The system of Song Zhi's lock courtyard is to "lock" the examiners into the tribute academy before the official entrance examination, which is equivalent to house arrest, and at the same time, the students are also in the tribute academy for the official entrance examination.

There is only one examination room in Guizhou in the entire Guangnan West Road, and all the students in Guangnan West Road are concentrated in Guizhou to participate in the examination, but...

It's just that there is no tribute courtyard on the entire Guangnan West Road, so it has to be replaced by the Confucian Temple, which means that the students are all in the Confucius Temple in Guizhou.

With a "snap", the package in Li Sanjian's hand fell into the muddy water.

It's the Temple of Confucius again. . . Li Sanjian was speechless, Lingshan County School is in the Confucian Temple, but the exam is still in the Confucian Temple, Li Sanjian has formed an indissoluble bond with the Confucian Temple in his life.

It's just that the Confucius Temple in Guizhou is much larger than the Confucius Temple in Lingshan County.

Shan Kui hurriedly picked up the package from the ground, wiped the muddy water on the package with his sleeve, and wiped it over and over again with a heartache, knowing that this was Li Sanjian's food for a whole day.

The daily test should be taken from the time of application to the time of application, that is to say, if the daily test questions are not accepted by the student at the time of application, he will be expelled from the examination room immediately.

Li Tang was also allowed to take the night test with candles, but Song did not allow it, and even candles and other lighting objects were not allowed to be brought into the examination room.

Before the time came, because it was raining, the sky was cloudy, and there was no light, and hundreds of students carrying various lighting objects had gathered in front of the Confucian Temple, waiting for the opening of the temple.

Previously, the students had submitted their family certificates, guarantee certificates and other official documents to the government for review, and obtained the qualification for the release test.

"Haha, Brother Yongcai, why are your eyes dark? Could it be that yesterday night in Willow Lane, the nightingale couldn't sing? ”

"Pocai, nonsense, sir, I reviewed my homework all night yesterday."

In front of the Confucian Temple, there were many people, and all the students were standing in the rain with lighting objects, with different expressions, some were afraid, some were excited, some were calm, and some were relieved of their nervousness by gags.

Zeng Citizen's face was so nervous that his face turned pale, the rain gear was crooked, and he didn't know that the rain fell on his fat face.

"Donglin, why are you so nervous?" Li Sanjian comforted.

Although Li Sanjian said this, he was also quite nervous in his heart.

After all, this is the first time Li Sanjian has participated in such an important exam, and it is the first time he has seen the imperial court tribute in this world, this is a big competition that determines his own fate, and even determines the fate of Li Sanjian's whole family, how can Li Sanjian not be nervous?

"For the country and the people, select and select talents." Li Sanjian then gently read a couplet on both sides of the gate to ease his nervousness.

The view of the Confucian Temple, which is the place of the test for the time being, is broad, surrounded by mountains and waters, and the distant behind is the mountain peaks of the mountains, surrounded by green streams, and the location is high and cool.

This is the so-called excellent place for feng shui, right? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

Li Sanjian is right, the general tribute courtyard or the place temporarily selected as the tribute courtyard is almost all feng shui treasure land, because in the place with good feng shui and aura, it is possible to produce talents, and officials will make outstanding achievements.

The husband is in the beauty of the mountains and rivers, the theory of geographical yin and yang, the saint is not wasted! Talents will be doubled!

"Open the hospital!" When Li Sanjian was thinking wildly, the door suddenly opened, and a prison officer shouted, startling Li Sanjian.

"Open the hospital!" Dozens of soldiers under the prison officer responded loudly.

When the students who had been waiting for a long time heard this, they rushed to the gate, crowded each other, and swarmed in.

Except for a few students, they are not very old, that is, teenagers in their teens, and their bodies are relatively weak, but as long as those from slightly better families are followed by slaves, the slaves escort their masters to squeeze in.

A war of slaves protecting their master into the hospital immediately began, and the slaves pushed, shoved, scolded, and escorted their masters forward.

The ground was covered with all kinds of rain gear, lighting and other objects, and some people were even squeezed to the ground, covered in mud, like mud figures.

It is also extremely important to know the location in the examination room, if you are close to the net bucket to interpret the scriptures, wouldn't it be a stinky article? The road to the imperial examination may end here...

Shan Kui roared angrily, stretched out his arms, and squeezed in like a chopping wave, and the strong Shan Kui escorted the two of them to the gate.

The mountain can only be sent here, and the slaves are not allowed to enter the examination room.

In order to choose a house with an excellent location, Li Sanjian dragged Zeng Gongming desperately to squeeze in.

。。。。。。。。

Suddenly, a high-rise building in the temple sounded a sound of bells and drums, and the examiners Hu Wenhai and Xu Bin of the Guangnan West Road Liberation Examination, the surveillance officer Yin Mochuan and his curtain officials, and some other officials walked into the examination room.

After locking the courtyard for a few days, Hu Wenhai and others had already drawn up the exam questions.

