In the blink of an eye, spring has begun, and new shoots have sprouted on the green trees.

Liu Zhou's case shocked Li Shimin for a long time.

In fact, this time, it was more of a vent of anger from Li Shimin.

He knows better than anyone that there are many people like Liu Zhou, although he is the Son of Heaven, he can find a Liu Zhou, but ...... How can I catch a hundred and a thousand Liu Zhou?

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of talent selection, and now he can completely understand that these ministers who have been elected by others, nine times out of ten, do not know anything about the people's suffering.

This undoubtedly made him look forward to the imperial examination a little more, but it was just ...... The only thing that raises doubts is ...... Can the ministers who came up from the imperial examination understand the suffering of the people?

Li Shimin is not completely convinced of this.

It's just that in his opinion, change is better than being a stagnant pool all the time.

In this test, everyone in the world has great expectations.

Once a person in high school, he is considered a real pillar of talent, and since then he has been an official in the court.

The lifters of all provinces have been in Chang'an for a full winter.

Many inns in Beijing have been inhabited by many people who have come to take the exam.

The people who can lift people are all the world's elites, so after these people arrived in Chang'an, many people soon came to visit, and some clans, once they saw which person was lifted, thought that this person was very promising, then they had to deal with it first.

Suddenly, Chang'an City's literary atmosphere also flourished, perhaps because of the influence of the imperial examination, there were many vassal and elegant people.

Exams are about to begin.

In the hall of Erpigou University, the teaching and research group conducted the last one-on-one mock test.

The so-called one-on-one means that after the gentlemen of the teaching and research group divide labor, they will gather people together for cross-examination, and after passing the examination, they will taste the articles and point out the possible mistakes, of course...... This kind of question...... It is based on the shortcomings of different candidates to prescribe the right medicine. Each candidate has his or her own weaknesses, and the department analyzes them? After the analysis, do you come up with the question? After the question is solved, it is corrected endlessly over and over again.

This way of playing? In fact, it is similar to the model of the Olympiad in later generations.

Those who can lift people in the examination are the top students in Erpigou, and these lifters are equivalent to being assigned to the Osai class for special training.

And in the past few months of assault training, even Deng Jian, who has always worked hard, feels a little unbearable? His mind was full of various exam papers, which were corrected over and over again, which made him a little prostrate.

Fortunately, the exam is about to start? The school decided to give them a day off, just this holiday? But they are not allowed to go out of the school, but they are only repaired in the school for a day.

On the day of the exam, dozens of the latest four-wheeled carriages stopped outside.

Deng Jian and the others got up early in the morning? Then we went to meet Chen Zhengtai together.

On such a special day? Chen Zhengtai also got up and waited a long time ago.

He accepted their salute and then stood up? He encouraged them, "Today is the test? Your Majesty attaches great importance to this? I hope you can play well. ”

Deng Jian and the others saluted respectfully: "Obey the teachings." ”

Chen Zhengtai immediately smiled: "If you become an official in the future, since you are my protégé and former official, you must obey the law?" Take the common people as their own responsibility. ”

Deng Jian and the others said: "Follow the teachings. ”

"Alright, let's go." Chen Zhengtai waved his hand.

Deng Jian and the others looked dignified, this ...... It's a chance to really change your life, if you succeed, you really become a pillar of the court, but if you fail, you need to fight again after three years.

Three-year ...... Three years later, there will be three years, but how many three years are there in life?

When they said goodbye to Chen Zhengtai, some people couldn't help but have red eyes.

Especially that Deng Jian, he felt a little trance, thinking that at the beginning, he was just a poor child, if he hadn't followed his father to escape the famine, he wouldn't have come to this Erpigou by chance.

For Deng Jian, although Erpigou is not his hometown, he has long regarded this place as his home.

Here, he settled down, he began to study, he went to school, he gradually began to emerge, and the ups and downs of life were spent here.

It is precisely because he has tasted the hardships of life that he cherishes his today, and he can have today, everything is given by his master.

This is both the grace of life and the grace of recreation, what can be compared to the grace of parenting?

