On February 15th, the candidates' faces were obviously much more relaxed when they entered the venue.
If I was still a little nervous in the second game, by the third game, my fate had already been decided.
In the second game, Xu He suspected that Wu Xingbang was causing trouble, so after returning, he solemnly reminded Xie Liangcai and Ouyang Jun that they must not relax.
Even the third scene must be written with the same concentration as Shouyi.
When I arrived at the third session, I just sat down after the inspection. Not long after, the test papers for the third session were handed out.
At this moment, even the little officials who handed out papers no longer had the same feeling of facing a formidable enemy that they had in the first game.
They handed out papers with a smile, and sometimes even joked or laughed with the candidates. When the censors and buglers in the alley saw this happening, no one paid attention.
When Xu He got the paper, there were a lot of words on it.
The third test was [Policy], with a total of five questions.
Ce is a very ancient question. In the Han Dynasty, when testing scholars, questions were asked about political affairs, classics and meanings, etc., and were written on simple policies for the candidates to answer, so it was called Ce questions.
This is where the term "countermeasure" comes from in later generations.
In September of the 15th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he ordered the princes, princes, ministers, governors, and governors to appoint virtuous people who could speak out and give advice to the court personally.
There were more than a hundred countermeasures, and Chao Cuo was ranked first in the examination, and was promoted to the rank of middle doctor by the prince's family.
This is the beginning of policy theory in Chinese history.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he issued an imperial edict to inquire about the virtuous.
Later, Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu both made progress.
There are two types of strategies. In addition to countermeasures, there are also shooting strategies.
The countermeasure was for the emperor to publish the questions and let the candidates answer them.
In the shooting test, a number of questions are made into question cards, and the test takers can draw them at will, and they can answer whatever questions are drawn.
Dong Zhongshu used countermeasures to become the Prime Minister of Jiangdu, and Erkuan used shooting strategies to supplement Taichang Zhangguo. They were both famous cases in the Han Dynasty where testing strategies was used to judge scholars.
In the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination policy took shape.
You may say that Emperor Sui Yang was a foolish emperor, but he was actually a very capable and accomplished emperor.
He first established the Jinshi Department, which was to use trial strategies to select scholars.
Therefore, when the imperial examination system first appeared, policy was actually the content of the examination.
In this dynasty, Taizu proposed that in the imperial examinations, "we should focus on historical and current affairs to observe political affairs."
Therefore, the important items of the examination were singled out in the provincial examinations and meetings during this dynasty.
Not only do you have to take the provincial examination and the general examination, but you also have to take the imperial examination.
Generally, the test strategy will have as few as three questions and as many as five questions. Generally, the best answer will be four questions.
So when Xu He got the test paper and saw the questions above, he was dumbfounded.
Wu Xingbang asked five questions in total.
I wonder if Wu Xingbang held back for a long time and did not become the president of the conference, so he acted independently?
There is still a flaw in personality, so let’s take revenge on society.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw the five questions appearing on the test paper, there was a lot of wailing around Xu He.
Xu He didn't pay attention to the complaints of these scholars. Instead, he went over the key points of the test in his mind.
To be honest, he pays more attention to eight-part essay writing on weekdays, and does not spend much energy on it.
The way to solve the problem in the test is to ask questions while discussing. Generally, no question can exceed 300 words.
Candidates answer each item one by one according to the questions. There is a special term here called item pairs.
In other words, candidates’ papers also have scores.
The order in which the examiner sets the questions is the order in which you answer them.
If you write a lot of random things at once, then - 0 points.
Although the second and third games are not as important as the first, if you score 0 points, it is impossible to win.
The style of the exam is also very particular.
The policies and articles of the Han Dynasty were all about saying what you have to say, saying what you have to say, expressing your feelings directly, and telling the truth.
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, parallel people were advocated and their literary talents were used to impress people.
This dynasty is different from the previous dynasty. The questions in the examination room are messy and messy. There are many articles, but if they are really useful, they only have two or four words.
