Chapter 323: Stand Out (Monthly Pass)
Minglun Hall, today's test is abacus.
This is just a small test, it is considered an optional test, so the marking of the papers in Minglun Hall is still underway.
For several days, the reviewers were locked up here, and they couldn't help but feel a little bored.
Almost 90% of the thousands of papers have been read, but there are not many outstanding ones. The most one is only recognized by twenty-one examiners.
This is the first time in the past that the reviewers have had such a big disagreement.
After all, marking papers is a big project. Now, even Yao Wenzhi and Yao Gong have become busy.
This time, the majority of people did not do well in the exam, so it is not easy to pick out excellent test papers from them.
Yao Wenzhi knew the examiner’s complaints. It was too controversial to not ask such a question this year.
But for Yao Wenzhi, he was enjoying it alone.
There are regrets, of course there are. Under such a big controversy, isn’t there a test paper that can be recognized by everyone?
But now, Yao Wenzhi's heart has been a little disappointed. It is estimated that it will be difficult to pick out the top scorer this year.
However, at noon today, Yao Wenzhi was about to use some refreshments, but an examiner hurriedly said, "Mr. Yao, Mr. Yao... is really strange, it's strange."
Yao Wenzhi raised his eyes, glanced at the examiner lightly, and said lightly: "What's the hurry? If you have something to do, calm down and say it."
The examiner said: "A article just now, twenty-seven reviewers have all circled it."
"What?"
This time, even Yao Wenzhi, who was extremely arrogant, couldn't sit still.
This highly controversial test question actually got the 27 examiners' points?
Yao Wenzhi thought he had made a mistake, opened his eyes wide and asked very seriously: "It's true? You old king, are you here to fool me?"
The examiner said amused and crying: "I really don't dare to fool you."
Yao Wenzhi subconsciously frowned, his face became solemn, and curiosity arose in his heart: "I will take the test paper and take a look."
So the examiner hurriedly picked up the article and delivered it to Yao Wenzhi.
Now this test paper is still famous, so I don’t know who it belongs. Even the running script inside is not written by the candidate himself. Because in order to prevent cheating, people deliberately left marks on the test paper, and all test papers will be copied by the clerk.
Yao Wenzhi looked carefully and saw that the twenty-seven red circles were particularly bright under the test paper.
It's really...
Then Yao Wenzhi read the article seriously.
"Mencius said: "I am old and my elders are the old; I am young and my younger, and I am young and my younger. The world can be controlled by the palm of my elders."
The first sentence of this article directly solved the topic and pointed out the main theme, and directly quoted the words of Mencius meeting King Hui of Liang.
What a smart person Yao Wenzhi was. As soon as he saw the first sentence, he suddenly said with a bright look: "It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful. Such thoughts are really rare."
In fact, without looking down, Yao Wenzhi knew the theme of this article. It must be supported to take it from the people and use it for the people. However, this candidate never starts with adding tuition, nor does he talk about mountains, rivers, and even more so on the construction of river embankments.
Just one sentence to treat the old and the old man, and to completely solve the problem.
This sentence means that when supporting elders who are filial to you, you should not forget other elderly people who are not related to you, and when raising and educating your children, you should not forget other children who are not related to you, you should not forget other children who are not related to you.
Who wouldn't know this sentence if anyone has read it?
But it just solved the problem.
We scholars, we should not only think about ourselves, but also about other elderly people.
This is the responsibility and obligation of scholars.
After all, what is the foundation of Confucianism? Filial piety comes first.
The first thing that is the old word is a political correctness that no one dares to touch. If anyone dares to say it, we shouldn’t support the elderly and try it?
But young people are children, and licking their calfs is a human instinct. Caring for children is a matter of course. So, who objectes not to love children?
Afterwards, the candidates started writing around this center. Today, many elderly people cannot receive support and many children cannot receive the education they should have. Can this be changed based on their personal abilities?
Obviously, no!
Why? Because personal abilities are limited.
Supporting the elderly and caring for young children is the responsibility of the government, but where does the government’s money and food come from? After all, it is still with the people.
The candidates are very keen and do not explain any time-consuming and laborious things, because there is always no end to debate about these.
The cleverness of the candidate is that he cunningly pulled out the elderly and children. Why did he take them from the people and use them for the people? It is so that the elderly will not be supported because their son is unfilial, and the children will not be poor and educated.
Puff...
The tea from Yao Wenzhi's mouth almost spewed out. Once this banner was put out, the reviewers who opposed taking it from the people and using it for the people would have to be able to sing their beards and stare. These test papers will have to be archived in the future. As the reviewer, what do you think of this article? In the future, people in future generations can really find it. If you can't even tolerate the opinions of filial piety, brotherhood, and friendship, what kind of book can you read?
