In modern times, when candidates meet their classmates after taking the exam, most of the time they have to match the papers to see who is right and who is wrong. Although most of the candidates who will be tested are small papers, there are also differences in the depth of the problem and the difference in intention.
After Cui Xie arrived home, Guo Yong and Wang Zhichang were already at home, and the two Lu Ju and Tang Ning were still copying the final manuscript in the field. He didn't care about eating either, so he went in and greeted the second old man in the hall first. He came out and went to the kitchen to get a steamed bun. He took the angelica mutton soup and went to the guest house to confront the two who came back first.
That is to say, the general thinking on the four scriptures, the five scriptures selected by everyone are different, and they do not match. After about half a watch, the three juren also came back, but they all dragged on until the candles were exhausted, and they couldn't make any more changes before they were willing to go out. Cui Xie asked someone to bring hot soup and hot dishes, and the three of them also had no intention of eating. When they came back, they asked the three people who came out early how they wrote and how many words they wrote.
Mr. Lu said nervously: "I read my Spring and Autumn title for the last time, "The Autumn Jin Dynasty, Xun Wu Shuai and Shi Xian Yu", it seems to have more than 500 words, but I haven't counted it all, have I passed it... I don't know if the examiner will be dismissed directly!"
He lamented that the number of words was too many, but Lu An admired him to the ground and sighed: "Brother Lu has a literary talent and can write a mighty river of words. If the examiner likes it, he can let go of the long words. I'm afraid What! My article "Yundiz Lives in the People's Protection Jue Jue But Is the King of the World" is written and written, and suddenly the train of thought is blocked, so I can only reluctantly conclude it, and I don't know if I have enough 300 words!"
Even Guo Caizi was a little worried about being a scholar, and complained to these ordinary candidates: "As long as the five classics questions can be done in the middle, it is enough. The broken question is 'the sage asks the ruler of Lu, and he thinks of the ancestors of the law'. Regarding the original question, 'If the person survives, then the government will move, and if the person dies, then the government will not be broken.' Is the sentence not broken deeply? How did you break it?"
It's not too deep to break! Isn't the way to govern to focus on taking history as a mirror, observing the governance of the previous generation and imitating it
Everyone was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of scholar who did better than others and despised himself for not being good. After answering the question, he ate a few sips of hot soup and tea for supper, and drank some medicine to ward off the cold, and then went back to rest. .
The next morning, Cui Xie silenced the article, and with a cheeky belt, Lu Ju and a few talented fellows from the same town went to comment on the article by Mr. Li Dongyang.
Li Taigong's seven or seven has passed. Teacher Li was distracted from the pain of losing his father because he was worried about what he would try, and his spirit was slightly better. He didn't ask who he brought with him. Come and look.
The articles of these six jurors are slightly superior, but they are all serious jurors that they have obtained by themselves. The ideas and words of the articles are guaranteed. What they worry about is not whether their articles are good or not, but mainly whether they suit the examiner's eyes. There is a famous saying in the world, "I don't want the article to be in the world, but I hope the examiner is in the article", and it is said that the candidates have this worry in their hearts - no matter how well written the article is, if the article does not meet the examiner's wishes, the examiner has the right to dismiss you, you It doesn't make sense anywhere!
The six candidates who lived in the Cui family sent Cui Xie out of the house full of hope, all eagerly waiting for Teacher Li's verdict.
Li Dongyang is a person who has been an examiner. He is not like an ordinary scholar who judges an article by reading it several times. Instead, according to the habit of judging papers in the real exam room, the first game is to look at the first righteousness. Even the first righteousness only looks at the first four lines. If the first four lines are not attractive, no matter how well written the following, the examiner will not have the patience to read it carefully.
After the six articles "Zi Zai Wenshao" were sentenced, he had a plan in his mind. He pointed out Wang Zhichang and Lu An's two papers that were not hot enough, and asked Cui Xie to tell the two after three games, not to say it right away. He also read the four scriptures of the remaining four people in turn. Although many of the five scriptures were not his original scriptures, his talent and knowledge of the five scriptures can also be seen to be superior.
