Jia Ke is really not good at seeing these, and his teacher Li Wenbin refused, so he put his eyes on Zhang Chaoxin, which means that Zhang Chaoxin asked the question.

Zhang Chaoxin saw what Jia Ke meant, and then lowered his head and pondered.

"Lord, do you have pen and ink?"

Jia Ke listened to Li Deshan's instructions next to him: "Prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for Lord Zhang." ”

Li Deshan got the order, and immediately went out of the hall, and after a while, two little eunuchs came in carrying a small crime, on which were pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Zhang Chaoxin confessed to Jia Ke, and then came to the back of the small table.

Then I started to think and write while I was on top, and after a while, I drafted this year's exam questions.

Zhang Chaoxin blew on the piece of paper in front of him to make the ink dry faster, and then he stood up, came to Jia Ke, and handed the prepared exam questions to Jia Ke with both hands.

Jia Ke took it over and watched it carefully, to say that he was also very curious, wanting to see what this ancient imperial examination was, although Jia Ke had been in the Red Mansion World for many years, he had never entered the examination room, so he was really curious about what they were examining.

After Jia Ke looked at it carefully, he felt terrifying, compared to the modern college entrance examination, this exam question is simply ten times more difficult and not worth it.

Originally, the test was divided into three sessions: the first test was the "Four Books" and the "Five Classics" and the four Paths; In the second session, one article was examined, five articles were judged, and one edict, one edict, and one table; The third test is the five ways of the scriptures. The questions and answers are mainly from the "Four Books" and the "Five Classics". The writing of the test paper is a strict eight-strand essay program, and there must be no breakthrough in the content and format of the answers.

Jia Ke now feels that his scalp is numb, but fortunately, when he crossed over to the Red Mansion, he decided to seek promotion with military merits, if he went to the imperial examination like Jia Zhu, I am afraid that he is still a penniless concubine.

After Jia Ke finished reading the exam questions, he said to Zhang Chaoxin, who was standing below: "Is it too difficult?" ”

Zhang Chaoxin laughed after listening to Jia Ke's words, "The lord doesn't have to worry, this question is already simple, the lord doesn't know, the most difficult thing in this imperial examination is not the township and the Hui exam, but the Tongsheng test." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Jia Ke was also a little curious when he heard this, according to Jia Ke's understanding, it should be the easiest to take the Xiucai test, and the most difficult to get into the Jinshi, how did he get here, but it is easier to be a good Jinshi, and it is the most difficult to rely on Xiucai.

"Lord Qi, the Xiucai exam is only decided by the county order, so the likes and dislikes of the county order are very important, plus the number of people who take the Xiucai exam is very large, and each county has a quota every year, so the competition is much more fierce than the Jinshi examination."

"And the test show has to go through three times, which are the county test, the government test and the hospital test, which of these three will be brushed down if there is a little mistake, these three exams, those who can still show talent are the best among people, so people have the saying that Jin Xiucai and silver lift people."

After listening to Jia Ke, he understood a little, the ancients said that everything is inferior, only reading is high, and anyone who has a little money will send their children to study, so that the number of places for more than a dozen at a time is too small, so the competition for the test is so fierce.

Jia Ke also nodded after hearing this, at this time he understood that Xiucai was difficult to test, and now he couldn't help but think of that Zeng Guofan, this Zeng Guofan can also be regarded as talented, but when he took the Xiucai exam, he actually took the exam more than a dozen times before he passed the exam. When it came time to take the examiner and Jinshi, it was smooth sailing, which showed that the competition for the Xiucai test was fierce.

"The exam questions should be done according to this, don't leak them when you go back, and send someone to me to pick them up in person on the day of the exam."

After Zhang Chaoxin and Li Wenbin listened, they both bowed their hands together and said, "I understand." ”

Besides, the literary style in the capital is now at its peak, because people from all over the country have come to the capital to prepare for the exam, so thousands of people have raised people, and the capital is chaotic.

And if these people are a little older and have some experience, those who are young and ambitious will begin to speak freely.

During this time, Jia Ke kept receiving news from two secret agents, all of whom were talking about the government and politics in the restaurant, criticizing Jia Ke for being a living Cao Cao.

Jia Ke now understands Cao Cao's feelings back then, his every move is under the surveillance of these people, and he also uses a magnifying glass to take a closer look to see if there is anything missing.

Jia Ke is also young and a little cautious now, so he ordered Wei Kun to memorize the names of these people, and when the time comes, he will personally read the exam papers of these people, but if there is a slight mistake, he will be immediately degraded.

Jia Ke: This is to let them remember who is the master today?

And many of them are still in the dark, they only know that they are talking there, but they don't know that their names have been recorded in Jia Ke's small notebook, and this time the test is probably more than lucky.

In the current capital, in addition to the mansions of Zhang Chaoxin and others, the most lively is Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion.

Because everyone knows that Zhang Chaoxing's road is now blocked by Zhang Chaoxin himself, and Li Wenbin is a moral gentleman, so only Jia Zheng can take the road.

