Cheng Yuan thought to himself: "The time has come, so of course there are only nearly three hours left before the end of the unitary time, and you have to start writing anyway." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He recalled for a moment, and suddenly remembered the matter of the Taige body.

From about the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy gradually began to become popular with a font, which should be neat and upright, horizontal and vertical, stroke by stroke, to look at a glance as if it was printed. But it is not the kind of character based on Song style that is really engraved, but a neat small block.

Just as classicism not only refers to music, but also to literature, sculpture, painting, etc., the Taige style does not only refer to calligraphy, but also a literary creation style.

In Chengyuan's view: although for the creation of poetry, the Taige style did not leave a high evaluation in history because of the excessive praise of merit and uniformity, but for calligraphy, the Taige style is a functional thing, she is not only the work of the bureaucratic system to write, but also is a necessary skill to participate in the examination, I have to say that the entire Ming and Qing dynasties have made a great contribution to the history of the six hundred years.

"I, Cheng Kuiyuan, twenty-three years old, can I imitate the Ming Dynasty's pavilion body?"

His mind flashed back to the past of Dengzhou, and remembered Cao Zheng's praise when he saw him practicing pen: "This line and the few words of the son are quite neatly written." ”

How harsh is Cao Zheng's character? Since he said "it's still neat", it is estimated that his words are really neat, at least in the era of the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it should be like this.

"Cao Zheng is afraid that my handwriting is too neat and too old-fashioned and will incur Wang Renyu's disgust, but in fact, I am afraid that this may not be the case at this time," Chengyuan thought to himself, "From Yongle to Xuantong...... Ah no, in fact, it should have been until now (of course, the "now" where Chengyuan was born), history has long proved that all teachers like to read exam papers one by one, Wang Renyu is a person, not a monster, of course, it is no exception, although the literati will claim that they only want to see this font, that font in order to pretend to be B.

After all, Wang Renyu likes to read manuscripts, and he also likes to engrave them. ”

Chengyuan knew that if Taige wanted to look good, the ink should be black enough, so he took the ink cartridge that had dried up again and began to grind the ink again.

It just so happened that a pure black official came in at the gate of the field, this person was very young, but his position seemed to be higher than that of the other people in the field, and when he walked up, Chengyuan guessed that this person might be a Zhongshushe. The young official saw that everyone was meditating or writing hard in the battle, and only Chengyuan was laboriously grinding ink, which was quite conspicuous, so he walked a few steps and saw that his paper was snow-white.

The man simply stood still, looking at him with a mocking expression.

Cheng Yuan was a little angry by this person's face, and he thought to himself: "You kid is sitting in a high position at such an age, didn't you rely on nepotism?" Or is it by my father's family? Recalling that Cao Zheng's poems to him were more than simple but not exciting, he simply wanted to change to a guy who could make a splash and shock the guy in front of him.

The first poem should be made to be Wing Chun, and there must be the candidate's perception of success or failure, Chengyuan did not hesitate to write:

In March, the remnants of the flowers fall and bloom,

The small eaves are flying every day.

Zigui is still crying blood in the middle of the night,

If you don't believe in the east wind, you can't call it back.

Although it does not have the strong sense of praise as ordinary poems, Wang Ling's ode to spring is full of positive meaning, as if inspiring himself and the whole country: perseverance will eventually achieve great things. For the Central Plains Dynasty, which has just been turned upside down by the Liao State and is waiting to be reorganized, this poem is also appropriate.

And plagiarizing the poems of later generations, this can be regarded as "the most common deed of the traverser", needless to say......

Sure enough, the young officer nodded, then turned to look at the others.

Seeing that the words he wrote out one by one did have some meaning in the style of Taige, Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he hurried to fill in the other poems and scriptures.

Then there is the most difficult strategy, Chengyuan knows that this is the key link of the Jinshi test paper, never ignore it, Cao Zheng let the article he memorized be incomplete in his memory, the structure is incomplete and can no longer be used, Chengyuan has to see what the requirements of the question are?

Cheng Yuan looked at Na Ce first and asked one.

The policy said:

In the past, the saint Yuyu, in order to create a society, there is a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period: The king was ordered to control the first month of the year to rule the world. Six contract winds, Kyushu coherence also. At the beginning of this summer, the king inherits the industry of Zhongpi, solidifies the foundation of the king's industry, and guards it; The king set the life of Jiuding, the number of heaven and earth, and its progress. At that time, there were very few people who were self-reliant in the southeast, and the north was plagued by frequent internal disturbances, and the land of the four wars was also based on the king's industry. In the past, Shaokang returned to the summer with a weak brigade, and after three years of Guangwu, he rejuvenated the Han Dynasty,............ (omitted, I can't make it up) Jun is the system of Chen Suiyi.

Cheng Yuan said in his heart: "This policy is also a little white, in fact, it is, "The little emperor is very anxious, what do you say." Even those who are not good at breaking sentences are clear at a glance, it seems that the candidates of these five generations are really worrying, and even the Jinshi Ce of the imperial court has to lower his grade and surrender to the door. ”

He secretly recalled the cheat sheet that Cao Zheng asked him to memorize, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: When I first memorized the answer sheet, I didn't know what the topic was, but now when I saw the original question of the policy, I realized that what kind of policy is Cao Zheng forcing himself to memorize? What is "Pregnant Ten Directions Swallowing Nine Together"? What "St. De Fonghen"? It's not a pile of flowery rhetoric, or some nonsense that sings praises of virtue, since the scriptures, poems, and fu have all been tested, so why do you have to do these comparisons when you should make a strategy?

