The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

Xie Shu sat quietly for a while, and only after hearing that the inspection outside was completed, did he hand out the paper that was still in fresh ink.

This year, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the scientific examination. The examiner is Lan Ying, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the examination questions are from the Imperial Academy.

Regardless of the past dynasties, the Hanlin Academy is well-known as a place to raise talents and store hope. Its status is noble. Only the three people who can pass the first-class exam every year and the No. 1 biography of the second-class are eligible to go to the Hanlin Academy. The rest still need to take the imperial examination just work.

The Hanlin Academy is mainly responsible for compiling books and writing history, drafting imperial edicts, attending readings for members of the royal family, etc., as well as formulating imperial examination topics. Much more leisurely.

Xie Shu unfolded the test paper and looked at it from top to bottom. The questions on the classics and meanings are all from the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics. It is not tricky, but the tedious details need to be paid attention to. endowed.

I remember that in the previous township examination, the topic was "Huang Hua is like scattered gold" in "Selected Works". This sentence seems ordinary, but it is extremely misleading. autumn landscape.

Therefore, Xie Shu also paid attention to whether the poems in this test would still be based on ancient sentences.

Sure enough, I saw that the title of this poem and fu directly gave a fixed title. The title of the poem is "Tiande Qingming Poem", and the rhyme should be the Chinese character Ping in the title, limited to five characters and six rhymes.

It looks like a standard poem.

Just Tiande Qingming?Which allusion is this?

Xie Shu looked familiar. These four words seemed to have been seen not long ago. Xie Shu thought for a while, and then remembered that this topic was actually born out of the Four Books and Five Classics.

In "The Book of Songs Zhou Song", there is an article "Qing Temple" that talks about offering sacrifices to ancestors.Later, "Mao Poetry Preface", a work specially written as a preface to the Book of Songs, mentioned that the Qing Temple was dedicated to King Wen.

The so-called "Tiande is clear and bright, and King Wen is like Yan, so this poem is sung in honor of him."

How to write this poem, you only need to understand what kind of person this King Wen is.

King Wen refers to Zhou Wenwang Jichang, who was also the founder of the Shang Dynasty. In the last years of the Yin Dynasty, the world was in turmoil. He was still Xibo at that time. He recruited talents and attacked Yin Zhou, laying the foundation for Zhou to rule the Central Plains.Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the Zhou Dynasty, this King Wen was always a mighty and insurmountable founding monarch.

There are quite a few poems in the "Book of Songs" that praise the King Wen, and Zhou Song's word "Praise" also means to sing praises. Knowing this, the purpose of this poem is not surprising.

Xie Shu was not surprised that such questions would appear in the examination. After all, the admission list of the examination still needs to be approved by the emperor, which means that the emperor is likely to check the examination papers in person.

The obvious intention of the Imperial Academy to write the title explains the emperor's style from a certain angle from the side.

However, Xie Shu does not reject this kind of adaptive poetry, and it is also a challenge to be able to write wonderful words within the limited room for development.

The title of Fu is more straightforward than the poem just now. The title is "Zhou Yizong Qiang Fu". changed.

It is about how the Zhou Dynasty prospered and prospered.

This is not too difficult, Xie Shu directly writes the format first, the first line only uses the word "Bong", and the second line writes the title.

As for the test theory, the scope of the questions is often much wider, not limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, which is a difficult problem for candidates.

At the same time, although the topic also has a proposition, it does not have such a strict rhythm compared with a poem, and has much greater flexibility and autonomy.

Xie Shu looked at the topic of this topic and took a light breath. It really didn't come from the Four Books and Five Classics, but a passage from "Han Shu Dongfang Shuo Zhuan".

The title is "How about Emperor Wen's morality, benevolence and righteousness".

This topic seems to be similar to the style of the poem just now, but Xie Shu soon discovered that the two are actually very different!

First of all, the titles of the poems and fuss are much more vague, which examines the examinee's mastery and application ability of the scriptures, but as long as he is familiar with these allusions, he can understand how to answer the content of the poems and fuss.

