One, two, four, take the middle
Later generations say that the eight shares of the scholar are nerds, if this is true, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not be able to survive the Wanli Dynasty.
It is true that people at the time spent their energy on the eight shares, just look at the notes of the Ming people, and you will find that they are not only specialized in the eight shares, but also specialized in all kinds of tricks to die and eat, drink and have fun!
Ahem, and open the past dynasties of Cheng Mo, which article is not a substantial exposition of his understanding of politics, culture, and academia?
The purpose of "dead reading" is to "apply the scriptures". The use of Confucian philosophy to benefit the common people and maintain order is no different from that of later political parties - only the content of the philosophy has been changed.
If "dead reading" becomes "reading dead", you can barely get a studious name, but the predecessors who chiseled the wall and stole the light of the hanging beam and stabbed the stock were in front of the beauty, and I was afraid that even a martyr's archway could not be fished.
The most miserable thing is "reading the dead". This kind of person is not only ridiculed in later generations, but also the person most despised by Confucian scholars nowadays.
Confucianism can kill and die in the whole festival, but can starve to death without power!
You are incompetent, and you are guilty of slandering the Confucian students in the world!
Zheng Yue was angry and annoyed when he heard this: "Now I hear it, you rotten life, you don't understand the teachings of the sage!" Someone came, he was flogged fifty times, forked out of the field, and forbade him to end up for life! ”
There is indeed a clause in the Da Ming Law prohibiting examinations, but that is for cheating in the field and being deprived of merit for other crimes. As for Zheng Yue's current punishment, he was angry and didn't keep his mouth shut for a while.
Although it has no legal effect, it is estimated that the poor Spring and Autumn righteous warrior will really not dare to take the exam again.
It can be seen how important the work of popularizing the law is!
Xu Yuanzuo was so engrossed that he forgot to write an essay. It wasn't until the man was dragged down, and after a while, there was a crackling sound of thorns beating meat, that he suddenly remembered: Oh, don't forget the teacher's revised article!
From reading to the next exam, Xu Yuanzuo wrote only one eight-strand essay. Exactly: "The son makes the lacquer carving open". It's just that in the examination room, of course, you can't use what you wrote, but you have to use the version that the teacher has changed word by word.
Xu Yuanzuo has used such a high-end gold finger as the four-corner number, and the endorsement speed is not fast, but the accuracy is high. What's more, the article must have a rhyme, and the upper and lower are literal, so it will not be wrong to write it silently.
An article of more than 400 words. It only took half an hour to write on the manuscript paper, and then scribble and change it in a fake way, and then transcribe it onto the answer sheet with the real book of the pavilion.
After a while, Wan Xinrong moved to Xu Yuanzuo's seat, took the seal and stamped it on the manuscript paper with more than 100 words.
One of the most common tricks in the field of fraud is to replace the gunman's paper with the joints that are bought when handing in the papers. Since the manuscript paper is printed, the content of the answer sheet and the manuscript paper are different, and it is easy to find out the shortcomings.
It is said that this kind of cheating is far more than buying "joint words" and bribing examiners, which shows that the ethics of officials are indeed much stronger than those of officials. At the very least, the cost of acquisition is much higher.
After a while, the clerk of the ceremonial room also came over, squinting his eyes to look at Xu Yuanzuo first, and then to read the article on the paper. looked at it again and again, and saw that Xu Yuanzuo's face was numb, and it seemed that there were insects crawling all over his body, but he couldn't help but didn't speak for fear of violating the exam rules.
I saw that the clerk of the ceremonial room suddenly stroked his palms to the ground, attracting everyone's sideways.
- Are you here to tease me?
Xu Yuanzuo couldn't help but scold.
"County Honor! Just a great article has been discovered. I'm afraid it's the Golden Palace's roll call! The voice of the book of rites was loud, although it was speaking to the county honorable. But most of the exam room heard it.
Xu Yuanzuo's heart trembled: Is this pink or black? It's hard to distinguish for a while, and listen to his words, watch his deeds.
Zheng Yue was also steady, and said in a deep voice: "Scribe Yu, in the examination room, speak carefully!" ”
But the scribe did not lower his voice. only said: "The master only needs to bring the papers of candidates No. 586 of the first word, and you can see it at a glance." ”
Zheng Yue was secretly suspicious, but still said, "Go and bring it up." ”
Immediately, two officials followed the scribe Yu out, walked in front of Xu Yuanzuo, and bowed. Said: "Childe, the chief examiner is summoned." Then he took the scroll for him.
Xu Yuanzuo bowed lightly and followed the two of them.
Zheng Yue's entourage stood in the west room of the north three rooms, with a majestic appearance, saw Xu Yuanzuo, and looked at the scroll handed over by the scribe Yu, and his face remained the same.
