    On July 28th, the autumn wind was cool and the weather was fine.  Early in the morning, people were already crowded from East College Street to the school gate. The first people to gather were not the scholars, but the vendors selling fruits, liqueurs, and snacks. The vendors were the prophets of Chunjiang Plumbing Duck.  They rushed wherever there was excitement - One after another, the students who had taken the provincial examination arrived, and many students who had not qualified for the provincial examination also came. They wanted to see if the famous Zeng Yu could pass the examination;  The children in Nanchang City also came. The story of Zeng Yu¡¯s make-up examination was very inspiring. They came to understand how Zeng Yu successfully passed the make-up examination and entered school. It didn¡¯t matter if he took another exam - At the beginning of Chenshi, from the White Horse Temple  The square was already packed from the beginning to the school office. When Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi arrived, they were so crowded that it was difficult to move forward. Zeng Yu raised his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, please give way. Give way."  Give way, otherwise you will miss my exam. "Zheng Shi said loudly: "This is Zeng Xiucai of Guangxin Prefecture. Please give way, don't delay his exam, otherwise there will be no excitement. "  He made a "wow" sound and quickly made way for a three-foot clearing. Zeng Yu walked between the two human walls. He smiled and listened to the crowd of onlookers commenting on him, praising and ridiculing him.  One day, Zeng Yu was unmoved. When he was approaching the school, he heard someone shouting "Mr. Zeng". He turned around and looked around, but it was Yan Shaoqing who was escorted by several strong servants to cheer him on - Zeng Yu smiled and said,  He waved and strode past, came to the main gate of the school, held hands with Zheng Shi and others, and walked up the steps alone. At this time, two people walked out of the door. The first one was as thin as a bamboo pole, with a neck like a goose, and called out: "  Zeng Sheng¡ª¡ª" When Zeng Yu raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Guangtang, a professor of Guangxin Fu School. The man behind Zhang Guangtang was Li Jiaoyu of Yongfeng County School. He hurried forward to greet him. Professor Zhang's slender neck was twisting and turning.  With a helpless look, he said: "Li Sixun and I arrived in the provincial capital yesterday. We were surprised when we heard about the assessment you were going to take. We asked Mr. Huang to find out what happened. Alas, don't be angry, let alone  Don't panic, it will be easy to pass the exam with your current knowledge." Li Jiaoyu from Yongfeng County also comforted Zeng Yu, and Zeng Yu was quite moved.   The Yamen of the Jiangxi Procuratorate¡¯s Office is located on Xueyuan Street in the west of Nanchang City, less than half a mile away from the school. The noise of hawking and calling for friends from the school¡¯s side reaches the Procuratorate¡¯s side and turns into a hustle and bustle.  There was a loud and dense sound of "buzzing". Wang Zongmu, the inspector who was about to get on the sedan and go out, frowned and asked the officer beside the sedan what was the noise?  The officer bowed and said, "Sir, the people at the school are watching the fun. I heard that a scholar named Zeng is going to be tested today, so they gathered early." Wang Zongmu muttered: "What's the excitement about testing a scholar  Looks good!" Suddenly one person said: "Brother Xinfu, this Zeng Xiucai is not an ordinary scholar. He is the Western Secretary of the Yan Mansion, the Eastern Bed of Daozong, and has a legendary experience in suppressing bandits. I dare not say that he is famous all over the world. In Jiangxi,  There are really not many people who don't know Zeng Yu's name. "The person who spoke was dressed like snow and walked quickly from the mansion to Wang Zongmu. This white-robed guest had a seat with Zeng Yu at the White Horse Temple that day.  After talking to the mysterious guest, Zeng Yu said nothing and walked away. Bai Paoke and his two servants also left the Baima Temple and moved into the Yamen of the Inspector General's Office. They became the guests of the Inspector Wang Zongmu - Wang Zongmu smiled.  Laughing, he said: "Judging from the two eight-part essays and the letter that Huang Tixue sent, Zeng Yu is good at ancient Chinese diction, has considerable skills, and has a broad mind. There is nothing wrong with Huang Tixue allowing him to take the supplementary examination and enter the school.  "But Bai Paoke said: "This matter is not about the quality of the article, but a dispute between loyalty and traitor." A middle-aged man with a rank of seventh-grade civil servant came forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Fengzhou is absolutely right.  