Rise From the Humble

"The imperial examination is supposed to select talents for the country, but it uses eight-legged essays as the selection criteria and uses eight-legged essays to select scholars. What kind of scholars are selected?! Ridiculous, absurd. Ridiculous, ridiculous."

After the embarrassment was over, the greasy fat man picked up the jug and poured himself a drink. He said emotionally, indignant at the eight-gut recruitment.

Zhu Pingan nodded slightly after hearing what the greasy fat man said. He agreed with the fat man's words.

The imperial examination is definitely a historical progress and political correctness, but the stereotyped method of selecting scholars is a reversal of history.

Eight-part essay is a word game. Although it can select some people with quick thinking, most of them are nerds who are divorced from reality. Modern analysis of eight-legged essay selection is very thorough. Eight-part essay restricts people's thinking and restricts people's thinking. I won’t say much about freedom of thought here.

"Ridiculous?! Then you still have to take the exam and you said you want to pass the exam?" Liu Dadao sneered.

"The reality is so fucked, I can only take off my pants." The greasy fat man said, spitting heavily on the ground, then stepped on the chair with one foot, arrogantly tilted his head and nuzzled at Zhu Ping'an. He raised his chin and asked, smelling of wine, "Hey, have you ever taken part in the imperial examination?"

Zhu Pingan nodded.

"Since you have played the game before, you should know the virtues of recruiting scholars with stereotyped writing, right?" The greasy fat man said to Zhu Pingan.

Zhu Ping'an nodded, "I understand a little bit."

"I'm telling you, stereotyped writing to recruit scholars is a piece of shit!" The greasy fat man was very excited when he talked about stereotyped writing to recruit scholars. After scorning stereotyped scholar recruiting, the greasy fat man said to Zhu Pingan again, "This is my first time. When I took part in the provincial examination, the topic at that time was 'When the original land is destroyed, the Que party boy will die'."

At this point, the greasy fat man paused, turned his head to look at Zhu Pingan, and asked, "Do you know what this question is about?"

"This title is a cut-off title. 'Yuan Rang Yi Qi' comes from "The Analects of Confucius Xianwen Chapter 12" "Yuan Rang Yi Qi." Confucius said: "When you are young, you are not a grandson; when you are old, you have no words; when you are old, you are not dead. , he is a thief. 'Tap his shin with the stick.'; The boy of Que Dang will give his life, which comes from "The Analects of Confucius Xianwen Chapter 44". "I am in my position, and I see him walking side by side with you. He is not seeking benefit, but someone who wants quick success." Zhu Ping'an replied in response.

The questions in the eight-legged essay in the imperial examination all use words and sentences from the "Four Books and Five Classics", but the Four Books and Five Classics only have tens of thousands of words. After so many years of imperial examinations, almost all the questions that can be tested have been answered. In order to avoid repeating the questions and affecting fairness, this kind of questions that split up the scriptures and pieced them together came into being. To do this kind of stereotyped writing, you need to quickly find the source of the paradoxical sentence, and then solve the problem to answer the question.

After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ping'an put great effort into the Eight-part Part Essay, a tool for entering officialdom. He was no longer familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the Eight-part Part Essay. This kind of interception is just childish.

"Huh? Yes, you are qualified to listen to what I have to say." The greasy fat man was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the rich man opposite could solve the problem so quickly, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Haha, you are really arrogant!" Liu Dadao couldn't help but let out a laugh after hearing the greasy fat man's words. You are a scholar, but you are the number one scholar in the examination, and you told the number one scholar that you are qualified to listen to what I have to say!

"As for you, you are playing the piano to a cow." The greasy fat man glanced at Liu Dadao and raised his chin.

Liu Dadao replied with a hehe.

"Do you know how I solved the topic?!" The greasy fat man's face lit up.

Zhu Pingan shook his head, I really don’t know this.

"Originally, the Hou Yi Hou was knocked on the head with his staff. The original three souls were vague and the seven souls were vast. With a breeze, he turned into a Que Party boy." After the greasy fat man poured himself a drink, he stood up from his seat and spoke in a sultry voice. read aloud.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Hearing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed, "How can such a wonderful article fail?!"

"It would be nice if the examiner's eyes looked like yours." The greasy fat man slumped down on his chair.

"It shouldn't be. Such a wonderful article could fail. Who was the examiner at that time?" Zhu Ping'an asked puzzledly.

"The name of the examiner at that time was Lin Moyu." The greasy fat man mentioned the name of the examiner and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Lin Moyu?! No way?!" Zhu Ping'an read the name silently, and he quickly got an impression. However, in his impression, Lin Moyu's reputation was not bad. He was very encouraging to the underachievers, and he was not a random person. ah.

"Why not!" The greasy fat man was very excited thinking about the past. He reached out and tore off another leg from the table and took a bite of it, as if he was chewing on Lin Moyu's flesh.

"Does Examiner Lin have any comments?" Zhu Pingan asked.

"This old scholar thinks my article is too short, so he criticized me for being too short and thick-skinned, ranking behind Sun Shan." The greasy fat man mentioned Lin Moyu's comment to him, with a fat face as dark as the bottom of a pot. .

Zhu Pingan frowned slightly after hearing Examiner Lin's comments about the fat man.

The article is a bit short, but the essence is condensed. Also, what the hell is "thick-skinned" in Examiner Lin's comment. But if you read the article, how can you tell that you are thick-skinned? You can't just call someone thick-skinned just because they are fat, right? Examiner Lin's comment was a bit childish. It was inconsistent with the public's view of Examiner Lin. Zhu Pingan couldn't figure out why for a while.

Things shouldn't be that simple, right?

So, Zhu Ping'an looked up at the fat man and asked, "Brother Hu, why did Examiner Lin comment that he was 'thick-skinned'? Is there any misunderstanding in it?"

"There is no misunderstanding. He is blind, jealous and unable to appreciate my masterpieces and paintings."

The greasy fat man gritted his teeth and said.

"I can't appreciate your masterpieces and so on. Brother Hu, what did you just say, paintings?!"

Zhu Pingan felt uncomfortable listening to this. You claim that there is nothing wrong with your masterpiece, but what the hell is a painting? !

"Oh, the test questions were so easy and casual. I picked up the pen and finished it in one go. There was a lot of time left with nothing to do, so I drew a picture after the test paper," the greasy fat man said disapprovingly.

What? ! Did you draw a picture after taking the exam? !

Zhu Ping'an was stunned when he heard the words, his mouth twitched, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. Apart from "no zu no die why you try", he really didn't know what to say.

This is an imperial examination, dear, it’s not playing house. Can you be more serious? If you draw a picture on the back of the test paper, isn’t this committing suicide?

This is equivalent to marking on the exam paper! The picture on the test paper is your test paper. Theoretically speaking, you are cheating. If you do this, even if the King of Heaven comes, he will not dare to admit you. Fraud in imperial examinations shakes the foundation of rule. No matter which feudal dynasty you are in, it is a serious crime among serious crimes. If the examiner dares to admit you, then not only will his official career be in danger, but his head will also be in danger.
