Chapter 3200 (1/2)
Hearing the prince say the word ”Taishi”, all the candidates were shocked!
There is only one person who can be called a grand master in the Dayu court!
Grand Master, Zhang Hong!
One of the only three literary saints in Dayu dynasty!
In heaven, there may be many powerful people, but few can be respected as ”saints”.
Even in ancient times, few people could be promoted to sainthood.
Only in a certain field, which has surpassed ordinary people and even the existence of immortals, can it be honored as ”Saint”.
Nowadays, when the Dayu Heavenly Kingdom controlled the heaven, the literature and Taoism have been unprecedentedly prosperous. At this time, the literary sage who can be born from countless people needs not only strong strength, but also enough knowledge and deep-rooted understanding of Confucianism and Taoism.
It is precisely because of the emergence of Zhang Hong that Zhang Jia can be ranked among the eight aristocratic families in Dijing and enjoy glory, wealth and honor.
”I heard that the imperial court selected a lot of talents this time. I was glad to see you, old man. I also planned to come and have a look. Your highness, did I not interfere with the imperial examination? ” Zhang Hong smiled.
Zhang Hong's voice is a little rough, mixed with some accents. But as soon as the voice came out, it seemed to ring an alarm in everyone's ears, asking people to put away all distractions and seriously listen to the teachings.
The prince said, ”it's very kind of you. So are those slaves outside. I don't report when I hear you coming. I'd better come out early to meet you.”
The grand master is the highest official rank in the imperial court, but usually he will not participate in the government affairs of the imperial court.
The three literary saints always practice in seclusion on weekdays and only ask about the affairs of the pilgrimage. They will appear only when there are some top events that affect the Chao gang.
No one expected that the grand master would appear in the palace examination. Many candidates who had never seen the man of letters had begun to get excited and bow to Zhang Hong.
