Hearing Zhao Wenhua’s enquiry, Zhu Pingan was also a little taken aback, just now when the previous benevolent brother, you only let him recite a section of the Spring and Autumn Annals. Despite his surprise, Zhu Pingan still adjusted his state at the first time, his brain worked quickly and responded with equanimity.
Zhao Wenhua asked this topic from the “Mengzi Li Lou next”: “The gift of non-rituals, non-righteousness, adults do not do.”
The topic of the rites of non-rituals, this topic emphasised not the rites, but the rites of non-rituals. When answering, one must distinguish between the real rites and the rites of non-rituals, so that one really understands the topic, and one really understands Mencius.
Zhu Pingan quickly grasped the gist of the topic, and almost immediately after Zhao Wenhua’s words fell but a few seconds later, he blandly replied:
“The people of the ancient world used to be polite, and I must go by it today, is not necessarily in line with the ancient rituals; the people of the ancient world used to be righteous, and I must go by it today, is not necessarily in line with the ancient righteousness.”
Zhu Pingan chose the perspective of time, starting from the difference between ancient and modern rituals and righteousness, pointing out that the ancients believe that the things that are in line with the rituals and righteousness, and the people still follow the copy, it may not be in line with the rituals and righteousness, and may become a non-ritual rituals, non-righteousness of the righteousness.
According to the eight-legged essay’s broken answer, when answering for this non-righteousness, you can only answer for this sentence, you can’t extend it, and the most taboo is to answer for the next non-righteousness of this sentence together. The reason why Zhu Pingan answered this sentence as well was because rites and righteousness were too closely linked and inseparable, so he answered one and the other together, which also had a precedent in the eight-legged essay.
After finishing the first sentence, Zhu Pingan continued to answer again with hardly a pause:
“Mencius said: ‘If it is not a rite of passage, if it is not a righteousness, the lord shall not do it.’ It is also said that the signs are the same but the reality is different. If a man marries his wife and worships her from day to day, he is also a man who does not honour the rites of etiquette. The righteousness of non-righteousness is to take revenge by means of intercourse. If a man marries his wife and worships her in the morning and in the evening, and takes revenge by means of intercourse, which the middleman does not do, can he not do it after he has become an adult? The cover also loses the meaning of Mencius.”
“The late student’s humble opinion. I hope your honour will not begrudge me correction.”
Zhu Pingan succinctly and concisely finished his answer to the impolite gift, arched his hand, and spoke respectfully.
“Great goodness.” An instructor next to him, after Zhu Pingan finished his reply, one did not hold back. With an excited face, he said.
After saying this, this instructor realised that he had been presumptuous and arched his hand to confess to Zhao Wenhua.
“There’s no harm, the good writing is appreciated in common.” Zhao Wenhua waved his hand in a disinterested manner.
After Zhao Wenhua comforted his subordinates. Then he stroked his beard and spoke to Zhu Pingan, “You can get up and speak.”
“Many thanks, my lord.” Zhu Pingan got up and arched his hand to thank him.
“Ritual starts with righteousness, righteousness is the reason why rituals are not even, see for yourself. The talk of power and change also has unique insights. God is complete and full of energy, very much in my heart.” Zhao Wenhua was very satisfied with Zhu Pingan’s answer, stroking his beard and commenting.
“It’s all because Your Excellency is a good inspector.” Zhu Pingan said against his will.
Although this guy was a traitor, but after all, at this time, he still held the lifeblood of his own imperial examinations, and Zhu Pingan was not a pedantic person. When to say what words or understand. Do people, outside the round inside some good, as long as the heart to adhere to the bottom line, adhere to the principle, outside the mellow some easier to go forward.
The so-called: and if the spring breeze, solemn as autumn frost, take the image of the money, outside the round inside square.
Zhu Pingan this sentence is still quite effective, at least finished, Zhao Wenhua look at Zhu Pingan’s eyes immediately warmed up a lot.
