Chapter 120 The first day of school at Capital University
Li Mengyang's death made officials who were dissatisfied with the examination law aware of the determination of the emperor and the court, and they no longer dared to openly express dissatisfaction with the examination law.
At this time, the project to transform the Leopard Room into the Capital University was announced to be completed.
Even the professors of various subjects at the Capital University were recruited by Wang Yangming, who had many friends.
Among them, the professor of liberal arts is Tang Yin, who was born in Jieyuan.
Science is Wang Wensu.
Engineering or Qiu Ju, after all, Zhu Houzhao personally taught him, which is enough to be a teacher.
The medical department is the imperial physician Li Yanwen.
Zhu Houzhao had to admit that the teaching staff of the first batch of professors at Capital University was quite good.
Needless to say, Tang Bohu was the most famous among the talents of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and he was not a corrupt scholar.
Wang Wensu, a famous mathematician in the Ming Dynasty, wrote the "Baojian of Mathematics", which was widely circulated in the original history.
Although imperial physician Li Yanwen is not well known, his son Li Shizhen is known to many people.
In ancient times, medical inheritance was inherited from the family. From the status of his son in the medical field, it was enough to see that his father was not a quack.
As for Qiu Ju, in the Ming Dynasty now, the only scientific and technological elite who can make two acids and two alkalis is worthy of the position of engineering professor.
Zhu Houzhao also visited the Capital University on the day it was completed, and asked Wang Yangming: "I heard you said that in addition to Qiu Ju, we also need a Secretary (Vice President) of Capital University. Are you sure?" Candidate? ”
"Confirmed, his name is Yan Song, and he is also a Jinshi. He was a scholar in the Hanlin before, and later he stayed in the Hanlin to become an editor. He resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown. Now he has applied for the position of Si Ye at the Capital University. Originally, There are not many Si Ye who are applying for the Capital University, only about fifty people. He is the most special, so I asked him a few more questions. He is indeed a person who cannot be underestimated."
Wang Yangming replied.
When Zhu Houzhao heard that Wang Yangming said it was Yan Song, he couldn't help but laugh: "Tell me how he should not be underestimated."
"I know the world but not the world. He knows the world but is very worldly. He is good at being an official but has a long-term vision. His future future should not be under my control!"
Wang Yangming replied.
Zhu Houzhao had to admit that Wang Yangming was right. In terms of politics alone, Yan Song's status in history was indeed higher than that of Wang Yangming later. Although Wang Yangming was more famous in the academic world and even received a title, in the Ming Dynasty at that time, the rotation was The level of scenery is not as good as that of Yange Laoye!
Unfortunately, Yan Song was later defeated by Xu Jie and became a traitor that has been sung throughout the ages.
As for Xu Jie, if it hadn't been for Hai Rui's trip, he would have been praised as a good minister who started the Longwan New Deal.
In any case, Zhu Houzhao had to say with emotion at this time: "Wherever the Capital University was founded, there were a lot of talents, good things, good things!"
Zhu Houzhao asked again: "How many students have signed up to enter the Capital University?"
"Currently, the Ministry of Rites said that there are only two. The registration deadline will be tomorrow and the official start of school. It is estimated that there will not be more!" Wang Yangming said with some disappointment.
Zhu Houzhao also smiled awkwardly, thinking that indeed, most Jinshi still didn't value the Capital University very much. Perhaps they were eager to become an official and no longer wanted to study hard.
"Just two, they will regret it in the future. I will come in person when school starts tomorrow!"
Zhu Houzhao continued walking around as he watched, instructing Wang Yangming on what to add. He even asked Wang Yangming to prepare the sports ground and Cuju court in advance.
The entire Royal Industrial Experimental Base was also incorporated into the Capital University system by Zhu Houzhao to facilitate future industry-university-research cooperation.
Early the next morning, it was the beginning of school.
Yan Song and his wife Ouyang came to report early.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao had just left the Forbidden City and came to the Capital University.
"It is really a royal villa. It is an excellent place to study in this kind of place. Madam, please go back to the carriage and wait, lest people know later. I am here, husband, with my female family members, just to live in trouble."
