After learning that there was no fraud in the process of the first day, and gave the whole process of the examination a good start, Xiao Mu was also relieved, and after sending Luo Yang Xing away, he remembered the misunderstanding between Hu Yun and the man named Shi Kefa, and he still couldn't help laughing--then Xiao Mu made a very easy decision, that is, to tell this story to Lin Yi again, it is obvious that for this kind of interesting thing, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So Xiao Mu came to Lin Ye's dormitory again, and after sending away the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting around as always, Xiao Mu was just about to open his mouth to tell Lin Ye about this interesting matter, but Lin Ye spoke before him, "You came just in time, I have something to remember to tell you." ”

Listening to Lin Ye say that there was something, Xiao Mu felt that it must be much more important than the interesting story he wanted to share with her, so he planned to listen to Lin Ye first to see what it was, and when her matter was finished, it would be too late for him to start "telling stories".

So Xiao Mu opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I thought about it for a while later, and found that you don't have to worry about who to ask for the questions during the palace exam." Lin Yi replied, and he directly stated the final conclusion before explaining the reason, which was indeed very much in line with Lin Yi's usual style.

Of course, Xiao Mu was already accustomed to Lin Ye's style, so he asked a question very cooperatively, so that Lin Yi could continue to explain the reason for her conclusion, "Oh? Why is that? ”

After this sentence was asked, Xiao Mu also felt a little imperfect, if he acted according to the lines in the TV series, he just said the last sentence "How to say this" seems to be more in line with the current atmosphere.

Of course, Xiao Mu's idea was completely off-topic, and he didn't know how far he had gone, so he quickly pulled his thoughts back and listened to Lin Yi continue to explain:

"Speaking of which, it's because I don't know much about the imperial examination in ancient times." What Xiao Mu didn't expect was that Lin Yi's explanation actually started with exposing his own shortcomings.

So Xiao Mu hurriedly picked up the conversation and said, "Yes, you also said before that the questions in the imperial examination are all written in Baguwen, which has almost no literary value, so it is not within the scope of your research." -- It means that "there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the arts", and it is completely understandable that you do not know the questions of the imperial examination.

After all, Xiao Mu didn't know anything about the imperial examination questions, and he obviously didn't have the qualifications and position to ask Lin Yi to be so proficient, just like a student who could only score zero in every exam was not qualified to laugh at a student who could only score 60, but if a student who could score 60 is willing to help him cheat, this student with a zero score will naturally not only not think that the other party's score is low, but will also be grateful and thankful.

However, Lin Yi didn't care about Xiao Mu's words, but continued, "I only remembered after you left today, in fact, there is still a clear difference between the palace test and the meeting test. ”

Lin Yi said that there was a slight pause here, so as a zero-point player, Xiao Mu hurriedly asked very cooperatively, "Oh? What's the difference? In the same way, after the question was asked, Xiao Mu felt that it seemed more appropriate to replace it with "I would like to hear it in detail".

"A big difference." Lin Yi replied, "The examination requires three first-face tests, and each test takes three days, and they need to test a series of aspects such as scriptures, four books, policy questions, tables, judgments, edicts, etc., and you can see the number of questions that Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru finally came up with, which is very revealing." ”

"That's right, the two of them did prepare a lot of exam questions." Xiao Mu nodded again and replied, agreeing with Lin Yi's statement, and then added, "And I can't understand almost every question." ”

"But the situation of the palace examination is very different." Lin Yi naturally didn't care about Xiao Mu's final addition, but continued, "After all, theoretically speaking, the palace examination is to be presided over by the emperor himself, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is naturally a busy man, so he will definitely not have so much time to accompany these candidates for nine days and nine nights in a row." ”

Lin Yi's words sounded ironic, what "theoretically", and what "every day", although it didn't sound like a problem logically, it always made Xiao Mu feel a little weird.

"That's true, after all, there are only more than 300 days a year, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty is so wide, and a lot of things can happen in nine days that need to be handled by the emperor personally." Xiao Mu naturally didn't express his obedient feelings, but pretended not to hear it, and then agreed with Lin Yi's literal statement, and his approval was indeed not nonsense - after all, in just a few days, for Xiao Mu, the emperor, he had experienced a series of major events such as the Zhejiang flood, Fujian Haikou, and Ningyuan mutiny, and none of them could be completely ended until now.

"That's because the emperors are so busy." Lin Yi continued, and emphasized the word "busy", "So it is also decided that the content of the palace examination will not be as complicated and numerous as when the general examination is taken, and only one question is completely enough." ”

"Just need a question?" Xiao Mu finally understood what Lin Yi meant, it was nothing more than that the palace exam did not require so many questions to be prepared like the general exam, and only one question was needed.

"That's right, and the people who participate in the temple examination are all candidates who have already passed the entrance examination, if there is no accident, they can almost already secure a Jinshi place, and their knowledge has been fully proven in the entrance examination, so there is no need to waste time in the palace examination to prove it again."

"Makes sense." Xiao Mu nodded and replied, and then even had his own opinion, "And this question of the palace examination can be completely flexible, after all, the basic skills of the candidates have been fully proven, and the palace examination can just give them some relatively more practical questions, focusing on their understanding of governing the country." According to Xiao Mu's understanding, the examination is like a regular examination question, and the final palace examination is like an additional question, and only when the regular examination questions are done well, there is no need for further investigation.

"Not bad." Lin Yi also agreed with Xiao Mu's opinion, "In my opinion, in fact, the main purpose of the palace examination is this. ”
