Jiang Mian's resignation was finally handed over. It was obvious that the old man was not thick-skinned enough. Of course, the rebellion of his disciples and old officials did destroy his last little confidence. If he did not retreat at this time, the situation would only be worse if he delayed it.
The disheartened Jiang Mian obviously no longer had any hope.
After the resignation was entered into the palace, it was neither approved nor rejected, but was kept at the end of the palace.
This is a bit interesting. Generally, the resignation of a cabinet minister must be approved or rejected. If the scholar is determined, he will put another letter on it and the palace will still reject it. If this is repeated, it will naturally be approved until the palace's patience is smoothed.
But the meaning of staying at home and not being able to express it becomes even deeper. It is clear that the palace has already made a proposal, so what are you still weighing?
This kind of momentum that is not triggered is also a deterrent, at least telling some people that the palace is no longer in a hurry and has begun to gain a foothold, and is no longer led by someone to leave.
Of course, in addition to criticizing Jiang Mian, the palace examination is naturally also a matter of concern. The time for the palace examination has been released, and it is scheduled for April 19th. After counting, it seems that there is not much time left.
The newly promoted tribute scholars have already begun to study hard. After all, tribute students are tribute students. Although they have obtained the qualification to be an official, their future prospects are all entrusted to this palace examination. If they are lucky enough to win the first class, they will inevitably be granted the title of marquis and prime ministers in the future. But if they are a third class and become a Jinshi, their future will be very limited in this life.
After all, people are greedy for the future. When they are in the imperial examination, they only want to become an official. After the imperial examination, they will inevitably be tempted by the future.
The main test questions in the palace examination are strategy theory. The strategy theory is different from the eight-legged essay. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a political theory topic. Such topics often have high requirements for vision and thinking, but do not have much requirements for your literary talent.
Therefore, no matter how skilled the eight-legged essay level is, people may not be able to write good strategies. This is why candidates are confused. It is like later elementary and middle schools only take Chinese to get into school. As a result, when the university exam is taken, they only take chemistry. I am afraid that there are many people who curse themselves.
For most candidates, the most important thing is to become an official, at least you have to pass the provincial examination and the commemorative examination, so that you can become a juren or official. Therefore, most of the energy of many people is actually on the eight-legged essay. After all, the palace examination is too far away and people's energy is limited. They have not even won the provincial examination and the commemorative examination, but they think about what will happen to the palace examination in the future. Such people are definitely crazy.
In this way, almost all candidates have their own weaknesses, and they are inevitably going to make up for it.
Xu Qian is also making up for trouble now. He stays at home every day, while Gui Zhier is responsible for being an examiner and gives Xu Qian questions. In fact, there are not many strategies for the test questions, but nothing more than what should be if there is a flood? Or what should be the Tatars and the thorns are frequently plagued, so what should be? Or there are too many redundant people in the world, so how to clear them.
Gui Zhier gets up early in the morning every day and gives Xu Qian a question, asking Xu Qian to write in the format of policy theory, and then review it after writing. After all, she has produced two Jinshis in her family. Now one is a bachelor's degree, and the other has served as a scholar. She has a lot of knowledge about palace examinations, so she inevitably warns Xu Qian some knowledge.
Although the palace examination is a palace examination, there are two levels in the palace examination. The first level is to deal with eight reading officials. These eight reading officials are drawn by Hanlin, Tongzhengsi, Ministry of Rites, Censorate and other yamen. In other words, if you can't even pass the first level, the emperor will not be able to see your strategy, and you will naturally be beaten down. If you are lucky enough to get into the second level, but if you are not lucky, you can only go around in the third level.
Of course, because Xu Qian was good at the exam, even if he was defeated, he was not likely to become the top three. After all, Yang Tinghe was the main tester of the exam. The advantage of Yang Tinghe as the main test is that everyone has to give Yang Tinghe some face. If Huiyuan, who is determined by others, isn’t it said that you, Yang Tinghe, have been favoritism and fraud?
Gui Zhier taught Xu Qian some tricks of strategy theory. These tricks were naturally heard from Gui Xiang. Gui Zhier said: "My husband's strategy theory often goes against the edge of the sword and deviates from the road. Just like the question I did yesterday, how to prevent the invasion of the tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile
Doctors must meet their appetites in order to pass. If a lowly concubine comes to answer the questions, they must answer the questions in this way. They should strengthen the vigilance of the border towns. At the same time, they should educate the people, make the army and the people unite and share the same hatred of the enemy. If an enemy attacks, the officers and soldiers will not fear death and the thorns will retreat. Here, it is not important to defend the enemy. What is important is education. Only in this way can the officers who read the papers be satisfied. As for the repair of military armor, they are just a few details and a few strokes. If you say too much, it will be annoying. My husband must remember it and don’t make any mistakes."
