I have just read the thousand-character essay and the Analects, how much can I understand?

The Ministry of Rites did not dare to object, stretched out his hand to take it, and after bowing to each prince, he held the things to each prince according to his will. Purple Pavilion

"Please ask the Holy Counsel." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said to the emperor.

The ordinary imperial examination is similar to the scene seen today, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites also follows the rules of the imperial examination. Because there is really no precedent for the prince's palace test, and there is no way to find rules.

Tuoba Hong wrote a few words on a birth announcement, and Yao Fusheng hurriedly praised the decree again, circulated it to the courtiers one by one, and finally showed it to the princes.

The officials were very suspicious at first, King Zhao was six years older than the four princes, and the children's knowledge naturally had a huge gap because of their age, and I was afraid that no matter what topics were in the school, it would inevitably be unfair. However, after they saw the emperor's plan, they all showed expressions, and Prime Minister Zuo said:

"What is the meaning of the surname 'Tuoba'? Well, that's a fair question. ”

The four princes took their seats, and the attendants stepped forward to hand over pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and several of them began to write hard. The emperor sat on the top and was silent, while Empress Shangguan hid behind the curtain, and the hall gradually fell silent, and no breathing could be heard.

As a royal family, in fact, not only the royal family, but any big family, the education of surnames and genealogy begins from infancy. The children of the gentlemen may not know how to memorize the Tao Te Ching, but they will definitely remember the ancestors of the family tree for many lifetimes.

And the surname "Tuoba" and its meaning are known to everyone in the royal family. However, these two words are more complicated than ordinary surnames, because they are national surnames, and the royal family has added too many beautiful words to it in order to paste gold, and it is a little troublesome to memorize.

Several princes are still busy. At first, they thought it was too easy to answer the question, and the things they had memorized in their minds were copied down smoothly, and they all had a confident look on their faces. However, after writing for a long time, some princes began to twist their eyebrows and think - if everyone came up with a perfect answer in the end, how could they compare?

I have already wanted to get out of the way. The title of the father's policy is what is the solution of the surname "Tuoba", and the title is on the word "how to solve"!

You can directly answer the meaning of the surname, you can answer the genealogy, you can also answer the long history of these two words, and even - it is the lifeblood of the whole world......

If you put it in the overall situation of the world, there is much to comment!

So several people wrote more and more, and King Zhao wrote quickly, and after writing the whole Zhang Shengxuan, he asked the inner servant for one more.

The hundreds of officials below were dumbfounded, and of course they also thought about what kind of answer was the best. This palace examination is even more posture than the imperial examination, and the emperor is also a wise monarch, and the princes are not ambiguous at all.

However, today, the decision on the choice of the prince above the early dynasty has made the emperor clear from the very beginning - he is not a dictatorship alone, and he wants to invite the ministers to comment together. The topic that comes out today is also a flexible one.

The officials who supported the Five Princes had already begun to make small calculations. Since the answers to the questions are too open, no matter what answers the Several Highnesses come up with, they can find out the wonders and benefits of the Five Princes. When the time comes, everyone will be fighting with each other, and if the people who approve of the five princes are in the majority, the final result will not be ...... Well, the palace test, looking fair, is actually easier to control.

There are three incense sticks inserted in the nine-legged copper tripod on the left side of the dragon chair. When the incense was burned out, Tuoba Hong finally spoke: "Collect all the princes' tips." ”

At this time, King Zhao had not finished writing. But when the time came, he had no choice but to put down his pen and roll up the paper and stuff it into his bag.

Four identical bags are neatly arranged on the bookcase in front of the dragon chair.

Tuoba Hong casually pulled one out of it and ordered Yao Fusheng to open it.

At this moment, many courtiers who supported the five princes were a little stunned, it turned out that the emperor brought these tips to be wonderful! At this time, they couldn't tell which trick belonged to which prince. To make matters worse, the emperor did not open them all, but only one.

He wants to comment one by one!

The hall was deadly silent. Several princes were also very nervous. On the side, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu took the scroll in the bag and read it: "...... The people of the northern soil say that "soil" is "tuo", and "after" is "ba", so they take "tuoba" as their surname, and call Tuoba clan, which means that the descendants of the Yellow Emperor Tude ......"

There are very few words on this scroll, but only one cup of tea has been read.

The courtiers looked disappointed.

Obviously, the owner of this bag failed to dig out the deeper meaning of the word "Tuoba", and he was shallow in thinking.

Tuoba Hong just smiled and said, "Who did it?" ”

I saw the fourth prince trotting forward, took his roll and said, "It's Erchen." Erchen memorized both the surname and the genealogy skillfully...... "He spoke immaturely, and he did not realize where he was losing.

