Volume B Section 185 The Temple Examination - Not Going the Ordinary Way!
Half a month is a wonderful holiday for the students who have passed the Jinshi examination.
Well, of course, there are also those who have to worry and struggle for the palace test, but in fact, those who have a little experience and experience know that the palace test is to rely on on-the-spot performance to see the emperor's holy will.
There is not much point in studying too hard, and you may even be too nervous and cause yourself to play abnormally.
Several people like Lian Guoshi, Xu Ji, Han Jing and others have already longed for the Sanding Jia, although this is still facing challenges from Yang Sichang, Huang Zunsu, Ai Nanxing and other students who broke into the top ten of the examination, but there are too many uncertainties in the Sanding Jia, and it all depends on play and the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart.
But people like Feng Ziying, Ye Tinggui, Fan Jingwen, Zheng Chongjian, Wu Fu and others still need to consider being able to fight into the top two.
But Fang Youdu is the most open-minded, in his own words, he has already achieved a Jinshi reputation beyond his normal performance, what else can he hope for?
"Ziying, Mengzhang, Kexuan, Luyou, Dazhang, it's not me who said, if I don't have to participate in this palace exam, I can not go, I am very satisfied with the top three Tongjinshi, it is just right to watch politics later, I can ask for a relaxed holiday to go home and get married, and the family in my hometown should probably know the good news, and they are celebrating, right?"
Fang Youdu looked calm, and everyone shook their heads and smiled.
If you have no desire, you are rigid, and Fang Youdu has no psychological baggage, but a few of them still don't want to fight, so it is naturally difficult to be as chic as this guy.
However, everyone actually knows very well in their hearts that the ranking of the top three in this palace test should not be much different from this test.
After all, everyone's strength is there, even if there is a super level of performance, it is just someone else.
Generally speaking, if you are a jinshi after 300 people in the entrance examination, it is difficult to break into the second class in the temple examination.
Of course, this can only be said that under common sense, there are still two or three or five outliers in almost every subject who will break through this barrier, so everyone also hopes that they can become this kind of alternative.
The palace test is in the Fengtian Temple, and Feng Ziying only knew when she arrived that this should be the Taihe Hall in the previous life, but at present, it should still follow the pattern of the former Ming Dynasty and have been renovated to a certain extent, and this will be the place for the palace test.
According to the practice of the Great Week, the exam will be issued in the morning, and then Shen Zheng will hand in the papers at two minutes, the time will be about five hours, and a simple diet will be provided at noon.
It should be said that the time is not short, after all, there is only one question in this palace examination, and the number of words required is not much, generally within 1,000 words, but the text is required to be concise, the discussion is substantial, and the views and countermeasures must not be out of the box.
The questions of the palace examination can be drawn up by the six ministers of the cabinet and selected by the emperor, or they can be determined by the emperor himself, the former is more common, but the latter is also quite few.
Even the last theme of the current examination was drawn up by the emperor himself, and needless to say, the emperor personally made the questions for the current examination.
However, although the emperor personally drafted the questions for the examination, after all, it must also be submitted to the cabinet for review to avoid the questions being too biased and affecting the overall results of the candidates, but the palace examination is basically not subject to this restriction.
Because those who can pass the test are basically the elites of the entire Great Zhou, no matter from which angle they come from, they should be able to answer, and the only thing depends on whether the candidate's answer is in line with the emperor's wishes.
The 380 students did not line up according to the ranking of the examination, but lined up according to the region, starting from the two straights, and then from north to south.
Feng Ziying and Fan Jingwen are still walking together, and there are 29 Jinshi in the entire Beizhili examination, of which there are only two people in Qingtan Academy, including Fan Jingwen and Feng Ziying, compared to Chongzheng, Tonghui and Diecui Academy, there are two or three people, but there are more Qingtan Jinshi in Nanzhili and Henan, like Lian Guoshi, Cao Wenheng, Ye Tinggui are all from Henan, and there are many Qingtan Jinshi in Nanzhili, Cai Maode, Fang Zhenru, Wu Fu, and Fang Youdu are all from Nanzhili.
Feng Ziying saw Yang Sichang and Hou Sui at a glance, Yang Sichang was fourth in high school, Hou Sui was not bad, and high school was sixteenth, all of which could be regarded as strong contenders for the first class.
"Brother Wen, Brother Ruopu." Feng Ziying took the initiative to step forward to say hello, and Fan Jingwen also followed.
"Ziying, Mengzhang." Yang Sichang and Hou Sui also bowed to Feng Ziying and Fan Jingwen.
After the Shilin Festival the year before last, the students of Qingtan Academy and Chongzheng Academy are familiar with each other a lot, especially the top ones basically know each other, and the reputation of Qingtan Academy among the two colleges is far ahead, but Chongzheng Academy is also steadily improving.
It turned out that Tonghui Academy, which was on a par with these two academies, was obviously distanced and fell into the second echelon together with Diecui Academy.
This also improved the relationship between the students of Qingtan Academy and Chongzheng Academy a lot, and the students of the two colleges also began to consciously regard Tonghui College and Diecui Academy as second-rate.