Xu Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "After saying goes, it's education again, so what's the difference between this and doing eight-legged essay questions?"
Gui Zhier had a stern face, like a strict teacher, and said seriously: "The eight-legged essays emphasize articles, and the eight-legged essays emphasize coherence, and the eight-legged essays are the most limited. Therefore, how to make articles in this limited space and can secretly conform to the principles of the sages is success. The most important thing about the policy discussion is to set the main theme first, and then narrate the theme around this theme, and the order must be clear. Therefore, policy discussions are much easier than the eight-legged essays, but most scholars in the world value eight-legged essays, but not many people hunt and policy discussions. On the contrary, every time they pick up scholars, there are countless good articles on the eight-legged essays, but the strategy papers that can make people refreshing are not good."
Xu Qian shook his head, really didn't know what to say, but no matter what, for Xu Qian, the process is a process, and this process is nonsense no matter how nonsense, but once the process affects the result, he can only do his best to make the nonsense process well in order to pursue better results. Therefore, he was relieved and rewrite a policy statement according to Gui Zhier's explanation.
After reading it, Gui Zhier said: "This time it is better than the previous one. He is very precise and has a good understanding of the psychology of the readers. However, my husband has countless such papers in the palace examination. Anyone who has guided him can make such papers. If there is no new idea, it is difficult to stand out."
Xu Qian couldn't help but get angry and said, "You just said you can't seek new things. You must have the appetite of the documentary reader. Now you teach me how to seek new things. Isn't this teasing me?"
Gui Zhier immediately raised her face and was even more angry than Xu Qian: "Why are you angry? It's not for you after all. The concubine is the examiner now, you are the examiner. You are the examiner. You are the tone of talking to the examiner? What did you guarantee to the concubine last night? You have forgotten it after only a few hours?"
Xu Qian immediately shrank shamelessly and smiled bitterly: "My wife, I am not good for me."
Gui Zhier then curled his lips proudly, and then returned to seriousness, saying, "What you said just now is the difficulty of policy discussion. You must not only treat the appetite of the documentary reader, but also require newness. There is a degree here that must be grasped well. If it is too new, it will inevitably make people feel distorted, but if it is old and has no new ideas, it will be difficult to make people's eyes shine. The importance and difficulties here must be treated with a 120,000 spirit. Let's give an example. For example, the policy of defending the enemy from outside, the husband naturally needs to make a argument first, and naturally write around education. But how should we educate? The husband must come up with some new ideas, and we must not deviate from the argument, but also be outstanding, think what others cannot think. Do you understand now?"
Xu Qian touched his forehead and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Gui Zhier said with confidence: "If I had said it too early, how could my husband remember it deeply? It is not scary to delay my skills. I am afraid that my husband is not focused enough."
Xu Qian was unable to refute what she said, so he had to smile embarrassedly and said, "Stop, I'll try again."
In fact, with such a strict teacher, Xu Qian quickly got into the strategy theory, which is also his advantage and strength. After all, he has been a human being in his two lives, and has a deeper understanding of problems, standing higher than others, and seeing farther away from others. However, those candidates from poor families are quite easy for them. As long as they have a few books, they can only think of them at home behind closed doors every day. As long as they have high talent, good qualifications, and are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to write a flowery eight-legged article. However, strategy theory cannot be written by turning a blind eye to the outside world by just reading the books of sages, and they have no advice, so many problems are difficult to avoid. This group of people will definitely be difficult to stand out.
Xu Qian's opponents are mainly children from aristocratic families. These people often have deep backgrounds and have guidance from elders in their families. They naturally have no comparisons among poor families, and their advantages are obvious.
Xu Qian calmed down and wrote a few more articles. Gui Zhier was a little satisfied. However, he frowned slightly, but said, "Although it's good, I have limited abilities after all. You might as well do this. I'll ask my brother to take a day off tomorrow and come to teach you specifically. You can improve your strategy."
Xu Qianhe nodded and said, "If the brother is willing to come, that would be great."
As he was talking, the newly invited door came to inform him that someone was visiting outside and took over the famous sect. Xu Qian took a look and said, "My senior brother is here. He doesn't usually have much contact with me. At this time, he is visiting in person, must have come for the palace examination. I'll go to see him."
Gui Zhier chuckled and said, "But editor-in-chief? It seems that your mentor, although in Hangzhou, is very concerned about you."
Xu Qian suddenly felt that he was full of face and said in his heart, you have a Hanlin bachelor as his brother, but my husband is not an idle Yun Yehe, a mountain woodcutter, and I also have a mentor of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, so he suddenly became confident and said, "Of course, teachers and students are like fathers and sons."
