"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to stabilize the society and tranquillize the people, Taizu took the sword as the pen, and gave 18,867 words of ancient precepts at the top of the Temple of Heaven.

The holy words of Taizu, all the people of my Great Xia, must always remember the ancient precepts, eternal can not be forgotten, the candidate in a stick of incense will be the content of the ancient precepts of Taizu silently written a piece of qualified, by the time of writing and the accuracy of the content to determine the ranking.

Taizu ancient precepts since childhood, civil ministers and military generals are all admired, so this question is treated equally, regardless of civil and military, Wang'er and so on to answer seriously, if there are opportunistic cheaters, reform all the fame, punish three generations of relatives, be careful! Cautious! Cautious! ”

When the candidates in the square saw the content of the exam questions, they were stunned at first, and then, one by one, everyone showed a trace of bitter expressions, scratching their heads helplessly, and the candidates all scratched their ears and began to think hard.

"What ----- is this?"

"That's right, how can you take this kind of question."

"Isn't it a text question and a martial arts question? Why did you get rid of a question? ”

"If you had known about the ancient teachings of Taizu, you should have gone to the Temple of Heaven to take a look when you came."

"Alas, I haven't read the ancient teachings of Taizu for many years, and I have almost forgotten them."

"It's over, I've made enough preparations before, but I haven't reviewed the ancient teachings of Taizu."

Seeing that the candidates in the square all showed unprepared expressions, the family members in the audience were also anxious, if it weren't for the Praetorian Guards guarding the stage, and the bachelor overseer of the Hanlin Academy on the stage, they would have helped cheat a long time ago, but now there is no chance at all.

Looking at the reactions of the candidates and the family members in the audience, Nangong Xiongba stroked his beard with satisfaction, in order to come up with this exam question, he thought about it for several nights, and now it is okay, and finally stumped those candidates.

The reason why everyone showed such a bitter and helpless expression was not because of how difficult Nangong Xiongba's exam question was, on the contrary, this exam question was too simple, but it was this kind of exam question that was so simple that it couldn't be simpler, which stumped the pride of the heavens on the stage.

The content of Taizu's ancient teachings covers a wide range of topics, including politics, military, people's livelihood, laws, taboos, and royal family rules, and is a warning that Emperor Taizu left to his descendants and subjects.

All over the world, whether it is a private school or a school, when students can read and write, they must recite the ancient teachings of Taizu, and practice penmanship with the content of the ancient teachings of Taizu, and wait for students to memorize the ancient teachings of Taizu before they can learn other knowledge.

It stands to reason that since everyone has learned the ancient teachings of Taizu since they were young, they should be happy and happy when they see this exam question now, why are they all sad and sad, the reason is very simple, that is, they have almost forgotten it now.

In addition to writing the ancient teachings of Taizu silently after a young age, these people basically have little contact with the ancient teachings later, and they have no time to write the content of the ancient teachings silently, even if they still remember a little content, they are still fragmented paragraphs, and they cannot be coherent at all

To put it bluntly, the so-called ancient teachings of Taizu are actually a text that they learned when they were children, and now the invigilator suddenly asked everyone to write out the text they learned when they were children word for word, and there is a time limit, this question sounds very simple, but it is really difficult to do.

This is like the text "Will be harmonious" that we learned when we were children, everyone remembers that the content is about Lin Xiangru and Lianpo, at that time, in order to learn the content of the text, it took a lot of energy, memorization, silent reading, and writing words, which really took a lot of hard work.

Although I remembered this text clearly at the time, but after many years, I am afraid that I have forgotten it almost, and even if I still remember, it must be just a few words, but suddenly one day, someone asked you to write down the content of "Will Harmony" word for word, can you still do it?

At present, those candidates in the square have encountered this kind of problem, the general meaning of the ancient precepts of Taizu can still be remembered, but the details are not clear, some of the good brains can remember most of the ancient precepts, but it will be difficult to write them out word for word.

For a while, the square was full of sighs and sighs, wanting to cheat and ask for help from his family, and he was afraid that he would be found out to remove his fame and affect three generations of relatives, but if he wrote the ancient precepts silently, he didn't know where to write, and what was worse was that there was a time limit for the exam questions.

Just when all the candidates were worried, Nangong Xiongba, who was sitting in the position of the chief examiner, accidentally saw a candidate in the front row on the east side of the examination room, not only him, but also the invigilators on both sides also found the candidate.

I saw a young candidate wearing a long shirt and holding a folding fan, who was flying like a pen, and wrote the answer from the paper with a calm and relaxed face.

"That guy looks familiar, doesn't he?" After whispering, Nangong Xiongba took a closer look, and after he looked carefully, a speechless expression suddenly appeared on his face: "Isn't this the inspector chief envoy Ling Xia that I just promoted?" Why did he come here to join in the fun?

Ling Xia, Ling Xia, you said you would come, but you have to stand on the right team, as a dignified military general from the Sixth Rank Praetorian Guard, you didn't obediently stay in the camp of the generals, and actually ran to those literati teams to mingle, this cheeky is too thick-skinned. ”

After complaining in his heart, Nangong Xiongba secretly observed Ling Xia, and after watching it for a while, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, because Ling Xia was bowing his head and answering the question from beginning to end, with a faint smile on his face, as if everything was confident.

Looking at Ling Xia's performance, Nangong Xiongba was amazed in his heart, and said in his heart: "Looking at his appearance of flying like a pen in one go, he really has a little confidence, could it be that he remembers the content of Taizu's ancient teachings clearly?" Impossible, right? ”

In fact, Ling Xia had never heard of any Taizu ancient teachings before, the reason why he was so confident now, pure luck was due to luck, when he first came to the imperial capital, he went to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to find Nangong Xiongba to ask for an official, and accidentally saw the exam questions placed by Nangong Xiongba on the stone table.

At that time, Ling Xia quietly memorized the content of the exam questions, and after completing the handover of military affairs, Ling Xia quietly found a rubbing copy of Taizu's ancient teachings.

In this way, when all the candidates were distressed and worried because of the tricky exam questions, Ling Xia began to answer the questions happily, because he knew the exam questions in advance, in order to achieve the effect of pretending to be forced, he specially bought a folding fan.

At this time, it was autumn, and the breeze was cold, and he was shivering without shaking the fan, but in order to create the effect of pretending to be forced, Ling Xia shook the folding fan in his hand while answering the question, and after a few fans, he was so cold that his nose was runny, but even so, he refused to stop.

After half a pillar of incense, Ling Xia curled up, stood up tremblingly, wiped his nose, and said with chattering teeth: "Submit ----- ------- handover." ”

When the word "hand in the papers" was spoken, Ling Xia endured the cold and shook the fan twice, and when the light wind blew, he almost froze.
