The difference between humans and animals is that people know how to measure etiquette, and they know that some things are against conscience and morality, so they are not allowed to do it themselves.

To describe war, the most used words are moral degradation, treacherous silver plunder, murder and abuse and other adjectives, trying to highlight the brutality of the enemy, so inhumane, and unscrupulous to morality, because the war destroys the "etiquette", and the darkness of human nature breaks out.

The whole article of "The Book of Rites: Qu Lishang" teaches the world to learn etiquette, know etiquette, and observe etiquette! In the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, etiquette has been deeply integrated into the flesh and blood, especially in ancient times, etiquette was a major national event.

It is not difficult to answer this question, but the difficult thing is how to write an essay that makes the examiner's eyes shine under the premise that everyone can do it.

In the quiet examination room, from time to time there were one or two coughs or the sound of grinding ink, and the dog held the brush in his hand, frowned, and thought slowly.

This question is definitely made by the emperor himself, why did he come up with this popular question? Could it be because some time ago, the unsuccessful candidates made trouble?

After thinking about it, the dog still couldn't determine the direction of his answer, and when he was thinking about going back and forth, an examiner in a green official robe came over, stretched out his hand and gently knocked twice on the dog's table.

The dog raised his head and looked at him blankly, and saw that the corner of the examiner's mouth was at the place where the incense was inserted.

I went, and half of the incense was burned, and in an instant, the dog's heart was popping.

After thanking the examiner, he hurriedly wrote down on the manuscript paper next to him, breaking the inscription.

"Etiquette, the shackles of people, if you go to it, the mob will rage, and if you wear it, you will be a humble gentleman."

The cliché of thought, the dog thinks that he can't get any good rankings, so he writes as much as he wants.

Just when the dog was thinking about it, the Great Song official was late, he stopped the official from preparing to interrupt the candidates, bowed to his movements, sat on the dragon chair, and looked at the candidates in this hall.

The first thing to look at is naturally the candidates closest to them, because the top students in this subject will have a high probability of coming out of them, and the second is to look at the age and appearance of these people.

The official suddenly appeared, and some clever candidates had already found out, so they stood up to make themselves look taller, and the remaining candidates who didn't find it were either focused or dazzled.

And the dog was one of them, so after he had written a thousand words in a hurry, he stretched and yawned several times.

His lazy appearance, among the many energetic candidates, is a little dazzling, standing in the corner of the hall in charge of etiquette and maintaining order of the officials, naturally found out, coughed and ran to the dog.

"You're a candidate, but you've finished answering the question."

The dog smiled and said with a relaxed face: "Of course, it's just a thousand words, it's nothing." ”

The examiner is also from a Jinshi, and his subject is not as good as this one, there is only one question, and it is so simple, so he glared at the dog with disdain, and said, "It's still early, check it carefully!" Be careful, no more faux pas! ”

The dog hurriedly responded, and then made a secret grimace at the back of him leaving, and then looked left and right, and saw no one submit the paper in advance, so he thought to himself, isn't it allowed to hand in the paper in advance? Why is there no one?

While thinking about the dog, he looked up, heh, this old man, cough, when did this emperor come, I was a girl, he actually smiled at me, this smile can startle the dog, and he hurriedly lowered his head, but it was too late.

"This Xiao Langjun, the official said that if you finish answering the questions, you should hand in the papers earlier!"

The dog looked at this old eunuch with a white face and beard, and made a duck's voice, and he wanted to cry with regret.

"Back to my father-in-law, boy, the boy hasn't finished answering yet!"

"Oh, you're naughty!" The old eunuch smiled and pointed to the dog's test paper and said: "It's all written, and I said that I didn't finish answering, okay, let the official family read it earlier, and you can go home early!" ”

After saying this, he ignored the dog's reply, and directly rolled the dog's test paper and walked in the direction of the dragon chair.

Dogs: ......

As soon as the test paper was handed in, it instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, and now the dog knew why everyone else had finished the question, but they didn't hand in the paper.

"Well, the answer is quite decent, I can make this article at a young age, and I have some skills, read it for the sake of submitting the paper first, promote it as appropriate, and give it a second-class list!"

The tone was not high, but it was like thunder in this hall, so that everyone heard it.

The ceremonial officer on the side looked at the dog who had long been stupid, and hurriedly walked over and led the dog to thank the Holy Grace.

After the wood-like dog followed the ceremonial official and kowtowed, he thought that he could go out, but he never thought that the emperor would actually open his mouth to beckon the dog to come over.

This time, the dog became a wooden man again, and then in the fierce reproachful eyes of the ceremonial officer next to him, he led the dog to the holy car and knelt down respectfully.

"Are you a candidate from Sichuan?"

The dog said, "Yes! ”

"It's been a lot of hardship along the way!"

The dog said, "Yes! ”

"Did you encounter any injustices on the way?"

The dog replied: "No! ”

Zhao Gou: ......

It may be that his majestic and solemn image scared the young candidate, so Zhao Gou squeezed his cheeks hard, put on an amiable smile, and said in a homely manner: "Parents at home are still healthy!" ”

This time, the young examinees spoke a few more words.

