The students said goodbye and left, but Wei Chen was stopped by Lin Yan and stayed alone.

"Sit down."

Lin Yanduan sat behind the big case and said in a deep voice.

Wei Chen sat down obediently, and there were only two of them in the huge right fast.

Lin Yan glanced at Wei Chen and said lightly: "Today's incident was provoked by He Jinchao, and Lu Qingzhou may also have a share, although these two people are guilty, but you are obviously confident, but you deliberately lead to it, and you are not a good person!" ”

Wei Chen hurriedly got up and confessed: "Mr. Mingjian, Na He Jinchao targets students everywhere, and the students just want to punish him and admonish him, not really want to force him away." ”

Lin Yan looked at Wei Chen's expression, and saw that Wei Chen's heart was empty, and he could only barely lift his spirits and face Lin Yan's terrifying gaze.

After a long time, Lin Yan finally took his eyes off Wei Chen's face and sighed lightly: "You are too hidden in your heart, and you are extremely smart, making it difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, you may become a capable minister who governs the world in the future, or you may become a traitor to a troubled country." I teach you, and I don't know if it's right or wrong, maybe I, Lin Yan, will be called the teacher of a certain traitor in the mouth of future generations, and I don't know if I will be left behind for 10,000 years. ”

Wei Chen smiled and said: "Sir, rest assured, the student will definitely forge ahead, not let Mr. be ashamed, and make Mr. a teacher who can govern the world in the mouth of future generations!" ”

Lin Yan didn't refute Wei Chen's words, but just shook his head with a smile, as if he had been relieved.

He then spoke: "In the past, I taught you to teach the seven people of the Shangsha according to the method of teaching the students, and they were treated equally, but now it seems that your talents are not limited by the students or the lifting of people, and the teacher should teach you in the same way as teaching the jinshi. ”

Wei Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed to Lin Yan solemnly, and said solemnly: "Please teach me, sir." ”

Lin Yan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial examination is the first to weigh eight strands, but the eight strands themselves are just a format, which is nothing more than six paragraphs and eight rows of even sentences. The first sentence breaks the topic, the two sentences inherit the topic, and then the talk, start, shares, middle shares, back shares, bundle shares, that's all. Now that you're familiar with memorizing the text, these formats are no longer difficult for you. ”

"Just learning the format, can the examiner be in the thousands of exam papers, his eyes will shine, he will be full of praise, and then click on your Weichen's name?"

Lin Yan said angrily: "Impossible! If you want to stand out, you have to write an essay that stands out and will wow! ”

Wei Chen nodded and asked softly, "Then how do you write such an article?" ”

"Reason, rhetoric, and qi are all three, and it is a good article!"

Lin Yan said in a deep voice, "Only such an article will make the eyes of the examiners who are dizzy after reading the papers brighten, like drinking elixir, stop and savor it." As long as there are no taboos in your essay, how can the examiner bear not to take you? ”

Wei Chen pricked up his ears and listened, secretly impressed in his heart.

Although this Mr. Lin is only a tribute eunuch, and it is better to raise people in terms of fame, but that is only because he has no intention of being an official and did not participate in the examination.

When it comes to learning and knowledge, Lin Yan definitely surpasses most of the lifters, and can even be comparable to Jinshi.

Such a well-educated person is about to teach Wei Chen the valuable experience he has been painstakingly seeking for decades, how dare Wei Chen slack off?

At that moment, he asked respectfully: "May I ask you, sir, how to achieve full sense of speech?" ”

I only heard Lin Yan say slowly: "The clarity of desire must be traced back to the Six Classics, and it is in line with the Confucianism of the Song and Yuan dynasties; If you want to say something, it must fit the theme, and take it from the book of three generations and two Han Dynasty; The Chang of desire must sprinkle his heart with righteousness, and immerse himself in the ancient texts of the Zhou, Qin, Shenghan, Tang and Song dynasties. ”

After speaking, Lin Changchang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wei Chen and said, "Do you understand what you should do next?" ”

"The student understood."