If the question is too difficult, it will not be enough to solve the problem, so it will be laughed off, and the most important thing is that the performance will also be affected, if the question is too simple, some people who do not have real materials will be sent to Beijing to participate in the provincial examination, and they may all be dethroned, and because of shallow knowledge, they will also be laughed at.

Therefore, Hu Wenhai and others racked their brains and finally formulated a suitable exam question.

After the examiners came in, the students who exchanged their ears immediately fell silent.

Then the examiner read out the decree and announced the official start of the tribute.

After that, hundreds of students, led by the examiner, braved the rain to pay homage to the stone statue of Sage Confucius, which is one of the essential steps.

After the students followed the examiners to pay homage to Confucius, they came to the tribute examination room.

The house? Where is the barnage? Li Sanjian realized at this time that he had been completely deceived by something, and the Song Gongju examination room was not a room divided into rooms at all, and there was no separate space for students to meditate and write.

The Gongju examination room is a big house, and because it is used as a temporary examination room, it is still a little simple.

The examination room is surrounded by wooden pillars, and the middle is connected, and the students sit in the middle to take the exam. In front of each person there was a low table with some pen, ink, paper and inkstones.

The students were huddled together, and if they had good eyes, they could see the articles written by the people at the next table, and even talk to each other, but this was unlikely, because the surrounding area was full of surveillance officials, staring at the students like thieves.

And the student's seat is not where you want to sit, but has long been arranged by the officials according to the roster, Li Sanjian and Zeng Gongming are separated by two tables, and the two can only communicate with "squeezing eyebrows and making eyes".

Then the officials read out aloud the system of the examination room and officially began to introduce the examination.

The first test is the test scripture, the so-called test book is the interpretation of the scriptures, excerpt some scriptures from various scriptures, let the students interpret the scriptures.

At this time, the ten scriptures have been hung high in the hall, these ten scriptures are excerpted from the "Analects", "Mencius" and other scriptures, the examination questions are not very difficult, these scriptures are common scriptures, and easy to understand, students only need to read the scriptures by heart, and according to the predecessors' commentaries to interpret it.

Li Sanjian finished grinding and took up a pen to copy the topic on paper.

Why not from the "Three Classics and New Meanings"? Li Sanjian secretly wondered while copying.

At present, isn't the content of the tribute based on "The New Meaning of the Three Classics" and "The Word Saying"? Why is none of these ten questions taken from the "Three Classics and New Meanings" and "Words and Sayings"?

Do the examiners think that the interpretation of "The New Meaning of the Three Classics" and "Words and Words" is too difficult? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

You must know that Li Sanjian's focus is on reviewing "The New Meaning of the Three Classics" and "Words and Words".

In fact, Li Sanjian guessed wrong, at present, the new party such as Zhang Dian and Cai Bian are in power in the imperial court, and at this time, the new party attacked the old party, that is, the Yuanyou party, and almost all the Yuanyou party members were expelled from the imperial court, expelled from the center, and sent to other places as officials.

The more Yuanyu party members are the more degraded they are, and the farther they are dethroned.

Hu Wenhai and others were regarded as members of the Yuanyou Party, so they were deposed to such a desolate place in Guangnan as officials, they all hated the New Party and Xinxue, so how could Hu Wenhai and others come up with questions from "The New Meaning of the Three Classics" and "Words and Words"?

It's just that Hu Wenhai and others are not the backbone of the Yuanyou party, so they are only dethroned, not to the end.

"If you don't cultivate virtue, you can't learn it, you can't learn it, you can't change it, you can't change it, it's my worry."

This is the first question, which is excerpted from the Analects.

This sentence is very simple to understand, that is, in the late Spring and Autumn period, the world was in chaos. Confucius lamented that the world could not blame itself for its mistakes, and he was very worried about this. In his view, there is also an intrinsic relationship between the three aspects, because the most important thing in moral cultivation and learning all kinds of knowledge is to be able to correct one's own mistakes or "bad things" in a timely manner, and only in this way can self-cultivation be perfected and knowledge enriched.

Confucius's words are full of worry and anger, and he can't wait to pick up the worries of the world with one shoulder, and he can't wait for the world to immediately restore the etiquette system. Everyone knows etiquette and observes etiquette. People's hearts are not ancient, the world is hot and cold, and other phenomena disappear immediately.

However, this is only the ideal or wish of Confucius, but this ideal or wish is impossible to realize, and the greed of the human heart determines that such a wish is impossible to realize, and Li Sanjian is quite unimpressed.

However, although Li Sanjian did not think so, he did not write down the meaning of refuting Confucius's words, if so, Li Sanjian is estimated to be kicked out of the examination room immediately.

Refuting the words of the sage, most people in this world can't accept it, so Li Sanjian can only honestly write the original intention of Confucius on paper, which is decent.

When Li Sanjian was seriously answering the question, suddenly there were two loud noises in his ears, Li Sanjian was startled, and quickly turned his head to look, only to see two scholars fainting and falling to the ground, covered with ink.

I don't know if it's because it's hot, or because of nervousness...

"Carry it down for treatment." The chief examiner, Hu Wenhai, frowned and instructed Xu Zhidao.
