Chapter 306: Essay Trial
"Nangong Hao?!"
After all the shabby people heard Nangong Hao's three words, their expressions that were still excited also changed, and they all fell completely silent.
Nangong Hao...... Do you want to come to this temple exam?"
"If Nangong Hao participates, it will be really difficult, although Fang Zhengzhi is powerful, but it is impossible for him to beat Nangong Hao, right?"
"Alas...... However, it's okay to get a good ranking, why do you have to beat Nangong Hao?"
"That's right. ”
The news of Nangong Hao's participation in the palace examination is certainly not a secret to the people of Yanjing City, but for some people who rushed over from outside Yanjing City, it is definitely a shocking thing.
A man who already had the title of the world's number one talent four years ago ...... four years later
What kind of strength will it have?
Fang Zhengzhi naturally ignored the discussions of the surrounding crowd, from the county test to the government test and then to the court test, he can be regarded as an experienced person no matter what he says now.
He felt he needed to be calm.
Isn't it just to take the "Taoist Classic", it's not too easy.
Yan Xiu was wearing a dark green dress and a square blue robe standing together today, but there was a match, and the two walked side by side.
Soon, they passed through the palace gate.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, several guards wearing armor stopped Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, and after verifying the identities of Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu and conducting a routine check, they signaled Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu to wait beside them.
Fang Zhengcheng didn't say anything, after all, this is a palace test, and everything has to be done according to the rules.
At this moment, there are already hundreds of people standing there waiting in the palace gate, all of them looking a little nervous, and some people are talking in groups.
"Young Master Yan. Young Master Fang!"
Before Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu could reach the crowd, a person walked out of the crowd with a smile, followed by several sons in gorgeous clothes.
It's the witch wind.
"Hmm. Yan Xiu nodded indifferently and didn't say anything.
And Fang Zheng's eyes fell on the emerald green flute in Wu Feng's hand again, looking at the cloud patterns on it, there was always a strange feeling in his heart.
"I don't know how Fang Gongzi has prepared for this palace exam?" Wu Feng smiled. didn't mean anything close to Yan Xiutao, but walked to Fang Zheng's side.
"Do you need to prepare?" Fang Zhengzhi said indifferently.
"Huh...... Also, I heard that Fang Gongzi won six test papers in one fell swoop in the literary examination of the court examination, but it broke the history of our Great Xia Dynasty. Wu Feng smiled and nodded.
"That's true, if we take the "Dao Canon" again in this palace exam, we really have to admit defeat to Fang Gongzi in advance. A young man who followed Wu Feng also nodded.
"It is estimated that in terms of understanding the "Taoist Classics", I think that there are only two people in the world who can compare with Fang Gongzi, Nangong Hao and Chi Guyan, but it's a pity......" The other prince also stopped when he said it.
"What is a pity?" Fang Zheng looked directly at the two people in front of him, a little puzzled.
"Fang Gongzi won't know, right?" the two Gongzi heard Fang Zheng's question. They all looked at each other, and they all seemed to have a faint smile.
Fang Zhengcheng didn't ask any more, because he knew that since the two people in front of him had talked about the topic here, they would say it whether they asked or not.
As Fang Zhengzhi expected, Fang Zhengzhi didn't ask, and the two sons immediately couldn't sit still.
Just about to speak again. was stopped in time by Wu Feng.
"It's normal for Fang Gongzi not to know, it's just. I thought that you and Yan Gongzi were together, so naturally you should know something. When Wu Feng said this, his eyes also subconsciously glanced at Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu's expression changed slightly at this moment, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi fiercely.
"I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you, the palace exam is not a test of the "Taoist Classics"!" After Yan Xiu finished speaking, a thick apology also rose on his face.
"Don't take the "Taoist Classics"?!" Fang Zheng's expression stiffened slightly.
Some time ago, Yan Xiu had been in a state of recuperation, so Fang Zhengzhi didn't bother. And after Yan Xiu recovered from his injury, he also paid more attention to the release of the morning test and eating, drinking and having fun.
I didn't care too much about the temple test.
After all, in his heart, after a series of literary examinations of the county examination, the government examination, and the court examination, he had already subconsciously thought that the literary examination of the palace examination must also be the "Taoist Classic".
