Taipingchun

In the second round of the test, one of the five subjects was chosen as the exam. Xu Xiu chose the "theory" question, because he was still very confident in his own writing and logical ability. It is enough to have something, be practical, and be able to live in a foolish way. It is precisely the logical ability required for such a long speech that Xu Xiu is more confident in.So there is such a choice.

Topic: The governance of the world comes from one.

Xu Xiu opened the exam question and couldn't help but secretly slander: This kind of question looks like a brainwashing education carried out by the emperor of the decadent feudal dynasty.Don't you just want to see thousands of articles written by the examinees to show that your imperial power is stable.

Starting from the level of the rural examination, the examination papers of the provincial examinations of various subjects will be compiled into a book and distributed to the world, so it is also the motivator and guide of the atmosphere at that time.In the words of later generations, it is the ideological high ground that needs to be occupied.

The second and third exams only took one day. They entered at the fifth watch and left at dawn the next day. Xu Xiu, who had a whole day to write, was not in a hurry to answer the questions.

Sitting in the third room of Tianzi, I couldn’t help being happy that I got a good number, because the test rooms in the back row are more compact and inconvenient. Even if you have to go to the toilet, you may have to go back and forth. Take half an hour.

In this room, there are many words mentioned by the seniors, all of which are poems or couplets.

When Xu Xiu saw a doggerel, it wasn't funny.

I saw him write: Three years of competition compared to ten years of work, I have a dream here, write a poem with a pen, and go back to my hometown to brag.

Obviously it's for soy sauce.Who told me that participating in the examination in Daming is equivalent to spending the money of the public to travel by myself.

There is another one: it is the fifth watch when you enter the door, and it is the fifth watch when you wake up, take a breath and continue to sleep, and it is the fifth watch again before you realize it.

You are really capable, you can sleep for two days at a time, and you don't know if this senior has handed in a blank paper, and the punishment for handing in a blank paper is very serious.

Seeing that it was fun, Xu Xiu was also ready to indulge. Who would know that it was her if she didn't leave her name? The seat number is not left in history books.

Immediately, I wrote in a stroke of wild cursive: There is a senior who brags, and a senior who sleeps deeply. I am trembling for seven essays, and today I am answering papers again. It is pending to be published on the list. See if I can do it.

The sentence is vulgar, and it spoils a good style of crazy grass.

Closer to home, Xu Xiu touched the good Koryo paper. This is the highest grade paper that North Korea pays tribute to. It is also the most famous in Daming. The silk pattern on the paper is indeed good, delicate and tough. It is one of the named items that the imperial court asks North Korea to pay tribute every year, which is about [-] pieces per year.

At the beginning of the second round of the trial and the subsequent court exams, Koryo paper was used. Xu Xiu couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: Look at how much the Ming Dynasty attached importance to learning and imperial examinations. Not only is food, accommodation and transportation free, but also the best paper used. Of course, it would be better if this room could be improved.

The only surviving answer sheet of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, the number one examination paper written by Zhao Bingzhong, the number one scholar in the Wanli period, is listed as a first-class cultural relic. In the Ming Dynasty, or in the whole of Asia, the Goryeo paper made by Korea should be the first.

As a good calligrapher, when Xu Xiu saw such a fine paper, he couldn't help being cautious and paying attention to it. He grinded it carefully, and was careful when dripping water.It would be a great honor to be able to scribble wild grass on this kind of paper, but it is a pity that it is not allowed.

After finishing the draft, I put all my heart into writing on the main volume: There is a foundation of politics in the world, and the sincerity of the people is the most important thing, and then the politics follow the foundation without distinction.The weapon of the husband and the master of the world...

About two thousand words, the core of the argument is reasoning, which is also one of the abilities necessary to test whether a Juren has the ability to be an official, and whether his thinking is clear.

Hold the pen and stop, the neat and beautiful test paper is very eye-catching.

Xu Xiu thought to himself: So, we just need to ask Ce.

…………

The core of the policy question, Qian Fu had already made it clear, he said: "It is nothing more than a plethora of articles to confuse people's hearts."

Since the seventh year of Hongzhi, there have been regulations, policy questions are not allowed to be flashy and dangerous, difficult words are not allowed, and absurd miscellaneous books are not allowed.It must be well thought out and practical.

The key is nothing more than the word practical, to have something to say.

Emperor Taizu once said: There are no questions for countermeasures, but a few questions for policies.It became the policy of the Ming Dynasty.

There are no exam questions, only three questions are drawn up in advance, and candidates can choose one to answer.

Xu Xiu flipped through a few questions and found that they were all similar, so she chose the third question.I only pick up the pen after brewing.

Wrote: The scriptures written by the sages are not lost on the number, but they do not rely on the number...

……

"Thanks for your hard work."

Almost all of the ten members of the Wenhan Club who participated in the examination were physically and mentally haggard, with tired faces.No, or in other words, as long as it is a person who participates in the test, this is the case.

When Xu Xiu returned to the Susong Clubhouse, she didn't have much energy for conversation. After saying goodbye to Lu Shen and others, they went back to their respective rooms.

……

"It shouldn't be like this. Look, you can do your job with a big fly to the right. Why are you fighting to the death with him..."

"Can you shut up?" Xu Xiu said unhappily to Dong Qi who was chattering beside her.

"Not good! Who told Jun Yi that you are so good at chess." Dong Qi didn't care.

"have to."

