Chapter 212 The Imperial Examination (4)

"What you teach in your academy is not the eight-legged essay." A student said in confusion: "It seems that there is no such content in the eight-legged essay."

Tang Bohu explained: "There are thousands of knowledge in the world, but knowledge has no end. Are you interested in listening?"

Most scholars in the Ming Dynasty had never accepted science such as science. For example, mathematics and investigation of things are related to science, but they are not as systematic as the science books that Tang Bohu had worked hard to copy. Tang Bohu was also happy that they could accept this science. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Although it is not easy to start, Tang Bohu was patient.

"It's okay to listen. Whether you have any books all day long or not, it's good to change your mood." A student said, walking into the classroom.

Now Wang Shouren is talking about the principle of heat expansion and contraction. Listening to his explanation, Tang Bohu was surprised to see that Wang Shouren's explanation was very comprehensive and could also learn from one example. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not simple, and they could study a subject so thoroughly in half a year.

I remember that I failed several times when I took the exam. I didn’t expect that Wang Shouren had such a good understanding. Wang Shouren only noticed that Tang Bohu was in the classroom, and his eyes seemed to be proud. This made Tang Bohu a little uncomfortable. Was it possible for Wang Shouren to see astrophysics, calculus, or chemical equations?

Too much brain cells of this guy?

After a physics class, Tang Bohu bid farewell to Li Dongyang and Liu Jian. Wang Shouren came to Tang Bohu and said, "Mr. Tang, why do you have the leisure to listen to the class today?"

"There is a fly that is restless, I'll take a look." Tang Bohu said.

Fly, Wang Shouren knew that he had something in his words, but he didn't ask too much and just said, "The spring exam is coming soon. I'm going to start reviewing books, so as not to lose my name. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here to teach these days."

"You go and review it. The imperial examination is important." Tang Bohu said: "There are other teachers here, don't worry."

"Thank you, Lord Tang." Wang Shouren said respectfully

Looking at Wang Shouren, who had gained weight recently, Tang Bohu couldn't help but ask curiously: "I've gotten along with your wife recently, right?"

"I'm worried about Lord Tang." Wang Shouren said: "Everything is good for the wife of the family."

"Bohu! Wang Shouren" Wen Zhengming happened to leave and said, "After reviewing the book for a long time, come out to relax, and you can also relax."

"I just finished class." Wang Shouren said: "Mr. Tang said he is here to drive flies."

"Catch the flies?" Wen Zhengming said in confusion: "Although it's spring, it's still cold and there are flies in this season."

"Just a little fly." Tang Bohu continued: "How are you preparing for the Spring Examination?"

"No big problem." Wen Zhengming said he was confident but still a little worried. "Recently, there are reports that this year's imperial examination questions will be very different from previous years."

"What's the difference?" Wang Shouren was puzzled.

"I also heard some students say that, and I don't know where the rumors came from." Wen Zhengming said: "There are many students in our Jiangnan who come to the capital. Brother Tang doesn't go to meet?"

"I'm busy," said Tang Bohu.

"Different from previous years?" Wang Shouren said: "What will be different."

Wen Zhengming continued to explain: "It is said that the questions for this imperial examination are still selected by the Hanlin Academy, but this is the hand of Li Dongyang, the cabinet minister! It is said that the Grand Secretary Li Dongyang is the chief examiner of this examination, and it seems that Grand Secretary Li Dongyang has added a few new questions."

After saying that, Wen Zhengming and Wang Shouren looked at Tang Bohu together.

"What are you doing when I look at me like this?" Tang Bohu felt uncomfortable all over when he was stared.

Wang Shouren walked around Tang Bohu and said, "When the Imperial College was in the fight against Tangzhuang Academy, this incident was just a draw at that time, but we all knew that the victory was Tangzhuang Academy, and this incident also made Tangzhuang Academy famous."

"So what?" Tang Bohu continued.

Wang Shouren replied: "If the test questions of this imperial examination are innovated, it is very likely to be related to the test last year. Except for the students who have studied in Tangzhuang, it seems that most students have not experienced such unique knowledge."

"I believe Li Dongyang would think of this, and it shouldn't be too much." Tang Bohu was already sweating coldly. If Li Dongyang wrote a physical physics question that the students could not answer, if he traced the root of the question, he would definitely find Tangzhuang Academy. It is estimated that a large group of students would come to Tangzhuang to condemn him. So many students would not have exposed this small Tangzhuang. Those who can pass the examination these days have fame.

The worst is also scholars, and scholars with fame cannot do whatever they want. Bullying those with fame will have to sue. Can those scholars who want to throw away my Tangzhuang and cannot fight back?

"By the way!" Tang Bohu suddenly said: "How many people are there in this exam?"

"Not much," Wang Shouren said: "I have been living in simplicity these days, and I don't know how many people will come to try it out."

"I want to prepare early v." Tang Bohu said as he prepared.

Wen Zhengming said in confusion: "What are you preparing for!"

"Planning the army and preparing for war!" Tang Bohu said seriously.

Tang Bohu left in a hurry, Wang Shouren shook his head and said, "This Tang Bohu is so stinky and sarcastic. How could we scholars do it by the way? Generally, we are very reasonable."

"What if it's not reasonable?" Wen Jian said: "Tang Bohu fell against hundreds of scholars by one person, and his three-inch tongue was not so easy to greet him."

"When you reach that point, you can't just talk." Wang Shouren said to Chunse.

"A gentleman does not speak." Wen Zhengming said.

"Even a gentleman can't always reason." Wang Shouren breathed fresh air, "What if he couldn't say it."

"I guess I'm going to move." Wen Zhengming was worried.

"Hahaha..." Wang Shouren smiled bitterly: "Where has Xu Zhenqing been?"

"I haven't seen each other for a while." Wen Zhengming said: "This Xu Zhenqing and his childhood have changed a lot, and Tang Bohu has also changed over the years."

When Tang Bohu returned home, he was about to take a shower. At this time, a doorman stepped forward and said, "Young Master, today there is a scholar who has a strange behavior in Tangzhuang."

A scholar with strange behavior?

"I get it." Tang Bohu nodded and took off his clothes and jumped into the swimming pool! Feeling the cold water, his mind became much clearer. Winter just passed, and the swimming pool had changed into new water, but it was still a bit cold.
Chapter completed!
