In the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, on the eighteenth day of the first month, the provincial examination of Wushenke is about to start. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the end of the day, in the inns, temples, Taoist temples, and even residential houses in Hefei City, the scholars with dreams and expectations got up early to prepare for the fateful moment.

After Li Ang and the others washed and ate, they went out in the sincere or perfunctory blessings of the shopkeeper.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, but on the way to the Gongyuan, there were already groups of people who should be lifted to take a step early. They carried examination baskets, desks and chairs, and bedding on their backs, all bowing their heads and bowing their waists without saying a word. It's not so much a heavy burden as a tired heart, and I just want to pass the province in one fell swoop and not be tortured again.

After a short time, I arrived at the Tribute Academy, and finally had a bit of a national ceremony.

A bamboo gate completely isolates the idlers and others from the street. The soldiers in military uniforms were neatly arranged under the archway in front of the gate, and their majesty was not comparable to the two or three kittens on the day of the ceremony.

Several tightly wrapped officials stood behind the bamboo gate with their hands in their hands, and although they were expressionless in front of the people who were gathering more and more, they were really emotional. Look at this group of rookies, isn't it the same as we were back then?

After a while, the morning light gradually dewed.

Li Ang inadvertently looked back, and his heart trembled with fright. The number of people is secondary, the key is that these future pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, who should be high-spirited, have dull eyes and black eye circles, which almost makes him wonder if he has crossed into the zombie siege again......

When he was sighing, he suddenly heard the sound of drums, which was powerful and powerful, and the sound was inspiring.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone understood that the time had come.

Sure enough, the closed gate of the Tribute Courtyard slowly opened after the sound of drums, and many people trembled with excitement, because this scene was very symbolic. After entering this gate, he was admitted to three games, and when he came out again, it was possible to change his official robe in brown clothes and go to the Jun Dynasty!

Subsequently, the officials in the bamboo gate began to organize the number of people to be lifted into the examination hall number, and entered in turn under the supervision of the soldiers.

This process is extremely long, because the entrance of the Gongyuan has to check the examination plate and float tickets, and the middle gate has to search and retrieve, and there are officials of the transfer department who are responsible for the promotion and supervision of the examination.

When it was Li Ang's turn to enter the arena, he looked left and right, but still didn't see Jiang Zhen and other companions. The soldiers were in a hurry again, so they could only carry their suits over the fence and come to the main gate of the tribute courtyard.

handed over the exam card floating ticket, and the official carefully screened it according to the text description above: Li Ang, twenty years old, long, beardless, and with sword eyebrows.

After passing through smoothly and arriving at the middle gate, the pain began.

As the most important part of the three-level examinations of the Jie, Provincial and Imperial Palaces, the provincial examination invigilation has always been so strict that it is outrageous, and especially the body search, which is the most difficult to accept for those who claim to be disciples of saints, and may even be protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Do you think a body search is a pat under the armpit and a touch under the crotch?

It's not that simple, the soldier in charge of the body search will make you "untie your hair and clothes", from the heavenly spirit cover to the soles of your feet, and even your socks have to be turned over and carefully checked.

Even if it is, it is especially unbearable, if it is "to the ears and nose". It's to dig your ear piercings and nostrils to prevent cheating stuff.

It's the New Year, and it's the lowest temperature of the day after dawn, and the people who usually study behind closed doors and don't exercise are covered with their heads, bare-chested and breast-bared, shivering with cold.

Fortunately, the person who invented this set of search procedures is not too perverted, otherwise if he took off his underwear, the good talent ceremony would have become a dew bird conference.

According to the "History of Jin", until the first year of Jin Zhang Zongtaihe, that is, seventy-three years after the second year of Jianyan, there was still a Jin Guozai minister who said: "Although the search should be strict, but as for untying the hair and clothes, and touching the ears and nose, it is too much, how can it be treated as a courtesy!" Asking for a bath and change of clothes instead of a body search, Jin Zhangzong complied, which put an end to the extremely insulting method.

However, it must be said that although this hurts the dignity of the reader, it preserves fairness and justice.

You see the cheaters who were found to be entrained, let the soldiers escort them, and drove them out in front of everyone without putting on their clothes.

This is the loss of face and the disgrace of people.

Leon originally had some schadenfreude and vulgar mentality, but who knew that he was also in a situation when he was searched.

When he untied his robe, the soldiers looked at it, and oh! This body, this tendon meat, stronger than me! So he doubted his identity, and after reporting to the outer curtain officer who supervised the examination, he checked his examination card float again, but still did not let him go.

Fortunately, the official who handled the formalities for him that day rushed to hear the news, and when he saw that it was him, he hurriedly helped explain, saying that this was Shouchun Yishi, a person with officials, and he passed the test.

After the search was completed, the examiners were diverted at the middle gate, and each went to the east and west corridors to occupy a seat according to the number, and sorted out and cleaned.

Li Ang held the table in one hand, containing chairs, examination baskets, bedding and other sundries, and held the examination cards in the other hand to compare them one by one, and when he found his own examination room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was busy cleaning and arranging, a soldier from the corridor came up and said, "During the exam, you must sit in the north and south, not in the east and west." ”

In other words, you can't face the outside of the dormitory, and you have to face the wall with your belly and back, so that the officers and soldiers who are procting the test outside can see what is going on inside the dormitory.

I had no choice but to change the direction and rearrange it. When it is completely cleaned up, the moves of the same exam are still entering the venue one after another, and it is estimated that I don't want to write this morning.

Before the exam started, Li Ang stood outside the room and watched. I saw that at the end of the west corridor where he was located, there was a section of the examination house that came out of the temporary rush, all with wooden planks and straw mats and very narrow, if you want to lie horizontally, that is, to practice yoga, if you want to lie vertically, you must first think about whether to show your head or feet.

What's worse is that those who don't have their own tables and chairs are lifted, and there is only one broken seat and one broken board in the examination room, which is very inconvenient, not to mention, and it is easy to stain the test paper during the exam.

Seeing this, Li Ang thanked his father from the bottom of his heart, it would be good to have a senior in the field.

As the Ying Ju was still free to move around at this time, he left his house in search of companions. I have met many fellow villagers and acquaintances, and I inevitably encourage each other. When he turned to the middle gate, he found that it was Jiang Zhen who was being searched.

Jiang Erlang had a big belly, dropped two pieces of **** of the angry woman, and was enduring the soldier's groping with his armpits and neck, and smiled vigorously in his mouth: "Ouch, ouch, don't, don't, I'm afraid of itching......"

After he passed the customs, Li Ang stepped forward to help carry the tables and chairs, and led the way to the examination house, and as soon as the two of them were tidy, they heard the soldiers in the corridor shouting for the lifters to gather in front of the main hall.

Since it is a national ceremony, and the Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, it is natural to have some ceremonies to worship saints and invite ghosts and gods.

When I arrived in the front yard of the hall, I saw that sure enough, the incense case had already been set up in the hall, and several people wore a virtuous crown, wore a scarlet robe, and wore a square heart on the neck and chest. Seeing that the crowd was very red-eyed, they said that Sage Kong would bless me to pass the province in one fell swoop, and I would come to wear such a outfit when the time came.