Of course, although this outstanding problem is clever, it can be recognized by everyone, but it has a lot to do with the style of this article. The text is beautiful, and occasionally, some fresh sentences will appear, and the structure is also very conspicuous, almost... you can't find any problem.
"This candidate..." Yao Wenzhi pointed at the paper and said, "I'm just a little clever, but his writing style is fresh and he has a good reading."
The examiner smiled and said, "So, isn't this person taking a chance?"
Yao Wenzhi shook his head and said, "The so-called imperial examinations have only so many questions, and they will never leave their primitives. If you want to stand out and be outstanding, how can you not take any tricks? All the exams have always been like this. When the imperial court selects wise men, they choose these people. Is it really a group of nerds who are also here to become officials?"
Without thinking, he also took the pen casually and drew a circle under the test paper.
The examiner couldn't help but say, "In this way, this person is really lucky. I can't say that he will rank first this time."
Yao Wenzhi's eyes were filled with appreciation, and he looked in a good mood. He smiled and said, "It is true kung fu to gain the recognition of most people. I read all the test papers of candidates, but I am not as good as the lyrics. If there is no other masterpiece, then I will rank first."
"yes."

Chen Kaizhi took abacus today, but abacus was only a small exam. There were only a few hundred people who came here to take the exam.
This kind of test that hardly affects grades is actually meaningless.
If it weren't for the ancestral laws set by Emperor Taizu Gao, I'm afraid these messy rules would have been cut off long ago.
The reason why Chen Kaizhi took the exam was just to do his best. When he saw these few hundred people sitting in this cold examination room, he smiled bitterly.
Emperor Taizu Gao was a truly knowledgeable person, but unfortunately everything he planned could not resist the orders of future generations and descendants. Moreover, many scholars who consider themselves very high have long regarded this math as a low-key career, believing that only those merchants and accountants who are very particular about it are concerned about.
After putting the questions, Chen Kaizhi finished the exam quickly and persisted until the end of the exam before leaving.
The news that he had the highest high school soldiers ranked first has caused a small sensation in Luoyang. It is said that in the Ministry of War and even the Ministry of Rites, they are discussing this matter, because there has never been a first place in the Wen Juren exam. In this way, is he considered a Martial Juren?
This... is actually all the sequelae left by Emperor Taizu Gao. It is because of the ancestors' laws that everyone wants to change, but they cannot.
As a result... Chen Kaizhi directly caused a very serious problem.
If Chen Kaizhi was in high school, would he be considered a literary Jinshi or a martial Jinshi?
This is not a trivial matter. The court emphasizes that agreements become customs, and some things are inconvenient to be written into the law. Therefore, everything has precedents, and how to deal with them is crucial, because such things happen in the future will be handled according to the previous examples.
After Chen Kaizhi finished the abacus exam, he returned home directly. Just now he got home, and Liu Mengyuan and Deng Jian also happened to come back together.
When they saw Chen Kaizhi, both of them looked at him with a strange look.
Chen Kaizhi felt uncomfortable all over when he was stared at him. Why... Is there any flower on his face?
"Kaizhi, leave, talk inside." Liu Mengyuan nodded to Chen Kaizhi.
Deng Jianze winked at him, and when he arrived in the dining room, Liu Mengyuan knelt down and stroked his beard and said, "Kaizhi, today is the day for court discussion, do you know?"
Chen Kaizhi nodded and said, "On the 15th day of every month, all the officials will discuss, so the students will naturally know."
Liu Mengyuan sighed: "Today's court discussions are your business."
"Ah..." Chen Kaizhi was surprised. As for what, civil and military officials spent a day studying him? Is he a monkey?
Deng Jian was impatient and couldn't help it: "It's your first priority in military affairs. Now I can't tell whether you are a literary or a martial artist."
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "It's not my fault, Emperor Taizu Gao's ancestral system clearly stipulates..."
Liu Mengyuan suppressed his hand: "I know, I know, this ancestral system has been familiar with it for a long time, so the crux of the problem lies in this. What is controversial in the court this time are the laws of ancestors and the current laws and regulations. There is a lot of conflict. The ministers expressed their opinions, so the court discussion ended, but they still had no clue yet."
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but be amazed. Is it so exaggerated?
Although Chen Kaizhi knew that the ancients were the most legitimate, once there was any problem with the provision, it could cause a huge storm, but...
Chapter completed!