These students have done accurate and thorough reading of the four scriptures, but the five scriptures of Lu Boshan, Guo Yong, and Lu An are slightly worse. It's not that they learned the scriptures and meanings poorly, but because they have practiced the notes of the famous teachers of the Imperial College. The topic, the understanding of the four books has been deepened, and the five classics topics are still missing the guidance of famous teachers.
For example, Tang Ning from the Book of Poetry Room has the taste of the answer set of "Notes on Imperial Examinations" in the questions of the classics and meanings, which is familiar to the eyes.
Teacher Li said to Cui Xie with some emotion: "There are many people who have done this set of questions in Beijing. I am afraid that when students have the answer when they read the book, they will do it according to the answer. Thousands of words are the same, and it is difficult for the examiner to win. ."
The routine is not very secure. Although Cui Xie's own is not routine, it is also a bit dangerous. It's not that his essays are inaccurate and incomplete, and the text and allusions are inappropriate, but his "Ununderstanding the Position" is too outspoken, and I'm afraid it doesn't fit the examiner's vision.
He shook his head, but the corners of his mouth curled up quietly: "Yin Ge Lao and Wan and Liu are kind to each other, and they are gentle and charming, I am afraid your article will not catch his eyes, but if it falls into Wu Yude's hands, only I'm afraid that he will be highly praised." This article's graceful and loyal meaning is beyond words, and it captures the essence of the ancients' irony. The style and meaning of the article are all in the same vein as "Gongge" and "Fake Music", and can follow the way of "music". It is quite a novel article to start with and write about the effect of "showing virtue with joy".
He kept all these compliments in his heart. He didn't say it to make the students proud, but only said his judgment on the preferences of the two examiners. This inference is similar to what Cui Xie himself thought in the examination room, and Cui Xie said with a smile: "The students also thought about this exam when they wrote the summary, and I'm afraid they won't like it. But if they don't write this sentence, this article will be a little worse. My breath is not perfect, and my breath is still in my chest and I can't feel comfortable. If my breath is blocked, I won't be able to make future articles?"
That way, I would have failed the test, and now I would at best fail the test, and the results would be the same. I might as well write it myself first!
He is so optimistic that Teacher Li is also optimistic. He patted his paper and said, "Just write it. If the words on the field are not satisfactory to you, how can you make the examiner see it. Even if Yin Xueshi can't take it? In your paper, the next subject will have a honest, honest and upright person as the examiner, and naturally I would like to have your courage to speak up, be loyal and love the king!"
Thinking about it on the bright side, if the examiner really doesn't like him, he will be dismissed directly, and he will not have to worry about the student's lack of enthusiasm, and he will fall into the top three in the palace exam.
Both teachers and students are positive people by nature, and they put aside the past and concentrate on preparing for the next two tests. There is no need to mention the small questions such as theory, table, and edict, and the examiner does not need to look at it carefully. It is enough to use a set of ancient prose that you have memorized. For judgment, you can do it correctly as long as you have memorized the laws of the Great Ming Dynasty. The most important thing is to ask questions.
Not only the third exam has to be tested, but also the most important palace exam. If the level of policy questions is not in the top two, it is best not to take the exam after the exam is over, so as not to become a fellow jinshi with a difficult future.
Cui Xie went home empty-handed, and Mr. Lu and his fellow villagers rushed to ask him how Mr. Li's sentence was. He didn't tell the truth to the two who were slightly poor in the test, but said: "My teacher has read it roughly, and there are things to watch. It's just that I was busy at home, and I didn't have time to judge it immediately, so I have left the paper to look at it carefully. There will be corrections when I have time, and I will bring it back and see for yourself.”
Although there is no sure word to take, but after hearing this sentence "there is something to be seen", several juren quietly relieved, and hurriedly flipped through the "Law", "Examples" and the famous imperial edicts of the previous dynasty, preparing for the first chapter. Second field.
This is still a four-game approach.
Between the two exams, those who stock up on Ju Anzhai's comic strips and want to read them after the exam simply borrow or buy them, read everything they want, and save themselves worrying about it. Uneasy before. But this time they made preparations, and the previous one who told the story of Anqianhu Shimei's plan to alienate Japanese pirates and traitors stopped talking, and quietly squeezed into the crowd and entered the arena.
