======

Taixue's annual examination kicked off in the anxiety of the students, before dawn, Li Yanqing came to the Qiansi Building, which is a special building for the examination of Taixue's upper students, Taixue's annual examination is as strict as the imperial examination, all the candidates have to bathe and change clothes, change into a wide Confucian robe, and then salute in front of the salute, and then enter the examination room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The examination room is not a Gongyuan-style lattice examination room, but a lobby, and one hall can accommodate 100 candidates to take the exam at the same time.

Because the number of exams is relatively small, there are only 150 students in the upper dormitory of middle school students, including some students who have not taken the exam last year, so there is no need to issue the exam number in advance, etc., almost all the candidates know, everyone gets a temporary seat number at the door, and then goes to their own examination seat.

At this time, the sky is not yet bright, the hall is brightly lit, the temporary seat number Li Yanqing got is Ding 12, it is the third examination room, the last seat on the left, the table is quite wide, the table has been placed on the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the provincial examination is the same, each candidate only has two manuscript papers, which requires candidates to answer questions directly on the main paper.

According to the convention, the content of the exam is three questions on the scriptures, five questions on Moyi, and about 20 questions in the miscellaneous examination, and finally a poem, the test takes six hours, the total number of words is about 7,000 words, and each hour is about a little more than 1,000 words, and a cup of tea and a few snacks will be provided at noon, giving candidates a quarter of an hour to rest.

From the point of view of the amount of the exam, it is the same as the provincial examination, but the difficulty of the examination is recognized as exceeding the provincial examination, and the most critical point is that you don't know what the scope of the examination is, especially the twenty questions in the miscellaneous examination, and it is all kinds of examinations, especially like to test all kinds of cold and obscure content, which requires too many students to have a lot of reading.

However, this year is only Li Yanqing's first middle school exam, if he can't pass the exam, he will have a chance next year, at this time, the examiner announced the exam rules above, Li Yanqing sat at the table, but he was a little distracted, and his mind remembered a scene many years ago, the child who was only six years old was taken in front of the master, anxiously waiting for the master to ask.

"Tell me, why are you studying?"

I thought that his answer would be different, but his final choice was the same as everyone else, maybe this is an integration, maybe this is just a starting point, and the path he and them chose will be different.

"When you walk across the plains, you will soon see the endless sea, and maybe then you will know why you are studying."

........

Li Yanqing closed his eyes lightly and sighed sadly in his heart.

At this time, the exam paper was sent down, and the examiner knocked lightly on the table, pulling Li Yanqing's train of thought back from his memory, there are two exam papers, and there are six answer sheets, the first paper is the new meaning of the three classics, which is not very difficult, the key is the second paper,

The first question is estimated to stump many people, 'Therefore, the Son of Heaven is thought to be the world, and the world is not established to be the Son of Heaven.' The monarch of the country is the country, and the non-monarch is the king. The legislator thinks he is an official, and the non-legislator thinks he is a long. 'Ask for a break-up of the topic.

The meaning of this sentence is: Therefore, the purpose of supporting the Son of Heaven is to govern the world well, not to set up the world to serve the Son of Heaven alone; The purpose of establishing a monarch is to govern the country well, not to establish a country to serve the monarch alone; The purpose of establishing an official position is to better perform the duties, not to create an official position for the personal pleasure of the chief.

The literal meaning is very simple, but if you don't know the source of this sentence, you can't answer the question.

Li Yanqing has read this sentence, and it is a famous sentence of the famous thinker Shenzi of the Warring States period in his book "Shenzi".

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment, and wrote: "Shenzi used the famous words of a thousand years ago to warn future generations, so in the ninth year of martial arts, Zhang Yungu of the former Youzhou Records Office Zhizhong Shu Province went to the "Great Treasure Zhen", which simply said: "The saint was ordered to save Hengtun, so he ruled the world with one person, not one person under the world." ’

This is the standard answer format for the Taixue annual exam, the source must be named at the beginning, and then how to quote it by later generations, Li Yanqing naturally led to the early Tang Dynasty, and the ninth year of Wude was also the year of the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin ascended the throne as Taizong in this year, and used his practical actions to deduce why the Son of Heaven.

Li Yanqing also wrote: "The rule of Zhenguan began with the Ming of Taizong, but the Ming of Taizong is not the Son of Heaven, but the Ming of the courtiers, and the position of the Son of Heaven is the first to have the position of the Son of Heaven, and then the Son of Heaven is also ......"

.........

In the night, Li Yanqing, Wang Gui and Tang Huai galloped on the official road, the whistling night wind whistling in their ears, and the official road to the north was empty, and there was occasionally a caravan rushing to the night.

None of the three spoke, galloping all the way, and at noon the next day, they arrived at the Yellow River, on the opposite bank was Xinxiang County, and after Xinxiang, Xiangzhou was not far away.