Tuoba Hong did not show any harshness, rewarded him with a box of gold and silver, and said, "You have done a good job." He beckoned to summon the chamberlain: "The fourth highness is weak, send him back to Changxin Palace." ”

The four princes happily held the reward out of the Jinluan Palace. By this time the Emperor had already unfolded another scroll.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu took it and thought about it, but the emperor raised his hand to stop. It was two copies of the Shengxuan that were densely transcribed, and I don't know when I want to read it, but it looks like it was done by King Zhao.

The emperor initially declined to comment, and ordered Yao Fusheng to circulate the paper among the hundred officials. In the end, everyone finished reading it, and the prince of the country, the priest of the wine, said: "All aspects, His Royal Highness King Zhao has worked hard." ”

"But it's too flowery." Another squire shook his head slightly: "The nobility and honor of the national surname are well known. This volume is praising the word Tuoba throughout, which shows that His Royal Highness King Zhao's 'Book of Songs' and 'Chu Ci' are proficient in reading. ”

King Zhao was originally full of anticipation, but his heart gradually sank at this time. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, his surname was the most noble existence in the world, and it was not a good answer to praise it from the origin and evolution of these two words?

The emperor's expression was calm, and after re-collecting the volume, he opened it on the table, nodded and said, "What you say is reasonable. ”

King Zhao got up and took back the scroll, not daring to look up at his father. Tuoba Hong also refused to look at him, and lightly instructed him to read more historical records and the art of war in the future.

He had become accustomed to his father's indifference. But today, his heart is always extra uncomfortable, he is already eleven years old, and he naturally knows what today's fight means. The answer he had worked so hard to get seemed to not satisfy his father.

He trembled and stepped aside with the scroll in his hand.

The Emperor is opening the third bag. At this time, there are only five or six princes left who have not been evaluated.

The courtiers craned their necks to look. The emperor gently pulled out Sheng Xuan, well, sure enough, from a distance, there were not many words on the paper, and the handwriting was immature.

The Book of Rites began to read. The first few sentences are the same as those of the four princes, and they are all memorized. But a few different sentences were added at the end -

"'Tuo' means the soil, a big country, and the territory is boundless. It can also refer to 'gold', red gold is precious, and the honor is infinite. Soil is the most precious in the world, and all people live in water and soil, and the country is born in water and soil...... Gold and soil is the foundation of the country, and since ancient times, the empire has fought for nothing more than ...... 'Ba', and then also. Daqin is the lord of the Central Plains after Yanhuang. I, Great Qin, will surely level the nations and prosper forever......"

The fifth prince had just learned to write, and many of him couldn't write, so he replaced them with words or even patterns with the same pronunciation.

The whole life announcement is full of ghost drawings. The Book of Rites was also read very hard.

But everyone listened with solemnity.

There was silence for a while. After the Ministry of Rites finished reading, the emperor calmly put away the folding fan, glanced around and said, "What do you think of this policy?" ”

"Although the words are immature, the deep meaning in them is admirable." Yang Qi finally spoke again: "This little highness is very far-sighted, and now I am worried about internal and external troubles in Qin...... His Royal Highness said that 'the imperial war is nothing more than for gold and soil' and 'leveling the nations', Weichen wants to ask, does His Highness mean the main war? ”

He had been sick all these days, and he began to cough dryly.

When the courtiers heard what he said, their faces changed in an instant.

"This, which highness made this strategy......" Prime Minister Zuo was deeply surprised, and asked repeatedly.

The courtiers below all began to talk in whispers, nothing more than to say that although this little prince is immature, he can care about the world of Great Qin, think about the situation in the northwest, and have some foresight. At this time, they didn't know whether this was the masterpiece of the fifth prince or the sixth prince, but they all wisely chose to praise it - obviously, for a four- or five-year-old child, such a strategy is really wonderful, and it would be too far-fetched to pick out anything.

Tuoba Hong's eyes also filled with a deep color, and he raised his eyes to look at the princes. At this time, the fifth prince stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "The son of the emperor opened his mouth, which made my father and the adults laugh." ”

Several Wenchen breathed a sigh of relief, oh my God, it was really the handiwork of the five princes! At first, I was worried that the six princes had such a talent......

"Does the Fifth Highness think that our Qin State should continue to reinforce troops and horses and conquer the northwest?" Yang Qi showed admiration on his face, he didn't care which prince it was, he only recognized the virtuous in his eyes.

Tuoba Jue's child nodded and said, "Erchen just read the article 'Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty' in the "Historical Records and Biography". Only by resisting the enemy country and expanding the territory can the country become stronger and more prosperous, and become an emperor through the ages. ”
