After the concubine took the script of the son-in-law

Although Shen Ji is the prime minister's son, he has no privileges, so he still has to get up early and honestly queue up to enter the arena.

Shen Ji heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the officials at the door were checking the candidates' belongings, only checked the other party's family certificate, insurance certificate, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and did not search.

Soon it was Shen Ji's turn to talk to Dou and Baotou, and Baotou handed over the certificate of guarantee. After the official read it, he wrote down the names in the book of students who had already registered for the examination, and drew a circle again.

When Dou said the family status was handed over, the official did not raise his brows, but when he saw Shen Ji's family status, he changed his lazy posture just now, sat upright and looked at Shen Ji, confirming that her appearance was consistent with her family status. It was consistent with what was written on the certificate and the guarantee certificate, so he returned the things to her with a smile, and asked carefully: "Did the Yamen bring the public file?"

There was a posture of helping Shen Ji present the public paper to the invigilator.

Shen Ji said: "The government ordered the dismissal of the public documents, so naturally I didn't dare to stand up to the wind and commit crimes, so I didn't bring them with me."

The official could only slander that the prime minister's son had confidence, but it was a pity that the officials ordered the dismissal of the public documents, but the trend of making available documents was repeatedly banned. All the scholars who entered the venue just now had public documents.

It's just that Shen Ji himself didn't bring the public file, so what does it have to do with him?At that time, if you fail the exam, you can't blame him!

After thinking about it, the official didn't bother with the matter any more, and gave her the seat number plate, and asked her to go in and find the seat by herself.

As soon as the closing time of the tribute courtyard came, the examiners and examiners came out and led the candidates to bow to the portrait of Confucius according to the etiquette. After the ceremony, they took their seats and the examination officially started.

The questions for the solution test are given by the examiner. This year, an additional examiner was added, but the main examiner's questions are still the main ones.In other words, Jia Yan was the one who set the questions for this exam.

Many examinees had passed exams for Jia Yanxing, so they felt uneasy and at the same time had some anticipation, but Jia Yan did not respond to those expectant gazes, and only stayed on Shen Ji for a moment before announcing the topic.

The difference between the Fajie Examination and the Provincial Examination is that the Provincial Examination only takes three days, but the Fajie Examination will take four days, with one session per day. , the third day is essays (theory), and the last day is current affairs policy.

Generally, the first two rounds determine whether candidates will stay or stay, and the last two rounds determine their rankings. In order to "advance" to the provincial exam, candidates dare not take it lightly just because the content of the first day is simple.

The content of the post scriptures was very extensive at the beginning, but in the past two years, the scope has been reduced to the book "The Analects of Confucius". The examiner announced ten words selected from the "Analects of Confucius", erased a paragraph, and asked the candidates to copy the topic After coming down, answer completely on the paper.

Mo Yi drew questions from "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites", which are also ten questions.

Both "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites" are one of the scriptures that Shen Ji has memorized by heart, so these twenty questions are not difficult for her.

As for the meaning of the scriptures, it clarifies the content and rationale of a certain sentence, which is still ten questions.

Coincidentally, most of these ten questions are from "The Analects of Confucius", two questions are from "Yili", and one question is from "Book of Songs".

Shen Ji is familiar with "Lun Yi Shu", "Analects of Confucius Collection", "Yi Li Zhu Shu", and his master is Wang Zhaosu, who also has a lot of research on "The Book of Songs". The state of answering the questions at this time really corresponds to Du Fu's sentence "Reading breaks the book". Thousands of volumes, writing like a god."

After answering the question, Shen Ji checked it once, and copied it after there was no problem. When the application time came, she handed in the paper and left the Gongyuan.

Outside the tribute courtyard, there were many candidates' family members or servants sent by their families, but the Shen family's carriage was very conspicuous, Shen Ji saw it at a glance, and Li Yunyao standing beside the carriage.

"My lady, why did you come here?" Shen Ji threw the Four Treasures of the Study to the servants at the side, and pulled Li Yunyao into the carriage.

"After all, it's your first time out, so I have to take care of you." Li Yunyao looked at her, seeing that she wasn't too damaged by the test questions, he was relieved.

Shen Ji said: "This first scene is just an appetizer, the highlight is still in the next three scenes!"

"Tomorrow is poetry, right? Then go back now. After dinner, you have to rest early and recharge your energy."

Shen Ji didn't feel tired, but she didn't refuse her concern either.

After returning home, Shen Yilu asked her to write out the paper silently, and after confirming that she had not made the lowest mistakes, such as making taboos, he asked her to go back and rest.

The benefits of putting Tie Jing, Mo Yi, and Jing Yi in the first test were highlighted on the second day, because this is the simplest question that can be answered by rote memorization, and it is impossible to recite " The Analects of Confucius, why do you want to shame people?

Therefore, almost all candidates are very confident in the first test, which greatly improves their self-confidence, and they can be more relaxed when dealing with the next day's test.

However, the second exam can be said to be the most difficult of the four exams, and it is also the most valued poetry.Jia Yan first gave the title of the poem - "Clear Water and Ripples".

All the candidates first bowed their heads and pondered, trying to understand the meaning of the question by themselves, and Shen Ji was no exception, but she quickly found the source of it from the mountain of books in her mind:

This should come from a poem "Fat Tan" in "Wei Feng" in "The Book of Songs" (Mao Poems). According to the interpretation of "Mao Shi Zheng Zheng", this is a satire of corrupt officials who are greedy and exploited. The original sentence should be : The river is clear and rippling.

