When spring comes, the most important event in Yujing City is the imperial examination.
The ninth day of March is the day when the imperial examination begins.
Hong Yi was sitting on the carriage, with Xiao Anran and Painting Sheng Qian Daozi beside him, followed by many healthy servants. At this time, he was listening to the noise outside and looked calm.
"They are all recruiting people, and all of them are followed by slaves. Therefore, this time of every scientific examination is the most chaotic time."
Painting saint Qian Daozi said: "The Juzi and the servants below, as well as the chariots and horses, can never be uniform. Every time, troops must be sent out from the court to control the situation... If you have free time, do a scientific examination of the Juzi. The paintings of living beings are pretty good.”
But that's not possible today. Today Qian Daozi has the responsibility to bring Hong Yi into the examination room.
When we arrived at the place, we got off the carriage. Also getting off the carriage here was the little prodigy of the Fang family, Fangyuan.
This little prodigy cleaned his ancestral house when he was young and found the "Wuji Dragon Ring". He was able to use the "Ji" Wuji Tianyin of the ancient Holy Emperor, which was extremely impressive.
Hong Yi and Fangyuan did not speak, but entered the examination room.
"Articles, strategies, poems."
"The first test is essay."
Many officials in this high platform thought secretly.
Sitting in the examiner's position is Yang Pan. His subordinate is Hong Xuanji. This exam is of great importance, so Yang Pan rarely comes here and looks down at the holy temple opposite.
There are wisps of fireworks there, and the saints are enshrined inside.
Hong Xuanji silently held the wheel of life and death. At this moment, his demeanor was actually consistent with the demeanor of the saints in the temple!
"His Majesty……"
Li Shenguang stepped forward and asked Yang Pan, "Do you want to hand out papers?"
"nature."
Yang Pan said quietly.
Many of the people who came for the scientific examination this time came from the Zhuzi family, and they were also the ones Yang Pan wanted to win over. At this time, Yang Pan was here because he wanted to observe Qi and see how the Zhuzi family , and what talents can appear among the noble families in the world.
"Wait a minute..."
Xu Lang said, walked in the door, and entered the examination place grandly.
Yang Pan's heart tightened, and Hong Xuanji immediately stood up and stood in front of Yang Pan.
"Don't be so nervous."
Xu Lang looked at Hong Xuanji and said with a smile: "You were very good at imitating the philosophies just now, but you just missed the point of grasping the essence."
Hong Xuanji clenched his fists, intending to defend, and said: "This is the opening of the Qian Dynasty to recruit scholars. I don't know why you came here all the time?"
The officials present were all discerning people. They knew that this man was a powerful person who had established the Fenbao Rock, set up portals all over the world, divided various families, and the noble families of the world, so they all tacitly kept silent.
"I just feel that it is a pity to open up subjects to recruit scholars and stipulate articles within a framework. Some scholars have thousands of words, but the article topics are wrong, and they are all discarded."
Xu Lang naturally said: "So I am here to make this article without a title. As long as all the candidates present have something in their hearts, they can write it on the paper, so that we can see what is happening in the world." Which officials have hidden secrets and strategies, and which ones are unrealistic?"
Originally, the topic of the scientific examination this time was Confucius said, "Hundred Saints of the Hongyi Society Ming", but this was a plot that Xu Lang already knew, so it was boring, so he dropped the topic and wanted to see what would happen. .
"What the Taoist said is great!"
Yang Pan was surprised that Xu Lang came back from Tianwaitian so quickly. He was speculating about Xu Lang, but he still nodded and said, "Just follow the Taoist priest's wishes." After saying that, Yang Pan did not dare to sit in his position for a long time. Afraid of causing Xu Lang any dissatisfaction, he walked down from his seat and stood next to Xu Lang.
Very eye-catching!
Seeing Yang Pan like this, Xu Lang nodded, turned back and looked at the examination room.
The Great Qian Dynasty was rich in materials, and there was also the movable type printing technology that had been "invented" by Champion Hou. With Yang Pan's order, everything was quickly done. The test papers were handed out one by one, and when they saw that there were no questions on them, they were so surprised. People are having trouble with the following exercises.
"Is my paper not printed?"
"Why is there no question in the scientific examination this time?"
“What’s a question without a question?”
The candidates have a lot to think about.
"untitled?"
Hong Yi looked at the paper in front of him and wanted to burst out the many literary talents in his chest. However, at this time, he was looking for an appropriate structure and thinking about how to make the article better.
On the high platform, many officials looked at the many examination rooms below, and each one of them was silently making a fuss in his mind.
"Master Hong."
Xu Lang still gave Hong Xuanji face in front of others, calling Hong Xuanji Taishi Hong, and said: "I heard that you are a prodigy. I wonder where in this untitled test paper I can solve the problem and start writing the essay?"
Hong Xuanji's eyes flashed, and he said: "Since there is no title, why bother to break it! Heaven will create people, benevolence, justice, etiquette and wisdom are already complete, but people don't know their nature and cannot be comprehensive and perfect, so there are smart and wise people among them. , must be the emperor and teacher of destiny, to rule and teach them, and restore their true nature!"
What Hong Xuanji said was his great theory of "Neo-Confucianism".
He deleted the "mythological" chapters in classical books, obscured ancient history, and omitted Shinto, in order to establish a humane system, and the most important thing in this humane system was natural law, benevolence, justice, propriety, and wisdom.
When people are born, they already have the natural principles of "benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom", but they are blinded by desires, reduce desires and follow the natural principles. This is Neo-Confucianism.
Hong Xuanji's words were engraved in the hearts of many officials at once, as if they were natural principles. They were shocked and incomprehensible.
"Master Hong, you want to be a scholar!"
Examiner Li Shenguang felt very uncomfortable when he heard Hong Xuanji's words and said with a dark face.
"The disciples are also human beings."
Hong Xuanji closed his eyes slightly, feeling at ease.
In the examination room in front, a beautiful article appeared, which was written by Fangyuan, the genius prodigy of the Fang family. His expression was as bright as the night, and the clouds turned into many colors.
But such an article is not worth mentioning in the face of the "law of heaven" that Hong Xuanji just mentioned. The radius is just a small cloud, but Hong Xuanji covers the entire world!
At this moment, in the examination room, Hong Yi looked at the test paper in front of him, thinking about the questions over and over again. While thinking, he looked at the blank space in front of him, and his heart suddenly became bright.
Untitled means there is no title!
Since there is no title, why bother to write one yourself?
A group of dragons without a leader...good luck!
In the Zixiao Palace, looking at the classics of hundreds of schools of thought and the manuscripts of various scholars, the many wisdoms in Hong Yi's heart gathered together at this time. He held the pen in his hand, and when it fell, light shot up into the sky!
"Fuck, Won Henry Jung!"
Ninth day: Hidden Dragon, don’t use it.
Ninety-Two: Seeing a dragon in the field is a good way to meet an adult!
…
Chapter 9: A proud dragon has regrets!
Use nine: Seeing a group of dragons without a leader is auspicious!
After writing these things, Hong Yi felt that his mind went blank. At this time, he felt that the energy of the article in his mind had been exhausted!
But at the same time, a hundred saints chanted in unison!