Xu Xiu could only helplessly listen to Dong Qi's broken words, and cautiously played Go with Gu Yingxiang. Even with the Go skills of later generations as the basis, the ancients' Go power was infinite, and if they were killed by a dragon accidentally, this game would be ugly. .

"Haha, Brother Jun, your big dragon is going to die."

"Shut up!"

Xu Xiu couldn't help shaking her legs. A big dragon in her belly was already heavy. At this time, she said that she would abandon it, regardless of whether it could be reversed. The morale alone fell to the bottom.

Gu Yingxiang clapped his hands and said happily: "Jun Xi, you finally lost."

Dong Qi laughed loudly and said: "Let me just say, don't look at Jun Yi's chess strength looks high, in fact, he has a lot of tricks, if he seizes his weakness and hits hard, he will definitely be unable to stand up."

Xu Xiu pouted her lips and hummed: "As long as you talk a lot, you should learn how to speak and breathe, otherwise I won't teach you to sing Sanqu."

Dong Qi said helplessly: "It has long been a habit, so why change it?"

Fang Xianke said coldly: "Jun Xi, you have today." Since Fang Shuxian had lost ten games in a row, Xu Xiu had to say this.

Before Xu Xiu had time to speak, Shao Ting Ai interjected: "He said you have today too."

Hearing this, Xu Xiu stuck out her tongue and said, "I understand, dear brother, you don't have to footnote every sentence that Brother Shuxian says."

Shao Tingao rubbed his nose and smiled, "Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll make a joke again?"

The corner of Xu Xiu's mouth curled up, and he said softly to Fang Xianke: "Brother Shuxian, how about we play the next game?"

Fang Xianke exhaled, and said helplessly, "No."

Xu Xiu quickly interrupted Shao Ting Ai and said, "I understand."

Wei Xiao came over and patted Xu Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, if there are no accidents, tomorrow will be the day when the rankings will be released. I think Jun Xi is thinking about it, and you can win only if you are worthy. There is no need to play with Tong Shuxian anymore, he doesn't touch the chess pieces now."

It's already February 26th, if there are no accidents, there will be a gold list released at Zishi, and then there will be a team to announce the good news, and go to the address reserved by the scholars to deliver the good news. Of course, you can also send your family to check, but Generally, the team that announces the good news is the fastest.

Yan Song's voice was loud and clear, and his words were crisp and powerful. He said, "Do you have confidence?"

"Yes, with my talent, wouldn't I be among the top three?" Dong Qi said proudly, biting a chicken leg.

"Just think about it, don't cry when the time comes." Wei Xiao handed him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe your mouth, such a big person, so indifferent, you don't see how indifferent Jun Yi is."

After waiting for the college entrance examination, although the grade is different from today, Xu Xiu's mentality has been tested for a long time, so naturally she will not have too much reverie for this matter.

Hearing what Wei Xiao said, Xu Xiu shook her hand with a smile and said, "Wenyu's personality is really different from mine."

Lu Shen said: "Jun Xi is also a straightforward person, it's just different."

Tao Ji said with a sad face: "If you don't hit the mark, you can just leave it to fate, what can you think about it?"

"Hey, Tao Er, why do you look so sad?" Xu Xiu asked curiously.In his understanding, Tao Ji seldom had such a sad look.

Lu Shen stroked his sexy mustache and said to him, "He was tossed by those ten thousand jerks."

Lu Shen's words hooked up everyone's spirit of gossip, and they couldn't help booing and asking.

Tao Ji sighed and said, "Yesterday I went to Hanchun Tower for a drink, but Na Wantang stopped me and asked me for an explanation."

"And then?"

Lu Shen picked up the teacup to cover his lips and said calmly: "There is no more."

"What's the explanation?" Xu Xiu asked.

Dong Qi stood up, wiped his hands, coughed, and said, "I have nothing to fear, I only wish to stay with you."

Xu Xiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Is this all right?"

Yan Song squinted at Xu Xiu and said, "Then Wan Tong seems to like masculinity."

Xu Xiu coughed and said contemptuously to Yan Song, "Don't look at me like that."

"Tsk tsk, brother Liang is in trouble now."

Everyone who is doing it is famous for raising people. Maybe this kind of thing is absurd and unruly in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is an elegant thing for literati.

Tao Ji sighed, "I can't bear it."

"If I knew today, why bother?"

When Lu Shen said so, everyone nodded their heads in praise.

…………

The tense and orderly marking work was carried out step by step, from the sealing of names and surnames after the completion of the three exams, to as many as hundreds of scribes transcribing each other's test papers, under the watchful eyes of the two chief examiners The lottery was distributed to the [-]th room marking officer.

For the satisfactory examination papers, the examiner will draw circles with a blue pen and make comments, such as writing: Confucians use books to explain the scriptures.

Then it was delivered to one of the two examiners. The examiner looked at it as if it was OK, and if it was simple, he would write the word "Yilu";Desirable.

It will be checked by another examiner, but it is generally determined by the same examiner, so there will not be much difference. If you agree, write: You should get the profoundness of Neo Confucianism.

Afterwards, the rankings were combined with the results of the last two games. From the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the seven articles were well written, and those who were slightly worse in theory and strategy questions did not have much trouble. At most, the rankings were not good.

Then it's time to make the examiners of each room nervous. At this time, the five five classics leaders will be named. The ranking of the five classics leaders is naturally not low. As a commendation, Fang Guan became the house teacher of Juren at this time, with extraordinary glory.

It was not until February 26 that the list was officially completed.

Just wait for the bell to ring, and hang it outside.
