Gao Miao's words shocked the hearts of all the scholars, disqualification from the examination can be said to be the biggest punishment for them, many of them have been studying for decades, what are they for? It's not "learning literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family". Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is no longer good; Zhu Quanzhong, either he doesn't look down on these scholars, or these scholars don't look down on Zhu Quanzhong; This was similar to the situation in other feudal towns.

Finally, there is such a family as Huainan who is very good in all aspects, and they also look up to these scholars, if they are disqualified from the exam because of trouble, will they regret dying for the rest of their lives?

I only listened to Gao Miao and said: "You are all scholars, not three-year-old children, after listening to a few words of encouragement, you are excited, thinking that you have been greatly wronged, but how did you do in the exam, are you really not in your heart?"

Some scholars couldn't help but blush when they heard this, recalled what they had just done, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they hadn't done anything more radical just now.

As for Wang Ke, at this time, he said angrily: "Master Gao said that we are unreasonable, but the students have not read the answer sheets of those high school candidates, how can we convince the students?"

The other candidates also had an expression of eagerness to try, although they regretted their previous actions in their hearts, but they have all reached this situation, and how can they rest assured if they don't look at the answer sheets of other candidates.

Gao Miao said angrily: "These answer sheets are published for you to see, and naturally they will not stop you." But if you have hundreds of scholars here, if all of you come up to watch, when will you be able to finish watching? So elect yourself 10 candidates to be your representatives! As for this candidate......" Gao Miao pointed at Wang Ke and said coldly: "You are not among these ten people, because you can't represent these scholars." Of course, in order to make you die, you can also come forward with ten representatives. ”

Wang Ke's face was blue and white for a while, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Gao Xuan.

After a while, ten candidate representatives were selected and stepped forward to watch the posted answer sheets.

The ten candidates selected are usually more convincing, and they can't help but be silent after reading it, it is obvious that the top few answer sheets are indeed a lot better than what they did, and they have nothing to say.

And the answer sheets of the last few candidates on the list, although a few of these ten people felt that they were not worse than theirs after reading it, but the policy theory was originally very subjective in scoring, and in the case of a small gap, it was questioned on this ground, which belonged to nonsense, and these candidates were not so irrational.

As for Wang Ke, he broke out in a cold sweat, his face was like ashes, and he hung his head and was silent.

At this time, the representatives of the ten candidates discussed with each other, and then one of them stood up, bowed to Gao Miao, and then said: "The student Huzhou Shizi Chief Chen has seen Master Gao, and after the students have read the examination papers of the senior brothers, they are deeply impressed by their talents, and they have no opinion on their ability to take the high school entrance examination. However, students still have two questions that they would like to ask adults. ”

This person is dignified, quite generous, and when he speaks, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he has a good impression when he sees it; Moreover, the name of Chief Chen still remembers that his answer sheet is the ten "line test" he selected before, and one of the answer sheets that he did well in the policy theory, the policy theory did a very good job, but unfortunately the "line test" did a little worse, Gao Mian felt that if he worked hard after he went back, the next test should be no problem.

So Gao Mian couldn't help but slow down his tone and said: "If you have any questions, but it doesn't hurt to ask, this official must know everything and say everything!"

Chief Chen said, "Thank you, sir! The first question is that the students heard that the three senior brothers, Yin Chongyi, Liu Rengui and Yang Xin, were either related to the king or the chief examiner, Lord Yin, so did they receive special care for participating in the imperial examination? ”

Gao Miao saw that he said more tactfully, and couldn't help laughing: "You can rest assured that these three candidates are fair and just in the examination process and the subsequent marking process, and there is no possibility of fraud."

He announced to all the candidates the sealing system and transcription system adopted for this imperial examination.

These two systems can be said to be directly aimed at the many frauds that exist in the imperial imperial examinations today, and those scholars who have gone to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examinations are particularly deeply touched by this.

Therefore, as soon as Gao Miao finished announcing the two systems, they cheered loudly, and those doubts before were quickly drowned out in this cheer.

After a long time, the cheers stopped, and Chief Chen continued to ask: "The king has set these two imperial examination systems, which is really a blessing for our students who have the heart to take the imperial examination, and the students are deeply grateful. The second question of the students is that although the three senior brothers all relied on their true skills to pass the examination, with their identity and background, they should all have other ways to become officials, so why do they still come to participate in the imperial examination and occupy the quota of ordinary scholars such as me? ”

This question is also a point that other scholars are very concerned about, the number of admitted people is not much, if a few more are taken up by the children of those official eunuchs, the rest will be even less, and the possibility that these ordinary scholars can pass the test is even lower, so everyone looked at Gao Miao to see what he said about it.

