At that moment, the yamen officials moved some chairs and Wang Zhixian began writing with ink. Soon a gorgeous document was written.

After Lin Yuanlei saw it, he happily picked up the brush, signed his name on it, and pressed his fingerprints.

After he finished writing, he turned to look at Li Yi, his face full of provocation.

Li Yi ignored his provocation and stepped forward to take a look.

Wang Zhixian is worthy of being a Jinshi. His words are just right and his diction is gorgeous. It makes people feel soul-stirring. They can not only understand the process of the matter, but also feel the urgency and danger involved.

There are six questions in this competition, all of which are passed by the school. The county examination is generally not difficult. As long as the questions are solved skillfully and accurately and the diction is acceptable, you can usually pass.

Picking up the pen and signing his name, Li Yi looked solemn, knowing that the matter had reached a critical juncture.

The onlookers and scholars crowded around and approached. Fortunately, there were government officials and scholars blocking the way, and an open space was created.

Despite this, the whole scene was very lively. The noise in the crowd turned into waves, like an overwhelming ocean. More than a thousand people were staring at Li Yi in the middle, with curiosity, excitement, amusement, doubt, and want in their eyes.

Look at how talented this handsome young man who has been thrust into the limelight is.

Among the crowd, Sun Han, who was wearing a Confucian robe, was hidden in the crowd. He looked deeply at Li Yi's arrogant figure. It took him a long time to sigh, and he couldn't tell whether it was hatred or intolerance.

Li Yi looked at the enthusiastic crowd around him and felt a little nervous.

"Why, are you scared? If you just admit defeat, it will be more respectable." Lin Yuanlei said with a sneer.

Li Yi took back his mind and ignored him. He walked up to Wang Zhixian and said, "Your Majesty, you can start now."

Wang Zhixian sighed and said to Li Yi: "Zizheng, are you sure? If not, it's still too late to regret it now."

This examination is related to his own imperial examination and Wangzhi County's official career. It is extremely important to both himself and Wangzhi County. How can Li Yi back down?

At that moment, he nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, Lord County."

After hearing this, Wang Zhixian raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, walked to the seat and sat down.

This matter is so important to me that I can only sit aside and watch, and can do nothing else.

A yamen official struck a gong to signify the start of the school examination.

The scene became quiet at that moment, and everyone looked at Lin Yuanlei who asked the question.

Being so focused on, Lin Yuanlei couldn't help but feel a little elated. He took a folding fan and walked around twice, then said: "Brother Li, you are still in school for a short period of time. If you can't answer a single question,

, to avoid being ridiculed by others, I will give a simpler first question."

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "I am determined to learn at fifteen, I am established at thirty, I am not confused at forty, I know the destiny at fifty, my ears are attuned at sixty, I follow my heart's desires without going beyond the rules at seventy. Please follow me, Brother Li.

Let’s break this sentence!”

This sentence comes from the Analects of Confucius, which means Confucius said: "When I was fifteen years old, I began to determined to study; when I was thirty years old, I could stand on my own in the world; when I was forty years old, I was no longer confused when encountering problems; when I was fifty years old, I understood what destiny is.

When you are sixty, you can listen to different opinions; when you are seventy, you can do whatever you want and do whatever you want without going beyond the rules."

While Li Yi was still thinking, Lin Yuanlei walked around waving his fan, looking sideways at Li Yi and said: "Oh, Brother Li still wants to think about such a simple question? It seems that this question is not easy for Brother Li."

After saying that, he closed his fan, knocked his head, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, I knew the Analects by heart when I was seven years old, and I could recite chapters of the Analects by the time I was ten. Brother Li was born as a refugee, and he just started to study this year.

It’s okay to learn even if you don’t know. In that case, I’ll give you some pointers.”

Lin Yuanlei laughed and said: "This article is from the fourth chapter of the Analects of Confucius. It is said in Zhu Zi's annotations that the ancients entered university at the age of fifteen. What is in the heart is called ambition. This so-called learning is the way of university. Ambition

Since this is the case, I will keep thinking about it and never get tired of it. Just solve the problem from here..."

After he finished solving the problem, the scholars immediately burst into applause.

