However, seeing that Lu Shixin was quite satisfied with Lu Shuo, and the surrounding officials were already a little dissatisfied with his behavior, Ma Yuanming didn't dare to continue to act, and after snoring a few words, the matter was revealed.
Lu Shuo and Zhou Mao kept this person in their hearts.
Such a villain needs to be careful in the future.
After a few more words, the three of them retreated together.
When he got out of the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, Sun Zhe asked Lu Shuo: "That Ma Yuanming is targeting you everywhere, do you already know each other, what kind of festival is not possible?"
Lu Shuo shook his head.
"It's the first time I've seen this person, and I naturally don't have any festivals, mainly because of my father, political views are different, because of my father's relationship, I was severely reprimanded by the saint, I think I have always held a grudge, so I stumbled in front of everyone!"
Hearing this, Sun Zhe and Zhou Mao were suddenly stunned.
It turned out to be a conflict with Lu Yun!
"He has already attracted the attention of people by facing you in front of all the adults today, and he will not get anything good from him...... However, I heard that these chief and deputy examiners will participate in the marking of the examination papers, and I am afraid that he will secretly use ...... methods."
It's not impossible!
However, Lu Shuo didn't care much about this possibility!
"He has lost the opportunity to target me like this today, there are so many adults present, if he deliberately misjudges me at that time, I also have an explanation!"
Sun Zhe thought about it, but it was indeed this gift, so he put his mind at ease.
After saying this, several people came to the carriage in a blink of an eye.
"Senior Brother Zhou, see you in two days!"
Lu Shuo and Sun Zhe paused and said goodbye to Zhou Mao.
"See you in two days!"
Zhou Mao smiled and waved his sleeves to get into the car.
ā¦ā¦
Two days later, the re-examination held by the imperial court was held.
The so-called re-examination is said to be strict and strict, and it is not strict or strict, which is equivalent to an interview.
Just because the focus of this "re-examination" is not in the examination of knowledge, but on your appearance and posture, which can be summed up in the four words "judgment of body and words".
The so-called "judgment of body and words" is: "Try and then prosper, observe his body and words, his body will be magnificent, and his words must be correct." It is a style handed down from the Tang Dynasty, but it was placed after the palace test in the Tang Dynasty, and it was changed before the palace test in Daqi.
Body, including physical appearance, requires candidates to be neither tall nor short, and have good facial features;
Words, that is, the ability to export chapters, if you stutter, no matter how good the results are, you will not have a chance to take the palace exam.
The calligraphy, that is, the ability to calligraph, requires the writing of a neat and beautiful regular script.
Judging is to give a candidate a case and judge his ability from the way and means he decides the case.
Among these four-character requirements, the focus is on "judgment".
But it is not easy to take the test, and generally as long as it is not too bad, the examiner will let it go gently.
On the contrary, the most difficult thing is in the "body" and "speech", the shortcomings in appearance and language ability are almost innate, and it is not easy to change in the short term, and the review is particularly strict on this point.
Officials represent the image of the ruling class of the imperial court, and the so-called "officials cannot stand without authority", if the appearance of the official is too ugly, it is light to scare people, and it is also very important to be unable to establish official authority and affect the majesty of the imperial court.
Therefore, only after passing the re-examination can candidates be eligible to participate in the temple examination presided over by the Holy God himself.
If you can't pass this level, no matter how good your grades are in the exam, the most you can do is "consider", but you don't want to participate in the palace exam, and in addition, there is no hope of becoming an official.
Historically, because of appearance and language problems, there are many candidates who have passed many hurdles and finally worshiped the re-examination, and because of this, many candidates have to pay attention.
For Lu Shuo, Zhou Mao and Sun Zhe, this retest seemed very easy, they had no hard defects, they met the conditions in all aspects, and they passed easily.
The venue for the re-examination is located in the Imperial Palace, which is the same venue as the palace examination.
After the re-examination, the candidates cannot leave, and they must be personally guided by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to learn the etiquette in the palace.
How to worship and how to salute, it looks simple, but it is a very big science, and the candidates are all trembling to learn, lest one accidentally lose his honor in front of the emperor, or offend a high-ranking official, then this official road is considered to be done.
After a process was over, it was almost evening, and the three of Lu Shuo said hello and dispersed directly.
ā¦ā¦
Five days later, it was finally time for the temple examination.
As the name suggests, the palace examination is the highest level of examination by the saint himself, and only those who pass the examination can participate in this examination.
Of course, the imperial examination has developed for many years, and in the generation of Daqi, the so-called saint personally writes the questions and personally watches the examination has become a disguise, and the person who writes the question is done by the Hanlin Academy or the chief examiner, and the so-called personal examination is just a time to patrol.
That's it, but it's already very exciting for the candidates.
You know, for many candidates, this is the first opportunity to meet the saint.
Emperor!
To the people, this is a god-like being.
Not to mention that the candidates have accepted the idea of "divine authority of the monarch" since childhood, taking loyalty to the emperor as the first priority, and even attributing all the credit for the imperial examination to the emperor.
Therefore, it is already a great honor for many people to have the honor to participate in the palace examination, and the excitement can be imagined.
Lu Shuo and Sun Zhe waited outside for a while before it was finally time to enter the venue.
Under the guidance of the eunuchs, each candidate entered the venue in order according to their ranking.
Named.
Loose rolls.
Visit.
Salute.
The candidates finally got their wish and met Emperor Hui Chong.
Although he was only allowed to half-raise his eyes to look at the saint, many people were still excited, even Lu Shuo, a modern person, was not exempt from vulgarity.
Lu Shuo had met Emperor Hui Chong once, many years ago.
It's a pity that at that time, there was a case of the four princes being **, and Lu Shuo naturally didn't have the heart to get excited.
At this time, it was different, he came as a candidate to complete his last mission of the imperial examination, and the old man in front of him with a bright yellow dragon pattern was the master of the world, Lu Shuo's heart was surging, and it took a while to suppress it.
After a series of red tape, the candidates finally sat down in their respective seats and prepared for the exam.
The books were neatly arranged, and Emperor Hui Chong sat at the top, surrounded not only by officials of all sizes in the court, but also by hundreds of royal forest soldiers standing without saying a word, extremely majestic.
In this case, not to mention plagiarism, even a small action can be seen clearly, and therefore, after experiencing the initial excitement, the candidates finally realized the difference in the environment and began to become nervous and vigilant.
Finally, after a while, the test paper was finally sent.
