On the ninth day of the 22nd year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, the spring examination officially began with the bright bells and drums. Nearly 18,000 students gathered in the Gongyuan House and wrote quickly for their own future and for the future of this country.

Fang Zi'an is one of these 8,000 people. This time Fang Zi'an's name is in the 29th house of Yuzi's name. The number of the name is taken from the order of the thousand-character text. The word jade comes from the sentence "Jin is born in Lishui, and jade comes from Kungang." Because there are many candidates, the Gongyuan added a construction and renovated many temporary name rooms. The jade number room where Fang Zi'an is located is a temporary name room that was temporarily renovated after the New Year. However, there is almost no difference in conditions, it is the same low and cramped, and the same humid and dark.

The content of the Spring Examination was different. After the reform of the Prime Minister Wang Anshi of the Emperor Shenzong, the principle of the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty had undergone some significant changes. Originally, Wang Anshi's transformation of the imperial examination was to eliminate the content of the examinations such as the rote memorized poetry, postscripts, and moyi in one fell swoop. He focused on the meaning of classics, theory, and strategy theory to select scholars. The purpose was actually very obvious, which was to abandon the flashy poetry and prose ability and replace them with political and pragmatic articles that better reflect the ability of the students to think and do things to select talents. Unfortunately, Wang Anshi was attacked by all over the top and bottom after the failure of the reform, and was scolded to the point of being bloody, resulting in this change being abandoned only after insisting on the mathematics subject.

Until the Jin people stepped on the head of Bianliang, and the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, Hui and Qin, the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, became prisoners of the Jin people, and half of the country was lost, many people suddenly realized how necessary Wang Anshi's reform was. Wang Xianggong's series of reforms were carried out around the guiding ideology of "rich the country and strengthen the army". There were indeed many problems at that time, but it was indeed a great benefit to the country. If they could be firmer at the beginning and endured the pain at that time, perhaps the disaster would not have happened, and that shame would not have become the huge hidden pain and shame in the hearts of all the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and time will not look back. However, after the court moved south, knowledgeable people still hope to make some changes. In the imperial examination, the court now adopts some methods to change the methods of selecting scholars. That is, in the interpretation examination, the examination contents of poetry, essays, calligraphy, and calligraphy. However, once the interpretation examination is passed, the contents of poetry, essays, calligraphy, and calligraphy, and calligraphy, are cancelled and replaced by three major tests. The first test is the classics. The classics are divided into major scriptures and essays. The major scriptures are the five classics of "Yiguan Yi", "Book of Songs", "Book of Books", "Zhou Li", and "Book of Rites", and the classics are the Analects of Confucius and Mencius. The second test is the theory, and generally the matter is based on historical events. The third test strategy. As the name suggests, it is necessary to discuss some specific events or current events and explain solutions. The word "Steer itself means seeking countermeasures.

It has to be said that this is still very useful in selecting real talents. Of course, everything will be adapted. In recent years, the imperial examination questions in the court have not been painful and do not touch the pain at all. It is actually some people who refuse to give up their inherent ideas and confrontate themselves in disguise.

Fang Zi'an felt that the first and second exams were quite smooth. After all, no matter whether it is the great classics or the mixed classics, the questions in history are not difficult. Fang Zi'an has not been wasted over the past three years, and the articles of others in his belly are not decorations.

At that time, Fang Zi'an can naturally learn from it and will not have any psychological burden, because this is a critical moment for whether he can enter the officialdom smoothly. Moreover, those questions are old-fashioned and uninformed, and they are the style of only talking about the romance and ignoring the world.

On the third day, after the topic of strategy came out, it was a topic that surprised Fang Zi'an. The title said: Everything in the world has prosperity and decline, the tides rise and fall, the moon is full and the moon is in decline and cycle. There is prosperity, and everything is like this, and the country is the same. What is the strategy of revival? What is the way to revival? How is the real revival? Try to discuss it.

This is a strategy article on the way to revive the truth. This topic is very big and sensitive. Especially in the current situation, it is obviously unusual to be able to get such questions. Fang Zian thought of what Shi Ningyue told him two days ago that one of the examiners of this spring exam was Shi Hao. Being able to become one of the examiners not only shows Shi Hao's talent and virtue, but also shows that the competition between the two sides is actually very fierce. In the matter of the examination, if the examiners are all from the Qin Party, the standard for selecting scholars must be in line with the Qin Party's wishes, and those candidates are likely to become disciples of Qin Hui in the future. The examiners not only have the right to set questions and invigilance, but also have the right to review papers and pick up scholars. In this case, the Qin Party must not be allowed to control it. Shi Hao's joining must be the result of this struggle.

Although this question is very general, Fang Zi'an could almost conclude that this was a question given by Shi Hao. Qin Hui and his party would never give such controversial policy topics. When this question was put on the paper, there was a smell of swords and shadows between the lines. Because the word Zhongxing was actually a word that officials and people often heard and thought about in their mouths and minds in the Song Dynasty.

Fang Zian didn't start writing all day because he was hesitant about how he should get into it. This kind of topic actually has many angles. If you play the security card, you can combine the current situation and talk about how the emperor is wise and powerful, how to turn a mess into a prosperous situation today. How strong the national strength is, how powerful the imperial team is, etc. There will definitely be no trouble for such things, and it is not considered off topic under this question setting. It cannot be considered a departure from reality. After all, the Song Dynasty is indeed a prosperous appearance now.

