It is difficult to pretend to be deaf and dumb in historical thesis topics, especially when it comes to issues of reform and non-reform.

However, the Gu County Magistrate also gave the candidate a way to survive for this question.

Compare Zhuge Wuhou and Wang Jinggong!

There have been countless powerful people who have made great reforms in history. During the Warring States Period, the Li Kui reform in Wei State, and the Wu Qi reform in Chu State, Wu Qi and Li Kui were all from the Xihe School. The Xihe School was founded by Confucius' disciple Zixia, and Zhang Juzheng of the former Ming Dynasty, Zhang Taiyue's reform. If Zhang Taiyue's reform had not met Emperor Wanli, it would have been successful. However, even if it failed, it would have lasted nearly a hundred years of life for the Ming Dynasty. The one-whip method he created has been used to this day...

Compared with Zhang Juzheng, Wang Anshi's reform was undoubtedly a complete failure. He was abolished by the conservatives during his lifetime and was later demoted to a traitor!

But who is Zhuge Liang?

Those who do not shed tears when they read "The Memorial to the Master of the Emperor" will be unfaithful; those who do not shed tears when they read "The Memorial to the Emperor of the Emperor" will be unfilial; those who do not shed tears when they read "The Essay of the Twelve Langs" will be unfamiliar...

With comparison with Prime Minister Cao, Zhuge Wuhou was elevated to the point that he was comparable to Duke Zhou.

One loyal and one traitor.

This historical topic should not be too simple.

Bai Gui was prepared for this county examination. Whether it was the Four Books or the Five Classics, he corrected it when he asked many senior brothers for advice. Of course, it was mixed in other articles... Even if the senior brother occasionally found out, he would only treat it as a blind cat and meet a dead mouse.

He continued to write: "What? Wu Hou did not use his skills as Shen Shang, and Jing Gong used his realities as Shen Shang and tabooed his name. How could he know that? Historically, Wu Hou was sincere, publicized justice, and devoted his loyalty to others. Those who were indignant of the law would be rewarded, and those who violated the law would be punished even if they were neglected."

What does Confucianism advocate? Benevolence and etiquette!

"The Book of Rites: Liyun Chapter" says what is needed to reach a society of great harmony? What is needed is "the world is for the public, select the wise and capable, and be faithful and harmonious."

So what does this sentence mean that Zhuge Liang has no intention of Shenshang, but uses the technique of Shenshang and what is the "heart" used? It is the Confucian way of benevolence and etiquette, which is explained in the Book of Rites...

Who is important in Taoism and art?

It's clear!

Zhuge Liang used Confucian Taoism and implemented the Shenshang technique, which led to the success of Zhuge Liang's reform.

Once this reform is involved in a positive way, it can be said that it has been mostly successful.

"Wang Jinggong was glad to have the ambition to correct the world and change the customs. He deeply saw that the world was ill-fated by the accumulated habits. He would be stubborn if he was not firm in law enforcement. He also considered that the study of Shenshang was not enough to convince the court and the country, so he tabooed his name and implied it to Zhou Li to make a statement."

He wrote this sentence on, smiling.

Yin has many meanings. Here Yin is a false loan, which corresponds to the grand road.

The previous text echoes.

Why did Wang Anshi not succeed in the reform? Because Wang Anshi did not use Confucianism like Zhuge Liang, but was not sincere and taboo to others for saying that he used Shenshang, and then used ancient reforms to carry out reforms in the name of Zhou Li.

One is to use Tao, and the other is to use technique!

Soon, an article was about to appear on the paper.

Bai Gui turned his pen and then wrote a summary, "Alas! Administration is not human, and even if it has good laws and beautiful intentions, it is enough to harm it. Therefore, Cheng Zi said: Regarding the meaning of Julinzhi, you can then practice the law of Zhou officials. ... Wuhou will assist him, and Jinggong will assist him, and Jinggong will attack him, but this is not the misfortune of Jinggong, but also the misfortune of the Song Dynasty."

This sentence seems to mean that I agree with reform, but reform is to be implemented by people like Zhuge Liang, not by people like Wang Anshi. But who knows whether the reform is carried out by people like Zhuge Liang?

Conservative remarks!

The "Guan Ju Linzhi" mentioned by Cheng Zi comes from the "Book of Songs·Zhou Nan·Preface": "However, the transformation of Guan Ju Linzhi is the king's style, so it is the Duke of Zhou."

This sentence is also an idiom that congratulates people on their birth of children, "Linzhichengxiang."

In other words, who can preside over the reform? Only those outstanding figures can preside over the...

...

All three questions were written on plain paper. Bai Guizai carefully checked them over and over again, and recalled the methods of avoiding taboos by professors of Bailu Academy to see if there are any points in these articles. If there are points in taboos, they will either be changed to synonyms or removed to show respect for the emperor.

For example, Qian Xuantong, a master of the Republic of China, had a word Xuan with Emperor Kangxi Xuanye, so in order to avoid taboos, he could only remove the word Xuan a little.

After reading one by one, I found that the text was not added and there were no mistakes and I breathed a sigh of relief.

He nourished his heart and respected the gods for a while.

At this time, a candidate who had already answered the exam went to the court to hand in the papers and asked the Gu County Magistrate to review the papers. The time was much earlier than before the end of the exam.

Bai Gui was not panicked.

From primary school to junior high school, junior high school to high school, college entrance examination, and tests are simulated one after another. He dares to say that when it comes to exam mentality, the candidates in the world are not as good as him. Only in the future will he be a real intra-study country.

Although the Confucian scholars in this world studied hard, hanging their heads on the beam and piercing their thighs, they were worse than those in later generations.

There were table lamps in later generations, and reading at night with candles was common. Eat with meat and a meal was nutritious. There was no need to run around for three meals. The time for reading in later generations was better than the present.

No matter which teacher, I warn the students before the exam, never hand in the papers in advance.

Submit the paper in advance?

That is the treatment of a god of learning, and a master of learning will not waste this opportunity for a while.

Of course, submitting papers in advance also has the advantage of submitting papers in advance. They can be noticed by the examiner Gu County Magistrate early. Maybe someone is happy and will directly admit them and take the exam for the next exam.

The county test ends when the drum beats in Shenshi.

It's about two hours away.

It can be said that compared with people, there is a bigger gap between people and dogs. The god of learning finished writing early, and the poor student had to think hard until they were removed.

A moment later, Bai Gui picked up his pen again after resting, and he took a deep breath.

When writing, focus on energy and spirit.

The Yan style he imitates now only has its shape but no spirit. If he writes it out in a hurry, his shape will be scattered.

Pen to fall.

Translate all the contents on the plain paper.

Some Confucian scholars often do not pay attention to copying and directly answer the test paper. Although this can save time, it is simply a disaster for people with poor calligraphy and poor literary thinking.

There are no more papers for the test papers, so I will not give them any other ones.

The sky gradually darkened, and some exam rooms also had candlelights.

"call!"

Bai Gui carefully dried the handwriting of each test paper to prevent the ink from staining the test paper. When he was probably still some time left, he walked to the court with the test paper and presented it to the clerk who had long stood beside him.

It is also considered as handing in the paper a few minutes in advance. There is an advantage when handing in the paper at this time. The one who should leave has left, and the scholar who still left the pen is waiting for the clerk to collect the paper.

The Gu County Magistrate yawned, turned a deaf ear, waved his hand, and asked the clerk to put the test paper aside.

When Bai Gui saw the appearance of the Gu County Magistrate, he knew that he was tired of reviewing the papers. After giving a gift, he returned to the examination room with the tolerance, took the examination basket, and walked out of the examination room slowly.
Chapter completed!
