The tributes changed into dry clothes, listened to the sound of rain outside the hall, and sat down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The eight paper readers did not specify who was the leader, logically speaking, they were all the emperor's book readers, and the leader should be the Son of Heaven, but according to the rules, the paper readers also need to discuss seniority, and whoever has high qualifications will preside over the preliminary trial.

Eight volume readers, two of them have the highest status and are not up or down, one is the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, one is the bachelor of Hanlin, this Ministry of Rites is of high grade, although the Hanlin Academy is noble, but the bachelor is only the fifth grade, but in the Great Chu Dynasty, the qualifications are not counted like this, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy controls the Hanlin Academy, responsible for drafting the edict, promulgating the will, which is equivalent to the secretariat of the Son of Heaven, most of the officials in it are extremely noble, and they are the reserve cadres of the imperial court, and they may be promoted to become the Shangshu boss one day, or even become a higher-level left and right prime minister and the like.

From a practical point of view, the future of Du Xiang, a bachelor of Hanlin, is far more brilliant than that of Liu Xi, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but on the other hand, Liu Xi is a jinshi who has been in Xuanzhi for 17 years, while Du Xiang is a jinshi in Hongwen for 8 years, so Liu Xi's qualifications are still higher than Du Xiang.

Liu Xi coughed, glanced at Du Xiang first, and then said: "All students will take the high school exam, congratulations, today's palace exam, the old man can't help but say a few more words, first talk about the regulations of the palace exam." ”

In fact, compared with other examinations, the palace examination is the most relaxed, with few rules, and there is no soldier search, and there is no tense atmosphere at all, but it is like a gathering of scholars together, or listening to lectures in the six halls of the Guozijian.

Liu Xi began to talk about some rules, and then even he felt a little bored. Then he smiled slightly and said, "Don't say much, let's start the exam immediately, all the students prepare pen and ink." ”

The Gongsheng who sat behind the desk began to prepare in an orderly manner, wanting to sharpen the ink, but found that the ink had already been polished, so they spread out the paper and lifted the pen, and one by one they looked like they were going to put down the pen at any time.

In fact, this is also pretending, even if it is out of the question. Ordinary people don't write so quickly, and everyone is just to show a little momentum and be ready to go, so as to add a good impression to the readers.

After a short time, a eunuch took a holy decree and unfolded it and read: "The palace test question says: The way to control the barbarians in the country, and it is also said: I have ascended to the pole for ten and three years, and the barbarians in the north have been disturbed frequently, and they have become more and more intense. The barbarians saw that there was no one in the Celestial Empire, and attacked and harassed the northern towns day and night, and the people of the northern land suffered greatly......"

The topic of the thesis is often between 500 and 1,000 words, but the number of words is more. That's also empty talk, and the most important thing is the way to control the barbarians in the country, which is the main thing. In other words, the central topic of this strategy is to let the candidates write a plain strategy.

The Gongsheng listened to the question. Someone frowned, revealing joy. Some people have a bitter face, and they don't know how to write.

Barbarians, that is, the most serious Turkic plague is Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Hebei, so the candidates there can hear some Turkic news from time to time, coupled with the deep hatred of the people for the Turks, those who have nothing to do will inevitably have to make a lot of nonsense, pondering the strategy of controlling the barbarians, although it is idle eggs, but after all, this thing can inspire thinking, many candidates in Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Hebei are afraid that they have a lot of barbaric ideas.

But for the Gongsheng in other places, they have only heard of the Turks, and there is no so-called "skin-cutting" pain, who is full of food and pondering this? And this time everyone is guessing the question, thinking that this time the imperial court is either Liaodong strategy or water control, or homeless people, but there is such a "difficult" question, isn't it fatal? !

But when people come up with this topic, you can't afford not to take the test, the Son of Heaven will not reason with you, so let's be honest and nonsense.

Liu Fan listened to this topic, his heart was immediately overjoyed, he pondered, and then started writing, this test is half an hour, half an hour later, someone will hand in the paper, the first to hand in the paper is a candidate from Hebei, this person is like a teaching gentleman, it seems, more than 30 years old, like him at the age of the first to hand in the paper, it seems a little sloppy.

However, people who are well versed in the rules of the palace examination know that the person who is the first to hand in the palace examination has a certain advantage, and the teaching uncle from Hebei is obviously someone who has already clicked, this time it can be said that he is prepared, because most of the paper readers will have a tolerant psychology for the first test paper, and often will say a few words to the candidates.

The teaching uncle handed in the test papers, and then these lazy paper readers were in high spirits, one by one to pass the test papers, if you think this test paper is acceptable, then draw a circle, if you feel bad, then directly cross it, eight marking officers, at least six people have drawn a circle, barely able to pass the selection of this first level.

