Feng Ziying was also a little surprised when she saw this question.

Unexpectedly, it is not that I have won half of the bet, well, border military affairs, but that this question is too difficult, not only involving the dialectical relationship between the financial expenditure of the imperial court and the border military affairs, but also more critically directly pointed out how to break this deadlock.

No wonder it is placed in the last question as the main body, which is actually three questions in disguise, or three parts.

The first question is the financial situation of the Great Zhou court; the second question, the state of military affairs in the periphery; The third question is what can be done to break this deadlock between military spending and financial endowment?

In Feng Ziying's view, the level of requirements for this question far exceeds that of students who have never been in contact with the political and military affairs of the court, even if the current academies and schools pay more and more attention to the current policy theory, and the relevant professors and teachings often guide the study from various imperial court newspapers, but the difficulty of this question is still too high.

In particular, it involves talking about countermeasures, which is even more of a challenge for ordinary scholars.

Perhaps this question should be used to test the officials of the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee.

Feng Ziying was a little surprised that these cabinet elders and important ministers of the six ministries could come up with such a question, which subverted his perception a little, at least he dared to ask this question, this courage is commendable.

However, this is beneficial to Feng Ziying.

As Qiao Yingjia said, Feng Ziying's foundation in scripture and righteousness and the level of word choice and sentence formation are a little reluctant compared to the more than 4,000 elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that it can only be regarded as a medium level, so how can he stand out among eight out of these 100 people?

Then there must be enough room to play in the strategic topic, and it can be said that the higher the difficulty, the better.

If everyone can answer, and even play a role, they can't open the gap, and the content is almost the same, then they can only compare on the basis of word choice and sentence formation, then Feng Ziying is basically eliminated.

Therefore, the time and place are favorable, and now that the time is available, this question is difficult enough.

And Feng Ziying's familiarity with this question is naturally not a problem, Feng Ziying has this certainty, and she can answer this question sharply and thought-provoking enough, then there is no problem with people and this, and the rest is the location, that is, it depends on the point of view of the main exam and the same exam.

Feng Ziying had no way to influence this, so she could only resign herself to fate.

But after doing what she should do, Feng Ziying has no regrets.

When Feng Ziying appeared, she had already seen Fan Jingwen, Zheng Chongjian, Wu Fu and Lian Guoshi discussing something excitedly.

As soon as Feng Ziying came out, several people eagerly greeted her.

Looking at the expressions of several people, Feng Ziying knew that these people might have answered well, to be precise, they should have answered well compared to the other students around them.

"Uncle Fang hasn't come out yet?" Feng Ziying didn't wait for the few of them to speak, and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Fang hasn't come out yet." Wu Fu nodded.

It was still the practice of state affairs that best understood Feng Ziying's thoughts, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "This matter should not be mentioned again, but you and I know it in our hearts." ”

Feng Ziying smiled, "You don't have to be too deliberate, but this kind of thing is not a glorious thing, if it is known to outsiders, it seems that our Qingtan Academy lacks a foundation, as for the other students, if they do not do well in the exam and fall off the list, and they are not open-minded, I am afraid that they will have to be upset with you and me again." ”

Feng Ziying's words also reminded several other people that once these few people were all admitted to the exam, and the other students who had not participated in the exchange of questions that night were not admitted to the exam and learned about it, I am afraid that they will really be disgusted, and it will not be beautiful.

Zheng Chongjian and Fan Jingwen were the first to calm down, and they both nodded their heads, but Wu Fu whispered: "Ziying, you have to tell Ke Xuan a word or two." ”

Feng Ziying discussed this topic with He Fengsheng when she was walking the night before, and Wu Fu also encountered it, so she also reminded Feng Ziying.

"Well, Ke Xuan is a cautious person, he should understand, but it's better to say it, that is, Uncle Fang must keep him shut up, don't provoke right and wrong." Feng Ziying said with a smile.

Among these people, the most unstable mouth is Fang Youdu, if it were Song Shixiang and Xu Qixun, they would not have this worry.

"Don't worry, Ziying, Uncle Fang likes to show off in small things, this kind of big plan is not rash and impulsive." Wu Fu knows his fellow countryman very well.

The other classmates began to come out one after another, and several of them stopped talking about it.

When Fang Youdu came out, Wu Fu pulled him aside and told him repeatedly, which made Fang Youdu a little angry, is he the kind of person who doesn't understand the importance in the minds of his classmates?

When the group returned to the Hongbin Inn, the whole academy was jubilant, not to celebrate, but to completely relax.

For the students, the competition of one subject in three years is too stressful, especially in the last three or four months, everyone has studied hard, and now they have finally been liberated.

The owner of the Hongbin Inn was also very interesting, and prepared a sumptuous dinner early, and Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun also came to the academy, which was regarded as a reassurance for everyone.

As the head of the mountain and the head of the academy, he naturally has to ask his students one by one, encourage those who do well in the exam, and comfort and encourage those who do not play well.

