Chapter Forty-Eight: Again with Hasty Wisdom

Shen Yun was stunned.

Suddenly.

The bamboo plaque with the name of the work written on it had already been handed over by people as early as when he met Zhang Shi'an. Therefore, this Futai Duke definitely knows what he has written.

However, now he did not stop the questions of the people in the audience, and there was a playful look in his eyes, which made the guess in Shen Yun's heart more and more certain. Yes, these people are going to test Shen Yun's knowledge.

Judging by his expression, there is naturally no malice in the slightest.

Moreover, it has become a common practice for the elders of Shilin to meet the younger generations who appreciate them, and to take the school knowledge examination at every turn. Shen Yun felt deeply flattered at this time, and at the same time, he was also trying his best to think about the answer to this question.

There are also two titles on the third floor.

The first is the theory of scripture and righteousness, but it has ideas and expounds everything.

The second is the current policy, the major affairs of the family and the country, which can be said.

Looking at the three-story test center, except for the absence of Moyi Sutra, everything else is consistent with the scientific examination, which is really a rehearsal before the scientific examination.

When Shen Yun set foot on the third floor, he also stayed for a while, and while he didn't disturb those scholars thinking, he also paid attention to the topic on the third floor. When asked at this time, it was a little less embarrassing.

"Both are prepared for scientific research, and the Futai Gong is really well-intentioned." Shen Yun bowed to Zhang Shi'an, and while the Si people were full of joy, they were questioned.

"If you can see this, you are naturally a smart person. It's just that we want to see Shen Sheng's article as soon as possible, but we still have to wait for an hour, which is really itchy. If you don't recite the article, it will extinguish the fire in our hearts. ”

said so, but his eyes looked at Zhang Shi'an.

This matter is ultimately up to him to decide.

Up to now, Zhang Shi'an also had the heart to take a look at Shen Yun's talents, and when he heard this request, he actually nodded, and said to Shen Yun: "Since Shen Sheng has studied hard for three years and his reputation is not obvious, today he should show what he has learned in his chest, so that the people of Qinzhou will know that there are also people in the world who have not made a name for three years." ”

Shen Yun smiled bitterly and nodded.

This Futai Duke is really full of confidence in himself, knowing that he came up with words, and he wants to make an article for himself. Aren't you afraid that you will be short of words for a while and make a fool of yourself on the spot?

At this moment, I was really praised too high by this one.

If you can conquer everyone here with your article, then it will really be as Zhang Shi'an said, a blockbuster. But if he can't, then his life in Shilin will be sad in the future.

Shen Yun could only smile bitterly and bow to Zhang Shi'an.

Then, he slowly spoke in the eyes of many expectations.

"Sex has all things in heaven and earth, people don't know what to do, and people don't know what to say. However, I will truly see that all things in heaven and earth are in my nature, and I will really be able to merge all things in heaven and earth with my nature, like the hands and toes of the head, all as I want. ”

It was just a small paragraph, which instantly aroused the amazement of the people in the audience.

"Is this Mencius, with all my heart?"

"Is this out of 'All things are for me'?"

"Wait, and also, the word 'exhaustive' also has a source, which is 'only the world is sincere, in order to be able to do its best' in the "Book of Rites and the Mean"."

The exit is to post two classic sentences in a row, which makes these people look forward to what kind of articles Shen Yun can make. However, the beginning is close to the point, and the next thing is to quote the scriptures to correct the name.

"......'Sex is not his, but benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom are.'" So the seeker has a basis. ”

In the following words, the core idea of Shen Yun's article is further elaborated, and the four virtues of Mencius are explained in simple terms from the inside out.

The full text of the book "Mencius" takes the four virtues as the core, and even the famous people in Qinzhou can't help frowning and thinking hard at this time.

After a long time, someone raised his head and looked at Shen Yun with some regret: "If what I said is correct, Shen Sheng should be majoring in Mencius, right?" ”

The reason for this question is also because although the number of words in the Twelve Classics of Confucianism is not much, but the words are fine, and many people spend their lives only studying one of them. Now Shen Yun's articles are all Mencius's thoughts, so there is such a question.

Shen Yun nodded.

However, for him, both Confucius and Mencius are the foundation of his learning, and he was born with the memory of two lifetimes, which is comparable to ordinary people.

Getting Shen Yun's answer, this person sighed: "When the king of the dynasty is the scholar of the dynasty, he respects Meng, and since the "Hundred Years of Nothing to Do in this Dynasty", Shilin has faintly had such an atmosphere. Alas......"

He sighed, but didn't say any more.

In fact, everyone in the audience knows that it is a pity that Shen Yun is so blindly obedient, and a literati without independent thinking will not go far.

Zhang Shi'an smiled.

How the court is striking, he, the old guy who is about to become a minister, can't control it. But Shen Yun, a junior, he saw it in his eyes, so he also opened his mouth to explain a few words to Shen Yun: "Although Wang Xianggong has been looking forward to it for 20 years, I still respect Xianggong in Qinzhou." Shen Sheng's article, do you think it can be done after two or three years of study? ”

Saying this, everyone was relieved.

Shen Yun Xi Meng is in front, and the world respects Meng in the back, but Shen Yun has no taste of inflammation.

