[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Although he finally decided to obey the Supreme Emperor's wishes to participate in this year's test, Wang Yue still felt a little reluctant in his heart. When Tu Hui left, he was still tentatively asking: "Can I not go?"

"Don't worry, with your ability, even if you can't get into the first class, you will definitely be in the forefront of the second class. Don't you always say that you are on the cusp? Think about it, if you get it in the general examination First, for the sake of a good omen, during the palace examination, No.1 must be you, the small three yuan and the big three yuan are all in your hands. When the time comes, you are afraid that you will become famous in one fell swoop, and the world will know you, and you will not be afraid of the limelight at that time. Too much, someone is jealous of you? Wouldn't it be more in line with your wish to suppress your ranking in the test?"

Wang Yue thought about it, and felt that this was the reason, so she nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll sign up later."

Seeing that he was finally persuaded, Tu Hui couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly wished Wang Yue a smooth exam, and left without looking back.

Sending Tu Hui away, Wang Yue went to the teacher to sign up. Fortunately, it was almost noon at this time, and many students had already gone out to eat. There were not many people here, but even so, there were still many People warmly came up to say hello, and it took him nearly half an hour to walk a few hundred meters.

Some of these people knew about his relationship with the prince and Lin Qing, and wanted to please others, and some simply received his favor, remembering that he taught these people arithmetic for free at that time, no matter what, Wang Yue's popularity It has become a lot better, and he can be regarded as a man of the hour in this talented Guozijian!

After leaving the Imperial College, Wang Yue visited Lin Qing again. Since he was going to take the exam, he had to prepare well.

After listening to his decision, Lin Qing made sure that he had made up his mind and didn't persuade him much. He gave him a new book list, which made his homework a lot heavier, and asked him to come and start class after the fifth day of the new year.

Wang Yue squeezed a lot of homework, and lamented in her heart, this year may be difficult again.

Throughout the New Year, Wang Yue studied hard behind closed doors at home. Fortunately, his relatives knew that he was going to take the exam, so they understood him and didn't come to disturb him, so he was able to be quiet.

Once a person works hard, time passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, the new year has passed, and before the first month, it is time for the re-examination.

This time the exam was still in the tribute courtyard in the south of the city, but this time Wang Yue did not borrow the Jia family's house, but used Lin Qing's nearby house.

My master is naturally not polite.

In comparison, the re-examination is not too strict. Although everyone knows that this exam is very important, without the soldiers guarding the door of the number room, the atmosphere is not so depressing.

The purpose of the re-examination is only to check whether these new recruits are really capable to participate in the examination, so as to prevent mediocre people from participating in it. Therefore, the questions are not too difficult. Although it takes three days, there are only one Five Classics article and one Four Books topic. One piece of policy theory, one piece of practical policy, and one piece of poems and poems. Compared with each other, the questions are really not difficult, and the amount of questions is not too big, but it is enough to pass the test in three days.

In this exam, only a few were passed. Basically everyone Wang Yue knew was on the list, so there is no need to worry about losing the honor of the candidates who have worked so hard to pass the exam.

After the retest, everyone reviewed with peace of mind and prepared for the test.

Looking forward, it was the ninth day of February. When entering the venue on the morning of the ninth day, everyone naturally got up very early. Before dawn, they had already rushed to the examination room.

After a series of very strict body searches, everyone just entered the examination room. Fortunately, those who were able to participate in the general examination basically passed the examination along the way. They are already familiar with this series of procedures and are no strangers.

After entering the No. [-] room, ignoring the soldiers guarding the door, Wang Yue cleaned the room calmly, and spread the quilt she brought in on the bed. It was still very cold in Beijing in February. Even with the conditions of the Gongyuan, there was no air leakage It's raining, but it's still cold.

Wang Yue wrapped the quilt around himself to keep his body warmer, but this time he did not lie on the bed and rest like before. After all, it was spring, not like autumn. If the cold wind blows and catches a cold, it will be miserable. up.

After finally surviving until dawn, the big bell in the tribute courtyard rang, and the noisy tribute courtyard suddenly became quiet. After a while, someone came out holding a question board.

