Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

The new official Chen Yushi took office as the three fires, just when he was about to do big things without fear of sacrifice, he held the will to be strict and stared at the candidates in the field.

Anyone who deliberately didn't stretch out to make mischief, punched eyebrows in a lawsuit, stretched their necks to look at someone else's case, or took a few more glances at the clerks when drinking... The students in the field asked him to catch a few examples to kill chickens and monkeys. They all shrank in their own chairs just like chickens that had suffered from the plague, and did not dare to move.

Because the rows of tables and chairs are all made of bamboo, and someone next to him moved a little, the chair under Cui Xie's buttocks trembled, and they all settled down. He sat calmly so that he could examine the question properly.

The first topic is the chapter "Taibor Yao is the King". The original sentence was praised by Confucius, with the word "Zi Yue" before it. Danghua! The people are incompetent.

In the "Tao De Jing", there is the phrase "too great, the people don't know it, and the next is close and praise". Although the Confucian Classics does not recognize anything to do with the Tao Te Ching, the sentence "the people are incompetent to name Yan" is interpreted in the chapter sentence as "only Yao rules the world, so the people have nothing but the name", and "the people don't know what they have." Slightly similar; and the sentence "Only the sky is great, and only Yao is great" is also indistinctly consistent with "the old way is great, the heaven is great, the earth is great, and the king is also great", and "there are four great things in the domain, and Wang Chuqiyiyan".

The four majors in the Tao Te Ching are called together, and the king is the great. In the Analects of Confucius, Yao is the virtue of the king, and the emphasis is also on greatness. His virtue is as vast as the sky, and the people cannot describe it. Therefore, he can only praise the majestic achievements he has built and the refreshing articles he has written.

This is the context, so this "big" should be used to dominate the whole article. The first four are pros and cons of "their virtue and incompetence", the last four are divided into articles on his merits, and the end is the basis, and the last Its big...

Just end with "nothing to add"!

A small essay with a total of 300 words, the first demonstrated that Yao's virtue is the greatest, and the ending is more short, powerful, and topical!

With the concluding sentence and outline, it is simpler to push back and break the sentence. The central idea of ​​the original question is that Confucius praised Yao's great virtues for being difficult to describe, so he extracted it after breaking the question, and focused on this "big" word——

"The saint Zangu's virtues are so great that it is inexhaustible!"

The inscription written "difficult to complete the form", and the unclear meaning of the subject should be taken into account when submitting the title, and it is explained in detail why it is "difficult to complete". When Confucius praised Yao, he first said that "the people are incompetent", and praised "It's so majestic, it has success; Huanhu, it has essays", and his meritorious article is Yao's deeds and the final government of the outside world. It fully reflects its "great virtue".

With this sentence, he went on to write "Yao De a day, so morality cannot be named, and success and essays, how can it be enough?"

Sizhenzan is difficult to recite, and the proposal is unique!

Chen Yushi was supervised strictly, and the examinees next to him sat honestly. Cui Xie's thoughts when he was writing the questions were as smooth as silk, and the words flowed out naturally like ink. That is to say, follow the three lines of virtue, meritorious service, and prophecy. After the last one is written, the conclusion will return to its virtue-"the sky is to forget its respect, and the people to forget its virtue."

So far, there is only one finishing touch.

He wrote the concluding sentence that he had prepared for a long time, "There is nothing to add," and he exhaled a sigh of relief.

This exhaled voice was much heavier than his usual exhalation, and it was echoing. Suddenly, Cui Xie looked up and looked around, only to see a figure in Tsing Yi leaning against the table, holding a small seal, and looking at his papers seriously with his eyes down, as if he had just breathed a sigh of relief. of.

It turned out to be a school tour.

He seemed to be just bowing his head to write the paper just now, did he not do anything else? Could it be that the students next to him were dishonest and attracted Xuezheng?

He stared at the Zhu Yin in his Qingpao and Xuezheng's hands for a few more glances. Chen Ti Xuewei was aware of it, and he reached out and pressed his rebirth on his desk, and whispered: "Do your subject, read the book What is the officer!"

Master Chen waved his sleeves, turned and left, but the little scarlet seal was not printed on his paper, which made all those who drank a stamp and lowered the paper by one level to score.