"If the prince saw it, he would be happy to think about it. Today's article, although I am not proficient in Mengxue, I also think that it is really one of the few good articles in my Qinzhou in recent years. ”

"I said that the prince downstairs has always respected Confucius, and he can let a descendant who writes articles about Zong Meng come up, and I don't know how long I have struggled."

"You are so good at being narrow, stay for a while, Master Wang will come up, but you have to talk to him."

"Don't say it, don't say it, the old gentleman's temper is really stubborn, don't fight with me when the time comes."

joked and praised Shen Yun a few more words, and then got down to business.

"Shen Sheng's theory of scripture and righteousness really overwhelms his peers, but there is still a current policy, why not talk about it together."

Even if Shen Yun said two moments in an article before, he still didn't wait for a scholar to come up below. These celebrities asked Shen Yun to talk about the second article of current affairs together.

Zhang Shi'an's smile became more and more vigorous. Brushing his beard, he nodded at Shen Yun.

"The scriptures and righteousness are examined for school knowledge, and the current policy must be examined and measured." Zhang Shi'an said with a little reminiscence, and said with emotion: "I think at the beginning, Fan Xianggong's 10,000-word "Shangzhi Book" was deeply valued by Yan Xianggong. This year, there is another bachelor Wang, an article "A Hundred Years of Nothing to Do in this Dynasty", which shocked the world. Only when a writer is in charge of politics can we show what we have learned. ”

Whether the current policy is done well or not can definitely reflect a person's ability to govern.

Ouyang Xiu is the first generation of Wenzong, the article is splendid and crowned for a generation, the world knows that his article is done well, but if it is not for the examiners to frustrate his spirit, this is also the champion. And those who can win the champion will not be able to govern poorly.

The Si people are in charge of Tokyo, and a palace is to be built in the palace. Considering the difficulty of transporting timber, earth and stone, Ouyang Xiu directly ordered people to dig the road to Tokyo and divert the water of the Bianhe River into the palace, so that the ships transporting timber could go directly from the canal to the outside of the palace. After the construction of the palace was completed, the excavated earth and stone were filled back into the road.

This alone can prove that the IQ of the officials who have undergone scientific research is by no means comparable to that of idlers.

Shen Yun's knowledge has conquered the people here, so his hopes for him are getting higher and higher.

He nodded with a wry smile.

How could he not know Zhang Shi'an's good intentions, and in the eager eyes of a cadre, he spoke again.

In the end, the articles here are all about national affairs. Today, the biggest state affairs are economics and diplomacy.

Later generations only knew the economic prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, but they did not know that weakness and poverty were its true nature. The booming economy did not bring much benefit to the treasury and the people, because a large part of the money was used to plug the holes of diplomatic weakness.

The dynasty has a tax of 20,000 taels of silver a year, but to raise the forbidden army, it has to scatter 20 million taels. It is also a relief from all over the country, officials are paid, soldiers are raised, and even annual coins are rewarded, and there is not much left at all throughout the year.

To this day, the people of the north are still worshipping Xie Kouzhun, if it weren't for the cruel words at that time, with the urine of Zhenzong, the annual coin given to the Liao State would have reached a total of one million taels of silk cloth and silver.

Even though the original agreement of 300,000 taels has now risen to 500,000 with the trend.

Where does all this money come from? It wasn't the local officials who asked the people to collect it. Layers of exploitation, to the treasury there is not much left.

So much so that even Renzong, the greatest emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, had to cut back on food and clothing and make great efforts to reform.

Shen Yun expounded on the issue of foreign relations. In particular, Western Xia, which was the most threatening to Qinzhou, became the object of Shen Yun's heavy narrative.

After Li Liangzuo died violently in the fourth year of the autonomous peace, and his youngest son Li Bingchang succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia took control of government affairs, and together with her relatives, launched a continuous campaign against the Great Song Dynasty. If it weren't for the strong counterattack of Chong Ge and others, they would have hit Qinzhou Mansion by now.

It's just that after years of fighting, the Great Song Dynasty has also lost more and won less, which is really sighing.

"A thief has three evils, and if you hit it, you will die. One said that the lord of the country was young, and he was involved in politics in the harem. The Liang woman is a thief and attached to power, which is not tolerated by the Li family. This disease is like a disease in the intestines, and eventually it will be terminal. ”

For Shen Yun to be able to know all about the state affairs of Western Xia without leaving home, although some people were surprised, but more were praised.

"The second is greedy, fighting every day, not caring for the people's livelihood, but the money is all in his own pocket. In summer, the people ate grass and mustard, and the descendants of the Liang family abandoned fish and sheep. The anger of the country and the resentment of the people will eventually lead to subversion. ”

"Three rats at both ends. The Si people founded the country, and they met with the Liao and Song dynasties, but there were old grievances before and after. In addition, the Tibetan people have no allies, and once the incident happens, there will be no lamb to be slaughtered. ”

…… sprinkled with a thousand words, even Zhang Shi'an's eyes were burning. If all of them are copied and reported to the court, it will be of great use to the next battle in Western Xia.

After Shen Yun finished speaking, he ushered in a burst of applause.

Although these scholars and doctors are all empty talk and mislead the country, but in the final analysis, they can be regarded as a group of angry young people thousands of years ago, if Shen Yun's method can eradicate the scabies of the Western Xia Kingdom, it will definitely be the most pleasant thing since the Song Dynasty.
