Two figures stood face to face. In front of them were twenty-two crystal plates. Each crystal plate represented a test point.
The Nine Kingdoms and Thirteen States took the palace examination at the same time, with the same set of questions, and were also under their supervision.
The old man on the left has snow-white hair and a snow-white beard. His clothes are also snow-white without any color. He looks like a fairy from heaven.
The person on the right looks like a young man, with black clothes and black hair. His eyes are also pure black, without even the whites of his eyes, which makes him look extremely weird.
"Hei Lao, let alone other things, this policy is really difficult. What do the people in the examination institute think? It is too difficult to force a group of students who have no experience in governing the country to offer words of salvation for the country."
The white-haired old man actually called the young man "Hei Lao".
Hei Lao smiled faintly: "Bai Lao, you must have wrongly blamed them. This policy is not from the examination institute, but from..." He pointed upward gently with his hand.
Bai Lao's whole body was shocked, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief. The saint directly asked the question?
How many years has this happened?
For many years, the saints have been high in the third heaven and have long been unconcerned with worldly affairs. The temple basically controls everything about the holy way. But now, there are saints who directly raise questions. What unusual signal does this send?
Hei Lao stared at Bai Lao and added: "Bai Lao, what did you see from this question?"
Bai Lao stared blankly at the question. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and glowed with rainbow colors: "The unspeakable!"
"Exactly!" Hei Lao said.
The two old men were no longer as calm as before. Although there were some things that could not be said, they knew it.
Today's world is similar to the ancient country of Huating.
The saint is the emperor.
The temple is the Huating Dynasty.
The Holy Family refers to the various feudal princes.
The power of the Holy Family is growing day by day, they are at odds with each other, and some bad signs have begun to appear.
The highest levels of the temple were very worried.
…
Lin Su writes...
"The country was founded in Huating. The country is rich and the people are strong. The army is strong and the horses are strong. The kings have made great contributions. Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence. When the rain and dew fall, you will show your saintliness and heaven's grace. I should be bold and give advice to all the kings.
Change the bad habit of only allowing the eldest son to inherit the territory of the kings, so that all the kings’ descendants can inherit the territory, and share the grace of heaven..."
A policy essay, presented in the form of an admonition, the content is actually very simple. In layman's terms, His Majesty the Emperor has conquered the world, and the world is so strong. The princes have contributed a lot. Please give more to the princes.
Some grace, what kind of grace? Stop forcing the prince to have a single line of inheritance. Allow all the prince's sons to have the right to inherit the territory and the power to collect taxes within the jurisdiction...
At first glance, this advice made the emperor furious. Why?
Because the most troublesome thing for the emperor was that the kings had too much power. What he tried hard to do was to take back the power of these princes. However, Lin Suti's suggestion was to further delegate power to the kings so that they could have greater power.
that power.
Which side are you from? Are you sure you're on the wrong team?
But later, Lin Su changed the topic and explained the essence of this strategy: In this way, the kings will be given unlimited enfeoffments, and their territories will become smaller and smaller. How can they compete with the dynasty?
This is called "fatting the flesh but removing the bones, indulging one's desires but removing the soul"!
This was the "Tweeting Order" proposed by Lord Fu Yan of the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relied on this order to end the huge crisis of separatism among the kings of the Western Han Dynasty. The evaluation of this order in history is: the first conspiracy in three thousand years.
The most unexplainable policy of reducing vassal states in history.
Why do you say he has no solution?
Because it fully demonstrates royal benevolence and righteousness from the beginning - the order of favor is also a favor when it is put on the table. Taking away the power of the princes will stimulate the resistance of the princes, and giving the princes more power, who will object? It is morally impeccable.
Secondly, it can be welcomed by almost everyone - the feudal king himself likes it, which gives him greater autonomy. He can allocate territory to the children he likes without the permission of the court; his sons other than his eldest son are more
Welcome, they originally didn't get an inch of territory, but the imperial court extended its favor and allowed them to get the territory. This was really pie in the sky. The only person I didn't like was only one person, and that was the eldest son of the feudal king. Originally, everything belonged to him.
Who would be happy if one person inherited the inheritance and now divided it among his brothers? But so what if he doesn’t like it? How much trouble can he make by himself?
Finally, once the process of enfeoffment is started, it is impossible to stop. Even if you, the vassal king, see through the dynasty's strategy, you can only move forward on this road of no return, because there are too many things in reality that make you stop at all.
No, the court clearly has a policy, but you just don't implement it. Not to mention what the court thinks of you, do your other sons except the eldest son hate you to death? Don't you initiate various relationships and use various conspiracies to kill you?
