"Uncle Xu is good."

"Uncle Xu is good."

The little servants who came and went nodded to him one after another, and Lao Xu hurriedly waved his hand and came to the study.

"Sir."

Luo Kui was practicing calligraphy in front of the bookcase, and when he heard that someone was coming, he finished writing the last stroke, so he put down his pen and ink and raised his eyes.

"Old Xu?"

"Yes, sir."

"Let's take a look at this letter."

Lao Xu stepped forward, first glanced at it, then nodded, and said: "The word is like its person, Mr. is frank, and this word is also majestic." ”

Luo Kui smiled and said, "You came in a hurry, but what's the matter?" ”

Lao Xu nodded and arched his hand: "Shen Gongzi, it doesn't look right these days, I study and copy books all day, and I sleep for less than two hours a day, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid my body will be in the way." ”

"This kid has such a heavy heart." Luo Kui frowned slightly and asked: "There is a month before the government examination, this kid has a reputation for the first time in the imperial examination, no wonder he is so tense himself." ”

He sighed and said, "Let's go, go and see him." ”

When I walked out of the door, the sunset had already set, leaving only a trace of afterglow, and I was still lying on the horizon.

In Minglun Hall, Jiang Liu's wrists were so tired that his neck was so numb that he couldn't even lift his head, his eyes blinked sourly, and he turned his eyes to look at Shen Kang.

"Shen San, let's rest."

Shen Kang buried his head in copying, and time seemed to have left no trace on him. His wrist still maintained the most suitable angle for writing, his body was still as straight as a green bamboo, and he didn't hear Jiang Liu's cry at all.

Wang Lucao, who was sitting behind the two, hesitated, raised his eyes to look, and got up and came to Shen Kang's side.

Wang Lucao's figure blocked part of the light, which made Shen Kang very dissatisfied, he frowned slightly and raised his eyes.

Wang Lucao frowned and said, "Rest for a while." ”

Shen Kang said: "Yan Gong said: The black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late. ”

"Then you don't have to go without eating or drinking!" Jiang Liushu was really a little angry.

Shen Kang habitually twisted his sleeves and replied calmly: "But I don't feel tired." ”

Luo Kui stood outside the door, listening to the conversation between these teenagers, he couldn't help but feel sad. Rao is a student from a poor background, no matter how hard he works, there are very few people like Shen Kang who are so harsh on himself.

He didn't hesitate any longer, pushed the door and walked into Minglun Hall.

Seeing Luo Kui standing at the door menacingly, the three teenagers hurriedly got up and saluted: "Sir." ”

With such a salute, Shen Kang felt that his wrists, neck, and even his back were already stiff, and his legs were swollen from sitting for a long time.

He frowned slightly, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Huh?"

Luo Kui's eyes swept over him, as if he hadn't seen it, and said: "Today's fifteenth day is the full moon, and you come to eat with the teacher." ”

Jiang Liuxuan looked happy, smiled and asked, "Mr. came just in time!" It's just that why haven't you eaten so late? ”

Luo Kui snorted lightly and said with a smile: "Come to Zhizhiju." ”

"Yes." The three of them should bow together.

The group came to Zhizhiju, walked into the dining room, and saw seven or eight dishes on the table, although it was not extremely exquisite, but it also made people can't help but move their appetites.

Luo Kui sat on the main seat, didn't say a word of nonsense, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and said, "Use it." As he spoke, he took the lead in picking up a piece of tender tofu.

"Thank you, sir." The three of them thanked one after another, and then each picked up the bamboo chopsticks and buried their heads in hard work.

"Huh? This tofu is so smooth and tender. Jiang Liusu couldn't help but comment.

Wang Lu said: "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Kui.

Jiang Liu was stunned, how could he forget, he was dining with the elder teacher, and the teacher didn't speak, why did he have no rules.

Luo Kui said: "It's like being at home, there is no need to be restrained." ”

The three of them were stunned, and Jiang Liuxuan said tentatively: "Sir, why don't you go home when the moon is full today?" ”

Luo Kui snorted lightly and replied: "Tomorrow when I go to Minglun Hall, I want to repeat the Zhangyi I talked about before, and from tomorrow, none of you three will be allowed to go home." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Liushu was surprised for a moment, it turned out that Mr. was making this preparation these days.

In fact, studying in a college is generally based on self-awareness, and it is rare for a gentleman to help you understand chapter by chapter.

Hearing such a good thing, Shen Kang couldn't help but smile, he put down the bamboo chopstick, arched his hand and asked, "Sir, what do you want to talk about?" Students want to prepare. ”

Luo Kui smiled and said, "As long as you learn with your heart as a teacher, you can keep your fame and fame." ”

Press, press.

After Luo Kui finished saying that, these two words appeared in Shen Kang's mind.

Yes, Luo Kui used to be an official and a great Confucian among the scholars, if he was willing to be patient and guide, what were they afraid of the imperial examination?

There is no more reassuring teacher than having participated in several imperial examinations!

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the drums began to beat in his belly, he smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Thank you, teacher." ”

Luo Kui said: "Those who are teachers can preach and teach and solve doubts." ”

For the first time in a month, Shen Kang ate a bowl of peace of mind, and at night, he copied three texts, climbed into bed and went to bed, but after a while, he began to snore.

Liu Shu, who was ready for supper, gently pushed open the door, and when he saw Shen Kang sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but smile and exited the door again.

Let's say that early the next morning, in Minglun Hall.

Luo Kui sat on the pulpit and said slowly: "The Four Books and Five Classics are the foundation of the imperial examination, the holy oracle and extensive training are the style of the imperial examination, and the rest of the scriptures of filial piety or the trial of the law are all auxiliary. If you want to get the top grade, you still need to fall on the text. It is simple to write a flourishing text, but it is not easy to be reasonable and reasonable. ”

"First of all, let's start with politics. Don't be young and ignorant, mention excessive political arguments, and it is good for officials to admire Changyan, but your Changyan may become a weapon for others. And again..."

He slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued: "In all dynasties, there are taboos in composition, and inappropriate rhetoric is not appropriate, which will eliminate the examination room at least and implicate the family at worst. Speaking of this taboo, ha. He chuckled.

Then he said: "There are still the most in this dynasty." As we all know, His Majesty now admires Taoism, and the first rule is that you cannot suppress Taoism. Second, the situation in the court is changing, and the party is strife, how can you know which one of the grading scholars is and which faction he is inclined to? Therefore, parties should not be easily toppled. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Third, when I was a teacher, I was an official career, that is, I folded on the top of the great ceremony, last year, the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was broken, and then Guo Guogong and others were either killed or injured, which also shows that Your Majesty has not let go of this matter." When you are composing, you must not write too much on etiquette, otherwise you may lose a lot of money. The rest, like the name of the saint, the family affairs of the minister, etc., must be deliberately avoided. You guys, do you understand? ”

"Yes, sir, the student understands." The three of them replied together.

"Okay." Luo Kui nodded, and continued: "Then today, let's start with political theory, talk about what is positive and negative, and how to make the positive theory the first and most Tao, so that the grading scholars are impressed." ”

"The succession of a decaying nation by a conservative king is like riding on a dilapidated carriage. How do you find the right craftsman to fix the wheel? How do I connect a broken wheel? How to wedge laxity? Replace the old with the new, so that the car can continue forever. In the early years, His Majesty implemented the "One Whip Law", and its profound meaning is to fill the treasury and enhance the national strength, and one whip law inherits the two tax laws of the Tang Dynasty......"
