Feng Ziying was also a little surprised when she saw this question.
The surprise was not that I won half of my bets on, well, border trouble military affairs, but that this question was too difficult to pose. Not only did it involve the dialectical relationship between the imperial court's financial expenditure and border trouble military affairs, but more importantly, it directly pointed out how to solve this problem.
deadlock.
No wonder it is placed in the last question as the main body. This is actually three questions in disguise, or three parts.
The first question is about the financial situation of the Zhou court; the second question is about the military situation in the surrounding areas; the third question is about what are the ways to break the deadlock between military expenditure and finance.
In Feng Ziying's view, the requirements of this question far exceed those of ordinary students who have never been exposed to government and military affairs. Even now, various academies and government schools pay more and more attention to current policy theory, and relevant professors often receive instructions from various schools.
It is similar to the imperial court newspaper to guide the study, but the difficulty of this question is still too high.
Especially when it comes to discussing countermeasures, this is even more of a challenge for ordinary scholars.
Perhaps this question should be used more appropriately to test officials from the Sixth Department of the Central Military Commission.
Feng Ziying was a little surprised that Jin Ke, the cabinet ministers and the six ministers, could actually ask such a question, which somewhat subverted his perception. He at least dared to ask this question, and his courage was commendable.
However, this is actually beneficial to Feng Ziying.
As Qiao Yingjia said, compared to the more than 4,000 elite Zhou scholar elites, Feng Ziying's foundation in the meaning of the classics and her level of diction and sentence making are probably only at a mid-level level. So how can she stand out among the 8 out of 100 people?
?
Then there must be enough room for development on policy issues. It can be said that the higher the difficulty, the better.
If everyone can answer the question, or even make a difference, but the gap cannot be widened, and the content is almost the same, then the comparison can only be made on the basis of word choice and sentence making, then Feng Ziying will basically be eliminated.
So the time and place are right, and now that the time is right, this question is difficult enough.
Naturally, Feng Ziying’s familiarity with this question is not a problem. Feng Ziying is confident that if she can answer this question sharply and eye-catchingly, and it is thought-provoking enough, then there will be no problem with people and people. The only thing left is the location, which is to see.
The views of the main examiner and fellow examiners.
Feng Ziying had no way to influence this and could only leave it to fate.
But after she had done what she should do, Feng Ziying had no regrets.
When Feng Ziying appeared, she had already seen Fan Jingwen, Zheng Chongjian, Wu Di and Lian Guoshi discussing something excitedly.
As soon as they saw Feng Ziying coming out, several people eagerly greeted her.
Looking at the expressions of several people, Feng Ziying knew that these people might have answered well. To be precise, compared to other students around them, they should have answered well.
"Uncle Fang hasn't come out yet?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile before they could speak.
"Uncle Fang hasn't come out yet." Wu Di nodded.
It was Lian Guoshi who understood Feng Ziying's thoughts best. He quickly lowered his voice and said: "It's not appropriate to mention this matter again. You and I just know it in our hearts."
Feng Ziying smiled and said, "You don't have to be too deliberate, but this kind of thing is not a glamorous thing. If it is known to outsiders, it will obviously show that our Qingtan Academy lacks knowledge. As for other students, if there is any
Those who do well in the exam but fail the exam and are not broad-minded enough will probably have a grudge against you and me again."
Feng Ziying's words also reminded several others that if these students all passed the exam and the other students who had not participated in that night's question exchange did not pass the exam and learned about this, I am afraid they would really feel dissatisfied.
On the contrary, it is not beautiful.
Zheng Chongjian and Fan Jingwen were the first to calm down and nodded in agreement. However, Wu Di whispered: "Ziying, you have to give some advice to Ke Yao."
Feng Ziying discussed this topic with He Fengsheng again when they were walking the night before. Wu Di also met him, so he also reminded Feng Ziying.
"Well, Ke Yao is a cautious person, so he should understand it, but it's better to say it, that is, Uncle Fang must tell him to shut up and not cause trouble." Feng Ziying said with a smile.
Among these people, the one with the most unstable mouth is Fang Youdu. If it were people like Song Shixiang and Xu Qixun, they wouldn't have this worry.
"Don't worry, Ziying, Uncle Fang likes to show off in small things, but he won't be rash and impulsive when it comes to big things." Wu Di knew his fellow countryman very well.
Other students began to come out one after another, and several of them never talked about it again.
When Fang Youdu came out, Wu Yan pulled him aside and warned him again and again, which made Fang Youdu feel a little angry. Was he the kind of person who didn't understand the importance of things in the eyes of his classmates?
When the group returned to Hongbin Inn, the entire academy was filled with joy, not for celebration, but for complete relaxation.
For the students, the three-year competition is really too stressful, especially in the last three or four months, everyone has studied hard, and now they are finally liberated.
The owner of Hongbin Inn was also very knowledgeable and had prepared a sumptuous dinner early. Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun also came to the academy to give everyone a comfort.
As the dean and dean, I naturally have to ask my students one by one, encourage them if they do well, and comfort and encourage those who do not perform well.
