Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

"Hey, this sentence is well broken!" Liu Zan tapped on the case with his fingertips, and chanted gracefully: "That is to say, one look and not forget the diligence, you can help the world..."

He and Zhang Tongzhi are both scholars in the two rankings, and the four books are all well-known. Only Xie Qianhu is a warrior. If he wants to come to the book, he leaned his body and leaned on the elbow to explain to Xie Qianhu:

"In ancient times, the emperor patrolled the kingdoms of the princes in the two seasons of spring ploughing and autumn, and he did not forget to observe the insufficiency of the people during the safari, and then provided subsidies. Because the emperor patrolled for the insufficiency of the people, and gave the people a favor. In the fief, he also imitated the emperor, and always inspected the suffering of the people with the heart of guarding the earth, and did not dare to disturb the living people for no reason. Xia Yanyun, the emperor's "a tour and a hesitation, for the princes", praised the emperor's amusement for the benefit of the people, enough for The rules of the princes' actions. Putting them in the world is enough to rule for hundreds of officials in the world."

Zhang Tongzhi couldn't help but echoed: "The original question was'Spring province ploughing and making up for the shortcomings'. In the first half of his broken question, he not only broke the words'spring province farming and make up the shortfalls', but used'one view'. The two words tolerate the responsibility of the emperor's inspection and hunting of spring plowing and autumn harvest. Then he used'diligence' to break and'make up for the shortcomings'-in this age, the emperor's governance is more than subsidizing the people's shortfalls in spring and autumn! Only with the word “qinmin” can the emperor’s attitude of being devoted to civil affairs be written, and it is enough to serve the laws of the world.”

Liu Yushi’s preaching interest asked him to hold it up, and then analyzed in depth: “The word “qinmin” not only deducts the word “filling the deficiency”, but also coincides with the whole chapter of “worry for the people, happy for the people”. It means. First, there is a heart to love the people, and then there is a diligent act, and Si can save the world for law."

Xie Ying asked the two people to be sandwiched between them. They talked for a long time one by one, shaking their heads, as if they were a student listening to the two gentlemen's lectures.

He didn't bother, he listened to them carefully, and then nodded, and asked Liu Zan, "Do you think this article is done well?"

Just as Liu Yushi was about to say "good", he remembered that he was here to pick something wrong, how could he just say it after hearing it?

At least you have to listen to the whole article!

The phrase "not bad" hit the tip of his tongue, and changed it to: "It's not bad to solve the problem, but you still have to listen to the inheritance." Then he glanced at Cui Xie: "I praised you. Don’t be arrogant in one sentence, and then read your title. If the acceptance is not good, no matter how good it is, this article will be worthless."

Cui Xie answered "Yes", looked at the PDF intently, and then read, "Husband springs to make up, autumn helps, and all the first kings come out for the people. I have all the Hou Fengs, don't you read ancient and summer proverbs?"

One of the two Jinshi nodded and the other stroked his beard, seemingly satisfied with the question.

Xie Ying glanced at Liu Zan, and he consciously shook his head and said: "This sentence is used to pass on the subject-to break the subject is to break the emperor and the people, it can be the paradigm of the lords; Shunyan how the princes governed the fief in accordance with the law of the first kings, and instead questioned King Qi Xuan, as one of the princes, why he did not follow the ancient proverb of the Xia Dynasty and follow the example of the ancient emperor to subsidize the people."

Zhang Tong knows: "These two sentences are transferred from the narrative, against the king of Qi, and the introduction of the whole chapter is also considered to be a song by Xu Xu."

Liu Yushi nodded: "That's right. Breaking the topic, the topic is positive and negative, the ups and downs echo, the rounds are smooth, the words and sentences are also elegant and clear, and the discussion implies affection, which is an excellent beginning."

Xie Ying asked sincerely, "There is nowhere to guess the question in this test article. Cui Xie can write an article praised by two Jinshi, so he can be sure that he did it by himself? "

At this time, Liu Zan's picky heart was almost gone, and he simply praised him: "Master Xie said yes. Reading the first three sentences of the examination article, you can almost decide to stay. With his four sentences , And the stable body of the pavilion, as long as there is no offensive text underneath, and the curling surface is not smeared or smeared, a clerk is stable. If you want to go one step further, you must see whether the text can be connected after Fafan If I can hold up such a discussion, is it possible to take the article one level higher, or is my writing power exhausted?

He glanced down, and Cui Xie said obediently without waiting for him to speak: "...He prays for the valley to borrow from the emperor, and enjoys it to repay the land. The Spring and Autumn Period has already focused on the matter; Benefits are patrolled in the rescue, and the subsidy is also at the same time. However, if you save farming and save money, you will still recover..."

While listening, the two jinshi kept talking to Jin Yiwei, who had graduated from martial arts and did not have a scientific examination, explaining how neatly he paired him and how to use his words.

As he was speaking, Liu Yushi suddenly woke up and pointed to Cui Xie and said, “You didn’t use so many allusions in the article that you tried? That one is more rhetorical and has an ancient style. Why does it seem to be **** with a rope, paying attention to the notes every word, paying attention to the rhythm, and not just letting it go and writing like that, with reason?"

Just don't dare to let it go. Don't you have to cater to the examiner's preferences during the exam?

Cui Xie glanced at him hesitantly. After thinking about it, he felt that it was normal to try to figure out the examiner’s preferences, so he said straightforwardly: “Students knew that the county lord likes ancient Chinese prose. Wen. I heard that Lord Wang likes well-thought-out time writing, so he emphasized more refined words and sentences when writing on the court, and used scriptures to enter the writing."

