Chapter 242: The Guest of the Curtain
When Cui Jian walked out of the examination hall, his face was full of lightheartedness.
Although he tried to maintain a modesty in dealing with others, the pride in his heart was inadvertently revealed.
He got the qualification for the Beijing examination, and no one could take it away.
Returning to his temporary accommodation, even though the results of the state exam would not be announced until three days later, Cui Zhen had already studied the strategy of the Beijing exam in advance and prepared for it.
The questions in next year's policy are easy to guess, but it is undoubtedly more difficult to really answer them brilliantly and resonate with the examiner Gao Cheng, so as to stand out among the candidates.
After all, the hasty play in answering the question is not the same as the competition faced by careful carving.
The three days passed in a flash, and most of the villagers who stayed in the hostel together went to the outside of the Assassin's Mansion to wait anxiously for the results to be announced.
Soon a villager came back to report that although the result was slightly different from the expected and failed to win the first place in the classic subject, the third place result was enough for Cui Zhen to qualify for next year's Beijing examination.
After Cui Zhen thanked the villagers who reported the good news, he was silent in the house alone, but when he was summoned by Dingzhou Thorn Shi Di Gan and went to the Thorn Shi Mansion to meet him, he was relieved.
Among these two people, the first is a Haoshou old Confucian, who has a wide reputation in Dingzhou, and is friends with Cui Gan's teacher Xun Ji because of his knowledge.
The second place is a middle-aged and long-haired and beautiful bearded man, who is also a Confucian in Dingzhou.
Cui Zhen may be more talented than the two, but the interpretation and opinions of the Four Books and the Five Classics of the classic science of the state examination, even if he is distracted by mundane affairs, even if he is talented and well-cultivated by famous teachers, how can he be as good as the two who have concentrated on studying in the past.
But the point is not this, but after the results were announced, due to his curiosity about Cui Geng, he simply summoned the top three of the classics together, which is undoubtedly in line with the tradition of worshipping the teacher in history.
Maybe Di Gan doesn't have too much selfishness, just love is too earnest, but the world is like this, whether it is the examiner who loves and cherishes talents, or the candidates try to cling to it, the tradition of worshipping the teacher can be passed on, and it has its own reason.
Gao Cheng had expected it in advance, but he didn't think about banning it for the time being, because he, the biggest and most important examiner for the candidates, was still waiting for the candidates to worship him.
Whether it is to worship the teacher or record the same year, it is an important way for civil officials to form a party, and they have always relied on the imperial examination to weave their own network of relationships in more than 1,000 years of history.
Even if Gao Cheng is forbidden by the Ming Dynasty, when the civil power develops to a certain extent, if future generations want to save him some face, they will find another name and another way.
If you don't give face, it will be Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment, such as the "Ming Dahe", which was abolished after his death, and the ancestral motto that internal officials are not allowed to interfere in politics.
After recruiting the first three members of the classic department, after some narration, Di Di Gan left the three of them to eat in the house.
Cui Gan and the three of them were all from the scholar clan, and for them, the food that the always frugal Di Digan used to entertain guests was not rich, and even compared to some of the extravagant and hedonistic people in their own family, it could be regarded as coarse tea and light rice.
After eating, Di Di Gan left Cui Zhen alone and introduced him to his young third son, Di Di Anding, and his fourth son, Di Luo.
Maybe if you change a civilian assassin history, you won't snub the top two.
Among the top three classics in Dingzhou, Di Gan attaches the most importance to Cui Gan, not just his age, he thinks that whether he can be a good official has little to do with the study of Confucian classics.
He valued his ability to handle mundane affairs more than his learning.
After all, he himself is the best example, not to mention reciting the classics, people who can't even recognize a few words, but they have made achievements in Dingzhou.
The reason why there were only two young sons who met the guests was precisely because his eldest son Di Fu Jing and second son Di Di Xian'an had been sent to Luoyang by Gao Huan and had a relationship with Gao Cheng.
The eldest son, Di Di Fujing, was appointed as a subordinate official of the Cabinet, and the second son, Di Di Xian'an, was awarded the title of Scattered Cavalry Attendant.
He and Cui Gan were also full of confidence that Cui Zhen could gain a foothold in Luoyang, and he and Cui Zhen made it clear that they hoped that the other party could be friends with their two sons in Luoyang.
Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, this is also the old father's heartbreak for Di Fu Jing and Di Xian'an in Luoyang, this is also the intention of Di Di Gan to recruit Cui Zhen today.
After sending Cui Zhen away, Di Gan immediately ordered his cronies to write letters to his eldest son and second son on his behalf, in which he praised Cui Zhen a lot, asking them not to despise the other party because of his young age, and at the same time asking them to find a way to ease the relationship between Cui Zhen and Cui Xian in Luoyang and sell favors.
Cui Zhen was only fifteen years old, but he was invited by Gao Ao Cao to join the shogunate, which was the reason for Gao Cheng's henchman Cui Xian.
Cui Xian and Cui Zhen are both from Dingzhou, one was born in Boling Cui, and the other was born in Qinghe Cui, with a huge age difference, except for the same outstanding talent, it didn't have much to do with it originally.
However, Cui Geng's father, Cui 甗 (yǎn), has a deep grudge against Cui Xian.
Cui Ning was born in the big house of the Cui family in Qinghe, and he can also be regarded as a Xindu Yuancong, but his identity is a bit funny.
At that time, the people of Hebei rebelled, and Cui Ling was robbed of Xindu from his hometown by Gao Aocao with 300 light cavalry, and treated him as a mentor and friend, so he participated in the Xindu Jianyi in a daze.
It is precisely for this reason that Gao Aocao knows a lot about Cui Gan, who was tied up and sent to Xindu at that time, so when he was fifteen years old, he immediately issued an invitation, let him be the master, and entrusted all government affairs.
Cui Jian was anxious to join the Gao Aocao shogunate, not because he was worried about the retaliation of Cui Xian, who was reused by Gao Cheng, but because he thought that Cui Xian was in the way, and it was difficult for him to enter the Gao Cheng shogunate, so he was invited by Gao Aocao to go to Guangzhou with him.
After all, the door of the Cui family in Qinghe is there, in history, Lou Zhaojun is his youngest son-in-law, and in this life, he Liuhun's physical condition does not know whether he can be born The twelfth son, Gao Ji, and Cui Zhen's aunt and Cui Ning's sister said goodbye, and specially explained to Gao Ji:
'Behave well, don't make the Cui family laugh. ’
Gao Cheng, who is familiar with history books, naturally knows about this kind of thing, and he is curious that Cui Zhen's grandfather, Cui Xiu, died in 523 AD, that is, two years after Gao Cheng was born, at the age of sixty-three.
Based on this curiosity, after Gao Cheng learned about the relationship between Cui Zhen, Cui Ning, and Cui Xiu, he specially ordered someone to inspect that Cui Xiu did have a daughter who was the same age as him and was to be married.
The old twelve Gao Ji of the original time and space, the history books do not record the detailed birth year, but the old eleventh Gao Xiang was born in 538, no matter how you calculate, the daughter of the Cui family is at least eighteen years older than Gao Ji.
Female junior, hugging gold bricks, when she thinks of Gao Ji holding six gold bricks, it makes her good brother Gao Cheng worried, after all, it is not a good thing for a child to hold gold to pass the market, and there must be some way.
Of course, about Cui Zhen, Gao Cheng is more interested in the romance of his mother-in-law Feng, gossip, human nature.
Feng is dissolute by nature and has many personal affairs with others, including Gao Cheng's master Bo and Xing Shao.
There were two Guangzhous in the Northern Wei Dynasty, one was split from Shanxi Province in the early stage and was later abolished, and the other was established in the Nanyang Basin between Luoyang and Sanjing in order to protect the capital of Emperor Xiaowen, in order to protect Gyeonggi, and the seat of governance was in Lushan County, Henan Province.
The last chapter was written half and then the computer crashed, the mentality exploded on the spot, after rewriting, I fell asleep for more than three hours, but the boasted Haikou did not do it, only more 8000, 4000 worse, and I owe everyone a red envelope, and when the time is full, it will be sent in the group, after all, although we update the crotch, but I can't stand it and always boast about Haikou, and it is not difficult to fill up five red envelopes, and it will be sent to the book friend group on the 12th of next month, regardless of whether it is full or not, it will be sent to the book friend group, and the brothers who didn't grab it yesterday will be earlier.
Continue to sleep, get up and write again.
