Chapter 105: I've Decided (Part 2)

After taking their seats, there are soldiers carrying lanterns to parade to prevent candidates from moving seats, changing papers, throwing papers, talking, and looking forward to the situation.

Lin Yanchao flipped through the test papers, but saw six plain papers as manuscript papers, and three pieces of submission paper as the main papers written with honors. Lin Yanchao saw the examination room opposite Yongdao, and many people were anxious to write their names with ink and pen.

Lin Yanchao shook his head, this is too anxious, it is not so long to write the name, and when the ink on the pen and inkstone is freeze-dried, it is not easy to write, it is really a little exam experience and a debt of it.

The sky is bright, and after the cloud board is tapped three times, the candidates are already seated, and if someone stands up again, they will be punished for cheating. There is only one end for cheating in the county exam, that is, you will be taken away by the flail, not to mention the disqualification of the exam, and you will be blacklisted.

Then Zhou Zhixian briefly said a word of persuasion, which was nothing more than the discipline of the examination room, and the words of caution, and then the exam began, and the scribes held the exam question boards and walked back and forth on the road.

A scribe held the first question, the fourth book question, the Jin people had Feng women, and Feng women got off the car with their arms crossed.

"The first one is the interception question!"

Many candidates gasped, Lin Yanchao didn't think much about it, looked at the exam question board, and first picked up a pen and copied all the questions on the draft.

The second scribe held up the exam poster and wrote the Pentateuch questions.

There are a total of five questions in the Five Classics, the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Book of Rites, the Book of Poetry, and the Book of Books, and the scholars each take this scripture to answer.

The third scribe is a poem with five words and eight rhymes.

After Lin Yanchao copied all the titles on the paper, he finally wrote his name on the main volume and draft written by Yu, and then looked at the title.

The first four-book question, the Jin people have Feng women, and Feng women get off the car with their arms crossed.

This sentence comes from the second part of Mencius's book.

The original text is to the effect. It was a famine in Qi, and the people of Qi hoped that Mencius would persuade the king of Qi to open a warehouse for disaster relief. Mencius replied, I'm afraid this is going to be a Feng woman.

Who is Feng Nu? Feng Nu used to fight tigers, but later she stopped fighting tigers when she did good deeds, and once the tiger hurt people. When the people saw Feng Nu and begged him for help, Feng Nu rolled up her sleeves and got out of the car to fight the tiger. The people were very grateful to Feng Nu, but the scholars ridiculed him, and in order to fight the tiger, he gave up his principles and pursuit of doing good.

Lu Xun has a saying that he is a Feng woman again, and he is forced to return to his old business for some reason.

The Jin people had Feng women, and Feng women got off the car with their arms crossed, and a large section of scriptures was cut in the middle. Good at fighting tigers, pawns for good, scholars and so on a large paragraph, so it is a veritable interception question. But these two sentences are in the same chapter, so they are considered to be a sympathetic match. And the title is very wonderful, the two sentences are put together, and there will be no sense of broken joints.

If you change to someone else, you may think that such a topic must not be in the Four Books of Wenfu. I can only answer honestly.

But Lin Yanchao read the title, but he didn't feel surprised at all. What about the interception question? This question is not new, and I took it once in the eighth year of Jiajing's examination. I happened to memorize this question in the "Past Years Examination Collection", Lin Yanchao clearly remembered the first place in the exam, how Tang Shunzhi, a member of the eight shares, answered this question.

This "Shuntianfu Township Trial Collection over the Years" is sold in the provincial capital. Although it is sold, it does not mean that many people buy it, many people buy it does not mean that many people watch it, and many people see it does not mean that many people memorize this question.

Lin Yanchao looked left and right, but saw that the candidates were all lifting pens and grinding ink, and began to meditate. He didn't think twice about to sharpen the ink pen, when suddenly the tip of the pen shook, and he remembered the words of the scholar surnamed Zhao in the restaurant.

What a Yu Ziyou, you are really calculating, knowing that I am going to take the county exam, the scholar who deliberately participated in the Houguan county exam this time spread rumors that are not good for me. It's going to ruin my reputation.

Of course, this is beneficial, as it makes him angry and emotionally agitated, making him unable to perform normally during the exam.

