Chapter Seventy-Four: The Prodigy

All the high-ranking generals of the Great Song Dynasty were dismissed overnight, and the common people were inevitably a little frightened for a while, speculating about what earth-shattering political struggles had taken place at the top.

And Sun Yue knew that the release of military power with a glass of wine was just the first step in Zhao Kuangyin's drastic reform of the country in order to bid farewell to the chaos of the five generations.

But what does all this have to do with him? At least for the time being, this matter is just gossip news for him, and it is his business to deal with Tong Ju well.

At this time, Sun Yue is much more active and urgent than before, who let him have a father who plays with fire, God knows when Zhao Kuangyin will know about him and Fu's affairs, God knows what kind of attitude he will have, Sun Yue will hurry up and get a Jinshi background, so that he can be regarded as a scholar.

So, when Sun Yue walked into the Zhongshu Provincial Political Affairs Hall with such a determination to succeed, he couldn't stop laughing when he raised his eyes and saw a group of examiners.

The biggest difference between Tongju and the scientific examination is that after passing the examination, there is no need to make papers, but the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province will orally test the knowledge of the boys, give oral evaluation and suggestions for taking the office, and then report to the official family, after all, the purpose of the Tongju is to find a prodigy, and it is impossible for the fifteen-year-old Lu Mengzheng to enjoy the same difficulty as the five-year-old Wang Dan in the topic.

The reason why Sun Yue laughed was precisely because as soon as he raised his head, the servants sitting at the head of the political hall were Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu.

The real power of these people is definitely gone, but after all, the official position is there, and the fame and knowledge are not comparable to other rulers, so on this kind of issue that has nothing to do with real power, their opinions are very important.

This is two words for Sun Yue: stable.

When the exam started, the youngest Wang Dan started the exam, and asked some questions in the scriptures of filial piety and the Analects, all of which were rote memorization questions and did not involve righteousness, Wang Dan also answered them one by one, and the prime ministers nodded with satisfaction and began to ask some of the six classics, although Wang Dan couldn't answer most of them this time, but still answered quite a lot of parts, and the prime ministers nodded their heads in approval, and even a group of candidates secretly admired, they didn't have this ability when they were five years old.

After the school examination, Wang Pu came up with a random topic and asked Wang Dan to write a poem, even if the exam was over, of course, the level of the poem was not very good.

It was Sun Yue's turn, the rhythm at the beginning was the same as Wang Dan's, and he also casually intercepted the endorsement in the Book of Filial Piety and the Analects to take the test, Sun Yue answered more fluently, but it didn't take long for Wei Renpu to be unbearable, and he stretched out his hand to interrupt: "Brother Wang, don't ask this kid about such a simple thing, let me ask." ”

"Oh? Then Wei Xianggong please. ”

A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Wei Renpu's mouth, and Sun Yue's whole person was a spirit.

"Where there is a war, the first will be evil, and then the second will be deterred; What is the latter sentence? ”

Sun Yue replied: "If you rest, you will be sluggish, and if you don't rest, you will be harmful, and if you rest for a long time, it will be the opposite of deterrence." ”

"Do you know the righteousness?"

"It means that in any battle, it is easy to exhaust the troops by acting too early, and it is easy to make the army afraid when acting too late, and only paying attention to rest will make the army slack, and not resting will inevitably make the army tired, but after resting for a long time, it will produce a cowardly fighting mentality."

"Can you give me an example?"

"The battle of the giant deer can be proved by this."

"Divide and merge into changers, where is Qi Zheng'an?"

"Those who make good use of soldiers are all right, all strange, so that the enemy is unpredictable, so the right also wins, and the odd also wins. The soldiers of the three armies, they don't know their victory, they don't know why they win, they can get through without changing, and they can be safe. ”

Wei Renpu nodded with satisfaction, and asked many questions, all of which were the things he had taught Sun Yue on weekdays, from Sima Fa and Li Weigong to ask right, all the way to Liutao and Formation Ji, Sun Yue was in a cold sweat, you must know that he hasn't reviewed for a long time, and he has been preparing for Tong Ju recently, and he has never heard that Tong Ju wants to test the art of war!

Fan Zhen saw Wei Renpu asking, he couldn't help it, and personally took the school to take a little criminal law, and then Wang Pu, Sun Yue only answered more than eighty percent in a circle, because he really hadn't reviewed his homework much recently, and sure enough, when he looked up, he saw that the three teachers had a little displeasure on their faces, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

He was bitter in his heart, and the other Tongju candidates were cold, and those who were not very good in psychological quality were about to faint.

Is this the correct difficulty of the child's lift? What a joke! You must know that many of these candidates are like Lu Mengzheng, who are running to Jinshi, and some are running towards the Ming Jing as their goal and knowing all the Nine Classics, but why can't they even understand a punctuation mark in the questions of the prime ministers' exam?

This is only eight years old! It's such a difficult thing to take at the age of eight, so they still have a hairy test, especially this thing obviously responds like a stream, and the three phases still have a dissatisfied look, oh my God! They felt that they couldn't find the right adjectives to describe their mood at this time.

The reaction of the other Zaizhi was similar, they all stared at each other, completely stunned, there are so many exam questions that even they don't know! Is this really a test for children?

Only Lu Mengzheng didn't think about it because he knew Sun Yue's details, but he had to smile bitterly, these three prime ministers clearly regarded this Tong Ju as a random test. He asked himself that he was also excellent, and he was never convinced in terms of talent and talent, but after knowing Sun Yue, he realized that the gap between this person and people was sometimes really innate.

When Sun Yue finally finished answering the question tremblingly, a cold sweat broke out, or Wei Renpu snorted coldly: "Reluctantly, young people don't waste their studies because of playfulness, you know?" ”

"Yes."

"Make a poem."

"Please ask the Prime Minister to give me the question."

"Today, since it is a child test, you can compose a poem with the theme of prodigy."

Prodigy?

The poems in the imperial examination are generally used for speech, and prodigies are relatively easy to answer.

The most important thing is that he happened to know a ready-made masterpiece, which happened to be written by a prodigy in the Northern Song Dynasty, the name was a prodigy poem, slightly modified, how could it be so suitable to use it, in view of the previous examination school, he didn't seem to be satisfied with the three teachers, so at this critical moment, he decided to copy it simply:

Young children must be diligent in learning, and articles can stand up;

Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is full of scholars.

Learned diligently, thousands of books;

Three winters are enough today, who laughs and has an empty stomach.

Since childhood, he has learned from many talents and has high ambitions in his life;

Others have swords, but I have a pen like a sword.

Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall;

There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant.

………… (The full text of the prodigy poem is more than 1,000 words, so I won't copy all the words)

This prodigy poem is one of Sun Yue's favorite works in his previous life, after many years, although he can't remember the later ones, at least he still doesn't remember the classic parts of the front.

As soon as the poems came out, even the three phases were a little stupid, they naturally knew Sun Yue's talent and talent in poetry, but this kind of super long poem, they were a little confused, the difficulty of this is far from being comparable to short poems, in fact, this kind of long poem at this time, almost no one has played, Sun Yue's hand, almost created a new form of style in the literary world.

In this regard, all the candidates who participated in the children's lift, including Lu Mengzheng, have only one word to describe the emotion in their hearts:
