Chapter 42 Another Fate (for further reading)

The three looked at each other and smiled, thinking that Huaiyuan Inn would do business.

Seeing that it was dark outside, Chen Jian'an first asked the price of the lantern out of joy, and when he learned that the price of the lantern was not much higher than the outside world,

He bought three red lanterns, gave two to his classmates and kept one for himself.

Then...,
The three of them left the Huaiyuan Inn with lanterns.

"Have the candidates from Chang'an County come?"

As soon as he reached the gate of the government office, Xu Xing heard a loud yamen servant shouting.

"Have!"

Li Mingda yelled in a hurry, then stuffed the lantern into Xu Xing's hand, and stepped up to the line of candidates in Chang'an County.

The prefectural examination is conducted by candidates who have passed the county examination in the counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Before entering the examination room, the yamen servants will allow candidates to enter in batches according to the county of household registration.And Chang'an County, Xianning County and other counties are the counties closest to the provincial capital under the Jingzhao Mansion.

Therefore, candidates from Chang'an County and Xianning County were the first batch of people to enter the examination room.

Li Mingda is from Chang'an County.

"In Jingyang County..."

"Hurry up!"

After a while, another yamen servant shouted.

Xu Xing entered the list of candidates in Jingyang County.

It is slightly different from the county examination. When it comes to the government examination and the hospital examination, there will be a hall number.

The number of seats in the hall is that the top ten in each county's county examination will take the exam in the court where the prefect sits, and the prefect and other senior officials will personally invigilate the exam.

If one gets caught in the eyes of the examiner during the exam, it is common to be recruited in public in the government exam.

Xu Xing didn't have such a good life, he was No. 14 in the county examination, and he didn't get the treatment of being a hall number.After going through the procedures of the clerk and the interviewer, he was taken to a corner of the examination room by the clerk and sat for the examination.

After a while, the yamen servants held up their lanterns and paraded back and forth.

[Title of the Four Books:]

[King Hui of Liang said: "Jin, there is nothing strong in the world, but there is a way to make friends with neighboring countries." ? ']

Answer questions.

Both sentences come from the article of King Hui of Liang in Mencius.

Seeing this test question, Xu Xing was immediately glad to himself, thankful that he had informed Xiaoyitang early, let them run errands, and helped him obtain the information of Yin Fuzun.

The government test is the same as the county test, and the first test is the main test.

In the main test, the first question is the most important.

This cut-off question is not difficult, and it is not difficult to write a broken question.But the difficulty is that the written questions are just in line with the examiner's political inclination, and let it be rated as the top paper.

King Hui of Liang said in the first sentence, the full text is: "King Hui of Liang said: 'In the state of Jin, there is nothing strong in the world, as the old man knows. As for the widow, he was defeated by Qi in the east, the eldest son died, and Qin died in the west. For more than seven hundred miles, the south was humiliated by Chu. I would like to sprinkle it with the dead, so what can I do?'”

The source of the second sentence is that King Xuan of Qi asked Mencius, "Is there a way to make friends with neighboring countries?"

"Time..."

"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Kang Liang wrote a letter to reform the law..."

"The imperial court affects the locality."

"Yin Fuzun..."

Xu Xing didn't rush to write, but first thought about the government's intention to try out this question.

In the imperial examination, it is by no means that a strong literary talent can get a title on the gold list.Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for poets and poets with good literary talents to fail the rankings.The reason why they failed the rankings was not because they didn't have the talent to win the exams, but because they didn't know the deep meaning of the test papers, so they failed the rankings sadly.

"In the 15th year of Guangxu, Yin Fuzun wrote a letter denouncing Westernization for disrupting the country and destroying the governing machine."

"The 18th year of Guangxu..."

Xu Xing recalled the information about Yin Fuzun.

Every sentence seems to be against the Westernization faction.

"No, no..."

He quickly overturned his idea.

