Chapter 2140 Test Questions

He is considered the leader of the big guys, so he must protect everyone and prevent everyone from being implicated by his companions.

Hua Qianshan said: "Promise, promise, we all agree. After moving in, we will never go out except to take part in the examination and look at the results!"

Liang Jiang also said: "Brother Gu, don't worry, we will definitely abide by the rules."

Yan Xiaowu also agreed: "Before I came here, I told the elders in Beijing that they should concentrate on preparing for the exam. They would not go back home for dinner during the New Year, and asked them not to send anything. Brother Gu, please don't worry."

but……

"The elders in my family are worried about my safety and will release people near the house, but they will not come in. I hope Brother Gu and Dou Shaodong's family don't mind."

Yan Xiaowu is the most learned direct descendant of this generation of the Yan family. He is about to take the national examination, so the family naturally needs to protect him.

"That's no problem. Come on, come in." Gu Jinan went to help them move and welcomed them into the house.

After Dou Shaodong's family arranged a yard for them, they continued to eat, rested after eating, and got up early to study the next day.

Mr. Ouyang gave Gu Jinan several boxes of books and articles. The books were personally annotated by Mr. Ouyang, and many of the articles were written by Mr. Ouyang Hong.

"There are even strategies for the previous subject!" Liang Jiang was shocked. He didn't expect Mr. Ouyang Hong to still take the imperial examination questions at such an old age.

Hua Qianshan was very proud: "I brought you here, right?"

If they hadn't followed Brother Gu, how could they have seen such an article.

but……

Gu Jinan said: "I'm afraid the exams this year will be very different from those in previous years."

Yan Xiaowu asked: "Brother Gu, what do you mean?"

Hua Qianshan was more direct: "Brother Gu, what do you think the main test of this subject is?"

Every time there are students guessing questions in the scientific examination, Gu Jinan can tell them with confidence: "Most of them are related to the military... War is a major event that affects the whole body. Not only do we need soldiers who can fight, but we also need civilian officials to provide material supplies. Civil servants are needed to manage the territory well during wartime.”

"It is necessary to resist the enemy. If you want to win, you must have both civil and military skills. You must have strong generals who can take the enemy's lead among all the troops, and you must have civil servants who can stabilize the people."

Gu Jinan's words made everyone enlightened. He also took out the letter written by Qin Sanlang and showed it to everyone.

What was written in the letter was not a secret, just some articles on how to supply materials and how the northwest prefectures managed their people during wartime.

Yan Xiaowu was very glad that he had the shamelessness to come to Gu Jinan, otherwise he would never have thought of this. If Emperor Jing Yuan really asked a question about military affairs, he would have no way to solve the question.

That's right, the Yan family has received news that the test questions for this year's exam will be written by Emperor Jingyuan.

Emperor Jingyuan became more and more distrustful of aristocratic families, and always felt that there were traitors everywhere around him. The imperial examination was to select talents for the country, so he should not be careless, so he decided to set the questions himself.

As for what the test questions are, no one knows now.

Emperor Jingyuan would issue the test questions after the candidates entered the examination booth, and ask his personal guards to deliver the test questions to the Gongyuan, and then tell the candidates what the test questions were by beating drums and shouting.

In short, everything is unknown in this examination.

In the days that followed, Gu Jinan and the others stayed in the house to prepare for the exam, writing policy after policy, all about military affairs, military supplies, peace of mind during wartime, and farming during wartime.

There is a battle to be fought and food to be eaten.

Another point……

"Regarding natural disasters during wartime, you should also think about it. If a natural disaster occurs during war, how should you govern the people, how should you rescue them, and how should you comfort them so that the victims will not cause trouble?" Gu Jinan reminded.

To be honest, Liang Jiang was depressed by his reminder: "Brother Gu...it's not so miserable, right?"

If life were really so miserable, he wouldn't even want to live, let alone being an official.

"Why not? Didn't you read the story I wrote about fighting against the Japanese? It's as miserable as it gets." Lu Bai didn't have to take the exam, so he was watching the show in a relaxed manner, but his face was stained at the moment. There were patches of green and purple, and it looked a bit miserable.

Yao Youqian said: "Take it easy next time you go out, don't get beaten to death."

Lu Bai has been hanging around the city gate recently, asking about people from various places who came to the capital to raise children. When he caught some people, they became angry and asked his servants to push them to the ground and beat them wildly.

If Dou Shaodong's family hadn't sent people to secretly follow him and rescue him out of fear that he would bring trouble to Gu Jinan, this kid would have been beaten to death.

"Can you blame me?" Lu Bai said: "I just saw that Meng Juren hugged his concubine even when he got out of the car to be examined, so I asked him if he should also hug his concubine when he went to the Gongyuan examination? He got angry and gave up. Someone beat me up."

"Such a lustful man who has to take women with him even when he's taking exams. What else can he do when he becomes an official, besides bringing harm to the country and the people? No, I want to write about him and let the whole capital know about him!"

Yao Youqian said: "Don't involve us."

"You know, I use pseudonyms when I'm out and about. Every time my name is different, no one can trace me." Lu Bai said with experience.

Gu Jinan reminded him: "You can write it if you want, but you have to make sure that what you write is true, and you can't ruin other people's reputations, otherwise I will personally escort you to see the official!"

Lu Bai: "I understand. In the past few years, you have reminded me every time you see me. I am careful. I won't write unless I really do."

He saw with his own eyes that the original Meng Juren acted dissolutely, and there was no slander against him at all.

He also talked about Cui Yiwen: "He often attends cultural gatherings these days, and also goes to meet with someone from the Ministry of Etiquette. He doesn't concentrate on his studies at all."

Cui Yiwen was a member of the Jianghuai Hushan Mansion. He and Gu Jinan had passed the college and provincial examinations, so they were acquaintances for several years.

Gu Jinan frowned upon hearing this.

Lu Bai asked him: "Do you want to take care of it?"

Gu Jin'an said: "If you are in the same department, you will naturally have to be reminded."

In the afternoon, when Dou Shaodong's family came over, Gu Jinan told him the matter and asked him to remind Cui Yiwen and the others: "At this juncture, the most important thing is to prepare for the exam, and it is best not to go to the rest of the entertainment... The capital is deep in water, and no one knows you. Will you be able to please the nobles, or will you be buried in a foreign land?"

Dou Shaodong's family immediately went to Donglai Inn and informed Xi Jiaoyu.

Xi Jiaoyu gathered all the candidates together and told them these words. He also ordered the candidates not to go out to socialize before the Chinese New Year and to study hard behind closed doors!

This reminder saved the lives of many people.

Also saved Cui Yiwen's life.

Within two days, Cui Yiwen got the news that a Juren he met at the cultural conference who ranked third in the Zhongyuan Jinke Provincial Examination was drunk and assaulted a girl. He was sued and his reputation as a Juren was reduced.

That Juren was ranked third in the provincial examination. He had a good chance of passing this exam. His family was already preparing seats for him to go back. As a result, his fame was cut short. He couldn't think about it for a moment and threw himself into the moat. When he was fished out, his eyes were still open. If you keep your eyes open, you will die with your eyes open.

There was another corpse fished out of the moat that day, and it was also a candidate who came from out of town to take the exam. It was said that he got drunk and drowned in the river while attending a cultural gathering.

Cui Yiwen was scared to death. He originally resented Gu Jinan for leaving him at Donglai Inn and took his acquaintance to the residence. Now he no longer hated Gu Jinan and was immersed in studying.

As the exams get closer, there are more and more news about things happening to candidates from all over the country. Either they made mistakes and were sued, or they died, or they had accidents and lost their limbs.
