Chapter 24 Gatekeepers and Poor Gates!
Not long after Du Ruhui left, people passing by had already seen this notice, gathering a lot of people, and a hint of interest appeared on each face.
"Does this mean that even if you don't know Mr. An Xuan, you can still meet him?"
Suddenly, an excited voice sounded in the crowd, because it was true, but it said no matter who it was.
You should know that it is not easy for ordinary people to meet this world-famous An Xuan Gong, even if you see him, you will only see him from afar.
Not to mention talking, now there is such an opportunity. It can be said that many people in the crowd have their eyes flashed.
A scholar dressed as a scholar in the crowd took the lead in standing up and drew the first question.
"How many years did Saint Confucius travel around the countries?!"
Although it seemed simple, the scholar was stunned. He seemed to have seen this question in a book, but he just couldn't remember it.
Because no one would remember these subtle numbers, the scholar was also unwilling to accept it and wanted to change another question, but was stopped.
"If the young master cannot answer, please come again tomorrow."
The guard had already stopped him and then told the rules that each person only had one chance a day and could not change the questions.
"Little scholar, if you can't answer, just come down, don't be embarrassed."
Seeing a scholar's face look ugly, the crowd couldn't help but chuckled, and then many people started to make a fuss.
Under such circumstances, the scholar naturally couldn't stand putting down the question and went down the stairs in front of him, but he kept murmuring.
"How many years have you been?"
After this scholar stepped down, many people also went up to draw a problem, but in the end they shook their heads and looked ugly and stepped down.
In a short period of time, more and more people gathered in front of Shu Mansion. You should know that the original location of Shu Mansion belongs to a relatively remote area in Chang'an.
Some of them were the news spread, and many people rushed over after hearing the news. The first one was not Shilin, but the poor family members.
You should know that many poor families are very well-known for the name of An Xuan Gong. Many people have many problems and have other purposes.
They had never found a channel before, but now they had one. If they could answer ten questions correctly, they could meet An Xuan Gong.
Seize the opportunity and maybe you can leap at the dragon gate, even if you become a student of An Xuangong, you can change your own destiny.
In the era of aristocratic families, it can be said that this is another way, but the problem has been prepared long ago.
He doesn't care about your background. Anyway, he draws the questions based on luck, but Shu'an's questions are not that simple.
The first question alone asks about the blind spots of knowledge during learning in this era. Perhaps you can find the answer to this question when you go back.
But don’t forget that you will still have to perform random drawing next time, which may be another question.
Of course, some people may exchange answers, but knowledge in this era is more blocked than imagined.
Most people will not do this, not to mention that the answer tells others what benefits can they get.
On the contrary, after the answer to one question is released, I will leave the question bank, if I can draw this question myself.
It can be said that Shu An had already thought about all this, and took this opportunity to directly launch his Shumen Ten Questions.
The Ten Questions of Shumen are the first step for Shuan to take the path of a sage. You should know that the current imperial examination is not allowed to participate in poor families.
Even Li Shimin has not reformed the imperial examination system. After all, he has just ascended the throne, so internal and external troubles are naturally the case.
So this is a chance Shuan gave to poor families, and this seems like an unintentional act. Even if the aristocratic families discovered this, they would not say anything.
It is impossible to admit that your children are not as good as those from poor families.
In this way, Shu'an will naturally gain more reputation and influence, and this is also a future trend.
The imperial examination and Jinshi who were born into poor families fought against the knowledge monopoly of aristocratic families, and the court was destined to have a place for poor families, which was an inevitable result.
At this time, many poor children shook their heads, obviously they had a lot of resentment towards this An Xuan Gong.
"I don't seem to have seen these problems before."
"Duke An Xuan made a lot of ideas, but his reasoning was also true."
"We don't have much knowledge in poor families, so I'm afraid we can't even get through the first question."
...........
A series of discussion sounded, with a hint of disappointment in their words, but they were still surprised to see this trip.
At least Mr. An Xuan gave them a hope, and there is one thing that must be mentioned, that is, Mr. An Xuan’s calligraphy is indeed not inferior to the character of a saint of calligraphy.
Even for this word, they would draw a question every day and appreciate it. Unfortunately, everyone only has half a stick of incense.
If this time passes, it will be impossible to answer, but time has not passed long.
The news has spread throughout Chang'an, and many children of aristocratic families and the last nobles have gathered in front of the Shu Mansion.
Before coming here, these people learned about some situations, but as scholars in the Shilin class naturally had their own pride.
These people looked at the poor scholars with contempt, and also climbed the stairs and began to prepare to draw their own problems.
"One life, two, two, three, all things."
A child from a noble family looked at the title and his mouth was slightly twitching, and he was drawn with a couplet title, but this seemed to be from the "Tao Te Ching".
Some answers appeared in my mind, and they were all rejected one by one in the end. Is the first question going to be stumped?
For a time, this aristocratic family was unable to advance or retreat. In fact, it was more than one, and the aristocratic family members before they came to power were stumped.
Looking at the expressions of distressed expressions, some disappointed poor children were proud.
"Isn't someone who said that he is qualified to read poetry and books before, but he didn't expect that he would be more fond of it."
A sarcastic sound in the crowd instantly resonated with the poor and made the children of the aristocratic families look ashamed.
"Who dares to stand up?"
However, there are also people with bad tempers among the children of aristocratic families. They are naturally unwilling to accept the ridicule, so they said something.
For a moment, the noise in front of the Shu Mansion became a group, and it might break out and rush in at any time. Fortunately, the gathering crowd had already been followed by Jinwu Guard, so naturally he intervened as soon as possible.
