After saying that when Qiqian Juzi went back, most of the people who were holding the meal immediately called for a banquet, filled their stomachs, then immediately took a shower, and then snored and fell asleep.

Everyone was exhausted during the half-day palace examination.

The next day, at noon, Ju Zi woke up one after another. Ye Qing slept well and had just used breakfast in the morning. He saw that the tribute shop was already full of lights and had a Jihe in advance.

I just wanted to take a break, but I didn't expect Fu Chengshan and Kong Zhi to come, saying that it was right.

Half an hour later, both of them were a little dazed. Fu Chengshan looked pale and silently stared at Ye Qing. After a long time, he said: "I don't know what to say about this, but I don't know how to evaluate it."

Kong Zhi pondered for a moment, but slowly said, "Brother Ye, this principle seems to be reasonable, but the great way emphasizes the nature of one's life. How can it be seen?"

The so-called from nature to life means being able to detach from mind and analyze and guide reality.

Ye Qing smiled. The yard here was very deep. Ye Qing said, "If we don't talk about the big things, we just talk about the family. The family uses blood clan law as a fence, which is understandable."

Seeing the two nodded, Ye Qing continued, "From the ruler of the cage theory, the patriarchal law is strict, and the direct illegitimate branches are too clear. They stipulate what can be done and what cannot be done. Every move has family rules, which makes the illegitimate branches unable to move. This is the cage."

"The cage is not useless. It can be used in a short period of time and gather the power of the entire clan. This is called "sheng, or "xing," and "sing," and so on. This is how small clans come here."

Fu Chengshan and Kong Zhi thought about it carefully, and they couldn't help but listened silently.

"But people can endure a cage for a while, but they can't stand a lifelong cage. They are trapped in the cage, only one meal and one cage, and sacrifice for the tribe. It's okay for a short time. Seeing that a country has been built, the third floor and five halls of the legitimate house, the sunshine and rain are shining in the narrow cage, and there is only one trough of food. What do you think will happen?" Ye Qing smiled.

Kong Zhi's face was a little pale, while Fu Chengshan twitched his lips and couldn't speak for a moment. Then he listened to Ye Qing continuing to say: "This resentment is probably human nature. The cage is a bit precarious, so add a cage. The cage could jump and shout, but now it can't jump or shout."

"The more harsh the cage wire, the tighter it becomes, and the more resentment it becomes. Even if you cannot break the cage for a while, you will no longer be able to contribute to the clan. You just want to hit the bell and watch coldly - this is called "decline,"

"This clan has no energy to advance with sincerity and strength. If there are no external troubles, it can maintain the peace and gradually decline. However, there are seven or eight large clans in the county. If you have a deep breath, others will surpass you, erode you, and attack you."

Kong Zhi asked, "What should I do if I measure it by your cage theory?"

Ye Qing was a little depressed and thought: "Actually, this is very common in the clan. Generally speaking, prosperity is achieved after making progress, and he can change to a large cage."

"Although it's still a cage, everyone's requirements are not high, so they are satisfied."

"If it is a grand clan, for example, your Kong family and Fu family have inherited poetry and books, and have inherited etiquette and law. They have always attached great importance to the academic studies of the clan and have a reputation for family members.

"As long as your family is constantly learning and your family reputation is not bad, you two tribes will be valued by others when you are born."

"Even if there is a strict system, as long as your two tribes participate in the imperial examination within a reasonable range, you can raise a few places, and it is even more convenient to get married to the government."

Speaking of this, Ye Qing smiled strangely: "Is it better to have a good family than ten years of struggle?"

"If you think about it carefully, do you treat your studies equally in your clan? If someone wants to make an article on this point, will it end up in a miserable way?"

"The family affairs of a large family are in trouble. There are many things that need to be confused and closed. But if you dare to ruin your family tradition, will the end be terrible and miserable?"

Ye Qing said this, and when he saw the two of them, he smiled with satisfaction: "Reading, family style, and blood relatives, this is the way of the fence of a large clan. If you want to hang a fierce horse in your study, you are indulging in or even urging your children to gallop. Whoever is in front of you has to appreciate it, but if anyone wants to break the rules and break the fence, even if it is a relative, he will deal with it altogether. I think there is no shortage of such examples in all dynasties."

"If you think about it carefully, do these have become the marks of your children? As soon as you go out, someone said that this is a child of the Kong family, and this is a child of the Fu family."

After the two thought for a long time, Kong Zhi came to his senses and said, "Brother Ye didn't wake up this matter, I'm afraid we would never think about it until we die. In fact, this is not profound, but every word is pearl and jade."

Fu Chengshan listened in a daze and said in contemplation: "I heard it, and I was surprised when I heard it, but now I think about it, don't the other patriarchs know?"

"Theory should not be a system, but the patriarch is a temporary choice. Instinctively, the benefits of cages and fences are too great. They use more cages and frames to bind heroes. The remaining grasslands are all from the main family's legitimate house. If a fence is built, tens of thousands of horses will rush, the legitimate house will not have much advantage - Brother Fu and Brother Kong, your family is a famous family, and you can implement the method of fences. Think seriously, are there many proportions of scholars and scholars among your legitimate houses?"

Ye Qing stood up and walked a few steps, smiling: "The clan is prosperous, and the clan is full of thousands of horses, and the clan is expensive. In the final analysis, should we love the clan or the clan? Of course, it is not so clear that black and white are so clear, so we must adjust the cage according to the actual situation. This is called walking with the world."

Fu Chengshan and Kong Zhi thought about it carefully and both changed their colors

Ye Qing nodded and said with a little gloomy: "That's all about this. The theory of cages is just a ruler for me to see the world."

