After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

"Hey, what kind of book is this? It's so amazing! But is it related to Master Cui's mysterious treasure?!"

"Definitely! With the support of Lord Cui and the mysterious treasure, and the fact that he is the wisest man in the Great Zhou, after reading this book, not to mention passing the imperial examination, even becoming a minister in the court will be more than enough!"

"The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang really spoils her child. She tried every possible means for Su Dalang! Who knows, Su Dalang might succeed in this bet!"

The lobby was noisy and the tea drinkers were talking among themselves.

What exactly is this book about?

Is there any philosophy of governing the country hidden in the treasure?

After Su Dalang passes the imperial examination and becomes the top scholar, will the wife of Marquis Yongchang make this book public?

In an inconspicuous corner, Ajinai lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

Adhering to the idea of ​​knowing both yourself and the enemy, so as to ensure victory in every battle, Ajinai decided to go deep into Kyoto to find out what kind of person Gu Nanxi, the wife of Marquis Yongchang, is.

After all, when the news reaches the border, it has to pass through several hands, so it is far from being as real as seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears in Kyoto.

Well, God helps those who work hard. On my first day in Kyoto, I heard such great news!

"Second Prince... Second Young Master, should we strengthen the security of the Sixteen States?" Ajinai's men asked softly.

This is Gu Nanxi, the wife of Marquis Yongchang, who is capable of eliminating the prince's influence in Beijing!

"No need. As for that useless Yongcheng Hou, it was the effort of the deputy generals and others to defend the border. It is nothing but a foolish dream for him to take back the sixteen states! As for Gu Nanxi, how can she command an army as a woman?"

Subordinate: "Should we contact that gentleman?"

Asinai shook his head. Without a handwritten letter from his father, the Khan would not do anything. Why bother to humiliate himself?

Compared to that adult, Ajinai is more interested in the mysterious treasure that the people of Kyoto talk about!

So, Ajinai quietly inquired about the mysterious treasure.

This process went much more smoothly than he had imagined, because regarding the ownership of the treasure, Da Zhou even specially organized an academy assessment, which caused a lot of controversy.

Although there are various speculations about what the mysterious treasure is, Ajinai's idea is the same as that of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They both believe that this must be a strategy for governing the country!

Then, the book written by Gu Nanxi, wife of Marquis Yongchang, in seclusion based on the strategy, can definitely give us a glimpse of the strategy of governing a country!

Ajinai made a silent decision in his heart.

The appetite of the people in Kyoto was whetted, and so were the students of Baichuan Academy.

In Baichuan Academy, sworn brothers gathered together.

Li Mingde gave Su Xuanming a thumbs up and said, "You are indeed my elder brother! You are so ambitious! I believe that you can succeed. If you have secured the title of No. 1 scholar, then I will secure the title of Jinshi."

Chen Yixuan diligently served tea and water to Su Xuanming, and said with a grin, "My requirements are not as high as my brothers'. As long as I can pass the imperial examination, my family will be thankful! This is called bringing honor to our family!"

Jiang Guanghai looked at his brothers with a smile: "With Godmother's help, you can set your goals higher!"

"What kind of book did my godmother prepare? Has any of you seen it?"

"I don't know, but my godmother came to the academy today and was discussing something with Master Cui."

Everyone looked at each other curiously and decided to eavesdrop.

In the tea room, Cui Sanlun looked at Gu Nanxi eagerly as he took out a palm-thick book from the box, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Xiao Nanxi, what book is this? Did you write it all by yourself?"

Oh my goodness, this efficiency is so high!

If it were me, it would probably take me ten years to write such a thick book.

It's just a retreat, not like one day in heaven means ten years on earth!

Gu Nanxi chuckled. Of course, this couldn't have been written by her. She was trying to take advantage of the system!

Cui Sanlun took the book. The weight was beyond his expectation and he almost dropped it on the ground.

He looked intently at the cover, which clearly read "Five Years of Imperial Examination and Three Years of Simulation".

Cui Sanlun opened the first page, which was the table of contents of the book. It included real test questions for the academy examination, provincial examination, metropolitan examination, and palace examination at all levels, and even the examiners' analysis!

"That's impossible. Why would anyone go to so much trouble to calculate this?"

Behind each real question, there are not only example questions, but also the examiner’s analysis and Gu Nanxi’s experience.

But this feeling really makes me feel mixed emotions.

Because it does not start from the knowledge itself, but analyzes why the examiner asked this question and how to start answering this question. It is all about skills.

"Xiao Nanxi, these are just some tricks." Cui Sanlun said embarrassedly, isn't this just taking a shortcut?

Gu Nanxi: "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, any cat that can catch mice is a good cat. What they lack is not knowledge, but skills."

Gu Nanxi originally thought that it was just a matter of passing the examination to become a scholar. As long as he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?

It was not until I looked through the three or five numbers provided by the system that I realized how wrong I was.

It really can’t be blamed on Su Xuanming for not passing the exam to become a scholar.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial examination was held once a year. There were five provincial examinations in total. The examination contents included one essay from the Four Books, one scripture, and one five-character six-rhyme regulated verse.

If the exam question is [White hair floats on green water, red palms push the clear waves].

Gu Nanxi thought the test question was to recite this poem from memory.

In fact, the question on the provincial examination paper was: So-and-so once wrote in a poem that white hair floats on green water and red palms stir the clear waves. Please write a 3000-word article on the topic that only green water can raise white swans, discussing the relationship between local culture and talent cultivation. The handwriting should be neat, the arguments should be clear, and the sentences in the article should be in rhyme.

Therefore, the difficulty of this test question really made Gu Nanxi sweat profusely.

Especially in Kyoto, where there are so many talented people, it is not certain that a scholar from another prefecture would be able to pass the exam if he were to come to Kyoto.

It is no wonder that Su Xuan, who had memorized the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, was at a loss when it came to exams.

What he clearly lacks is test-taking skills!

Cui Sanlun thought this was wrong: "If everyone takes shortcuts to enter the officialdom, it is not the right way to study."

Gu Nanxi: "Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and sell goods to the emperor. Anyone who wants to take the imperial examination will want to gain fame and have a foothold in the officialdom to realize their ambitions! But if you don't even have a ticket to enter the officialdom, how can you realize your ambitions?"

"After entering the officialdom, you can still learn the art of scholarship. But no matter how well you learn, it will be in vain if you don't enter the officialdom."

As an official, Cui Sanlun naturally understood how important it was to put on official uniform!

There are tens of thousands of students in the world, but only a few hundred can finally squeeze onto this single-plank bridge.

"Forget it. I can't argue with you. But there is only this one book. Who should I give it to?"