After a few words of greeting, a director of the Ministry of Etiquette guided the Jinshi to begin to enter separately.
At this time, the emperor in the Fengtian Hall has already stood with the civil and military officials in their official uniforms, and a cadre of Jinshi has been guided into the red platform in front of the hall with sincere fear, well, it is the so-called Danqi.
Then all the students bowed five times and kowtowed three times under the auspices of the saluting officer, the official of Honglu Temple finished the salute, sounded the whip, the emperor and the hundred officials retired from the court, and the sergeants came in to arrange the table, and then the officials of the Ministry of Rites began to distribute the questions.
Everyone knelt down to receive the questions, and each answered the test table.
It was the first time Feng Ziying had experienced this somewhat wonderful scene, he hadn't even seen the appearance of Emperor Yonglong and the three pavilion elders clearly, but he saw Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, and he had to say that this gaze was specifically aimed at being useful.
As soon as the topic was discussed, Feng Ziying couldn't help but get excited.
"A Brief Discussion on the Priorities and Strategies for Dealing with the Periphery of the Periphery"
When she saw this question, Feng Ziying knew that what Qiao Yingjia said had worked, and Gu Bingqian definitely sent the key "physical evidence" of the turmoil in the locked courtyard into the palace, and invited Emperor Yonglong to take a look.
And this question was definitely made by Emperor Yonglong himself, and it was decided without even going through the discussion between the cabinet elders and the officials of the Six Ministries.
Before posing a threat to the great interests of the Emperor Taishang and triggering the Emperor's doubts and backlash, Emperor Yonglong could indeed exert his arbitrary power on these issues that could be called some minor issues, not to mention that this was his power in the first place.
I'm afraid that no one thought that the questions of the current palace examination would be so biased, and in the case that the subject of the examination has already involved military affairs, it is generally impossible to continue to ask questions in this direction in the palace examination.
This is the basic rule of the temple test, like the subject of the test if it is wealth, then the palace test will generally be agricultural water conservancy or Cao Wu Yichuan, if the test is agriculture, then the palace test may be to educate the people's livelihood, all in all, there will be no overlap.
However, this Emperor Yonglong really wants to take the usual path.
Feng Ziying even felt that at this moment, several eyes glanced at her.
No need to ask, it must have been those who were there that night, and now even the temple test questions are partially in the right direction, which is simply a prophecy from God.
However, Feng Ziying knew that for several of them, this question was only a few points ahead, but they might not be able to get their wish.
Because the title of this question lies in the four words "coping strategy".
Ultimately, priorities come down to the strategy.
Feng Ziying was able to tell them a rough idea that night, and she basically knew about it, but the strategy to deal with, to be honest, even Feng Ziying hadn't thought about it seriously before.
Because he never thought that he would have such a biased question in the palace test, this should not be a question that the scholars should answer at all, he didn't know if the elders and the officials of the six departments had a quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor, but it was estimated that there should be, but he did not win against this Yonglong Emperor.
After reading books for decades and never getting in touch with Korean and military affairs, how can ordinary students know how to deal with border troubles?
Even Feng Ziying herself is not too sure.
However, I am not too sure, so the other students, unless they are students from Weizhen, must also have a very deep understanding of border troubles, and even need to have a clear understanding of the threats in the whole week, so that you can win on this issue, and this possibility is very small.
The children of the southeastern coastal towns may know a lot about the threat of the Japanese invasion, but how much do they know about the threat of the Tatars in the northwest? Do the children of Liaodong Town know where Annan and Dongwu are? Do you know the contradiction between Tusi and Liuguan?
It's impossible, even if a few people know about it, so what? I didn't think about being a Sanding Jia, that would be too hateful, and if I really wanted to enter the Sanding Jia, I would be scolded to death by thousands of students.
Well, apart from herself, Feng Ziying thought proudly, complete, happy, happy, Feng Ziying couldn't think of what words to use to describe her mood.
And this is a brief argument that requires less than 1,000 words, which means that there is only room for discussion that needs to be clicked and stopped, and there is no need for specific explanation, which can avoid leaking too many flaws, which is exactly what Feng Ziying wants.
Feng Ziying took a deep breath and began to solve the problem, writing, "The trouble of the henchmen - Liaodong ,......"
"......, the Trouble of the Elbow and the Technique of Balance - Tartar ,......"
"Fraternal Troubles and Benefits: Threats and Opportunities from the Sea,......"
"The disease of ringworm can also be fatal - the battle between the Tusi and the officials should not be underestimated,......"
From the beginning of the pen, countless ideas and thoughts continue to pour out of my mind, which brings together the knowledge of the mouth-cannon powerhouses that I have obtained in various networks such as books, forums, Zhihu, Baidu, etc. in my previous life, and it can be streamlined and brought into play at this time.
Don't seek to be very specific and practical and operable, but to seek novel and breakthrough views, isn't this what His Majesty the Emperor wants?
Even His Majesty the Emperor dared to take the unusual path, why didn't he dare to make a wave?
