Liu Jian’s words... made people a little confused.

It is naturally a big event to be fully integrated in Xishan Academy, but for Liu Jian, it is not the point, but the point is that his son won Huiyuan.

You know, only one is released in three years of Huiyuan. With this Huiyuan, it will be ranked first after the palace examination. Maybe the Liu family can also produce a top scholar.

Liu Jian is a steady person and he tried his best to curb the excitement in his heart, but the joy in his heart could not be concealed no matter what.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was also happy: "Liu Jie... is so successful this time?"

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, this time, I will say something that I am the only one who is not studying at Xishan Academy, I am afraid..."

He shook his head.

This sentence is not humble, but a heartfelt word.

How much does his son have? Why don’t he know how much his son is? With Liu Jie’s ordinary qualifications, he might have had a luxury for even the Juren to have a luxury, but since he entered Xishan Academy, everything has changed.

Liu Jian looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply, and then said, "Your Majesty, this is really thanks to the dean of the academy, the crown prince, the son's master Fang Jifan, his mentor Wang Shouren, and his eight-legged lecturer Liu Wenshan, Jiang Chenren, etc., which also made great contributions."

Emperor Hongzhi became silent for a moment.

Xishan Academy.

Dominate the list...

This is indeed eye-catching, but it is like there is no way out.

The reason why Xie Qian said something strange is that it is because of this!

The purpose of the Eight Essays is to select scholars, so that all the talents in the world can learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and enter the imperial examination with the Four Books and Five Classics!

But now, a college in Xishan has the top spot in the imperial examination list, and all fifteen people have passed the imperial examination. So what about the next subject, will you still give someone a chance?

This imperial examination was exploited by someone, and Emperor Hongzhi had to think that Fang Jifan had thought of something! So when he arrived at the next subject, how many scholars would take the exam, and how many would he be included in the list? How could he play the imperial examination in the future?

If you don’t give hope to scholars, it means you won’t give people a way out.

But... Liu Jian is right...

What Emperor Hongzhi has been thinking about these days is a problem, that is, he has not had much time. If he dies, can the prince take over the country that his ancestors have given him?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the people in the warm pavilion. These people were his loyal ministers and he had entrusted great trust in them. In the future, they would definitely become the entrusted old ministers who assisted the prince, but... these alone would be enough?

Obviously not enough, but Xishan Academy won fifteen Jinshi this time, plus the previous six, these twenty-one young heroes, the future Qingliu, and the most precious people. When they see the prince, they also need to respectfully call them Grandmaster!

In other words, their destiny did not come from their master, one of their fellow countrymen, who had been with the prince since they entered the court, and they...

If the future prince succeeds the throne, they will be the disciples of the emperor...

If you think about it carefully, this... Xishan Academy is indeed... good.

Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi felt that the problems he had been worried about were wiped out.

Fifteen tribute students, and Jinshi who were not long after, were all disciples of the prince. If he died, he would be relieved.

Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his face, saying, "The professor and scholar of Xishan Academy have made contributions. He ordered a stone yard to be built and carved with a stele..."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said: "There are fifteen tribute students in Kexishan Academy today, but the imperial court does not distinguish between the talent selection. Xie Qing's family, among the unsuccessful scholars, will add another fifteen more people to the list of tribute students, and give them the same tribute background."

Xie Qian was stunned at first about Emperor Hongzhi's sudden decision, but then he understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant.

The original intention of the court was to rely on the imperial examinations to win over the world. Now that Xishan Academy is dominating the list, what can you do? Will the imperial examinations be abolished? The imperial examinations cannot be abolished, and they cannot be abolished even if they are beaten to death.

Change the rules of the imperial examination?

This is even more ridiculous, because there are many people passing the exam, so the rules need to be changed. So what is the fairness of the imperial examination? If fairness is lost, the imperial examination will be in name only.

A thorough investigation of Xishan Academy?

Just kidding, people have such achievements and are famous all over the world. Just because they do well in the exam, do you check them?

You know, the current crown prince is the president of this academy. Obviously, the Ming Dynasty’s reserve and full strength center has begun to shift!

In the past, the center of power of the prince was in the Zhanshi Mansion. In the Zhanshi Mansion, the emperor would choose a group of capable young ministers to serve in the Zhanshi Mansion. These people would teach the prince's knowledge, equivalent to the prince's teachers, lecturers and teachers. When the prince ascended the throne in the future, these people would rise to prominence and become the prince's ministers.

Now, it is obvious that the Zhan Shi Mansion has almost been cut off and has no influence at all. From Zhan Shi to the most ordinary professor and lecturer, there is no way to influence the prince.

