Chapter 145: Reading for the Rise of the Tang Dynasty
When Qin Shou came to the examination room, the people were already black, and there was a long queue at the entrance of the examination room.
It is no wonder that in the eyes of countless scholars, if you can take this opportunity to carp and jump into the dragon gate and get a fame, then you will be a master in this life.
Therefore, there are really a lot of people who come, and even many outsiders come from thousands of miles away.
Qin Shou was constantly observing the officials and students of these exams.
There are still some students reading books at the scene, and sure enough, at any time, there are people who "sharpen their guns in battle, and they are not happy", and there are no longer a few.
There are also some people who are making friends, and there are even people whispering something, it seems to be some kind of poetry or something, and I can't hear it clearly.
Not to mention, it's really quite rough, I used to hear that the imperial examination in the early Tang Dynasty was just equivalent to the township examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
"Bell~"
As the bell rings.
Some of the sergeants and officers stood still and said to the students:
"Unrelated personnel exit!"
"Line up one by one, don't squeeze, and if you find someone crowded, you will be directly disqualified from entering the examination room."
"Now let's check!"
Qin Shou's eyes were burning, which was also a little different from what he imagined.
At the very least, the inspection is very detailed, and the discipline of the examination room is constantly read out to the students
He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The on-site inspection is very strict and meticulous
After a while, I heard that there were crying people outside and being dragged away, all because of cheating.
can't help but make some people who are lucky break out with cold sweat on their foreheads.
After the inspection, he was allowed to go inside, and after entering, he was not allowed to move around, and could only stay in his specific position.
Finally, it's time for Qin Shou.
"Let's go!"
After inspecting it, Qin Shou carried the basket and slowly went inside.
It wasn't until a corner that he found his place, and his face suddenly darkened.
Nima!
There's a fire in the place where you take the exam?
How uncomfortable is that?
It's hard to even turn around, not to mention having to take exams here for days in a row, it's just amazing!
When the time comes, it doesn't matter if there are still any students outside who haven't come,
The sergeant guards outside directly sealed the door, and there were vague people crying and shouting something.
A well-dressed official stood up on a high place and said to all the candidates:
"Silence!"
"This official's name is Tang Jian, and he is your chief examiner."
"The officer will read out the discipline of the examination room again......... Whoever chooses to commit fraud for personal gain will be put in prison and will be decided by His Majesty himself. ”
Well?
Qin Shou couldn't help but be stunned again, it wasn't that he wanted to cheat, but that this policy surprised him a little.
Doesn't it mean that in the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was still very loose?
That's pretty strict!
Tang Jian then said some related things, and then began to distribute the exam papers.
moment
The exam room was as quiet as night
All the students were staring nervously at the exam papers in front of them.
In the Jinshi course, the content of the examination is divided into scriptures or current affairs, that is, pasting scriptures (filling in the blanks in the ancient scriptures, poems), and asking questions.
Sticking to the scriptures is only pasted on the big scriptures, that is, "The Book of Rites", "Zuo Chuan", plus "Lao Tzu", four of the ten questions can be answered, and one poem is given.
Five articles should be written, and the main questions are to raise questions and answer questions about the current country's politics, economy, law, military, government affairs, transportation, salt administration, and so on.
......
With the order of the chief examiner, all the candidates moved.
Most of them directly started to do the questions of the scriptures, and some people took the exam papers to conceive first, such as Qin Shou.
Review the questions first, then answer the questions.
Looking at this question, Qin Shou couldn't help but be stunned again
Isn't it said that the poetry in the Jinshi Branch? Why is it so large?
The history that I learned in later generations is fake, right? Look at the exam papers, they pay attention to practice!
Qin Shou first took a general look at the part of the scriptures (fill in the blanks), and he couldn't help but purse his lips when he couldn't answer two of the ten questions.
This is my weakness
But when he saw Shifu, he couldn't help but be stunned
"Goo-toot!"
He swallowed hard
it!
What's going on?
Isn't this exactly the poem I met the guys looking for "gunmen" the day before the exam?
How....... Leaked the question?
Qin Shou couldn't help but explode with a buzzing brain
At this moment, Qin Shou was really scared and his brain was sweating, and he wiped his sweat for a long time, but then he comforted himself again.
