Chapter 606: The Collapse of the Imperial Examination
The businessmen who came to Chang'an City and were ready to talk to Li Yi about business finally returned with no interest, and the man who slandered Li Yi privately and was able to privately run the 'diamond ring business' was also imprisoned by the Yongzhou Government.
Moreover, Yang Gongren followed the vine and found out that the person behind it turned out to be the Fan Yang Lu family!
For this group of entangled and unacceptable harmful horses, Li Yi is too lazy to care about it now, just let Yang Gongren deal with it according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
Three months passed quietly.
The diamond ring business is now on the right track, and it has become the first jewelry that the noble women in the capital like to compare.
The jewelry shop of the Zheng family shop was also a great success and began to make money every day.
Li Lizhen's belly is getting bigger day by day, and now she is four months pregnant, and she is giving birth in the house, but Du Xiaomei's belly has never seen any traces.
Li Yi wondered in his heart: "Could it be that I can't do it?" ”
But to say that he can't do it, this situation is not right.
Obviously, Li Lizhi can hit with one blow, why has he been pampering Du Xiaomei for so long, but he hasn't hit the target yet?
It shouldn't be...
Simply, Li Yi checked Du Xiaomei's pulse, but Du Xiaomei's pulse was peaceful, and Li Yi didn't find any problems.
Li Yi had to comfort the aggrieved Du Xiaomei: "Little sister, let's not be in a hurry, take your time." ”
"Hmm..."Du Xiaomei nodded in a somewhat lost mood.
"It's okay, it may be my husband, it's not strong enough." Li Yi had no choice but to rub her little head, and took advantage of her spare time to read more medical books.
By the way, Li Yi also wrote out the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his memory to see if he could find a solution from it.
After a few more days, it was finally the day of the imperial examination.
Li Yi was in the house, studying Du Xiaomei's situation tirelessly, and finally found a suitable medicine list and prescribed a pair of medicines, but Lu Haisheng came to the Earl's Court at this time.
"Childe, Lu Haisheng asks to see you." Yue'er reminded Li Yi outside the door.
"Well, what's the matter with him?" Li Yi said casually, put down the brush, and finally wrote a solid decoction.
Yue'er didn't hide it, but said bluntly: "He said that he wanted to invite his son to go to the academy to encourage the students, after all, today is the day of the imperial examination." ”
"Uh...... Is it so fast, the imperial examination is today? Li Yi was stunned, and then came back to his senses.
He didn't expect that three months would pass so quickly.
As the chief examiner, he also has to enter the palace today.
"No need, you reply to him, let them play normally, and test their true level!" Li Yi waved his hand and said.
He didn't want to go to the academy, lest others say that he secretly missed the question for the academy.
After all, now, his identity has become a little different.
You have to avoid suspicion.
"Understood, Childe." But hearing Li Yi's words, Yue'er nodded, told Li Yi's original words to Lu Haisheng, and then accompanied Li Yi into the imperial examination room.
This year's imperial examination is extremely lively.
Because, not only many poor children came to the examination room to participate in the imperial examination, but even many children of the family came to participate in the examination.
That posture is almost the same as the college entrance examination in later generations.
Looking at the crowd of people, many people were full of excitement, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know, how many cannon fodder there are among these people, and they are still happy now, but it may not be necessary later." ”
After all, this time the imperial examination has changed.
I'm afraid that people who are still studying will have a great chance of becoming cannon fodder this time.
But all this is none of his business Li Yi.
Since they are unwilling to learn new things, and Li Shimin has already issued an edict explaining the importance of new knowledge, they want to succeed and pass the first, but they are afraid that they are just daydreaming.
If they want to blame, blame their own rejection.
Entering the examination room with Yue'er, the two examiners who had been waiting for a long time bowed to Li Yi respectively: "I have seen my uncle." ”
"Hurry up and excuse me." Li Yi smiled and waved his hand, looked at the two of them, and said happily, "This imperial examination will bother the two of you." ”
"Uncle is polite, everything has to depend on Uncle." The two examiners said with a smile.
"Hehe, don't say that." Li Yi shook his head with a smile, and said helplessly, "Actually, I'm just here to take a look, and I have to worry about maintaining order and other matters." ”
"It's all lowly and deserved." The two examiners responded with a smile.
Li Yi nodded and took the lead in entering the examination room.
The two examiners followed.
The students who took the examination were inspected one after another, and then walked into the examination room to participate in the annual imperial examination.
The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty originally took a long time.
Only this time, because Li Yi had revised and reformed the imperial examination, now, they only need to take the two-day examination.