Therefore, this is no solution!
This is a conspiracy!
After finishing writing an "encompassing order" from another world, Lin Su tilted his head and took a look at it. Well, it's really good! It's a pity that Huating has been destroyed. If he had traveled two hundred years earlier, Huating would have been immortal.
.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
In the five subjects of the palace examination, one poem, one word, one policy, one word, one note. Lin Su has already taken all three of the most time-consuming tasks. Only two hours have passed. What is left are the things that Lin Su does not need to worry about the least.
Yes, one word in a poem.
Open the title of the poem and take a look.
When writing a poem with the title "Spring Night", it must be full of content and avoid saying nothing.
The title Spring Night is familiar to everyone. Almost everyone who took the exam has written about Spring Night. However, it is difficult if the content is full and not empty.
The biggest problem that contemporary literati have when writing poetry is that they complain without meaning and have nothing to say. How many people have written poems for a lifetime and have not escaped from this old trap. However, this scientific examination requires that the words have something to say. This is the difference between the Imperial Examination and the General Examination.
The palace examination is at a higher level and becomes much more difficult.
Lin Su searched for countless spring nights in an instant. Every song he took out would be amazing. Which song should he use?
He pondered for a moment, and an idea slowly emerged. This was the palace examination. More than 53,000 people participated in the examination, and there were many masters. It was best not to underestimate the opponents. The palace examination was the last level of his literary test, so he would use a poem without
Let’s bring an end to this arguably peerless poem!
"The tide of the spring river reaches the level of the sea, and the bright moon rises with the tide on the sea. It floats with the waves for thousands of miles. Where is the spring river without a bright moon? The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight shines on the flowers and forests, and they look like sleet. The frost flies in the sky without noticing.
The white water on the river is invisible, the river and sky are colorless, and the moon is shining over the river in the bright sky. Who first sees the moon by the river, and when does the moon shine on people?..."
This is a monument in the history of poetry. It is said to be the most single poem in the Tang Dynasty, "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night". It is said that there are endless spring night poems, but "Spring River" was silent once it was published!
"...The slanting moon hides the sea fog, the Jieshi and Xiaoxiang roads are endless, I don't know how many people will return by the moon, the falling moon shakes the trees all over the river with love!" At this point, the 252-word "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" has been completed.
Lin Su looked at himself and was deeply impressed by this strange poem. The biggest feature of this poem is that it is full of philosophical thinking, and its fullness of thoughts is unparalleled.
The last subject, words!
When he opened it and took a look, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised...
There is no restriction on the word type or content. The only requirement is that it must be gentle.
This is really strange.
The students taking the exam are all men, without exception. The word "manly" is a compliment everywhere, and it is the same in this world. If the test question requires words that are full of masculinity, Lin Su can completely understand, but this requirement is exactly the opposite.
Gentle.
Which song are you playing?
In other subjects, I can accept defeat by others, but in terms of poetry, I’m sorry but I can’t! Isn’t it a joke that a generation of poets is overshadowed by others?
If you want to be gentle, I will write you a graceful and eternal poem.
"poppy"
"When are the spring flowers and autumn moon, how much do you know about the past? The east wind blew again last night in the small building, and the hometown cannot bear to look back in the moonlight. The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the beauty has changed. I ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like the spring water of a river.
Eastward flow."
At this point, all the test questions have been answered.
Lin Su checked carefully and looked at the time. It was a little over two hours.
The imperial examination took a long time, three days and three nights.
For ordinary people, no one thinks it is too long. After all, it is related to their lifelong pursuit. No matter how long you give it, students will only think it is short. But Lin Su is different. He looked at the ceiling and felt that he was in this small room.
Staying in the examination room for three days and three nights is really an incredible thing.
Forget it, the poems of the Tang Dynasty have surpassed them all, and the most famous poem is "A river of spring water flows eastward", what else can be done?
carry out an assignment!
He raised his hand and grabbed the little red rope on it, Ding Dang!
The test paper flew up out of thin air and disappeared without a trace. The door opened automatically and Lin Su stepped out of the examination room.
The examination room was very quiet. Except for him, all the doors of the examination rooms were closed. This was inevitable. Apart from him, there was no other freak who could complete the examination in two hours.
Lin Su raised his eyes and was suddenly startled. This shock was truly extraordinary...
Who did he see?
Zhang Hong!
Zhang Hong actually landed in the examination room with a golden light!
How can this be?
He and Zhang Hong had a literary bet, and he had not pardoned Zhang Hong. It was impossible for Zhang Hong to step foot in the examination room, and now Zhang Hong is here!