"Killed by the Jin people!"

Outside the imperial city, the dog was severely reprimanded by a senior official of the Ministry of Rites wearing a scarlet official robe.

"Tell me about you! looks like a clever person, how can he say those words to the officials! Yes! What is the current situation, the grand ceremony of the national dynasty, the big event of the whole country celebrating together, you really don't know what to do, look at it, those frustrating words, make the official family unhappy, I really don't understand at a young age! ”

The official took a breath and said again: "This official originally had a good impression of you, and it is obvious that he wants to promote you, and we all know that you will have a bright future in the future, but as a result, it really won't be a big deal, it's just that!" If it weren't for the last care of the officials, you would have been dismissed! Okay, for the sake of your youth and ignorance, I will forgive you this time, go back and reflect on it, and have more eyes! Really! ”

With a crackling reprimand, the dog wiped the saliva that had been sprayed on his face, respectfully saluted and turned around and walked out of the door.

Although there is only one question in the palace examination, there should be a vague name, and there must be procedures for detailing, arranging, sealing, transcribing, and judging.

With the participation of many marking officers, the test papers were arranged in just one day, except for the test papers of the top ten candidates, the rest of the papers have been ranked according to the merits of the articles.

The chief examiner, Zhang Shilang, and the two deputy examiners who were urgently appointed took office, took a general look, and then set their eyes on the ten separate papers.

"Both! What article do you think should be the best place for this first place? Zhang Shilang was the first to ask.

"Xia Guan thinks that this piece of "Rites Must Not Be Wasted" can be placed first!" The examiner on the left is the first to express his opinion.

Immediately after that, the right side vetoed: "This article is good, especially his deafening illustrations are very refreshing!" However, I feel that this "If you don't know the etiquette, you can't tolerate it" is better than him! ”

"No, the words in the article are very extreme, I think it is already a matter of caring to be able to put him in the first place in the second class! The first list is not successful! ”

"What if the words are more extreme, the etiquette is like this, a little negligence, there will be a catastrophe, so you can't be sloppy, you should use the warning to tell the world!"

Zhang Shilang looked at the two deputy examiners arguing with a red face and a thick neck, and secretly despised it in his heart, so he stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Don't fight for the two of you, this champion ranking is not determined by us, I said, let's line up the last few first!" ”

I have to say that this sycophant will really find a way to compromise, and the ten test papers were arranged by him in calligraphy, sentences in the text, and even whether they are pleasing to the eye.

Then unveil the seal, hey, the results of this palace examination are very different from the results of the provincial examination, Zhang Qifei, who ranked first or second in the provincial examination, Wang Shaogang actually ranked ninth and tenth, and the top three are actually people in the second class of the provincial examination, but fortunately, the candidate named Wang Zuo is still the sixth place.

"Okay, okay, it's not early, the official family is still waiting for the letter, the two of you hurry up and use the seal, and send it to the official family as soon as possible!"

When the two of them heard this, they no longer sighed, so they took out their seals and used them on the test paper ranking list.

Then the table and the test papers of the top ten candidates were sealed in a paper bag, handed to the Yellow Gate attendant who had been guarding the door of the marking room for a long time, and then was escorted by the sergeants and handed to the official's hand.

Zhao Gou just got up and wanted to go to dinner, when he heard that the test papers were delivered, he hurriedly fell back to his seat and said, "Bring it!" ”

The exam paper was brought to the dragon case, Zhao Gou first picked up the ranking table and glanced at it slightly, then took down the first test paper, looked at it word by word, while reading, while making annotations on it like a correction and correction, he smiled when he met a satisfactory one, and abandoned one side when he didn't like it, ten volumes, it was only 10,000 words, and he finished reading it in less than an hour.

After reading it, he didn't feel like it was enjoyable, so he called out to the waiter next to him: "Take ten more copies!" ”

The waiter answered yes, and hurriedly went out to give the order, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the people and horses who took the test papers rushed back.

On the second day after the palace examination, at the beginning of the unitary time, all the tributes who participated in the palace examination were still waiting outside the palace gate, this time, it was for the Jinshi to sing the praise, the chief examiner Zhang Shilang was responsible for singing the first list, the deputy examiner was responsible for singing the second list, and the rest of the list was handed over to any examiner with a loud voice.

"First place Wang Zuo, first place Jinshi and first, second place Ye Wen, give Jinshi and first, third place ......"

With the exit of a personal name, more than half of the people in the crowd of tributes came out to thank the Holy Grace, and then it was finally the turn of the dog.

"Longzhou Zhao Dagou, the thirty-eighth in the second class, was born as a Jinshi!"

The dog followed the example of his predecessors and knelt down, and then continued back to the group.

"Zhu Xi is ranked 90th in the top five, and he is from the same Jinshi."

"Feng Bo, the sixtieth in the top six grades, was born as a fellow jinshi."

……

"The above three hundred and thirty-one new science and technology scholars, kneel and thank the Holy Grace!"
