After the general's affairs are done, it is the turn of Wenxian Pavilion

Time was pressing, and on the second day, Yang Biao came to Wenxian Pavilion with a stack of test papers prepared, he didn't know what was written in it, but he only knew that when he took the stack of things from Liu Hong's hand, his face didn't seem to be very good. Looking at Lin Xu who was calmly drinking tea on the side, he knew that the stack of things in his hand might be very difficult to deal with, and someone would be unlucky.

Liu Hong's collection of many great Confucian topics is actually very popular, nothing more than poetry and songs, which is not interesting at all, for which Lin Xu expressed strong disdain and contempt.

This kind of question is meaningless, and it is impossible to test the true level of the test taker. Look at him Lin Xu's

The first question, suicide question: self-evaluation, requires you to write about your strengths and weaknesses, what you are good at, what you are not good at, what achievements you have or what deeds you have been widely praised. In short, it is to let the person who reads the paper know what kind of person you are.

And this kind of requirement is very difficult for the literati of the Han Dynasty to accept, they are very good at self-humility, but boasting is not good, they have always let others praise them, and they are constantly showing humility, so that others are respectful, this is a normal routine.

Lin Xu doesn't like this very much, it's okay to be humble, but it's very uncomfortable to be too humble, obviously a big guy, he has to pretend to be a salted fish to death, once others really use him as a salted fish, he immediately becomes an unknown person, humiliated, and then brushes his sleeves away, which makes people fall into a blinding infamy.

Moreover, in this era when communication is all about roaring, the so-called reputation is all by word of mouth, to be honest, this model is very easy to fake, well, if someone wants to be famous, just find a few actors can create a few touching famous scenes, for these ignorant people to enjoy, and then buy enough support to publicize, the effect is very good.

Although the moral level of people in this era is generally very high, there are always some scum garbage, and the error of word of mouth is too large, and it is really difficult to ensure accuracy.

So Lin Xu felt that this kind of atmosphere had to be stopped a little, modesty was a virtue after all, but excessive modesty made people very disgusting.

Although Liu Hong said that he was very unhappy with this, what Lin Xu said was very reasonable, knowing people and making good use of them, it was easy to say, but it was difficult to do, most of them relied on the recommendation of others to arrange appointments, and let me tell my strengths, which is indeed a lot more reliable.

So Liu Hong reluctantly agreed.

The second question, send a proposition: comment on His Majesty today!

When Liu Hong saw this question, he immediately glared angrily, in this era, don't talk about commenting on the emperor, even the affairs that are involved must be avoided, such as names. Such a blatant comment on the emperor is just a matter of praise, if you dare to speak disrespectfully, you will really be wiped out.

Lin Xu said: If Your Majesty has a mistake and no one points it out, it will only be a small mistake that will become a big mistake, and a big mistake will become a national disaster, and in the end it can only leave a stain on the history books. Now that His Majesty's prestige is getting stronger and stronger, no one dares to speak boldly, and the way of speech is closed, and in the long run, there will be a great disaster! Moreover, this is the way of the Ming monarch, and it will be praised by the world.

Liu Hong frowned for a long time after hearing this, he could disdain other people's words, and even beat them out with a stick, but Lin Xu's words and deeds were not to be underestimated. And what he said is not unreasonable, although some things that are not afraid of death may take the opportunity to criticize themselves and achieve the goal of becoming famous in the world, and they can't hurt him in the slightest like this situation, it's embarrassing to think about! But I have to say that this is indeed a holy move, of course, the reason why Liu Hong nodded is more important is that he is now the king of the holy and bright, even if people dare to slander themselves, he believes that more people will choose to praise.

The third question, the trap question, is about the immediate disaster of the Han Dynasty!

Liu Hong didn't have anything to do with this question, and even glanced at Lin Xu with a deep meaning when he saw this question, this question seems simple, and most of the scholars will choose to point the finger at the ten permanent servants! This is almost a certain thing, even if someone discovers the pit dug in this question, they have to jump down with their eyes closed, otherwise, they are likely to be detained as a stammer, a sycophant, and will be spurned by the majority of families.

In front of Liu Hong, in front of the world, insulting people, can the ten permanent servants endure it? Definitely not, since it can't, it must be opened! And this is what Lin Xu wants to see, in Lin Xu's opinion, the ten permanent servants and the family clan shrank up because of their arrival, this is not a good thing, the open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, maybe these old things are secretly rubbing what is bad, let go and say, these two parties belong to Lin Xu's enemies, the ten permanent servants will definitely be killed, otherwise Liu Hong's side is not easy to control, the family also has to be temporarily suppressed, until the time is ripe to clean it all out, the current Lin Xu's strength is actually very weak, must all pull Liu Hong's tiger skin to suppress the family.

As for the fourth and fifth questions, it is more normal, it is a very famous two in ancient times, one is the same cage of chickens and rabbits, now there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage, there are thirty heads, there are eighty-six feet below, ask the chickens and rabbits how much they are?

