  Chapter 151 The core of the second volume (ask for a monthly pass for the second update!)

  The feast is set.

  Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi left, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

  Especially after Guan Yingzhen revealed to Wang Yongguang the difference in attitude between Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi in a very cryptic manner, Wang Yongguang became even more determined that Chongzheng Academy must also follow the trend.

  Even without this turmoil, Chongzheng Academy could not have been unaware of the changes in Tonghui Academy. The meaning of Tonghui Academy, which is closely related to Long Jinwei, actually conveyed some intentions of the emperor.

Excited students were lively all night long. At this time, the strict discipline of the academy seemed to be ineffective. However, Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen are not rigid and dogmatic people. As long as the behavior of the students is not too outrageous, they will not interfere. .

  Chen Qiyu and Fang Youdu are undoubtedly the most proud two in the house. In the three debates, the West Garden won 2-1, but the East Garden was defeated.

   No one cares about that anymore, they care more about their own performance.

   Both Chen Qiyu and Fang Youdu performed well, especially Fang Youdu.

  For him, such an opportunity is once in a lifetime. He has realized the opportunity to show himself in front of the great sages and outstanding students from several academies, or in other words, he has become famous, although this name still seems a bit nihilistic.

After the glory, we still have to return to reality. This grand event only enhanced the reputation of Qingtan Academy and laid the foundation for attracting more outstanding students next year. The next step is Chunwei, that is the real touchstone.

  Feng Ziying thought silently when she saw Fang Youdu walking towards her with a red face.

  Fang Youdu is really grateful to Feng Ziying.

  He felt that he had lived for more than ten years, and there might be two things that would bring great changes to his destiny. The first was to enter Qingtan Academy, and the second was to participate in this round of debate competition.

   Needless to say, entering Qingtan Academy, the whole county was shocked by it, and the whole family almost watched him embark on the journey to the north with eyes full of affection and hope.

  Eleven taels of silver and eight hundred and five copper coins. This will be all his expenses for three years until Qiuwei, and it is also what the old father got after he brazenly sold the only two acres of paddy fields at home, and gave it all to himself.

  This sustenance made him feel pressured.

  He has to stand out, if Qiu Wei fails to pass the exam, he doesn't even know how to face his family.

  From She County to the capital, he did not dare to go by land, but took a boat from the Yangtze River and entered Beijing along the canal.

  Wash and clean the cabins for the boatmen along the way, so as to save money to the greatest extent.

  When he arrived in the capital, eleven taels of silver were still there, and only three hundred and twenty-seven taels of 805 copper coins were left. For a whole month and a half, many thick calluses had been added to his hands.

  In the past three years, he has no plan to return to his hometown. He has neither time nor energy, nor enough money. After this year, even if he is frugal, he has already spent two taels of silver.

  Qingtan Academy is poor and frugal, but the necessary expenses will not be small, such as pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and some necessary books and scriptures are indispensable.

   Fang Youdu thinks all these efforts are worth it, as long as he can pass the exam in the autumn of the next year, even if he can't pass in the spring, he can even wait another ten or eight years.

  Because as long as you win the Juren, your destiny has changed. As for wanting to be a Jinshi, it is more a struggle for your own destiny.

But no one can be sure that he will be able to pass Qiuwei. If he can't pass, Fang Youdu wonders if he has the ability to stay and study for another three years. A seat for a school teacher to supplement the family.

  The imminent and huge pressure kept Fang Youdu in a state of physical and mental exhaustion, so when Feng Ziying appeared in the academy, he hated it extremely.

  Why do these noble children who live a carefree life still come to the academy to study? Even though Feng Ziying's extra effort and self-discipline changed Fang Youdu's perception, deep in his heart he still had strong resistance.

  All this until Feng Ziying came up with the idea of ​​such a debate contest, and also strongly recommended him to participate in the preliminaries and finally entered the East Garden Five.

  Fang Youdu felt that God favored him twice.

