Today is the last day of the autumn examination of the imperial examination, Wang Junlin yawned, walked to the candidate named Fang Qiao, and took a closer look, these days, he found that this student named Fang Qiao was very honest, and the things in his clothes were really motionless, and he couldn't help but be a little happy.

What surprised him even more was that this Fang Qiao was really talented in his chest, although he did not show a few strategies, and his opinions were not taken in a grand way, but he was pragmatic and did not decorate vanity, which is exactly what Wang Junlin likes.

At this time, Fang Qiao had finished the last strategy test question, and he was looking at any mistakes with a tired face, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous when he caught a glimpse of Qin Anhou coming to his side again.

Although in the examination academy, Wang Junlin, as the invigilator, was not allowed to talk to the candidates, but after Fang Qiao tossed for a few days, his mind was already in a trance, and he actually dared to whisper: "Master Hou, does the student have a chance to serve His Majesty and the imperial court?" ”

Wang Junlin nodded at him seriously, but did not speak, and left with his hands behind his back.

Fang Qiao was confused, but then his heart moved, thinking of a possibility, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and his face showed ecstasy.

He has never been an honest man who sticks to reality, otherwise he would not have prepared a cheat sheet. Although he still had expectations, he knew that no matter how talented he was, the possibility of becoming an official in high school was very small, because there were only so many places in total, and there were more wolves and less meat, which was not enough for those noble lords and bigwigs in the court.

"But if you can get the favor of this world-famous Qin Anhou, there is a great possibility of your high school." Fang Qiao was secretly happy in his heart.

……

After noon, Wang Junlin began to get busy with the imperial history of the imperial history and the henchmen sent by Yang Jian in the palace, because some people began to hand in the test papers one after another, and at this time, the papers were first sent to them for processing, and then sent to the examiners who were mainly responsible for marking the papers by Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan in the back hall.

At this time, Wang Junlin was mainly responsible for the transcription of all test papers. Not only did he have to watch the officials below paste up the personal information of the candidates on the exam papers, and let the attendants sent by the emperor in the palace copy it. It is also necessary to disrupt the order in which the transcript of the test paper is bound to prevent the officials in charge of the three checks, examinations, and re-examinations from confirming the identity of the candidates from the order of the examination papers.

One by one, the test papers were sent, and the vague officials began to do it, using pre-cut hard and thick paper to seal and paste the candidates' names and places of origin, cover them tightly, and then write a specific serial number on the paper. Then the pasted exam papers were sent to another room to be copied. After the transcription is completed, after the same number on the book, there are special personnel to compare the original and the manuscript, and carefully check the transcribed text for errors and omissions, so as to prevent the candidates from being deposed due to the mistakes of the officials. When everything is reviewed, it will be bound in a stack of 200 copies, and then sent to the examiners led by Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan for correction.

There are more and more candidates handing in their papers, and the sound of seats moving in each compartment is one after another. After Fang Qiao checked repeatedly, he also got up and handed in the papers, and when he went out, like other candidates, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Jingzong, because only Xu Jingzong was calm and calm in this examination room at this time, and he was still sitting there motionless.

The content of the first imperial examination of the Great Sui Dynasty was far more pragmatic than that of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and it would never let the candidates chew on the words on the questions that set the body and limit the rhyme, let alone test the poems and songs that were useless to the strength and prosperity of the country and the people's livelihood, but accounted for half of the scriptures and the theories.

This is really strange and incomprehensible, the imperial examination was extremely pragmatic in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it has been somewhat deformed, and poetry and poetry directly account for a large part of the content, not to mention, even if there is a strategy, it requires ornate language and ignores pragmatism. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it reached an extreme, and even stupid regulations such as Baguwen appeared, and it became a mandatory rule for the imperial examination.

Xu Jingzong was indeed not in a hurry at this time, and he consciously answered the part of Jingyi very well, and it can even be said that there is no mistake in the slightest. As for the strategy, he has also deliberated on the draft several times, and has carefully revised the words and phrases over and over again.

To tell the truth, although Xu Jingzong first served as a staff member for Yang Su, and was valued by Yang Guang recently, he himself was actually very proud in his heart, and he looked down on the profession of a staff member very much, so even if he did a good job as a staff member for Yang Guang, he could become an official sooner or later, but he was more willing to prove his strength by participating in the imperial examination. Of course, with his sleek personality and understanding of the imperial court, he would not sit still, Yang Guang secretly asked people to take care of various matters for him, and he also smiled unceremoniously.

Therefore, in Xu Jingzong's view, his high school is already a nail in the coffin, a 100% thing. And he still hasn't handed in the papers, because His Majesty came to the examination institute in person before the autumn exam, and told all the candidates at that time that after the exam, he would personally preside over a palace exam and look at the top ten policy papers on the spot, and Xu Jingzong is imperative for the top ten, and even the first place, he wants to take the first place in the imperial examination for the first time in history, famous all over the world, famous in the annals of history, and famous through the ages. This is the highest ideal of any scholar, and for this ideal he can do anything, even against everyone, and fight with anyone.

