Chapter 123: Luck
Poetry as a scientific research project, began in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty test poems called Tang rhythm, rhyme, six rhymes, rarely use eight rhymes, is one of the Tang Dynasty to get the Jinshi project, the Song Dynasty attack the Tang system, the examination of nature also to use the test poems, until Wang Anshi changed the law, only to try to stick the poems too rigid, to the ancient scholars are based on the study of the reason, cancel the test poems. \、\
But that's a matter of the future, now Chu Zhen is staring intently at the topic of the trial post poem in front of him, if it is a random poem, Chu Zhen will definitely not feel embarrassed, but the trial post poem has strict requirements for the structure of the grid, will try five words and eight rhymes, every two sentences for a couplet, called the upper and lower couplet, the lower couplet rhymes, called a rhyme.
The rhythm is strict, but the proposition of the test poem is very arbitrary, just take a sentence in the poem of the predecessors, or choose an allusion, an idiom, you must know that the ancient poetry allusions are vast, if you don't know the source of the proposition, there is no way to write, fortunately, the person who tried the question did not do so much, just let the candidate take the Yin Yin Xia Mu Huangli as the theme, make a test poem.
"Flying egrets in desert paddy fields, yellow orioles in the shade and summer trees." Chu Zhixun thought: "The proposition should be from Wang Wei's "Poems by Cumulus Chuanzhuang". ”
got the answer, Chu Zhen didn't delay, racked his brains and thought for a while, waved his pen to write a test poem that fit the topic, gently put down the pen, and checked the exam paper again, Chu Zhen felt good about himself, and was ready to hand in the paper and leave, but suddenly found that he was hungry in his belly, and he didn't want it to be dusk.
Now that he has finished answering, Chu Zhen naturally will not continue to stay in the Gongyuan, handed over the exam papers to the invigilating official, and walked quickly to the door, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the Gongyuan, Chu Zhen heard a surprise voice: "Brother Tai, you finally came out." ”
The figure shook, and the person who spoke out was already in front of Chu Qian, Chu Zhen looked carefully, and found that the person who came was the Qingxiu scholar who had lost the four determinations of the study room before the exam, only to see him with a sincere smile on his face, grateful to him, bowed and said: "In Xia Teng Maoshi, the word Xiuying, thank you for the help of Brother Tai." ”
"It's a small thing, don't worry too much." If you don't leave, the night will come, and if you go back late, you will definitely be questioned by your family, and Chu Zhen doesn't want too many people to know about her participation in the exam, so he just returned the salute lightly, nodded slightly, moved two steps, avoided Teng Maoshi, and walked briskly in the east of the city.
"I haven't asked my brother Taizun's surname .......
As soon as he straightened up, Teng Maoshi stopped in shock.
"Xiuying. People have gone far. "At this point. From the neighborhood walked to a personable, distinguished young man. He smiled and said, "This person is also interesting." Treat people so coldly. But the old way is hot. It's really unseemly. ”
"It's a pity that I haven't asked for the name of my benefactor yet." Teng Maoshi said with some loss. More than ten years of hard study. Looking forward to the test of the future. If you can't take the entrance examination because of today's events. He must have been overwhelmed with grief and indignation. The pain is unbearable.
"Rest assured. There are also two make-up exams. I still don't think I can see him. The young man with excellent demeanor smiled: "But Xiuying." You'll want to pay attention next time. Stop being negligent. ”
"What the world says is true." Teng Maoshi's face was happy. Then he said a little shyly: "Don't worry." After this incident. How can I be confused any longer? ”
Early the next morning. Chu Zhen appeared in front of the gate of the Gongyuan on time. Although yesterday the exam went very well. However, Chu Zhen did not have much joy. Don't dare to take it lightly. I thought it was that simple. After all, what is there to remind. Chu Zhen had long known that the first test would definitely be very easy.
But the court took the scholars. It's different from picking talents. It's not just rote memorization. Relying on the land is a literary strategy. Choose the best of the best. The first test is just a warm-up. Participate in the examination of local literati. Ten ** can be successfully answered without much effort.
As yesterday, after layers of checkpoints, sit in the Gongyuan, the second test is Moyi, there are about thirty or forty questions, the proposition is remote, it is simply outrageous, the content of the proposition is from the Liyi Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan, Shangshu Poetry through Mencius University, and then to the Hanshu Shiji Yuan to Shi Tong Compendium and other classics, all-encompassing, all-inclusive, and some are not directly extracted from the scriptures, but quoted from the annotations of celebrities, if you don't understand this, I don't know where the title comes from.
"Cai Gengzhi is even more regarded as a suo, Wang Shao said that the ancient book "Qu Li" has no clear sentence, and it is ridiculous?" Reciting a sentence silently in his heart, Chu Zhen couldn't help but scold secretly, this is obviously deliberately making things difficult, no wonder He Shi Chu Qian always lets himself memorize more ancient books, and clearly points out that his knowledge accumulation is insufficient, and he still needs to work harder.
Scratching his ears and cheeks and thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't understand it, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, and when he was at a loss, Chu Zhen suddenly heard some movement nearby, and couldn't help but look at it curiously, only to see a few soldiers pressing a struggling candidate, trying to drag him to the seat, but although the candidate was full of panic, he hugged the bookcase tightly, no matter how the soldiers pulled, they just didn't want to get up.
