The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 70
One stone shocked a thousand waves!

The courtroom was silent.

Prefect Yin has been in charge of the government examination for so many years, and it is not the first time he has encountered candidates who handed in the papers early, but he has not seen many candidates who are so confident. The first question of the previous strategy has already proved that he is really good at learning, but handing in the papers Fast or slow, this is the difference between a genius and a talented person. To be able to hand in papers so quickly, one must be a person with quick wit...

The teacup he brought to his mouth froze for a while, then nodded, signaling the clerk next to him to bring up the examination paper.

"The last two policy questions are well written, but..."

After seeing the examination paper, Yin Zhifu was slightly disappointed, thinking that Bai Gui would give him a lot of surprises, but he didn't expect that the content of this examination paper could not be said to be mediocre, but it was not surprising, but the writing style was excellent , can show a solid foundation in middle school.

It can be called first-class, but not as amazing as before!
Should not be!

Just now the first strategy question moved him, but the next two questions were a bit lackluster...

There must be a reason.

"Your first policy question made this official applaud and called you to come forward. Now the two articles are mediocre, far worse than the last one, but Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted? There are no good poems."

Prefect Yin put down the teacup and asked.

In the Southern Dynasties, Jiang Yan was famous for his poetry when he was young, and he was called Jiang Lang.Later, his poetry was not as good as it used to be, so he was called Jiang Lang's talent.

Bai Gui replied: "My lord, the junior's first article talks about diplomacy between Japan and the West, and he still dares to talk nonsense, and it will be a pleasure to make the adults smile. But the next two policy questions involve the political affairs of this dynasty, and the junior has nothing to say." Involved in farming, I have no knowledge of books, I don’t know the laws of the country, and I don’t know the public international law, so I can only find chapters and excerpts from previous articles, and dare not speak out..."

He had already made up his mind about these things.

Lao She's teahouse wrote well, don't talk about state affairs.

Although it is the policy question of the government examination, it is intended to select talents for the sake of the country, but if you really dare to discuss politics and have something to say about some political affairs, is it the prefect, the governor, or the current Emperor Xuantong? , will you really appreciate it?

Probably not!
Young people who are too sharp need to be tempered!
Throughout the ages, why it is difficult for a famous writer to be an official is because he didn’t know that writing articles needs to hide three points of sharpness, and the dragon must have regrets.

Prefect Yin is a tactful person in power, he was able to quietly trick General Zhang with what happened just now, so it is impossible for him to select a scholar based on his talent and learning.

Young, poor family, used to be good at observing words and expressions.

This is the ability he has cultivated in the Lu family, and his talent in Bailing Baili has become even more powerful!

Bai Gui's meaning is very simple: the first policy question is about Taixi's affairs and has nothing to do with state affairs. His answer is no matter what, it's just to make adults laugh.But the latter two policy questions are related to the national economy, so I dare not answer them without authorization. I can only pick some things from some articles answered by previous people.

"Young man, it's better to be aggressive. A stable young man like you is rare." After hearing this, Zhifu Yin calmed down, and his evaluation of Bai Gui in his heart was in vain, but he was still unrelenting. After all, this is the imperial examination of the government examination, and the rules are set in this way. He can't praise this kind of behavior in person for all students to discuss politics.

"What Fu Zun taught me is that, so the younger generation plans to travel abroad to increase their knowledge."

Bai Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied.

This is an opportunity. Although Fujino Haheiji is already applying for the expansion of the number of government-funded study places for him, it is still difficult to rely on only one Japanese lecturer. If there is the permission of Yin Zhifu, this matter will not be difficult.

There is a difference between studying at public expense and at one’s own expense, and it’s not just about money.

"Foreign country?"

"The inscription on your translation is in Japanese, um..., are you planning to stay in Japan?"

Yin Fuzun became interested. Although he couldn't understand the full Japanese, he didn't think the young man was writing indiscriminately. He had just learned that he was a student of General Zhang, and his Japanese would never be bad.

"Yes, this junior is going to Japan to study abroad, let's take a look outside."

Bai Gui said.

Prefect Yin picked up the ink pen and drew four red circles on each of Bai Gui's two strategies, then nodded and said: "I have already taken your article, just go home and wait for the news..."

Although there are still a few follow-up exams, as long as the first one is passed, the next few exams are optional.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Bai Gui bowed respectfully, then turned his head, picked up the examination basket from the case table, and walked from the courtroom to the dragon gate.

But at this moment, it was sunset and dusk, and the sun was setting on the western mountains.

……

In the middle of the night, when the dragon gate was closed, the examinees who walked out of the examination booth dispersed one after another.

In court.

Yin Fuzun, several teaching instructions, and his confidantes, such as the master, are reviewing the examination papers.

"Fu Zun, there are 23 volumes in the first volume, 89 volumes in the middle volume, and [-] volumes in the second volume. The other examination papers were either dirty, never avoided taboos, satirized current affairs, and were all dismissed..."

A scribe pointed to the three stacks of examination papers that had been put away and said.

"Those who enter the imperial examination from higher education institutions will inevitably pay more attention to practical studies than classics. They fall behind these old-school Confucian scholars in writing, calligraphy, taboos, etc., but most of the policy questions they write have something to say, while some Confucian scholars write It's all the words of a saint..."

Speaking of this, Yin Zhifu also sneered: "They really think that this is continuing to take the stereotype test! Confucius can't control the West and the East."

The nearby scribes and edicts also nodded in agreement.

There is no limit to learning, and those who specialize in middle school are inevitably inferior to Western studies, and those who specialize in Western studies are inevitably inferior to middle schools.

"Those that can't combine Chinese and Western, we all degrade them as the second volume, while the middle volume is well-organized and well-written, and the first volume is outstanding in a certain aspect..."

said the scribe.

"Bring these scrolls to the government." Yin Zhifu ordered.

He has so many things to do every day, so how can he read the test papers one by one, except for the test papers of the sitting hall, which he reads one by one, and the test papers of the candidates in the other test sheds are selected by the scribes and teachers, and then presented to him.

Not only the top ten in some county examinations, but also some outstanding students in higher schools.

"No! It's too radical. This test paper cannot be used as a selection. If he becomes a diplomatic ambassador in the future, he will definitely cause trouble for the country."

"No! This is too mediocre."

"No!"

After finishing the 23 papers and taking three or four exam papers, Zhifu Yin felt more and more how appropriate the article written by the young man this afternoon was, and besides, he was related to General Zhang...

Is it the top priority?

He's wobbly!
At this moment, the master walked up to the prefect Yin's side in small steps, and said softly: "Master, a family member is here."

The family refers to the private residence of the prefect of Yin.Although the government office has an official residence, it is inevitable that it is not comfortable to live in.

Prefect Yin got up, walked for a while, and when he came back, he wrote the character "one" with a Chinese ink pen in the blank space at the bottom of Baigui's test paper, marking it as the top of Jingzhaofu's desk.

"Heavenly auspiciousness, it's interesting!"

"He's also from the Normal School..."

"The right time, the right place, and the right people are all available. If you don't order them, who else will you order?"

Zhifu Yin shook his head, couldn't help chuckling, and muttered to himself.

When he left just now, his family members said that the county magistrate of Zishui had given him 300 taels of gift money, and that he had just married a concubine a few days ago.

　Thank you Xiang from his hometown for the 500 starting point coin reward
