The entrance inspection was extremely strict, and just after the entrance search, more than a dozen people were escorted out by General Nalang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Qian Heng, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally didn't care about this, and after a body search, he was arranged into the examination room to wait for the exam.

In the examination room, several silent signs were erected.

Seeing this scene, Qian Heng couldn't help but laugh secretly, he really didn't expect that Uncle Zhang would actually put the quiet card that he traveled on weekdays in the examination room.

However, this also shows that this Uncle Zhang is really informal.

With these quiet cards, it also made the atmosphere of the entire examination room a little more serious, sitting in their respective positions one by one, sitting upright, and no one made a single move.

All the places of the examination are set up with reed mats, and between each position, there are more than five feet apart, and under the mat, a table and a chair are placed, and there is nothing else.

Candidates entered the venue one after another, and after all the candidates were seated, a gong sounded, and the exam officially began.

When many candidates began to prepare for the study of ink, there were officials who distributed the examination papers and draft papers to each candidate in turn, and soon after, there were officials who walked back and forth in the examination room twice holding a wooden board with the scientific examination questions written on it.

Today is the first session, and the content of the test is scriptural.

Among them, one article on semantics, one article on Mencius's righteousness, and one article on the righteousness of the Great Classics.

The meaning of Confucius and Mencius is to directly take a sentence from the 'Analects' and 'Mencius' as an interpretation, and the test is the candidate's familiarity with the scriptures.

Although the Great Classics also involve Confucian and Mencian articles, the scope is much wider, involving the Four Books and Five Classics and historical biography articles, and the content of the assessment also gives candidates a lot of space to explain their own views.

The most difficult part of this is the assessment of this great scripture, if the topic of the scripture is too obscure, it will even directly stump most candidates.

However, the inscription of the Great Sutra this time is not difficult, "Don't complain about the sky, don't worry about people".

This phrase was first from the Analects and also appeared in Mencius.

The three scriptures, from the inscriptions of Confucius and Mencius, are not stressful for most candidates, and for Qian Heng, it is even more so.

After determining the inscription, Qian Heng immediately wrote out the article on the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius, and finally copied it to the examination paper.

After writing the scriptures of Confucius and Mencius, Qian Heng set his eyes on the inscription of 'don't complain about the sky, don't care about people'.

In the Analects of the Confucian Confessions, it is recorded, "Don't complain about the sky, don't care about people, go down to school and go up, and those who know me are heavenly?" ”

And in 'Mencius, Gongsun Chou' also said, "Mencius went to Qi, and asked Yu Lu: If the master is not careful." The day before yesterday, Yu heard that the masters said: A gentleman does not complain about the sky, and he does not care about people. ”

Don't complain, don't worry about people.

Just looking at the literal meaning, Qian Heng doesn't need to think much to know that this is the attitude of Old Master Confucius towards things. To put it simply, it means that if you don't complain about heaven and earth, don't resent others, even if others can't understand it, you can understand the profound truth by learning the most ordinary knowledge.

If Qian Heng didn't know Zhang Shuye's state of mind at this time, and answered directly with this meaning, it would not be wrong, at least the entire tone and context were good. Be ambitious, introspective, and not look at everything from a worldly perspective, and you can also learn the depths of the essence, and this statement will not be wrong anywhere.

But Qian Heng knew that Uncle Zhang's mentality at this time was not to the extent of not complaining about the sky and not being particularly human.

Zhang Shuye was very dissatisfied with the status quo of the traitors in the imperial court and hated him. For the depravity of today's generals, he hates them even more and hates their incompetence.

In other words, the injustice of heaven and the unancient hearts of the people are the mentality and cognition of Zhang Shuye about the current situation at this time.

Therefore, what this sentence refers to, and what is really relevant should be the moral of Mencius.

If the master is uncertain, the key to what Uncle Zhang really wants to embody is in this sentence.

If you want to persuade me not to complain about God and not to others, then you must know what I am unhappy about and unhappy about.

The core meaning of this inscription is that I am very unhappy, and I should not persuade me even if I complain.

Qian Heng couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth slightly, this adult was really a little confused, he was not happy, and he dared to come out as an exam question so seriously.

I'm afraid that in this way, many candidates will fall into the pit of Uncle Zhang's question.

However, Qian Heng's angle of solving the problem did not follow Zhang Shuye's intention, but wrote a sentence directly.

"Complaining about the sky, it is better to seek straightness in the song, if the heart is uncertain, it is better to change the place."

The meaning of the whole article, to sum up, is to say, instead of complaining here, don't let you turn a corner, seek straightness in the song, if you feel uncomfortable in your heart, you might as well look at it from a different angle.

The entire examination paper of the Great Classics was directly written by Qian Heng into a letter to persuade Uncle Zhang.

Once you have a draft in mind, you can write it much faster.

By the time Qian Heng finished writing the volume, it was just past noon.

Seeing Qian Heng standing up, a servant immediately came over and helped Qian Heng put away the roll and scratch paper.

Qian Heng's actions here attracted the ideas of many candidates.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, there were many people who had brought food and were sitting in the examination seat to eat, but when they saw Qian Heng actually handing in the papers so early, many people had a surprised expression.

It's too early, isn't it?

Especially Feng Chang, there were three candidates separated from Qian Heng's examination seat, and when he saw Qian Heng handing in the papers, a trace of disdain flashed on Feng Chang's face. If it weren't for the rules in the examination room that didn't allow him to speak out, I'm afraid Feng Chang would have ridiculed Qian Heng at this time.

Even so, Feng Chang looked at Qian Heng's back, and the trace of disdain on the corners of his mouth was already about to reach the root of his ears.

In general, the township test is to paste the name, that is, to paste the name and surname of the candidate at the front of the paper, and even find someone to copy the content on the paper onto a brand new roll paper.

As the chief examiner of this township examination, he directly chose to cancel the process of transcription.

By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, cheating was a common practice, and the so-called transcription procedure did not play much of a circumvention role. Therefore, Zhang Shuye directly chose to give up this procedure and only pasted the candidate's name.

As the main examiner of this township examination, Zhang Shuye was still a little scrupled, so Zhang Shuye did not sit in the examination room, but let the two magistrates and judges of Ying Tianfu be responsible for the primary selection papers.

After the name is pasted, the paper will be directly submitted to the two for review.

When they saw the interpretation of the Confucian and Mencian scriptures, the two nodded almost at the same time, and they were very appreciative of these two scriptures.

Only when it came to the content of the third great scripture, the faces of the two showed a look of crying and laughing.

The pusher surnamed Xu shook his head for a while, "Lord Chang, you see, this candidate's great scripture and righteousness article, a good article expressing his aspirations, was actually written as a review article, this~"

That Master Chang smiled, "This candidate's article itself is not bad, but it is a little off-topic, and leave it to Master Zhang to decide!" ”

Xu Tuiguan hesitated before nodding, "It's okay, the question of Lord Zhang's exam question is already a bit weird, so I have to make a judgment after Lord Zhang reviews it himself!" ”
