Chapter 993: On How to Achieve Equality for All
After understanding the holy will, Chu Suiliang no longer backed down.
He ordered the student who had just taken a step forward: "All the Jinyi guards obey the order, and those who follow Jiang Sheng as a step forward will all be arrested and temporarily imprisoned in the Guozijian, this trouble is by no means as simple as the students, there must be thieves behind it, and the official will make it clear to His Majesty, ask for a thorough investigation, and if you do not accept the arrest of those who dare to resist, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and you will be killed!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the students were shocked.
Jiang Shengwei had already fallen, and the rest of the students did not dare to come forward, and they were honestly taken away by Jinyiwei, and the examination room was restored to clarity.
Xue Rengui saw that Chu Suiliang reacted quickly enough, and smiled at him: "Master Chu is busy with imperial examination affairs, I think the leading student has something, why don't I interrogate Lord Chu?" Over the years, I have followed His Majesty and learned a lot of interrogation methods, and I should be able to gain something. ”
Chu Suiliang saluted again: "Then there is General Lao Xue." ”
After Xue Rengui left, the inspection in the examination room was carried out normally, and some candidates saw that the inspection was so severe, so they silently withdrew from the Guozijian and returned again in less than half a stick of incense, thinking that they had thrown something.
With the experience of the past, the candidates on the state roads did not dare to make any small moves, except for a few candidates who had a fluke mentality after being found to have carried private goods and left the venue, most of the candidates entered the examination room smoothly.
Subsequently, the curtain of the scientific expedition slowly opened.
In addition to the three essays, scriptures and questions that have already been set, the two subjects of mathematics and manufacturing are also examined.
The first three subjects are commonplace for students from all over the world, and they are confident that if they follow the old practice, they will be able to do it easily.
There is nothing special about the essay subject, as usual, it is the question made by His Majesty, and the students from the students or poems, or articles, each has a different role, free to play, the young man in white is the most young, and he completes the article with a stroke of pen and ink, and counts it carefully, and he is the first to submit the paper among these students.
Since according to Qin Huaidao's requirements, it is necessary to complete all the papers before reading them in a unified manner, so what Xue Yuanchao wrote, everyone will not be able to see it for the time being.
Then there were students who completed it one after another, and Li Yi, who claimed to be one of the top ten students in Shannan Province, had a tidal thought, and wrote a long essay in just a few hours, and after carefully checking it again, he handed in the paper with great satisfaction.
Next, Guo Zhengyi, Laiji, and Linghu Dedi also handed in their exam papers one after another, Chu Suiliang sat in Guozijian, Lu Dunxin and Lu Qingye took the Jinyi guard specially sent by Qin Huaidao to assist to inspect, in case someone cheated on each other, and the students were also writing carefully.
As for the scriptures, the content of the examination is the nine classics, which are "The Book of Rites", "Zhou Li", "Rites", "Yi", "Shu", "Poems" and the Spring and Autumn Three Legends.
Since Qin Huaidao signaled that Chu Suiliang did not have to score too much in the content of the ceremony, the content of the test was more inclined to the Spring and Autumn Three Transmissions.
Why is this so, Chu Sui thought in his conscience, maybe His Majesty is really as rumored to pay more attention to emotions than the etiquette of the elite class.
This kind of thing can be seen from His Majesty's proclamation that all people are equal, but the world has long been accustomed to classes, and it is not something that can be done in a moment to be equal.
As for the questioning, it is His Majesty who will ask the question himself.
When they saw the problem, many students made a difficulty, and they had never seen such a strange and novel topic.
The topic is "On how to achieve equality for all".
Some candidates panicked instantly when they saw this question, and asked together, he formed an alliance with many students to discuss the possible direction of the question and prepare the answer in advance, and prepared no less than ten questions, such as how to restore the people's livelihood at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, how to build a super empire that includes the United States, and other topics, none of which were missed.
The word equality is too foreign to them.
Li Yi of Shannan Province sighed in the sky: "Since ancient times, the imperial power is higher than the sky, and the officials have crushed people to death, even ordinary officials can be the overlord of a county, and the royal power is not lower than the county, how many years can the emperor's pro-army go once?" If you can't manage it at all, how can everyone be equal? ”
Su Baozhen also scratched her head, and she didn't think of how to answer.
This question, the fastest answer is the white-clothed young man Xue Yuanchao, he has always thought that the world is big, when you have the courage to move forward, no matter how big the risk, where can you go?
Isn't it natural for everyone to be equal?
Holding the pen, the first sentence of the opening sentence of the question is a true portrayal of his heart.
"All men in the world, whether they are emperors, officials, officials, merchants, peasants, or laborers, are created equal." This sentence fell, the young man was full of spirits, the Long March was quoted, and a detailed discussion was listed, explaining that all people are born equal, and inequality is artificially bringed, so if you want to achieve equality for all, you are not seeking the law, but not seeking.
When everyone does not pursue superiority, the true equality of everyone in the world can be realized.
Long Youdao was born in Su Baozhen, and his method was slightly biased, not that he went to extremes, but that he really didn't come up with a better way.
"Zhen believes that if we want to achieve equality for all, we must remove inequality, or sweep away those who are superior to achieve the equality of those who are inferior, or sweep away those who are inferior to achieve equality of those who are superior."
When he looked at it again after writing, he broke out in a cold sweat, can this thing be written? If it is handed in and provokes His Majesty's anger, he must be charged with treason and exterminate his family, he hurriedly erased all the content he wrote, sat down in the examination seat again, shook his head and sighed.
However, Guo Zhengyi's writing is quite standard.
When Chu Suiliang went over to inspect, he stared at the first sentence of his exam paper and was stunned for a long time.
Because what he writes is: equality is relative.
In any dynasty, there is no absolute equality in everything, only relative equality, if you want to achieve equality for all, you can't pursue absolute equality as the goal, but should draw a bottom line, for example, no one worries about food, everyone has clothes to wear, no worries about livelihood, no fear of officials, if you take this as a line, you can achieve initial relative equality.
This kind of thinking is extremely rare even in the current dynasty, Chu Suiliang and Guo Zhengyi had a relationship when they were in the inn, and when they looked at it again, they became more impressed by this name.
"Is equality relative?" Chu Suiliang thought that perhaps His Majesty could communicate with him on this point of view.
When Xue Rengui went to the Ganlu Palace, he was informed by Qin Huaidao.
"Interesting, there are really people who don't know what to do and blatantly make trouble in the imperial examination room, Brother Xue, have you found any clues?"
Although Qin Huaidao is already the emperor of the Han Dynasty, according to his request, if it is not in public, he still has his own opinions, so he still calls him the eldest brother in the Ganlu Palace.
Xue Rengui said: "It's a bit eyebrow-raising, I used the method of paper punishment to find out that the candidate was instructed by the Jiang family in Jiangnan Province." ”
