Approaching dusk, it finally rained heavily. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) Pedestrians on the streets rushed to their homes, and soon there were fewer people on the roads.

A horse-drawn carriage dragged a coffin with oiled paper on top to protect it from rain. In front of the carriage sat two people, an old man and a young man. Neither of them had an umbrella and let the rain wet their bodies. The young man kept sobbing, and he didn't know whether it was rain or tears that slipped out of his eyes, and the old man's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know if he was crying.

The carriage walked in the direction of the south city gate out of the city, Jiang Xia, Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong watched the carriage leave in civilian clothes, and the body lying in the coffin dragged by the carriage was the one of Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian. He walked into Jingshi from the south gate a few days ago, but when he left, he turned into a cold corpse. Fate is unpredictable, and who can really grasp it?

Watching the carriage gradually disappear into the rain, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone in the world says that the emperor is loyal and honest and has no ambition, but who can know that he is actually resourceful and calculating? ”

"Are you really so grateful to me?" Jiang Xia suddenly looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked.

Zhu Houzhao immediately became vigilant, he took a step back, and even Zhang Yong, who helped him with an umbrella, also took a step back. Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Thank you very much." ”

Jiang Xia smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Then tell me, what are the questions of the palace exam that you are going to take in three days?"

Zhu Houzhao also smiled, and then said with a wide face: "You will naturally know in three days." After speaking, Zhu Houzhao said loudly: "Swing and go back to the palace!"

"Drive back to the palace!" Zhang Yong shouted, and two teams of brocade guards ran out of the rain, and a luxurious and exquisite carriage pulled by three jujube red high-headed horses was sandwiched between the two teams of brocade guards. Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yong walked towards the carriage together, only to hear Jiang Xia shouting behind him: "I don't care, if I am not the champion, I will not write the eleventh episode of "Golden Vase Plum". ”

Zhu Houzhao's footsteps paused, but he still couldn't help but ignore Jiang Xia and continue walking. Jiang Xia continued: "I sue SΓΉ Chunmei that you peeked at her taking a bath!"

Zhu Houzhao paused again, this time he stopped a little longer than the last time. In the end, though, he took a firm step.

Jiang Xia shook his head, and he said in a low voice, "You forced me to make a big move." ”

"I won't tell you that there is a way to make Tong Zigong break the vows three times!"

"What?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly jumped up with a scream, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Jiang Xia and said, "Oh, good brother, my good brother." You are handsome, dashing, suave, and talented, and no one is your opponent in terms of intelligence, and no one is your opponent in terms of appearance. I, Zhu Houzhao, are fortunate enough to be brothers with you, you are really"

"Hmph!" Jiang Xia ignored Zhu Houzhao's series of endless sycophants, and walked away directly with an arrogant face.

However, where could Zhu Houzhao give up so easily, he immediately followed behind Jiang Xia with a shy face, and gave Jiang Xia wave after wave. Along the way, let alone the champion, Zhu Houzhao, the position of the cabinet assistant, pointed out that the sky swore that it must be Jiangxia.

Zhang Yong and Liu Jin, who were following behind Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Xia, couldn't help but look at each other, they all wondered if they were dazzled, this is really the emperor of the current day, the monarch of the Ming Dynasty?

After walking for a long time, Zhu Houzhao finally stopped, he glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled flatteringly. Jiang Xia shook his head, stretched out his right index finger and hooked it, meaning to whisper to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao immediately clung to his ears, with a look of excitement. Jiang Xia suddenly said loudly: "Fool, I lied to you, if there was really a way to break the vows, I would have sued you a long time ago." ”

"What?" Zhu Houzhao screamed again, and he roared loudly: "Jiangxia, you dare to bully the king?

The two teams of Jinyi guards immediately pulled out the embroidered spring knives on their waists, and the killing spirit only pounced on Jiang Xia through the rain, and even the Jinyi guards took out the Zhuge chain crossbow, and the direction of the crossbow arrow was directly facing Jiang Xia.

Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Xia were all taken aback, and Zhu Houzhao remembered that there were still Jinyi guards here, not only Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, who were used to hearing the two of them joking. Zhu Houzhao immediately shouted: "Stop! If anyone hurts Jiang Xia's cold hair, he will be wiped out!"

The brocade guards looked at each other, and the emperor's order changed too quickly. They were stunned for several seconds before they inserted the embroidered spring knife back into the scabbard, and the killing aura disappeared without a trace, and Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Xia no longer dared to joke with Zhu Houzhao in public, and Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to do the same.

The three days passed in a flash, and finally the day of the temple examination came.