Out of the school, he got on the four-wheeled carriage for the first time, and he was in the school on weekdays, although he also read the newspaper, and there were small advertisements about the four-wheeled carriage in the newspaper, Deng Jian...... I've only seen it, but now I ride it myself, but I think the seats here are too soft.

Yes, I am used to kneeling on weekdays, or sitting on hard objects, and suddenly sitting on something too soft is a little uncomfortable.

The crowd marched to the Gongyuan and lined up to enter.

This time, the examiner is still Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan is a well-known bachelor in the world, and has several experiences in the imperial examination, which can be described as experienced and experienced.

The candidates have entered the table, and there are more than 600 people in the world's ten provinces, and they are all proud, but when they see these people in the school, they all show a strange color.

Some people can't help but laugh, they are the name of Erpigou for a long time, but Erpigou's lifting people are different from other lifting people, they lock themselves in the school every day, the door does not go out, the second door does not step, never negotiate with people, although many people come to Chang'an for many days, but these lifting people of Erpigou, they are still the first time to see.

At first, everyone was a little curious about these Erpigou people, after all, it was like thunder, but now that they see it, they feel that it is actually difficult to live up to some fame.

Then they put away their minds and entered the examination booth.

Deng Jian is still the same, he is in a very calm mood, he has experienced this kind of exam countless times in his life.

He was calm and relaxed, until he held up the sign, Deng Jian looked up at the exam questions, and his face became relaxed.

Exams are a kind of torture for candidates.

But for the examiner, why not?

For example, Yu Shinan, last time he had a strange question, he himself was smug at first, thinking that this question was difficult, and he would definitely be able to stump the world's readers.

But who knows, that Erpigou University Hall is simply a high school in Wuyang, which made Yu Shinan very discouraged for a while, so this time, he decided to increase the difficulty.

As for today's exam questions...... It turned out to be 'the son sees the Nanzi'.

As soon as this question came out, the small sound of many people gasping was suddenly heard in the examination room.

Apparently...... People were stumped by this question.

This question is even more immoral than the last one.

Last time, it was just to dig a pit, and in this question, not only has the pit been dug for you, but even the soil for burying you has been prepared.

Zijian Nanzi actually comes from the beginning of a passage in "The Analects of Yongye".

On the surface, it's four words, but in fact...... But there is a hidden mystery for the ages.

This happened when Confucius came to defend the country during his travels around the world. The actual ruler of Wei Guo is Nanzi, the wife of Wei Linggong. Nanzi was charming and had a bad reputation, but she admired Confucius's ability and character, and when she knew that Confucius was coming, she respectfully invited Confucius to meet her. So there is the paragraph "Zi sees Nanzi".

And the most suspicious thing about the passage where Zizi sees Nanzi is Confucius's reaction, that is: Zizi sees Nanzi, and Zilu does not say (悅). Confucius said: "If you deny it, God will hate it!" God hates it! ”

The common understanding of this sentence is that after Confucius went to see Nanzi, his disciple Zilu was very unhappy, thinking that Nanzi was a prodigal woman and Confucius should not associate with her.

However, Confucius's answer was very strange, but he vigorously denied that he had any intimate behavior with Nanzi, and swore that if I did anything, God would hate me.

To put it bluntly, this is almost an ambiguous story in the Analects, which is obviously inconsistent with the image of Confucius, the most holy teacher.

Therefore, Confucian disciples, rarely mention this public case, you are all other people's disciples, you mention this matter, don't you want to smash the field?

After all, a man and a prodigal woman met in private, and after the man saw each other, he swore that he had done nothing, which is really reverie.

But Yu Shinan deliberately came up with this question...... The pit is here.

This kind of allusion to revealing people's scars, you use it to make a question, and you also ask people to write an article around Confucianism around such a broken thing, and the Qi family rules the country and the world, and it is also limited to two hours to make it, to be reasonable, and to pay attention to grammar.

As soon as the question came out, the other examiners saw this question, their eyes straightened, and then they looked at Yu Shinan with a strange look.

Yu Shinan felt the many eyes, and he still sat calmly, his hands slowly brushing his beard, looking comfortable.

Only he knows that there is actually an element of revenge in his heart, although it seems that the means are a little disgraceful, but this is the breath that needs to be released!

