It was spring in a blink of an eye, and new buds grew on the green trees.

The Liu Zhou case shocked Li Shimin for a long time.

In fact, this time, it was just a vent of Li Shimin's anger.

He knew more than anyone that there were so many people like Liu Zhou. Although he was the emperor, he could find one Liu Zhou, but... how could he catch one hundred and one thousand Liu Zhous?

After all, it was the issue of talent selection. Now he fully understood that eight out of ten ministers who were elected were ignorant of the sufferings of the people.

This undoubtedly made him look forward to the imperial examinations a little more, but... the only thing that makes people doubt is... can the ministers who came to the imperial examinations understand the sufferings of the people?

Li Shimin did not dare to be completely convinced of this.

But in his opinion, it is better to change than to have always been a stagnant pool.

In this examination, everyone in the world carried great expectations.

Once a person in high school is considered a real pillar of the country, he will become an official from the court since then.

Juren from all walks of life have been in Chang'an for a full winter.

Many inns in Beijing have already stayed in many juren who come to take the exam.

All those who can pass the imperial examination are talents in the world. Therefore, after these people arrived in Chang'an, many people soon came to visit. Once some aristocratic families fell in love with a Juren and thought that this person was extremely hopeful, they would have to deal with him first.

For a moment, Chang'an City's literary spirit became prosperous. Perhaps because of the influence of the imperial examination, there were many art-like people.

The exam is about to begin.

In Erpigou University, the teaching and research team conducted the last one-on-one mock exam.

The so-called one-on-one means that after the gentlemen of the teaching and research group divide the work, they gather the lieutenants to conduct cross-examinations. After the exam, they taste the article and point out where there may be mistakes. Of course... this kind of question setting... is based on the shortcomings of different candidates. Each candidate has his own weaknesses, and the teaching and research group conducts analysis? After the analysis, the question is set? After the question is set, it is corrected endlessly.

This way of playing is actually similar to the Olympic Games mode in later generations.

Those who can pass the imperial examination are all the top students in Erpigou, and these imperial examinations are equivalent to being enrolled in Olympic classes and undergoing special training.

After the past few months of sudden training, even Deng Jian, who has always worked hard, feels a little overwhelmed. His mind is full of various test papers, and he is corrected over and over again, which makes him feel a little exhausted.

Fortunately, the exam is about to start? The school decided to give them a day of vacation, but this holiday is just this one? But they are not allowed to leave the school, they are just repairing it in the school for a day.

On the day of the exam, dozens of the latest four-wheeled carriages stopped outside.

Deng Jian and others got up early? Then they went to see Chen Zhengtai together.

On such a special day? Chen Zhengtai had already gotten up and waited.

He accepted their teacher's rituals and then stood up. He encouraged them, "Today is the exam? Your Majesty attaches great importance to this? I hope you can do your best."

Deng Jian and others respectfully bowed and said: "Abide by the teachings."

Chen Zhengtai immediately smiled: "If you become an official in the future, since you are my disciple and old official, you must abide by the law? Take the people as your responsibility."

Deng Jian and others said again: "Abide by the teachings."

"Okay, let's go." Chen Zhengtai waved his hand.

Deng Jian and others seemed solemn. This... was an opportunity to truly change their lives. If they succeed, they would truly become pillars of the court. But if they fail, they would need to fight again in three years.

Three years... There are three years left after three years, but how many three years are there in life?

When they bid farewell to Chen Zhengtai, some people couldn't help but have a slightly red look.

Especially Deng Jian, he felt a little dazed. He thought that he was just a poor child. If he hadn't followed his father to avoid famine, he wouldn't have come to Erpigou by chance.

For Deng Jian, although Erpigou is not his hometown, he has long regarded it as his home.

Here, he settled down, he began to study, he entered school, he gradually began to emerge, and his ups and downs of life were all spent here.

It is precisely because of his hardships in life that he cherishes his present very much. And everything he can do to have is given by his master.

This is both a life-saving grace and a recreational grace. Besides the grace of raising parents, what else can be compared?

After leaving the school, he got on a four-wheeled carriage for the first time. He usually stayed in the school. Although he read the newspaper, there were advertisements about the four-wheeled carriage in the newspaper. Deng Jian... had only read it, but now he is riding it himself, but he feels that the seats here are too soft.

Yes, I am used to kneeling or sitting on hard objects, and suddenly sitting on something too soft, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone rushed to the Gongyuan and entered the venue in a row.

The examiner this time is still Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan is a well-known Grand Secretary in the world. He has several experiences in the imperial examinations. He can be said to have experienced many battles and rich experience.

The candidates all came to the table, and there were more than 600 Juren from all over the world. They were all proud, but when they saw these Juren from the school, they all showed strange looks.

Some people couldn't help but smile. They were the name of Erpigou, but the Juren in Erpigou is different from other Juren. They locked themselves in the school every day, and did not leave the door, and never negotiated with others. Although many Juren came to Chang'an for many days, this was the first time they saw these Juren in Erpigou.

