Chapter 416: The desire to take the exam!
The newspaper story quickly spread throughout the city.
However, compared to the vast majority of citizens, only scholars are more concerned.
After learning about this 'bianwen', scholars had mixed opinions about it. Some people sneered at it, while some people took it seriously. There was a commotion in the city for several days. The wind of discussion.
But no results were discussed.
On the contrary, there is a clear distinction between those who are against and those who are in favor.
Most of the people in favor are young people. They strongly agree with the change here, but the margins of identification are different. Some think that some corrections should be made to the world under the structure of Confucian scriptures. Some people believe that the world should undergo a "big break and establish a new one", while others are more radical and believe that the barbarians should be conquered forcefully, and all the land in the world should become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and then unified education and enlightenment can be carried out. Educate people with Confucianism.
Most of the opponents are middle-aged and successful scholars.
They don’t like change.
Modern is content with the status quo and is extremely opposed to Xia Zhibai's views. He believes that they are arrogant words and are harmful to the country and the people. This is nonsense and should be addressed to Xia Zhibai. In terms of crime, this group of people was especially led by the civil servants of the DPRK and some Hanlin scholars.
There are also a large number of censors.
So within two days of the publication of this newspaper, Zhu Yuanzhang’s spacious desk received no less than 100 copies of the impeachment memorial from hundreds of officials. Many people directly labeled Xia Zhibai as a traitor. What's more, it is directly said that Xia Zhibai was a detailed work placed in the imperial court by the Yuan people.
It’s just that Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed these impeachment papers.
Xia Zhibai's article indeed caused a great sensation among scholars and made many scholars think more deeply.
However, compared to the disturbances from the outside world, most officials in the court actually remained silent and did not make much noise about this. Especially the civil servants headed by Li Shanchang, who cherished their words like gold. , as if he had no knowledge of what was being discussed outside.
at the same time.
After a simple meeting, Wu Qian, Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin and others were summoned by Zhu Biao.
The side hall of the East Palace.
Zhu Gui, Zhu Zhi and other princes have reported to Zhu Biao one by one what they heard and seen in some teahouses that day. However, Zhu Biao was not very interested in the news told by Zhu Gui and others. He looked at the few people with hatred that iron could not become steel.
Zhu Gui and others lowered their heads, their eyes flickering, not daring to look at Zhu Biao.
Obviously feeling guilty.
Zhu Biao sneered and said: "You are really good enough. I see that you are bored in the palace, and the winter snow just melted, so I asked you to go out of the palace for a walk. In the end, you are doing well and getting down to business. Not doing much, Yanhualiuxiang is in decline, and they are spending a lot of money. Why, there are so many maids in the palace, and you have to get involved with these prostitutes?"
Zhu Gui and others blushed. Got to be red.
But they didn’t dare to say anything.
They just heard that it was the most fun place in the capital, so they went there out of curiosity. They didn’t really do anything there. As for the lavish spending, it was completely false. They were just coaxed into feeling happy. Several personal jade pendants were given away.
But they didn't dare to say this.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Biao was helpless and speechless.
Everyone didn’t learn well, and they didn’t know who came to tell them this. After leaving the city, they were absent-minded and wanted to run to the Qinhuai River. So they listened to a few songs and watched a few shows. Wu, almost revealed all his identity, but the key point was that he secretly discussed how many rewards he wanted from his father in the future. He couldn't help but blush when he heard it.
A long time.
Zhu Guicai said tremblingly: "Brother, you can't blame us entirely. You asked us to go see those scholars, so we followed them there. We didn't know they would go there at the time. We saw someone going in, so we followed them. Go in"
Before Zhu Gui finished speaking, Zhu Biao gave him a sharp look.
Zhu Biao said: "Forget it this time. If it happens again, don't blame me for telling my father."
Zhu Gui kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. With a grateful look on his face, he said: "Thank you big brother. I will definitely not do it next time. This time it was really an accident. Big brother was responsible for it." We are the best."
Zhu Biao waved his hands and said: "Don't flatter me here. You don't learn well at a young age. When it's time to study, focus on studying. I will teach you in a few days. What do you think of the homework and the textbooks sent by the Hanlin Academy?”
Zhu Biao pretended to be angry and asked about the teaching materials.
Seeing that Zhu Biao did not ask any more about leaving the city, several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Zhi quickly said: "We have read the textbook. It is quite simple. We have learned many things long ago, but what we learned in it is There are a lot of things, such as 'mathematics', 'miscellaneous studies' and so on. Dofuzi doesn’t understand it very well, and he has to spend a lot of time researching it every time, but we have also asked, and most of the things mentioned in it are correct.”
“As far as I am concerned, it is better than before. It’s easy to learn.”
Zhu Zhi expressed his opinion.
The literacy textbooks in the past were all long essays and articles by various saints, which would make people read a head or two, but now they are much easier. There are also some essays, and they all look better when you learn them. Interestingly, except for mathematics and miscellaneous studies, these two are more complex and cumbersome than the previous ones, and some concepts are even more confusing. However, even the master who taught them didn't understand them, so they didn't take them seriously.
Zhu Biao nodded.
He has also seen the so-called 'mathematics' and 'miscellaneous studies', which are indeed very novel. Mathematics is a little better, but it becomes more difficult later on. It is mainly those miscellaneous studies. I feel that many concepts are very abstract. For example, a simple 'force', 'heat', etc., he generally knew what it was, but Xia Zhibai tried to summarize it with some formulas. This method actually made many people in the Hanlin Academy dissatisfied, but after so long, But no one can falsify it.
This also surprised Zhu Biao.
He didn't know what Xia Zhibai was doing with these things, nor what tricks he was doing, so he asked his younger brothers to learn them first, and then they would know what was inside.
Zhu Biao said: "You must study seriously in the future."
"This set of textbooks was compiled by Hanlin bachelors and compiled by the world's elites. It can be called a set of strange books. Even I have a partial understanding of many of the contents in it, and there are even some that I can't understand. If you can understand If you learn all these, you may be even better than Xia Zhibai."
Zhu Gui and the others nodded and patted their chests, saying they would study hard.
Zhu Biao encouraged them a few times and then asked them to go back.
In fact, he doesn’t have too many thoughts to blame. Everyone has been young and curious, but he can’t let them be too presumptuous, otherwise they will ruin the reputation of the royal family, and they may be bad learners. This is not what he wants to see. Arrived.
As the eldest brother, he still hopes that his younger brothers can make a difference.
Not to mention that he is very talented, at least he can't be the same bastards as the second and third brother!
When Zhu Gui and others walked away, Zhu Biao recovered his thoughts and asked: "Ren Hengtai and the others are here, right?"
Zhu Biao's personal eunuch said: "Go back to your highness, they are all here. Now they are all waiting in another side hall."
Zhu Biao nodded and walked away.
