A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 556: Digging Pits to Bury Everyone in the World

Two groups of people, one with a large number of people, raised their hands to say hello; the other group with a small number of people glared at Shen An angrily.

"Articles and poems are originally elegant and polite things. Now that the method of writing questions on the sea has come out, the turbid air rises and the clean air falls to the ground. The stench fills the sky and is unbearable. I don't want to say that being polite is wiped out. From then on, the Song Dynasty was full of writing questions. "Sound, who is going to study the knowledge of the sages? Swallowing it without asking for a deeper understanding..."

A man in his thirties roared: "In a few years, those people will regard studying as a shortcut to becoming an official. By then..."

There was some fear in his eyes, and he pointed at Shen An and said, "You are the eternal sinner!"

Everyone was silent.

Someone murmured: "Yes! From south to north, those scholars are crazily writing articles and poetry. Why are they? Don't they just want to be officials?"

"horrible!"

"What's scary?"

"In the past, writing poetry was an elegant thing, and everyone would get together to drink and play with girls...the poetry was flying and the spirit was high! But what about now? Poetry is bad!"

"The same goes for articles."

"The articles and poems that those people wrote in a year would have been impossible to write in a lifetime if they had been in the past!"

"Terrible! Terrible!"

Those traditional failed candidates are angry, probably thinking that this will make them feel better.

Everyone was looking at Shen An, waiting for his counterattack.

"Why are you waiting to study?"

Shen An asked calmly, showing no anger at being accused.

Everyone was stunned. Probably no one had thought about this problem, so they started to think about it.

For those who have the conditions, reading is as natural as drinking water.

Then what……

"If you're not going to be an official...why are you taking the exam?"

Shen An asked this suddenly, then turned and left.

Zhao Zhongzhen did not leave.

The candidates were thinking, and someone raised his head and said: "A certain person is studying only to learn the knowledge of the sages, and the exam is just a matter of course..."

This is shameless.

Since you are here for learning, why are you taking the exam?

Although this statement is impeccable from a theoretical point of view, but from a selfish point of view...

This man is so shameless!

But who can refute him?

There’s no way to refute it!

If you say he is shameless, then those who will take part in the imperial examination will be even more shameless.

This is sophistry!

Sophistry that makes people feel helpless and makes them want to be beaten.

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhongzhen and thought, this man has beaten people before. Will everyone see a full martial arts show today?

Zhao Zhongzhen said coldly: "Since it's by the way, you don't have to come here from now on."

No one expected that Zhao Zhongzhen would fight back like this, so they were all dumbfounded.

Of course it has no effect when others say this, but Zhao Zhongzhen is the future prince.

The future prince asked you not to come to the exam in the future, will you come?

Here comes the dilemma.

Even if you succeed in passing the imperial examination and become an official in the future, with such an emperor staring at you... this official will probably be on tenterhooks.

The man was also dumbfounded. He originally wanted to stop Shen An's suggestion, but Zhao Zhongzhen stepped forward.

What to do about this matter?

He forced a smile and said: "Someone...someone..."

Something?

He couldn't speak anymore.

Promise not to take exams in the future... That's a lunatic, he will go crazy.

If you don't agree, you will be forced to wear small shoes in the future.

What to do?

He sat on the wax, and finally turned around and squeezed out, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

Isn't this person too shameless?

This time even his accomplices looked down upon him.

"hypocrite!"

Zhao Zhongzhen gave this evaluation sharply, and the candidates all praised it in their hearts.

"To read thoroughly, the first thing to do is to bend down."

Zhao Zhongzhen said: "I have seen many colorful articles and heard many admirable poems. But I have also been to the countryside, saw a lot of poverty, and seen a lot of despair... Then I thought deeply, why should I study?"

Everyone was silent.

"Reading and understanding the truth is the most important thing and will remain unchanged for thousands of years."

These words are very high-level and consistent with Zhao Zhongzhen's identity.

His eyes were particularly sharp, thinking of Chang Er's pair of children, the black toes protruding from the shoes, the hay stuffed in the clothes, and the panic in his eyes.

"Poetry is a matter of personal preference, and it is ranked at the back in today's imperial examinations. As for articles, articles are meant to convey the truth. What is the use of gorgeous words? Words come from the heart. Who can read the whole article as empty words?"

This is relegating poetry to the dirt and turning it into a pastime for literati.

As for articles, articles should convey the truth, and words should come from the heart. What you say should be meaningful, and get away with being false and empty.

What a sharp young man!

Someone praised: "Xiao Langjun's words make sense. Poetry... isn't it that he did most of his work in brothels? Liu Sanbian in the past is an example."

Someone retorted: "If this is the case, everyone will be able to study in the future. As long as there are famous teachers and they are more diligent, countless people can take the exam. By then, everyone in the world will study, and who will farm the land? Who will do business?" Who will do the work..."

Damn it!

Everyone couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the spectacular scene in which hundreds of thousands of people would flock to Bianliang to take part in the provincial examination.

If this is the case, scholars are really worthless.

"I don't have the ability, who is to blame?"

Zhao Zhongzhen continued his sharpness today, "Others can work hard, why can't you? What is reading when you are leisurely and leisurely all day long? What kind of scholars does the Song Dynasty want?"

