Afternoon, Question 3.

"The countries in the world can be equal, Juelu can resign, the white blade can be followed, and the mean is impossible!"

The source of this question is written directly on the question stem.

Confucius Sage said in "The Mean, Chapter 9" that the country in the world can be governed, the officials and lords can give up, and the snowy blade can be trampled through, but the mean is not easy to do.

People's hearts are biased and different.

Chen Ping is ready to use the benevolence of the Son of Heaven to calm the government and the opposition, if he can't be modest, he should focus on the overall situation.

I believe that you can get nine out of ten.

Sunrise and sunset.

After the answer is completed, it is submitted to the on-site officer, which is called "handing in the paper".

However, candidates cannot leave the examination room immediately, and must wait for the number of people to reach forty or fifty, and the county order will personally remove the seal on the door before leaving, and then re-lock and seal.

The first appearance is called "putting the first card", generally within two hours after the start of the exam, and then "putting the second card" and "putting the third card" until the last "last card".

There is no time limit for the exam, but candles are not allowed, so in the evening, even if you don't finish the answer, you will have to leave the course.

The first time was over quickly, and it was time to hand in the papers.

Some children were about to move, probably wanting to leave, but unfortunately the rules of the DPRK and China, if the fifty people in the field did not stop writing, they would not be able to move at all.

When the sun completely set, Wu Xian Ling finally got up and looked around the audience with sharp eyes.

Announced: "Submit the papers, seal the field!" ”

A lot of people could be heard sighing at the scene.

At this point, the first exam of the county examination is over.

The release of the results of the first game is generally three to four days after the test, which is called "incident".

At the time of the incident, the passing candidates were arranged in a group of 50 people in the order of achievement, and the names were arranged in a circle like the words of a clock, and the order was to advance in a counterclockwise direction from directly above.

The first fifty are the first picture, followed by the second picture, the third picture, and finally a group of less than 50 people is also made into a picture, but the gap in the middle is increased.

Those who pass the case can continue to take the county examination and take the next re-examination.

Chen Ping packed up his things and left the examination room with the examination basket.

Li Yang was still waiting outside the examination booth.

"Teacher!"

Several people stepped forward together, all smiling.

Li Yang comprehended and laughed, "Don't say more, get in the carriage first." ”

"I expected them to come up with four book questions, this book is also a traditional rule, but I never thought it would be so simple this year!"

Ye Chongwen said excitedly.

He Qingxuan couldn't help but be a little excited, "Yes, the student was only afraid that the exam questions would go off the rails, and he also memorized many Confucian essays. ”

Li Yang smiled, "This is just for you to move your wrists, and prepare for the next exam." ”

It was indeed too early to be happy, and the three of them gathered their minds and returned to the inn, waiting for the first results while reviewing.

Three days later, the results of the first game were announced.

Chen Ping, Ye Chongwen, and He Qingxuan are all in the first picture at the front.

The next day, the same process as the first game.

Roll call, verification, search, seating, and questioning.

There are two exam questions, one question in the four books, one question in the Five Classics, and as for one more question, even Li Yang is not sure.

Chen Ping hurriedly glanced at the exam questions after getting them, and it was not difficult to ask one question in four books, but he paused on one question in the Five Classics.

"Heaven is only mourning, if the husband is a husband, he will dare not end up in the mu."

This is the Zhou book "Great Message" in the Five Classics "Shangshu", which contains a large number of imperial decrees.

Zhou Gongti: Heaven descended to extinguish sin, like a farmer removing weeds.

This question...... It's hard to answer.

When the Son of Heaven removes weeds, isn't it a purging of government affairs? Although it is in the examination room, it is very dangerous to talk about the government in vain.

Chen Ping stared at the word "mourning" and pursed his lips slightly.

He steadied himself and picked up his pen to examine the words on the scratch paper.

At the end of the second game, Chen Ping and the three of them no longer had the excitement of the headless game.

Ye Chongwen hugged his exam basket and blinked his eyes, "The second question is okay, the third question is actually from the Legalist "Book of Shang Jun", it is inevitable that the sword will go sideways!" ”

Everyone is a child of Confucianism, although they also collect the essence of Legalism, but they didn't expect to take this exam in the second game.

"That's the case with the imperial examination," Li Yang disagreed, "If you expect to succeed, do you still need others to pass the exam?" ”

The children looked at each other and finally sighed.

There is one more poem in the third scene, and it is not difficult to come up with the question, chanting "Wencheng Wude".

