Chapter 70: Cai Jing's evil sons and bad grandsons
Tang Yan walked back to the front desk and was still frightened at the official family, but now facing the prison students, he looked cold and said, "From now on, all prison students must work hard and not slacken. The end of this month is the day of the first exam. If you can't go to the Imperial Academy again, you will be confined and continue to work hard on the weekend."
After saying this, there was a sudden terror. There were holidays in the Song Dynasty, and it was called Xunxu every nine days. It was good if the Taixue School set this rule. They were all poor students and their hometowns were far away, so they wanted to stay in the Taixue School to rest. But the Supervisors were different. The Supervisors' home was in Bianjing City. If they were not allowed to go home on Xunxue, this would be too harsh.
Zhou Heng's face was pale. It was no different from being in jail. He pulled Chen Ao's clothes and said, "Cousin, look, I'm sure you're right. You'll have to pass the poor and poor students in the first exam. That's not to think about it. We can only stay in the Imperial College at that time." He sighed heavily, so sad.
Chen Ao was also very dissatisfied. If you fail to take the imperial examination, you should use the prison student to vent your anger. It’s really too unsatisfactory.
The most important thing is that Chun'er is still on the sickbed now, and he is worried that he will not go back to visit him every now and then.
After Tang Yan threatened, he left angrily, and the other doctors followed him one after another. Today's matter was too sudden and we had to find a solution to it.
When he returned to Chongwen Pavilion, Tang Yan sat down thoughtfully, and the other doctors went around Tang Yan to sit around him. The clerks poured tea. Tang Yan held the tea cover and grinded the tea cup, but did not drink it.
Tang Yan frowned and sighed. His face as the Imperial College Priest was considered to be a big loss. During his tenure as a priest, he has always been the Imperial College overwhelming the Imperial College. Even if he couldn't compare with the Imperial College in the exam, he wouldn't be able to compare with the Imperial College if he wanted to talk about the Holy Family.
But as soon as he took office, he was suppressed by the Imperial College for two consecutive final exams. Now he has lost even the holy family. This is related to the career of thousands of students in the prison. If he does not work hard, he Tang Yan will be the eternal sinner of the Imperial College!
After thinking about it, he coughed, Tang Yan said, "My colleagues, today is a great humiliation at the Imperial College. It is a foregone conclusion that the official family favors the Imperial College. Before leaving, the official family said something, saying that this year's first exam should not be slacked off. Although the official family's words teach us to work hard in the first exam, with the current strength of the Imperial College, how should we suppress the Imperial College?"
The doctors looked at each other, but one of them stood up and stroked their beards and said, "Although the first exam is just a survey, it should not be underestimated. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you start this, you can get a good score in the first exam, which can inspire people and let the official see you differently."
Tang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, if I can no longer let the Imperial College shine in the first exam, I can only resign and see you without any face."
"Just..." Tang Yan smiled bitterly again: "It's not easy to win the Taixue in the first trial? Alas... It's urgent now, what's the use of cramming temporarily? There are too many heroes in the Taixue school. Although the strength of the Imperial College cannot be underestimated, it's a must-win situation, haha..." He smiled bitterly and went to have tea slowly.
Dr. Qin said: "Adults are worried too much. Students generally have excellent grades, while Imperial College has a mixed bag. If you really want to compare, Imperial College will naturally be at a disadvantage. Our top priority is to strive for the top three in the first exam. As long as the top three in the Imperial College can occupy two places, this game will be considered a victory."
Tang Yanhe nodded and said, "When you say this, I remember that there are two supervisors, one is Cai Lun, who is the great-grandson of Grand Master Cai, and what is the other?"
A doctor said, "I call it Wu Bi."
"Yes, it's them. These two people had excellent grades in the final exam last year. Did Dr. Qin mean that they would focus on them? In any case, as long as they were guaranteed to enter the top three, the Imperial College could move back to the next round?"
Dr. Qin said: "That's true. If Tian Ji's horse racing is comprehensively compared, there are few students and many impurities in the Imperial College, he will naturally not be their opponent. However, if you choose two good talents to come out, and guide them carefully in the past few days and strive to enter the third grade, you can ensure the overall situation."
Tang Yan smiled when he stroked his beard, and the haze in his heart finally dispelled a little, saying, "Yes, Dr. Qin's words are thought-provoking, very good."
The mobilization meeting finally came to an end, and the students all dispersed. President Xu arranged for Chen Ao and Zhou Heng to sleep, but the two of them lived not far away, and they arrived in a few steps.
The clerk arranged everything and asked, "Mr. Chen, don't you know what else is going on?"
Chen Ao nodded: "You go."
The place where he lives was a small building with four or five rooms in total, and five prisoners shared it. At this time, a cry came from the downstairs, and someone shouted: "Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng..."
Chen Ao opened the window and saw a few young men shaking their fans shouting towards Zhou Heng's window. Zhou Heng poked his head out of the compartment, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It turns out to be Mr. Cai, haha, Mr. Cai has been very chic recently."
The young man who was shaking the fan laughed and said, "You come down, I haven't looked for you for a long time."
Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Come here." He said that and went downstairs.
Chen Ao asked the clerk: "Who is that Mr. Cai?"
The clerk said: "Young Master Chen doesn't even know that? Mr. Cai is the great-grandson of Mr. Cai. The master retired two years ago, but the sage family has always been very good. Therefore, this Cai family is one of the best families in Bianjing City, and many of the children in the clan are officials. Mr. Cai not only has a good family background, but also has a rare knowledge in the Imperial College."
Chen Ao said oh, and said in his heart that it was Cai Jing's foul grandson. Then he thought that the Duke of Guo took in his master. The most earth-shaking thing that the master had done was to scold Cai Jing. From this, it can be seen that the Duke of Guo and Cai Jing should be in the same power. Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng, you are such a bastard, that is your father's political enemy, you are still chaotic with them. It's so confused.
Even though he thought about it, Chen Ao knew that it was impossible to stop it. Zhou Heng was too wild and could not stop it, so he could only pay attention to him slowly.
Since he joined the Imperial College, Chen Ao has worked hard. This is his personality. Since he has chosen his goal, he must be perfect. This is somewhat similar to the Duke's personality and cannot be flawed.
The doctors went to class peacefully every day, but they were not in a hurry to teach them the meaning of the scriptures, but each sent a book with only one purpose, the Four Books and Five Classics, no matter what method was used, all of these books had to be memorized without missing a word.
Chen Ao didn't complain anymore. In fact, he understood the meaning of the doctor. The Four Books and Five Classics are the basis of the meaning of the classics. There is no shortcut except for rote memorization.