Xu Yuanzuo only felt that his art of observing people had been mostly abandoned, and he didn't know what Zheng Yue was thinking at the moment, it seemed that he still needed to broaden his experience, especially to get in touch with some officials who were deep in the city government.
"This article is just ordinary." Zheng Yue gently pushed the article to the table.
"Master Mingjian!" The clerk of the ceremonial room hurriedly motioned for the county school to come forward and showed him the volume.
The old teacher is a lifter, over sixty years old, deaf and dizzy, and he can't survive a day in Shengzhi County. Although it is not in the stream, but it is also a scholar, the old teacher stepped forward and took the article, and the breathing sound that was originally whistling like a bellows suddenly became intense, and it suddenly became - big! Wind! Box!
This text is refreshing to read, and it is a model of using ancient texts into contemporary texts. What's even more rare is that the allusions are simple, the refining words are accurate, and the boya is Hongfan, which is really a good article that can fight when you get the Jinluan Palace! The old teacher put down the scroll and leaned forward: "County Zun, if this scroll is not red, everyone in the world will cry for it!" ”
"According to the custom, the instructor of the school department cannot read the papers, but you have accepted his benefits!" Zheng Yue said coldly.
"How dare you!" The old priest hurriedly bowed down and said, "The subordinates are just speaking a fair word in the body of Confucianism." ”
"Master, since the dynasty uses articles to make scholars, how can such articles make him lose their pearls in the wilderness." The scribe Yu said: "If you let Shilin get heard, won't it tarnish the reputation of the master?" ”
"Alas!" Zheng Yue suddenly sighed: "It's really grinding!" I told you earlier, don't enter this time, right? Now do you say to take it or not to take it? ”
This was said to Xu Yuanzuo.
Xu Yuanzuo still doesn't understand at this moment, it is clear that Zheng Yue arranged the actor to play a drama of "Don't avoid relatives in the internal move, and give generously to the head of the case"!
Since it's a drama, it's expensive with twists and turns!
"Teacher, the student is still young and unstable in reading, if he is lucky, I am afraid that he will be more impetuous in reading in the future." Xu Yuanzuo paused: "I said that I just came to watch the scene this time, not that I thought about it, so please let the teacher fall." ”
Scribe Yu hurriedly shouted, "Ah! It turned out to be a county honor! Famous teachers produce high apprentices, and I am not deceiving. He walked up to Xu Yuanzuo: "Brother Shi, you are mistaken!" ”
Xu Yuanzuo pretended to be ignorant: "Huh? Dare to ask for advice......"
"The articles of the children's examination will be published in the government and county schools in the future, and when the time comes, outsiders don't know why, seeing that you are so good, the papers are all gone, and none of the students who are enrolled are better than you, this is called Shilin, how to comment on the county respect? If you know the inside story, say that the county's honesty and integrity are comparable to the ancients, and then you have to say behind your back: The county is a big festival for its own reputation and regardless of the advancement of talents!
"If you don't know, I'm afraid you'll think that the county doesn't have the ability to read people!"
Xu Yuanzuo looked at a loss: "How is that good?" ”
Wan Xinrong watched Yu Tai play on the side, and said secretly in his heart: If you really want to take it, it's troublesome, it's a hundred dirty rolls! By the way, how can you let that guy take advantage of it?
Wan Xinrong stumbled forward, and a deep bow almost reached the ground: "Master, take it!" ”
Yu Tai saw Wan Xinrong come out to pick peaches, and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Master, take it!" How can you call the head of the case down! ”
The old teaching's blessing is very good: "Master, this volume must be the head of the case!" ”
Xu Yuanzuo just lowered his head deeply so as not to laugh.
"Yuan Zuo, since everyone is interceding for you, and thanks to your great progress in today's essay, I will take you first." Zheng Yue said: "But if a better article comes out, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the head of the case." ”
Xu Yuanzuo hurriedly said: "Everything is judged by the teacher!" ”
"You wait for the dragon gate to open and go out first." Zheng Yue said.
Xu Yuanzuo cleaned up his mood, bowed down, returned to his seat to pack his things, and sat down to eat the snacks in the box. It took more than half an hour before someone handed in the papers one after another.
Some of them can arrest people when they solve the problem, so Zheng Yue will read the paper on the spot and give a letter of "medium" or "not". If it is possible to enter or exit, then two more sentences of interview, some are in the middle and some are down.
Because Zheng Yue had long been willing to send more people to the government for the test, there were more people who were selected than those who were dethroned.
These people could not return to their seats, but only waited at the door, and when there were ten people, the officials would open the dragon gate and let them out, which was called a card.
When Xu Yuanzuo went out in the middle of this group, he still had powder on his lips.
