In the next few days, Wang Sheng was immersed in reading and became the person who never left the door or left the door. Of course, it was not just him, but also the other three people.
The day after the results of the prefectural exam came out, someone found out that the top candidate in the prefectural exam lived in the north of the city. They sent him a marriage gift and invitation, but Wang Canhui blocked it with all kinds of clichés.
The college examination is coming soon. Rumor has it that the examiner of this college examination is Mr. Wu. This is just because Mr. Wu happens to be the academic administrator in the nearby area. If there is no accident, he will be the one.
Wang Canhui asked if he wanted to buy some Mr. Wu's pledge books, but Wang Sheng refused.
Wang Sheng recently read the collected works of Mr. Wu. The words are gorgeous and meaningful, but they are not in line with his own writing style. However, instead of struggling with the issue of writing style and randomly piecing together some words to form an article, it is probably better to Still realistic.
Moreover, this book of inscriptions was collected and compiled by someone else. No one knows the details. There is a rumor of twenty taels in one copy. Instead of counting on others, it’s better to count on yourself.
On the third day, the capital issued a decree and ordered Mr. Wu to invigilate the college examination. He rushed to Changle Mansion on the fourth day. After visiting the local Confucius Temple on the fifth day, he led a group of examiners to pay tribute. hospital.
Wu Xuezheng only has private staff and no public staff. Therefore, the preparation for the examination and the composition of subordinates are still the government examination personnel. The difference is that Wu Xuezheng is the chief examiner, and the chief examiner of the government examination, Liu Zhifu, is reduced to Deputy Examiner.
When the seven-day deadline was up, Wang Sheng woke up early as usual, checked the belongings he had brought, and waited outside the Gongyuan after finishing his meal.
It is worth mentioning that there is no difference in the length of the examination between the college examination, the county examination and the government examination. They are all three consecutive examinations in one day, but the admission process is much more complicated.
Wang Sheng first found the approval sign held by the yamen servant, with the name of the candidate written on it, and then followed the yamen servant and the county magistrate into the second gate to wait.
For the verification here, a group of twenty people will be searched by two yamen officers one after another, and then another yamen officer will check the items brought by the candidates. Then he stood in front of the prefect and was searched by three government officials.
After all twenty people have been searched and the test baskets have been checked, they can stand in front of the academic administration. The two security guards will confirm their identities. The historian next to them will make a note. A note will be drawn from the side to designate the student. location and copy it in the book.
This booklet is used for final verification of candidates’ names and registration of successful candidates. Otherwise, no one can touch it.
This approach will prevent candidates from cheating to the greatest extent, but it will also waste a lot of time.
Children do not need to write their names on the college examination papers, but only need to write their examination number.
After the exam, in addition to correcting the test paper, the examiner also needs to check whether the handwriting is the same as that in the county and government exams. If they are not the same, they will be directly treated as cheating, and the examinees will be arrested on the day the results are released.
Wang Sheng sat in his seat waiting for the answer sheet to be distributed and collected the test basket.Pick it up.
It has started to rain in the past few days. After the answer sheets are distributed for inspection, unused papers should be placed on the lid of the test basket to prevent them from getting wet due to rain. There will be no answer sheets to replace.
The waiting time is also long, a full three-quarters of an hour later than the government examination, but the time to collect the papers is the same.
So, after Wang Sheng checked whether there were any gaps, he immediately wrote down his seat number and began to think about these questions.
The questions in the college examination were no different from those in the government examination. They were also based on scriptures and Mo Yi, and the amount of questions was the same, but it was shortened by three quarters of an hour. After Wang Sheng put down his pen and checked whether there were any gaps, he realized that there were After collecting the answer sheet, immediately spread it on the table and wait for the examiner to take it away.
In the second examination, the question was also very interesting: "There are many Japanese pirates on Ryukyu Island in Changle Prefecture. The court decided to close the port and cultivate health. If there are more, it is said that Japanese invaders attack Japanese." Describe in detail the pros and cons of the strategy."
The general meaning is that there are many Japanese pirates on Ryukyu Island near Changle Prefecture. Some people in the court say they want to close the port, and some people say they want to attack it. Ask about the pros and cons and write it down. Three thousand words.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
For Wang Sheng, this question was not too difficult due to the accumulation of later generations and the recent reading of Changle Mansion's "Local Chronicles", so he thought about it and wrote down the pros and cons.
Let’s start with the advantages of isolation. It not only cultivates health and protects the safety of people along the coast such as Changle Mansion, but also promotes the development of a self-generated economy. The economy can develop without war. Here are several examples of northern nobles migrating southward in the previous dynasties to demonstrate.
This indispensable article also writes about his shortcomings. The closure of the port this time is to abandon the people of our country and ignore it, which is inconsistent with what "Mencius: King Hui of Liang" once said: "The people are the most important thing. The relevant theories of "Sheji is the second."
Furthermore, to use a sentence from Su Shi's "Red Cliff Ode": "From the perspective of its changes, the heaven and the earth have not been able to change in an instant." To demonstrate this, for our purposes, see It looks like progress, but when you look outside, it looks like it's going backwards.
After writing these, he had almost finished writing 1,500 words. Wang Sheng quickly turned to write about the pros and cons of launching a war.
The advantage is that foreign dynasties will not dare to invade, it can win the support of the people, and it can also develop the economy. The disadvantage is that it wastes people and money.
Wang Sheng summarized it again and put forward some suggestions in view of the waste of people and money.
Of course, the last and most important thing is to praise the emperor of the current dynasty for his wisdom and martial prowess. The above arguments are purely personal opinions. I am afraid of them. Please answer them carefully as above.
After writing this eloquently, time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to hand in the paper again.
Wang Sheng stood up and stretched his muscles. He had no free time to write these questions. He looked through the test paper again to see if he had violated any taboos. Then he calmed down and took a drink of water, waiting for the third test.
The title of this poem is also very interesting: "Everyone can be like YaoShun".
This sentence comes from "Mencius Gaozi Chapter 2". If there is no difficulty in the topic of policy, the difficulty lies in the title of poetry in the last volume.
After thinking about it, Wang Sheng decided to write this poem using the allusions of Qu Yuan carrying rice and Kong Rong giving pears, and supplemented by the vision of everyone doing good, starting from small things, and beautiful mountains and rivers.
This poem was written by him now, and it was worthy of being a test question in the college. There was no way to learn from it.
So when he put down his pen and checked whether there were any omissions, the drums sounded, and the yamen servant immediately jumped up. Collect the papers.
The court examination had to wait until the yamen checked whether all the answer papers were collected before leaving the Gongyuan. Wang Sheng stood aside to rest. Wang Yi came from nowhere and said, "Brother Sheng! "
Wang Sheng turned to look at him.
"That's it. I couldn't figure out how to write the last poem, so I changed the policy method to a poem and wrote it. . "
Wang Yi stood next to Wang Sheng and was about to cry without tears. Wang Sheng opened his mouth and comforted him: "It's okay, you and I don't know it, and others may not know it all, so relax. ”
“So I’ve thought about where we can go for a meal tomorrow to comfort my heart that was devastated by the hospital exam.” "
Wang Sheng couldn't help but smile, "Okay, okay. "
It seems that Wang Yi has adjusted his mentality well after passing the government examination. However, he was depressed by this question this time. It seems that this can't be the case anymore, Wang Sheng thought.
