Chen time.

Magistrate Ye of the county government was excited and heartened to have the good fortune to receive guidance from an expert.

The expert who was guiding him, who currently only had an elementary school education, was about to get up and prepare to go to school.

Before leaving, Old Cui said as usual: "Brother Yu, Brother Xian, be careful and safe on the road."

"I know, Grandma."

Cui Yu and Cui Xian responded and went out together.

Mrs. Cui watched her two grandsons go away, then turned back to urge her two sons: "Oldest, second oldest, go back to your room and study."

Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan immediately returned to the house with bitter faces.

The new home is settled and the grandson is in school.

After a few days of relaxation, Mrs. Cui started to tense up again and continued to watch her son study.

She was planning how to send her two sons to the county school.

Unfortunately, this is not something that can be accomplished simply by spending some money; it also requires connections.

The other side.

The two brothers of the Cui family walked to the entrance of Funiu Lane and met up with Pei Jian and his four companions who were waiting for them.

Then they rushed to the clan school together.

But for some reason, the atmosphere today is particularly depressing.

Except for Cui Xian, who was carrying a book box and humming a little tune leisurely, he looked relaxed and comfortable.

The other four people, including Cui Yu, all had expressions as if they had lost their parents and as if going to school was like visiting a grave.

babble?

What's going on?

Cui Xian asked cautiously: "But what happened?"

It’s strange, he was fine yesterday!

Upon hearing this, the other five people looked at each other and saw the dullness in each other's eyes.

Forget it, a genius is destined to never understand the sadness of those poor students.

Pei Jian sighed, looking gloomy: "You will know in a while."

profound.

Cui Xian tactfully did not ask any more questions.

Sure enough, after arriving at the clan school, he immediately knew it.

In classroom.

Wu Qinglan had a stern expression and held a ruler in his hand. "Except for Cui Xian who has just entered the school, the rest of you will recite the contents of the "National Policy" and "Three Commentaries" that we taught yesterday. After reciting, answer a question about the relevant content, and the answer must be quoted from the "Analects of Confucius."

hiss!

Hearing this, everyone in the school gasped.

Didn’t you say that I just need to recite it?

Why are there temporary test questions?

The requirements are so terrifying and strict.

The questions come from "Guoce" and "Three Commentaries", and the answers come from "The Analects of Confucius", which are three different subject books.

Not to mention the large volume of "The Analects of Confucius".

"Three Commentaries" refers to the three commentaries on "Spring and Autumn Annals", namely: "Zuo Zhuan", "Gongyang Zhuan" and "Guliang Zhuan", which are annotations and elaborations of "Spring and Autumn Annals".

"Guoce" is also known as "Strategies of the Warring States", which mainly records the strategies and speeches of the diplomats during the Warring States Period.

The Analects is a Confucian classic.

Therefore, this is to allow students to refer to classics and history and to make dialectical comparisons between the two!

One student stood up angrily and complained, "Teacher, you clearly said yesterday that we only needed to recite, why do we have to answer questions today?"

Seeing this scene, Pei Jian's face turned pale and he cursed this man a thousand times in his heart.

Because the student who stood up and talked back to the teacher was sitting in front of Pei Jian.

Everyone who has been to school knows this.

When a student talks back to the teacher, or is asked to answer a question, he cannot answer it.

Then everyone around this person will suffer.

It's definitely the crime of 'killing classmates in class'.

really.

Wu Qinglan looked at the student who stood up and said coldly: "You are disrespectful to the teacher, so I will deduct one point. Since you have stood up, I will start reciting from you."

The student's face froze and he stammered, unable to recite it.

Okay!

You can't even recite it, and you dare to question the Master and ask other questions?

Wu Qinglan immediately said, "Now, stand up and start reciting in your mind. You can't have dinner until you can recite it by heart. Stand up at the back table."

Pei Jiansheng stood up with no desire and recited haltingly: "Zou Ji was more than eight feet tall, and had a handsome appearance. He put on his court dress, looked in the mirror, and said to his wife..."

This is a classic story from "Strategies of the Warring States: Strategies of Qi I", in which Zou Ji persuaded the King of Qi to accept advice.

Of course, there is much more to memorize than just this paragraph.

Fortunately, although Pei Jian made a few mistakes, he finally managed to recite it.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Master Wu asked, "The strategists talked about 'momentum'. What metaphor can be used to describe the 'momentum' in the 'Guoce'?"

ah?

Pei Jian's mind went blank.

Especially when Master Wu stared at him coldly, sweat began to form on his forehead, but he had no idea what to do.

This is clearly a question that only covers "National Policy".

But the tricky thing is that he has to answer using "The Analects of Confucius"!

Pei Jian was also very brave. He couldn't think of anything, so he simply gave up: "I don't know."

"Stand still. Left, go on."

Li Heyu stood up with a pale face.

He was better than Pei Jian, at least he could recite the book smoothly, but he still couldn't answer the question.

Not just the two of them.

Everyone in the class stood up one after another. At most, they could recite it without understanding its meaning.

This is what people often say: I know the facts, but not the reasons.

What’s the point of just reading books?

Seeing all the students standing there with their heads down, Wu Qinglan's face flushed with anger: "How stupid! How stupid! I almost failed to give you the answer yesterday, and today no one can answer it!"

"I'm so angry! If you can't answer this question today, you won't be able to eat!"

ah?

The students' expressions tensed when they heard this, and they secretly complained in their hearts.

I clearly didn't mention this question yesterday, so how did it almost get fed to me?
