This state examination also took four subjects in total, which were the four mentioned earlier. Because the poems were relatively simple, only one hour was given.

After the poetry and essay exam, there is half an hour to rest, during which candidates can eat something to communicate.

Because this poem is not difficult, I just write about early summer. No matter what, the candidates can write it. Most of them have the same level, and no one will really be worse than anyone else.

So after coming out, people who are familiar with each other gathered together. Although some people complained and regretted during the discussion, they were not as serious as they were in their hearts.

"...Brother Yunfei, the way of poetry is your strength, and the topic you put out today is not very difficult. Brother Yunfei will be able to shine this time and overwhelm the heroes..."

Shen Ming bowed to Li Chang and congratulated him.

Li Chang was also very happy. After arriving today, he really had an idea and wrote a good poem, which was almost the same as his best works before.

At this time, Shen Ming's words happened to his heart, but it is hard to boast too much about such things, and he can't speak too much, just smiled and said:

"Yu Cheng was joking. Today, the state exam took the exam together in Dongping Prefecture. There were as many as 400 candidates, including many people with hidden tigers and hidden dragons. Although I also wrote poems that are worthy of my eyes, how dare I underestimate these many students? Yu Cheng should not say that."

Shen Ming smiled and reached out to hold him and smiled, "Humility, humility. With my understanding of you, this poem is not just as simple as it can be seen, right?

Look at the wrinkles in the corners of your eyes that were laughing are revealed…”

Half an hour passed, Wang Qing said goodbye to Tang Long and followed everyone to the examination room. After experiencing a check procedure that was exactly the same as before, he sat down in front of his seat again.

The subjects for this exam are policy theory.

To put it bluntly, the so-called strategy theory is actually not much different from the "essay theory" in the civil service examination today. It means that the examiner raises specific questions about current affairs and asks the candidates to answer.

The candidate's answer is called 'countermeasure'

Generally speaking, the countermeasure is a thousand-character text. Of course, there are also many people who think about writing tens of thousands of words in a scattered manner.

Today's policy discussion has been raised - "Jin Wu pacified Wu and defeated him by his own decision, Fu Jian defeated Jin and died by his own decision; Qi Huan was appointed Guan Zhong and was overlord, and Yan Kuai was appointed as Zi and was defeated, and the same thing was done but different achievements were made, so why?'

Wang Qing has good eyesight and can take the questions into his eyes by sitting there at a glance. He is not like a few older scholars who stretched their necks and squinted their eyes, and finally he had to ask the examiner to read the questions.

This question is sharp, and it directly points the finger at the advantages and disadvantages of autocracy. The examiner is quite bold!

In the past, Wang Qing looked down on the imperial examinations, especially after reading "Fan Jin passed the examination", he felt a lot of disgusted with him.

Now that I have come to the Song Dynasty, I have personally prepared for nearly nine months. After a deep understanding, I feel that my previous views are a bit superficial.

Not to mention the rest, just today's question of directly attacking authoritarianism can be enough to see a lot of things from it.

Wang Qing looked around quietly. Most of the candidates looked serious on their faces, and the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before when they took the poems and essays.

Wang Qing looked at the topic, thought carefully for a while, and wrote, "I heard that justice is in the world and cannot be blocked for a day. Therefore, the prime minister is responsible for the supreme and cleansing it up."

However, those who support justice are the responsibility of the prime minister, while those who master justice are the affairs of the emperor.

If the emperor invades the power of the prime minister, then justice will be gone.

The three provinces of Privy Council are called the court, and the emperor plans great policies and gives birth to great orders.

The government orders did not come from the Secretariat. In the past, people called it a slanted seal of ink and imperial edicts, which was not a prosperous event.

The three provincial affairs of the country were very upright. The Secretary of the Central Committee made his orders and reviewed the subordinates, and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty followed them. All the affairs of the palace were unified by the prime minister.

Therefore, Li Xian still received the imperial edict to burn the concubine, Wang Dan still was able to eliminate the decree of Ju Jiedu, Han Qi still issued a short order to expel the eunuch, and Du Yan still had to return the imperial eunuch to surrender to the internal sacrificial eunuch.

If the prime minister is respected, then justice will be established according to the basis...'

Wang Qing thought about sorting out his ideas while lifting his pen and writing.

To be honest, he didn't like being too authoritarian, especially in ancient times, it was a bit too ridiculous to concentrate the power of the whole world in the hands of the emperor alone.

When the emperor is talented and has great strategies, he can naturally rely on centralization to mobilize the strength of the whole country, use his strength to do big things, promote the development of things, and enhance national strength.

But among the hundreds of emperors throughout the ages, how many of these are there?

Generally speaking, except for the founding emperors, you can count to two or three generations. If you count later, you will basically be worse than the previous generation.

Of course, there are exceptions for Liu Che and the son of the plane.

When the emperor does not have the ability to match it and still has to centralize power desperately, it is a disastrous problem for the entire country.

In a system that disperses imperial power and avoids too concentrated power, the prime minister system is the most effective one.

As for Wang Qing, he personally did not agree with the fact that the Ming Taizu deposed the prime minister and established the Three Divisions.

The Ming Taizu was very talented and had a great strategy. When he was reborn, he would naturally not have to use the prime minister, but looking back, the situation was a bit unoptimistic.

Later, the power of the prime minister actually fell into the hands of eunuchs.

Although it means that the eunuchs in the court are more loyal and listen to their masters, the most important thing is that not many eunuchs are talented. Unlike those senior officials in the court, most of them are selected after layers of selection and multiple trainings, and there is real things in their stomachs...

Of course, this is just some of his personal opinions, and it is not counted. When I took the exam today, I happened to encounter such a question, so I thought more.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty was relatively relaxed in this regard. In the palace examination, Su Che directly pointed the finger at the reign of Song Renzong, and scolded the emperor but it was nothing. Now he is just taking a small state examination. It seems that nothing can be done if he says something like this is not out of line.

Of course, if it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties now, he would not have said that if he was beaten to death.

The entire examination room was in deep thought, and there was nothing else except the sound of writing.

Of course, there are also many people who have poor ideas. If you write a few words, stop writing and think about it for a while.

Li Chang's idea today is pretty good. He held the pen and wrote without raising his head.

He had thought about similar questions before, so after seeing the topic today, he was full of joy and thought that this time it was really God's help.

It took about half of the time before he finished answering, put down his pen, and carefully checked both sides. After he had made no mistakes, he let go of his holding breath.

Sitting there, looking around, all of whom were writing, and of course, there were some exceptions, such as the short madman, who was sitting there in a daze.

He had no intention of looking at Wang Qing before, so he naturally would not notice his previous actions. When he saw this, he only thought that Wang Qing had not started writing yet.

He smiled slightly in his heart, sat here for a while, and handed in the paper...
Chapter completed!
