A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

If you sleep less than three hours a day, what kind of study content do you arrange?

Such doubts are quite normal.

Shen An didn't think about it, but said like a treasure trove: "Get up in the morning, wash up, and then practice..."

"You are still practicing?"

Some people find it incredible that when they are about to face the test, Taixue is still practicing as usual.

"Why stop?"

Shen An's puzzled look made people itch with hatred. If they could take action, everyone would want to beat him up at this moment.

"Exams are just exams, and a person's life is not only supported by exams..."

Everyone was puzzled, but Bao Zheng's expression changed slightly.

This guy is making a mockery of thousands of troops crowding the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination.

How many scholars were there in the entire Song Dynasty?

countless.

How many people are likely to take the test?

There are so many!

And more and more people are passing through, from a few thousand when the Song Dynasty was founded, to tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands of people come to the capital to participate in the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites, and then compete for the few spots in the palace examination. What is this but a single-plank bridge?

Because more and more candidates passed the test, a strange rule was finally set, which was the quota.

That is to say, there is a quota for admission to the exam.

For example, this year the Imperial College has an admission quota of 108 people, and then these 108 people will take the provincial examination to compete for the qualifications of the palace examination.

The palace examination of the Song Dynasty did not dismiss candidates. In other words, if you passed the provincial examination, you would be a glorious official of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, but then felt something was wrong.

As an emperor, from his perspective, the imperial examination is definitely an excellent means to balance the government.

If there were no imperial examinations, who would govern the Song Dynasty?

Rely on those powerful families?

Then it won't be long before the Song Dynasty will become what it was before the Tang Dynasty, with numerous aristocratic families and humble imperial power.

So he shook his head slightly.

Shen An didn't see him shaking his head, and wouldn't care if he did.

There is a devil inside him.

He wanted to give the Song Dynasty some other choices, not just Confucianism and the imperial examination.

"Daily practice can keep people energetic. Your Majesty, with all due respect, do you want to see energetic ministers, or do you want to see languid poets?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't answer, so Shen An continued: "If everyone in the Song Dynasty held their heads high and had strong steps, would the Liao people dare to covet them? Do they dare?"

What matters these days is style, fluttering sleeves, sleeping on flowers and willows, drinking wine and sleeping with women...

People are good at eating, drinking and having fun, so eating, drinking and having fun became more and more prosperous in the Song Dynasty.

Shen An's tone was sonorous and his eyes were bright: "After the drill, the students will go to have breakfast immediately, and then they will memorize books until class."

"No one takes a break during class. They are either memorizing or writing articles... Even during meals, they are composing poems to support each other."

Shen An asked: "May I ask you, who has ever worked so hard?"

unmanned!

Everyone was shocked.

You talk about hard work, everyone has experienced it, but this kind of hard work while studying even while eating is really not enough!

The intensity of this kind of learning is crazy!

Xiao Qing was standing up, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but kneel down again.

It’s so hard!

He won everyone's sympathy for his hard work, but in the blink of an eye, his hard work turned into a commodity, and he was far inferior to the students of Taixue.

What someone said just now was so bitter, and now it has turned into a joke...

He looked at Shen An who was making an impassioned speech, feeling despair in his heart.

This person is my nemesis!

From the beginning to now, I am no match for him!

Fu Bi couldn't stand it anymore.

As Prime Minister, he was once known as a talented man from Luoyang, but he felt that Shen An had gone astray.

"Knowledge is not learned in this way, it is rigid."

He said confidently: "You have to think about the words of the sages and think about them over and over again, so that you can know the meaning... What can you learn by just memorizing it by rote? Can you..."

Huh!

Everyone was surprised when he suddenly stopped talking and looked embarrassed.

What can be learned?

Everyone looked at Shen An again and realized that what he said was wrong.

In previous years' Imperial College Examinations, those who studied at the Imperial College were always able to win a lot of places.

But this year they...

The whole army was wiped out.

Shen An just looked at Fu Bi and answered his questions in a silent language.

Your question is rubbish!

I taught them in a rigid manner, without letting them think about it carefully, and just taught them directly.

what?

Those rich and powerful children invited great Confucians to teach them, but so what?

Under my rigid teachings, they were still defeated in front of the Taixue students!

What can you do?

Shen An's momentum gradually increased.

"You are quibbling!"

Han Qi said: "The knowledge of the sages should be carefully studied and studied. The students you teach may be the Song Dynasty..."

His face suddenly turned a little red, and then he got stuck.

The two prime ministers and assistants have taken the initiative to withdraw. What does that mean?

After everyone thought about it, they realized something was wrong.

Among the knowledge that everyone has learned, there is little that is practical and much that is empty.

In the previous imperial examinations, poetry was even given top priority. If your poetry fails, I'm sorry. You don't need to take the next exam anymore. Go home.

This is no joke, poems, verses, scriptures, and ink meanings were the essence of the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty. Later, policy discussions and so on began to improve...

What kind of talents can be identified with such examination content?

Zhao Zhen glanced at Han Qi, feeling secretly resentful.

He was sitting on wax.

There is policy theory and so on in the Jinshi subject, but other subjects are just nonsense. The application of scriptures and ink meanings is just basic knowledge, and everyone just memorizes it by rote.

What’s the use of officials who read and pass the test like this?

As the emperor, Zhao Zhen knows best that Mao Zhen is useless!

For example, Su Shi, the job assigned to him was to be the chief registrar of Fuchang County, but this guy didn't accept it and was ready to wait for the system.

