230 women won the champion

With his face brushed his beard, he glanced at the ninth volume, picked it up and respectfully placed it on King Wude's desk.

Hu Sanniang didn't look at it, she was so angry that her willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide open, and she couldn't tear the roll to pieces. I finally calmed down and watched it again. I saw that it said-

The man is the heavens, and the women are the earth; Men are yang, women are yin; Men are dry, women are kun. Heaven and earth cannot be overturned, yin and yang cannot be reversed, and the universe cannot be moved. If this is the case, we will be able to communicate with the government, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the peace will be eternal and peaceful......

The man is ambitious, and the horse holds the hook quickly. Die in the shade of flowers, and be a ghost is also romantic.

With a smile on the corner of his face, he picked up the sharp scissors. Hu Sanniang let out a long sigh and pushed the roll over.

While cutting the curly head, he comforted and said, "King Wude, after all, this is the first time for a woman to take the imperial examination. It's normal not to be in the top ten, I think there will still be a half in the top 30. If it were saintly, there would not be a one-sided situation in gender-specific admissions. ”

Hu Sanniang is no longer hopeful, but she is eager to have half a woman in the top thirty. Otherwise, it will be a real disgrace to "half the sky".

The face was cut open, and the face suddenly changed color, like boiled old pork liver, turning purple and black. Hu Sanniang hurriedly took the scroll over and looked at it, and her eyes lit up like searchlights.

The candidate's name is Sheng Nan, and the gender column is filled with the word "female". After the "Xiucai Try", Hu Sanniang met them and remembered the name Sheng Nan.

The tenth candidate is also a woman, called Flower Soul. The article was also written entirely in a man's voice, so as to avoid the patriarchal male judges. "gall" generally vicious eyes.

Looking at the two exam papers with face, it was really a loss of face, and he never imagined that women would squeeze into the top ten. The top 30 rolls were all revealed, and women accounted for six.

With a long sigh on his face, he can only repeat one sentence: only women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are close are not grandchildren, and those who are far away are resentful.

Hu Sanniang was overjoyed, and invited six women who were among the top 30 in the palace to have a big banquet and talk about wine. couldn't leave by himself, so he sent Lin Siniang and Hu Jiaoniang and a team of women's soldiers to escort Sheng Nan and Hua Soul into Beijing to take the exam.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, and all the exam questions were made by himself. This merry emperor doesn't have much Confucius and Mencius in his head, and he has a soft spot for "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi". The two most important questions are from Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi.

The first way is: the Tao gives birth to one, one life, two births, two births, three and three births, and all things;

The second way is: The son is not me, and I know that I don't know the joy of fish?

Speaking from the heart, the exam questions issued by Song Huizong give candidates more room to play and can imagine freely. The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, tested the "true temperament", unlike the later Ming and Qing examinations, which were written in eight-strand texts and spoke on behalf of the saints.

The examinee's head should be sharpened and drilled into the "Four Books and Five Classics" to see who is more similar to Confucius, Mencius, and Zhuzi (Zhu Xi). To put it bluntly, it's parroting. The third "parrot" is labeled as a flower; the second like the "parrot", which is labeled as the eye of the list; The parrot in the first image is naturally labeled as the champion.

Those parrots who have learned the same way, one by one, are unlucky, and after falling to Sun Shan, they continue to parrot their tongues. Many of them are getting worse and worse, and most of them are becoming sparrows. But some simply stopped learning, found another way, and opened up a new world. For example, Tang Bohu eventually became a great painting, Wu Chengen became a great novelist, and Li Shizhen became a great physician......

Sheng Nan especially likes "Zhuangzi", when he was seven or eight years old, he could recite it backwards, and saw "The Son is not me, I know that I don't know the joy of fish?" ", a thousand words in a moment -

Zhuangzi is not a fish, but he feels the joy of fish. Why are fish happy? Because it swims in clear water. The fisherman fishes and waits. The fish was lured by the bait, and the hook hung in the air and swung its tail, and the fisherman was happy; The fish was brought home, the scales were shaved, and the wife was happy; The braised is delicious, the mouth is fragrant, and the children are happy...... But the fish is not happy, and the bite of regret is hooked.

Fish are only happy when they swim in the clear water, sheep are only happy when they graze on the grassland, and eagles are only happy when they soar in the blue sky...... Everything in the world has its own nature. Happiness with its nature, and suffering from its nature. Do nothing and do nothing, the world is happy!

This is true of animals, and even more so of the primates of all things. The benevolent man enjoys the mountain, and the wise man enjoys the water. Flat-headed surname, live and work in peace and contentment. Fruit its belly, settle its body, the world is peaceful, and the top and bottom are happy......

The book is short, Sheng Nan is proud of the crowd and has become the champion in one fell swoop, with Wang Cheng as the leader and Li Cheng as Tanhua. The two of them stood on both sides of the female champion, and their hearts were very uncomfortable.

Zhao Ji was very happy that there was a female champion, but unfortunately the appearance was too ordinary. If the face is a little more handsome and the figure is slimmer, then there will be an extra woman in his harem.

The emperor summoned a talented woman and two talented men in the upper study. The three of them visited the emperor's study, and they didn't have a taste in their hearts.

"Three Aiqing, you will all be my ministers of the humerus in the future, and you have to go through the experience now. You have passed the examination room. I'm going to test you on the spot, so I'll take the study as the topic, and each person will write a poem, how about it? The emperor smiled and looked at the three of them.

Wang Cheng and Tanhua held the pen for Li, gently shaking their heads and conceiving, they wanted to write a swan song for the ages, beating the female champion.

Seeing that Sheng Nan was indifferent and didn't even take a pen, the emperor asked: "Sheng Nan, do you imitate Cao Zijian's seven steps into a poem." ”

Sheng Nan tilted his face and said, "Holy Lord, you don't have to take seven steps, just open your mouth." ”

"Okay, you say, I'll write—" The emperor picked up his pen.

Sheng Nan opened his mouth and groaned——

Open the book and think about it, and the abdomen is inside.

Long bookish air, faint ink treasure fragrance.

Wang Cheng and Li were paralyzed when they heard the ball like a deflated ball, and the pen fell on the paper.

The emperor immediately gave Wang Cheng and Li the official titles, and at first it was only seven grades, but it was not a seven-grade county order, and they were all "editing" some words.

Zhao Ji gave Sheng Nan an official, a little embarrassed, there is no "female official" in the court, it is really difficult to arrange, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Sheng Nan, give you two choices, do you want to stay in the capital and teach the princess to study?" Or go back to the Daimyo's Mansion and work as an errand under King Taketoku? ”

Sheng Nan said briskly: "Holy Lord, let me go back to the Daimyo's Mansion." The prefect there is a woman, so it will be easier for me to work......"

Sheng Nan returned, and Hu Sanniang was very happy. immediately appointed her as his special envoy and in charge of copywriting. In this way, there is Lin Siniang and Sheng Nan around him, which is very easy to use.
