Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 291 Preparing for the Exam
Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong went to Zhu Tuo's residence as usual, tidied up their rooms, and started today's course.

However, they soon discovered that there was a stack of manuscript paper on the table.

The two took a look, and there was a question on each page, and at the bottom of the question was the key point of the solution. Judging from the slightly green font, it was obvious that it was their master. Written by Zhu Tuo.

The two of them couldn't help but be startled, and their hearts were filled with gratitude.

"Is this the question that the master gave us? Yang Rong said in astonishment.

It's an indescribable feeling.

Boom boom boom!
Shi Jingtong nodded decisively and said with emotion: "Yesterday, the master asked us specifically about our current situation, and even comforted us a few words, asking us to have a good rest and not be too tired. However, he has high hopes for us, and even gave us money personally. Asked a question."

"Yes!" someone echoed.

Yang Rongshen nodded with approval and sighed: "Look at these words, they are rubbed and wiped, wiped and wiped again. The teacher has revised them countless times. If we can't get good grades, what will happen to us? Confess to him?"

Shi Jingtong's face darkened, he pointed at the piece of paper and said, "Not only that, look at that piece of paper, there is saliva on it. He must have stayed up all night, so I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"

"But why did master leave so early this morning without saying a word to us?"

Shi Jingtong thought for a while and came up with a reasonable explanation: "I think he is afraid that the two of us will have trouble getting along with each other. Hey, the two of us study hard every day. Master seems not to care, but in fact he cares most about us. of."

"I understand!"

Yang Rong looked serious, spread out the rice paper in his hand, and said, "Do you see what question Master asked?"

Originally, in their opinion, Zhu Tuo's problem could only be regarded as average, because Zhu Tuo's problem was too simple.

Everyone saw it, and although he couldn't be said to be well-read, he definitely didn't know anything.

"This
"This……"

"This this……"

The two were shocked, and carefully read every question written by Zhu Tuo, then rubbed their eyes fiercely, and collapsed on the ground, unable to believe it.

Both of them are smart people, well-informed people, and they can tell at a glance that the question raised by Zhu Tuo is the most difficult question.

Especially the solution methods given by Zhu Tuo are simply enlightening. As long as you follow his method, you can definitely write a high-quality eight-legged essay.

Yang Rong took a deep breath, with tears on his face. The rice paper in his hand was heavy, heavy.

With Master’s knowledge, I don’t know how many brain cells and energy it took to come up with such a question.

"Brother Shi, I have to think about it carefully before I can disappoint him."

Shi Jingtong was a little surprised and reminded: "Brother Yang, the questions in the examination have never been fixed. Isn't it too extreme for you to just answer the questions like this? If the exam is not like this, then our efforts will be in vain."

"so what?"

Yang Rongsi remained calm and said categorically: "I'm still young. If I don't make it this time, it will take three years at most. But if I let myself live up to Master's hard work,

Isn't this just a wolf in human skin? "

Shi Jingtong pondered and nodded, and said: "In this case, I will think about it with Brother Yang. If we can win, our ancestors will be considered blessed. If not, forget it."

"Should be!"

The two of them returned to their study room, threw aside a series of scriptures such as "The Book of Rites" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", and read them with gusto.

Then, he spread Zhu Tuo's questions on the table and read them one by one.In today's examinations, a sentence is usually excerpted from the Four Books and Five Classics, slightly modified, and then used as a test question.

For example, in Zhu Tuo's several questions, the first question is: "A man should be like this." The second question is to make everything fair.The third question is: "The way of a great scholar lies in virtue, in benevolence, in benevolence, in benevolence."

The two sat at the table, laid out the white paper, and then began to answer questions.

They spent a whole afternoon thinking hard and writing a decent eight-legged essay. Then they proofread each other and made some suggestions, and finally fell asleep.

The next day, the two of them got up early and washed their faces with cold water, feeling refreshed.

Before breakfast, the two sat down in the pavilion, exchanging their views, and trying to complete the stereotyped essays on Zhu Tuo's questions and some of Zhu Tuo's opinions.

After breakfast, Feng Yu and Feng Yu immersed themselves in writing eight-legged essays.

According to a handsome guy passing by, the stories on the Internet are all made up and done as one pleases.

Eight-part essay, word for word, is very mentally demanding.

It took him a whole morning, and after lunch, he hurried back to his room, forced himself to sit down, and fell into deep thought again.

In the evening, the two of them finally finished writing two papers. After a day of intense work, both of them felt dizzy.

"Brother Yang, I'm afraid I can't study anymore. I'll have a rest after dinner."

Yang Rong looked dignified, and shouted sharply: "Reading is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. What do you mean? Master is so worried about us, and we still have to slack off. Are we still human?"

Shi Jingtong shivered, and managed to regain his composure, "Yes, what Brother Yang said is absolutely true!"

The two of them returned to the study room with tired faces. They finished the eight-legged essay again, wiped their eyes vigorously, and looked at it several times. Only then did they see a big character in a gap.

so tired!
A topic emerged in the minds of the two of them involuntarily, one topic after another, one after another, and suddenly, their minds seemed to explode.But when they thought of Zhu Tuo, the two of them used great perseverance to stay up until the middle of the night before finishing the eight-part essay.

In the next few days, it was still the same, still the same, still the same.

There is regular work every day.

Do a question morning, afternoon and evening.Early in the morning, the two began to discuss.

Both of them were very nervous. When they saw Zhu Tuo's topic, they had the urge to vomit.

Eight-part essay appeared in the Ming Dynasty, just over 20 years ago, so there is not much research on it.

Zhu Tuo's solution is still advanced compared to now.

In addition, Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong have a solid foundation and a deep understanding of various classics.He was rushing to take the exam, and when he saw these problems, countless solutions immediately came to his mind.

"Hey, it would be great if this essay test was really asked by the teacher." Shi Jingtong sighed.

"Master is not an immortal, so he has no ability to predict the future." Yang Rong smiled heartily and said with relief: "If it doesn't succeed, it's nothing, and Master won't blame him."

"Yes, I'm worried I'll disappoint you."

"What I want is life, and what I want is justice. Since you can't take care of both, then give up justice and gain a life."

Zhu Tuo sat down next to Yao Guangxiao, looking distressed and said, "Dao Yan, fortunately I arrived in time, otherwise you would really have to go to the Western world to see Tathagata. Oh, no, you are a Taoist priest, why don't you You have to see the gods."
