69 069 Impulse
◎Open your eyes. The main story is about a man who is brave but not scheming and gets carried away by impulse.◎
In fact, Mo Yu originally didn't want to continue eating gossip about the princes on a day like the Qionglin Banquet.
Just like what he complained about before, there are a lot of gossips to eat among the Jinshi of this session. The story of Wang Shidan, the top scholar, who is the most famous "white-haired top scholar" in history, who remains calm no matter what difficulties he faces is not mentioned.
This is actually an inspirational story, not a big gossip.
Although Zhao Jin, the second place scholar, only worked as an editor in the Hanlin Academy in his life, he was sentenced to beheading because of a large-scale cheating case in the Jiangnan County Examination eight years later, "leaving a bad reputation for eternity".
Although this melon is very explosive, it is not a big deal because it has not happened yet.
As for the third place winner Qian Mingshi, he was a bit miserable. Just because he and Nian Gengyao took the provincial examination in the same year and had a good relationship, and he wrote some poems to flatter this fellow, he offended the fourth master, and was recorded in the little notebook by this master...
As everyone knows, those who are recorded by the fourth master have no good end.
After the fourth master came to power, this master immediately dismissed Qian Mingshi and sent him back to his hometown. Not only did he directly let more than 300 people write poems to attack him, but he also sent people to the door of the old Qian family to scold him... Well, this mind is not ordinary.
As for the Jiangnan talent He Chao, let's not talk about it.
This person is the Eighth Prince's tutor, and he has a very good relationship with the Eighth Prince. Not only did he personally teach the Eighth Prince calligraphy - yes, the Eighth Prince is good at everything, but at the beginning, because he was young, his calligraphy was not very good, and his strokes were crooked, which made Master Kang unable to bear it, so He Zhuo, a master of calligraphy, was sent to him as a tutor.
This He Zhuo is also very capable. Not only did he follow the Eighth Prince closely, but he even gathered a lot of connections for him in Jiangnan.
I forgot to say that this time, this Lord He was able to pass the imperial examination purely because Master Kang opened a backdoor for him...
Of course, he is definitely talented, but he did not rely on his own imperial examinations to get to where he is step by step.
It was because of his good performance as a companion to the Eighth Prince that he was given the title of a mentor, which allowed him to directly enter the palace examination.
Let's not talk about whether his backdoor is glorious or not... Anyway, it's not just one person who does this. For example, didn't Gao Shiqi, a scholar at Gaoda, also take this path?
They all want to stand out, which is not objectionable.
However, he took a shortcut after all. In the eyes of those who passed the imperial examinations step by step on their own, he might still be a little bit inferior. At least even Mo Yu, a crowd of spectators, looks down on him.
Not to mention the distant past, right now, there is an old man named Wang Shidan who is in the same subject with him, and he really passed the examination on his own. It just so happens that he is a man of talent, but unfortunately he has not been valued by the royal family and recommended for backdoor promotion - or maybe he is too disdainful to rely on anyone and does not want to take this shortcut.
Thinking of this, it feels like the image of Master Wang Shidan has become much taller.
It's a pity that such a talented person wasted such a long time of his best years because he refused to curry favor with the powerful and flatter others. As a result, he retired after only ten years. It can't be said that it is a loss for the court.
But what did Master Kang do?
He actually despised his hearing loss and didn't like him, the top scholar...
What's going on? It's
really depressing to watch.
Mo Yu browsed through the biographies of several Jinshi from System 006, and couldn't help but sigh like this, which of course successfully brought a big shock to everyone present.
Apart from other things, the different attitudes of Master Kang towards He Zhuo and Wang Shidan are very intriguing. The different situations
of He Zhuo and Wang Shidan made many Jinshi feel the same - among the Jinshi of this year, people from Jiangnan are still the majority, and it seems that the chaos in the imperial examinations in Jiangnan has not been a day or a year.
As Mo Yu complained, the ice is three feet thick, and it is not a day's cold. Such a big imperial examination fraud will definitely not break out in such a short time.
It must have accumulated for a long time before it broke out all at once.
I don't know if it was the work of those people that made such a talented person like Wang Shidan wait until this age to become the top scholar. Anyway, after this incident, the imperial examinations in Jiangnan will definitely be rectified.
The sky in Jiangnan is going to change again.
And all this was caused by this little kid who is only three or four years old. It's quite fantastic to think about it.
Everyone present felt a little complicated, so much so that even the food didn't smell so good - well, in fact, this so-called "Qionglin Banquet" was not really for them to have a meal.
Of course, it must be admitted that except for a few people who have a guilty conscience, most people are still happy about this matter.
After all, all scholars hope to have an imperial examination environment that is as fair as possible - after all, this is the most effective, fairest and most hopeful way for the grassroots people to achieve class transition through hard work.
