The east courtyard of Zhao Mansion has entered a heavily guarded state again.
Unlike last month¡¯s retreat, this time in addition to Zhao Hao and his son, five disciples who are about to take the palace examination also participated in this retreat training.
Mr. Zhao will use this last period of time to help his father and his disciples prepare for the palace examination in half a month.
This is the first time he has formally guided his disciples in their careers.
In the past, Zhao Hao always avoided talking about this. When asked by his disciples, he would only vaguely say something like, "The writing style must be steady, and avoid showing off with words," and "The intention must be upright, and you must not take the wrong direction."
The disciples had discussed this several times during the sleeping sessions after lights out.
Later historians saw from the notes left by the direct disciples that the consensus after their discussions was that - because the master knew that he 'said what he said'every word he said was to be recorded in "Science". "Book of Traditions" was regarded as a guide by thousands of disciples, guiding them to brave the wind and waves in the ocean of science.
When sailing, the pilot must not lead in the wrong direction, otherwise the ship will be destroyed and people will die. As a scientific navigator, Master cannot lead his disciples in the wrong direction, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Master must be careful in his words and deeds, not to say unscientific words, not to do unscientific things, and not to participate in unscientific activities.
The disciples agreed that in that era when Neo-Confucianism and Psychology were dominant. Although Master, in order to gain space for science to survive, he flatly denied that science is a type of philosophy, so as to avoid premature hatred and suppression.
But in his heart, he unswervingly believes in science.
Therefore, this great pioneer defended his purity by not taking part in the imperial examinations, not discussing Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism with his disciples, and not guiding them in the writing of eight-legged essays.
Also avoid misleading subsequent scientists.
At the end of the lying talk session, each disciple expressed his deep feelings to Master - Master, we understand your good intentions.
Whenever they see this place, later historians can¡¯t help but burst into tears. Zhao Zi is not self-interested but specializes in benefiting others. He sacrifices me to enlighten millions of people. What a noble sentiment this is!
¡°He is indeed a sage who ushered in a new era
??~~
In fact, Zhao Hao just doesn¡¯t know how to do it.
¡°That is something that I have been studying for twenty years, and Mr. Zhao can beat him ten times with one blow. Not to mention those top academic disciples.
Zhao Hao could only hide his clumsiness and try different tricks all day long to get through The way he pretended to be a ghost was very much like the qigong masters of later generations.
Fortunately, he has real talent and learning in other areas, so he has managed to survive until today.
As soon as the test ended, Zhao Hao's heart dropped. The days of being on tenterhooks, fearing that his weak nature would be seen through, were finally gone forever!
?????????? I can show off my cool again Oh no, I am setting an example to others!
Because the next palace examination will not test the Four Books and Five Classics, nor the eight-legged essay, nor the classics and classics, but will only rely on one strategic theory!
What is game theory? It's just the application of civil servants in later generations.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and Mr. Zhao knows the test questions and the current judging standards, has read many Jinshi strategy papers, he even has a set of answer routines that were summarized by later generations and proved to be effective every time.
Naturally, we can let go of the big talk and the special talk, and leave an indelible impression on these disciples who have high eyesight!
Someone may want to ask, is he now not afraid of letting people know that he knows the secret of predicting the test questions?
I¡¯m really not afraid anymore.
Because policy essays are the emperor's questions about national affairs; Chinese-style practical essays are used to ask people to give their opinions and suggestions.
You ask a bunch of bookworms who study hard behind closed doors all day long, can they understand those specific and nuanced government affairs?
Don¡¯t talk about them, the emperor doesn¡¯t understand either.
So we can only ask in general terms and talk in general terms.
?That is nothing more than five major categories: general theory of governance, education and ethics, economic and financial management, culture and education, and military strategy.
Since the number of questions that can be asked is limited, the candidates and their teachers will definitely spend a lot of energy guessing the questions, and there are definitely not a few people who guess correctly.
Especially for the imperial examination questions of this subject in the second year of Longqing, it is almost impossible to guess completely wrong, at least half of them can be guessed.
Therefore, Zhao Hao has nothing to worry about, just let go!
??~~
In the main room of the east courtyard, Zhao Hao stood in front of a blackboard, looking with bright eyes at his father and disciples who were sitting neatly opposite.
"Jinke is the emperor of today's Longqing."This is the first big competition since then, so the topic of policy discussion is most likely to be decided by His Majesty. The question of how to govern the country must be the top priority of the Ming Dynasty. So I think there is something that will definitely be asked! "
I just heard him say in a deep voice: "That's the strategy to keep the captives at bay!"
The disciples nodded after hearing this, this is almost certain. The so-called ¡®Northern captives and Southern Japanese¡¯ were serious border troubles that had plagued the Ming Dynasty for decades.
"Now that the Japanese pirates have been put down, the northern pirates are getting worse!" Zhao Hao said sadly:
"Last year, I led 60,000 troops, bypassed the Xuanda defense line, broke through the Piantou Pass and headed south. After capturing Shizhou, I massacred the city. More than 50,000 of my people were killed and their houses were burned for three days. Then they went deep into the Ming Dynasty. The hinterland is thousands of miles away, and there are countless ruined castles!"
"The Tuman tribe in Liaodong also invaded Ji Town at the same time, plundering Changli, Funing, Leting, Lulong and other places, all the way to Luanhe River. Wherever they went, countless killings, looting and burnings were carried out, and the capital was shaken. The imperial court had to declare martial law in the capital. , it was not until the two Tatars finished their plundering and returned home loaded with goods that the martial law was lifted."
"During this period, the performance of the Ming army was extremely poor. For example, when the Anta tribe invaded, it was raining continuously in autumn. Many horses died of illness and the roads were muddy. Many Tatars were not accustomed to the acclimatization and were tired from the journey, so they also fell ill. I We had no choice but to order the plundered property and population to be discarded, and we retreated in embarrassment with low morale."
"At this time, if we only send thousands of light cavalry to pursue, Anda will definitely be defeated and suffer heavy losses. However, of the 20,000 cavalry garrisoned in Datong and Taiyuan, no one dares to attack. Not to mention the Jiliao defense line in the north, with more than 200,000 troops. The dangerous pass actually made tens of thousands of barbarians unable to fight back, and they rushed directly into the capital to plunder!"
The more Zhao Hao talked, the angrier he became. He wrote four big characters on the blackboard: "Strengthen the troops and defeat the captives."
Then he slapped the blackboard hard and said: "You guys, who the hell can swallow this tone? Who the hell can trust such officers and soldiers!"
"Throw your pen and join the army!" Jin Xuezeng suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "First kill the Tatars, and then attack the Japanese country"
Before he finished speaking, a piece of chalk accurately hit his forehead.
Jin Xuezeng immediately put out the fire and sat back with the white spots on his forehead.
"The shame caused by the Tartars is like a scar on Ming Dynasty's face. If you avoid talking about it, insist on culture and education, and whitewash peace, you will be ridiculed by the world."
Zhao Hao patted the white dust on his hands and said in a deep voice: "So I think that the top priority of this year's policy discussion is also the most important one, which is to seek a strategy of 'strengthening armaments and controlling the Tartars'!"
