Chapter 145: Exams

After solving the topic, the lecture became much simpler. A short sentence, "The ancients regarded this as etiquette as etiquette, but I must do it now, which may not be in line with the etiquette of the ancients; the ancients regarded this as etiquette as righteousness, but I must do it now, which may not be in line with the etiquette of the ancients." Although it is short and concise, it points out the purpose. How to do the next article just needs to revolve around etiquette and righteousness.

Chen Aojue did not expect that the legendary scriptures were so easy. He had tried several articles before, but none of them were ideal. Now he found that many obstacles were smoothed out at once.

In fact, it is easy to say it, but difficult to say it; some people write thousands of words in one go; some people are stumbled and unable to write for a long time.

To put it bluntly, when doing eight essays, the focus is on daily accumulation. The Four Books and Five Classics are the foundation. Only after reading the Four Books and Five Classics can you know how to start writing and how to solve the topic.

In addition, some knowledge beyond the Four Books and Five Classics must also be fully understood. The eight-legged essays in this era are not as good as those in later generations. As long as the format is not out of order, it can be self-consistent, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, it can be considered a successful work.

After all, it is actually empty and use countless words to build up a colorful article.

However, the meaning of the scriptures at this time is not standardized and the right to be independent is not limited to whether the article is good or bad, whether it can be self-consistent, whether it can be accumulated or what is meaningful.

To be honest, you must have your own point of view, and the point of view needs a lot of miscellaneous studies to support it. The bigger the vision, the broader the article you write.

The advantages of Chen Ao are here, etiquette and righteousness, etiquette and righteousness. Over the past thousand years, there have been thousands of articles about these two words. To write your own style and explain your own opinions, you must have something in your heart.

His writing was written in one go, but he took the meaning out of context and found that the etiquette and righteousness were interdependent and explained in the Four Books and Five Classics. The so-called "knowing etiquette and having righteousness" had righteousness, and if there is righteousness, then etiquette will be known by oneself.

In just a moment, etiquette and righteousness are tied together, making it airtight and make people unable to find flaws.

When a scripture is finished, Chen Ao straightens his waist and blows the ink marks, and feels a little proud in his heart.

Since time traveling, most of his so-called talent and knowledge have been excerpting poems from later generations. Chen Ao and thick-skinned, and they don’t think there is anything. Plagiarism is also a technique, and my buddy has copied it quite well.

However, this sutra was written by Chen Ao for the first time. Its structure is quite meticulous. It is not airtight to solve the questions and follow them. It is also considered a masterpiece. Half a year of hard work was not in vain. A few days ago, I just hugged and stayed up late to read Master Chen’s notes until dawn. Now I suddenly realized that the sutra is not too difficult.

"If I can't become an official in the future, I can still hold a scholar-student cram school! Hehe, it seems that I have mastered the skills of doing scriptures." Chen Ao thought proudly, put the scriptures aside and opened the second test paper.

The second test paper was written as a poem, but the question surprised Chen Ao, and it turned out to be the word "love" missing".

Chen Ao was slightly stunned and couldn't help but think in his heart, is it a bad thing if the guy who chose the topic had a fever? This is a study of a scholar with noble character. Taking the topic of lovesickness is too bad for the child!

The students and the students in the dynasty are old and young, the older ones are over 20 years old, and they are all young. The younger ones are only about ten years old and have not yet developed completely. It is strange that the people who choose the topic of "A Lovesickness" actually chose the topic of "A Lovesickness".

In fact, Chen Ao really wronged these officials who chose the topic. They were also very unfair. To set the questions, two conditions must be met. One is that the subject matter should be biased. To put it bluntly, it means that you must win by surprise and cannot let others guess the topic easily. Otherwise, they would have prepared poetry and entered the exam room and wrote it directly. What else can I take this test?

As for the second item, it is naturally not repetitive. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there have been no 1,000 exams and 800 exams. The previous test questions can naturally be taken, otherwise there will be repetitions.

But I have chosen all the test questions. Now, it is really difficult to choose a poem. As early as a month ago, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who chose the topic started to discuss it. It has been yesterday that I finally chose such an acceptable topic, Acacia, Acacia, who would have thought that the Ministry of Rites would think of Acacia as the topic. This is called a surprise victory, and it caught the candidate off guard.

Chen Ao concentrates his mind, lovesickness, lovesickness... These bastards are so insidious, but they can't help but not trouble my buddy. My buddy's love life is quite rich, so I won't be at a loss, but I have to think about it carefully.

Just like this, I fell into deep thought, sometimes I frowned, sometimes I shook my head, sometimes I smiled bitterly, staring at the white snow outside the examination room...

Under Jixian's door, a greenhouse was set up. At the door, two majestic imperial guards stood in the snow outside the shed, hanging their waists, with their tiger backs and bear waists, their eyes as lightning as lightning, and they were extremely majestic.