This is not the case in the trial discussion. Although it is clearly stated that the person to be discussed is Emperor Wen, the purpose is quite ambiguous. This topic is also an extremely rare interrogative sentence. moral benevolence.

Since it is a book of Han, Emperor Wen of course refers to the Emperor Wen of Han who started the "rule of Wen Jing".After he came to the throne, he made great efforts to govern, built water conservancy projects, and practiced frugality and simplicity. He has always been regarded as a wise emperor.

Xie Shu's palms were slightly sweaty. He knew where the difficulty of this question was, and the difficulty was how to prove it!

Because Emperor Wen is a benevolent monarch in the eyes of everyone, so what is the need for argumentation?What's more, the trial theory pays attention to breaking the topic and conception. Breaking the topic is the starting point of the theory, and the meaning of the so-called article is all contained here.

But this article must not only break through the title, but also have a unique conception, so that it can stand out!

Xie Shu carefully recalled the historical research he had read. There is no perfect person in this world. Of course Emperor Hanwen can be called a benevolent person, but as long as he is a king, he cannot be completely benevolent.

At least two things are enough to make people criticize. One is that he promised to make the heroes king, but in the end he killed them all. The other is that in order to win power, he beat the then prime minister Zhou Bo into a trick and was imprisoned unjustly.

How can these be considered benevolence and morality?

Written like this, it really has a special purpose.

But Xie Shu's pen tip stayed in the air and was reluctant to write, and Jiang Hong's words sounded again in his mind.

The teacher once said that the imperial examination field is changing rapidly, so we must be cautious.

Therefore, seeing the topic is not prior to recognizing the meaning of the topic, and recognizing the meaning of the topic is not prior to knowing the origin.

Then what he should make sure is that the answer he submits satisfies everyone.

Xie Shu thought hard for a long time, suddenly his heart moved, and the tip of the pen fell heavily, writing like this: "Emperor Wen is a benevolent king, so his morality and righteousness come from benevolence, so that Emperor Wen has no such benevolence..."①

It wasn't until Shenshi that Xie Shu finished writing the previous poems and scriptures. At noon, he just ate some dry food he brought, but he didn't feel hungry at all. Instead, he was full of energy and opened the question paper again.

At this time, there is only one hour left before the exam time.

This policy question is different from the general examination, except that the first question is about classics and history, and the other two questions are about current affairs.

The second question asks about agriculture, which is the foundation of governing the country, and it is related to farming. The third question asks about the remedy for the ills of official governance, which is related to official governance.

These two questions are very targeted to raise questions about the shortcomings of the country's policies. Jiang Hong has predicted this kind of policy tendency before.

And these two questions are no strangers to Xie Shu. Teacher these days, Xie Shu has spent the most effort on current affairs.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are the foundation of the people, and government officials are the foundation of the society.The meaning of current policy is not only to be able to observe the gains and losses of the government, but also to know the sufferings of the people. This is the meaning of combining policy theory with current affairs, rather than simply focusing on the classics.

Xie Shu thought over the points to be written in the draft, and when he wrote again, he hardly paused.

After answering all the test papers, Xie Shu checked carefully to make sure that the rhythm and format were correct before giving up.

It was dusk when I left the test shed.

The clouds and mist in the sky were transpiring, and the golden glow was burning, igniting a bright and endless flame.

As soon as the exam was over, the hustle and bustle of the surrounding voices became real, but the joy and troubles that arose were blurred.

At this time, Xi Mo, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Xie Shu in a piece of snowy sackcloth, hurried to Xie Shu, and nervously took the "stationery box" from the master's hand.

Xie Shu relaxed a bit, no matter what the result was, it was useless for him to think too much at the moment.

Xie Shu quickly walked out of the crowd without waiting for anyone. He had promised Mr. Lang that he would write back to Mr. Lang after the exam.

Given the distance between him and Mr. Lang, it often takes more than ten days to receive a letter, and sometimes it will be delayed for a few days in the middle, and the time will not be known.

Xie Shu had no choice but to write a letter every day, so that Mr. Lang could read his letter every day.
