Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Just when Mr. Zhao published all the manuscripts of Zhang Qingfeng's Fengshenyanyi storytelling, Zhang Qingfeng was already in the examination room of the government examination.

More than a month ago, Zhang Qingfeng registered at the Lin'an government office.

In the ancient imperial examinations, it was very troublesome to register. Not only did you have to explain the names and places of origin of the three generations of grandparents, but you also had to have a certificate issued by the local township Lili Township, or a letter of recommendation from the academy.

But this is not difficult for Zhang Qingfeng, he easily obtained the qualification for the government examination.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng felt a little bit troubled when he saw the questions posed by the court.

Originally, he thought that with his knowledge and memorization of the Four Books and Five Classics, it would be easy to pass the government examination.

However, when he actually took the test, he was a little dumbfounded.

The first session of the interpretation is to examine the meaning of the scriptures, "Poems", "Books", "Book of Changes", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Li", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", etc., mainly the Four Books and Five Classics.

What confused Zhang Qingfeng was that the examiner did not set the questions according to the original text, but selected a few sentences from these scriptures, and then you can play freely.

For example, Zhang Qingfeng saw the topic:

The first topic is: "The way of the university lies in clear virtue, in being close to the people, and in ending in the ultimate goodness and righteousness."

The second title is: "Neutrality and not relying on strong corrections."

The third topic is: "To the people of the world, gather the world's own goods, trade and return, and everyone gets what they want."

If it is filling in the blanks, or silently writing scriptures, Zhang Qingfeng can say that he can do it easily, but such questions are a bit difficult for him.

Do you write a few essays on these topics?

Certainly not.

Zhang Qingfeng had to admit that he underestimated the ancient imperial examinations.

But fortunately, Zhang Qingfeng has Yang Sanlang's memory, finally spent a day, Zhang Qingfeng barely wrote three articles.

The next day, the second question of the government test came out, which was a test of poetry and fu.

This is Zhang Qing's strength. He remembers a lot of poems after the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, when Zhang Qingfeng saw the title.He was dumbfounded.

The title is: "Li Bai wore a palace brocade robe at night and went boating to quarry stones.", and the rhyme is "Looking around and smiling proudly, as if there is no one else around."

That is to say, the title requires the use of the eight characters Gu, Zhan, Xiao, Ao, Pang, Ruo, Wu, and Ren as the rhyme of the poem, that is, the last word of the poem must be these eight characters.

Zhang Qingfeng searched quickly in his mind, and finally he had to admit that there seemed to be no poems with these eight characters as rhymes, or he had never seen any poems with these eight characters as rhymes.

At this moment, Zhang Qingfeng felt a little sad. If you asked him to copy a poem, he could copy a poem for you that could be passed down through the ages, but asking him to write a poem would be difficult for him.

After trying for several hours, Zhang Qingfeng finally had to give up his idea of ​​writing Fu in despair.

He couldn't bear to look at the things he barely put together.

How to do?

Judging from the current situation, the subject of Poetry and Fu must be decided.

Even so, Zhang Qingfeng decided to hand in a poem that could be passed down through the ages. Maybe the examiner saw that his poem was good and passed it to him?

Thus, Zhang Qingfeng picked up a pen and began to write:

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.

Success or failure turned empty.

Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.

The white-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu used to watch autumn and spring.

A jug of muddy wine meets together.

Many things from ancient to modern times are all being discussed with laughter.

----

This is not a poem, nor a fu, but a poem written by Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Qingfeng can only go to the doctor in a hurry at this time.

After writing one article, he still felt that it was not enough. He planned to write more articles, which might be useful.

With this kind of fluke mentality, he wrote again: withered vines, old trees and dark crows, small bridges and flowing water, people, ancient roads, westerly winds and thin horses.Sunset, heartbroken people in the horizon.

This is a poem written by Ma Zhiyuan in the Yuan Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Zhang Qingfeng felt that it was not enough, so he had an idea.

"Can you write a modern poem hundreds of years later, so that the examiners of the Song Dynasty can learn a lot?"

Regarding this government examination, Zhang Qingfeng had no hope of expressing any hope, and he would definitely not pass the imperial examination.

Rather than failing to pass the exam in obscurity, it is better to do something memorable.

Zhang Qingfeng thought for a while, and he planned to move Golf's "Song of Haiyan" to Song Dynasty.

On the vast sea, a gust of wind gathers dark clouds.

Between the dark clouds and the sea, petrels are flying proudly like black lightning...

This poem is very famous all over the world.

Reading the whole poem is like being on the scene, which can bring people a deep shock.

Especially the last sentence: let the storm come more violently!This is the finishing touch of this poem.

What is the most touching thing about poetry is that it can give people various emotions.

And this song of Haiyan can give people a passionate emotion.

Anyway, Zhang Qingfeng thinks this poem is very good, but he doesn't know if the ancient people's aesthetics can understand it.

Of course, Zhang Qingfeng also modified some words, such as the penguins and elves in it.

Zhang Qingfeng passed the poetry and fu exam on the second day.

On the third day, discuss policy theory.

The title is: Jin Wu defeated Wu through dictatorship, Fu Jian defeated Jin because of dictatorship and died; Qi Huan dedicated himself to Guan Zhong and became dominant, and Yan Kuai dedicated himself to his son and failed. They did the same thing but had different achievements. Why?

It means: Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, was dictatorial and destroyed Wu to unify the world. Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty was dictatorial and lost the battle of Feishui and subjugated the country. Duke Huan of Qi appointed Guan Zhong to dominate. ,why?

Such a question, with Zhang Qingfeng's knowledge hundreds of thousands of years ahead, can easily know the answer.

However, his answer may not be an answer that people in the Song Dynasty can accept.

No matter what, Zhang Qingfeng is ready to seriously answer this policy theory, regardless of whether people in the Song Dynasty can accept this answer.

He was going to start with the centralization of power and the ability of the imperial court to organize.

The meaning of centralization is very simple, that is, the centralization of all rights belongs to the center of the imperial court. When the center of the imperial court makes an order, no local government dares not to obey.

Organizational ability refers to how fast and how determined the local government can implement the orders of the imperial court after the imperial court orders them.

If the imperial court issued an order, local officials could immediately implement the order and be meticulous, then the imperial court's organizational ability was strong.

Only with strong organizational capabilities can the reform of the imperial court be successful.

He cited the success of Shang Yang's reform because the local officials of the Qin Dynasty were able to implement the government orders meticulously.

This proves that Qin's organizational ability is very strong.

A negative example is Wang Anshi's reform. Although it was a good government order, it was exploited by local officials and evil gentry and turned into a law that harmed the people.

This shows that Da Song's organizational ability is extremely low.

In the end, he wrote that no matter who reforms the law, it will touch the interests of some people and be opposed by many people. Only when the power of the imperial court is strong enough to suppress everything, and there are some strong organizational and execution capabilities, can the reform succeed.

Of course, Zhang Qingfeng's policy theories are all written in classical Chinese, and they are slightly crooked, but he wrote it like this.

After finishing writing, Zhang Qingfeng handed in the paper directly.

Today is the last exam, Zhang Qingfeng has no hope for this exam, so he doesn't bother to stay in the exam room any longer.

"Saburo, how did you do in the exam?"

When Zhang Qingfeng left the examination room, he saw his father Yang Maocai waiting for him outside.

Seeing Zhang Qingfeng coming out, Yang Maocai joined him immediately.
