The Palace of Peach and Plum - Chapter 78

There is only one chief examiner Zhao Zhao, and there are several deputy chief examiners besides Ling Wei.

But no matter how many people there are, Ling Wei is the youngest one.

Not all scholars can be big belly tolerant. Literati pouring is very common.

Due to Zhao Zhao’s presence, the others could not clearly exclude Ling Wei. Ling Wei was also acquainted and did not express any opinions, but silently stayed aside and waited for them to quarrel with each other.

After these people quarreled for a few days, they finally settled on the topic. Perhaps after being idle, and realizing that there was such an obtrusive thing next to him, an examiner said diligently, letting Ling Wei be responsible for writing the questions.

“The papers of Jintang’s Jingyi back then are still for people to look at.” The examiner with the surname Wu and three strands of beautiful beard arched his hands, “Presumably Jintang can do it alone.”

Although there are only a few papers in Confucianism, but its content is extensive, I don’t know how many books to consult. The workload is so large that several examiners have always done it together.

It can be said that the biggest workload is here.

To let Ling Wei do it alone is obviously embarrassing.

But Ling Wei is not impossible to do it alone.

After pondering for a while, Ling Wei was ready to show weakness and refuse this matter.

“Master Wu was joking…” Zhao Zhao interrupted Ling Wei as soon as he started speaking.

“Jintang, is there a slack in your studies?” Zhao Zhao asked.

Ling Wei froze for a moment, and said, “Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Jintang doesn’t dare to slack off for a day.”

“Do you study hard every day?”

“Yes.” Even if he is busy with official duties, reading is one of Ling Wei’s few rest methods.

“Can you be sure to complete this scripture question?” Zhao Zhao said solemnly.

Ling Wei was stunned again, looking at Zhao Zhao’s dark face, and slowly showing a smile: “If you adults don’t dislike it, I would like to take this errand next time.”

“This is an imperial examination event, very anxious!” An examiner next to him hurriedly said. He clearly saw that Zhao Zhao was really angry.

In fact, Examiner Wu just said that he wanted to listen to Ling Wei’s softness. He really didn’t plan to let Ling Wei do this alone.

If the final test questions are not available, everyone is responsible.

“How many days do you need Jintang?” Zhao Zhao ignored it.

Ling Wei said: “Two days later, the first draft will be given to the adults to make a decision.”

“Then I’ll see the result in two days. If it can’t be done, I will personally request your Majesty to withdraw from presiding over the imperial examination.” Zhao Zhao looked around at the uncertain people around him, “Are there any objections?”

“Master Zhao is serious, but His Majesty Ling has appointed him personally.” Examiner Wu suddenly felt that he couldn’t get off the stage, yin and yang weird.

“The old man will do his best.” Zhao Zhao stroked his beard, “Master Wu, please rest assured.”

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, they don’t want to be the first bird, and look at each other.

I have long heard that Zhao Zhao has a bad temper. As he grows older, Zhao Zhao’s temper has receded a lot, making many people forget that he, like Ling Wei, was a person who likes to slap her face everywhere (Ling Wei: …I’m obviously It’s a passive face slap…).

The people here are indeed a little jealous of Ling Wei, and they also bring out some of their expressions. But so many ministers in the DPRK failed to make His Majesty the Emperor change his mind, and Ling Wei was indeed blameless except for his age. They were just a bit sour. To say that it is really embarrassing… Since Lingwei is the capital of the big celebrity in front of the emperor prince, who will embarrass him?

Examiner Wu was just a bit sour. After Ling Wei was softened, he said haha ​​that he was just joking, and it passed.

Who knew that Zhao Zhao’s temper was really broken, and Ling Wei had to complete the Scriptures by himself?

And this was raised by Examiner Wu first, and others followed suit at the time, and none of them raised any objections. Ling Wei agreed, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Even if they are going to make a big deal, Zhao Zhao said that he has to take it up. He also said that he himself thinks that the qualifications of the students are too low. If he can’t complete this matter, he is not capable enough to stay here to conduct the scientific examination. , What else can they say?

