The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 2 The Strongest King of Gongyuan

Done!Done!
Fake alcohol harms people!

Just say that the person who sold the wine had a strange look in his eyes, and told me that this is pure grain wine. It seems that it is not only blended wine, but also industrial methanol, right?Otherwise, with my ability to not get drunk after a thousand cups, let alone half a catty of liquor, I would have done it with two or three catties, and I would still watch the sunrise early in the morning.

Who put a tablet in my head?

The decadent life of luxury and money, friends and friends drinking and drinking, and the girl next to her laughing at Yan Yan with a jug is very beautiful, this ancient costume... tsk tsk, the small figure is quite impressive.

Wait, these are the memories of the original owner of the body, right?What's going on with this family of bare four walls?Who are these two women?Call me husband, master?Who are those two little ones staring at me with big eyes?
These two little guys are quite similar to my childhood photos.

"Husband, there is no rice at home again."

"Master, you must not sell me, I gave birth to a daughter for the master..."

"Father, can you give us some credit? I'm already at the age of Kaimeng, can you find me a husband?"

What's all this mess?

The dandy young man's family has fallen?The family is so poor that there are only four walls, but there are still a wife, a concubine, a child and a daughter. Five people have to support them?

With this thin body, can it do it?

"Dingtouer, it seems that this kid's eyes are not right, can he be holding back something bad?"

"Even if he has diarrhea, force him to stuff it back! There is still an hour before the first round will be sealed, so keep an eye on it, I will go out to make a round."

"What if he bangs his head against the wall?"

"Knock him out, throw him out after the first round, and let him die outside the tribute courtyard!"

……

this conversation...

Destroy humanity!
If I die outside the Gongyuan, the two of you can get away with it, right?
Zhang Zhou finally thought about taking a good look at the test paper in front of him.

It turned out that I was taking an exam.

The first question: "Zigong said: I don't want others to do it to me, and I also want nothing to do it to others. Zi said: It is beyond your reach."

The second question: "Mencius said: The three generations who gained the world were benevolent, and those who lost the world were inhumane. The same is true for the country's ruin and prosperity."

The third question: "It is said that those who rule the country in a peaceful world, are old and the people are filial; What is evil to the bottom, do not make things superior; what is evil to the front, do not follow the sequence; Don't hand it over to the right: this is called the way of cleanliness."

In the imperial examination, there is no punctuation mark for sentence segmentation, and it is densely packed with words.

Zhang Zhou suddenly thought of why he came here, as if... the garbled audience asked him to experience the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty?

This is the examination question of the four books.

I drank a lot of wine and gave a live lecture, isn't it the Ming Dynasty imperial examination?This is for me to learn and use?
Hey, I'm just talking casually.

Ugh!
The first question is "The Analects of Confucius", the second question is "Mencius", and the third question is "University". In the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, the importance of the first four-book essay is needless to say. The decisive exam questions, the first of the three exams is the most obvious, especially in the rural exams in various places.

Zhang Zhou's heart suddenly became excited.

Does that mean that after I finish these three questions, a white light will send me home?

……

……

Life suddenly seemed to have found its purpose, and it was time to go back to the Ming Dynasty to take the imperial examination.

Zhang Zhou felt a little familiar with these three questions, and vaguely remembered where he had seen them before.

Isn't this the test question for the Tianfu Township Examination in the 11th year of Hongzhi?

Zhang Zhou almost jumped up.

Hongzhi 11 years?Is it the year when Tang Yin, the leader of the provincial examination, won the Jieyuan of the Jiangnan provincial examination?
The information about my identity in my mind also became clear...

Zhang Zhou, whose style name is Bingkuan, was born in Nanjing City of Yingtianfu. He was 24 years old. He was a tribute student of Nanjing Guozijian. He participated in the county examination in his early years and failed the ranking.

The students of the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty are eligible to participate in the general examination, but it is limited to ordinary tribute students who have passed the general examination and the general examination.

In the records of the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, there are many people who passed the imperial examinations as tribute students, and those like Zhang Zhou who entered the Imperial College through connections, dropped out of school halfway and did not take the final examination, let alone taking the examination and release. Officer, it is not bad to be eligible to take the provincial examination.

The first round of the township examination is a three-day exam, and there is still an hour before the paper is handed in...

The dandy young man's family is in decline, and the five members of his family are desperately waiting to be fed... Just a Ligong who didn't even pass the county test, still wants to rely on this to change his fate?