At first, everyone was a little curious about these Erpigou Juren, but after all, they were well-known. Now that I read it, I feel that it is actually hard to win the reputation.

Then they put away their minds and entered the examination room.

Deng Jian is still the same, he is in a very calm mood. He has experienced such exams countless times in his life.

He was calm and composed until he raised the sign. Deng Jian looked up at the test questions and felt relaxed.

Exams are a torture for candidates.

But for examiners, isn’t this the case?

For example, Yu Shinan asked a strange question last time, and he was proud of himself at first, thinking that this question was difficult and would definitely stump scholars all over the world.

But who knew that Erpigou University was simply a scattered high school, which made Yu Shinan very discouraged for a while, so this time, he decided to increase the difficulty.

As for today's test questions... it was actually 'Zi See Nan Zi'.

As soon as this question was released, the slight sound of many people gasping in the examination room suddenly heard.

Obviously...the juren was stumped by this question.

This question is more unethical than the last one.

Last time I just dug a hole, and this question is not only digging all the holes for you, but also preparing the soil for burying you.

When Zi met Nan Zi, it actually came from the beginning of a passage in "The Analects of Confucius: Yongye".

On the surface, there are four words, but in fact... there is a mystery that has been hidden forever.

This is the case. When Confucius traveled around the countries, he came to Weiguo. The actual ruler of Weiguo was Nanzi, the wife of Duke Ling of Wei. Nanzi was charming and had a bad reputation. However, she admired Confucius' ability and character. When she knew that Confucius was coming, she respectfully invited Confucius to meet her. So the paragraph "Zi met Nanzi".

What makes Zi see Nan Zi the most suspicious thing is Confucius' reaction, that is, when Zi sees Nan Zi, Zilu doesn't say it (pleasant). Confucius pointed out: "What I have denied is that the heaven is disgusted! The heaven is disgusted!"

The usual understanding of this sentence is that after Confucius went to see Nanzi, his disciple Zilu was very unhappy and believed that Nanzi was a slut and that Confucius should not have had contact with her.

However, Confucius' answer was very strange, but he strongly denied that he and Nan Zi had any intimate actions, and even sweared: If I did anything, God would hate me.

To put it bluntly, this is almost a bit ambiguous story in the Analects of Confucius, which is obviously inconsistent with the image of Confucius, the most sage teacher.

Therefore, Confucian disciples rarely mention this case. You are all other people's disciples. Are you going to ruin the situation when you mention this matter?

After all, a man met a slutty woman in private. After the man met, he even sweared that he had done nothing, which was really imaginative.

But Yu Shinan specifically asked this question... It's the trick here.

You can use this allusion to reveal people's scars to write an article around such a broken thing, focusing on such a broken thing, focusing on Confucianism, managing the family and governing the country and pacifying the world, and also making it within two hours. It must be reasonable and well-founded, and also pay attention to grammar.

As soon as the question came out, the other examiners saw the question and their eyes were straightened, and then they looked at Yu Shinan with a strange look.

Yu Shinan felt so many gazes. He was still sitting calmly, slowly stroked his beard with his hands, looking at a happy and contented look.

Only he himself knew that there was actually a revenge deep in his heart. Although the methods seemed a bit disgraceful, he was the one who wanted to give out this tone!

Come on, let's come here this time.

…………

In the examination room, Deng Jian looked at the questions and was stunned for a long time.

The examiner who was patrolling along the way recognized Deng Jian, the Jie Yuan, the former one. When he saw him, his expression was stiff and his eyes were dull, he smiled in his heart and couldn't help but think: It seems that even Jie Yuan from Erpigou was stumped. It would be harder to solve this question today than climbing to the sky.

But this examiner didn't know... the reason why Deng Jian didn't speak for a long time was not because he felt it was difficult, but because... he took this question.

Not only did I pass the exam, but I also took it three times!

Speaking of which, when I first took this question, everyone's test scores were not ideal because the questions were too strange and everyone's mind was too twitching, so the result was naturally bad.

After that, the teaching and research group had to point out the problems over and over again based on their articles, and then a make-up exam was made. However, the teaching and research group was still not satisfied, so they continued to criticize the mistakes and continued to make-up exams.

The reason for examining this question is actually very simple, because this question is... difficult.

It's not difficult to mess with you.

Although everyone knows that it is almost impossible to take this question in the imperial examination, after all, this question is too erratic. Whoever asks this question will lack great virtue.

But what the teaching and research group has its own set of difficulties. The teaching and research ancestors have their own set of theories. They believe that only by finding the most difficult questions in the world can other questions be easily dealt with.

You have solved the most difficult ones, what else is?

Deng Jian's face was dull...

I thought this could be touched?

But he is in a dilemma now.

In fact... after three mock exams, he has already had seven or eight solutions to this question, but the current problem is...
To be continued...
