Hearing Zhao Ruxi's words, Mrs. Cui was completely relieved.

It seems that Zhao Ruxi still has to participate in the examination. It's just that she didn't want to let the gentlemen of Guozijian be blamed again, so she didn't go to Guozijian to take classes.

Zhao Ruxi said this problem, Mrs. Cui also felt a little difficult to handle.

When people live in the world, they must always think about others and not be too selfish.

Although the eldest princess of Shangde went to the palace to beg for a beg, the emperor may agree to let the gentleman of the Guozijian guide Zhao Ruxi again. But what is difficult for a strong man is not what a gentleman does. Once the eldest princess of Shangde opened her mouth, the emperor and the gentlemen of the country would definitely have a great discount on Zhao Ruxi.

"Master, rest assured. I had expected to encounter this situation after the township examination, so I asked all the questions I had encountered. Without their guidance, maybe the ranking of the test will not be too high, but it should be no problem to pass. Zhao Ruxi said.

In fact, the form of the questions in the township examination and the general examination is similar, and they are all written policy theories. It's just that the depth and breadth of the political affairs involved in the court are different. The palace test after the examination is just a formality, as long as you can try, you can basically be an official. Therefore, the questions of the examination will all involve the government at that time, and you need to put forward your own opinions and suggestions on a certain government policy.

Zhao Ruxi was originally only slightly deficient in the form of writing articles. After all, she is not a person who has been writing classical Chinese since she was a child. Although he memorized the Four Books and Five Classics because of his good memory, he did not have a wide range of ancient texts and was slightly deficient in the use of allusions.

In the past two months, several gentlemen of Guozijian made some book lists and asked her to borrow books from Guozijian to make up for her shortcomings in this regard; and found fault with her in the way of writing and words. Because of this, she was able to write an impeccable essay in the township exam.

After making up for the lack of knowledge in this area, she has no major problems in writing articles. The only shortcoming is that he is not familiar with the government of the Great Jin Dynasty.

For example, if they will try to come up with a question, let them discuss the issue of water conservancy. Zhao Ruxi did not understand the water conservancy of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he could not raise targeted problems and then solve them. The article is very vague.

So in the past six months, she doesn't need gentlemen to give her guidance on how to write articles, but she should pay more attention to the political affairs of Dajin.

In order to reassure Mrs. Cui and Princess Shangde, Zhao Ruxi told Mrs. Cui all these questions.

Mrs. Cui was suddenly embarrassed.

She and Princess Shangde don't care about current affairs, and they can't help Zhao Ruxi in this regard. The gentleman who wanted to come to Guozijian couldn't answer these questions to Zhao Ruxi, after all, none of them participated in court politics.

Zhao Yuanxun is only a six-rank official, he is not qualified to go to the court, and his time as an official is still short, so he can't help Zhao Ruxi in this regard. Kang Shilin can't either.

"Your three senior brothers are all officials in the imperial court, and they must be familiar with these every day. Why don't you ask them? She proposed.

Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "This is not very good. ”

These questions will not be clarified in a moment. The three senior brothers are busy, where do you have time to explain these things to her?

"I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has any books or materials about all aspects of the Great Jin Dynasty? There are also newspapers from the past few years. If there are no books, Di Bao is also the thing that can best understand the situation of the Great Jin. ”

Mrs. Cui perked up: "Okay, I'll talk to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and I'll also find someone to help you find out if there are any books on this subject." Di Bao should be fine. ”

When they started the newspaper, they also looked for a few issues of the newspaper to study. She knew that the eldest princess of Shangde had a mansion newspaper in her hand.

Zhao Ruxi nodded, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he got up and said goodbye.

Two days later, the newspaper collected by Princess Shangde and Mrs. Cui had not yet been delivered, but Zhao Ruxi received a large pile of information from Wang Tong.

In addition to the articles of the top 20 in the last four township examinations and the general examinations, there are also articles in every issue of the newspaper in the past five years, as well as a type of article written by courtiers when they handed over their recitals to the emperor.

Xiao Lingyan said in the letter that he went back and asked the people who were going to take the exam, and knew that Zhao Ruxi might need these things. He asked someone to collect and send it, hoping to help Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi's heart suddenly warmed up.

It's not the same if you have a boyfriend. I don't have to worry about anything, that person will take you to heart, and he will think of everything before you.

She wrote back and praised Xiao Lingyan greatly. I hope he can keep up the good work and keep working hard.

Next, she received some books and newspapers sent by Princess Shangde and Madame Cui.

These books include agricultural books, Gewu theory, miscellaneous notes, and travelogues, all of which record all aspects of the situation and customs of the Great Jin Dynasty, and are also of some help to Zhao Ruxi.

She was happily reading a book, and Kang Shilin called her over.

Kang Shilin said: "Master Peng sent someone to ask, why didn't you go to Guozijian during this time?" A couple of gentlemen there are asking about you. Ask if you don't want to take the exam. ”

Zhao Ruxi's heart was warm again.

There are still many good people in the world.

She told Kang Shilin about her concerns and her plans.

Kang Shilin nodded: "You're right." They are bent on being good to you, and you can't ignore them. ”

He thought for a moment: "Well, I'll tell them that they will give you a copy of the questions they give students to examin, and they will send them to me." You wrote an article according to the title and sent it to me, and I will help you send it to Master Peng, so that they can help you correct and give you guidance. In this way, gentlemen can say to the outside world that it is a hindrance to my face, and it is difficult to refuse; They're not specifically here to guide you. If you take a detour like this, it will have less impact on them. ”

Zhao Ruxi was grateful, stood up and bowed deeply to the master: "Thank you Master so much." ”

"There should be a lot of books and articles on the Yamen of your three senior brothers, so I asked them to sort them out and send someone to give them to you."

Zhao Ruxi was overjoyed and saluted again: "Thank you, Master." ”

Regarding the policies and practices of the imperial court in terms of employing people, Zhao Ruxi does not know much about it.

For example, the official recusal system.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a "three-mutual law". In the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Cai Yong", there is a record that "the three mutual marriage families and the people of the two states are not allowed to interact as officials". The existence of such constraints has resulted in some prefecture and county officials not being selected in a timely manner, but to a certain extent, it is conducive to getting rid of the interference of the personal relations of the rulers on politics and promoting political clarity. Later dynasties mostly followed this principle, but with varying degrees of leniency.

Is the Great Jin Dynasty the same as this regulation of the Eastern Han Dynasty in this regard, or is it different?

If she didn't understand, she would be completely blind when she came up with this kind of question when she tried it. No matter how well you write your article, you don't know the policy of the imperial court, and you can't write why.
