Shen Yichen speculated about Sun Tixue's intentions, wanting to know the deep meaning behind his actions.

In fact, Sun Ding himself really doesn't have any complicated ideas......

Purely because of the entrance examination, you can't just ask Shen Yichen to take the exam alone, so that there are no other candidates to witness, it is more like a black-box operation.

Therefore, I simply put a few "thorns" in this college examination, which are more famous and controversial, and put them in the lobby for the examination.

In this way, there are also witnesses, and the risk is reduced.

As the pre-examination body search is nearing the end, the number of candidates who have been arranged to sit in the hall has exceeded 10.

During the waiting, everyone had different expressions on their faces, but they never said a word. It's not because you're not familiar with it, it's because you can't talk casually after you come in with the rules of the exam room, even on this occasion.

Finally, after the last inspection candidate entered, the sound of a gong striking sounded, and the dragon gate of the Xiajiang examination shed was closed.

Shen Yichen and the others were taken by the military service to the lobby of the Duzhi Building, which was different from the empty environment of the previous two times, this time tables and chairs had been set up in the lobby, and the test papers were placed on them, waiting for them to sit down and answer the questions.

Sun Tixue is in a high position, wearing a cyan formal civil official robe, in fact, in terms of official rank and rank, he is not as good as Yin Li Min of Yingtianfu in the government examination.

However, the power and status of many officials in the Ming Dynasty were not simply based on their grades.

It's like many people know that the civil and military officials are cheap, and the military attachés of the same rank are far inferior to the civilian officials, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even the military generals of the second and third grades were trained by the sixth or seventh rank of civil officials.

There are also such distinctions among civil officials, such as the Beijing officials are greater than the foreign officials, and the speech officials are greater than the consuls. Among them, the same rank is the most noble in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, the Six Departments of Affairs, and the Hanlin Academy.

Although the Admiral Xuezheng is in the locality, he does not belong to the local officials, and he is still in the sequence of Beijing officials. And Sun Ding also serves as the inspector of Nanzhili, so even if Yin Li Min, the governor of Zhengsanpin, is in front of him, his status and power may be at most five or five.

Students Shen Yichen, Xu Donghai, Luo Zheng...... Meet the Grand Master. ”

After Shen Yichen and the others entered the lobby, they first saluted Sun Tixue with brushes, and then stood in place and waited for the other party's orders.

Seeing Shen Yichen come in, Sun Ding's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything, and even the expression on his face looked very serious.

After all, the college examination is extraordinary, and those who win the test have the reputation of showing talent, and outstanding candidates can also enter the Guozijian as tribute students. It is equivalent to entering a college like Qingbei in later generations, and also got the concept of a full scholarship.

Therefore, in this case, the various etiquette should be more rigorous.

In addition, he learned the lesson of Li Min in the hospital examination, and he was not good at getting too close to Shen Yichen, so as to avoid giving people a handle to leave criticism. And this time Shen Yichen is not alone, you took the initiative to greet him, so should the other candidates be treated equally?

If they all are treated equally, and more than a dozen instructions are given, then they will not be tested?

In the face of all the candidates bowing, Sun Ding tapped his forehead, which was a response.

"All the beings were arranged to sit in the hall today, I believe you also understand the rules and procedures, and the official will not say more."

"Today's college examination is the main field, and one of the four books and the five classics is examined, among which the scriptures and righteousness questions are selected by themselves. However, this official is different from others, and the four books and the scriptures are considered to be the same weight, and I hope that all living beings will not be careless. ”

Hearing Sun Tixue's words, among the dozen or so people who took the exam, some of them had happy faces, and some of them had heavy expressions.

Because according to the rules of the imperial examination system, it is reasonable to emphasize the first session, the four books, and even the first question in some sessions.

Take Shen Yichen's previous county and government exams as an example, the first result can directly decide whether to win or not, and even the ranking can be set in advance.

It is better to understand the four books, the ancient imperial examinations used the eight-strand text, and the eight-strand essay is from the four books, if you don't pay attention to this, what do you value?

Therefore, the college examination has one question for each of the four books and the five classics, and theoretically, the scoring proportion of the four books is higher than that of the five classics. That is to say, if two candidates have the same literary ability, and one of them has the advantage of the four book questions, and the other has the advantage of the five scripture questions, then when the final ranking is considered, the four book question candidates will win.

Under the consideration of this rule, it is natural that candidates will focus on the four book questions. Sun Tixue is not like this, requiring candidates to develop "morally, intellectually, physically and beautifully" in an all-round way, and for those candidates who do not attach importance to Jingyi, it can be called a difficult pass.

Unfortunately, Shen Yichen is one of those candidates who Jingyi does not pay attention to.

In fact, to be precise, it is not that Shen Yichen does not pay attention to it, but that he studied too hard before, and his energy is limited, so he can only focus on the four books, and he ranks Jingyi behind.

This is like Shen Yichen's poem collapse, and the five-word and six-rhyme test poem of the county test was written casually, and it didn't affect the final score anyway, so it didn't matter if it was good or not.

If it weren't for Li Tingxiu's help last year and worshipping Lin Zhen, the champion Gonggong, as a teacher, maybe Shen Yichen would have set a precedent for the first place in the government examination and the hospital test today.