"Ziying, how do you feel?" Guan Yingzhen was the most concerned about Feng Ziying, so he called him aside alone to ask.
"Shan Chang, it's hard to say. My foundation of classics and meanings and word choice are incomparable to Meng Zhangkeyao's. The gap is a bit bigger. Of course, my current policy theory may have some advantages. It just depends.
How do you treat your fellow examiners and the chief examiner?" Feng Ziying told the truth.
"Well, putting aside everything else, how do you think it plays out in terms of current policy? Did you know that there are rumors in the capital that this topic is a topic proposed by the emperor himself." Guan Yingzhen still looked calm and calm.
Calm look.
"Ah? The emperor himself came up with the question?" Feng Ziying was shocked, "This seems to be against the ancestral system, right?"
The topic of Zhou Dynasty regulation has always been the right of the court ministers and the six ministers.
"That's not true. When the Zhou Dynasty was founded, there was a subject that Taizu himself proposed. But that was at the beginning of the founding of the country. This system has been formed since then. However, in this subject, it is said that the emperor discussed the issues between the cabinet and the six ministries.
I was extremely dissatisfied, so I proposed the last topic myself."
This news had spread throughout the capital, and Guan Yingzhen only learned about it from Lu Yu's former colleagues on the way here. This also made the discord between the emperor and the six cabinet ministries more prominent.
"I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome." Feng Ziying's face was a little gloomy, "The emperor's proposition, but the examiner and fellow examiners may not follow the emperor's intention when taking the papers."
Guan Yingzhen was not very worried, "Ziying doesn't have to worry. Even though the examiners and fellow examiners are dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior, it is the general trend of the times to focus more on policy. They also agree with it and have little influence."
Of course, it will have little impact on other students, and it may even be a good thing, but for herself, having too sharp and pointed views may turn into a disaster, Feng Ziying thought secretly in her heart.
It seemed that Jinke was afraid that he would really fall into trouble. Thinking of this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Man is not as good as God. After all the calculations, I did not expect that the emperor would pose the question himself. I thought that the six cabinet departments suddenly dared to break the rules and let go. But the result was like this. I am afraid that a group of fellow examiners headed by Fang Congzhe
If you see your own paper in the exam, if you don't do well, you will have to sacrifice yourself as the winner.
**********
The exam is over and enters the stage of lock-in and review.
The two directors of the Ministry of Etiquette have been repeatedly warned by Gu Bingqian, and one of them is considered a close confidant of his, so Gu Bingqian is relatively reassured. However, he cannot control the other eight people with the same Kaoda scholar.
The two people from Chunfang could say it themselves, but Gu Bingqian knew that the six people from the Hanlin Academy absolutely followed Fang Congzhe's intention.
The emperor himself made the proposition, and Gu Bingqian couldn't help but get excited when he thought about it.
It seems that Qiao Yingjia really saw through the mystery. A group of cabinet ministers and six important ministers actually violated the holy will, and finally forced the emperor to make the proposition himself. The significance of this is too obvious.
Gu Bingqian knew that the focus would quickly shift to the examination and evaluation of papers.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Bingqian knew that it was time for him, the deputy examiner, to "step forward."
The deputy examiner was also the examiner. Gu Bingqian remembered Qiao Yingjia's leisurely words when he left at the end.
The deputy chief examiner has to correct omissions. If a fellow examiner sits on a crooked buttocks, he must correct him mercilessly.
Gu Bingqian also knew that he could not read all of these thousands of papers, but he needed to keep an eye on those who jumped the most with Fang Congzhe.
The transcribed papers began to flow in like water, and the ten classmates began to review the papers intensively.
Different from the Jingyi test paper, everyone basically has an agreed-upon standard for the Jingyi test paper. Basically, after a simple reading, you can determine the grade. As long as it is not too outrageous, you can basically pass the test.
But at this time, the policy theory is different, and the subjective impression is much more important. A paper may be completely different in the minds of different examiners, and the purpose of the deputy examiner is to supervise and correct omissions.
Before grading, both Fang Congzhe and Gu Bingqian specifically emphasized the need to pursue fairness in selecting scholars for the country, and also put forward some standards, but these standards were still in the minds of the examiners.
As the papers begin to be evaluated one by one, the particularly outstanding ones will be sent to the chief examiner for review. The deputy chief examiner mainly checks the dismissed papers to see if there are any omissions. It is also a supervision of the fellow examiners.
Everyone in each room will basically review 400 to 500 papers, and choose 30 to 40 of them. Of course, there is no fixed number, and it depends on the quality of the papers.
Gu Bingqian quietly patrolled among them, selecting one or two papers from time to time to review. Of course, for him, it only required a cursory look. As long as they were not too different from his own standards, he would not interfere.
"Absurd! Ridiculous! Unconventional and sensational!" As soon as Gu Bingqian walked to the other end, he heard the voice of Tang Chengcheng from the third room. He was shocked. This guy was also the one he was keeping an eye on.