No wonder he couldn't think about it, and hanged himself on the dung number going to the Gongyuan.

Zhang Zhou really wanted to say.

Brother, you did the right thing. If I were you, I would also choose to hang my neck.

But I left after taking the imperial examination, whether you are dead or alive, the mess left in your family has nothing to do with me!

……

……

To complete the three-day exam in one hour, the pressure is enough to defy the sky.

But for Zhang Zhou, he had to honor the awesomeness he boasted in front of the audience, otherwise Bai Guang wouldn't come, and he might become an aboriginal in Daming.

Although Daming is good, the information age is its home field.

Not surfing the Internet for a day makes me uncomfortable.

Who cares about suffering in the feudal and backward Ming Dynasty?

Fortunately, in addition to Zhang Zhou's own knowledge reserve, there is also a little accumulation of the original owner's 20 years of study. This is to rely on the memory of two people to work together to complete this exam.

The first question, Zigong said, I don’t want others to impose unreasonable things on me, and I don’t want to impose unreasonable things on others.Then Confucius said, Duanmuci, are you dreaming?This is not within your competence.

It talks about not doing to others what you don't want to do to yourself, which is the benevolence and forgiveness advocated by Confucianism.

The second question, Mencius said that the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties gained the world because of benevolence, and they lost the world because of lack of benevolence.Nations rise and fall, life and death.

This also talks about benevolence, but compared with the small benevolence in the first question, what is talked about here is the way of benevolence in governing the country, which is for great benevolence.

The third question talks about the "way of decency" that treats oneself and others, and forgives oneself and others. Promoted to Dashu.

The three questions can be said to complement each other, and the neatness of the questions is obviously at the Hanlin level.

Zhang Zhou has a lot of knowledge in his head.

In the 11th year of Hongzhi, the main examiners of the Wuwu Division Yingtianfu Township Examination were Wang Jia, who was the prince Xianma at that time, and Liu Ji, who was the imperial servant at that time.

In the Ming Dynasty rural examination, before the seventh year of Jiajing, there were only "Beiwei" and "Nanwei". A person who is a minister of the Ministry of Officials is naturally not low in talent and learning ability. This avoids the situation where a good article is written but the examiner is mediocre and cannot score a high score.

Now that Zhang Zhou knows who the chief examiner is for this session.

When writing an article, it is necessary to cater to the examiner's preferences.

Zhang Zhou is more familiar with Wang Jia. In his later years, he advocated "good nature" and emphasized ancient literature, but he also advocated "learning from his meaning but not from his words", and he treated the style of writing very broadly. , Focus on observing the sufferings of the people.

Liu Ji, on the other hand, emphasizes "lenient things" and stresses calmness and mentality.

Zhang Zhou thought, if you give me a day or two to study it carefully, I won’t write this article for you?
But write three articles in one hour now?
Zhang Zhou picked up the pen and was about to write the gorgeous words and sentences that he had painstakingly brewed on the draft paper.

Suddenly realized that time is running out.

I didn't even have time to make a draft, so I had to rush the ducks to the shelves and write on the paper.

……

……

"Dingtouer, are you back?"

"How is it? This kid... um? How did you start writing?"

"I don't know either, he seems to be enlightened!"

"Be careful, in case this kid breaks the barrel of the pen and stabs his own neck."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhou suddenly found that he raised his head and looked at them.

The two were about to go up to grab the pen, Zhang Zhou put the pen aside: "You two, thank you for your concern, I'm done!"

"You melon with a turd hanging around your neck, how about calling you a turtle bastard? Others worked hard to write for three days, but you finished it in less than an hour?"

"No way, the pen is so fast. If I knew it earlier, I should have made a draft. Many words and sentences have not been carefully considered, and they are not perfect enough."

"Pooh!"

After Zhang Zhou finished speaking, he closed his eyes and opened his arms, ready to receive the baptism of white light.

There was no movement for a long time, but the soldier from before slapped the table, dipped a big brush in the paste and wiped the paper: "It's sealed! The body backed away, and the ink was spilled on the paper. It deserves it!"

Zhang Zhou looked confused.

what's the situation?
I have finished answering the papers, why don't you take me back?

hiss.

Although the four-book essay in the first round of the township exam is very important, if the purpose of this trip is to take the exam, does that mean... I have to take two more exams before I can leave?
