The question of "Stand Questioning" begins with "Question", just like the question "Read the following materials and write your own understanding" in the college entrance examination. You need to know what he is asking, and you must also understand the content of the material.

In the twelve years of Hongzhi, the Ministry of Rites was tested in the 19th year of Hongzhi, but a question was produced that made all the scholars in the world very troubled.

The beginning of this topic is, "Question: If scholars learn from the achievements of the predecessors, they do not have any place to gain a teacher and return to their homes without asking questions or discerning them."

It means that if scholars cannot carefully read and interpret the concepts and ideological achievements of their sages, they will not be able to appreciate their core ideas and will have no follow-up.

Then the following four theories were introduced.

Using the theories of the four "predecessors" to illustrate the same problem is the core idea of ​​Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. The theories of these four sons are different. In the question, only one point of view mentioned by the four sons is used to let the candidates judge who these four sons are and what their theoretical central idea is.

The content quoted in the title each quotes the views of some people, and they all come from the classics. From the words of others' evaluation on the classics, we can judge which four sons they are and what achievements these four people have.

Needless to say, the topic is remote. At first glance, you really don’t know which “sage” is held by the four points cited.

But it is not an exaggeration to have a biased question in one exam. To quote the theories of ancient celebrities, candidates can be considered to be well-versed in the past and the present. I don’t know that, I can only say that you have not achieved enough attainments.

This question is also called the "Four Sons' Attainments Test Question". The four sons are Zhang Zai, Yang Shi, Lu Jiuyuan, and Xu Heng. These four sons are all studying Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Their core ideas revolve around Neo-Confucianism, but in the question, the names of these four sons are not pointed out, and candidates have to "guess" themselves.

This topic mainly revolves around the Four Sons' discussion of the origin of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Some say it comes from Boyi, some say it comes from Lao Zhuang, and some say it comes from Zen.

Zhang Zai, Yang Shi, and Lu Jiuyuan are also considered famous people of a generation. Their theoretical ideas are well-known to many people. Although the topic is a bit biased, it is not too outrageous. Read it once and you will probably know who said this. However, the last person, Xu Heng, his thoughts are rarely known.

But in the end, "someone engaged in "Elementary School" and "University". The privately favored Zhu Zi may suspect that he was from the old age." The candidates were very excited at a glance. Where did this come from and who said it, no one knew, and he would not think of Xu Heng because of this.

This sentence actually comes from Liu Yin, the previous dynasty, "The Record of Tuizhai".

Xu Heng was a native of the Yuan Dynasty. He was a "common Confucian" who was proficient in thought, education, calendar, philosophy, politics, literature, medicine, history, economy, mathematics, folk customs, etc. Books were very precious these days. Some works of predecessors or celebrities must obtain knowledge through books. Xu Heng was famous in the previous dynasty. But which student would have no time to buy a difficult book on the market to study what core ideas a communicative confucian in the previous dynasty had?

There was no mistake in the Ministry of Rites' examination questions, but it was just in the third question. The third question, the fourth character in the question, was relatively outdated in the theoretical propositions, which made the relatively honest Ministry of Rites' examination biased.

All candidates saw this idea of ​​digging out the ancestral tombs of Cheng Minzheng's ancestors for the 18th generation. In addition to scolding, they could only think in extreme circumstances.

You, Cheng Minzheng, made it difficult for us to make things difficult for you, must be something behind it. You are afraid that everyone can answer a simple question, so that you will not get benefits by selling the questions, right?

Although there were many rumors about leaking questions before the exam, Cheng Minzheng had not seen the two neat answers, so he did not express the feelings of Xu Jing and Tang Bohu's answer sheet. The candidates did not associate it with Tang and Xu for a while.

All the candidates are locked in the account room at this moment. Even if most of the candidates do not know whether others can do it. How difficult is this question.

Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is to complete the question this time first. Even if you don’t know who it is, you can’t leave the test empty. However, according to previous examples, if there are any minor links in the examination, you will definitely not be able to win the Jinshi in the end.

The entire tribute courtyard was filled with sighs, but I had to eat the hardships myself. I had not copied the questions on the test paper before, so I had to speed up the time to copy them. After all, I had to hand in the paper the next day, so there was not much time to delay.

But some people don’t give up. They want to try to find some clues from the words that don’t know what scriptures or scriptures come from, but this is basically a waste of effort.

If you haven’t read it, you have never read it. If you don’t know, you can only rely on misunderstanding. But even if you get the misunderstanding, you won’t think of Xu Heng.

The question asks about the four sons' attainments, but you can only answer the third son, and some of them can't even answer the third son, which is a major mistake.

The more you think about the candidates, the more anxious they are, the more likely they will affect their performance.

But at this time, some people in the exam room would not be surprised or moved by this question.

Shen Xi knew that there were at least two people besides himself who could do this question well, or if he had his third test paper with a smooth answer, would Cheng Minzheng not have such a feeling of causing trouble for himself?

On February 15th, it rained lightly and the weather suddenly became cold. Before sunset, Shen Xi had completed all the answers to his exams and left the tribute court after the next day.

