The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

The sky was covered with fine snow, and the earth was shrouded in ice.

But this did not stop the enthusiasm of the candidates.

Although the township test of Shuntian House is not important, because there are many giants in Beijing, and there are many nationalities in Beijing, the governments are also concerned about it.

Liu Jie is the son of Shoufu, and many of his classmates recognized him.

As soon as he appeared outside the examination room, he immediately caused many people to greet each other enthusiastically.

Some of these people are old and young, and everyone bowed to him, but Liu Jie felt a little unnatural in his heart, and he still had to return it.

As early as a dozen years ago, he came to the exam, he must be friends, but now faced with such a situation, but looked at a loss.

The older he was, as his father's official position became more and more prominent, he began to find that he was different from others. If someone else was a talent, it was already luck.

And myself, a talented man who has made a name for himself, has repeatedly failed, but it is a shame and shame.

Not only Liu Jie, but also many talents who studied in Xishan also arrived.

There are a total of thirteen people. Everyone sees them every day, or because they are sympathetic to each other.

The people entered the tribute court in an orderly manner. The present year's presidency tribute test was performed by Zhang Sheng, the clerk of the court.

Zhang Sheng ’s experience was a legend, and he was the No. 1 champion of Chenghua for five years. Later, in Chenghua, he was impeached and impeached the ten major crimes of the cabinet university scholar Liu Ji, but was framed. Yuan Wailang, then dismissed. So, like many ministers who were unsatisfactory during the Chenghua years, when the emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, Zhang Sheng immediately flew to the sky, and the left and right courtiers of the Librarian Department moved to the Shangshu Department.

His Majesty suddenly ordered the Lishang Shangshu Zhang Sheng, because the Shuntian House and the ordinary township test are different.

For the provincial examinations in all provinces, only one official is required to preside over the examination. The situation in Suncheon Mansion is the most complicated. After all, there are so many dignitaries here. If an ordinary academic officer presides over the rural exam, even if the person is just upset and can withstand the pressure, the results of the exam will often question the candidates.

Therefore, the examiners of Suncheon House are always hand-picked. The last time, the examiner was the official Shang Ao Wang Ao. This position is highly weighted. Naturally, candidates do not have to worry about anyone dare to put pressure on the prince. On the other hand, Wang Ao has always been upright, and everyone knows it, and no one is worried that he will be involved in fraud.

Zhang Sheng is the same. What's more, he is also famous for his unyielding behavior. When he was young, he made a fight against the old Patriarch at that time, so he did not change his original intention and was also the champion. With such qualifications, who dares to question the fairness of Zhang Shangshu?

Liu Jie had no impression of Zhang Sheng, so when he paid tribute to the grandmaster, he took the examination number and left.

When he arrived at the examination tent, he took a deep breath, and many times he was disappointed, which made him discouraged. He came to the examination, but there was still a trace of unwillingness deep in his heart.

Want to come ... This time, it is also difficult.

But ... in Xishan, several gentlemen asked him to continue writing eight-legged essays, saying that his eight-legged has made some progress, but I wonder if it is useful?

He tried hard to remember that in just half a year, he did not have one hundred articles, but eighty articles, and even saw any of the four books and five scriptures, all of which were conditioned to try to solve the problem.

Maybe ... this time ... there will be a chance.

He thought so.

Then there was a gunshot.

The examiner put the questions, and the officers held a sign and walked in the various examination sheds.

When the servant held a sign in front of Liu Jie, Liu Jie saw the sign that said: "Ningwu Zibang".

Liu Jie froze for a moment, but this question actually made an impression.

This is not to say that this question is very impressive, but that he has made many questions, and there is really such a question.

The questions from several gentlemen are not one hundred but also eighty. If you make more of this question, you will inevitably feel some numbness. The reason why this question is impressed is that this question is very pitted.

How bad is it?

If you follow the four words Ning Wuzibang to understand, you find that you can't understand them at all. These four words come from The Analects. "Governance Chief", the original text is: Zi said: ‘Ning Wuzi, the state knows the way, but the state has no way, then it is stupid. ’

Black ... really black ...

At the beginning, the gentlemen arranged this question, which was the first impression of everyone.

Ning Wuzi is a person's name, and the "Bang" is from the "Bang Youdao knows." It is like, his own teacher Wang Shouren, he wanted to say to Wang Shouren, did you eat Wang Shouren? Then someone came up with a question called "Wang Shouren You".

Come here, write an article for me, this article must conform to the norm, and it must also conform to the truth of the saint. By the way, every format, whether it is a problem or a problem, you must also meet the norm, a word No more, no less than one word!