Liu Zan secretly sighed at the unbearable atmosphere of the examination hall, and now even such a primary school student knows how to figure out the examiner's preferences. However, he and Zhang Tongzhi have also figured it out, so don't say such things that hurt others and yourself.

He was silent, and Cui Xie went on to memorize the four-fold, eight-legged comparisons of positives and negatives, one bright and one dark, and finally he said, "Everything is for the people when they cover the years. This is the so-called Jun Lemin And the people are also happy with the praise of the monarch.

Although I have carefully carved words and sentences and used allusions everywhere, the article does not appear flashy and vulgar because of the substantial meaning in the article. It's just that this attitude of abandoning your own style in order to cater to the examiner is not desirable, you have to get it back before he gets crooked!

Liu Zan commented: "You are more vivid in writing ancient essays, and the time essays are a little more restrictive. This is nothing more than the official test. In the future, the examiners for the rural and public examinations are appointed before the test. Those few days are not enough for you to read. After finishing the examiner’s essay, how can you modify the grammar according to your preferences? Simply write it according to your habit. Your essay has all the disciplines and vitality. Although the sentence is simpler, it is still simple and clean, and can read the article. People naturally know how to appreciate."

Cui Xie straightened his back, bowed his head to be taught, and memorized the "King Mu Muwen, Tong Gong Prostitution", which was broken down as "The saint is perfect, so he can practice rituals and conquests."

This article is well written and adheres to Shengmo, but it has a lofty intention, clean and elegant, and it is also a good article. Liu Yushi also persuaded him who should have been admonished before, so he stopped picking his faults here, only commented on a few good points, and picked up some allusions to tell Xie Qianhu.

The theory in the second session is just a small theory, and I didn't pay much attention to this topic when I was recruiting scholars. As long as I write fluently, have my own mind, and use allusions correctly. Liu Yushi didn't delay time here, but urged Cui Xie to recite his last policy question.

This policy question is about disaster relief.

At the beginning of the first lunar month, there was a great earthquake in the capital city, and the counties in Yongping Prefecture were somewhat affected. The prefect Wang asked knew that many school children were affected by the earthquake in this test, and the review conditions before the test were not good. Therefore, water was released in this policy. The test takers just need to pay attention to the situation in the county. There is something to write.

Cui Xie personally participated in disaster relief in Qian'an County. He not only wrote about what he saw from later generations, but also acted in accordance with the Qi County Decree. He wrote how to write to the court to request disaster relief money and open warehouses for food; this county How to organize the people in Lijia to treat the wounded and tear down dangerous houses; raise money from large households, distribute millet porridge and cotton clothes; give medicine to the doctor's house to prevent epidemics; let the homeless temporarily live in the nursing home and Guanyu, etc. Land...

There is also reconstruction work after the catastrophe: Relief for work, rebuild collapsed houses and roads; the county came forward to lend grain seeds and agricultural tools to the people to avoid delays in spring ploughing; the local patriarch sent a letter requesting the imperial court to avoid the New Year’s forced labor and The summer taxes, autumn grains, horses, grass and horses are given tribute to rest with the people.

This article is more detailed than the previous article on water control, and the sentences have been refined and finished in one go.

Liu Yushi listened to the whole article in silence this time, and when he commented, his voice was a little heavy: "Beijing, Yongping, and Xuanda were all affected by the earthquake. You must be prepared for this article in advance."

Cui Xie stood upright and replied calmly: "Yes, there is such a big earthquake this year, and students thought they would definitely get it, so they drafted a few questions in advance."

Liu Zan nodded: "This article is better than the water conservancy policy question. It is tangible and a countermeasure available to the court. I originally suspected that the policy question was that Qian'an County had revealed the question in advance and asked you to find someone. Yes, now that I read the article on your test, I don’t have to be suspicious.

He stood up, walked in front of Cui Xie, and pressed his shoulders and said: "This policy question and your scriptures are ordinary writing styles. If you find someone to do it, you will not be impressed. It’s not as good as this thorough question. I’m the one who mistrusted you."

Cui Xie wanted to stand up, but Liu Yushi pressed his hand really hard, he had to stop him.

He tried several times and couldn’t get up. He simply sat calmly and replied, “This is also human nature. When the students first arrived in Qian’an, they couldn’t even write an article. This is something Master Xie also knew. So he was admitted to the government examination, and the students themselves were suspicious that the results were not real enough."

Only then did Liu Zan smile a little on his face, and patted his shoulder heavily and said: "Where there is something unreal, you should have this result! Slowly talk about a government test. When Brother Dai came to host the test, If I don’t take you as a student, I’m going back to Kyoto to ask him for an explanation!"

Cui Xie rested his heart steadfastly in his heart, smiled uncontrollably on his face, and replied with his head down, "Thank you, adults, for your praise. When students go back, they will study with peace of mind, and strive to have the power to serve the court soon."

Prodigy! child prodigy!

The magistrate Qi said rightly, his talent is really rare. It's a pity that he delayed his learning in his early years. Otherwise, only a year of study in this way would be enough to acquire the talents of middle school students. If he could study at home with peace of mind, wouldn't he be a prodigy like Li Dongyang?

The author has something to say: Actually, I don’t know what is good about that article, but it must be good, it is good, because its author is Liu Zizhuang, the number one scholar in the Chongzhen period.
