Chapter 799 He plans to open an academy
"Why... have you suddenly become so eager to learn?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled, his expression becoming more serious. "Ayu, I want to take the imperial examination."
Shu Yu was taken aback. "You want to become an official in the court?" After saying that, she frowned and shook her head. "No, with what you're doing now, if that person really does sit in that position in the future, you can become an official based on your merits. You don't need to take the exams one by one."
At most, the fifth prince will be able to become emperor within a year.
The Fifth Prince was well aware that Meng Yunzheng was exceptionally talented and capable. He knew that as long as Meng Yunzheng accomplished a few practical tasks, he could still be promoted and participate in politics.
For some, passing the imperial examinations may be the only path to success. But for Meng Yunzheng, this path was both complicated and slow.
After all, he would have to start taking the exams from the lowest level, and even if he passed every time, it would take several years, which was unnecessary.
Meng Yunzheng nodded, "Yes, I really didn't think about entering the court as an official, but I want to have official rank and title."
He is not even a student of the lowest level of the imperial examinations now.
He was very good at studying when he was young. His teacher once told his parents that he should take the imperial examination when he was nine years old, and even boasted that he would definitely pass.
At that time, Meng Yunzheng was full of confidence, but his parents were very hesitant and refused on the grounds that he was too young and his foundation was not stable and solid enough.
Later, he even told him privately that he should take the exam again in a few years, as he wouldn't stand out too much. He also told him that once he passed the county-level exam, he shouldn't try to pass it again, as the family's security escort company still needed him to take over.
At that time, Meng Yunzheng didn't quite understand, but he vaguely knew that his parents probably had some kind of hardship.
When he was ten years old, his family was destroyed and he understood.
If he passes the provincial examination and becomes a Jinshi, he will inevitably go to the capital and will definitely meet Gong Qiu.
His identity would be exposed then, but Gongqiu was very powerful, and even the three of them combined were no match for him.
If one stops at the level of a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), and remains inconspicuous and doesn't go to the capital, such a degree is sufficient for a small place like a local county.
Unfortunately, his parents didn't live to see that day.
Later, Meng Yunzheng followed Gong Qiu back to the capital, pretending that he had suffered a brain injury and become dull-witted, making it extremely difficult for him to study. Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for him to take the exam, and so he remains a commoner to this day.
But Meng Yunzheng did not neglect his studies over the years. He quickly absorbed knowledge and became a hermit in the mountains, unknown to Gong Qiu and others. His paintings were worth a fortune.
What he learns and puts into his mind is all his own.
For Meng Yunzheng, taking the imperial examinations was no difficult task these days.
He didn't want to be an official. He knew what officialdom was like and didn't yearn for it.
Having official rank and title is essential, as it will make things easier in the future.
"Have an official title?" Shu Yu asked in surprise. "What do you want to do in the future?"
"I want to open an academy." Not just any ordinary private school, but a large academy that can accommodate students from all over the country.
Shu Yu's eyes widened. "You want to be a teacher?"
To be precise, he is the dean.
Meng Yunzheng laughed and said, "I never thought about what I wanted to do in the future, I only thought about revenge. Now it's different, I have to work hard for our future life. I know you don't like to get involved in court affairs either. I won't serve as an official, but I can have students all over the world. What do you think?"
Shu Yu, "..."
What does she think?
She thought it was amazing.
Shu Yu knew beforehand that Meng Yunzheng didn't want to be an official; she thought she was going back to inherit Meng Pei's escort agency.