Master Kang was also deeply touched by this.
He was no stranger to imperial examination fraud cases. When his father, Emperor Shunzhi, was in power, he had dealt with one. It was a bloodbath and beheading was like cutting watermelons. Originally, after such a harsh treatment, the intimidation should have been very strong, so he was always confident that such a thing would not happen again.
Who would have thought that it had only been so long, just a few decades? This happened again? It
was really a slap in the face.
But it doesn't matter, since it hasn't happened yet, there's still time for everything.
He immediately made up his mind and prepared to let Lin Ruhai investigate the matter.
He was familiar with this matter - using the "secret" revealed by the Lin family boy and letting Lin Ruhai investigate was a logical and effective method.
The father and son of the Lin family were really a pair of treasures.
They had to be used well.
...
Yes, this was the idea of Master Kang, the greatest emperor of all time. No matter how supernatural and mysterious the matter was, he was not afraid of it. Instead, he would think of how to use it to his advantage at the first time.
Even little kids of three or four years old were not spared, it was really...
Of course, Mo Yu didn't know what Master Kang was thinking. He was still immersed in the food. Although the "Qionglin Banquet" was just a means for the emperor to win over the newly-appointed scholars, it was undeniable that the standard of this banquet was extremely high.
The chefs didn't care what the superiors thought. After receiving the banquet mission, they would definitely do their best to prepare the job. This was their job. If they didn't do it well, they would never have the chance to do it again in the future. No one dared to take the risk. So no matter what the banquet mission was, the dishes had to be cooked well. Therefore,
as long as there was a banquet in the palace, there was never a bad meal. The chefs who really cooked bad food would have been dragged out and chopped off long ago. The rest couldn't be bad even if they fell asleep.
Therefore, the dishes of this Qionglin Banquet were also of a consistently high standard. Mo Yu has always been a person who cherishes food, especially such delicious food. It would be a waste not to eat it.
Therefore, while Mo Yu was complaining about several outstanding figures among the Jinshi of this year, he did not delay eating.
Therefore, although he was young and ate slowly, after complaining about four or five people, he could be considered to have eaten a lot.
It was also at this time that he realized belatedly that everyone seemed to not eat much, and they were all looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, which made him feel more curious.
[No, why don’t you eat? Is the food not delicious? Or is the show not good? ]
Mo Yu was very puzzled, but he remembered the words his father Lin Ruhai told him before leaving Beijing for Yangzhou to take up his post - be cautious in what you say and do.
This is the "golden sentence" left to him by his awesome father, who was a top scholar and a well-known official. He must remember it well.
The main reason is that he also thinks it is very true.
As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes. It is absolutely the first priority for workers to keep their lives silent if they can.
Especially since the "boss" he is serving now is not an ordinary person, but the king of a country. It is
said that "living with the king is like living with a tiger". If it is an ordinary job, if you say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, at most you will lose your job. But if something goes wrong in this job, you will lose your life.
Therefore, no matter what strange scenes he encounters or what wrong atmosphere he feels on weekdays, Mo Yu hides in a corner and pretends to be a quail. He does not care about these anomalies. He just plays the role of not caring about it and tries to get by safely for two years so that he can retire early.
Even if he can't retire, at least he shouldn't die in office... Just kidding, there's hope that his father Lin Ruhai won't be like this, it would be too tragic if he were to be like this.
Mo Yu had already made up his mind to be a transparent person no matter what happened, but who would have thought that the eldest prince would bump into him without any eyes.
Just when they were drinking three rounds, the eldest prince suddenly stood up and walked to his table, and said to him bluntly: "Lin family boy, what did you say just now? Are you talking about me behind my back again and being disrespectful to me?"
His words were quite incoherent, but not everyone present was ignorant of it.
Because his words were indeed inspired.
It was nothing more than that day in the South Study, when Mo Yu had silently complained about him in his heart - he didn't have the fate but had the disease to want to be in power.
He was so angry when he heard it, and if it wasn't for the Eighth Brother holding him back, he would have exploded.
But even if he temporarily endured it for the Eighth Brother's sake, it doesn't mean that the matter is over.
The eldest prince is really similar to Master Kang to some extent. For example, he likes to remember the other person's faults and bring them up whenever necessary, which is very similar to Master Kang.
But unfortunately, he only learned this, and didn't learn much of the other good things. No wonder he ended up so badly later. He
is brave but impulsive.
At this moment, it was because he accidentally drank a little too much that he suddenly got angry and attacked, and the main idea was that if I am not happy, you will not be happy either...
Master Kang's face suddenly became a little bad, and just when he was about to speak, he did not expect that Mo Yu's inner voice had already been released.
[Emma, you really deserve to be the eldest prince. Master Kang really made the right decision when he gave you a title. You are really "straightforward". Why, have you been used as a gun by the eighth brother again? ]
