Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty: (Seventh)
This was the case with Taoism back then. The court hated it, so the five dou of rice and Taiping Taoism were rampant, planting the seeds of the demise of the Han Dynasty. After that, Buddhism also became the same, and then the Buddha was destroyed. After that, the court comforted Taoism and Buddhism, and at the same time put some restrictions on it. Now, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have not only not been a problem, but have become power that the court can borrow.
The power of the court should not be used to eliminate ignorant believers, but should distinguish ambitious people from ordinary believers. If there is no reason to hate, it will only push more good people to the opposite of the court...
Ye Chunqiu wrote seriously, without any stop. He really took this topic seriously, hoping that the court could adopt his own suggestions so that many innocent people could survive. The shadow of that little maid appeared in his mind. She might be stupid, might have misbehaved people's words, and might not know what is right or wrong. There may be people who have read scriptures laughing at her and laughing at her for believing in these false things, but she is still innocent, kind, and still has a ridiculous but absolutely beautiful vision for everything.
Are such people also sect bandits? If such people are all sect bandits and will become things under the sword of the official army to receive merit and reward, then what is the difference between the court and the White Lotus Sect bandits?
Ye Chunqiu was done in one go, completely forgetting himself.
On the other hand, Ye Jing was also cheered up and started to do the questions. This question had some advantages for him. When he came to the capital, in addition to worrying about Ye Chunqiu's safety, he was full of thinking about how to save Ye Chunqiu. He hated the White Lotus Sect and had thought of countless ways to kill these White Lotus Sect bandits in his heart. Now, many ideas can be revealed in answering questions, and they can be considered as writing like a god.
Time passes by bit by bit.
When the last incense burned out, Ye Chunqiu also happened to leave the last ink for his article, and shouted... the ink traces have not dried, but the time is just right.
Ye Chunqiu raised his eyes and pursed his lips, which happened to touch Zhu Houzhao's gaze.
Why doesn't this emperor look very reliable? He always sees what he does?
Oh... I remembered that I was covered in dust and dirty clothes. It was indeed very rude to run to this palace of the Emperor.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel a little upset, but... he finally rushed to the palace examination and finished the test. Although he was not very sure, he felt a little more comfortable and he felt relaxed.
The eunuchs began to collect the papers.
Immediately afterwards, the students bowed and returned to the document, and sat there. The eunuchs picked up the papers and sent them to the cabinet masters, who began to select.
They will select a fairly good fifty of the hundreds of papers before they will have the final discussion.
In fact, the teachers were very quick to mark the papers. It was still noon and it was still early. Someone brought up the tea and occasionally the teachers would whisper. Jiao Fang happened to get the browned paper. She just glanced and smiled, but she sent the papers to Xie Qian's place with a smile and said, "Mr. Xie, this is the answer to the dog. I should avoid suspicion. Mr. Xie will take a look."
Xie Qian also happened to have a test paper and wanted to hand it over to Liu Jian to read it, so he just handed it over to him: "This is Ye Chunqiu's answer. Ye Chunqiu has some connection with me, so please ask Mr. Jiao to read it."
Xie Qian is indeed a gentleman. In fact, if we really want to talk about it, he has nothing to do with Ye Chunqiu, but he is afraid that he will lose fairness because he cherishes Ye Chunqiu, so he would rather hand the test paper to Jiao Fang for reading.
"Is that true?" Jiao Fang's eyes looked faint and glanced at Ye Chunqiu sitting in the hall with a smile. Ye Chunqiu... It turned out that he had an affair with Xie Qian.
He took Ye Chunqiu's paper and just saw it, he was overjoyed.
Something interesting...
Ye Chunqiu's policy theory seems to be not very good. His son's paper has a very high intention. He starts with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, talks about the way of education, and finally talks about the formation of etiquette and law. It has a very high-level idea and magnificent momentum. However, when talking about the White Lotus Sect, it is like a gurgling stream, which is gentle and beautiful. From the emperor's herders, to the local officials teaching the people, the so-called "to resist ignorance with knowledge, to eliminate ignorance with etiquette and law, from diligence to loving the people, and finally ends with kindness and power. Such a policy paper even Jiao Fang feels willing to give up the disadvantage.
Such policy theory is a model of policy theory in all dynasties. It is faintly vaguely the style of Ouyang Xiu, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty.
But what about Ye Chunqiu’s strategy…
The more Jiao Fang looked at it, the more she wanted to laugh. What kind of mess is this? It's all about some details. It's not arguing.
Logically speaking, such an answer is inferior, and Jiao Fang naturally doesn't like it at all.
However, he had a sudden inspiration and was silent with the paper.
Such a paper is extremely bad. If you give it up, Ye Chunqiu took the Huiyuan exam on the Southern List, and there is still a real second-class Jinshi. Since the test paper in his hand is not the second-class, you might as well let it pass. Later, the excellent papers will be read to the candidates, the emperor and the ministers here. Then you might as well let everyone listen to Ye Chunqiu's answer. Isn't Xie Qian a good relationship with Ye Chunqiu? This also seems to have given him a favorable favor. By the way, he can humiliate Ye Chunqiu in court.
After making up his mind, Jiao Fang cheered up and called the eunuch, solemnly placed the paper on the brocade box, and ordered the eunuch to seal it.
This is what passes, you can enter the last ranking.
After a while, more than 30 brocade boxes were placed in front of the imperial case. As for other papers, they were eliminated and there was no chance at all.
All the candidates were nervous. Looking at the brocade boxes, they knew in their hearts that if their papers were in brocade boxes, even if they showed their faces in this palace examination, the palace examination decided to be the Jinshi. Although they passed the exam and entered the class of the official master, their future prospects were all in this palace examination. If they were first-class and immediately became famous all over the world, they would definitely rise to the top in the future. If they were second-class, it would be good. As long as they were not confused, they would almost have a steady chance to enter a high position in this life, but if they were third-class, it would be miserable. If others ate meat, they could only drink soup. If they were not lucky, they would just put a county magistrate or county magistrate from Yunnan, Guizhou or Liaodong, and they would have been playing with mud for half their lives.
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This was the first time he did the test independently, but he didn't know what the result was. He just wrote passionately. Now that he thought about it carefully, he felt a little bit erotic.
