Chapter 279: The Palace Examination

Three days later, a group of unkempt people came out of the Gongyuan.

Zhang Qi received his little master: "Young master, how is it?" ”

Su You picked at his itchy scalp: "I'm telling you that I'm too guilty, I can't take a bath with instant noodles and self-heating rice every day......"

Then I heard someone talking behind me: "Brother Shi, this performance should be good, right?" ”

He listened behind him and said, "Don't talk about it...... Last time, I went to the smell of the toilet bowl next to it, and I smelled the smell for three days, what else can I write? This year's big competition, before coming to the Great Xiangguo Temple to incense, the Bodhisattva dreamed that it would definitely give me a good position with a fragrant breath. ”

Another asked, "But it worked?" ”

"Spirit! The straight lady thief is too smart! Not to mention the location, I don't know if the one next door who took the exam is a chef, and the thief sees the delicious food and taste...... Goodo...... I was so hungry that I was so hungry that my mind was full of meat dishes during the exam......"

Then I heard a sad and angry roar: "I have the ability to cook in the tribute courtyard!" You have the ability to stand up for my uncle! Don't let me know who you are! ”

Su You's neck shrunk and pulled Zhang Qi's sleeve: "Let's go, let's go back and talk about ......"

……

The marking paper came down quickly, and on February 24, the edict was issued three times, announcing the officials of the knowledge system, detailing, and examination, and went to the academy to lock the courtyard, ordered the imperial policy questions, and then announced that they would go to the palace and choose the day to take the palace examination.

On February 27, the scholars entered the Donghua Gate, and each line searched to see if there was any embroidered private text in the body, and then put it in.

All of them are gathered in the Ying Palace.

Living is to greet the emperor and salute, the distance is far away, and no one dares to look at it if it is not clear to see.

After that, he sat in the palace, led the test, sat down according to the map, and gave the printing and publication of the topic.

The exam lasts only one day, and only the study room and papers are allowed, and the rest are not allowed to bring anthologies.

Su oil became an honorable member of it.

It is rumored that Wang Jue once put Su You's theory as the first, the strategy third, and the poem second.

When he opened the seal, he shook his head, and he was deposed to the eleventh place.

In fact, this has no impact on Su You's qualifications as a jinshi, because since Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao were deposed by the palace examination and defected to Western Xia, from the second year of Jiayou, the scholars who participated in the palace examination have theoretically been selected.

But the palace examination is indeed extremely important, and the ranking of the palace examination directly determines the origin.

Jinshi is divided into five grades, the first three people, that is, the champion and the two lists, and the lowest initial officials are the secretary of the provincial school Shulang and the county.

If you are lucky, if you encounter a vacancy in a higher position, there are many people who will be appointed as prisoners and sent by the states.

The first place in the second class and the fourth place in the overall score are called Chuanyu, and the seventh place in the second class and the tenth place in the overall score can be awarded two envoys and become the Beijing official sequence.

The above ten people are called A family.

After the tenth place in the second class and the end of the fifth class, it is called the second department, and the initial award is different from the subsequent transfer, such as Su Shi and Su Zhe, who have to be awarded the kind of county master book, which is only equivalent to the director of the county office.

There is also a division, the first and second class are given to the Jinshi and the first, the third and fourth are given to the Jinshi origin, and the fifth is given to the same Jinshi origin. This is an honor given by the emperor.

This is Da Song, if you don't make it complicated and complicated, it will make people dizzy and uncomfortable.

The number is arranged according to the dictionary of "Jade Chapter", and Su You draws the word "Wang". Oily, good sign.

Open the test paper, there are a total of three questions: "The King Passes the Heaven and the Earth and the Man", "Tiande Qingming Poem", "Water is More Than the Tao".

For those who are already sitting here, it is easy to do these few questions alone, but how to excel is a problem.

The first question is the king of heaven and earth, and there is a note in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi":

Dong Zhongshu's Spring and Autumn Dew? Wang Daotong Three Articles": "The ancient writer of the text, three paintings and one of them, is called the king." The three painters, heaven and earth and man. And even those who are among them can also get their way. Take heaven and earth and people, think that it is coherent and connected, who can be a non-king? ”

Confucius said: "Always three are kings." ”

Analysis: The core idea - Wang holds the Tao and Bingzhong, and uses the three talents.

The second question, Tiande Qingming, comes from "Song of Zhou? Qing Temple.

"Poems" has four beginnings. Historical Records? Confucius Family" mentions: "The rebellion of Guan Ju is thought to be the beginning of "Wind"; Lu Ming, starting from "Xiao Ya"; King Wen, for the beginning of "Daya"; Qing Temple, for the beginning of the "Song". ”

About Song of Zhou? Qing Temple", justice has the following explanation:

"The residence of the king of this interpretation is the palace of those who worship the virtue of Qingming, so it is called the Qing Temple.

The person who sacrifices here is the god of King Wen, so there is a clear virtue, Tiande is clear, and King Wen is like Yan.

