Chapter 611
This question is always considered to be without the last scorn comment, which means that multiple-choice questions are formal scoring questions.
Actually, it is true that this question is not possible. Even if he is a fool, as long as he just ticked the alternative answer, even if the answer is completed, Yang Shenheng looked vertically and couldn't figure out which answer was correct. [..com]
It was not difficult for the fool to stump the talented man, which shows that the person who set the question also had some problems. Yang Shen complained indifferently, and then reluctantly called the first answer. Anyway, only the first two answers are more reliable, and the two behind... God, what are they and what are they!
He pinched his eyebrows in pain, and Yang Shen looked at the movements around him again. At this moment, he also understood why the invigilator here is not strict at all. With such a strange question, who can prepare a copy of the cheat sheet in a targeted manner?
Written articles? Classics of copying? Or are you looking around and copying other people's answers? It's all in vain. Unless you bring all the books on the market, you'll be fooled by anything you bring.
Therefore, Yang Shen was not afraid of looking around and being treated as cheating. If he didn't look at other people's status, he would really not be able to control his increasingly depressed mood.
Of course, there is no need to read the brother Shi sitting on the right. Although he did one more question, he looked at his shaking eyebrows and was overjoyed, and he was obviously still unsatisfied. How could he say that this person is unruly?
The one on the left was not very good at it. The little prince looked extremely focused, staring at the roll of paper without blinking, and the charcoal pen in his hand was constantly, obviously he was firmly attracted by the questions given by the mathematics school and was working hard to solve the difficult questions.
Most of the normal scholars are like Yang Shen, either looking around and looking for some comfort; or looking at the roll of paper with a frown, looking at the lawsuit; occasionally a few people gritted their teeth and muttered words, but they didn't know who they were scolding. According to Yang Shen's guess, they were probably scolding the examiner who set the questions, but... that was an insult to the emperor, and they also needed to be careful in their words and actions.
Seeing the reactions of others, Yang Shen suddenly thought about it. He was an open-minded person. With the example of Li Zhaoxian, he felt that he had figured out something.
The emperor has always been known for his wild style. No one can keep up with his ideas except Xie Hong. Therefore, instead of thinking about the profound meaning of the questioner, it is better to answer according to his original intention. The academy spent so much time and energy to pick up scholars for the emperor and talents for the country. How could it be just a joke?
He is strong, just like the breeze blowing on the hills, he is strong, just like the bright moon shining on the river, just like the spoofing, I think of myself as clouds, let him go, let him go... So Yang Shen realized the truth at the fortress.
This enlightenment is not difficult for those originally strange topics. Isn’t it just that I have any opinions on the current foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty?
Very good? Almost? Can you improve it slowly?
What strange! If the emperor thinks it is good, how could he treat North Korea and Ryukyu like that? What kind of Japanese Governor's Office is established?
Obviously, the emperor wanted to ask someone to choose the last answer. The big fist is the hard truth. If you don’t accept it, you will be able to impress him. Look, what a distinctive style of righteousness is it. Yang Shen waved his pen and directly took it. His appearance was as calm as his master in the cabinet.
Not just...
Yang Dacai wrote as if he was awesome and quickly completed all the multiple-choice questions. The next question is the short answer question.
After reading the first question of the short answer question, Yang Shen's expression became solemn, not because the question was too strange, but the other way around. The question suddenly became serious, and even surprised him a little.
"The ancients said: Let old people have something to do, and strong people have something to do..." First, he quoted a saint's words. This is the first time in this test paper.
“……………Q: How can we have a good time to be able to support ourselves?”
This topic is so big that it is enough to be used as the theme of the imperial examination. If it were in the past, Yang Shen would naturally quote the classics and write a piece of article, detailing the clichés of using the Tao of the sages to educate the people, make everyone polite, abide by morality, and then achieve great harmony in the world.
However, even if he did not consider the emperor's disdain for etiquette, as long as he thought about Tianjin's experience, Yang Shen knew that the answer in the past was incorrect.
Morality is a good thing, but this thing is only suitable as your own code of conduct and not as demanding others, let alone the court demands the people. In fact, if you strictly pursue it, the saint's words themselves have many contradictions.