However, when answering policy questions correctly, although literary talent is valued, one must also tell the truth and not use empty sentences to cover up blame.
This is what the saying goes: "Judgments must be based on the laws, and policies must be based on the past."
Xu He recalled the key points of the exam, then opened the test paper and read it calmly.
I saw it written above:
Question: My great ancestor, Emperor Gao, ordered the Confucian officials to compile two records, Cun Xin and Sheng Gong. All the emperors in the past dynasties felt the disaster and auspiciousness during their sacrifices, and those who responded to the misfortune and auspiciousness on their ministers since the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties are all recorded...
I dare to ask you scholars, do you know if there is anyone today who can help alleviate the worries of Xiaozhi? Is there anyone who can help me? If you have any, please present it and I will forward it to you.
Good guys, this first question is a proposition.
The general meaning is that Zhang Shicheng asked people to compile two books, which told many stories of disasters and auspiciousness coming true to his ministers.
So is there anything happening in this regard now?
If so, please write it down and I will hand it over to the higher-ups for research.
What the hell...
If you dare to write in the trial policy: "There is a minister named Qin who is not a human son..."
Tomorrow you will appear at the Sanfa Company's public trial meeting.
No need to ask, this title is written as auspicious! Also praise the ministers.
Who is singing the praises?
Someone from Qin must mention it, but the comrade who is mainly praised is someone from Wu!
Second question:
Question: In "Tai", "Ninety-two Peng's Death" and "Bao Huang" are both called together, and in "Hongfan", the Five Emperors also use "Peng's Adultery" as a warning.
Saints have deep concerns about the world.
In the Ganling branch, Niu and Li fought for power, and the mistakes made in the Han and Tang Dynasties can serve as a permanent lesson.
How come the people of the Song Dynasty refused to take warning and were willing to do so?
…
In particular, the gains and losses of previous generations of monarchs and ministers are similar and different from those of previous sages. Those who have enough experience to draw lessons from the world must not fail to talk about them. Therefore, I would like to discuss it with all the scholars.
This question is easy to understand later, but the first sentence requires some cultural foundation.
"Tai" refers to the 92nd line of the Tai hexagram: Bao Huang, use Feng He, don't leave behind, friends will die, and you will still be in Zhongxing.
Ninety-two: Baohuang, use Fenghe, do not leave, friends die, and you have to stay in Zhongxing.
The explanation is: tolerate the wilderness, walk across rivers, never lose friends in remote places, and never form cliques for selfish interests. This is the code of conduct of Zhongzheng.
Ninety-two has four major characteristics: 1. It is generous and tolerant, and can tolerate all negative things, including villains; 2. It is courageous and has the courage to be resolute; 3. It does not abandon the wise; 4. It does not form cliques for selfish interests. . Never abandon those who are far away, and never get close to those close to you. This is the ideal minister who can govern the world.
Jiuer is in the position of a doctor, so he must be loyal to the leader of the alliance. How can he be loyal? That is, we should not form cliques or cliques for selfish gain.
These are all must-haves for a dynasty in a peaceful and prosperous age.
You see, "Tai" No. 92 is just four words.
What if you don’t understand "Yi"? Or the understanding is not thorough enough.
Then there is no way to answer this question.
This problem is also easy to solve.
Let’s take a look at "Chu Shi Biao": Being close to virtuous ministers and staying away from villains is why the Han Dynasty prospered in the past; being close to villains and being distant from virtuous ministers is why the Han Dynasty has declined since then. When the late emperor was still alive, whenever he discussed this matter with his ministers, he would always sigh and hate Huan and Lingye. The ministers, ministers, chief historians, and soldiers who have joined the army are all ministers who have learned about the death of Zhenliang. I hope your majesty will trust them, and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty will be calculated in the coming days.
As long as you write around this, there will be no problems!
...The third question...
Uh-huh!
