Iron Tower in the morning light, ancient bell of Fan Temple.

The entire Kaibao Temple is as quiet as sleeping, and the autumn wind gently swept across the Bodhi leaves.

At this moment, Zhang Yue's heart was extremely quiet.

Some candidates were still sleeping on the desk in the monk's room, some were already writing articles, and some were still thinking hard.

Zhang Yue looked at the title, and the title was "The Best of the Best Like Water", the title was "The Poem of the Autumn Wind Breeze", the Poem of the Lotus of the Sun", the Poem of the Poem of "Yu Ji's Strategy to Help the World", and the topic was "Who is the First Discussion on Literature and Action".

The Imperial College has a monthly exam every year, and the content is similar. Zhang Yue has already experienced many battles. After a night of brewing, Zhang Yue has already drafted all the questions in his mind.

Let’s start with the best strategy.

First, "Who is the first to discuss literary and behavior", literary and behavior mostly refers to articles and behaviors. At first glance, what is the first to refer to articles and behaviors?

It seems easy to understand. Generally speaking, character behavior is first, and of course character is first.

However, you should think carefully about this topic from the Analects of Confucius and describe it.

The original text is "Son uses the four teachings to be loyal and trustworthy."

Literature refers to culture and education, and conduct refers to practice.

Zhang Yue thought a little, and immediately picked up his pen and wrote, "The teachings of the sages can be understood before they can be done."

Knowing before acting is the purpose of Neo-Confucianism.

Before Wang Yangming appeared, this was the most accepted statement by the mainstream at that time, and it was slightly ahead of the times.

With the beginning, Zhang Yue wrote without hesitation, "Knowing and doing things are always necessary, just like having no feet to do, and seeing everything is visible. In terms of order, knowing first, talking about severity and seriousness, and doing things are important."

Having written this, Zhang Yue knew that this question was stable.

The imperial examination is not for you to perform freely, it must be in line with the views of most people.

After Zhang Yue finished writing this theory, the candidates on the side woke up one after another, but when they saw that the man brought the hot rice soup to the candidates, "The chief examiner treats you with courtesy, give me a bowl of soup."

Well, although it’s rice soup, it’s better to have it than not.

A bowl of rice soup was brought from the lattice window, and Zhang Yue couldn't wait to take a sip.

Well, the rice soup is very thick. For Zhang Yue, who had eaten cold food for a day yesterday, this bowl of rice soup made him feel relieved.

Next, Zhang Yue looked at the next question "The Strategies for Yu and Ji to Help the World".

Many candidates scratched their ears and faces when they first asked this question. Zhang Yue took a breath.

Because this question was too biased.

But then again, Zhang Yue, who was well-informed and memorable, could not get the exam.

Why is this question a bit different? Because this question is not in the Nine Classics, but in the Book of Jin.

This sentence comes from what Du Yu said, "Yu Ji's achievements were intended to help the world, and it was almost the same."

Yu Ji is Dayu Hou Ji.

Dayu controlled the flood and Houji farmed for great contributions to the people of the world.

The Book of Jin mentioned Du Yushi that "the affairs of the public are all done. Anyone who creates things must be considered at the end of the world, and there are few failures. Some people who criticize the idea of ​​breaking their minds, and said, "The achievements of Yu Ji are expected to help the world, and they are almost the same."

Du Yu must do what he knows about the public, and everything he builds must take the exam, and few fail. Some people laugh at him for his trivial things and his plan is too meticulous. Du Yu said that Yu Ji's achievements lie in helping the world and promoting the people, and I think about it.

However, it is OK to answer according to the idea of ​​Dayu controlling the flood and Houji farming. But it must be lowered to a higher level.

Therefore, the core of this question must be answered around "About the public affairs, knowing everything. Everything that is created must be tested. The question is that few people can read history books, and as for reading history books, few people can read Du Yu's biography, and even if they read it, they may not remember it.

Therefore, Zhang Yue speculated about this question in the past, and many people would answer it according to the "national current affairs" and talked about Yuji's achievements in flood control and farming.

But the key point is not here.

Of course, knowing the meaning of the question does not mean that you can write well.

But Zhang Yue especially likes Du Yu and Du Wuku, so he has a great writing style.

After finishing writing, Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. This question is like the last question in the college entrance examination mathematics.

Generally speaking, when answering questions, just write down the first small question of the biggest answer. You don’t have to read the following questions, saving time.

And Zhang Yue's question seems to have solved all of it.

But below is a poem.

As for the poem about the autumn wind blooming osmanthus leaves, it is not difficult.

There is an article in Luo Yin of the Tang Dynasty, which shows the autumn wind brings cinnamon branches.

This question was once in the private exam during the Taixue period, which was equivalent to a half-score question. It is also known that the examiner is also very good at guessing the above meaning and consciously reducing the difficulty of poetry in the interpretation of the test.

On the other hand, the 'Yu Ji strategy to help the world' is a question that can be divided.

As for "Asakhi Ren Poem", this topic was also very wildly tested.

This poem about Akiri was not written by poets from previous generations such as the Jin and Tang dynasties, but by Zhang Yong and Zhang Guaiya.

Zhang Yue likes a poem written by Zhang Yong when he was young, "The mysterious gate must not be closed, but hard learning should be opened by oneself." People are role models from poor families to prime ministers.

And this man's personality is like his name Guya. What is Guya? Guya will go against the crowd, and the cliff will not be beneficial.

Anyway, he is a very personal person.

After taking his poem "Asakhi Ren Poem" in this way, it can be regarded as a tribute to the boss.

When the two fu poems were finished, the sun was already drooping west, and it was almost evening.

Zhang Yue still has the last question, "The best of the best is like water".

The highest good is like water from the Tao Te Ching.

Don’t be surprised, this is the question for the Jinshi exam. You must be a scholar who is not conservative and reads all kinds of books.

Therefore, Taoist books are also listed in the title.

In the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, we had to strictly find sentences and set questions from the Four Books and Five Classics, which would make people narrow the vision.

Besides, Emperor Zhenzong of Song worshipped Taoism and explained the explanation and asked questions from the Tao Te Ching, which was not surprising at all.

But the problem is that Zhang Yue has two answers to this tribute in his mind.

One has the word "玉" and the other has no "玉". He doesn't know how to answer this question.

When Zhang Yue thought of this, he suddenly felt a little hungry and screamed.

It's too late.

The night is as bright as ink, and the iron-cast Kaibao Temple Pagoda is even more integrated into the dark night.

I wrote it for a day today, and I was so focused on Zhang Yue that I couldn't help but say to the official, "Come on the bowl of noodles."

"Constant money!"

Zhang Yue took out the money and put it in the hands of the public.

Soon, a bowl of hot noodle with a little oil and a little oil was brought to the examination room. Zhang Yue couldn't help but still took a piece of cake and broke it a little and soaked it in the noodles.

Although it is not very delicious, it is already a delicacy for Zhang Yue at this moment.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Zhang Yue felt a lot of energy. He first read the several questions he had written before and was very satisfied.

Poetry and essays were not his strengths, but these two poems were just cheaper, and the two strategies and arguments made him more confident.

Looking at the whole article, there is no typo. The surface of the book is extremely clean and tidy. With the addition of calligraphy, it is almost like I saw the top scholar in a museum in a later generation.

How many people want to achieve this kind of beauty?

But if this supreme good is placed in front of you, how can you answer it?

At this time, the wind started outside the window, and then an autumn rain started.

Zhang Yue immediately covered the window with a tart cloth to prevent the rain from being rolled up, and he lit a candle in the monk's room to contemplate.

ps: It will be longer tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
