For now, let’s briefly answer the boss’s question.
What’s next in the official article?
Promote the boss!
His Majesty, Emperor Qinwei, has a heroic figure and upright character, and his holy virtues are renewed day by day. Since he came to the throne, he has promoted magnificence and principles in order to govern the world.
Bah, so shameless.
When Xu He wrote this, his face turned red.
However, this is the reality of society. If you don’t brag, I won’t brag, and the imperial examination can only be used as cannon fodder.
Even though you know that these are all lies, if you want to get out of here, being dirty and evil is a required course for every Gongju.
Next, Xu He used two hundred words to retell the emperor's deeds such as "Qi" and "Chengkang", and finally quoted Cheng Yi's words: "The holy king's first priority is to seek the appointment and support of the prime minister!"
Ouyang Xiu: "The sage of the king distinguishes between the gentleman and the villain."
After pointing out the topic again, he continued: "The two Confucianisms can be said to be those who know how to govern the body. How can one govern the world without this?"
As he was writing this, Xu He felt a darkness around him, hum, here it comes again.
He raised his head slightly and found that it was Wu Xingbang's handsome face.
Wu Xingbang looked at Xu He, smiled slightly, and turned his eyes to the test paper to see what he wrote.
After watching it for a while, Wu Xingbang wanted to laugh in his heart. What the famous Xu Liangsheng wrote was all nonsense.
Going around and around, I didn’t give any point of view, it was just all kinds of clouds and mist.
If he had dared to write such a useless piece of shit in the test, I would probably have deposed him long ago.
But, the imperial examination...
Who is Xu He?
Behind him stood his fellow countryman Xu Song.
If the official's son wrote down his camp under such circumstances, he would be surprised.
Seeing this, he smiled slightly and continued his inspection with his hands behind his back.
Xu He felt relieved when he saw Wu Xingbang leaving.
However, the problem arises again.
Talking about chariots is not offensive, but it is not nutritious either.
Although I have a dispensable attitude toward the title of No. 1 pick.
But we still have to fight.
Then, you need to write an argument that is meaningful but not too targeted.
"You have to control this speed! It's really difficult for me!"
He took the pen and considered it for a long time, and finally wrote:
Jin Shengming rules at the top, and the prime minister assists in ruling at the bottom. What can I say?
However, the troubles in the world always come from following the rules; but the ambition of the master always comes from neglect.
snort! Will the world be at peace?
impossible!
Although the system is good, it is unacceptable to stick to the old ways.
The emperor has ambitions, but over time he is prone to neglect!
Emperor Zheng, as for you, don’t look around!
When you were young, you were also obsessed with your career. What happened now?
How many years has it been since you went to work?
ah?
Has the cultivation of Taoism produced results?
Look at what the world has become now.
Isn’t that what I said, are you being negligent?
above!
The first half is expressed in Xu Hejuan.
The second half is Xu He YY.
Relevant people are asked not to take their seats.
…
Therefore, the ancient sage kings did not only regard disasters as something to worry about, but they especially regarded swallows as comfort and fear.
Peace is not always safe, but the danger is already there;
Governance is not always possible, but the level of chaos has gradually increased.
…
During the time of our ancestors, rituals and music were already in existence. Can the result be like this now?
I see that the custom of submissiveness to one's husband has declined, but the trend of seizing has not yet been established; the voice of peace is rarely advocated, but the habit of licentiousness is flourishing.
…
Xu He still implicitly expressed some of his own opinions in this passage.
First of all, be prepared for danger in times of peace. This may seem like a cliché, but it is actually the principle that he has deeply felt during this time in Beijing.
There is a war in the South, Beijing city songs are being sung and dances are being performed, the Party and the state are almost dead, and these people are still acting as if nothing has happened. The scholar-bureaucrats and the common people are all enjoying themselves, and feel that the South is nothing more than a disease like mustard moss. Just ask for peace.
Most of them have never thought about the root cause of so many troubles.
