Chapter 14 The Government Examination

Prefectural exam

In the early morning, it was slightly white, the fog was still there, and the boat was slowly sailing in the river not far away, Pei Ziyun held a lantern and carried an examination basket to the examination room of the government examination. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"The seven counties of this prefecture, line up according to the county, no noise!" There were three muffled cannons faintly heard in the academy, and there were armor soldiers lined up, and some people shouted.

Daxu system, the county school is called the school, the government is called the college, the province is called the tribute institute, and the central government is called the school palace.

Changzhoufu College has its own system, the cold air is cold in the early morning, there are always seven roads under the starlight, all of which are blocked by wooden fences, and candidates are carrying examination baskets and waiting in line.

Pei Ziyun found his Jiangping County Gate, and saw a group of people standing in the dark, holding lanterns in their hands, and someone said, "Brother Pei, you are here!"

Pei Ziyun saw that the person who spoke was Tang Zhen, but the two children around Wang and Li snorted coldly and did not speak.

Pei Ziyun didn't think so, greeted Tang Zhen, and smiled at Wang and Li - a few days ago, these three people invited themselves to the Wenhui again, Pei Ziyun saw that the exam date was approaching, so he refused, Tang Zhen gave up, and the two of them held a grudge.

With such a mind and brain, it's no wonder that he can't show off his talents. Pei Ziyun remembered that the two of them still thought that Wenhui would get Xuezheng to leak a little topic, so he secretly scolded stupidity: "In this meeting, how can Xuezheng point out the summary of the government test, that is not to give people a handle, and it will become a shocking fraud case in the Kaichao Dynasty." ā€

At this moment, seeing that the two of them arched their hands and chatted for a few words, everyone was in no mood to speak, so they kept silent.

Da Xu system, the county examined children, the government examined Xiucai, and the provincial examiner, but it was different from Pei Ziyun's original world imperial examination, but this is normal, and it is strange that it is exactly the same.

Tong Sheng, not a meritorious name, there is no exemption from empowerment, so by the county order to lead the county to teach the examination, but Xiucai has a meritorious reputation, according to the Da Xu system, it is the prefect, the government Xuezheng (is the eighth product), and the people sent by the province form the main and deputy examiners to supervise, a government only takes thirty-three, which shows its difficulty.

"Puffy puff!" the drum sounded.

The fish door slowly opened.

The children entered the search room.

Pei Ziyun remembered that after the county test, he secretly thought: "It's here!"

I saw that it was the name of the newspaper, the document and the examination card, and the clerk first looked at the document of the person who was guaranteed by the scripture, and then looked at the portrait, and there was a text describing the posture and appearance.

After it is confirmed, it is to check, first check the examination basket, pen, ink, paper and inkstone must be checked, and even the steamed buns must be torn apart, free of entrainment, Pei Ziyun has long been experienced, and knows that the food in the examination room is not very greasy, greasy is easy to break, but the person who checks it tears it to see, there is filth, if you eat it badly, it will be over, so it is oil cake and eggs, as for water, the examination room provides it.

The next step is to undress and take off your shoes, and even the bun has to be broken up for inspection.

There was a commotion among the candidates, and soon it was Pei Ziyun's turn, and after inspection, the student stamped and shouted: "Take a seat according to the number." ā€

Pei Ziyun got the admission ticket, and saw that in addition to his seat number, he also stamped a half-seal on the paper, and once there was fraud in the examination room, he would directly investigate the responsibility of the inspectors.

Entering is to find your own room, which is a row of small rooms connected together, and the opposite side is also a row, and the distance between the two rows is five meters, and no matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see the opposite side.

There was a couch, a table, and a stool, and on the table there were three candles and a pen wash with water.

"Hey, the conditions are better than the county test, one more bed. ā€

It is probably that the county exam is only one day, the prefectural exam is two days, and the provincial exam is said to take three days.

Pei Ziyun put all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and opposite was a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young man, as the candidates entered the end, the prefect gave a lecture, and the examiner inspected, everything was completed, and the cloud board rang, and the scribe took the roll and sent it down.

Pei Ziyun took the exam questions, and saw that in addition to the exam questions, there was also a stack of blank paper as drafts, Pei Ziyun lit a candle, and now it was just dawn, and the room still felt dim, so he quickly read the exam papers from beginning to end, and found that the questions were not ambiguous, there were no mistakes or omissions, so he put his mind at ease.

This is the experience of a previous life, if there is a problem, it must be raised quickly, and the paper can be changed, but if it is delayed, it will not work, who knows how.

After reading it, I thought to myself: "It's much more difficult than the county test." ā€

In the county examination, there is a large proportion of Moyi and Tijing.

Moyi, that is, fill-in-the-blank questions, needless to say, Tijing, is a silent writing question, the examiner selects a page from the scriptures, picks one of the lines and prints it on the test paper, according to this line of text, the candidate has to fill in the context associated with it.

There are still Moyi and Thejing in the government test, but there is only one roll of paper, Moyi is only five, and the Tijing is twenty, the proportion has decreased a lot, the test is memory, the original owner's memory is not bad, and after the old Xiucai's literary thinking, Pei Ziyun memorized the book very well, and there is no doubt.

Then there is the clear calculation, the clear law.

"Oh, is this Great Xu Dynasty more practical than my original Ancient Dynasty!"