Then, naturally, I didn't ask much.
"Hahaha...... It turns out that Fang Gongzi really doesn't know, then you have to take advantage of the time when there is still half an hour to start the exam, and prepare well. The two sons who followed Wu Feng also laughed when they heard this.
And the other talented people who were standing on the side also heard the laughter coming from this side at this moment.
"Fang Zhengzhi actually doesn't know if the palace exam is not the "Taoist Classic"?"
"It's really a good show to watch, we have been preparing for this temple test for two years, and he is good, he came to the exam empty-handed? hahaha......"
"I really haven't seen anyone who didn't prepare for the temple exam. ”
"Wait a minute and see how he writes!"
As if they had discovered the most surprising thing, there was a smile in their eyes when they looked at Fang Zheng, just like watching a joke.
"Since Fang Gongzi really doesn't know, it's really not good for me to bother here, so I'll go over first, Fang Gongzi should be a little prepared. Wu Feng looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then at Yan Xiu, and left with a smile.
Fang Zhengcheng didn't say much.
And the guilty expression on Yan Xiu's face became more and more intense: "I ...... this matter"
"Why do you think Wu Feng said such a thing just now?" Fang Zheng looked at Yan Xiu directly, of course he believed that Yan Xiu could not deliberately hide it from him.
Wu Feng deliberately pointed the finger at Yan Xiu at this time, obviously provoking.
Moreover, it is an extremely subtle provocation.
"Understood. Yan Xiu nodded, and did not continue to explain, but said softly: "The palace examination has always been directly asked by the saint, so the previous examinations are not the content of the "Taoist Classics". ”
"What's that test?" Fang Zhengzhi roughly understood, although the content of the "Taoist Codex" contained the truth. However, the questions of the temple examination are all given by the Holy Lord.
Then, it is impossible to produce the test questions in advance by the six departments like the court examination.
And......
The most important thing is that it is impossible for the Holy Lord to come up with a large number of dense exam questions, at best, it is only one or two questions.
So. It's easy to understand.
If one or two questions are still selected from the "Taoist Classics", it is very likely that nearly 100 of the hundreds of test papers will have exactly the same answer.
How to judge the high?
"Strategy!" Yan Xiu replied.
"I see. Fang Zhengzhi had actually guessed the answer in his heart.
He really didn't think about it, he turned around and turned back again, in the previous world, the ancient emperor abolished the eight shares and opened the test strategy.
It is the hope that the current political issues will be raised in the temple examination.
Then, it is up to the talented people of the reference to answer. And to the imperial court, and the word policy theory, so it also comes, policy theory, to put it bluntly, is an article to the imperial court.
So......
Here's the problem.
As these talents said, a good article, in addition to quoting scriptures, should also include current affairs and the difficulties of the imperial court.
You only understand the difficulties that the imperial court is facing now. in order to give the corresponding article well.
Moreover, an article from the outlet. From polishing to the finished draft, it takes ten, or even dozens or hundreds of times of continuous grinding.
In this way, there is hope to stand out from the crowd.
That's why those people just now looked at Fang Zhengzhi like that.
Everyone has been preparing for two years, and they are always concerned about the situation in the imperial court, and they know everything about what has happened in the past two years. In addition, it was considered and considered in the article.
It is estimated that no less than five current affairs papers have been considered.
And Fang Zhengzhi was upright, completely unprepared, with an empty head, and came up to participate in the temple examination with a pen.
If you do this, you can still win the literary examination of the palace examination in one fell swoop.
That's a real anecdote for the ages.
"What should I do?" Fang Zhengzhi's brows furrowed, and he cursed in his heart. It's really unlucky, don't say you didn't know anything when you came.
Even if you really know in advance.
In three or four days, to know everything that has happened in the court in the past two years, and to understand the problems encountered by the court, it is simply a ladder to delusional hope to ascend to the sky.
Something completely impossible.
"I have a few strategic ......" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, and when the words came to his mouth, he stopped talking a little.
"That's right, hurry up and copy Yan Xiu's strategy!"