“Why is this official supervise the school square, are the credit of His Holiness, you can keep in mind. Go back to prepare for the examination of Enke, do not be ashamed of the holy emperor’s great kindness.”
Zhao Wenhua corrected the error in Zhu Pingan’s words just now in a serious manner. However, with a smile in his eyes, after correcting Zhu Pingan’s mistakes in a serious manner, he turned his tone and exhorted Zhu Pingan to prepare for the Enke Examination in a serious manner with the style of an elder.
Preparing for the Enke examination hey. I can hear the song and know the meaning of elegance.
Zhu Ping An’s face was happy, arching his hand and saying, “I respect Your Excellency’s teachings.”
Zhao Wenhua nodded his head and took the brush to drop a comment on Zhu Pingan’s test paper:
“Essence of reasoning for the text, and showyness for the colourfulness;
Qinghua Langrun, very different from the floating clamour;
The second text is heartfelt. The words and meaning are both beautiful. The reply in front of the stage is externally pushed and internally researched, and the body is large and the thoughts are refined. It should be the first class.”
A class on the steady through the examination, can participate in the Enke township examination, a class on the natural more needless to say.
Zhu Pingan arched his hand and thanked Zhao Wenhua, then in the small official’s lead down to the stage, only to see that at this time standing under the stage waiting for the fat Xue Chi. This buddy stood there thighs are still shaking it, a fat face serious not, see Zhu Pingan down, that fat face smile with crying.
Zhu Pingan used his eyes to encourage the bast*rd, then led by the small official to the gate.
There are now eight people at the gate, plus their own nine, and then wait for the fat man to finish handing over the rolls will probably be released.
Zhu Pingan waited at the gate for about less than ten minutes, the fat guy in the small official’s lead, bumbling to come, a fat face happy with the bulldog like. Walking that posture, the whole person is almost flying.
In the way of the examination rules, even waiting for the release can not speak, but the fat man this goods standing in Zhu Pingan side, grinning fat face, squeezing eyebrows.
No need to look, know that this goods successfully passed.
Sure enough, Zhao Wenhua is still the Zhao Wenhua of history, no matter how well he does on the surface, he can’t hide his treacherous nature.
When Fatty arrived, the number of students waiting at the entrance to be released reached ten. Near the door of the instructor counted the number of people, reported to the high platform, and then the gong sounded, the gate fence slowly opened, the door order to have the instructor according to the roll record, one by one compared to the identity of the release.
Out of the door, the fat man will be mysteriously pulling Zhu Pingan to a remote and uninhabited place, bear paw like a big hand to Zhu Pingan shoulder pat, grinning like a bulldog mouth, happy upside down emotionally:
“Brother Zhu you are a real god, first class on ah, hahaha, now see what my old man can still say, hahaha.”
“Your sister, lighten up!” Zhu Pingan sucked in a breath of cool air and rubbed his shoulders.
“Oh oh, sorry sorry sorry, when I think of my old dad’s stinky face, I couldn’t hold back.” Fatty apologised with a fat grin as an afterthought.
“Brother Zhu, how many ranks are you, surely you’re also on the first rank.” It was only at this time that Fatty remembered to ask how Zhu Pingan did on the exam.
Zhu Pingan shook his head.
The fat man was shocked and shook his fat face repeatedly, “Impossible, you must be joking right.”
Zhu Pingan shook his head in a serious manner, “Didn’t lie to you.”
The fat man mumbled as if he had been struck by lightning, “How could this be, with Brother Zhu’s talent, how could it be possible that he is not a first class top?”
“I have one more ‘upper’ than you.” Zhu Pingan spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the fat man’s chubby face became a look of bitterness and hatred, “Master Fatty, I’m not even as good as you when I give it away!”
“Be content you.”
Zhu Pingan was quite displeased with the fat man’s behaviour.
“Also.” Fatty thought about it and turned into that bulldog look again, “Although the list has not been announced, but you and I brothers are stable, go, brother treat, let’s go to the other side of the river, ah, no, it’s this side of the tavern not to get drunk!
