Chapter 241 The College Examination Is About To Begin! The Last Hurdle For The Imperial Examination
Chapter 241 The college examination is about to begin! The last hurdle for the imperial examination for talents!
When Zhu Yuanzhang implemented these strategies, the academic examination also followed.
The academy examination is the last stage of the scholar examination.
As long as you pass this level, you are a scholar.
This is also the first step in the imperial examination.
Under normal circumstances, it is easy to pass the exam to be a scholar. Only if you pass the exam can you be selected to be an official.
However, since Ye Xuan took charge of the imperial examination, this imperial examination has changed a bit.
We were just preparing to take the scholar examination, but the candidates were already exhausted mentally and physically.
I finally got through the first two exams.
Obtained childbirth qualification.
Now, the college examination is coming again.
All the candidates were in disbelief.
Why does the college exam come so quickly!
They are not ready yet!
Damn it!
What weird questions will Ye Xuan come up with this time?
Each candidate's situation at this time is different.
But when they faced the imperial examination, there was already a shadow.
Ma family.
Ma Yingjun was only eighteen years old, and his father and relatives were all officials.
My father is the chief bookkeeper under the county magistrate.
Relatives are only minor officials.
Although his official position is not high.
But he is an official after all.
Ma Yingjun barely came from an official family. 17
The fathers had ardent expectations for Ma Yingjun, who was excellent in talent and learning. They hoped that Ma Yingjun would be able to make a splash in the imperial examination. At the worst, he would have to pass the provincial examination to become a civil servant, or pass the joint examination or the palace examination, become the number one scholar, and win the appreciation of the emperor. , Guangzong Yaozu.
Ma Yingjun also believed that with his talent and learning, he could easily pass the imperial examination.
Who would have thought that I would encounter such a weird examiner giving the question.
The questions Ye Xuan asked were difficult and weird.
It simply overturned his eighteen years of knowledge and outlook.
Damn it!
Is this an imperial examination?
This is torture!!
Dong Dong……
There was a knock on the study door.
"Youngjun, do you want to come in now?"
Father Ma's strong voice came from outside.
Ma Yingjun, who was working hard to study law for the college examination, looked up at the door and said in a hoarse voice, "Come in."
Crunch——
The door was pushed open.
Father Ma walked in with his hands behind his back.
He looked around the study room.
Then his eyes fell on Ma Yingjun's desk. The things on the desk were very messy. There were stacks of papers filled with words and various books stacked aside.
Father Ma was very eager to learn from Ma Yingjun. He nodded secretly and then said:
"The college examination is coming soon. As long as you pass the college examination, you will be a scholar."
"This is the first step in the imperial examination."
"With your talent and learning, you should be able to pass easily."
"Father, I believe in you."
"Your uncles believe in you too."
"I believe you can definitely make our Ma family proud of our ancestors."
"Youngjun, you have to work hard."
"In our generation, your talents will be the last to learn."
"Those cousins of yours are not as good as you."
"I don't know why.
"Their usual talents and learning look good."
"Who would have expected that not even a child student has passed the exam."
31:......
He opened his mouth, and his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat.
Ma Yingjun felt that it was not that his cousins were not good enough, but that the questions in this imperial examination were too abnormal.
If you are not proficient in Tongtian's culture, geography, arithmetic, law and other content.
It will be filtered out in minutes.
Father Ma encouraged Xia Ma Yingjun, and then expressed his trust in him, thinking that he would be able to pass the imperial examination easily, and left.
Ma Yingjun looked at his father's leaving figure and was quite speechless.
This imperial examination is so difficult.
He might have to live up to the expectations of Father Ma and all his uncles.
It's not that he can't.
But this imperial examination is really too difficult.
Ma Yingjun felt envious when he thought of his cousins who had failed the exam.
"If I also fail the exam, I won't have to continue suffering."
"well
"Just try harder."
"The college examination may be easier, but there's no guarantee I'll pass."
With a heavy sigh, Ma Yingjun could only continue to endure the hot weather and continue to learn the knowledge about the law Dharma Body.
Inside the temple.
The poisonous smell of smoke filled the air was very strong. 【013004517 Feilu 151401291】
clang--!
clang!
The deep ringing of the bell sounded from time to time.
Common people in ordinary clothes and rich ladies in luxurious clothes came in and out.
"Brother Zhou, why did you bring me here?"
Sun Hao, wearing patchwork clothes and a childish face, looked at the person in front of him in confusion.
The person in front of him has white beard and hair. He looks quite old, and his clothes have many patches.
He is Zhou Jin.
"Brother Sun, the college examination is coming soon."
“We burn a stick of incense at Buddha Ancestor, or being in Buddha Ancestor can help us pass the entrance examination.
Zhou Jin said with a red face.
Sun Hao frowned slightly.
"The son is silent and his strange power confuses the gods."
"If the gods and Buddhas in the sky can really bless us to pass the imperial examination, why can't they bless those scholars who failed to pass the imperial examination? This kind of praying to gods and Buddhas is of no use at all.
"Instead of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, it is better to study hard and be more useful.
Sun Hao's face was serious.
"Brother Zhou, let's go."
He pulled Zhou Jin to leave.
"Hey, wait, wait, even if it's useless to worship the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, I still want to worship for peace of mind. Brother Sun, we are all here anyway, why don't we worship again?
Zhou Jin grabbed Sun Hao's wrist with his backhand and led him into the temple.
The Buddha statues in the temple are majestic.
Smoke curls filled the air.
The sound of monks knocking on sutras and chanting Buddha's name could be heard from the side.
Zhou Jin bought two sticks of incense and handed one to Sun Hao. Then he knelt on the Meditation Mat in front of him and murmured to himself:
"I hope Buddha Ancestor will bless me to pass the college examination and become a housing group."
"If I become a scholar, I will definitely donate more incense money...
Sun Hao looked at Zhou Jin, who was kneeling with Buddha Ancestor and had a pious face. He felt a little helpless and could only imitate him and kneel down. 860 He does not think that praying to gods and Buddhas is useful.
If praying to gods and Buddhas was useful, his family would not be so poor.
After finishing cramming, Zhou Jin also put a few pennies into the donation box.
Sun Hao:…………
He always felt that it would be better to use the money to worship Buddha than to buy steamed buns to cushion his stomach.
"Let's go."
After worshiping the gods and Buddhas, Zhou Jin felt refreshed and left with Sun Hao.
"I am so sincere, those gods and Buddhas in the sky will definitely bless me to pass the college examination."
"I think you might as well ask gods and Buddhas to make Ye Xuan's questions less difficult.
Sun Hao complained.
Zhou Jin froze.
Then suddenly.
"Why am I so stupid."
"I didn't expect this."
"If I pray to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky to make Ye Xuan's examination questions less difficult, let alone the college examination, the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination.
Zhou Jin regretted it.
Sun Hao:
He is just joking, does he need to be so serious?
Seeing that Zhou Jin was about to go back to pay homage again, he quickly stopped him and persuaded him:
“The number of people who passed the last government examination was nearly four levels lower than in previous years.
"The topic Ye Xuan will choose this time will definitely be simpler."
"Even if you don't pray to God or Buddha, Ye Xuan will definitely make the questions less difficult.
"real?"
Zhou Jin looked at him cautiously.
Sun Hao nodded bravely.
He felt that if the difficulty of Ye Xuan's test questions was not reduced, all of them would really fail. .
