The hot wine finally came up, and I couldn't wait to take a sip, the warm wine breathed into my stomach, Shen Ao suddenly felt a little more warm in my stomach, and laughed and chatted with my classmates.

In fact, the test questions of the high school entrance examination are still mainly based on poetry, after all, unlike the imperial examination, the examination of scriptures and righteous articles is to select talents more effectively, and for Central University, the scriptures and articles are still despised by merry talents in this era. Wang Anshi changed the law and changed the rules of the imperial examination, which immediately attracted a lot of scolding, and a big reason for this was in the reform of the imperial examination.

To be an official can be an official only by doing a sour article, and to write poems and songs in the past, it is not easy to judge which is better or worse, and the only advantage of making an article is only the word fairness, but when it comes to elegance and talent, you have to be the first to recommend poetry.

For Wang Anshi, the prison students hate it the most, and the biggest reason is also because of this, most of their families are good, and under the influence of their ears and eyes, their poems have always been good. However, the articles of the scriptures are all about diligent study and hard study, and if you want to make good articles, you have to memorize the four books and the five classics by heart, and there is no other way.

When it comes to hard work, how can the prison students be compared with the Tai students, so as soon as Wang Xianggong changed the law, the Guozi Jian suddenly lagged far behind the Tai Xue, and it was not until recently that there was a change.

A few drunken classmates talked about the scriptures and theories, and they were immediately furious, and naturally they couldn't help but slander a few words, even the Wu pen was not exempt from vulgarity, but said a joke, saying that the harmful Wang Xianggong also read the Four Books and Five Classics, but how to read it? But it is to stuff the four books and five classics in the cracks of the wall of the thatched pit, every time I want to go to the toilet, I take it out and read it, and it is also a common thing to wipe my buttocks by the way, and as a result, there is a saying that the four books and five classics are all turned into toilet paper, Wang Xianggong rushed out of the pit with his pants, beating his chest and wailing: "It's really a book to be used when you hate less!" ”

Everyone laughed, this joke, ironically, I am afraid that Wang Anshi only uses a few books to judge, naturally there is also its absurdity.

Shen Ao is naturally not interested in the new party and the old party, these are his, but Wang Xianggong does have a little bit of trouble with him, if he makes a few small poems casually according to the rules of the imperial examination in the past, where do you have to memorize the four books and five classics every day, to figure out the meaning and commentary of every word in those books.

He smiled casually, but his heart was full of joy: "Will the battle between Taixue and Guozijian have anything to do with the dispute between the new party and the old party?" Guozijian is a victim of the New Party, and for Taixue, doesn't it happen to make Taixue a beneficiary? I see......"

Shen Ao is not a stupid person, he understands after just a little thought, in fact, the so-called party struggle, there is no one loyal and who is annihilated, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of position, which position you stand in, you just speak for whom.

For example, Cai Jing, the right-hand man of the new party, was born poor, and Zeng Bu and other old parties, most of whom did not come from a good background. On the other hand, Sima Guang, Su Dongpo and others of the old party are mostly from big families.

Shen Ao realized that according to his current position, it turned out that he was an old party.

Thinking of the sensational court discussion, the fuse was only because of his status as a prisoner or a student, which provoked countless courtiers, Shen Ao never believed that he could make such a big storm as a prisoner, but now that he thinks about it, he suddenly understands that he is actually just a disguise, a trigger point for the two parties to temporarily make a truce.

It seems that politics is not very fun, and seeing the inexplicable appearance of his classmates one by one, Shen Ao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But when I thought about it, I couldn't help but sweat out, now he is a fucking reserve cadre of the old party, but this court, a few years ago, the new party headed by Cai Jing was still in power, and the old party suffered heavy losses. If it is really according to the development of history, not long after, Cai Jing's party will rise again, for Cai Jing, Shen Ao, the vanguard of the old party reserve who is in the limelight, is not the first target of attack after coming to power?

Shen Ao realized that he recognized Zhou Zheng as his uncle and stepped into the country's prison, and he had already been involved in the whirlpool of politics, and this pit seemed to be dug for himself.

chatted absentmindedly with his classmates, returned to the dormitory and fell asleep, and when he woke up the next day, he was in good spirits again, no matter what new party and old party he was, no one should provoke his son, otherwise he would be burned with him.

With the experience of being a human being in two lives, Shen Ao has seen many things, he was hunted by Interpol for many years, what environment has he not endured? Isn't it a good life now? There is no need to worry about nothing!

Pushing open the window, a cold wind poured in, as far as the eye could see, the snow stopped, but the snow on the treetops and eaves was still white, giving people a cool soothing.

Shen Ao stretched his waist, felt the biting coolness, smiled slightly, and hurriedly washed and wiped his face.

The examination room for the middle test is still held in the examination shed, but it is covered with heavy snow, and the melting snow water seeps into the examination booth, which is cold and biting. Candidates entered the examination room one after another, and it is said that this time the invigilator is still Yang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It's okay, some people rumored that even the head of the palace also came, saying that the official family attached great importance to this exam, and specially sent the chamberlain here to wait for the adults to read the papers, and picked out the first place to send the test papers to the palace.