At this time, Wang Yue had already washed her face with cold water, pulled herself together, and began to copy the questions on paper with a pen.

In modern language, the first question is the explanation of nouns. This is the meaning of the test. It is not difficult to translate the meaning of a passage, which is regarded as a sub-question.

It's just that there are a lot of numbers, there are hundreds of them in total, and it takes a long time to copy the titles alone.However, this kind of topic is the foundation after all, and it is a must.

The second is the title of the Four Books. The title is "The Master said: A country with a thousand chariots, respect and believe in things, save money and love others, so that the people can be in time", from the fourth sentence of "The Analects of Confucius Xue Er", The original meaning is that Confucius believed that it is not difficult to govern a large vassal state capable of producing a thousand military vehicles, as long as the following three points can be achieved: handle state affairs carefully to win the trust of the people, save expenses and love the people, and recruit migrant workers only in slack time.

The topic of the Four Books and Five Classics does not require too much depth, it is enough to explain the meaning of the sage a little bit, and then quote the whole passage in detail.

The second is the title of the Five Classics. The title is "If the net is in the gang", the original sentence is "If the net is in the gang, it will be orderly; if the farmer subdues the field, there will be autumn in the harvest. You overcome the heart , apply virtue to the people, as for marriage and friends, you dare to say that you have accumulated virtue. You are not afraid of the poison of the army, and you are far away.

It comes from "Shangshu Pan Geng [-]", the original meaning is to tie the net on the outline, so that it can be organized and not disordered; farmers are engaged in field labor, and only when they work hard can they reap a lot.Officials can restrain their selfishness and give practical benefits to the people, so that their relatives and friends dare to say that they have accumulated virtue.If you are not afraid of catastrophes near and far, and seek comfort like lazy peasants, if you don't work hard and work in the fields, you will have no millet.

The same is the way of politics, but it is ordinary and there is nothing particularly embarrassing, but it is also difficult to be outstanding.

The last question is the candidate's scripture question. Wang Yue's scripture is "Spring and Autumn", so he chose the topic of "Spring and Autumn".

The title is the word "official evil", just two words, if you are not familiar with the book "Spring and Autumn", you may be confused at first glance, but if you have solid basic skills, you can understand where this comes from after a little thought.

The original words of this sentence are "The failure of the country is caused by the evil officials; the loss of virtue by the officials is also caused by favors and bribes."

It comes from the Spring and Autumn Period Zuo Qiuming "Zuo Zhuan The Second Year of Huan Gong", which is what Zang Aibo said when he remonstrated with Gao Ding. These sentences mean that the corruption of the country is often caused by officials' corruption, perverting the law, and evil; The immorality of officials is often caused by the connivance and cover of the superiors, the public favors and bribes.

The prosperity of the country requires strict administration of officials, so that officials at all levels are honest and loyal to their duties, to prevent corruption and to make officials honest, they must be strictly rewarded and punished, and severe punishments must be imposed on corrupt officials.

It is also about how to govern the country. Wang Yue paused when he saw the pen in his hand. It seems that these questions are quite similar. I can go deeper when I write this question later. He is a student. It's not his turn to talk about governing the country. Besides, the structure is so large and the pen is not strong enough, which will make the article empty and fall to the bottom.

It would be better to talk about how to govern counties and counties. After all, after passing the general examination, they will enter the officialdom. This point of writing is in line with their identities.

Moreover, the examiner who wrote the question did not blindly praise the sages, but closely followed the way of politics. He should be willing to read this kind of pragmatic article.

Having made up his mind, Wang Yue began to conceive, writing and scratching on the paper, scratching and writing, stop and go, spent three days in his concentration on answering the questions, and then handed in the paper.

After going home to rest for a day, he entered the arena again for the second exam.

The author has something to say: Today, I was divided into departments and assigned to obstetrics and gynecology. I spent a month in obstetrics and gynecology during my internship. I was so busy! !Fortunately, I have to go to the medical department first, and go to the medical department to listen to their arrangements on Monday. I don't know which department to go to!
