Chapter 143: The Master of Problem Solving (I)

In the entire imperial examination level, the prefectural examination is not high. The examination procedure of the prefectural examination is similar to that of the prefectural examination, and there is no essential difference.

Because of the same city of the prefecture and county, the examination rooms of the Suzhou Prefecture Examination and the Wuxian County Examination are the same, but the examiner has changed from the prefect to the prefect.

Sitting in this examination room again, twelve-year-old Feng Menglong felt that he was already an old candidate.

Compared with the nervousness of the last county test, Xiao Feng Menglong's mood has relaxed a lot this time.

In particular, he was assigned the auspicious seat number of "C29" again, which made him feel at ease.

Last time, he was in this position and passed the county exam.

Until a huge shadow appeared out of thin air and enveloped him.

Xiao Feng Menglong looked up to the side, only to see the man named Lin Tailai smiling at him, and said in surprise: "Such a coincidence, you and I have the same seat number as last time." ”

In low-level exams like the county and government exams, the questions will not be weird, and they are generally complete sentences, not truncated questions.

The topic of this government test is "The gentleman is sick and unworthy of his name".

After the exam began, Lin Tailai borrowed the original text from Xiao Feng Menglong next to him and wrote it silently, and then started to write the article.

The county government does not test the policy theory, and the article written is commonly known as the eight-strand text.

Bagu Wensuan is a genre of essays with a fixed format, and the structure of the whole text is subdivided into several parts.

Moreover, the content must be made in the tone of a saint, and the righteousness cannot go beyond the scope of Cheng and Zhu's commentaries.

In addition, there are many detailed requirements, and there are a lot of rules and regulations, which people who are not intensive in the eight-strand text do not understand it at all.

Take the most important opening to solve the problem, don't look at the problem solving part, there are only three or four sentences before Wanli, and there are only two short sentences after Wanli, but the rules are also very complicated.

Breaking the topic of two sentences with the above is called connecting, and the language invading the following is called committing; If the meaning of the topic is not broken, it is called a missing question, and if all the words of the topic are written out and cannot be blended, it is called a scolding question.

The names of the so-called saints, sages, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, King Wen of Zhou, and King Wu of Zhou cannot appear in the name of the so-called saints, sages, and Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, King Wen of Zhou, and King Wu of Zhou, nor can the names of birds, beasts, plants, trees, and utensils appear, all of which must be pronounced.

Break the topic in two sentences, the previous sentence can not use imaginary words such as "also, Yan, only", and can only be used in the next sentence, otherwise it is incomprehensible.

If one of the above mistakes is made, the test paper will be judged to be unqualified.

There are so many rules in just two sentences, and the rules and regulations of the entire eight-strand article can be imagined.

So it's not that smart people really can't write Bagu Wen, smart people like Wang Yangming, Tang Yin, Tang Shunzhi, and Zhang Juzheng are all masters of Bagu Wen.

But smart people who can't match the brainwaves can't write Bagu essays well, and such people can't write articles wantonly, without adding points, and can't stand the constraints of rules and regulations.

For example, Wen Zhengming and Gui Youguang, the two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks, end up hitting the street every time they take the eight-strand essay.

In response to the title of "The Gentleman's Illness Is Not Worthy of His Name", Lin Tailai wrote with a brush: "There is no name for future generations, and the saints are worried." ”

These two sentences can be regarded as breaking the topic at the beginning of the article, laying the theme and idea of the whole article.

Then he continued to write the second part of the eight-strand essay on the topic: "The name of the husband for the time does not need to be there, and the name of the future generations cannot be without." Therefore, the gentleman does not seek fame, and he has to be anxious about this. ”

Until the whole article was completed on the draft, about 700 words.

After Lin Tailai copied it again, he got up and handed in the paper.

The government exam is not vague, and the paper is handed over directly to the examiner, that is, the prefect Zhu Wenke.

Lin Tailai was not the first to hand in the papers, and there were more than 20 people in front of him to submit the papers.

According to the regulations of the examination room, it is not possible to leave the examination room after handing in the papers, and the door will be opened to let this batch go out only after it is full of 50 people.

Therefore, those who hand in the papers first can only stand on the sidelines, waiting to gather enough people.

Many classic jokes of questions and answers between examiners and candidates happened in this scene.

Lin Daguan always thought that his house test was a formality, so after handing in the papers emotionally, he had to turn around and wait for the release of people in the crowd on the side.