No more cumbersome delays.
On the first day, you only need to take two subjects.
The next day, there are only two subjects.
Many students entered the examination room, and after hearing the news, they were a little unaccustomed to it, because the sudden reform made the students who were originally ready to fight a protracted war a little confused.
But this year's exam situation was like this, and they had no choice but to accept it and let the scholar go out and wait.
"Jingle bell..."
As the bell rings, the first exam officially begins.
Li Yi and the two examiners patrolled back and forth in the examination room, and many students from Datang Academy found that the examiner turned out to be Li Yi, and they suddenly realized why Li Yi didn't go to the academy.
So, they quickly settled down and did the question seriously.
As for those children of the family, when they saw the questions on the test paper and saw that the invigilator turned out to be Li Yi, they were all bad on the spot.
"The examiner turned out to be Li Boan?"
"Also, what kind of topic is this?"
"Is this the imperial examination?"
"How is it completely different from the previous imperial examination?"
Because the questions of their exams are completely the test papers sorted out by Li Yi in accordance with the college entrance examination system of later generations.
The exam paper is not long, only eight pages in total.
But there are a lot of questions above.
The students of the academy have long been accustomed to this form of examination papers, so they are very handy in doing the questions.
On the examination papers, there are not only the knowledge of the academy they have learned, but also the four books and five classics and the like.
But that doesn't bother them.
Because they've all learned.
The order of the examination room was quite stable, but there were also people who secretly made cheat sheets, but they were quickly taken out, registered, and not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for two years.
Time passed quickly, and the first imperial examination was officially completed in the morning.
"Turn in the papers, all stand up."
Li Yi shouted, and asked people to collect the test papers, and all the students handed in the papers.
At this time, outside the exam room.
Almost all the children of the family, as well as some who had never studied the knowledge of the academy, were full of lost souls.
The voices of complaining are endless.
"This year's imperial examination is simply perverted, who is this special question, crazy!"
"It's like, what kind of algebra, how do I know what the hell?!"
"This year's imperial examination has changed, why don't we know anything about it?"
"Lao Tzu memorized several books, and the result was ...... I don't need it at all..."
Many people have complained one after another, but on the other hand, the students here in Datang Academy are smiling and their faces are indescribably relaxed.
"How did you do in this year's exam?"
"It's not very difficult, it's a lot less difficult than the questions we train on weekdays, but I still haven't been able to do the last two big questions, and I don't have enough time."
"yes, that's supposed to be a pull-point question."
"Yes, the difficulty of the last two questions is too great."
"By the way, Brother Luo, how did you do in the exam?" At this time, a student from the academy couldn't help but ask curiously when they saw Luo Bingwang coming out.
Seeing this, Luo Bingwang shook his head and sighed: "I didn't do well in the exam either, and when I was halfway through the last big question, my son shouted to hand in the papers." Possible...... If it were Song Niangzi, she would have scored a full score. ”
"Uh......" Many college students were a little dumbfounded.
However, King Luo Bing is right.
At Song Xiaoyan's level, if she were to do this set of imperial examination papers, she would definitely be able to get a full score.
"Hey, yes, this question is a bit perverted..."
One by one, the students of the academy whispered and talked about going away hand in hand, but all the children of the family next to them were dumbfounded.
They actually felt that the questions of the imperial examination were less difficult than his usual training?
There are only the last two, and you can't make it?
And that Luo Bing Wang, who actually did half of the last course?
The children of all the families want to beat people at this moment.
"What the hell is this, is it possible that this time in the imperial examination, only the students of the academy can go to high school, and we are all cannon fodder?"
Everyone couldn't be more dumbfounded.
"Let's go back, let's talk to my father."
"Not bad!"
"It's not fair at all!"
Many children of the family complained and took the scholar back, planning to talk to their father, hoping that the imperial examination this time would be best to be able to do it again.
Otherwise, they are really cannon fodder.
But not long after the exam, a notice was pasted on Suzaku Street in Chang'an City.
"This imperial examination focuses on the selection of talents, and I hope that all students will live up to my expectations!"
A simple posting of the emperor's list repelled all attempts to admonish.
Later exams continued.
However, many people have gone crazy because they are even more ignorant of mathematics, and they even find that they seem to be unable to do even simple arithmetic.
On the second day, the imperial examination was completed.
All the students are waiting for the release of the results.
At this time, Li Yi had already received the test papers and ordered his father-in-law to bring the test papers into the palace for people to score the exam.
You only need to wait for half a month, and it is time to release the list.