The examiners looked at the articles one by one and immediately gave the answers, and the teaching uncle stood aside and looked at it with a happy face, obviously his test paper was approved by most of the examiners.

After all the examiners drew up the results, Liu Xi smiled slightly and said to the teaching uncle: "You come here to answer." ”

The teaching uncle hurriedly stepped forward to salute the disciples, and said with a straight face: "Student Zhao Feng, I have seen an adult." ”

Liu Xi nodded his head, and then said: "Your article is not bad, you are from Hebei, I want to know the troubles of the Turks, you said in the article that it is better to kill barbarians than to punish barbarians, is this sentence your own understanding?" ”

Zhao Feng Zhengse said: "The student is from Hebei, and he has heard of the harm of the Turks for a long time, and all of this barbarian is a long-distance attack, and it is extremely vicious, but the student wants to come, although these barbarians are hateful, but after all, they are also people, and Zi said: 'Yidi into China is Huaxia, and Huaxia into Yidi is Yidi. 'The distinction between Han and Yi is about etiquette, so to control the barbarians, the imperial court certainly needs Chen Bing to deter, at the same time, it is necessary to step up education, this education is to punish the heart, punish its disgusting, and make it know the etiquette, in this way, the barbarian trouble can be leveled, and the north can be appeased. ”

His words were immediately exchanged for the approval of many paper readers, everyone nodded one after another, Liu Xi was even more praised, after all, he is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the matter of education naturally belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites has to highlight its own importance again, not to mention that Zhao Feng's reply is well versed in the way of the sage, Liu Xi encouraged: "Very good, it is better to kill than to punish the heart, and it is better to educate than to suppress." Go and sit and rest. ”

Zhao Feng happily went to rest.

Then Gongsheng handed in the papers one after another, and the eight examiners began to get busy, because the Son of Heaven was still waiting to play it in person, and the time was pressing, so he naturally couldn't delay, so the test papers were reviewed on the spot, and after another half an hour, most of the people had already handed in the papers, but Liu Fan was still silent.

Those who are interested will find that Liu Fan's policy paper has been written three times, the first time he was not satisfied, then put it aside, and then rewrote it, and he was still not satisfied, so now it is the third time.

It stands to reason that Liu Fan is a traverser, and it is easy to write out the strategy of controlling the barbarians, and the level can never be below Zhao Feng, in fact, Liu Fan's first two times of thinking coincided with Zhao Feng, and it was also written according to the purpose of education, but it was written and written, and Liu Dayuan felt panicked in his heart.

What kind of education, what kind of punishment, it's all bullshit, it's all a joke that deceives itself, those useless scholars may still be intoxicated with the so-called education, but Liu Fan is unwilling to be this useless scholar, he has been a human being in two lives, and he has personally faced the Turks, and he knows that the so-called education and punishment are simply a big joke in the eyes of these bandit-like barbarians. Clever people fool others, often even themselves are fooled in, but Liu Fan is a sober person, the first time he wrote the strategy, the level is definitely not bad, if it is handed in, it will definitely be able to pass, but after writing, he doesn't know what evil fire is in his heart, and he actually passed this strategy directly.

Liu Fan is not a guy with discipline, this thing is usually his Young Master Liu's night pot, use it when it is useful, and kick it aside when it is useless. But today he doesn't know what happened, when he wrote this heart-wrenching article, many scenes of devastation came to his mind, and there seemed to be a woman's wail, a baby's cry, and unbridled laughter......

He began to get anxious, and forced himself to write it a second time, still writing about his punishment and his edification! Reason still reluctantly defeated impulse, only in this way can we have a future, in exchange for a better future, he secretly warned himself in his heart, don't drop the chain at a critical time, and then silently read in his heart: "If you want a face or an official, if you want a face or an official...... If you have an official job, what do you want to do?"

"Holy!" Finally, he couldn't keep silent in his heart, and scolded in his heart, and then tore the second strategy to shreds!

Fortunately, no one noticed him, otherwise he would have been taken aback when he saw this Liu Dayuan, who had red eyes, cracked eyes, and looked like crazy.

At this time, Liu Fan's mind was calm, his eyes were also clear, his mind suddenly became clear, the pen walked the dragon and snake, in one go, after a while, a thousand words were written, but Liu Fan didn't seem to be happy, so he continued, wrote another three thousand words, and seemed to feel a little scratchy in his boots, very unpleasant! So he still put pen to paper, and wrote for more than an hour, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had written nearly 10,000 words freely.

Even he was taken aback by his speed, writing nearly 10,000 words in more than two hours, and writing with a brush that he was still not used to, he wondered if he was possessed by an Internet writer?!