This is a typical example of high-mindedness and low-handedness. I think I have great talents, but you only give me the official position of chief clerk. Are you not humiliating me?

Shen An didn't say anything, these attacks were defeated without a fight, and the atmosphere in the palace was a little weird for a while.

Embarrassing! Embarrassing!

Bao Zheng was feeling the atmosphere, and when he saw Zhao Zhen looking a little confused, he left the class and said, "Shen An, I want to ask you, is it all because of hard work that the imperial examination includes the examination?"

That’s a good question!

Lao Bao seemed to object by asking questions, but he was actually helping him pass the test.

Shen An felt proud and said seriously: "Exactly."

Bao Zheng sneered: "But there are so many hardworking people in the world, why don't they win?"

yes!

There are many students in the world who work harder than Taixue students, but they still have no future.

Shen An smiled and said: "There are countless roads to success, and hard work is only one of them. The most important thing is to get the method."

He said with high spirits: "What is the Dharma? Teach the Dharma, learn the Dharma, and only after they are in harmony can you succeed."

"How to teach?"

Bao Zheng's question is exactly what everyone wants to ask, but I'm just sorry.

Shen An said: "When doing the questions, don't just memorize and write articles. Do more, do the questions endlessly every day, make the articles and poems numb, and make you want to vomit just by reading the scriptures and meanings. Only in this way can you achieve success."

puff!

Some people actually burst out laughing.

Ha ha ha ha!

There was a lot of laughter in the hall instantly, and even Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laugh. He thought it was the great scholar Shen An invited who was able to help.

Everyone was laughing, but Shen An stood there.

He squinted his eyes slightly, looking very indifferent.

You guys, do you think this is funny?

The laughter gradually stopped, and someone asked: "Shen An, are you kidding me?"

Play with your sister!

Shen An said calmly: "If you don't believe me, feel free to ask."

"Ask Guo Qian!"

"be quick!"

Someone ran away.

Next the proceedings began.

"Sima Guang...let him know the Admonition Institute!"

Damn it!

Shen An instantly felt her anus tighten and screamed in her heart that it was not good.

Zhijianyuan, as the name suggests, is responsible for supervising and advising, and is higher than the censor.

Will Sima Guang do something dirty to me?

But after thinking about it, Shen An let go of his worries.

If he dares, then everyone will break up and show everyone what a so-called gentleman looks like.

Think about it, if Sima Guang became angry out of shame and became mean and rude...then the civil and military officials in the court would probably think that they were dreaming.

He couldn't help but smile, and then felt very quiet.

He looked up and saw countless eyes staring at him.

This man actually...actually stood in a daze in the court hall, and even laughed.

What a great feeling!

When the person who went to inquire came back, Guo Qian came with him.

Lao Guo came in politely and saluted, and then Zhao Zhen asked: "Why do you think Taixue can win all the examinations?"

This was a wonderful question, and everyone stared at Guo Qian.

Guo Qian glanced at Shen An and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I knew that one day..."

This is... something is wrong!

Xiao Qing's eyes shone, wishing that Guo Qian would say those words right away.

——Shen An cheated!

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, but when he looked over, Shen An was very calm.

Apart from anything else, this young man is quite good at cultivating qi.

At this moment, he forgot about Xiao Qing, who was beaten violently by Shen An.

Guo Qian was a little confused by these looks and said: "At that time, Shen Taizhao insisted on teaching students using... what he called the Tihai tactic. The teachers didn't agree, and the minister didn't agree either. But..."

He said with shame: "He is rich...I am ashamed."

Life in the Song Dynasty was not easy. Just look at Bao Zheng. His eyeballs are getting bigger, which shows the financial difficulties.

Therefore, we can save money in every aspect.

And Shen An, a rich man, became the savior of the Imperial College.

The one who takes the person is short-handed, and the one who eats is soft-handed!

"Later... gradually everyone became numb. The teachers became numb, the students became numb, and the ministers became numb. I didn't know whether it was good or bad until I entered the examination room..."

His eyes were filled with memories: "Those students came out after the exam and said it was very simple. They were not nervous when they got the test papers and questions, because they usually have to do many similar questions every day..."

UI.

Difficulties in the world can only be accomplished with familiar hands.

Guo Qian said with emotion: "I used to think that the knowledge of sages should be learned by asking one's own conscience, otherwise it would be blasphemy..."

He couldn't say anything else.

As a result, Shen An used simple and crude methods to directly subvert his cognition. UU read www.uukanshu.net

Then those powerful children became cannon fodder, and the entire army was wiped out this time.

This was a definite question and answer, and no one dared to question Shen An's achievements in education.

He actually used this method to revive the Imperial College?

Isn't this too special and too unrefined?

How embarrassing are you for those of us who have regarded the knowledge of sages as our guide since childhood?

And there is an even more terrifying thing that makes everyone unable to calm down.

If everyone in the world knew this method...

Reading, reading, turning over and over are those books.

I memorized those books by heart, understood the meanings, and then worked hard on the questions...

I don’t care what questions you ask. After you do it a lot, practice will make you perfect. As long as you find a reliable teacher to guide and evaluate articles and poems...

Let me go, we can actually produce talents in batches!

This matter was criticized by Wang Anshi after he came to power. He believed that the talents produced in this way were useless, so he planned to cancel poetry, scriptures and ink meanings.

That is a matter for the future, but now everyone...the emperor and his ministers all feel that it is impossible to continue like this.

"Horrible!"

I don't know whose words came out, but everyone nodded slightly and agreed.

This young man's actions were indeed terrifying, and directly broke the current deadlock in the imperial examination...
