… It's really interesting to say that the five questions are bad. If you don't rely on plagiarism. Compared with writing rigidly, "A continent girl is much more interesting."

For example, the first question is related to the promotion of meritocracy, the second question is related to the reform of the law, and the third question is related to diplomacy. The fourth question concerns Pingjung, and the fifth question concerns how the state handles the relationship between the central government and the feudal towns.

In fact, the general examination is much more interesting than the previous children's examination and the township examination. The children's test and the township test test the reader's mastery of basic cultural knowledge, and it is enough to be able to write articles and endorse books. However, the examination is different in that it is to select high-level talents for the country and to select grassroots leaders who can serve as the head of a county. The mere ability to memorize and write is not enough to share the worries of the monarch and the country.

Those who can be promoted, given, and fellow jinshi must not only have a theoretical foundation, but also have a certain ability to work, as well as a certain understanding of the current society.

Therefore, the historical theory tested in the first three days can not only show a candidate's mastery of Chinese culture and history, but also his judgment of the current social situation based on history.

As for the second scene, it is necessary to write a recital and an official document. Write a policy thesis.

The content of these two six-day sessions is all about integrating theory with practice, and if we really select materials carefully, it will be easy to select knowledgeable and capable scholars into the civil service.

Therefore, the impression that modern people think that the imperial examination is just to write eight shares and select a group of nerds who are dead to study is not correct. At least, as far as the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, a nerd, the biggest achievement is only a middle person, if you want to be a jinshi, it is impossible.

Besides, as far as Sun Dan knows, such as Yang Shen, Wang Yuanzheng and other Hanlin scholars who have passed the Jinshi, who is not a scholar who is not skilled and knowledgeable?

Now Sun Dan has the standard answers to these five questions at hand, and there are several first, second and third questions, and he only needs to choose one of them and copy it.

After analyzing the topic, the first question "Zhuge Liang has no heart to apply for business and uses his technique Wang Anshi to use the truth of Shen Shang and conceal his name" involves leisure. Before answering the question, it is necessary to review the question, and it has always been the best means for the feudal monarch to rule the world. Especially in ancient times, when the political system was not perfect, a good talent could indeed make a country strong. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the state selected talents, most of which were hereditary aristocratic systems, and as for the Qin and Han dynasties, most of the central and local officials were held by the children of the big families, so there was Cao Pi's Nine Rank Official Law.

Therefore, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, most of the officials of the state were selected from the nobles and families, and the evil consequences of inbreeding made the talents prepared by the state more and more scarce, and also blocked the passage for the lower classes of people to advance.

It is probably because I see that this system is not conducive to the discovery of talents. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system began to rise, and by the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination system was further improved, and finally became a relatively perfect talent selection system.

Therefore, the focus of this article should be on the imperial examination and talent selection system.

Sun Dan thought about it for a while, and copied one from the question bank.

Historical theory requires detailed historical data, clear arguments, and sufficient arguments, but there are no requirements for words, only two words: "rigorous"

Because the title of this subject is exactly the same as in history, there are a lot of model texts to copy, but those who copy them will crash. Fortunately, after each imperial examination. The next candidates will take the previous exam questions again, and there are many excellent works, so that Sun Dan chooses to be cheap.

The article that Sun Dan is copying now is written by someone during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no risk of a crash.

Doing five questions in three days is too long, and at Sun Dan's current speed, these five exam questions can be done in one day. But in ancient times, the imperial examination did not hand in the papers in advance, so even if it was completed early, it had to stay in the examination room. Therefore, Sun Dan was not in a hurry, so he picked up the pen and wrote it stroke by stroke in the neat pavilion style, and enjoyed the process to the fullest.

This article is only about a thousand words, no matter how Sun Dan grinds, there will always be a time to finish. When he finished writing the last word, his stomach let out a "Boom!" With a bang, he felt hungry.

Looking up, it was estimated that it was twelve o'clock at noon.

He smiled bitterly and muttered, "Time is really not good!" ”

Suddenly there was some trouble in my heart.

When I looked down at the question I had just written, the handwriting was neat as if it had just come out of the offset press.

"God, nine days and eight nights, if I don't have some fun, I will definitely be suffocated here."

He was so hungry that Sun Dan couldn't care about his worries, so he leaned down and lifted the exam basket to see if he could find some alluvial food to eat.