Another angle is very exciting, that is, to talk about rise and fall from the entire Song Dynasty pattern, and tore apart the warm appearance to see the essence. It would be a bloody way of writing with a knife to cut open the flesh. It is actually the essence of this question and the point of leading the war. However, the consequences of writing like this are unpredictable, and it might ruin the imperial examination.

Fang Zi'an thought about it until the evening, but did not write a single word. Tomorrow, the hour of Si will be the end of the exam, and Fang Zi'an must make a choice.

After dark, the spring was chilly and the cold was biting. Some of the entourage students from the left and right side and even in the opposite house with their eyes had completed all the test questions. Some were humming small songs, some were eating and drinking, and some had already packed their luggage and lying on the bed to sleep waiting for the end of tomorrow. But Fang Zi'an couldn't sleep. He had just spread out the answer sheet, grinding ink, and thinking with frown.

Finally, he sat down and started to write. The soft tip of the pen was whispering on the paper, the ink was fragrant and the smell of sharp blades. He decided that he could not play the safety card against his conscience, he could not do that,

Then that will be a stain on your life. Some things must not only be done, but also have to show your position and not cover up the ambiguous thing.

"I have only been suffering from the country for more than forty years. The innocent boy is crying and has no warning, so he cannot be saved; the country is ashamed of being a tomb, so he cannot be returned; the yard of the tomb cannot be returned; the terrain cannot be returned. What is known to these three-foot boys, but they have been afraid of their strength."

"...Han Xin once said, "If you can go against the way, your strength will be weak." Moreover, the captains are mediocre and cowardly, and their government orders are slackened, and they are slackened by the Rong Di and the horses, and they are engaged in the habit of being frivolous in the Zhongzhou, and the king and his ministers are becoming increasingly lazy. Since ancient times, the barbarians have not changed forty or fifty years, and the heavens and the people are not far away. If they are not planned earlier at this time, even if there are other changes, how can they take advantage of it? If the enemy punishes the invasion and establishes the order of the commander; otherwise, the heroes will rise up and return to other surnames, and the troubles between the north and the south will begin. Moreover, after a long time of transcending to the south, the fathers of the Central Plains have been dying and retiring, and they grew up in Rong, but I don't know that I have me! Emperor Wen of Song wanted to take the old land of Henan, but Wei Taiwu thought, "I have not been dry."

I knew that Henan was my territory, so how could I be the old place of the Southern Dynasty?” So Emperor Wen lost it again. After the towns in Hebei ended in the Tang Dynasty, he regarded serving the thief as loyal and righteous, and was always favored by his habits, and was not aware of his rebellion. After this, he could not recover, so the people of the Central Plains knew who I was? Even if they had doubled their strength, they might not have made half of their achievements. According to the common saying, fathers and grandchildren were born in others, but their descendants could not continue to redeem them. After decades, the current affairs changed, and they all reported themselves to officials. I thought that the old property was born in the past. How could I get the quality and take it again! Then today's affairs can be obtained more slowly!"

"... Your Majesty is worried and diligent in the seat. He is sighing that he has the ambition to calm the world. He is no longer confused by the discussions. However, he is still worried about the different people's hearts. The wise are worried about personal worries, while the treacherous are laughing. Why? He does not think about the way that goes. Sincerely, the government will be transformed into action. The government will be transformed into action, and the people will be transformed into the same heart. The heaven is not far away, and people will not react! Now, the Qing Dynasty's central secretary is responsible for establishing a major plan, and the six ministers will be given the general outline; appointing wise officials to be given to the elderly and be kind to the young to be given to the customs; acquiring Jinshi to list the subjects of selecting talents, and accusing Renzi to respect the actual recommendation; acquiring censors to rectify the court's principles, and acquiring the supervisory officials to clear counties; acquiring the rules and regulations to clarify the source, and acclaiming the etiquette to establish a system to align their practices; appointing the outlines to scatter the expenses. Instruct the first to denounce false articles; strict political articles to verify the name and reality, and punish the punishment;

The officials and traitors should make clear rewards and punishments; at that time, the soldiers of the foreign counties should be used to fill the number of bans, and the weakness of the generals should be used to assist the reserves of the military and brigades; select the commander to nourish the household registration, and the wealth will be used to enrich the household registration; select generals to establish military and political affairs, and the military and political affairs should be used to strengthen the military and military and political affairs, and the soldiers should be promoted by themselves; set up the generals to generalize the border, and entrust them to promote the benefits of the border, and then the benefits of the border will be promoted by themselves; assign civil and military military to divide the border counties, and after a long time, the guards of the border counties will be strengthened; the right military affairs should promote the country's momentum to dare to speak out to be the spirit of the emperor; be good at spies to gain the feelings of captive people, and move the heart to move the heart of the Central Plains. Within a few months, the disciplines should be determined, and the internal and external factors should be used to make the difference, and the people should be in harmony. If you don't go, you will return to the people. What? You will listen to the same ears and your heart will be convinced. If you don't move, the enemy will fight by itself. What? The shapes and trends will be the same. The achievements of the revival can be raised and you must."