And they faintly felt that Zhao Zhao really felt that it was inappropriate for Ling Wei to participate in the scientific expedition, and that the tree was a big fan. They could not just find an excuse to let Ling Wei quit?

Everyone hesitated, thinking that it was just two days away anyway. They worked overtime together, and they were just flipping through the books for two days, and they hadn’t started writing questions yet, so they could afford to wait.

Ling Wei got out after two days, so refreshing.

Yes, no one thinks that Ling Wei can accomplish this.

“Then the next official will wait and see.” Wu examiner snorted coldly, standing arrogantly, irresponsible!

“You will not be disappointed here.” Ling Wei smiled.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“So Jintang kid really took it?” Li Li slapped his thigh, blowing his beard and staring, “The candidate I appointed is really embarrassing! If you are not satisfied, just mention it to me!”

Zhao Zhao said: “Your Majesty intends to make Jintang famous. It is best for Jintang to solve the matter by himself. Moreover, it may be difficult for even Weichen to complete it, but for Jintang, if he is really diligent in studying, Not difficult.”

Li Li’s anger eased slightly: “Yes. Jintang still has some talent.”

He smiled triumphantly: “My nephew is naturally different. Let them take a good look this time. You can’t make it by yourself. Don’t think that everyone can’t make it. There are some outsiders and there are heavens and heavens. See who will take Jintang’s age in the future. Talk about it. That kid is now in retreat and reading?”

“It’s a retreat, and I don’t know what Weichen is doing.” Zhao Zhao replied, “But seeing Jintang’s confidence, Weichen is not worried.”

Li Li nodded triumphantly. Worthy of being his nephew, the children he taught are capable.

Zhao Zhao was also very proud. He deserves to be his student, and the children he teaches are amazing.

The prince looked at Li Li, then at Zhao Zhao, and whispered: “Father, can my son help Jintang?”

“Stay well, don’t add chaos.” Li Li said, “The people around this matter joined in, but Jintang didn’t come as fast as Jintang himself.”

“Really?” The prince was still worried, “Can’t help flipping through the book?”

“It’s not as fast as he flips through the book himself.”

“Son can help copy books!”

“You have to be idle, go to your uncle Wang to learn how to ride and shoot. I can hear the youngest member say that your riding and shooting skills have regressed.” Li Li stared.

The prince drooped his head: “Son follows the decree.”

The prince sighed and left. Li Li couldn’t laugh or cry: “My prince was spoiled by Jintang. He is not big or small in front of me, so Zhao Aiqing laughed.”

Why is the prince spoiled by your majesty, what does it have to do with our students? Zhao Zhao complained in his heart, but said on his lips: “The prince should have been so close in front of your majesty. The prince is the prince of the world, but the prince is just a son in front of your majesty.”

Li Li nodded: “That’s right. But Qichen is also big, and it’s time to start a family.”

Zhao Zhao lowered his head and stopped answering. This is not what he should have said.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

For Ling Wei, the matter of Jingyi’s topic, although it was a little tired, it was really not something that could not be accomplished.

Not forgetting, he has never lost this golden finger.

In addition, in recent years, not only did he not leave his studies, but because his family became richer and he was able to enter and leave Li Yin’s study at will, his coverage and volume became wider.

Ling Wei first flipped through the historical imperial examination papers, closed his eyes, and sorted out the questioning rules of each generation of the classics in his mind-although the questions were different, the scope was always those, and each part of the questions was not chaotic.

After Ling Wei finished the draft, he began to draft the draft. At this time, he listed the scope of the examination syllabus similar to that of later generations, and listed specific books for reference.

After the examination syllabus and reference books were repeatedly deleted, Ling Wei began to determine the amount of questions and the proportion of each part in the amount of questions.

