Qin Shi Mingyue's infinite punch card

Chapter 406 SSR Level: Xiao He!

Half an hour later, most of the examination papers had been marked, Ye Chen stood up and moved his limbs.

He carefully read the test papers of these candidates, and they were generally considered good. He couldn't find any faults, but he didn't make his eyes shine.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng asked, "How?"

Ye Chen replied: "It's quite satisfactory."

Candidates who can enter the palace examination naturally have no problem in terms of literary talent, and all kinds of citations are at their fingertips.It's just that there are not many who can hit the nail on the head.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "How about this person's answer?"

As he spoke, he handed a test paper on his desk to the other party.

Ye Chen's expression moved slightly, he knew that the above answer should have something good, otherwise Ying Zheng would not have picked it out himself.

With this in mind, he took the test paper and looked it over.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, because what was written on it was not an article, but a painting.

This painting depicts a mighty and majestic chariot with six horses in front of it pulling the carriage to run fast. On the chariot stands a domineering man dressed in a crown suit and holding a long sword. It is exactly the appearance of Ying Zheng himself.

And there is a line of text under the painting: The way of governing the country is like a royal car, the body is the people, the ministers are the horses, the emperor patrols the four directions with a knocker, and oppresses the world!

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown slightly.

The topic of this palace examination is: What is the most important way to govern the country?
And the meaning of this painting is also very clear.

The war horses in the painting are the courtiers and generals, the person who controls the chariot represents the monarch, and the chariot frame is the people of the people.

What this person wants to explain is that governing a country is like driving a chariot.The courtiers control the people, and the king commands the subjects. They are not afraid of dangers and difficulties, and work together to forge ahead and conquer the world.

He could feel that the person who answered the question probably knew how to figure out the mind of the superior. Not only was the painting full of aggressiveness, but the king was placed at a high position, which should be more in line with the mind of the superior.

It can be said that it hit Yingzheng's refreshing point very well.

At this moment, Ying Zheng asked, "How?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen closed the test paper and replied, "This person has ideas and knowledge, but he lacks some structure and realm."

Ying Zheng's eyes moved when he heard the words, and asked, "Then how would you answer this question if it were you?"

To be honest, he was quite curious about what the other party was thinking.

Hearing the question, Ye Chen thought for a while, took out a clean piece of paper, picked up the pen on the table, and started to paint.

After a while, a painting appeared in front of the two of them.

In that painting, there is a vast river with a flat boat on the river, and a person who is rowing hard on the wooden boat.Seeing this, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the explanation for this picture?"

Ye Chen said: "The king is like a man, the minister is like a boat, and the people are like water."

The meaning revealed in his painting is completely different from that of the previous examinee.

The former emphasizes the power of the monarch, and the king can control his subjects for his own use.Neither the ministers nor the people have the power to resist in their hands.

But Ye Chen compared the officials to a boat, and the king to the people on the boat.

Although it seems that people are driving the boat, in fact it is the boat that carries the people. If no one is driving the boat, it will wander around aimlessly.And if a person does not have a boat, he will not be able to cross the river, and it will be difficult to move an inch.

Therefore, in his view, the ruler and ministers are not only subordinates, but also a cooperative relationship. Only by working together can we reach the other side.

As for the most inconspicuous common people, they are the most important in Ye Chen's eyes.

On the surface, whoever is from the lowest layer can override it, but that is when the water surface is calm.

If one day there is a sudden surge of water, both the boat and the people on board will be in danger of capsizing.

It's easy to overlook seemingly small things when one is in a high position, but it's the lowest, most fundamental things that often really matter.

Just like the foundation of a house, although the foundation is buried in the ground, if the foundation is not stable, no matter how gorgeous a tall building is, it will be nothing but a passing cloud, unable to stand for a long time, and it will collapse if it is said to collapse.

Water can contain everything and carry everything, but it can also overturn the boats that are pressing on it at any time.

As the saying goes, the king's boat is also the people's water.Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!

Ying Zheng is a very confident and ambitious person who always wants to climb to a higher place.

This spirit of forging ahead is good, but such people tend to ignore their feet and only care about running forward regardless of whether others can keep up.

If it continues like this, sooner or later hidden dangers will be planted.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ying Zheng looked at the painting and whispered to himself, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it..."

After a few moments of silence, he said, "Sir, you are worthy of Confucianism. This statement is similar to Mozi's saying that the people are more important than the emperor, and they are less important."

Hearing this, Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "Grand Ai of Lu once asked Confucius, saying: "The widow was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman. The widow has never known sorrow, sorrow, or labor. Also, I have never known fear, I have never known danger. "

Confucius replied: "A king is a boat; a common man is water. Water carries a boat, and water capsizes it. If you think about danger in this way, how will danger not come to pass?

Does Your Majesty know this allusion? "

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression also turned serious, and he said, "Of course I know this code.

Duke Ai of Lu didn't know what danger was, so he asked Confucius.Confucius compared the people to water, and the king to a boat, and a boat may capsize at any time on the water, which is a crisis. "

Having said that, he shifted his gaze to the other party, and continued: "However, I am also a person who does not know the danger?"

Ye Chen's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "Your Majesty is far better than Duke Ai of Lu, so you should understand things that he can understand, too."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng didn't say anything else, he stood up after glancing at the other party, then pointed at the previous painting with his finger, and said, "This person is outside the top tier. "

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Ye Chen cupped his hands slightly, giving a rare compliment.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's continue with the examination papers."

Ye Chen nodded, sat back to his original place, opened the remaining test papers and continued to look at them.

But at this moment, his expression changed, and his eyes stopped immediately.

On the examination paper in front of me, there are neat and clear policies and theories written, the regulations are clear, and the opinions are even more to the point, without any fancy.

Immediately, his gaze shifted slightly, and he saw four words impressively written in the signature place——

Xiao He in Pei County...
