On February 15th, it will be the final exam of the three trials.
Wudao Ce asked to examine the current affairs of the classics and history. The first question was about the way of the emperor to govern, the second question was about the meaning of the scriptures, the third question was about history, the fourth question was about advice, and the fifth question was about river workers.
This policy question asked whether the "four essentials" in "University Yanyi" are urgent today, and it hits the point of Cui Xie's review!
Their Guozijian Qiu Jijiu was the first person to study "University Yanyi", and he quoted the content of "University Yanyi" when speaking about "University". Later, before he went to the palace to teach the prince, he made a special trip to He made up a few "University" lessons, which also included the main points of Zhendexiu's "University Yanyi".
The "four essentials" in the Yanyi of the University are "the essentials of examining things to gain knowledge", "the essentials of sincerity and righteousness", "the essentials of self-cultivation", and "the essentials of balancing the family". The question asked, Emperor Taizu Gao—that is, Zhu Yuanzhang—particularly read the "Yanyi of the Great Learning", copied and pasted it under the corridor, watched it day and night, and reflected on the strategy of governing the country according to the words of Yanyi. , in order to open up the Great Ming Dynasty and achieve the rule of no borders.
And under the rule of today's Taiping Shoucheng monarch, which of the four essentials in "University Yanyi" can be used together
This question is obviously not a single choice, but a multiple choice!
His "Must-read Notes for Imperial Examinations: The National Child and the Famous Teacher Qiu Jijiu and Lectures on the University" included such a multiple-choice question.
With a slight smile, he picked up the pen and slowly wrote: "The teachings of the sacred teachings have been taught in the past, and the foundation of the unification has been established.
The policy question is different from the theory. The theory is for the sake of understanding, and the analysis is profound and sharp. Prose can be used more, and the words are not gorgeous; the policy question is presented to the emperor. Yu Babi tactfully used Manli's long couplet. Fortunately, this kind of couplet does not need to be relative to each other like couplets, and it is not like the time period. The eight-bit sentence is limited in length and content. As long as the format of the sentence is consistent and the rhythm is clear and soothing, you can change it a little. keywords will do.
I have written a lot of eight-part essays, and the length and shortness of the questions can be easily compared to the even sentences.
Not only did it talk about "the rule of ten thousand years", the second test "Junzheng is not wrong" also has the part about the emperor's rule. Copying yourself is not copying, and you can use the concept of "king's heart". , to elevate the learning of the emperor to the height of the righteousness of the king's heart - the king who keeps the success from time to time uses the four essentials of the university to give warnings, but he has a relaxed mind and worries about political sluggishness.
It's almost as good as it gets to this point. If I keep writing it, I'm afraid it's easy to ask the instructor to replace the emperor... I guess the emperor won't be self-substituting after reading this article. In the imperial court context books, he was praised as a wise and benevolent monarch of the generation of reviving Jingtai, Shangcisheng Temple, and following the fierceness of Yingmiao. Can he feel that his mind is running wild and the government is sluggish
Cui Xie chuckled lightly, turned his pen, and first explained what the "four essentials" in the question were.
In the past, Song Confucianism's virtuous show "Yanyi of the Great Learning" showed the way of emperors, and specifically listed the four most urgently needed elements in government: the ability to understand things and gain knowledge must be in understanding Taoism, distinguishing talents, judging the style of governance, and observing people's feelings; sincerity and sincerity must lie in Reverence and abstinence from desires; self-cultivation lies in being prudent in words and deeds, upright and dignified; in order to maintain a family, re-matching, strict internal governance, setting the foundation of the country, and teaching relatives are the main points.
In Daxue Yanyi, it is only written about self-cultivation and balancing the family, but not about governing the country and the world. It is because the four essentials mentioned above are written everywhere.
In the "Hongwu Shengzheng Ji" at the beginning of the country, it contains Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of governing the country, which corresponds to the four essentials of seeking knowledge, sincerity and integrity, self-cultivation, and keeping the family in order. Just come out.
Only when it comes to the "Qi's family", it is no longer about the emperor's virtuous politics, but about Hongwu's queen, harem, and national capital. The foundation of the royal family of Qi is to choose a good family son as a concubine, strict internal governance, and teach foreign relatives.
Fourth, only those who have to be prepared in one body can achieve the success of mixing the Chinese and the barbarians, and extend the boundless celebration of the world.
Emperor Taizu was able to govern the country and bring peace to the world because of his study of the "Xiaoxueyanyi". Today, he should follow the example of Naizu and publish this book on the right side of the seat. He will study this sacred classic every day with all his heart, so as to keep it successful and prosperous.
