In the blink of an eye, the date for the Dao test at the end of February has arrived. According to the usual practice, Fang Yingwu went to the county seat one day in advance and lived in Xiang Chengxian's house. From this point of view, the great grandmaster pressed Linchun'an, and the local children were still stained, so there was no need to go to the city for reference.

Facing the first level of zuihou in the third level, which is also the level of completely changing from a second-class citizen to a first-class citizen, Fang Tongsheng is still relatively calm. Everything that needs to be done has been done, and we just have to wait for the results.

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Yingwu carried the examination basket and waited outside the gate of the county school for roll call. In a sense, the Taoist examination is the official beginning of the imperial examination, and the county examination and the government examination can only be regarded as a pre-qualification examination.

Inspection methods such as taking off shoes and removing hair buns have also made a grand appearance in the Taoist examination, destroying the emotions of candidates who are about to enter the scholarly class.

With the flow of people, Fang Yingwu passed the door and slowly entered the examination room. Last year's county exam was also taken here, and this time the layout is not much different from the county exam, with neat tables arranged in the open air on both sides of the road.

Fang Yingwu found a seat according to the test paper number he received, and began to close his eyes and recuperate. I don't know how long it took, a few drums sounded, and the centralized road test in Chun'an and Sui'an counties in the fourteenth year of Chenghua began.

Fang Yingwu opened his eyes and saw two small officials holding exam question signs, shouting questions while walking back and forth on the road.

The Taoist test and the county test and the government test are also two questions, but they are different, one is a four-book question, and the other is a five-book question, unlike the county test and the government test, which are all two four-book questions.

If you don't have your ears, you can read the brand, and if you don't have eyes, you can listen to the shouting. Fang Yingwu is relatively close to the road, which is enough to see the title on the sign. I first saw the title of the four books, which was clearly "Sex is Difficult to Do".

this topic. Fang Yingwu's mood fluctuated a little. A few days ago, he just came home from the tired academy, and he was in a state of madness (Sister Lan's words). once wrote an article "Sex is Difficult to Happen".

Today, I met a familiar topic, of course, it is a good thing, as if there is a sense of pleasure in betting on the topic, which is a good omen! As long as you copy the original article the day before yesterday, and those who are engaged in the article know that what is written in a state of madness is often of the highest standard.

But Fang Yingwu was not happy immediately, but a little heartbroken, this kind of excellent luck similar to betting on the question might as well appear in the future township test or above! In this kind of test that has opened up the joints, I encountered familiar questions. It's a waste of resources!

After sighing and sighing, Fang Yingwu went to look at the Five Classics questions again, and then found that there were only two Five Classics questions.

The first is "Qi Xi Invites the Old, Jin Hou Asks the Heirs", from "Spring and Autumn"; The second is "The Love of a Gentleman is also Virtuous, and the Love of a Small Person is also Appeased", from "The Book of Rites".

Suddenly, the whole examination room was in an uproar, because the Five Classics questions were very abnormal! As mentioned above, the Four Books are compulsory courses for scholars. The Five Classics are elective courses, and only one of the Five Classics can be selected to specialize, such as Fang Yingwu is to govern the "Spring and Autumn Period".

Of course, "Spring and Autumn" and "The Book of Rites" are the two most difficult classics. Nowadays, very few people choose to study these two books.

In the examination of the Five Classics, questions must be asked in each Sutra, which means that there must be five questions in the Tao test. Candidates only need to choose the questions of their own scriptures to answer.

But now in this Taoist test, there are only two questions in the Five Classics: Spring and Autumn Questions and Rite Questions! Other words. Without the other questions of the Three Classics, how can you not make the candidates in an uproar! Most of them don't rule "Spring and Autumn" and "The Book of Rites". How to answer the question?

Immediately, another official held up a sign, and the sign mentioned the notice of the school official to give an explanation-

"In recent years, morale is impetuous, and there are many people who are greedy for simplicity, and many scholars do not practice "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites".

Therefore, he ordered all the students to study the "Spring and Autumn" and "The Book of Rites", and in this examination, the four books were used to select the scholars, and the five classics were used to determine the rank.

