Prime Minister

Chapter 635
Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng knew that although the edict had not yet been issued, it was already known throughout the court.

Knowing Zhigao at the age of 26, comparable to Su Yijian, can be called a good story.

Although it is said that Zhizhigao is a certainty, but there is a lot of debate about the exemption from the examination of the Academy of Sciences.

The government intends to exempt Zhang Yue, but Zhang Hengzhi made the Imperial College Examination, Sima Guang, and Fan Zhen insisted that it was inevitable.

Sima Guang said: "Zhang Yue has never served as a magistrate, and Zhang Heng has never studied daily life notes. Now, if you don't try and order a patent, people will not accept it, and it is not the intention of cultivating and employing people."

The officials listened to Sima Guang's words and immediately allowed him to play.

Chen Yaozuo, Yang Yi, and Ouyang Xiu were appointed in the previous edict without passing the examination of the Academy of Sciences.

These three people are all talented and outstanding at the same time, so with their talents, they have obtained the qualification to die without the test, which is regarded as a first-class honor by the officials.

Zhang Yue knows that the officials are deliberately cultivating themselves and trusting them.Dayouzhang Yue is my man, why can't he be comparable to Ouyang Xiu and Yang Yi.Zhang Yue also understood that Sima Guang was not stuck with himself, but the rules.

There are no more than 50 officials in the imperial court who know how to make the edict, how can it be granted lightly, so it must be deliberated by the officials and ministers, and finally checked again and again.

Zhang Yue still experienced a lot of twists and turns, but every time he passed the assessment, it was also a training for himself.

On this day, Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng went to the Academy for exams.

The weather was fine that day, and the city of Bianjing was bustling and busy.

When Zhang Yue rode his horse to the palace, he remembered that he, Shi Brown, had gone to the academy to take a job in the examination hall of the academy. Since then, his official career has been a step ahead.

It was almost eight years ago, my own age.

Zhang Yue went to get the decree and then walked to the academy, and then met Zhang Heng in the academy.But seeing Zhang Heng with one hand behind his back, his whole body was bathed in the morning light.

"Why don't you go in?"

Zhang Heng turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Yue who smiled and said, "I think of many things in the past, do you still remember the days when you were at Nanfeng Temple in Pucheng?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I don't really remember."

Zhang Heng said: "I know it very well, not only mine, I remember that you were not qualified to listen to lectures, but every time you are the most diligent, because you are not a formal disciple, so every time you wait until others have finished asking, and then ask Mr. Ask a question. The clothes I wear are also the simplest, but every time I go in and out, I put the shoes neatly in a corner far away, not side by side with me. Every time I see those dazzling old shoes, I know it is you. "

Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this, he didn't expect that he was so much attention at that time.

Now thinking about it, he just smiled and said, "Really? I don't care what other people think of me. I just remember that my knowledge is too shallow, and I have to study day and night."

Zhang Heng said with emotion: "Yes, now that I think about it, this is also your strength. I am surrounded by a group of classmates in fine clothes and fine clothes, and I don't feel narrow-minded. I just wish I could exhaust my knowledge."

Zhang Yue said: "Chief Zhai, you are too famous. I didn't think so much at the time."

Zhang Heng patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder and said, "Yes, it's not a fluke that you have today."

Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "Master Zhai, what you said is wrong. There are people who are smarter than me, and there are people who are harder than me. Is it not a fluke that I am today?"

"I don't believe that any great mission from heaven must be exhausting. It's just that if it comes, I will be safe. If I can, I would prefer to study in a well-clothed and well-fed place. It's just that I have to do it at that time. Therefore, I will not move myself and say The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Bitter cold is bitter cold, without bitter cold, plum blossoms will also be fragrant."

Zhang Heng said: "This is refreshing."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, the same is true of my reform of Taixue now. I have a great wish, so that all students in the world can afford to study and no longer suffer from my original suffering. Instead of using my original things as encouragement They, encourage them to persevere. It is wrong to say such things for officials.”

"well said!"

While talking, he saw the courtyard door opened, and Sima Guang and Fan Zhen walked out.

Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng hurriedly saluted the two of them.

Fan Zhendao: "I remember that Duzhi was the Emperor Wenzong of the time. He was addicted to learning when he was young. His family was poor and he couldn't write books to read. He always borrowed books from his home..."

"I read this article with sincerity. Sima and I were both moved by it at the time. I don't know which scholar did it. Later, when Du won the first prize, we suddenly realized it. Now that we have heard Duzhi's words, we know that we have lived up to it." The ambition we made back then."

Sima Guang nodded slightly and said, "Of course."

Zhang Yue said: "I am ashamed to speak nonsense in front of the two scholars."

Sima Guangdao: "A job outside the system goes in and out to serve Zhizhi, write imperial decrees and Lunyin, so as to show talents, they will join our generation sooner or later, but the selection of talents must be cautious, so there is a reason to try the Academy of Sciences."

"At the beginning, Mr. Ouyang died without trying. I didn't take it seriously. Killing without trying is easy to make people lose respect. I don't know how hard it is to get it. I always thought that the exam was the fairest thing in the world. It's better than you to curry favor and flatter me. Exams are the easiest thing to do without success.”

"The reason why I insisted on letting you try the academy is to sharpen it. Studying is to cultivate more talents, but cultivating more talents is to sharpen it. Only in this way can we select truly outstanding people."

Zhang Yue said: "Jade can't be made into a weapon if you don't cut it, the next official understands."

Sima Guang said: "It's good if you understand it, Duke Fan and I have high hopes for you."

After speaking, the two stepped aside and opened the door, and Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng entered.

The two sat at a table each, and then several eunuchs stood outside the door, which was closed again.

Sima Guang and Fan Zhen solemnly handed over the drafted topic to Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng.

The more the chapter is read, it is just a policy theory, and there is nothing particularly embarrassing about it.

Zhang Yue wrote with a pen. He said that from studying to becoming an official, he has gone through countless exams, but now this is his last exam.

It has been a long time since Zhang Yue made such a big policy theory, so he wrote it very slowly and seriously.

I don't know why, halfway through writing, I always think of the hardships of the exams when I was studying in the past. This made Zhang Yue distracted in the exams many times, suddenly stopped writing, and finally concentrated on writing again.

In the end, it took about an hour before Zhang Yue just finished writing the paper, while Zhang Heng had finished writing it long ago, but was looking at himself with a smile.

This exam was difficult for Zhang Yue, but he felt reluctance in his heart.

For a top candidate in the exam, Zhang Yue has mixed feelings, and now he can go straight to the sky thanks to this pen and paper.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue took a deep breath and handed over the article to Sima Guang and Fan Zhen.

Sima Guang said earnestly to Zhang Yue: "Duzhi, the article is the backbone and bones of the scholar. If the article is established, the person will be established. If the person is established, the article will be established. Don't forget!"

Zhang Yue bowed solemnly to Sima Guang, "Your Majesty, remember this."

Finally Sima Guang and Fan Zhen smiled, Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng also smiled.

After the examiner and the examinee met each other again, Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng left the academy.

Sima Guang watched Zhang Yue leave the academy and said: "Fan Gong, there are talents from generation to generation, why should I worry about waiting, just let go as soon as possible!"
