Prime Minister

Chapter 315 The situation is not as good as Germany

Five candidates began to write articles. In the past, they did not prepare manuscript paper for the Six Exams of the Secret Pavilion, so the articles were a bit sloppy.But this subject began to allow the use of manuscript paper for the exam, so the candidates first wrote the article on the manuscript paper.

Every move of the five candidates can be said to fall into the eyes of the four examiners.

It can be said that there is a little knowledge of who can and who can't.

Wang Kui was sweating profusely, his pen was lying down, sweat dripped down while writing, he wiped his sweat with his sleeve from time to time, and even stared blankly at the books on the shelf, muttering something.

Wang Jie, the oldest among you, sometimes frowns slightly while writing, and sometimes suddenly becomes enlightened.Generally speaking, the emotions are not too much exposed, and it is worthy of being the one among the five who has really experienced being an official.

And Su Shi's face is full of joy when he writes, but he seems to be quite congested when he looks at his brushwork.Of the five people present, the other four were writing with their wrists and elbows hanging, or even writing with their elbows flat, and their pen movements seemed to be dancing, but he was the only one with his wrist on the desk, as if writing each word with great pains.

Most of today's calligraphers do not advocate this way of writing. Sweat easily wets the paper, which is not conducive to seeking beauty.

And others are double hooks, Su Shi still writes with single hooks.Others move their pens straight, but Su Shi is lying down.

There must be people talking about it outside, but several examiners saw that Su Shi's writing was strange, but they also felt that it was okay to be eclectic.

His younger brother Su Zhe was calm and cautious, always frowning slightly, and answered the questions meticulously.However, it seems that the sick body has not recovered, his face is a little pale, and he coughs from time to time.

However, Su Zhe looks serious on the outside, but he writes very sharply.

For example, in the first question, the king did not rule the barbarians, but he actually said that Confucianists must be careful about what they learn, and if they learn incorrectly, they will be sick for life. The book of "Gongyang" is a heterogeneous theory rather than unified, and it uses many new ideas to confuse the eyes and ears of the world. Those who ruled "Gongyang" with Han Confucianism, compared with other scriptures, are the most pedantic.As for He Xiu, and its intention is more than that of "Gongyang", because of its momentum.

There is a good saying of the Gongyang Jing that "there is no uniformity in different opinions", and it also scolds the scholars who study the Gongyang Jing, calling it pedantic.As for He Xiu, who bet on the ram, the same is true.

Su Zhe's articles are not at all like his honest and honest appearance.

As for Zhang Yuezi, he was also reserved, but he was the last one among the five who held the most weight.It's like writing an ordinary article, without any nervousness.

Yang Tian, ​​who was sitting in front of Zhang Yue, looked at the ink book that the other party answered the question, it can be described as ingenious and clumsy.Every stroke and every stroke is extremely neat and rigorous.

The so-called self-love without asking for beauty is exactly what it is said.

He really deserves to be the number one scholar, Yang Tian couldn't help but praise him from the bottom of his heart.Admiration is admiration, they are still staring at the every move of the five candidates.

After reading the six questions, Zhang Yue can be said to be confident.

The most difficult part of the Six Theories of the Secret Pavilion is the source and annotations. Because the scope of the questions is boundless and all-inclusive, it can be said that passing the pavilion is as difficult as reaching the sky.

But for three months, he studied in Taiping Xingguo Temple during the day, and read in his dream for another five hours at night.

Read history for one month, read children's books for one month, and review all the books you have read in the last month or so.

Three months of reading is equivalent to a year for others, plus the previous accumulation of Confucian classics, it can be said to be a matter of course.

For the first question, the king does not rule the barbarians.

The more the chapter is written, the better.

The argument said: Han Changli said that if the princes use barbarian rituals, they will be barbarians, and if barbarians enter China, then China will be. This is the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period. "Spring and Autumn" book "Guild Rong Yuqian".He Xiu said: "Wang Lu in "Spring and Autumn Annals" was the first to rectify himself in detail. He was self-serving and less responsible to others, so it was a bit outside. The king does not rule the barbarians. Those who record the army, do not reject those who come, and do not chase those who go. Yes It also means entering China."

