The township examination is the same as the general examination, the most important thing is the first exam, that is, the so-called four books and five classics of the scriptures and righteousness exam, the first exam is of decisive significance, and the following strategies and the like are foils, unless there are special topics, there will be special significance, which directly affects whether to be selected, but this will mainly appear in the palace examination, because the emperor will personally check a part of the test papers, looking for talents who meet his own wishes to grant official positions.

Among the topics of the Four Books and Five Classics, the most important thing is the three questions and four book questions, and among the three questions and four book questions, the most important question is the first question, so whether the first question is done well, whether the article is well written, and whether it can attract people's attention is the most important, and this year's first question, four words, there is a way in the world.

Zheng Guang is no stranger to this topic, when he was brainstorming with Tang Shunzhi and Xu Fat, Tang Shunzhi had this question, this question came from the "Analects", there is a way in the world, then the Lile conquest comes from the Son of Heaven; There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes. Since the princes, Gai Shi Xi is not lost; Since the doctor, the fifth generation is not lost; The courtiers are in charge of the country, and the third world is not lost. There is a way in the world, and the government is not in the doctor. If there is a way in the world, people will not discuss it.

To put it bluntly, it's still a big truth, or a reason, it's a lot of flowers, and it's good to speak completely for the saints, don't have your own ideas in it, the sharper you are, the less hope you have to be taken, this kind of dignified and upright topic, the most taboo is the sword to go to the edge, if you intercept the question, forget it, anyway, people are also sword to go to the edge, you go to the edge again, no one can say that yours is not, but if you face the question with a complete topic, you go to the edge of the sword, it is not in line with the basic spirit of the imperial examination.

You must know that the imperial examination is to select talents who are "old and seeking the country", if you are too different, you will be directly rejected by this rigid officialdom, and the closer to the officialdom is to the examination, the stronger this repulsion, so at this time, it is necessary to restrain the edge and never excite the text.

After more than ten years of orthodox education, Zheng Guang and the king of the exam Tang Shunzhi's teaching, Zheng Guang naturally will not make low-level mistakes, thinking that Tang Shunzhi is the first to take the exam, if his grades as an apprentice are too poor, it is too embarrassing for the teacher, and with his current status and reputation, as well as the students' respect for himself, Zheng Guang feels that if he does not do well in the exam, it is really difficult to explain to them.

Therefore, at this point, the quality of test scores is no longer just a matter of one person.

Zheng Guang carefully drafted, carefully solved the problem, until about the time of Hai, many students have slept, Zheng Guang extinguished the candle, took off his coat, wrapped in a quilt, and fell asleep in that comfortable posture, about three hours, Zheng Guang has completed the first draft of the three and four book questions, tomorrow is the manuscript and transcription, the day after tomorrow to complete the remaining four five scripture questions, the five scriptures he read, very simple, nothing new, it seems that the main difficulty is still in the four book questions.

The difficulty of this question, Zheng Guang felt that it was much higher than the township test, just the first draft of the problem-breaking part, Zheng Guang revised it three times, and finally achieved the effect of satisfying himself, so he fell asleep with confidence, before falling asleep, Zheng Guang glanced at the rest of the examination booth, and found that there were not a few people who lit up the night battle, such as Li Chunfang next door, before Zheng Guang fell asleep, the candle on his side was still on, and it was estimated that it was not smooth.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zheng Guang got up early, and saw that the Jinyiwei standing guard next to the examination shed had changed a person, and when he was about to wash, he found that there was a lot of ice slag in the water tank, but it was not frozen, so he knew that this Jinyiwei was quite conscientious, got some water to wash, and then went to the thatched house under the supervision of this Jinyiwei, solved yesterday's inventory, and came back to cook noodles to eat.

After boiling the water, I added soy sauce to it, knocked an egg, and rolled the noodles by hand, a simple soy sauce noodle soup was completed, and I also looked at the brocade Yiwei stunned, last night was too sad, Zheng Guang was very hungry, and he ate up the noodles by dividing it by two, and drank the noodle soup cleanly, which is the so-called original soup into the original food, after washing the tableware, he sat down, the hot feeling has not passed, and he didn't feel cold at all, it was a good time to write an article.

About half an hour later, Li Chunfang woke up in a daze, last night when he was working on the draft in advance, he encountered some difficulties, this time the test questions are much more difficult than before, Li Chunfang also encountered some small obstacles, last night almost in the second half of the night when the lights went out to rest, but fortunately, the first draft of the three articles has been written, and today it is not difficult to polish and polish, and it is not difficult to get the three questions and four book questions.