The palace examination of the Ming Dynasty was held in the Baohe Hall of the Imperial Palace, and those who went to participate in the palace examination had to enter at dawn, and they were able to enter the Baohe Palace after three searches of Jiangxia. On the steps in front of the Baohe Hall stood a long table with a dragon chair and a yellow cloth, and a small long table under the long case, which was the position of several officials of the Ministry of Rites who were responsible for assisting in the invigilation.

For ordinary students, the palace test is the key to deciding whether they can leap over the dragon gate and soar into the sky.

Generally speaking, the title of the palace examination is nominally issued by the emperor himself, but in fact, there are usually Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the officials of the left and right attendants and officials of the Ministry of Rites to discuss with the emperor.

In the last imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao directly did not participate in any part of the palace examination, and the top three of the imperial approval list were also handed over to the then cabinet assistant Li Dongyang and several other cabinet ministers to negotiate and complete.

But this time it was different, the questions of the palace examination were given by Zhu Houzhao himself, and he did not tell the people of the Ministry of Rites in advance. Even Jin Gui wanted to know what the topic of the emperor alone this time was.

With such an important exam, all students will naturally not be late. When the people were almost here, the officials of the Ministry of Rites began to roll call, and after confirming that the people had arrived, they began to release the test papers. The so-called test paper is actually a piece of rice paper, but the place where the name and place of origin are specially printed on it.

After getting the rice paper, the ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites began to sing loudly the etiquette of saluting the emperor, the first item was "Greetings to the Holy One." ”

The students had to kneel on the ground immediately and wait for the emperor to come out of the side hall. Jiang Xia muttered in his heart, and he didn't know if Zhu Houzhao did it on purpose, so he knelt for a while before he walked from the side hall and walked all the way to the dragon chair.

Zhu Houzhao swept Jiang Xia, who was kneeling in the third place in the first column on his left, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Jiang Xia was also secretly scolding in his heart: "The eldest brother kneels to the younger brother, the sky is beating and thundering." However, because etiquette requires students not to look up at the holy face, Jiang Xia can only hang his head.

After a long while, the celebrant continued to shout, "Please." ”

Jiang Xia and the other students all knocked and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Zhu Houzhao coughed lightly, and then said, "Flat." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

After the students stood up, Zhu Houzhao nodded to Cui Zhengyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Cui Zhengyi shouted, "All students take their seats." ”

Jiang Xia was able to sit down.

Then Jin Gui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saluted Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, the students of the palace examination have arrived, and the ministers pray that the emperor will give the test questions for this subject." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Quasi-play." Then the two little eunuchs took out a beautiful wooden box and walked out, and Jin Gui knelt on the ground and shouted: "Emperor Xie." Then he got up and opened the lid of the wooden box, and took out a scroll from it and opened it.

At the moment of opening, Jin Gui was the first to see the test questions, and he was slightly stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Gui handed over the test questions to the two officials of the Ministry of Rites to hang on the lacquered mahogany frame, and then all the students saw the test questions.

And the moment he saw the test questions, Jiang Xia couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of saliva with a "poof".

The question of the test is "Gratitude and hatred since ancient times, and there will be no dust for thousands of years." ”。

The students in the hall were all confused, and some students who were familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "No, this is not a question in the Four Books and Five Classics, and there is definitely no such sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics." ”

Jin Gui coughed slightly, and an official of the Ministry of Rites immediately said sternly: "No noise is allowed in the hall!"

The students were immediately silent, but Jiang Xia couldn't help but raise his head and glared at Zhu Houzhao fiercely, if he could speak, he would definitely scold: "This cheater." ”

That "since ancient times, gratitude and hatred, thousands of years without dust." It is indeed not a sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics, its real source is the eleventh chapter of "The Golden Vase of Plums". Jiang Xia really didn't expect that there really was such a wonderful emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and he actually used the sentence in "Golden Vase Plum" as the palace exam question, but this question still looks similar.

When they saw this topic in the first year of junior high school, many students were helpless and had no way to start. But after thinking about it, everyone understands that you can't hand in a blank roll. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you are a sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics, I can just use the sentences of the Four Books and Five Classics to solve the problem.

As we all know, the most important thing in the eight-strand essay is the first item, breaking the problem. That is, to explain the meaning of the title in one sentence from the four books.

Jiang Xia's eyes suddenly lit up after thinking about it, and he wrote with a stroke of his pen: "What is the retribution of the sage's grievances? ”

With just such a sentence, the topic was immediately broken by Jiang Xia, and it was cleverly broken.

The meaning of Zhu Houzhao's title is roughly to talk about love and hate in the world, which will not change with the passage of time, and is a manifestation of obsession with grievances. And Jiang Xia's sentence of repaying grievances with straightforwardness and repaying virtue with virtue happened to answer the topic, telling Zhu Houzhao how to learn how to treat grievances with saints.

can use four books to deal with the golden bottle, I am afraid that Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao, a pair of wonderful brothers, can do it.
