Chapter 56

Xie Shen had a good impression of this Yuyao classmate, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Brother Han came so late, I thought Brother Han wouldn't come to participate in the government examination."

Han Hao laughed loudly and said, "Brother Xie is good at joking, even if Han forgets anything, he can't forget to take the government exam. But Han, seeing that Brother Xie came to Fucheng early to prepare for the exam, should be determined to win the government exam, right? "

Han Jun's county test results are not bad, just behind Xie Shen and Xie Pi, so his strength is naturally extremely strong.Hearing these words, Xie Shen felt a faint sense of challenge.This is nothing, as long as it is a fair competition, Xie Shen will not be afraid.

"Brother Han, are you going to compete with someone? If you lose, you will be treated to a meal!"

"I heard that this government examination is conducted by the governor himself. We should try our best to do our best. We must not lose face to Yuyao students."

Han Hao's words seemed very angry. He didn't emphasize his personal ranking, but cheered everyone up from the standpoint of Yuyao students.Among the few people present, except for Wang Shouwen, who was a little less educated, the other three were all top imperial examination talents selected by Yuyao County. If they couldn't carry the banner and give Yuyao a face, others would have nothing to count on.

"Brother Han's news is well-informed. The governor has been in Shaoxing for more than half a month, and the main examiner's government examination is also reasonable."

At this moment, there was a squeak, and the gate of the government school had been opened by the official of the Yamen.

Several students rushed up immediately, but were scolded by the gentleman.

Due checks were unavoidable, and after a "humiliating" body search by the yamen officials, these students were let in.

Xie Shen said lightly: "Brother Han, please."

"Thank you brother please!"

Xie Shen and Han Jun walked in front, Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi followed behind, and a group of four squeezed into the school with the flow of people.

Because Governor Liu personally took the exam, the school was redecorated, and even the rafters leading to the hallway of the hall were tied with red ribbons.Xie Shen secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that Yao Zhifu tried his best to please Governor Liu.

Is it necessary to be flattered by officials?

Bypassing the screen wall in front of the school, Xie Shen came to the gentleman who was distributing wooden signs.After receiving his own number plate, Xie Shen went straight to the hall.The location of the number house this time is in the middle section, which is not as good as the county test in comparison.However, these external factors are not the key to determining the final test score, but it doesn't matter.It was Xie Shen who inadvertently caught a glimpse of Sun Ruoxu's back.After several times of entanglement between Eldest Young Master Sun and Xie Shen, Xie Shen could recognize him even when he turned into ashes.It can be seen that Sun Ruoxu has kept a low profile since he was at the end of the Minghang County Examination list, and he didn't even take the initiative to trouble Xie Shen.

Also, the reason why Sun Ruoxu was arrogant before was because his knowledge was still outstanding.But after being severely slapped in the face by the county examination, how dare he express any dissatisfaction with Xie Shen, who has the head of the county examination?

Even though he hated Xie Shen so much, Sun Ruoxu could only use some tricks secretly, but he didn't dare to act recklessly in the open.

The Ming Dynasty was an era that focused on strength, and for scholars, the imperial examination results were naturally the hardest strength.Xie Shen has always been a pragmatist, and everything he does is naturally the best choice after careful consideration.

Sitting down in the dormitory, Xie Shen took out the food, pen and ink, and inkstone from the wooden basket respectively.

It's just that this time, the person who sorted things out for him was changed from Shui Yun to Erya Little Lolita.Although the little loli is not as stable as Shui Yun, and she is a bit arrogant, but there will be no problems in key matters.

Compared with the county examination, the prefectural examination only has three examinations, namely two examinations of Chinese literature and one examination of post poetry.

Xie Shen was still a little unhappy about this.After all, he has a lot of poems in his mind, but not many words that can be used directly.At first, he learned that Yao Zhifu himself liked poetry, so he judged that the test post poetry meeting was the focus of the government examination.However, since the chief examiner was temporarily replaced by Governor Liu, the purpose of the examination naturally changed.This blame really cannot be dumped on Yao Zhifu.

So far, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and take the exam.

Xie Shen only hoped that Governor Liu's questions would not be too biased or weird.

Hearing the crisp sound of clappers, Xie Shen knew that it was officials from the prefectural school who came to post the questions.

He respectfully took the test questions tied in a tube tied with red strings from the officials, trying to calm down his mood.

The prefectural examination is the same as the county examination, which means that the examiners can clearly know who wrote each test paper.Xie Shen has already left a good impression on Governor Liu and Zhifu Yao, so he doesn't have to worry about being buried.What he has to do now is to exert his best strength and try to get the first case in the government examination.

Opening the test paper, Xie Shen almost laughed out loud as he looked at the line of lower characters on it.

"Therefore, the Taiwang's business was to go to Goujian's business to Wu."

This topic comes from "Mencius under King Hui of Liang". King Xuan of Qi had a dialogue with Mencius. Mencius advocated benevolence in getting along with neighboring countries.Moreover, Mencius admired the practice of "Taiwang serves the emperor" and "Goujian serves Wu".

When Xie Shen was reviewing the book the day before yesterday, I happened to read this section of "Mencius", and I also carefully read Wang Shouren's collection of annotations, which can be said to have hit the topic.More importantly, in Xie Shen's impression, Tang Xianzu seemed to have written a current article on it.

Although Xie Shen couldn't remember all of Tang Xianzu's articles, he could still memorize the general content.

Picking up the pen and dipping it in the ink, Xie Shen began to write quickly.

"The matter of the two monarchs is too big, and the wisdom is enough to see it."

The beginning of this article is groundbreaking, and the full text is named.

The two monarchs are Taiwang (the father of King Wen of Zhou) and Goujian, and Xie Shen directly expressed his admiration for them.

"King Husband and Goujian are both wise in plotting the country, and they have to do what they want to do. And since ancient times, the overlords have forgotten the big plans before they were petty. The king and Goujian saw it. Small matters are big, since ancient times. Now Qi has neighbors like Xie Yanye, please be the king; and neighbors like Wu Ye, please be Goujian. Otherwise, I will be afraid of Qi, wise man No reason."

Xie Shen added some of his own understanding to the whole article, and the writing was done in one go.

This is sometimes the case with imperial examinations. The ecstasy in my heart when I encounter a difficult topic is difficult to describe in words.

The prefectural exam is different from the county exam. There are only three exams and it is a consecutive exam.And even the test post poems are written tests, not interviews.

After Xie Shen finished answering the first question, he didn't need to wait any longer, he just needed to start the second question and continue answering.

He slowly unfolded the inscription paper, only to see a line of ink characters written on the inscription paper-"The ocean is so developed and everything is as high as the sky".