After determining the specific number, only questions are left.

Based on the average difficulty of examinations in previous years, Ling Wei divided the questions into difficult, medium, and easy three. The title of Yi is naturally some of the most popular classic chapters in the classics. Almost everyone can memorize these chapters, but they are too classic to fail the test. They are sub-items.

Medium difficulty is to choose some more specific events, such as year, location, time and so on. To answer this type of question, you need to look at

The book is careful, and the memory is strong.

The problem is that the answer cannot be obtained directly from the book, and the answer needs to be obtained through a part of logical inference. For example, the title asks where Confucius was at an unspecified time in “Spring and Autumn.” Candidates must remember what Confucius did at the closest time before and after that time, and then use logic and common sense to draw conclusions about where Confucius was at this time.

This requires not only memorizing details, but also a certain amount of common sense in life and active thinking, which can’t be answered by studying hard.

Scripture can also test whether the candidates’ brains are good or not, but it’s not just memorization.

In addition to filling in the blanks, Jingyi also composes materials. However, the topics of the essays, poems, and policy topics that need to be written for this scripture have been quarreled by other examiners during the quarrels over the past few days, so Ling Wei doesn’t need to waste time.

The questions he asked were just filling in the blanks and short answer questions.

In just one day, Ling Wei finished the test paper. For the rest of the day, he took out the books he used and checked them one by one.

Although he never forgets, there are always omissions in his memory, he may remember something wrong, or write a wrong word.

He really found a few small omissions. After correcting them, he worried that he would not be able to check them out, so he pulled Li Ying to do hard work for him.

After Li Yin checked it and said that there was no error, Ling Wei took a good night’s sleep and went to “hand in the paper” full of energy.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When Ling Wei was “handing in the paper”, Zhao Zhao was quite calm, but the other examiners were nervous.

They were not worried about Ling Wei, but worried about themselves.

After two days of thinking, they felt that even if Ling Wei said that he took it all, but if Ling Wei really quit, his Majesty would still be angry, right?

If they didn’t wait for Ling Wei to finish, they would persuade Ling Wei to stay. After this blow, Ling Wei would not be so arrogant anymore.

Just a little blow.

Zhao Zhao sneered when he knew their plan.

When did Ling Wei be arrogant? He never interrupted his mouth, just like a transparent person beside him. But someone can’t get along with him, go

Hurry to make him slap in the face.

Ling Wei had a different temper than when he was young. He took the initiative to slap others in the face, while Ling Wei was constantly looking for him.

As a teacher, he is angry when he looks at it.

When Ling Wei really handed in the test questions, the examiners were not surprised.

It is not difficult to write a question, but it is not easy to write a good question.

But Ling Wei brought not only test papers, but also his test outline and reference books.

This set of test questions included which ranges, how many questions each range occupies, which books, how many pages, and which year’s editions and notes, Ling Wei wrote clearly.

More than that, Ling Wei also wrote an analysis of the examination papers over the past few years, clearly showing that the scope and difficulty of the questions in this examination paper are the same. If someone questioned the basis of Ling Wei’s question, then this is the basis.

The test questions in previous years are just the basis.

When the examiners saw the exam outline, reference books, and analysis of previous years’ test questions written by Ling Wei, they felt a “click” in their hearts, and a bad feeling arose.

When the examination outline and previous year’s examination questions were analyzed, the examiners had already bowed their heads, thinking that there was no need to look at the questions.

Ling Wei’s syllabus has written out the source of the test questions, what else do I need to look at?

Originally thought that Ling Wei could be “cured” and “cured” this time, and filed his aura. This is also good for young people.

How can I know that Ling Wei can really complete this task that needs many people to complete, and came up with an impeccable test question.

Looking at the outline, the analysis, the reference book, and finally the test questions, the previous contempt and dissatisfaction disappeared, and even the jealousy was no longer jealous.

