At the end of the day, the gong sounded in the Tribute Courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This heralds the beginning of the official exams.

The inspector began to read out the discipline of the examination room, and the speed of the reading was not very fast.

After the inspection officer finished reading, the gong sounded again and the test papers began to be distributed.

The test papers of the township examination are transcribed overnight, and the candidates do not need to bother to transcribe them, and the transcribed test papers are only the test questions, and the answer sheets are sent down on another paper, and the candidates cannot answer the questions on the test paper where the test questions are copied, and they need to do the questions on another paper.

Wu Fanhui was the first to get the exam questions, and the smooth distribution of the test papers started from the No. 1 examination booth.

"Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule their country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you should know it first; To know in the object, the object and then to know, to know and then to be sincere, to be sincere and then to be honest, to be honest and then to be right, to be honest and then to be self-cultivating, to cultivate and then to Qi family, to be a family and then to govern the country, and then to rule the world to be peaceful. ”

"A family is benevolent, a country is benevolent; One family, one country; One man is greedy, and the other country is in turmoil. ”

"There is a way to make money, there are many people who live, there are few people who eat, those who are sick for it, and those who use it are comfortable, then the wealth is enough. The benevolent make a fortune, and the unkind make a fortune. There is no good benevolence, and there is no good righteousness; He who is not righteous will not end; There is no treasury wealth, and there is no wealth for it. Meng Xianzi said: Animals and horses don't notice the pecking of chickens; The house of ice cutting does not raise cattle and sheep; The family of the hundred multiplication does not gather the ministers; It is better to have thieves than to have ministers who gather. This means that the country does not take profit for profit, but also for righteousness. Those who grow up in the country and use money will be a villain, and they will be good. The villain makes the country, and disasters come, although there are good people, there is nothing like it. This means that the country does not take profit for profit, but also for righteousness. ”

This is the Book of Rites. The articles in "University" can be said to be something that every reader should keep in mind.

This kind of exam question, on the surface, is very easy, you can write a large amount of arguments, I don't know how many sages in ancient times made special discussions on this, but if you think about it seriously, it is by no means so simple.

The first examination of the four books and five classics of the township examination is the most critical, and the article is also the most important, the more people in the world know the truth, the more difficult it is to really write an article, because you can't have your own ideas, the truth is placed in front of the Ming, needless to say that everyone understands, and among the readers, there can be no controversy about self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, so how can the article you write out, how can it be brilliant, so that the examiner can see the article, but it is a reproduction of the views of the ancients.

That's why this kind of question is the most difficult.

In the face of such exam questions, it is easy to excel, that is, you have rich accumulation, sufficient preparation, can put forward unusual views, and have your own understanding.

It is easy to say, how difficult it is to really do this, you must know that these candidates have no experience in politics at all, and they almost read books every day, ignoring their ears, and only reading the books of sages and sages, but they have to make extraordinary expositions on self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, which is indeed a difficult candidate.

Wu Fanhui finished reading the exam questions, with a comfortable smile on his face, he won the bet again, it can be expected that the chief examiner of this township examination is the imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate.

Wang Xiang's content, he memorized all the content, but in the article of the township test, there must not be the slightest reflection, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble, and if Wu Fanhui is so stupid, he will not become a little Sanyuan.

Whether it is from the perspective of being a person or from politics, there are many things worth learning from a few hundred years later, and the rise and fall of history is by no means clear in one or two sentences, but it is still possible to learn from some things borrowed from it.

Wu Fanhui did not rush to write, the first exam took three days, there was a lot of time for thinking, the article of the township test, the emphasis is on one go, write one part to stop and think, and then write another part, that is not true, and there are strict requirements on the number of words, 1,000 to 1,500 words, less is not good, more is not good.

When encountering such a question in the township examination, it should be said that many candidates are happy at first, thinking that this eight-strand essay is not difficult to write, and even some people may be very proud, eager to start writing, because the mind is full of the teachings of the sages, but the candidates who really have the knowledge behind them will immediately feel the difficulty, the simpler the question, the more knowledge contained in the back.

Wu Fanhui, who has crossed over, is not only a college graduate of a key university hundreds of years later, but also a civil servant working in a special department, and loves history, so he has more contact with these aspects.

