When Zhu Youxiao heard Lu Xiangsheng introduce himself, he was stunned.
Of course, I have heard of the name Lu Xiangsheng, and it can be said that he is familiar and well-known.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of the history of the late Ming Dynasty will have heard of Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng was extremely famous. He was a civil official and a Jinshi graduate, and he had loved martial arts since he was a child.
What made Lu Xiangsheng famous was his ability to lead troops in battle. Whether in the battle against the peasant army or against the Jiannu, Lu Xiangsheng could definitely be said to have made brilliant military achievements and was invincible.
His final death in battle also adds a bit of sadness to this character.
Zhu Youxiao had not expected to meet Lu Xiangsheng here, which made him somewhat surprised and shocked. Could his own Royal Academy have attracted a figure like Lu Xiangsheng?
This was something Zhu Youxiao had not expected.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but frown when he saw Zhu Youxiao's dazed look.
What happened to this young master in front of me?
You don't have to be like this just because you heard my name, right?
This shouldn’t be the case. Logically, you shouldn’t know me, right?
"My dear brother, what are you doing?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but look at Zhu Youxiao and asked.
"I'm just a little surprised to see you dressed like this." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, "Judging from your attire, you must be a Juren. There aren't many Juren who dress like you."
Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "So, what do you think a successful candidate should be like?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled happily. Lu Xiangsheng was an interesting person.
Zhu Youxiao pointed to a person not far ahead and said, "Shouldn't it be like that?"
The man in front was also a juren, holding a folding fan and wearing a light-colored long gown, looking like a typical scholar. He was accompanied by four or five servants, and his overall appearance was completely different from Lu Xiangsheng.
"Who says a juren has to be like that?" Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.
"Juren is a title bestowed by the imperial court, a recognition of one's learning, but it doesn't say that anyone dressed like that is a Juren. And if I dress like that, I'm not a Juren. Brother, don't you agree?"
"But if that's the case, aren't you afraid that someone will say you are disrespectful?" Zhu Youxiao asked again.
"A gentleman has six arts: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. "Shooting" refers to archery. What's wrong with me carrying a bow and arrows?"
"As for the knife in my hand, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm going to use it for the exam today."
"Do you know what the exam will be about?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhu Youxiao with a hint of disbelief, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, you don't know?"
"Should I know?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"I don't think you're here to take the entrance exam for the Imperial Academy." Lu Xiangsheng also said with a smile, "If you were here to take the entrance exam for the Imperial Academy, you would know."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Xiangsheng and asked.
"Because everyone who takes the Royal Academy exam has a detailed understanding of the exam process. The Royal Academy announced the exam process over a month ago. How could you possibly not know about it, brother?"
"That means you haven't paid attention to this thing. If you haven't paid attention to it, then you're not here to take the exam."
Zhu Youxiao clasped his fists towards Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile, "Brother, you have a good eye. I wanted to come too, but my family's financial situation doesn't allow it. I really can't. I can only come here today to join in the fun. Since you know, could you tell me about it?"
Hearing His Majesty's words, everyone around looked at Zhu Youxiao helplessly.
It is true that the conditions at home do not allow it.
Among them, Xu Guangqi was quite worried, fearing that Zhu Youxiao would really come here to study on a whim.
In Xu Guangqi's opinion, the current emperor has some of the same characteristics as Emperor Wuzong.
Emperor Wuzong of the past did far more outrageous things than this. He bestowed upon himself a noble title and the rank of Grand General, and traveled incognito all day, much like the current emperor. It was truly outrageous.
Looking at the current emperor, Xu Guangqi felt that there were still some similarities.
If Your Majesty really does this, I'm afraid that we, your ministers, will have a headache in the future.
It seems that I need to be more careful in the future and never let His Majesty develop in this direction.
Lu Xiangsheng also understood the meaning of Zhu Youxiao's words. He understood that Zhu Youxiao could not take the entrance exam for the Royal Academy because his family did not allow it.
The family conditions do not allow it, which does not mean that the conditions are bad, but that they are too good. Maybe Zhu Youxiao's family is a royal relative or a descendant of a noble family.
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "This is something everyone knows. Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
"This time, the Royal Academy exam has no restrictions on civil or military, no age limit, and no restrictions on academic achievements. Anyone who is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty can apply."
"In addition, the exam subjects are different from the imperial examination. They are not divided into several subjects. Anyone who wants to take the exam must take it. The exam is divided into several parts. At the end, the total scores of the parts are added together to determine the final score. Admission is based on the total score."
"Speaking of which, this is the first time such an exam has been held in Daming. Many people want to come and try it out."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile, "What are the exams about?"
"Today's exam is the same as the imperial examination, but I don't know what the exam is about yet. It seems there will be two exams, one in the morning and one in the afternoon."
