During this journey, Emperor Hongzhi was tired and exhausted, but looking around, there was no family studying. www.xinwanben.com

Emperor Hongzhi's face darkened.

Looking back at Fang Jifan, who was profusely sweating, Fang Jifan coughed, but remained silent.

On the contrary, Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, most of the people in the neighborhood here are vulgar, although they can barely have food and clothing, but they don't know... etiquette, Your Majesty, we don't... don't have to go on."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, but suddenly smiled: "Why don't you take a look more? It's good to have a look, let's go, let's continue to look."

He actually turned around another neighborhood and asked Xiao Jing to inquire.

This road has stabilized, and it is still disappointing.

Emperor Hongzhi heaved a sigh of relief, but remained silent, but suddenly asked Fang Jifan, "Jifan, this is where the prefecture is located, but in my opinion, ordinary people seem to be reluctant to study, but I don't know why. It is said that the literary style of this place is at its peak. , but I can’t see it at all.”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt dull.

Then he waved his hand: "Go to the magistrate's yamen, Xiao Jing, you go to the magistrate's yamen to pass it on first."

Xiao Jing clasped his hands: "The servant obeys the order."

…………

Wang Guang, the magistrate of Luzhou, was shocked when he heard the news, but after verifying Xiao Jing's identity, he knew it was true. Kneel at the gate of the yamen to welcome them.

Not long after, the chariots and horses of Emperor Hongzhi arrived.

But seeing Emperor Hongzhi get out of the car, Fang Jifan followed behind, Wang Guang was very excited, and bowed down: "I have seen Your Majesty, Wang Guang, the magistrate of Luzhou."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, stepped into the yamen hall, ascended his seat, looked around, and said leisurely: "I am offering sacrifices to my ancestors in Fengyang. I have nothing to do. I just want to walk around. Let’s go, I don’t want to disturb the people, so I didn’t make a big fanfare.”

As he said that, he couldn't help but paused, pursed his lips, turned his gaze to Wang Guang, and asked. xinwanben

"I have heard for a long time that the literary style of Luzhou Prefecture is at its peak. Is it true that Wang Qing's family is like this?"

Unknown to Wang Guang, His Majesty went to the neighborhood first.

He didn't expect that His Majesty was the first to ask about the local folk customs, and his face flushed with excitement. You know, this is his real political achievement. His Majesty is now interested in this, obviously, he also came here for the name.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am very ashamed. Luzhou Mansion... there is no style of writing, but... since I took office, I have advocated some ethos of reading. The most important thing of the imperial court, as a magistrate, I have a duty to do it... Ashamed, very ashamed, now that His Majesty descended from the sky, and suddenly asked, I am even more terrified... terrified."

This is obviously a polite remark.

In fact, Wang Guang wished he could engrave on his forehead the best words that Lao Tzu had done in Luzhou Jiaohua.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help smiling, his eyes narrowed slightly, he picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip of tea: "I have heard a lot about Luzhou Mansion, and I heard that your Luzhou Mansion is the best when it comes to enlightenment." , but I don’t know what the Luzhou Prefecture is proud of in terms of education.”

Wang Guang's spirit was shaken, he knew that he was almost polite, and now it was time to show his true strength.

Wang Guangdao: "The year before last, in the Nanzhili Township Examination, there were 130 high school candidates. Luzhou Prefecture was not well-known in Nanzhili. In previous years, there were only six or seven people in the middle school. Fourteen."

Having said this, Wang Guang's face turned red.

Twenty-four people, this is not a small number: "Furthermore, Chen Jinwen, a scholar of our government, topped the list and ranked first. The number of nine people is the highest in history. Not only that, there is also a good story in Luzhou. There is a family in Luzhou, surnamed Liu, who is the heir of Liu's poems and books. It can be seen that the high school Jinshi has a family background. It has been passed down to this day, and its clan has a hundred and sixty members. Among them, there are 21 people who are middle-level scholars and five people who are middle-ranked. www.xinwanben. comLast year's imperial examination, there were brothers from three clans who passed the imperial examination at the same time, isn't this just a family of three Jinshi?"

When Wang Guang said this, his face glowed red, and he danced happily.

He continued: "There is another family, father and son, who are both Juren. This time when they entered Beijing, although the son failed, the father was admitted. The son is still young, and he will have a bright future in the future. This father and son are both Jinshi, Thinking about it is inevitable."

