Changsun Wen felt like he was going to faint with anger!
However, Yang Fan did not intend to let him go, and sneered: "Don't shirk the blame. You still want to deny it in front of everyone? In order to maintain the order of the examination room, I cannot delay everyone's time because of you."
"Come here, please drive this person out for me and remove him from this year's imperial examination..."
"If you are dissatisfied, you can go to His Majesty and file a complaint. Now get away from me. If you delay the imperial examination, do you believe that someone will beat you to death on the spot?"
Seeing the two left guard soldiers rushing towards him like wolves and tigers, Changsun Wen was so frightened that he trembled and was taken away with his arms before he could react.
Changsun Wen had a good father and a good aunt, but when he was so wronged, his stubborn temper suddenly broke out!
His hands flew wildly and his legs kicked, trying to stop the soldiers from dragging him away. Unfortunately, everything was in vain, so he turned around and cursed:
"Yang Fan, you are so shameless. You actually abused your private power and framed the situation. Just wait for me. I will let my father report it to Your Majesty and see how you explain it."
"Also, you are actually using a public weapon privately to avenge yourself. Don't let me meet you when you walk on the street. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you."
Well?
All the candidates laughed in surprise.
Even if you say a few cruel words before leaving, you have to be more reliable, right?
Like using the relationship between Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugao to put pressure on Yang Fan.
But it’s outrageous to say that I’ll beat someone every time I see him in the future!
Who knows that Yang Fan's reputation as a university was not just blown away.
Apart from the time when they destroyed Tubo, they never suffered a loss even in fights.
Generally, dozens of strong men may not be Yang Fan's opponent. You, Sun Wen, look like a dandy with small arms and legs. How dare you hit others every time you see them?
What a bragging!
Ignoring Chairman Sun Wen's revelations, Yang Fan felt much better.
That guy actually dared to be the cannon fodder of the aristocratic family, Yang Fan would not be merciful.
Humming a little tune, my heart was filled with beauty, and I had no sense of the treacherous officials who wanted to avenge their private lives and frame them for trouble.
With this warning to Changsun Wen, the people behind him will not dare to escape.
After all, Yang Fan, the son of company commander Sun Wuji, dared to pull him out on the spot and talk about other people?
This also resulted in a lot of small pieces of paper on the ground with densely written words on them.
As long as these people are thrown out on their own initiative, Yang Fan will certainly not pursue them.
What's more, Yang Fan just wants to create a relatively fair examination environment.
With everyone's cooperation, the body search progress was accelerated, and an hour later, all candidates had entered the examination room.
The servants who accompanied these people could only go back and wait.
The imperial examination this time was different from the past. The three-day examination was held in a closed room in the Imperial College. Except for brains and toiletries, no other things were allowed to be brought in.
Yang Fan didn't have much interest in betting on this imperial examination.
According to his idea, he would rather go to the battlefield and fight than become a test taker.
What's more, the current exam is really boring. The key is that he hasn't read a few of these Four Books and Five Classics stuff, so he has no clue at all.
In Yang Fan's view, the essence of Confucian culture such as the Four Books and Five Classics is good.
It has inherited and recorded the fine traditions of the Chinese nation of politeness, friendliness, gentleness and loyalty, conscientiousness and hard work, and benevolence and tolerance. However, Confucianism also has fatal historical limitations.
The feudal ethics of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Rules maintain autocratic rule and hierarchical society, suppress the freedom of human nature, inhibit thought, and hinder the development of natural science.
It can be said that Confucianism is an ultimate philosophical thought that can cultivate a person's moral sentiments, but it is not a knowledge that governs the world perfectly, because it is easy for people to lose their enterprising spirit and bloody spirit.
Speaking of which, if the theory of "Confucianism as the clothing and law as the root" can really be realized, it will undoubtedly be the most ideal way to govern the country in feudal society.
But how difficult is it?
The emperor and major aristocratic families did not allow it because it violated their fundamental interests.
The imperial examination examination room has been rearranged to look a bit like a small independent space. Each candidate is separated by an independent wooden board to prevent peeking.
Yang Fan sat listlessly in the examination seat. When he raised his head, he could see other candidates who were immersed in answering questions.
Of course, only one head can be seen.
However, after searching carefully, I couldn't find the poor student just now.
I originally thought about asking Li Yifu to find that guy, but in the end I had to give up.
Looking at Li Yifu, who was carefully invigilated by five people and six people, Yang Fan sighed.
This guy was able to understand everything with just a look, no wonder he became a traitor.
Putting aside the stain on this guy's original history, this guy's abilities are definitely impressive.
