Chapter 525: The First Imperial Examination (3)
March 25, 277 AD, two quarters (six o'clock in the morning).
Under the guidance of the invigilator, after walking to the corresponding examination room and taking a seat, Zu Ti yawned for a long time.
It's so tiring.
Ugly got up and squeezed out of the inn in Chang'an City with a lantern. When I arrived at Suzaku Stadium, it was already a moment after the end of the day. More than 13,000 candidates, with an average of five candidates accompanying each candidate. Together with the soldiers and officials who maintained order nearby, 70,000 or 80,000 people surrounded the stadium.
Although Guan Yi was very foreseeable and designed the entrance to the stadium for a full thirty. Moreover, the number plate given to the candidates in advance also indicates in advance which area the examination room where the candidates are located, and they should enter at the corresponding entrance and exit of the stadium. However, even in modern times, it is not uncommon for spectators watching football matches to go through the wrong entrance. Not to mention the current generation in this era, who have not really entered and exited in large stadiums in an orderly manner.
So, in the dark of night, there was chaos outside the entire examination room. The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the two thousand Yulin who were sent to maintain order took a lot of effort to straighten out the chaotic situation. From the ugly hour to the third hour, he has been busy until the end of the hour. The candidates were finally able to enter the venue in an orderly manner.
After entering the examination room, he was first carefully checked by several officials wearing black civilian uniforms at the door with candles and carefully compared their faces. One of the officials also gave a simple sketch and text description of the candidate's appearance that he had seen in person...... Then he was carefully searched by several big men in a narrow area. After some tossing, he waited until Zu Ti entered the examination room, found his own examination room and sat down. It has long been exhausted.
Although the body of the twelve or thirteen-year-old is so immature, it causes the tiredness to be very strong at this time. But his strong will still supported him to raise his eyelids and observe everything in the examination room with blazing eyes.
Fan Yangzu's family is also an official eunuch of many generations, and on the ground in Youzhou, it can be regarded as a family. But compared to the local Lu family, it is much inferior. In the previous Jin Kingdom's nine-grade Zhongzheng system, the ancestral family in each tasting, at most, up and down, more often is the most basic qualification line in Zhongzhong.
Of course, the ancestral family is extremely angry: why is it that because of the problem of origin, the surname Zu will always be suppressed by the surname Lu?
Therefore, Guan Da Sima cleared the household tax, and the ancestral family was of course very dissatisfied, and even thought about armed confrontation. It's just that the rapid demise of the Guangling Chen family prevented them from taking this step.
However, for Guan Yi to launch the imperial examination system, the ancestral family raised their hands in favor: the surname is Lu, let you see it this time! The boy of our ancestral family, who is more powerful than your surname Lu, is not a star and a half!
As far as Zu Ti is concerned, he actually does not meet the definition of a perfect scholar: this is a bold and casual guy with an open-minded nature.
Since childhood, he has been a child's head, and naughty mischief is indispensable. But studying is good grades. When I made the teacher hate my teeth, I had to be petted as a baby. As for the elders in the family, well, reprimands or something are usually indispensable. But at least in this exam, the ancestral family pinned their hopes on him to surpass the children of the Lu family.
Not long after Zu Ti entered the examination room, the sound of beating gongs sounded almost simultaneously in various places in the examination room.
"Oh~~Oh~~~Oh~~ Candidates are quiet, and those who dare to speak out will be expelled from the examination room immediately!"
As hundreds of invigilators kept shouting back and forth with gongs, the entire examination room quickly fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's three quarters now, and there is still a quarter of an hour before the official start of the exam. Now read out the ...... of discipline in the examination room"
After hundreds of invigilators finished reading the discipline of the examination room in their respective areas, hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette came over and began to distribute the examination papers.
"Whew~~ I finally got the exam paper." He took a long breath, carefully took the exam paper with both hands, and swept his eyes slightly over the exam paper. Zu Ti almost shouted out with joy: "Zi Yu asked Yu Zigong and said, XXX, or with it?" "Hey! In the middle, I can memorize it all!
Looking further down, it goes without saying that many fill-in-the-blank questions are completely points given. The so-called interpretation of scriptures, poems and songs, etc., are also similar to sending points. I have been seeing the last question: with the theme of spring blossoms, when writing a fu and a poem. Zu Ti has already made up his mind: Today's subject, it is stable!
In the end, it is the nature of a teenager, and at this time, Zu Ti did not read the question seriously and answered carefully. I saw him pick up the pen and brush the dragon and phoenix dance, but for most of the hour, this guy had already finished answering the test paper.
