The top 20 in the general examination are all taken in the Bohol Palace, and the others can only be taken in the square outside the Bohol Palace.

Yang Tingjian was ranked first, according to the past practice, after Chongzhen came out of the question, he would go to the office and be invigilated by a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites, but today Chongzhen is very special, he personally invigilated the exam.

The other candidates could see that Chongzhen's legs were trembling and his hands were trembling, but Yang Tingjian didn't have anything to do, he smiled at Chongzhen, and began to look down at his test papers.

(The key point must be seen, the temple test questions are written by Chongzhen himself, which is the most real evidence to understand Chongzhen's heart, there is no one.) ）

After reading Chongzhen's policy and thesis, Yang Tingjian smiled even more, Chongzhen's policy and thesis topics are all in the vernacular, and you don't need much knowledge of ancient literature to understand its meaning, which is exactly what Yang Tingjian is best at!.

This strategy is not an eight-strand essay, and the same is true in the vernacular, the point is that what you say must be recognized by the emperor, and it must not make the examiner who reads the paper unhappy. The last test paper Chongzhen read was only ten points, which was recommended by the examiner.

The first policy is to say:

"The system said: Those who rule the world together are also scholars.

Today's scholars are not misbehaving, and they want to see the small quickly.

If you want a righteous person to learn the way of resumption, what can you do? ”

The gist is that it is those scholars who govern the world together with me, but today's scholars are not behaving properly (referring to corruption, etc.), and they only pay attention to doing things quickly, and they see small profits but big things do not accomplish, I plan to let all the scholars and doctors in the world establish a correct outlook on life, what is the feasible way? (All translations are original to Deciduous Leaves, if there are any inaccuracies, please leave a comment in the book review.) ）

To do a good job in this policy, the prime minister must analyze Chongzhen's thoughts. It can be seen from this policy topic that Chongzhen already knows that the current scholars have degenerated, and they are not successful enough. There are more than failures, and Chongzhen plans to let these scholars have both honest character and excellent work ability, and what is the way to achieve this goal.

I don't know how those scholars will feel when they see Chongzhen knowing the topic, especially the sentence "Today's scholars are misbehaving", which killed all the scholars with a stick. This also shows that Chongzhen is stubborn and confident, if this sentence is changed to "There are scholars who are not good at learning today." The meaning is completely different, and it becomes "some of the scholars today are misbehaving," which refers to a small part, not all.

Such a king was put on a mean and unkind hat after his death, which is certain, which also shows from the side that the relationship between Chongzhen and the scholar is relatively tense, and Chongzhen's political skills are there, but they are not mature enough.

Yang Tingjian pondered for a moment and began to write. Not even a draft was typed:

"The scholar and the Son of Heaven rule the world together, which is Your Majesty to remember the words of the sages, and it is the work of the Holy Son of Heaven.

Today, there are people who are not good at it, and they want to see the small quickly. No desire for speed, no small profits. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and if you see a small profit, you can't do a big thing, this is a handful of Sven scum, your majesty rules the country according to law, who can enforce the law strictly, and those who violate the law must be investigated. Since no one dares to misbehave, it is ......" (all the strategies are the original of the fallen leaves, and the vulgarity is forgiven.) ）

Yang Tingjian quickly finished the first question. Let's move on to the second policy:

"Dongyu belongs to me, the land is narrow and the people are outnumbered, once the soldiers are called Shun Bing Sanhan and do not defend it, why is it (yu)?" (Shun Bing, 1626 in the first year of Tiancong, Sanhan refers to Joseon.) They are Mahan, Jinhan, and Benhan, collectively known as Samhan)

The meaning of this sentence: Jiannu was originally a barbarian subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, with a narrow land and few people. But you can use soldiers to destroy North Korea, what is the reason?

This strategy is not difficult for Yang Tingjian at all. And other candidates are still scratching their ears and complaining about this, and they can't find a clue, these references, where they know that this is a national event, the Four Books and the Five Classics have used up all their time and energy, such a policy topic is beyond their ability, even if they can make it, it is empty.

And Yang Tingjian, a traverser, knows clearly the causes and consequences of Jiannu's ability to destroy North Korea, so this problem is done in one go. (The fallen leaves are directly vernacular, the brothers are tired of looking at the ancient texts, and it is also hard to weave the fallen leaves.) ）

Yang Tingjian picked up the pen and wrote "swish", to the effect that:

"There are three reasons why Kim was able to destroy North Korea, the first is that North Korea is weak and the army is unbearable. Second, Houjin was located between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, making it impossible for the Ming Dynasty to support North Korea. Third, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without authorization, so that Houjin had no worries, and also caused chaos and mutiny in the Ming army, which was the only one that could support Korea.

The last one is that Yang Tingjian is affirming Chongzhen's approach, this Yuan Chonghuan was ordered by Chongzhen himself, and Yang Tingjian's words are also equivalent to affirming that Chongzhen is not wrong to kill Yuan Chonghuan, and it also shows that Yuan Chonghuan himself is seriously wrong.

The last one will undoubtedly be appreciated by Chongzhen, in fact, after Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan, there are still many people who are crying out for Yuan Chonghuan, scolding Chongzhen for self-destruction of the Great Wall and for being a faint monarch, and Yang Tingjian's words can be regarded as saying that Chongzhen's heart has gone.

Chongzhen has been observing Yang Tingjian on the throne, and Chongzhen can stay and personally invigilate the exam, completely because he wants to see Yang Tingjian's strategy test paper for the first time.

Soon after the palace examination began, Chongzhen found that Yang Tingjian was already working hard to write, while the other candidates were thinking hard, Chongzhen suddenly became curious, so he walked to Yang Tingjian's side and quietly watched Yang Tingjian's test papers.

It doesn't matter if Chongzhen looks at it, just say that the policy topic that has been done before, it is simply that Chongzhen's heart is inside, and there is something to say, not an empty truth, such a strategy is really what Chongzhen needs, and such a talent is also urgently needed by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen originally wanted to applaud, but now it was exam time, so he still held back, continued to stand behind Yang Tingjian, stretched his neck and watched Yang Tingjian continue to do the following policy questions.

The third is the topic:

"At present, the three associations and Dengjin and other places, each have heavy troops to defend the east.

The enemy cannot be destroyed, the troops cannot be withdrawn, and the salary cannot be reduced.

If you want to destroy the enemy and restore the territory now, what is the best way to do it? ”

Roughly speaking:

As long as the enemy is not destroyed, the troops cannot be withdrawn, and the military salary cannot be reduced.

From this policy topic, it can also be seen that Chongzhen really wants to find a solution to Houjin, so to speak, only Yang Tingjian can perfectly answer this policy question correctly from the candidates who came to refer to it.

Yang Tingjian put down his pen and began to think about this question. At this time, Liaodong, Houjin had become the climate, they had conquered Korea, eliminated their worries, and at the same time could get food from Korea. Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan also broke a sharp knife placed in the abdomen of the monkey spirit, that is, it was beneficial to kill Mao Wenlong without authorization, which made Houjin have no worries at all.

Houjin, who has no worries, is at the peak of Bingfeng, and with half-baked warlords like Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou, they can also defeat Houjin, so don't dream.