"The Taoist king, emperor, emperor, officials, or other rulers to measure it - so don't take it to heart. Just wait for the results of this imperial examination to be serious."

Imperial City Gongyuan

All kinds of discussions outside were isolated by the heavy tribute court, and even the silk wind could not be blown in.

The hall is brightly lit, with only the rustling sound of rice paper rubbing, and occasionally there is some communication sound. After the desk, everyone is a person who carefully reviews the papers.

The chief examiner Tong Shan and the invigilator just watched quietly.

There are hundreds of people in the chief and deputy examiners of the third hall, supervisory inspectors, and reviewers, and hundreds of people, who are busy in an orderly manner.

The primary election is still deposed according to the system. If the answer is not finished, or the quality is obviously poor, it can be deposed. However, when it comes to the level of the juren, there are few papers that are directly deposed when they dare to take the exam. Although the volume is seven thousand, there are only two articles, and the text volume is not large.

The test papers were quickly classified and stacked, and there were 300 copies of the dismissed. Because the questions were small and thin, they were piled up only three feet high. This was the scrap paper. Unless the text was prominent and the text was attracted to the review when the seal was opened, no one would pay attention to it.

Then choose to choose the right paper. Those who are qualified to mark the papers will be divided into four stacks according to A, B, C and D.

Ding Juan basically failed the exam.

A, B, and C have three thousand, one hundred and fifty volumes.

Tong Shan looked at the division and then glanced at the six invigilators below, calmed down and said to the invigilator: "The primary election has been completed, please ask fellow Taoists to open the Dharma ban.

The Taoist did not speak, and reached out and pressed the jade seal. The Taoist domain was still there, silently untied the ban on literary qi and blessed him to make it appear in the world.

"Boom" The muffled thunder rolled, and white air appeared from each document. This was no longer a fountain, but a big wave of tides surged, sweeping by like a storm.

The white tide rolled, and the literary atmosphere was like the sea, flooding the entire hall. Then it stormed and stopped. Each returned to this volume, rapidly sublimating its complexion, from white to red, from red to yellow

The whole hall was golden, and the rise of thousands of scrolls slowed down. Most of them gradually stopped, and only a small half climbed towards the blue color.

Everyone had already made predictions when they selected the papers. When they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but be dazzling: "This year, they are amazing and beautiful, and have accumulated a lot of profound accumulations... It's really terrifying and admirable.

Tong Shan sighed and nodded in agreement. He was basically golden and literary when he was able to attend the palace examination. In the past, only about one-tenth of the previous session was blue and yellow, with dozens of volumes of blue, some deep or light.

All three lists were selected above the literary green and yellow, but at this time, everyone looked at them and found that five hundred volumes had reached the green and yellow, and hundreds of volumes had the green color.

At this time, the literary spirit basically stopped. Someone wanted to go over to carry the book. Tong Shan waved his hand and said, "Wait."

Several chief and deputy examiners looked at each other and were surprised to see each other.

After a moment, a roll continued. After a long time, a trace of purple aura appeared and turned into a little light purple in the dark blue.

In the stunned everyone, Tong Shan glanced at the Taoist, sighed secretly, and waited for a while, and there was no strange sight. Tong Shan looked at the real person and said, "Does the real person think it is okay?"

The real person looked at the paper and saw that they were basically among the A and B, and said: "May"

Tong Shan said instructed: "Please take all the papers above the green color, and first select the second Jinshi."

"Yes" means that there are officials who have brought the green and above papers. They all acted carefully, holding the treasure. When they were holding it on the stage, they couldn't help but glance. The first volume was written: Ye Qing, Pingshou County, Nancang County, Yingzhou.

Tong Shan took the test without saying a word, and the deputy examiner kicked the official and signaled him to continue doing things. Tong Shan just did not know how to do it, and looked at Ye Qing's book.

"Yin and Yang are called Tao, and four directions are parallel to each other"

I have read the article twice, but now the third time now, Tong Shan secretly praised it: "It's rare to find this guy, and he can go further."

Several chief and deputy examiners came up, held the collected green papers and placed them carefully on the long table.

The Taoist glanced at the hall and saw that Qingjuan had no omissions, so he nodded slightly.

The examiners sat down behind the table, sorted the hundreds of volumes in a preliminary manner according to the literary style, and finally determined the first twenty-three volumes, and decided on the key rankings.

"This volume is good, but it's too sharp."

"This volume is very elegant, but it is too dull and suspected of Taoism."

These make people feel illusion. In fact, the more you like, the more ruthless you belittle them. Without any verbal virtue, you can't wait to be demoted from twenty-three foreigners.

Every examiner was serious and filled with the joy of harvest: "It would be better to be demoted. Many of these young papers in the past were Jinshi, but this time the number of candidates exceeded 23, which left to the court, and I wish I could all be demoted."

The Taoist looked coldly, remembered the instructions of the Heavenly Court, and looked at the range they finally selected. It was almost halfway between the deep blue and shallow green, and turned a blind eye, without Yu She.

No matter when, the top talents are always scarce. Although the court and the heavenly court are eating meat in the same bowl, there is still fierce competition on this level.

However, most of them were the complete victory of Heaven. Occasionally, one or two pieces of fat were leaked out, and the court thought it was a plan and made a quick and fast slap in the food.

However, these are all postures. We know each other's game and are just distributed according to our strength. The game is tilted. There are always special situations that will bring heavy chips to the court. At this time, the Heavenly Court must give up, and even accused of making trouble in the ranking... As long as you don't go too far.

The Taoist thought this way, looked at the Grand Secretary Tong Shan, and finally his eyes fell on the blue and purple paper.
Chapter completed!
