Gui Cao, the actual creator of a whip method, was equally unlucky with Jin Wei, and he would be among the best in the trial, and he was thrown into the third list after the palace test.

Jin Wei is an article written in a space hole, and Gui Cao is an article written in too detail.

Wang Yuan talked about many issues such as horse administration, salt administration, tea administration, field administration, taxation, household registration, etc., but due to the limited space, it was difficult to discuss each issue in depth.

Gui Cao's article is dedicated to Tian Zheng and taxation, and he believes that the reason why the displaced people are everywhere and the rebellion is everywhere is because the Tian Zheng is collapsing day by day, and the tax system cannot keep up with the development of the times. What kind of land is cleared, and the tax in kind is collected in silver, anyway, there is a lot of nonsense, and it is very reasonable.

The problem is that whether it is Wang Yuan or Gui Cao, the ideas they are talking about have been put forward by many ministers since the Hongzhi Dynasty, and they are nothing new at all—except for the apportionment into the mu.

How to write an essay for the temple exam?

There are two ways.

One is to put forward practical guidelines, such as the "Pingrong Policy" by Huang Guan, the champion of the Hongwu Dynasty, which can be summed up in a few sentences: "The barbarians in the north are very bad, and it is useless to rely on education alone, and the labor expedition cannot be eradicated at one time." It is necessary to garrison troops on the frontiers, plough and fight at the same time, and act as a battalion step by step. "There are no practical details, just the guidelines that need to be put forward, and what to do is left to the specific executors.

One is Yang Shen's kind of pattern article, which is detailed in the classics, broad and modern, follows the avenue, abides by the etiquette system, and governs by the arch, which is catchy to read and looks full of flowers. After a careful taste, it means that he didn't say anything, the actual questions were all avoided, and it must be admitted that he wrote it correctly.

If it weren't for Wang Yuan's top three exams, the examiner didn't want to lose face as the examiner, he would definitely be thrown into the third list like Gui Cao.

Ministry of Rites.

Grace Banquet, that is, Qionglin Banquet.

Gui Cao was brought to his seat by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and sat down with a depressed face, dejected and unwilling to talk to anyone.

At this moment, about dozens of new science and technology jinshi suddenly stood up and hugged their fists to congratulate, but it was Wang Yuan, Jin Wei and He Bangxian who came together.

Wang Yuan was led to the champion seat since he was taken, and Jin Wei was about ten places behind Gui Cao.

He Bangxian is even more powerful, he will try to count fourth from the bottom, and the palace test will be from the bottom to the twenty-first, anyway, no matter how the countdown is a jinshi.

No matter how good the test was, Ma Xinglu, who would try sixth, Wu Hui, who would try eleventh, and Zhu Yin, who would take the sixteenth, were all listed as three Jinshi now.

By the way, the fourth in the second class is named Ma Yinglong, and when he passed the roll call, Wang Yuan recalled the unbearable past.

When Tanhua Yuben appeared, many Jinshi also left the table to greet him, and Wang Yuan also got up and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Zihua, it's polite." ”

"Brother Ruoxu, congratulations!" Yu Ben said with a smile.

Wang Yuan also smiled: "Rejoice and rejoice." ”

If you say who has the most no opinion on Wang Yuan as the champion, it is undoubtedly Yu Ben.

This gentleman scored nearly 200 in the exam, and he was able to rank in the first rank, and he was already overjoyed, and it had nothing to do with him if he was the champion.

Yu Ben's palace examination article is similar to Yang Shen's writing. And his personality is more similar to Jin Wei, he is the type who immerses himself in research, does not get very involved in practice, and is easy to offend people.

In history, this guy was demoted twice, both because of nonsense. Once there was a fire in the palace, and the ministers should state current affairs, Yu Ben told a bunch of truths and was thrown to Guangdong as a deputy envoy; During his tenure in Guangdong, he impeached Mao Feng for corruption and perversion of the law, and Mao Feng framed him backhandedly, and the two were dismissed at the same time.

Interestingly, after Jiajing ascended to the throne, the unsociable Yu Ben and Jin Wei were all promoted as opponents of Yang Tinghe.

Before the banquet began, the two sat close together, and Yu Ben praised: "If Brother Xu's meeting tries Cheng Mo, I am fortunate to have a glimpse, and the first article is breathtaking!" ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "Will try Cheng Mo has already been published?" ”

Cheng Mo is the candidate's model text, and the township test and the meeting test must be sorted out and printed, but it is absolutely impossible to be so fast.

Yu Ben smiled: "What I saw was a hand-copied scroll. ”

Wang Yuan thought about it seriously, and would try the first question of the four books, which seemed to be "If you are like a learner, Taoism is also; Those who are like grinding are self-studying". His article was written normally, and the only light was to pull the "Qi Ming Shengfu" in "The Mean" into it, so that the discourse of "University" and "The Mean" was unified.

