As soon as these words came out, everyone began to bow their heads and chanted, and after a while, they shook their heads, to say that in addition to reciting the Four Books and Five Classics, these people usually play what poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, mathematics, astronomy, calendar, military, surveying, agriculture and water conservancy are not at all knowledgeable, and they know nothing about moving, not to mention physics, chemistry and other difficult sciences, where do they understand?

After about half a sentence of incense, no one stepped forward, Yang Zheng smiled and glanced around, and saw that except for Zeng Heling, Xing Kuan and others, who were still thinking hard, the rest of the people had already given up, and even shook their heads.

"If I don't give you some fierce information, I still think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and what about the champion Lang, this can only prove that your Bagu essay is well written, and it is not that your talent is superior to others! In fact, in the history of China's imperial examinations, millions of people and more than 100,000 scholars have emerged, and the "champion" Lang, who is the pinnacle of this huge group of intellectuals, is only a handful. According to research, starting from Sun Fujia (a native of Dezhou, Shandong), the first champion of the imperial examination in the fifth year of Gaozu Wude of the Tang Dynasty, to Liu Chunlin, the last champion of the 30th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, in this 1,283 years, the number of scientific examinations was 745 lists, and a total of 592 champions were produced. In ancient Chinese society, from the common people to the officials and dignitaries, all firmly believed: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a thousand Zhongsu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book." "The direct utilitarian purpose of reading is to get into the office. Since the beginning of Confucius, "learning and excellence is a master" has become the eternal road of struggle for intellectuals. Therefore, I have been studying hard for decades, in order to be named in the gold list, in order to enter the official with literature, and in order to become a eunuch and glorify my ancestors. The champion and the first are not only the lifelong pursuit of the world's scholars, but also have the great honor of "being held out in the first round in the sky, and all the surnames in the world look up" in the minds of the people. Once the first place in the palace examination, he will be appointed to his official position by the official examination, or the Hanlin Academy, or the writer, the secretary, or the history of the country, or the servant of the Son of Heaven, and since then he has entered the dangerous and unpredictable career, and began the long life of ups and downs of the sea of honor and disgrace. A considerable number of them, in their old age, have finally ascended to prominent high positions. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there were 147 champions whose names could be examined, and 29 people whose deeds could be examined, including five prime ministers and eight officials at the level of Shangshu, which was not good, and the quality of Confucius's teaching was not much better. A large number of people have achieved nothing after high school. They have strange personalities, drinking habits, poverty, and miserable twilight years.

For example, Lu Wenhuan, the champion of Zhaozong Guanghua in the Tang Dynasty, was extremely poor and couldn't even afford to drink a meal, which was pitiful enough. There are also many champions, who have served as officials for one term, have no political achievements, and have been mediocre for life. What's more, he surrendered to the rebels, framed and flattered, and was called a "treacherous villain" by the history books. Such as surrendering the Jin soldiers and aiding the Northern Song Dynasty champion Mo Yan. These champions have no way to enter history, and it is difficult to leave a clear name, and they can be called the unscrupulous scum among the champions. In the champion scientific examination, sometimes it is not all based on real talent, and some people rely on relationships or accidental reasons to become the champion in high school. In the Tang Dynasty, there were "wishing champions" Niu Xishu, "self-recommended champions" Yin Shu, "sumo champions" Wang Sizong, etc., from their nicknames can be seen as people. The champion Pei Siqian was even worse, Tang Wenzong was opened in the second year, and Gao Kai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, knew the tribute and presided over the imperial examination. He proclaimed impartiality and declared that he would not ask for help. Pei Siqian, relying on his relationship with Qiu Shiliang, a lieutenant of the famous eunuch Zuo Shencejun, asked Gao Kai to make him the champion. At that time, Emperor Wenzong was a puppet, and Qiu Shiliang's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, Pei Siqian carried Qiu Shiliang's letter and openly said to Gao Kai: "Pei Xiucai is not the champion." Gao Kai pondered for a long time, knowing that he was powerless to resist, otherwise a catastrophe would come soon, so he had no choice but to record Pei Siqian as the champion. When the world is in turmoil and the imperial power is falling, the seemingly fair scientific expedition is often difficult to get rid of the constraints of the eunuchs and important ministers, and becomes the puppet of the palace government, which cannot but be said to be the sorrow of the champion of the scientific examination. Of course, there are also many people who have real talents and real learning, such as Lu Mengzheng, the champion of the second year of the Taiping rejuvenation of Song Taizong, who was kicked out of the house by his father when he was young, and lived in Longmen Mountain with his mother, living in the mountain grottoes. The Yuan Dynasty miscellaneous drama master Guan Hanqing's "The Story of Lü Mengzheng's Wind and Snow Breaking the Kiln" is a drama created based on Lü Mengzheng's poor life. Lonely, poor and shabby, Lu Mengzheng, relying on his natural talent and hard work, became a leader in the world at the age of 31 and became the prime minister at the age of 42. It has become an auxiliary of the two dynasties and is admired by everyone. In all dynasties, there are champions like Lu Mengzheng. They became the lucky ones who got ahead on the road to the imperial examination for the common people, but when it comes to deeds, it is rare to see them, that is, there are very few people with high achievements in literature and art, and few people have stepped into the ranks of everyone. As champions, they are all-encompassing in poetry and writing, and they often have poems and books handed down, and some even have books. However, since high school, the vast majority of them have devoted themselves to their careers, have no intention of writing, are keen on officialdom, focus on the gains and losses of wealth and wealth, and have no intention or ability to persistently explore literature and art. Among the more than 700 champions, except for Yang Shen, Liu Gongquan and a few others who have achieved high achievements, most of them have mediocre literary achievements and are difficult to pass on for thousands of years. It is difficult for the champion to be among everyone, and it is difficult for everyone to be the champion in high school. Among the two hundred and sixty-five champions of the Tang and Song dynasties, Su Shi and other eight masters, Li Bai, Du Fu and other great poets, no one picked up the champion and hung the crown, which has to be said to be a peculiar phenomenon in the Chinese imperial examination, which makes people puzzled, but in Yang Zheng's view, in fact, this is not difficult to understand, the champion as the first person in the world's imperial examination, once standing in this high position, not only feel that they are great, but the world also thinks they are amazing, there is no lack of praise for them, the court is also to give them high-ranking officials, it can be said that after winning the champion, they are intoxicated with themselves, the four of them take care of themselves, the court takes care of them, and over time they are like Zhongyong, the young prodigy is reduced to an ordinary person because his father does not let him study and be used as a money-making tool by his fatherToday, Yang Zheng is going to take the opportunity to crack down on these pride of the sky, so that they can understand that a champion, a Jishi is really nothing great, you just read a few more books than others, and wrote a praised eight-strand text, if you increase the learning of the day after tomorrow, you will eventually achieve something great. After thinking about it again, I didn't see anyone answering, Zeng Heling and Xing Kuan also frowned, thinking hard.

