Changsun Wen felt like he was going to faint with anger!
However, Yang Fan did not intend to let him go, and sneered: "Don't shirk the blame. You still want to deny it in front of everyone? In order to maintain the order of the examination room, I cannot delay everyone's time because of you."
"Come here, please drive this person out for me and remove him from this year's imperial examination..."
"If you are unhappy, you can complain to His Majesty. Now get away from me. If you delay the imperial examination, do you believe that someone will beat you to death on the spot?"
Seeing the two left guard soldiers rushing forward like wolves and tigers, Zhang Sun Wen was so frightened that he trembled and was taken away with his arms before he could react.
Changsun Wen had a good father and a good aunt, but when he was so wronged, his stubborn temper suddenly broke out!
His hands flew wildly and his legs kicked, trying to stop the soldiers from dragging him away. Unfortunately, everything was in vain, so he turned around and cursed:
"Yang Fan, you are so shameless. You actually abused your private power and framed the situation. Just wait for me. I will let my father report it to Your Majesty and see how you explain."
"Also, you actually used a public weapon privately to avenge yourself. Don't let me meet you when you walk on the street. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you."
Well?
All the candidates laughed in surprise.
Even if you say a few cruel words before leaving, you have to be more reliable, right?
Like using the relationship between Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugao to put pressure on Yang Fan.
But it’s too outrageous to say that I’ll beat someone every time I see him in the future!
Who knows that Yang Fan's reputation as a university was not just blown away.
Apart from the fact that they destroyed Tubo, they never suffered a loss even in fights.
Generally, dozens of strong men may not be Yang Fan's opponent. You, Sun Wen, look like a dandy with small arms and legs. How dare you hit others every time you see them?
What a bragging!
Ignoring Chairman Sun Wen's revelation, Yang Fan felt much better.
That guy actually dared to be the family's cannon fodder, Yang Fan would not be merciful.
Humming a little tune, my heart bubbling with beauty, without the slightest hint of the consciousness of a treacherous official who wanted to avenge his personal vengeance and frame him for the crime.
With this warning to Changsun Wen, the people behind him would not dare to escape.
After all, Yang Fan, the son of the company commander Sun Wuji, dared to pull him out on the spot and talk about other people?
This also resulted in a lot of small pieces of paper on the ground with dense writing on them.
As long as these people take the initiative to throw them out, Yang Fan will certainly not pursue them.
What's more, Yang Fan just wanted to create a relatively fair examination environment.
With everyone's cooperation, the body search progress was accelerated, and an hour later, all candidates had entered the examination room.
The servants who accompanied these people could only go back and wait.
The imperial examination this time was different from the past. The three-day examination was conducted in a closed manner in the Imperial College. Except for brains and toiletries, no other things were allowed to be brought in.
Yang Fan didn't have much interest in betting on this imperial examination.
According to his idea, he would rather fight on the battlefield than become a candidate.
What's more, the current exam is really boring. The key is that he has not read a few of these Four Books and Five Classics stuff, and has no clue at all.
In Yang Fan's view, the essence of Confucian culture such as the Four Books and Five Classics is good.
It has inherited and recorded the fine traditions of the Chinese nation of courtesy, friendliness, gentleness and loyalty, conscientiousness and hard work, and benevolence and tolerance. However, Confucianism also has fatal historical limitations.
The feudal ethics of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Rules maintain autocratic rule and hierarchical society, suppress the freedom of human nature, suppress ideas, and hinder the development of natural science.
It can be said that Confucianism is an ultimate philosophical thought that can cultivate a person's moral sentiments, but it is not a knowledge that governs the world perfectly, because it is easy for people to lose their enterprising spirit and bloody spirit.
Speaking of which, if the theory of "Confucianism is the clothing and law is the root" can be realized, it will undoubtedly be the most ideal way to govern the country in feudal society.
But why is it so difficult?
The emperor and major aristocratic families did not allow it because it violated their fundamental interests.
The imperial examination examination room has been rearranged to look like a small independent space. Each candidate is separated by an independent wooden board to prevent peeking.
Yang Fan sat listlessly in the examination seat. When he raised his head, he could see other candidates immersed in answering questions.
Of course, only one head can be seen.
However, after searching carefully, I could not find the poor student just now.
I originally thought about asking Li Yifu to find that guy, but in the end I had to give up.
Looking at Li Yifu, who was carefully invigilated by five people and six people, Yang Fan sighed.
This guy could understand everything just by looking at him. No wonder he became a traitor.
Putting aside the stain on this guy's original history, this guy's abilities are definitely impressive.
