Chapter 0194 The Title of Poetry

After two body searches, more than 20 candidates with cheating materials were found to be dragged away in crying, and these discovered candidates were destined to never be able to participate in the imperial examination in the future.

Qian Heng was calm in his heart, standing in the crowd of candidates after the search in the front yard of the Gongyuan.

On the other side, Feng Yu stared at Qian Heng with an unkind face.

Originally, Feng Yu and a few confidants and close friends around him had already calculated several ways to target Qian Heng.

However, because of Qian Heng's assassination, most of the methods prepared by Feng Yu were directly invalidated, and two candidates who originally had the same hatred as him directly chose to stay away from Feng Yu, and even directly canceled the letter of guarantee for Feng Yu as a guarantee, in case Qian Heng turned against Feng Yu and involved them.

After all, Qian Heng's assassination this time caused too much movement, and most people didn't want to cause Qian Heng this big trouble.

However, Feng Yu didn't give up, just when Qian Heng was preparing for the exam and entering the examination room, there were several people arranged by Feng Yu who wanted to take the opportunity to leave something on Qian Heng, but it was a pity that these scholars and the like, although they wanted to plant things on Qian Heng, match point cheating materials and the like, they could not compete with Qian Heng, who was in martial arts.

Without waiting for the other party to get closer, Qian Heng had already noticed it, and shook out the small things prepared by the other party in advance, which frightened the rest of the people and did not dare to use any small actions against Qian Heng.

If you give up everything and want to pull Qian Heng into the water, if Feng Yu really wants to get out, it may not be impossible to do it, but the few confidants and friends around Feng Yu don't want to ruin Qian Heng's imperial examination and ruin their future.

Especially just now, among the candidates who were found to be carrying cheating materials, there was a person arranged by Feng Yu, who originally planned to wait for the candidates to enter the examination room, and then take advantage of the rest at night to quietly stuff these entrained materials into Qian Heng's examination room, and frame Qian Heng.

Unexpectedly, the entrained information was discovered in advance, and Feng Yu's last small method against Qian Heng was directly abolished.

Feng Yu's hatred for Qian Heng has reached the point of no return, at this time, he can only curse Qian Heng for being blocked in the exam, and the more unsatisfactory the better.

For Feng Yu's eyes, Qian Heng immediately noticed that when he met the candidate who wanted to stuff something for himself at the gate of the Gongyuan, Qian Heng guessed that this must be Feng Yu's means. However, at this time, Qian Heng was also a little puzzled, if a single Feng Xizai, who had been forced to become a master, could say that so many candidates could sacrifice their imperial examination prospects to target themselves, this is not something that a single Feng family can support.

Qian Heng couldn't help but be a little admired, Xu Yu's consideration was really accurate, this Feng Yu, who was not giving up, only by completely defeating him, could he make those who were hiding behind Feng Yu's back and targeting him become honest.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qian Heng's mouth couldn't help but provoke a sneer, turned around and followed the crowd into the examination room inside.

The examination house in the Gongyuan, speaking of the examination house, is actually a rain shelter of more than one square meter, the front and back are made of bricks and soil, with a roof, and the two sides are directly set up with coarse cloth to cover the upper half of the examination house.

In the examination room, against the inner wall is a wooden plank less than two feet wide, which is made of brick and stone to serve as a seat for the candidates, and at the same time, if it is night, you can recline on it and take a break.

Opposite the wooden stool was a waist-high wooden plank, which had already been covered with straw paper for the exam.

Sitting in his own examination booth according to the number plate, Qian Heng brought the basket containing food with him and placed it under the wooden board of the bookcase, then he tidied up his clothes and sat down.

After the chief examiner's order, a gong sounded, and there was a special number plate officer, holding the exam questions, along both sides of the examination room where the candidates were located, walking back and forth twice, and the entire examination room entered the official examination.

Of the three days of exams, the first one was an unexpected poem.

Since the reform of the imperial examination led by Wang Anshi during the reign of Shenzong, there has been a habit of taking scholars by virtue of scriptures and righteousness, even if Wang Anshi's innovation was overturned later, this method of taking scholars by virtue of scriptures and policies has not been completely eliminated, but sometimes, some poetry questions will be added.

Even so, the content of the exam, in addition to poetry, is still dominated by the content of the Great Sutra and the Combined Scripture. Only the last article was hand-picked by the emperor and put down.

If there can be poetry, it means that only one of the Great Sutra and the Contemporary Sutra will be taken for the exam.

When he saw the title of the poem, Qian Heng knew that his first day of the exam would become very easy.

The title of the poem has only one word "book", and as for what "book" it is, no one will say, and no one will say it.

In my impression, Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji is the most favored scholar with outstanding talents. Not only that, this time, the chief examiner, in addition to Cai Yi because of his father's shadow to enter the official office, Wang Hao is a serious Jinshi background, although it is rumored that Wang Hao's talent is vain, but he is also a person with excellent minds, especially Zhao Ji's preferences, he is extremely proficient.

As long as the words can impress Wang Hao, you can pass the level of this poem.

Qian Heng transcribed the word "book" on scratch paper, raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and did not use those long speeches, but chose the most well-known quatrain in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhu Xi's "Reading Books".

Watching the book, Qian Heng has a deep memory, especially the moral contained in it, the author of this kind of poem, as the pioneer of the Confucian Cheng Zhu theory of science Zhu Xi, even if his poems are quatrains, how can they be simple.

Half an acre of square pond is opened,

The sky and clouds and shadows hovered together.

Q: Is that clear?

For there is a source of living water.

A seven-character quatrain, first there is a scene, and then there is lyricism.

After putting the whole poem on the scratch paper, Qian Heng smiled, if he couldn't even pass the poetry of Confucianism, it would be too much to say.

Tear the exam paper, lay out the paper, carefully fill in your name, and transcribe the whole poem.

In the past few years of coming to the Great Song Dynasty, Qian Heng has been under the guidance of Huang Shang, and his penmanship is very good, although it cannot be compared with Cai Jing or Zhao Ji, but because of the basic stroke order practice of later generations, whether it is a stroke or a bone, there is already a clear independent style.

It's just that the style of calligraphy used at this time is closer to Mi Fu's calligraphy.

The pen is beautiful and clean, and at first glance, it is very good.

Putting away the pen and drying the ink on the scroll, Qian Hengcai pressed the scroll on the desk, greeted the forbidden army sergeant in charge of patrolling, and prepared to hand in the paper.

It was just after noon, and Qian Heng had already handed in the paper of the word fu.

The sergeant took the paper and handed it to the officer in the room at one end of the examination room.

The reputation of the pasty official is not obvious, and when he saw that there were only four sentences on the scroll, his expression changed slightly, especially when he saw the name of the scroll, the pasty official shook his head for a while.

This Qian Heng, why is he so frizzy?

But when his eyes fell on the verses, the face of the famous official became wonderful again.
