Qingchuan History

Chapter 787 Zhonggong Policy Question
Since the law of imperial examinations was proposed by the Kingdom of Yin several decades ago, and then all countries have followed suit, ranging from two dynasties to three dynasties, it has never been steadily implemented; The development is not smooth, let alone stand out from the encirclement of the family and become the humerus of the country.

Therefore, the matter of the scientific examination itself is not taken seriously in Qingchuan, and no one cares about the details of the classics and meanings.

But this time a woman entered the room.

And from the beginning of the proposal until the two days before the test, there were frequent disturbances.

It also made the public look at Cangwu—mainly scholars from all over the world. The original intention was to see if Jing Tingge could really make an official career.

However, he was surprised to learn about the subject of the scriptures this time, and he was as surprised as Wei Guoyangyang's candidates.

Ruan Xueyin heard that people were washing the sand.

Xiao Ai rushed in with her skirt in hand, and was surprised to see that the person sitting cross-legged on the north side was arranging the books before the case, not Mrs. Yu, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"I'm free today, so I came over to teach a class, which just ended." Ruan Xueyin looked up, and saw that the other party was kneeling solemnly, but inexplicably disturbed, "What's wrong?"

"Go back to Your Highness, it's all right. But I heard a few gossips outside and thought it was interesting, so I thought about going into the room to talk to everyone. Unexpectedly, Feng came and collided. Your Highness forgives the sin."

Ji Wanling discussed matters with Xue Ruji and Guo Baoxin who arrived earlier.She was supposed to be looking for them.

"I can't wait for any gossip, let me tell you about it."

In late September, the heat is still lingering, and Ruan Xueyin is wearing a Haitianxia silk embroidered phoenix skirt today. The phoenix tail is embroidered in a freehand way, and the tail of the phoenix is ​​wrapped around the clouds;

It is full of elegance, which is different from the luxury and luxury that the palace has always sought; but it is not detrimental to the majesty. I don't know whether it is because of the dress, the name, or the change of the Queen's Highness—Xiao Yan always feels that she is more intimidating than before, and Minghui under the deep water is gradually becoming sharper.

"The other side of Cangwu is related to the examination. Your Highness is always by your side, so I'm afraid you all know about it."

Don't want to say or dare not say?Ruan Xueyin dabbled around and looked at her.

The eyes were clear and clear, but Xiao Yan couldn't stand the coercion, "It's a topic of scriptures and righteousness. The journey of the great road is also, the world is for the public."

Ruan Xueyin's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm, she said "Oh", "You just said it was interesting. Where is it interesting?"

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. "Returning to Your Highness, this sentence, not to mention scholars in the world, I am no stranger to women in the boudoir, really,"

She probably felt that she couldn't express clearly and stuttered.

"It's really nothing difficult, you can answer with your mouth open." Ruan Xueyin helped connect.

"Yes." Xiao Yan quickly replied, and immediately felt uncomfortable, "No."

"If you are an examinee, how are you going to answer?" Ruan Xueyin didn't seem to see the other party's embarrassment at all, she lowered her head and continued to organize the books on the case, her words were idle, but she stopped at the end of each sentence.

Xiao Yan twisted his hands and bit his lips, his brows were wrinkled, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure on the west side of Her Highness the Queen, behind the side door.

She heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately heard Xue Ru send out: "Although A'an hangs out in the sand every day, he is not the master who has read thousands of books. If His Highness asks any more, she will faint."

The rhyme skills of Xue Ruji's speech often reminded Ruan Xueyin of the Shangguan's concubine back then—it was as if they had practiced painstakingly for many years, and they were clearly deliberate, just to be useful.

Its voice floated to the front from the side, and the owner of the voice bowed steadily, very respectfully and decently: "Greetings to the Queen, Your Highness is blessed and golden."

Standing by the side door is the familiarity of the women's class in the joint camp. Now in the hall is the awe of the women's family members for the middle palace. The two rounds show both affection and courtesy, Xue Ruji's kung fu.

"I met you before today's class, and I want you to perform such a grand ceremony again." Ruan Xueyin raised her head and smiled, "Is everything settled?"

"Yes. I'm here to invite His Highness to come back and listen to the arrangement of autumn and winter classes."

Women's classes start in spring, and the students range from six to seven years old to sixteen or seventeen. In Jidu Taosha Hall, the number of daughters from poor families and noble families is almost [-]-[-]. In autumn, when the farming is busy, girls from poor families have to go home to help , classes will be suspended in September, and will resume in mid-October. The teaching arrangement that is currently being discussed is just for this festival.

"I mean, although nearly half of the students have taken leave during this period, the remaining half shouldn't just go to waste. The so-called time is worth every inch of gold." It was Ji Wanling who started the conversation, because Ruan Xueyin clearly ordered that when discussing female classes, there is no need to talk too much about respect and etiquette , She also has less scruples about her self-proclaimed, "September and October, when the autumn is breezy, it is time to work hard."

Before she could finish speaking, she paid attention to Ruan Xueyin's expression, and added: "Of course, it's up to His Highness to decide."

Ruan Xueyin flipped through the pages on the table, which were the records of recent lectures, and nodded without raising her eyes: "It's just right to be diligent, how to be diligent, you continue to talk."

Everyone looked at each other and supported Ji Wanling.

The latter continued: "There will be no classes, and everything will continue as usual. As for those who are on leave, arrange the books to be read and the notes to be completed. When you return in October, you will not be too far behind."

