Sure enough, the first and second questions of this test paper are correct!

Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the examination paper, an idea flashed in Xia Chuanqi's mind: "Your Highness, although this candidate's name is also sealed, the handwriting is also beautiful. The name on this paper must be Jia Yi. I heard that Your Highness and this girl had a relationship with each other." We have been in the same room together...Have you ever leaked test questions, Your Highness?"

"presumptuous!"

The third prince blushed and jumped up from his chair: "Master, I have been with the prince's brother that day and have never been separated. He has never mentioned the imperial examination to the woman named Jia!"

"There is no basis for this unfounded speculation, and I will definitely accuse you of slander in front of my father!"

"snort......"

Xia Chuanqiu was nonchalant and believed in his own judgment: "Third Prince, if you don't tell people in front of others, it doesn't mean you don't teach them behind the scenes!"

"Where's the evidence?"

The third prince was filled with anger. Now, what he hated most was that someone was targeting his ninth son: "Grand Master Xia, where is the evidence?"

"No!"

"Then you are slandering!"

"I want to join you!"

"Third Prince, please!"

Xia Chuanqiu said with a stiff face: "I just made a casual guess and did not file a memorial to impeach the prince. How can I slander him?"

"As the imperial examination supervisor, I have the right to doubt!"

Xia Tian shook his head and continued to mark the exam papers!

Then, he handed another examination paper to Grand Master Xia Chuanqiu: "The answers on this examination paper are also correct. What is Grand Master's explanation?"

"impossible!"

Xia Chuanqi took the test paper and opened it with a gloomy face, looking in disbelief: "This is absolutely impossible!"

"This is an arithmetic problem created by ancient sages. How can so many people be able to solve it?"

"According to family history records, the era of the ancient Xia Dynasty was a prosperous and prosperous era. There were countless wise men, all of whom were talented in the world, but no one could solve this holy arithmetic problem!"

"Why...can these unknown candidates do it?"

Xia Chuanqi's mood collapsed. He stared at Xia Tian, ​​biting his gums and said, "Your Highness, I suspect that you leaked the test questions!"

"You must have leaked this test question!"

"snort......"

No matter how good-tempered Xia Tian is, he can't tolerate Xia Chuanqi's nonsense: "This is really a big joke!"

He changed the subject: "Master, was there paper a thousand years ago?"

Xia Chuanqi was stunned: "No!"

"What now?"

"Yes!"

"Was there porcelain a thousand years ago?"

"No!"

"What now?"

"Yes!"

Xia Tian pointed to the blazing stove in front of him: "Was there such a stove thousands of years ago?"

"No!"

"Now there is!"

"Were there iron knives a thousand years ago?"

"No!"

"Now there is!"

"Was there such a test paper thousands of years ago?"

"No!"

"Now there is!"

"Were there books made of paper thousands of years ago?"

"No!"

“It used to be all bamboo books!”

"Now there is!"

At this moment, Xia Chuanqi finally understood what Xia Tian wanted to say!

He shut his mouth!

"Old antique!"

Xia Tian said in a disdainful tone: "So, if the wise men from thousands of years ago were placed in the present generation, their knowledge and vision would be inferior to these candidates. This is by no means an exaggeration!"

"Master, do you understand?"

Xia Chuanqi was so shocked that he was speechless!

He gritted his teeth and stared at the third question, then changed the subject: "Your Highness, the third question asks the candidates to write about the customs and customs of Daxia Jiuzhou. If I am not mistaken...you want to test them. I want to know what Daxia looks like in their eyes, right?"

Xia Tian doesn't want to waste time on words: "Exactly!"

"As the old saying goes, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. If you want to unite knowledge and action, you must be able to see everything in the world clearly!"

“Unity of knowing and doing?”

Xia Chuanqi's eyes flashed: "How to become one?"

Xia Tian said calmly: "Of course I will go out and travel, use the knowledge in the books in life, and verify whether the knowledge in the books is correct!"

suddenly.

Xia Chuanqi's eyes brightened: "Your Highness, I know that when you became enlightened, you were on your way to Huangzhou to be crowned king. The unity of knowledge and action...is this what you realized on the way to be crowned king?"

Xia Tian shook his head: "Master, let's get down to business and continue talking about the test questions!"

"Do you have any doubts about the fourth question?"

