Looking at the back of the armor-clad figure who had no relatives, Yu Kongjian sighed to Shen Shangshu:
"This opportunity must not be missed and will never come again. Senior has been weak and appeasement towards the Lin thieves. I am afraid that my colleagues will be criticized."
Shen Shangshu snorted coldly, if it weren't for you rookies whose reputation is greater than your strength, who were manipulated by Lin Tailai again and again, why would the situation be like this?
But Shen Shangshu is also helpless. These hot-blooded rookie gang members are all chosen by himself, and the basic force he relies on is just these hot-blooded rookies!
Therefore, in the end, Shen Shangshu still comforted him by saying: "The General Examination is over, but it is not the end. There will be the Imperial Examination after the General Examination, and those who pretend to be fake will eventually be exposed."
This is a hint that I will wait until the palace examination before taking action. If I don't express my position like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to appease the irritable younger brothers.
After a small interlude before the exam, Mr. Lin returned to his dormitory, holding the sachet and waiting for the exam attentively.
As soon as it gets dark, today's test questions will be posted.
Everyone knows that the test questions are taken from the original texts of the Four and Five Classics. After the examination, the test questions will not be so weird, and they will usually have normal sentence patterns.
Generally, there will be no perverted questions such as "The king hastened to issue an order to rebel", "The king's wife is lustful", "People are worse than birds".
After all, the examination is a grand ceremony of the imperial court, so it needs to be somewhat decent, and the questions should not be too crazy.
Therefore, knowledgeable people know that the competency test is easier than the provincial test, and you may be lucky enough to get questions that you have already done before.
There are seven questions in the first session on the first day, the first three are from the "Four Books" and the last four are from the "Five Classics".
Official Lin first looked at the three questions in the "Four Books" and frowned slightly.
The first and second questions are nothing. They are all questions that I learned about in advance from Shen Shoufu and I was prepared in advance.
However, the third course is "The Master said: The Doctrine of the Mean is the virtue, and it is the most complete". This is not a topic that was known in advance.
In fact, it was not a big deal, but it was a small incident. Lin Daguan did not rush to answer the question and write the essay, but thought about it for a while.
Finally, Senior Official Lin concluded that this situation must be the careful thinking of the examiner, Academician Xu Guo!
In today's imperial examinations, the first of the three exams is the most important, and the first exam is the first chapter.
Many times, the examiner can basically make a decision by just looking at the first article, and at most he will glance at the second article a few times.
Therefore, the first and second questions remain unchanged, which is enough for the examiner Xu Guo to explain to the related households. The related households can pass the first two questions.
The temporary change of the third question was probably a small means used by Xu Guo to identify related households.
If the grammar of someone's first two articles is very good, but the third article is barely interesting, then this person is probably related.
If the third essay is not only barely interesting, but even extremely disappointing, then it must be someone who is ignorant but has very strong connections, such as the stereotyped candidate with the surname Lin.
Only such candidates will have excellent results in the first two papers and a complete failure in the third paper.
Could it be that the examiner Xu Guo wanted to use this method to identify Lin's test paper?
Thinking of his relationship with the examiner Xu Guo, Lin Daguan couldn't help but sigh.
Why are there so many obstacles on my way to the imperial examination? Why are everything from promotion officers to examiners aimed at me!
Forget it, let's not think about it so much now. I'm sorry that the examiner Xu Guo didn't have the guts to offend the chief assistant to death.
If even Xu Guo can't be suppressed, then what's the use of having Shen Shixing as the first assistant?
After that, Lin Daguan concentrated on answering the questions. Both the first and second articles were "confident" and he finished the article in one go without adding any points.
But when it came to the third article, Lin Daguan really put a lot of thought into it, because the examiner Xu Guo would definitely focus on this article and use it to identify the candidates.
While trying to figure out the thoughts and mentality of the examiner Xu Guo, and combining it with the research experience of later generations, he spent an hour carefully compiling an article.
Fortunately, the questions in the exam are not difficult. The meaning of questions such as "The Master said: The Doctrine of the Mean is a virtue, and it is the most complete" is also very common. With hundreds of years of research experience, you can always find some sentence patterns to fit into it.
"(initiation of shares)
Since the yin has been carried away and the yang has been embraced, the original path has been straightened and the middle path has been established.
After the body develops and the spirit develops, the quality of food and drink should be taken care of in a mediocre manner throughout the day.
(China stocks)
Xun Zhe Qin Ming, De Molong was as good as the ancient emperor, and Yong Bi started from Pingzhang, and even those whose virtues were extreme and moderate were enough to control them.