Of course, these are actually just appetizers, and you have to agree with Cheng Zhu's understanding. For example, in this sentence, Zhu Xi said in "The Analects of Confucius": "Know, go. Ning Wuzi, doctor Wei, named Yu. According to "Spring and Autumn Biography", Wu Zi Shi Wei, when Wen Gong, Cheng Gong, Wen Gong has a way, and Wu Zi has nothing to see, so he knows it ... "

Did you see it? You have to conform to Zhu Xi's understanding of this passage. If you don't understand Zhu Xi's meaning, then I'm sorry to eliminate it.

Moreover, you still have only one day, to be precise, it is about five hours, you can't write it, and you get out of it.

Since the beginning of the imperial examinations, almost every candidate has been searching for problems, but it can be one foot tall and one devil high, and every examiner has been racking his brains to make quirky questions.

Today, this Zhang Sheng and Zhang Shangshu can be regarded as playing tricks and playing a level. He actually used the name in the Analects and added a Bang character to make it difficult for the candidates of Shuntianfu.

As soon as this question was released, there was a faint sigh in the examination shed everywhere! Zhang Sheng, your uncle, you have the ability, take your Zhang Sheng's name to make an article about Qi Jia's rule of state, and look at it.

Li Sheng Shang Shu, Zhang Sheng, was sitting in Minglun Hall, stroking his beard with a smile, thinking of the sorrows of the students, but he was very proud.

They were all people who studied hard in the cold window. Zhang Sheng, who was born as the top champion, was also a struggle among the scholars when he was young. Now, he has already turned over, and his wife has become a wife for many years.

This question was pondered by him after many geniuses.

As soon as this question came out, he immediately showed the level of his top champion. If you want to come to Shuntianfu this year, there will be a lot.

Sitting in the examination shed, Liu Jie was at first stunned, but he did not have much joy.

He only remembered that he had written this article himself, but because there are too many questions in these days, he has forgotten how he answered the questions, but obviously, because of the impression of this question, he remembered that he was Know a lot.

Therefore, after only a little pondering, he began to raise the pen to solve the problem: "The doctor is not only called stupid, but the stupidity is all good."

The problem was solved easily, although Liu Jie had followed Wang Shouren's study, and he was deeply disgusted with these eight stocks. He knew that this problem was plausible and empty, but he also knew that only such a problem, and then around one For some inexplicable subject, he wrote a seemingly rational article, and he had a chance to go to high school, so he couldn't help but smiled, put away his mind, and then continued to write.

After more than an hour, Liu Jie had finished writing an article.

He had just put down his pen and twisted his sore wrist. He wanted to check it again, preparing to transcribe the article written on this draft.

But at this time, there was a sudden outcry in the exam shed not far away, as if someone had smashed the pen and ink on the ground, and before he could react, he heard people wailing: "Zhang Sheng, Er is also a scholar Suffering from the cold window and being challenged by the examiner, today I am the examiner, and the question of this beast is not as good as it is. It ’s really a pig and a dog. I ... not tested, not tested ... "

A heartbreaking scolding.

Obviously ... another crazy.

Liu Jie's forehead suddenly exuded cold sweat on his forehead, and he wanted to say that if he hadn't studied in Xishan, he was afraid that he would be crazy if he saw this question!

Several servants ran up like a wolf, and dragged the candidate's uniform mercilessly and dragged out quickly.

It's just that the candidate was still howling in his mouth: "Zhang Sheng, raised by your maidservant, non-human, non-human!"

In the examination room, the bleak atmosphere spread, and some officers hurriedly shouted: "Quiet, quiet!"

And in Minglun Hall.

Zhang Sheng was looking at the book with pride, and several examiners sat beside him.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Sheng frowned slightly, put down the book, listened hard, and when he heard these, his old face suddenly pulled down.

"It's really bold, Zhang Gong, UU reading www.uukanashu.com is such a freshman ..." Some examiners looked weird and subconsciously scolded.

Zhang Sheng did not show any anger, but just said lightly: "I thought that the old man had had a vilification of the examiner, but now he has been an examiner, knowing the difficulty of the examiner and the suffering of the examiner. He was scolded for the sake of the imperial court, and it was nothing. "

The implication is that there is a little excitement. Although I was scolded, didn't I show my level?

At this time, the examiner said again: "Zhang Gong, will you remove the name of the raw leather ..."

Zhang boosted his hands and said: "No need, things are not so serious. Just rush out and cancel his hometown test this year. Young people, they are not sensible, it is also common."

Therefore, all the examiners took this opportunity to praise: "Zhang Gong is magnanimous and comparable to extraordinary people."

The old **** Zhang Sheng is saying: "It's not easy to want to pick out a few talents in Suncheon House this year."

This is the truth, and the subject is difficult to reach this point. Someone can make an article smoothly and it is already magical. Others are hard to expect.