Not only the reputation brought by the debate competition, but more importantly, he realized that this is the academy's targeted preparation for Xiake Qiuwei's current policy theory, which means that Qiuwei Chinese-style academy has a greater advantage up.

With such a round of competition experience, even if he really didn't pass Qiu Wei, Fang Youdu felt that he had a high chance of being able to stay and participate in the next subject Qiu Wei, and even if he couldn't stay in Qingtan Academy, he was sure Go to an academy like Chongzheng or Tonghui to study for three years.

   "Uncle Fang, what's the matter?" Seeing the excitement in Fang Youdu's eyes and some hidden things, Feng Ziying could probably feel it.

  He has too many experiences in his past and present lives. Even though he has gradually adapted to his current identity and role, many things in his previous life are gradually being forgotten, but many things have become subconscious intuitions.

   "Uh, it's nothing, Ziying, thank you." Fang Youdu took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to express it.

"Uncle Fang, we are classmates. Isn't it a little strange to say these things? Besides, I didn't do anything." Feng Ziying smiled lightly, and put one hand on the other's shoulder: "Don't think so much, let's talk, really If you want to thank the head of the mountain, the head of the courtyard, and the younger brother, how about waiting until Uncle Fang, you come after your Qiuwei Chinese style?"

  Fang Youdu didn't say much anymore, he just hugged Feng Ziying's shoulders tightly and tightened, "If you need help from brother Yu, just say it."

   "Of course, my classics are shallow. As we all know, I have to rely on the help of our classmates in the same dormitory for the past two years. Neither you nor Huchen can escape."

Of the few people in this dormitory, Xu Qixun and Fang Youdu, two classmates from Jiangnan, have the deepest foundation in classics and righteousness. Will "let go" of the two.

Chen Qiyu was also discussing something with Fu Zonglong, and turned his head, "Ziying, I can't help you much, I have to work harder myself, by the way, Zhong Lun is saying, if we want to In this kind of debate, the management of mountainous areas in the border areas of Yunnan and Guizhou can actually be included, but it will be a little more troublesome to find news related to this aspect.”

  Obviously this time the debate competition made Chen Qiyu feel a lot more motivated, and Fu Zonglong also realized the mistake he had made in not participating, and began to make up for it.

"The head of the mountain and the head of the hospital must be able to find some previous relevant residence reports, but they may not be what we need. It must go through a lot of screening, but this can be a direction." Feng Ziying smiled, "Why, Zhong Lun still Are you more interested in the situation in your hometown?"

"Well, I always feel that sooner or later there will be problems with us. Before I came to study, I heard that the Xuanweisi in Banzhou, Shuixi, and Yongning are like independent kingdoms. There are constant conflicts with surrounding places, and they are becoming more and more serious. Ziying also mentioned this a few days ago, and I have been thinking that the imperial court cannot continue to tolerate and indulge traitors in this way. Sooner or later, this serious problem will be solved. Can we do something about it now? Discussion is also an attempt."

"Zhong Lun, think far-reaching." Of course Feng Ziying will not dampen the other party's enthusiasm, "You can talk to the head of the mountain and the hospital to include this aspect. According to the wishes of the head of the mountain and the hospital, we have gone through more than one year this time. It's nearly two months of preparation, but it's still too rough. Many problems are just scratched. It is completely feasible to start collecting relevant information now and treat it as a big problem.”

  The only memories I can still recall, it seems that there have been a lot of troubles on the timeline of Yunguichuan.

   It’s just that it’s not clear if the Ming Dynasty has become the Great Zhou Dynasty. Has this pattern changed for the better or worse, or has it remained the same? But Feng Ziying tends that even if there is a change, it may not be big, or it may all change for the worse.

  Receiving Feng Ziying's support and encouragement, Fu Zonglong also waved his hand vigorously, as if he had received great affirmation.

   This kind of change was formed unconsciously. Chen Qiyu and Fu Zonglong, who were the most unconvinced in the past, gradually accepted this result, and the others naturally stopped mentioning it.

  Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng have gradually included Feng Ziying as the leadership of the entire East Garden, and they have to ask for his opinions on many issues, but many people have not really realized this situation.

  Feng Ziying knows her own affairs, so it's time to rest.

  This grand event is too popular, and there will definitely be a lot of troubles in the follow-up, and Lian Guoshi also reminded him that it is time to calm down and study hard, and it is more appropriate to leave other things to others.

  I have gotten too many things.

  As for the vacation promised by the Guanzhangyuan, let’s endure it. There will be plenty of time in the future, and there is still one month until the Bingwu year. Wouldn’t it be good to have a rest together during the spring vacation?

  ********

   "Your Majesty, I didn't handle this matter well,..."

"Zhang Qing, needless to say, I don't blame Qing for this matter." With a glint of cold eyes, Emperor Yonglong glanced at his son who was already shivering like a chicken in the cold wind, and forced himself to suppress it. Hold back your anger.

I really don't blame Zhang Jingqiu, it was my decision to let Gu Bingqian go, but I didn't expect this guy to be so unbearable, and my son didn't have much experience in this kind of thing, so it was really hard for him, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to change someone else on that occasion the same.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be upset. I think this matter may not be a bad thing. Well, of course, the morning incident is not counted. His Highness Shou Wang also talked with me about the situation in the afternoon before outside the palace. I think this may be a sign." Zhang Jingqiu's eyes are like an ancient well, but his words are full of meaning, "Qi Yongtai, Guan Yingzhen, and Chongzheng Academy, maybe it's time."

   "Oh?" Emperor Yonglong lifted his spirits, "Please tell me, sir."

"Actually, Your Majesty has also seen it, so why bother to tell the truth?" Zhang Jingqiu laughed, "His Royal Highness Shou Wang has done a very good job, and he has persisted until the end. Tang Binyin, a jumping clown, just sold the first bid, Of course, if this guy has other plans, that's another matter, if that's the case, I will all admire this guy's courage."

  Emperor Yonglong understood a little bit, but he still didn't understand. He waved his hand, "King Shou, go down."

   As if granted an amnesty, King Shou standing aside gave Zhang Jingqiu a grateful glance, bowed again, and quickly retreated.

"Qi Yongtai is very quiet and wants to move. I am afraid that he wants to do something. This minister thinks it is a good thing. Let's see how His Majesty allows him to use him." Zhang Jingqiu's tone became sharper, "Tang Binyin is not worth mentioning. Although this person is knowledgeable, but Uncertain temperament, it is difficult to become a great tool, if it can be used by His Majesty, it is naturally a good thing, if not, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, the general situation is on His Majesty's side, and Prince Yizhong may benefit temporarily by doing this, but in the long run, If it is so powerful, how will the Supreme Emperor see it?..."

Emperor Yonglong waved his hand, "Zhang Qing, I know what you mean, but I won't always be like this. Presumably many people don't like me like this, and it will disappoint many people. Since I am in this position, I can't be like my elder brother." Playing some low-level tricks, you really have to do things upright."

  Zhang Jingqiu raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty has decided?"

"I have already made up my mind, but I have never wanted to disobey my father's intentions. My father has always thought that my character is too rigid. I hope to change this impression of my father, but now it seems that I have become someone An excuse to be aggressive,…”

  Emperor Yonglong's expression became a little contemptuous.

  Although he is very disdainful of the big brother's various tricks, it doesn't mean that he will underestimate the carelessness.

  According to the news from Ningshou Palace, Father seems to be dissatisfied with elder brother's behavior, but he didn't say much.

If this situation is allowed to go on, maybe the royal father will have other ideas, so the most difficult thing is to control the speed, not only to fight back appropriately, but not to make the royal father feel that he is too violent, and may even have other ideas. .

   Otherwise, sitting in this position, even if you can't deal with this method, then you should really move your position.

   It’s almost 4,000 words, I’m asking for a monthly ticket, it seems to add up to 10,000 words today!
