Dress to be a celebrity

Since ancient times, there have been very few people who have won the three yuan.

What will be tested is the classics and righteousness, and the palace test will only test the current policies.If you want to do a good job in the scriptures, you have to study hard under the window. How much time and thought do you have to understand the general situation of the world and the suffering of the people?And how to write a current affairs policy with substance?

Therefore, in the hundred and 40 years since the founding of the Great Zheng Dynasty, there has only been one prodigy who has attained the Three Yuans, and the portrait is still hung in the side hall of the Confucian Temple to accompany the sacrifices, which shows how difficult it is to achieve the Three Yuans.

Once he wins three yuan in a row, this person is not only a talented person, but also auspicious for the court, and the emperor will love him more as a symbol of the prosperity of the dynasty.

He knew that his grandfather was a little narrow-minded, and he had treated the Song family badly earlier, and he was afraid that he would suppress Song Shi because of a guilty conscience.But if Shi Guan'er won three yuan in a row, even if he got into the top two in the exam and his name caught the eyes of the Holy One, the road ahead would naturally be much easier.

After all, his grandfather was at that age, and now the cabinet scholars are basically going to be old in their [-]s. He is not the chief assistant, so he may not be able to delay for a few years, and the time to be in power in the court is not long.

He was looking forward to his grandfather's early retirement. Whether his family members or outsiders knew about this thought, they would call him unfilial.Huan Ling gave a wry smile, and without thinking about it, he picked up Song Shi's leg and put it on his lap to put on the boots for him, half dragging and half hugging him, leading him to the table and sitting down.

Song Shi was still a little confused, leaning against the table without a shape, not knowing what he was going to do.

Huan Ling went out and asked one of his servants, Mo Xiang, to bring hot water and a towel, and then asked the servant to get some breakfast, and then he threw a towel to cover his junior brother's face.

The warm handkerchief was quite comfortable to cover, Song Shi couldn't help but close his eyes again and wanted to squint for a while.But in this place in Beijing, the weather in early March is still a bit chilly. After a while, the towels gradually cooled down. The wind that penetrated into the room passed through the wet cloth, and the towels were as if they were handed out in cold water. .

He finally couldn't help it, he raised his hand to grab the rag aggrieved, but asked his senior brother to grab it with both hands, and wiped his face and hands with the cool towel, forcibly wiping away the last bit of his drowsiness.

Pity him for being a newly minted Huiyuan. It's fine if he can't climb mountains, eat wine, and hold poetry meetings like other new Jinshi, and he's not even allowed to sleep late!Song Shi snatched the cool cloth bitterly and threw it into the water basin, and the water splashed half a foot high with a "wow".

The boy came in to deliver the breakfast, and saw that the water basin was wet and sprinkled all over the floor, he let out a "hey", put down the food quickly, and went out to get a cloth to clean up the water basin.

Song Shi was a little embarrassed, he got up and was still angry, so he didn't speak, lowered his head and filled a bowl of porridge by himself, scooped a spoonful of sesame salt on the porridge surface, scooped it up and drank it.Huan Ling picked up a small steamed bun for him, but he pretended not to see it, picked up the chopsticks with his left hand, and ate another steamed stuffed bun.

The brothers and sisters were bored in the house eating, and Mo Xiang hurriedly went out with the water basin to pour it out. When she finished pouring the water and was going to wipe the floor with an old rag, she bumped into Song Xiao who had just got up in the yard.

Brother Song was used to being the head of the family, and when he saw that the servant was unsteady, he frowned and called him: "Why are you in such a panic, the family is fine, slow down!"

Mo Xiang replied: "Just now I brought Uncle San's face wash, went to get some breakfast, and took it back to Uncle's room, but saw a big puddle of water sprinkled on the ground under the water basin. I got a cloth to wipe it off."

them?Brother Huan is here again?He didn't stay in the main hall early in the morning, and Shi Guan'er hadn't washed his face yet, so he went to the west wing to see him?

Song Xiao always felt a little awkward in his heart, and waved his hands: "Go to yours, I'll go and see them too."

He followed Mo Xiang into the door, and the boy went to clean up the water on the ground, so he went to clean up...not clean up, but politely asked Mr. Huan why he didn't stay in the main room that he cleaned up, and arrived early in the morning In his brother's room.

Are the two still sitting opposite each other for dinner?