In the second one, Xu He talked about the ancestral method from the side.
Up to now, the sea ban promoted by Xu Song is still facing difficulties.
It promotes the interests of some people. Of course, this is fundamental.
But there are still some stubborn officials who don't know how to adapt, and they continue to impeach Xu Song based on the so-called Taizu's law of banning the sea.
This is a bit funny.
Therefore, Xu He specifically put forward his own point of view in the volume, saying that the ancestral methods are not static.
In ancient times, abdication was still practiced. Why don't you ask Emperor Zhizheng to abdicate in Fagu now?
This is the simplest and most direct case of slap in the face.
I, Xu He, will propose it in the palace examination. Let the emperor weigh it for yourself. Is this ancestral law immutable?
Next, Xu He talked about the need for the imperial court to hold imperial examinations to select candidates. This is to prepare for the future prime minister, so the imperial examinations are very good. We are all talents and have unlimited possibilities.
Such a good system must continue!
Then, here comes the point.
After going around for so long, the emperor asks you about the assistant minister.
It's definitely not possible to avoid it. Is it right to devote a separate chapter to this matter?
So Xu He said it.
If you are good and new, your body will be upright, and the virtuous assistants will also be perfect.
It is my wish that Your Majesty observe the dangers of the rule of law, and revere him with reverence; use the blood in his heart, and the emperor's constitution.
Playing music is lazy and arrogant, this is the poison of the heart, your majesty must live in it and work hard;
Strange skills and obscene skills are like thieves. Your Majesty must guard them with frugality.
Your Majesty, who has a loyal and loyal eye, do not offend him by going against his will, hoping that he will expand this heart;
If you say something flattering, you must be wary of it but think: Is there anything I have learned that is wrong? Is it necessary to stay on the occasion of the government?
After writing this, Xu He breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, after what he wrote, the emperor probably knew what he meant when he saw it.
I, Xu He, said, you, Lao Zhang, should stop worrying about other people’s affairs.
Can you please clear yourself up first?
Don't hide in the palace every day and don't care about anything. What kind of chaos is it outside?
Isn’t it embarrassing?
Of course, the actual article is written much more tactfully than the central idea.
However, this is already considered audacious.
In fact, before Xu He met Emperor Zhizheng, he felt very disgusted with this emperor.
He always compares Emperor Zhizheng with Jiajing in another time and space.
But I didn’t know until I got in touch with it.
Although Emperor Zhizheng, like Jiajing, also practiced in the deep palace, he also used his superb political skills to control the outer court.
But Emperor Zhizheng was a little different.
Although he has some shortcomings, he is relatively gentle, and he is not as unkind as Jiajing in history.
No wonder Xie Kun complained about the Wei Dynasty, but still ran around for his brother-in-law.
Therefore, Xu He can speak freely today.
Big deal...
Just make up for it at the end.
I am not knowledgeable enough to know the past, and my knowledge is not enough to understand the present. I am foolish enough to reach heaven to hear. Although my words involve vulgarity, my true feelings are rooted in loyalty.
Your Majesty, please forgive me for punishing him with ax and ax, and spare him for his arrogant crimes. Do not think that it is a long-distance course that must be seen, and do not think that it is a common saying that must be carried out. This is a very lucky thing for a foolish minister! The world is so lucky!
The ministers were so strict that they trembled and fell.
I am right!
At this point, it is not yet past noon, and Xu Hedian's test policy essay has been completed.
I flatter you, but I also have this thing.
Next, how many names are there, first or second?
I don't want to worry about it now.
I want to sleep!
I am very tired!
The sound of Xu He standing up woke up everyone in the hall.
Everyone stared at him dumbfounded.
Xu He handed the papers to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, bowed to the invigilators, and then turned around and went out through the Dongjiao Gate.
The remaining people were stunned.
Is this Xu He?
Such an important imperial examination.
Did he hand in the paper half a day early?
Is this genius?
Sure enough, they are different from ordinary people like us!
