All senior generals were dismissed overnight in the Song Dynasty. The people were inevitably a little frightened and speculated about the earth-shaking political struggles that occurred at the upper class.

Sun Yue knew that releasing military power with a cup of wine was just the first step in Zhao Kuangyin's drastic reform of the country in order to bid farewell to the chaos of the Five Dynasties.

But what does all this have to do with him? At least for the time being, this matter is just gossip news for him, and dealing with Tong Ju is his main business.

At this time, Sun Yue was much more active and urgent than before. Who made him have a father who played with fire? God knows when Zhao Kuangyin will know about him and Fu family, and God knows what his specific attitude would be. Sun Yue should quickly get a Jinshi exam, so that he would be considered a scholar-official.

So, when Sun Yue walked into the Political Affairs Hall of the Secretariat with such a determination that he would succeed if he was not successful, he could not stop smiling.

The biggest difference between Tong Ju and the scientific examination is that after the examination, there is no need to do the test papers. Instead, the prime ministers in the Secretariat verbally examine the knowledge of all the boys, verbally give comments and suggestions for official positions, and then report them to the officials. After all, Tong Ju's purpose is to find a prodigy. The fifteen-year-old Lu Mengzheng could not enjoy the same difficulty as the five-year-old Wang Dan in the topic.

The reason why Sun Yue laughed was because when he looked up, the three people sitting in the head of the Political Affairs Hall were Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu.

The three of them must have no real power, but after all, their official positions are there, and their fame and knowledge are not comparable to other priests, so their opinions are very important on this issue that has nothing to do with real power.

This is just two words for Sun Yue: It’s stable.

During the exam, Wang Dan started with the youngest Wang Dan. He asked questions from the Book of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius. All the questions were memorized by rote and did not involve meaning. Wang Dan also answered one by one. The prime ministers nodded with satisfaction and then began to ask some of the Six Classics. Although most of Wang Dan could not answer, he still answered quite a few of them. The prime ministers nodded in praise, and even the candidates secretly admired them. They didn't have this ability when they were five years old.

After the exam, Wang Pu randomly gave a question and asked Wang Dan to write a poem. Even if he finished the exam, of course, his level of poetry was not very good.

It was Sun Yue's turn, and the rhythm at the beginning was the same as Wang Dan. He also casually intercepted the endorsement and exam in the Analects of Confucius. Sun Yue answered fluently, but not long after, Wei Renpu couldn't help it and interrupted, "Brother Wang, don't ask this child for such a simple thing, let me ask."

"Oh? Please, Mr. Wei."

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Wei Renpu's mouth, making Sun Yue feel shocked.

"In any battle, first, there will be disadvantages, then there will be deterrence; what is the next sentence?"

Sun Yue replied: "If you stop, you will be lazy. If you stop, you will be a disadvantage. If you stop for a long time, you will be a deterrent."

"Can you understand the righteousness?"

"It means that when fighting, when doing things too early, it will easily exhaust the troops, and when acting too late, it will easily make the army timid. Just paying attention to rest will make the army slack, and not resting will inevitably make the army slack, but after resting for a long time, it will become timid."

“Can you give actual cases?”

"The Battle of Julu can prove this."

"Where is the strange and righteous person who divides into changes?"

"Anyone who is good at using military forces is righteous and strange, making the enemy unpredictable, so the right one is victorious, and the strange one is victorious. The people of the three armies only know their victory, but no one knows how to win, and they can achieve success without changing. How can they achieve this?"

Wei Renpu nodded with satisfaction and asked many questions again, all of which were what he had taught Sun Yue on weekdays. From Sima Fa to Li Weigong, to the Six Strategies and Formation Records, Sun Yue was sweating coldly. You know that he hadn't reviewed for a long time. Recently, he was preparing for Tong Ju. I have never heard of Tong Ju taking the exam for military strategy!

When Fan Zhi saw Wei Renpu asking, he couldn't help it. He personally took the exam for the criminal law, and then Wang Pu again. After a while, Sun Yue only answered more than 80% because he hadn't reviewed his homework much recently. Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw that the three teachers had a little displeasure on their faces, and he couldn't help but feel bitter.

He felt bitter in his heart, and the other candidates in the Child Jue were all cold. He was almost fainted if he had poor psychological qualities.

Is this the right difficulty for the Tong Ju? What a joke! You should know that among these candidates, like Lu Mengzheng, who are also those who are aiming for the Jinshi, and those who are aiming for the Ming Sutra and know all the nine sutras. But why can't they even understand the questions that the prime ministers tested?

This guy is only eight years old! He took such a difficult test at the age of eight, so they still got a bad test, especially because this guy clearly responded with a flurry of answers, Sanxiang still looked dissatisfied. Oh my God! They felt that they couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe their mood at this time.

The other priests' reactions were similar, and they stared at each other, completely confused. There were so many test questions that they didn't know even! Is this really here to take the Tong Ju exam?

Only Lu Meng knew Sun Yue's background and did not think about it, but he had to smile bitterly. These three prime ministers clearly regarded this child as a random test. He asked himself that he was excellent and never convinced in terms of talent, but after knowing Sun Yue, he realized that the gap between this person is sometimes really natural.

When Sun Yue finally finished answering the question tremblingly, he broke out in a cold sweat, but Wei Renpu snorted coldly and said, "Please, young people should not waste their studies because of their playfulness, do you know?"

"yes."

"Write a poem."

"Please give me a question."

"Since today is a test of children, you can write a poem with the title of child prodigy."

child prodigy?

Poems and essays for the imperial examinations are generally used to express one's aspirations, while prodigy is a relatively easy-to-answer question.

The most important thing is that he happened to know that a ready-made masterpiece was also written by a child prodigy in the Northern Song Dynasty. The name is the child prodigy poem. With a little modification, why is it so appropriate to use it? Given that he did not seem to satisfy the three teachers in the previous school exam, he decided to copy it simply at this critical moment:

You must study hard when you are young, and you can establish yourself in your writing;

Zhu Zigui in the court was all scholars.

Knowledge is diligent, and thousands of books are written in the window of fireflies;

Three winters are enough to use, who will smile and be empty?

He has been very talented since childhood and has a high ambition throughout his life;

When others hold swords, I have a pen like a knife.

He was a farmer in the morning and climbed to the emperor's hall in the evening;

If a general or a minister has no race, men should be self-reliant.

……………(The full text of the child prodigy's poem is more than 1,000 words, so I can't copy all the words to cheat)

This child prodigy poem is one of Sun Yue’s favorite long works in his previous life. After many years, although he can’t remember the latter part clearly, at least he still remembers the classic part in the previous one.

As soon as the poem was released, even the Sanxiang was a little stupid. They naturally knew Sun Yue's talent and talent in poetry and prose, but they were a little confused about this super long poem. The difficulty was far beyond the comparison of short poems. In fact, almost no one had played such long poems at the beginning of the Song Dynasty at this time. Sun Yue's move almost created a new literary form in the literary world.

In response to this, the candidates who participated in the Tong Ju, including Lu Meng, only one word can describe the feelings in their hearts:

grass!
