Chapter 93 Exam

The King of Chu issued a guest summons and ordered other countries to be officials and officials in Chu to leave Chu. The reason is very simple, that is, Chu people live in the position of Chu people, and Chu people eat it. The world is so great that the wandering scholars are not without a place to live. The King of Chu sent guests without regard to the hearts of the scholars of the world and sent them to the hearts of the scholars of the world. There must be a king who would keep people to win the hearts of the scholars of the world, but some people cannot leave. If these people leave, it will be like a spider web being exposed, and it may not be able to be completed in ten or twenty years.

"The Empress Dowager has already said to King Jing, but King Jing has not said why he was expelled from the guest." In the unknown corner of Ying, the woman in the long skirt was still covering a piece of silk brocade. She came from the Chu Palace and most of the things in the palace were known. "The Empress Dowager asked again: Will the Zhao people also send them away? King Jing said that the ministers discussed whether they were the Jing people and sent them away. The Zhao people were also in this case. The Empress Dowager was unhappy and said that he would send me away too, but King Jing didn't say anything."

"It seems that there is no room for a turnaround in this matter." Mr. Yu was helpless. He couldn't say anything. He ordered the guests to send him off. The spies in Chu State were eight out of ten. This was not a problem of narrowing the intelligence network. This was a problem of many important figures losing contact. He refused to give up and said, "Can you say it again to the Empress Dowager, it would be better to make him furious and leave the country?"

"I'm afraid it's useless. Xun Qing left Chu as the Grand Tutor, which was a great rebellion. King Jing said, 'I am a barbarian', and he did not stay, but sent someone to see him off. The Empress Dowager was the Empress Dowager in Chu State. When she returned to Zhao State, she would no longer be the Empress Dowager, so she would not be the Empress Dowager." The woman expressed her judgment, but turned her eyes and saw that Huang Jun was staring at her, so she had to say, "I'll try it."

"No need to try." Mr. Yu changed his mind again, "You can ask who can offer this strategy." When he saw the woman again, he said, "This strategy is extremely vicious. Not only will it be expelled, but anyone who opposes this strategy is regarded as an alien. Before the Empress Dowager, you should not provoke them and their son on this matter. Instead, you should carefully comfort the Empress Dowager so that he can understand the difficulties of King Jing, and then..."

Then the woman knew what she should do, and because of this, she was a little panicked. What was the purpose of getting close to King Jing so hard?

"How is Mi Xuan in the palace?" The thing about seeing off guests jumped over, and Mr. Yu talked about another thing.

"Mi Xuan entered Jing on the orders of Queen Mother Zu. Queen Mother Zu wanted to marry Princess into the Qin Palace, but King Jing did not allow it." The woman said again.

"Just come just for this?" The Qin foreign relatives did not want to ask more questions, especially at this time when Xiong Qi, the king of Changping, was the prime minister.

"I'm afraid that I'll come to Qin. King Jing was very kind to Mi Xuan and asked him to be a civil servant in the bedroom. Mi Xuan is smart, and it is said that he has studied a lot in the Qin Palace..." The woman began to say what she heard in daily life. When she said it, Mr. Yu just listened and didn't speak.

"How old is this girl?" After hearing this, Mr. Huang asked another question.

"I just got to the hairpin." The woman said. "I have seen her once and she was born beautifully and was tall in the north. Compared with Princess Lu, each of them had a victory. Before she entered the Chu Palace, the empress dowager was displeased, so King Jing ordered her to live in Yangyuntai. Yes, there was another thing," the woman suddenly thought of one thing, "After the people of the country, King Jing will implement the nationality law."

"Nationality Law?" Mr. Yu was puzzled, but just looking at the literal meaning, he was a little clearer. He sighed again: "This is a reform!"

The 23,000 scholars took the exam to open all the palaces in Yingdu, and there was no such large examination room. Therefore, most scholars could only arrange for the open-air examination room. The open-air examination room was actually the open space in Yingdu City. In the brilliant spring light, there was a short table and a straw mat every five feet on the grass covered with green grass.

When Xiao He entered the table, he saw a sign on the grass with two big words "Peixian" written on it. Looking at the seats, there were a small piece of light yellow paper on the corners of the shorts, and the words "Peixian, Lu Wan" were posted. Then he looked at the next seat. The yellow paper said that there were four words "Peixian, Liu Bang". There were many scholars coming to Yingdu for the Peixian County to take the exam. Yongchi said there were 184 people in total. He was looking for a seat, and others were also looking for a seat. The more people sat down, he finally found the shorts with the words "Peixian, Xiao He" and sat down.

The past green grassland was a test site today. The Yingdu city at the end of the grassland was not only closed, but it was also reported that the examination site was also held. When Xiao He looked west, the bell rang, and everyone was puzzled. A group of temple people came out of the palace, and every two temple people followed three or four men. The temple people were holding the test papers that had just been distributed. Some of them entered the market and some of them entered the grassland.

Amid the gaze of 183 scholars in Pei County, the temple master and the priest finally rushed to the front. When a few people came, they did not speak, but counted the number of people in the test and took off the yellow paper that had not been on the table. After a moment, the bell rang again, and the first temple man bowed to everyone and said, "The temple people surrounded me, and I will invigilate the Pei County test. The instructions for the big test:

First, the major exam is not about selecting officials, but about selecting a village teacher. Those with excellent students can enter Ying to study, and return to their hometown to teach after completing their studies. I hope you will remember it.

