The mad scholar Liu Kai, the ancestor of Chen Ke's wife, in order to become famous, filled a cart full of more than a thousand articles he had written in the past. When he was taking the exam, he pushed the cart into the examination room by himself.
This made everyone very surprised. But in any case, Liu Kaida became famous after that, and he can be said to be well versed in marketing.
Who knew that the other wife's natal family was also a master at it. In order to change his son's previous image of a bohemian talent and transform him into a scholar like Chen Ke, Su Xun did not allow Su Shi to waste his essence on the flower streets and willow alleys.
He took a leave of absence due to poor health. He was urged and urged day and night at home, forcing him to write twenty-five articles in a row, twenty-five articles, and a total of fifty policy papers were published to the public.
Chen Ke has read all fifty policy papers. The contents are quite comprehensive, covering everything from rectifying officials, financial plans, appeasing the people, household registration management, tax policy, social security, to strengthening the military... He is simply born with knowledge, omniscience and omnipotence.
It takes five hundred years, oh no, only one genius comes out in eight hundred years.
The last one was Zhuge Liang...
Generally speaking, Su Shi's fifty policy essays repeatedly talk about the same thing - although the world is safe, there are hidden dangers everywhere, and if something goes wrong, it will be in great danger!
Therefore, this world will definitely not work if it is not reformed. I hope that the officials can "strengthen their strength", then "the wise will follow their plans, and the brave will be willing to die". As long as everyone is united, the world's major events will be reversed.
What you do cannot be done'.
Of course, in addition to shouting slogans, Su Shi also has specific propositions. That is to regain the Confucian spirit of benevolence in governing the country by virtue. Although he admits that there are various hidden dangers at present and there are "disadvantages of legislation", he also emphasizes that it is "the fault of letting others".
As the saying goes, "The fault lies in appointing people, not the crime of legal system." He advocated that "the law is the end" and insisted that "rituals are the foundation", that is, the country should be governed by rituals and music, and the country should be governed by virtue.
At the same time, he firmly opposed those "corrupt scholars" who wanted to change the laws and criticized them for "confused the Lord of the World"!
He used an analogy to say that the country is like an early patient. At present, his "speech, diet, daily life, and movements are no different from ordinary people," and no symptoms can be seen. In this case, quack doctors are ignorant, but if Bian
When Lord Quecang sees it, he will be 'shocked'.
Therefore, as long as the country keeps wise men in office, employs people with no doubts, and 'uses their talents and ensures their success', it can take precautions and regulate the health of the country at the early stage of the disease. If the "reform" is used rashly, it will only lead to
"The world is getting worse and worse and cannot be cured", or even "chaos is rising".
So the point he wants to make is: as long as the people are employed properly, there is no need to change the method!
So what kind of person should be used? Of course an expert like me... Of course this is a subtext.
Although thousands of years later, everyone will understand that the "rule by man" advocated by Su Shi cannot solve the country's chronic diseases. But in this era, his ideas are still very popular.
Because although the call for change has become mainstream, all parties have different views on how to change. The radicals are calling for reform, but the conservatives do not want to destroy the ancestral laws. They hope that through the awareness and ability of the monarchs and ministers, within the original framework,
Solve the crisis facing the country.
Therefore, Su Shi's articles are extremely popular with those mature ministers.
In addition, his literary talent was so high that he wrote several debates with great vigor and heartiness. It is said that Ouyang Xiu was suffering from a fever at the time. When he read these policy essays by Su Shi, he broke out in a sweat, and his fever subsided after reading them.
Ouyang Xiu also has this kind of knowledge...
Fu Bi, Han Qi, Bao Zheng and other famous officials all praised Su Shi after reading his article, thinking that he was an unborn genius. San Su's name was already known to the world, but now people are spreading the propaganda overwhelmingly.
, the sensational effect caused is naturally far greater than that of Liu Kai back then.
Finally, on the eve of the election, Su Shi's famous name "Thunder and Wind Flying, Shocking the World", even the vegetable seller knew this number.
But let Chen Ke put aside his emotional comments. Su Shi's article is indeed powerful and worthy of the name of a future literary giant, but in terms of content, it is just a retrieval of ancient wisdom. It can be said to be a lot of empty talk. This is normal. After all, Su Shi has not been exposed to it so far.
There is no general plan for state affairs, and even the sufferings of the people and the affairs of the prefectures and counties are not understood. Metaphysical guidance does no harm to the country, but once it is explained concretely, it can only be vague and meaningless.
What Brother-in-law Su often talks about is, "With a thousand words on my pen and thousands of volumes in my mind, I can write to Jun Yao and Shun. Why is this so difficult?" Scholar-officials who are just starting out and have not encountered any setbacks all have this behavior...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But no matter what, with Su Xun's painstaking efforts to build momentum, Su Shi should be a sure shot in the next major subject.
Seeing that the exam was coming, of course Chen Ke wanted to come over and take care of him.
The Su family brothers naturally heard about his experience, but they could not help him much. They could only comfort him with gentle words.
