Dominate the ancient academy

imperial study room

Emperor Jingming was reviewing memorials when Eunuch Fu tiptoed in with a tray.

Emperor Jingming raised his head and asked, "What did you take?"

Eunuch Fu was not nervous either. If it was some other concubine coming to compete for the emperor's favor, he would have to worry about the emperor getting angry. After all, the emperor hated concubines in the harem competing for his favor while he was working the most. But it was the same for the prince of Dingbei.

Dingbei Marquis and the Princess are often at the border, and the prince of Dingbei Marquis was raised by the emperor. The gifts were carefully prepared, and the emperor must be very happy. How could he blame them?

If the emperor is happy, those who serve him will feel better.

He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is the essential oil that the prince sent to the palace. He said it can relax the mind, improve sleep, and relieve stress. Imperial Doctor Zhang checked it and said it is excellent. He even kept a bottle for you."

Emperor Jingming: "Doctor Zhang is good in everything else, except that he is too obsessed with medical skills."

I want to research all kinds of medicine myself.

Eunuch Fu: "It's up to me. As long as it's good for the emperor's health, the more obsessed the imperial physician Zhang is with his medical skills, the better it is for me."

Emperor Jingming laughed: "Yes, the more he studies, the more advanced his medical skills become. How do I use this...essential oil?"

"I heard from the prince that you can take a bath, massage, and use incense. You can also drop some drops on your body to make the fragrance last."

"Put two drops in the incense burner first and let me see the effect."

"Yes."

The eunuch took the essential oil and carefully dropped two drops into the incense burner, then stood on the emperor's right hand side so that he could respond to the emperor's call at any time.

Soon a faint and elegant fragrance rose in the hall, refreshing and invigorating. Emperor Jingming felt that his groggy head, which had been reviewing memorials for the whole afternoon, had become much clearer.

"This essential oil is good! It's better than those incense sticks. Han'er is thoughtful."

"Go give two bottles to the fifth and sixth princesses. Girls all love beauty. Even if it doesn't matter how effective it is, they will like the long-lasting fragrance."

"Yes."

Emperor Jingming had a total of six princesses. The first few had already married, leaving only the fifth princess born to Concubine Xian and the sixth princess born to the Queen in the palace. They were all very favored.

"The prince said that this was given to him by a fellow student from the academy, and he said that if you use it well, he would ask for it back."

Emperor Jingming sighed: "Qinghan has always been filial. If my other sons could have half as much filial piety as Qinghan, I would be satisfied."

Eunuch Fu: "Not only the Crown Prince, but the Eleventh Prince is also very filial. He told me to keep an eye on Your Majesty today and let you rest more."

"Eleventh Prince, Eleventh Prince, Little Eleven..."

Emperor Jingming muttered a few words with a complicated tone, then lowered his head and continued to review memorials. Eunuch Fu, who was standing beside him, breathed lighter, as if he did not exist. The imperial study was very quiet, with only the sound of the emperor reviewing memorials.

......

"Xiaoxiao, those humans are so stupid. I saw several people who couldn't do it, and some even did it wrong."

After the exam, Canbao came back from the liberal arts class and discussed his experience in taking the exam with Shu Xiaoxiao.

It didn't realize it when it was studying before, but after the exam, it found out that it was the smartest ginseng in the whole academy. Some students scratched their heads in front of the test paper and could not write a few words. Others wrote irrelevant answers. Some even had typos. These humans are so stupid!

But it is still very smart to come up with the idea of ​​taking exams. It loves exams so much. It seems that only some of them are stupid. The person who can come up with the idea of ​​taking exams must be a genius like it.

It’s a pity that Xiaoxiao said that the person who invented the exam had died a long time ago, what a pity.

"Shanbao, you are the ancestor, you must be amazing! You did so well in the exam, why don't you go to the mountain and tell the flowers and plants about your great achievements? Let them learn more in the future so that they can keep up with you."

Shenbao should just tell the good news to the flowers and plants. She wants to be quiet. Why can’t time travel help her improve her IQ? Many exams here are full of complicated stuff. It’s really miserable for her as a science student.

As for the art of war, it was fine when it was first explained, simple and easy to understand, but what became of it later?

Those who are good at making plans for war are good at plotting. The defense of a plan is as strong as a city, and the attack of a plan is as weak as a soldier.

By planning, you can know the strategy of gains and losses; by doing, you can know the principles of movement and stillness; by shaping, you can know the place of life and death; by competing, you can know the surplus and deficiency.

The shape of the army is like water. The shape of water avoids high places and moves towards low places. The shape of the army avoids the solid and attacks the empty. Water controls its flow according to the terrain, and the army wins according to the enemy. Therefore, the army has no constant position, and water has no constant shape. Those who can win by taking advantage of the changes of the enemy are called gods.

It's really easy to get it wrong if it's not "之" or "于". Is it just the Art of War? No, this is an enhanced version of classical Chinese! All of it needs to be memorized and understood. It's like dreaming back to the classical Chinese in high school. Although there are treasures in this exam, it also makes her realize her own shortcomings.

Since she traveled through time, why didn't the time travel master give her a skill of photographic memory? Once again, I envy Shenbao's photographic memory.

She used to think that with her memory that was thousands of years ahead of her, wouldn't it be a no-brainer for her to be a top student in an ancient academy?

As a result, reality taught her a lesson. The value of ancient academic masters cannot be compared with modern academic masters. The Art of War is so difficult to understand. Although most of the students of military science are simple-minded, strong-limbed and do not like to study, they are very dedicated in memorizing the Art of War.

She later found out that although Daning did not value literature over martial arts, there were still not many people who actually learned martial arts. In the entire Daning, only the Yuren Academy had established a martial arts class, and other academies did not make any distinction between literature and martial arts.

The military class established by the 'Yuren Academy' only lasted for three years, so the students who entered the military class basically would not work as civil servants. The imperial court had always been a place where civil and military officials were equal since ancient times, so they would not allow themselves to perform worse than the students in the liberal arts class, so they rolled up their sleeves.

They have high demands on themselves, and every student studies very hard. After completing the task, Master Wu will give them extra training. Master Wu is always worried that they will hurt themselves if they train too hard. Training in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter is really normal here.

In the entire martial arts class, the person the master doesn't have to worry about the least is Shu Xiaoxiao, because after completing the master's tasks, she never gives herself extra training.

This made Master Wu love and hate her. What he loved was that he never had to worry about her hurting herself by practicing too much, but what he hated was that her grades were almost at the bottom, but she didn't know how to catch up, and she acted as if she was at a great disadvantage every time she practiced for an extra cup of tea.

It was the first time that Master Wu encountered such a student, but he did not pursue it. First, Shu Xiaoxiao was the thinnest in the class and looked delicate and weak. The others looked simply drawn, but she seemed to be meticulously carved out.

He didn't dare speak loudly to such a carefully crafted doll, for fear of scaring the person to tears and making it difficult to comfort.

The second thing is to prepare for this exam and see the results to see if I can persuade him to go to the liberal arts class. This small body is really not suitable for the martial arts class.

So after this exam, Master Wu began to sort out the results of these students. Their results were announced on the spot, and he knew exactly how each student performed. He planned to record the results and take them to talk to the headmaster to let him see how to deal with the matter.

Shu Xiaoxiao didn't know that Master Wu was going to kick her out of the martial arts class and was still summarizing his own exams.
