It turns out to be Lu Bing. Needless to say, the "Lu Dianzhan" from before is his father Lu Song. You are really a stooge. Look at your delicate bones at such a young age...
"Young man surnamed Lu, we are here to be selected as reading companions. What a blessing for you, you actually want to be a book boy? Are you willing to be humble?" Mr. Jing was still quick to think, and he immediately noticed the difference between Lu Bing's ideas and those of others.
"Um...uh...this..."
Lu Bing is too young to answer such a tricky question.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "People can be whatever they want to be, don't make it difficult for them...the next exam is about to begin."
Zhu Hao then pointed to a few middle-aged people filing out of the corridor in front of him. Not surprisingly, they should be the examiners of the next exam.
Zhang Zuo didn't show up. One of the examiners who came out this time, Zhu Hao, knew him as Sui Gongyan, who had previously communicated with Mr. Lu, who was suspected of being Tang Bohu. It was said that this person was from Juren and worked as a teacher in the palace. It is possible that he would enter the palace in the future.
I study under his name, so it makes sense for him to be the examiner for the second exam.
As for the person who came out with Sui Gongyan, Zhu Hao actually recognized him. It was Jiang Lun who was a little complacent after being flattered by him when he signed up.
"Okay, don't talk and go back to your seats."
As soon as Jiang Lun arrived, he called the children back to the table where they had just taken the written test.
Zhu Hao and Mr. Jing still sat at the same table.
Originally, there were some empty seats next to it, so that the table could be evenly distributed. As Mr. Jing, he could have a table to himself, but he seemed to be intending to compete with Zhu Hao and refused to leave.
Zhu Hao didn't bother to pay attention.
…
…
All children are in place.
Jiang Lun looked around and said with a smile: "It seems that you all performed well in the first exam. If you can continue to stay here, it means that you have good knowledge."
Just being able to recite a few lines of "The Analects" is considered good?
This Jiang Lun is very capable of putting a high hat on others!
Jiang Lun continued: "For the second exam, Mr. Sui, the master of longevity and longevity, will be taught by me. Please listen carefully. If you can pass this test, you will be one step closer to becoming the royal palace's companion."
Although it was just a casual conversation, Zhu Hao still got some key information from it.
Originally, Zhu Hao didn't know how many exams there were in this selection, but according to Jiang Lun, this was not the last one. There would be at least one more round after that, and the examiners would most likely have to be replaced by then. Zhu Hao hoped that Zhu San
Come out with Zhu Si to choose a reading companion, and his chances of success will be greatly increased.
"Now, please ask Mr. Sui to give the question." After Jiang Lun finished speaking, he looked at Sui Gongyan, who was already sitting upright on the chair, meaning that you can start.
Zhu Hao lowered his head.
From his simple interactions with Sui Gongyan before, he knew that this man was very narrow-minded. If he found out that he was selected here, something might happen.
Mr. Lu made it clear that I was his disciple. Would Sui Gongyan accept the disciple of a person whose knowledge and reputation were higher than his own?
Sui Gongyan didn't seem to notice Zhu Hao's presence. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His voice was rich and powerful: "Confucian students should not only study the classics, but also be knowledgeable about the past and the present..."
Zhu Hao understood immediately.
The topic is definitely biased.
really.
"Then let me tell you about China's history of more than two thousand years from pre-Qin to the present."
Should everyone choose to stare at children and discuss history?
The questions clearly exceeded the syllabus, and also deviated from the theme of the selected companion readers. Wasn't it agreed that whoever was more knowledgeable would stay as a companion reader? The problem is that the imperial examination does not test these things.
Sui Gongyan seemed unaware of the confusion in the hearts of the children present. He circled the index finger of his right hand and said, "Write your names on the eyebrows of the examination paper."
These words left the children, Monk Zhanger, confused. Is this a history test?
Jiang Lun said hurriedly: "I ask you to write as fast as you can so that you can know whose paper it is when you go back. If you write slowly, you will not be able to answer the questions later."
Jiang Lun is a warm-hearted person, Zhu Hao can tell. This guy's status in the palace is not high, so he uses every method to show his existence... Brother, you have low self-esteem!
"It is said that in the pre-Qin period, many sages emerged in our land of China. Since the Shennong family established the Ding, the people of our country have begun to live a life of men farming and women weaving. Later, they experienced several sage monarchs, including Yao, Shun and Yu. At that time, China was flooded
There are many people, one of them said, 'Marrying a wife for a long time, and staying in the family', which monarch is he talking about?"
Speaking of this, Sui Gongyan stopped, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Needless to say, this is the first question.
This question might not be difficult to answer if adults who are full of poems and books are asked to answer it, but the people in front of them are a group of children who are generally seven or eight years old and have only read books for one or two years... It is almost like listening to a heavenly book.
You may not even know the question has been asked after listening!
"Marrying a wife for a certain period of time, and staying with the family without being private", this question is too childish for Zhu Hao. Isn't this the same as Dayu who "passed through the house three times without entering" during the flood control?
But you can't write Dayu, you have to write "Yu". The examiners have said that this person should come from Yao, Shun and Yu. Zhu Hao wrote it in one stroke, and Mr. Jing on the side answered it without any suspense.