As long as he wins Jia Zheng's favor and he says a few good words in front of the prime minister, I'm afraid he will ask this subject.

And Jia Zheng also likes these feelings of being surrounded by the princes very much, so these days, he has a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on the fifth day, and he chats with these scholars very happily.

And after every feast, Jia Zheng would recruit Jia Ke to his side when he was free, and intentionally or unintentionally recommend the young talent he thought to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke can't hide from this matter, Jia Zheng is his father after all, in this era when feudal etiquette rules the world, his father has a life, where do you dare to disobey?

Therefore, Jia Ke had to endure the irritability in his heart every time, stand beside Jia Zheng respectfully, and listen to his admonitions.

However, Jia Ke will occasionally pay attention, after all, the people who can leave their names in Jia Zheng's eyes are somewhat capable, and they should not be too bad at least in terms of the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise they will be exposed in front of Jia Zheng in a few clicks.

And since these scholars have some achievements in the Four Books and Five Classics, and then they are very sleek, they can find Jia Zheng in front of him, which shows that he is sleek, and such people can still be used.

Jia Ke thinks that as long as his position is stable, so that these people have no chance of betrayal, these sleek people will not put their net worth and life on the line for the sake of loyalty and patriotism.

You don't see, those who dare to rise up against injustice are all young and vigorous students with public welfare in mind.

Ten days later, the test began.

At the gate of the Gongyuan in the capital, before dawn, thousands of people had already gathered, all of whom were waiting for the triennial examination to begin.

And Jia Ke also came to the Prime Minister's Yamen early, waiting for Zhang Chaoxin to come to receive the exam papers in person.

Soon, Zhang Chaoxin came to the Prime Minister's Yamen, he came to the lobby, and saw Jia Ke waiting there for a long time, so he hurriedly gave him a salute first, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, Zhang Chaoxin, the main examiner, came to pay attention to the exam questions." ”

Jia Ke didn't say anything, and took out the exam questions that Zhang Chaoxin had prepared last time from the cabinet next to him.

But Jia Ke did not hand it over to Zhang Chaoxin immediately, but put it on the previous crime and changed several of them.

And Zhang Chaoxin, who was standing below, had a chill in his back, fortunately he did not bend the law for personal gain, otherwise if something happened to him, his head would not be protected.

Are there still fewer examiners who died because of fraud in the imperial examinations?

After Jia Ke corrected the exam questions, he said to Li Deshan next to him: "Give it to our big exam." ”

Li Deshan took the exam question, came to Zhang Chaoxin, and held it to him with both hands.

After Zhang Chaoxin took the exam questions, he didn't leave immediately, but stood there and asked respectfully, "What else does the lord have to explain?" ”

Jia Ke thought for a moment, and then said: "This exam is the first scientific examination since I took power, and I can't make mistakes. ”

After listening to it, Zhang Chaoxin understood what Jia Ke meant, this Jia Ke wanted to choose some sleek people, after all, Jia Ke's name is not right now, if it is a sleek person who has passed the Jinshi examination, they will not dare to talk nonsense. If it was those Leng Touqing, they would naturally ignore it, and when the time came, they would embarrass Jia Ke, should Jia Ke punish them?

After Zhang Chaoxin understood what Jia Ke meant, he surrendered his hand to Jia Ke and said goodbye.

Zhang Chaoxin came out of Jia Ke and returned to the Gongyuan in an official sedan chair, at this time the Gongyuan had been closed and locked, and only a small door was open, which was to be completely closed when Zhang Chaoxin came in.

Zhang Chaoxin entered the Tribute Courtyard and came directly to the lobby of the Tribute Courtyard, where Li Wenbin was already sitting waiting for him.

Li Wenbin saw Zhang Chaoxin coming in and quickly stood up to give Zhang Chaoxin a salute, although Li Wenbin is now the deputy chief examiner, but his official position is only a petty official of the sixth grade, and Zhang Chaoxin, the Minister of Military Aircraft, is 108,000 miles away from the Ministry of Industry.

Zhang Chaoxin came to the main seat, sat down firmly, waved his hand to let Li Wenbin sit down, and then said: "The lord has already ordered, this time the exam will choose more people who are old and serious." ”

Li Wenbin nodded and said in agreement: "The lord is still far-sighted, if those Leng Touqing want to become officials in other places if they pass the exam, I am afraid they will have to train for a period of time, and these old and serious ones, as long as they study for a year or two, they can be released." ”

Zhang Chaoxin nodded, then took out the exam paper and handed it to Li Wenbin, "Let's start announcing the exam questions." ”

Li Wenbin took the exam question and glanced at it, and he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, it turned out that this exam question had been marked several times, and it was changed again.

But Li Wenbin did not change on the surface, he came to the outside of the lobby and said to the scribe waiting next to him: "Start announcing the exam questions, let the lifters be cautious and not make mistakes." ”

Then came the three days of waiting, which were simply torturous for these lifters.

They have to nest in a small shack about one meter long and wide for the past three days, it can be said that they can't eat well, sleep well, and think hard about the exam questions, which ordinary people can't persevere.
