Kyoto, various seowons, when a few bells are heard ringing from the palace, the literary examination officially begins.

Li Yi has already gotten his test paper, and the questions on the test paper are very wide, involving poetry, scripture and righteousness, governing the country, and even science......

However, the first few questions in the test paper made Li Yi's face smile.

Without thinking, he picked up his pen and began to write.

However, after the other candidates got the test papers, they skimmed through them roughly, and their hearts immediately cooled half, and they scolded the fat man who had just sold them the test papers.

Damn, I spent dozens of taels of silver to buy the secret scroll, but none of the questions were successful.

What's even more hateful is that they have been working all night for several nights in order to memorize the questions on those secret papers......

It's better not to buy it!

However, they didn't dare to scold in their hearts for too long, after all, the exam time was only two short hours, and all the grievances would be settled after the exam.

When they were about to do the question, they were stunned again.

Question 1: Ignoring air resistance, if two stones, one light and one heavy, fall from the same height, which one will hit the ground first?

There are four options below.

A: Heavy.

B: Light.

C: Landing at the same time.

Ding: I don't know.

Question 2: Wang Xiaoming's father has three sons, the eldest son is called Da Mao, the second son is called Er Mao, and what is the name of the third son?

Here are also four options:

A: Sanmao.

B: Four cents.

C: Five cents.

Ding: Wang Xiaoming.

The third question is very simple, with only one sentence: How many plum trees are planted in the hibiscus garden?

Needless to say, the first question is two stones at the same time, which is personally verified by His Majesty today, and it must not be answered wrong, the second question seems inexplicable, but it is actually an arithmetic question, the eldest son is called Da Mao, the second son is called Ermao, and the third son must be called Sanmao, send points.

As for the third question, how many plum trees were planted in the Hibiscus Garden, how do they know!

The third question was skipped first, but fortunately, the later questions began to go to normal, and the time was limited, and the talents began to work hard......

Outside the examination room, there are also college examiners who gather together to analyze a test paper.

They were satisfied with the overall quality of the test paper, but they were also helpless about the first three questions on the test paper.

The first two questions were personally written by His Majesty, and they did not dare to raise objections.

The question of the two stones falling to the ground has long been decided, if there are still people who answer incorrectly, they have to wonder if they are undercover agents sent by other countries, even if they are not, they don't even know the famous "small ring free fall law", it is too lonely and unheard, and too disrespectful to Your Majesty, so if you answer the first question incorrectly, you will be eliminated directly.

As for the second question, they can only understand that the person who answers this question incorrectly may have something wrong with his head, and a talented person with a problem with his head will naturally not be able to marry a princess, and those who answer this question incorrectly will also be eliminated directly.

The third question was personally written by Princess Shouning, and they didn't know how many plum trees there were in the Hibiscus Garden, but there was no score for this question, but there was a rule.

In the case of answering the first two questions correctly, answering this question correctly, no matter how well you answer later, you can directly enter the link of the martial arts test.

Li Yi sat in the examination room, almost sure that the first question must have been made by Li Xuan's shameless one.

And there is an 80% chance that he will directly eliminate the person who answers the question incorrectly.

As for the third question, there is no doubt that it was Shou Ning.

In her previous letters, she said that she had named each of the thirty-six plum trees in the Hibiscus Garden, and that she had not asked these people what the name of the tenth plum tree was.

He walked away for a moment and continued to answer.

Not far from him, the fat man bit the shaft of his pen and became distracted.

He took the exam not to marry a princess, but to make money by selling fake exam papers.

So he didn't plan to answer, but if he handed in the blank papers, would he be arrested as disrespecting the princess?

He can't take this risk, but he can't answer too well, if he passes the literary examination and martial arts examination, he will definitely be beaten to death by those who spent a lot of money to buy his test papers.

To be on the safe side, let's just answer the first three questions.

He picked up his pen and looked at the first question.

Ignoring air resistance, if two stones, one light and one heavy, fall from the same height, which one will hit the ground first?

This still needs to be chosen, it must be heavy, but, for the sake of insurance, he still plans to choose a wrong one.

Choose the right one, choose the light one, it seems to be a little too lacking, I don't know, is it a little too perfunctory, then just choose one to land at the same time.

After checking the "C" option, he moved on to the next question.

Wang Xiaoming's father has three sons, the eldest son is called Da Mao, the second son is called Ermao, and what is the name of the third son?

He was a little suspicious of the intentions of the questioner, and sent two questions in succession, which couldn't open everyone's grade......

The eldest son is called Da Mao, the second son is called Ermao, the third son must be called Sanmao, and the one who chooses four Mao and five Mao has never studied arithmetic, for the sake of insurance, he still has to answer this question wrong, well, choose Wang Xiaoming!

