"The exam hasn't been held yet, and the exam questions for the palace exam are not in a hurry at this time, I'll help you consider it when I'm free one day." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Lin Ye naturally didn't want Xiao Mu to continue to bother him here, so he used the word "drag" in anger, wanting to delay this troublesome matter to the future, and send Xiao Mu away first.

However, it may be that Lin Yi was busy fiddling with the needle and thread in his hand, and his attention was a little inattentive, but what she said just now was to dig a pit and pit herself, because after all, Xiao Mu just said that the questions of the palace examination gave him a headache, and he didn't explicitly say that he needed Lin Ye's help - although he essentially meant this, Lin Yi could have hummed and agreed, and he would have sent him away, but the answer she just gave not only revealed the fact that she knew something about the questions of the ancient imperial examination, At the same time, it is equivalent to agreeing to help Xiao Mu with this favor, even if it is not today, but no matter how you say it, you are also finding yourself a trouble.

"That being said, but I haven't experienced this kind of thing at all, and I don't have a bottom in my heart at all, so the sooner I settle down, the better, so as not to delay it for a long time and cause some accidents." Xiao Mu saw that Lin Ye really knew something about the imperial examination, and made it clear that he wanted to help himself, so he decisively climbed up the pole, and there was a great deal to implement this matter today, that is, at this moment, and if he didn't implement it, he would rely on Lin Ye to not leave.

Lin Ye finally realized that he had just leaked his mouth and gave Xiao Mu a chance to take advantage of, and looking at Xiao Mu's current posture, Lin Ye also knew very well that if he didn't give him an explanation, today's elm head would probably have to rely on himself and not leave, after all, Xiao Mu, the emperor, was idle all day long, and some of them were like time.

So Lin Yi had no choice but to resign himself to putting down the needle and thread he had just picked up, and then asked Xiao Mu, "Tell me, where are you unable to find a clue and need me to help you?" ”

"It's true." Xiao Mu rubbed his hands together and replied with some embarrassment, his words were full of cramped feelings, "To be honest, I don't understand the entire imperial examination at all, so I don't know where I can't find a clue, because I ......"

"Okay, okay, I understand your situation." Lin Yi said that she had understood, and stretched out her hand to stop Xiao Mu from continuing to say those meaningless words, "All in all, your situation is that you clearly know that you have a lot of things that you don't know, but since you don't know anything about the imperial examination itself, you can't be sure what you don't know, is this what it means?" ”

"Well, that's probably the case." Although it was difficult to admit his ignorance, Xiao Mu still scratched his head and admitted what Lin Yi had concluded.

"In that case, it seems necessary to give you some simple knowledge of the imperial examination." Lin Yi rubbed her head, and realized more and more clearly how much work she would bring to herself if she just said the wrong sentence, "All in all, if a scholar in the Ming Dynasty wants to be admitted to the Jinshi in the end, he has to go through a total of six exams on the road of the imperial examination. After passing the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, he obtained the merit of the student, that is, the merit of Xiucai, and then went to the township examination to obtain the fame of lifting people, and then finally entered Beijing to catch the exam, and participated in the general examination and the palace examination......"

"Oh, I see." Xiao Mu seemed to have learned "1+1=2" in the classroom, and suddenly said, "I only remembered the fame of Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi and so on, but I didn't know that I had to go through so many exams. ”

Lin Yi nodded, and then continued to explain, "Yes, let's start with the county exam, a scholar who has not yet taken the county exam is called a Tongsheng, no matter how old he is, even if he is seventy or eighty, he must be called a Tongsheng......"

"Wait!" However, Lin Yi had just started to say a few words, but he was interrupted by Xiao Mu again, and just when Lin Yi was thinking about whether there was something wrong with her, Xiao Mu continued to explain, "I came to Zongdao to ask me to consider the exam questions of the palace exam, and now those people have already arrived in the capital and are about to participate in the exam, as for the county exams and township exams in front of me, I don't think I need to talk about it this time......

"Well, that's fine, you won't be able to remember if you say too much, but you'll get all confused." Lin Yi ridiculed Xiao Mu's IQ again, and at the same time thought in his heart that this elm head had learned to be clever and lazy, but this was not a bad thing for Lin Ye, after all, in this case, he could also spend less time talking, and just explain to Xiao Mu the invitation for the meeting test and the palace test.

So Lin Yi continued, "Then let's talk about the examination, the scholars who came to Beijing to participate in the examination have all passed the previous township examination and obtained the meritorious figures, and then if they pass the examination again, they can basically get the fame of the jinshi, and finally become a ......winner in life on the road to the imperial examination."

"Wait!" When Lin Yi said this, she heard Xiao Mu's same "wait a minute" again, so she looked at Xiao Mu with some displeasure, planning to hear what he wanted to say this time, "Didn't you just say that there will be a palace exam after the exam, how can they get the Jinshi merit after passing the exam, so what's the use of the final palace exam?" ”

"I haven't finished yet." Lin Yi continued to explain with some impatience, "After passing the examination, the scholars can basically lock in the fame of a jinshi, and the palace examination after this will basically not continue to eliminate candidates, or the palace examination presided over by you, the emperor himself, is equivalent to the 'equal election' in the future, as long as there are no unexpected changes, these candidates can finally obtain the fame of the jinshi." ”

"Then what do you want me to do in the temple test?" Xiao Mu asked puzzled.

"Isn't that just right for you?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically, "If the final palace examination is equivalent to the 'differential election' in the future, and some candidates will also be eliminated, with your knowledge level, can you decide who will be admitted and who will be eliminated?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't ......" Xiao Mu had to honestly admit that after all, he didn't know anything about the scriptures, although he had some memories of Chongzhen, which allowed him to remember the scriptures and meanings that Chongzhen had read before, but Xiao Mu couldn't read all the scriptures before the palace exam.

"But of course, this palace test is not completely useless, after all, the power to determine the ranking of the final new jinshi is still in the hands of you, the emperor." Lin Yi first hit Xiao Mu hard, and then relieved slightly, "In other words, the final 'point champion' is still up to you to decide." ”
