Cry for Song

Chapter 278 New Tongue Battle of Confucianism

In the next afternoon, in the council hall of the prince's palace, there were six people sitting opposite the seats on the east and west sides. The oldest of these people were fifty or sixty years old, and the youngest was in his thirties. Shi Zhaoxi led the king to come in from the outside. These people got up and said, "General Manager Shi..." Shi Zhaoxi nodded slightly. "You are all shogunate counselors in the prince's mansion, but all of them are full of talents. Today I brought a person..." He said, moving his body to the side and let the king behind him out: "This prince was once a third-grade servant of the court, and now he specially came from the capital to go to the prince. You We should greet the prince well. If we neglect it, I'm afraid everyone's seats will be moved.

Everyone here already knows the reason why the prince recruited everyone today. These people have heard of the names next to the king, but suddenly a stranger suddenly pressed on his head. He was more or less unconvinced. Seeing that Shi Zhaoxi sideways gave up a young man: this man looked only about 20 years old and wearing a square scarf. He was wearing a white embroidered green robe, an embroidered green silver belt around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand. He bowed his hand to everyone with a smile. Suddenly, he whispered in the hall: "This is next to the king." It's such a young generation." The long eyebrows are clear and beautiful." I'm afraid it's empty."

Shi Zhaoxi coughed hard twice. What kind of person is this? It was a mess before he tried. Everyone heard his cough and calmed down. Shi Zhaoxi said strangely to everyone, "Sirs, don't underestimate Mr. Wang. Last night, Mr. Wang went to the college to review it again. For a moment, this is well prepared."

Everyone listened and laughed. This was too big. In one night, he couldn't review a few books at a glance. A counselor sitting in the middle seat in the east laughed the most. While laughing, he pointed to the king: "This Mr. Wang is really working hard. I heard that Mr. Wang suffered last night. After reading "The Legend of Wushuang" and "The Legend of Qiu Kui Ke", I don't know whether the prince came to the prince's mansion as a counselor or to ask for marriage. Everyone laughed at this sentence, and Shi Zhaoxi also covered his mouth and smiled,

Wang Zong also laughed, and he laughed louder. Shi Zhaoxi asked, "Ha ha, Mr. Wang also thinks it's funny."

"No, no, I'm watching everyone laugh so happily, and I'm also happy. It's really good for everyone, hahaha"

This stupid boy really doesn't know how he was a third-grade waiter. Several counselors shook their heads. Shi Zhaoxi pointed to the last seat and said to the king, "That's it, please sit down first."

"Sitting here." Wang pointed to the chair and said, "Other than that Mr. Wang sits here. If you sits here, I can also have leisure to see the stories of wild history and review Taiping Guangji." It was the person who spoke just now. His words caused another burst of laughter. Wang Zong waved his hand quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry, this brother, please take the time being. Sit down, when you move your seat back, move it together.

Good boy, you killed a boat of people with one pole. Didn't you arouse the indignation? Shi Zhaoxi looked at everyone's faces, with all kinds of disdain and contempt. He didn't pay attention to the king. As he was smiling, he heard the bodyguard outside the door shouting: "The prince is here." Zhao Zong, the prince, strode into the council hall: "Haha, gentlemen, please sit down. As soon as I left, I heard laughter here. It seems that everyone is very speculative."

Shi Zhaoxi hurriedly said, "I just introduced Mr. Wang to you. The test has not yet begun, and I'm waiting for you to come."

"I have come, so let's start. What are you waiting for? Who will come first?" The prince couldn't wait. He looked at the six people sitting in the front seats on both sides of the exam. A counselor in the last seat in the west said, "Mr. Wang, the gentlemen here have followed the prince for many years, and I can't compare with them in the late life. Even so, I am still a scholar, but I heard that you haven't passed the exam so far. It's serious." Wang nodded: "Well, it's true." The people present laughed hoarsely, and the prince couldn't help frowning slightly,

The man shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang claims to have read books all over the world, but he doesn't even have a reputation. How did he read this book?" His words were a little sarcastic. If it hadn't been for the prince sitting on it, I guess these people would still laugh again, but the king said slowly, "My book is self-taught and self-taught. Reading is to know the world. The book is for myself, and the use of books are the king's way. My emperor Zeng Yun, the prime minister needs to use a scholar. , Taizu didn't say that the prime minister needed to use Jinshi. Isn't Taizu's words wrong?

"There seems to be some truth in Mr. Wang's words... But all prime ministers are Jinshi." Is that so?" The man who asked the question scratched his head first,

Wang Bian smiled and said, "The scientific examination system began with Emperor Sui Wen, but the formation of the system was his son Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the scientific examination system was proudly perfect, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that it became customized, Shang Dynasty Yi Yin; Zhou Dynasty Jiang Shang, Guan Zhong, Su Qin; Qin Dynasty Lv Buwei, Li Si; Han Dynasty Xiao He and Zhuge Liang of Shu, Which of these people is Jinshi? It is clear that later people misrehated Taizu's legacy. At the beginning, they were also Taizu's counselors and shogunate. Prime Minister Zhao Pu assisted Taizu to establish a foundation. Is Zhao Pu a Jinshi?

"This..." Not only did he hesitate to ask questions, but the counselors present also looked at each other in front of each other. Zhao Pu, right? It's really not Jinshi, but no one dares to say it. Isn't it equivalent to the first round of Wang's side winning? If you don't say it, I said that Wang's side straightened up, which is completely different from the way he laughed with everyone just now. He said with a serious face, "As counselors of the prince, you can't make contributions for Taizu like Prime Minister Zhao Pu, and also use the etiquette and education system to talk about his origin. Prime Minister Zhao Pu has been the prime minister three times. Although he is not a scholar, he is half of the Analects of Confucius to go around the world. Who dares to say that Zhao Pu is not a scholar?"

