In this part of the scripture, you only need to memorize to answer all the questions, which is the easiest for Xu Xian. The soul of the two lives was fused, and he was already unforgettable, and after he started his cultivation, he could be called a memory.

The scriptures and meanings that need to be memorized for the scientific expedition of the Great Li Dynasty are all stored in Xu Xian's mind.

In the words of the Earth of the Afterlife, this part is equivalent to sending a score question.

As for Moyi, although the difficulty of the scriptures has increased, in fact, it is still easy and simple as long as you memorize the scriptures by heart, and it is not a problem.

These two parts, Xu Xian's pen is smooth, and he answered them all in a short time.

Argument is the most important part of the whole exam.

He Liang said that it was the most difficult for Xu Xian, and in the previous tests, Xu Xian often asked thousands of miles in this separation. In fact, it's not like that, it's just that Xu Xian's knowledge in the past was too poor, not the material for reading, and rote memorization can still be made up for by diligence, but to let him discuss the current politics and offer advice to the court is to embarrass him, and he can't write anything remarkable after racking his brains.

However, the talents that the imperial court wants to select when holding the imperial examination is to be able to find people who are useful to the imperial court and can help govern the world.

If the strategy is not done well, no matter how good the other parts are, there will basically not be much to be done in the imperial examination.

"What is the reason for the collapse of the Five Kingdoms?"

Xu Xian looked at the first question in the strategy part, and after a little thought in his heart, he had a result.

The 'Five Kingdoms' was in the era before the Dali Dynasty, when there was no unified dynasty, but the five great vassal states divided the world, and the war lasted for hundreds of years. In the end, it was suddenly raised by a small country 'Qin State', which continued to grow and became the largest overlord, destroying the five countries and unifying the world.

Regarding the destruction of the Five Kingdoms by the Qin State, this is an enduring proposition for hundreds of years to come. Because there are so many aspects involved, there are always endless reasons.

Because the officials, politics, army, and common people of the Qin State all have commendable points, which is one of the reasons why they were able to successfully annex the Five Kingdoms in the end.

Dynasties change, and later dynasties will also learn from Qin's policies in many ways.

Relying on this question is not so tricky, but it can divide the quality of the candidates.

There are a lot of things that can be written about this proposition, and as long as you have real talent and real learning, it is easy to write excellent articles that make people shine.

However, if the candidate is stupid, he can take a shortcut.

Before this, too many predecessors and sages have used this to write articles, using the views of a certain predecessor to push the old and travel, slightly change, and describe it in their own words, and the government test can barely pass.

If it was the previous Xu Xian, he would probably take the second path.

But now Xu Xian is naturally impossible.

......

......

Xu Xian chose to answer the simplest scriptures and Moyi first, but the order of some people's questions is related to his ideas, and they will do the following strategies or poems first.

For example, the famous prodigy Fang Zhongyong.

For him, the questions of scripture and Moyi are too simple and not the slightest difficulty, and he is not very interested in answering, so his eyes are first focused on strategy and poetry.

When he saw the topic of the strategy, he also pondered it a little, and then began to write it.

What he wrote, naturally, was a new point of view that no one had ever written, and it was amazing enough.

At this time, outside the examination room, several people wearing official uniforms and hats were patrolling. Among them, the first person was wearing a cyan official robe, embroidered with a white pheasant, and wearing a ribbon plate carving, and this person was Xu Zhengqing, a scholar and politician in Hangzhou.

Xu Zhengqing was a scholar and the first in the period of the previous emperor Shenzong, and served as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but he fell out of favor in the imperial court for some reason, so he was relegated to Hangzhou Mansion to do academic politics.

But after all, it is from Beijing, and falling out of favor for a while does not mean anything, maybe I don't know when he will be transferred back to the capital in the future, so even if Xu Zhengqing has no grade, the prefect of Hangzhou will give Xu Zhengqing face.

Generally speaking, Xu Zhengqing does not need to personally inspect the children's examinations, he only needs his subordinates. When it comes to the hospital examination, it will pay attention to a few points.

But Xu Zhengqing still came today, because the disciple he accepted, the prodigy Fang Zhongyong, was also in the examination room.

"Huh, there's a surge of talent!"

Xu Zhengqing and a group of officials were chatting casually, when their expressions suddenly moved, and they looked towards an area of the East Building.

Ordinary people can't sense anything, but anyone who has the authentic official rank of the Great Departure Dynasty feels something in their hearts at this time, and obviously feels that after a 'talent' hovers for a while, it breaks through the roof, and finally blooms like a flower in the sky.

"Wonderful pen makes flowers! You can do it during the government exam, our Hangzhou Mansion hasn't appeared for many years, right? The last one, or the number one talent in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Pan......" someone was surprised.

"That should be Fang Zhongyong's location, right?" Someone had a smile on his face, and turned to Xu Zhengqing and said, "Congratulations to Master Xuezheng for accepting a good apprentice." ”

Before a scholar becomes famous, even if he is talented, he cannot have 'talent'.

Talent is different from Haoran righteousness. If the exact analogy is more like a kind of 'luck'!

Therefore, only after going through the imperial examination and being recognized by the Dali Dynasty can you be useful. Because in the Dali Dynasty, the imperial court is equivalent to the controller of luck!

Fang Zhongyong participated in the government examination, and when the results were not yet available, he was full of energy in the examination room, and his wonderful pen was full of flowers, which means that his position as a child this time has been recognized by the Dali Dynasty in advance.

It's equivalent to an early qualification!

This is very difficult, and in every government test of the entire Dali Dynasty, there are no ten geniuses who can 'prove the throne' without a result.

The heroic righteousness that Xu Xian used to subdue the demon last night was different.