Huan Ling put down his chopsticks, and asked naturally as if he were the master: "Why did Da Shixiong come to junior brother's place? Have you ever eaten? I just sat down with junior brother, and I have never touched these things. Shixiong also tastes it together?"

Naturally, Song Xiao couldn't straighten his eyebrows and say blankly that he thought he shouldn't be in his younger brother's room, so he came to see him, and just said: "No need, I will go out with Tongnian later. Brother Huanxian is taking a rest today Why? Why did you come here so early in the morning? Shi Guaner's house is not facing well, why did Brother Huan Xian come into his room, and he should be told to tidy up and come to the upper room to see you."

Not only did he not tidy up, but he was woken up by wiping him before his eyelids were raised!

Song Shi really wanted to sue his eldest brother, but Huan Ling was not afraid of him suing, and said openly: "I sorted out some palace examination questions and asked Shi Guaner to do it, but I saw that he hadn't woken up yet, so I don't want to come over and supervise him personally." ?Brother Dashi also knows that Shiguan'er won the first prize in the exam, so naturally all the eyes of the capital are on him. Shi Guan'er is the top two in this subject, so it's natural to urge him to make a fuss."

yes!He and his second brother privately hoped that Shi Guan'er would be the best in this subject, and that he would pass the exam higher than his senior brother.

Song Xiao also didn't care if what he said just now that he dug Song Shi out of the bed was reasonable or not, he just clapped his hands and agreed: "Brother Huan Xian knows a lot, we brothers didn't think of this. My brother has already bothered Xian Brother, for a long time, in the last few days, I will not be polite to you anymore, and Shi Guaner will leave it to you!"

Song Shi was still holding a complaint with his elder brother, hoping to spend a day shopping and playing, but in the end of these few words, his brother stood up to Senior Brother Huan?

How can this be?

However, what is even more unacceptable is that his elder brother held his hand in turn and said, "Your brother Huan is doing it for your own good. Shi Guaner listens to your senior brother. Your exam is important. The eldest brother and the second brother are staying at home these few days." It's easy to distract you, I'm going to invite my friends who are not in the first class to go to Tanzhe Temple in the west of the city to relax, so you can stay at home and make a fuss with your senior brother Huan."

Why is life so bleak when my elder brother goes out for an outing, throws his younger brother to the devil teacher who rushes to the second class before the exam, and doesn't let him sleep too late?

The cold wind in late spring pierced Song Shi's heart, and the backs of the two brothers leaving gracefully made him even more envious.And after being sober in the spring breeze, he still had to face his little brother who had watched him lose face when he was unconscious from beginning to end...

Don't talk nonsense, let's do the questions, his true love is to do the questions!

Brother Huan thoughtfully did not laugh at him, and gave him a detailed analysis of the important events in this year's court with his own current affairs policy.

In fact, the palace examination has the same rules as the previous general examination: although the specific content of the five policy questions in the general examination is different, they are basically one policy for the emperor, one policy for officials, one policy for classics and history, one policy for current affairs, and one policy for military food.The policy questions in the palace examination are basically a mixture of current affairs and military food. When the world is stable, you will ask more about rituals, music, enlightenment, and government officials; It is necessary to send troops to eat.

All in all, it is the way to govern the country and the world.

A student can concentrate on studying in the village and does not ask about affairs outside the window. A courtier is to assist the monarch and guide the world. If you don't know how to govern, how can you enter the court?

If you don't have the ability to do practical work, even if you make a policy question into the literary talent of "Qiu Xing Fu", the ranking in the palace examination will also fall to the top three-the top three are given to the same Jinshi background, and the top two in Jinshi and Jinshi. A naturally bowed his head in front of A.

Not only is the status low, but the position after becoming an official is also low.The first two-thirds are okay, if you send a county magistrate outside, at least you can get benefits; if you pass the exam in the last third, you have to be a mediocre official in the Qingshui Yamen, and you don't know how long you will be able to get ahead.

He directly used himself as an example and said: "I was only a general judge in the foreign office, but my uncle was the chief envoy and councilor. Just because of his status, he was much higher than me. But after I returned to Beijing, I was able to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But he can only take up an idle job in Honglu Temple. Is it really because of the distance between him and the princess? Of course not! If I hadn’t been ranked tenth in the second class and hadn’t been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I could only have an idle job when I return to Beijing , can’t go back to the courtyard!”

Among other things, if he is not in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now, but only takes a part-time job in the Qingshui Yamen, he can't know the major events in the court so clearly and in detail, how dare he bet on the imperial examination questions?