In the second test, there is one test, one can be selected from the list of imperial edicts, and five sentences are judged.
The topic is "Junzheng is not upright", and the three topics of the imperial edict are all simulating articles from the Han and Tang Dynasties: the imperial edict is "Imitating the Han Dynasty's decrees and officials to persuade learning and etiquette"; The form of "Sanpin Gao" is the "Proposed Appointment Form to the Doctor of the Five Classics of the Five Classics".
Relatively speaking, the format of edicts and edicts is more strict, and there is less room for oneself to play, and it is still easier to write brilliantly. Then there will be the first three games, and the next two games will also be watched by Fang Shi. You must stand out from the 4,000 people and be one of the 300 selected. You must also try your best to write well in the last two games.
Cui Xie chose the thank-you form without hesitation, browsed through the five judgment questions again, recalled the "Law of the Great Ming" in his heart, and wrote it down in the draft, corresponding to the judgments one by one.
Colleague's verdict on behalf of the copy: should write the document to call the colleague to judge on behalf of the 80th; discarding and destroying the utensils, crops, etc.: the theory of thieves and stealing, just don't stab the face, destroy official property plus two, and mistakenly destroy it minus three. Compensation may not be a crime; Mongolian Semu marriage: only intermarriage with Han people is allowed, and self-marriage is not allowed. Those who violate the law will be cut off and divorced. Forbidden to cut off people and charge Suwei: Anyone who commits a crime in Beijing and is sentenced to capital punishment or exile will not be allowed to relatives. Entering the palace to serve as a servant and staying in the palace; falsely accusing people of exile and migration: people who falsely accuse people of exiles will be charged with military service, and officials who deliberately make people to replace others in military service, on a hundred sticks, travel three thousand miles...
When it comes to attaching great importance to the law of Ming Dynasty, Cui Xie's familiarity is not as diligent as his.
After all, he is a traveler, and he is not as familiar with the various light and dark rules as the natives. He must read the laws and regulations a little, lest one day something happens because he does not understand the background of the times. Moreover, he had a lawsuit as soon as he wore it, and there was another case of Xu's false accusation and punishment, which also made him appreciate the power of Daming's law, and he felt a little more secure when he learned a little more.
These five judgment questions are directly written by dictation, and it doesn't take much effort.
There is no word limit for the topic, the more the better. The three exams also used 12 scrolls. The first exam consisted of seven papers, three exams with five exams, and the second exam only had one essay, one table, and five exams combined, which were not as long as one hour.
Are you too embarrassed to not write more about that one table? A question must be at least two or three times the length of the text, so you can show it to the examiner, right
Cui Xie sighed lightly, put the written judgment question aside, changed a piece of manuscript paper and copied down the thesis "Junzheng is not wrong", and scrutinized it carefully.
The sentence "Junzheng is not wrong" comes from "Mencius Lilou Chapter Sentences", the original sentence is what Mencius said to Gongsun Chou, "Only adults can control the heart of the king. If it is not right, the country will be settled with a righteous ruler.” The "ke" in this "keep the king's heart is wrong" is actually the word "g", but it is not the "g" of the benevolent bamboo, but the meaning of reformation, which is to persuade the king's heart to go wrong and reform.
Cheng Zi said: "The rule of chaos in the world depends on the benevolence and inhumanity of the rulers." Mencius's words were to tell Gongsun Chou that only a gentleman could persuade the ruler, and guide the ruler's heart from wrong to right. As the saying goes, "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked", the atmosphere has always been changed from top to bottom, and when the monarch is caught, the ministers will naturally follow and reform, and the country will be ruled.
Seeing this question, Cui Xie seemed to have seen the first exam, "I don't understand the position of the people, and the people are very important", and a sentence suddenly appeared in his heart, "Your Majesty, the concubine has to be loyal again!"
He analyzed the topic according to the way of making art and literature, and he also wrote the opening sentence like a broken bamboo with the energy in his chest as simple and powerful as when he broke the topic. The righteousness of the ministers, you can only ask for your heart."