Looking at the second question again, it is to ask the candidates to discuss the degree of relaxation and proportion, and the third question is the issue of money and grain household registration, he thinks that the household registration statistics in the Later Han Dynasty are indeed a mess, and the imperial court must be one of the first two big. Several of the policies were to discuss specific issues, and it was clear that the imperial court was extremely worried about the future of the country.

There was an impulse in Chengyuan's heart, and he began to try to think.

"What if I did write something of my own? After all, the tribute test of the Sui and Tang dynasties is not the eight-strand text of the Ming and Qing dynasties, if it is the eight-strand text...... "Chengyuan said," Chengyuan said, "If I make eight shares, then of course it is not difficult to solve the problem, if I am asked to cheat in the case of a few books around me, then at most to piece together to the beginning of the talk, at the beginning of the beginning, each of the bundles of shares must have two sets of pairs to closely follow the theme, and can not be separated from the four books and chapters and sentences set notes." It's too difficult to write about the bundle in this way. ”

He thought again: "But the Sui and Tang dynasties did not have all kinds of constraints, so I simply poured out all my oil and water, no matter what the level was, the finished product was a complete structure." ”

This time the plan was decided, Cheng Yuan stretched out his legs and rested for a while-although he had practiced kneeling in Dengzhou for many days, he had never insisted on five or six hours after all, and then closed his eyes and recalled the format requirements for writing articles, and then began to think about it.

"The time has come for ......"

There were still four hours before the end of the unitary time, and the young official had just turned around in a small circle, and at this time he had already circled back, and when he came to Chengyuan's side, he saw that Chengyuan had finished writing the poems and scriptures so quickly, and he couldn't help but stop again.

"Minister's right:"

Cheng Yuan wrote the first two words on the side of the policy.

However, as soon as he had written four or five lines, Cheng Yuan suddenly felt that the speed of the people around him became faster, and he couldn't help but look up, only to see the person in front of him staring at the name of his curly head (Note 1).

Suddenly, the young official stretched out a hand and opened the family plate in the corner of the case, and the three generations of names in it were all empty.

Cheng Yuan didn't expect that the people in the examination room would start directly, and he was still a little surprised, and the young official was reading words in his mouth again, obviously whispering a few lines of strategy he had written.

"Humph!"

The man made this sound, and pointed to Chengyuan's nose and said, "Okay! Good! Very good! ”

Cheng Yuan was inexplicable, the man had already turned around and walked away......

……………………………………

At this time, in the backyard of the Ministry of Rites, in a large house on the top of a five-interval hill, the door of the rightmost darkroom was locked. Inside, several officials were sitting on one side of the gable. The person in the middle was dressed in the clothes of a second-class official, and he pursed his lips at this time, looking at his expression was really nervous.

This person is Wang Renyu, the chief examiner of Zhigongju.

After all, being able to be the main examiner of the provincial examination is the most glorious thing in a person's life, Wang Renyu knows that he was the first master of Liang, and he was taken captive by the regime of the former Shu royal family and had to be a second minister. After the destruction of the former Shu and the succession of Meng Shu, he returned to the Central Plains again, and finally became the so-called "three ministers".

After all, Wang Renyu is not like Feng Dao, although he has a lot of things to do and his heart is fat, he has been ashamed for half his life, but he is really reluctant to abandon his career to "return to the mountains and forests".

Therefore, in his later years, as a "three ministers", he was appointed by the Later Han Dynasty as the chief official of the science field, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. He was grateful for the trust placed in him by the imperial court and the luck bestowed upon him by God.

However, Wang Renyu clearly knew that the emperor was not really in power, but only "participated in politics", although the nominee for the main examination was the young emperor, but the real approval of himself was the four major orders of the first emperor, especially Guo Wei.

He knew that this session of Penshenko's tribute test was almost the key to his life's coffin conclusion, and he had to live up to the mission of the imperial court, but he had to take care of the interests behind Jiangmen and the four major lives. At this time, the examination room of Jinshike is about to end, and as long as there is no big mess, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

It's a pity, with a rush of footsteps, the lock of the door was suddenly opened, and the chief examiner was temporarily closed in the backyard of the tribute courtyard before the gong ju exam, which is obviously the rule of this dynasty, what happened today? He felt a little flustered, did something happen?

The door opened, and a young man in black hurriedly walked in, it was the same person who had just watched Cheng Yuan answer the question.

Wang Renyu and other examiners were shocked when they saw this person, and everyone quickly knelt on their knees.

"Your Majesty Renyu, I respectfully invite Your Majesty the Holy Communion Jin'an!"

Chengyuan actually guessed correctly just now, this young official family is really a "family that relies on his father......

Note 1: In the Five Dynasties, there was no obfuscation system, and the names of candidates were publicly displayed.
