Chapter 519: Behind the development of the imperial examination are countless low-level scholars
ps: I sent it first, I didn't modify it well, I'll see it later! After twenty years
After saying goodbye to Zhang Pu and others, Chen Zilong did not return to his hometown in Huating, but decided to go to Zhenjiang.
"Big middle brother, with the identity of you and me, I'm afraid I won't see the emperor." Fellow villager Xia Yunyi persuaded.
"I'm not going to go to the sparse, but to take the exam, with my knowledge, I will definitely stand out, so it shouldn't be difficult to see the emperor!" Chen Zilong said.
"Taking the test?" Xia Yunyi was stunned for a moment, "Senior Brother, it is a matter of time before you take the Jinshi exam with your knowledge, why bother to take this kind of exam, even if you are admitted, you can only be a left official." ”
The most important thing in the Ming Dynasty is the Jinshi, depending on the people who are born outside the Jinshi as the side door, without the fame of the Jinshi, it is impossible to be a big official.
Chen Zilong sighed: "I don't understand this truth, but the situation is so dangerous, I must persuade Your Majesty not to do too much in Jiangnan, otherwise Daming Sheji is in danger of overturning." That's the only way I can get close to the Emperor. ”
"It can be an expedient measure, it's a big deal to resign from the official position after admonishing the emperor, and then test the fame later." Xia Yunyi thought for a while, "Big middle brother, let's go to Zhenjiang together, by the way, do you want to talk to Zhang Tianru (Zhang Pu)?" ”
Chen Zilong shook his head: "Zhang Tianru has his own ideas in his heart, besides, there is no need for us to ask him for everything!" ”
From the conversation with Zhang Pu, Chen Zilong found that Zhang Pu was too thoughtful, too ambitious, and did not have much awe of the royal family in his heart. The emperor obviously wants to go to Suzhou, and he has already touched the interests of the entire Jiangdong gentry, Zhang Pu is the organizer of the restoration society, and he represents the interests of the Wujiang family behind him. So subconsciously, Chen Zilong wanted to keep a certain distance from Zhang Pu.
In the final analysis, the Fushe Society is just a loose organization, and the scholars are only united in the name of retro, in fact, it is a kind of group for warmth, the party is the same and the difference, and they get together for the sake of interests, and they will disperse when the interests are different.
For example, Zhang Pu and Chen Zilong, if it were other circumstances, the two would definitely be on the same front, but now that the matter involves the life of his family, Chen Zilong naturally does not want to be bound to Zhang Pu.
So Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi left Suzhou together and went north along the canal by boat. Along the way, they found that there were indeed a lot of ships heading north, and many of them were scholars.
When the ship arrived in Wuxi, the two went ashore to eat, and in the small restaurant, they found that there were many scholars, all of whom had just come off the ship.
"Chen Zilong in Xiahua Pavilion, friends are invited!" Chen Zilong hugged his fist at the scholars present.
With the vastness of his outing, he didn't know any of the people here, and only a few of them were meritorious talents, and most of the others were unmeritorious children. The land south of the Yangtze River is not the richest place in the world, and the atmosphere of reading is also the heaviest. The people of Jiangnan, as long as there is surplus food at home, will provide their children with education, hoping to produce a person to raise a person to change the fate of the family. However, the road to the imperial examination is so difficult that one out of a hundred scholars may not be able to pass the examination, one out of a hundred talents may not be able to produce a lifter, and only one out of ten people can be admitted to the Jinshi. While the imperial examination is prevalent, there are too many low-level scholars, and even those who can't even pass the Xiucai exam, if they can be counted as scholars.
Unlike the more arrogant Xia Yunyi, Chen Zilong does not regard himself as a person, nor does he look down on scholars who have no fame. So take the initiative to talk to the readers in the restaurant, of course, the purpose is to ask some things.
"It turned out to be Mr. Zilong, who was in Xu Du, a member of Xia Jinhuasheng, and had seen Mr. Zilong!" A young man stood up and shouted excitedly.
Although Chen Zilong is young, his talent has spread all over Jiangdong and Zhejiang, and he is a star among scholars. These scholars in the restaurant are all difficult people in the imperial examination, and their status is far from being comparable to Chen Zilong, so they are naturally very happy to see Chen Zilong here, and take the initiative to talk to them.
And this one is called Xu Du,
......
After saying goodbye to Zhang Pu and others, Chen Zilong did not return to his hometown in Huating, but decided to go to Zhenjiang.
"Big middle brother, with the identity of you and me, I'm afraid I won't see the emperor." Fellow villager Xia Yunyi persuaded.