No wonder emperors of all dynasties like to use treacherous ministers, they are so useful!
As long as you control it properly, you will be much better than those loyal ministers who only know how to give direct advice.
Of course, the formation of a person's character has a lot to do with a person's experience and environment.
At another time, Wu Zetian needed someone like Li Yifu as a sharp sword for her to deal with opponents, and this was how Li Yifu was created.
Some things are inevitable. Even if there is no Li Yifu, there will definitely be others who will step in to do these things for Wu Zetian.
As the saying goes, times make heroes.
If Li Yifu had followed His Majesty Li Er to a high position a few years earlier, would he have dared to form such a large number of cronies, buy officials and sell titles?
The answer is of course no. His Majesty Li Er teaches him how to be a good person every minute with his skills.
Now that Wu Meiniang is taken into his room, the historical Emperor Wu Zetian will probably never appear again.
So will Li Yifu's life also change accordingly?
This is a false proposition, and no one can have an answer because it has not happened yet.
Seeing Yang Fan staring at him closely in the examination room, Li Yifu felt a little uneasy. After all, Yang Fan was his nobleman. He was about to step forward to ask, but Yang Fan shook his head gently to stop him.
The candidates who were betting couldn't help but sigh in relief when they saw that Yang Fan was not focusing on the exam at all.
It seems that Yang Fan's talent is only in poetry and poetry, and he is really not good at taking exams.
Originally, these children from aristocratic families had already asked people to write ghostwriting papers, but the body search just now frightened these candidates.
Looking back now, it turns out that the Marquis was an upright gentleman. He did not carry any cheat sheets and just sat there in a daze.
It was probably because Changsun Wen kept secret cheat sheets that Marquis Zhongyi recognized him as a provocation to him, so he was punished so severely.
Since there are no cheating things such as cheat sheets, Yang Fan will not be rude as long as he takes the exam with his true ability.
The candidates all think so, but in fact no one dares to test the discipline of the examination room. After all, the risk is too high.
Yang Fan stretched out boredly and yawned.
Because of the preparations for the imperial examination, I didn't sleep well these days.
I haven't gone home to sleep with the beauty in my arms for several days, and I feel really depressed.
When the exam is going smoothly, there will naturally be those candidates with poor skills who are trying to make up for their mistakes. They are scratching their heads and scratching their heads because they cannot answer the test questions.
Those who secretly stretched their necks to see other people's answers were frightened and trembled by Li Yifu's righteous warning.
In fact, these candidates are a little too worried!
This imperial examination is not so much an exam as it is an excess, a show.
This was a compromise made by His Majesty Li Er to the aristocratic families in exchange for the support of these aristocratic families in the real imperial examination in the future, at least not blatant opposition.
Since it is a show, why should it be too harsh?
The previous inspection was just to express a meaning.
The future imperial examinations will be like this. No one can try to fish in troubled waters with fairness and impartiality!
Now that his attitude has been expressed, those members of the aristocratic families must not be fools, and they will naturally understand what he means.
Strictly speaking, Yang Fan's task as the examiner has been completed.
Now it's just a gamble with those children from aristocratic families!
Thinking of this, Yang Fan turned his attention to the test questions.
In the Tang Dynasty, examination subjects were divided into two categories: regular subjects and formal subjects. The examinations held in installments every year are called regular subjects, and the examinations held temporarily by the emperor's decree are called system subjects.
The subjects of the regular examination are generally divided into six subjects: Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Mingfa, Mingshu, and Mingshu.
Among them, the Xiucai subject was called the "unique subject" by people at the time. It was the earliest established subject among the six regular subjects in the Tang Dynasty, with the longest history and the highest legal status.
However, because the Xiucai subject was too difficult and demanding, there were only a few candidates, and it was abolished during the Yonghui reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
The high school scholars at this time were not the scholars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties...
There is still a lot of content related to the showman-related exams, and I wouldn’t even dare to sign up if I don’t have two brushes.
After all, the admission rate is too low!
The Xiucai Section is also divided into three exams, with three days for candidates to answer questions.
The content includes a poem, policy analysis, historical classics, current affairs, and the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics...
Regarding poetry, it is not difficult for Yang Fan, but there are many questions in it, but they cannot be answered casually.
Allusions will be quoted in the process of answering questions, but they cannot be used casually. There are also classics and meanings, etc.
In short, if you want to write well, you must not have a single or narrow idea. You must have your own opinions and theories. The most important thing is to conform to the examiner's thoughts.
Although Yang Fan is the examiner, he is not the marking officer. Therefore, the answers must conform to the marking officer's taste.