"Fang Zhengzhi, if I were you, I would definitely let Yan Xiu say it immediately. ”
"Hmm...... We also want to hear Yan Gongzi's strategy, I wonder if Yan Gongzi can teach a lesson or two?"
After hearing Yan Xiu's words, the talented people who were standing around immediately gathered around one by one, just like a local dog waiting to be fed.
Yan Xiu's expression was slightly cold, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
And Fang Zhengzhi smiled.
Of course he knows the thoughts of these talents, he is not prepared to make a strategy, these people are estimated to be able to wake up laughing from a dream, how can he give Fang Zhengzhi a chance to copy Yan Xiu?
"Don't worry, I know in my heart, I will definitely be able to pass the literary test of this palace exam!" Fang Zheng glanced at the talents around him, and directly rejected Yan Xiu's kindness.
And his heart was almost dripping blood.
Yan Xiu's strategy!
I really want to copy it.
Fang Zhengzhi doesn't care about cheating or not cheating, if he can really succeed in cheating in the palace test and under the nose of the dignified emperor, it is also a real skill.
But now it's better......
The way to cheating is blocked.
Everyone already knows that they are not prepared for a strategy, and they don't even have a chance to fool around and exchange their strategies for theories.
Is it really a dead end?
"I'm sure I'll be able to pass the exam, am I right?"
"Hahaha...... Brother Li, you heard it right, Fang Gongzi is the top of the double list of the court exam, if he can't pass the literary test of a palace exam, doesn't that mean that his top of the double list is fake?"
"That's right, I was abrupt, and I apologized to Fang Gongzi for this!"
"In my opinion, Fang Gongzi is only eight buckets high, I think it is a temporary writing strategy, and it is also beyond our reach, are you right?"
"yes, that's it!hahaha......"
After hearing Fang Zhengzhi say that he would definitely be able to pass the literary exam, all the talented people couldn't help laughing anymore, and their expressions were full of ridicule when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi.
"!" Fang Zhengzhi directly gestured to the talents around him, and then, his eyes also looked at Yan Xiu, meaning to hurry up and tell me about what happened in the court recently.
Yan Xiu immediately understood, thought carefully for a moment, looked around again, and finally said a word.
"Work!"
"Got it. Fang Zheng nodded straightly.
Although he didn't care too much about the situation in the past two years, he probably knew that there had not been too many wars in the Great Xia Dynasty in the past two years.
And although the demons have made some small moves over the years, after all, the affairs of the demons have lasted for thousands of years, and it is not something that can be solved by a single policy.
This policy, then, has nothing to do with war.
The six ministries also represent national policies.
If there is no war, it is naturally not the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of Officials, who are in charge of the official positions in the world, generally do not appear in the policy discussions, and the Ministry of Household is in charge of money and grain, since there is no war, there will not be much problem with money and food.
The rest is punishment, ritual, and work.
In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and now is not troubled times, and the criminal department can be abandoned.
In the end, the rest of the work and ceremony, as long as you know a little bit about it, you will guess the Ministry of Works.
In recent years, there have been occasional droughts in the Great Xia Dynasty, which Beishan Village and Nanshan Village have deeply felt.
In the past few years, only Beishan Village is slightly wealthier, like Nanshan Village, as well as those villages in Dongxihe Village, are miserable.
Although Yan Xiu only said the word "work", he almost gave Fang Zhengzhi a question.
When the other talents heard Yan Xiu's words, they were all stunned for a moment, and they wanted to say something, but they still didn't find anything to say after all.
After all, a word is really nothing.
"Even if you know it's related to work, what can you do?"
"That's right, just knowing that the questions are not prepared, it is still impossible to pass the essay exam!"
"The palace exam is not so simple, nearly two hundred candidates participated, only the top ten, I don't believe that he can really write any earth-shattering strategies in such a short period of time!"
After the talents finished speaking, they also left one after another, and no longer gathered around Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, but from time to time they still looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, afraid that Yan Xiu would tell Fang Zhengzhi about his strategy in private.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't pay attention to the talents around him, but began to concentrate on where to start this policy on work.
Think about it, think about it......
He finally found out the problem, in particular, I am completely unfamiliar with the history and geography of the Great Xia Dynasty?!(To be continued.) )