"Why are you making a fuss here, you have forgotten the taboo of making tests." After receiving the report, Zhao Yi quickly came and stepped forward to scold upright.
Since it is an exam, there will naturally be discipline in the examination room, in order to prevent cheating from happening, it is strictly forbidden for candidates to talk to each other, whispering, and noisy noise is not allowed.
"Report to the bachelor, this person cheated and hid a cheat sheet in his clothes, and we will expel him from the tribute academy according to the law." An inspection officer stood up and said.
Zhao Yi's eyes were fixed, he took two steps forward, and casually turned up the collar of the candidate, and sure enough, he found that the clothes were full of dense small characters, and his face sank at the moment, and he didn't say anything at all, waving his hand to signal the soldiers to continue to act.
Seeing this, the candidates in the vicinity were not affected in the slightest, and continued to bury their heads in answering, of course, there were also a few people who didn't know why, their faces suddenly changed, they quickly lowered their heads, their palms clenched, and hot sweat broke out.
In the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent candidates from cheating, the imperial examination system has been further improved, but compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, the omissions are obvious, the inspection when entering the Gongyuan is only to check the pen, ink, paper and inkstone carried by the candidates, there is no so-called body search, of course, this is a manifestation of civilization, but it is also easy to breed the psychology of cheating by luck.
Snorted lightly, obviously accustomed to this matter, Zhao Yi's anger in his heart immediately disappeared, looked around, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Chu Qian, and couldn't help but be surprised, and then remembered He Shi's activities some time ago, smiled, moved in his heart, and walked in the direction of Chu Qian's book.
Chu Zhi also noticed it, smiled at Zhao Yi, but had no other thoughts in his heart, the longer he got along, Chu Zhen also understood the character of He Shi Zhao Yi and others, if it was in private matters, there were no taboos in talking, there was no need to ask for something, they were also willing to reach out to help, but when they were about business, they were never at all, and they would never be mixed with personal feelings.
There were still a few steps to get close to Chu Qian, and the cheating candidates who were dragged up by the soldiers didn't know where the strength came from, so they suddenly broke free from the care of several soldiers, rushed to Zhao Yi's side, knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Zhao, the student is just a ghost for a while, so he will do such a despicable thing, ask the bachelor to be extra gracious, give the student a chance." ”
After howling and crying, he bowed his head to the ground, tears and snot came out, and he didn't care about wiping them, and the appearance of a personable literati suddenly became embarrassed.
"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, you have to take it as a warning and come back in a few years." Zhao Yi's heart softened, and he said softly, for students who cheat in the exam, once discovered, they will only be expelled from the examination room, and the answer sheet will be confiscated, and there is no provision prohibiting re-examination in the future.
"Bachelor, the student really knows his mistake, and he will never dare to do it again from now on, ask the bachelor for mercy." The cheating examinee couldn't cry, and the mournful voice made people feel empathy, and compassion was born.
"Such a despicable act cannot be forgiven." A stern voice reprimanded: "If it is easily forgiven, wouldn't it make people feel lucky, encourage their crooked tendencies, and cheat again and again, and it is difficult to warn future generations if they are not punished." ”
"You have a point." Zhao Yi pondered for a moment, his heart was as firm as iron, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, expel him from the tribute courtyard." ”
"Bachelor, no." The examinee was terrified when he heard this, and hugged the foot of the bookcase chair next to him tightly, depending on how the soldiers pulled, even the robe fell loosely, but he was unwilling to let go.
After a stalemate for a while, how could the powerless candidates compete with the soldiers, the four of them raised the candidates' limbs respectively, ignored the candidates' useless struggles, and walked straight out, and after a while, the candidates' cries could no longer be heard in the courtyard.
Zhao Xuan didn't want to stay here for such a thing, so he gestured to Chu Zhen slightly, turned around and said, "Junshi, as you said, it is really not slack, let's go to other places to inspect." ”
True? Could it be that Sima Guang can't do it? Chu Zhi's eyes lit up, staring at the solemn and elegant scribe in front of him, and secretly guessed in his heart, until he talked lightly with Zhao Ji and left, then he withdrew his gaze, and prepared to find an opportunity to ask Zhao Yi clearly after the examination, so as to solve the confusion in his heart.
But at this time, let's concentrate on solving the problem in front of me, looking at the dozen or so blank ink meanings in the volume, and most of the time before the bell is about to ring to end the exam, Chu Zhi's head is dizzy again, his eyes are blurred and fluttering, he skims the sky and the earth, and when he looks down, he suddenly sees something on the ground, and he is stunned, and he can't help but be overjoyed.
Holding his breath and concentrating, he found that no one was paying attention, and immediately took the pen and ink, and wrote freely on the answer sheet, it took a few minutes, and he finished answering in a hurry, Chu Zhen did not check carefully at all, and even the ink was not blown dry, so he directly picked up the exam paper and walked out of the courtyard, and handed it to the examiner When he left, Chu Zhen found that he was empty-handed, and he forgot to take the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but Chu Zhen was not ready to return anyway, with a little apprehension, a little excitement, and walked out of the tribute courtyard as if he were empty.
Although it's on the shelves, don't drop too much of the collection recommendation, sweat
