Chapter three hundred and sixty sixth hospital exam
The local examination in Anlu is scheduled for July 17th.
The first thing to do was the annual examination for the county's students. The results were released on July 16th. However, there were no candidates in the palace. But after the results were announced, Tang Yin hurriedly brought the newly obtained examination questions to see Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin, preparing to analyze the results of the examination.
According to the purpose of the question, they were given surprise guidance.
"This time Zhang Tixue's topic is quite satisfactory. There is no criticism of the current situation. It still focuses on two four-book essays... Let's take a look at these two topics first, which are from "The Analects" and "Mencius" respectively.
I will try to write two articles today, and Yuan Changshi will read them again in the evening..."
Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin took the exam at the same time. Not to mention Tang Yin, even Yuan Zonggao was very concerned about it.
After all, it involves the fame of Yuan Zonggao, his direct grandson. Yuan Zonggao very much hopes that his eldest grandson can pass the college examination at the age of fifteen. However, Tang Yin knows that with Yuan Rulin's talent and learning, it is too difficult to pass this college examination, so he can only hope for a miracle to happen.
.
Yuan Rulin asked: "Write it now?"
Tang Yin's eyes were secretly looking at Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao was looking at the test questions with bright eyes, thoughtfully, but had no intention of writing. He obviously would not do such test questions that would definitely not be asked tomorrow.
Why is it necessary to write questions that have already been asked in the county's annual exam?
"Rulin, write it as soon as possible. Zhu Hao can let him..."
Tang Yin couldn't force anything.
Yuan Rulin hurriedly studied the topic and prepared to write two articles, while Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao and asked: "How are you? Are you confident?"
Zhu Hao smiled and did not answer.
Tang Yindao: "I know that you won't be able to have a hard time in a college exam. I heard that you recently taught the Confucian scholar from the Sun family. How was the progress? Fan Xuezheng mentioned it before he left.
, there is no future at all, unless you can calculate tomorrow’s test questions and give him a sample essay, otherwise..."
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't have that ability. The way I teach him recently is to let him memorize by rote and write twenty articles every day..."
"Ah!? Are you crazy? Twenty articles?"
Tang Yin found it incredible.
"It was true that he couldn't write it at first, but after shutting the door and starving him for two days, let alone twenty articles a day, I estimate that now he can write thirty articles a day."
Zhu Hao said as if he was smiling.
Tang Yin frowned: "Learning is not something that can only be taught from scratch... Hey, this doesn't look like your real level, does it?"
"It depends on the person and the situation... This Confucian scholar was very confident in himself before, so I took out a few articles for him to use as a reference, and carefully figured out the inner structure of the model essays and the choice of words and sentences, and imitated them well. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and he was just that before.
He boasts that he has learned a lot, but after writing one or two articles, he wants to be judged by others, and he is still complacent. I just want him to know that knowledge is gained through accumulation."
Zhu Hao said with a smile.
Tang Yin shook his head: "It's up to you. I hope he can pass the examination as a student member tomorrow, so that other people's criticism of you will subside."
According to Tang Yin's point of view, if you are awesome alone, you are not awesome. If you can cultivate a nerd and gain the title of scholar, then that is your real ability.
After all, Sun Ru is recognized as a rookie in the local area. If teachers and students can take the exam together, how can outsiders dare to comment on Zhu Hao?
"Let Lu Song accompany you and Ru Lin to the examination room tomorrow. Don't come out early like you did during the government examination... Zhang Ti is rigorous in his studies and hates those who claim to have learned from others, especially those like you who became famous before taking the exam.
Child, if you are ranked by seniority, it will never be your turn to get the honors. This time, you can just stick to the qualifications of being the head of the county."
Tang Yin gave good advice.
Zhu Hao smiled and asked: "You don't believe in my knowledge?"
Tang Yin said: "I'm afraid you don't understand the ways of the world... Forget it, just don't mention it, I believe you can control it yourself."
…
…
On the night of July 16th, both Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin spent the night in the palace.
Yuan Rulin couldn't sleep for half the night. He was woken up by Lu Song before dawn. At this time, he had only rested for more than an hour.
"Master Yuan, are you okay?"
Even Lu Song could see Yuan Rulin's nervousness.
Yuan Rulin shook his head and looked at Zhu Hao eagerly.
Zhu Hao said: "Eat something quickly and go to Gongyuan early... If you really have no appetite, bring some food in the test basket and eat when you are hungry at noon."
"Um."
Yuan Rulin seemed to have regained some confidence.
Zhu Hao asked Sun Ru to go home to prepare yesterday and will not go to the examination room with him today.
But when the group arrived at Gongyuan, they still saw Sun Ru there, talking loudly to a group of candidates, still looking like the stupid nerd who was being teased.
"I'm talking about Mr. Sun, I heard that you have studied under a famous teacher. Is your teacher also taking the exam with you today?" Someone made fun of Sun Ru.
Sun Ru didn't look around, nor did she pay attention to Zhu Hao who was waiting to enter the room. She looked embarrassed: "Famous teachers give birth to great disciples, you don't understand this? Look at me taking the exam today... Hey, that's me too
Have the ability..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A group of people were laughing and joking.
We usually hold cultural gatherings together, and Sun Ru is the happy fruit of all the students. Now it is no surprise that everyone still takes him as the object of fun.
Then the Gongyuan opened, and the officials came out, preparing to check in. Everyone held the vouchers in the examination basket in their hands and went through the gate inspection.