This has real talents and real learning, that is, real gold is not afraid of fire. No wonder His Majesty the Emperor valued it so much, that apart from age, Ling Wei did not lose to anyone in the room.

And does age matter? Ling Wei is young, but more talented than them, age is even more of an advantage.

“Jintang is a talented talent, I am ashamed of it.” An examiner put down the test questions, sighed, and bowed, “I have been offended before.”

Once this examiner started, the other examiners also apologized as if they had stepped down.

The list of examiners drawn up by His Majesty the Emperor is mostly virtuous and talented people. At first he might have prejudice against Ling Wei, but now Ling Wei has shown a talent that is not inferior to the Sanyuan and Dai of the year, confirming Zhao Zhao’s “diligent study”, and the prejudices of others have become admiration. .

“Master Ling is well prepared.” Examiner Wu seemed to smile, but he didn’t believe it. He was able to produce such a detailed test in two days. “Your Majesty has told Master Ling that he intends Master Ling to participate in this question?”

As soon as Examiner Wu said, the other people’s hearts were stunned.

Yeah, maybe it was prepared long ago. It can’t be said that this list was not made by Ling Wei alone.

His Majesty’s intention to support Ling Wei is very obvious, not necessarily because of this incident to make Ling Wei famous. Maybe Zhao Zhao knew it too, just acting on purpose?

Although the matter was brought up by Examiner Wu, it is impossible to say that Zhao Zhao and Ling Wei would find the opportunity themselves to let the matter develop in this direction.

Everyone’s eyes were a little confused.

After all, this is something that cannot be done by one person, and their doubts are inevitable.

Ling Wei snorted coldly. He knew it would not end like this.

“In the first year of the first year, the king of the spring is the first month. In March, the father of the father and the father of Lu Yi met Yu Mi. In the summer of May, Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan. In autumn and July, the heavenly king sent Zai Ao to return to the father of Hui Gong and Zhong Zi. In September, and the Song Renmeng. Yusu. Winter tenth has February, and the sacrifice is coming. The son will benefit the teacher.” Ling Wei suddenly said, “In the spring of the first year, Wang Zhouzhengyue. Ascended to the throne without a book, take pictures.”

“In March, the father and the father of Chu Yi are in alliance with Mi, and the son of Chu is restrained. It is not the king’s life, so he is not a jue. Said’Father of Yi,’ you are noble. The desire of the public is better than that of Chu, so it is the alliance of Mi. In Xia Siyue, Faber is taking care of Chenglang. It’s not a book, it’s not a job.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then someone suddenly took out “Zuo Shi Chun Qiu” and opened it-in order to write the title, they have a lot of books here, and they are all sorted into good categories.

“At the beginning, Zheng Wugong married Yushen, saying Wu Jiang, gave birth to Zhuanggong and Gongshu Duan. Zhuanggong was born and surprised Jiang Clan, so he was called’寤生’, so he was evil. Love Gongshu Duan, and wanted to establish it. Urgently invite Wu Gong, Gong Fu Xu. And Zhuang Gong ascended to the throne, so please system.”

“The public said,’System, Yanyi, Uncle Guo die, Tuoyi is his fate.” Please Beijing, make it a residence, that is called Uncle Beijing. Sacrifice Zhong said:’Du,

A hundred pheasants pass through the city, and the country will be harmed. The system of the first king: most, but one of the participating countries; middle, one of five; small, one of ninth. If this capital is not saved, it is not controlled, and you will be unbearable. “The public said,” Jiang’s desire, how can he curb harm? “That’s right…”

For more than half an hour, everyone sat there in a daze, listening to Ling Wei’s endorsement, listening to him recite the Spring and Autumn Period without missing a word.

Ling Wei motioned to the small official next to fill up with tea, moisturize his throat, and said: “This “Spring and Autumn” took more than half an hour. If you want to memorize the next book one by one, I am afraid it is too late today. In the outline The books on the previous page are also available here. You adults can take a copy at will, start a sentence or two at the beginning, and recite the following from the next.”

