The quadrennial Confucian exchange meeting was held as scheduled, and young students from various local academies of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered in Qufu City, which was personally funded by Lu Guogong and jointly organized by 72 academies.

According to the practice of previous years, before the start of the examination, a dean of the seventy-two academies in Qufu City would personally take the stage to speak, and this year was no exception, but it was not until the Confucian students present saw the old man with a pale face and a crane hair who walked to the high platform that they finally couldn't stop letting out one exclamation after another.

Immediately afterwards, the deans of the other seventy-one academies in Qufu City got up from their seats at the same time and bowed to Yan Ziyuan.

The dean bowed first, followed by the students of the seventy-one academies in Qufu City and bowed twice.

Finally, students from all over the world bowed three times.

Yan Ziyuan, who walked to the high platform, looked down at the young Confucian students from all over the world, and said with a smile: "I am very happy to meet the new young people of Confucianism, every time I see you, I will always feel deeply gratified in my heart, with you here, Confucianism has a future and hope." ”

Yan Ziyuan's few words ignited the emotions of the students under the high stage again, and many of the Confucian students present who should never have seen them in their lifetime stood on the high platform and said words of encouragement today. This leader of Confucianism, the great Confucian who all the scholars in the world want to call Mr. is standing on the high platform at this moment.

Chen Ziyou, who had just finished the salute with everyone, looked at the old man on the high platform from afar, and after feeling the surrounding atmosphere, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Is this the evergreen tree of Confucianism, Yan Ziyuan, who has been in charge of Confucianism for 50 years?

Chen Ziyou looked at the eyes of the old man on the high platform, and suddenly a sense of respect arose in his heart. For the first time since coming to this era, he has been in awe of a person. It was a pair of extremely clear eyes, in Yan Ziyuan's pupils, Chen Ziyou couldn't see the slightest distraction, only people who are very persistent about something and full of belief will have such a pair of pupils. Many people have ideals when they are young, but when they leave for half their lives, their pupils are already cloudy when they return, and there are very few people who can really maintain the purity of their hearts. Yan Ziyuan is already full of white hair, but he can make a pair of eyes extremely clear, this is an old man with faith, Chen Ziyou knows this deeply.

Yan Ziyuan on the high platform was probably old, and after encouraging the students present, he quickly retreated, even so, when Yan Ziyuan walked off the high platform, it still attracted thunderous applause from the audience.

Ren Shou walked on the high stage with some embarrassment, the young dean of Bailin Academy, who has been in charge of Confucianism in recent years, and even took the stage to deliver a pre-game speech at the conference four years ago, but it did not have the thunderous effect of today's applause like Yan Ziyuan.

"Students!" Ren Keshou raised his voice, "I am the chief examiner of the first round of written exams of this Confucian exchange meeting, and I am also the dean of Bailin Academy in Qufu City-Ren Keshou. The conference lasted for 10 days and was divided into three rounds. The first round is the written test, which will be conducted on the first day, and the students' test papers will be corrected by the deans of the 72 colleges in Qufu City, and the same test paper will be scored by the three deans. The first round of written examination is expected to be completed within three days. ”

As soon as the rules of the first round of written examinations were announced, the candidates who had just quieted down in the field exploded again, and the previous written test marks were criticized for being too few markers, and the concepts of the new and old deans were inevitably different, resulting in the same point of view but the difference in the scores of different markers. And this time, the examiners actually included 72 college presidents, and there was the possibility of a second grading.

From this point, it can be seen that Confucianism attaches great importance to this Confucian exchange meeting, and the candidates are even more excited.

The candidates sat down one by one under the guidance, and soon began to answer the questions under the order of opening the examination that Ren adhered to.

Following the practice of the past years, the first round of written examinations was held outdoors, and the officers and soldiers in Qufu City cleared an open field, placed thousands of seats, and every 30 people would have an invigilator to prevent cheating.

Chen Ziyou looked at the examination room, and he missed the scene of the college entrance examination that year.

He never expected that the examination process of this Confucian exchange meeting would be so standardized.

The examination room was very quiet, and on this day, the city of Qufu was closed, so even the nearest street did not have a single noise coming.

In the examination room, only the sound of the pen and the sound of turning the exam paper could be heard, Chen Ziyou picked up the brush with some difficulty, and answered the question, he rarely used the brush in the old civilization period, and only took a few brush classes in junior high school, so the words are not good-looking.

The previous questions are relatively simple, and the test is the allusions in the three books and one story, except for a few questions that Chen Ziyou really can't remember, the rest can basically be answered.

Finally came to the final big question, which is a free play question, which used to involve current affairs, but when Chen Ziyou finished reading this question, he was still a little surprised.

Topic: On the first day of the fifth month of 388 AD, Wu Kui, the prime minister of Wei, rebelled, and was later suppressed, and Wu Kui was executed. Wu Kui once studied under the great Confucian Yan Ziyuan, one of the forty-nine disciples of Yan Ziyuan, and was quite accomplished in Confucianism. Candidates are invited to discuss the Wu Kui rebellion, the impact of Wu Kui's rebellion on the prestige of Confucianism, and to think about the way out of Confucianism in the future.

Chen Ziyou laughed a little, he never expected that this question would be tested for what he had personally experienced.

But this last sentence is really intriguing, does it have an impact on the prestige of Confucianism?

It seems that Wu Kui was not only listed as a traitor to Wei, but also as a traitor to Confucianism.

Chen Ziyou didn't think much about it anymore, and soon put pen to paper.

Arguments, arguments, arguments.

After all, Chen Ziyou has gone through nine years of compulsory education, and has experienced the college entrance examination of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, and he often writes papers in the military theory course he majored in in college, so he is even more handy to write a thesis.

Soon, Chen Ziyou finished answering the paper, and seeing that the candidates around him were still bowing their heads and thinking hard, he smiled, didn't plan to stay longer, and raised his hand.

The examiner walked up to Chen Ziyou, and was a little surprised to see Chen Ziyou's fast answering speed, he picked up the answer sheet and asked, "Are you finished?" ”

Chen Ziyou nodded.

The examiner frowned, pointed to a few places in the paper and asked, "These questions are empty, don't you plan to write them?" ”

Chen Ziyou smiled: "No." ”

The examiner shook his head and signaled that Chen Ziyou could go, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, he just glanced at a few empty questions, all of which were some very classic Confucian classics, this candidate didn't even know these, and it was difficult to make great achievements in this exam.
