Chapter 56: Three Consecutive Trials
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) Thanks to the bookworm and the reward of the Los Angeles Taishou~)
Xie Shen had a good impression of this Yuyao classmate, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "Brother Han came so late, I thought Brother Han wouldn't come to participate in the government exam." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Han Hao laughed and said, "Brother Xie is joking, Han just forgets nothing and can't forget to participate in the government exam." However, Han saw that Brother Xie came to Fucheng early to prepare for the exam, so he should be the first to take the prefectural examination, right? ”
Han Shen's county test results are not bad, only ranked behind Xie Shen and Xie Pi, and his strength is naturally extremely strong. When Xie Shen heard this, he had a faint taste of challenge. This is nothing, as long as it is fair competition, Xie Shen will not be afraid.
"Brother Han, is this going to fight with someone? If you lose, you can have a meal of wine and food! ”
"I heard that this government examination is the governor's personal examination, and my generation should do our best, and we must not lose the face of Yuyao students."
Han Xian's words were very atmospheric, and he did not emphasize his personal ranking, but stood in the position of Yuyao students to cheer everyone up. The few people present, except for Wang Shouwen's slightly inferior knowledge, the other three are all top imperial examination talents selected by Yuyao County, if they can't carry the banner to Yuyao to give a long face, others don't have to count on it.
"Brother Han is well-informed...... The governor has been in Shaoxing for more than half a month, and it is reasonable to take the main examination. ”
At this moment, I heard a squeak, and the gate of the school had been opened by the yamen public.
Several students immediately hugged them, but they were scolded by the public.
It was inevitable that there should have been an inspection, and after a "humiliating" body search by the yamen officials, these students were let in.
Xie Shen said lightly: "Brother Han, please." ”
"Brother Xie, please!"
Xie Shen and Han Shen walked in front, Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi followed behind, and a group of four people squeezed into the school with the flow of people.
Because Governor Liu personally conducted the examination, the school was redecorated, and even the rafters leading to the corridor were tied with red ribbons. Xie Shen sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that Governor Yao has done everything he can to please Governor Liu.
Officialdom welcomes you, does it have to be like this?
Bypassing the shadow wall in front of the school, Xie Shen came to the public who was distributing the wooden signs. After receiving his own number plate, Xie Shen went straight to the number house. This time, the location of the house is in the middle section, which is not as good as the county test. However, these external factors are not the key to determining the final test score, and they do not matter. However, Xie Shen inadvertently caught a glimpse of Sun Ruoxu's back. After Sun Dagongzi and Xie Shen were entangled several times, they turned into ashes, and Xie Shen could recognize them. It can be seen that Sun Ruoxu has lowered his profile a lot after the end of the county test list, and he didn't take the initiative to trouble Xie Shen.
Also, the reason why Sun Ruoxu was arrogant before was because his knowledge was still outstanding. But after being slapped in the face by the county test, how could he dare to show any dissatisfaction with Xie Shen, who had the head of the county test?
Even if he hated Xie Shen so much that the root of his teeth itched, Sun Ruoxu could only use some small tricks behind his back, but on the surface, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
The Ming Dynasty is an era that pays attention to strength, and for scholars, the results of the imperial examination are naturally the hardest strength. Xie Shen has always been a pragmatist, and everything he does is naturally the best choice made after careful consideration.
Sitting down in the house, Xie Shen took out the food, pen and ink, and inkstone in the wooden basket.
It's just that this time the person who sorted out these for him changed from Shui Yun to Erya Little Lori. Although Xiao Lori is not as stable as Shui Yun and a little arrogant, she still won't have problems in key things.
Compared with the county examination, there are only three examinations in the prefectural examination, which are two in current literature and one in poetry.
In this regard, Xie Shen was still a little unhappy. After all, he has a lot of poems in his head, but there are not many words that can be used directly. At first, he learned that Yao Zhifu himself liked poetry, so he judged that the poetry test would be the focus of the government examination. However, due to the temporary replacement of the chief examiner to Governor Liu, the examination venue naturally changed. This pot really can't be thrown off the Yao Governor's Mansion.
Now, I have to take the exam.
Xie Shen only hoped that Governor Liu's topic would not be too biased and weird.
Hearing a crisp bang, Xie Shen knew that it was the government official who came to give the question.
He respectfully accepted the test questions tied with red rope from the officer, and tried to calm his mind.
The government test, like the county test, is not obscured, which means that the examiner can clearly know who made each test paper. Xie Shen has now left a good impression in the hearts of Governor Liu and Governor Yao, and he doesn't have to worry about being buried at all. What he has to do now is to give full play to his best strength and strive to get the first place in the government examination.
Opening the test paper and looking at the line of small letters on it, Xie Shen almost laughed.
"Therefore, the prince is a matter of Wu."
This title is from "Mencius: King Hui of Liang", King Xuan of Qi and Mencius had a dialogue, Mencius advocated getting along with neighbors with benevolence, the big does not bully the small, and the small can do the big. And Mencius admired the practice of "the prince is a man" and "Gou Jian is Wu".
The day before yesterday, when Xie Shenwen was in the book, he happened to read this paragraph of "Mencius", and carefully read the annotations made by Wang Shouren, which can be said to have hit the topic. More importantly, Xie Shen had the impression that Tang Xianzu seemed to have written a current article with it as the title.
Although Xie Shen couldn't remember all the articles written by Tang Xianzu, he could still memorize the general content tacitly.
Picking up the pen and dipping it in ink, Xie Shen began to wave the book.
"The two gentlemen's affairs are also great, and the wisdom is enough......"
The beginning of this is a shock, and the full text of the roll call is intended.
The two monarchs were King Tai (the father of King Wen of Zhou) and Gou Jian, and Xie Shen directly expressed his appreciation for them.
"King Fu and Gou Jian are both wise in seeking the country, and their affairs are very good. And since ancient times, the king of overlords has not forgotten the big plan without starting to be angry, not yielding, and wise. Wisdom is a big thing, and Yu Taiwang and Gou Jian see it...... Small things are big, and they have always been. Now there are neighbors like a mantle, please be the king; There are neighbors such as Wu Ye, please for Goujian. Otherwise, I will steal for fear, and the wise will not do it. ”
Xie Shen added some of his own understanding to the whole article, and wrote it in one go.
The imperial examination is sometimes like this, and the ecstasy in the heart of the subject is difficult to describe in words.
The prefectural exam is different from the prefectural exam, which is only three times and is a consecutive. And even the test post poem is a written test, not an interview.
Xie Shen doesn't need to wait any longer after answering the first question, he just needs to expand the second question and continue to answer it.
He slowly unfolded the inscription paper, only to see a line of ink written on the inscription paper - "Yang Yang is developing, and all things are extremely high in the sky".