Come on, let the horses come this time.

…………

In the examination shed, Deng Jian read the questions, but he was stunned for a long time.

The examiners who patrolled the examination along the way passed by, and they recognized Deng Jian, the original Xie Yuan, and when they saw him with a stiff expression and dull eyes, they smiled in their hearts, and couldn't help thinking: It seems that the Xie Yuan of this Erpigou has also been stumped, and today's question, if you want to break it, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky.

It's just that the examiner doesn't know it...... The reason why Deng Jian was silent for a long time was not because he felt difficult, but because he ...... This question ...... He took the test.

Not only did I take the test, but I also took the test three times!

Speaking of which, when I took this question for the first time, everyone's test results were not satisfactory, because the question was so strange that everyone's brain couldn't turn around, so the result was naturally bad.

After that, the teaching and research team had to point out the problems over and over again according to their articles, and then it was a make-up examination, but the teaching and research team was still not satisfied, so it continued to criticize the mistakes and continued to make up the examination.

The reason why this question is taken is actually very simple, because this question ...... Difficult.

It's not hard to toss you.

Although everyone knows that it is almost impossible to take this question in the imperial examination, after all, this question is too biased, and whoever makes this question is lacking great virtue.

But the teaching and research group takes its difficulty, the teaching and research ancestors have their own set of theories, they don't care whether the imperial examination will produce this kind of question, they think that only the most difficult question in the world, other questions can be easily dealt with.

You've solved even the hardest part, what's the rest?

Deng Jian's face was sluggish......

The heart says that this can also be touched?

And now he is in a quandary.

As a matter of fact...... After three mock exams, he already has seven or eight solutions to this problem, but the problem now is ......

Which solution should be used to solve the question, which is more likely to be favored by the examiner?

Or not...... Let's take the sixth type, the sixth way to solve the problem, it seems that it is easier to meet the preferences of Master Yu.

Deng Jian shook his head, he regretted it in his heart, in fact, he wanted to use the eighth solution, which was a surprising winning method, but he thought about it, there might be some adventures.

If I don't know how to try, I'd really like to give it a try.

Alas, this question...... After all, it's too easy.

With a silent sigh, he picked up the pen and finished the draft in his heart very easily, all of which was actually completed in a very short time.

Then I quickly started writing.

In less than an hour, the article was finished.

Everything went smoothly.

Next, I read my article several times and found some mistakes.

But at this time......

Bang dang......

A sudden voice.

Deng Jian was taken aback, how could there be a ...... in this silent examination hall

But in an examination booth, a candidate smashed the inkstone out.

The examiners and scribes were also taken aback and hurriedly gathered around to take a look.

Then I heard the examinee cry out sadly: "What kind of examiner is this, Yu Shinan, you Haoshou horseman, a gray-haired old thief!" What kind of question do you have, I trekked through mountains and rivers, and it took months of hard work to get to Chang'an, in order to take the test today, I have studied hard for 20 years to have today. What kind of question do you have, how do you let people solve such questions? As a bachelor, you did this despicable method...... I'm sorry, I'm not going to take the test today, I'm not going to take the test, I'm going to kill or chop, listen to the respect. ”

He scolded angrily, as if his emotions had gotten out of control, not only smashed the inkstone, but also knocked down the case, looking ruthless, but fortunately, the scribes hurriedly held him down, so as not to cause too much impact. After the control was over, the busy dragged out.

This man was dragged on the one hand, and he was still unwilling to scold endlessly.

This scolding also spread to Minglun Hall.

All the examiners were pale, but they didn't dare to come out, and they all looked at Yu Shinan cautiously.

Yu Shinan still sat down-to-earth, still looking complacent.

Scold......

Scold it.

The more you scold, the more you look like an old man.

He raised his eyes and saw that all the examiners were frightened, but he only said lightly: "The old man just came up with such a not difficult question, and there are candidates like this, heh...... It's really an embroidered pillow, and it's unbearable. ”

All the examiners laughed dryly, looking in agreement.

But I couldn't help but say in my heart: Is this called difficult? I won't take this question either.
