Zhu Can chuckled in his heart. You must be joking!
The Ming Dynasty selected scholars with eight-part essays!
What virtue and ability did he have to write eight-part essays?
Zhu Can had a natural aversion to the eight-legged essay.
That thing was something that could bring disaster to the country and the people!
The rule of selecting scholars from eight-part composition was set by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Me? Do I look like that kind of material to you?”
Zhu Can said,"I don't understand words, and I can't write the smelly eight-legged essay. It's better to live my life well."”
Zhu Yuanzhang was displeased!
When Hongwu founded the country, he held the imperial examination to determine the eight-part essay. He felt that this matter was quite beautiful.
He felt that he had ended the Mongol rule and reinstated the imperial examinations.
He even used the eight-part essay to regulate the imperial examination papers!
This was his civil and martial arts skills as an emperor, the proof of being an emperor through the ages!
However, Zhu Can treated it as something smelly.
Didn't that mean that Old Zhu was a troublemaker?
If he didn't suspect that Zhu Can was his grandson, he would have chopped him up!
"This old man is also a scholar, but I've never heard anyone say that eight-legged essays stink! If you can't say it out, then you're insulting the cultured and refined. As a scholar, this old man can't go against you!”
Zhu Can was stunned. Why did these words sound so familiar?
He had used this excuse when he tricked the brothel madame.
This old thing is quite smart. He learned it so quickly!
"Disgraceful? Old sir, look at me. How am I refined? I'm not refined at all! I don't study, so what does being refined have to do with me!”
Zhu Yuanzhang pressed down on Zhu Can's hand.
"Kid, you want to run? Where are you going if you don't explain yourself?"
Zhu Can looked at his hand that was grabbed and sat back down helplessly.
"Alright, alright, I won't run anymore!"
Zhu Can thought for a moment, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"I dare to say it, but do you dare to listen? That's a little treasonous!”
"Speaking of which, it doesn't matter even if you scold the emperor! It's not like no one scolded him. Don't tell me you don't trust me? As long as you say it, you don't have to give me the money you owe me!”
"When did I owe you money?”
"Yesterday, you tricked that brothel madame…"
Zhu Can cupped his hands and said,"Alright, alright."”
He was really speechless. Sir System looked very forthright.
He actually made things difficult for her for a small amount of money!
This was really a distortion of morality, and the times were regressing!
You're already at the age of retirement, yet you're still snatching money from young people.
Did he have to work so hard?
You're definitely one of the old men who took more than ten bus stops early in the morning to snatch eggs!
Zhu Can saw that he had no choice but to say it. He thought for a moment and said,"The imperial examination uses eight-part essay to select scholars. It seems to be convenient for the imperial court to select scholars, but the north and south are not equal!”
"Most scholars live in the south. Southerners understand the way of writing better, and experts can quickly summarize the essence of the eight-part essay. The north can't do it!”
"Have you ever thought about the imperial examinations in the north?”
"Secondly, in terms of the essence of writing, there has been no fixed method since ancient times. The beauty of writing lies in its spirituality. When the emperor set the eight-part essay, you say he chose scholars by writing. It was also a fixed format. How could there be spirituality to speak of?”
"You said that he chose talented officials, and what he tested was something useless to the country like classics! This is really a dilemma. I feel that the emperor is just a wooden club that doesn't know what he wants at all!”
"You know what a club is, right? It's just a rolling pin. It's hard!"
Zhu Can said happily, but he did not notice that Old Zhu's face was twitching!
"What should I do with something like Baku?" he continued. It should be used in the official documents of the imperial court! According to the format, the officials had to write it in this way, so that everyone could use the same format. However…the officials did not use it. Did those officials write a year's worth of performance reports? How was it written? Wasn't it as long and smelly as writing an article?”
Zhu Can then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang." The Emperor was born with a muddy background. It's no wonder that he doesn't understand. Once the eight-legged essay selection is decided, the immediate benefits will not be able to overcome the future disadvantages. The poison of eight-legged essay will cause endless harm!"”
