Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

After returning from the palace, Choi Xie plunged into the secret library.

He had already seen the transcripts of the revisions in the materials of the seminary, and it was very convenient to write them in his mind. He was mixed with Xu University scholars, and wrote three to five hundred words in a day, and the remaining time was spent on historical materials.

Historical materials of foreign tributes in the past dynasties, historical materials of foreign literature and science, historical materials of foreigners travelling thousands of miles to China to study and serve as officials... More importantly, historical materials of grain, poultry, fruits, and vegetables introduced to China in past dynasties.

Although the gifted scholars, books and elite species imported from the Wenhua Hall to persuade the emperor to be impulsive, he did not regret it afterwards.

This is a matter of merit in the present and future generations. No matter how many people impeach him, he will have to do what should be done. Others may fear impeachment by the supervisor and dare not do anything. What is he afraid of? Backed by the old cabinet and the governor, he also befriended the high **** in the palace, and the object was also a member of the Jinyiwei Capital. If he was not a loyal minister, he became the second Liu Mianhua.

How can the name of the moment compare to the **** history that has changed hundreds of years later!

He was busy with this, and he wanted to go home after dark at night. When he arrived at home, he had to discuss with Xie Ying how to make China rise in this era of navigation and cut off the humiliating history of the future. Xie Ying learned some experience from the former three eunuchs' voyages to the West from the family of the **** or the eunuch, and told him as many treasures as possible about the countries and sights that the treasure ship fleet had visited.

He said with a little hope: "It’s too far to go to the West. I’m afraid I don’t have this chance and I’m not willing to go for that long. If only I can go to Japan as a pioneer, even if I can only record the wind direction and ocean currents, wait. It’s good for later generations to take what I wrote down and conquer that country."

Cui Xie was afraid that something might happen to him on the sea in Japan, but he was also quite able to appreciate his desire to go to the east—he wanted to go, too. Zuo Siyou thought for a long time, but he could only say: "If you want to go, I have to go too. Xie Zhenfu goes out to sea. How can we not have Cui Hanlin as the interpretation?"

Anyway, there are still a few folders of ancient Japan and Japan in the Warring States Period in his hard drive. Go to Shii Pavilion to invite a personal tutor. It may not be impossible to learn hard, right?

Xie Ying never thought about making Cui Xie suffer the risks and hardships of going to sea, but seeing that Cui Xie was so reluctant to bear him, she hugged this big baby and coaxed: "Then wait for us to pacify the country of Japan, and their country lord will accept his request When it comes down, please ask Cui Hanlin to send the letter of credence across the sea, and ask them on behalf of the emperor?"

not good. It would be better for the two of them to go out on a boat to participate in this expedition.

Cui Xie buried his face in his arms, took a heavy bite, and muttered: "I think it's the best picture in the comic strip. How can Cui Hanlin separate from Xie Zhenfu?"

Xie Ying felt a sudden pain. She almost reflexively pushed him away, moved manually, and reacted again in her heart. She hurriedly changed the push to press, hugged it a bit tighter, and sighed: "It's fine, let's talk about it then. . I can't bear to leave you with me now."

Cui Xie was so busy that he was struggling with national affairs day and night, and he didn't even have time to see the new talents that Wang Shouren found. In the end, Li Dao personally pulled him out of Curry, and solemnly asked him: "What did you say to the Sage at the Wenhua Hall that day?"

That day, after he persuaded the emperor to seek talents and foreign objects, the emperor Hongzhi pondered for a few days and felt that he had some truth in what he said. On that day, he told the three elders about it.

Daming banned the sea from the Yongle period. After the orthodoxy, even the court stopped sending fleets to sea, and no one in the court dared to mention maritime affairs. As soon as the three of them heard this suggestion, they felt that stakeholders from wealthy coastal households were intervening and asked who said it. The emperor spit out the name and smashed it heavily on the old man Li Ge.

How is his disciple?

Why is his disciple from Qian'an, whose family has nothing to do with Baganzi on the southeast coast?

It seems...he has something to do with Hai. Isn't he fascinated by the comics of Jinyi Weipingwa these days? It is also said that Japan is disrespectful to Daming, looking for someone to measure the hydrology and weather, and find a time to attack its country...

