The happy life of a prodigal

The articles written by a scholar who is randomly pulled from a private school are much better than this.

Therefore, he was in trouble.

Yes, or not.

this is a problem.

After struggling for a while, he glanced at the two five-character poems again, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind.

Over!

He didn't want to watch these two peerless five-character poems being destroyed in his own hands.

As for whether to take it or not, let the assistant examiner and the main examiner have a headache.

In less than half an hour, the same situation appeared on the desks of several deputy chief examiners.

"Master Liu, what do you think of this candidate's paper?"

After a while, one of the assistant examiners who reviewed the paper frowned, picked up the paper, walked to the other assistant examiner, and asked.

The other deputy examiner had a surprised expression on his face when he heard this.

Mr. Zhang has participated in the examination papers of the township examination three times. According to common sense, he should be more experienced than himself. Why did he ask himself instead?

He hurriedly stood up, took the paper from Mr. Zhang, first complimented him, and then read it carefully.

Since Mr. Zhang couldn't make a decision, he naturally had to be more careful.

"It can be seen that the work of Jingyi has put in effort, but it can only be said to be quite satisfactory."

This Mr. Liu read the first part of the paper and said.

Next to him, Master Zhang nodded and said, "That's true, Master Liu, keep looking down."

Hearing this, Mr. Liu raised his eyes, glanced at Mr. Zhang, and thought, could it be that the last two parts of this test paper were well answered?

Therefore, Master Zhang wanted to take a look for himself?

The deputy chief examiner surnamed Liu thought so and turned to the next page.

Seeing the two poems neatly written on it, I was taken aback, and then sighed: "Good poems, good poems!"

The theme of the first poem is farewell...

It's called Fude Guyuan Grass farewell.

Lili on the grass, one year and one withered.

Wild fire, in spring.

Yuanfang invades the ancient road, and Qingcui connects to the deserted city.

Send Wang and Sun again, full of affection.

The first four sentences of this poem focus on expressing the diachronic beauty of weed life, and the last four sentences focus on expressing its synchronic beauty.

The whole poem is rigorous in composition, natural and fluent in diction, neat in antithesis, lyrical in scene description, and harmonious in artistic conception. It is simply the first poem since the creation of Fu Dedi!

It can be said that there is no one who can make such a perfect poem that fits the theme, and there may not necessarily be someone who will come later.

Just relying on such a poem, there are enough reasons for him to be on the list.

The examiner surnamed Zhang just finished reading the two poems and couldn't wait to tear off the seal of the examination paper to see who the author was.

The great talent who can make such a swan song is actually from the land of Gyeonggi.

It seems that this time, the style of writing in Gyeonggi is finally better than that in Jiangnan!

At this time, a sentence from the examiner surnamed Liu made me even more excited: "Master Zhang, please don't get excited, there will be policy discussions later."

Hearing this, the examiner surnamed Zhang looked at the examiner surnamed Liu with an excited expression, and asked, "Could it be that this strategy theory is also a unique one?"

The examiner surnamed Liu did not reply, but his expression was a little strange.

It's just that the examiner surnamed Zhang was in the excitement and didn't notice his expression. He turned to the next page and continued to read.

Time passed minute by minute.

The expression of the examiner surnamed Zhang also gradually changed.

From the original expectation, to the weirdness later, then to the strangeness, then to the disappointment, and then to the surprise later.

It can be described as ups and downs several times.

After a while, he put down the test paper and didn't speak for a while, as if he was lost in thought.

At this time, the examiner surnamed Liu spoke up: "This examinee's strategy theory can be said to be confused, even the sentences are fluent and the confrontation is neat, such a small requirement can't be met, let alone the profound artistic conception, what the words are. There is something!

A policy article written by a teacher from a private school will be several times better than him.

However, his two five-character and eight-rhyme poems are unique.

Of course, if his scriptures are outstanding enough, I might just let him go and let him pass, but the Four Books and Five Classics and the scriptures are just so mediocre.

