After careful consideration, Wu Fanhui decided not to visit Fang Fengnian, not that he looked down on Fang Fengnian, but because Fang Fengnian was a standard scholar, his personality was a little pedantic, and his understanding of some aspects was also deep-rooted.

Wu Fanhui, who didn't have any strength yet, had to be careful, and from the moment he entered the capital, he didn't take a wrong step.

Details determine success or failure, and this is Wu Fanhui's magic weapon in the face of anything that is coming.

After all, the township test to the examination, the distance is not very long, and the scale of the examination and the way of the examination are exactly the same as the township examination, even if it is a serious review of homework, it is unlikely that there will be much gain in such a short period of time.

In addition, all the students who are rushing for the exam are in the status of people, and if they can form small groups one by one before the entrance examination and form a strong relationship, it will also be very beneficial for future development.

Wu Fanhui is different, he is very serious about reviewing his homework, even to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, he didn't think about making any relationship at all, and he didn't take measures to attract talents, because he knew very well that those adults in the court who specialized in party struggle, held great power, and always paid attention to this aspect of matters, their own strength was not enough, if they were too active, they would definitely encounter calculations, and those adults in the court were by no means comparable to Zhang Pu and others.

There are more than 2,000 people who participated in the examination, and only 350 people were able to pass, and what is more important is that the people in the south are indeed stronger than the northern scholars in terms of knowledge, which cannot be denied, although the examination is the same as the palace examination, there are both north and south lists, but in recent years, with the increase of officials in the central and southern parts of the DPRK, the number of tributes that can be admitted in the north has become less and less, and the northern scholars who are not knowledgeable enough can only be recognized.

Wu Fanhui's way of proving himself is to get good results in the general examination and the palace examination, and the moment he is named on the gold list, he can dispel all the discussions, and also allow him to deal with the upcoming troubles wholeheartedly.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Wu Fanhui, who had almost never slept all night, appeared in front of the Gongyuan.

The examination is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, the scale of the examination is exactly the same as the township examination, but the specifications are much higher than the township examination, the chief examiner of the examination is two, served by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and about 20 examiners with the examiner, all of whom are from the two lists of Jinshi, and the rest of the curtain officials are composed of other officials drawn from the Ministry of Rites, Guozijian and Hanlin Academy, that is to say, the examination is completely presided over by the imperial court.

The examination questions of the examination are also issued by the Ministry of Rites, most of the time, the examination questions are directly issued by the Ministry of Rites, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites is a scholar, a cabinet assistant, equivalent to the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

This time the examination, the imperial court attaches more importance to it, because this is the first examination since the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor is hard-working, ambitious, is thinking of selecting talents from the imperial examination, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military know that the emperor is thirsty for talent, in this case, not only the Ministry of Rites attaches great importance to the examination, but the cabinet also attaches great importance to it.

Candidates to participate in this examination, the number of more than 2,000 people, the scale is also very large, since November last year, the capital has become extraordinarily lively, a lot of candidates rushed to the capital, in their spare time organized a variety of academic exchange activities, so that the whole capital is full of strong academic taste, virtually diluted the depression caused by the Jin Tartars ravaging the North Zhili.

The Gongyuan in Beijing and the Gongyuan in Nanjing can be said to be the best Gongyuan in the Ming Dynasty, and you don't need to carry anything to participate in the examination, and the paper, pen, ink and inkstone required for the examination, including eating, drinking, Lazar, etc., are all directly provided by the imperial court.

Because you don't need to bring anything for the exam, the inspection procedure for entering the Gongyuan is not so complicated, and in the early spring season, the climate in the capital is still changeable, and there is a cold smell in the early morning and night.

At the end of the day, the gate of the Tribute Temple opened.

Holding Wu Fanhui, who was in his hand, followed everyone and slowly walked towards the gate of the Gongyuan.

Although the number of candidates who participated in the examination reached more than 2,000 people, the order was still very good, no one made a noise, and no one was crowded, everyone was queuing up and slowly going towards the Tribute Academy, after all, it was an extraordinary quality of lifting people, at this time they all attached great importance to their own words and deeds, you must know that most of the invigilators are officials of the Ministry of Rites, and there are also officials of the Ministry of Officials, if they leave a bad impression when they enter the Tribute Academy, it is not good for their own future, and they will also encounter the shame of other candidates.

After entering the gate of the Gongyuan and being inspected by the sergeant, after passing through a short road, after crossing the door, the examination cards are changed on the left and right, and the examination cards are written on the number of examination rooms and the number of examination sheds.