It should be fine, after all, Tang Chu's leak seems to be very common.
Qin Shou settled down, and then began to answer the questionnaire.
First of all, I wrote out the pasting scripture (fill in the blanks) that I would know.
The poetry part is much simpler, after all, I have written several articles, and I wrote them smoothly, and the words used are naturally famous sentences through the ages.
policy problem
Qin Shou tried to write as slowly as possible, although he had practiced calligraphy for a long time, but in this era, he really did not have an advantage.
There is no choice of fonts, only regular script.
In the examination room, except for the sound of the answer sheet, there was no second sound.
.......
I don't know how long it took, but the examiners were drowsy.
A few people came outside the examination room, Tang Jian's squinted eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly ran forward and said:
"Your Majesty!"
"Uncle Guo!"
"Lord Wei!"
Li Shimin waved his hand to let Tang Jian get up, ignored him, but casually said to the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng:
"Auxiliary, as long as Qin Shou passes the exam, I will let him enter the court as an official, what do you think?"
The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how about letting him come to my ministry?" ”
Li Shimin gave him a blank look, "Why the ministry?" ”
"......" the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly bowed his head.
After a while, Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
Li Shimin shook his head: "Forget it, let's wait until they finish the exam!" If I disturb the candidates, my conscience is difficult! ”
"Tang Jian, is there a student named Qin Shou?"
"This ......" Tang Jian was a little confused
With so many students, how do you remember it clearly?
"Minister......" Tang Jian wiped the sweat on his head and couldn't say half a word.
"Forget it, when the exam is over, everything will be known!"
Li Shimin smiled and left, but when he left, he glanced at the students with his spare eyes, as if he was looking for something.
Tang Jian looked at the many students, and looked at them with strange eyes, who is Your Majesty looking for?
Is there a noble person in it?
......
The Jinshi examination in the early Tang Dynasty was far less long than the Jinshi examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties
The time to answer the questionnaire passed quickly
And Qin Shou also finished writing all the topics of his meeting early, especially the policy problems, Qin Shou felt that his brain was overloaded.
Because these questions are so practical.
He finally understood that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated at any time.
Fortunately, I was good at writing argumentative essays when I was taking the college entrance examination, and writing these can be regarded as a bit basic
Thereupon.....
He doesn't share your own opinions, positions, and attitudes
Then put the words in turn to remember the arguments, arguments, arguments,
Then he used rigorous arguments to prove his arguments, citing scriptures and classics, and using a lot of conclusive data and some historical facts to support his views.
finally
When the bell rings for the final exam, no one is allowed to use the pen again, otherwise they will be punished for cheating.
Then someone will collect the exam papers
Immediately after that, all the candidates left the venue
Qin Shou couldn't help but be in a trance when he looked at the examiner and the sergeants who were still standing, it really looked like that.
And what Qin Shou didn't know was that
After all the test papers are collected,
The first thing the examiner and the sergeants did turned out to be a ....... of fame, if Qin Shou saw it, he really didn't know what to think?
......
After the name is blurred and transcribed
All the examination papers were sealed, and the transcribed examination papers were sent to the Taiji Palace, which was sealed by Li Shimin as the place of the examiner.
It was supposed to be the Ministry of Rites.
"This exam paper is simply not the right ...... the horse's mouth"
"This post is okay, but the poems are simply unreadable."
"This poem is excellent, but it's too bad!"
Exam papers were thrown directly to the ground, and the representatives who were thrown on the ground were sentenced to "death".
"Hmm...... The scriptures and poems are very good, and there are few flaws in the advice, which can be temporarily retained. ”
"This ......"
Above the main hall, the sound of revising the scroll continued to sound.
Because it is a test paper after the name is blurred and transcribed, no one can see the candidate's information, so it is fair and fair.
And Li Shimin kept looking at them from the side.
The brows are not frowning, as if they are worried.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Come and see this....... It's a genius, the best in ancient and modern times! ”
"Look at this poem, and then look at the ....... of the question."
One of the questions is to ask why you want to read.
"Study for the rise of the Tang Dynasty and strive for the prosperity and tranquility of the country!"