It can be seen that although this candidate is talented, he has not worked hard enough, has not read the books of sages, and has only a half-knowledge of the words and ways of sages.

Therefore, I can't make a decision. I want Mr. Zhang to give me a reference. Is this test paper passed or not? "

Hearing this, the examiner surnamed Zhang raised his eyes, glanced at the examiner surnamed Liu, and asked suddenly: "Master Liu thinks this strategy is meaningless?"

The examiner surnamed Liu nodded, and then, as if he had thought of something, his face was slightly angry, and he said, "Especially this first policy theory, how to solve the hunger of the people in the Central Plains...

This guy babbled a lot, such as reasonable close planting, intensive cultivation, but he didn't answer the question. Isn't this saying nothing?

The most disgusting thing is that this son actually said that the victims who died of starvation should be burned to avoid spreading the plague among the people.

Those victims starved to death, and their corpses were miserable enough in the wilderness, but he still had to burn their corpses, and in the end he couldn't even get the little request of being buried in the ground for safety. .....

If we have recorded such people who have no benevolence and righteousness in their hearts, then wouldn't it be a breach of duty to His Majesty and the people. "

When the examiner surnamed Zhang heard this, he frowned tightly.

After a while, he finally couldn't help but said: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Liu is a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, right?"

The examiner surnamed Liu nodded, and said: "I am indeed from the Ministry of Rites, and I am a member of the Foreign Ministry."

The examiner surnamed Zhang looked at the examiner surnamed Liu, and said: "Lord Liu speaks out of courtesy, righteousness and shame, and he is a common people all over the world. Have you ever thought about what these common people want?"

When the examiner surnamed Liu heard this, he frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "What does Mr. Zhang's question have to do with our affairs today?"

Chapter 372 Controversy

When the examiner surnamed Zhang heard this, his face showed a serious look, and he said solemnly: "Of course it has something to do with it.

Why are the imperial examinations held? Isn't it for the imperial court to select useful talents?Why does the imperial court select useful talents? Isn't it for the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people?

The so-called civil security, is it not knowing what the people need?

We are the examiners of the imperial examination, if we don't even know what the people need, what is the use?

We are the pillars of the imperial court, if we don't even understand what makes a country rich and its people safe, then what face do we have to meet His Majesty and the people of this world? "

When the examiner surnamed Liu heard this, he was slightly taken aback, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

As a member of the Ministry of Rituals, he thought that his verbal skills had reached a certain level, but after seeing this Mr. Zhang, he just realized what it means that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.

He thought for a while, and was just about to refute, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Master Zhang in front of him continue: "As for this theory, my opinion is exactly the opposite of Master Zhang.

My official is Wailang, a member of the household department, and he knows more about money and food than Mr. Zhang.

The examinee's writing style is very immature and difficult to be elegant, but the content is beneficial to the country and the people, both of which are of great benefit!

At the beginning, I was very disappointed with this policy theory, thinking that a person who can write such poems, although not perfect, should not be so embarrassing.

However, after careful reading, this official understands what it means to be clever and useless, and what it means to be wise and foolish.

This examinee's words are very simple, and the sentences are only fluent, and there is not even a neat contrast, but every sentence he utters is aimed at the key point, and the point is reached.

Why is there a great hunger in the Central Plains today that has not been seen in decades, does Mr. Liu know? "

When the examiner surnamed Liu heard these words, he frowned, thought for a while, and replied: "Naturally, it's a natural disaster..."

The examiner surnamed Zhang nodded and said: "It is indeed because of natural disasters, but more of them are man-made disasters!"

When the examiner surnamed Liu heard this, he frowned even tighter. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, he was just a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, who was in charge of the education of the capital, and knew nothing about money and food.

Before being able to answer natural disasters, it was only hearsay.

There was a severe drought in the Central Plains for two consecutive years, and all the crops withered in the fields. The people had no crops and could only eat the grain they had stored before.