When I think about it, the book I called for talents and wanted books really seems to be related to Pingwa. This idiot is fascinated by not knowing how to draw comics, he wants to squeeze the emperor to build a fleet and navy, step by step to attack Japan!

Old Li Ge thought about his disciple with complicated thoughts, and Xu Pu and Liu Jian stared at him unpredictably.

When he asked his disciples to ask someone to paint "The Story of Wang Yao Niang's Pipa" in the Hanlin Academy, both Xu and Liu were still attending students and teaching bachelors, and of course they knew how he pulled people.

These two have serious temperaments and did not join the team of writers, but for several years they have watched "Jin Yiwei" sparkle in the imperial courtyard, and listened to the part-time authors from simply writing about the cases handled by Jin Yiwei to killing them. , Discuss what kind of fleet can be used to break through sea storms and level Japan...

Cui Xie asked the emperor to ask for overseas talents. Isn't it really for Pingwa to prepare?

He had this idea, was it really not taught by the teacher?

The two elders forced Li Dongyang after Xiaochao and asked him if he meant to go to sea to fight against Japanese wives.

Teacher Li was wronged.

Teacher Li never thought about raising a million soldiers to pacify the Japanese nation. When Cui Xie told him about his ideals, he also advised Cui Xie not to worry, and wait until he became the first assistant. Admonitions were all done by this disciple on his own initiative. Who can blame?

Of course the teacher must be blamed.

Daming's identities as teachers and students are like father and son, and the teacher has to bear some responsibility for what the disciple does outside.

Teacher Li worried that Cui Xie would be on the cusp of destroying Japan on impulse, so he came to him personally and asked him if he was preparing for Seiwa.

Cui Xie said in surprise, "Huh?"

He is preparing for the globalization of Ming Dynasty and catching up with the first industrial revolution. Could it be that the emperor made the wrong words when discussing with the cabinet, and what caused the misunderstanding?

He quickly explained: "The teacher misunderstood! How dare the disciples act against his teacher and persuade the emperor to send troops to attack Japan? That day, his Majesty called me to ask about the new farming methods, and he took soybean flowers to watch and asked me how I could be in good faith I have two methods of looking closely at everything and broadening my knowledge. The only way to ask for a good seed from a foreign land is that your majesty never asked. I saw that your majesty is devoted to farming and wanted to feed the people of Ming Dynasty, so I added it myself."

Teacher Li snorted coldly: "When did you have a natural sense, why didn't you write an article? Tell me the truth, are you calling for talents who understand naval warfare and books about shipbuilding? The so-called exotic breeds are really not named good breeds, but they actually require people to get treasures, Japanese swords, gold and silver deposits?"

Not really. He didn't think of so much at that time, but Teacher Li was thoughtful.

Cui Xie didn't dare to praise the teacher, because he was afraid of exaggerating the teacher, so he honestly explained the information he had read these days. There are the Tianzhu calendar brought by the Buddha's entrance to China, the various algorithms brought by the Semu people used in the Yuan Dynasty, the list of barbarians who have held official positions in China since the Han Dynasty, and food imported from foreign land.

Mathematics, Mr. Li is not very interested, but Cui Xie put watermelon, cucumber, eggplant, lentils, taro, radish, garlic, spinach on the paper, he immediately understood that Cui Xie thought. The intention to introduce foreign varieties.

So many delicious foods are imported from foreign countries. I want to come to other countries to have more food, vegetables and fruits, and even have extremely high yields, which can save the time. If good seeds can be found and promoted among the people... it is not a bad thing.

Cui Xie said sincerely: "The disciples do not need to build ships and go to sea, let alone the major issue of sea prohibition. Since it is beneficial to the country and harmless, the disciples must go to sea."

While he wrote about killing locusts, he also wrote memorials about inviting talents, asking for books, and looking for improved seeds. Since the imperial prelude was correct last time, let him know that the emperor Hongzhi loves to see dry goods and pictures, he did not deliberately delete the data, just to keep these bright advantages for people to see.

Li Xueshi saw the disciple's memorial in the pavilion, so he showed it to Xu and Liu Er, and said, "This is also an article with a heart for the country. The two scholars have a closer look."

