Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 282, Everyone is ready to watch a joke

"It seems that the princess Wang is more likely to take the test this year. I wonder if everyone is interested in betting on the test together?"

After discussing with the chief examiner, Jiang Shan is here to guide everyone to make bets. Betting is also one of the things everyone likes to do most. Of course, since ancient times, the probability of wanting to win the test is almost zero.

Because the questions of the imperial examination are completely based on the personal preferences of the examiners, and the scope is from the Four Books and Five Classics, which is very wide.

It doesn't matter if you can't guess correctly, literati are still happy to bet on the questions, and they are always happy. Every time there is an imperial examination, all kinds of news about the exam questions are flying all over the sky before the exam, and [-]% of them are Everyone bet on it.

"If the prince is the examiner, I think it may be related to the current sea ban."

Ouyang Wen thought for a while and said, this betting question is not random betting. In many cases, it is still necessary to bet on current affairs and politics, because examiners often like to make questions based on current affairs and politics. It may be an opportunity to stand above the court, to report the favor of the king, and to benefit the people.

"Why does Ouyang brother think so?"

When Jiang Shan heard this, he asked quickly.

"The sea ban has always been my Ming Dynasty's national policy, but some time ago, the imperial court granted Tianjin a license to lift the sea ban, and allowed coastal fishermen to go fishing in the sea. Perhaps the prince may raise a question because of this."

Ouyang Wen expressed his opinion.

"If the topic of banning the sea is the topic, how should we answer it in the light of brother Ouyang?"

Someone asked again hastily.

"The prince is knowledgeable, enlightened in Confucian classics, disciplined in practice, clean in writing, and good at calligraphy. We may be able to develop from these aspects."

Ouyang Wen still has a few brushes, and he has already figured out Wang Jia's situation in advance, and obviously made sufficient preparations for the imperial examination.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help nodding their heads straight away, knowing that if Wang Jia was the examiner, the stereotyped essay could not be written too complicatedly, it must be concise. Good is obviously a plus.

Of course, the papers of the imperial examinations are all transcribed by a special person, and then they are given to the chief examiner for review, so as to prevent the recognition from the handwriting, which will lead to the unfairness of the imperial examinations.

"I think it's possible that Duke Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came up with the question. This question may have something to do with the theft of the official storehouse. Everyone thinks that."

Soon Liu Hongzhi also expressed his opinion. Zhou Jing is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If he came to take the exam, the questions he asked might really have something to do with the theft of the official warehouse.

When everyone heard Liu Hongzhi's words, they were also slightly vigilant. This case has not been closed until now, and the deeper the investigation, the more and more court officials were involved, so that many ministers in the court were in a state of panic all day long.

"Then I don't know how brother Liu thinks we should answer the question?"

Jiang Shan thought about it and asked, betting on the question, betting on the question, whether it is a betting question, or discussing how to answer the question if this question is really asked, the core of the answer naturally revolves around the political views of the examiner , Advocate to answer, to be able to add points.

"Duke Zhou has always been upright and upright, and dared to speak out directly, so I personally think that if it was Duke Zhou who came up with the question, our wording could be more severe, pointing at the key points, and dare to speak out about the current bad government."

After Liu Hongzhi pondered for a while, he also expressed his opinion. When everyone heard it, they all nodded. Everyone knows the name of Duke Zhou. If you write in a detour, you will probably lose points.

"If Xu Gong from the Ministry of Rites came to be the chief examiner, it may be very likely..."

All the talented scholars kept discussing and discussing, from the examiner's personal preferences, personality, political views, etc., to current affairs, they kept betting on these questions and discussing how to answer them.

Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan have always just listened quietly and did not express any opinions. Gatherings like this are useful even if they are said to be useful. Many people can learn some gossip through such gatherings.

It can be said that it is useless or completely useless, because even if you guess the examiner correctly, it is impossible to guess the exam questions. If you don’t have real talents, you will still be confused during the exam and you will not be able to write anything at all.

The stereotyped exam is rigidly restricted, from the eight parts of breaking the question, accepting the question, starting the lecture, entering the question, starting the question, middle part, back part, and binding part, each part has various strict requirements.