However, how much stock the common people can have can last for a short period of time.

Over time, you can only starve.

According to common sense, the four northern states also produce grain. Although there is not much, there is a surplus.

The two southern provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are also lands of fish and rice. The annual grain production is enough to support the Gyeonggi for two years. It should not be a big problem to support the Central Plains.

But the end result is...

The examiner surnamed Liu thought of this, fell silent, and looked at the examiner surnamed Zhang, as if he wanted to get his answer.

However, the examiner surnamed Zhang just sighed and did not continue to delve into this issue. Instead, he said: "This son's policy theory directly points to the shortcomings of the imperial court, and he has given many methods that can increase food production. Verification, but compared with the flashy articles of other candidates, it is much better.

Therefore, Mr. Liu said that there is nothing to say, and I am sorry that I really can't understand it. If such an article is just to say nothing, then, among the many examination papers here, how many of them have something to say? "

The examiner surnamed Liu heard this, thought about it, and was still a little unconvinced.

He raised his eyes, looked at the examiner surnamed Zhang, and said: "The method of the imperial examination is the system of the ancestors. Whether this policy is done well or not is not something you can conclude with a few words.

Even though its content makes some sense, if such poor writing is taken, wouldn't it be unfair to other candidates? "

When the examiner surnamed Zhang heard this, his face showed anger, looked at the examiner surnamed Liu, and asked, "May I ask Mr. Liu, why is it unfair!?

In my opinion, it would be unfair to the people of the world if we did not take this policy theory with substance, but took those empty and flashy policy theories!

Could it be that Mr. Liu can only make such flashy theories, so he can talk about it? "

When the examiner surnamed Liu heard this, his face also showed anger. He stretched out a hand, pointed at the examiner surnamed Zhang, and said angrily: "You, you..."

Before he could open his mouth, he heard the examiner surnamed Zhang say coldly: "This policy is indeed not something that you and I can conclude, nor Mr. Zhao. In my opinion, it should be reported to His Majesty, and please be judged!"

A small township examination policy theory, unexpectedly asked for a holy judge...

The examiner surnamed Liu was stunned when he heard this, and felt that the examiner surnamed Zhang in front of him was simply unreasonable.

"As a subject, I have to bother Your Majesty with such trivial matters..."

The examiner surnamed Liu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the examiner surnamed Zhang just as he opened his mouth: "We are ministers of His Majesty and parents of the people, so we should be responsible for His Majesty and the people.

This matter involves tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, and it is far beyond our ability. Only Your Majesty can make a decision.

Your Majesty is a sage king who loves the people like a son, and is also concerned about the disaster in the Central Plains, but you say this matter is just a trivial matter? "

Such a hat should come off, the examiner surnamed Liu suddenly felt dizzy, and hurriedly said: "I don't mean that."

"It doesn't mean that, what does that mean?"

"My lord...my lord..."

The examiner surnamed Liu showed a thoughtful look, gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Okay, since you are determined to go your own way, I can't stop you. Since you want to invite the Holy Tribunal, then let His Majesty decide whether to take this policy or not." Do not take..."

The sound of the quarrel between the two assistant examiners had already spread throughout the attic, and many examiners only dared to listen, but did not dare to speak.

The only examiner, however, just happened to go there conveniently. When he came back, he saw two assistant examiners standing together, their eyes facing each other, as if confronting each other.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"My lords, what's the matter?"

The examiner walked up to them and asked.

The two assistant examiners heard the chief examiner's voice, turned around at the same time, and said in unison: "My lord, you came just in time."

"..."

The examiner was startled, and thought, how could these two be in such sync.

At this time, the examiner surnamed Zhang handed the examination paper in his hand to the chief examiner, and said: "My lord, I have discussed this policy with Mr. Liu for a long time, but there is still no way to reach a consensus.

Also ask adults to look over. "

When the examiner heard this, he felt even more strange.
