(Thank you for the generous gift of "3 Summer", thank you for the generous rewards of "Zhang Xiaomu", "Wutong Blowing Snow", "Shadow of Darkness", "Soul Town", etc.!)

On the first day of the township test, it passed in a flash.

The next day, when the morning sun was rising, many scholars and candidates had already woken up. After washing with the water sent and eating breakfast, I quickly buried my head in hard thought and continued the unfinished topic.

Each of the seven questions requires a small number of words. However, in the world, the most difficult thing to do is propositional essays. Especially in this high-stakes examination room, every word must be carefully considered before it is written.

Thinking, moving the pen, being careful, and keeping the volume neat and tidy are all factors that come together and are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Coupled with the lack of sleep and diet, in every township examination, there will be scholars who can't support it and fall down halfway and are sent out.

Ye Junsheng also woke up early, got used to it, and spent every day like this, in fact, it had little to do with whether the township test was or not.

After dealing with some trivial matters, I began to write and continue to answer the questions.

"The predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sex, what is the Mandate of Heaven?"

This is the sixth question.

"The predicate of the mandate of heaven is sexuality", this sentence comes from "The Mean", and there are two sentences after it: "The predicate of recklessness is the Tao, and the predicate of cultivation is teaching." ”

It probably means that nature is born, and nature should not be indulgent, but should be restrained by the Tao. What kind of Tao is used, of course, it is Confucianism.

Of these three sentences, the biggest controversy lies in the last word "teaching".

Later scholars mostly identified "teaching" as Confucianism, but there are often many interpretations of the literal language, and each interpretation is reasonable. If you put "teach". It makes more sense to understand it as "teaching" or something like that.

The sages have a saying, "There is no class in teaching". In terms of central ideas, the two actually fit quite well.

As we all know, later generations of science flourished. "Preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires". But it is extremely rigid dogmatism, often overkill, and extends the meaning of ancient books.

Ye Junsheng thought about it for a while, had a clue, and worked hard to write, and in about a quarter of an hour, an eight-hundred-word article was written.

When writing articles, I am often afraid of being short and not afraid of being long. Be concise and to the point. It's the hardest part.

Of course, in this era, it is impossible to produce long pieces, whether it is prose or scripture, and the length of a thousand words is the yardstick. If someone writes tens of thousands of words in a sloppy manner, they will not be recognized at all.

The Qin and Han dynasties are ancient and elegant, pay attention to the neatness of duality, and pile up rhetoric. The article is full of empty things, but it is a precedent for writing and irrigation.

However, this point will not work in the examination room.

Ye Junsheng did it in one go. I finished all the remaining questions one after another. Sitting upright, rubbing his hands, his face tightened. While you still have time, review each of the seven articles. See if there are any mistakes and so on.

Time passes little by little, after no doubt. He breathed a sigh of relief and folded the article. It's not time yet, so I close my eyes and rest.

When the time for the first assessment came, a deacon came down to collect the essay papers.

The entire examination room was very silent, except for the sound of the deacons and officials moving and the thin sound of paper turning. A group of scholars and candidates obediently handed in the papers, and did not dare to say a word.

If you make noise in the examination room and disturb the order, you will violate the law and will immediately be bombarded out of the field by the officers and soldiers in charge of order.

After the allotted break, the examiner announces the start of the second exam.

In the second session, choose one of the three questions, including one trial, five judgments, and three edicts, for a total of seven questions.

In this field, the level of government affairs and the ability to write official documents are assessed.

It can be said that the requirements for the second game are relatively simple compared to the first. After all, the routine is very good, although it is also a proposition, but many things are familiar to the candidates in their hearts, and they can be filled in one by one.

......

The three-day township test touched the hearts of countless people all over the world.

Hanlin Street, Chu Mansion, Study.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince traveled in micro-suits and came to talk to Chu Yunyu secretly.

"Yun Yu, it's the second day of the township test, what do you think?"

Chu Yunyu knew in his heart what the prince really wanted to ask, it was nothing more than how Ye Junsheng performed. However, now, it has long been out of control, and there is nothing to be done.

Ye Junsheng was in the examination room of the Gongyuan, no matter how powerful he was, it was difficult for him to interfere with the entry.

He groaned and said with a wry smile: "Ye Junsheng is talented, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." ”

The prince said: "When the boy tested, I heard that he was the first in the three tests. ”

Chu Yunyu replied respectfully: "Yes, this son has some luck in his body." ”

Regarding a series of issues such as Ye Junsheng's background, he had sent someone to investigate it before. In particular, the saying that "bookworms open their minds" is even more legendary.

After understanding, Chu Yunyu scratched his head a little, and contacted his own side several times in a row, but they were all cracked by the other party, and they were mysterious and mysterious. So I couldn't help but believe in the theory of luck.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangqi's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Chu Yunyu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, even if the township test allows this son to be lifted, there will be a test in the future, and the palace test will be held." There's a lot of room to maneuver, and we still have a chance. ”

Zhao Kuangqi sighed: "Now he is just a showman, and he can't deal with it repeatedly, and if he is lifted, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." ”

Chu Yunyu said: "No matter what, he doesn't have three heads and six arms. ”

Zhao Kuangqi shook his head: "The problem is that Ye Junsheng not only belongs to the second camp, but he is also deeply appreciated by the ninth sister. ”

Chu Yunyu was taken aback: "How could the Ninth Princess appreciate him?

"There are many things, I don't know very well, but I know that the ninth sister likes the poems written by Ye Junsheng very much. ”

When Chu Yunyu heard it, he couldn't make a sound. This matter can completely subvert the understanding of the ninth princess, how could this little dragon girl in the capital, the proud daughter of the sky, and a fairy-like character, like Ye Junsheng's poems...... No, I remember that the ninth princess herself is also quite fond of dancing and writing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, if you don't cultivate, you will be born with eyebrows, and she will definitely be an out-and-out talent.

In this way, it is not surprising that Zhao Emei appreciates Ye Junsheng.

No wonder His Royal Highness is so jealous of Ye Junsheng, everyone knows that the ninth princess is close to the second prince. If the two join forces, Zhao Kuangqi's position as the crown prince is really unstable.

Thinking about this layer, Chu Yunyu immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Highness, when the township test is over, the old minister must think hard and get rid of this big trouble for His Highness." ”

Zhao Kuangqi was very satisfied with his loyalty, and helped him up: "Yun Yu is really my Honggu, rest assured, on the side of the government and the opposition, I will bear it for you." What is needed, despite the opening. When he ascended the throne as the king of Japan, you were the first hero. ”

"Your Highness. ”

The two conspired in a low voice.

......

Xishan Temple.

Stinky monks, Huang Mengbi and others climbed high and looked into the distance. There was one person next to Huang Mengbi, and he was smiling at the sky. But he was dispatched to report on the events of Jizhou that day.

The stinky monk's eyes were shining, and he traveled through thousands of miles of space, staring at the sky above the capital, and watching the clouds of luck.

After a stick of incense, he suddenly stomped his feet and shouted: "The glow of the literary qi, surrounded and arched, the momentum of a dragon and a tiger, it must be on that Ye Junsheng!" (to be continued......)