Gently shaking the small bell on the top of the examination room, an invigilator hurriedly walked over: "What's the matter?" ”
"Students have finished answering, please submit the paper."
"Oh~~" The invigilator walked over with a blank face and took out a cloth bag from his sleeve. Then he took out a black cloth bag from the cloth bag, and carefully wrapped the candidate's name, age, place of origin and other places filled in by Zu Ti, and wrapped it on both sides.
Then, immediately, another official came over and took away Zu Ti's test paper.
After this step, the invigilator whispered, "Come with me." Then Zu Ti quickly walked out of the examination room with the examiner.
"Less...... Young master? How did you come out so quickly? But what's wrong? ”
"Wrong? Hahahaha, what's wrong? This topic is so simple! This son is simply overwhelming! ”
As a subordinate, of course, it is impossible to say anything to his young master about being careful about capsizing the boat. At this time, he could only accompany the smiling face and take over the things in Zu Ti's hands: because the exam lasted for ten hours, candidates were allowed to bring their own food into the examination room.
"Hey, it's so easy. You won't have to bring these things with you tomorrow. ”
"Uh...... Young master, this tomorrow's test is said to be difficult. Is it better for the young master to be careful? ”
"It's okay, it's okay." He shook his hand very indifferently: "Today's exams are all taught by Mr. Meng Xueli." Although I only studied in Mongolia for a little more than a year. But the gentleman said that I had almost finished reading the textbooks for the first three years of school. So, tomorrow, I should be soon! ”
……
Of course, on the second day, Zu Ti came out of the examination room very quickly, and he was the first in the audience.
"Hehehe, young master, came out so soon? Today's topic is also very simple, right? ”
"Ah~~! Hahaha, most of today's questions, most of my sons don't know! ”
"Huh? Then why did the young master come out so quickly? ”
"If you can do it, you will do it, and if you can't do it, you won't do it. This boy wants to be happy when he does things! I look down on those guys who can't do it and have to work hard in the exam room, can they stay up for a few more hours and will do it? Yes! Wrong, it's not this kind of person that Ben Gongzi looks down on the most, it's the kind of guy who has to check it over and over again even after he has completed the test questions. Verbosity! It's not refreshing! ”
"Hehehe, what the young master said. Will the young master come back tomorrow? ”
"Come on! Of course it will come! My son may not be hired this time. But it's always good to look at the actual exam questions! And what's the last one? Arguments! Express your own opinions on national affairs, and such opinions must be presented in front of the Son of Heaven and the Great Sima. How can such a good thing not come? ”
However, when the morning of the third day came, Zu Ti rushed to Suzaku Stadium. But I suddenly found that the number of scholars who came to refer to today was at least thirty percent less than yesterday!
"Hahahaha, it seems that I am not the only one who did badly in the exam yesterday! Hmph, these undetermined scum! ”
After spitting out the groove, Zu Ti once again entered with confidence.
Get the exam papers, ouch! It is actually necessary to analyze the similarities and differences of the talent selection system in the past dynasties! This is great: if it weren't for this imperial examination system, would this son have a chance to fight fairly with the children of the Lu family? That is to greatly criticize the evil nine-grade zhongzheng system!
Just when Zu Ti was writing hard, he suddenly felt that the light in front of him suddenly dimmed.
When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man about eight feet tall, with a ruddy complexion and three long beards under his chin, looking at his test paper with interest.
Of course, the person who came was Guan Yi. As a traverser, after seeing Zu Ti's name in the list of candidates this time, of course, he paid special attention to this Zu Shizhi who "smelled the chicken and danced and hit the middle stream". It just so happened that Da Sima's official duties were not particularly large today, so he personally came to watch the celebrities on this historical plane.
Seeing Zu Ti looking up at him, Guan Yi smiled slightly, and then Nunu asked very softly, "Shaft, why don't you continue to answer the question?" ”
"The mighty Guan Da Sima of Huaxia is coming, and the kid is trembling and doesn't dare to answer."
Ouch, you still know the story of Zhong Shiji when he was a child, it's amazing.
Kindly stretched out a hand, took Zu Ti's test paper, and hurriedly took a look: Well, the rhetoric is intense, mostly the venting of all kinds of indignation, the real material or something, there are still big shortcomings. Sure enough, these teenagers may be talented, but to truly become talents, they still need time accumulation and practical exercise.
I thought of the test paper that I had just read Wang Dun's answer to a mess, and then thought of this Zu Ti's paper. Guan Yi smiled with relief: History has changed, and the future must be different!
