Just when Xu He was cursing someone in a circle, the handsome man said to Wu Xingbang: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the undergraduate examination is full of talents, but the articles in the top ten are the most exciting!" ”

Emperor Zhizheng said: "Needless to say, hand over the top three volumes!" ”

As a rule, the top 10 papers in the examination are all submitted to the Imperial Library.

But the emperor could not read them all.

Generally, after handing over all the top ten volumes, he picks a few to see the meaning, and just goes through the process.

But today, Emperor Zhizheng actually looked at the top three scrolls by name, which really made everyone under the stairs puzzled.

When the roll was handed over.

Emperor Zhizheng flipped through it, took out a stack from it and looked at it.

The emperor was reading the scroll, and the people around him naturally did not dare to disturb.

But the mouth does not speak, but the eyes can move.

Wu Xingbang turned sideways slightly, looking at the people in the hall with the residual light of his eyes.

Qin Yan, Xu Song......

Younger, more handsome face than me.

He frowned slightly, who is this? How did it appear in the Palace of Longevity?

Looking at the dress, he is not an official, but a small person.

Odd!

While he was puzzled, Qiu Teng also made the same move.

Traitors, Traitors......

Why, how did this kid end up here?

What did the man take him into the palace for?

Why can he enter the Wanshou Palace?

I can't see the emperor once a year, why should he?

After two incense sticks, Emperor Zhizheng said secretly while reading the scroll: "Everyone in this dynasty's articles, if Tang Shunzhi's article is a well-educated Confucian, then this son's article is a hero of Liangchen George." It's a real national weapon! ”

"This article "There is a Road to Making Money", as Wu Xingbang wrote, is solemn and elegant, really mellow and upright, no strange state, no color of algae collapse, no soft appearance, no arrogance."

"Read the text and get the reason for the text! See the grandeur of cultivation, see the shrewdness, the talent of the minister, and see the solid learning! ”

Although Emperor Zhizheng is the emperor, he must not be compared with the people present in terms of learning, except for Wang Ji and a group of eunuchs who are waiting, including Xu He, who can hang him in learning.

But I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run away.

After reading the article for so many years, he can still distinguish the good from the bad.

However, it is only limited to knowing the good and bad, and the specific good is still assisted by Wu Xingbang's comments.

To put it nicely: "Well, this comment is very meaningful!" ”

To put it mildly: "Thai pants are spicy!" ”

Emperor Zhizheng put down the scroll in his hand, and just when the peeking crowd thought that he would take out another scholar's scroll, the emperor raised his head and said: "Xu He, you just said that you are confident that you can be admitted to the top 50 in the examination, if the two presidents like your article, you can enter the top ten, but is there such a thing?" ”

Hearing the name Xu He, Wu Xingbang's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at the young man, it turned out that he was Xu He!

Xu He's head was full of sweat and said: "The minister is crazy! ”

Emperor Zhizheng said with a cold face: "It is indeed crazy! The two presidents are right in front of you, and the list of candidates is in my hands. Where was your name in it? ”

What's ......

Wu Xingbang and Qiu Teng glanced at each other, and a doubt was written in their eyes: "Is there something wrong with my brain?" ”

Xu He didn't expect that he was [really] not among the fifty, he suddenly oozed out of a cold sweat, and quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "Please Your Majesty cure the crime of the minister's big words!" ”

"Humph!" Emperor Zhizheng snorted coldly, "I won't go to see him after fifty, for the sake of your uncle, I believe you, it may be the widow of the house official......"

"I'll give you a chance, I will come up with a question myself, if you can answer to my satisfaction, then I will give you a top ten in the exam?"

Hearing this, Qin Yan and Xu Song's faces were not shocked, and they didn't know what these two were thinking.

Wu Xingbang and Qiu Teng showed strange expressions on their faces, and their hearts turned upside down.

Only Wang Ji didn't know why, he felt that this matter was too strange, besides, this was not in line with etiquette!

Xu He's mind was a little confused.

Can this be done?

Wouldn't it be criticized if it was spread out, and the emperor opened a back door for himself?

But think about it, why does the emperor still need to open a back door for himself?

The whole world is his family, whatever he says is what he says, he says that he is the champion, and others can't jump out of a fart.

All right!

I didn't do well in the exam, but I still had a chance to play overtime, and it was not in vain that I have been thinking about the affairs of your old Zhang family for this period of time!

Everyone was very curious, Emperor Zhizheng had never discussed the study of articles in front of the ministers for more than ten years, and today he made an exception for Xu He.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Zhizheng said: "There is a way in the world, and the Lile conquest comes from the Son of Heaven!" ”

Hearing this question, everyone present already understood what this person meant.

Which is this test of Xu He's literary talent?

This is testing Xu He's political correctness!

How could Xu He not understand.

This question is from the Analects.

What is the full text?

[Confucius said: "If there is a way in the world, then the conquest of rites and music comes from the Son of Heaven; There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes. Since the princes, Gai Shi Xi is not lost; Since the doctor, the fifth generation is not lost; The courtiers are in charge of the country, and the third world is not lost. If there is a way in the world, the government is not in the doctor; If there is a way in the world, people will not discuss it. ”】

This chapter is Confucius's analysis of the political situation in the Spring and Autumn period.

He greatly appreciated the Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang and Western Zhou dynasties of "the world has a way", because at that time, the Lile expedition came from the Son of Heaven.

"There is no way in the world" after King Zhou Ping moved eastward, after which the royal family declined, the princes competed for hegemony, and Zhou Tianzi no longer had the power to give orders. Since the dictatorship of the Ji family, the Lu State has the dictatorship of the retainers, the people's hearts and social order have been declining, and the social crisis is everywhere.

"If there is a way in the world, then the people will not discuss it", this sentence is a very useful warning to the rulers.

Knowing the context, it will be interesting to look at this question again.

How many meanings does the emperor want to express?

First of all, I am the orthodox of the world, and the decree issued from me is what all the saints think is right.

But what if not?

There's a problem in the world.

"What do you think about this, Player X?"

What do you think?

What else can you see?

I'm launching reactionary remarks here, so won't you be beaten up on the spot?

Political correctness?

I will!

At this time, Emperor Zhizheng said: "Wang Ji, go and bring a small case to Xu He, and show me the text written on the spot in this hall!" ”

Wang Ji just responded, but Xu He arched his hand and said, "Don't bother this old man!" Your Majesty, I can just dictate myself! ”

Qin Yan: "? ”

Wu Xingbang: "? ”

Qiu Teng: "? ”

Emperor Zhizheng: "???? ”

It is estimated that only Xu Song in the hall is not full of question marks, and his state at this time should be: "¥%......&*"

Brains are mushy!

Crazy, crazy!

This is related to the fate of your kid and our Xu family in the next few decades, you just ......

Xu Song never thought that one day, he would want to beat Xu He to death!