The two bachelors read it carefully, and saw that it did not violate the Ming ancestor system and wasted the treasury's money. There was only a desire to study the laws of nature and save the people. They both relaxed and criticized them.

The cabinet didn't stop it any more, and the emperor looked at it according to his heart.

Cui Hezhong left Beijing for five years. Once he came back, he persuaded the emperor to ask for handsome figures and scholarly books from foreign nations, and a heated discussion in Beijing suddenly started——

There are so many talents in China, who won’t be able to rank among the top officials. Only one-third of the new jinshi candidates are in Beijing, and the remaining two-thirds have to go back to their hometowns to depend on relatives. What do foreigners do? Neo-Confucianism is authentic knowledge. It is enough for the emperor to listen to the masters of Neo-Confucianism every day. Why bother to ask for books from other places?

When the emperor gave the edict, he used his own money to offer a reward, and neither the Ministry of Households nor the Metropolitan Procuratorate came out to oppose it. The comments made by these little officials and scholars were even more useless. However, there are also a few newly admitted scholars who are extremely lucky to have the opportunity to see and persuade themselves to follow this memorandum, so that the emperor will ask the foreigners for the classics of domestic talents.

Within ten days of the edict, Li Mengyang, Bian Gong, and Wang Jiusi all received a post from the Hanlin servant talking about Cui Xie and went to the Cui Mansion with Wang Shouren.

These are all high-spirited young scholars. Bian Gong is the youngest, only twenty-two; Wang Shouren is about the same as Li Mengyang, exactly twenty-six or seven years old; the oldest is Wang Jiusi, who is already in his prime. Most men in the Ming Dynasty did not grow beards when they were young, and they did not grow beards until they were 30 years old. Apart from Wang Jiusi who had a short mustache, all of them were young white-faced scholars.

Such a young, handsome and talented person naturally has enough capital to look down upon the crowd.

However, these prides have to be discounted in front of Choi Xie.

Because Cui Xie is the champion, he still wins both the examination and the palace examination. When it comes to the scientific examination results, except for Wang Shouren, the sixth-year champion of Hongzhi, he has to bow his head in front of him. Moreover, this Cui Zhuangyuan was in the twenty-three years of Chenghua's mid-test. Although he was only 29 years old, he was not as old as Wang Jiusi, and he entered the dynasty six to nine years earlier than them. He was considered a highly qualified senior.

Not only that, but this senior was born with Wen Wenshaoxiu, gentle and elegant, and his demeanor and appearance are even better than them.

Although the three young officials and Shu Jishi came here with a bit of controversy, after seeing the master, they calmed down a bit.

Cui Xie treated them with the same gentle and comfortable attitude, and asked them to sit down in the hall and ask them to bring refreshments.

Although he treats guests at home, he still uses a few family members, and he asks people to order and buy food from outside, which saves the trouble of making it.

The tea is the jasmine tea from the Qingcha shop, and the desserts are the rice cakes, steamed double skin milk, and nut fillings from those shops. Li Mengyang felt kind after taking a bite, and asked, "The taste of this tea snack is the same as the one at the Qingcha shop outside the house. Don't you want adults to like it too?"

Cui Xie smiled and said: "There are few people in the family, and it is more troublesome to eat. There is such a shop right next to the street, so I asked people to buy it from there. You guys don't mind."

Although the four of them are located at the three yamen of Taichang Temple, Hubu, and Hanlinyuan, there is a small tea shop at the door. These refreshments are delicious and cheap. They are used to eating them. There is nothing to fault. On the contrary, they feel that Cui Xie's cleanliness is the attitude they should have.

But why should he persuade the sage to get close to the characters and doctrines of small foreign nations?

Li Mengyang couldn't help asking: "I'm waiting to hear that recently the imperial court issued an edict to solicit overseas talents and scholarships. Did Master Cui Umoto persuade the sage?"

Huh, huh? Didn’t these guys come to write manga scripts?

Cui Xie couldn't help but glance at Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren looked back at him a little, and nodded at him with confidence.

Although they weren't originally for writing and painting, as long as they sit in front of Cui Xie for a while, Saint Wang believes that even the iron stone man can make him turn around.