"How dare you!"
Old Zhu couldn't take it anymore. His eyes were filled with killing intent!
Even he thought that it was a good idea, but it was said to be useless in front of him.
It was simply a slap in the face!
Zhu Can was unhappy.
I'm bold?
Of course I'm bold!
I'm already plotting to assassinate the emperor. How can I not be bold?
What's wrong with talking about eight-part essays? This is just an appetizer!
"I'll say it, I won't say it. You must let me say it. If I say it, you're saying that I'm bold now! Didn't we agree to secretly say it? We can even scold the emperor. We agreed, and you're going back on your word?”
You literary old men are hard to please!
Zhu Can stood up." Since you've helped me before and you're an old man, I won't argue with you. Goodbye!"”
Only then did Old Zhu react. When he saw that Zhu Can had already left with Li Jin, he immediately smiled bitterly!
This kid, you're talking about me like this, and you don't allow me to say how bold you are?
Was eight-part writing really that bad? It shouldn't be!
Old Zhu was about to open Enke.
It was the 27th year of Hongwu's imperial examination next year.
He felt that whether Zhu Can was his grandson or not, he should at least get an official rank.
Zhu Can's grandfather was Zhu Shiqi. At least, he was his relative. He wouldn't embarrass himself with his achievements!
Who would have thought that Zhu Can was not in the mood for the imperial examinations at all!
……
Imperial examinations my ass, I am a transmigrator, Imperial examinations?
To be the emperor's dog?
Crazy!
After leaving the mutton soup cake shop, Zhu Can was already amused.
There was an enemy ahead!
When he met Zhu Zong, new and old grudges instantly rose.
This time, he had hired thugs!
Zhu Zong also saw him. There were four people following him.
After being tricked by Zhu Can yesterday, Zhu Zong was taken down by Yang Zhao.
However, Zhu Zong did not commit a crime, so the Brocade Guard released him after giving him a warning.
When Zhu Zong returned, he found four guards to protect him.
Seeing Zhu Can at this moment, it was simply like an enemy meeting, their eyes turning red.
He practically jumped over and stopped Zhu Can in an instant.
"Where are you going? You want to run away when you see me?”
Li Jin looked at Zhu Zong. What was wrong with this guy?
His hands were itching!
"Young Master, who is this person?"
Before Zhu Can could say anything, Zhu Zong smiled and said,"Young Master, this person called you Young Master? Zhu Can, what kind of young master are you? You were lucky yesterday, but you met me today. You've met the King of Hell! I'll teach you a good lesson!”
Zhu Can only had the chance to speak after picking his ears.
He turned around and glanced at Li Jin.
"People of the Zhu Clan, do you understand?"
After saying that, Zhu Can made way.
"You still want to run?" Zhu Zong laughed."Can you run in front of Grandpa?" Go! I'll pay if you kill me!"
Zhu Can shook his head. He turned around and saw the literary old man.
Zhu Can revealed an embarrassed expression as he cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked over, looking like he was watching a show.
"You have so many enemies!"
"What kind of enemy is this? At most, she's just a sl * t!”Zhu Can said.
Just as he was speaking, Li Jin had already beaten Zhu Zong and the other four people until they spat out blood.
Li Jin grabbed a person's arm and broke it.
The bones in the man's arm protruded out of his flesh!
"The method might not be too cruel!" Old Zhu frowned.”
"How can you be merciful to a slut?"
"I won't attack unless people attack me, but if people attack me…" Zhu Can said.
Zhu Can deliberately paused. Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously,"How are you?"
"I'll kill his entire family!" Zhu Can said coldly.
When Zhu Zong saw that his subordinate had been beaten down by Li Jin, he turned around and wanted to run.
Zhu Can took a step forward, pulled out the knife in Li Jin's hand, and chased after Zhu Zong.
"Bastard, I've already beaten up your father. Why would I miss you?”
