The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 368

[Chapter 368 Another early submission]

The third test is policy theory.

There are two questions in total, all related to what happened in Chu State recently.

The first question talks about how to deal with the disaster in the Central Plains.

The second question is about how to consolidate the border defenses of the four northern states.

The first question did not go beyond the outline. Many scholars had anticipated that this question would be asked in this provincial examination.

However, the second question exceeded many people’s expectations.

After all, consolidating border defenses is a matter for military heroes. What does it have to do with scholars?

Even if they become officials in the court, unless they reach the level of cabinet bachelor, they probably will not have the opportunity to come into contact with this issue.

Moreover, it would not be a big surprise if this question appeared on the examination paper, but for the provincial examination, it is a bit overkill.

Therefore, many candidates are a little worried when they see these two questions.

The first question is okay. It just quotes the words of the saints and tells the emperor how to cultivate his moral character and cultivate his nature

. However, in the second question,

most of the scholars only read the books of the sages and are deaf to what is happening outside the window. Perhaps the four northern states I have heard about it and know that it is the boundary between Da Chu and the grassland, and it is always under attack from the barbarians in the grassland.

I don’t know if it’s more.

How does this make them answer the question?

After Fang Xiu saw it, he smiled.

If there is anyone in the entire capital who truly understands the situation in the four northern states, except for the old emperor, the Minister of War and the three cabinet ministers, it is him!

After all, he has a real captain who came from the four northern states to fight under him. Of course, Liang Hu is now the Zhonglang General.

Some time ago, when he had nothing to do, Fang Xiu’s favorite thing was to warm a pot of wine, move a chair, sit in the open space, and listen to Liang Hu talk about the things he encountered when he was in the four northern states.

Although he couldn’t remember every detail, it was enough for him to understand the situation in the four northern states and the grasslands.

As for the first question, it is nothing more than a geography knowledge question from middle school, and it is not too difficult.

Therefore, Fang Xiu only had two hours to write these two policy papers.

At this time, there are still two hours left before the end of the exam.

Let him wait here in vain, it is better to go home and sleep early.

So, he stood up from his chair and shouted outside: “Hand in your paper!”

This voice was extremely penetrating. In an instant, all the candidates in the Gongyuan heard his voice and showed shocked expressions.

When Hanlin, the invigilator of the examination, heard this, he was also dumbfounded.

After a moment, Na Hanlin realized what he was doing, got up, walked to Fang Xiu’s examination booth, looked at him, and asked, “Are you the one who wants to hand in the paper?”

Fang Xiu asked, “Isn’t it possible?”

Na Hanlin got a positive answer, The expression on his face became a little strange, and he nodded and said, “Okay.”

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward, put away the examination papers on the table, and said, “You can go out, but you can’t make any noise along the way. If you are found to be colluding with

other candidates

, you will be punished for cheating!”

Fang Xiu nodded after hearing this and said calmly, “Okay.”

After that, he stood up and walked out. Go to Gongyuan.

Na Hanlin stood there, watching Fang Xiu’s back gradually disappear from his sight, still in a daze. In so many years, it seemed that this was the first time that I heard that a candidate submitted the paper

in

advance during the imperial examination.

Hanlin shook his head and sighed in his heart for the candidate’s parents. After sealing the examination paper, he no longer thought about it. .

At the gate of Gongyuan.

The rural examination is not over yet, but many people have already gathered.

Most of them are family members of the candidates.

One by one stood at the door, talking quietly.

There was a middle-aged man who stood out among the crowd.

Because, among these many people, he was the only one who wore the shabbiest clothes.

Moreover, he was the only one who did not discuss with others, but stood on tiptoes and looked into the Gongyuan into the distance, as if this could add some comfort to his nervous heart.

Next to him, another middle-aged man saw this scene, patted him on the shoulder, and advised: “There are still two hours to end.

No matter how anxious you are, your son will not come out at this time.

” When the young man heard this, he showed embarrassment on his face, squeezed out a smile, and said, “Thank you.”

Then

he continued to stand on tiptoe and look inside.

When others saw this scene, they stopped blocking him.

Anyway, it’s only two hours. If he wants to do this, then let him.

The man who reminded him before shook his head and continued to discuss with the people next to him: “I also think that this time there will definitely be one section of the policy that is related to the disaster in the Central Plains, but I don’t know what the other section will test.”

“What to test in the other test is to do your best and obey fate. But this one must be grasped.

To be honest with this brother, Quanzi has written ten articles on the disaster situation in the Central Plains before. He only hopes to be able to match the examiner’s ideas.

“

Come on. “

The two were talking enthusiastically, and a voice suddenly came from the side: “Coming

? What’s coming?” “

People

are coming out of Gongyuan!”

They were all discussing something. When they heard this sentence, they all raised their heads and looked at Gongyuan.

Sure enough, you could vaguely see a figure in the distance, gradually approaching, it was obviously the candidate who had finished the questions.

“Isn’t there still two hours left?”

“Could it be that they handed in the paper in advance?”

“Submitted the paper in advance? This is a provincial examination. How could anyone hand in the paper in advance, unless they are crazy!” As soon as

the man finished speaking, there was already someone in front of him. I recognized the figures in the Gongyuan.

“I know him, he seems to be the young master of the Fang Mansion!”

“The young master of the Fang Mansion?”

When everyone heard this, they were startled, and then they all looked astonished.

After a moment, someone sighed: “Oh, it’s him.”

The voice was very calm, which was in sharp contrast to the previous surprise and confusion.

This tone seemed to be

the way it should be.

In other words, this young master of Fang Mansion should have handed in his papers in advance.

It would be abnormal if he didn’t hand in the paper in advance.

In fact, that’s what many people think.

What can’t this guy do?

Compared with the things he had done before, handing in papers early during the provincial examination was nothing.

After all, in the eyes of many people, the fact that Fang Xiu participated in the imperial examination as an official student was a joke in itself.

A guy whose ancestors were all Qiu Ba for three generations, taking part in the imperial examination?

A dandy who only knows how to do his job and takes part in the imperial examination?

A crazy person suffering from brain disease takes part in the imperial examination?

They would rather believe that their son can pass the high school examination than that this well-known prodigal son can pass the exam