Ruan Xueyin finally raised her eyes and walked around the room, "You all agree?"

Xue, Guo, and Xiao all nodded lightly.

"I can learn a lot in one month. Nearly half of the students in the library are free. It's a pity to stop here." Xue Ruji added.

In fact, ordinary schools are divided into disciplines, except for the six arts and the subsets of classics and history.In order to win the support of the imperial court when the women's class first emerged, more emphasis was placed on women's skills, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the ordinary school, that is, the study of scholars, was placed on the edge, which was considered a deception—Ruan Xueyin's final idea was naturally to be Women and men read the same books and get the same opportunities, but as Gu Xinglang warned: it must be done step by step.

For various considerations.

Checking the teaching records of nearly half a month today, this process was actually brought forward.At the moment, everyone is focused on advancing and is unwilling to delay a month's work, which is more active than her, the instigator.

"Inappropriate." Ruan Xueyin replied bluntly, "The original intention of the women's class was to benefit the common people. Due to the gathering of high-ranking families and the large number of noble women in Jidu, the number of students from noble families and poor families in the library was divided in half. Now due to autumn Busy, those who ask for leave are all daughters of poor families, but the classes don’t stop, isn’t it fair and unfair? Besides, the situation in Jidu is special, and if they are sent to other cities and counties, [-]% of the people who ask for leave may take up the leave, so continuing to take classes will cost a lot.”

Several people listened, all silent.

Ruan Xueyin laughed, "And this month, don't you want to go to enjoy the autumn?" The daughter of the poor family went home to collect food, and Miss Gaomen went on a car trip, and she felt embarrassed when she told it, "The autumn hunting is on schedule. Now, the uncles of all families, regardless of whether they are civil servants or military generals, will go to Xiling according to the order. Ah Yan and Baoxin have never been there before, have they?"

These two didn't live in Jidu in the past.

"I haven't been there either." Xue Ruji smiled upon hearing the words, "It's been so many years, and I haven't even touched my elder brother's glory once."

Before Xue Zhan was stationed in Qixi, he often went there.And Xue Ruji is a concubine, and the relationship between brother and sister is about Moer.

"So," Ruan Xueyin said briskly, "Teachers must take a rest, this month's autumn vacation is settled." He looked down at the record book in his hand, "Recently, there are a lot of lectures, and it's still "Book of Rites". "

Ji Wanling should be.

Ruan Xueyin raised her head again, "I remember reading this month's lecture plan at the end of last month, and there wasn't so much content on classics and history."

"It's their request." Ji Wanling smiled, "Misses of noble families can practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, and the rest of the girls think that studying classics and history is more cost-effective." And because Wei Guo held a conference exam, Mr. Jing must be on the list. Recently, everyone is particularly interested in learning."

Ruan Xueyin nodded, "Just now I heard A'an talk about the topic of Wei's National Examination. It comes from "Book of Rites" and "Li Yun Datong Chapter."

Ji Wanling was taken aback, Xiao Ai was quite embarrassed.Ruan Xueyin looked at Xue Ruji, "It's the scriptures, just tell the truth. She won't answer, so come here."

She smiled, and her words sounded like a joke, making Xue Ru feel ashamed, "Queen, don't make fun of me! My concubine is a concubine from a general's family. She has heard a lot of things, and she is not famous for her words."

"In terms of book talent, we still have to look at Madam Yu and Baoxin." Ruan Xueyin smiled and forgave, but it must mean that someone should answer the question.

However, these two were in the backyard from the beginning to the end, and didn't hear the whole story at all.

Xiao Yan followed Yizhi and repeated that sentence again.

"Bao Xin has little knowledge, and I personally think that since the meaning of the scriptures is to clarify the truth, then the truth of this sentence is in the original text. The journey of the great way is also, the world is for the public, choose the virtuous and capable, and trust and cultivate harmony. Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives."

She recited the whole passage in one breath, and Ruan Xueyin smiled at Ji Wanling, "You can't recite the original interpretation when teaching people, there must always be an explanation from the teacher. How to teach this passage, I haven't even thought about it."

The implication is to listen to what Ji Wanling teaches.

"I haven't talked about "Li Yun" yet, and my concubines have not thought about it. As your Highness knows, the first "Qu Li" is extremely long and complicated. In the past half a month or so, there are other classes besides classics and history. Read about it."

Ruan Xueyin didn't push her anymore, and thought for a moment and said: "Just now I said that the original intention of the women's class is to benefit the people, with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine, flower tea as the main focus, and a collection of classics and history as a supplement. I see that the records in this book have gone a little bit wrong recently. , we still have to go back to the right path. Later," she raised her eyelashes and looked out,
"If there is any change in the teaching plan, it must be reported as soon as possible. After all, at the end of each month, I have to report to you with you."

Several people could hear the meaning of blame, their faces were terrified, and they bowed their heads to obey the order.

"Since you are reading "Book of Rites", let's start from the beginning, and use it for the next lessons of classics. "Qu Li" and "Tan Gong" are both long, and each takes about a month. After that, it is best to only use it in one month Read one." The so-called sub-collection of classics and history is supplemented, "I remember that "Li Yun" is the seventh chapter, so it is, four months later." She turned to Ji Wanling,
"In addition to taking a rest this month, it will be five months later. In April next year, Mrs. Yu, please call everyone together to define the lecture notes before the lecture."