Therefore, this topic should be to warn courtiers not to eat vegetarian meals in the corpse, and advise them to make meritorious deeds in order to enjoy the salary and treatment they deserve.

Sure enough, some candidates couldn't help but "ask",-ask the examiner for questions.

Jia Yan recited the whole poem of "Fat Tan", and quoted Kong Yingda's meanings in "Mao Shi Zheng Zheng", so that the examinees can understand by themselves - different people will have different opinions on these meanings, which will It makes their poetry style biased, so that the style is obvious, and it is easier for people to know the examinee's mind.

After the title of the poem is the title of Fu - "Mo Ming Bi Xie".

Jiu Yao said, "Yun Di Juede, Mo Ming Bi Xie."

The meaning of the title is to advise the king to follow the virtues of the sages. Only when the king has the virtues will the virtuous talents join the king. With the help of the sages, the king's rule will be stable and the country will prosper.

Shen Ji always felt that Zhao Guangyi was expressing his dissatisfaction with Boss Zhao's recent support of Zhao Dezhao behind this question. After all, when the King of Qin opposed Boss Zhao's move to Luoyang, he once said, "Whether the country's fortune can last, Germany is not in danger." if.

Now that there is such a question about persuading the king to obey the virtues of the sages in the test, it is hard not to make people think too much.

Thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with this question on the surface. She can't just add drama to herself and hate Zhao Guangyi in the Fu because she has a lot of drama in her heart, right?Besides, according to the sage book, the king really needs good virtue!

But she couldn't do it if she kept trying to persuade the king what to do. It would be better to talk about something practical than rhetoric.

With an idea in mind, Shen Ji wrote poems first and then Fu.

Unlike the first scene, she finished writing it early. In this scene, she almost copied the paper and handed it in according to the timeline. When she went out, she had been tense for a whole day before she let go.

Compared with her, the rest of the scholars are not so relaxed. Some of them are still bowing their heads in thought, while others are showing annoyed expressions. Here, you can always see the various aspects of life.

Li Yunyao came to pick her up as before, and the two analyzed the problem in the carriage.

Li Yunyao said: "King Qin has deep intentions. The officials may be suspicious after hearing this, but they can't find the fault of King Qin."

Shen Ji didn't have a bad impression of Zhao Guangyi before, but with the move of the capital, his ambition was exposed, and he was cautious about such things, so Shen Ji didn't have a good impression of him.

In the next two days, Shen Ji also successfully completed the two essays in the third session and the current affairs policy in the fourth session.

After the exam, she did not relax, but went back to make up for the shortcomings she had exposed in these exams.

At the same time, the two examiners in Kaifeng Mansion did not mark the papers with a fair and just attitude. The reason was the change in the relationship between their respective masters.

After Boss Zhao started training Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Guangyi felt an unprecedented threat, and he had the idea of ​​joining forces with Zhao Guangmei.

After all, Zhao Guangmei was also considered to be a candidate for the throne after Zhao Guangyi. Their biological mother, Empress Dowager Du, once mentioned to Boss Zhao the "suspect of being the master of the country", and wanted Boss Zhao to pass on to his younger brother after a hundred years. In fact, it was not a single-finger pass After Zhao Guangyi's death, he will also pass to Zhao Guangmei, and after Zhao Guangmei's death, he will pass the throne to Zhao Dezhao, so that the throne will eventually return to the lineage of Boss Zhao.

Therefore, when Zhao Guangyi was cultivated, besides being young and not so ambitious, Zhao Guangmei also took it for granted that Zhao Guangyi would pass on the throne to himself.

But Boss Zhao left his two younger brothers aside, it should be said that he left him alone, gave Zhao Dezhao military merits, and then made him king of Qi, how could this make him not think too much?

Zhao Guangyi wanted to join forces with him to push Zhao Dezhao out, but once he joined forces, it would be tantamount to promising him that he would hand over the throne to him in a hundred years.

In this kind of cautious contact, the two examiners will be very cautious in the selection of some candidates' papers.

For example, Shen Ji's paper.

Shen Yilu is Boss Zhao's confidant, Zhao Guangyi couldn't guarantee that he would support him, so naturally he didn't want to add another help to him.However, because he is the prime minister, once he disregards the quality of Shen Ji's papers and deposes him, one day Boss Zhao wants to read Shen Ji's papers on a whim, but finds that Shen Ji has been deposed, and the examiner will have good fruit to eat ?

So after the other papers were corrected, Shen Ji's paper still didn't have a good decision.

In the end, the two examiners discussed it and decided to put aside their selfishness and decide "pass" or "fail" according to the merits of the article.

What made them feel complicated was that Shen Ji was not an idiot, let alone a dandy who had no talent but wanted to come to the examination room to try his luck. She had real talents and real learning.Not to mention the simple content of Tie Jing, Mo Yi, and Jing Yi, just this endowment and policy is enough to prove that she is proficient in allusions and has profound talents.

Many candidates' fu and strategies are a little boring. Although the words are gorgeous, but after careful consideration, it can be found that they are all moaning and boasting, and they don't give any useful suggestions.

Shen Ji's examination papers are based on allusions, and all kinds of allusions are readily available, as if there is no ancient person she does not know.But it would not be right to say that her papers are obscure and difficult to understand because of this. Although she quotes classics, the articles are easy to understand and penetrating.
