Chapter 249: Talking about governing the country
"It's nothing, I'm just reflecting on how I shouldn't have made a noise to everyone just now, I'm here to apologize to you, sir, and make amends to you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Lu Xiaoyu, who lowered his head, made a strange sound.
"Well, that's right, hurry up and answer the question, the time is almost over. Don't look at it, and answer the questions separately. "This examiner is not a nonsense, seeing that Lu Xiaoyu took the initiative to admit his mistake, he didn't embarrass him much, most of the time he was thinking in his heart that if this person in front of him was the concubine who was chosen by the princess in the future, if he sold his personal favor at this time, maybe he could bring benefits to himself in the future.
Naturally, Lu Xiaoyu said what he said just now, but Lu Xiaoyu covered Lu Xiaoyu's mouth and pressed his hands on the side, pretending that Lu Xiaoyu said it, because Lu Xiaoyu was hidden next to Lu Xiaoyu, and it felt like Lu Xiaoyu was talking with his head down, which did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
After the examiner left, Lu Xiaoyu untied the suppressed Lu Xiaoyu and reproached in a low voice: "You just need to learn to control anger, how can you have a stiff fight with this examiner in that situation just now, otherwise won't your previous efforts be wasted?" ā
"I'm not worried that I won't be able to pass the test, I must not be able to pass without writing a word now, I can't control my emotions all of a sudden, and it's not good for my eldest brother to worry." Lu Xiaoyu blamed himself.
"Well, it's also my fault that I wanted to play a little joke with you on a whim, so I pretended not to come up with an article to deal with this subject, but in fact I had already written two articles and hid them on my body, and I was going to give one to each of you. I just didn't think that you were so emotional just now, and it seems that I still can't excite you. Oh, take it and see for yourself. Saying that, Lu Xiaoyu took out a pre-written article from his chest and spread it on Lu Xiaoyu's desk, as if Lu Xiaoyu wrote it himself.
Lu Xiaoyu saw that his impulse almost ruined Brother Xiaoyu's good deeds, and he was so moved that he couldn't speak. The only way to carry out the acting to the end is to pretend that he is there to write articles seriously. In the examination room on the side, seeing Lu Xiaoyu's efforts in the blink of an eye, he worked hard to write, and the articles on the paper were already full of frames, and nodded with satisfaction.
On the other side, Yang Xiangwu was also waiting for Lu Xiaoyu to send him an article. Lu Xiaoyu's crazy move just now, he thought that this matter had been lost, but he didn't expect Feng Huanlu to turn around and get the article handed to him by Lu Xiaoyu, and he also began to pretend to be writing an article hard.
The exam ended quickly, Lu Xiaoyu and Yang Xiangwu also successfully handed in their own articles, the invigilator looked at Lu Xiaoyu's article and was shocked, this article is not as beautiful as an ordinary article, the rhetoric is gorgeous, but it gives people a new understanding and a different opinion, and I can't help but be amazed.
Outside the examination room, Lu Xiaoyu and Yang Xiangwu finally breathed a sigh of relief, they were really living in it like a year, the atmosphere was still very depressing, and they almost couldn't breathe, and now it was great to breathe in the fresh air outside. Lu Xiaoyu also breathed a sigh of relief, his busy work was finally not in vain, and the two articles were successfully handed in. As for whether they can fall into the eyes of the princess and get her favor, it depends on their luck and the princess's mood.
In the study room of the Western Xia Palace, the invigilator piled all the essays written by more than a thousand candidates on the desk for the princess to see. The princess did not frown at the multitude of articles, but looked through each one with great interest.
But after reading a few articles, she frowned, these articles are all about praising the current peaceful and prosperous era of Western Xia, and even some opinions are very superficial without any opinions.
The princess was furious and asked the invigilator, "You observe them in the examination room, isn't there a candidate who is judging Western Xia and giving opinions that have never been done before?" ā
"Princess Qiyu, Weichen really saw two articles that have some praise for Western Xia, but they are more critical and views on the war in the north, as well as some opinions that Weichen has never read. There are some nouns in it that Weichen doesn't know, and the princess is well-informed or you can see it yourself. The two articles handed to the princess by the invigilator were written by Lu Xiaoyu and Yang Xiangwu.
The princess was shocked after reading these two articles, what kind of person can write such an article, it is like an initiation, which makes people understand in an instant. It's just true that some of the terms cited by Lu Xiaoyu did not appear enough in Western Xia, and even did not happen at all in this era, but in order to make these two articles more compelling, Lu Xiaoyu still did not give up these essences.
For example, there is a paragraph in which it is written, generally speaking, most of the civil ministers do not understand military affairs, rarely experience war, basically have no war practice, military practice, and the emperors who succeeded to the throne in the past dynasties were born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women, so they basically belonged to the civil ministers who did not understand military affairs. Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, from common sense, they will hate war and hope for peace and stability.
Generally speaking, military generals crawled out of the pile of dead and were survivors of war, and their knowledge and personal experience of the cruelty of war were much deeper than those of Wenchen. Therefore, once the military generals seize the world, from their subjective consciousness, the main consideration is to avoid war, that is to say, they rule the world mainly from the national security consideration, military construction in the first place, and most of the military generals have experienced a hundred battles, rich combat experience, and have a far-reaching reputation, those who want to launch a war of aggression or internal rebellion are basically cautious, and they do not dare to cause trouble easily, so in the early days of the founding of the country, the chances of war are relatively rare. In other words, the use of force will inhibit war, which can also be proven in practice.
For example, the Yang generals who guarded the border passes in the Northern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers' sigh of "shaking the mountains and shaking the Yue family's military difficulties", and Qi Jiguang's extermination of the Japanese Invaders in the Ming Dynasty basically played a deterrent effect on those who started the war, of course, they did not dare to start the war easily.
Although Princess Xiaoxiang doesn't know what the Southern Song Dynasty is and what the Ming Dynasty is, she can feel that the person who wrote the article wants to satirize the current situation in some countries through some non-existent dynasties, which makes Princess Xiaoxiang a little unacceptable. She is a frank woman, what do you want to say on the table, and she is a little sneering at this kind of fabricating historical irony. But it's just this that makes her a little unappreciated, and the other articles are written in her heart.
And Yang Xiangwu wrote the same as Lu Xiaoyu, the two seemed to have said that they were complementary, and they generally added up to each other, and the two articles added up to the future governing policy of Western Xia.
"Well, these two articles are very well written, and I will meet these two people tomorrow. Pick another forty-eight of the remaining essays that are well written, and gather fifty of them, and let them enter the palace tomorrow. I'm going to test them in person. After saying that, the princess went to her palace with these two articles, leaving the other examiners to delete the other articles.