Second, when you let yourself in the examination room and copy the questions again, you are afraid and timid. even forced himself to be pressured by public opinion, not by betting on questions, but by writing essays for exams by himself.

Third, he used the public opinion of the scholars to make his own articles appear to be untrue, affecting the judgment of the magistrate. This strategy follows one step at a time, which can be described as one step and three moves.

Lin Yanchao put down his pen, the time of the county test is full of one day, and ordinary people can complete three questions, so most people are not in a hurry to write, but if it is changed to seven questions a day in the township test, I am afraid there will not be so much effort, for you to think.

Lin Yanchao closed his eyes and meditated, first silently wrote Cheng Wen, and the success of the question was done in previous exams. After all, the Four Books and Five Classics are only tens of thousands of words, and the scope of the examination is so wide, and the township examination, the general examination, the palace examination and other main examinations are all from it, which sentence has not been used?

In the exam, the disciple who happened to memorize that article wrote it, can you take it? If you don't take it, you dare to question Cheng Mo who was selected by the ancestors, then the examiner is still the person who wrote the article, maybe it is which Hanlin and which pavilion elder now.

Secondly, this question has stumped a lot of lifters in the exam, generally speaking, the main exam is not a truncation question, so those who have been practicing the art for many years have been tested a lot. The interception question is divergent thinking, and he finds another way from the meaning of the four books, and he is not sure enough.

But these two items are still not enough for Lin Yanchao to write.

Many people think that whether they can be admitted to the exam or not depends only on whether they can write a good essay. But they didn't think about the next step, and who would judge this good article. Good and bad, take or not take is only between the examiner and the infallible.

Therefore, the exam is not about people and articles, but about people and people.

Zhou Zhixian thinks that it is possible or not, which is where Lin Yanchao's direction of writing lies.

Lin Yanchao remembered the last time he dealt with Zhou Zhixian, and Master Shen had figured out every bit of it, and Zhou Zhixian's character had already been roughly understood in his heart. This person is conceited, stubborn, ruthless, mean, and unkind, this is not Lin Yanchao's rhetoric alone, but the uncle relayed the comments of the officials in the yamen on this Houguan County parent official.

In addition, in order to study Zhou Zhi County's preferences, Lin Yanchao read Zhou Zhi County's previous children's swabs, township examinations, meeting examinations, and palace examinations, and even the articles that Zhou Zhi County failed to admit and did not admit them, and he also tried his best to read them.

After reading these, I also read the fifty articles containing annotations in the last county trial of Zhou Zhi County.

Looking at Zhu Pi from Zhou Zhixian, I feel that he is a very principled person, and his principle is only three words: 'depending on the mood'. Some articles, where they are well written, are criticized by him as useless, but some of them are not brilliant and he thinks they are okay. Of course, as a professional background, most of his articles are still neutral and peaceful, and there are very few swords that go sideways.

In the end, Lin Yanchao thought that it could be written, and Zhou Zhixian chose to intercept the title of the county test question, because he didn't want the scholars to attack the article, in other words, if the attack was successful, he had no choice.

Lin Yanchao picked up the pen again at the moment, thinking of the ridicule of those scholars, he couldn't help but sneer, what about the copyist, some people just can't see people's good, and you think that sarcasm me can make me succumb to your public opinion and be timid. I, Lin Yanchao, am not afraid of people's irresponsible remarks, when the list is released, the wood has already been completed, and I will directly use the ranking to slap you in the face, and I will take the county test.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao wrote down, and broke the question, the Jin people changed their careers to be good at the beginning, and finally favored others and lost themselves.

This is the problem that Tang Shunzhi will take the test that year, saying but not doing, in a decent manner, and exhausting the meaning of the question.

Lin Yanchao finished writing one article and was about to write the next one, when there was a sudden cold wind outside. The county exam is still in February, and the cold wind is steep, and many poor candidates with thin clothes are shivering, and they have to try to press the test papers on the desk with their arms to prevent them from blowing away.

After Lin Yanchao first pressed the roll with a paperweight, he hurriedly put on the robe prepared by Lin Qianqian, and the cover of the wall of the examination room suddenly made his body very warm.

I don't know how many candidates are frozen into dogs at this moment. It seems that the exam should also pay attention to the right time, place and people! (To be continued......)
