The efficiency of the Gongyuan is really low, the candidates' packages were not delivered until dusk, many candidates were almost frozen to death, and there were many candidates who were hungry, Zheng Fatzi next door was a typical example, he was so hungry that he almost fainted, and even did not hesitate to rattle the bell twice in violation of the rules to urge his own food, but his violation was not recorded by the examiner, only a verbal warning that did not itch or hurt.

When the package arrived, Li Yanqing only heard a hungry wolf-like roar from the next door, followed by a wolf-like munching sound.

Although Li Yanqing was also hungry, he did not lose his temper, but first carefully put away the test papers, and then put the package on the table and untied it, inside were three food boxes.

Li Yanqing had to admire the rich experience of the shopkeeper Wang, the shopkeeper Wang specially wrapped fifty yuan in a red cloth and put it in the package, now the red cloth bag is gone, but the food box and the food inside are well preserved, otherwise after being checked by the soldiers, it must be a mess.

The staple food is steamed buns, as well as cured meat, sausages, boiled eggs, kimchi, and more than a dozen oranges, the portion is very large, enough to eat for three days, although it is all cold food, but the examination room will serve a large bowl of hot tea, and the stomach will not be too uncomfortable.

At this time, the soldiers began to deliver tea, Li Yanqing had a full meal, drank hot tea, went to the toilet, then wrapped his body in a blanket, and fell asleep with his head.

Two days passed in a flash, and at noon on the third day, the consequences of many candidates' lack of planning began to appear, the most serious consequence was that the questions were not completed, but the answer sheet was gone, such candidates were by no means a minority, at least Li Yanqing saw with his own eyes that several scholars around him asked the examiner for papers and were rejected and warned.

Slightly better is that the font in the front is larger, and in the back the font is smaller and smaller, and the distance between the lines is all squeezed together, which is typical of anticlimactic and snake-tail curls, which will definitely affect the final score.

Li Yanqing completed all 30 test questions on the afternoon of the third day, and except for the three questions of 5,000 words, which he did not use straw paper, he answered all the other test questions on straw paper.

He carefully read the ten answer sheets, and he was very satisfied, there was no trace of modification, the layout was symmetrical, the font was not big or small, the whole volume was very pleasing to the eye, he waited for the ink of the paper to dry, then wrote his name, and pasted the name, and finally used a small wooden clip to clamp the ten papers together.

At this time, the drum that allowed the handing in of the paper sounded, and there was still half an hour before the end of the exam, at this time, the candidates who should have done it had already been done, even if they did not finish it, but it was also because they could not do it for various reasons, either the endorsement was not good, or the answer sheet was gone, and the scholars no longer hesitated and handed in the papers.

Li Yanqing listened to the movement next door, he really admired the fat brother next door, he was eating all the time, and he fell asleep at night, snoring loudly, fortunately, Li Yanqing had the foresight and went to bed early, while the candidate on the other side was in pain, and it is estimated that he did not sleep all night.

Although Zheng Rongtai didn't seem to use his pen much, Li Yanqing still found the clue, and the next night, around midnight, a sergeant quietly brought him a roll of paper.

His father must have hired a master of forgery to copy the answer to him in imitation of his handwriting, otherwise with this fat man's writing speed, even if he copied the answer, he would not be able to finish it, and even copy it wrong.

Li Yanqing rang the bell, handed the roll and straw paper to the examiner, and then packed the package and followed the flow of people out of the gate of the Tribute Academy.

．．．．．．

The second exam lasted three days and two nights, and all the candidates were exhausted, and they went back to the inn to rest and prepare for the third equally severe exam.

Li Yanqing and Zhang Xian hurried back to the inn, Zhang Xian's face was not very good, it seemed that the second exam was not satisfactory, but Li Yanqing understood his character, Zhang Xian lacked consideration in doing things, and he must have started writing directly without planning, which finally led to the lack of test papers, and the paper was very ugly.

But the imperial examination is so cruel, not only to test knowledge, but also to test a person's ability to do things, it seems that the details are not taken into account, but it just reflects a person's ability to do things is insufficient.

As soon as the two of them walked into the inn, the shopkeeper Wang greeted him and said, "Brother Qin'er checked out in the afternoon and left." ”

Li Yanqing and Zhang Xian glanced at each other and asked in unison, "Where did he go?" ”

"I went to the state to study, he left a message for you, let you take the exam well, don't worry about him, he feels that he is more suitable to take the Taixue route, he said that he can't stand the cruelty of the imperial examination."

