Yujin, this exam quiz dealer is a con man
He fooled many royal youths recently
His so called quiz info are totally fake
What quiz dealer?
Ye Zhao
stop pretending you are some man of honour
Let me tell you
stop eavesdropping on conversation like you have privileges
stop following me like a sticky soft nougat
I hate you..
now I hate you very much
Don't get mad, Lord
General Ye reported the case to us this afternoon
said three of you volunteered to serve as bait
in fact, lure the crook dealer her to catch him
Right..right..right.
we knew he's a con man
we are risking our lives to lure him to this place, right?
Lord, many thanks. Take them away. -go.. go..
con man
And you called us thieves..
Quiz info..quiz info..
This year's Policy essay topic
When your mother and concubine, both fall in the Bian Liang River at the same time
Who will you save first?
Save mother first.
definitely a liar
Save concubine first
that's not right either
not right, not right, not right
money
also not right
Concubine... Mother...
EH! my MONEY!
Eh! Brother Guo, Who will you save first?
Yu Jin
the so called poetry, prose, song,
is just a type of literature. Its a way for normal people to sing
and release feelings
sentences can be long or short
like a persons sigh
but, adding words and making sentences
are not my strengths
In Duke's life, is there anything worth you to admire/compliment?
sigh in regret/ pity? be jealous of?
Maybe even become crazy for?
There doesn't seem to be anything like that
Then try brainstorming. In your life,
Has a woman you have never seen/met before appeared?
Her body stands tall and straight. Poise is distinct
Like the snow from Yan Mountain blowing on to Zuan Yuan Terrace (I'm not sure what this means...)
You are attracted by her insolent/unrestrained laughter
Controlled and released repeatedly
You are unable to safely place your inner passions (not sure how to translate it)
It pulls up strange feelings like a tsunami
Wind comes from all four directions,
night rain comes
the sky's light is honorably white
Startles the heart of a bird
This is a way to describe feelings
If you are able to take this feeling and say it out loud
Completely project your inner heart/ feelinggs
How would you describe that?
Hateful, angrily chew all bamboo (I'm not sure how to translate this either... sorry guys ancient poetry...)
Resentment blows and breaks the Feng Huang bridge
Remember
The key to using words
are selfish/ self centered,
worldly/ material world, structure
Is the broadcast of individual thinking and unique attraction.
Missing/ longing is no use
Infatuation like a river
words are mad
Seeing her, you are irritated. When separated from her, you miss her. One more sentence.
it would be perfect
What is thin luck, velvet clothed gentleman
Inches close,
we both make fun of each other
Congratulations, Duke
You know how to write poetry now
Really?
I know how to write poetry now!
This... This is great!
I must write this down.
Royal brother, this time, must be able to get on the list of those who passed Imperial Exam
How was the preparation?
You are being humble!
you are being polite!
Rest here first
The time has come. All exam writers please enter in orderly fashion
Duke, please (ie go)
In order to get the best talents
we especially tailored this.
As long as the person meets the requirement, they can all receive
a position (not sure translation).
Enjoy a salary for life
Each exam writer must diligently respect and obey the rules of the examination
Cannot trade answers
Cross heads and connect ears. (ie speak with each other)
Those who disobey, will all be reported to the Emperor and wait for his punishment
The time has come. Each exam writer, please
open the exam and answer questions.
Exam writers, pay attention to your looks (ie how you look to others in terms of etiquette)
do not look around (left and right)
forward and back
Hai Wei Ning
has already started leading the Mi Ge and promoted to the middle examiner.
This person makes no sound.
Holds secrets in his stomach and understands the thoughts of the Emperor
His actions are hard to guess.
Yes. He is unlike us. He only knows to work
When Hai works, he is serious and level headed
The Emperor favors and wants to promote him
The world of the officals is deep. (ie sketchy)
Hai is only a small player
That Minister Fan
is a REAL big player
Isnt it true? Minister Fan just came back from the Lu Zhou to the capitol
and is already promoted by the Emperor as a Middle Minister (not sure of position in English)
He has a clear and nice path ahead of him
Last Imperial Exam, Minister Fan and us
read the exams together here.
Now, he is able to
speak directly with the Emperor!
Minister Fan's political career will not stop here.
Work hard. If you work hard
Minister Fan will know. (ie keep you in mind) Maybe one day, he will promote us.
In a couple of years, i should retire.
And enjoy the joys of being with my grandchildren
These political ambitions, I should leave with you young people
Haha, you are being humble. we dare not.
What are you talking about so happily?
Good morning, Minister Fan
Everybody Take a seat
yes
The Emperor is taking this Imperial Exam very seriously. .
Everyone must use the utmost care in reading the exams and be strict on marking.
Don't let a person with no talent in
and don't leave out a talented person
Send essays with good points immediately to me for reading
yes
Minister Fan
I have, here, an exam writer
with great talent
Send it over
Minister Fan please look over it
Oh. You can take your leave now.
Liu Yong?
Liu Yong really is a rare talent
Liu Yong?
If my memory serves me right, this must be his third time writing the Imperial Exam
All he knows how to do is laze about in the prostitute houses.
This person is not good to use.
Liu Yongs lifestyle is free and unrestrained
but he definitely is a rare talent
It is because he didn't pass the Imperial Exam multiple times, that he would become so unrestrained and crazy
Please consider again, your majesty
IF someone like Liu Ying becomes an official, how is he going to abide by rules, etiquette
and become a role models for others
He will only increase bad habits in the population
And make the images of officials look bad
He will affect others negatively.
Emperor!
Minister Fan
Is there anything else you need to say?
I
Minister Fan
I left you completely in charge of the Imperial Exams
is so that you can help the kingdom choose useful talents
and not to choose people based on your own preferences
Do you understand?
I understand
The Ministry is busy and complicated
Reform has not been completely started in motion
There are many things waiting for you to do.
Don't lose something big over something small like Liu Yong.
The stage of the court should be left to those
who truly have talent and intellegence
and not left to those who have a bit of talent,
but have more problems that outweigh the talent
They do 30% of work,
but i have to use a large amount of effort to fix the remaining 70% of work
How can this type of person become an official of this kingdom?
Of course
Weird Talents, strange talents, like Liu Yong
I don't just on sidedly dislike
At this moment, there are many things occurring, and I cannot take care of weird talents.
Once the inner and outer parts of the court are settled (ie no more power struggles and reform is done), I will give them opportunities.
Emperor is wise and generous
I have been narrow minded
Minister Fan
Quickly work on the reform
This is my handwritten order. Be unrestrained in fulfilling it.
Your servant will follow the order.
I will take my leave
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
