Chapter 63: Show off your skills

A group of examination officials sat in the lobby, all smiling at Wu Jie, who was sitting in the middle of the small square.

In front of Wu Jie is a small square table with the four treasures of the study room on it, and next to it is a lampstand, with a lantern on it, and the light is a little dim.

Now it's just Mao Shi, that is, four o'clock in Yanjing time in the future, and it's very dark. There was a cold wind blowing in gusts, making his sleeves flutter and looking even more interesting.

All the examiners laughed silently, only Wen Tongzhi was a serious person, with a straight face, and asked Governor Lin puzzled: "My lord, Wu Jie has his own examination house, why did he let him answer the questions in front of everyone?" ”

Governor Lin stroked his beard and said: "A while ago, there were rumors of plagiarism in Wu Jie, although after the Jinjiang Night Banquet, this rumor was self-defeating. It's a pity that only the official and not many scholars were present at that time. With Wu Jie's talent, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the government test. However, the government test is not very formal, and it can be said that I am waiting for a matter of one word, but I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public. Why don't you let him make the paper in front of the candidates in front of the whole house, and then paste the paper on the door of the examination room, and everyone naturally has nothing to say? ”

All the examiners nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Wen Tongzhi didn't think so, and said in his heart: This Fuzun was not born as a Jinshi, and he always felt a little embarrassed when he interacted with people in the officialdom. Since taking office, I always like to make some Shilin stories or something. It's really ...... to make such a show today It's really speechless.

This thought was already a bit damaging, Master Wen was originally a humble gentleman, and he didn't think much about it at the moment, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

The paper has been sent, and Wu Jie saw that this paper was much more formal than the county examination, and it had reached the standards of the chapter test and the autumn examination, and it seemed that Governor Lin attached great importance to this exam.

Like the paper in the autumn, the paper of the current Kefu test is more than 20 centimeters long and about 156 centimeters wide, with a total of three pages.

There is a red box on it, and each page is fine, and each line is twenty-five words. In ancient times, there was no punctuation required to write an essay, that is, the essay was a total of 900 words, and the candidate had to finish what needed to be written in this space.

Writing essays is a matter of beginners who feel that it is difficult to write because they do not read enough or have shallow learning, as if there is nothing to write. At this time, Mr. usually requires students to reach a certain number of words in each essay, even if it is made up.

When the student's experience is enough to see, the knowledge has arrived at home, and the pen is also sharpened, and the pen is sprinkled with thousands of words, like can't be collected, but can't grasp the point.

At this point, the teacher will ask the students to do their best to remove unnecessary words and cross out irrelevant content in order to highlight the topic. Therefore, at this time, the teacher will ask the students to express the richest content in the most likely words.

In this way, the article is considered a masterpiece.

When it came to the imperial examination room, an eight-strand essay was divided into eight parts: breaking the question, undertaking the topic, starting the lecture, starting, starting the stock, middle stock, back stock, and bundle stock.

This paper is only about 900 words, that is to say, there is only a few dozen words of room for maneuver in all parts, which requires extremely high candidates' ability to control pen and ink.

In this regard, Wu Jie has nothing to worry about, anyway, he has memorized a lot of model essays recently, and it is enough to pass the test by taking out one of them. Now we just need to think about which one can meet the appetite of the prefect and the examiners.

The first session of the current examination is an eight-strand essay, entitled "It is qi, the greatest and the strongest, and it is harmless to be directly raised, and it is stuffed between heaven and earth", which is the same as in real history.

This sentence comes from "Mencius", which means: This majestic qi is the most majestic and strong, cultivate it with integrity, and do not harm it, then it will be filled between heaven and earth.

It is also the most representative sentence in Mencius's thought, and anyone who has been involved in Chinese culture is familiar with it.

Similarly, this sentence was often used as the title of the Bagu essay in ancient times.

Judging from the model essay in Wu Jie's hand, there are at least 100 articles, ranging from the champion model essay to the papers of the ordinary township examination.

Now, all he had to do was pick a suitable transcript and put it on.

The resources at hand are limited, and the principle of one less article is used for famous articles. Forget about the champion model essay and the famous essay, Wu Jie originally planned to get a random township test article, but after thinking about it, he always felt that something was wrong.

As for what is not good, he can't say.

Lifting the kettle and filling the inkstone with some water, Wu Jie slowly grinded the ink.

At the beginning, his heart was still a little chaotic, and there was no discipline when he grinded the ink. But as the ink ingots moved in circles in the inkstone, the heart gradually calmed down. I just feel that all my thoughts are grinding along these mysterious circles little by little, blending between heaven and earth.

For a while, there was no more trouble, only the sound of Huo Huo came continuously, and it could not be stopped.

The heart was ironed thoroughly and smoothed, too.

"Why is it so quiet?" Wu Jie was already immersed in this special atmosphere, and suddenly realized this sudden silence, and suddenly looked up, only to see that in the surrounding examination room, all the candidates did not move, but looked at him blankly. It seemed to be waiting for him to be the first to write.

"Dare not be the first in the world!"

A voice exploded in his heart, and Wu Jie almost jumped up, immediately understanding what kind of article he should write.

Yes, although Baguwen had a very bad reputation in later generations, it was considered the number one killer of imprisoned thoughts. Some people even say that this thing has no thoughts, no thought-provoking, and third, it lacks beautiful words.

But as far as Wu Jie has seen, the eight articles of famous artists are strict and the artistic conception is profound.

The works of Wang Yanming and Zhang Juzheng in the hands of Bagu Wenhao are simply a masterpiece of art.

As said in "The Outer History of Confucianism", if the eight-strand article is done well, whatever you do, if you want poetry, you will be endowed, it will be a whip and a mark, and a slap and a palm blood. If the eight-strand article is not exquisite, whatever you do, it is all wild fox Zen and evil demons.

The work, or the writing of the article, must conform to the laws of art, and because of the strict rules of Baguwen, the writing is required to show their talent as much as possible in this rule, which is the real ability. Bagu is the style of the exam, and the test is the level of text control and logical ability.

To put it bluntly, it's a show-off.

The reason why Governor Lin made such a big move just now and let Wu Jie compose in front of everyone was to let Wu Jie do his best to show off his talent.

"In this way, Governor Lin wants me to be the head of the case." Wu Jie was shocked in his heart: "If you don't copy an article that is enough to make all the people who pick thorns speechless, won't you live up to the prefect's expectations?" ”

"Talent, am I lacking Wu Jie?"

"I won't copy ordinary articles, I will copy famous articles if I want to. With absolute power, subdue all the way! ”

After Wu Jie finished grinding the ink, he stood up abruptly and blew out the lantern beside him in one breath.

Then he picked up his pen and wrote on the paper in the dark.

"People in the world are angry. Those who are angry are just the hair of the heart. ”

This is the problem solving.

Overnight.