Cui Xie lowered his head, just as he could not see their grievances, and proceeded to make the "Shi Yun Zhou is an old country".

There is also a sentence in universities: "Poetry Yun Zhou is an old state", but this sentence is used to explain the principle of "Xinmin", one of the three syllabus of the university, with "Zhou is an old state, but its fate is restored." But "Mencius" used this sentence, but Mencius borrowed Zhou Wenwang's matter to persuade Tengwen to set up a preface to teach the people, and to use the minefield method to enrich the people's livelihood.

Zhou Wenwang is not bound by the ancient system because Zhou is the old state, and adopts new laws. If Teng Wengong can use Wenwang as his teacher, establish schools, reform tax laws, and renew his country, it will be enough to make the country prosperous. And if there are kings in later generations, they will also use King Teng as their teacher, and imitate Teng's way of governing internal affairs today.

When Mencius persuaded Teng Wengong, he hoped that he would listen to his persuasion and improve the country so as to become a "master of the king." Thousands of years later, in the Ming Dynasty, these Confucian scholars read "Mencius" in order to help the ruler of the world.

After reading Mencius's strategy of governing the country, what they want to write is not just the way of making a small country prosperous and strong, but also applying Mencius's “renewal” governance ideas to the present and to recommend the future sons of the future.

If I am not the master of the king, I must be the king of the world!

He picked up the pen and first wrote on the subject, "The old things are not enough to limit people, the matter"—that is, the matter of King Wen's use of the New Deal to make the Zhou Dynasty king of business world—“is already ahead”. Simply responding to the first half of the question, I rewrite the title of this article, "A husband is a king and a teacher, it is better to be a king!"

The Ming Dynasty, like the Great Heaven Dynasty, set up schools, reduced taxes, and used the New Deal... Is it really for a country that rules the world to read the history books and follow its policies? Of course it is for the imperial court of your own country to dominate the world!

A country that has never been a king of the world can only be a corner, and a country that lives a life of abundance but powerlessness is not enough to be a teacher of the king, so that future generations can imitate it!

Cui Xie also grew up in the presence of a socialist successor. Although he is in the landlord class in this life, his ambition to rejuvenate the country by keyboard has not changed. Let the excitement in his chest support him, clinging to the old things of King Wen everywhere, taking Wen Wang not restricting himself for his own country's weakness, and being able to use the New Deal to revitalize the country as an example, forcing an invisible upper person——

Others rule the kingdom and can rule the world, why can't you make the country "do it"!

He wrote happily, and copied smoothly. Before the whole morning passed, he had to hand in his papers and appear on the scene...Hurry up to the toilet.

It just so happened that he was not the fastest to write, there were already a few people standing beside the dragon gate, and he could open the door by getting in there. He hurriedly handed over the paper to the teacher, but Chen Tixue was not in a hurry to let him go. He read the paper carefully and asked, "Have you done these two questions before?"

In fact, I have done the first question, but the mentality of the question is usually different from that in the field. With proper pressure on the field, it is easy to produce good articles. Gentlemen in the past advised him not to use old texts in the first article after entering the venue, because ordinary writings do not have the explosive power on the court, and the second one is not read carefully, so just use the old ones.

He hesitated for a moment, and said: "The first question has been written, but this one is a new one, so I don't dare to mention it perfunctorily."

Chen Tixue even read his drafts. Seeing the drafts, he wrote them refreshingly and didn't revise much. He asked, "Ordinary people's drafts are easy to paint. How can you write so neatly?"

…Isn’t it a habit to write an essay when I was in middle school and was too lazy to make a draft.

Of course, I can’t tell the truth. He said in a low-key tone: “Students often write the full text after they have detailed it in their stomachs, and the manuscript will be more refreshing.”

Without comment, Xueshi Chen asked him to break the question, and Cui Xie replied, "I praise the greatness of the ancient emperor, and why a day is heaven." Chen Ti finished his study, and told him to recite a few sentences along the way, and nodded: "This writing is also commensurate with everything, not as powerful as the one on the court. "Poetry Yun Zhou is an old country" written It's more powerful, but it's too aggressive, and it's less moderate."

Speaking of bringing the pen to the scroll, he was about to score, and when he saw that he was still there, he waved his hand and said, "Go, ask the soap servants to open the dragon gate and come back in three days."