The content must use the tone of the ancients, and free play is absolutely not allowed. The length of the sentence, the complexity of the words, and even the tone of the tone must be relatively written, flat and straight, and the number of words is limited.

These many requirements have led to the fact that even if the examiner guesses correctly, it is useless, unless he can know the exam questions in advance, study the exam questions in advance, and slowly refine them, which is really useful.

"Brother Huang, Brother Tong, you two are the disciples of high-ranking disciples, so you must be very sure about Qiu Wei this time. I don't know what advice you two have on this?"

Seeing that the two of them hadn't spoken, Jiang Shan immediately shifted the topic to Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan when the atmosphere cooled down a bit.

When it came to the disciples of Gaoren's disciples, the voices became louder. Huang Jinquan, Tong Yuan, and Lin Shuhong gambled with Liu Jin on the Moon Tower, and it was rumored that they worshiped Liu Jin as their teacher after losing. Shilin, which has spread all over Beizhili, has always been a matter of jokes.

Of course, this reputation will not be very good, the three of them are older than Liu Jin, and Liu Jin is also a scholar, it is a joke to worship Liu Jin as a teacher, no matter how you look at it,

Hearing Jiang Shan's words, everyone turned their eyes to the two of them, with faint smiles.

"The two of us are ignorant, with mediocre talents, and not good at studies. This time, we are probably just going through the motions."

Huang Jinquan said very modestly.

"Brother Huang's words are wrong. Who knows the name of Mr. Liu Jin and Mr. Liu? He is the son of a high-ranking man, who knows astronomy and geography. The two of you can worship Liu Jin as a teacher, which shows that you are very talented. The disciples of the masters teach me, how difficult is the mere rural examination?"

"Presumably, the two of you must be aiming at Chunwei, to be named on the gold list, maybe next year you will be the No. [-] scholar."

Ouyang Wen smiled and said, the reason he held Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan so high was naturally to make them fall badly.

Everyone knows why they worship Liu Jin as their teacher. What kind of talent is there? As for Liu Jin, he has never been able to pee in the same pants as Shilin in Beizhili. Naturally, everyone doesn't like Liu Jin. What's more, Liu Jin has always been doing business and business affairs, which is even more looked down upon by these literati.

Now it's about to fall, and I don't know how many people are waiting to see the jokes of Liu Jin's master and apprentice, especially Liu Jin's jokes. People laughed out loud.

"Brother Ouyang won the award. We are no more ambitious than Brother Ouyang. We have great ambitions, and are even more talented. We just hope that we will be satisfied without being named as a mentor."

Tong Yuan looked at Ouyang Zhi coldly. This man spoke nicely, but every word was aimed at himself and at his teacher.

"Brother Tong, I wonder if your mentor will take the provincial examination this time?"

Liu Hongzhi smiled and followed suit.

"Of course I will."

Tong Yuan said lightly.

"The four of you take the provincial examination at the same time. If you pass all the exams, this four talents will definitely become a good story through the ages."

Liu Hongzhi thought for a while and said.

"Isn't it? If next year's Chunwei is also named on the gold list at the same time, this four Jinshi, it will be really terrible."

Ouyang Zhi continued.

Everyone looked at it with a smile. Although the affairs between literati did not have swords and swords, they were heart-wrenching. Everyone was talking about the examination of the four members of Liu Jin's family. There are four beautiful stories about Jinshi, but they are actually waiting to see the jokes of Liu Jin, Huang Jinquan, and Tong Yuan.

How nice it is to say now, when the exam is over, when the four people in this subject refer to it, if none of them pass the exam, then it will not be a good story through the ages.

Both Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan's expressions turned ugly. People can hear good or bad words like this.

"Everyone, the two of us have something to say, so let's say goodbye first. I hope that you can all be named on the gold list."

Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan looked at each other, it would be meaningless to stay any longer, so they just left Wangyue Tower without saying a word.

When everyone told Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan to leave, they couldn't help but smile at each other, ready to see a joke.

　The President of Brazil seems to be infected with that, and now it is very serious abroad~~