The university is the essential code of the emperor's transmission of the heart, and Yanyi is the rhythm of the king of the world. Therefore, among them, seeking knowledge, sincerity, self-cultivation, and family are all urgently needed!
Very good, all four options have been selected, and this multiple-choice answer is quite satisfactory! Cui Xie quietly applauded himself under the table, and added a cliché of "I do what I want to offer" after the last sentence.
The word "Xian" should be written on a new line at the top, because the object of "Xian" is the supreme emperor. Fortunately, this policy question only needs to write about the two emperors, Taizu and Jinshang, and there are not many line breaks. To catch up with those who have one "huangkao" for a while, "Taizu" for a while, and "now" for a while, policy questions are also It can be written like a presentation table, full of lengths and shorts, high and low, like a dog's gnawing.
The strategy for governance and transformation has been written smoothly, and it is the strategy of the classics. This article is about the study of nature and rationality; the third article is to ask scholars of historians how to learn the essence of the sage’s transmission from the annals of history. In fact, they all dig deep into four books righteous topic.
The fourth chapter, Current Affairs Policy, asks how scholars, gentlemen, and officials should give advice. Cui Xie also has a special right to speak on this topic. His teacher and two censors have just offended the emperor because of their remonstrance.
The reason why the teacher and the others angered the emperor as soon as they made remarks was because their remarks were too provocative and sharp; and the remonstrance was too sharp, and because today the son closed his eyes and listened to the remonstrance, everyone who entered the remonstrance took measures not to look at it, not to criticize it, or to criticize it. Regardless of the three non-principles, those who are too anxious to be courtiers have no way to be gentle and satirical, and can only use the most "exciting and dangerous" words to move the emperor's heart.
Of course, there is no good result after moving.
This is simply a lose-lose road, so direct remonstrance is not advisable; but the official of the state's maintenance of science, not to punish crimes with words, is to be willing to remonstrate for the country's loyalty, fear of alienation from the emperor, and condemnation, but not to remonstrate after seeing things. It is not advisable; the best way to give advice is to put it in a compliment.
But the strength of the irony is too gentle, and it is difficult to express its meaning. At this time, it is not only the courtiers who should be loyal to the advice, but more importantly, the emperor should open up his words and accept the advice humbly. Only in this way can the monarch and his ministers be harmonious, and the monarch and his ministers will be able to improve their hearts and minds, and will not force the righteous gentleman to use excessive words.
He even dared to sneer at the most important Babies. When he wrote about the questions, he didn't have to be afraid. He started the article by writing: "The minister takes good advice as loyalty, and the ruler takes obedience to advice as holy." It is the virtue of being a king!
In the fourth question, he wrote extremely smoothly, the words rushed out of his chest, and he completed this article almost without a single point. And the water conservancy in the fifth part is his forte. He dug into the news in his memory, dredging the river, saving the famine, and preserving the soil and water... Several items were listed together, and they were listed in an orderly manner. From water control to people, Zeng Qin The officials who have been in charge of Hebian County and the government for many years are not as high as his theoretical level.
If nothing else, he has seen Pan Jixun's Shuhe sand flushing technique in many TV series. Although he didn't know how to do it in practice, he was able to write down the principle of "dredging and treating silt".
It's a pity that no one will use the things on this test paper for practical application. When Mr. Li becomes the first assistant, he can apply for flood control, and let the method of "shushing the sand" appear in Daming in advance, so as to reduce the flooding of the Huang and Huai Rivers, or it can also save the local people from having to spend a few years. Escape the famine, live a richer life, and ease social conflicts.
He slowly put down his pen, picked up the draft and checked it from the beginning.
There are also five or seven hundred words in the five essays, but because they are not as rigid as the regular format, and the requirements for contrasting even sentences are so high, they are much smoother to write.
He finished writing the five articles, and the sky was still bright. He checked and copied them. Before the end of the application process, he had already copied all five articles neatly onto the paper, and when the supervisor came to inspect the completion of the volume, he took advantage of the situation. Get up and file.
At this time, the gantry was wide open, and most of the finished writing was delayed until this time to hand in the papers, and the unfinished ones were forcibly helped out. Longmen is crowded with people, people are crowded, and it is impossible to tell who is a familiar classmate, and where is the family who came to pick him up, a square scarf and blue shirt are crowded at the door, as if copied and pasted in PS of.
Cui Xie didn't even look at the people around him, he just raised his eyes and looked out to see if anyone was waiting for him in the familiar shop across the street. He was wearing high-heeled shoes, and now he was taller, and he could see far and high. He raised his head and looked out from the gap between the crowded handkerchiefs. At a glance, he saw Xie Ying, who was riding on a horse from the direction of the palace.
