    There is fine snow falling in the sky, and the earth is shrouded in ice and cold.

    But this did not stop the enthusiasm of the candidates.

    Although the provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture is not important, because it is in the capital and there are many wealthy families in the capital, the various prefectures pay a lot of attention to it.

    Liu Jie is the son of the chief assistant, so many of his classmates recognize him.

    As soon as he appeared outside the examination room, many people immediately greeted him warmly.

    Among these people, some were old and some were young. They all bowed their hands to him, but Liu Jie felt a little uncomfortable and had to return the favor.

    As early as more than ten years ago, when he came to take the exam, he must have called for friends, but now faced with such a situation, he seemed at a loss.

    The older he got, and as his father's official position became more and more prominent, he began to realize that he was different from others. For others, it was luck to be a scholar. If he could win, it would be even more gratifying.

    "As for myself, a scholar with a good reputation, it is nothing but a great shame and humiliation for me to fail repeatedly.

    Not only Liu Jie, but also many scholars studying in Xishan also arrived.

    There are thirteen people in total, and they all see each other every day, or maybe because they share the same problem, they seem to be warmer when they meet.

    Everyone entered the Gongyuan in an orderly manner. The person who presided over the Shuntian Prefecture tribute examination this year was Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites.

    Zhang Sheng's experience is legendary. He was the number one scholar in Chenghua for five years. Later, when he was in Chenghua, he wrote a letter to impeach the cabinet scholar Liu Ji on ten crimes. Instead, he was framed. He was a good Hanlin editor and was demoted to the Nanjing Ministry of Industry.  Yuanwailang was dismissed from office.  So, like many unsatisfactory ministers during the Chenghua period, when Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, Zhang Sheng immediately rose to the sky, becoming the left and right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and moved to the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites.

    Your Majesty suddenly ordered Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, because Shuntian Prefecture is different from the ordinary provincial examination.

    For the provincial examinations in each province, only one academic officer is required to preside over the examination.  The situation in Shuntian Prefecture is the most complicated. After all, here, there are as many powerful people as dogs. If an ordinary academic officer presides over the provincial examination, even if this person is upright and can withstand the pressure, the results of the examination will be questioned by the candidates.

    Therefore, the examiners of Shuntian Prefecture are often hand-picked. Last time, the examiner was Wang Ao, the Minister of Civil Affairs. This official position is of high authority, so naturally the candidates do not have to worry about anyone daring to exert pressure in front of the prince.  On the other hand, Wang Ao has always been upright and is known to everyone, and no one is worried that he will be involved in fraud.

    The same goes for Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, which is extraordinary.  What's more, he is also famous for his uprightness. When he was young, he had already opposed the then cabinet elder. Therefore, he dismissed his official position without changing his original intention. He was also the first scholar. With such qualifications, who dares to question Zhang Shangshu's impartiality?

    Liu Jie had no impression of Zhang Sheng, so when he entered the Gongyuan Academy to salute the great master, he took his examination number and left.

    When he arrived at the examination booth, he took a deep breath. He was discouraged by failing the exam many times. He still came to take the exam, but there was still a trace of unwillingness deep in his heart.

    Thinking about itthis time, it was also difficult.

    "Butin Xishan, several gentlemen asked him to write eight-legged essays continuously, saying that his eight-legged essays had made some progress, but they didn't know if it was of any use?

    He tried hard to recall that in this short period of six months, he had written eighty eighty-part essays instead of one hundred. To the point where he would reflexively want to break the topic when he saw any words in the Four Books and Five Classics.

    Maybethis timethere will be a chance.

    He thought so.

    Then a cannon shot.

    The examiner was giving the questions, and the guards were holding signs and walking around in various examination booths.

    When the officer raised the sign in front of Liu Jie, Liu Jie saw the four words "Ning Wu Zibang" written clearly on the sign.

    Liu Jie was stunned for a moment, this question made an impression.

    It¡¯s not that this question left a deep impression on me, but that among the many questions he had asked, there was really one like this.

    The questions asked by several gentlemen ranged from 100 to 80. If you have done this question too many times, you will inevitably become a little numb. The reason why this question has an impression is that it is very tricky.

    How deep is the trap?

    "If you understand these four words Ning Wu Zibang, you will find that it is impossible to understand them. These four words come from "The Analects of Confucius".  "Gongzhichang", the original text is: Confucius said: "Ning Wuzi, if a country has the way, it will be known; if a country does not have the way, it will be stupid. Its knowledge can be reached, but its stupidity cannot be reached."  ¡¯

    Blackreally black

    When the gentlemen assigned this question, this was everyone¡¯s initial impression.

    Ning Wuzi is a person¡¯s name, but ¡®Bang¡¯ comes from ¡®Bangyou¡¯Having become an examiner, I know how difficult it is to be an examiner. I cannot understand the pain of being an examiner. I work for the court, just to receive some scolding, it doesn't matter.  "

    The implication is that there is still a little bit of excitement. Although I was scolded, didn¡¯t I show my level?

    At this time, the examiner asked again: "Mr. Zhang, do you want this student to be expelled from his meritorious service"

    Zhang Sheng pressed his hands and said: "No need, the matter is not that serious. Just drive him out and cancel his provincial examination this year. It is common for young people to be ignorant."

    Therefore, all the examiners took this opportunity to praise him: "Mr. Zhang is so magnanimous and magnanimous that no ordinary person can compare with him."

    Old God Zhang Sheng said: "I think it will be very difficult for Shuntian Mansion to select a few talents this year."

    This is the truth. The topic is so difficult that it would be a miracle if someone could write an article fluently. Others are hard to come by.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