This kind of corroborating way of exposition, Zhu Xi did not talk about it in the chapter, nor did Shen Fuxuan talk about it, it was Wang Yangming who usually talked about it when he was teaching.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "But Qi Ming is in full swing? ”

"That's right," Yu Ben said with emotion, "When I studied "University" and "The Mean", I was only moved by these two places, and I really didn't think that the two ways could go the same way!" ”

Wang Yuan said: "This is what my teacher said. ”

"I don't know if Brother Ruoxu's karma teacher, which great sage is it?" Yu Ben asked.

Wang Yuan already knew that Wang Yangming was the same examiner, he hesitated, and found that there was nothing to hide, so he said: "It is one of the same examiners in the "Book of Rites" this time, Wang Shou Rengong. ”

"It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of Yangmingzi, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Yu Ben is a native of Ningbo Mansion, Zhejiang, next to Shaoxing Mansion, where Wang Yangming is located.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I worship under Mr., thanks to the eunuch Liu Jin." ”

Yu Ben was interested: "What do you say?" ”

Wang Yuan explained: "I was originally a child of a peasant family in Guizhou, and I have been farming for generations, and I can't even afford to study privately. When he was ten years old, he met Meng Shi, who was a talent in Shaoxing Mansion, and later donated a petty official, but he was implicated because Shangguan offended Liu Jin, and encountered thieves on the way to exile Yunnan. My father rescued my teacher home, and I began to read and write. ”

"Brother Xuxu is only literate at the age of ten?" Yu Ben was shocked.

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "That's true." As for the mentor Shouren Gong, because of the anger of Liu Jin to belittle Guizhou, living in the barren mountains and mountains, while farming and teaching, I was fortunate to worship the teacher. ”

Yu Ben suddenly realized and praised: "This should be a good story!" ”

Isn't that a good story?

Too positive, too determined!

A peasant boy who has no money to study, follows Xiucai, who was framed and exiled, to read and write. I also met the great Confucian of the dynasty who was demoted, and this great Confucian was so miserable that he lived in a cave, and he did not forget to promote education after such hardship, giving poor children a real chance to go to school.

Now, the Great Confucian has rehabilitated Zhaoxue and has been promoted. And that peasant boy was also a young man and became the champion appointed by the emperor.

It's just time to write an article to hype it up, so that all the soldiers in the world know about it.

Yu Ben suddenly came back to his senses: "Brother Ruoxu is expensive this year? ”

"Sixteen." Wang Yuan said.

Yu Ben was dumbfounded and said in disbelief: "If Brother Xuxu has only studied for six years, he is a real prodigy!" ”

"It's just a fluke." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

While the two were talking, Yang Shen finally came, and all the Jinshi stood up to congratulate.

And today's grace banquet host, on behalf of the emperor to express condolences to the new science and technology scholar Fei Hong, also arrived, and the audience got up to pay respects.

In addition, the examiners and deacons of the temple examination were all present at the banquet at this moment.

Only Li Dongyang didn't arrive, and the old gentleman had an anal fistula, and he was in pain for the past two days.

The thirteen examiners tried their best to belittle Wang Yuan that night, but now they are smiling, and they are also gentle and amiable to Wang Yuan.

The new champion, hand-picked by the emperor, who dares to show dissatisfaction? Anyone who says a strange thing openly is disrespectful to the emperor and is suspected of suppressing backwards.

Fei Hong announced the opening of the Grace Banquet, and immediately some officials brought card flowers to reward the examiners, deacons and Jinke Jinshi on behalf of the emperor.

The card is a waist card, the flower is the palace flower, and the hairpin flower is the hairpin.

The others are all small silk plaques, embroidered with the words "Grace Banquet". Only Wang Yuan, as the champion, received a gold and silver medal, and the words were also engraved.

The palace flowers are also different, other Jinshi wear green leaf velvet flowers, and only Wang Yuan wears green feather silver flowers.

The Enrong banquet did not last long, and after casually talking and eating some wine and food, they went to Honglu Temple collectively to learn various etiquettes of the previous dynasty.

At the end of the banquet, Yang Yiqing passed by Wang Yuan's side and said earnestly: "Champion Lang, ten years of cold window, it is not easy, and you can't be with people who are fortunate to enter." If there is an opportunity, it is better to be an official. ”

Wang Yuan didn't know what he meant, but he still arched his hand and said, "Thank you Tsukasa for mentioning it." ”

The next day, Wang Yuan received a set of crown and belt court clothes. As for the other jinshi, they continued to wear the jinshi uniform on the day of the mission. After the court gave the emperor thanks, he had to return the clothes to the national eunuch.

Of course, Daming waste paper is indispensable...... Amount, it is a Ming treasure banknote, and each Jinshi is given a big lump.

(Today is Lao Wang's birthday, don't talk about anything else.) ）
