Chapter 721: The Imperial Examination
Hope, hope, hope.
The exciting thing is finally about to begin.
The imperial examination is finally about to be held.
In the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty, the content of the examination was not Baguwen.
The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were divided into the Ming Jing and Jinshi Examinations.
The main examination content of the Ming Jing subject includes the Sutra and Moyi. The scriptures are a bit like the filling of modern exams, the test questions are generally excerpts from the scriptures and cover a few words, and candidates need to fill in the missing words; As for Moyi, there are questions and answers about the scriptures.
The examination of Jinshi mainly requires candidates to compose poems and fu on specific topics, and sometimes add scriptures.
However, this year's content is a little more, adding explanations of scriptures, laws, comments on the current situation, and proposing solutions to the evils of the times.
Tens of thousands of students gathered together with high morale.
Wake up in the morning.
Sunny.
A large group of people, holding the number plate they received the day before, were waiting nervously.
It was a big day for everyone.
Either obscurity or blockbuster.
The whole world is also paying attention to this exam.
Whether you can move forward and change your destiny depends on this time!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
“……”
One drum after another rang out.
Several people shouted together: "Begin, candidates enter!" ”
"Candidates enter!"
"Candidates enter!"
"Candidates enter!"
“……”
One by one, the candidates were even more excited.
The gate of the Gongyuan slowly opened, and then the candidates walked in turn.
The Gongyuan Temple opened half an hour earlier to enter.
Wang Xuance and Wei Xuantong walked forward with a smile and came to the small house with their number plate.
Wang Xuance arched his hand at Wei Xuantong and said, "Brother Wei Xuan, I will go in first, and I wish Brother Wei a lucky star in the gold list." ”
"Lend you good words." Wei Xuantong laughed and said, "I also wish you a prosperous gold list title first!" ”
Both were full of confidence.
The two separated, and then entered the small house.
There are many small houses in Gongwon.
It was paved with bricks, and inside there was a bed, a table and chairs.
The roof is glass, so you can look at the blue sky from lying down.
There is also a toilet under the bed.
Candidates will stay here for two days and one night.
Life and rest exams are all in this small room.
Fortunately, it's early March, and if it's July or August, it can heat people to death.
There are many such rooms, and a candidate is in the room, looking at the test paper with an expectant face.
The paper of the test paper is very good, very long, about two meters long.
There are fill-in-the-blank questions, comprehension questions, and arguments and strategies.
Because of the printing of this era, the text is still very large, and these scholars still use brush characters to write, if the paper is not big enough and not long enough, I am afraid that it will not be enough to write.
Now.
In the midst of the royal palace.
Li Shimin and Li Tai sat cross-legged, and in front of them was a game of chess.
Li Shimin is holding a sunspot, and Li Tai is holding a white child.
I don't know what I'm thinking, Li Shimin is always a little absent-minded.
There were some people standing next to them, also waiting quietly.
"Break your dragon."
Suddenly, Li Tai Heizi fell, smiled faintly, and said, "Dad, you lost again!" ”
"Hey." Li Shimin sighed.
"Something?" Li Tai frowned, his face showed excitement, and said, "Dad, what are you unhappy about?" Say it and make me happy and happy. ”
"Did you secretly take a fancy to the palace maid, but the palace maid ignored you? Or did you sneak out of the imperial city recently to meet a beautiful girl? ”
"Don't worry, I'm a very strict person, you can tell me about this kind of private thing, I will never tell others, at most I will write it in my diary."
“……”
At this moment, Li Tai seemed to have some gossip.
However, speaking of which, if the gossip of this royal family is written in a diary and passed on, maybe it will become a witness to history in the future.
Maybe what can make you civilized in the future may not be your own throne or the title after death.
Rather, it is a diary written by himself, a diary that records the privacy of the life of the Tang royal family.
And next to him, a living man who was in charge of recording the emperor's living notes was also holding a pen, and his face was full of excitement.
It seems that Li Tai is not the only one who likes the emperor's gossip.
"Humph!" Li Shimin glared at Li Tai fiercely and said, "What I am concerned about is those tens of thousands of scholars!" ”
"What is there to worry about? Exams, meals, exams, food and accommodation, the results are out, those who should be officials are officials, and those who should get out of the way are out. Li Tai said, "What is there to worry about? ”
"They are the future of my Datang, the hope of Datang!" Li Shimin sighed and said: "We Datang just need these thousands of ordinary scholars to be able to make the entire Datang function, otherwise how can we achieve the great rejuvenation of Datang?" ”
"So how many people are you going to take this time?" Li Tai couldn't help asking.
"Two hundred." Li Shimin said.
"So much?" Li Tai was a little surprised.
Because, since Li Shimin became the emperor, a streamlining policy has been implemented, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the least in history.
What will recruit so many scholars at once this time?
"Many?" Li Shimin smiled faintly and said, "It's not much, it's not much, I'm still worried that it's not enough." ”
"Another big move this year?" Li Tai couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded, with a hint of smugness on his face.
It's time!
Some states should not exist, and there is only me in the world!
In the past, he was ambitious, but his strength did not allow it, but now, since the Tang Dynasty is strong, how can he not do the matter of Qin Shi Huang?
Although, people in history have repeatedly scolded Qin Shi Huang as a tyrant, but I have to say that he is the first emperor of the ages.
Without Qin Shi Huang's first great unification, it is estimated that China in later generations would have been divided into dozens of countries like Europe.
An emperor through the ages, Qin Shi Huang deserves it!
Li Shimin wants to be the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the first emperor to unify the entire earth!
"Since you're not at ease, why don't we go and take a look?" Li Tai said with a smile.
"That's a good idea!" Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Go!" ”
"Dad, not yet."
"Huh?"
"We have to pretend to be disguised, and then go, otherwise if we appear, those scholars still have the heart to take the exam?" Li Tai couldn't help but say.
"Well, Qingque has a point." Li Shimin thought about it, if he, the emperor, appeared in the examination room, the entire examination room would be a little chaotic, if not lively.
This has a great impact on the candidates who are taking the exam.