Whether this exam is Guozijian or Taixue, it secretly has a sense of competition; It is not only the official family, but also the courtiers, who also pay attention to this examination; Now it's just a matter of waiting for the candidates to answer the papers, and after the results are announced, someone will celebrate with the crown.

Shen Ao was assigned to the Jiachou examination shed, which leaned against the edge of the examination room, and there was a high courtyard wall nearby, which happened to block the cold wind, but on the eaves of the examination shed, there were a lot of ice cubes, the ice cubes melted, squeaked and dripped down, Shen Ao removed all the ice cubes, sat on the stool and waited for the test questions to be sent. Not long after, several invigilators came over, but the doctor Shen Ao led by was familiar with him, and it was his teacher, Dr. Qin.

When Dr. Qin saw Shen Ao, he only smiled at him and threw an encouraging look; In order to avoid suspicion, he left quickly.

When the test questions were sent, Shen Ao took a look, the middle school test was obviously a little more difficult than the initial test, and there was naturally a poem to compose, in addition, the candidates were also required to make a 'scripture and righteousness'.

It is easy to say about poetry, but Shen Ao's real weakness is still in the scriptures, although the scriptures at this time are more free than the Bagu texts of later generations, they only require beautiful words, be able to expound their academic ideas according to the topic, and express their political ideals.

Baguwen pays the most attention to the strict and rigid structure, such as the basic parts such as solving the problem and undertaking the topic. Fortunately, at this time, there were no such strict restrictions on the structure of the scriptures, but it had a slight eight-strand rudiment.

Shen Ao has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics in the past few months, and finally has some foundation, but he still seems rusty when he does the scriptures, but fortunately, Chen Ji's notes have pointed him out the maze, so that he has learned some essence, and he will not be unable to write.

After reading the title of Jingyi, the title is "The Rite of Indecency", Shen Ao pondered for a moment, and immediately remembered that this title came from the Analects, and the original text was Zi said: The king is courteous, and people think it is flattering. It is to the effect that there should be a degree of etiquette, and excessive etiquette will inevitably be mistaken for slander, and sometimes it will fall into slander. To be a man is to stand upright, walk rightly, and be courteous until the end. Etiquette for the sake of courtesy, and its courtesy is not courtesy.

This topic is quite difficult, Shen Ao smiled bitterly, the so-called scriptures, this test question alone, will test the candidate's understanding of the four books and five classics, if you can't read it well, you can't reach the point of memorizing it backwards, I'm afraid that you can't find the original sentence, you don't understand its meaning, let alone make an article, only dry staring.

These four books and five classics are not in vain, Shen Ao's progress in this area is very fast, after all, he used to have a good foundation in ancient literature, and he read ancient books, and it is easier to learn the scriptures than ordinary people, plus there are famous teachers to guide him, although it is the first time to officially write the scriptures at this moment, at first glance, he has a little confidence.

"Etiquette for the sake of courtesy, and its courtesy is not courtesy? How can I solve the problem? ”

Shen Ao frowned deeply, he was stunned for a while, solving the problem is extremely important for the entire scripture, whether an article is good or not depends on whether the problem can be solved, if it is a good question, the next article will be easy to write.

He was silent, trying to mutter, and began to search for some problem-solving experiences written by Chen Ji in his mind.

After a stick of incense, Shen Ao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally had a little bit of inspiration, muttered a few words, and seemed to be muttering to himself, muttering from time to time: Is this too straightforward? Then he shook his head. Silently recited: Still not right.

Involuntarily, Shen Ao bit the pen with blank eyes. Finally, after half a ring, he suddenly shook his wrist, pointed the tip of the pen at the test paper, and wrote: The ancients thought it was a courtesy, and I will do it now, which may not be in line with the ancient courtesy; The ancients thought it was righteous, and I will do it now, which may not be in line with the righteousness of the ancients.

After this sentence was written, Shen Ao stood up straight with satisfaction and couldn't help but shout hello. He chose the perspective of time, starting from the difference between ancient and modern etiquette and righteousness, and pointed out that what the ancients thought was in line with etiquette and righteousness, and people today still follow and copy it, then it may not be in line with etiquette and righteousness, and it may become indecent etiquette and unrighteous righteousness.

Breaking the topic with this paragraph made Shen Ao happy in his heart, and even he felt very satisfied. It is necessary to know that such a "truncated question" as the rite of indecency, when solving the question, the most taboo is to only say the "rite" in the question, and cannot involve the taboo of "righteousness". Shen Ao took care of both etiquette and righteousness when solving the problem, and such a breakthrough is definitely an excellent beginning, which not only plays a wonderful role in connecting the previous and the next, but also makes people shine, which is quite surprisingly successful.

"Haha, fortunately, Master Chen's notes have been memorized, and Master Churby has not taught anything else, and most of the notes he made are to teach people to solve problems and undertake problems." Shen Ao couldn't help but admire Chen Ji at the moment, he didn't design the scriptures before, so he didn't think that Chen Ji's husband had much gold content, but now that he started to write an article and thought of his notes, it was really wonderful.
