poor students of the academy were also shocked by Lin Pingzhi's blockbuster.
Young people who can have talent and knowledge at the age of a weak crown are already worthy of these scholars to put down their shelves.
Among the poor children, who are sociable, have begun to frequently walk to the small courtyard where Lin Pingzhi is, and Lin Pingzhi does not refuse to come, and in addition to the time to increase his knowledge, he brings his classmates from his own wealthy business circles from time to time to feast these poor children.
For a time, with Lin Pingzhi as the center, the three student circles of Guangfu Academy's official eunuchs, Hanmen and wealthy businessmen turned out to be unprecedentedly merged.
The changes brought by Lin Pingzhi reached the top of the academy, and it also caused an uproar.
Gu Dazhang, known as one of the seventeen gentlemen of the Donglin Party and once a member of the four grades of the imperial history of the capital, is the head of this Guangfu Academy.
After learning about the deeds of Lin Pingzhi, who was a blockbuster during this time, from the superintendent of the academy, Fu Su said.
"This son is young and popular."
"Socialize with your classmates without forgetting to consolidate your knowledge."
"Not bad, not bad!"
Opposite the mountain chief, there were three middle-aged people wearing scholar's robes at this time, all of whom were senior masters of this Guangfu Academy, and each of them had a meritorious reputation.
At this time, the superintendent who heard the words of the mountain chief spoke first.
"It is also his blessing that this son can get a word of praise from the mountain chief."
His wife was born in a large grain merchant in Fuzhou City, and almost all of her daily grain transportation and grain sales were escorted by the dart master of the Fuwei Dart Bureau.
Therefore, Supervisor Li has a close relationship with the Lin family in Fuzhou City, and Lin Pingzhi was able to enter Guangfu Academy smoothly, which is also his relationship.
"What blessings are not blessings?"
"Born in a martial arts family, but was able to get the top five in the big exam, this Lin Pingzhi is a material for learning literature!"
Gu Dazhang was full of praise, naturally not only because of Lin Pingzhi's good results in the big exam, although the big exam in this academy was strict, but after all, it was only a talent level, and it was not in the eyes of a second-class jinshi like him, a gentleman of Donglin.
The reason why I appreciate Lin Pingzhi so much is because of several articles that have circulated in Lin Pingzhi at the reunion with his classmates in the academy in the past few months.
Although the writing of those articles is young and not very gorgeous, the connotation expressed in them, especially the words "talking lightly and emptily, emphasizing truth and pragmatism" written directly in the summary paragraph by Lin Pingzhi in the article, made Gu Dazhang appreciate it even more.
In this time and space, the Donglin Party during this time period was still under the strong suppression of the eunuch party led by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.
The leading first generation of Donglin gentlemen, including Gu Dazhang, were all belittled from Beijing to Nanjing because they wrote against the eunuchs, and then they returned to their hometowns to teach.
Most of the first generation of Donglin gentlemen were truly virtuous and open-minded Confucian scholars, who advocated the concepts of honesty and public service, revitalization of official governance, construction of water conservancy, and introduction of southern species, all of which were very in line with the times and had a positive effect on the whole country.
The current Donglin Party is far from the end of the Ming Dynasty Emperor Chongzhen Tianzi ascended the throne, the second and third generations of the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" Donglin Party members were in power, long in internal strife, short in governing the country, the army, and even the abolition of commercial taxes, resulting in the court because of the lack of money and food and completely collapsed the degenerate.
These ideas expressed by Lin Pingzhi were themselves admired by the Donglin Party at this time.
It's just that most of the current Donglin Party members don't have a clear program and ideas in this regard, and Lin Pingzhi is so clear, he will naturally easily win Gu Dazhang's appreciation and recognition.
"Elder Shan, this Lin Pingzhi is precisely because he was born in a martial arts family, and he has not worshiped a teacher in literature and TaoismΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Seeing the mountain chief's face full of appreciation for Lin Pingzhi, Courtyard Supervisor Li stood up and walked a few steps closer, and whispered beside Gu Dazhang.
Since he received the rich money and food from the Lin family of the Fuwei Dart Bureau before, he accidentally learned that Lin Pingzhi wanted to worship Dazhang as a teacher, and now that he has the opportunity, Inspector Li doesn't mind helping Lin Ping's kind words, and if it doesn't work, it won't bring him any loss, and if it really happens, it will just make the Lin family owe him another big favor.
The words of the court supervisor made the mountain chief Gu Dazhang hesitate for a moment.
The relationship between teachers and students in this era is very close, and in the eyes of outsiders, including Gu Dazhang himself, it is not beneficial to worship himself as a teacher at a time when the eunuch party is in full swing.
For example, among Gu Dazhang's previous six disciples, four of them stepped into officialdom, but because their teacher was one of the seventeen gentlemen of the Donglin Party, not only did they fail to show their ambitions, but they were all heavily suppressed by the eunuch party, and they can only be transferred to Nanjing, which is far away from Beijing, as officials, and has no real power.
Lin Pingzhi entered the academy through the relationship of Li Yuanjian , which could not be concealed from the mountain chief Gu Dazhang.
This era is a typical humane society, and Gu Dazhang has nothing to blame.
Since Courtyard Supervisor Li mentioned Lin Pingzhi's lack of a master in his face, the meaning behind it is that Lin Pingzhi really doesn't care about the future, and wants to worship himself as a teacher because of his knowledge and character, which makes Gu Dazhang feel very relieved in his heart, but it is not easy to refuse directly.
After a long while, he sat down in the chair, took a sip of the strong tea on the bookcase, and spoke slowly.
"Such a talented and beautiful jade, if you really have the heart to worship my door."
"Just let him behave well at the poetry meeting!"
ββββββββββββββββββ
In the evening of the same day, after Lin Pingzhi learned the news from the scholar Sijiu, he couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world.
I think that at the beginning, although he put the ultimate goal of apprenticeship on Gu Dazhang and the Jinshi Confucians who participated in the Guangfu Poetry Club, he really didn't choose who he worshipped.
After all, Lin Pingzhi is now just an ordinary academy student who is not even a child.
His goal was initially just to worship any Donglin Party as a teacher, so that he could smoothly blend into this Donglin circle, and then use the knowledge of later generations to transform the Donglin Party into a political machine that can really "fight", so as to help him completely change this era in the future and obtain a huge number of deflection points.
But I never expected that I hadn't used the strength to be able to worship the seventeen gentlemen of Donglin, and the opportunity to be the leader of Donglin Gu Dazhang as a teacher, so I put it in front of me.
"Others have abandoned it like a shoe, but I have picked it up like a jewel!"
"In that case, the poetry meeting in three days."
Lin Pingzhi, who was standing in the small courtyard, put his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon gradually appearing in the clouds in the sky, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I'll do a good job!"