Why?
Why?
Zhang Hong strode over and smiled at him: "Lin Su, are you surprised? I was able to participate in the palace examination, but you were expelled!"
In his dictionary, Lin Su must have been expelled when he left the examination room at this time. He never imagined that Lin Su completed the three days and three nights of the examination in only two hours.
He could only believe that the person who sent him to the palace examination was so powerful that he directly deprived Lin Su of his qualification for the examination.
At this moment, he was almost crazy with excitement.
Lin Sudao: "It is indeed a bit unexpected, but why?"
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "Have you heard of the Holy Path Exemption Order? Haha... I bet you haven't! Do you know what the Holy Family is? I guess you actually don't know either!"
Holy way exemption order?
Lin Su's expression changed. He knew what was going on. The Holy Family had taken action!
The Holy Family is the direct descendant of all saints. Each Holy Family has a "Holy Exemption Order" from all saints, which is similar to the "iron scroll of alchemy book" and "death-free gold medal" in feudal society. An exemption order,
Can eliminate one literary oath.
Zhang Hong had a marriage proposal with the Holy Family, and his prospective in-law family took action and used the Holy Path Exemption Order so that Zhang Hong could refer to it!
He cut off Zhang Hong's scientific research path with an extremely decisive attitude, and the Holy Family took action to restore Zhang Hong's scientific research path. What is this called? A slap in the face!
Lin Su felt angry, but what could she do?
"The Holy Way is, after all, the way of the Holy Family. Do you understand? It doesn't matter that you, a country bumpkin, don't understand. Time is still very long. I have plenty of time to slowly kill you... a little scholar!"
Zhang Hong said the word "little examiner" with unusual emphasis and strode forward arrogantly into his examination room.
Although two hours were wasted, at this moment, he is 100% energetic and does not care about this little time. He will definitely ascend to the Holy Jinshi in the palace examination, and the person in front of him will completely cut off the road to the palace examination.
You will never be able to get ahead, and you will only be a successful person for the rest of your life!
In this smokeless battle between the Zhang family and the Lin family, the Zhang family won in the end!
…
Temple, Tianxia Pavilion.
A golden light suddenly shoots out, which is the characteristic of handing in a paper. It is not surprising that in the later stage of the exam, golden light is flying all over the sky, but at this time, just two hours after the exam started, someone is handing in the paper? Did he give up in advance because he knew that he would not pass the exam? This
Isn't it too quick to give up?
Old Bai gently raised his hand, extracted a sliver of the golden light in front of him, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and zoomed in.
"Da Cang Lin Su? It's actually him!"
As a senior member of the temple, I have almost no impression of the literati in the world, but I still have some impression of the name Lin Su, because there are too many things related to this name, Kaiwenlu, Kaiwenwenlu, writing
Four ancient poems and poems handed down from ancient times...
How could it be him?
How could a literary prodigy give up on scientific examinations so quickly?
What happened?
Hei Lao's eyes also opened: "What happened to him?"
He stretched out his hand and separated a strand of gold thread from Bai Lao's hand...
Suddenly, his eyes widened: "Tweening the favor order? That's quite new... huh?" His expression suddenly changed, and his fingers trembled slightly...
On the other side, Bai Lao's eyes were also bright: "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night... Poppy..."
…
In a rental house in Dongcheng, Beijing, Sister Chen and Lu Yi quietly lit three incense sticks. The two women clasped their hands together and watched the green smoke rising.
During the Xianggong's palace examination, they could not accompany him, so they could only pray in this way.
The Lin family started out with a broken family and reached its current situation step by step. Although they were reborn from adversity, they all knew that the Lin family was actually still very fragile. The emperor did not like it and the court officials hated it. Only one situation could truly
Peace, that is, the Lin brothers succeeded in the palace examination.
As long as they become a Jinshi, gain a literary heart, and become a great Confucian, they will truly have three-thirds of the power to protect themselves.
If it fails, no matter how big the business is, no matter how powerful the strategy is, it will not protect the Lin family. In this world, if you don't become a great scholar, you will always be an ant.
Suddenly, a figure moved in the sky, and the dark night fell from the sky, bringing up a strong wind that almost blew the potted flower off the tall building.
Sister Chen and Lu Yi were shocked at the same time, because An Ye's face was extremely heavy...
"What happened?"
An Ye gritted his teeth: "The Holy Family has taken action! Zhang Hong has been exempted from the Holy Path and has been sent to the scientific examination. Moreover, the Holy Family son also threatened to cancel Xianggong's qualification for the scientific examination." This chapter has been completed!
