This question is always considered to have no final comment on the cheating, that is, this multiple-choice question is an officially scored question. [No pop-up novel network]

In fact, if you think about it, there is no possibility that this question can't be answered, even if it is a fool, as long as he casually ticks the alternative answer, it will be considered that the answer is complete, but Yang Shen looked horizontally and vertically, and couldn't figure out which answer was correct.

It's not a fool, but it's a talent, which shows that the person who asked the question himself has a bit of a problem. Yang Shen was very unkind, and then reluctantly ticked the first answer, anyway, the first two answers are still reliable, and the latter two ...... Oh my God, what and what is that!

Pinching his eyebrows painfully, Yang Shen looked at the movement around him again. At this point, he also understood, why the invigilation here is not strict at all, such a strange question, who can prepare a cheat sheet for the surname?

Write a good article? Transcribed classics? Or is it looking to copy someone else's answer? It's all nonsense, unless you bring all the words on the market, otherwise you can be just as blind as anything you bring.

Therefore, Yang Shen is not afraid of being regarded as cheating, if he doesn't look at the state of other people, he really can't control his lower and lower emotions.

Of course, there is no need to look at the brother sitting on the right, although he has done one more question, but seeing his shaking eyebrows, overjoyed appearance, obviously unsatisfied, or how to say that this person is debauched?

The one on the left didn't look at anything, Xiao Shizi's expression was extremely focused, his eyes were staring at the rolling paper without blinking, and the charcoal in his hand was also non-stop, obviously firmly attracted by the questions prescribed by the School of Mathematics, and he was working hard to solve the problem.

Those normal readers are mostly like Yang Shen, or looking left and right to find some comfort; or with a sad face on the roll paper, with a lawsuit; There are also a few people who grit their teeth and read words, and they don't know who they are scolding, according to Yang Shen's guess, they are scolding the examiner who made the question, but ...... That's an insult to the Son of Heaven, and you need to be cautious in your words and deeds.

Seeing other people's reactions in his eyes, Yang Shen suddenly thought about it, he was already an open-minded person, and with the example of Li Zhaoxian, he felt that he seemed to have figured out something.

The emperor has always been known for his whimsical style, except for Xie Hong, no one can keep up with his train of thought, so instead of thinking about the deep meaning of the questioner, it is better to answer according to his heart. The academy spent so much time and energy in order to recruit scholars for the emperor and talents for the country, how could it just be used as a joke?

He is strong, he is strong, just if the breeze blows on the hills, he is horizontal, just like the bright moon shining on the river, spoofing is any spoof, I regard myself as a floating cloud, let him go, let him go...... So, Yang Shen came to his senses.

This enlightenment, those originally bizarre topics are not difficult, isn't it just what you think about the current foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty?

Very good? Almost? Can it be improved slowly?

That's weird! If the emperor thinks it is good, how can he treat Korea and Ryukyu like that, and set up a Japanese governor's palace?

Obviously, the emperor wants people to choose the last answer, the big fist is the last word, if you don't accept it, you will hit him, look at it, what a distinct style of righteousness, that's it, Yang Shen waved his pen and hooked it directly, Yitai looked relaxed, and he had the style of his master in the cabinet.

Isn't that ...... Yang Dacai wrote like a god, and quickly completed all the multiple-choice questions, and the next question was a short-answer question.

After reading the first question of the short-answer question, Yang Shen's expression became solemn, not because the question was too strange, but the other way around, the question suddenly became serious, and the seriousness even surprised him a little.

"The ancients said: Make the old have an end, and the strong have a usefulness......" first quoted a sage's words, and in this test paper, this is the first time.

“…… Q: How can we provide for the elderly? ”

This topic is so big that it can be used as the subject of the imperial examination. If it was in the past, Yang Shen would naturally quote the scriptures and write a flowery article, detailing the cliché of using the way of the sage to educate the people, so that everyone can be polite and abide by morality, and then achieve the great harmony of the world.

However, even without considering the emperor's disdainful attitude towards etiquette, as long as he thought of what he had seen and heard in Tianjin, Yang Shen knew that the previous answer was incorrect.