The horses ran all night and a morning, they were already tired and exhausted, they were not in a hurry to cross the Yellow River, they found a tea shed near the Yellow River wharf and sat down, the three of them ordered more than a dozen snacks and ten steamed buns, Wang Gui gnawed on the buns, and asked vaguely: "Lao Li, how did you do in the exam yesterday?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head and said: "It's not ideal, the question is too biased, I personally feel that it is on the verge of passing or failing, it depends on the scale of the examiner." ”

"Actually, it's nothing to study for the exam, the key is the imperial examination, you have been preparing for this year, I think it's about the same, Lao Tang, don't you say?" Wang Gui poked Tang Huai with his elbow.

"Oh!" Tang Huai casually agreed, and continued to eat his red bean sugar porridge.

Li Yanqing smiled, "How easy you say this, how good it would be if you were the chief examiner." ”

Wang Gui snorted, "If I were the chief examiner, I wouldn't have to worry about which military camp to go to." ”

"What barracks to go to?" Li Yanqing heard what Wang Gui said and hurriedly asked.

Wang Gui sighed and said: "Wuxue is the first two years in the capital, the third year to work in the barracks, next February we will be two years old, and then go to the barracks to work for a year, to be a small officer or something, we are all worried, I don't know where to go?" ”

"Is there a choice?"

"There are four places to choose from!" Wang Guidao: "The border of Hebei is a place, Yunzhou is a place, Jiangnan is a place, and there is a place for the Hedong Military Division. ”

"And where are you going to choose?"

Wang Gui glanced at Tang Huai, didn't say anything, Tang Huai put the porridge bowl down, "What's so bad about this, you should let Lao Li know." ”

"What are you hiding from me?" Li Yanqing asked with some dissatisfaction.

Wang Gui scratched his head, "It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's really a bit embarrassing, the four of us actually want to go to different places, the fifth brother wants to go back to Hebei, I want to go to Taiyuan, Lao Tang wants to go to Liangshan, Lao Niu wants to go to the destruction of Fangla, how do you say this can be played?" ”

"And this kind of thing!"

Li Yanqing met the four people for the first time and was about to part ways, and he said to Tang Huai: "Don't go to Liangshan, have you forgotten the lesson of Captain Gao?" ”

In the spring of this year, Taiwei Gao Yu led 30,000 forbidden troops to suppress the Liangshan army, but was defeated by the Liangshan army, 30,000 troops were reduced by 20,000, and countless people were captured, including Hua Rong and Guan Sheng, who participated in the top ten archery and horse competitions, were captured in this battle, Gao Yu fled back to the capital in embarrassment, and the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji was furious, and directly dismissed him from the post of commander in front of the palace, and ordered him to reflect on the wall at home.

Li Yanqing just reminded Tang Huai not to stand under the dangerous wall.

Tang Huai pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "I plan to go home and discuss this matter with my father and grandfather again and listen to their opinions." ”

Li Yanqing knew that Tang Huai had been more careful from the beginning, and he was afraid that going to Liangshan was just an excuse for him, he actually had other plans, but he didn't want to tell his good friends.

However, Li Yanqing also understood that some things belonged to personal privacy, and he really didn't want outsiders to know, so he didn't ask more, so he smiled and said: "It's not early, hurry up and finish eating and go on the road!" ”

The three of them sped up and swept away the food on the table like a whirlwind, Li Yanqing got up and settled the account, and the three of them led their horses to the Yellow River.

There are a lot of ferries by the Yellow River, there are big boats for people and animals to cross the Yellow River, which can transport dozens of mules and horses and more than 100 people to cross the river at a time, and the price is not too expensive, fifty wen per person, the livestock is doubled, and there is just a big boat about to set off, and the captain greets them at the bow of the boat, "The three officials hurry up and get on the boat, and the seats are empty." ”

"When to go!"

"You guys get on the boat and go."

The three of them took the boat on the horse, Wang Gui paid for the boat, and he found an opportunity to whisper to Li Yanqing: "Do you think my choice to go to Hedong is right?" ”

"Why do you want to choose Hedong?" Li Yanqing asked.

"I won't tell you anything, my family has a bit of a favor in the Hedong Army, our family's fleet is hanging in the Hedong Army, and my grandfather has already said hello to that side, and the conditions for me to go to Hedong will be better."

"That's it!"

Li Yanqing said angrily: "Since your family has been arranged, ask me what to do?" ”

"But I always feel that I shouldn't be separated from everyone."

"Isn't it just a year? You're going to come back in a year to participate in the martial arts. ”

Wang Gui shook his head again and again, "That's not the case, basically where you go now, you will go in the future, this is the practice of learning martial arts, so martial arts is for everyone to choose, basically to choose your own future." ”

Li Yanqing was stunned in his heart, the matter had actually reached the point where everyone was going to part ways, and he felt that he needed to have a good talk with Yue Fei.