No wonder emperors of all dynasties like to use treacherous ministers, they are so useful!
As long as you control it properly, you will be much better than those loyal ministers who only know how to give direct advice.
Of course, the formation of a person's character has a lot to do with a person's experience and environment.
At another time, Wu Zetian needed someone like Li Yifu as a sharp sword for her to deal with opponents, and this was how Li Yifu was created.
Some things are inevitable. Even if there is no Li Yifu, there will definitely be others who will step in to do these things for Wu Zetian.
As the saying goes, times make heroes.
If Li Yifu had followed His Majesty Li Er to a high position a few years earlier, would he have dared to form such a large number of cronies, buy officials and sell titles?
The answer is of course no. His Majesty Li Er teaches him how to be a good person every minute with his skills.
Now that Wu Meiniang is brought into his room, the Emperor Wu Zetian in history will probably never appear again.
So will Li Yifu's life also change accordingly?
This is a false proposition, and no one can have an answer because it has not happened yet.
Seeing Yang Fan staring at him closely in the examination room, Li Yifu felt a little uneasy. After all, Yang Fan was his nobleman. He was about to step forward to ask, but Yang Fan shook his head gently to stop him.
The candidates who were betting couldn't help but sigh in relief when they saw that Yang Fan was not focusing on the exam at all.
It seems that Yang Fan's talent is only in poetry and poetry, and he is really not good at taking exams.
Originally, these children from aristocratic families had already asked people to write ghostwriting papers, but the body search just now frightened these candidates.
Looking back now, it turns out that the Marquis was an upright gentleman. He didn't carry any cheat sheets, he just sat there in a daze.
It was probably because Changsun Wen had hidden the cheat sheet that Marquis Zhongyi recognized it as a provocation to him, so he was punished so severely.
Since there are no cheating items such as cheat sheets, Yang Fan will not be rude as long as he takes the exam with his true ability.
The candidates all think so, but in fact no one dares to test the discipline of the examination room. After all, the risk is too great.
Yang Fan stretched out boredly and yawned.
Because of the preparations for the imperial examination, I didn't sleep well these days.
I haven't gone home for several days to sleep with the beauty in my arms, and I feel really depressed.
Even when the exam is going smoothly, there will naturally be those candidates with poor skills who are trying to make up for their mistakes and are scratching their heads and scratching their heads because they cannot answer the test questions.
Those who secretly stretched their necks to see other people's answers were frightened and trembled by Li Yifu's righteous warning.
In fact, these candidates are a little too worried!
This imperial examination is not so much an exam as it is an excess, a show.
This was a compromise made by His Majesty Li Er to the aristocratic families in exchange for the support of these aristocratic families for the real imperial examination in the future, at least not blatant opposition.
Since it is a show, why should it be too harsh?
The previous inspection was just to express a meaning.
The future imperial examinations will be like this. They are fair and impartial and no one can fish in troubled waters!
Now that his attitude has been expressed, those noble families must not be fools, and they will naturally understand what he means.
Strictly speaking, Yang Fan's task as the examiner has been completed.
Now it's just a matter of gambling with the children of those aristocratic families!
Thinking of this, Yang Fan turned his attention to the test questions.
In the Tang Dynasty, examination subjects were divided into regular subjects and system subjects. The examinations held in stages every year were called regular subjects, and the examinations held temporarily by the emperor's decree were called system subjects.
The subjects of the regular examination are generally divided into six subjects: Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Mingfa, Mingshu, and Mingshu.
Among them, the Xiucai subject was called the "unique subject" by people at the time. It was the earliest established subject among the six regular subjects in the Tang Dynasty, has the longest history, and has the highest legal status.
However, because the Xiucai subject was too difficult and demanding, there were only a few candidates, and it was abolished during the Yonghui reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
The high school scholars at this time were not the scholars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties...
Regarding the examinations related to showmanship, there is still a lot of content. If you don’t have two brushes, you won’t even dare to register.
After all, the admission rate is too low!
The Xiucai Section is also divided into three exams, with three days for candidates to answer questions.
The content includes a poem, policy analysis, classics, history, current affairs, and the content of the Four Books and Five Classics...
Regarding poetry, it is not difficult for Yang Fan, but there are many questions in it, but they cannot be answered casually.
Allusions will be quoted in the process of answering questions, but they cannot be used casually. There are also classics and meanings among them.
In short, if you want to write well, you must not have a single idea, you must have your own opinions and theories, and the most important thing must be in line with the examiner's ideas.
Although Yang Fan is the examiner, he is not the marking officer. Therefore, the answers must meet the taste of the marking officer.
