Every time the imperial examination is in danger, it is inevitable that countless people will be attracted.

Today's science is no exception.

Especially the last time, Xishan Academy won fifteen juren in one breath, which shocked the capital.

Even the foreign juren who came to take the exam also heard about this.

This is inevitably a bit unconvincing.

The tribute students in Northern Zhili have always been limited in the imperial examinations, and Xishan Academy can still make a big splash.

Although the pioneers of Xishan Academy directly won six Jinshis, everyone really didn't believe this.

Liu Jie and fourteen classmates have arrived at the Gongyuan. In addition to the Gongyuan, countless candidates have been waiting anxiously here.

Everyone is in groups of three or five, mostly fellow villagers, and they are talking about each other.

After a cannon sounded, the gate of the Gongyuan opened wide, and Liu Jie and his classmates entered one after another.

In Minglun Hall.

Xie Qian sat down in it.

Because the last time, there was a suspicious leak case. Although it was finally found out, it was just a false accusation, and it was all false.

But……

In order to prevent the last accident, Xie Qian has not released the questions until now. Even the examiner who accompanied the exam did not disclose his words.

Seeing that it was getting late and all the candidates had already taken their seats, a clerk came to report it. Xie Qian said lightly: "Let's ask the question, the title is 'You can't do it'."

After a while, the title was raised and put it out.

Liu Jie was still worried when he entered the examination room.

In the past, I was a scholar who failed the exams and my confidence had long been wiped out.

After that, because he was admitted to Xishan Academy, he became the first in the Beizhili provincial examination in high school, and his life has changed since then.

But……

Liu Jie couldn't help but wonder, is there such luck this time?

He was already numb when he was busy studying and doing questions in Xishan Academy every day, and his mind was full of people. Now, he was finally going to compete.

But once this question is released...

Liu Jie's face changed.

"You can't do it for the truth..."

This question is so familiar.

This sentence comes from the doctrine of the mean. On the surface, it means "not to be Tao", but in fact, the beginning of this sentence should be "Tao is not far away from people."

In fact, this sentence also illustrates the principle that the truth is simple. Confucius believed that the truth is right around people and is not complicated.

It’s just Cheng Zhu’s explanation, but it’s different.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that Liu Jie discovered that he had done this question.

Not only did it, but I did it three articles in a row, and I felt dissatisfied with each article, so my husband explained it, and after the explanation, he continued to do it again.

This is how people are. If there is an article that someone explains to you, you may have forgotten a clean one year or two after a year or two, but the questions you have done are so familiar with.

Liu Jie has done many questions, and even with his eyes closed, he can write them all. In addition, this familiar question...

Liu Jie closed his eyes suddenly and tried hard to recall the memories.

He even remembered that in the end, several mistakes occurred in the question he had written and were specifically criticized.

And now...

Suddenly, his eyes opened, and a light shone out in these eyes.

He smiled slightly, and did not ponder, but started writing directly.

The experience of constantly practicing questions makes him just think about solving the questions, just like filling in the blanks, filling these eight-legged articles without even needing to think too much about it and think about it. This is almost like a conditioned reflex.

Half an hour later, an eight-part essay has been completed.

Others were still thinking hard, some were reluctant to start writing, but they were still trying hard to chew every word slowly, while others seemed surprisingly cautious. After all, this was a major test involving their own life. Therefore, although they were confident, they still held the pen and thought.

Some people are a little confused. No matter what, they can't think of a way to solve the problem, and their foreheads are already covered in cold sweat.

In one day, when you think of the method of solving the topic, you need to write an article. This article will never allow any point to go beyond the provisions of the eight-legged essay. Even if every sentence you say is required to make a speech on behalf of the saint, that is, it is not what you say, but to understand the meaning of this sentence on behalf of the saint. It must be upright, contain the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and more importantly, it must conform to the principles of Cheng and Zhu.

This is almost like dancing on the tip of a knife.

So many literati and poets in ancient times, and many talented men, were eventually made difficult by these eight-part essays, and they spent their entire lives and failed the exam.

Just when everyone is still in a dilemma.

Liu Jie has already started his first proofreading.

He took out another draft and began to revise his article with careful consideration.

Which place the words are not refined enough, change it.

Which place does not achieve what you want, change it.

Which one may cause the examiner to have some misunderstanding and change it.

After he finished revising the first draft, another half an hour passed.

There is plenty of time.

But many candidates were still sweating profusely and staring at the blank test papers.

But Liu Jie was not in a hurry, so he began to revise the manuscript for the third time.

Then it was the fourth and fifth.

After waiting for the manuscript to be completely flawed in his opinion, he launched a formal test paper and copied the final manuscript.

In this way, a beautiful article with the characteristics of Xishan and like an industrial assembly line is completely completed.

The sky was a little dim, and the candidates who had not started writing at noon were already in a difficult situation and were not allowed to start answering the papers randomly.

There are also some candidates who do questions in the early morning and think about them one by one. In the evening, they barely ended.

But Liu Jie is ready.

With the sound of a clapper, today's exam ended and the clerks began to collect papers.

Liu Jie calmly left the examination room. Outside the examination room, he had been waiting for him for a long time.

The junior brothers bowed to Liu Jie.

Liu Jie immediately replied with courtesy.

Everyone smiled at each other.

More than a year of hard work seems to be in vain.

…………………………

Fang Jifan was thinking about the imperial examination in his heart, so he asked Deng Jian to go outside the tribute court to take a look, while he was waiting for news at home, but before Deng Jian came, he waited for Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao looked worried and saw Fang Jifan and said anxiously: "Oh no, oh no."

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with sympathy. Zhu Houzhao had already lost a lot of weight and had no funny appearance on her face.

Fang Jifan said: "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Not good." Zhu Houzhao shook her head: "The father is afraid he has a terminal illness."

Fang Jifan frowned: "Why are you sure you must be a terminal illness?"

Zhu Houzhao almost cried: "What the imperial doctors said was that they had already given a lot of medicine. In the end, the imperial doctors confirmed that this was intestinal paralysis, which was bad."

It's indeed appendicitis.

In this era, appendicitis is indeed an incurable disease.

But in later generations, it was a very rare operation. It was almost the same as circumcision.

Speaking of circumcision, Fang Jifan is still very experienced.

It's just... it's so terrible to cut the appendix.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "How is the condition now?"

Zhu Houzhao was in tears and she looked like she was crying: "Now she has barely recovered a little, and she can eat. It doesn't hurt as much as before, but..."

Fang Jifan sighed: "I wish Your Majesty a hundred years old."

Zhu Houzhao grabbed Fang Jifan's collar and said, "I am here to ask you to find a solution."

Fang Jifan was dumbfounded: "This...I...What can I do?"

Zhu Houzhao cried and robbed the earth. The Ming Dynasty was rich in all over the world and the subjects were 100 trillion. Why was there no way?
