The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

"This is Han Shu's No. 1 exam in the twelfth year of Kangxi's reign. Of course, he is very good at solving the questions. I just happened to remember Han Shu's problem solving for this sentence and applied it to this exam. Reading 520 official website

Bai Gui was not complacent and explained to Zhou Yuan.

"..." Zhou Yuan.

His expression changed rapidly. He didn't expect that he actually lost to the No. 1 Scholar. This was not an unfair defeat. But in a daze, he woke up immediately. Is this really a coincidence?

"Have you finished memorizing "Thirty Thousand Choices of Big Questions"?"

He looked surprised and looked at Bai Gui as if he were an inhuman being.

The four characters "heartbroken and crazy" are written all over his face.

During the Guangxu period, the Shanghai Tongwen Bureau published "Thirty Thousand Selection of Big Questions", "Small Title Wenfu", "Sequel to Small Title Wenfu" and other must-have sample essays for the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty. The book is divided into "University" according to the four books. , "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Shanglun", "Xialun", "Shangmeng" and "Xiameng" are divided into six categories. The lower part is divided into major topics and minor topics.

Each different proposition contains sample essays (examination essays) written by multiple authors with different styles. "There are many types of questions, and one must-have number questions" are all solved by famous experts, and the test questions are discussed from multiple angles.

Zhou Yuan knew that Bai Gui had borrowed a volume of "Thirty Thousand Selection of Big Questions" from the academy's bookstore a day or two after entering the academy.

"I've memorized about three or four out of ten of the papers. There are other papers that I haven't memorized. I just happened to come across the question when Mr. yesterday, so I used this method to solve the question, which is a bit tricky..."

Bai Gui did not hide it and admitted it openly.

These scientific essays such as "Xiao Ti Wen Fu" are the most suitable for a child prodigy with a good memory like him. As long as he has recited them, he will be able to solve the problem like a god. Once the problem is solved, the subsequent content will be much simpler. The argument, expounded in the tone of a saint, cannot be inferior to me...

However, although the article produced in this way will not be dismissed, it will be as disgusting as eating a fly when the examiner reads it, and the ranking will not be much higher.

Therefore these techniques are only auxiliary.

But it can also be used in emergencies!

No matter how high the standard of the county examination can be, after passing the county examination, the subsequent prefecture examination and hospital examination can continue to improve.

"Hey, what are you..."

At this moment, Zhou Yuan admitted that he was a little jealous. With such a good memory and working hard day and night, he didn't believe that Bai Gui was not on the list.

Soon, there were few people in the school.

Only Bai Gui is still writing hard.

It was already lunch time and most students went to the dining hall to eat.

He was holding a commentary book on "The Doctrine of the Mean", which was written by the students in the school. On the title page of the book were written three small characters of "Wang Ruqin" in regular script. It was the same book that was first lent to them when he was preaching the Holy Edict. The student of the book.

He borrowed books from these students in order of ranking and watched their annotations and insights.

Because the four of them have a close relationship with Mr. Zhu, Confucians are eager to learn, and they have long been familiar with the meaning of the classics. They have no shortage of time, so they are happy to borrow books and are willing to give them to them. Explain your own opinions.

Every time I write vigorously, I arrange these in separate rows to reflect each other.

The first copying was not very effective, but after three or four times, his understanding of the scriptures was no longer comparable to that of Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan only saw his failure in writing eight parts, but did not see his improvement in the study of the scriptures. .

At first, he persuaded Zhou Yuan and others, and Zhou Yuan and others followed suit, but unfortunately they did not have such a perverted memory as him, so they gradually abandoned it, thinking that it would be a waste of time for them to make progress as much as learning from Mr. Zhu. time……

In one day, he could copy two people's opinions on the scriptures, and the speed was getting faster and faster. After all, some interpretations of the meaning of the scriptures were repeated and the opinions were interlinked. He only chose the good ones and followed them.

"Senior Brother Wang is seventh on the list. If you copy the other six people, you will have completed this stage of the task."

After a long time, let go of the pen.

Bai Gui rubbed his sore palms and fingers and walked outside to get some fresh air.

As soon as I walked to the door, I met three people returning from the dining hall.

"Have you finished copying?"

Lu Zhaopeng handed Bai Gui some steamed buns.

Stuffed with cabbage and meat, with a few drops of sesame oil, it tastes fragrant.

"Why didn't you eat in the back house today?"

Bai Gui took a bite and realized that this was not the craftsmanship of Master Zhu Bai. After a closer look, he saw that the bun wrapper was made very different from the past. Although it was quite fragrant, he was still a little confused.

The reason why they did not go to the dining room opened by the academy was because Bailu Academy was a government-run county school, and the caterers and food inside were provided by the academy and allocated funds from Zishui County.

When they went to eat, they were suspected of taking advantage of others and slandering Mr. Zhu.

To avoid suspicion, I won’t go!

There were three schools in the Song Dynasty, namely the Qingli School in the Renzong Dynasty, chaired by Fan Zhongyan; the Xining School in the Shenzong Dynasty, chaired by Wang Anshi; and the Chongning School in the Huizong Dynasty, chaired by Cai Jing. During the establishment of schools in Xining presided over by Wang Anshi, the school land system was created. The court specially allocated school land for local official schools to support the financial expenditure of local official schools. This school land system was also used by later generations.

Therefore, once they go to the dining room to dine, they are suspected of being self-serving for their own benefit.

The other eight students who studied practical studies did not need to worry about this matter. During the Westernization Movement, practical schools were already established in various places and were provided by the imperial court and local governments.

"Four Taoist priests came today, two older ones and two younger ones. The master's wife was entertaining them, so I gave them money and told them to go to the dining room to buy some food."

Bai Xiaowen swallowed a mouthful of meat buns and said while eating.

"It's strange to say that these four Taoist priests are dressed in different styles. I know two of them should be Quan Zhen, who came down from Zhongnan Mountain, and the other two are from the south..."

Lu Zhaopeng frowned and recalled the four Taoists he had just met.

Zishui County is adjacent to Zhongnan Mountain, the ancestral home of Taoism. There are countless Taoist holy places in Guanzhong, such as the Chongyang Palace in Huxian County, the Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace in Changlefang, Xi'an, Louguantai in Zhouzhi, Jinxian Temple in Chang'an, Yuquanyuan in Huashan, Ziyang Zhenren Palace in Ankang...

There is even a Baiyun Temple in Zishui County.

"Those are the Hunyuan scarf and the Jiuliang scarf."

"When I went to Xi'an Mansion, I heard someone say that in the north we have the Quanzhen Tao, and in the south we have the Zhengdao. Zhengyi can get married. You said they can get married, so why do they practice the Tao?"

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows and said.

Compared with Quanzhen, in his perception, the Taoist priests of Zhengdao were somewhat different from what Taoist priests should look like.

"The founder of the Zhengdao sect is Zhang Daoling, the eighth generation grandson of Zhang Liang. It has a long history and is earlier than our Quanzhen."

Bai Gui answered according to his memory. He had been exposed to much more information than Zhou Yuan in later generations.

"Do you think they can live forever if they practice Taoism?"

Bai Gui asked curiously.

When he heard in Bailu Town that the Queen Mother of the West was coming to Guanzhong to build a mausoleum in Gantian Town, he became extremely curious. Is there really Taoism spreading in this world?

"Brother, how can you have immortality?"

Wang Ruqin walked over with a smile. He was impressive and full of elegance, "I also went to Baiyun Temple and asked the Taoist priest in the temple. The Taoist priest said that practicing Taoism can prolong life, but immortality is impossible."