Looking up to the Son of Heaven, in order to seek insurance, all the candidates either tried their best to pat on the back, or complained with reluctance.

Chen Ping spared his head and wrote words such as "the virtue of Yao Shun, the prosperity of the Tang and Han dynasties, the expansion of the frontier wilderness, and the fishiness of driving the hair" to show his respect for the son of heaven.

In the fourth scene, the poem finally came.

According to Li Yang, on the fourth day of the exam, the overall situation has been decided.

As for the final fifth scene, if there is no absolutely unearthly strategy, most of them will not be able to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

Chen Ping stared at the title of the poem, with a sad face.

"Momei."

If you want Mei, he has.

If you want ink, he has it too.

But this Momei ......

A poem that he had read in his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind, and he silently recited: "Wang Da Poet...... Thank you, take it to the rescue. ”

Then he put pen to paper.

There are 3,000 inkstone pond trees, and the flowers are pale and the ink marks are colorful.

The color does not need to be praised by others, and I am full of energy!

After a series of exams, the three children passed all the way, and finally entered the final five.

Chen Ping finally waited for the topic he had been curious about.

"The country does not take profit as profit?"

Nowadays, the reputation of the dynasty is light poetry and songs, and the time is important to plan the scriptures.

But I didn't expect the county test to be so pragmatic.

This quote comes from the "University", which means that the state should not regard wealth as profit, but should be based on benevolence and righteousness, which is the way of self-cultivation.

However, after self-cultivation, there are still words of Qi family governing the country and leveling the world.

Do not accumulate wealth and promote corruption, keep the middle festival to policy virtuous ministers, and cultivate oneself is to secure the people and the country!

Chen Ping thought of what happened in the past, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He took a deep breath and withdrew his attention.

In the examination room, you should not be happy with things, and you should not be sad with yourself.

Self-cultivation and Taoism, and the world is the ultimate ideal of literati and inkmen.

If we want to solve this problem, we must start with "country".

This question seems to be easy to write, but in fact, the content of the question stem is extremely large, and if you want to stand out, you must choose its essence to make people shine.

Strategists, inquire, concuss, and discuss.

In today's words, it's the typical "what, why, how".

Chen Ping's idea is to put the country first, follow the officials, and the people as the auxiliary.

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, the ancestors created the prosperous era of Haiyan, and the three talents were in Tufu, so that there was a court and a field Pingtai."

"The princes are tireless, the Son of Heaven governs the country with benevolence, and he is only a finger in his ordinary years, so he does not dare to carry the Ding, and it is difficult for China to fill Kyushu, and his contempt is not enough to promote the world. There is only one word, please make it heard, the foundation of the prosperous era and the eternal distance of the country, not the permission of the government and the opposition, but the responsibility of the pure officials and ministers......"

He is engrossed, moving his pen like flying, and writing like a god.

After drying the pen and ink, I found that there was no one around, but the sky was gradually darkening.

Chen Ping looked out, and before he could react, he heard the voice of Wu County's order in front of him.

"Stop writing, stop writing! Confiscation of answer sheets. ”

Chen Ping handed in his papers and walked out of the examination shed, and all the exams in the county examination ended.

He Qingxuan jumped up at the gate of the examination shed and said hello, "Here!" Over here! ”。

"How about Chen Ping?" Ye Chongwen ran over excitedly and asked, "Today's exam questions are just some basics, you will definitely win." ”

Although Ye Chongwen is not good at strategy, the five-fold question type is really easy to play.

Chen Ping wanted to tease them, so he pretended to be deep and said, "It's not good. ”

"Not good?!"

He Qingxuan hurriedly asked, "Are you off topic?" ”

Ye Chongwen gasped, "How much is it off, shouldn't it?" How can this kind of question be answered wrong? Touched Chen Ping's forehead, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Looking at their anxious looks, Chen Ping knew that the joke was too big, and he was about to explain, but he heard a few sneers from behind.

"Can you deviate from this kind of question?"

"Ye Wenchang's senior apprentice is nothing more than that!"

"It's ridiculous to say that he is a prodigy of Huating Academy."

A few familiar faces, in the center are the scholar surnamed Wang who went out of Huating Academy.

Before Chen Ping could react, Ye Chongwen darkened his face first.

"Chen Ping is off topic, and he will do better than you in the exam!"

"When the county test results come out, I think you won't even be able to make the list!"
