Chapter 057: Sudden Death

Fall asleep to the sound of snoring and wake up to the sound of snoring. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was not yet dawn, but it was vaguely visible that in addition to the soldiers in the corridor, there were already people moving. Li Ang also hurriedly put on his robes, shoes and socks in the dark, and went to the thatched house before most of the people woke up, and spent money to ask the soldiers to fetch water to wash, and then bought a bowl of gruel, two steamed buns, and a boiled egg.

I wanted to ask for another stir-fried seasonal vegetables, but I remembered Li Bai's instructions and said that I should not get a little greasy in the morning, otherwise I would be blinded and my thinking would be affected, so I gave up.

After eating and drinking, the east reveals the white belly of the fish.

I was not in a hurry to answer the questionnaire, so I sat on the chair and dizzy, watching the disheveled fellow examinees come and go. accidentally discovered Xue Huiyan, a beautiful man who is usually so beautiful, his hair is scattered, his robe is wrinkled, and he seems to have lost his belt, how embarrassed and embarrassed he is.

As soon as a smile appeared on his face, a soldier rushed up with a cross-eyebrow and a cold eye, so frightened that Li Ang hurriedly sat upright, remembering that Li Daguan had once recited a poem describing the atmosphere of the Gongyuan with great affection.

The main division is separated by curtains, and desires cannot be trampled.

Zhonggui should be a fence bar, searching all over the soles of the boots.

Call the name to sit, and the defeated seat is spread coldly.

The athlete straightened me forward, and Wu Fu was on guard.

Young primary school talents, said to be a guest gift.

Once in the threshold well, the eyes were stunned.

The predecessor of the science field who wrote this poem is obviously also a funny person, and the sentence "two eyes but stunned" is, in the popular words of Li Ang's previous life, a confused look......

After a while, the sky was already bright, the Gongyuan stopped, and the mind was clear, so he took out the test paper and prepared to start today's battle. He had already made a plan last night, and he must finish the endowment theory within today, which is the highlight of the provincial test, and he must not be sloppy.

As for the three strategies, they will be put at the end, but they should not be careless.

Because ordinary people only bury their heads in reading, most of them lack experience and knowledge, and their "strategies" are basically closed, and they take it for granted. The tribute officials will not be demanding, and their results will be judged mainly by the first two games.

But it is different for those who should be "locked in the hall test".

What is a lock hall test? It is to lock up his office to take the exam, which means that those who have officials put down their official duties and go to participate in the imperial examination to seek a better background.

Now that you have your own office, don't you have a little insight into current affairs?

All in all, time is tight, the task is heavy, throw off your arms and do it!

Fortunately, I had a general idea of the fu before going to bed yesterday, and what I want to do today is to choose words and make sentences to express the meaning. Before noon, an article "Moving the People to Do Not Words" had been copied word for word on the test paper.

It's just that pen......

For lunch, Li Ang bought a bowl of wine, no way, it cooled down today, and after sitting all morning, the whole body was soft except for that place, and everything else was hard.

By the afternoon, it was much easier, because whether it was a theory or a strategy, it was your opinion that was tested, and there was no fixed format and rhyme requirements, so there was a lot of room for free play.

Moreover, compared with the rigidity of the imperial examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was undoubtedly more flexible and tolerant.

When writing a treatise and strategy, in order to illustrate your point, you can cite scriptures or make them up out of thin air, and as long as the article is good, the tribute official will generally not depose you because you used an allusion that he doesn't even know.

Take Su Da Wenhao as an example, when he participated in the provincial examination, he wrote the "Treatise on Punishment and Reward for Loyalty", which was handed down to later generations, "When Yao, Gao Tao was a scholar." will kill, Gao Tao said 'killing' three, Yao said 'Youzhi' three" statement.

At that time, the chief examiner was Ouyang Xiu, a leader in the literary world, who appreciated this article very much, but he didn't know the source of the above allusions. Later, when I asked the author, the answer was, why do you have to have a source? Ouyang Xiu not only didn't blame him, but felt that this guy had ideas.

If you want to put it in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Su Shi has to be called a crazy student, no matter if you are only eight buckets high, the examiner will not take it directly.

Before dark, the paper was completed. After dinner, as usual, I thought about tomorrow's three strategies, and in the middle of the night, the snoring of the brother next door came, reminding Li Ang that it was time to sleep.

The next day, the last one.

Li Ang always felt like he had lost something when he woke up in the morning, but his heart was empty, but he couldn't say what was missing. Just like the day before yesterday, after washing, eating, and finishing, I began to write the question.

As soon as the first policy was written, I saw an outer curtain official pass in front of the number house, stop next door and shout: "Hey, you should lift people, get up!" It's dawn! Xu was too deep asleep, and called a few more times, but there was still no response.

Just as he was puzzled, he saw several soldiers walking over quickly, and they couldn't hear what they were saying. After a while, the transfer judge actually appeared.

Leon knew that nine times out of ten, something had happened.

"Are you sure you're dead?"

"Back to the official, he is dead, his hands and feet are stiff."

"That's it, carry it out, don't alarm others, and wait for the hospital to open later."

Despite his mental preparation, Leon couldn't help but be shocked when he heard these words. No wonder I woke up in the morning and felt that something was missing, but I didn't expect it......

At that moment, several soldiers carried the unfortunate brother by, and he could not bear to look at it again after a glance, praying in his heart that the soul of the dead would rest in peace.

But it's impossible to think about it, I studied hard for more than ten years, and finally got rid of it and went to the province, but I fell in the last one. The deceased is gone, but there must still be parents and even wives and children at home who are looking forward to it. There is no greater misfortune in life than this......

There was nothing unusual in the Gongyuan because of this incident, the soldiers in the corridor were still eyeing each other, and the outer curtain officer who supervised the examination was still walking as if nothing had happened.

With a secret sigh, Li Ang put away his complicated thoughts and wanted to continue answering the question. But the face I saw at that glance always appeared in my mind, so that I was uneasy.

It took a long time for him to adjust his mood and write the first policy carefully. As soon as the draft was finalized, there were already soldiers in the courtyard delivering lunch, because he had to accept the papers and be discharged from the hospital after the end of this afternoon, that is, at the end of Shen Shi, he couldn't care about eating, and he didn't even have time to type the draft, so he wrote it directly on the test paper after he had the draft.

Finally, at the end of the hour, the drums sounded.

This means that the answer sheet of the Huaixi Provincial Examination in the second year of Wushenke of the Great Song Jianyan is over.

The outer curtain officials shouted loudly and shouted that the people should stop writing and hand in the papers, and the soldiers in the corridor also held the gong and struck wildly, and the chickens and dogs jumped in the tribute courtyard for a while, so that you couldn't feel at ease if you wanted to drag it for a while.

Li Ang gritted his teeth, the green tendons on his forehead were rising, and despite the bells, gongs, and shouts, he insisted on finishing the last stroke, and blew dry the ink, and then got up and went out of the house under the angry eyes of the soldiers, and threw himself outside the door to hand in the papers.

Along the way, I saw that some of the people who took the same exam held their heads high and were full of ambition, and some bowed their heads and frowned, sighing, but without exception, they were all unkempt, as if they were in prison.

Outside the gate of the Gongyuan, the soldier with the knife guarded a cabinet, which should be put in after the person handed in the paper, and the paper of the locked hall test was placed on another layer. Once the volume is collected, it is immediately locked, and it is carried to the sealing office to seal the volume and make a number.