Cui Xie bowed and walked out with small steps. While struggling, he secretly glanced back, but saw that his wrist was turning, as if he was drawing a circle.

It's just a circle. As long as you pass the examination, there will be no other examinations before the township examination next year.

He returned to his country to study vacation, and read the book safely for three days. On the day he was released, he had to go back to the exam booth for training.

After being a student, it’s better to take a leisurely time when you haven’t passed the exam, and you have to ask the school to teach you face-to-face during the two examinations. All the prefectures, county instructs, and mentors of Shuntian Mansion were all standing in the hall, leading candidates from their own county to wait for their names. The teachers of Chinese Studies do not need to be raised by the students. The students from other provinces all shrank in the corner, watching the school officials call people from county to county.

Chen Tixue is really determined to rectify the style of study. He is not afraid of offending people. He is stingy in scoring, but he is happy when he hits the board. Several Zao servants stood in the court with their boards, and when they heard him say a long "fourth class", they dragged people over to the court.

The students who did poorly in the exam fought in two battles, clasping their hands behind the crowd and praying: "I only want to get to the sixth grade..."

Getting to the sixth grade is just stripping off the robes and clothes of the scholars, and he will be able to come back when he finishes his academic and political duties. If it is the fifth class, it will have to be sent back from the government school to the county school, and the county school is sent to serve in the social school. And unfortunately fell into the fourth class...

The academic term is also nine years, and the annual exam is twice in three years.

First, the ordinary students who lost the scumbags and the moderate in the counties, and finally it was the turn of the masters.

The few who passed the first- and second-class exams were even more face than usual: second-class students could be comforted by Chen Tixue personally, persuading them to take the rural exams early; and when they got to the first-class, he brought them by himself. I brought the fine white rice to the public and distributed it to the linsheng. He said to the students: "The rule of the official is to reward the good and punish the bad. If you learn well, the official will ask you to eat the lint rice today! "

The bag of rice was full of rice, half a person tall, and it was enough to reach the one-month-old rice. The rice bag was also pierced with big red flowers, which shows that Chen Ti's determination to learn to grasp education is heavy.

Bags of rice were picked up by the government officials to help the students, and the number of students standing in the field was gradually reduced. Finally, it was the turn of the students of the Imperial College and those officials and children who sent their parents to the Beijing Master to study.

Chen Tixue turned through the papers and called people up one by one, until there were almost no students around, he shouted: "Guozijian student, Cui Xie from Qian'an County, come to the hall"!

Cui Xie bowed to the front of the hall, and sat down to listen to Chen Ti's instruction.

Master Chen watched him quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "Before this official was in the procuratorate, I heard Master Liu and my predecessor recommending Master Dai to praise your article. It was not until I assumed the post of academic and political officer that I had a chance. See you. Your article..."

Cui Xie was a little nervous, and quickly grew a long waist, kneeling higher to listen to him.

Chen Xuezheng said: "I went back to read your second article, and my speech was like the water of Lu Liang, surging...Although it fell into the middle of nowhere, it was precisely because of this that it was able to show its strength and there is no need to change it."

Well, Chen Xuezheng really likes Shuangwen!

It seems that in the minds of every young scholar who has achieved great ambitions, there is indeed a dream of a great country to eliminate outdated and bad governance and strengthen the country and the people!

Cui Xie sat down completely, Zheng Rong thanked him, Chen Xuezheng smiled slightly, and said, "Although you are a student of the Imperial College and do not receive rice, I will give you my own rice. Anyone can take a bag and go. You can go down after you get the rice. I hope you won't have to see you again in the next year."

What he said stubbornly, but it is to bless Cui Xie to be admitted to Juren next year, and even to be a Jinshi in the next year, how can Cui Xie not hear it?

He also smiled, and bowed and replied, "Thank you, adults, the students will definitely live up to the expectations of adults." After that, he turned around and left, and picked a bag in front of the court where the rice bag was placed, and picked it up. Throwing to his shoulders, he walked out of the gate from the middle of the tunnel in the shocked eyes of the academic officials.

The author has something to say: The last time I said "I won't learn later" is not that I won't learn it since that chapter, but that there will definitely be times when I don't learn it, then it will be earlier.