"But how did someone do it?" Yang Zheng said with a smile, his expression fell on Zeng Heling's eyes, full of contempt, but he still couldn't figure out this topic, gritted his teeth and said: "I can't do this topic, Lord Yang may not be able to do it, right?"

Yang Zheng sneered and said, "Lord Zeng's words are different, this topic can come out, and he can make it, but if Lord Zeng can't do it, maybe others can't do it?"

"Hmph, let you chant poems all day long, let you play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, Lao Tzu today is to let you have a long insight, in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, there are astronomy, calendars, physics, chemistry, and nature, so that you don't think you have made a champion, you think that Lao Tzu is the first in the world!" Yang Zheng snorted coldly, and muttered.

After waiting for a while, no one answered, Yang Zheng knew that no one could make this classic physics problem, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this is the pride of the sky that the Ming Dynasty has cultivated for decades, but it is just a group of scholars who can only chant poems and write on the attached elegance, such a talent is not enough in the prosperous era, if in the last days, rely on them to save the country, I am afraid that it will be lost!"

"But someone has come up with it?" Yang Zheng asked again.

Everyone was silent, and many of them lowered their heads with blushing faces, not daring to look at him.

Zeng Heling also shook his head, he was a champion, he always thought that he was a talented and excellent learner, and there were few problems that could stump him, but he didn't want to, a little-known yellow-haired boy, but he casually made a test question, he was a dignified champion, but he couldn't even touch the way to trick himself, and he was afraid that this poetry book would be read in vain.

"Doesn't anyone come up with it?" Yang Zheng asked again, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and said in his heart: "It's a little shameful, it's not too bad!"

"Lord Zeng, since Lord Xing has no one answered, what the two of you said just now will count?" Yang Zheng stared at the two of them.

Xing Kuan said: "Slow and slow, Lord Yang and Rong, I will think about it later?"

Yang Zheng was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, then I'll wait for half a pillar of incense?"

Xing Kuan nodded and said, "That's very good!" After saying this, he didn't say anything more, lowered his head and pondered.

Yang Zheng saw that his forehead was wrinkled one by one, and even had a lot of sweat, so he knew that the other party was really thinking about the problem, but since the Sui and Tang imperial examinations, all the scholars in the world have been based on poetry and songs, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and natural science has never been touched at all, and it is understandable that this kind of physics topic will not be done, but Yang Zheng is aiming to teach them a lesson, so he is not sympathetic, the kung fu of the half-pillar incense passed quickly, and the beads of sweat on Xing Kuan's forehead fell drop by drop, and the two sword eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character, but he did not come up with an answer。