A charcoal pot was grown in the shed, and a cup of hot wine was held on Yang Jian's palm. Yang Jian was wearing a new jacket and a round-neck fur coat on the outside. His eyes seemed to be open and closed, and his other hand held his smooth chin.

The ones sitting on both sides of Yang Jian were Tang Yan and Cheng Yangling. Both of them were a little restless, but they were speechless. Especially Tang Yan, who occasionally added some carbon to the charcoal basin and used copper to tweak the charcoal fire, but just didn't say anything.

Early this morning, the Minister of Rites came to invigilate the examination, and then, even the inner minister in the palace came. Yang Jian was a complete slave in front of the official family, but after leaving the palace city, he was a powerful inner minister. This time, he came to supervise the examination according to the will of the official family.

Eunuch Yang is here, who dares not give face? Except for Yang Zhen who is in charge of the invigilator, these two priests are sitting here with him. But this Eunuch Yang is also worried today. Seeing that Eunuch Yang doesn't speak, no one dares to speak first.

Yang Jianjian was the most favored eunuch in the palace in the heart of the emperor. He had a clear understanding of the officials' thoughts. In previous years, he didn't care much about the officials' examinations. But this year, why did he call him?

Yang Jian remembered Zhou Zhenglai who came to visit yesterday. Duke Zhou and him had no conflict of interest for the time being, but their relationship was not warm. But yesterday, he came to visit him in person. Isn’t that Shen Ao?

As for the official family, what is the thought? Yang Jian felt in his heart that it might be related to Chen Ao.

Unexpectedly, a small prison student suddenly became the focus of attention. Yang Jian was not an idiot. The official family hoped that Chen Ao Chenglong would get a good grade. Therefore, the mood of this official family is now all placed on Chen Ao's head. Chen Ao was very happy in the exam, and there was nothing to say. If he didn't do well in the exam, then who would know who would send the thunderous anger?

He thought about it and couldn't help but think in his heart, what's the mystery of the government's emphasis on Shen Ao so much? Could it be that it's just a simple appreciation?

Based on his understanding of the official family, Yang Jian didn't believe it and admired it, but he was a little overreached when he valued it so much.

Unless the official has other plans, may it be...

Yang Jian became solemn and said nothing, then his expression relaxed again. He drank a sip of hot wine and looked around. His smooth chin slightly raised, but he said to Tang Yan: "Mr. Tang, I want to ask you something."

A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Yan's eyes, and then he said seriously: "Please give me advice."

Yang Jian smiled slightly and said, "I dare not take the instruction, I just asked casually. I don't understand this kind of study, but I just heard that there was a student named Chen Ao in the Imperial College. He got the first place in the first exam last time. I wonder what his knowledge is?"

Tang Yan was secretly surprised that it would be fine if the court officials value Chen Ao. After all, everyone is mixed in the literary circle. Chen Ao can do running script, treasure appraisal, and poetry, which can attract the favor of many people. But why did you, a father-in-law, ask about Chen Ao? Some of you have crossed the line!

Although he felt very slandered in his heart, he did not dare to show any contempt on his face. He smiled and said, "Dad, there are many kinds of knowledge. If you talk about poetry, Mr. Chen is the best in Bianjing. No one among the young talents can match him. He either boasts about Haikou. Such a young genius is rare even in a century."

"But..." Tang Yan changed his tone: "If it were the meaning of Lun Jing, Chen Ao would be quite talented, but now he is just like an ungraved jade, and it will take some time to achieve something."

Cheng Yangxing's eyes flashed, and a hint of joy flashed across the side.

This time, I got more than just poetry, but also the meaning of the classics. Cheng Yangxing couldn't guess his quality. Now, after Tang Yan said, it seems that this is Chen Ao's weakness, which is interesting. Tai students have always been good at the meaning of the classics, especially Cheng Hui, whose meaning and articles are ashamed of Cheng Yangxing.

Even if Cheng Hui's poems are not as good as the arrogance, if he can gain the upper hand in the classics, it is still impossible for him to die.

After hearing this, Yang Jian sighed slightly, thinking in his heart: "So, Chen Ao's articles on the classics are a shortcoming. It seems that even Tang Jijiu is not sure of winning. Alas, it's really worrying."

Tang Yan's words made Yang Jian's heart even more worried. He pursed his lips but stopped talking.

At this moment, a loud shout from the imperial guard suddenly came from outside: "Who is so bold that he dares to trespass the Imperial College!"

This sentence suddenly asked Yang Jian frowned. Today, the Imperial College and the Imperial College Entrance Examination, but at a very solemn moment, who was going to break in? This is not fun.

Seeing that Yang Jian's face suddenly became gloomy, Tang Yan saw this and quickly stood up and said, "Go and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp voice came from outside said, "I want to go in as soon as I want to go in, what does it have to do with you? Get out of here, I want to find Chen Ao!"

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, and Xun Chen Ao was again. The last time Chen Ao handed in advance, he was found by someone. This time, he must not repeat the same mistake. As he thought about it, he rushed out of the shed.