"Ziying, how do you feel?" Guan Yingzhen was the most concerned about Feng Ziying, and called him aside alone to ask.

"Chief, it's really hard to say, my foundation of scripture and righteousness and the choice of words and words can't be compared with Mengzhang Kexuan, this gap is a little bigger, of course, my current policy theory may have some advantages, it depends on how the same exam and the main exam are treated." Feng Ziying told the truth.

"Well, apart from the rest, what do you think of the current policy theory? Do you know that there are rumors in Beijing that this theme is proposed by the emperor himself. "Guan Yingzhen is still that indifferent appearance.

"Huh? The emperor personally made the question? Feng Ziying was taken aback, "This seems to be a bit against the ancestral system, right?" ”

The proposition of the Great Zhou regulation has always been the right of the imperial court ministers and the six important ministers.

"It's not that it's not counted, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, there was a subject that was proposed by Taizu himself, but that was at the beginning of the founding of the country, and this kind of system has been formed since then, but it is said that the emperor is extremely dissatisfied with the topic discussed by the cabinet and the six ministries, so he personally proposed the last topic."

This news has spread in Beijing, and Guan Yingzhen only learned about it from his former colleagues on the way here, which also makes the relationship between the emperor and the six cabinet ministries more and more prominent.

"I'm afraid it's going to be a bit of a problem." Feng Ziying's face was a little gloomy, "The emperor's proposition, but when the examiners take the papers, I'm afraid they may not come according to the emperor's intentions." ”

Guan Ying was not very worried, "Ziying doesn't have to worry, even though the examiners are not satisfied with the emperor's behavior, but the more important policy theory is the trend of the times, and they also approve it, and it has no impact." ”

Of course, it has no impact on other students, and it is even a good thing, but for himself, if he is too sharp and sharp, he is afraid that it will become a disaster, Feng Ziying secretly weighed it in her heart.

It seems that Jinke himself is afraid that he is really going to plant, thinking of this, Feng Ziying can't help but smile bitterly.

People are not as good as heaven, I didn't expect this to be the emperor himself, I thought that the sixth cabinet department really suddenly dared to break the trap and let go, but the result is like this, I am afraid that if the main examination led by Fang Congzhe sees his own papers, he will take them as a bird to sacrifice the flag.

********

The examination is over, and it enters the stage of marking and marking the papers.

The two directors of the Ministry of Rites have been repeatedly told by Gu Bingqian, and one of them is still his cronies, so Gu Bingqian is still relatively relieved, but this is the same as the Masters of the Exam, and the other eight people are not something that they can control, so the two people in the left and right Chunfang can still talk about it, but the six people in the Hanlin Academy, Gu Bingqian knows that it is absolutely adhering to Fang Congzhe's intentions.

The emperor personally proposed, and when he thought of this, Gu Bingqian couldn't help but get excited.

It seems that Qiao Yingjia really saw through the mystery, and the six important ministers of the cabinet actually violated the holy will, and finally forced the emperor to make a proposition in person, this meaning is too obvious.

Gu Bingqian knew that he was afraid that the focus would quickly shift to this marking, review and marking.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Bingqian knew that it was time for him, the deputy examiner, to "come forward".

The deputy examiner is also the examiner, Gu Bingqian remembers that Qiao Yingjia left a sentence leisurely when he left at the end.

The deputy examiner is to pick up the omissions and fill in the gaps, and if you sit crooked in the same exam, you must correct it mercilessly.

Gu Bingqian also knew that he couldn't read all of these thousands of papers, but he needed to keep an eye on the few who danced the most with Fang Congzhe.

The transcribed papers began to flow in, and the ten fellow examinees began to mark and review the papers in full swing.

Different from the Jingyi exam papers, the Jingyi exam papers basically have a conventional standard, basically after a simple reading, you can determine the grade, as long as it is not too outrageous, you can basically pass.

However, at this time, the policy theory is different, the subjective impression is much more important, and a paper may be very different in the minds of different examiners, and the purpose of the deputy examiner is to supervise and fill in the gaps.

Before marking the papers, Fang Congzhe and Gu Bingqian both specifically emphasized the need to seek justice for the country, and also put forward some standards, but this standard is still in the hearts of the examiners.

As the papers begin to be evaluated, the particularly good ones will be sent to the examiner for a review, while the deputy examiner will mainly check the deposed papers to see if there are any omissions, and it is also a supervision of the same exam.

Each person in the same room basically has to review 400 to 500 papers, and take 30 to 40 of them, of course, there is no fixed number, it depends on the quality of the papers.

Gu Bingqian quietly inspected it, and from time to time he selected one or two volumes to review, of course, for him, he only needed to take a cursory look, as long as it was not too far from his own standards, he would not ask.

"Ridiculous! Amusing! Be unconventional and sensational! As soon as Gu Bingqian walked to the other end, he heard the voice of Tang Cheng in the third room, and his heart sank, this guy was also the object of his focus.