This review was jointly composed of great scholars such as Kong Yingda and important officials in the court such as Fang Xuanling.
It can be said that these people are reformists who support His Majesty Li Er.
The exam process went smoothly.
On the first day, Yang Fan made another copy of the poems and songs.
The next day I quoted scriptures and explained some of its meanings, which was quite decent.
The policy discussion on the third day comes from a conversation between Confucius and Zi Zhang.
The title comes from Chapter 23 of The Analects of Confucius: We can know the ten generations.
Zi Zhang asked: "How can we know the tenth life?"
Confucius said: "The gains and losses of Yin due to Xia rites can be known; the gains and losses of Zhou due to Yin rites can be known, and those who may succeed Zhou can be known for hundreds of generations."
The general meaning is that most of the following systems were passed down from above.
If you understand it according to this topic, it is easy to say that it is an old-fashioned school that supports one layer of unchangedness.
But Yang Fan knew that it was actually wrong to write based on this argument.
This topic was proposed by His Majesty Li Er himself. This emperor is not a conservative.
Moreover, Confucius was not a staunch believer in the law. He was not actually opposed to change.
It can be seen from this that this question was created to support change.
If you write a conservative article at this time, even if it is written in a colorful and brilliant way, it will not get a grade in the eyes of the marking officer.
So Yang Fan knows how to get started!
The central idea of the article is to support the reform, but it should not be too overt.
After all, in ancient times, it was easy to get punished for words, so you should write more obscurely.
If you write very straightforwardly, you are likely to create a lot of enemies, so you must be rigorous and think carefully before writing.
Although there were many articles about reform in his mind, Yang Fan had an idea after thinking about it.
I moved an article I read before directly here, that is Mr. Liang Qichao's "Young Power Theory".
The general meaning is to encourage young people to dare to innovate and have an enterprising spirit of reform, which implies the great spirit of hoping that the country will be strong and prosperous.
Of course, this article was originally prose and needed polishing.
In Yang Fan's opinion, this article supports reform and ideological emancipation.
The description based on this argument is neither ostentatious nor too exaggerated, and it also contains the meaning of reform.
After writing for a while, I saw the black and clear fonts on the test paper. I checked it four or five times and breathed a sigh of relief when I was sure there was nothing wrong.
There was no pause in the process of writing the article, and Yang Fan was quite satisfied.
Mr. Liang Qichao spent many days and nights thinking about this article. He probably did not expect that someone would move his article to the examination room of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a classic sentence in the article that Yang Fan likes the most.
The wisdom of young people will make the country wise, the richness of young people will make the country rich, and the strength of young people will make the country strong!
Written in Leanjing style, it shows a sense of arrogance and elitism, fully embodying the hard-working and enterprising spirit of the Huaxia nation.
Even if you don't read the article, just looking at the handwriting, there is an oncoming sharpness that is impressive.
Yang Fan looked up and saw that many candidates next to him were sweating anxiously and thinking about how to decide the topic, but Yang Fan had already written it.
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
That’s the benefit of standing on the shoulders of giants.
After I stopped writing, the three-day imperial examination was coming to an end, and it was considered a smooth ride.
Yang Fan finished the exam so early, and I have to say that it seemed boring to finish answering the questions in advance.
Other candidates may not think three days is a long time because they think the time to answer questions is too short.
No communication is allowed during the exam, and you can only stay by yourself after writing.
Yang Fan looked at the partition in front, and occasionally heard the voices of scholars in front and behind sighing in the small pavilion. It was obviously not difficult for him. Such a depressing atmosphere was very uncomfortable.
As the rule maker, Yang Fan certainly cannot leave the game early.
If you don't lead by example, who will take your words seriously?
Looking at the bored Yang Fan, Li Yifu quietly walked over and asked in surprise: "Master Marquis, have you finished writing so quickly?"
Seeing Yang Fan nodding decisively, Li Yifu's eyes burst into light.
As an invigilator, of course he also saw the questions on the imperial examination policy.
In his opinion, one word - difficult!
I haven’t seen many exams where I didn’t even finish writing, and I was simply stumped by such questions.
With a sigh in his heart, Li Yifu became more certain that following Yang Fan was the right choice.
Yang Fan didn't know whether Li Yifu was worshiping him or not.
Now that he has decided to take Li Yifu under his sect, Yang Fan has the means to deal with him and cannot let this guy raise his tail.
After a long wait, it's finally over.
After leaving the examination room, Yang Fan took a long breath. The sun was shining outside and the air was fresh. He never wanted to be an examinee again!