So in the future, who can become the prince's right-hand man?

Obviously, it's in the West.

However, in the past, the teacher was by the prince, but now the student was by the prince.

The rules of the imperial examination cannot be changed. Xishan Academy will inevitably make a comeback in three years, and it will be even more terrifying in the future. God knows how many candidates will take the exam at that time, so the court will always give other scholars some chance.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi's method was very simple. He added fifteen people to tribute students. The imperial court would add as many as the exam for Xishan Academy. In this way, other scholars would not worry about being talented and would not be promoted.

The only shortcoming is that your reputation is not very good. After all, he is Huiyuan, and he may still be the top scorer in the future, the second place, Tanhua, and the first place in the second place. And you are just a tribute student who will be recruited, and in the future, you will probably be awarded the same Jinshi as a Jinshi.

"Your Majesty, if you make up for the recruitment, you will be awarded so many new officials in the future. I am afraid that the time will come..." Although Xie Qian also thought it was good to do this, he had to worry about it.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said, "Now, everything is in trouble. The Ming Dynasty wants to go out to sea and widely promote new grain. I am afraid that there will be a lot of re-entry for officials, so it's okay."

Since this is the case, Xie Qian has nothing to do to continue to object: "I obey the order!"

Emperor Hongzhi breathed comfortably and relaxed. Xishan Academy inadvertently solved a problem in his heart.

He only sighed in his heart that now the prince has Xishan Academy as his team, and I... If it really comes to the day when I can't make a comeback, I think... I'll die without regrets.

Liu Jian was tense for a long time. At this time, he shouldn't be excited. Take a deep breath and don't be anxious. There is also a palace examination.

……………………

Xishan Academy is already very lively.

The court issued an order, and in view of the achievements of Xishan Academy, it cultivated many talents for the court, so it created a stone yard, an ritual gate, and wrote a letter to the outstanding achievements of Xishan Academy.

The Ministry of Works came early and was preparing to start construction.

Outside Xishan Academy, colorful flags were already floating, and countless plaques were hung out.

"The No. 1 Scholar", "The No. 1 Scholar", "Tanhua", and "The Jinshi" golden plaques hung on the courtyard wall of Xishan Academy.

These plaques are all the identities of Ouyang Zhi and others. In addition, the plaque of Xincai has been recently hung to congratulate Liu Jie on his high school education. Congratulations to the next eight disciples on their walls, congratulations to their high school tribute students, and to the top.

Although the other six were also tribute students, there was only one line of small characters: "There are six people, and they are also tribute scholars, and their rankings are not obvious, so the students take it as a warning."

“…”

These six recent tribute students, looking at the four words of "guide" and want to cry.

The six of them were considered to be a loss of adults, becoming a typical example, and a bad student, and also a shame to Xishan Academy. Under these dazzling array of plaques, it seemed particularly inconspicuous.

It's a shame.

It's embarrassing.

But what can they say?

It's my own problem.

If the academic professors are of such a high level, how can my brothers and sisters occupy the top nine? I blame myself for not having enough talent and not working hard enough.

In addition, there are many vacant seats left on this high wall, which are for the future, the first place in this new top scorer, second place, Tanhua and Jinshi.

The entire wall is full of hanging. I am afraid that when I reach the next section, I need to create another wall to hang these plaques specifically.

In this era, if anyone has a sign of a Jinshi, it is really a sign that has passed the ancestral grave. After bragging for a lifetime, even after the death of a Jinshi, he can still brag about his great-grandson.

Things are precious because they are rare, but the opposite is...

At this Xishan Academy, Jinshi and tribute student seem to be not very valuable.

After entering the academy, the academy began to be full of banners, with various framed plaques on them, and they read: "I won't sweat today, and I will beat you to bleeding tomorrow." Or, "If you want to succeed, go crazy first, make up your mind to rush forward", "If you lose your reputation, you might as well die!", "Learn new and get the eight-legged essay exam!"

The words in these plaques are very vulgar, and such vulgar words are posted everywhere, especially in Minglun Hall, which are even hanging everywhere.

But when people walk in, they feel a surge and their blood is boiling.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites and Works who came to build the stone yard were stunned. They were a little surprised that these fifteen tribute students were born like this?

What's even more terrifying is that when they arrived at a warehouse, they found that the paper in the warehouse was piled up like a mountain. When they opened it, they saw that there were dense articles in the bundles of paper. Do these guys...they...do they...do they...do they...do they treat eight-legged essays as a meal?

At this time, Fang Jifan was tilting his head and looking at the plaques, feeling a sense of accomplishment...
