Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 274 Deliberately Embarrassing
What the examinees thought was, when they took the exam later, would they also have to take the exam in front of everyone?
Some candidates have trembling legs, it's over!He is more nervous when there are many people!
Seeing the instructors from the Confucianism Department appear in the courtyard one after another, everyone couldn't help becoming more nervous, and some candidates even had cold sweat on their foreheads.

All the candidates quickly saluted, and after several examiners greeted each other, they took their seats and began the exam.

"The top ten will be tested in front of everyone. The rest will be tested after entering the examination room."

Prefect Liao glanced at the students below and said.

Most of the candidates breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the ten candidates in front with sympathetic eyes.

No way, in fact, the test questions are the same for everyone, if they all take the test together, how can they take the test?
In order to take into account the previous rumors, Prefect Liao temporarily changed the mode of the exam.

The top ten were examined individually in front of everyone, in order to clear up the previous rumors that Su Yizhao and him had teamed up to cheat.

Prefect Liao glanced at Su Yizhao who was standing below, then glanced at the four teachings, and then pointed casually.

"Shen Jiaoyu, why don't you come up with the questions!" Prefect Liao pointed at Shen Jiaoyu and said.

This Shen Jiaoyu, whom Su Yizhao had heard of before, was from Yicheng Mansion.Although they are both from Yibei Province, they are not from Beiyuan Mansion, so naturally they have no affection for the students of Beiyuan Mansion.

This time, a total of four instructors acted as examiners and invigilators, all of whom were not locals, and had little contact with the magistrate before, but they were selected through examinations to prevent cheating.

Shen Jiaoyu did not evade, and after a polite sentence, he asked: "The so-called self-cultivation is about rectifying one's mind. If there is anger in the body, it will not be rectified. What's the explanation?"

Su Yizhao was a little surprised, this question is easy!

The examinees couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They heard that the last round was just for ranking, and they could still answer such a simple question.

Thinking that the previous ranking will not change much, this is just a formality.

Everyone felt that they understood, and relaxed.

"This sentence comes from "University", and it is said: The so-called self-cultivation lies in rectifying one's mind. If there is anger in the body, it will not be rectified; if there is fear, it will not be rectified; if there is joy, it will not be rectified. Worry cannot be corrected."

"Its interpretation is that the reason why it is said that to cultivate one's own character is to correct one's mind first. If there is anger in the heart, it cannot be corrected; if there is fear in the heart, it cannot be corrected; if there is liking in the heart, it cannot be corrected; , cannot be rectified.”

This question is so simple that Su Yizhao can answer it without thinking. She feels a little strange. If it is so simple, then what is the meaning of this scene?

Everyone nodded, and many candidates were even more jealous. If they were the ones who answered this question, wouldn't they be able to pass?This is too simple, right?
"Not bad! The foundation is very solid, I hope you will continue to work hard."

Shen Jiaoyu stroked his goatee, nodded and praised.

At the same time, he carefully observed Su Yizhao, this son's future is boundless, why should he be that villain?
It's better to come up with a well-regulated topic, let him relax, and make a good relationship.

The other teachings looked as usual, not knowing what was going on in their hearts, but at this moment Prefect Liao spoke out.

"Then let me ask another question!" Prefect Liao said suddenly.

"The second question is a piece of four scriptures. Come here, light the incense burner, and answer the question within a stick of incense."

Liao Zhifu's words made everyone dumbfounded.

When is it time to take the four-book prose test for oral meaning, and the four-book prose test in the time of a stick of incense?Are they crazy or the magistrate is crazy?

Su Yijue looked at the independent young man in front of him with some worry. How could he complete a four-book question in a short time?This is clearly a dilemma.

Even if Su Yizhao finished, the answer was not satisfactory, after all, he answered the question hastily.

And it's a verbal meaning, not a competition, but if the memory is poor, can you still remember the answers mentioned before?There are also people who have forgotten the title.

Su Yizhao's heart also sank, what does Prefect Liao mean?
"There is nothing without sincerity, so sincerity is the most precious thing for a gentleman, and sincerity is not just self-improvement, so it is also a thing."

This sentence comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean", and Su Yizhao immediately thought of the source. The original sentence is "The honesty is self-contained, and the way is the way. The honesty is the end of the thing, and the insincerity has nothing, so the gentleman is honest."

Unaffected by foreign objects, Su Yizhao immediately immersed himself in his own thoughts.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, if it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't whisper to each other at this moment, the courtyard would be like boiling water.

They also heard that the magistrate is related to Su Yizhao, so what is the magistrate's intention in doing this?
Also, if everyone has to answer the four essays, will they be able to pass the exam today?
There is only one stick of incense time, which is simply impossible.

Everyone also thought about the answer in their hearts, to see if they could complete the question within a stick of incense.

Su Yiliang raised his head and glanced at Prefect Liao. He had asked the second brother about it before, and the second brother said that the verbal meaning is actually very simple, and usually he would not be unable to answer it.

In fact, the examiner already knew the previous rankings, and there will not be much change after the oral exam.

Some provinces don’t even take the last exam. Take the county exam four years ago as an example, there was no fifth exam.

He looked at Su Yizhao's back in a daze. If Su Yizhao didn't answer this time, would he fall from the altar of No.1?

He felt a little dark in his heart, but then he thought that perhaps the entire Su family would be ridiculed by outsiders, saying that Su Yizhao had earned his name in vain.

Especially Meng Lingxi from Handan Mansion, if he got the top case but Su Yizhao didn't, and even fell out of the top ten, wouldn't Meng Lingxi feel proud?

Thinking of this, Su Yiliang immediately shook his head, no!

How can I say that Su Yizhao is also a child of the Su family, affecting the entire Su family, how can outsiders be proud?

Su Yizhao didn't know how contradictory her fifth elder brother was at the moment, ignoring everyone's gaze, she suddenly bowed deeply to her superior.

Prefect Liao was a little puzzled, what is the meaning of this?A stick of incense has just begun, does Su Yizhao want to give up?

If Su Yizhao gave up, wouldn't her previous efforts be in vain?
Although the previous results were excellent, the county test will definitely give it to him, but the ranking will not be very good, and it may even drop to the top ten.

Could it be that his subject was too harsh?But he had heard before that when Su Yizhao and Meng Lingxi competed, they could write a poem in just a short time, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him.

In fact, Magistrate Liao already regretted a little at this moment, he should not have overestimated Su Yizhao so much if he knew earlier.

Everyone felt sorry in their hearts, they really wanted to give up, right?
In fact, I can still persist. Although the answer is not good due to haste, it is still rare.

However, while they were regretting, they felt a little excited in their hearts. What's going on?