Yan Song looked at the majestic main entrance of the Capital University, and after saying this, he couldn't help but tell his wife Ouyang. Ouyang, on the other hand, still let go of Yan Song's arm with some reluctance: "Husband, have you really decided to stay at the Capital University and serve as a secretary? As a Taoist woman, I know that this is just a place for academic study. There are no nobles in the Imperial Academy, and they still associate with the lower class, and there is no money in the six yamen. "
"Madam, you must know that this Capital University was established at the request of His Majesty, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to it. As an official here, I will naturally see Your Majesty every day. What I, Yan Song, lack is not a noble background, but an opportunity! In front of Your Majesty Opportunity to show my face! It’s ridiculous that there are so few people in this dynasty, so I, Yan Song, took advantage. It’s more cost-effective to study for qualifications at the Capital University than at the Hanlin Academy.”
Yan Song laughed as he spoke.
"But don't you know that our current emperor is a murderous person? He is extremely cruel and ruthless. I am really worried about you. The emperor had his head chopped off when he was unhappy that day!"
Ouyang said worriedly.
"Even if the emperor is a murderous demon, he is not afraid of his husband. How can ministers have the right to choose the king these days? Only the king has the power to choose his ministers!"
While Yan Song was talking, he saw a young man walking over, and he hurriedly raised his hands and asked, "Young Master, are you also coming to the Capital University?"
"Yes!"
This person was Zhu Houzhao. Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly replied.
"Then I would like to ask you how to call me young master. Judging from your young age, you must be young and successful, right?" Yan Song asked.
"I, Zhu Shou, am a new scholar. I am here to study. May I ask what I call this brother?" Zhu Houzhao replied.
Years later, Yan Song swore that he regretted saying such a sentence at that time the most in his life.
Yan Song puffed up his chest and touched his slightly thick beard: "I am Yan Song, the director of the Capital University. Logically speaking, you should call me teacher! When you come to enroll here, aren't you afraid of being slapped by His Majesty who is so murderous? ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled instead of being angry: "What about you, teacher? Are you not afraid?"
"Afraid, why are you afraid? I would rather die under the king's butcher's knife and become a teacher than let what I have learned all my life go to waste in the countryside!" Yan Song raised his neck and said in a classy manner.
Zhu Houzhao didn't answer. He just entered the Capital University first. When he saw two scholars chatting there, he walked over: "May I ask who you two are?"
"I am Zhang Cong, a new scholar in the new science!"
An older middle-aged man with a broad face and a fat body replied.
"I am Xia Yan, a new scholar in the new science!"
A relatively young young man replied.
Because Zhu Houzhao ordered Enke to expand the number of Jinshi candidates for this palace examination, Zhang Cong and Xia Yan, who had failed several times in history, both won the Jinshi at this time, but they were both among the top three Jinshi at the end of the list. Zhang Cong Even the last one.
However, it was also because they were both top three scholars and did not want to serve as officials in other places and wanted to stay in the capital that they were willing to study at the Capital University.
Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh: "They are all outstanding people for a while!"
When Zhu Houzhao said this, Zhang Cong was very happy: "This little brother has good eyesight. Zhang is not arrogant. He jumped over the dragon gate this time. He will definitely do a great job in the future! He, Ma Junzhou, can be the chief assistant, and I, Zhang Cong can do it too!”
Xia Yan shrugged his shoulders disdainfully and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Fortunately, Your Majesty is so lenient this time and has increased the quota of 100 Jinshi. Otherwise, he would not even be able to become Sun Shan." You can only lose your reputation! Therefore, you have to change your words. There is only one outstanding person in front of you, and I, Xia Guixi, am the real young scholar!"
As Xia Yan spoke, he opened the folding fan and started fanning.
Zhang Cong said with disdain: "You are not much better!"
At this time, Yan Song came over and said with a smile: "I am Yan Song, the secretary of Capital University, and I am your teacher!"
Yan Song said to Zhu Houzhao: "You are such a rude student. You came in first without bowing to your teacher!"
As Yan Song spoke, he puffed up his chest and raised his head, waiting for Zhu Houzhao to salute and apologize to him, and for Zhang Cong and Xia Yan to salute him.