Seeing the third question, he finally frowned.

How many plum trees are there in the Hibiscus Garden, how do he know, and when he wanted to fill in a random number, he turned his head to look at the guy who was slamming the door next to him, and just happened to aim at his answer.

Thirty-six.

He wrote a "thirty-six" on the bar, then got up to hand in the paper and left the examination room.

He left late, and he was afraid that he would be beaten to death by someone outside.

There was no tea in the exam, and some people left the exam in advance, which caused a riot in the examination room, Li Yi was not disturbed, although most of these topics rely on memory and can be solved, but it still takes a lot of time to write all the questions.

Two hours later, the bell rang again, and all the examination rooms in Kyoto handed in their papers at the same time.

Everyone walked out of the examination room, some with sad faces, and some with high spirits.

"Hey, I didn't finish it......"

"I almost finished writing ......"

"How many plum trees there are in the Hibiscus Garden, who knows!"

"What about the fat man who sells test papers, he didn't hit a single question, see if I don't kill him!"

"Is there a mistake in the second question, Da Mao, Ermao, Sanmao, plus Wang Xiaoming, shouldn't it be four sons, how can it be three, I pointed out the mistake of the question, do you think they will give me extra points?"

……

After the end of the examination, the forbidden army will transport all the test papers to the palace as soon as possible, and will use nearly 100 academy gentlemen to complete all the test papers in one day, and select 100 Junyan who have entered the martial arts examination according to the ranking.

In Furong Garden, Shou Ning looked at his mother and concubine, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's obvious that I chose a concubine, but I can only ask half of the questions, and even the royal brother can make two, which is not fair......"

Concubine Yan looked at her and said, "If you don't ask them what the name of the tenth plum tree in the Hibiscus Garden is, you can have two more." ”

A eunuch walked in from the outside holding a tray, and said respectfully: "Concubine Niangniang, all the test papers have been marked, and the top 100 test papers are here." ”

Concubine Yan casually pulled out one, frowned, looked at the blank test paper, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The eunuch bowed down and said: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, although this person only answered three questions, he was one of the two people who answered the first three questions correctly, and according to the rules, he could directly enter the martial arts test." ”

Concubine Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Who is the other person?" ”

"The other one is the only one who has answered all the questions and is the only one who has achieved a perfect score." The eunuch said respectfully: "It is the first in this literary examination!" ”

"What's his name?"

"Muzi."

……

"Muzi ......" Shou Ning took a deep breath, walked over, and said, "Where is his test paper, show it to me." ”

The eunuch handed her the top paper.

She took the test paper, didn't open it for the first time, her eyes were even a little dodgy, and after taking a deep breath again, she slowly opened it.

After a long time, she closed the test paper and gently put it back.

She covered her face, pinched it, suddenly looked at Concubine Yan, and asked, "Mother, have I gained weight recently?" ”

Concubine Yan nodded and said, "Let you eat less on weekdays." ”

"Ahh Her face showed a shocked expression, she ran away quickly, ran to her room, stood in front of the mirror, pulled her elastic face, and said distressedly: "I'm really fat, what should I do......

After a moment of distress, a smile appeared on her face again, and she threw herself on the bed, rolling around and giggling......

Laughing and laughing, he sat up quickly, straightened his clothes and hair, stood in front of the mirror, smiled lightly, and acted like a lady......

……

It was only a day before the literary examination, and a huge red list had already been posted on the high palace wall.

This is the list of 100 people who passed the literary examination and entered the martial arts examination.

There were thousands of people who participated in the literary examination this time, and in the end, only 100 people remained, which can be said to be not one in a hundred, and most of them just came to see it and left with a sigh.

Naturally, there are also those on the list, standing under the list, full of surprise, and unwilling to leave for a long time.

"This surnamed Mu is a beast, and he can get a full score on that kind of test paper!"

"What's more, it is said that his political discourse part, even Shen Xiang and several adults in the court are full of praise, and bluntly say that the vast majority of adults in the court are not as good as him!"

"Also, his poems, the court is about to go crazy, and some people even say that his poetry and literary attainments are chasing King Jing......"

"Fortunately, there is still a martial arts test, when the time comes, we must join forces and clear him out first!"

"Who is that Peng Er, he is actually ranked second, I have never heard of it before, today's Kyoto is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon......"

……

Under the emperor's list, there was a lot of noise, some people were on the list, laughing wildly, and some people were off the list, and they were in tears.

In a corner of the crowd, a fat man looked at the name above the emperor's list, only under "Muzi", his face was as earthy as color, and his body trembled like chaff.

His lips trembled, and he couldn't stop muttering, "It's shady, it's shady, it's shady!" ”
