Chapter 122: The Day of the Spring Boudoir

The ability of an emperor is naturally not too bad, but the 21st batch of famous ministers and officials in the government, including the famous Fan Zhongyan, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Fu Bi and others, did not make the treasury abundant, and life was quite tight, and even if he wanted to eat a piece of meat at night, he had to hesitate for a long time, 0M/

"Caiqing, it is not easy to govern the country and secure the country, Jing Chun's words just now also have a warning meaning.

Zhao Zongshi said quietly: "I think of the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty, no one in the court and the central government knows about it, but it's a pity that Fan Xiang ......." ”

"Husband, don't think about these worries anymore." Gao Tao persuaded softly, looked at Gao Shilin, and showed a smile: "It just so happens that Caiqing is here, let's discuss when to organize a marriage for him." ”

"Sister......." The color of deep thought passed, and Gao Shilin's face flushed.

"What I said is very true, when a good day is chosen, I will personally go to Cao Mansion to propose marriage for Caiqing." Zhao Zongshi said with a laugh.

"Then you discuss slowly, I'll go to Fang Market to inquire where there are ginkgo biloba." Embarrassed to stay in the room, Gao Shilin made an excuse and ran out.

On the 20th of February, the sun was shining and the warm breeze was melting, and the vicinity of the tribute courtyard next to the imperial road outside the imperial city was crowded with literati who had come to participate in the tribute examination, including Chu Qian.

Compared with the people around him who looked nervous, Chu was much calmer, after all, he knew that his hope was not great, so he naturally came with the idea of knowledge, and his mentality was correct, and his mood was of course comfortable.

Looking at the scene of the crowd and looking into the distance, it is estimated that Chu Zhen can't count how many people participated in the tribute test for a long time, but it is certain that the tribute courtyard, which can accommodate 10,000 people, will definitely be full today.

Open the Sci Doctor. Perhaps it is very unfair to many illiterate people. But in a sense. Isn't that a fair performance. At least give literati from poor backgrounds a chance to enter the official career and get ahead. It is better to have hope than not to have hope. After all, in the past, they were all from famous families in the court. There is simply no room for the poor to get involved. It can be said that it is in absolute monopoly.

And now, the big families of the earth may have been ordinary people a hundred years ago. It's just a coincidence. Just in time. It will become the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food. And there were famous ministers and officials in the court. Except for a small number of people. Most of the locals are not from families. They all rely on their own cold windows to study hard. Once the title of the gold list. It's like a carp jumping over the dragon gate. Since then, it has been on the rise. This is the object that the world's scholars admire and emit.

In order to consolidate the rule. The Emperor was naturally pleased with this situation. Emperor Zhenzong was even closer to write his own golden house in the book. The book has its own famous sayings such as Yan Ruyu that inspire literati to work hard. It's a pity to be one of the carps that jumped into Longmendi. There is no real talent. Serendipity. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to succeed.

After all, compared to other dynasties. The Song Dynasty lacked everything. There is no shortage of talented literati students. The style of writing. For thousands of years. I'm afraid that as long as the Tang Dynasty can be compared with it. There are no restrictions on origin. As long as there is an opportunity, a condition. Even if you are a lowly servant. You can also become a famous Confucian. After success. The world will only praise you for coming from a humble background but working hard. Definitely not use this to taunt the attack. Liberal academic environment. The speaker decrees without guilt. It is definitely the dynasty that later generations of literati dreamed of and longed for.

It seems that many people want to return to the Song Dynasty to become a literati. Chu Zhen smiled and pondered. Wouldn't he have become the object of envy and envy of many?

"Brother. Don't be flustered. Prepare for the entrance exam. A kind student pushed Chu Zhi's shoulder and reminded.

"Thank you, brother." Chu Zhen smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Tai is prosperous." ”

"Accept your good words, everyone to each other." The kind-hearted student replied, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Chu Zhen anymore, so he hurriedly called Chu Zhen to squeeze towards the gate of the Gongyuan with him.

"Brother Tai, please, I still have to wait for a friend." Chu Zhihan "1/6\k mobile phone access""_">http:/* */@" smiled and refused, anyway, before the person went in, the gate of the Gongyuan would definitely not be closed, and there was no need to sweat with people, which would affect the performance of the exam, and the kind-hearted students agreed at will, and no longer paid attention to Chu Qian, plucked up the strength of the whole body, and squeezed into the rolling sea of people.

There are really enough literati who participated in the tribute test, the gate of the tribute courtyard was open for about half an hour, and there were still hundreds of people who had not yet entered, but it was much better than the overcrowded situation just now, and Chu Zhi also moved his body a little at this time, lifted the bamboo basket containing pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and walked towards the gate of the tribute courtyard with easy steps, and did not scramble to be the first, but fell to the last place.

"Brother Tai, why do you look flustered, could it be that you are unwell?" found that there was an elegant-looking, handsome and handsome young man beside him, his face was gray, and his hands were trembling slightly, and Chu Zhen couldn't help but ask curiously.