In the second year of Duke Yin of Lu, the king met with Rong (Yi Di) Yu Qian.

Therefore, He Xiu wrote in the annotation, "The Spring and Autumn King Lu (a book written by Confucius with King Lu as the first perspective), let's do our own things first, and reflect on ourselves and blame others, so the things about Yi Di are not recorded.

The king does not study barbarians, but if barbarians come to China, we will record them, and we will not remember them when they leave.

Zhang Yue quoted Han Yu's words here, "If barbarians enter China, China will come."The barbarians who took the initiative to come to China to deal with us are civilized people who agree with our Chinese civilization.Therefore, although the king does not rule the barbarians, we cannot refuse civilized people.

This topic is not difficult, what is difficult is the source (Society Rong Yuqian) and the context of quoting notes (a long passage by He Xiu).

At the same time, those who directly quote the words in the book, or change the title slightly are clear numbers.

In addition, the sentence is read upside down, the beginning and the end are hidden and the title is an implicit number. To put it bluntly, the source of the note should be hidden in the full text, and it cannot be quoted directly.

In the six theories of the Secret Pavilion, light and dark must be intertwined, and the number of darks should not exceed half.

The following questions are not difficult at all for Zhang Yue who is familiar with the story.

When the time comes, etiquette, righteousness and trustworthiness are enough to become a theory of virtue.

This question comes from Fan Chi learning how to grow crops from Confucius.Confucius said I don't know how to do this, you can ask the old farmer.After Fan Chi left, Confucius turned his back and said to the students, Fan Chi is really a villain.If a gentleman is kind, the common people will follow you. Why do you grow your own crops?

Bao Xian said in his commentary that "propriety, righteousness and faith are enough to make virtue, so why use learning from crops to teach the people?" '

Here, Zhang Yue thought of the issue of whether the chrysanthemums will fall or not fall during the period collection.

One person asked himself: "Why don't you ask the sages and ask the old farmers."

This person probably forgot this sentence, Confucius himself said this sentence, learning Jiawu is not as good as an old farmer.

But Confucius was also an official of Chengtian and Yuanyuan in the past.

When Zhang Yue wrote this question, he defended Fan Chi one or two times.

In the end, the situation is not as good as morality.

This sentence is also a test of skill.

The source of this sentence is a sentence in Tai Shigong's praise saying "Wu Qi said that Marquis Wu is not as good as virtue because of the situation."

But it's just that this sentence doesn't work, what did Wu Qi and Wei Wuhou say?

This sentence is more important than the original text.

At that time, Marquis Wu of Wei and Wu Qi went down the Xihe River, saying that this situation was the treasure land of Wei State.For Wu Qi, Germany is not in danger, and the three seedlings in the past... (listing the favorable geographical situation in Xia and Shang Dynasties were finally destroyed). From this point of view, Germany is not in danger.If the ruler does not cultivate virtue, all the people in the boat will be enemies.

Therefore, juxtaposition of these two sentences is a clear explanation.

Each theory is more than [-] characters, and the six theory totals more than [-] characters.

Zhang Yue finished writing on the manuscript paper, slightly deleted and corrected, and then transcribed and corrected on the volume.

After finishing the six theories, Zhang Yue realized that it was a little past noon, and Su Shi and the others were busy copying.

Zhang Yue also noticed the peculiarity of Su Shi's handwriting. He remembered that when Su Shi first came to Beijing, many people also said that Su Shi's handwriting was weird.

From then on, Su Shi also had a clear idea.

Zhang Yue immediately cleaned up the table, which surprised other examiners and candidates.The Six Theories of the Secret Pavilion lasted for a day and a night, and the chapter was written so quickly?

At this moment, Su Shi is having trouble discussing that the situation is not as good as virtue. He remembers that Wu Qi said that virtue is not in danger, and Wu Qi said that the situation is not as good as virtue, but he forgot the context of the connection between these two sentences.

However, he saw that Zhang Yue had packed the table and case, handed the test paper to Yang Tianhou in front of him, bowed his hands to everyone, and strode away.

"It's so natural and unrestrained!" Su Shi sighed.
