It is easy to choose this scripture for high pragmatism. The meaning of this sutra is that in addition to the four books, one subject is "elected" from the five classics, and the other books of the five classics are not examined when examined, but only this scripture.

This year's Henan Township Test, regardless of the other rooms, only the high and pragmatic Benjing Yi this room, a total of four questions, respectively, the gentleman to know more about the preface to act, to the animal its virtue, said and Xunfu is the state also, the vast with heaven and earth, the great treasure of the saint said, how to keep the position said benevolence, why to gather people to say wealth, financial management is to prohibit the people for non-righteousness, this is the first day of the test of the seven articles.

In the second scene, there is a discussion on the rule of the holy king. There is also an edict to give the world half of the land rent this year, the second year of Emperor Wen, the proposed Tang Jiafang Xuanling Prince and Young Master Zhenguan for thirteen years, and the proposed auxiliary minister to write the Su Zhen Cheng Jin table, which is a topic. True/False Question 5: Officials who have served for a limited period of time, who have been relieved of gold and silver, who are privately servants, who carry sedan chairs, who have violated fatwa orders by their descendants, and who have repaired bridges and roads.

Then the third one is a question and a question. The first question is that Yi is a book of respect and humility, Mingliang, and the ministers met, and they were covered for a thousand years

Second, there are many people who ask the ancient heavens, and there are three of them who are the most talented

The third question is the way of governing the scriptures

Fourth, the river has been suffering for a long time

Fifth, it is inevitable that the holy world will come

The Henan exam is not stricter than that of Jiangnan, and this question is also optional, and Gao Pragmatic directly chose the question of the Yellow River. This question is what Gao Pragmatic feels is most closely related to Henan, and it just so happens that he has been worried about the disaster in Henan in recent years, so he chose to do it.

Originally, the original intention of the three examinations was to first use the scriptures to explain the subtle words of the sages, to observe their mental skills, and then to use strategies to observe their knowledge of ancient and modern things, so as to examine their talents, and then try to express and judge, and to examine their ability to do things. The three are mutually reinforcing and should be treated equally.

However, until now, in fact, only the seven and eight strands of the first scene are emphasized, and the current texts are only artistic, plus some unspoken rules, such as only the second and third articles, so they are gradually biased. But this is not something that Gao Pragmatic can change now, he just finished the test silently.

In the next few days, Gao Pragmatic lived comfortably, he neither went to visit the officials from all walks of life in Kaifeng, nor did he participate in any celebrity gatherings, but just waited quietly until the day of the release of the list.

There is no need to wait for a long time on the day of the list, because the list is mostly in Yin, Chenri Branch, Chen is the dragon, Yin is the tiger, this is the meaning of the dragon and tiger list, and this is the time when the osmanthus is in full bloom, so it is also commonly known as the township list as the laurel list.

The list of Henan Township Examination is very interesting, the top five are not listed first, and the winners of the latter are announced according to the normal ranking. Gao pragmatic learned to be obedient this time, and brought eight family members with him, surrounded him in the middle, and stood in a good position.

But until the roll call was finished, Gao Pragmatic didn't hear his name.

The family members around him were a little anxious, and Gao Ming, who still personally went out to accompany him to the exam, saw that Gao was pragmatic and sweaty on his forehead, and comforted him, "Don't worry, the eldest young master, with the ability of the eldest young master, he must have entered the Five Classics." ”

The four books of the township examination are tested, so there is nothing good to score here, but the candidates have this scripture, so they are divided into rooms according to the five classics, and each scripture should be taken as one, and the top five are composed of these five, which is the so-called five classics, which is also the will of the Song Dynasty.

And the chief examiner will choose one person among the five classics and then take it, which is the first place in the province, that is, Xie Yuan, and the deputy examiner will also take one person, which is the second place in the province, that is, Yayuan.

At this time, Qiu Laohu still had some residual power, Gao Pragmatic stood still and listened to the roll call for a long time, and his spirit was a little trance, and the Five Classics Kui was recited backwards from the fifth place, and it was not until the second place Yayuan that Gao Pragmatic came to his senses.

Maybe it was when he arrived in Yayuan, the scribe who was in the roll call was also in good spirits, raised his voice, and almost shouted out "Jimao Henan Township Test Second Place, Yayuan Ruyang County Zhang Zili"

The onlookers and idlers hurriedly looked around, and Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but look around, but unexpectedly, not far from him, Gao Ming and others, a person raised his hand high, and shouted, "It's me, I'm Zhang Zili, the student of Ruyang County."

Gao Shi followed the prestige, but saw a middle-aged scribe in his early forties with a happy face, and he forced his thin body to squeeze everyone forward to look at the list.

Everyone looked at the clothes on his body when he was not old, but they couldn't help laughing, but there was less ridicule and more envy, and some idlers shouted, "This show has won the Yayuan master, and it is time to change the brocade clothes tomorrow."

Someone shouted, "Even brocade, it can't be a lake, and you don't have to wait until tomorrow, I don't know how many people are lining up to send money and land to him."

Gao Pragmatic took a deep breath, he was also a little nervous, the rest of the rooms have already come out, just this room, if he is not this room, then he will be off the list

Gao Jue looked more nervous than Gao Pragmatic, one hand tightly grasped the belt, and the other hand pushed out the people who were squeezing towards Gao Pragmatic, and said in his mouth, "Don't worry, young master, it must be Xie Yuan, it must be Xie Yuan, it must be Xie Yuan, it must be"

Gao pragmatic said angrily, "I wasn't nervous, but I was nervous when you talked about it."

But before Gao Jue could answer, the scribe on the roll call had already unveiled the list, and shouted in his mouth, "Jimao Henan Township First Place, Xie Yuan Xinzheng County Gao Pragmatic"

Gao Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his feet were a little weak, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, which was really a situation that he didn't have when he was captured by Cao Gan, who was still the "Bald Heavenly King".

Gao Jue saw Gao Pragmatic's figure shake for a while, and thought that he was suffering from some heat stroke, so he hurriedly held it up, and at the same time raised Gao Pragmatic's right arm, and helped him agree loudly, "Xinzheng County Gao Pragmatic is here", and then hurriedly turned his head and whispered to Gao Pragmatic, "The eldest young master, don't blame the little abruptness, this voice should be promised louder as usual." ”

Of course, Gao Pragmatic knew that the reason for Gao Heng's plea was not to help him answer the question, but to call him by his name, but Gao Pragmatic was not very concerned about these, shook his head slightly, and said, "Since you have finished reading the list, go back early, as a rule, there will be a deer banquet tomorrow, and I will wait for the new imperial examination to pay homage to the seat master and the house master, this matter is not sloppy." ”

The surrounding onlookers and idlers had already begun to coax, and Gao Pragmatic had recovered at this time, and frequently expressed his gratitude to the surroundings.

However, although it is a good thing to solve the yuan in high school, there is a problem with this year's Henan Xie Yuan, which makes him feel a little tricky.

Because the chief examiner of this year's Henan Township Examination is Yu Shenxing, a disciple of Jinshi in the second year of Longqing and Zhang Juzheng, who is quite important.