Identifying traitors is the top priority, and writing eight-legged essays is the last skill. "Wang Zongmu said: "Zeng Yu is not deeply involved in the world, and his relationship with Fenyi is shallow. Although his membership qualifications have been asked to be reviewed, no one has done anything for him.  Intercede, except for Huang Tixue." Bai Pao Ke was silent.  The seventh-rank official said: "Perhaps things were in a hurry and they didn't have time to arrange things." Wang Zongmu waved his hand, indicating not to talk about those things, and said: "Stop talking, get on the sedan, get on the sedan, the Zongchen time is approaching.  "I asked the Bai Pao Ke again: "Fengzhou, are you going together?" Bai Pao Ke said, "I'm not going into the academy, so I'll just join the crowd and watch the fun." Paijun shouted, with a solemn and powerful voice, and ordered Wang Zongmu and his party to follow.  When they arrived at the school, Huang Guoqing, the deputy academic envoy, had already been waiting outside the ceremony gate. A scholar next to Huang Guoqing, a scholar in a square scarf and a t-shirt, saluted Wang Zongmu and said, "Student Zeng Yu pays homage to Mr. Wang." Wang Zongmu looked at Zeng Yu, which seemed a little bit  He looked familiar and asked, "You are Zeng Yu. Have you ever gone to Lushan Bailudong Academy to listen to my lectures before?"?Three years ago, Wang Zongmu was appointed as the Deputy Envoy of Daoti School in Jiangxi. He built Wang Yangming Temple, reopened Bailuzhu Academy and personally conducted lectures. At that time, many students from various prefectures and counties in Jiangxi came to attend the lectures.  Zeng Yu said: "In the autumn of the 38th year of Jiajing reign, students went to Bailu Cave to listen to lectures. Huang Tixue was the host at that time." Wang Zongmu said "oh" and thought to himself, why did he think Zeng Yu looked familiar? He must have remembered it wrongly.  He said, "Do you have any complaints about the assessment required by this department?" Zeng Yudao: "Sir Wang, it was the student who petitioned for re-assessment. For the sake of Huang Tixue's reputation and the student's innocence, as long as the assessment is  "Fair, impartial and open, students should not be afraid of assessment." Zeng Yu appears to be gentle and elegant, but his tone of voice gradually becomes frenzied.  Wang Zongmu was a little unhappy, Zeng Yu's words were thorny, but Huang Xuezheng was just beside him, so he couldn't say much. This assessment was originally based on unknown teachers. Huang Xuezheng was opposed to this assessment and said: "This assessment is still conducted by  Huang Tixue presided over, this department is only for supervision, the imperial examination is an important weapon of the country, how can we not be cautious? "The other three officials who supervise the assessment also arrived, namely Lin Yushi of Nanjing and Liu Yushi of Jiangxi Province.  , Guo Tuiguan of Yuanzhou Prefecture, after meeting Wang Zongmu and Huang Guoqing, went to the Minglun Hall of the Academy to sit down together. Zeng Yu also followed him to the hall, stood respectfully aside, looked at the inspectors, and thought: "This Nanjing  The censor Lin who came here should be Lin Run, the former magistrate of Linchuan County. He is a family friend of Mr. Xie Zhen. Mr. Xie was in Linchuan last year to help me take the make-up exam. It was Huang Tixue who I met only after I asked Magistrate Lin to recommend him.  Unexpectedly, times have changed and Lin Zhixian has become Lin Yushi, but he wants to examine me. It is really ridiculous." He also thought: "When I heard that Lin Runfu was appointed as Yushi, I violently impeached Yan Shifan's best friend Yan Maoqing, and now I want to use it.  When I make trouble, the officialdom is really in turmoil." The school office clerk brought a small square table and a chair. On the table were placed pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Everything was ready, just waiting for the exam.  Wang Zongmu said to Huang Guoqing: "Master Huang, let's come up with the question now." Huang Guoqing said: "It's better for Master Wang to come up with the question. Master Wang is also an academic officer." There were some things that Huang Tixue didn't say clearly, and Wang Zongmu also felt embarrassed.  He coughed and said: "Then pick up the book and decide the question." To pick up the book and set the question is to flip through the book at will. When you turn to the page, you will find a sentence on that page to do the test question. This is very common in the imperial examination.  This is to prevent examiners from leaking test questions.  Huang Tixue said: "Should we test small questions or classic questions? Or should we test both?" Wang Zongmu said: "Just test small questions, limited to one and a half hours, how about?" Huang Tixue said: "But with Wang  The scribe held up the four books, and Wang Zongmu picked up the volume of Analects and said, "Here's the Analects question." When he was about to turn over the book, he suddenly looked up at the door and said with a frown, "Quiet, please be quiet."  