Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 124
Qin Guan and Qin Wei hurried forward to salute their father when they saw their father.

Qin Zhang nodded and said, "Let the servants arrange other matters, and you brothers will follow me to the study."

The father and son came to the study, Qin Zhang sat in the main seat, Qin Guan and Qin Wei sat on the chairs beside them, looking at their father.

Qin Zhang looked at his two sons carefully, his face softened a little.In fact, he is quite satisfied with his two sons now. The eldest son, Qin Wei, is honest and honest. Although his talents are limited, he knows how to study hard.

His second son, Qin Guan, had always been his heart disease before. He always thought that he would become a dandy in the future, but he never expected that in just one year, he would pass the examinations of scholars one after another, and he even showed amazing talent in poetry. With the name of Xiao Shixian.

A letter from his wife said that now Qin Guan also knows how to work hard, and has basically been studying at home in retreat for the past few months.

As for finding an oiran concubine, Qin Zhang doesn't think there is anything wrong with young people who are not romantic, as long as it doesn't affect their studies.

"This year's examination time has been announced. It is scheduled to start on March [-]th. The time will be three days. Although there are still three months to go, it will pass in a blink of an eye, so you two brothers are not allowed to go out to play during this period. , Concentrate on reading."

Qin Zhang said the last sentence while looking at Qin Guan.

Obviously, Dad was mainly warning himself.

The two quickly responded.

Then Qin Zhang began to explain the situation of the examination to his two sons. He was born as a Jinshi, so he just passed on some experience to his two sons.Those candidates who want to take the examination will also find one or two Jinshi candidates or candidates who have participated in the examination to understand the content of the examination, so as to know what they know.

"The general examination is different from the college examination and the rural examination. The general examination only examines three items of classics and meanings, policy theory and poems. There are five questions on classics and meanings, two questions on policy theory, and one poem and prose each. So you mainly work on these three aspects."

"You have all tested the meaning of the scriptures. Taking the Chinese sentences in the scriptures as the topic to clarify its meaning mainly depends on your mastery and understanding of the meaning of the scriptures. I will not say much about this."

"Poetry and prose are the most important thing to look at innate talents, and they pay attention to on-the-spot performance. I won't say much about this aspect. I will mainly talk to you about policy topics."

"What is a policy theory? A policy theory is an article that discusses current political issues and offers advice to the court. When you answer policy theory, you must remember a few points,"

"When answering questions, you should analyze in order, solve problems, and build reputation between standing talks. To win the examiner's attention and appreciation, you must write more of your own opinions, discuss each matter, and express only one point of view in an article , concise and powerful, sharp and sophisticated.”

"Of course, we should also pay attention to the examiner's preferences. This time, the presiding officer is Mr. Zeng Yu. Zeng Xianggong is the prime minister. His philosophy of governing the country is to focus on commercial development, and he monopolizes tea, salt, iron, and wine. Encouragement Trade circulation, strengthen overseas trade, pay attention to business rules, and increase fiscal revenue.”

"The 'Anji Hall' was established to adopt widows, widows and lonely people, and rescued countless suffering people."

Hearing this, no matter how Qin Guan heard it, he felt that Mr. Zeng Yu was a capable minister. Qin Guan remembered that his Qin family was attached to Mr. Shen Zheng. Everyone knew that Shen Zheng and Mr. Zeng Yu were rivals. Could it be that My side is a faction of traitors.

But what Qin Zhang said next immediately overturned Qin Guan's thoughts.

"However, this person Zeng Yu is treacherous, corrupt, corrupts officials, and controls the government. His party feathers are all over the entire Great Zhao Kingdom. If there is any disagreement, he will be attacked with harsh methods."

"A few years ago, when Zeng Yu celebrated his birthday, the gift-giving carriages blocked three streets. It is said that the gift he received that day was worth several million coins."

"That's not counting. The most important thing is that for the Liao Kingdom, which poses the greatest threat to our Great Zhao Kingdom, he advocates allocating land to seek peace, does not advocate using troops, and pays tribute every year. However, they dispatched supervising troops everywhere to strictly control the military supplies, and also ordered the supervising troops to control military power, so that the generals who fought had no commanding power."

"The Liao Kingdom has repeatedly violated the frontier to test our country, and plundered countless food from the people. The people on the frontier have no means of living. Do you know what Zeng Yu said in the court? He said that it was just scabies. .”

"He is a dignified prime minister, but he is so bloody. The Liao people looted all the people of our Great Zhao Kingdom."

Having said this, Qin Zhang's face was clearly angry.

Qin Guan only found out today that his father was actually a cynical figure. Qin Guan tentatively asked: "Father, our Qin family is attached to Mr. Shen, so we can be regarded as the main fighter."

Qin Zhang looked at Qin Guan, and said: "It can be said that Mr. Shen is dedicated to serving the public. If he hadn't supported him in the court, I'm afraid that Zeng Yu would have sold half of the Zhao Kingdom to the Liao Kingdom. Although he once Yu controls the civil servants, but Mr. Shen has the support of all the martial arts families."

Qin Guan suddenly understood why he had a fiancée from a martial arts family.It turns out that the root is here.

Qin Zhang also noticed that he was talking about the imperial examination, but now he was talking about the factional disputes in the imperial court.

He continued: "This year, Zeng Yu will preside over the examination, so when you take the examination, if you have questions about foreign military tactics, don't be too aggressive when answering the questions, and pay attention to your sense of proportion."

Qin Wei was very puzzled and asked: "Father, do you want us to go against your idea and flatter and support Zeng Yu instead?"

After hearing what the elder brother said, Qin Guan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Qin Zhang looked at the eldest son, and said earnestly, "It's not to flatter you, but not to be too intense. Wei'er, my father told you something, I hope it will be useful to your future life."

"Excessive humility is hypocrisy; excessive self-confidence is conceit; excessive comity is pedantry; excessive stretching is indulgence; excessive majesty is arrogance; excessive humility is inferiority; excessive easygoing is kitsch; excessive self-improvement is arrogance; excessive shrewdness is treachery; excessive frankness is recklessness : Walking around the world, being able to judge the times and situations is a great wisdom and a real skill.”

Judge the situation! ! !

These four words are the key.

Qin Guan knew that his father was the kind of person who had ideals but was not pedantic, not the kind who would throw his head and blood for the sake of ideals and rush forward regardless.

Qin Guan likes such people.

Such a person cannot be regarded as a pure person, but he can be regarded as a smart person.

Qin Guan was very pleased.

But in the next second, Qin Zhang's words made Qin Guan fall into an ice cave.

"Forget it today. Starting tomorrow, I will check your homework. The two of you should do at least one scripture every day, and one theory every three days."

Suddenly, Qin Guan felt that the weather in Nanjing was so cold.