In fact, Xu Jingzong has such lofty ideals, which is supported by real talent and practical learning, he is brilliant in writing, and he has a reputation for brilliant writing in the capital, and his mind is also very high, and he is very changeable. In particular, he has a very unique, pragmatic and reasonable view on various practical matters such as state affairs and political affairs, which have been affirmed by bigwigs like Yang Su and Yang Guang. At the same time, in the past few years, he has followed Yang Su as a staff member, and he has also developed a steady personality that is not impatient or impatient.

Therefore, even if others submit the papers, as long as there is less time, he is not the slightest impatient, he wants to pursue perfection, and the articles he writes, revised over and over again, not only the words are exquisite and gorgeous, but the meaning to be expressed in the article must be clear and clear, and there will be arguments and certain factual basis, and the most important thing is that the logic is extremely rigorous.

It was already night, and the candidates gradually left the examination hall, and after several days of torture, everyone was already unbearable, yawning, sour, and confused. There are still some candidates who are slow to write and bite the pen, and some candidates are asleep under the lamp and clothes, and it is not time yet, so naturally there is no examiner to care about him.

Time passed little by little, the shadow of the sun moved westward, and more and more candidates walked out of the door of the examination hall. Their expressions are either relaxed or lost, and of course, there is also regret and hope. But in any case, the fateful exam has ended, and almost everyone subconsciously secretly breathes a sigh of relief, which is actually similar to the mood of later generations of students after the college entrance examination.

In the examination room where Xu Jingzong was, the candidates except Xu Jingzong had already gone completely. The invigilator had already lit the candle for Xu Jingzong. They didn't dare to urge Xu Jingzong, and submitting the papers before the third watch was not considered overtime.

Xu Jingzong's policy has actually been written, and it has been revised beyond recognition when it was first drafted. Xu Jingzong calmly copied the words on the draft into the test paper, and word by word appeared on the paper uprightly. The ink was very thick, and the dark black handwriting penetrated through the back of the paper.

But Xu Jingzong didn't dare to dip the pen very full, but every time he wrote two or three words, he put the pen in the inkstone and dipped it, for fear of falling a few ink blots and staining the volume. As a result, the speed inevitably slows down.

"How many people still haven't turned in their papers?"

Wang Junlin couldn't go to have a tryst with Yang Lihua tonight, so he had already eaten dinner at this time, drank the tea soup to eliminate food, and asked the official dressed as the Nighthawk Envoy.

"There are about a hundred or so people." The Yiying envoy went around the examination room outside and looked at the situation, "In the examination room where Xu Jingzong is located, the Hou Ye asked him to focus on, he is the only one who has not yet handed in the papers." ”

The moon also rose, and the first quarter of the second half of the moon climbed the courtyard wall and hung on the treetops, and the silver glow shone into the side hall. The candlesticks were full of tears, and the candles that burned to the end flashed. The official hurriedly walked over and replaced it with a new one. After thinking about it, he placed the candlestick on a table in front of Xu Jingzong so that the exam paper could be illuminated a little.

But Xu Jingzong put down his pen at this time and rubbed his sour eyes.

"But it's written?" The two officials hurriedly came up and asked.

"Please wait." Xu Jingzong said unhurriedly. He did write it, but he hasn't checked it yet, how does that work? He would never allow any flaws in his test papers, and he wanted to make it impossible for anyone, including Gao Ying and Dangzi, to find a problem. Judging by his demeanor and tone, he didn't seem to know that he was the only one left in the entire examination room.

Wang Junlin and Nighthawk, who just entered the door to see this scene in their eyes, couldn't help but show appreciation, Wang Junlin was even more brilliant, bowed slightly, and said: "This surname Xu has such a heart, no matter how talented he is, this heart alone is far beyond ordinary people." ”

Nighthawk made the light in his eyes flash, and whispered to Wang Junlin: "The Xu official who changed the candle for Xu Jingzong is Gao Ying's person, and sure enough, as Hou Ye expected before, every time that Xu official takes advantage of the opportunity to change the candle, he secretly memorizes the content of Xu Jingzong's volume, and he must tell Gao Ying, with Xu Jingzong's reputation and importance in the East Palace, Gao Ying will definitely make a hindrance from it." ”

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Very good, everything is carried out according to the plan, tell your people, be careful, and never expose yourself." ”

The Nighthawk quickly glanced left and right, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he said in a low and solemn voice: "Don't worry, the princess has given a death order, and no one dares to be negligent and ruin Hou Ye's big business." ”