"I think the Song Dynasty needs responsible scholars, rather than those who want to enter the officialdom. There must be responsibility in the heart, and what kind of responsibility? If you live high in the temple, you will worry about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king. The Great Song Dynasty Song treated officials well because the officials wanted officials to treat the people well... and nothing else."

"When you get a salary, you have to do things. There is a king above, and there are people below. The king cannot be bullied, and the people cannot be fooled. Only when there is smooth flow from top to bottom can the Song Dynasty prosper."

Most of these candidates are young and enthusiastic, so they were quite touched after hearing these words.

Zhao Zhongzhen said loudly: "The officials are benevolent. Every time they hold the imperial examination, they are eager for talents. There are redundant officials in the Song Dynasty, and there are quite a lot of them!"

This man is crazy!

Is redundant official something you can mention now?

Some people glanced wildly, with sneers and pride on their lips.

You say it, let it go, and these words will naturally spread everywhere later.

Zhao Zhongzhen seemed not to know this and said: "There is no shortage of officials in the Song Dynasty, there is a shortage of people, and there is a shortage of talents. Officials are looking forward to it, hoping to find talents in every subject and put them to good use. Everyone, on this prosperous occasion, , if you don’t join them, why are you waiting?”

Those people's faces turned red, obviously they were inspired.

Zhao Zhongzhen finally smiled and said: "The officials said they are waiting for you at the Political Hall, so we'll see."

Everyone cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang, for the explanation."

Zhao Zhongzhen nodded with a smile and went back to find Shen An.

After walking only two hundred steps, Zhao Zhongzhen saw Shen An sitting on the roadside, talking to a hawker.

The vendor is frying tofu dumplings. Each golden tofu dumpling is placed on a plate, and then a plate of sauce is put on it...

Shen An held back his saliva and took one.

The dipping water is sour and spicy. As soon as the dumplings are put into the mouth, the sour and spicy hit first, and the taste buds immediately open; soon the burnt aroma of the dumplings is fused in, and various flavors burst out...

The dumplings were very hot when they came out of the pot, but Shen An couldn't wait any longer. He opened his mouth and breathed out the hot air, then hurriedly chewed it.

"You almost cheated me."

Zhao Zhongzhen sat next to him, asked for chopsticks, and waited to dip them in water.

"You exposed those sanctimonious faces and sneaked back to eat alone. I still have to use hard and soft tactics to suppress the matter, otherwise Yulin Alley will be busy today."

Shen An bit into a tofu ball and blew on it.

"What will happen if the whole world learns in the same way?"

Shen An ate the dumplings and analyzed: "Everyone knows how to learn, so the gap between each other will be narrowed, and the competition will become more and more fierce... But the annual FAQ test and the provincial test are so There are too many places but too many monks and too little rice, what should I do?"

Zhao Zhong got the needle to dip into the water. He used chopsticks to stir the water evenly and said: "At that time, we will either open up the quota, but there are so many official positions to accommodate them? Or we will make the questions more difficult, but this is not a solution. , because the exams are all about those books, and sooner or later someone will figure it out, right."

He took the tofu dumplings and said, "Will those people be unwilling to study by then?"

"Won't."

Shen An said very firmly, Zhao Zhongzhen asked: "Why?"

"Because only by studying can one become a master. Who can give up this temptation?"

Zhao Zhongzhen nodded and said: "Yes, but the more you study, the less you do, which gives you a headache."

Shen An smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I'll just come up with something new by then."

"Miscellaneous studies...that's right!"

Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes lit up, "When the time comes to get out the miscellaneous subjects, do you want to take the exam? Then learn from the beginning. And at that time, everyone kept silent about the knowledge of the sages. It only makes sense if you pass the exam..."

He looked at Shen An and smiled sinisterly, "You did it on purpose. You have been planning it from the beginning. It's a pity that those scholars think you are so generous, and you actually released the method of questioning the sea, benefiting millions of people. , but in the end you have miscellaneous students waiting for them. You also say that I am evil, what are you talking about? "

This boy is getting smarter and smarter.

A young man full of energy and evil will make the court very lively in the future.

As for miscellaneous studies, Shen An admitted this, "Yes, I thought of this when I first released this method of questioning the sea, but didn't you find that the method of studying the sea of ​​questions is most suitable for miscellaneous studies. UU Reading wwww. uukanshu.net”

Zhao Zhongzhen closed his eyes and thought about the knowledge points, and said with a wry smile: "It is true, you... you dug this hole so big that you are going to bury everyone in the world."

Shen An said calmly: "Just doing something casually, you have learned a lot anyway, and Wang Yu's side is even more... Speaking of him, it's time for him to arrive, right?"

Wang Yu's profound knowledge in miscellaneous studies fully reflects his superiority in IQ.

Zhao Zhongzhen also missed Wang Yu a little. He felt that when he and Wang Yu were together, each one's ideas were more powerful than the other. They were really good partners.

"about there."

But Shen An felt that if the two of them got together, who would be unlucky again? One is sinister, the other is full of conspiracy...

Wang Yu followed Chen Ang to Jiangnan, and his first stop was Hangzhou.

Thanks to the book friend "Legend of Xiyuan" for rewarding the leader, thank you. ∠(`ω′*) salute