"Yi" said that "the saint is in harmony with heaven and earth", and it is King Wen who can resemble the sky. ”

Knowing this, we know what the theme of this poem should be.

Analysis: Singing the praises of King Wen Qingming, his virtue can be comparable to that of the high heavens.

The most important thing is the sentence of "Yi" - "The saint is in harmony with heaven and earth".

Combined with the previous question - "The King Leads to Heaven and Earth", you will find that these are two topics that echo each other and are in the same vein.

found common ground, and also found the button buried by the questioner.

The third question, "Water is more than Taoism", is the play of the first two questions. Because it is a treatise, it is necessary to quote the original text - "The good is like water." Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. ”

This is a sentence from the Tao Te Ching. It seems a bit abrupt and has little to do with the first two questions.

In fact, this question has to be solved backwards - King Wen is more than the Tao, if water, the evil of everyone, the benefit of all things without fighting, so it is good.

This also coincides with the meaning of the cycle of "Yi".

Su You estimated that most of the so many candidates in this Chongzheng Hall had to be planted in these two pits. The rest of those who can see through these points are their competitors.

This time, the detailed officials are Wang Anshi and Yang Ledao, and now it seems that Wang Anshi's will has been supported and reflected.

Wang Anshi's cultural level can also be seen in the tube.

Heaven and earth, people and water, King Wen is changing, the core is one word - change.

In connection with Wang Anshi's actions after taking office, how to write these articles is self-explanatory.

Lao Wang is secretly burying his own private goods.

Total Analysis:

Fu, to write the cause of the king, the way of the holy king;

Poems should praise King Wen and take him as a model for the holy king, an example of the king of heaven and earth;

In order to write about King Wen's thoughts on governing the country, it is necessary to combine historical facts and the present, extract the main arguments from the "Yi" and "Tao Te Ching", and quote and extend them.

Core idea – change, change, change.

As for how to deal with changes, Lao Wang doesn't dare to make a direct move now, so it's better to hide and answer on the ground.

So far, the three questions are connected, all in one go.

After reviewing the question, Su You took the scratch paper and thought about how to give it.

The idea is clear, and then it is simple, starting with the structure of the word Wang, pulling to the Qiangua in the Book of Changes, and then listing the three yangs respectively, discussing the characteristics and similarities of heaven, earth and man - Yi, that is, the three are constantly changing and moving.

Then it comes to the exquisiteness of the Zhou ritual sacrifice to the heavens and the earth, and finally discusses the methods, performances, and merits of the king's heaven, earth, and people.

Finally, he quoted that heaven, earth and humanity contain the law of change, and pointed out that if you grasp the essence of "Yi", you will naturally be handy.

The reason why the Holy King was able to respond to all changes with the same is that he has mastered the truth that it is not easy and that the good is like water. That is, the artifact he used to connect the heavens and the earth - the Tao. to echo the next question.

You can also secretly point out: Although Zhou is an old state, his life is renewed - give Lao Wang a sweet date, and no one can find fault.

However, the text seems to look at the mountains and does not like the flat, the meaning is clear, and it has to be skillfully perfunctory into words.

This is very important, and it has to make the examiner's eyes shine in order to have the possibility of high school.

After thinking for a long time, Su You took up the pen and wrote:

"The order of the sun and the moon in the sky, the principle of the mountains and rivers of the earth, people in it, don't lead the virtuous and foolish.

Observe the qi of yin and yang, recognize the opportunity of superiority and inferiority, and the tool of Xie Cong and stubbornness. The Tao is the only one, and the holy king is the ......"

Two sentences to kill the topic, and then sprinkle 5,000 words, many paragraphs have been repeatedly washed and tempered in the past two years, and now they are picking out those that can be used, connecting them together, and integrating them into one.

Today is in a very good state, the writing is extremely smooth, and the writing is the end in a blink of an eye.

“…… So Sui Wufang, set up four instruments, and Mingliu Yi. The good ministers are lined up and arched in the north, and the holy lord is shining in the sun. Chengtian celebrates luck, and worships the ancestors Lingxi. Yun Zhen Daoqing, Zhaoyan Zhaoqi. ”

At the end of an article, this is just a cursory, and the words still need to be pondered, but it is also a matter for later.

Next is to consider poetry.

The poems of the Tang and Song dynasties were made with five words and six rhymes, such as Qian Qi's "Provincial Test of Xiangling Guse" in the Tang Dynasty, which is a standard model article.

Good drum clouds and Se, often hear the emperor's spirit.

Feng Yikong danced to himself, and Chu Ke was unbearable.

The bitter tone is poignant, and the clear sound is in the dark.

Cangwu came to complain, and Bai Zhi moved Fangxin.

The flowing water spreads to Xiaopu, and the sad wind passes through the cave.

At the end of the song, no one is gone, and there are several peaks on the river.

The so-called five words are a sentence of five words; The so-called six rhymes are the six rhyme words at the end, taking this article as an example - spirit, listening, underworld, xin, court, and green.

Then except for the first and last two couplets, the rest must be opposed, and the content should be deducted, it's as simple as that.