"Good." The prince took the lead in cheering. The king's words were in his heart. He was just about to add a yellow robe. Of course, he hoped that one person could help him achieve a great career like Zhao Pu. He shouted that others did not dare not shout, and the others had to bow their heads and said helplessly, "Okay, okay."

Sitting in the second position in the east, the man next to the king stood up and walked to the middle of the council hall: "Your Majesty, even if this prince compares himself with Zhao Pu, I will test him with the Analects of Confucius." The prince nodded,

Wang said to the heart: Good boy, you laughed at me just now, and now you are still taking the exam, but I heard the man say, "Mr. Wang, I am also familiar with the Analects of Confucius. This book was written in the early days of the Warring States Period with a total of 20 articles, 492 chapters, of which recorded about 444 chapters of Confucius and his disciples in time, remembering each other. 48 chapters of talking. He paused for a moment and looked around. His colleagues and shogunate nodded in agreement. He was proud and then said, "Since the prince compares himself to Zhao Pu, let's talk about governing the country: Zi said: Qi Yi changed, as for Lu; Lu Yi changed, as for Tao, how can the prince understand his meaning?"

"Alas, this question is too simple. Obviously, Confucius does not agree with the governance strategy of Qilu. To govern the country, we must be "poor and not humble, rich and not proud". We must do both good and evil, and attach equal importance to literature and martial arts. Just like a prince, he can make good use of ministers and attach importance to military generals. This is the root. Ben, I'm in Shaozhou these days. When I see the military positions in the states of Guangnan coming one after another, I can know the prince and attach great importance to literature and martial arts. Is this gentleman a tailor-made examination question for me? Thank you very much.

The questioner looked at Wang's smiling expression and said sullenly, "You're welcome." As soon as he turned around and sat back to his seat and stopped talking, the prince was overtated by what the king said. He looked at an old man sitting in the first seat: "Mr. Jiang, I think you haven't spoken for a long time. Why don't you also test this boy, haha." The prince said the boy in a very happy tone,

Mr. Jiang is the first shogunate of the current prince's palace. He smiled slightly: "Mr. Wang is indeed knowledgeable and talented. No wonder he read "The King" to relieve boredom... The prince dominates the capital, and he must have read all the books of the Royal Academy. I would like to ask Mr. Wang to recommend a book that is not found in the King's Academy. Of course, the wild history Forget the love words. I'm afraid I don't have time.

This topic is difficult enough. You not only need to know the books of the royal academy, but also know that there are no royal palaces in the imperial academy. However, perhaps others think it is difficult, but the king doesn't think so. He laughed and said, "In the first emperor's years, Emperor Renzong ordered the prime minister to compile the General Summary of Wujing. The previous episode introduces ancient and modern war examples, military system and military. Organize and select generals to use soldiers and formations; the latter episode introduces yin and yang divination, and analyzes and evaluates the battle examples of past dynasties and the gains and losses of using soldiers. This book can be read by Mr. Mr. Jiang and the people present listened to it and took a deep breath. This boy read a lot of books. Not only did he also read the newly compiled by the royal family. The king knew that the book had not been engraved yet. The prince Zhao Zongxun hurriedly said, "Oh, this book is a good book. Isn't there a book in our prince's mansion?"

Wang side smiled and said, "Why don't you look for this book engraving on the list? It's worth collecting."

The prince nodded: "Well, Wang's recommendation is good, but it's not a matter of time. I think you have to recommend another one from Mr. Jiang's question just now. I recommend it to Wangfu Academy. Mr. Jiang hasn't read it." After saying that, he looked at Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang nodded with a smile. He was confident that the first shogunate of the prince's mansion was not for nothing,

Wang Pang frowned for a time and thought, "I recommend this book." He took out the "Biography of the Guest" from his arms and personally stepped forward and handed it to Mr. Jiang: "Look at this..."

"This, this wild history novel, you let Mr. Jiang read it." The prince's eyes widened,

"Your Highness, when you see that Li Shimin is extraordinary, you spend his family's money to subsidize Li Jing and assist Li Shimin to achieve his achievements. This book has a mystery. Don't think that I'm a heroine in order to see Hongfu."

Everyone was stunned by Wang's words. Will there be any mystery in a wild history novel? The king's nonsense is too ridiculous. Seeing that everyone was skeptical, Wang said, "Prince, how much is your annual salary? Li Shimin can achieve a great career. The key is that with the financial support of the guests, it is real gold and silver. It has to be supported by a consortium, not to mention you, the prince.

Oh, Wang's words are pearly. This is the point. How can you think that you don't have money? Besides, who doesn't know that Jinxiang Mansion, Meyer Mansion, Jinxiu Tower, the boy next to the king is the god of wealth. The prince immediately ordered: "Sirs, please stand up and give the first place to Mr. Wang~" The counselors of the shogunate stood up reluctantly and moved one in turn to sit down. The prince pointed to the first place and laughed: "Mr. Wang, please sit down, you said too much. Well, but where is the United States? That country always stabbs the group.

"Haha, the President of the United States is the emperor of the United States, and the consortium pays him behind his back. Is the prince also in urgent need of money?" Wang Bong asked knowingly and looked at Zhao Zongxun with a smile,