Seeing that everyone had different expressions, Sun Ding didn't have to care about what this group of candidates thought, and said again: "There are test papers on the examination table, you should sit down in order, and hope to be famous in high school." ”

"Yes, Grand Master."

All the candidates bowed their heads and said yes, then walked to the exam table and took their seats in front of their serial numbers.

At this time, Shen Yichen found that the position of his examination desk was actually facing Sun Tixue, which could be described as a real low eyelid. I don't know if this was an accident, or if Sun Tixue deliberately arranged it, so being stared at writing test papers is a bit stressful.

After taking his seat, Shen Yichen did not open the test paper in a hurry, but glanced up at Sun Tixue, just in time to meet the other party's gaze.

I saw that the expression on Sun Ding's face finally changed, and the corners of his mouth showed a fleeting smile, it was obvious that he had been paying attention to Shen Yichen, hoping that he would win the first place again in this college examination.

There is even one thing that Shen Yichen doesn't know, the reason why Sun Ding emphasizes the equal emphasis on the Four Books and the Five Classics is actually to create some advantages for him within the scope of his authority.

Think about it, Shen Yichen worshipped Lin Zhen as his teacher, and Lin Zhen, as the champion prince or the master of Jingyi, how weak can the disciples he taught be in the scriptures?

Compared with other candidates who pay attention to the four books, Shen Yichen can be said to be ahead of the starting line!

really helping Shen Yichen to cheat for personal gain, with Sun Ding's character, he will definitely not do it, so he has tried his best to help everything, and it depends on Shen Yichen's play.

But what Sun Ding didn't expect was that although Shen Yichen worshiped Lin Zhen as his teacher, it didn't mean that his strengths in the scriptures were purely temporary cramming Buddha's feet to make up for his shortcomings.

Therefore, this well-intentioned operation is quite self-defeating......

When I opened the test paper, I saw that the test question pattern was different from the normal number room, and the questions of the test had already been written on the test paper, and there was no need to wait for the military service to pass by and copy it.

On one of the test papers is a four-book question, the title is: Swinging, the people are incompetent; Towering, its success is also, and it has articles.

After all, Sun Ding was born as a scholar, and he has been a school inspector for decades, and his understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics is much more professional than that of Yin Li Min of Tianfu.

This major is placed on the questions, that is, there is no need to find all kinds of underworld interception questions to harm the candidates, and some normal and decent exam questions can be produced.

This title comes from the "Analects of Taber", the fragment of Confucius praising Yao, which translates to the approximate meaning. Yao was a great man, and the people didn't know what language to use to praise him.

His merits are so noble, and the etiquette system he formulated is so splendid and beautiful!

If you want to understand it in the simplest and crudest way, you can also see this passage as a sycophant, anyway, a wave of boasting is full of fancies, but it is much more elegant than it is relatively gentle.

This kind of four-book title is not obscure, which means that the idea of solving the problem is easy to find, and the direction is to praise the ancient sages and sages to educate them, pointing out what good things Yao has done, and which sages have been appointed, and so on.

And don't forget the most important point, which is to use the past as a metaphor for the present.

This point is not obvious in the hospital examination, after all, the emperor is far away, and when you put it in the township examination, especially the general examination, you must refer to the current emperor in a roundabout way when you see a topic similar to praising the ancient sages and emperors.

Then write an article that I feel like I am slippery, pointing out how wise and powerful the emperor is, how he governs the country well, and how eloquent he is. The highest level is to blow more ruthlessly than the original text of Confucius, so congratulations, it is not far from taking the middle.

The reason why you say that you are not far from taking the middle rather than completely winning the middle is that you can't just blow it and not do the real thing. The emperor takes the scholar to let you be an official and do things, not to let you just make a fool of yourself.

This kind of dry blowing method is particularly insincere and unintentional.

Therefore, in the last paragraph, you have to add your own ambition in your heart, and inspire yourself to assist the saints of today in the future, and also to do a great cause to benefit all people, and so on.

This wave blew the sages, blew the emperor of the dynasty, and finally praised himself. echoes before and after, it can be called a full score, and if you are not selected by the examiner, you are simply sorry for the "true feelings" in the article.

may also be that he has written too much Baguwen, and now Shen Yichen is very familiar with this kind of conventional topic, and he can solve the problem or something!

Sun Ding sat in the lobby, his eyes constantly scanning the candidates in the hall, of course, the main attention was on Shen Yichen.

During this time, Sun Ding had not seen Shen Yichen, but he heard a lot of rumors about him, such as the county test and the government test, the fraud in the Chengguo Mansion's family school, and the "Sword Like a Rainbow" at the flower appreciation poetry meeting "Killing the Quartet", it can be said that everything is like thunder.

To be honest, Sun Ding didn't expect that at the family banquet of the Chengguo Mansion, a young student who sat at the end of the table with his unattractive appearance could stir up the Tianfu literary world.

It's just that no matter how dazzling the literary world is, it can't compare to the name on the gold list, whether Shen Yichen is a fish leaping into the dragon gate today, or a halberd sinking into the sand, depends on these two questions of the Four Books and Five Classics.