Shopkeeper Wang can speak well, and Qin Liang's message is very vivid, Li Yanqing nodded, in fact, Qin Liang took the ninety-seventh place in the county exam, and his fate has basically been decided.

Zhang Xian sighed, "It is very likely that I will also go to the state school to study, in fact, it is not bad, you can take the Taixue exam after three years of study, if you are admitted to Taixue, what is the difference between raising people to study Taixue in the exam?" ”

Of course, there is a difference, how can a student be so easy to get into, but Li Yanqing was a little tired and didn't want to say anything, so he said to the shopkeeper Wang: "Please ask the shopkeeper to send a good meal to my room and bring a pot of wine." ”

"Little official, please go and rest, I will arrange to send it immediately."

Li Yanqing and Zhang Xian broke up and dragged back to the room with tired steps, his body was not tired, but his mind was like a mudslide, a chaos, he didn't want to do anything, he didn't want to read any books, he just wanted to fall back and sleep well.

.........

The third exam is also the big head, the test strategy and theory, whether it is the Ming Jing or the Jinshi subject, there is this type of question, it can be said that it is the key to the final ranking of the candidates, the test takes two days and one night.

There are no question papers, only question boards, there are only three questions in total, one policy and two theories, among which the strategy questions are extremely important, and they are also the core of the whole examination examination.

The countermeasure question made Li Yanqing a little stunned, 'Analyze the preparation strategy for recovering Yanyun'.

The imperial examination is also a mirror, and some of the ideas of the imperial court can also be seen from the title of the imperial examination, and they actually proposed to recover Yanyun, which means that today Zi already has the idea of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Li Yanqing is very clear about that period of history, six years later, in the fourth year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan led an army of 150,000 to the north to conquer the Liao State, trying to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop, but was defeated by the tens of thousands of Liao troops who were improvised and returned, so that the Jin army saw through the decay and weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, this question does not require candidates to write how to recover Yanyun, but to test preparation strategies.

In general, preparations for war will be expounded from various aspects, such as the people's will and support, grain and grass materials, requisition of troops, and strengthened training.

But Li Yanqing decided to write not only about these aspects, but also about the current situation in the Liao State and the impact of the establishment of the Jin State on the entire war situation.

The enemy of the Great Song Dynasty to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun was not entirely the Liao State, but also included the Jurchens of the Jin State, and the recovery of Yanyun was by no means a short-term achievement, but a great cause that could only be achieved after decades of long-term preparation by the concerted efforts of the government and the opposition.

'The Jurchens, originated from the Yan Dynasty, flourished in Wanyan, and its chieftain Akuta took the fierce security and restraint as the system, condensed the barbarian tribes, created a strong army, and fought a battle out of the river, winning more with less, and the trend of northern Liaobei was initially determined......

Li Yanqing thought while writing, and it took him three hours to finish writing this preparation strategy for recovering Yanyun with more than 3,000 words.

．．．．．．．

At night, Li Yanqing tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep, not because of the earth-shattering snoring of Zheng Fatzi next door that affected his sleepiness, but because of the preparation of recovering Yanyun, which made him think about it and be anxious.

At the beginning of last year, the Jin State had been established, and in another ten years, the shame of Jingkang would come, and the Son of Heaven Song Huizong was still drunk with gold, appointing traitors, and not thinking of making progress, not only had no precautions against the rise of the Jurchens, but also had unrealistic ideas about Yan Yun.

I know the history well, but I am soft-spoken, and it is difficult to stop the crisis from approaching day by day.

Li Yanqing did not pity the Second Emperor of Huiqin being forcibly taken north by the Jin people, he was just heartbroken, the great rivers and mountains were ravaged, thousands of good people wept helplessly under the iron hoof, the beautiful homeland became ruins, and the century-old prosperity was burned in the flames.

He was born and grew up in Si, this is his homeland, those kind and simple fathers and villagers, how can he Li Yanqing change history and protect the beautiful homeland of the Great Song Dynasty and thousands of fathers and villagers from the ravages of foreign races?

Unconsciously, Li Yanqing was already in tears, he was lying on the wooden board, looking at the starry sky in the night sky through the small door, the bright stars seemed to change the opportunities of history, so clear, but so far away, out of reach.

Opportunity, he needs to seize the opportunity, but in small Xiangzhou, where should he go to seize the opportunity?

At this time, there was a thunderous snoring sound from Zheng Fatzi next door, and the corners of Li Yanqing's mouth couldn't help showing a wry smile, he stared at the starry sky to find an opportunity, but he didn't know that the opportunity was beside him, and the opportunity was at his feet.