Although Haoran righteousness is mostly possessed by scholars, it is a combination of talent and mana, even if a scholar does not participate in the imperial examination, if he is an extraordinary talent, he can still cultivate it.

......

......

Hearing everyone's praise of Fang Zhongyong, Xu Zhengqing didn't speak, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with his apprentice.

Fang Zhongyong is indeed the biggest gain he gained when he was demoted to Hangzhou Mansion.

Having such a talented and intelligent disciple will also help him in the future. So after meeting Fang Zhongyong's talent for the first time, he took the initiative to accept apprentices.

"Didn't you say today that Xu Xian, who made 'If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate', also took the exam? What direction is he, I don't know what kind of performance he will have. Xu Zhengqing asked.

Xu Xian's fame has been completely spread in Hangzhou because of this song "Drinking the Lake After the Rain", from the children who just went to private school to Xu Zhengqing, who are all heard of by court officials.

Of course, Xu Zhengqing heard that it was mainly because of his baby daughter Xu Mu'e.

Since the last time they were separated on the edge of the West Lake, Xu Mu'e has put aside her prejudices against Xu Xian, praised him greatly, and mentioned it in front of Xu Zhengqing many times.

Originally, Xu Mu'e only admired the two young talents the most, one was Lin Fei, who went out of the city with her to meet Xu Xian that day, and the other was her little junior brother, Xu Zhengqing's disciple Fang Zhongyong.

But now, the person she admires the most seems to have become Xu Xian.

For a period of time after Fang Zhongyong's talent surged, the entire examination room was silent, and no abnormal situation occurred, and everyone roughly understood in their hearts.

"This Xu Xian heard that his talent and knowledge are actually not very good, and it should be a fluke to be able to make this famous poem, right? In terms of strategy, it should be far inferior to Fang Zhongyong. ”

"yes. If you can make good poems, you may not be able to shine in the imperial examination. ”

Everyone said.

There are even humanitarian people: "I heard that there are still rumors that in fact, this poem was not written by Xu Xian at all, and many of his classmates in Qiantang County thought that it was impossible for him to make such a wonderful poem." The real author of this poem is probably someone else, and he is suspected of stealing the work of others. ”

This kind of rumor was naturally spread by Li Chong, who made a bet with Xu Xian.

Xu Zhengqing shook his head and didn't comment.

He hoped that there would be more amazing geniuses in his jurisdiction, so that he would also have the power of edification. If this student can shine brightly, rise to prominence, and finally be able to leap into the dragon gate and have the opportunity to face the saint, he will also benefit a lot.

It's just that in his heart, he actually feels that a person who was not famous and not very smart suddenly made a chapter to the world, which is indeed a bit incredible.

But in any case, this government test is a touchstone.

Whether there is real talent and real learning, it will be tested.

......

......

In the house, the little boy Fang Zhongyong stopped his pen and saw the strategy he had made, and his little face was still the same serious face that did not smile.

"This is one of the best articles I've ever written, and it's extraordinary. With this article, you should be able to beat Xu Xian, right?"

Thinking of this, the perennial tense face finally showed a smile, although it seemed a little abnormal......

......

......

"Is it the reason for the collapse of the Five Kingdoms?"

Xu Xian thought for a while, recalled for a while, and then picked up the pen and wrote: "The destruction of the Five Kingdoms is not good for non-soldiers, the war is not good, and the disadvantage is bribing Qin." Bribing Qin and losing strength is also the way to ruin. Or said: The five countries mourned each other, and bribed Qin Ye? Therefore, it is said: The disadvantage is to bribe Qin. ”

That's right, what Xu Xian wrote was Su Xun, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties in his previous life, that is, Su Shi's father's classic "Theory of the Six Kingdoms".

Xu Xian changed the Six Kingdoms to the Five Kingdoms.

In Xu Xian's memory, since the Qin State, including the Dali Dynasty, most of the views written by countless people on the collapse of the Five Kingdoms are based on the Qin State itself, and few put the reason on the Five Kingdoms themselves.

Now, Xu Xian is bringing this point of view out.

The reason for the collapse of the Five Kingdoms is not that the weapons are not sharp and the battle is not good, but that the disadvantage lies in the continuous cutting of land and bribery of the Qin State!

Moreover, the current Dali Dynasty is somewhat similar to the situation of the Song Dynasty on the earth in the previous life.

Although the Dali dynasty itself is still rich and prosperous, and the people live a good life, it is actually full of internal and external troubles and contradictions. Several countries in the barbarian land repeatedly violated the border, burned and looted within the territory of the Dali Dynasty, and bad news came from the border every year.

However, within the Great Departure Dynasty, although there were many people who were filled with righteous indignation and advocated war.

However, a large number of officials advocate a policy of softness, not to fight hard with the barbarian country, even if it is to cede land and make amends!

These people are also famous, in order to ensure the prosperity of this peaceful singing and dancing!

But under this peaceful and prosperous world, there is filth everywhere, and the demons and monsters have become a little uncontrollable, and there are signs of chaos in the country.

Just like last night, Xin Twelve Niang, a fox demon unexpectedly appeared in the city of Hangzhou, ready to absorb Xu Xian Jingyuan.

If it were in the real prosperous world, the goblins would not dare to be so rampant.

The more turbulent the country, the weaker the suppression of youkai.

Xu Xian's "Theory of the Five Kingdoms" not only analyzes the reasons for the collapse of the Five Kingdoms, if you are a smart person, you can see at a glance that this article is using the past to satirize the present, but it is actually attacking those who advocate a policy of gentleness.

"Those who serve the country have no way to be robbed by prestige!"

Xu Xian, finally stopped writing.