The Lun Hall is facing the Yimen. The distance between the Yimen and the main gate is only ten feet. Although the noisy noise of thousands of people outside the gate does not affect the officials in the hall, the "buzzing" sound is still annoying, so some guards  He ran out to shout and ordered everyone to stop making noise - When it was quiet outside the hall, Wang Zongmu turned over the book and came up with the title. He flipped it casually and found it was "The Fifteenth Anniversary of Duke Linggong of Wei", and then said to Zeng Yu: "Zeng Sheng, you use the title of 'All Evils'"  Write an eight-legged essay with the title "Everything that is evil must be examined", the complete sentence is "Everything that is evil must be examined; everyone who is good must be examined",  It means that even if everyone hates a person, you can¡¯t just follow everyone else¡¯s opinions and you must personally examine whether this person is really as hateful as everyone says; similarly, if everyone likes a person, you shouldn¡¯t follow the crowd either.  , you must have your own investigation, and you cannot believe what others say. Confucius is educating his disciples to have independent thinking and judgment, and not to be fooled by appearances - Zeng Yu said with a smile: "'Everything that is evil must be investigated.  "Yan; everyone who likes it will definitely check it." This test question is very good, and it can clearly explain the current situation of the students. After the students took the supplementary examination and entered the school, they made meritorious deeds by suppressing thieves and were rewarded by the court. They were praised by many parties. They can be said to be "the public  That's good, you gentlemen, when you assess students now, you must examine them. Can students not be vigilant and self-reflective?" Huang Tixue couldn't help laughing when he heard what Zeng Yu said.  Wang Zongmu's face turned slightly red and he felt a little ashamed, and said: "Then answer the questions quickly. It's just after the first hour of the day and the paper will be handed in at the beginning of noon." Zeng Yu is now very good at writing eight-part essays with small questions like this, and he is sharpening his ink.  While I was making the manuscript, the ink was thick with an inkstone. I already had the manuscript. I was not busy writing, but I said to the servant waiting on the side: "Please bring me a piece of paper. Don't cut it." The servant went to get a piece of paper.  Come on, this kind of uncut paper is more than five feet long and two feet wide. The paper is flexible and not easy to be damaged. Zeng Yu did not sit down, but stood at the edge of the table and waved his hand, writing on this paper.  , the characters are as big as pigeon eggs, usingIt was in the cursive style of Minangong, and it said, "All evil must be investigated." Wang Zongmu, Huang Guoqing and others sitting high in the hall could clearly see the writing on the paper, and couldn't help but wonder, wondering what Zeng Yu was doing?  I saw Zeng Yu writing two sentences, then stopping to think deeply. The two lines of writing on the paper were: "When it comes to people's likes and dislikes, they must be consistent with what they like. And the reason why this is the case is that the world sympathizes with good and evil.  , People may be hiding it from their private ears, so why not investigate it? " This is the theme of "All evil must be observed". Wang Zongmu, Lin Run and others looked at it carefully and remained calm, but Huang Tixue did not  Huang Tixue was a little worried that Zeng Yu was young and energetic and would be easily irritable when encountering setbacks, but after seeing these two sentences, he felt relieved.  And I was very pleased that Zeng Yu's well-written articles also helped him, Huang Guoqing, gain face.  After the title is the original title, that is, why the sage said the words in the title, Zeng Yu wrote: "The Master said to others, the good and evil in the world are easy to accuse, but the gentleman's view of the law is not strict." Huang Ti couldn't stop learning.  He nodded and thought to himself: "This is what I want to say for the sages." Then comes the beginning of the speech. The speech should be argumentative, which should be fictitious rather than practical. It should pay attention to correct principles, high ideas, and ancient Ci. Zeng Yu wrote: "This is  Is there anyone who behaves indifferently to others, who behaves indifferently to others, who lives in a country and is hated by the people of the country, and who stands in a country but is despised by the people of the country? Isn¡¯t that the kind of thing that everyone hates?  , everyone hates it, I am afraid that I cannot be impartial. " Wang Zongmu is also a famous eight-part essay. He has been a deputy assistant for three years and has read more than 100,000 eight-part essays. His eyesight is extraordinary, and he often knows when a candidate has failed a question.  The level has improved. Zeng Yu's eight-legged essay is perfect from the topic to the starting point. It can be passed down as a model essay. Wang Zongmu nodded secretly and said: "The turning point in the starting point is very wonderful. Let's see how he proposes the shares."  