Chapter 76 Tongsheng, Ninth Grade Awakening

After practicing calligraphy for two and a half years, Ye Liangchen's handwriting finally looked like it was not gnawed by a dog. His regular script was pleasing to Fang Zhongyi.

After that, Fang Zhongyi began to teach Ye Liangchen to learn the Four Books and Five Classics.

That's right, the Confucian and Taoist world also has its own Four Books and Five Classics.

When studying the Four Books and Five Classics, Ye Liangchen discovered a flaw.

These articles have no punctuation marks, and the whole article is a single shot.

This created a problem. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, who breaks sentences for you, translates for you, and lets you flip through the book, you can also see what the truth is.

Moreover, the right to interpret these classic books is entirely in the hands of the aristocratic families.

This is why the aristocratic families have survived for thousands of years, because they have blocked the upper passages. Without their permission, you can't climb up.

After experiencing the previous incident, Ye Liangchen felt that he was not a very reliable teacher, so Ye Liangchen didn't want to reveal his thoughts on punctuation marks.

Besides, the nature of the two is different.

The lowercase numbers were proposed to prevent people from falsifying accounts and embezzling. Although they hated Ye Liangchen, they would not do anything to him.

Punctuation marks are different. Once implemented, it is equivalent to touching the cake of the aristocratic families. These aristocratic families are rich and powerful, and it is not easy to kill a little kid like him.

Therefore, for some things, before Ye Liangchen has the ability to deal with them, he should keep a low profile and not do it all at once.

Ye Liangchen had never learned the complete Four Books and Five Classics before, and the textbooks were all excerpts, but it did not prevent Ye Liangchen from being a demon and having a photographic memory.

After Fang Zhongyi translated it for him, Ye Liangchen could draw inferences from one example.

In just one year, when Ye Liangchen was six years old, Ye Liangchen had mastered the Four Books and Five Classics and could recite them backwards.

With Ye Liangchen's current strength, it is not a problem to take the examination for a Tongsheng.

A six-year-old Tongsheng, Fang Zhongyi had never thought about it, and the same was true for Ye Gong.

Fang Zhongyi discussed with Mr. Ye and wanted Ye Liangchen to try. It didn't matter if he failed the exam. He could just treat it as a training.

Mr. Ye agreed to Fang Zhongyi's proposal and asked Ye Liangchen to sign up for the Qingyang City's provincial examination this year (the setting in the novel is somewhat different from the ancient imperial examination, please don't delve into it, just enjoy it).

Ye Liangchen followed the opinions of the two elders and signed up for the Qingyang City's provincial examination this year.

The level of the provincial examination was pretty good, but for Ye Liangchen, it was not a mess.

There is no doubt that Ye Liangchen overwhelmed the heroes and won the first place in the Qingyang City and Rural Examination, becoming a boy student.

It was also at this moment that Ye Liangchen was recognized by this world, gained talent, successfully entered the ninth rank and became a real scholar.

A six-year-old boy and a ninth rank, Ye Liangchen became famous in Qingyang City.

No one suspected that Ye Liangchen was cheating. A few years ago, Ye Liangchen was famous and praised by the prime minister of the time.

In the past few years, Ye Liangchen has been much more low-key and has not come to the fore again, making people mistakenly believe that his genius is just a flash in the pan.

Guo Xiuyuan, who was far away in Kyoto, also heard the news and couldn't help but sigh. Ye Liangchen is a prodigy of the time. Fang Zhongyi is really lucky to have such a good seedling.

Ye Liangchen won the first place in the Qingyang City and Countryside Examination. Ye Gong was extremely happy. When he was undecided, he directly held a banquet and invited many friends to celebrate.

Fang Zhongyi was also excited and got drunk at the banquet.

Really, Fang Zhongyi has never been so happy, and it can be said that he is proud of himself.

Others don't know what Fang Zhongyi thinks, they only know that he is a sixth-rank Confucian scholar, the only one in Baishi Town.

Who knows, the sixth-rank Confucian scholar is nothing, his fellow brothers and sisters, which one is not above him, some have even reached the level of great Confucian scholars, and the disciples he taught are all promising and are about to catch up with him.

In desperation, Fang Zhongyi had to leave his master's door and return to Baishi Town to spend the rest of his life.

He knew that his life was completely hopeless.

But who knew that he would meet Ye Liangchen, this monster.

Fang Zhongyi suddenly felt that he had the capital to turn the tables again.

Ye Liangchen won the first place in the Qingyang City and Country Examination this time, and Fang Zhongyi's teacher also knew about it. He wrote to him personally, asking him when he would take Ye Liangchen, his disciple, to meet his master.

His teacher personally wrote to meet Ye Liangchen, which showed that the teacher had very high expectations for Ye Liangchen, which exceeded many disciples.

As Ye Liangchen's teacher, how could Fang Zhongyi not be happy and excited? After being depressed for so many years, he finally stood up.

Ye Liangchen obtained the title of Tongsheng. Next, Fang Zhongyi began to teach Ye Liangchen to write poems, cultivate talent with knowledge, and wait until he was fully enlightened and determined the path to take in the future, before he could step into the eighth rank to establish his destiny.

If he did not establish his destiny, the highest he could be was a scholar, and he could not continue to participate in the imperial examination.

Ye Liangchen's father just didn't know where his path was. He spent his days in debauchery and failed to establish himself. He deserved it.

After studying with Fang Zhongyi for another two years, Ye Liangchen was now eight years old. He knew everything he should know, and Fang Zhongyi could no longer teach him.

Fang Zhongyi was sighing in his heart that his disciple was really gifted.

The county exam, which was held every three years, was coming. Fang Zhongyi asked Ye Liangchen if he wanted to try.

With Ye Liangchen's intelligence, it was not a problem to get a place as a scholar.

This time, Ye Liangchen refused. He didn't want to take the county exam for the time being. He wanted to do something first.

Once this thing was done, he would not only increase his talent, but also probably get the recognition of the will of heaven.

Ye Liangchen never forgot what his purpose was in coming here.

Ye Liangchen said to Fang Zhongyi, can you write a book that is good for children's enlightenment, popular to read, and can also increase everyone's knowledge.

When Fang Zhongyi first heard Ye Liangchen's proposal, his first reaction was:

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

How could there be such a book? If there is, those saints and semi-saints would have written it long ago.

Fang Zhongyi wanted to refute Ye Liangchen and tell him that this was unrealistic.

Considering that Ye Liangchen could not study it with ordinary people's methods, Fang Zhongyi did not attack Ye Liangchen, but asked Ye Liangchen if he had any ideas in his mind.

Facing Fang Zhongyi's question, Ye Liangchen nodded, and after thinking for several days, Ye Liangchen wrote the entire Thousand Characters.

The sky and the earth are dark yellow, and the universe is vast and wild.

The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars are lined up.

Winter comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores.

…

Just at the moment when Ye Liangchen finished writing, a strange phenomenon appeared in the Confucian and Taoist world, and everyone in the Confucian and Taoist world could see it.

Then, a stream of talent surged between heaven and earth, and finally sank into Ye Liangchen's body.

After Ye Liangchen received this talent, his literary realm was raised to the ninth level of enlightenment. As long as he completed the establishment of destiny, he could become an eighth-level scholar in the establishment of destiny.
