Wang Sheng finished writing and checking, and was thinking about the ideas and strategies for tomorrow's test.
Theory and strategy are not completely different, but they can be said to be slightly different.
The discussion mainly discusses the students’ explanation and understanding of the governance issues. Policy, that is, policy questions, examines the views of students on issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Wang Sheng’s government examination and county examination tested the content of policy questions, combining the test questions with local conditions, while the college examination tested the content of theory.
However, after checking many rural examination records, he was surprised to find that only the governance and ethics tests were examined in the form of theory, while the content of the policy questions not only included the first two, but also the economics Financial management, military strategy, culture and education, etc., all of them have been published.
"Dong——"
This sound is to remind candidates that they can hand in their papers.
If a candidate has not copied the last question on the answer sheet by dusk, the yamen will send a candle. If he has not answered all the questions, the paper will be blank and he will not be able to take the exam. During an exam, the inspector will order someone to help him out of the exam room.
After being reminded, Wang Sheng checked it again and raised a sign to signal the officer receiving the file to come and collect the file.
While there is still some light, I will do some trivial things, including but not limited to eating, using the toilet, washing hands, washing face and mouth, and placing the table in the corresponding position. Take out the mosquito repellent sachet from the basket and place it in the corner.
After he finished all this, the remaining light of the setting sun had dissipated. The yamen officials held torches, and the examiner collected the papers. The yamen servants then stepped forward to clean up the ashes left by the candles. , to avoid fire.
Wang Sheng didn't know if the other candidates would make other noises at night, causing him to have trouble sleeping, so he could only take the lead, cover himself with a thin quilt, and prepare for sleepiness.
Fortunately, the surrounding noise was reduced to rustling shortly after the winding up.
He fell asleep peacefully with this natural white noise.
On August 12, it was almost the full moon, so the moon and stars were scarce, and the sky was illuminated by the bright moon.
But some things happen quietly where the moonlight cannot reach.
In the reading room, a reading officer lowered his head and suddenly lay down on the table without even yawning.
After a long time, he felt discomfort in his back. He woke up suddenly, straightened his back, and asked the reading officer opposite in a panic: "Lu Duidu, why didn't you remind me just now? Why did you just let me lie here? Are you asleep?"
Lu Duidu's eyes widened and he immediately responded: "Luo Duidu, Luo Chongyue, you suddenly fell down during the Duidu, no matter how hard I slapped you, it didn't help."
p>He paused for a moment and emphasized in a slightly shocked tone: "Is it possible that you want me to inform the examiner about this and let him punish you for dereliction of duty? Don't forget, this is not a crime. It's a small thing, maybe you and IPeople will be demoted to officials because of this. "
I have tried my best to come here to be a reading officer. Naturally, I want to be promoted based on my reading experience, instead of being demoted again and again.
Lu Yuan As soon as he said this, Luo Chongyue silently checked the red scrolls he was responsible for. Fortunately, the red scrolls were still in their original positions as before falling asleep.
After checking, he whispered: "I have offended Duo just now, please forgive me, Brother Lu. "
Lu Yuan waved his hand, with a slight smile on his face, and responded softly: "You and I are here for our Yue Dynasty and for the sake of the current Holy Emperor. No need to say more. The most important thing now is to finish reading these ink scrolls and red scrolls and send them to the examiner. ”
“What Brother Lu said is absolutely true. "
Luo Chongyue responded and immediately got involved in the reading.
Wang Sheng did not know what happened during the reading.
This chapter is not finished. , click on the next page to continue reading.
He went to bed early, woke up on time, finished washing, put the sachet and the board back in place, and sat there flexing his fingers to prepare for the exam.
p>"Boom——"
The yamen servant beat the gong, and the candidates who were sleeping were also awakened by the huge noise, and immediately got up to prepare.
Of course. , Naturally, there are also candidates who are deeply asleep.
At this time, the yamen officials do not meet the prerequisites. If they wake up before the exam papers are handed out, even if they do not have time to wash up, they are really lucky. Before he got up, this candidate would also be helped out of the examination room.
By chance, a candidate not far from Wang Sheng ruined his chance to take the provincial examination. < /p>
He watched the man being helped out, feeling grateful that he woke up early.
Wang Sheng opened the paper and looked at the title, which should be "On". /p>
“A benevolent person regards all things in the world as one. "
Wang Sheng could not find the source of this sentence in the books he read, but he could clearly feel that the thought he conveyed was "all things are one."
He thought for a moment and decided to focus on the word "benevolence" to start his discussion.
There are many references to the idea of "benevolence" in the Four Books and Five Classics. After struggling, Wang Sheng chose "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius". "The relevant content will be dismantled and detailed.
Because if we only talk about "benevolence" without talking about how to do "benevolence", we will not achieve the unity of all things.
He first briefly described the relevant content in the Four Books and Five Classics. Therefore, "Benevolence" is a trend vane for many students. Benevolence should be worthy of pursuit by contemporary Confucian students, and "taking all things in the world as one" is the lofty realm pursued by benevolence. .
However, not everyone is a benevolent person. Wang Sheng made a point, starting from the "four hearts" mentioned by Mencius, proving that everyone has selfish thoughts, but how to put personal thoughts into perspective?Combining selfishness with the needs of the day is what a benevolent person should do.
When Wang Sheng was discussing how to be a benevolent person, he used Confucius' "A gentleman has three fears" to explain that as a benevolent person, the first thing to do is to respect the laws of nature, that is, the destiny of heaven. By the way, he also explained what fear of the destiny of destiny is not. We don’t have to do anything, but we must comply with the rules and the aspirations of the people.
Secondly, "benevolence" not only includes benevolent people, but also benevolent government. Here I cleverly use the words of "Mencius Gongsun Chou": "If you are king through benevolent government, no one can control it." To further demonstrate.
Of course, it is not enough to talk about benevolence and benevolent government. The foothold should be one.
Whether it is a benevolent person or a benevolent government, it is essentially to make the people of Yue Dynasty live better.
We are originally one. Whether we are from poor families or ordinary people and refugees, we are all our people. We must work together to make due contributions to the prosperity of our country.
"The people are my compatriots; the things are with me."
Wang Sheng ended by borrowing a sentence he had read.
After checking it, he found that the process had not changed as it had the day before.
In a moment, the afternoon rural examination paper was sent to Wang Sheng.
He was surprised to find that the afternoon rural examination paper was not about the policy question part as he thought, but the law part, which is the "judgment", and there were five more questions!
Fortunately, Wang Sheng had already prepared beforehand. After the signal to start the exam was sent, he found the corresponding laws and wrote them down one by one.
