Chapter 2229 The Emperor’s Conditions

Now that we know that the emperor has known Meng Yunzheng for a long time, wouldn't it be...

Yes, Meng Yunzheng and Xiang Weinan are good friends.

Since the third prince and the second prince colluded to rebel and made their first contribution to Xiang Weinan at the end of the year before last, everyone knew that although Xiang Weinan was the son-in-law of the Xiao family, he was not from the third prince's faction.

Xiang Weinan is the emperor's confidant, and maybe Meng Yuncheng is too.

At this moment, everyone looked at Meng Yunzheng differently.

Damn it, this kid actually hid it so deep.

Also, how many confidants does the emperor have?

After the end of the year before last, many people knew that Lord Jing Jing of Dali Temple, who was usually a secretive person, had long been a member of the emperor. Needless to say, Xiang Weinan Qi Lie, there were many others that they could not even imagine.

Now there is another new top scorer who has won six yuan in a row? The emperor's eyes are too poisonous, and the people he is looking for are all really capable.

Everyone was in mixed moods, and the emperor pretended not to see them.

He looked at Meng Yunzheng and said, "I can promise you to go back to teach, but I also have a condition."

"Your Majesty, please do as you wish."

"Since you said it was to cultivate more talents, then when you opened the academy, you had to really provide talents for the court. Three years later, at least five candidates from your academy passed the imperial examination. And from now on. We must ensure that at least five people are admitted to the Jinshi. Otherwise, you must admit that you are not suitable for opening an academy, and come back honestly and continue to be your Imperial Academy editor, how about that?"

Oops...

Five? ? ?

Everyone was shocked. There were so many state capitals in the entire Dashu Dynasty. During the examination, there were at least a thousand, and sometimes tens of thousands, of Gongyuan candidates. Among so many candidates, only two to three hundred were admitted.

Of the two to three hundred, Jiangnan and Beijing accounted for more than half. After all, these two places themselves are places with superior conditions and many scholars.

Even if the remaining Jinshi were divided equally among the various state capitals, there would only be a handful of them.

Some state capitals even don’t have one.

Now the emperor actually wants an academy that has not yet been opened, and will have at least five Jinshi in three years? Are you sure this isn't making things difficult? So, did Meng Yunzheng have a relationship or enmity with the emperor?

As if he knew what these people were thinking, the emperor added a few more sentences, "Of course, I won't embarrass you. There are no students in your academy yet. Even if you start teaching now, it's hard to say whether you can take the county examination in three years. So. , as long as in the past three years, any examinations from other places that have been studied in your academy for more than half a year will be counted among those five places."

Others bowed their heads silently, which was also difficult.

Which person would go to a little-known academy that was opened less than three years ago for half a year? Even if the headmaster of this academy were a top scholar who won six yuan in a row, it would be difficult for him to be attractive.

But Meng Yunzheng agreed, "Okay."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "You are very confident."

Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "To be honest with the Emperor, I have invited Mr. Huai'an from Lingzhou to teach in the academy. Mr. Huai'an will bring several of his students with him."

"Ouch!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Mr. Huai'an?"

"He actually agreed to teach in your academy?"

Everyone couldn't help but make noises. Mr. Huai'an was really too famous.

This man was a great scholar of his generation. He also took part in the imperial examination and won the title of No. 1 scholar at the age of twelve. Later, he worked as an editor in the Hanlin Academy and rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the Prince's Young Master.