"Don't talk about me anymore." Chen Ke smiled and said to Su Shi: "There will be an exam the day after tomorrow. Why don't you feel nervous at all?"
"Oh." Su Xun was not at home, so Su Shi dared to smile bitterly and said: "What the hell, I feel relaxed when I think that after the exam, I can finally go out."
"Haha, my brother was miserably disciplined by his father." Su Che pursed his lips and said with a smile: "For those many policies, my father first stated the main idea and then forced him to make them. My brother is not happy about this."
"I really want to change with Ziyou." Su Shi said depressedly: "With me supporting him in front, he will be much more relaxed."
"Speaking of which," Chen Ke looked at Su Che and said, "I'm not worried about Zizhan, but you are Zizhan. Do you have any confidence?"
"My articles are not as good as those of my brother," Su Che said softly, "If I think about it, I have to try hard."
"How to fight?" Chen Ke asked.
"Since it's a matter of direct remonstrance," Su Che lowered his voice and said, "I thought it might as well just give him a strong remonstrance."
"Could it be that you want to take action against the officials?" Chen Ke asked with a thought in his heart.
"How did you know..." Su Zhe was surprised at first, but then said clearly: "I can't hide anything from you."
"Hehe," Chen Ke said with a smile, "I don't know about you, Su Ziyou?"
Xiao Su is a peculiar person. To be honest, beside his genius brother, the quiet Su Che is always easy to be ignored. But when it comes to political talents, Xiao Su is far better than brother Nai. He is quiet and quiet, not
He is neither impetuous nor impetuous, possesses very high political literacy, is extremely stoic, and can be ignored by others.
But when it was time to exert force, Su Che would not hesitate to show his ambitious side. But Su Che was not impulsive because he knew very well that even if he could not get what he wanted, the Song Dynasty had not killed scholars for hundreds of years.
If you follow the rules, your life will definitely not be in danger. This gamble should be a near miss.
"What, do you think it's feasible?" Su Zhe held Chen Ke tightly and said in a deep voice, "I really want to help you, but I just don't want to do more harm than good."
"Well..." Chen Ke thought for a moment, nodded heavily and said, "It doesn't matter!"
"That's good, that's good." Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "By the way, Si Lang, Duan Ping, Zhang Zihou, Wang Zichun, Lu Jifu and others will also participate."
"I know," Chen Ke nodded and said with a smile, "I also heard that Jifu has been very active recently."
"It is said that the most promising people in this subject are Jifu and my brother."
"This guy Lu Jifu is impure." Su Shi said with some disdain: "After he entered the capital, he went to the Qingling County Prince's Mansion and stopped interacting with us, fearing that he would try to climb a higher branch."
"There is nothing wrong with good birds choosing trees to roost in." Chen Ke smiled nonchalantly and said, "Ji Fu has the right to choose."
Because the two of them were about to take the exam, Chen Ke talked for a while and then said goodbye and went back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three days later, the Zhike examination began. Zhike is the highest-level examination in the dynasty. No matter the identity, anyone can take it to reflect the emperor's meritocracy. However, if you want to stand in the Chongzheng
Your Majesty, if you accept the emperor's personal test, it will definitely be difficult to reach the sky.
The premise is that you must be recommended by more than two important officials of the imperial court before you are eligible to sign up. After that, you have to go through three levels - first, to the two systems, that is, to the Hanlin bachelor who is in charge of the internal system and the external system.
There are fifty poems in total, and two systems will be used to select those who are excellent in lyrics and theory to participate in the cabinet examination... This is also the reason why Su Xun forced Su Shi to improvise. Who let this kid usually focus on composing lyrics and music for courtesans?
There is no survival at all.
After passing the two systems test, the Sixth Essay Examination in the Secret Pavilion will follow; and finally, you can participate in the Emperor's Royal Examination.
Now everyone understands why during the two Song dynasties and three hundred years, there were only more than 20 people who passed the entrance examination for the high school system, right? It was really too difficult.
But only in this way can we see its rarity. It is the dream of every official to be able to pass the examination of the system subject... No matter how good the articles of non-Jinshi scholars are, they will never pass the test of the two systems. Therefore, the system subject is known as 'the only one'
It's just a move, but in fact it has long become a taboo for Jinshi.
By the deadline, the two systems had received a total of more than 300 policy opinions, that is, 1,500 copies. The current Hanlin scholar is Liu Chang, and the person who knows the imperial edict is Wang Anshi. They worked overtime for five days.
time, and select fifty candidates with excellent literary skills to enter the next stage of the secret chamber test.
When the announcement was made, Chen Ke discovered that Song Duanping, Wang Shao, Zeng Bu, Jia Quan and others were all unknown on the list... This shows how cruel it is.
Of course, there is no name for him, but it is not that his articles cannot be recognized by the eyes of the two systems, but that he was appointed to the Zhimi Pavilion. As the deputy to Wang Gui, Ouyang Xiu and others, he took the exam with the Zhimi Pavilion...