Wei Chen nodded and said softly: "Students should first read through the hundreds of schools of thought and ancient texts of the past dynasties, so as to lay a solid foundation, and only when they have something in their stomachs can they do a good job." ”

"Yes, the children can be taught."

Lin Yan said: "Knowledge-based, eight-strand body, if you only read Wenfu in order to take the exam, you can't realize the wonder of the scriptures, and you will never be able to write an article about the true pharaoh and flowers!" ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yan was probably touched, raised his voice again, and said with indignation on his face: "Today's students think that as long as they memorize a few high-level sermons and previous academic essays, they can follow the cat and try their luck in taking the exam." This kind of person, even if he is taught to be the first, it is also the bad luck of the court and the people! ”

He said with a sneer: "And these speculators can only deceive the examiners in one place, but it is impossible to pass the exam." Looking at the top of the gold list, which one of the Hanlin Academy is opportunistic in high school? Who is not a well-educated person with a full stomach? ”

Wei Chen was secretly ashamed when he heard this.

Since relying on his unforgettable talent to memorize the Wenfu for a month, Wei Chen has been a little complacent, feeling that there is no secret in front of him, and he has completely mastered the writing of Baguwen, even if there are many difficulties in the imperial examination, he can't stop himself.

But after listening to Lin Yan's story at this time, Wei Chen finally suddenly realized that he had a deeper and clearer understanding of himself.

Wei Chen's current articles, from the core to the structure to the penmanship, are all imitations of Cheng Wen, the predecessor in the literary house, and follow the same trend, without their own thoughts and styles.

Among the three ways of "rationality and rhetoric" mentioned by Lin Yan, Wei Chen only has one of the "rationalities", which is barely passable, which is because he has studied Cheng Zhu's annotations with a small success, which can be regarded as in line with Song Confucianism.

In addition, Wei Chen is far from learning the other two ways of "speech" and "qi", his words are empty, and his pen is full of clichés, which is why Wei Chen only focuses on studying the current texts in the literary house, and has no foundation in terms of rhetoric.

In later generations, Wei Chen is equivalent to never reading classic masterpieces, but just memorized the Chinese textbook, and then imitated the previous perfect score to write test-taking essays.

Relying on this kind of article, even if you are lucky enough to be able to show off your talents or lift people, you will definitely not be able to pass this level.

According to Lin Yan, every volume in the trial had to go through the hands of two scholars and three scholars, all of whom were well-read and well-memorized, so how could they mistakenly order an article that was empty and empty?

Looking at Wei Chen's wordless and thoughtful appearance, Lin Yan also nodded secretly beside him.

Even though his attitude towards Wei Chen was a little complicated, he had to admit that Wei Chen was the most talented student he had ever taught.

Needless to say, the most rare thing is that Wei Chen can understand it at one point, and he can always self-examine and introspect, people with this quality, even if there are difficulties and dangers in life, they will never be buried in the end, and they will definitely be able to come out.

"Ahem!"

Lin Yan cleared his throat and woke Wei Chen from his contemplation: "Wei Chen, have you written down everything that the teacher said?" ”

Wei Chen bowed and said, "The students have all written it down." Dare to ask sir, if students want to resign, what article should be the priority? ”

Lin Yandao: "You can first read the "Eight Great Scholars' Notes", learn from the Tang and Song dynasties, in order to take their breath, and then read the poems of the two Han Dynasty, and the sons of the Qin Dynasty first, in order to take their words." ”

Wei Chen nodded secretly when he heard this, the reading order that Lin Yan set for him was basically to fall backwards according to the dynasty, compared to the articles of the three dynasties of the Qin Dynasty at the beginning, the articles of the Tang and Song dynasties were catchy to read, easier to use, and it was easy to read and then difficult.

Lin Yan took a thick stack of Tang and Song dynasty banknotes from the bookcase and handed it to Wei Chen: "You go back today, first read this banknote for three days, then review the scriptures and meanings for two days, and then come here for the teacher in five days, solve your doubts for the teacher, and examine your knowledge." ”

Wei Chen solemnly took the book, bowed and said, "Students obey the teacher's orders. ”