"After the minister took office, he rebuilt the government school and cleaned up the style of study. In addition, all the scholars and candidates, as well as those who are subject to examinations, will be questioned one by one. The purpose is to let them have nothing to worry about. Over the years, the hard work has not been in vain. After they passed the imperial examination, most of them came here to express their gratitude. In fact, the most important thing about this imperial examination is to rely on yourself. What I can do is limited after all. I can give them some funding, or It is to collect some stereotyped articles, copy them, and send them to them. If there is even a little help for their admission, I will do my best."

to be honest……

Wang Guang's political achievements are impeccable.

It is indeed surprising that a government can produce so many Jinshi and Juren.

also enough

Seeing Wang Guang took a lot of thought.

If it was ten years ago, Emperor Hongzhi would have praised Wang Guang very much.

But now...it feels weird.

Wang Guang looked at Emperor Hongzhi with no expression on his face, and thought to himself, it really is the emperor's unpredictable heart.

After all, it was his first time to face the saint, and he accepted His Majesty's instructions, so he was still nervous.

I was wondering if I was too humble at the beginning.

Afterwards, I wondered if what I said later was too much bragging, and it seemed that I was too sharp.

Thinking about it over and over again made me feel uneasy.

Suddenly, he remembered something: "May your majesty move the holy car to the back office?"

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and stared at Wang Guang, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in surprise, "Really? Is there any mystery?"

Wang Guang betrayed the key.

"Your Majesty will know it just by looking at it."

Emperor Hongzhi was interested, and a smile could not help but appear on his face.

After getting up, he followed Wang Guang to the Houya House.

This is Wang Guang's resting place when he was busy with official duties. When Emperor Hongzhi stepped into it, he saw that the room was full of books, which were neatly placed on the bookshelves. Looking around, it can be said that it is a world of books. .

Wang Guang's heart was full of emotions, his face was red, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, these... are all the articles I have collected since I took office, all the classics and righteousness since Emperor Gaozu. In the dozens of imperial examinations held by the imperial court, the minister racked his brains and thought of countless ways to collect and transcribe all the stereotyped ones that passed the imperial examination. Your Majesty, please take a look..."

He took out a copy at random and sent it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi opened the first page, and saw the familiar stereotyped inscriptions and broken inscriptions, which were densely packed.

"Your Majesty... I collected these so that the scholars under my rule could borrow them and let them transcribe by themselves. The articles in this room are all masters of stereotyped classics, and they all say they have read three hundred Tang poems by heart. , Can’t compose poems and can sing. I thought, if I can read 3,000 stereotyped essays, how can I take this imperial examination?”

Wang Guang's mouth was trembling with excitement, his eyes were moist when he saw his painstaking efforts.

These years, I have put all my thoughts on this, and this is how the Luzhou Mansion's literary style flourishes, and with the Luzhou Mansion's contribution to enlightenment, now that His Majesty is here, my hard work is finally not in vain.

Wang Guang was very proud. Not everyone had these books, and many of them were collected by himself.

Therefore, he did not pay attention to Emperor Hongzhi's expression, but continued to show off, as if talking about precious treasures.

"Because of this, the education of the minister is the best in the world in all the states. There are also these stereotyped essays, all of which are masterpieces selected by the minister and copied by the minister himself. When the minister was transcribing, I can feel the subtlety in the text rushing to my face..."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "These stereotyped essays... Ruoqing's family is collecting and transcribing, so there is nothing else to do?"

Such a sudden question made Wang Guang stunned.

He looked at Emperor Hongzhi, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, his lips trembled, and then he said: "Your Majesty, enlightenment is the most important thing, as long as enlightenment is achieved, then we can rule by doing nothing... Naturally, everything can be done." ...the success will come when conditions are ripe. The key to governing... the people's hearts, the people's hearts, the education, the education, the precepts and deeds, Your Majesty... this... this..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang Guang, and asked very seriously: "So... how many students have enrolled in the past few years?"

"This this……"

Naturally, Wang Guang couldn't tell, and he hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a specific number.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Since the emphasis is on enlightenment, then the study of benevolence and righteousness should be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If everyone knows the book and reason, it will be a world of great governance. Is this... right?"

"Yep."

"How many people in Luzhou Mansion can read and understand characters and understand benevolence and righteousness?"

"This..." Wang Guang couldn't answer for a while, he said: "There are Jinshi in Luzhou Mansion..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head in disappointment: "What I want to know is, how many people are enrolled here, and how many people can learn benevolence, righteousness and shame, is it one out of ten, or three or four out of a hundred?"

Wang Guang was a little confused, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

His Majesty, he couldn't understand this question.

Does this have anything to do with enlightenment?

The matter of enlightenment is the matter of scholars.

What does it have to do with ordinary people?

Do ordinary people also have to read?

For a moment Wang Guang didn't know what to do, he hesitated and couldn't answer, his face turned slightly red, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
