Chapter 538 The Bathtub
He leaned against the wall of the bathtub and looked at the sky.

Today's sky is still as clear as usual, and it is like this almost every day in Yujing during its peaceful days.Yujing in the rain makes people feel more secure, because everyone has space to shelter from the wind and rain.In a safe environment, compared with the cold rain outside the window, people can feel the happiness now even more.

Occasionally, planes pass by with the roar of their engines in the sky, but the sound is not loud.After all, several airports such as Pukou will deliberately avoid the resort area of ​​Tangshan to avoid disturbing the people here.

"It would be great if I could do this every day." He shook his head. "It's a pity that this ticket has a time limit. It ends on the day of admission. You have to go out around dark."

Although I could have left a little later, the tram in the suburbs wouldn't wait that long, and I had to be ready to go back at six or seven o'clock.

"Let me take a look at the schedule." He turned sideways and took out the guide book from his bathrobe. One column of the guide book contained the transportation schedule.

"The latest class today is at 7:10, right? Well, it will be out at about 6:45." He muttered.

"Then do you want to ride with us? Shang Tianjun?"

A voice suddenly floated over from the clouds and mist.

"Oh?" Shangluo looked up.

"Hey, Mr. Wen Ge, you are here too. Why didn't I notice you?"

Wenzhong was sitting on the other side of the pool, near the water outlet.He has been sitting there taking a bath since just now.

"Most likely, Shang Tianjun is thinking about something important?"

"Well, it's related to the Pure Land. Our progress has accelerated, and there are a lot of things to do. I sometimes wonder if something will happen if I make a mistake. After all, time will not go back. What if? "

"Stop." Wen Zhong on the other side waved his hand, "Shang Tianjun, have a good rest. I think you haven't had a good rest for a long time, right? Then why not think about anything and just take a bath here. Take a look, Why didn’t I hang out with the rest of the cabinet?”

"Because...you all take a break?"

"No, it's because I don't get along with others. Those in the East Wing have something to talk about, and those in the West Wing have something to talk about. I usually don't mingle with them in private. This time is a time for me to have a good rest. So, I need to take this time. Make some plans. After taking a bath and going to eat later, they will naturally tell you if they have anything to do. Wait until then. I have almost rested and am full of energy. I am getting older."

He shook his head: "We old men don't actually have a lot of energy in a day. Sometimes, it's just about having a longer battery life than anyone else. If I rest more, I can be more energetic than them in a day. After all, I want to I have done more things than them." "Oh, that's right, what about something else? When school starts next year, I will probably go to the Imperial College. So should I call you principal?"

"Well, you have to call it that. The environment inside the Imperial College is simpler than elsewhere, and all the signs are bright. Because people who enter the Imperial College are usually well prepared."

"How does that sound like, 'This is a very challenging decision.'"

"Because it is true. People often tell you that the price-performance ratio of the Imperial College is very low, right? This is what I like. If everyone here has their own ideas, how can they provide good education. The Imperial College does not train officials. , the Imperial College trains useful people. Let useless people become useful, and let useful people know how to use themselves. Shang Tianjun, you should belong to the latter."

"Yeah, I'll do my best. By the way, do I need to prepare anything? Do I need to study Neo-Confucianism or Ren studies?"

"You don't have to choose. The first year of the Imperial College is not divided into subjects. Neo-Confucianism and Renxue are taught together. It mainly provides general education of Neo-Confucianism and Renxue. I will explain the history of thought in various fields to you clearly and prepare for the subsequent topic selection. Specific details. I will wait for you to talk about your research later. After you choose your topic, your original classroom will not change, and you will still take public classes together. This is to ensure that students will not have sectarian opinions and can communicate in daily communication. Take it easy."

"Ah, after teaching like this, the students of the Imperial College will definitely be."

"It must be of no use." Wen Zhong shook his head, "If there is any special advantage, it is probably that the Imperial College's success rate is relatively high. Well, that's it. Because during the exam, this kind of interdisciplinary thinking is more It's easy for you to convince the examiner. But the rate of getting into the Jinshi is not very high. Because the Jinshi test is about depth - but having said that, Juren is enough. The entire imperial court is supported by thousands of Juren. , all in the Six Ministries and Jiuqing Yamen. There are only more than 200 Jinshi in a year, and they are just heavenly people used to serve as counselors in the court. "

"So that's it. So what if I get admitted to Jinshi?",

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Wen Zhong shook his head, "If you are admitted as a Jinshi, then you are not from the Imperial College. Strictly speaking, all Jinshi are disciples of the emperor, because Jinshi is selected by the emperor himself. But that's it. It is precisely because the level of Emperor's disciples is stuck here, so everyone's origin is equivalent to being washed here. Do you understand? Therefore, after being admitted to the Jinshi, it is not up to you to be divided into which 'sect' It’s decided—but Shang Tianjun, you are an exception.”

As he said that, Wen Zhong laughed: "I'll tell you something interesting. Maybe you've heard it before. Back then, the emperor actually planned to take the imperial examination, but in the end he stopped for the best."

"why?"

"Because whenever he takes the exam for any academic title, he always has to continue to take the exam, right? Then in the end, he must be admitted to the Jinshi - and then, here is an endless loop. Because he is the examiner of the Jinshi and the person who sets the questions It's also him. He has no way to set questions for himself, and he has no way to invigilate himself. So it's okay if he doesn't take the exam. Whenever he takes the exam, others will think, 'You can only be a Juren, but not a Jinshi' 'Something like that. It's quite a pity to say that. In fact, the emperor originally wanted to pass the imperial examination on his own. Well, it's a pity that things happened unexpectedly in the end, and he had no choice but to inherit the throne with hatred. "

"Then this is really hateful."

"Of course, he is more resentful than Wen Yuan. That boy Wen Yuan, the most he can do is lose one exam. He will not be able to take part in all the exams after that. So, Shang Tianjun, sometimes you yourself have to Think about it clearly. Taking a bath is just the time to think about problems. Don't mix things up with others, the bath water is quite dirty. Look at the sky and think about problems more. There is no such good time elsewhere. "