Everyone looked at each other, obviously frightened by Ling Wei’s “endorsement”, and they didn’t know how to react.

Zhao Zhao sneered, and picked up the “Book of Rites”: “A husband is a man and a son, and three gifts are not as good as a horse and a horse. The Luxiang Party of the prefecture calls him filial piety, brothers and relatives call him benevolent, officials and friends call him his brother, and his friends call him. His benevolence is also called his faith in friendship. Seeing the father’s persistence, it does not mean that one does not dare to advance, it does not mean that one does not dare to retreat, and does not dare to be right without asking. This is also a trip to a filial son.”

Ling Wei said: “A husband is a son of man: you must tell when you come out, but you must face each other, what you travel must be constant, what you learn must be a career. Perseverance does not call old. If you are older than you are, it is the father’s business. As for the brothers, if five years are long, the shoulders will follow. If there are five people in a group, the elders must be different.”

“There are kings in the world, the country is divided into land, the capital is established, the temple is set up, and the temple is set up to sacrifice it. It is the number of relatives.”

Ling Wei said: “That’s why, the king has seven temples, one altar and one tank, which are called Kao Temple, Wang Kao Temple, Huang Kao Temple, Xian Kao Temple, and Zu Kao Temple; they are all sacrificed on the moon.”

An examiner took out the “Zhou Li” and said: “Si Jian is in charge of correcting the virtues of the people and persuading friends.”

Ling Wei said: “The Dao and art are based on their actions, inquiring about and observing them, and those who are able to distinguish their abilities and can serve in the affairs of the country, to test the governance of the country, to repeal the edict, and to do Forgive you.”

…

After several visits, all the examiners present participated in this extraordinary “back”. In addition to the four books and five classics in Ling Wei’s exam outline, there are hundreds of articles written by others. They have all checked one by one. Another hour has passed. In addition to letting the water continue, Ling Wei , Did not stop halfway.

Examiner Wu’s expression became more and more ugly. When everyone stopped “drawing their backs” and Ling Wei also smiled silently, the scene was silent.

Examiner Wu sighed.

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to Ling Wei, “It’s the heart of a villain. Ling Jin is a talented person, it’s better to be an official.”

“Why Lord Wu should be like this?” Ling Wei helped examiner Wu up and said, “Jintang is young, and the adults do not trust, and it is excusable. If the adults have agreed, then work together and don’t miss the imperial examination. .”

“Master Ling is magnanimous, but his subordinates can’t be brazen.” Examiner Wu’s face was ashamed, “The subordinates will ask your Majesty to resign and preside over the imperial examination.”

“Master Wu, why bother?” Ling Wei said hurriedly.

Examiner Wu shook his head: “The next official decided so.”

Ling Wei still wanted to persuade, but Examiner Wu resolutely left.

“It’s too late. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Zhao Zhao said, “The time for the imperial examination is approaching, and there are still a lot of things to do.”

Everyone left, and before leaving, they apologized to Ling Wei again, making Ling Wei embarrassed.

Obviously I am embarrassed, how can I embarrass others like myself.

“Good job, I didn’t shame the old man.” Before Zhao Zhao got into the carriage, he reluctantly praised Ling Wei.

Ling Wei touched his nose. Even if this matter is over?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This matter did not end there.

Examiner Wu was not talking about fun. He really resolutely resigned from the position of Examiner to His Majesty the Emperor. Now Ling Wei has proved that he is talented enough to serve as an examiner, and he is open-minded, and does not blame him for his embarrassment. This made him ashamed and unable to accept the post of examiner.

His Majesty the Emperor also persuaded him. Seeing that Examiner Wu had decided, he said: “Wu Aiqing is deceived, and you are not to blame. Aiqing’s ability to admit his shortcomings frankly shows that Aiqing is equally broad-minded and has noble morals.”