He didn't care if anyone from the Cui family came to pick him up, and struggled to squeeze across the street. There were people close to each other on all sides, and the test basket in his hand was almost crowded. Many people were pushed out by him from a distance without knowing anything. When they came back to their senses, they looked for the person who pushed them, but found that the person was long gone, and there were only a group of people who were also pushed away blankly, and then outside. Crowd crowded candidates back to the center.
Cui Xie finally walked to Xie Ying's horse, but he could only raise his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "I've finished the exam."
Xie Ying turned over from the horse, looked at him and said, "I know. It's been hard for you these days."
Not hard... just miss you a little. Cui Xie looked at him with a basket and wanted to ask him when he could go out on a date, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear that he was thin-skinned, so he was embarrassed to hear this in public.
Xie Ying and him stood in the crowd with their horses and baskets, and looked at each other in silence. However, because the sky was not very bright, the candidates around were busy talking to the right questions, or looking for people to pick them up, but no one paid attention to them.
Cui Xie was brave enough to make an invitation at dusk, but Xie Ying suddenly probed him, got very close, and said in a low voice, "I've been waiting for you for a long time to finish this test. "
Cui Xie's heart skipped a few beats, and he threw the exam basket that was in the way back, got close to the horse, pressed it against his body, and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, but you promised. Me, no matter if I fail the exam..."
Xie Ying chuckled lightly: "It's really young and energetic."
Not only is he young and energetic, but he has also finished the exam and started to let himself go! As soon as Cui Xie turned over and rode on his horse, he glanced down at him, and smiled lightly: "Brother Xie is willing to come pick me up, isn't it just tacit approval of my anger?"
Xie Ying touched the horse's head, looked up at him, shook his head and smiled and said, "Today your family is coming to pick you up, I'll take you home first, and I'll talk about it after your fellow villagers and friends have finished discussing the topic."
His eyesight was excellent, and from a distance he saw Cui Xie's little white horse being led by his family and slowly squeezed here along the flow of people. The little white horse also saw them, and when he saw his master riding another horse, his big wet eyes could not help revealing a bit of grievance, he stepped on his hoofs and snorted.
The family who came to pick him up photographed the little white horse twice. Seeing that it was always looking up at the other side of the street, he couldn't help but follow him, and saw Cui Xie riding on a sorrel horse with a somewhat indescribable look. look at him.
Not happy anyway.
Did you fail the exam
The family didn't dare to speak, they pushed the horse over, and when they saw Xie Ying holding the horse, they were excited, but they were afraid that they would call out too many fans of drama and books who like Xie Zhenfu, so they quickly covered their mouths. He whispered "Mr. Xie" and asked Cui Xie how to ride someone's horse and if there was any arrangement.
Cui Xie wanted to make arrangements, but Xie Ying said first: "There are too many people at this time, and Brother Cui Xian is afraid that you will not be able to find him. It happened that I came here to buy snacks, so he borrowed my horse and sat higher to find you. ."
The family quickly apologized, and thanked Lord Xie for borrowing the horse on behalf of the owner.
Cui Xie was still reluctant to get off the horse, he pressed his saddle and said with a smile, "It's fortunate that I met Brother Xie today, so that the younger brother and the servants would not be separated from the crowd. It just so happened that Brother Xie was busy with official business after his promotion, and the younger brother never congratulated him, so he chose a day. Why don't you hit the sun, brother is willing to be the host, how about you go to the Chengdong Deyi Building and invite Brother Xie for a table of wine?"
Xie Ying shook his head slightly: "Brother Xian sat in the small examination shed in Gongyuan for a day, I was afraid that my body was freezing, and it was time to go home and drink some hot soup and wine to nourish my body, how could I still run outside? ?"
As he spoke, he looked at Cui Xie's face, and when he saw him looking at him pitifully, he twitched his lips and pretended to sigh, "If I agree, I'm afraid you won't go home, and the family will be worried; If you don’t agree, I’m afraid that you will miss your child. Why don’t you just take me home and have a drink to congratulate you scholars on the happy bar after the exams?”
Cui Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth pursed tightly, although he refused to laugh, his spirit changed suddenly. Xie Ying didn't force him to change horses, but said to the family, "You sons have been waiting for you for so long, I'm afraid you'll freeze and get off the horse. Hand him your clothes and I'll ride his horse over there."
Cui Xie took off his purse and threw it to his family, and also ordered: "Master Xie still wants to buy some snacks, don't delay his business for us. I will lead him back to the customer first, and you can go into the store and pick up some good snacks. Bring back a few pounds."
The author has something to say: The first question is Zhang Huai, and the fourth question is Zhang Qiao. The above are actually the questions for the rural exam, not for the exam... ( _ _)ノ｜
