After a while, all the staff arrived, and nearly 400 Huaixi Zhengjuan people were raised, and under the guidance of the tribute officials, they worshiped Confucius, the "Most Holy Wenxuan King". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of the Jingkang Incident, the second emperor was dusty, and then worshiped the father and son who were suffering in the northeast.

Finally, he bowed to Zhao Gou in the edict of the Kaike scholars, and the eight hundred people who were outside the five and the top five Jinshi "Quanzhihuai Xigongju" trained a call, and then took the other five tribute officials into the hall to sit down, and the curtain was lowered in front of the door.

At this point, all the officials participating in the examination of this subject have their functions separated. Those who are in the curtain are called "inner curtain officials", and those who are supervised outside the curtain are called "outer curtain officials"

After the curtain was closed, the lifters went back to the examination room to sit down, waiting for the questions to be announced.

"! What about my inkstone! As soon as Li Ang sat down, he found that something was missing from the table, lowered his head and searched all over the floor, and turned over the futon on the chair, and suddenly panicked.

Damn! It must have been taken advantage of when I went to find my fellow villagers before! Oh, I'll go, this quality is still admitted to the Jinshi? I sincerely wish you a lifetime of excellence!

Hate is hate, but how can you grind ink without an inkstone? Now the title is about to be announced!

When he was in a hurry, a soldier from the corridor passed by his house, and Li Ang hurriedly stopped: "Driver, do you have an inkstone to sell?" ”

He heard Li Bai say that in the tribute courtyard, there were soldiers in the corridor who sold inkstones, snacks, rice, tea and wine, vegetables and meat, etc., and stationery was also among them.

The soldier was stunned when he heard this, could he forget to bring an inkstone when he participated in the provincial examination? How big is that? He glanced at the other party with sympathy, shook his head, and walked away.

Li Ang instantly realized what it meant to fall into the abyss......

At this moment, I saw an outer curtain officer who supervised the examination, and brought a few soldiers to the opposite side of their examination room, and hung the questions of this class examination in the side hall.

Once the questions are announced, it means that the exam has officially begun, and any form of communication between the applicants is strictly prohibited.

Cold sweat broke out on Li Ang's forehead, although he came to Luzhou this time, although he was mentally prepared to fall behind, he never expected it to be in this way. Could it be that he is going to become the first pioneer in the history of the Great Song Dynasty to submit a blank paper in the "locked hall test"?

After losing his mind for a while, he finally set his sights on the topic.

Zhao Gou made it very clear in the edict that in this class test, the first test is one poem each, and those who study the scriptures and righteousness will take three scriptures, and one each of the Analects and Mencius; The second is a juxtaposition; The third game is a three-way strategy.

Li Ang's first selection test was poetry, so he first went to look at the title of poetry, and saw that the title of the poem was "Shepherding sheep for Lang", and the title of the poem was "Moving the people to do not speak".

This look, I really want to hit my head against the wall.

I obviously expected that Zhao Gou would resume poetry in Jianyan Kaike, and these two questions can still be handled, but ...... ! Don't let me know who it is!

Gritting his teeth for a while, he thought that if he was dethroned because his knowledge was not as good as others, he would have nothing to say. But he abandoned the exam because he stole the inkstone? What a heart!

When he was thinking about countermeasures in a hurry, he suddenly saw a lifter walking through the side hall to the main hall accompanied by soldiers, and slammed his head on the door, counting his heart.

He waited anxiously for a while, and when the man returned, he immediately beckoned.

"How?" The soldier asked.

"I have a question to ask the chief examiner of the inner curtain."

In the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty, there was a very humane rule, that is, when the topic was difficult, the person who should be promoted could ask for advice from the main text. For example, the allusion of "shepherding sheep for Lang", does it refer to Su Wu or Bu style? Another example is the title "Move the people to do not speak", where does it come from?

These are all things that can be explained upon request.

Of course, if you go up, ask: Ministers, what does it mean to have friends from afar...... It is estimated that it will be forked out immediately.

He led the soldiers to the door of the main hall, and after obtaining the permission of the examiner present, Li Ang asked the chief examiner inside about the meaning of the poem and the source of the question, and received detailed answers.

He was supposed to go back to the test house immediately after the question, but he stood still. The judge of the transfer division next to him frowned: "Should you raise people, is there any difficulty?" ”

"Back to this official, the student was careless, and the inkstone was stolen. Can you ......?"

The transfer judge wanted to laugh when he heard it, everyone really has it, and even the inkstone can be thrown away in the exam! coughed dryly twice, and pulled down his face: "This is your own fault, the exam has been opened now, and it is impossible to find it for you." ”

"The officials have learned a lesson." Li Ang lowered his head, he should pretend to be a grandson. "The students were not strictly supervised, and they were to blame, and they should have thought they were unlucky and waited for the next grade. It's just that the students really don't want to be the first person to take the white paper in the Great Song Lock Hall, so I hope that all the officials will be accommodating, and the students are grateful. ”

When the judge heard this, he looked him up and down with scrutinizing eyes: "Are you an official?" ”

Li Ang immediately handed over the exam card floating ticket, and after the other party carefully checked and confirmed that it was correct, he looked inside the curtain and muttered: "Since it is a locked hall, the exam ......"

After a while, I only heard someone inside the curtain: "If the outer curtain official has no objection, he can give him one." ”

The transfer judge thought to himself, ordering the soldier to lock the hall to take the exam, this is a manifestation of seeking progress, everyone is an official, why not make it convenient? Permission was given.

After a short time, the official in the curtain handed out the inkstone, handed it to him for a brief inspection, and then transferred it to the unlucky man.

Li Ang really thanked him, and returned to the examination house accompanied by the soldiers with the inkstone, and was a little stunned for a while.

After sitting for a long time, he adjusted his mood, and only happiness was left in his heart: first, he was glad that he did not die, and second, he was glad that he was not bad.

Zhao Gou really took the opportunity to pick up talents, reversed what his father Zhao Ji did, and set out to eliminate Wang Anshi's influence. This can be seen from the title, first of all, the restoration of the poet who had been interrupted for decades.

You must know that Wang Anshi's tribute method back then was to strike poetry and give up, and to take scholars with righteousness. After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he appointed the New Party to implement the new law, and in order to further strengthen the policy of "boycotting poetry", he even stipulated in the form of a decree: Shishu will pass on 100 rods for those who study poetry.

Not only are they not allowed to take exams, but they are also not allowed to study.

Although this extremely law was later repealed, since it was not examined, what reason did the reader have to delve into it? It is only the most basic examination such as the county school enrollment that uses poetry to test the basic skills of students.

And now Zhao Gou has restored the poetry of the scholars in the first imperial examination after his accession to the throne, which is equivalent to sending a clear message to the world, I want to go back!

This treasure, Li Ang bet right.

In fact, this is also a helpless move, although he knows history, some ancient literary foundations, and has made up for more than a year, but when it comes to the dabbling and understanding of Confucian classics, he is definitely not as good as those who have studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window, and even not as good as the "fateful soldiers" who are locked in the hall like him. If you choose to test the scriptures, it is to attack the strengths of others with your own shortcomings, and to die by tricks.

It is better to choose a more creative poem, and perhaps there is still a trace of vitality. After all, he has put a lot of effort into poetry for more than a year, and he has been tutored by Li Bai, who is good at this. In addition, he has not taken the test for decades, presumably there is no master of this way in this tribute courtyard, whether it is a "cold scholar" or a "life scholar".