But the chief examiner Zhu Zhifu opened his mouth and asked, "Are you Lin Tailai?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "It is in the next place! ”

In today's examination room, it is indeed the first time that Zhu Zhifu has seen this newly famous subordinate Diao Min with his own eyes.

was stopped by the examiner, Lin Tailai couldn't leave, so he had to stand in front of the exam and wait for the questioning.

Zhu Zhifu glanced down at Lin Tailai's article a few times, and asked casually, "You wrote this?" ”

Lin Tailai asked rhetorically: "Naturally, it was written below, what is the evaluation of Futai?" ”

Zhu Zhifu implicitly sarcastic: "Is this good or not, is it meaningful to you?" ”

He doesn't believe it, with your Lin Tailai's great ability, you can still get the exam questions in advance?

After having the exam questions, isn't it easy to find a gunner to write an essay in advance?

Lin Tailai heard what Zhu Zhifu meant, and immediately felt sad and indignant that the frost was flying in June, what kind of grievances are higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!

He did cheat and borrowed the original text from the next seat, but the exam-taking essay was really written by himself!

Why are there so many people in this world who judge people by their appearance, can't he Lin Tailai write articles?

In addition, the more than 20 people who handed in the file also whispered and talked about it when they heard the prefect's words.

Suddenly, a young scholar seemed to be encouraged by the prefect, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "In Xiadongshan, Wang Yusheng wants to ask Lin for an article!" ”

After hearing this name, the surrounding discussion became a little louder, and even Lin Tailai looked at this person a few more times.

Taihu Dongshan Wang Clan, one of the four major families in Wu County, is famous for being half Confucian and half Shang.

In other words, it is rich and powerful, not ordinary rich and powerful.

For example, there are eight major merchant gangs today, and the most famous is the Hui merchants.

In addition, there are the Longyou Merchants in Zhejiang, the Jiangyou Merchants in Jiangxi, the Shanxi Merchants in the West, etc., and the Merchants Gang representing Suzhou is the Dongting Merchants.

This Dongting is not Dongting Lake, but East Dongting Mountain and West Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, referred to as Dongshan Mountain and West Mountain, and the Dongshan Wang family is one of the leaders of the Dongting Merchant Gang.

A hundred years ago, the Dongshan Wang clan had a bachelor's pavilion elder Wang Wei who almost connected to the middle school, and his status in the Suzhou literary circle was also extremely high.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Suzhou's morale was sluggish when it was suppressed by Emperor Taizu.

Later, the Suzhou Shilin Renaissance was led by the champion Wu Kuan and Wang Wei.

In fact, there were three generations of bigwigs who led the Suzhou Renaissance back then, Wu Kuan and Wang Wei were only the second and third generations, and the first generation was Xu Youzhen, who Suzhou people are reluctant to mention.

In today's Suzhou City, Wang Wei left behind three gardens, including a garden covering an area of 80 acres.

Moreover, the north-south main road on the side of the west city wall, and the bachelor's street that Lin Tai must pass through to go to the county government are named after Wang Wei, which shows Wang Wei's status in the Suzhou literary circle.

And the Wang Yusheng standing in front of Lin Tailai is Wang Wei's great-grandson.

Originally, others were still wondering, who dared to come out to challenge Lin Tailai, it was just dead.

But if it's someone from the Dongshan Wang family, then it's no problem.

Governor Zhu smiled and said, "Could it be that Wang Sheng is not convinced by the head of the county trial?" ”

Wang Yusheng also saluted to Zhu Zhifu and said: "The head of the county case is the face of a county, and he is also a person from Wu County, how can he not cherish his face?"

The face is smeared with dirt, and it is normal for people to want to wipe it off, and I hope that Futai will understand. ”

Lin Tailai looked at Zhu Zhifu and Wang Yusheng suspiciously, and said loudly:

"The house is on top! Isn't this friend Wang the childcare you found?

As soon as Futai questioned it, Friend Wang took the initiative to jump out, feeling very tacit, like singing and harmonizing.

If the government wants to try to get rid of the government, it will be removed directly, so why collude with the Dongshan Wang family and cover up this move! ”

Zhu Zhifu: "."

Today, I went through countless materials and didn't find anything new, and the classic paragraphs of the imperial examination have been used by others, what should I do。。。。。 I had a headache all night
