"Xie Shen, Han Jun, you two stay here."

The prefect of Yao only retained the top two in this prefectural examination, which made the rest of the students very envious, but they felt ashamed in addition to their envy.Who told them that they were not strong enough to achieve the results of the two of them.

After the students left, Yao Zhifu waved his hands at Xie Shen and Han Jun and said, "You two came with me to the inner hall, I have something to say to you."

The magistrate Yao had already talked about this part, so Xie Shen naturally didn't want to say much, and walked into the main hall of the school respectfully together with Han Jun.

Yao Zhifu turned around and lifted his hem, Shi Shiran sat down on the ebony official hat chair, rubbing his forehead and said: "There are many candidates for this government examination, but the articles are mostly idle talk, only you two can speak." If there is something, it is well deserved that the governor selected you two as the top two."

Prefect Yao paused for a moment, and then changed the topic: "But you two should not be complacent, you should do your best to prepare for the academy examination. The government has received news that the grand master will be visiting Shaoxing soon, and you two can act according to the opportunity. "

In Xie Shen's opinion, what Yao Zhifu said before was useless nonsense, but this last sentence is really very useful.

It is generally accepted that the government exam is the most difficult among the junior three exams. Students who are on the list in the government exam usually have no problems in the college exam.However, the prefect Yao deliberately emphasized that he must come to Shaoxing to be promoted to a school official, and asked the two to act according to the opportunity, which is a good thing.

The most important quality of being an official in the Ming Dynasty was not profound knowledge but sharp eyesight and ears, and a lively mind.

Students who are preparing for officials must naturally have this quality.

The academic officer is in charge of a province's academic administration, and the academic officer is the one who conducts the examinations, ranging from the college examinations, the scientific examinations after entering the county, to the rural examinations that determine the merits of a person.That is to say, whether a scholar can get the honor of being a scholar or juren depends entirely on the mood of the academic officer.

Then how to figure out the mood of being promoted to a school official is a compulsory course for the students, and Yao Zhifu's sentence of "choose the opportunity to act" is full of profound meaning.

If one regards Yao Zhifu's words as a contemporary essay question, how to solve the question is particularly critical.

What is the choice of opportunity?What is it to do?

Seeing that Xie Shen and Han Jun were lost in thought, Zhifu Yao was obviously very satisfied.The talents of these two people are outstanding, and they both have a very good chance of getting the student qualifications.But the road ahead is not just a talent that can go on.As the teacher of the two, prefect Yao certainly didn't mind giving them a little advice.But the dialing belongs to the dialing, and the prefect Yao is unwilling to tell the truth.This is the way of being an official. Some words are limited to the point, and the world is hidden in the sleeves.As for whether it can be enlightened or not, it depends on the individual's ability to understand.

"There are two letters here in this mansion, you can take them."

After speaking, Zhifu Yao took out two letters and handed them to Xie Shen and Han Hao respectively.

"Thank you for your teaching!"

Both of them saluted the prefect of Yao together, regardless of the real purpose of the prefect of Yao, as far as the matter of the school official coming to Shaoxing was concerned, the two of them knew in advance that they had indeed gained practical benefits.

"Well, you two should study carefully after you go back, and don't be careless. Go down!"

Prefect Yao said everything that should be said, so he waved his hands to signal the two to back down.

Xie Shen and Han Jun also saluted the magistrate of Yao knowingly, and retreated respectfully.

After leaving the academy, Han Jun asked curiously: "Brother Xie's letter seems to be different from Mr. Han's. I wonder if it was deliberately left by the Master."

Xie Shen said indifferently: "It's not easy to understand the mind of the lord, but since he wrote two letters with great pains, the two of us should read them carefully."

"Brother Xie said that this time, Brother Xie has quietly obtained the case of the government examination. It seems that the little Sanyuan must be in Brother Xie's pocket!"

Xie Shen laughed off Han Jun's flattery.Although the college exam is indeed not as difficult as the government exam, the main examiners of the college exam are academic officials from various provinces.He was appointed by the imperial court to be in charge of a province's academic administration. It can be said that he came from a major and had a professional counterpart.

It must be extremely abnormal for such a professional and technical person to come up with the examination questions.Xie Shen's foundation in ancient prose is not as solid as these elite students who have read books for more than ten years. If the topic is too biased, the result is really hard to say.

Lian Zhong San Yuan, even a small San Yuan will bring Xie Shen great prestige.This is especially important for teenagers from poor families.Only with enough prestige can he gain a foothold in the circle of Yuyao scholars and be valued by others.Only in this way can Xie Shen not be underestimated in the provincial and even general examinations.

Xie Shen is not looking for anything else now, he just wants an environment for taking the exam that is the same as the children of the aristocratic family.

Therefore, after the great master came to Shaoxing, Xie Shen must try his best to meet him, and he must be clever!

Compared with the county examination and government examination, the college examination does not have a fixed time and place, and it depends entirely on the personal schedule of the academic officer.

But the general time is more than half a year after the government test.

For example, if the appointment of a school official is governed by the Linfu, then the government examination will be held in the school.If the appointment of a school official rises to be assigned to a certain county school, then the examination can naturally be conducted in the county school.

Generally speaking, after the government examination is over, the students on the list are in an extremely confused state, because they don't know the specific date of the college examination, and they can only deduce it after the nomination officer presses the deadline.

But Xie Shen didn't have this kind of worry, because Yao Zhifu had already told him the news that the great master would come to Shaoxing Mansion in advance.

Grandmaster didn't come to Shaoxing to visit the mountains and rivers, not to mention that Grandmaster was busy with official duties and had to patrol among various prefectures, so he didn't have free time to squander.Therefore, Xie Shen reckoned that the academy examination would be held within [-] days after the Great Master arrived in Shaoxing Mansion.In other words, there will definitely be a hospital exam before May.

With this psychological preparation, Xie Shen read the book naturally much more leisurely.The time is too short, so it is impossible to cover everything. Xie Shen only went through the main lines of the Four Books and Five Classics in the annotation notes, and put the rest of his time on pressing the questions.

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, it was not popular to publish anthologies of scholars' current literature, so the trend of imitation had not yet formed.But Xie Shen came from time travel, and in his mind there are countless contemporary essays written by famous scholars.

He may not be able to clearly remember every part of the essay, but he can always write down the general idea of ​​breaking the topic and inheriting the topic.Xie Shen's previous writing skills were not bad at all, and in addition to the countless manuscripts in his belly, as long as he can solve the problem well, it is not difficult to write a wonderful article.

However, Xie Shen was wandering in the street with Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi after reading the book that day, and saw Pei Qianhu leading a dozen soldiers towards the south gate.The group of people is mighty and majestic.

As an old acquaintance, Xie Shen naturally had to go up to say hello.