Gao Miao suddenly sneered and said, "Why are they allowed to participate in the imperial examination?" This question makes this official what he should say about you scholars? In the past, the sons of those eunuch families could become officials without participating in the imperial examination, but you all felt that it was unfair; Now let them participate in the imperial examination to become officials, but you also feel that it is unfair, do you think it is fair to let them not be officials? ”

The candidates suddenly didn't know how to answer, although Chief Chen knew that there were still loopholes in Gao Mian's answer, such as whether the sons of those official eunuchs would have to participate in the imperial examination in order to become officials in the future, Gao Mian didn't say this.

However, Chief Chen hesitated for a moment but didn't ask, he knew that this kind of thing was actually difficult to avoid, and it wouldn't be of much use to ask, plus he was confident that he would be able to take the exam next time, so after turning around and discussing with other candidates, Chief Chen bowed to Gao and said, "Thank you Master Gao for solving the doubts of the students and others, and the students are grateful!" With that, he and the other candidate representatives retreated into the crowd.

Gao Miao saw that the candidates had no doubts, and knew that this turmoil had almost passed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is Huainan's first imperial examination, if these failed scholars are allowed to make trouble, it is impossible to say that things will make a big fuss, and then it will not only have a huge impact on the imperial examination that Huainan has just started, but also will not be beneficial to winning the hearts and minds of the people. It's a good thing for both parties to get through it like this now.

Therefore, he painstakingly persuaded the scholars, asking them to study with peace of mind, do their studies well, not listen to the wind or rain, and have their own opinions.

"Three days later, the king will personally preside over the final round of selection in the Jiedu Embassy, all candidates who have passed the second selection, these three days must be well prepared, don't think that no longer eliminate people and take it lightly! It is important to note that the final ranking will not be determined until three days after the exam. And this ranking will not only accompany you for a lifetime, but also have a great impact on your future prospects, remember to prepare for life. Gao Miao finally advised, this is it.

Behind him, Song Qiqiu and other scholars on the list also hurriedly picked up the joy brought by passing the re-election, and began to calm down to prepare for the final exam three days later.

Jiedu envoy Fuzhong, for Gao Miao's disposal method at the scene, Yang Wu expressed his affirmation, the first imperial examination, it is best not to be in chaos.

Three days later, the final round of the Huainan imperial examination was officially held at the Jiedu Embassy.

Because there is no elimination, only ranking, and the "palace test" is actually equivalent to an interview, which is an assessment of the candidate's comprehensive ability, so there is no longer a "line test", only the assessment of strategy, that is, the assessment of today's current politics.

However, Huainan is now an eventful season, and there are too many topics that can be used as a policy discussion, so it has also caused a headache for everyone for a long time in determining the topic, and finally decided to govern the new southern states as the topic.

With the continuous attack of Wang Maozhang's army, now the land of Zhejiang, except for Hangzhou, Mingzhou and Taizhou, which are still in the hands of Qian Biao, the rest of the states are occupied by Huainan, but how to govern the local area is a difficult problem.

This kind of question is very large, but it is also easy to distinguish the candidate's knowledge, experience and other abilities. Those who die of reading may only be able to talk in general terms about this topic, and only those who are truly talented can put forward concrete and useful strategies.

However, there is also a disadvantage to having such a big question, that is, it is basically impossible for candidates to think about the problem clearly and thoughtfully in a short period of time.

For example, at this time, Song Qiqiu was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the test questions placed in front of him, although he was very smart, but after all, he was only seventeen years old, and he was a little lacking in experience and knowledge, and as a native of Jiangxi, Jiangxi had not fought for so many years, and he had no experience to talk about how to govern the newly acquired land, so he couldn't help but have a headache about this policy topic.

At this time, he heard someone approaching in front of him, and couldn't help but look up, only to see a young noble son standing quietly in front of him, looking at him with interest, but it was Yang Wu, the prince of King Wu who he had seen that day, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Today's imperial examination Yang Xingmi only sat in the examination room for a while, said a few words of encouragement and left, but Yang Wu stayed here to invigilate the examination.

However, unlike the invigilator who sat at the front of the first and second examinations, Yang Wu, the invigilator, likes to walk around and go among the candidates to read their answer sheets. Therefore, Song Qiqiu couldn't help but be a little nervous when he noticed Yang Wu coming to him.

Fortunately, Yang Wu only stood in front of him for a while before leaving, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and began to think carefully about the exam questions.

The time for this "palace examination" is relatively sufficient, from morning to afternoon, there are a total of five hours, and there is only one question, so Song Qiqiu is not in a hurry to answer the question. Waiting until noon, Song Qiqiu had some specific thoughts in his heart, although it was still a little imstrict, but at this time, half of the time had passed, and the surrounding candidates were all working hard to write, so he could only pick up the pen and start answering the paper.
