The content of the scientific examination is the same as the college entrance examination in later generations, which is nothing more than the four books, the trial poems, the five scriptures, poems, fu, strategies, treatises, sexual theories, and holy oracles. I listen to a lot, but these titles, poems, and essays all have a certain format, and you can't commit temple obscurity (the name of the late emperor), imperial name (the name of the current emperor), holy obscurity (the holy name of the ancestor Confucius) and the name of your own ancestors.

For people like Lin Liu, who were accustomed to routines in their previous lives and have the skills to remember in this life, it is actually not difficult to do, but the difficulty is only whether the content written has depth and whether it can enter the eyes of the examiner. After all, the questions of this scientific examination do not have a fixed and accurate answer like the science in later generations, and the subjective factors of the examiner have a great influence.

Of course, it is not difficult for Lin Liu, it does not mean that it is not difficult for other people, think about the examination questions of this county test, and require: try two books and essays, and one poem with five words and six rhymes.

The question given by this county official is also tricky, there is no way that this kind of scientific examination province will not upgrade the difficulty, I don't know how many people will win, but there are so many places, so will you be admitted or not admitted at that time?

Don't think that readers are all fools, in private they will answer like the candidates of later generations, and everyone knows which people will be on the list. Don't think that literati won't make trouble, one or two people who use their power to cheat may not find out, but if there are many people, it's strange that literati won't make trouble, isn't the palace exam just someone suspecting the examiner of cheating and then making trouble in front of the emperor, and then the emperor has no choice but to hinder public opinion and can only take another test, which later became a tradition.

This time, there are two four-book essays, one of which is entitled "Banggi Thousands of Miles Stop by the People, and the Other is Entitled "Those who follow the law of the previous kings have not passed, and the country will perpetuate".

The titles of these two articles are a combination, the first half of the sentence is the four books, and the back is the Five Classics, there is no way to conduct the scientific examination for so many years, how many words are there in the Four Books and Five Classics, even if one sentence is used at a time, it has long been used up for so many years, if you retake the questions you have taken before, this is not a loophole for later generations? After all, there is no rule that prohibits "raiding" in the land of China, especially Confucianism, after becoming the boss, he does not know how much knowledge he has absorbed for his own use, and he himself is not upright, so he naturally cannot restrain others. If a candidate attacks a champion essay, do you dare to say that it is not good? When the time comes, do you let him hit or let him not hit?

Therefore, as early as the Ming Dynasty, a certain smart county official invented this kind of combination, which is called "interception and matching question", so that there are more tricks that can be played, and the combination of the four books and five classics is ever-changing, and no one wants to take shortcuts.

But this kind of truncation question also has a depth of difficulty, the most difficult is this kind of thirteen does not rely on, on the surface it seems that the first half of the sentence and the second half of the sentence have nothing to do with each other, it is completely inexplicable two sentences, but if you want to be on the list, you must establish a relationship between them, which must be logical, and you must explain the way of Confucius and Mencius. For this kind of question, Lin Liu feels that the test is not reading comprehension, but imagination and brain holes.

As a person who has experienced the information bombardment of the 21st century, Lin Liu felt that his imagination and brain hole were still quite big, and after thinking about it, he began to write ideas on scratch paper, which is the so-called problem solving.

With the idea, the next thing is a little simpler, and after a while, Lin Liu wrote out a flowery article, and then adjusted the structure in accordance with the order of the eight-strand text "breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting the topic, entering the topic, starting the stock, middle share, back share, and bundle strand", and carefully read the article several times silently, to make sure that the tone is harmonious and catchy, and there is no offense in the use of the sentence, and then take out the answer paper.

The handwriting of the Zhongchao scientific examination is also very important, only the township examination and the meeting examination will have a special person to copy the paper in order to prevent cheating, and other exams are directly marked, so how this handwriting affects the results very much.

Write your name aside, then copy what you write in block letters, and then make sure there are no typos before putting it aside to dry.

Then I started thinking about the second essay and the trial poem.

There are not many topics, and an article is only required to be less than 700 words, and if you write too much, you will be deducted points, so it is not particularly difficult to see. But if someone with a big brain comes to take the test, I'm afraid that the sun goes down and this exam is over, and there is no way to solve the question, no wonder there are gray-haired grandfathers who are still taking the county test.

Lin Liu's movements are not fast, but they are not slow, he finished writing before noon, ate a little dry food, took a nap, and then carefully put the exam papers, and then packed up the desktop and the exam basket, I don't know how long I was stunned, and finally remembered the bangzi, Lin Liu hurriedly lifted the exam basket and took the test paper and handed in the paper.

Although the county examination is the first step of the scientific examination, but the seriousness is far less than the township examination, although because the county examination room is not allowed to hold the lamp, so the examination time is actually over after the sun sets, but because the candidates' qualifications are different, so there are two times after the afternoon to release the card, the first time to release the card, the candidate who finished writing in advance can hand in the paper, and then carry the examination basket behind the official out of the county school gate, the second time is to hand in the paper, do not hand in the case of cheating.

There are candidates who submit their papers in advance everywhere, and Lin Liu is not the only one who submits their papers in advance in the county exam.

Out of the gate of the county school, no one greeted Lin Liu, and Lin Liu didn't bother to talk to others, and it was not too late to wait for them to be on the list, so he carried the test basket alone and passed past the relatives, friends and servants of the children who had been waiting outside, and walked to the place where the Lin family parked the carriage before.

At this time, Master Lin and Lin Ruhai had already gone home, but Zhang Cai was still waiting by the carriage with a few small servants, Zhang Cai's sharp eyes saw Lin Liu at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Liu carry the examination basket, "Second master, there is something suddenly in the house, the master and the uncle have gone back, do you see if you go back to the house directly, or ......?"

In fact, he should have gone back to his home directly, but Zhang Cai was cautious by nature, and he never did this kind of thing as the master's master.

Lin Liu was helped into the carriage by the hands of a small servant, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Steward Fu sent someone back from Duzhong, saying that there was something important." Zhang Cai said in a small way, the things in the capital are no big or small, and it is very likely that a small thing can lead to the downfall of a powerful minister.

What can happen in the capital?

Lin Liu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Go home directly." ”