Morality is a good thing, but this thing is only suitable for being used as a code of conduct for oneself, and it is not suitable for asking others, let alone the people of the imperial court. In fact, if we strictly pursue it, there are many contradictions in the words of the saint itself.

Confucius often used fame and fortune to teach his disciples, but in fact, what did this Confucian sage do when he traveled to various countries? Isn't it just to seek an official position, and then soar?

Scholars may argue that the sage of Confucius was for the benefit of the people of the world after entering politics. However, the person who went to defend the country and took refuge in the eunuch carbuncle of Wei Linggong was not this master? Walking through the back door, through the castrated back door that was spurned by his later generations of disciples and grandchildren, isn't it just to seek officials?

Ji's retainers Gongshan Buwu and Yanghu conspired to rebel, Gongshan Bufu sent someone to invite Confucius, but he was eager to try, if it wasn't for Zilu desperately blocking it, and the two people who rebelled quickly failed, maybe they would have been killed by someone as a chaotic party.

Zhengde and Xie Hong don't read sage books, and they don't know these allusions, but who is Yang Shen? This prodigy has been reading the classics since he was a child, and he has doubts about these allusions.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Shen wrote two words next to the title, of course, he used not charcoal, but a brush, which contained his strong emotions, so they were also thick and colorful, and the power penetrated the back of the paper.

There is more than one serious question, and it can be said that all short-answer questions are in a similar style. Not only Yang Shen's expression was solemn, but the pen in Li Zhaoxian's hand also slowed down, and when he frowned and thought, the rich solemnity between his eyebrows was not under Yang Shen at all, and it was obvious that this Shoufu son was not exactly a cynical prodigal.

"There are vast territories and endless wealth overseas, if you want to grab it, what is the best strategy?"

"There are people in the world who are rich but don't know how to apply the law, and there are people who are poor but good at management, how can they get what they want and not waste?"

Yang Shen combined with Tianjin's experience and experience, and compared them one by one, he felt that the knowledge was broad and profound, not to mention one or two hours, even if he exhausted his life, he may not be able to find the most correct answer.

Stringing these seemingly simple questions together is actually the way to govern the country and the country that scholars talk about every day, but scholars rarely study it. It is enough to oppress or enslave the common people in the name of morality, so why bother to study such a profound question? Wouldn't it be better to use that time to do a little bit of fun?

The change of concept is so sudden, so thorough, even Yang Shen himself is surprised, maybe from the moment he stepped on the boundary of Tianjin, he was destined to follow his former self and his former beliefs, and then go in the opposite direction, right?

The short-answer questions are much more difficult than the previous ones, and Yang Shen is also unable to determine the answers to many questions, but his spirit is becoming more and more excited, and his emotions are becoming more and more excited.

Although Governor Xie acted a little extremely, his understanding of statecraft was broad and profound, even if his ability was limited to asking these questions, it was enough to be commendable.

It doesn't matter if there is no answer, as long as you, as long as you are present and those who are not present, as long as you will continue to join the colleagues of this academy in the foreseeable future, as long as someone continues to explore in the heart of the country and the people, there will always be a day when the moon will shine, Yang Shen is convinced of this.

With this understanding, Yang Shen also suddenly became enlightened when he re-examined the exam paper, and it was obvious that the questions in the first half of the exam paper were all from the emperor, and the second half was from Xie Hong, so the styles would be very different.

Yang Shen still can't think through whether the emperor's questions in front of him have deep meanings, but he can be sure that Master Xie's attitude towards taking scholars and studying the way of governing the country is quite rigorous and serious, otherwise, he will not even question the new policy he has made.

"Many people know that the problem is extremely difficult to eradicate, even if Taizu deters it with torture, it is also a symptom but not a cure, during the Hongwu period, all kinds of gray income was popular in the name of regular practice, and then it was out of control. Now that Tianjin and other places have implemented new policies, the officials and others are full of enthusiasm and selflessness, but they are ......"

This is the last of the short-answer questions, and it is also the longest question, and it covers a wide range of topics.

"As the saying goes: just can't be long, soft can't be kept, relying on enthusiasm alone, although you can keep it at the beginning, but after a long time, people's hearts will inevitably slack, after the enthusiasm fades, the solid disease is bound to be reborn, since the test taker is interested in politics, what is the solution to this disease?"