If you are gentle and courteous, your virtue will not be greater than that of the ancient kings. However, if Mrs. Mao Zhaozhao and Xiu were extremely virtuous, they would be mediocre enough to kill her.
(Later stocks)
It is not enough to describe the virtues and non-traditional traditions that remain unchanged from ancient times to the present, but the golden mean is comprehensive.
It is not enough to say that virtue is not the same as far and near, but it is practiced in all aspects, but the mean is consistent.
(bundled stock)
This is why those who insist on pseudo-study have lost their true nature by trusting the Master; those who follow the same trend as country people have become mediocre in appearance and turned to delusion."
After finishing writing, Mr. Lin admired himself again.
As dusk approached in the afternoon, people began to hand in papers one after another.
Lin Daguan was not slow in answering the questions and handed in the test paper. Then he did not hand over the draft casually. Instead, he insisted on seeing the chief minister, Shen Shangshu.
"I will save the draft here with Uncle Da Zong. If the original version of the test paper is different from the draft, someone must have changed it. Uncle Da Zong, you are also responsible."
"Get out!" Shen Shangshu scolded.
Apart from scolding, the Minister of Rites, who was tied to death, could not do anything else.
When I left the examination room, I happened to meet two friends, Zhou Yingqiu and Dong Qichang.
"You two did the questions very quickly!" Lin Daguan said pretending to be surprised.
In fact, there is nothing surprising. Although these two people have had character problems in history, their writing and thinking are considered top-notch among Lin Daguan's circle of friends.
Needless to say, Dong Qichang was historically one of the "Five Sons of the ZTE in the Retro-style Post-Wang Shizhen Era", but this combination is unlikely to exist in this time and space.
Historically, Zhou Yingqiu was born in the same level as Wang Hao, Tang Bohu, and Gu Xiancheng in the same level as Nakenan Zhili Jieyuan last year.
Dong Qichang asked: "How does Brother Lin feel?"
Official Lin snorted coldly: "You can tell from the questions, even the examiner is targeting me!"
Dong Qichang: ""
He really couldn't see why those questions were aimed at you, Lin Tai.
If everyone from the exam coordinator to the exam examiner is targeting you, why don’t you take the exam?
Zhou Yingqiu asked Lin Tailai: "Where is Brother Lin going back?"
Among this group of people, Lin Tailai was the youngest, but Zhou Yingqiu insisted on calling him Brother Lin after arriving in the capital, saying that those who are successful come first.
Lin Daguanren replied: "I will go back to Xicheng today to talk to the chief assistant about the examiner. Please ask the chief assistant to warn the examiner not to act recklessly!"
Today is February 9th, and the next exam is February 12th, with two days of rest in between.
In fact, after taking the first test, you can relax for the most part. After all, the first test can basically determine whether you will be admitted or not.
Lin Daguan and his men rode through the city through the bustling Qipan Street on their tall horses.
Suddenly there was a small commotion on the street. Five or six people were chasing and beating a young man in shabby clothes.
Someone else shouted from behind: "Wei Si, stop!"
Lin Daguan, who was used to seeing big scenes, was originally not interested in such small disputes in the market, but when he heard the name "Wei Si", he reined in his horse.
When I was still thinking about taking a few more glances, I saw the young man who was being chased, named "Wei Si", walking through the crowd as nimbly as a fish and getting into a nearby small alley.
Lin Daguan finally remembered that the biggest historical event in the seventeenth year of Wanli was not the emperor's complete resignation from the court, nor was it the first climax of the country's struggle, but the completely inconspicuous entry of Wei Si into the palace.
Speaking of which, this Wei Si is still the same age as me, the same age of twenty-two.
Suddenly, Lin Tailai pointed at the back of "Wei Si" in a playful manner and asked Zhou Yingqiu next to him: "What do you think of this person?"
Zhou Yingqiu didn't understand why he asked himself, so he answered casually: "This is just a street scoundrel, what can you say?"
Official Lin couldn't help but laugh a few times. A few decades later, Zhou Yingqiu would kneel down and lick the nephew of the "fourth king of Wei", and licked out a "pig's trotter general constitution"
Name.
Zhou Yingqiu was confused and thought it was Lin Daguan who had intermittent convulsions.
Official Lin entered the Shen Mansion while thinking about Wei Si.
"This Xu Guo is not honest, he wants to cause trouble!" Lin Daguan shouted angrily after seeing Shen Shoufu.