One is that the rats make holes, and now there is a wall five feet thick, and the two rats are piercing. Rats are one foot a day, and mice are also one foot a day. Rats are doubled daily, and mice are doubled daily. Q: When will we meet? How much do you wear?

Originally, Lin Xu had a bad taste and was ready to throw off two Olympiad questions, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was better not to bully the ancients, as soon as this kind of fatal question came out, he could ensure that every one of the entire Han people could do it, and even if he released the answer, no one could understand it, and some people even felt that he was deliberately embarrassed. This question is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, that is, it is only three hundred years in advance, and it is not a big problem to understand these two questions in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wenxian Pavilion

Thirty-six talented people sat in an independent pavilion, waiting for the legendary exam papers to arrive, so as to show their talents.

When I touched the first exam paper, it was a very good, very familiar topic, poetry and songs, the art of war, and the governance of one side, with a wave of my hand, long sleeves fluttering, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, and I wrote out the manuscript that I thought about repeatedly and polished in my heart.

Just as he confidently picked up the second scroll, many of the scholars wiped their eyes several times in a row, and after making sure that it was not their own dazzle, their faces were full of disbelief.

Even Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and others frowned wildly, and this self-evaluation is simply against their demeanor! Then I looked down, the more I looked, the more frightened I was, the cold sweat on my forehead flowed, the first question was at most a little whisper, and the last two questions may be related to my own life!

"Ladies and gentlemen"

Just when many talented people were frightened, the examiner Yang Biao spoke

"Your Majesty's special order, no matter what kind of remarks you make in this answer, you will be pardoned for his innocence!"

shouted three times in a row, and the restless scholars barely settled down, and even Yang Biao was in a cold sweat when he saw this exam question, although he had long guessed that this question from the Immortal was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless! Liu Hong is not a generous person, if he is provoked, now he is forced by the general trend, he will not take revenge, you can wait later, he will make a handle to destroy your clan in minutes, now it depends on how these boys' writing is, it is impossible to get a high score just by praising it, Liu Hong's flaws in the emperor must be said, the problem is, how to speak beautifully, not only to make him angry, but also to make him realize his mistakes.

And the third question, Yang Biao, who is very deep in the city, saw the doorway at a glance, but he couldn't stop it, and even had to encourage, and he had to praise these scholars, no matter how bitter Huang Lian was, he had to grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Clang~

A brass bell rang, representing that half an hour had passed, and there was still half a time left to answer the question.

When he finally solved the first three questions, the fourth question made the scholars' muscles burst out, their eyes began to be bloodshot, and they kept scratching their ears and cheeks.

"Lord Yang, what's the situation?"

Just when Yang Biao was concentrating on studying the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, Lin Xu suddenly stepped in

"Lady Immortal"

Yang Biao bowed to Lin Xu with a little respect, although he Yang Biao is in a high position and distinguished and prominent, he is still willing to give enough respect to talented people. He has been studying this topic for almost an hour, but he still has no clue, and since Lin Xu dares to come up with this problem, he naturally knows how to solve it, so he rushes to this, Lin Xu is worthy of his worship, and the master is a teacher.

"Lord Yang is polite"

Lin Xu returned the salute and said with a smile

"How did the scholars answer?"

Lin Xu's coming over on a cold day is not an idle egg, but running over to see the excitement and brush up on the sense of existence, anyway, there are definitely not many people who can figure out the last two questions, it's okay if there is no time limit, there may be some people who can figure it out.

But now, when he left the palace, Liu Hong's Confucian doctors were already preparing to catch rabbits and chickens. It doesn't matter if the scholars can't do it, if they can't do it, then they will be embarrassed and embarrassed, especially in front of Liu Hong, the emperor, and they will be embarrassed to call themselves their great Confucians in the future!

"Immortal can view"

Yang Biao smiled bitterly, the distance was far away, he couldn't see it, judging from the faces of these people he could see, it was definitely the kind that jumped and collapsed. If you don't do it well, your mood will be impacted in the future.

"In this case, Ben Qixian will go to inspect it, Lord Yang, please~"

walked down in a circle, and sure enough, as he expected, there were only two people who started writing the last two questions, and he didn't know either of them!

"Lord Yang, I see that all the talented people are not in good shape, why don't you rest for two quarters of an hour?"

Yang Biao's eyes narrowed when he heard this, Lin Xu didn't suppress his voice when he said this, if he didn't agree, I was afraid that the scholars would have some complaints, but if he agreed, it would be unfair, and whether he agreed or not, Lin Xu's favorability was settled.

"Since Lord Qi Xian has spoken, the official has allowed it, however, all the students are not allowed to leave their seats and are not allowed to talk."

"Okay, all the talented people of the Immortal Dynasty have thanked Lord Yang"

Lin Xu bowed his hand and said

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, calm down, take a deep breath, relax your mind, and think slowly about what is right. Remember: The trip of a husband and a gentleman is quiet to cultivate oneself and thrift to cultivate virtue. There is no ambition without indifference, and there is no far-reaching ambition without tranquility. ”

After everyone heard this, they all began to calm down according to Lin Xu's reminder, and then bowed to Qi Yaoyao, indicating that they were taught.