After getting up, Li Chunfang felt that the cold was biting, in the past in winter, this was the time to eat some hot breakfast to increase body calories, but these days are obviously not possible, Li Chunfang is a person who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, he doesn't know how to cook at all, of course, he can only bring dry food, but when he is the coldest, the body is very eager for heat, so when Li Chunfang wrapped his coat to wash, he saw that Zheng Guang was already sitting in front of the board to write articles, and there was a cup of steaming hot water on the table, and he couldn't help but be enviousWhat if you had a survival skill yourself?

But before he could look more, he was shocked by Jin Yiwei's stern eyes, and hurriedly walked to the water tank, looking at the ice water full of ice slag in the water tank, he was distressed for a while, and regretted that he didn't take a little time to learn how to use a small pot to make a fire to boil water, at this time, even if there is a cup of hot water, it is good.

Zheng Guang saw Li Chunfang's distressed appearance, and knew why he was distressed, and had the heart to give him a bowl of hot water to warm his body, but he didn't know if doing so would violate the rules of the exam, so he softly called the brocade guard: "Little brother? Little brother? ”

When the brocade guard heard someone calling, he turned his head, and when he saw that it was Zheng Guang calling himself, he frowned, feeling strange, thinking that no one had ever dared to call a brocade guard directly, but remembering the special identity of this man that the captain said when he was assigned last night, he was patient, walked up to the front and whispered: "What's the matter?" ”

Zheng Guang poured out a bowl of hot water from his thermos, and then brought the bowl to the Jinyi guard: "Little brother, I am friends with the man next door, he has a bad stomach and can't drink ice water, I don't know, can I give him this bowl of hot water to warm his stomach?" This is a porcelain bowl that I used, and there is no handwriting, you can check. ”

This brocade guard felt strange, he invigilated the exam three times, he has seen countless moves, and he has never seen a move to help others in the imperial examination room, although the imperial examination room does not explicitly stipulate that hot water cannot be given to other lifters, but in view of the possibility of passing cheating objects, it is forbidden to communicate between the lifters, they are these brocade guards who came here for this reason, Zheng Guang's idea obviously does not work, this is a very fatal thing, once there is a major event of cheating, he can't escape the involvement, so he simply refused:" This is impossible, I don't know if there is any mystery in your bowl, the candidate's personal belongings, absolutely must not have any contact with the rest of the candidates, this is the rule. ”

Zheng Guang also felt distressed, but in the blink of an eye, he saw the water scoop provided in the Tribute Courtyard outside, and said happily: "Candidates' personal belongings are not allowed, then the public items in the Tribute Courtyard should be okay, right?" Look at the ladle, I poured this hot water into the ladle, and you poured it into his bowl yourself, so it should be okay, right? ”

The brocade guard followed Zheng Guang's eyes, saw the water scoop, and his heart was clear, this is not to say no, the scoop of scooping water is a public item, and no one dares to do anything on it, and it is foolproof to personally send these hot water to another person, but this is also a responsibility to be borne, so, this brocade guard pondered for a while, then turned around and walked to the other brocade guard, and whispered something, the brocade guard looked at Zheng Guang and Li Chunfang, frowned, and then walked over in person, Chao Zhengguang said: "Do you really want to help him?" ”

Zheng Guang nodded: "He is a good friend, he has a bad stomach, he can drink hot water, try to drink a bowl of hot water." ”

The brocade guard directly picked up Zheng Guang's thermos, checked it carefully, and then walked to Li Chunfang's examination studio next door, and said to Li Chunfang, who had already heard the movement here and didn't know how to put his mouth with a bowl of ice water: "Count yourself lucky, you have a friend, take out the bowl." ”

Li Chunfang's heart was moved, and he hurriedly picked up his bowl and poured out the ice water, the brocade guard poured a bowl of steaming hot water for him, and looked at it in his bowl, and looked at Li Chunfang, Li Chunfang knew that this was to watch himself finish drinking, so as not to make mistakes, so he blew a few breaths and drank this bowl of hot water, and a warm feeling swept Li Chunfang's internal organs, and he breathed a sigh of relief, Li Chunfang felt that he was a lot more comfortable.

The brocade guard poured another bowl into his bowl, then returned to Zheng Guang's examination booth with the hot water bottle, returned the hot water bottle to Zheng Guang, and when he bent down, he said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "If it wasn't for the orders of the Governor, you would be unhappy for yourself by doing this, but don't forget, many people here are staring at you!" ”

Zheng Guang was stunned for a moment, his face was as usual, and he opened his lips slightly and said: "Thank you for the maintenance of the Metropolitan Governor, I will repay you in the future, but I have a clear conscience." ”

The brocade guard straightened up, looked at Zheng Guang with a little appreciation in his eyes, and left quickly.