He raised the mimeographed paper he had printed on his hand, and said: "This year there have been frequent disasters in Shandong, Hebei, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. There is a rebellion, and Wacha is on the rise again in the north, harassing the border town several times a year..."

There are famines inside and border conflicts outside, so we have to charge a topic of "focusing on agriculture, managing soldiers and repairing"; but the border problems are still only scabies, and the imperial court's confidantes are still suffering from famines and refugees, so they can be charged again. A line of "combining rigidity and softness, calming and enlightening the people"; disaster relief and resettlement of refugees requires money, and countless gold and silver have been spent on Zhou Wang's marriage in recent years, so it is also necessary to bet on a line of "monarch and ministers are of one mind, the way of managing money"...

There was only one strategy question in the palace exam, and Huan Ling only bet on one question every other day, and asked him to do it according to the time of the palace exam.Today he got up late, and he talked about current affairs, and there was no time, so he started from March [-]nd to March [-]th.One day to do the questions, one day to mark and analyze the papers, and he was given two days off before the exam.

Song Shi was busy with the exams before, and hadn't answered the questions according to the format of the palace exam. On this day, he first looked at the top three papers from previous convictions copied by Huan Ling and his own answer papers, trying to figure out the format and style.

The five policy questions in the general examination add up to two to three thousand words, and the one policy question in the palace examination costs two to three thousand words. It is equivalent to the difference between an essay question and a thesis.

however……

I'm sorry, he is the man who compiled a [-]-word essay, and it's raining for two to three thousand palace exams.

He flipped through the "Ancient Emperors' Great Classics and Dafa, all in "Book of Zhou·Hong Fan"... The three virtues are for balance. He also said that Huangji uses the body to be constant and establishes the original, and the three virtues are to change and adapt to the times... ", without having to look down on the manuscript paper, he accurately wrote the standard beginning of the capitalization-"Minister to Chenwen".

The palace examination questions are personally planned by the emperor Linxuan, and the policies are formulated, so when answering the questions, candidates must answer as a courtier, instead of giving a bare beginning like in the general examination.

As long as the word "Chen" appears in the policy question, it must be shortened, and it can only occupy half a cell, and it should be written on the right side of the cell.Fortunately, there is no need for other characters to change in shape, just like other exams, when encountering emperors, your majesty, saints, first emperor temple titles, imperial edicts, holy edicts and other styles issued by the emperor, words praising the emperor and the court , Ting, etc. are empty, as long as the format does not violate taboos.

He has passed the Boys' Examination since he was fourteen, and it can be said that he has experienced many battles for so many years. He closed his eyes and let go of writing. When it was time to pass, he passed it as naturally as turning an abacus.

The essence of this question lies in the three virtues, which are the three emperors' virtues of "benevolence", "ming" and "wu".Firstly, the emperor and the "virtue" are bound together, and the general discussion is on why the emperor should practice the emperor's virtue, and which three virtues are divided into the emperor's virtue, and then discuss the essence of the "three virtues" in three sections, and give examples to support their benefits...

The eight-part essay has a prescribed format, but Cewen does not.He has not been writing stereotyped essays for as long as he started memorizing papers. The clear and orderly format of modern papers is imprinted in his bones, and he writes such reasonable, well-founded and powerful articles.

Six imitations fall on others, enough to exhaust a person to death, but he can write two to three thousand words a day, but he can ignore it. The brothers talked and laughed happily.

His senior brother looked at his policy questions and became more and more confident. Although he didn't say it in front of him, he wanted to say something behind his back: "Senior Brother Song's essay is above mine, and my brothers are not as good together. He's good at learning."

Not only can he write, but he has actually seen the suffering of the people, knows how to govern a place, and even understands the art of war. There is a style.

If he was really put on the battlefield, wouldn't it be the current Chen Qingzhi?

Huan Ling wished he could immediately start writing to praise his junior brother, but he was afraid that his good fortune would be suppressed by talking too much before the exam, so he just wrote it out and read it for himself, then put it in the book and put it away.

During their day after day of practicing writing, speaking and reading, the day of the imperial examination finally arrived.In the early morning of March [-]th, Song Shi put on a brand-new Mao Qing cloth Confucian shirt, rode the BMW that his elder brother had rented for transportation after he entered Beijing, carried an ear basket, and brought a book boy, and entered the inner mansion in high spirits.
