Chapter 122: Entrance Examination for Beijing

When Qin Guan and Qin Wei saw their father, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Qin Zhang nodded and said, "Let the subordinates arrange the rest of the things, and your brother will go to the study with me." ”

The father and son came to the study, Qin Zhang sat on the main seat, and Qin Guan and Qin Wei sat on the chairs next to them, looking at their father.

Qin Zhang looked at his two sons carefully, and his face softened slightly. In fact, now he is quite satisfied with his two sons, the eldest son Qin Wei is honest and honest, although his talent is limited, he knows how to work hard when he reads.

The second son Qin Guan has always been his heart disease before, and he always thought that he would become a gentleman in the future, but he didn't expect that in just one year, he was selected one after another, and he showed amazing talent in poetry, and he had the name of a little poet.

His wife wrote to say that now Qin Guan also knows that he has worked hard, and he has basically been studying in retreat at home for the past few months.

As for finding an Oiran concubine, who is not romantic, Qin Zhangzhi doesn't think there is anything, as long as it doesn't affect his studies.

"The time of this year's examination has been announced, and it is scheduled to start on March 18, with a duration of three days, although there are still three months to go, but it will pass in a flash, so you two brothers are not allowed to go out to play at will during this time, and you must use your mind on reading."

In the last sentence, Qin Zhang looked at Qin Guan and said.

Obviously, Daddy is mainly warning himself.

The two hurriedly responded.

Next, Qin Zhang began to explain the situation of the examination to his two sons, he was born as a Jinshi, and some experience was just passed on to his two sons. Those who are going to take the general examination will also find one or two jinshi or candidates who have taken the general examination to understand the content of the general examination, so as to be well informed.

"The examination is different from the hospital examination and the township examination, and the examination only tests three questions of scripture and righteousness, policy theory and poetry, five questions of scripture and meaning, two questions of policy theory, and one poem each. So you're working on these three things. ”

"You have all tested the scriptures, and the Chinese sentences of the scriptures are used as the title to explain their meanings, mainly depending on your mastery and understanding of the scriptures, and I will not say much about this."

"Poetry is the most talented, pay attention to on-the-spot play, I won't say much about this. I'm going to talk to you about the strategy. ”

"What is a policy theory, a policy theory is an article that discusses current political issues and offers advice to the imperial court. There are a few important points to keep in mind as you answer the policy."

"When answering questions, it is necessary to analyze and solve problems, and build prestige between stand-up talks. If you want to win the examiner's attention and appreciation for you, you must write more about your own opinions, discuss each matter, and only express one point of view in an article, concise and powerful, sharp and skilled. ”

Of course, we should also pay attention to the preferences of the examiner, this time the person who presided over the examination was Zeng Yu Zeng Xianggong, Zeng Xianggong was the prime minister, and his governing philosophy was to emphasize commercial development and implement a monopoly on tea, salt, iron, and wine. Encourage the circulation of commerce and trade, strengthen overseas trade, pay attention to commercial rules, and increase fiscal revenue. ”

"The establishment of the 'Anjitang' adopted widows, widows and lonely people, and rescued countless suffering people."

Hearing this, no matter how Qin Guan listened, he felt that this Zeng Yu Zeng Xianggong was a capable minister who governed the world, Qin Guan remembered that his Qin family was dependent on Shen Zheng and Shen Xianggong, and the fact that Shen Zheng and Zeng Yu were sworn enemies was well known, could it be that his side was a traitor.

But Qin Zhang's next words immediately overturned Qin Guan's thoughts.

"But Zeng Yu is a treacherous person, corrupt for officials, gathering wealth for officials, controlling the government, and his henchmen are all over the entire Great Zhao State, if there is discord, he will be attacked by ruthless means."

"A few years ago, Zeng Yu had a birthday, and the carriage for gifts blocked three streets, and it is said that the congratulatory gifts he received that day were worth millions of yuan."

"These are not counted, the most important thing is that for the Liao State, which poses the greatest threat to our Great Zhao State, he advocates dividing land for peace, not advocating the use of troops, and paying tribute every year. However, for the military of the Great Zhao State, they sent supervisors everywhere to strictly control military supplies, and ordered the supervisors to control military power, so that those generals who fought in the war had no right to command. ”

"The Liao State has repeatedly committed crimes while testing our country, plundering countless grains from the people, and the border people are not making a living, do you know what Zeng Yu said in the court, he said that this is just a disease of scabies, and the Liao people robbed the grain for the winter, and went back."

"He is a dignified prime minister, and he is so bloody, and the Liao people have plundered the people of my Great Zhao Kingdom."

Saying this, Qin Zhang's face was already obviously angry.

Qin Guan only learned today that his father was still an angry young person, Qin Guan asked tentatively: "Father, our Qin family is attached to Shen Xianggong, then we can be regarded as the main battle faction." ”

Qin Zhang looked at Qin Guan and said: "It can be said that Shen Xianggong is dedicated to the public, if it weren't for his support in the court, I'm afraid that Zeng Yu would have sold half of the Zhao State to the Liao State a long time ago." Although he once controlled the civil officials, Shen Xianggong had the support of all the martial families. ”

Qin Guan suddenly understood why he had a fiancΓ©e from a martial arts family. It turns out that the roots are here.

Qin Zhang also noticed that he was talking about the imperial examination, but now he was talking about the factional disputes in the imperial court, it seemed that the building was crooked, so he hurriedly went to reclaim it.

continued: "This year, Zeng Yu is presiding over the examination, so when you take the exam, if you have a policy question involving the use of foreign troops, don't be too intense when answering the questions, and pay attention to the measure. ”

Qin Wei was very puzzled and asked, "Father, are you asking us to go against your proposition and instead flatter and support Zeng Yu?" ”

Listening to the eldest brother's words, Qin Guan couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

Qin Zhang looked at the eldest son, and said earnestly: "It's not for you to flatter, but not to be too intense." Wei'er, my father told you a word, I hope it will be useful for you in your future life. ”

"Excessive humility is hypocrisy; Overconfidence is conceit; Excessive comity is pedantic; To stretch excessively is to indulge; Excessive majesty is arrogance; Excessive humility is inferiority; Easy-going and excessive is kitsch; Excessive self-improvement is arrogance; To be shrewd is to be treacherous; Excessive frankness is recklessness: walking the world and being able to judge the situation is great wisdom and true ability. ”

Situation!!!

These four words are the point.

Qin Guan knew that his father was the kind of person who had ideals but was not pedantic, not the kind of person who would throw his head and spill his blood for the sake of his ideals, regardless of rushing forward.

Qin Guan likes such people.

Such a person cannot be regarded as a pure person, but he can be regarded as a smart person.

Qin Guan was very pleased.

However, in the next second, Qin Zhang's words made Qin Guan fall into an ice cave.

"Forget it today, starting tomorrow, I will test your homework, and the two of you will do at least one scripture every day, and one policy every three days."

Suddenly, Qin Guan felt that the weather in Nanjing was so cold.
