Chapter 189 Five Years of Imperial Examination and Three Years of Simulation
“Hey, what kind of book is this? It’s so powerful! But does it have something to do with Mr. Cui’s mysterious treasure?!”
“It definitely is! Yes! Mr. Cui, with the support of the mysterious treasure and the wisest man of Zhou Dynasty, after reading this book, don’t say It’s more than enough to take the imperial examination or become a minister in the imperial court!”
“Mrs. Yongchang Hou is such a spoiled child. She will try her best to make this bet possible! ”
The lobby was noisy, and the tea guests were talking about it.
What exactly is this book about?
Will it contain the philosophy of governance contained in the treasure?
After Su Dalang is admitted to the top exam, will Mrs. Yongchang Hou make this book public?
In an inconspicuous corner, Aginai lowered his eyes, thoughtfully.
Adhering to the idea of knowing yourself and the enemy, and being able to fight a hundred battles without danger, Akinai decided to go deep into Kyoto to find out what kind of person Gu Nanxi, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, was?
After all, when the news reaches the border, it has to go through many hands. It is far less true than what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears in Kyoto.
No, Huangtian paid off. On his first day in Kyoto, he heard such big news!
"Second Prince...Second Young Master, do we want to strengthen the security of the Sixteen Prefectures?" Akinai's men asked gently.
This is Gu Nanxi, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, who is a capable person in uprooting the prince's influence in Beijing!
"No need. As for Yongchenghou, that loser, he is able to guard the border because of the dedicated efforts of the deputy general and others. His desire to take back the Sixteen Provinces is nothing more than an idiot's dream! As for Gu Nanxi, as a prostitute, How to control troops? ”
Men: "Should we contact that adult?"
Asinai shook his head. Without the handwritten letter from his father, the adult would not do anything more. Why bother to humiliate yourself?
Compared with that adult, Akinai is more interested in the mysterious treasures mentioned by the people of Kyoto!
So Aginai quietly inquired about the mysterious treasure.
This process went much smoother than he imagined, because regarding the ownership of the treasure, Dazhou also specially conducted an academy assessment, which caused a lot of fuss.
Although there are various speculations as to what the mysterious treasure is, Aginai has the same idea as the Emperor of Zhou, thinking that this must be a plan for governing the country!
Then, the book written by Gu Nanxi, the Marquis of Yongchang’s wife, based on the economic strategy and went into seclusion, can definitely get a glimpse of the country’s governance strategy!
Aginai made a decision silently in his heart.
The appetite of the people of Kyoto has been greatly aroused, and so have the students of Baichuan Academy.
In Baichuan Academy, sworn brothers and sworn brothers gathered together.
Li Mingde gave a thumbs up to Su Xuanming: "As expected of the eldest brother! He has great ambitions! I believe that the eldest brother will definitely succeed. If you book the number one scholar, then I will book a Jinshi."
Chen Yixuan diligently gave Su Xuanming Serving tea and water, he smiled and said: "My demands are not as good as those of my brothers. As long as I win the election, my family will be thankful! This is called Guangzong Yaozu." !"
Jiang Guanghai looked at the brothers with a smile: "With Godmother taking action, your goals can be set higher!"
"What book have you prepared? Has anyone seen it?”
“I don’t know, but my godmother came to the academy today and was discussing something with Mr. Cui.”
Everyone looked at each other curiously and decided to eavesdrop.
In the tea room, Cui Sanlun watched Gu Nanxi pull out a palm-thick book from the box with an eager look on his face, his eyes nearly popping out of his sockets.
"Xiao Nanxi, what kind of book is this? Did you write it all by yourself?"
Dear me, this is so efficient!
If it were me, I would probably have spent ten years writing such a thick book. It’s just a retreat, it’s not like living in heaven and on earth for ten years!
Gu Nanxi pursed her lips and chuckled. Of course, she couldn't have written this. She was trying to trick the system!
Cui Sanlun took the book. The weight was indeed beyond his expectation, and he almost didn't drop the book to the ground.
He looked intently at the cover, which clearly read "Five Years of Imperial Examination and Three Years of Simulation".
Cui Sanlun turned to the first page. Above is the table of contents of the book, which includes real questions at all levels of the college examination, provincial examination, general examination, palace examination, and even the examiner's analysis!
"It's impossible. How could anyone put so much effort into counting this?"
Behind each real question, there are not only examples, but also the examiner's analysis, and Gu Nanxi's experience.
It’s just that this feeling really makes people feel all kinds of things in their hearts.
Because it does not start from the knowledge itself, but analyzes why the examiner asked this question. This question should start from how it should be done. It is all skills.
"Xiao Nanxi, you are just taking a shortcut." Cui Sanlun was embarrassed to say, isn't this just taking a shortcut?
Gu Nanxi: "Don't worry about black cats and white cats. Any cat that can catch mice is a good cat. What they lack is not knowledge, but skills."
Gu Nanxi originally thought that she was just a scholar. As long as you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, isn't it a matter of grasping it at your fingertips?
It wasn’t until I read through the three or five numbers provided by the system that I realized how wrong I was.
You really can’t blame Su Xuanming for not being admitted as a scholar.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial examination was held once a year. There were five rural examinations in total. The examination contents were four books, one text, one scripture, and one five-character and six-rhyme rhythmic poem.
Suppose the content of the exam question is [white hair floats on green water, and anthurium stirs clear waves].
Gu Nanxi thought the test question was to write this poem silently.
In fact, the question in the rural examination paper is: So-and-so once wrote in a poem that white hair floats on green water, and anthurium stirs clear waves. Please write a 3,000-word article on the topic "White swans can be raised only on green water", discussing the relationship between local culture and cultivating talents. The handwriting should be neat and the arguments should be clear. The sentences in the article should rhyme.
So the difficulty of this test question really made Gu Nanxi sweat.
Especially in Kyoto, there are so many talented people who are already making a difference in the world. If the scholars from other provinces come to Kyoto, they may not be able to pass the exam.
It's no wonder that Su Xuanming knew the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, but when it came to the exam, his claws became numb.
What he clearly lacks is exam skills!
Cui Sanlun felt that this was wrong: "If you take shortcuts to enter the officialdom, it is not the way to study."
Gu Nanxi: "Learn literary and martial arts and sell goods to the emperor's family. But in ordinary life Anyone who wants to take the imperial examination will want to gain fame and leave a place in the officialdom. Get a foothold and develop your ambitions! But if you don’t even have the ticket to enter the officialdom, how can you express your ambitions?”
“After entering the officialdom, you can still learn the art of scholarship. Well, if you don’t enter the officialdom, it will be in vain.”
Cui Sanlun, as a person with an official status, naturally understands how important it is to wear a layer of official clothes!
There are thousands of students all over the world, but only a few hundred people can finally squeeze onto this single-plank bridge.
“That’s all, I can’t defeat you. But I only have this book, who should I give it to?”
