Chapter 145 The Candidates Are Confused! What Test Question Is This?
Chapter 145 The candidates are confused! What kind of test question is this?
February.
It's cold in spring.
In all counties of the Ming Dynasty, well-equipped soldiers stood guard around the examination room.
A group of children wearing thick clothes had gathered outside the "Dragon Gate" in the north of the examination room. They were standing, waiting to enter the examination room.
"I don't know which scholar will give the exam questions this year."
"I'm afraid it's not Lord Liu Sanwu."
"Isn't it Ye Xuan who is the most trusted by the Emperor now? Is it possible that he is the one who proposes the question?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"I've heard that Ye Xuan's questions are extremely difficult, even those who hold the exams and tributes have to scream. We are just children and cannot face such difficult questions."
"It makes sense. If it weren't for Ye Xuan, I would be sure."
"I will definitely pass the county exam this year!"
"I have been preparing for this day for a long time, and I will never fail again!"
The candidates all looked at the dragon gate, clenched their "947" fists, and their faces were full of determination to win.
Among this group of candidates, most were children in their late teens, but there were also a few in their late teens and early 80s, and their faces showed anticipation and excitement.
Xie Jin stood among this group of people, his confidence flashing in his sleep.
Although he is still learning knowledge such as astronomy, geography, arithmetic, etc., if he is tested on the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, he will never lose to that group of peers, even those who are older than him, he will not lose.
He has been a child prodigy since he was a child.
Being held.
Before meeting Ye Xuan, I never knew what losing was.
A pure winner in life.
The county examination will not be too difficult.
And with Xie Jin's talent, passing the county examination is almost a sure thing.
"After the county examination, there are the government examination and the hospital examination, and then you can become a student member, that is, a scholar. Next is the township examination. If you pass the township examination, you can become a juren, and then there is the meeting examination and the palace examination.
"The provincial examination and previous examinations will not be too difficult."
"There will still be some time before the trial."
"I want to be proficient in astronomy, geography, arithmetic and other contents... However, I didn't expect that the knowledge of astronomy, geography, arithmetic and so on is so difficult. It is completely different from the Four Books and Five Classics... The Four Books and Five Classics only need to be memorized and fully understood. "Although you need to be able to memorize some knowledge about astronomy, geography, and arithmetic, you also need to be able to apply it flexibly, which is really a headache."
Xie Jin couldn't help but frown when he thought of that knowledge.
He felt that he must not have any talent in subjects such as astronomy, geography, arithmetic, etc., because when he saw those numbers and scientific logic, he felt a little headache.
Maybe this is because God gave him a door and then closed another door for him.
"No matter how."
"I have to work hard."
"Ye Xuan can learn that knowledge and apply it so skillfully, so naturally I can't lose."
“The exams before the general exam are not important.
"My goal is to be able to try."
"The Imperial Examination."
"And the number one scholar in the first class!"
Xie Jin raised his youthful face, full of confidence and defiance.
"Get ready to enter the examination room!"
"All candidates, line up!"
shouted the soldiers guarding outside Longmen.
They maintain order.
When the candidates heard that they could enter the examination room, a large group of people quickly lined up in several lines.
County examinations are generally presided over by the county magistrate and serve as the examiner.
The examination will be invigilated by the teachings and instructions of the Confucian Academy.
"Name."
"age.
"Hometown."
...
The teachings and teachings are facing the identity of the candidates.
"Souzi" searched the candidates' bodies.
Check to see if there is any entrainment on the body.
Then - let go.
The "Souzi" search was very strict, even the inner layers of clothes were searched.
Compared with examinations such as the county examination.
The search for the master's degree is relatively lenient.
After all, those who participated in the examination were all Juren, and some even had official status. They did not dare to go too far. The body search was just for the purpose. It was a procedural search and the Juren were given great respect.
But the county exam is different.
Those who participated in the first county examination of the Tongsheng Examination were all ordinary people without official status. They could search their bodies without any scruples, and because they were afraid of fraud in the imperial examination, they searched them very strictly.
"Okay, let's go in.
"Next!"
While Xie Jin was waiting in line, he was thinking about Tong Sheng's first county exam.
"I don't know if Ye Xuan will participate in this imperial examination."
"However, since he is so favored by the emperor, and the questions asked are so difficult, he should be able to ask questions in the general examination or the imperial examination, right?"
"I don't know if I can meet Ye Xuan to ask questions in the Imperial Examination."
"If Ye Xuan asks the question..."
Xie Jin's body trembled.
His mood was a mixture of excitement and fear.
On the one hand, he wanted to understand Ye Xuan's questions, but on the other hand, he was worried that he would not be able to answer Ye Xuan's questions.
After all, the questions Ye Xuan asked also included questions on astronomy, geography, arithmetic and other aspects. To be honest, he is not very good at these questions at the moment.
What he is good at is the Four Books and Five Classics…………
"Okay, let's go in."
"Souzi" said after searching Xie Jin.
Xie Jin received his number plate and entered the examination room.
The same goes for other candidates.
Among this group of candidates, many are children in their twenties, with immature faces and clear and ignorant eyes. Most of these people are taking the imperial examination for the first time.
However.
They did not expect that they would encounter the nightmare-like imperial examination next, which would become a shadow that would follow them throughout their lives.
Until decades later, when this generation of candidates, who are already old and weather-beaten, recalling this imperial examination, they will have child-like helpless fear on their faces, as if they have encountered the most terrifying thing in the world.
They described this imperial examination as a physical and mental torture, and Ye Xuan was simply a devil. If they could do it over again, they would never take part in this imperial examination. Even if they had to postpone the examination for three years, they would be willing. At least you don't have to experience the physical and mental torture of that demon.
After all candidates enter the examination room, the examination room is closed.
In each cubicle, after the candidates cleaned the dusty cubicles, the exam was about to begin.
"Zhang San!"
the magistrate shouted.
The candidate named Zhang San stepped forward to receive his paper.
"Which village student will be the guarantor?"
the magistrate asked.
Zhang San answered honestly.
The magistrate confirmed it was correct.
Send him the test paper.
"Next!"
"Li Gui!"
"Which village student vouched for you?"
The magistrate kept confirming.
The magistrate was assisted by teachings and instructions.
The test papers were handed out in an orderly manner.
"Next!" 5.9
After the candidates got the test papers, they returned to the cubicle. They did not open the sealed test papers immediately. Instead, they had to wait until the exam started before they could open the sealed test papers and check the contents inside.
Otherwise, it will be treated as cheating.
All test papers have been distributed.
It's almost time for the exam.
"clang--!"
!"
The bell rang for the start of the exam, and the candidates opened the sealed test papers in unison, and rustling sounds kept ringing in the examination room [The contents of the test papers gradually came into view.
There is only one question.
Before they could raise a smile, they saw the title clearly, and then their expressions froze.
His eyes gradually widened.
The mouth also kept opening wide.
They were dumbfounded and excited.