Wu Fanhui's head was still a little dizzy, he only slept for more than an hour the night before, after all, the inn he stayed in was in the outer city, he needed to get up early to hurry, and he had to make a special appointment for a carriage, and he was not allowed to ride a horse in the inner city, only a carriage.

Xu Yanqi, Li Yong, Ma Jigang and others sent him to the front of the Tribute Courtyard, Wu Fanhui asked everyone to go back to the inn, and then he had to spend nearly ten days in the Tribute Courtyard, and when the test was over, everyone could pick him up.

Successfully found the examination shed, after entering, before the door of the examination shed was locked, Wu Fanhui sat on the wooden board with his buttocks, no jewelry, just lay on his stomach to take a nap, he still needed to rest for a while, so that his mind was clear.

Of the three exams in the general examination, the first exam is also the most important.

The same examiners who marked the papers were all doctors of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy and Guozijian, and they didn't know how many articles they had read, but they were very familiar with the Bagu Wen, and their ability to mark the papers was much more powerful than the same examiners in the township examination.

It was very quiet in the Gongyuan, the sky was not yet completely bright, and the oil lamps in some examination booths were lit, probably because the candidates were making relevant preparations.

In a daze, Wu Fanhui heard the sound of the gong.

He still hasn't looked up, he has participated in the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination and the township examination, for the Ming imperial examination, it is also familiar, the examination is the same as the township examination, in fact, the difference with the college examination is not very big, the candidate has enough time to write articles, there is no need to be so anxious, the key is to make the mind clear, to be able to understand the exam questions well, and then write to have a look.

The examination also started at the time of Chen, and at this moment, the chief examiner and the same examiner had already entered the Tribute Academy, and the curtain officer was also ready.

This year's examination, which is somewhat different from the past, the previous examination, the first re-examination, the same in the Gongyuan, only three days, write an article, the re-examination will eliminate a part of the candidates, to avoid too many candidates to participate in the examination, increasing the pressure of the same examiner to read the papers, but this year may be the emperor's decision, no re-examination, all the candidates who entered Beijing to catch the examination, all participated in the examination.

And what Wu Fanhui and other candidates don't know is that this year's fellow examiners are not only the doctors of the Five Classics from the Hanlin Academy and Guozijian, but also the editors and Shu Jishi from the Hanlin Academy.

The number of fellow examiners reached 26, which was the largest number of fellow examiners in the past years.

This aspect reflects the emperor's attention to this test.

When the door of the examination shed was opened, Wu Fanhui raised his head and saw the expressionless examiner handing out paper, pen, ink, inkstone and other things that must be used in the exam.

In a few minutes, the gong sounded again.

The examiner announced the official start of the Xinweike examination.

I don't know why, Wu Fanhui didn't have excitement in his heart, maybe he took the exam too many times, Chongzhen participated in the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination in the second year, Chongzhen participated in the township examination in three years, and Chongzhen had to participate in the meeting examination and the palace examination in four years, all of them were a little numb, and after a few hundred years, it was a three-year time, and they participated in the primary school graduation examination, junior high school graduation examination, college entrance examination, university graduation examination and graduate graduation examination.

I really don't know what those candidates who have taken the township examination and the general examination many times will think in their hearts.

At two o'clock, the door of the examination booth opened again, and this time it was the examiner who distributed the examination papers.

After a short rest for nearly an hour, Wu Fanhui's spirit was much better, at this moment he was already sitting in a precarious position, waiting for the examiner to distribute the exam papers, perhaps Wu Fanhui's spirit was good, the examiner also looked at him deliberately, the previous time he opened the examination booth, this exam was still confused, and in such a short time, he was full of energy.

The door of the examination booth closed again, and after a while, a gong was heard outside, and the examiner announced the start of the question.

Wu Fanhui didn't rush to open the test paper, he looked at the scroll on the table, still a little confused.

He believes that these rumors, the adults of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials will not believe it, after all, the reason why Wang Xiang was dismissed, many people in the court and the central government know that it is not because of the Shaanxi Township Examination, but the chief examiner who presided over the township examination in a certain place was removed from his official position, which must have an impact on the local candidates.

The test paper read by the examiner is not the test paper written by the candidate himself, which can ensure the fairness of the test, so as long as the article is written, there is not much problem in high school.

Wu Fanhui closed his eyes slightly, trying to adjust his thoughts and concentrate.

It wasn't until the end of the day that he finally opened his eyes again, and if you looked closely, you would find that there was a burst of light from his eyes, and it was obvious that he had adjusted his mental state to the best.