Those who can write the parallel texts of the chapters where the titles of "Spring and Autumn" and "Etiquette" are located are allowed to supplement the dieters; Those who can write can be allowed to supplement and increase the number of students; Those who can write strategic arguments are allowed to be attached to the students. ”

Seeing that this time the four books were used to select scholars, and the Five Classics questions were only a reference for the fixed ranking, all the candidates gradually calmed down, and there was no disaster in the examination room.

The arbitrariness of the following examinations in the township examination is very large, and it almost depends on the personal interests and wishes of the examiner, which can be seen in general.

Grand Master Li Shishi did not take the usual path this time, using the excuse of avoiding the loss of the scriptures and righteousness, and used the "Spring and Autumn" and "The Book of Rites" to set the ranks, and at the same time can write chapters and compile the eight-strand texts as the students who can write the eight-strand texts, and those who can write the strategies and theories should be attached to the students.

This is a great thing for Fang Yingwu - he is precisely the one who governs "Spring and Autumn"!

The predecessor of Fang Yingwu before crossing it, nothing else, rote memorization is okay, a copy of "Spring and Autumn" is hard for him to memorize, so now Fang Yingwu is no problem to write "Spring and Autumn" silently. As long as you compile another eight-strand article, then you can directly act as a food servant after entering the county school!

However, it is said that the county students are divided into three classes, and the first level is the food student, who receives the national grain; The second rank is to enlarge the students, and the status is a little lower; The third rank is attached to the student member, and the status is lower.

Those who have just entered the school after the examination can only serve as an attached student, and then do well in the annual examination and other examinations, so that they may be promoted to a meal or a student enrichment.

Now that the Great Grandmaster has done such an ingenious play, Fang Yingwu is very surprised and surprised, and his heart is as happy as eating chilled watermelon on a June day.

Zhong Xiucai is not a surprise, he is already mentally prepared enough, but Zhong Xiucai does not have to work hard to upgrade, and directly becomes a first-class food eater who receives a national subsidy of six buckets of grain every month, which is definitely a big surprise.

Moreover, it is easy for the students to obtain the qualification for the township examination, which is not as uncertain as most of the enrichment students and attached students.

You must know that the qualifications for the township examination are also limited, and everything is fine if you win the show. Chun'an County may have more than 100 talents, but no more than 40 can participate in the township examination.

Fang Yingwu couldn't believe it a little, could it be that the Great Grandmaster took the initiative to repay the favor? When we met secretly the day before yesterday, we also briefly chatted about my studies.

If it was indeed deliberately done by the Great Grandmaster, then he was really a very delicate and creative person in a small place, and this kind of timing could be created out of thin air, worthy of being a person who was so creative that he dared to rebel with King Ning decades later.

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Yingwu pressed his mind and began to write and answer the paper. The process was very smooth, and the four books were written quickly; But the Spring and Autumn Question wasted a lot of effort, and after silently writing the chapter where the topic was located, it took another two hours to come up with an eight-strand essay.

After the transcription was completed, Fang Yingwu got up and handed in the volume, and his own clerk collected the volume and pasted his name. The chief examiner, Grand Master Li, left Fang Yingwu behind and asked a few words, which was counted as an interview.

Grandmaster Li asked: "There are the most two characters in the Analects, and with this as the topic, you can try to break it." ”

This is a small test of the eight-strand text jishu, Fang Yingwu is average throughout the big article, but he still has a little experience in the first few sentences, and immediately imitates the eight-strand text to break the question format and answers: "Pifu is the master of the hundred worlds, and in a word, it is the law of the world!" ”

Grandmaster Li asked again: "With your name Fang Yingwu as the theme, how to break it?" ”

Fang Yingwu thought for a while and replied: "The surname Fang is the foundation of life, and the name Yingwu is the way of life!" ”

This problem is broken to mean that you must be a square person, and you must respond to things in everything Grandmaster Li Daxiao, waving his hand to let Fang Yingwu leave.

There were a few children who came from the county examination and the government examination with Fang Yingwu and saw this scene, and they were envious in their hearts.

Although this person is young, he is really the pride of the sky, and the three levels of the county exam, the government exam, and the road exam are all left by the examiner to talk and interview, what kind of good chance is this?

It is enough to make a small name if it is passed on, and at the same time, can the person who is valued by the third-level examiner be bad? must be regarded as a desirable talent. If nothing else, there must be a name on the list of questions in this test! (To be continued.) )
