Saint of the Confucian way

"You dare to stop me from patrolling the examination room!" Inspector Geng snapped.

"No, I'm afraid that the two children's rough hands and feet will annoy you, Hanlin. After all, your son died at the hands of Jingguo people. Jingguo can't annoy you any more! I'll go down in person to replace the two children's inspection and you'll supervise!"

Feng Zimo finished seriously, took Fang Yun's bookcase, slowly took out the things and put them on the desk for Geng patrol to see.

Fang Yun didn't say a word, but he knew in his heart that inspector Geng wanted to destroy his four treasures of study with two children.

"If I am provoked, I will fail in this government examination. I'm afraid this is just the beginning. In these three days, he will continue to harm me in this way! I must find a way to prevent him from acting rashly!" Fang Yun kept thinking.

Feng Zimo put all Fang Yun's things out and said with a smile, "Lord Geng, what else do you think is missing?"

"Hum!" Inspector Geng stared at Fang Yun and didn't know what he was thinking.

Fang Yun suddenly said to Feng Zimo, "Lord Feng, I don't rub sand in my eyes. This exam is very important to me. If someone dares to ruin my future, I will ask the saint to judge! Ask the saint to preside over justice."

Feng Zimo immediately said, "in the imperial examination, if you encounter injustice, everyone can ask the holy judge, and you are no exception!"

"You..." Inspector Geng was so angry that he couldn't speak. Once he asked the holy judge, things would get out of control, which was not the result he wanted to see.

Others don't dare to ask the holy judge casually, but Fang Yun is not afraid at all since he once asked for the holy election.

"Hum!" Inspector Geng gave a cold hum and brushed his sleeve to leave.

Feng Zimo took a look at Fang Yun and left with him. At the same time, he released the shackles of the two officers.

Knowing that inspector Geng would not embarrass himself in the exam, Fang Yunxin smiled, sat back in his chair and began to tidy up the four treasures of study on his desk to prepare for the next exam.

As like as two peas in the three subjects, the first and the first are the simple questions and the opening of the Analects.

"Confucius said," it's a pleasure to learn while learning. "There was a blank in the back. Fang Yun immediately picked up his pen and added: it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. People who don't know but don't sulk are also gentlemen.

In the process of answering questions, the world of strange books did not move, and Fang Yun did not use the power of the world of strange books, and answered questions purely by virtue of his own memory and understanding.

Fang Yun has memorized all the saints' original works.

Soon, Fang Yun came across a very tricky question: when did he Yunxiang, the semi saint of kaowu state, go to Mingnan mountain.

Fang Yun rummaged and found that he Yunxiang had gone to mingnanshan four times, and there were clear records three times. He just needed to write it directly, but there was no record of the time when he went to mingnanshan for the second time.

Fang Yun thought carefully and looked for all the works related to he Yunxiang's second visit to mingnanshan. Finally, he only found a long ancient poem and a section of he Yunxiang's memory.

That long ancient poem is called "moon Nanshan", which was written by he Yunxiang when he ascended Nanshan at the age of 19. At this time, he Yunxiang's literary name was unknown.

"This poem must be the key."

Fang Yun recalled he Yunxiang's long poem and soon found a poem very interesting.

The strong wind cut half the moon.

Fang Yun thought: "A very important premise of poetry is' Jingzhen '. Although he Yunxiang was young at that time, he would not write casually. The phase of the moon changes with time, such as the new moon, the full moon, the waning moon, etc. when the phase of the moon is the first quarter or the second quarter, there is only half of the moon, which is like being split by a knife, which is in line with the sentence" strong wind cuts half the moon " The seventh and eighth days of each month are the first quarter months, while the twenty second and twenty third are the second quarter months. "

"That is to say, at present, he Yunxiang's visit to mingnanshan in a few months is uncertain, but it must be on one of the four days of the seventh, eighth, twenty second and twenty third of a month."

"There is also a saying in this ancient poem that 'there was an ice wheel at midnight last night', which is another name for the moon. Midnight is between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. when the moon rises, it should be the second half of the moon. Because the moon rises very early in the first half of the month, it is impossible to 'there was an ice wheel at midnight last night', so we can rule out the seventh and eighth days of the seventh day."

"However, this is not enough. We still need to judge what month it is. There is also a sentence in this poem 'yellow dog lies in the flowers'. He Yunxiang's works do not mention what is yellow dog, but another semi Saint Li Daoyuan mentioned yellow dog in a travel note, saying that there is a yellow bug in Hezhou, which is called yellow dog by local people."