This review was jointly composed by great scholars such as Kong Yingda and important officials in the court such as Fang Xuanling.
It can be said that these people are all reformists who support His Majesty Li Er.
The exam process went smoothly.
On the first day, Yang Fan made another copy of the poems and poems.
The next day I quoted scriptures and explained some of its meanings, which was quite decent.
The policy discussion on the third day comes from a conversation between Confucius and Zi Zhang.
The title comes from Chapter 23 of The Analects of Confucius: We can know the ten generations.
Zizhang asked: "How can we know the tenth life?"
Confucius said: "The gains and losses of the Yin Dynasty due to the Xia rites can be known; the gains and losses of the Zhou Dynasty due to the Yin rites can be known; and those who may succeed the Zhou Dynasty can be known even for hundreds of generations."
The general meaning is that most of the following systems were passed down from above.
If we understand this topic according to this topic, it is easy to say that it is an old-fashioned school that supports the same level of change.
But Yang Fan knew that it was actually wrong to write based on this argument.
This topic was proposed by His Majesty Li Er himself. This emperor is not a conservative.
Moreover, Confucius was not a staunch believer in the law; he was not actually opposed to change.
It can be seen from this that this topic was created to support change.
If you write a conservative article at this time, even if it is written in a colorful and brilliant way, it will not get a grade in the eyes of the marking officer.
So Yang Fan knows how to get started!
The central idea of the article is to support the reform, but it should not be too overt.
After all, in ancient times it was easy to get punished for words, so you should write more obscurely.
If you write very straightforwardly, you are likely to create a lot of enemies, so you must be rigorous and think carefully before writing.
Although there were many articles about reform in his mind, Yang Fan had an idea after thinking about it.
I moved an article I read before directly here, that is Mr. Liang Qichao's "Youth Power".
The general meaning is to encourage young people to dare to innovate and have the enterprising spirit of reform, which implies the great spirit of hoping that the country will be strong and prosperous.
Of course, this article was originally prose and needs to be polished.
In Yang Fan's opinion, this article supports reform and ideological emancipation.
The description based on this argument is neither ostentatious nor too exaggerated, and it also contains the meaning of reform.
After writing for a while, I saw the black and clear fonts on the test paper. I checked it four or five times and breathed a sigh of relief when I was sure there was nothing wrong.
There was no pause in the process of writing the article, and Yang Fan was quite satisfied.
Mr. Liang Qichao spent many days and nights thinking about this article. He probably did not expect that someone would move his article to the examination room of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a relatively classic sentence in the article that Yang Fan likes the most.
The wisdom of young people will make the country wise, the richness of young people will make the country rich, and the strength of young people will make the country strong!
Written in Leanjing style, it shows a sense of arrogance and elitism, fully embodying the hard-working and enterprising spirit of the Huaxia nation.
Even if you don't read the article, just looking at the handwriting, there is an oncoming sharpness that is impressive.
Yang Fan looked up and saw that many candidates next to him were sweating anxiously and thinking about how to set the topic, but Yang Fan had already written it.
This is the benefit of standing on the shoulders of giants.
After I stopped writing, the three-day imperial examination was coming to an end, and it was considered a smooth ride.
Yang Fan finished the exam so early, and I have to say that it seemed boring to finish answering the questions in advance.
Other candidates may not think three days is very long because they think the time to answer questions is too short.
No communication is allowed during the exam, and you have to stay alone after writing.
Yang Fan looked at the partition in front, and occasionally heard the voices of scholars in front and behind sighing in the small pavilion. It was obviously not difficult for him. Such a depressing atmosphere was very uncomfortable.
As the rule maker, Yang Fan certainly cannot leave the game early.
If you don't lead by example, who will take your words seriously?
Looking at Yang Fan who was bored, Li Yifu quietly walked over and asked in surprise: "Master Marquis, have you finished writing so quickly?"
Seeing Yang Fan nodding decisively, Li Yifu's eyes burst into light.
As an invigilator, of course he also saw the questions on the imperial examination policy.
In his opinion, one word - difficult!
I didn’t see many exams where I didn’t even finish writing, and I was stumped by such questions.
With a sigh in his heart, Li Yifu was even more sure that following Yang Fan was the right choice.
Yang Fan didn't know whether Li Yifu was worshiping him or not.
Now that he has decided to take Li Yifu under his wing, Yang Fan has the means to deal with him and cannot let this guy raise his tail.
After a long wait, it's finally over.
After leaving the examination room, Yang Fan took a long breath. The sun was shining brightly outside and the air was fresh. He never wanted to be an examinee again!