In Yang Shen's mind, the image of the Tianjin officials is extremely tall, and those people are honest and honest, only the officials in the prosperous era recorded in the ancient books can be compared.

But when you think about it, this concern is also reasonable, all dynasties, but whenever the founding of the country, there will generally be a prosperous scene, which may not be comparable to Tianjin, but it is enough for people to pass it on from generation to generation and talk about it.

When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, entered Guanzhong, he also used the three chapters of the covenant to gather the hearts of the people, and then used this as the foundation to dominate the world. However, the laws became harsher, and the bureaucrats once again stood on the opposite side of the people, and corruption was not even a crime, so that it provoked countless upheavals, and finally ended the 400-year rule of the Han Empire in the smoke of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The other founding monarchs are not much different from Liu Bang, they originally went to fight for the purpose of the great harmony of the world, even if they consider more of their own wealth, but even if they are just making an appearance, they must behave like this, otherwise there is no way to gather the hearts of the people and transform them into the strength to sweep the world.

However, no matter how noble the original purpose is, after a few decades, the bureaucracy will quickly degenerate, corruption is only a small part of the sin, and the annexation of land and the oppression of the good will in the shortest possible time they will stand in opposition to the people, and even more despicable and depraved than the enemies they defeated in the first place.

This seems to be a dead knot.

The solution of Confucian scholarship to this was to strengthen the education of the common people and to strive to improve the self-cultivation of officials, which, according to them, would lead to social harmony.

However, for thousands of years, this farce has been repeated in a continuous cycle and never stops, and the people may not have enough awareness of this, but there are still many people of insight who see it in their eyes, but there is no solution.

No matter who he is, as long as he wants to solve this problem, there will be an extremely powerful opponent in front of him, even if he is in a high position; Even if you have a heavy army; Even standing on top of the dragon chair, he will also be defeated in front of this opponent.

Because he is dealing with the whole bureaucracy, these people are like a pack of vicious dogs, and if anyone dares to touch the meat in their mouths, they will fight back with their fangs and claws.

Yang Shen thought about it, but he couldn't think of a way at all, he originally thought that Tianjin's officials were already smart enough, as long as they kept it. But when he realized that no matter how upright a bureaucrat was, he was confused, was there really a way to solve this kind of thing?

He really wanted to know the answer, and the idea of entering the academy to study became more eager, he raised his head and looked north, although he couldn't see anything through the walls of the theater, but Yang Shen was thoughtful, he firmly believed that there would be an answer there.

You can't relax after completing the short-answer questions, because there are still below, otherwise how can you say that there are many questions? However, Yang Shen was relieved, he glanced at it at the beginning, and vaguely remembered that the last question was also a multiple-choice question, and it was also a multiple-choice question with indefinite items, and he now also had the experience of taking the test, the fewer answers available, the easier the question.

However, when he looked closely, he almost didn't exclaim, how did the style change back to the end? No, it's not that it's changed back, this style is even weirder than the emperor's whimsy.

Although the emperor's questions are strange, if you think about it carefully, there are traces to follow, Yang Shen even has some vague conjectures, but you have to read Journey to the West before you can reach a conclusion.

But now, these are completely cow lips and horses' mouths!

"You come to the end of the city and there is an exit, and you continue to walk forward and walk out of the city. Outside the city, you see a large garden, and you see a chest on the ground. What is the size of this box? Please choose between Small, Medium, and Large. ”

Nima, is this a tongue twister? Yang Shen couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"What is this box made of? Please choose between paper, wood, and metal. ”

…… Etcetera.

It is impossible to have an accurate answer at all, Yang Shen looked at Li Zhaoxian again, his brother was scratching his scalp, this was the first time he had shown such an expression in the exam, obviously he was also in trouble, and he was still in the same trouble.

However, Li Zhaoxian deserved to be Li Daxia, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then began to answer, looking at his smooth movements, it was obvious that he was ...... He moved with his surname.

Okay, seeing the sages and thinking together, Yang Shen also understood, since this is the case, I will also answer as I please.
