Chapter 5 is in its prime!
Hearing Xia Zhibai’s arrogant words, Jie Min and other northern students’ expressions changed slightly. How could the word ‘Tiance’ be something they and others could even imagine?
There is only one person from ancient times to the present.
This has been criticized by many literati. If Xia Zhibai’s remarks fall into His Majesty’s ears, what will His Majesty think?
After Li Shimin got General Tiance, he directly launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution. Even if Xia Zhibai used this to show off his ability, how could these words be said by literati like them?
This is causing trouble for yourself!
Lian Zining couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xia Zhibai's confident look in front of him really made him feel a little unsure.
But now.
Xia Zhibai is no longer something to be afraid of.
He is just an ignorant person who does not know the heights of the world. After reading a little book and knowing some truths, he thinks that he is great.
In fact, it is just a frog in the well.
It makes people laugh.
Lian Zining looked around, but he was not prepared to stand out. He had a profound family background and knew a truth very early on.
The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them.
The only ones who can compete with him for the top spot in the imperial examination this time are Hua Lun and Huang Zicheng. Just now Hua Lun took on Ding Xian's words, which obviously gave him an excuse.
When the time comes, they will secretly make noises and spread those words to the ears of the officials in the DPRK. Even if Hualun ranks ahead of him in the scientific examination, it will be difficult for him to become the number one scholar.
His current competitor is only one person.
Huang Zicheng.
Lian Zining raised his left hand, making a figure eight, stroking the mustache at the corner of his mouth, his eyes moved shrewdly, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Lian Zining said: "You can't get the number one scholar by talking big words. In the end, you have to rely on your knowledge to speak for itself. Now that the Ce Wen test has just ended, do you dare to briefly explain your Ce Wen questions and answers. ”
"Do you want me to open my eyes?"
"Let's also see if your self-proclaimed number one genius is really worthy of your name."
Lian Zining looked at Xia with a hint of provocation. of white.
Ding Xian also reacted at this moment, his face turned green and red, feeling that he was humiliated, and stared at Xia Zhibai with red eyes.
He said angrily: "This man is just a sensationalist. He has no real talent. If he is asked to show his knowledge, he has no ability."
"I'm afraid I don't even dare to open my mouth."
Xia Zhibai frowned.
His policy was indeed inappropriate to speak out. Once spoken out, all the people present would be punished. He did not want to bring disaster to Chi Yu.
I don’t want to involve other people either.
He said calmly: "After the reform of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, the questions and answers are no longer important. What is important is the imperial examination."
"Even..."
"The palace examination is not important."
"What is important is the emperor's weighing of the selection of new officials. If the palace examination is appreciated, he can easily rise to the top."
“If it is not eye-catching, no matter how good the article is, no matter how many beautiful words you say, it will only be superficial and rarely useful.”
“You guys also take the imperial examination too seriously. ”
As soon as Xia Zhibai's words came out, everyone around him was dissatisfied and shouted angrily.
“Arrogant!”
“How dare you say such big words without talent or virtue?”
“The imperial examination is the most fair system recognized in the world, how can you do it? Can you slander?”
“……”
Xia Zhibai chuckled and relaxed: "You have misunderstood one thing after all. Reading is studying, and being an official is being an official. These are two different things."
"Reading makes people wise, but The only thing in my mind is studying, taking the exam, and becoming an official in one step. It's so empty and broad. ""The imperial examination is just a way of thinking about you." A larger display stage allows us to show what we have learned to the world and attract the attention of the world, but it is only a threshold."
"Even if we have not become a scholar, if we look down on ourselves because of it. On the contrary, it fell behind.”
"When you are old and strong, you would rather move your heart with a white head; when you are poor and strong, you will not fall into the clouds."
"The vast world has a lot to do."
"The ranking in the imperial examination can only prove one's own ability. Knowledge is indeed better, but truly managing a place will show your ability, and this is far more important than knowledge in books."
"What you learn on paper will eventually make you feel shallow, but you must know that you must practice it. . ”
“Even if you fail in the imperial examination, if you work hard in the local area and win praise from the people, you will be promoted to the imperial court and praised by the local people sooner or later.”
"This is the value of being an official."
"The imperial examination does not determine everything, but people with good knowledge have more opportunities to get ahead and have greater room for choice."
< br>“But this is not absolute.”
“I have heard this saying before, don’t give up the world to people you despise.”
“Let’s encourage each other.”
"The students from the north may not be as good as those from the south in terms of ranking, but they have made far more contributions to the stability of the world, the restoration of life and production in the north, and the bridge between the north and the south."
"Perhaps the imperial examination results of many of them It is not as good as the south, but their future achievements may not be as good as those in the south."
"Justice is in the heart of the people."
"The people's eyes are sharp and they can clearly see who those people are. Those who really do practical things can also see that those people are superficial. "
As soon as Xia Zhibai's words came out.
Jie Min and others were thoughtful, and the depression that was originally held in their hearts was relieved a lot at this moment.
Xia Zhibai looked at Huang Zicheng and others, with a hint of contempt on his lips, and continued: "As for arrogance? Why not?"
"Young and frivolous is what is called."
"I, Xia Zhibai, am only twenty-two years old. At a very young age, I passed the children's examination and the college examination one after another, and got the first place in the provincial examination, and became the leader of Kaifeng Prefecture."
"This time I am equally confident about the imperial examination. Why can’t I be frivolous? Do I have to wait until I am old, face an empty paper, and write a sentence, and I will become a teenager? "
"But am I still a teenager in old age? Will I still be the teenager I am today?"
"You are only in your twenties or thirties, but you look old-fashioned. After all, It’s because he lacks the high-spiritedness that he should have.”
“Qia is a classmate, he is in his prime, he is a scholar, and he is scolding Fang Qiu.” ”
“……”
Listening to Xia Zhibai's lofty sentiments, everyone around him looked at him with a sense of solemnity. Compared with Xia Zhibai's confidence, they were indeed a bit too pedantic.
It’s too lifeless.
Xia Zhibai added: "This imperial examination will be resumed after ten years. If nothing else happens, the imperial court will select many more officials than usual this time."
" We are indeed young and have relatively little experience, but given time, we may become the mainstay of the world.”
“Why shouldn’t we be confident?”
"We will be able to influence the direction of the world in the future. If we don't even have this confidence, how can we be a good official and benefit the people of the world?"
"In addition, Lian Zining, your little one Too many thoughts, scheming, but no foresight. If you want to make me embarrassed, then I will make a bet with you.” , no one will become the number one pick in the end, do you dare to make this bet with me?"