Seeing Zeng Yu thinking and writing at the same time, time passed slowly, and the writing on the big paper gradually became fuller. The main text of this eight-legged essay came out: "If you want to test the reality of his actions and the subtlety of his intentions, it is really abominable.  Yes, I have done something evil, otherwise I have not harmed him as a gentleman. Why should I be disobedient to the public? If I look at it, then the evil stems from the public and does not cover up private interests.  It must be the same as the popular custom. If you live in the country and are called by the people in the country, if you live in the country and the people of the country are virtuous, don't you like it?  It is necessary to observe where his intentions are and what his heart is happy with. If it is really good, then I will like it. Otherwise, how can I know that he is not a villain? If he is good and observes it, then it will be good.  It is for public purposes and not for private purposes. "Not to mention that Huang Tixue praised Zeng Yu in his heart, but Wang Zongmu, Lin Run and others also watched it attentively. Wang Zongmu almost clicked on the verses to praise. Zeng Yu's article closely followed the meaning of the title.  To discuss a person's "good and evil", one must clearly understand whether his or her original intention is public or private. There are two major comparisons in the text, and each comparison discusses something completely opposite. The intention is to be extraordinary and refined. It is a rare good article.  It took Zeng Yu about an hour to write almost completely on a large piece of paper. There were some slight corrections during the process, but the whole thing was still clean. Standing with his wrists hanging for so long while writing, it can be seen that Zeng Yu was young and healthy, and allowed the old and sick Huang Ti to learn from it.  I was so envious that I saw Zeng Yu finally writing: "Hey, those who favor others who like and dislike others will rarely lose themselves; those who like others and dislike others will never lose others. When the sage said this, isn't it a good way to understand people?" This is  The summary of the whole article, after writing the last sentence, Zeng Yu spread the large piece of paper on the ground in front of the table, and then took another roll of paper to write. This kind of roll of paper is the kind of test paper used in county examinations and government trials.  The boundary red line is a horizontal and vertical grid, which stipulates fourteen lines per page and eighteen characters per line. At this time, Mi Fu Xuansi's regular regular script cannot be used, and it is changed to strict regular script. This calligraphy must be used in field compositions. Zeng Yu's calligraphy  He studied calligraphy very diligently over the years. He learned from Wen Zhengming in small regular script. Wen Zhengming's small regular script was born out of Wang Xizhi's "Huang Ting Jing" and "Le Yi Tie". He used sharp edges to enter the paper, his brushwork was strong and elegant, and his structure was relaxed and relaxed. It had an influence at the time  Very big.  In less than half an hour, Zeng Yu transcribed the text on the large paper on a roll of paper. He also carefully wrote down his name, age, and place of origin. Then he handed the roll to the scribe next to him, who forwarded it to Huang.  Learn more.  Huang Tixue had read the entire text and knew it well, and said: "Submit it to Mr. Wang, who will judge the paper." Wang Zongmu took the scroll, glanced at the handwriting, and thought to himself: "The calligraphy is also good, it is true that I don't want to learn it.  You are an incompetent person." Wen Yan said: "Zeng Sheng, now that you have completed your answer sheet, please step aside." Zeng Yu had already known that there would be no comments on the spot, so he folded the paper he had drafted and put it in his sleeve.  In the middle, he bowed and said goodbye.  "Wait a minute." Lin Yushi on the side asked: "Zeng Sheng, what do you want to do with the draft?" During the imperial examination, in order to prepare for the survey paper, the draft must be handed in, but now it is not a formal examination, Zeng Yugeng  I'm disgusted with Lin Run's judgmental toneHe replied: "Thousands of students outside the gate are waiting to see the students' compositions. The students post them for everyone to see. This is called openness." Lin Run was about to propose the regulations to submit drafts for the imperial examination, Huang Tixue  He started by saying: "Zeng Sheng composed his essay in front of everyone. Does it still need to be checked and polished? How about letting students outside the school read this essay and see how everyone evaluates it?" Since Huang Tixue said this, Lin Run of course  It was hard to say anything more, I could only watch Zeng Yu striding out of the ceremony room with his draft.