How to integrate these understandings and write them into this crucial eight-strand essay is a question that Wu Fanhui needs to think about seriously, time is enough, and what needs to be done now is to summarize and integrate many understandings, so that they can be effectively combined and truly integrated into the article.

After more than two years, Wu Fanhui certainly knows what taboos there are, what can be said and what cannot be said, what content can be written into the article, and what content cannot be displayed.

After a full day of thinking, Wu Fanhui did not start writing, this situation is very rare, even the patrol officer has paid attention to Wu Fanhui several times, presumably thinking that the little Sanyuan in the first examination room of this young first examination room, why did he not start writing for a whole day.

Early the next morning, Wu Fanhui woke up, refreshed, and he finally began to write.

What taboos should be avoided in this eight-strand article, and what should be said in the key points, Wu Fanhui's mind has matured, and it will be much smoother to start writing.

"Eat the people's food and wear the people's clothes, the people can be deceived, and they are also the people; It is not honorable to gain an official, and it is not disgraceful to lose an official, not to say that an official is useless, and the place depends on an official. ”

This couplet is the core of Wu Fanhui's entire eight-strand essay, covering the whole idea, not only requiring officials to love the people, but also emphasizing the importance of local officials, which can be described as comprehensive.

In the article, Wu Fanhui cleverly put forward requirements on how to be an official, he will not say too obviously, after all, he has never been an official, that is, at the age of fifteen, if he teaches others how to be an official in the article, wouldn't it be shocking, as for the couplet, it is easy to explain, after all, it is easy to understand the common language, although there is not much literary style, what can be said is the truth, if you pay attention to local things, you can also come up with it.

After the article was written, Wu Fanhui read it carefully several times, and he himself felt that this was the best eight-strand essay written since the crossing, if this article could not attract the attention of the examiner, it would really be a bit wronged.

In the next second and third exams, Wu Fanhui's performance was much calmer.

The second exam is a judgment, and the strategy of the third exam is similar to the content of the first exam, which is also about local people's livelihood and personal cultivation, which is easier to write.

In fact, not only Wu Fanhui, but also the other candidates in the examination room, feel the same ease at the moment, if they think that their first exam essay is very good, most of their emotions are high, and they can easily cope with the second and third exams.

The only thing that annoys Wu Fanhui is to cook by himself, the Gongyuan has prepared charcoal and braziers, but when you need to cook, you have to make your own fire, in fact, candidates come to the Gongyuan to take the exam, many of them come with wheat cakes, dry wheat cakes can be stored for a short time, when eating, just bake them on the fire, Wu Fanhui's requirements are higher, and he also brought millet, and he always eats wheat cakes a little unbearable.

At the end of the last exam, when packing up things, Wu Fanhui carefully looked at the examination shed where he had stayed for ten days, the quilt had been folded very well, and there was no garbage left in the examination shed, the only uncomfortable thing was that there was a faint smell of excrement, which could not be avoided.

When the gong sounded, it was already the unitary hour of September 14.

The door of the examination shed finally opened again, and Wu Fanhui walked out of the examination shed and stretched his waist.

The examination room is still very quiet, although all the candidates have walked out of the examination shed, but no one speaks, let alone loud noise, the discipline in the examination room is very serious, as long as the candidates are still in the examination room, whether it is the beginning of the exam, or the end of the exam, must be quiet.

All the candidates are very tired, walking out of the examination shed, they just clasp their fists to each other, at this moment everyone is the same, completed the most important thing, and then it is time to relax and wait for the time for the release of the list.

The candidates began to line up, each carrying something to bring to the tribute institute in their hands, and some candidates had very few things in their hands, obviously throwing away some things, to prevent the examination booth from being cleaned by a special person.

Wu Fanhui is the No. 1 examination shed, naturally at the front of the team, under the leadership of the inspector, walked towards the outside of the examination room, after a long road, Wu Fanhui saw the gate of the Gongyuan, and also saw countless candidates, who were walking out of the Gongyuan from the gate.

Outside the Gongyuan, there were already many people waiting, even more than the number of candidates.

When Wu Fanhui walked out of the tribute courtyard, before he had time to search, Wang Baofu squeezed forward.

"Young master, the banquet in the Taibai Restaurant has been prepared...

"Okay, wait and see, Brother Wen and Brother Changhong should also come out, let's go to the restaurant together."