Second, the grand test is two hours. The food starts and the corner stops. The clock rings. You can hand the test paper to the old slave, so don’t delay it. The old slave leaves the palace and enters the palace in this grand test. There are regular schedules, and there will be no punishment for outdated time, so I will not wait.

Third, the test bell rings for a quarter of an hour. Those who are late cannot enter the venue. The food is not finished and the papers are not allowed to be handed in. Those who are in the toilet can use the scholars.

Fourth, during the examination, scholars are not allowed to make noise, whisper, look around, and snatch, or peep around, or plagiarize or intentionally make others copy, and they are not allowed to copy..."

There were only a few instructions before the exam, and the temple people finished reading it quickly. But the scholars heard it novelty, and this exam was also novel. As for being an official or a village teacher, everyone had already thought about it. He recommended himself, and what everyone wants now is the king to put himself in his pocket in order to get out. If the true appearance is revealed, it will be no problem to become an official in the future.

The test paper was finally sent out, and the printing instrument printed the test paper in a very exquisite way. The most surprising thing is that the characters on it are not Chu, but Song characters, and the questions are even more outstanding. The first question is: Can you tell how old the Song Dynasty is? Let me give you an example of the people of Song that you respect and tell me the truth about the respect.

How old is the Song Dynasty? Xiao He was stunned for a moment. He not only remembered the Song Dynasty that had been destroyed for 49 years, but also the Xiao State that had been destroyed for 360 years. His ancestor was the Xiao State. Every time the clan elders sacrificed their sacrifices, they would think of the Xiao State more than 300 years ago. The clan elders also gave the same warning in his crown ceremony.

There is not only such questions on the test paper, there are also arithmetics and poems for the Five Classics. Overall, it is not difficult and is a relatively simple knowledge. The only thing that puzzles Xiao He is this question: pulling seedlings to help grow, waiting for the rabbit, wild people reveal their feelings, and wise sons doubt their neighbors... Why do countries often make fun of the Song people?

"I've seen the king." The city, the weeds in the city were crowded with scholars for the big exam. When the exam was about to end, Xiong Jing, who had changed his clothes, came out to inspect. The king had changed clothes and the temple people recognized it. They were about to salute, but he stopped him.

Xiong Jing just wanted to come and see that such an exam was the first time for the Chu State. More than 20,000 scholars, about one-tenth to one-fifth of them would be admitted. After admission, they would become the first batch of normal students, study at Yingdu Normal School for one and a half years to two years, and then graduate and start formal teaching in the fall of the following year.

The time left for Chu State is not enough, but it takes a long time to train teachers. However, no matter how much it is, it takes so much time to train teachers. In the countryside, teachers are very important, and their status is equivalent to wizards or pastors, and are respected by everyone. However, these scholars are all selfish. If the string of courage is not added to the mind, then one or two honorary scholars who graduated from military academy in the rural school are assigned to teach students bravery. The most fear of their minds being filled with Mencius-like benevolence, which is hopeless.

The struggle between Confucianism and Law, Xunzi's "Not Fourteen Sons" and Yang Jimo..., ideological struggles have existed hundreds of years ago, and ignoring them is self-deception. Mencius's benevolence and righteous opponents are the most attractive. When they move their mouths, others have to pay for it, otherwise they are unkind.

For such people, debate is useless. They use the world's righteousness as their weapon, and he makes sense no matter how they say it. The best way is to be simple and rough, swing a stick or just chop a sword, and the matter will be knotted - it seems that when Alexander conquered a certain place, there was a knot in the temple, which no one could untie, and the oracle said that whoever could untie the knot would rule here and become the king here. Alexander did not untie the knot, but he split the knot in half with one sword.

The meaning of the story is very simple. Things that are difficult to solve in wisdom, and force only requires a sword. The Confucian theory with Mencius is like breaking the knot in a temple, solving problems according to other people's methods, and turning their problems into their own problems, and the misfortune of the world becomes one's own misfortune.

If we abandon the major premise that Confucian scholars forced the "world and all people" and all problems will be solved easily. Just like now, "scholars of the world" are a prerequisite. If we worry about "scholars of the world", the guests will not be able to be expelled, and the Qin spies will not be able to clear them. It doesn't matter what "scholars of the world" think, and doing their own things will become very simple.

In the inspection, Xiong Jing was not really inspecting, but was thinking about paying attention to his governance ideas: First of all, he is the king of Chu and the Chu people, which is the premise of everything. Therefore, he only cares about the interests of Chu and more importantly: the interests of Chu people, except for this, everything else is a business, and can be ignored.

"King..." A temple man didn't know that the king had something in his mind, so he came to report it rashly, which made Xiong Jing glar at him.

"What's the matter?" Xiong Jing, whose thoughts were interrupted, asked coldly.

"Please look there, king." This is the Chen County Examination Hall. The temple's people pointed at a place not far away. There were several women wearing deep clothes.

"Woman?" Xiong Jing remembered Qu Sui said that a woman participated in this major exam, but she didn't expect that there would be one.

"You go and have a look." Xiong Jing went over and saw it was too silly, so he told Mi Xuan to go.

Mi Xuan was wearing a civil servant's uniform, her hair was stuffed into a hat, but her eyebrows were picturesque and her skin was fair. You could tell at a glance that she was a woman. The ladies sitting on the table were writing seriously, and her inspection did not alarm anyone. After she came back, she said, "I am really talented and my handwriting is beautiful."