But looking at the students present, less than half can pick up a pen and write on paper. Whether this is correct or not is another matter.
After Sui Gongyan finished his tea, he continued to talk regardless of whether the children had finished their answers: "After that, he went through the Xia and Shang dynasties. There were sage monarchs like Shang Tang. However, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, the people were in dire straits. King Wu conquered Zhou, and the Zhou Dynasty
Establish."
We were all waiting for the questions to come out, but the test questions didn’t appear at this point.
"The Zhou Dynasty spread to King You, and the beacon fire played on the princes, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed... By the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes and states had arisen one after another, first in the Spring and Autumn Period, and later in the Warring States Period. At this time, there were hundreds of schools of thought. Tai Shigong once said, 'There is no difference between kinship or distance, nor distinction between people.
As soon as the distinction between noble and inferior is separated from the law, the kindness of relatives and respecters will cease.' Which of the hundreds of schools of thought are you talking about?"
The second question is thrown out.
The children present were dumbfounded again.
We haven’t even fully understood Confucianism yet, so you’re like a hundred schools of thought?
Zhu Hao thought about it in his mind: "Could it be that Sui Gongyan admired Legalism? King Xing would summon a juren who admired Legalism to teach his son... It's interesting."
When I picked up my pen, I could easily write the word "Legalism".
This time Mr. Jing thought about it for a long time before he started writing, but he was obviously not very sure. This question was a bit out of scope for him.
"At the end of the Warring States Period, the King of Qin wiped out all the wasteland and Liuhe, and established unparalleled achievements. However, the Qin Dynasty could not be conquered for more than two generations. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were many people who had the ambition to know the swans. There is also an allusion that even though three households in Chu were able to destroy Qin, the conflict between Chu and Han
Ding, the great Han Dynasty determined the power of China. There was Wen Jing in the past and the rule of Xiao Xuan in the back. At that time, which emperor implemented the strategy of 'deposing hundreds of schools and publishing the Six Classics'?"
The third question comes out.
Zhu Hao replied: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was the chaos of Xinmang and Gengshi, and the green forest and red eyebrows became demons. Fortunately, Guangwu established the country and continued the Han Dynasty for another two hundred years."
"However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many heroes came together, and some owl leaders held the emperor and commanded the princes. However, in the southwest, the royal family was still relatively peaceful. The first ruler was benevolent and often taught the later ruler to restore the Han Dynasty. He had a clear understanding of good and evil things.
After some judgment, which sentence is it?"
Question 4.
Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small.
"Then the Lord was too ignorant to control the Central Plains. Wei destroyed the Han, Jin destroyed the Wei, Sima's benevolence was not cultivated, and the Central Plains was completely lost. The barbarians invaded China, and the general trend of the world will divide and unite for a long time. The Sui Dynasty will rule China.
However, Emperor Yang conquered Goguryeo three times, abused the people's power, and indulged in extravagance and lust, so much so that Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty raised an army in Taiyuan to establish the foundation of the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years."
"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was cultivating benevolence and virtue. Wei Zheng once quoted, "Those who use boats and water to admonish the king, which sentence is it?"
Question five.
The king is a boat, and the common people are water. The water carries the boat, and the water overturns the boat.
…
…
The question is already halfway through, and Zhu Hao doesn't feel there's anything wrong with answering it.
In fact, as long as you are familiar with Chinese history, these are not difficult problems, but the problem is that the candidates in front of you are all naive. It is extremely difficult to acquire knowledge these days. As long as there is no one to teach you, you cannot learn by yourself.
Zhu Hao also learned some rules from Sui Gongyan's topic formulation.
It sounds like Legalism, but in essence it is Confucianism. Linking the rise and fall of a dynasty to whether the emperor practices "benevolence" seems dialectical, but in fact it is all subjective assumptions.
"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, and the Five Dynasties were in chaos. Later, Chen Qiao, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, rebelled and reorganized China. However, brothers quarreled, the gold cabinet was in doubt, the shadow of the candle and the ax were heard, and the throne fell..."
There is actually no question here.
Zhu Hao heard the problem.
The throne falls...
Does this mean that Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne in a wrong way?
Do you dare to say such nonsense?
"...The shame of Jingkang is the shame of China. The Song Dynasty was in Lin'an in the south of the Yangtze River for more than a hundred years. The Tatars rose in the grasslands and overturned China. Kyushu was in trouble. The edifice of the country was about to collapse. There are still loyal ministers and righteous men who never forget their loyalty. Wen Zhongzhong martyred Duke
When I crossed the Lingding Ocean, I wrote a poem expressing my feelings. Please write it down."
Question six.
After all the hard work, only the stars are scattered all around. The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind is floating, and the life experience is ups and downs. The fear is on the beach, and I am alone in the ocean and sigh. Since ancient times, no one has died, and he has left a loyal heart to illuminate the history.
"The Meng Yuan Dynasty ruled our Han people with cruelty and cruelty. I, the Emperor Taizu, raised troops in Wu. With the help of loyal ministers and good generals, he drove out the Tartars and conquered China..."
At this point, Zhu Hao really wanted to hear Sui Gongyan's evaluation of this dynasty, but Sui Gongyan was very shrewd and stopped abruptly: "...Okay, that's it. Submit what you wrote and put it aside.