That night, the north wind was howling and the temperature dropped to more than minus ten degrees Celsius, but Shen Xi could not make a fire. After all, the test papers had been answered. If the test papers were fired and accidentally burned the test papers, the previous efforts would be wasted. He could only wrap his clothes tightly and curl up in the corner of the test chamber to sleep.

The strong wind blew all night, and it whimpered across the roof of the trumpet, making a whimpering sound. Occasionally, some strange noises would come from outside, just like howling ghosts and wolves.

Shen Xi didn't know what other candidates were doing, or because the exam questions were too difficult, some people were already confused.

Because of the extreme cold and heavy humidity, Shen Xi didn't fall asleep all night. When he woke up the next morning, the weather still did not clear up. However, there were many more patrol soldiers in the Gongyuan.

Shen Xi guessed that because the exam questions were too difficult, some candidates caused trouble last night, and the security in the tribute courtyard was strengthened.

But this has nothing to do with Shen Xi anymore.

At noon, the rostrum started to collect the papers. Shen Xi sorted out his papers, handed them over, and then picked up his own test basket and asked to leave the rostrum. As soon as he pushed open the door, he found that his legs and feet were weak. Or he had been in the rostrum for several days and had not walked. He could not stand firm when he stepped on the ground.

"Young juren, do you need to help you out of the tribute courtyard?" The soldiers in the prison field who had been with Shen Xi for eight days but had never said a word before greeting Shen Xi with a smile.

The soldiers in the prison were not sure what Chen Xi was called, but only knew that his errand was very special, but the one who invigilated the exam was a thirteen-year-old boy.

At such an age, you will definitely achieve great success in the future!

Chen Xi first thanked him, but still refused: "I can leave myself."

Chen Xi walked out of the Gongyuan slowly because it was still drizzling in the sky. He just wanted to go home early and have a meal with big fish and meat. Then he slept beautifully. As for how long it took to sleep, it didn't matter. It would be best to sleep for two days and two nights.

After coming out of the examination room, his nerves suddenly relaxed, and Chen Xi lost even the strength to walk.

...

...

When he got home, Chen Xi's first thing was to fall head-on on the bed, sleep with his head covered, and not even eat.

Lin Dai looked forward to it for eight or nine days, and was worried. Seeing Chen Xi coming back, before she could show her diligence, Chen Xi had already fallen asleep, which made her a little resentful.

But she wanted to be a good wife after all. She knew that Chen Xi was tired and didn't want to wake Chen Xi up, but every time she would go to Chen Xi's room to take a look. She wanted Chen Xi to wake up and see her the first person she saw.

This time, Chen Xi slept for twelve hours before she woke up. When she woke up, her stomach was almost hungry. After eating voraciously, Chen Xi remembered to ask what time it was.

"...You have been sleeping for a day! Humph!" Lin Dai pouted, looking at Chen Xi like a resentful woman in the deep boudoir.

"One day? Then today is seventeen."

The case of selling questions for the 12th year of Hongzhi examination was officially broke out on February 27. There were already many rumors in the city before, and Chen Xi knew it was time to go out and ask about the news.

Chen Xi put down the bowls and chopsticks and was about to get up, but Lin Dai grabbed him.

"Where are you going?"

Lin Dai was waiting for good things last night and didn't sleep well all night. Now that Shen Xi woke up, although she didn't have anything to happen with Chen Xi in broad daylight, she was still a little depressed because she was wearing bright red clothes and carefully washed and dressed up. Chen Xi didn't even say anything praises.

Chen Xidao: "Some important things need to be done now, and you don't have to wait for me to come back at noon."

Chen Xi couldn't explain to Lin Dai, and he had to figure out the sales case now.

But after he fought with Tang Bohu, the scholars in the capital began to criticize him, fearing that after the incident, someone would put shit on his head.

Seeing Chen Xi so confused, Lin Dai was so angry that she stamped her feet, but she had no choice but to do anything. Who said that a man was born to do big things, and the woman could only wait in the boudoir waiting for her husband to come back? Seeing Chen Xi insisting on leaving, Lin Dai quickly asked, "Then... are you back tonight?"

Chen Xi nodded heavily: "Yes."

Hearing this answer, Lin Dai's face finally improved a little, and his tone turned a little softer: "Then I'll wait for you."

With a word "waiting for you", the words reveal a strong sense of affection. Even if Chen Xi could see clearly, he could only ignore it at this time because there were still tricky things waiting for him.

Chen Xi left the house and hurried to the inn where Su Tong was staying. Su Tong obviously did not have a good rest, but he had already communicated with some scholars about the examination questions yesterday.

"Brother Shen, maybe the situation is a bit serious. Remember the first Analects question? I heard that it was leaked before the exam, and someone took this question to ask others."

Su Tong's face was a little nervous, not because he got the test questions in advance. As for the Analects of Confucius' questions in advance, it was just a rumor that spread from outside. No one could directly tell who asked people with the question.

The Analects of Confucius in this session, "The patriots and benevolent people do not seek survival to harm benevolence, but kill animals to achieve benevolence." It comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Duke Ling of Wei". The title is not tricky, and Chen Xi does not think that the candidates will have any deviations in their discourse on this question.

"What's the news about Tang Yin and Xu Jing?" Chen Xi asked hurriedly.