The basket was heavy, and when I came, it was already stuffed with food. When he entered the market, because there were too many things, Sun Dan's hands were soft. But no matter how much there is, no matter how big the basket is, it is not enough to eat for nine days.

According to Sun Dan's knowledge, there were candidates who ran out of food on the seventh day because they didn't bring enough food, and they were exhausted during the exam, and finally fainted in the examination room, and they were carried out by someone at the end of the exam.

This is also the inhumane side of the ancient imperial examination, but it is not possible to guarantee absolute fairness in the future.

Sun Dan is now because of his long-term boxing practice, and his body is no longer comparable to when he was in Shandong. It can be said that he has toned muscles all over his body, and he can eat a pound of rice and white rice at every meal. Thinking of the possibility of starvation in the future, Sun Dan was a little worried.

The food prepared by Zhiniang for Sun Dan is wrapped in dried lotus leaves, and there are three large bags of grass carefully tied on it, which looks like a big dumpling Ding Wan※

When inspecting the food earlier, these lotus leaf buns were opened by the officials and cut into small pieces with knives. Sun Dan remembered that one of the packets was hibiscus osmanthus cake, and as for what the other two packets were, Sun Dan didn't pay attention to it at the time, and he didn't bother with it, so he naturally didn't know what it was.

Now, Sun Dan was already hungry, so he opened a package, which was the pastry. He ate a piece and felt a lot sweeter than before, probably putting a lot of honey in it.

Sun Dan praised in his heart: What a branch girl, she is really careful, she knows that she can't bring too many things in, so she puts more sugar and is hungry.

After eating a piece of pastry, Sun Dan was curious, and opened the other two lotus leaf buns.

As soon as he opened it, he almost cheered: "Good woman, good woman, there is such a family like this." Women, it is really a blessing for my grandson. What I thought, she thought. What I didn't expect, she thought of too. ”

It turned out that one of the packets in this lotus leaf bag was beef jerky. One pack is pork floss.

It's all high-calorie food, and these two packets of things, so I won't be hungry in the exam room for the past nine days.

Come to think of it, these foods are all made by Zhi Niang with one hand and one foot, which Sun Dan can be sure of. Because the beef jerky and pork floss are put in star anise and tangerine peel. Not to mention the star anise, the practice of putting tangerine peel in beef jerky is a characteristic of Cantonese people, and later Sun Dan casually said it to Ji Niang, and as a result, Zhi Niang remembered it.

What made Sun Dan even happier was that he also found a small pot of wine under the bamboo basket, which was not Shaoxing rice wine that was popular in Beijing, nor was it home-brewed rice wine. Rather, it is steamed spirits. This made Sun Dan very surprised, strong wine was very valuable in the Ming Dynasty, and it could not be enjoyed by non-rich and noble families.

But in the examination room, because there is no stove, there is nowhere to heat it when it is replaced with rice wine and rice wine, and you can only drink white wine.

"This little woman, but today she is willing to give up." Sun shook his head with a smile, threw the exam papers on the bed indiscriminately, and set up a posture to drink wine and eat meat.

The wine is good, very sweet, some like what Sun Dan drank in modern times called Lotus White Daqu, who said that there was no good wine in ancient times?

At this time, many candidates also felt hungry, and the rustle of spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves sounded everywhere, which was also interesting to hear.

The strong aroma of wine in Sun Dan's cup attracted the throat of Zhang's daughter-in-law, who was making rolls opposite, "Goodong!" "A bang.

Because the two rooms are not far apart, you can hear them clearly. Candidates can't talk to each other, otherwise they will be kicked out of the examination room, Sun smiled lightly, raised his glass and gestured to Daughter-in-law Zhang.

Daughter-in-law Zhang had just finished the first question and was reviewing the second question, when she saw Sun Dan staring at herself strangely and smiling, she felt tired in her heart: This Sun Dan is really like what Huang Jin's eunuch said, he is a monkey. Such a serious examination room was actually regarded as a restaurant by him, is such a person also worthy of the title of a famous person? Not the Son of Man, not the Son of Man.

Daughter-in-law Zhang is still very proud of her answering speed. In his opinion, these five historical theories of Jinke are a bit difficult. It is a challenge to the candidates' view of the big history and the judgment of the current situation. Answering such a question requires a profound historical literacy and an appropriate conclusion based on today's reality, which is the most painful work to figure out the political direction of the examiner and the imperial court.

