After a writing class, the teachers and students of Yangzhou Fu School all felt that they had benefited a lot.
In fact, Xu He has only proposed two tips for the imperial examination so far.
The first is to insert yourself into reading and understanding, and the second is to write articles based on the current meaning.
To put it bluntly, many people may understand this truth, but Xu He made everyone feel that they had learned a vivid lesson by giving examples.
I won’t say whether he is still alive or not, but Xu He’s bowl of chicken soup really made everyone drunk.
After all, he had been taught a lot by his teachers from kindergarten to doctoral degree, and now he can master it with ease.
In the end, Xu He said: "As long as you work hard, most of my names as scholars from Yangzhou Prefecture will be included in next year's Guilin List!"
There are very few people who can study in a government school like Wu Decao, and most of them are still looking forward to the imperial examination. After drinking this bowl of chicken soup, the whole Minglun Hall was screaming and gearing up to study.
The tired academic style that had given Gao Bi a headache in the past seemed to have suddenly reversed.
A learning sharing conference and a learning conference were successfully concluded.
Xu He, the attached student, has completely made a name for himself in Yangzhou Fuxue.
Next, in addition to Linsheng, the teachers of Zengsheng and Episheng will take the students in their own classes back to the classroom.
Jiao Ze led a group of epiphytes back to Yuyingzhai. Gao Guoguang excitedly asked Xu He questions along the way.
Among them, only Wu Decao was lazy.
Someone who was in the same studio asked him: "Liang Sheng spoke so well today, isn't Brother Yaochen not touched after hearing it? We are in the same studio, we still need to strengthen each other and catch up with each other!"
Wu Decao glanced at the guy, and then said: "What do you know? Although Liangsheng Xiandi's words are good, they are actually just big principles. If you want to be a high school candidate, you can't be successful just by listening to his words. Recorded!”
After hearing this, all the disciples turned to look at Wu Decao, including Jiao Ze.
Jiao Ze had a headache for this old man in the government school, but he was not the kind of strict teacher. When he heard this, he blamed Wu Decao for venting everyone's enthusiasm, but he didn't want to rebuke him in person, so He could only hold back his blushes, shake his head and sigh as he walked.
Wu Decao did not avoid Xu He when he spoke, so Xu He naturally heard it.
However, not only was he not disgusted with Wu Decao's words, but he was surprised by his [lucidity in the world].
Indeed, the examination room is cruel. It does not mean that you will be rewarded for your hard work.
The person who suffered the most serious damage to the examination room was Liu Yong, who was removed by the emperor himself.
He had done well in the exam and was full of confidence. He once boasted to others, "I will definitely reach the top of the rankings." Unexpectedly, Song Renzong deposed him because he thought he was politically unqualified, and ordered: "Go ahead and sing in a low voice, why do you want to gain fame?"
After losing the contest, Liu Yong was disheartened and shameless, so he simply called himself "Liu Sanbian who wrote lyrics on orders". From then on, he wandered around brothels and restaurants without any scruples, devoting himself to the artistic creation of songs and lyrics.
The misfortune in the examination hall actually helped Liu Yong, a talented poet, to give full play to his artistic talent in the field of poetry creation.
"The Ring in the Rain" is sentimental, poignant and moving, parting and grieving, making people tear up; "Eight Sounds of Ganzhou" is painful and angry, with melancholy like water; "Looking at the Sea Tide" is so elaborate and beautiful that it actually attracted the donor Wanyan Liang to "throw the whip" The ambition to cross the river and mount Wushan."
For a time, "anyone who has a well to drink from can sing Liu lyrics", and Liu Yong became the "leading boss" of the Wanyue school.
It can be seen from this that no matter what kind of talented person you are, if you go to the examination room and the superiors say you are not good, you will not be able to do it, and you will not be able to do it.
Not only that, the imperial examination also depends on [fate].
When it comes to this point, Zuo Zongtang has the most say.
Zuo Zongtang, like Xu He, took the imperial examination at the age of fifteen.
Similarly, he got the first rank in the county examination and the first rank in the road examination.
But at that time, the examiner felt that Zuo was so young that it would make him proud to win two cases at once.
So Zuo Zongtang was pushed down one place and became second.
(Xu He would like to thank Lao Peng!)
Next, in the third scene, my mother passed away. I had to observe mourning for three years. When the three years were over, I was about to take the exam. My father passed away again at this juncture.
I have to wait another 27 months, and I am speechless.
Later, the family members felt that he was talented and learned, but it was not a problem that he was always stuck as a scholar. They simply pooled money to help him skip a grade and directly participate in the Jurenxiang Examination.
So everyone donated a supervisory student to Zuo Zongtang, which gave him a green channel to participate in the provincial examination.
Is Zuo Zongtang finally feeling proud this time?
He suddenly passed the exam and ranked 18th in the whole body.
But this result is also a fluke among flukes.
Perhaps because he had held it in for a long time, Zuo Zongtang’s article in this exam was unconventional and too impressive.
Several marking officers had very different opinions.
Everyone knows that for the imperial examination eight-part essay, it is best to write more hazy poems such as "A great virtue should not exceed leisure", but this fierce man went straight to the other side and wrote "Selecting soldiers, sharp soldiers, concise and concise, full-time and meritorious" article.
The marking officer at that time shook his head after reading the article. This little leftist wrote in the article how to select capable officials, how to train strong soldiers, and how to reuse the meritorious officials. This kind of article is in poor taste at first glance and belongs to a peddler. The [vulgar words] of those who are arrogant cannot reach the level of elegance.
So, the marking teacher did not hesitate to mark three big words on his test paper - "Not fluent", and then threw it into the wastebasket and drowned it.
But fortunately, this year coincides with the fiftieth birthday of Emperor Daoguang, which is [Wanshou Enke]. Originally, the number of places for Hunan to be admitted was seventeen. Now, "the emperor's favor is so great", six more places have been added, and the examiner himself will leave Six more papers were selected from the more than 5,000 papers.
Zuo’s article is one sixth of this.
But Zuo's luck was also exhausted this time.
When this man took the Jinshi examination, he wrote in the Dongting Jun's Ancestral Hall, "I have traveled three thousand miles away, and I am a passer-by; I have led eight hundred people in Chonghu, and you are also a scholar."
This couplet means that the road ahead is long and I am just a passerby; although you are in charge of the eight hundred miles of Dongting, you are just a scholar like me.
The subtext of this couplet is, how can I not be better at playing in the future?
Bullshit.
After this time, Zuo Zongtang failed in all three Jinshi examinations.
Later, this guy simply stopped taking the exam and complained all day long.
If it weren't for the recommendation of his friend Zeng Guofan, he would probably have been buried in the countryside for the rest of his life.
From this point of view, the requirements for luck in scientific examinations are also very important.
Fortunately, Xu He's literary fortune has been pretty good so far, but no one can guarantee that he will always be so lucky.
Xu He thought as he walked: "For today's plan, we can only cherish blessings and guard against arrogance and impetuosity!"
