Leaning against the wall of the bath, he looked at the sky.

Today's sky is still as clear as ever, and Yujing in a peaceful and prosperous era is like this almost every day. Yujing in the rain makes people feel more secure, because everyone has a space to shelter from the wind and rain. In a safe environment, compared to the cold rain outside the window, people can feel more happy now.

Occasionally, planes pass by with the roar of engines, but not loudly. After all, several airports such as Pukou will also deliberately avoid the resort area of Tangshan, so as not to disturb the people here.

"It would be nice if I could do this every day," he shook it, "It's a pity that this ticket has a time limit~ The admission time is until the day." You have to go out around dark. ”

Although it could have been a little later, the tram on the outskirts of the city would not have to wait that long, and you had to prepare to go back at six or seven o'clock.

"I'll take a look at the schedule." Leaning sideways, he took out the guide book from inside the bathrobe, and the schedule of the means of transportation was written in one column of the guide book.

"Today is the latest, 7:10 a.m. Well, that's going to come out at about 6:45. He muttered.

"Do you want to ride with us? Shang Tianjun? ”

Suddenly, the voice drifted from the clouds.

"Oh?" Shang Luo looked up.

"Eh, Wen Ge Lao, you are here too. Why didn't I notice you? ”

Wen Zhong, sitting on the other side of the pool, sat near the water outlet. He'd been sitting there in the bath since just now.

"Most likely, what important thing is Shang Tianjun thinking?"

"Well, it has something to do with the Pure Land. Our progress has accelerated, and there is a lot to do. I sometimes think. If I do something wrong, something will happen. After all, time does not turn back. What if"

"Stop." Wen Zhong waved his hand on the other side, "Shang Tianjun, take a good rest." I think it's been a long time since you've had a good rest, right? Then it's better not to think about anything and just take a bath here. Look, why didn't I hang out with the rest of the cabinet? ”

"Because. You're all resting separately? ”

"No, it's because I'm not social. I usually don't collude with them in private when I have something to talk about in the East Chamber, and I don't usually collude with them in private, and this is a time for me to have a good rest. So, this time needs to be planned. After a while, when the bath is over and they go to eat, they will naturally talk if they have something. By then, I'll be pretty much rested, and I'll be in good spirits. People are getting old. ”

He shook his head: "We old men, in fact, don't have many times in a day when we can maintain energy. Sometimes, it's just that it lasts longer than anyone else. The more I rest, the more I can be more energetic than them in the day. After all, I have more to do than they do. ”

"Oh, that's right, so what else can I talk about? When school starts next year, I'm probably going to Guozijian. So I should call you the old man, the headmaster? ”

"Well, that's what you have to call it. The environment inside Guozijian is simpler than elsewhere, and all the signs are bright. Because the people who enter the country are usually ready. ”

"It sounds like, 'This is a challenging decision.'"

"Because it is. People often tell you that the cost performance of Guozijian is very low, right? That's what I like. If everyone here has their own thoughts, how can they learn well? Guozijian does not cultivate Lang officials, Guozijian cultivates useful people. Let the useless become useful, and let the useful know how to use their own usefulness. Shang Tianjun, you should belong to the latter. ”

"Well, I'll do my best. Anyway, do I have anything to prepare? If you want to learn science or benevolence, you have to learn something like that. ”

"You don't have to choose. In the first year of Guozijian, there is no division of subjects, and science and benevolence are taught together, mainly to carry out general education in science and benevolence, to explain the history of thought in various fields to you, and to prepare for the selection of topics in the future. I'll talk about the specific research later. After you choose a topic, your original classroom will not be changed, and the public classes will still be held together, so as to ensure that students do not have sectarian opinions among themselves, and can maintain a normal mind in daily communication. ”

"Ah, after teaching like this, the students of Guozijian must be."

"It must not be of much use." Wen Zhong shook his head, "If you want to say that there is any special advantage, it is probably that the Guozijian has a relatively high promotion rate. Well, that's it. Because when it comes to exams, this kind of interdisciplinary thinking makes it easier for you to convince the examiner. However, the ratio of middle jinshi is not too high. Because the Jinshi test is about depth - but then again, it's enough to lift people. The entire imperial court is supported by thousands of people, and the six departments and Jiuqing Yamen are all inside. Jinshi are only more than 200 in a year, and they are just heavenly people who are used to serve as councilors in the court. ”

"So that's the case, so what if you get admitted to the Jinshi?" 、

"Tut-tut." Wen Zhong shook his head, "If you are admitted to the Jinshi, then you are not from the Guozijian family." Strictly speaking, all Jinshi are protégés of the Son of Heaven, because Jinshi is opened by the Son of Heaven himself. However, it is precisely because the protégé of the Son of Heaven is stuck here, so everyone's origins are equivalent to washing here. You understand, right? Therefore, after being admitted to the Jinshi, it is not up to you to decide which 'sect' to be divided into - however, Shang Tianjun, you are an exception. ”

Saying that, Wen Zhong laughed: "Tell you something interesting, you haven't heard it yet." Back then, the Son of Heaven actually planned to take the exam, but in the end, he stopped. ”

"Why?"

"Because if he takes any merit test, he will always continue to take the test, right? Then in the end, you must take the Jinshi exam - and then, it's an endless loop. Because he is the chief examiner of Jinshi, and he is also the person who wrote the questions. He had no way to give himself questions, and he had no way to invigilate himself. So if he doesn't take the test, it's just that, but if he does, others will think, 'Are you only a lifter, but you can't pass the Jinshi' or something. That's a pity. In fact, the Son of Heaven originally wanted to pass the imperial examination first on his own day. Well, it's a pity that in the end, the incident happened suddenly, and he had no choice but to inherit the unification with hatred. ”

"That's a hate."

Of course, he is much more hateful than Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan's kid has only lost one exam at most. He won't be able to take all the exams after that. So, Shang Tianjun, sometimes, you have to think it through yourself. Taking a bath is just the time to think about it. Don't go to other people's deals, the bath water is quite dirty. Look at the sky, just think about the problem, there is no such good time anywhere else. ”
