Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

There is nothing magical about Duan Jiong's method, it's just a method of elimination.

If Wu Shiqi knew the exam questions in advance, he would have made a model essay in advance, and after repeated revisions, he could memorize it thoroughly.

As for composition, especially stereotyped writing, in fact, more attention is paid to format and writing skills, and it has little to do with inspiration.

In particular, the writing must be modified to be gorgeous and smooth. Most of the examiners and fellow examiners in the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty today are scholars from the south, and they have a natural affinity for gorgeous writing.If you write an article in a simple and solemn manner, I am afraid that the paper will be thrown into the wastebasket by Shiba Fangfang the first time.

Wu Shiqi also realized this after being reminded by Su Mu last time, so he naturally had to write and change the exam questions several times.

As for other topics, it is enough to do a warm-up.

In this way, it will be noticed immediately by the governors who have already paid attention.

He was living in a daze, and he didn't find anything unusual.Instead, I feel that my subordinates have been very affectionate to me recently, and they have highly praised his knowledge and articles in words, instead of scolding a villain like before.Whenever there is official business, no matter how big or small, they will come over to ask him for his opinion, and wait until Lord Wu nods before doing it.

Poor Mr. Wu has always been under the look of contempt since he became an official. When he was so supported by his subordinates, he was inevitably happy in his heart. I feel that being an official in this yamen is also very interesting.

But he didn't know that because of this, the three questions that Su Mu leaked to him had been dug up by his subordinates.

At this moment, there are only two days left before Zhengde's one-year examination for Enke.

In other words, as soon as tomorrow is over, they will be called into the examination room.

On this day, Su Mu and Wu Shiqi went home first.

The governors of the experience department stayed behind, and the door of the hall was tightly closed.

The governors gathered around before the big case, and their eyes fell on Duan Jiong.

Duan Jiong picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the paper. While writing, he said: "Masters, the Japanese officials will not come over tomorrow. I have already inquired about that thing, and there is still one day to prepare. Enter the examination room, plus It took ten days to enter the arena. It can be imagined that it is impossible to come back after leaving the General Secretary today. I just gritted my teeth and went in. If I win a Jinshi, I will still be there in the future Let’s meet again in the officialdom. Otherwise, once the exam is over, I’m afraid we will go our separate ways.”

As soon as the words were finished, the three questions fell on the paper.

They are: "Taste the beauty of the wood on Niushan Mountain".

"Mencius said there is no injury".

"Those who want to reunify their families first cultivate their bodies."

……

If Su Mu was present, his eyeballs would fall to the ground in shock: He really underestimated the ancients, they could even find out such a secret thing!

However, this is all fake. If you use my three questions to cheat, aren't you harming yourself?

……

In the hall, everyone's breathing was rapid and heavy, their eyes greedily fell on the topic, and they refused to leave.

After a long time, Niu Deshui murmured: "There are only three questions, only three questions... In the examination room, there are as many as seventeen questions in the three exams. It's a pity, it's a pity that there is not enough time, so we can't find them all. "

Duan Jiong gave him a disdainful look, too lazy to talk nonsense.

Li Zhishi smiled suddenly: "Brother Niu, the three questions are all compulsory questions in the first four-book essay. There are only four questions in total. We already know three questions in advance, which is not enough. To be honest, we are all well-learned." Even if one of the Four Books is unclear and one of the scriptures is not clear, it will not be difficult for us. As for one of the four books and the five strategies of the third session, is it a problem?"

Hearing what he said, everyone laughed softly.

Indeed, the imperial examination, to put it bluntly, is the first round of stereotyped essays.As long as you pass the first round, it doesn't matter how you write in the next two rounds. The unspoken rules of the imperial examination, the results of the last two rounds are just for reference, and they are considered as additional questions.

For the five questions in the first session, everyone has already known three questions in advance. If you fail to pass the exam, you can die.

"Jinshi Jidi!" These four words suddenly flashed in everyone's minds, but in front of them was a bright golden prospect.

The future world makes everyone unable to breathe.

For the first time, everyone felt as if they were holding their destiny tightly in their hands.

At this moment, Duan Jiong put the question paper in front of the candle and lit it, a brilliant fire.

In the swaying light and shadow, Governor Duan's face was distorted, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the reputation of today's Long Live, and it is related to the wealth and lives of Su Mu, Wu Shiqi and me. The head fell to the ground. We did such things quietly, and when the day came, Su Ziqiao might escape his life by relying on his personal friendship with today's Wansui, but there is no reason for us to wait. Remember, remember!"

Not knowing whether it was fear or excitement, Duan Jiong's voice, which had always been arrogant and calm, trembled.

Everyone's breathing was louder, and everyone was shaking violently.

"Let's go!" Governor Li shouted in a low voice, "It's only a day and two nights. If you get the topic, you have to write a model essay first. After repeated revisions, you should memorize it by heart. There is no longer any delay."

"Yes, yes, let's go."

With a roar, several governors quickly packed up their personal belongings, left a letter of resignation, and left.

The day after tomorrow is roll call and entering the arena. Wu Shiqi, as an experience, naturally closed the hall and asked for leave.As a minor governor, Su Mu simply left his resignation letter without closing the office.

By the second day, the entire experience hall of the General Administration Department was completely shut down.Let's go to the Spring Festival together with all the staff, let's make a little sensation!

"People, people, where have they all gone!" Seeing the empty hall, Hua Cha roared loudly, with cold sweat on his forehead.

The other governors thought that they had obtained the exam questions in advance, so they had to prepare themselves, so they didn't show it.

Now Su Mu has his troubles, and he himself knows that the so-called knowing the exam questions in advance is just to make Wu Shiqi happy, as long as he doesn't go crazy.

But when he entered the examination room, the old gentleman saw that the questions were wrong, and immediately fell ill, so what should he do?

Thinking of this, Su Mu felt a faint pain in his head.

In fact, during this period of time, the old man has been taking calming and soothing decoctions, and the house has a pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine all day long.But the efficacy of these prescriptions can only be tested after entering the examination room.

To be honest, for a modern person, traditional Chinese medicine is very effective in treating chronic diseases.But if it really needs to be used for emergency, Su Mu doesn't have much confidence.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mu asked, "Who cooks Mr. Wu's medicine during the day?"

Xiaodie: "Sister Wu did it."

"When you enter the examination room the day after tomorrow, use double the dose."