Ming arithmetic is arithmetic, and Ming law is to understand the basic legal provisions, although the proportion is not large, but it also shows that the examination object is not limited to the four books and five classics.

"But it won't be difficult for me!" Not to mention arithmetic, this law is also a memory problem, and the original owner's memory has been solved.

"Let's get these out of the way first!"

At this time, the sky was already bright, looking up, seeing that the students on the opposite side were slow to raise money, I didn't know whether to do the question, so I smiled, sharpened the pen and ink, and immediately filled in the blanks on the manuscript, filled in the blanks, filled in the scriptures, and verified them again, and then wrote a word on the manuscript.

"This kind of exam, who can write directly on the manuscript without thinking, is either a genius or a delusional talent. After completing this volume, Pei Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief, felt that his back was a little sweaty, and hurriedly took out the towel to wipe it, and found that the young man opposite had a little pale face and looked exhausted.

"Ah, it's noon. In a blink of an eye, it was noon, Pei Ziyun drank some water, ate some oil cakes, peeled an egg, and ate a piece of salty and lean meat.

"The following is the meaning of the scriptures, the key points, there are three questions!"

The so-called scriptures and meanings are discussions around the principles of the book, Pei Ziyun read the first question: "Wandering, the people are incompetent; ā€

"This question is decent!" Pei Ziyun secretly thought, this is the words of Confucius praising Yao in "The Analects of Taber", saying that Yao is too great.

However, with the skills of the old showman, he suddenly had the answer.

"The core of this question is to praise the ancient sages and sages, and the first paragraph is to quote the scriptures and points out what Yao has done, which sages have been used, and have achieved great achievements."

"By extension, the ancestor of this dynasty is wise and martial, and by the way, he shows his loyalty, saying that he also wants to be inspired to assist the saints. ā€

With this argument, the problem is solved: "Just go for it!"

The topic is concise and concise, the article is sprinkled and magnificent, Pei Ziyun just thinks about it, and writes it down in one go!

When you're done, put the draft aside and move on to the next question.

"Therefore, if there is no big reason, you will not abandon it, and you will not be prepared for one person!"

The meaning of this question is very clear, it is the Duke of Zhou who said to his son who was sealed in the Lu State, there is no big mistake in the old friends and old ministers, so don't abandon them, don't blame people.

When Pei Ziyun saw this question, he couldn't help but pat his forehead, and the "snap" was very loud, attracting the people on the other side to look over, and some inspectors came over.

"Don't be complacent, don't be complacent. "Anyway, Lao Xiucai is at home, he didn't take the exam, what is his mind, is not to abandon them, not to ask for full blame - I don't know how many times this topic has been written, it can be plagiarized directly, to ensure the literary style.

With such good luck, I can burst into tears, as soon as Pei Ziyun looked at the title, Pei Ziyun had several articles in his head, and he couldn't stop writing them. Write it down, without adding points, it can be said to be done in one go.

Blowing dry the ink, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, thinking: "This article didn't take much effort at all, it's just a tiring handwriting." ā€

Just like just now, put the draft on one side and look at the third question now.

"Water, fire, metal, wood, earth, and memorial!"

"Putting it off is the hardest part. Pei Ziyun frowned and analyzed, this question is a bit difficult, from "Shangshu Da Yu Mo".

"Water can irrigate, fire can cook, gold can be cut, wood can be cultivated, soil can reproduce, grain can be nurtured, this is called the six mansions, which is used by heaven and earth nature to nourish all things"

These can be extended to the time when agriculture is not violated, the grain can not be eaten also, the way of emphasizing agriculture and governance, and then extended out, that is, virtue is only good governance, government is to support the people, and the virtue of the saint is reflected here, which is only cultivation. ā€

Pei Ziyun finished solving the problem, groaned slightly, and continued to write, this time the speed was not so fast, but it was not slow, he finished writing straight, rubbed his eyes, and found that it was dusk.

Pei Ziyun only felt dizzy, sweat soaked his clothes, put the scratch paper flat, did not copy it, the sky was completely dark, so he lit candles, the examination room was full of candle smells, and the scribes also lit the lighting torches in the examination room one by one.

The examiner took his hands and slowly paced through the inspection with a bunch of examiners, Pei Ziyun was already hungry at this time, so he didn't care, just gobbled it up, the examiner glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but smile.

Pei Ziyun lowered his head and pondered, and when the examiner finished his tour from this road, Pei Ziyun calculated the time, today is only the first night, and the transcription can wait until tomorrow, seeing that the rolls have all been dried, he folded them, blew out the candles, lay on the wooden couch, and put a thin blanket on his body.

Before going to bed, he glanced at the other side, and found that the young man was still working in the candle, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep to the sound of the paper turning on the other side.

"With plum blossoms, it's different. "I don't know why, maybe it's a side effect of receiving sustenance in a dream, in short, as long as you want to sleep, just a few breaths, you will fall asleep, even if it is in the exam room this time, it is the same, just lie down for a few minutes, and let out a slight snoring sound.

At this time, the examiner happened to come over again, and was speechless, and the atmosphere in the examination room was tense, and although some people understood that they had to take care of their spirits at night, most of them tossed and turned, and shook the bed so creakingly, but this son slept so peacefully, I really don't know whether it was confident, or a broken jar.
