Chapter 274: Deliberately embarrassed
What the candidates thought of was, when they took the exam later, would they also take the exam in front of everyone?
Some candidates are already shaking their legs, and it's over! There are more people, and he is more nervous!
Seeing that the instructors of the Confucian Department also appeared in the courtyard one after another, everyone couldn't help but become even more nervous, and some candidates even had cold sweat on their foreheads.
The candidates hurriedly saluted, and then several examiners saluted each other before taking their seats to start the exam.
"The top 10 will be tested in front of everyone. For the rest of the people, they will take the test again after entering the examination room. ”
Governor Liao glanced at the students below and said.
Most of the candidates breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced sympathetically at the ten candidates in front of them.
No, in fact, the exam questions are the same for everyone, if they are all taken together, then how can they be tested?
In order to take into account the previous rumors, Governor Liao temporarily changed the mode of the exam.
The top ten were examined separately in front of everyone, in order to clear up the previous rumors that Su Yizhao had joined forces with him.
Governor Liao glanced at Su Yizhao who was standing below, then glanced at the four teachings, and then pointed at randomly.
"Sect Shen, it's better to have you to solve the problem!" Governor Liao pointed at Shen Jiaofu and said.
This Shen Sect, Su Yizhao had heard of it before, was from Yicheng Mansion. Although they are also from Yibei Province, they are not from Beiyuan Mansion, so they naturally have no affection for the students of Beiyuan Mansion.
This time, a total of four teachers acted as examiners and invigilators, all of whom were not locals and had little contact with the prefect before, but were selected by examination to prevent cheating.
Shen Jiaoyu did not shirk it, and after a polite sentence, he asked: "The so-called self-cultivation is in the right heart, and the body is angry, then it is not right, what is the explanation?" ”
Su Yizhao was a little surprised, this question is simple!
The candidates couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hearing that the last one was just for ranking, and they could still answer such a simple question.
I don't think there will be much change in the previous ranking, this is just a formality.
Everyone realized that they knew it, and they relaxed.
"This sentence comes from "University", and it is obtained: The so-called self-cultivation is in the right heart, and if there is anger in the body, it will not be right, if there is fear, it will not be right, if there is happiness, it will not be right, and if there is sorrow, it will not be right."
The interpretation is that the reason why it is said that to cultivate one's own character, one must first correct one's own mind, and if there is anger in one's heart, it cannot be corrected; If there is fear, there is no righteousness. If you have a preference, you can't be right; When the heart is anxious, it cannot be corrected. ”
This question is so simple that Su Yizhao can answer it without thinking, she feels a little strange in her heart, if it is so simple, then what is the point of this scene?
Everyone nodded, and many candidates were even more jealous, if they were the ones who answered this question, wouldn't it be okay to pass? That's too easy, right?
"Not bad! The foundation is very solid, I hope you will continue to work hard. ”
Sect Shen stroked his goatee and nodded in praise.
At the same time, he carefully observed Su Yizhao, this son's future is limitless, why should he be that wicked person?
It's better to come up with a decent topic, so that he can easily pass it, and it is also good to get married.
The other teachings looked as usual, not knowing what they were thinking, but at this moment, Governor Liao spoke up.
"Then the official will ask another question!" Liao Zhifu said suddenly.
"The second question is a four-book text. Someone comes, light the incense burner, and answer the question within a stick of incense. ”
Governor Liao's words made everyone stunned.
When is it time to test four books and texts, and four books and texts to be tested in the time of one stick of incense? Are they crazy or are the prefects crazy?
Su Yijue looked at the independent young man in front of him with some concern, how could he complete a four-book question with a stick of incense? This is clearly a dilemma.
Even if Su Yizhao finishes it, the answer is not satisfactory, after all, it is a hasty answer.
And it's still a verbal meaning, not a competition, but if you have a poor memory, can you still remember the answer mentioned earlier? There are people who have forgotten the topic.
Su Yizhao's heart also sank, what does this Liao Prefect mean?
"There is nothing to be done, so the gentleman's sincerity is precious, and the sincere person is not self-contained, so it is also a thing."
This sentence is from "The Mean", Su Yizhao immediately thought of the source, the original sentence is "The sincere person is self-contained, and the Tao is self-sufficient." Sincerity is the beginning of the end of things, and there is nothing if there is no sincerity, so the gentleman's sincerity is precious. ”
Unaffected by external objects, Su Yizhao was immediately immersed in his thoughts.
Everyone looked at each other, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't talk to each other at this moment, the courtyard would be like boiling water.
They had also heard that the prefect was related to Su Yizhao before, so what did the prefect mean by doing this?
Also, if everyone had to answer the Four Texts, would they be able to successfully complete the exam today?
With only one stick of incense, this is simply impossible.
Everyone also thought about the answer in their hearts, to see if they could complete the question in a stick of incense.
Su Yiliang glanced up at Governor Liao, he had asked the second brother before, and the second brother said that the meaning was actually very simple, and he would not generally fail to answer.
In fact, the examiner already knows the previous ranking, and there will not be much change after the oral test.
Some provinces don't even take the last test, and for example, the county exam four years ago didn't take the fifth.
He looked at Su Yizhao's back and was a little stunned, if Su Yizhao didn't answer this time, would he fall from the altar of the first place?
He felt a little dark in his heart, but then he thought that maybe the entire Su clan would be ridiculed by outsiders, saying that Su Yizhao was a waste of fame.
Especially Meng Lingxi of Handan Mansion, if he won the case, but Su Yizhao did not, and even fell to ten places away, wouldn't Meng Lingxi have to raise his eyebrows?
Thinking like this, Su Yiliang suddenly shook his head, no!
How can Su Yizhao say that he is also a child of the Su family, and he affects the entire Su family, how can he make outsiders proud?
Su Yizhao didn't know how conflicted her fifth brother was at the moment, ignoring everyone's gaze, she suddenly bowed deeply towards the top.
Governor Liao was a little puzzled, what does this mean? A stick of incense has just begun, does Su Yizhao want to give up?
If Su Yizhao gave up, wouldn't her previous efforts be in vain?
Although the previous results were excellent, the county examination will inevitably be given, but the ranking will not be very good-looking, and it will even fall outside the top ten.
Could it be that his topic is too harsh? But when he heard that Su Yizhao and Meng Lingxi were fighting, it was just a stick of incense, and he could compose a poem, and he thought that this should not be difficult for him.
In fact, at this moment, Governor Liao already regretted it a little, and he should not have overestimated Su Yizhao so much if he knew it.
Everyone is also sorry in their hearts, should they really give up?
In fact, I can still hold on, although in a hurry, the answer is not good, but it is also rare.
However, while they regretted it, they were faintly excited in their hearts, what was going on?