…
…
Entering the examination room, unlike the county examination and government examination, all the famous Confucian scholars in the city were waiting inside.
During the college examination, where merit is involved, in order to prevent someone from taking the exam for you, the local students will supervise the candidates they have chosen to ensure that they are all based on their own reference. If there are any deviations, the junior students will also have to take the exam.
There is insurance but no insurance.
The number of mutual insurance candidates is still five, and they need to wait together for the identification and signature of the junior students.
In the Ming Dynasty, the court examination was the same as the county examination and the government examination. There was still only one test before the case was decided, and there was no re-examination. The quality of the two four-script essays determined success or failure.
After Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin entered the scene, they both pledged bail for an old man named Hu Ke from the county. It was hard to tell whether the old man's eyesight was good or not. However, at this time, Zhu Hao also met Zhang Bangqi, a student from the province.
This is Zhang Bangqi's second term at Huguang University. He is only in his early thirties, well-maintained and looks like a young professor.
So polite and academic!
What surprised Zhu Hao was that Zhang Bangqi was actually wearing a pair of glasses that he had given to Su Xigui for sale. At this time, the glasses were placed on the bridge of his nose, giving him a more formal look.
It’s just that most candidates are very curious and don’t even know what glasses are.
"Zhu Hao, a scholar in this county, is the son of a grandfather, Zhu Mingshan, and a father, Zhu Wangong, who was born in a military household in Jinyiwei..." An official from the county ceremony room pointed at Zhu Hao and explained.
Hu Ke glanced at Zhu Hao and nodded to confirm, thinking that he didn't need to recognize this, he could tell at a glance that he was the youngest among the children who came to take the college entrance examination.
If it were a child from an ordinary military family, Zhang Bangqi might still ask for proof that he was Yu Ding, but Jin Yiwei... that would be different. If Jin Yiwei was not Yu Ding, who would be willing to take a child with inheritance rights to take the imperial examination?
Isn’t this a matter of seeking the far distance at the expense of the near?
After a group of people were verified, Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin entered the Jiazi examination booth. This was the second time Zhu Hao came to this examination booth after the government examination. Because there is no need to mention seat numbers during the college examination, the seat allocation of candidates is basically based on the order of registration.
Sure, as Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin are children in the royal family, they signed up relatively early, so their exam numbers are naturally at the front.
…
…
The sun has been out for a long time, but the exam still hasn't started.
This shows that the process of inspection and certification for the college examination is relatively cumbersome. The candidates in the exam booth No. Jiazi were the first to fill up, but no one spoke.
Yuan Rulin's seat is diagonally opposite Zhu Hao.
Perhaps Yuan Zonggao asked someone to do this, so that his grandson could see "Little Mr." Zhu Hao when he looked up during such a big exam and relieve some of his nervousness.
As expected, Yuan Rulin glanced at Zhu Hao from time to time, but the distance between the two rows facing each other in the examination booth was relatively far, and there were yamen patrolling to check the test baskets brought into the examination room by the candidates. No one dared to break the tranquility.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of gongs was heard outside.
"Let's put it to the question!"
A cadre shouted.
Then the doors of each examination booth opened one after another, and two officials came in from each examination booth, holding printed standard papers in their hands, and distributed them to the candidates in each dormitory.
The biggest difference between the college examination and the previous two qualification examinations is that the paper rules are the same. In addition to having to anonymize the names, the paper must be transcribed after the exam. The other two four-script questions are printed directly on the exam paper. Obviously, all the exam papers are printed before issuance.
After careful inspection, make sure there are no leaks or ambiguities.
Even if there is a problem with a candidate's paper, there are spare papers that can be replaced.
However, if a candidate soils the test paper by himself, he does not have the right to change it.
"The exam starts!"
As the admin officer's shout came, the wooden gates of each examination booth were temporarily closed.
There are yamen officers in the examination booths to supervise the examination room, and at the same time, there are groups of yamen officers patrolling the venue. The most important one is the examiner Zhang Bangqi who patrols. During the inspection, if the examinee is found to have misbehaved, he has the right to directly
The papers will be confiscated and the students will be disqualified from the examination.
…
…
The exam begins.
After Zhu Hao finished writing his name and the names of his three generations of ancestors, he immediately turned his attention to the test questions.
The first question is from "Mencius".
"But how can we govern the world alone? There are things for great people, and there are things for small people. There is only one person, and hundreds of works are prepared. If you must do it yourself and then use it, you will lead the way for the world.
Therefore, it is said that either one works with one's mind or one works with one's strength; those who work with one's mind govern others, and those who work with labor govern others; those who govern others eat people, and those who govern others eat others, this is the general meaning of the world."
As soon as Zhu Hao saw the question, he understood that Tang Yin's evaluation of Zhang Bangqi's question as "fair" was very fair.
This question comes up...
The words of the sage are not missed word for word. I will not cut off or break up the sentences. There is no need for you to memorize the chapters before and after. I will tell you the whole paragraph and let you use it to discuss the four books. No one can choose such a topic.
Something went wrong.
The second question is the question of "The Doctrine of the Mean".
"The Master said: 'If the Way is not practiced, I know it. Those who know it will go beyond it, and fools will fall short.' If the Way is unclear, I will know it, and sages will go beyond it. Those who are unworthy will fall short. People all eat and drink, and they rarely know the taste.
'"
This topic... really looks very Zhang Bangqi.
Zhu Hao really wanted to say that people of the mean pay attention to the things of the mean, and what they want is to follow the rules and not leak anything.