Xia Chuanqi was a little disappointed. He opened the examination paper and read: Suppose you were the county magistrate of a border town in Daxia. Today you went to visit privately incognito and left the county office alone. As soon as you walked out of the county seat, you were whipped by a powerful man for no reason. There are many guards with swords around him. They call you a smelly country boy. You endure it and move on!

You walked to a village, and a powerful man threw pig manure on you, robbed you of your money, and told you that if you didn't accept it, you could report it to the official. You tolerated it and moved on!

Finally, you walk to a poor house and find that this powerful man is robbing the family of their beautiful daughter. What will you do?

Are you going to continue to tolerate it?

Or should we teach this powerful man a lesson?

After reading, Xia Chuanqi looked at the candidate's answer: I choose to endure, because the powerful are surrounded by guards with swords, and a good man will not suffer the consequences. When I return to the county government, I will immediately mobilize all my troops to find the powerful and bring him to justice. Act and rescue the beautiful daughter of a poor family!

Xia Chuanqi nodded: "Yes, this candidate is mature and prudent, can endure what others cannot tolerate, and will eventually achieve great things!"

"He will definitely be a good official!"

But look at Prince Xia’s review: Ding et al.

"Huh......"

Xia Chuanqiu picked up another test paper with a dissatisfied look on his face and looked at the answer to the fourth question: I choose to teach the powerful and powerful. First, I will reveal my identity. If the powerful and powerful are not afraid and still want to snatch the beautiful daughter of a poor family, then I will fight against the powerful and powerful. If I Death, being powerful means killing officials. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the imperial court have made the decision for me. People must be saved now!

Let’s look at Prince Xia Tian’s review: First grade!

Xia Chuanqi suddenly felt unfair.

He stared at Xia Tian's eyes calmly: "Your Highness, I have reviewed these two examination papers and have any opinions!"

"What's your opinion?"

Xia Chuanqi pointed at the two examination papers and said, "Why are mature and prudent candidates who think first and then be brave rated Ding and others?"

"Why give this reckless candidate a first grade?"

"Could it be that reckless candidates are the talents the court needs?"

"Do you review errors?"

"Not a mistake!"

Xia Tian stopped writing: "You are right, this reckless candidate is the talent the imperial court needs!"

"Why?"

Xia Chuanqi was a little angry!

Xia Tian asked calmly: "Master, what is a boy?"

Xia Chuanqi was stunned!

"Is he... a young man who has light in his eyes, a heart full of dreams, whose blood surges when encountering injustice, who is not afraid of death, and who does things without regard for the consequences?"

"yes!"

Xia Tian then said: "Rescuing people is like putting out fire. If we had waited for the candidate who planned first and then bravely came back to rescue the soldiers, that girl might have been raped by the powerful!"

"He is the head of a county, but his people dare not stand up when they are humiliated. He first chooses to protect himself wisely. What is the difference between him and those slick old men in officialdom?"

"For the current Daxia court, it is because there are too many such officials that it makes the Daxia court weak. Therefore, he is not the official the court needs!"

"On the contrary, the candidate who seems to be reckless and desperate is very good. He knows that he is the lord of the county. At this time, he should reveal his identity to protect the people and scold the evildoers. If he sacrifices his life, he believes that the court will do it for him. He seeks justice. Only officials who are passionate and not afraid of death are the officials that the Great Xia court should use!"

Xia Tian said earnestly: "Next year, the war will burn in the Great Xia Empire. The Great Xia Empire needs officials who believe in the court. Only by trusting each other can our hearts be united and we can win the war as one!"

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you prefer to go to the tiger mountains. This question tests your character!"

"That makes sense!"

After listening, the third prince looked at Xia Tian with respect: "Sure enough, the question has profound meaning!"

"Brother Wang admires me!"

Peacock stood up, with a face full of respect: "Your Highness is so wise, Confucian people admire you!"

At this moment, Xia Chuanqi's face looked a little ugly!

Earlier, he asserted that these questions could not select the talents that the Xia court needed!

Now it’s a bit of a slap in the face!

However, he is stiff-skinned and thick-skinned!

Xia Chuanqiu pointed to the last question with an ugly expression: "Where is the last question?"

"What is this question about?"

"Why can't I see the deeper meaning?"

"Yeah?"

Suddenly, Xia Tian's eyes flashed with light, and he asked sternly: "Master Xia, who are you?"

Screams resounded throughout the Royal Academy!

"explain......."