Confucius often used fame and fortune to teach his disciples, but in fact, what did this Confucian saint travel to various countries back then? Wasn’t it just to seek a job and gain a fortune?
Scholars may argue that Confucius was seeking blessings for the people of the world after he entered politics. However, wasn’t this master the man who went to Weiguo and surrendered to the lucky eunuch Changqu, who was lucky to Duke Ling of Wei? Isn’t it just for the purpose of seeking an official position?
The Ji family's retainer Gongshan Buyu plotted to rebel with Yang Hu. Gongshan Buyu sent someone to invite Confucius. As a result, he was eager to try again. If Zilu hadn't tried his best to stop him, and the two people who were plotting against each other quickly failed, they might have been killed by someone as a rebel.
Both Zhengde and Xie Hong do not read the books of sages, and they do not know these allusions, but who is Yang Shen? This prodigy has been reading classics since childhood and has had doubts about these allusions. At that time, a teacher taught him the questions and did not study them in depth. But at this time, his concepts had changed. How could he still have the same ideas as before?
After thinking for a long time, Yang Shen wrote two words next to the title. Of course, he used not a charcoal pen, but a brush. These two words contained his strong emotions, so they were also rich ink and colorful, and they penetrated the back of the paper.
There are more than one serious question. It can be said that all the short answer questions are in a similar style. Not only is Yang Shen's expression solemn, but the pen in Li Zhaoxian's hand also slowed down. When he frowned and thought, the rich solemn expression between his eyebrows was completely different from Yang Shen. Obviously, the prime minister's son was not completely a cynical liar.
"There are vast territory and endless wealth overseas. If you want to seize it, what is the best way to do it?"
"Some people in the world are rich but not applicable, and some are poor but good at managing. How can they get their own things and not waste them?"
Such questions are endless. It is simple at first glance, but when you think deeply, it is a mystery - Infinite· Yang Shen compared and compared them one by one with his experiences in Tianjin. He even felt that the knowledge in it was profound. Not to mention one or two hours, even if he spent his whole life, he might not be able to find the most correct answer.
Linking these seemingly simple questions is actually the way to govern the country and ensure the stability of the country that scholars and officials talk about every day, but the scholars and officials rarely study it. It is enough to exploit or enslave the people in the name of morality, so why should we study such profound problems? Isn’t it better to use that time to do some romance?
The change of concepts was so sudden and so thorough. Even Yang Shen himself was surprised. Perhaps from the moment he stepped onto the world of Tianjin, he was destined to follow his former self and his former beliefs in one stroke, and then retreat to the north?
The short answer question is much more difficult than the previous question, and Yang Shen is also unable to determine the answer to many questions, but his spirit is getting more and more excited and his emotions are getting more and more excited.
It was really right to come to the academy. Although Governor Xie acted a bit extreme, his understanding of the way of governing the country was profound and profound. Even if his ability was limited to asking these questions, it was enough to be commendable.
It doesn’t matter if there is no answer. As long as you, as long as you are present and the candidates and students who are not present, as long as you are in the foreseeable future, you will continue to join the colleagues in this academy. As long as someone continues to explore with the heart of serving the country and the people, there will always be a day when the clouds clear and the moon is bright. Yang Shen believes in this.
With this understanding and looking at the test paper again, Yang Shen suddenly realized that the questions in the first half of the test paper were all given by the emperor and the second half was given by Xie Hong, so the style was very different.
Yang Shen couldn't figure out whether the questions that the emperor had in the previous chapter had profound meanings. However, he was sure that Mr. Xie's attitude towards obtaining scholars and studying the avenue of governing the country was quite rigorous and serious. Otherwise, he would not have even questioned the new policies he had set.
"Many well-known that the problem of ** is extremely difficult to eradicate. Even if Taizu intimidates it with torture, it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. During the Hongwu period, all kinds of gray incomes were popular in the court and the country, and then it became even more out of control. For example, today, new policies were implemented in Tianjin and other places, and officials and others were all enthusiastic and selfless, but..."
This is the last short answer question, and the longest question, and it covers a wide range of areas. Even if it was just started, Tianjin’s new policy was taken as an example.
"As the saying goes, "Strong cannot be long, soft cannot be kept. Only by enthusiasm can one maintain ethics at the beginning, but over time, people's hearts will inevitably be slack. After the enthusiasm fades, the disease will inevitably be reborn. Since the candidates are determined to be political, how can this disease be solved?"