He also just finished Zhuge Liang's question, and he was looking at the next question, the next question was "Zhou and Tang Dynasties are heavy on the outside, light on the inside, Qin and Wei are light on the outside, and they have their own merits", this question is about the feudal town.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were no feudal towns, and even the local princes had many restrictions. Being raised like a pig by the state is unlikely to cause trouble. The imperial court suddenly came up with such a question, could it be to probe the opinion of the emperor's last battle for succession among the subjects of the world, and see how the people of the world evaluated him.

If you answer this question inappropriately, you will not only be deducted a lot of points, but if you have such a reputation, you will be burned for no reason. Thinking about it like this, it shocked Daughter-in-law Zhang's heart. Now that he was disturbed by Sun Danyi, his mind was suddenly confused.

But that Sun Dan was really annoying, not only drinking, but also making a disturbing chirping sound.

Sun Dan ate this meal slowly, it took two hours, it can be said that he can chew a hundred and ten times with a beef jerky.

Daughter-in-law Zhang couldn't think about it, so she could only write on the scroll indiscriminately, such as, Heaven and Earth Monarch and Teacher, mercy is the foundation of a country's program, and it is justified. The supremacy of the Son of Heaven and other clichés are a thing.

After writing it, Zhang's daughter-in-law regretted it, such an answer must not get a high score, and it will also damage his reputation as a famous person, but the volume is just this one, and there is no way to redo it.

Reluctantly, he stopped his pen and reached out to rub his temples. I just felt that my head was swollen and hurt.

Looking up, Sun Dan was already lying on the bed with a drunken face.

Daughter-in-law Zhang felt hungry at this time, touched a meatloaf from the test basket, and ate two bites, only to feel that her mouth was full of bitterness.

"Zai Sun Dan did the right thing, it's really moldy!"

After eating, Daughter-in-law Zhang picked up the third question again.

The title of the third question is "The Northern Song Dynasty knots Jin to Tuyan ** Song Zhuyuan to attack Cai", this question is about diplomacy, and it is easy to answer.

The allusion to this topic is that during the Northern Song Dynasty. The Jurchens rose up and tried to attack the Liao State. In order to flank the Liao State from the north and south, the Jin people contacted the Northern Song Dynasty to attack Yanjing together. The short-sighted Northern Song Dynasty did not understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and assisted the Jin State to destroy the Liao State, but as a result, he directly exposed himself to the iron hooves of the Jin army, and ended up in a dead country

It is said that this question is easy to answer, and if it is replaced by other candidates, it will naturally greatly refute the mediocrity of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But Zhang's daughter-in-law is so smart that she wants to write something different from ordinary people, so as to get back the lost points in the previous question, so she thought about it for a long time, and it was difficult to put pen to paper.

Moreover, this question is really unlucky, and it is a sign of the destruction of the country, and the answer is not correct, but I am afraid of losing more points.

As soon as she thought of this, Daughter-in-law Zhang only felt like a swarm of bees flying in her head.

At this time, Daughter-in-law Zhang had already completed two questions, and Sun Dan had only done one question, and from the perspective of speed, Daughter-in-law Zhang won a game against Sun Dan first. At least Daughter-in-law Zhang's start is still good.

Yes! Sun Dan let out a low moan, stretched long, and woke up from his nap.

The alcohol content of that pot of wine was very high, at least fifty-two degrees, which made Sun Dan, who was used to drinking soft yellow wine, a little unbearable. This sleep finally made up for last night's sleepiness, and made him refreshed for a while.

Looking at the sky, it was already sunset and dusk, and a flock of crows "croaked" and flew over the Gongyuan.

Fortunately, this first day is going to be overblown, so I don't feel sad.

If you're idle, let's do another question.

Sun Dan groped in bed for a long time, and finally found a test paper, unfolded it, but couldn't see it clearly.

When I looked up again, the sunset on the horizon suddenly closed, and the world was dark.

He took the lamp, and when he looked at it again, the entire Gongyuan was already lit up, like a dazzling Milky Way, and the scene was quite spectacular.

With the help of the dim oil lamp, Sun Dan looked at the title, which was "Zhou and Tang Dynasties are heavy on the outside and light on the inside, Qin and Wei are light on the outside and heavy on the inside, and each has its own gains and losses".