Because the momentum was not small, it immediately infected the people who were watching the excitement. The people also shouted and applauded one after another, making Lin Yuanlei's face even more proud.

At this time, a scholar said: "Brother Lin is so generous, and the world is such that he still leaves some face to the villain Li Yi. He really has the style of a gentleman in ancient times."

The scholar next to him also echoed: "Brother Lin is the head of the case. His talent, knowledge, and virtue are all human qualities. I am ashamed of him."

Everyone was praising Lin Yuanlei, but Bai Qingtian among the scholars whispered: "It's really insidious to try to please the public and deliberately use words to interfere with Li Yi's thinking. These common people don't know the depth, and they interfered with Li Yi by shouting, and they were used by the scholars.

Extremely stupid."

A scholar next to him heard this and turned to look at him.

When Bai Qingtian saw this, he immediately lowered his voice and turned around, pretending to be talking to himself.

"Why, I gave you so many hints and you haven't figured it out yet?" Lin Yuanlei walked over, waving his fan and said with a smile on his face.

But the look in Li Yi's eyes was full of ridicule.

Li Yi already had the answer in his heart, and ignored Lin Yuanlei, saying: "The key to solving the problem is that the saints can only reach Tao gradually."

"Haha." The scholar on the side laughed loudly and pointed at Li Yi and said, "It's really ridiculous. Brother Lin has already reminded him to find a solution to the problem from Cheng Zhu's annotations, but he didn't bother with this sentence at all. It's really ridiculous."

The scholar turned to look at the person next to him with a big smile on his face, but found that his face was full of embarrassment and there was no smile on his face.

The scholar didn't know why, and his face was full of doubts.

It was the scholar next to him who said, "Li Yi's method of solving the problem came from Mr. Zhenchuan. This method is really suitable for solving the problem."

Gui Youguang was born in the Jiajing period, with the courtesy name Xifu and Kaifu, also nicknamed Zhenchuan and Xiang Jisheng, and was known as "Mr. Zhenchuan". He was famous throughout the country, even relying on the arrogant Xu Wenchang (Xu Wenchang).

Xu Wei) also respected him in awe. He admired the ancient prose of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and his prose style was simple and sincere. He was a representative writer of the "Tang and Song School" in the Ming Dynasty. He was called "Today's Ouyang Xiu" and later generations praised his prose as "Mingwen".

First". Together with Tang Shunzhi and Wang Shenzhong, they are known as the "Three Jiajing Masters". They are also as famous as Hu Youxin and are known as "Gui Hu" in the world.

Who in the world dares to say that everyone is wrong about such an off-topic statement?

After hearing the explanation, the common people also burst into laughter, pointing at a group of scholars, and their words lacked respect.

When the scholar who had just uttered the wild words reacted, his face turned green and he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

The scholars around him were also blushing, secretly complaining about the unlearned and incompetent student, who was discrediting them.

Lin Yuanlei had real talent and knowledge, and of course he knew that Li Yi was absolutely correct in solving the problem, and his expression suddenly changed.

The sages who attained the Tao can only attain it gradually. It just destroyed the meaning of the question I just asked. What is ridiculous is that I still relied on the old method to solve the question and went to Cheng and Zhu's annotations to find a solution. This time I was slapped hard in the face by Li Yi

.

Wang Zhixian was sitting on the side, with no trace of worry on his face. He said with a smile on his face: "This solution is extremely skillful and very good."

But he was also surprised that Li Yi had not been studying classics for a long time, but how could he solve problems so well.

He had this question, and Zhang Sibao next to him was full of questions. He immediately asked: "Li Yi, how did you come up with this solution to the problem?"

Li Yi turned to look at him and said, "Have I answered this question?"

Wang Zhixian next to him said: "This sentence is a very good answer to the question. Of course I answered it."

"That's good." Li Yi said: "A few days ago, I stayed at my senior brother Sun Han's house and looked through the books on his desk. Among them were "The Four Books of Qin Ding Zhengjia" and Gui Youguang's "I Have Five" in the second volume.

I have read this sentence in the first chapter of "Aiming to Learn", so I can answer it."

""The Four Books of Zhengjia"?" Wang Zhixian asked in surprise: "You just read it once and can you remember this sentence?"

Li Yi responded respectfully: "That's true."
Chapter completed!