"My pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are gone." Qingxiu Shizi cried and mourned, and when he lifted his hand, there was only a small stack of white paper left, which looked empty

, with anxiety and despair in his eyes.

The ancient imperial examination is not as good as the modern treatment, the lack of any examination equipment can be asked to the invigilator, everything is self-brought, if you don't bring, or dropped, you can only think that you are unlucky, and there is a time limit for entering the examination room, outdated do not wait, lock the door, within the specified time, only allowed to go out and not enter.

In order to create an elegant environment for the candidates who participated in the tribute examination, and it is close to the imperial city and the imperial road, there are naturally no shops and vendors, and it is impossible to buy again.

It must have fallen off when he squeezed it just now, looking at the messy scene nearby, and vaguely seeing a few cloth shoes, and some pen inkstones that were trampled on unshapeably, Chu Zhi immediately guessed the answer.

The nearby students also vaguely heard the cry of the beautiful young man, and they checked their embroidered baskets one after another, or their faces changed greatly, or they showed a look of happiness.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Zhi took out two brushes from his bamboo basket, a hand-copied inkstone, and two ink strips, and put them lightly into the bamboo basket of the handsome young man, and did not speak, turning around and walking towards the gate of the tribute courtyard.

"This brother, please stay." Qingxiu Shizi was slightly grateful, and his heart was suddenly infinitely grateful, and he hurriedly shouted on the spot, ready to express his heartfelt gratitude.

Chu Zhen didn't hear it, after all, he was just a momentary kindness, but he didn't have the luxury of expecting anything in return, and as an experienced traverser, of course Chu Zhen would not only prepare a small amount of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and some people would not have an impact on him.

Holding the letter of recommendation, Chu Zhen was able to enter the examination room without any surprise, and under the guidance of an official, after three steps and one guard of the soldiers, five steps and one post, he finally arrived at the seat in the courtyard he was assigned.

After the five drums and three watches, under the expectation of many literati, the chief examiner who presided over the examination, Zhao Xuan, a scholar of Hanlin and a bachelor of Hanlin, walked into the tribute courtyard with several accompanying officials, first worshipping the gods of heaven and earth according to the rituals, and then offering incense and praying to the Confucian sages in a pilgrimage-like mood.

Then he took out the sealed examination paper and asked the accompanying officials to recite it in all corners of the Tribute Courtyard, but he sat peacefully on a chair in the middle of the Tribute Courtyard, smiled and said to an elegant scribe beside him: "Junshi, come and sit down, there should be nothing to do with us." ”

"Master Zhao, I was ordered to invigilate the exam, and we will have to patrol the courtyard later, how can we be so lax." The elegant scribe shook his head in refusal, and said solemnly.

Zhao Yi also knew the temperament of the elegant scribe, he just smiled when he heard the words, and he was also annoyed, and after a while, after the rumors were all returned, he immediately signaled his entourage to ring the golden gong and announce the official start of the examination.

The examination, also known as the tribute examination and the provincial examination, does not specify a specific date, and is generally held in February and March, so the world is called the spring boudoir, and the people who participate in the examination must have the qualifications to lift people, but not all the people can participate in the examination, they also have to go through the assessment of grinding and re-examination, and only the top three people can participate in the examination.

Otherwise, there were no less than tens of thousands of literati in the Song Dynasty who had the status of lifting people, and they all came to participate in the examination, and the Gongyuan would definitely not be able to tolerate it.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, like Chu Zhen, those who hold the recommendation letter of the court minister in their hands naturally do not need to participate in the re-examination, nor do they need to raise their identities, and they can directly enter the official examination.

Hearing the bell, Chu Zhi knew that the examination had begun, picked up the brush that had been stained with ink, and carefully and neatly wrote his name, household registration and other information on the white paper frontispiece of the tiled bookcase.

The first session of the examination is three scripture questions and a poem, the questions are very simple, as long as the literati who participate in the examination are well-read and knowledgeable, they can easily complete the answers.

"If there is a way in the world, the government is not in the doctor; If there is a way in the world, people will not discuss it. Get off the train today on the same track, the book is the same, and the line is the same. Wan Zhong does not distinguish etiquette and accepts it, and Wan Zhong is for me and Jiayan. Chu Zhi silently recited the title of the three scriptures, and after a while, he smiled confidently, the first sentence, there is a ...... in the world, from the "Analects", the second sentence got off the train today and ...... on the same track, from the twenty-eighth chapter of "The Mean", and the third sentence Wan Chuan did not distinguish the ......, from "Mencius Chapter and Sentence".

Thinking about the source of the scriptures, Chu Zhen is naturally working hard to write the book, point out the source, fill it in completely, and attach an explanation of its meaning, as well as his own opinions, after writing, carefully check whether there is anything to avoid, carefully consider the words and sentences to think about whether there is any improvement, until Chu Zhen himself feels satisfied, no longer need to modify, and then focus on the trial poem.