The Westernization School is not equal to the Reformation School. The reason why Yin Fuzun criticized Westernization is probably not because of Westernization, but because most of the Westernization Schools are southern officials...

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, most of the southern provinces were autonomous and separatist.

The Qing court could only collect taxes.

Local officials in the north are opposed to Westernization, which is a correct rule of law, not really anti-Westernization.

According to the information, Yin Fuzun has a good relationship with Fang Yun, Governor of Qin Province.However, the reformers did not hold real power, but relied on the emperor's power to carry out reform movements, so...

It's time to write about reform!

Xu Xing took a deep breath, he immediately pondered, and wrote: "The sage passed on the knowledge of the former kings, sent troops to Lu, and developed the virtues of Duke Zhou. Although Qi is great, Duke Jing can't sleep peacefully."

He still continued his steady routine in solving the problem.

Not aggressive.

The meaning of this sentence is: Confucius inherited the knowledge of the previous kings, saved the crisis-ridden state of Lu from military disasters, and carried forward the virtues of Duke Zhou in Lu.

However, after elucidating this sentence, Xu Xing changed his style of writing again and mentioned the sentence "Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed" by Xiaoya in "The Book of Songs".

This sentence means...the learning of the former kings carried forward by Confucius also has the meaning of reform.

History is a little girl who can be dressed up.

So is Confucianism.

Whatever you want, just take words from the words of the sages.

In short, Xu Xing's core idea is to perform small-scale "surgery" on the basis of advocating ancient times.

In this way, it seems that this young man is not lifeless and has the will to reform, but in the process of reform, he is more cautious and does not act indiscriminately.

Know how to advance and retreat clearly!

After writing a four-book title.

The next few questions on the Five Classics and policy topics are not so "crisis-ridden".

Xu Xing has a good foundation, so he answered them one by one.

……

In the evening, I left the dragon gate of the test shed.

Xu Xing was waiting at the door for Chen Jian'an and Li Mingda, two students living in the same house.

Not long after, Chen Jian'an walked out of the examination room with a sullen expression on his face. He said as he walked, "This Yin Fuzun is uneasy and kind, what kind of questions did he ask..."

"How did you solve the problem?"

Xu Xing asked casually.

The two of them are roommates, so there is no need to be too taboo about asking questions.

"I didn't dare to answer, for fear of accidents."

"Anyway, I have no hope of being selected in the college entrance examination this year."

Chen Jianan shook his head, he had a very clear understanding of himself.

He couldn't control Yin Fuzun's intentions for the four-book questions written by Yin Fuzun, and he was afraid that there would be a literary prison for writing indiscriminately, so he didn't dare to answer.

Literary inquisitions occurred frequently in the Qing Dynasty, and the most famous case was the "Wei Min Suo Zhi" case.

Weimin, Zha Siting in the fourth year of Yongzheng served as the chief examiner in Jiangxi, and the test questions used the sentence "Weimin stopped" in the "Book of Songs", so some people thought that he had ulterior motives and intended to cut off Yongzheng's head.

"Yongzheng" removes the head, which is the word "Weizhi".

"Where's Brother Mingda?"

"He hasn't left the examination room yet?"

Chen Jian'an looked around and asked curiously.

While speaking, Li Mingda left the examination room under the coercion of the crowd.It's just that his complexion was a little abnormally rosy, and he was a little out of breath when he walked to the side of the two classmates.

"I lost half my life, why bother?"

Chen Jian'an shook his head, sighed, and helped Li Mingda with Xu Xing.

……

Three days later.

The government tried to release the list.

Unexpectedly, in this exam, Xu Xing ranked first.

For the government case first.

At the same time, Xu Xing's white fate [Wenchang] was also promoted to red fate.And he condensed a fate that surprised him [Renewal].

 I don’t know if you like to watch the drama of the Republic of China?

  If I don't like it, I write less, and if I like it, I write more.The main reason is that I watched the plot of the copy of the Republic of China, and there were very few commentators...
