The benevolent is invincible and can be king.

The title of the exam question comes from the "Mencius" chapter of King Liang Hui in the Canon.

Among them, Mencius said: A place can be a king for a hundred miles. The king is benevolent to the people, the provincial criminal law, the thin tax, the deep cultivation is easy to raise, the strong man cultivates his filial piety and loyalty, enters his father and brother, and goes out to his long. And when he took away his people, he was not allowed to plow the land to support his father and mother. His parents are cold and hungry, his brothers and wives are separated, he is drowned in his people, and the king is going to conquer him, who is the enemy of the king? Therefore, it is said: the benevolent are invincible.

The chapter of King Hui of Liang is the political proposition of Mencius to govern the world with benevolence, and the emperors of all dynasties know its detailed meaning.

But now it is actually proposed as a question for the scriptures, as a question for the scripture exam, which is obviously a bit wrong.

In particular, the topic of this benevolent invincible king, how to listen to it, is more like the meaning mentioned in the slogan put forward by Jiangnan La's rebellion when he raised the flag.

Of course, in the slogan of Fang La's rebellion, it does not directly mention the meaning of the invincible benevolent, but it means that today's official Zhao Ji is unkind and takes the traitorous ministers as a disaster to the world.

After coming back to his senses, a layer of cold sweat oozed from behind Qian Heng.

Sure enough, this scientific expedition will never be so simple, if it is according to the literal meaning, to explain the meaning of the invincibility of this benevolent man, it will definitely become the target of the public, especially the interpretation of benevolence, if it can't be secretly in line with Zhao Ji's mind, let alone Zhongjinshi, if it is written as the main purpose of disobeying Zhao Ji's mind, I am afraid that the result of being assigned to the border army is light.

The benevolent, the benevolent government also. The king, the emperor also.

The emperor is invincible, so he can be benevolent, this is the explanation that Zhao Ji wants to see.

Qian Heng pondered for a long time before he came to this conclusion.

This scripture and meaning topic is indeed a huge trap. However, for most candidates, this kind of exam question will not be misunderstood.

Only the kind of candidates whose minds have turned around, and Qian Heng, who has a thinking mode that is very different from the current one, will misunderstand the true intention of this exam question.

After figuring out the intention of the questions in the Jingyi exam, Qian Heng no longer hesitated, for this kind of Jingyi article, Qian Heng wrote this kind of article under the guidance of Huang Shang.

Strictly speaking, this kind of essay is like the argumentative essay writing method that Qian Heng learned when he was in school, using facts and reasoning to put out arguments, arguments and arguments, and write his arguments in a clear manner.

For this kind of argumentative essay, Qian Heng didn't feel any difficulty.

The emperor is invincible, so he can be benevolent in the world.

This is the theme of Qian Heng's Jingyi article, and if you set up an argument, you can use arguments to prove your correct viewpoint. In addition, when arguing the museum's own point of view, it is necessary to put forward its own opinions, which is also an important factor in winning Zhao Ji's approval.

Before you can't guarantee your own safety, it is necessary to compliment Zhao Ji.

Qian Heng thought about it for a while, and then listed three examples.

The benevolent person is the most helpful to the world, and the one who can help the world is the only one who can afford it today.

At present, there is only one person who can be called invincible, and there is only one official family today. As for the northern Hulu such as Jin Liao and Western Xia, Qian Heng didn't even mention it.

It's not that Qian Heng doesn't want to mention it, but in this case, it is meaningless to mention it, even if there are a few traitorous ministers in the court, it is impossible to confront Hu Lu and strengthen the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty.

For all the ministers in the court, Qian Heng has long stopped counting on it.

I only hope that someone can take on the role of this Great Song Dynasty for a few more years, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty can suffer a little less of the sin of life.

Thinking about the hardships that the Great Song Dynasty would face in the future, Qian Heng also felt a little more sad in his heart.

The so-called benevolent government should put the people first.

I can't directly talk about the behavior that made Zhao Ji give up the pursuit of art, but I can only mention the argument that the people are important from the side, at least this theme is quite consistent with the invincibility of benevolence.

It wasn't until the time of the lamp that Qian Heng roughly wrote out his scripture and righteousness articles on the draft.

All that remains is to transcribe the essay onto the official exam paper, and the second exam is considered complete.

Qian Heng did not rush to copy and hand in the papers, but directly pressed the scratch paper at the bottom, pulled the slip and leaned on the couch, pretending to sleep.

The light of the oil lamp was not too weak, Qian Heng picked up the lampshade, extinguished the lamp, squinted his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

Qian Heng didn't know that after Wang Hao and Cai Yi saw Qian Heng's exam paper for the first chapter of poetry, they had been looking forward to Qian Heng's second paper being handed in.

even specially arranged for soldiers to keep an eye on the news from Qian Heng's side, and seeing that the test house where Qian Heng was was actually turned off even the lights, knowing that Qian Heng would not hand in the papers today, Wang Hao and Cai Yi broke off their minds to wait.

may be because Qian Heng handed in the papers and let the subjects of the second session be released in advance, in the second half of the first day of the exam, more than a dozen people have already handed in the papers of the poetry exam.

However, these two examiners have also read the poems of these people, although there are also poems that make people feel a little wonderful, but once compared with Qian Heng's "Reading Books with Feelings", not to mention the world of difference, whether it is the situation or the pattern, it is incomparable.

The two simply didn't continue, each found a place, folded their clothes and lay down, and rested for a while.

Early the next morning, the sky was just bright, and after Qian Heng woke up, the entire examination room was filled with a faint cold mist, and the cold of early spring had not completely faded.

Qian Heng stood up in the exam number, stretched his body, moved his somewhat sore body, and ran the five birds that he had already been familiar with in his chest, and his whole body became more comfortable.

To Qian Heng's surprise, before Qian Heng began to transcribe the content of the second exam, the gong sounded again in the examination room, and the questions of the third exam were also sent down together with the answer papers.

If "the benevolent invincible can be the king" is an introduction for Zhao Ji to test the candidates, then the next strategy is the result that Zhao Ji is most looking forward to seeing.

Zhao Ji advocates Taoism, which is a well-known thing, and even often meets and accommodates those Taoist masters after the harem to discuss the art of cultivating and refining pills with each other.

In this regard, Qian Heng could only smile bitterly.

Taoism has many theories worth pondering and understanding, and the Taoist proposition is also more suitable for the temperament of the Han people, but the Taoist theory is too thin, and the theory of Confucianism and Buddhism chooses to resist directly, rather than thinking of Buddhism, which is eclectic, integrates the strengths of many people, and gradually improves and grows.

Now there is Zhao Ji, who is extremely advocating Taoism, and even regards himself as the emperor of Taoism, there is such a person who helps Taoism to lift his spirit, many Taoist disciples began to be arrogant, and even in Bianjing City, they have become respected by Taoist priests everywhere, and even eating and drinking others are giving him face.

And the theme of this policy theory is the question of governing the country with Taoist doctrine.