This question is too simple, Sun Dan has at least six model essays in his hand to copy, and these six sample essays are rigorous and simple in writing, so that people can't make mistakes. Although the content is all cliché, it can still get a high score.

So, Sun Dan didn't delay any longer, picked up the pen and wrote:

"The troubles of the world are impermanent, but those who are good at planning the country, regulate the general trend of the world, set the time and affairs, and have the end to control their deviations, will not change and be irretrievable. At the beginning of the founding of the country, each time the gains and losses of the previous generations were learned, and the system of one dynasty was determined, and the times were forced to do so, and it was necessary to make the descendants keep the peace of the world. The Lord of the world, ignorant of the changes of the times, slacking in the course of absurdity, not thinking about it, persevering in it, wanting nothing in defeat, how can he attain? I have taken a comprehensive look at the prehistory, the internal and external importance of the past dynasties, the reasons for the gains and losses, and the reasons. The Son of Heaven founded the country, stationed in the center and stationed abroad, and the majority of the people were able to win the world according to the form, and the manipulation of advance and retreat was self-maintaining, and the Quartet was on the right track without covetousness, so that the non-centralized power was in the center, and for a long time there would be a large army and a treacherous life, which was suitable for several generations of the world. ”

This is a straight argument.

Sun Dan is in good spirits now, and he copies it quickly, but in just an hour, he finished copying this 2,000-word model article.

And finally, the conclusion:

"To prevent a harm, there will be a more harm in the middle, out of what is prevented. However, the heir is deeply concerned, knows the general trend of the world, and persists due to the changes of the times, so that the harm is not visible and the trend has turned, and the world can be stable and long-term for a long time, without the worry of overturning. Otherwise, if King Wuyi of Zhou is lowered, King You's move to the east, Qin Wuer's comatose abuse, King Wei Wuqi's young darkness, and Tang Wudai's Zong Dezong's appeasement, then its chaos may not be too late. Jia Sheng said, the gentleman is the ancient view of the country, the test of the world, participate in personnel, observe the reason of prosperity and decline, judge the appropriateness of power, go to order, change sometimes, so it is protracted and the society is safe. If the rebellion of the four dynasties is weak, it is attributed to its ancestors for establishing the country

If the initial system is not good, then there is no way to do harm in the world. ”

He put down his pen and exhaled: it is estimated that it is already nine o'clock in the evening, and when he has a punch and moves his muscles, he can go to sleep.

He has been in ancient times for so long, and he has become accustomed to the work and rest time of the ancients. Go to bed before 9 p.m. and wake up before 4 a.m. every night.

It's not that he doesn't want to sleep lazy, he wants to be an official and a big official in the future. The central officials of the Ming Dynasty had to go to the morning court at four o'clock in the morning every day, and instead of suffering at that time, it was better to adjust the biological clock now.

Put the papers away, because the space in the examination room is too cramped. Sun Dan could only play one trip to soothe Tai Chi.

His fists and feet now also have some strength, and once he uses it, the law is strict, although the movements are full. But it also brought a breeze, blowing the candlelight on the table flickering.

After the punch, the drowsiness came as promised, and he was about to sleep. Sun Dan was stunned to find that Daughter-in-law Zhang was still sitting at the table, holding a brush in her hand, and she didn't fall for a long time.

When he finished his nap, Daughter-in-law Zhang was already sitting there like a wooden person, for a whole afternoon, without writing a word, until now.

Sometimes, Sun Dan wondered if this guy had died like those sitting monks.

But after watching it for a long time, Daughter-in-law Zhang made a grunt in her throat, and her eyes rolled a little, which let Sun Dan know that he was still alive.

"No, can't Daughter-in-law Zhang do such a simple exam question?" Sun Dan was puzzled: "Is he still the same famous man?" ”

Sun Dan's eyes were sharp, and he found that under the candlelight, the inkstone in front of Daughter-in-law Zhang had dried up, and the ink on the tip of the pen had condensed into a ball.

Although Sun Dan hated Daughter-in-law Zhang, he didn't want to see him like this, so he couldn't help coughing lightly.

When Daughter-in-law Zhang heard the coughing sound, her body trembled violently, as if she had just woken up from a dream. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