"Yellow dog insects like grey chrysanthemums, while grey chrysanthemums in Hezhou only bloom in August and September. Now it can be confirmed that this poem was written in August or September. He Yunxiang wrote in his memory: when crossing the Xu River, the water is below his knees, and the Xu River is at the foot of Mingnan mountain. According to Li Daoyuan's notes to the water classics It is recorded that the water level of the Xu River can be lowered to the knee only during the dry season from September to December every year. In this way, it can be determined that this poem is written in September. "

After a complicated analysis, Fang Yun cited scriptures and answered the question.

"This question involves astronomy, geography, hydrology, plants, animals, poetry and so on. I can guarantee that ordinary Jinshi don't answer correctly! The person who made the question is really wonderful!" Fang Yun thought in his heart, shook his head and continued to answer the question.

Fang Yun kept writing. At noon, the clerks of the literary academy sent meals. The government examination takes three days, and the food brought by the candidates themselves may be broken, so the Academy of arts provides three meals for tens of thousands of candidates.

After lunch, Fang Yun continued to answer the questions. He didn't finish the first 90 pages until dinner. The last 10 pages were all silently memorized questions. Fang Yun left them alone first.

After dinner, Fang Yun checks the first 90 pages of the holy word.

During the inspection of the holy words, the world of strange books moved and began to show the correct answers in gold, just as when Fang Yun participated in the county examination.

Relying on the wonderful book world, Fang Yun quickly checked the 90 page holy words and found that he had memorized two wrong questions, and three questions were not answered completely, ignoring some details in the holy classics.

After correcting the wrong questions, Fang Yun began to dictate the questions on the last ten pages until midnight. Fang Yun lay down on the humble bed in the examination room and went to bed.

At 6 a.m. on the second day of June, Fang Yun woke up like many candidates, either waiting for breakfast or continuing to answer questions.

At noon, Fang Yun answered all the holy words. When the ink was dry, he received them together. Then he sat down and rested while waiting for the other two subjects.

In the evening, the section of asking for holy words ended, but the attendant did not take away the examination paper of asking for holy words, but directly sent out the examination questions of the section of poetry.

This year's poems have three propositions, which are more specific than the county test. They require writing weapons, rivers and chanting one of the saints of Confucianism. Only one poem can be written.

Fang Yun thought for a moment, because the real focus of the government examination was the meaning of the third subject, to test the students' understanding of the holy classics. He couldn't waste too much time on poetry, so he wrote a poem:

The shore is broad, the masts are sparse, and the waves are boundless. How long do you think alone by the dangerous sill. Outside the trees and sparse forests, half of the autumn mountains have a sunset.

Poetry, talent appears, only a little short of reaching the house.

After writing, Fang Yun didn't waste time, because he wanted to go all out for the next Sutra, so he continued to recite the holy classics with his eyes closed.

The ranking of scholars, scholars and scholars is arranged according to the Scriptures.

If one person's holy words, poems and scriptures are Grade A, Grade A and grade B respectively, while the other person's are grade C, grade C and grade a respectively, the latter is bound to win the championship.

Poetry is the strongest power of the holy way, but it is not the foundation of the holy way. Scripture is the foundation of the holy way. Even Confucius' own disciples should often make Scripture.

However, the Scripture can not be used directly like inviting holy words or poems. To write Scripture, we must rely on Fang Yun, because Scripture is his own understanding of the holy classics and the holy way. If Fang Yun can't write good scriptures, or the scripture written is inconsistent with his own ideas, it is tantamount to destroying his literary courage.

Before Fang Yun, he spent most of his time on the meaning of Scriptures because he knew that he could learn the meaning of scriptures in the heaven and earth of strange books, and even quote some of them like writing papers in later generations, but he must not copy them completely.

As long as the righteousness is done well, the foundation of the holy way can be fixed forever, and the foundation of the holy way will be fixed forever, and there will be a chance of canonization. Therefore, even if the great Confucianism knows the world without poetry, it is still the first of the four talents of the previous generation and the most likely person among the great Confucianism to be canonized.

On the morning of the third day of June, the Academy of Arts opened the third subject, Jingyi.

Taking the sentences in the holy classics as the title, the literati expounded the righteousness contained in them, which is the meaning of scriptures.

Different from the two subjects of holy words and poetry, no one handed out the test paper before the Jingyi examination. All the candidates stood straight behind their desks and looked at the direction of the holy temple.

Not long after, the whole literary academy was slightly shocked, and everything seemed to form a strange resonance. An indescribable sound appeared. No one could describe the distance, size or other of the sound, which seemed to be a strange sound directly reaching the soul.
