Chapter 90: Embroidered Spring Knife (Part 2)

"Sit down." Mr. Chen sat upright behind the big desk and said in a deep voice.

Sitting down silently, there were only two teachers and students in the huge school.

However, Chen Lian's voice was still full of energy: "Call you call you during the New Year. If you feel unhappy, you can leave immediately. I don't blame you."

Chen Si smiled bitterly in his heart. He had long been used to Mr. Chen's stinky mouth.

Seeing that he was still moving, Chen Lian nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you have no objection, let me listen carefully and don't miss a word, because..." As he said that, his voice suddenly became quiet and said, "Because, this is the last lesson I have taught you."

Silence was full of problems, but I could not speak out.

Chen Lian said calmly: "Before class, there are some things to be explained. I heard from my elder brother that you already know the whole story of the matter, and I must have guessed the result of the matter today. Yes, I have accepted the position of Jinyiwei. But you don't have to worry about your reputation being tarnished. We do not have the title of master and apprentice. I will introduce you to a new teacher and you can overwrite this page."

His silent face turned red, and finally he couldn't help but burst out with words and said: "This is an insult to the students. Please take back this sentence."

Chen Lian looked at him with some surprise and sighed: "Don't act irritating. Now it seems that it is not a good thing to have something to do with me, but in the long run, it is not a good thing."

Chen Si smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Man Shaoxing knows that I am your student. I just pasted the three words "not apprenticeship" on my forehead. What is the effect except for making people laugh?" Then he said calmly: "I am worthy of heaven and earth when doing things in silence. Since I call you a gentleman, I will always admit this paragraph."

Chen Lian looked at his expression for a long time before nodding, and said softly: "Do you know why I don't want to accept you as my disciple?"

Chen Si shook his head gently, and only heard him say in a deep voice: "Because I'm not sure! You are too hiding in your heart, and are extremely smart, making it difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous. In the future, you may become a capable minister in governing the world, or a traitor in a chaotic country... I Chen Lian doesn't want to be mentioned by later generations and say that he is the master of "Some treacherous minister". So I want to observe and talk about it when I confirm that you are a good person and a loyal minister."

Chen Si suddenly said, "No wonder..."

"No wonder?" Chen Lian asked.

"Nothing." Silence whispered.

"Do you think that for this reason, I didn't teach you how to write time texts?" Chen Lian smiled and said with a smile.

"Students dare not." Chen Si did not deny it.

"You underestimate me Chen Chunfu too much." Chen Lian shook his head and said, "I am not ambiguous about you in my studies." The gentleman said this, and Chen Si had to remain silent.

"Indeed, the format of the imperial examination is eight-legged essay," Chen Lian said in a deep voice: "But the eight-legged essay itself is just a format, it is nothing more than six paragraphs and eight random sentences. First, the first sentence solves the question, two sentences follow the question, then start talking, start, start stocks, medium stocks, back stocks, and bind stocks. According to your intelligence, it only takes one day to learn the format. What is the use of single-level format?

"Just learning the format can make the examiner's eyes lit up among thousands of test papers, and then click on your silent name?" Chen Lian said in a deep voice: "Impossible! If you want to stand out, you have to write an article that excelled and made the examiner's amazing!"

"What kind of article is that?" Chen Si asked softly.

"Reason, words, and energy are all inclusive." Chen Lian said in a deep voice: "This kind of article will make the examiner stop and savor during the dizzy marking process. As long as there is no taboo, how can he not ask you?"

"Sir, how can you achieve the right and right?" Chen Shu asked respectfully. He knew that this was a time for a well-educated Jinshi who had taught the valuable experience he had gained after decades of hard work.

He only listened to the sunny and slowly, saying one by one: "The clarity of the desire principle must trace the origin of the Six Classics, and then investigate the theory of the Confucians of the Song and Yuan Dynasties; the speech of the words must be consistent with the meaning of the title, and taken from the books of the Three Dynasties and the Han Dynasties; the prosperity of the desire spirit must be used to shine the heart with the meaning, and the ancient texts of the Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties." After speaking, he sighed and looked at the silent ones, "Now I understand why I asked you to read the various schools of thought first, and the ancient texts of the past dynasties?"

"Basic." Chen Silently said softly: "You asked me to lay a solid foundation first, and only then can I write a good article when there is something in my stomach."

"Yes, knowledge is the foundation, the eight-legged essay is the body, the original is the connotation of the body, and the body is the manifestation of the foundation. Only when knowledge reaches a certain level can one write articles of the true pharaoh and the beautiful flower group." Mr. Chen nodded, then raised his voice and said indignantly: "There are indeed some problems in the imperial examinations now. The main reason is that the range of choices for questions is too narrow and the choices for answering questions are too narrow. So some people think that without learning "Three Tongs" and "Four Histories", there is no need to know about Tang Zong and Song Zu. As long as they recite a few high-headed sermons and pre-department Cheng Wen, they can take the exam and try their luck. Even if they really get the blessing of the great fortune and teach him to be the first to be the best, it will be a bad luck for the people and the court!"

He said sneered and said, "And these speculators can only deceive the examiners in one province, but they cannot pass the test level! You read the golden list, and in the Hanlin Academy, who is not full of knowledge and real talent? None of them is from opportunistic high school!"

Chen Si nodded secretly. He knew that every test paper would have to be read by two Grand Secretary and three Shangshu. Those people were well-educated and well-written, and they would never miss a plagiarized article, which would make people all over the world laugh at.

"I will teach you the key points of making eight-legged essays now." Mr. Chen finally mentioned the method: "This thing is fixed in format, and every sentence has strict requirements. If you want to write it in a colorful way, you must also clarify the meaning. It is like swinging an axe under the bed and building a temple in a snail shell. It is actually the most difficult of all kinds of writing styles. So some people say that if you do a good job in the time, you can do whatever you want, and you can do poetry, and you can do it. It is a whip, a mark, a slap, and a palm of blood."