In Yang Shen's mind, the image of Tianjin officials was extremely tall. The integrity and integrity of those people were only comparable to those officials in the prosperous era recorded in ancient books. If he hadn't known that the same person who set the questions and governed, such a problem would be considered self-denial, and he even had the urge to slap the table and yell at the angrily rebuke.
But when I calmed down, this concern made sense. During the dynasties and dynasties, there will usually be a prosperous scene during the founding of the country, which may not be as good as Tianjin, but it is enough for people to pass on from generation to generation and talk about it.
When Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, entered Guanzhong, he also used three rules to win over the hearts of the people and then used this as the foundation to unify the world. However, the laws subsequently became increasingly severe, and the bureaucrats once again stood opposite the people. Corruption could not even be considered offended, which caused countless chaos, and finally ended the four hundred years of rule of the Han Empire in the smoke of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The other founding monarchs were not much different from Liu Bang. They initially fought for the purpose of reigning the world. Even if they were considering more about their own wealth, even if they were just acting, they had to act like this, otherwise they would not be able to gather the hearts of the people and transform them into strength to wipe out the world.
However, no matter how noble the original purpose is, as long as decades pass, the bureaucrats will quickly fall into depravity. Corruption is just a small part of the crime. Annexing the land and oppressing the good will lead to the opposition to the people in the shortest time, and will even be more despicable and degenerate than the enemies they were defeated by them at the time.
This seems to be a dead knot.
The solution to Confucian academics is to strengthen education for the people and strive to improve the self-cultivation of officials. According to them, as long as this can be done, society will be harmonious.
However, for thousands of years, this farce has been repeated and never stopped. The people may not have enough understanding of this, but there are still many knowledgeable people who see it, but there are only no solution.
No matter who it is, as long as he wants to solve this problem, an extremely powerful opponent will appear in front of him. Even if he is in a high position, even if he holds heavy troops, or even sits high on the dragon throne, he will still be defeated in front of this opponent.
Because what he has to face is the entire bureaucratic class, these people are like a group of evil dogs. If anyone dares to touch the flesh in their mouths, they will definitely fight back with sharp teeth and claws.
Yang Shen thought about it, but couldn't think of a solution at all. He originally thought that the administration of Tianjin was already smart enough, and it would be enough as long as it was maintained. But when he realized that even the most honest bureaucrats could fall, he was confused. Is there really a way to solve this problem?
He wanted to know the answer very much, and his idea of studying in the academy became even more eager. He raised his head and looked north. Even though he could not see anything through the walls of the theater, Yang Shen was thinking about it. He firmly believed that there would be an answer there.
You can't relax after finishing the short answer questions, because there are still some below, otherwise how can you say there are many questions? However, Yang Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the beginning and vaguely remembered that the last question was also a multiple-choice question, and it was a multiple-choice question with uncertain terms. He now has the experience of taking exams. The fewer answers to choose from, the simpler the question is.
However, when he looked carefully, he almost exclaimed. Why did the style change back to the end? No, it wasn't it changed back to it. This style is even more weird than the emperor's wild and imaginative style.
Although the emperor's questions were strange, if you think about them carefully, there were traces to follow. Yang Shen even made some guesses in a vague way, but he had to read Journey to the West before he could make a conclusion.
But now these are just a cow's lips and a horse's mouth!
"You walk to the end of the city and there is an exit, and you continue walking forward and out of the city. Outside the city, you see a large garden, and you see a box on the ground. What size is this box? Please choose between the small, medium and large three items."
Damn, is this a tongue twister? Yang Shen couldn't help but curse and swear in his heart.
"What material is this box made of? Please choose among paper, wood, and metal."
...and so on.
There is no way there is an accurate answer at all. Yang Shen looked at Li Zhaoxian again. His brother was scratching his scalp. This was the first time he showed this expression in the exam. Obviously, he was in trouble, and 80% of it was still the same trouble as himself.
However, Li Zhaoxian is worthy of being the Great Hero of Li. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then began to answer. Looking at his flowing movements, it was obvious that... he moved casually.
OK, Yang Shen also understood it. Since that's the case, I'll answer as much as possible.
Chapter completed!
