When candidates enter the tribute court, they have to go through extremely strict procedures such as roll call, search, and receiving papers, and there are military bullets and bullets, and they look like prisoners.

There is an ancient acacia tree of the Yuan Dynasty next to the Mingyuan Building of the Gongyuan, and it is said that this is the place where Wenguang shoots bullfighting, so it is called "Wenchang Huai".

Its roots are born on the east side of the road, and its main trunk is curved to the west, so the crown is on the west side of the road. This acacia grows like a sleeping dragon, and it is said that this acacia is related to the candidate's literary luck. Therefore, the candidates have to worship in order to climb the dragon gate, so the Huai is the famous Huai of the capital.

I saw the ink plaque of "Shuntian Gongyuan" hanging in the middle of the gate, and the plaques of "Ming Jing Scholars" and "Seeking Talents for the Country" stood in the east and west.

The candidates gathered outside the gate by province and waited for the roll call to enter, and all the steps were no different from the township test.

The weather in February in the north is still unusually cold, but the bustling candidates gathered under the big brand room of "Tiankai Wenyun" only feel a little hot, because there are too many people, people are crowded, and it is not easy to move their steps.

The air was filled with a faint mist exhaling from the crowd and some impatient whispers that were already waiting, making the atmosphere of the usually quiet Shuncheonfu Gongyuan very lively.

When Le Wendu was waiting a little impatiently, he suddenly heard a dense sound of gongs and drums not far away.

"Alright, it's finally getting started."

At the end of the day, the sound of gongs and drums covered up the whispering just now, and the lifters of Shuntianfu crowded in front of the Xuanmen one after another, because the candidates understood that the sound of gongs and drums represented the time when the gates were opened and the candidates were let in.

And after the lottery, the first wave to enter the examination room were the lifters of Shuntianfu.

Soon, the Xuanmen of the Gongyuan gradually opened, and a team of officials surrounded a Ministry of Rites official rushed out.

This official was tall and thin, a thin middle-aged man.

This official Le Wen naturally knew that he had been in Shuntian Mansion for two or three years, and the officials, princes and nobles of all sizes in the capital had some intersections with him.

And this official of the Ministry of Rites once gave him a gift, wanting Le Wen to give him a few good words in front of the emperor, so that he, a seven-grade petty official, would be promoted to five grades, but Le Wen did not accept his gift, nor did he promise him anything, although this official was a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.

This official, although he is thin and thin, his voice is extremely loud, and he only heard him shout: "Toad Palace is open, I wish all candidates the gold list nomination." ”

"Open the gates!"

The officials who gathered around the officials, when they heard the loud voice of the officials, they also exhaled, and the sound seemed to be wandering in the sky, which made people's spirits unconsciously shocked.

The official of the Ministry of Rites looked at the candidates who were stunned in front of him, and then shouted loudly in his voice: "Okay, the candidates must enter the curtain in order according to the number, no one is allowed to make noise, no one is allowed to crowd, if you violate the rules, you will be immediately disqualified from the examination, and the official will now start to roll call, and the names will be checked forward, and you can enter after verifying your identity." ”

As soon as the words fell, the clerks and suppressors standing behind the Ministry of Rites official divided into several teams, holding a pamphlet in their hands, and began to roll call.

All candidates who take the MACC are required to report to the Ministry of Rites before taking the exam and receive a numbered ticket.

All examinations must be counted according to this numbered ticket before admission.

When he clicked on Lewen, the official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly gave Lewen a salute and said: "Lord Le, in a high position, you can still come to participate in the examination, and the enterprising heart of learning is really a model for my generation, and the officials are polite." ”

Lewen is also accustomed to the flattery of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the matter of checking the number plate and voucher should have been done by the secretary, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites made a special trip to please Lewen and had to go through the procedures for Lewen to enter the examination separately.

Le Wen also knew what this official was trying to do, so he waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, this is Le's number plate and receipt, the written certificate of the guarantor, and the relevant inspection procedures have been completed, and I am tired." ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites looked at Lewen's number plate, and then the others were all roughly looking, and he complimented: "My lord said that he was joking, as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, his character is naturally trustworthy, where does the lower official dare to search for Lord Le." ”

Thinking of the imperial examination in previous years, Le Wen was searched and supervised and searched only to shout indecent manners, but now this official didn't even search him, so he felt a little funny.

However, there was no entrainment on Lewen's body, for the sake of fairness, he still had to let the official search it, but the official was stunned, and thought that he had made a mistake again, and the frightened official's hands trembled.

After all, Lewen is the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and this official only searched on the surface, and did not dare to take off the candidates' clothes almost like other candidates.

You must know that in February in this capital, the cold is abnormal, so come again, weak scholars with poor physical fitness, if they don't do well, they will catch a cold and fever in the exam, but they can't go out during the exam, and the sick candidates don't want to go out, so they finally waited for three years, just go out, how can they be willing, in this way, when the exam is over, some of the candidates are about to die, and there are candidates who died because of this in previous years, which shows the cruelty of the imperial examination.

Although Lewen has martial arts and is not afraid of the cold, but he is a dignified third-grade official, if he takes off the red stripe, it will be extremely destructive to his majesty, even if Lewen doesn't care, these officials don't dare.

Successfully passed the search and supervision, because the officials of the Ministry of Rites still had to be named there, so he deliberately explained to the secretary office, and asked the secretary office to take Le Wen into the dragon gate, and found his own number house for Le Wen, but Le Wen saw that this house was really bad, but this was already the best house in the Gong Yuan, much stronger than the stinky "smelly number" and the "wide and intolerable" trumpet.
