Chapter 182: The first exam
The examination will be held in three sessions, one on three days, the first on the 9th of February, the second on the 12th, and the third on the 15th. The three test items, four books, five words and eight rhymes, five scriptures and questions, are the same as the township test.
The one who will try to take it is called "Gongshi", also known as "Chinese-style Jinshi", and the first name is "Huiyuan". The number of admission places is uncertain, about 300 in the Ming Dynasty, and they are divided into three regions: south, north and middle in proportion.
On the ninth day of March, the first test will be held.
Li Ling and Xu Lai made an appointment, came to the Gongyuan, and honestly found a place and began to line up to be inspected by the soldiers in order to enter.
They were feeling bored when they suddenly noticed a move on their right.
"Li Ling, you finally came to participate in the meeting as you wished, but don't be complacent, this time the meeting yuan is mine, I will not show mercy to my subordinates, and I will not give you another chance!"
Before Li Ling could understand what the situation was, he heard an unusually resolute voice, and when he raised his eyes to look, he found that it was Song Xing, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
This kid suffered the same fate as Li Ling during the township test, first he was removed by Master Qian, and then he was discovered during the re-examination, although he did not make Xie Yuan, but he also successfully won the move.
In fact, he has always been unconvinced by Li Ling's Xie Yuan, he always thinks that the name of this Xie Yuan belongs to him, and Xie Yuan was given to Li Ling by himself.
Of course, he was also one of the people who benefited the most from the last township exam, because he deliberately failed to pass the exam. He won a lot of gold and silver in the casino. Now the Song family has gotten rid of economic difficulties, and the family's business has begun to flourish again.
When he came to participate in the examination this time, he knew that Li Ling was arrested and imprisoned, and he sighed a few times at the beginning, feeling sorry for what happened to the other party.
Who knew that there was a storm in the back, Li Ling was able to turn over, and when the Queen Mother suddenly returned to the palace, she got rid of all the charges for him.
Li Ling can participate in the imperial examination openly again!
A thick sense of vinegar came to his heart, and Song Xing began to be jealous! Why is the other party's life so good? Whenever you encounter difficulties, there are always noble people to help.
Last time, he failed in the foreign test, and then Li Ge Lao overturned the case for him, and the examiner also ordered him to be Xie Yuan, and this time there was a queen mother who had been missing for many years to eliminate the disaster for him!
"You're sick! You obviously know that Li Jieyuan has been at sea for the past few months, and he has experienced the test of war and death every day, and it is impossible for him to have too much time to review his books, do you still have to compare with him, are you embarrassed? Even if you barely win, you can't win! ”
"You". Song Xing didn't expect that the always peaceful Fat Xu would suddenly target him.
The two have crossed paths many times, and he naturally knows that Xu Fatzi is extremely well-connected, and he doesn't want to offend the other party.
Song Xingyou stared at Li Ling coldly, and then left.
Someone actually provoked Li Jieyuan!
There are many southerners in the team, and they have sincere admiration for Li Ling, and a person is willing to waste time and money in order to avenge the villagers, which is a noble virtue that others cannot match.
What if you lose this time? No one in the world knows you, no matter where you go, Li Jieyuan will gain respect.
As for Song Xing, Huangkou is just a child, the world is not just a piece of land in Nanjing, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and it is inevitable that there will be no more intelligent talents than him in this test!
The team proceeded in an orderly manner, and finally Li Ling was inspected.
There were only a few single clothes and some food in the package, and the soldiers took a look at him before letting him in.
He was impatient to find his own room, only to find that his next-door neighbor was already sitting there.
Meeting is fate, and the two nodded to each other as acquaintances.
The arrangement of the number room is also exquisite, generally speaking, the southerners and northerners cross each other, so that all the lifters are very likely not to know the candidates next door.
When they meet, there are many fewer opportunities for these people to collude to cheat.
The soldiers left after distributing the test papers one by one, and the examination room should maintain a quiet atmosphere and not disturb the lifters to do the questions.
Li Ling flipped through the test papers at a very fast speed, and he was happy!
This session mainly examines the meaning of the Four Books and the Five Classics.
The first title is: "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at the best and righteousness". From "University", it means that the method of doing the work of governing the country and helping the university lies in advocating and carrying forward the righteous and bright virtue and moral government, getting close to the people and respecting the will of the people, and never ending the pursuit of perfection and perfection, with perfection and perfection as the goal of struggle.
The sub-title is: "Neutrality without relying on strong justice". Uttering "The Mean". Simply translated, it means that people always have their own principles to adhere to and be impartial.
The third title: "To the people of the world, gather the world's own goods, trade and retreat, each has its own righteousness" means to open a market at noon, gather the people from all over the world, and gather the goods from all over the world. After the transaction, they got what they wanted and left. Uttering "Zhou Yi".
Li Ling has done all three questions before, and he also brought the "standard answers" revised by the masters!
Like the last township exam, the Xu family also asked the masters in the house to simulate some test questions, which were the most likely questions for the examiner and the emperor.
Xu Lai knew it earlier, and he had already memorized the answers to these mock test questions.
After Li Ling returned to the capital, he was imprisoned again, and when he was cleared of charges, there were only two or three days before the examination.
Xu Fatzi quietly stuffed these test questions to Li Ling, even so he was not optimistic about his friend's scientific examination.
It's hard to bring these answers into the exam room without being discovered by the examiner, and it's not a fool's dream to memorize them in just two days.
It seems that Li Jieyuan is going to lose this exam.
Although Xu Lai was a little frustrated, Li Ling didn't care at all! He has his own way of coping!
Li Xie Yuan quietly took out a shirt from his package and spread him flat on the desk, and then his thoughts were like a spring, and he began to write hard!
"This candidate, please stand up for a while, and I'll see what is on your desk!"
When Li Ling was busy answering the questionnaire, a slightly angry voice came, and a man wearing a black veil and an official uniform entered the room.
He is one of the eight university entrance exams.
Each exam is presided over by two examiners and eight examiners, and it seems that this is one of the examiners.
"Yes, sir!" Li Man stood up honestly and revealed the single clothes spread on the desk.
"Count you as acquaintances!". The anger of the same exam has subsided a little, this candidate is really too disagreeable, and he actually openly made a cheat sheet in the examination room, has he still put the examiner in his eyes, and does he want a future?
It's just that when he picked up his clothes for inspection, Tongkao was instantly stunned, and the clothes were not cheat sheets, but strange symbols carved with cinnabar.
"What the hell is going on?". The face of the fellow examiner suddenly turned red, and he had a preconceived idea without figuring it out, and he wronged the young man.
"Friend, my friend sent it, saying that he asked Master Centaur to carve a spell on it, as long as he is placed in a conspicuous place during the exam, he can bless me as a high school jinshi!" Li Ling's face also turned red, and he explained to the examiner in a low voice.
Zi Bu was confused, he had already guessed that the examiner would not like this.
"Ridiculous! If you read more books, it will definitely be more useful than these ghost drawings! ”。 The same examiner shook his head and left, the son can't be taught, I didn't expect to meet such a superb when he presided over the exam.
"What the adults say is very true, I must pay attention to it once!" Li Ling humbly catered to it.
"I think you just have to wait for the next test!". The examiner scolded helplessly and left.
Li Ling shrugged his shoulders and continued to bury his head in answering the question.
The clothes were not ghostly drawings, but a test answer that he transcribed in pinyin.
He wrote down all the key topics that Xu Lai said on his clothes, but he didn't expect to hit them all this time!
What's even more gratifying is that the examiner was also deceived by him.
Generally speaking, the eight examiners are responsible for a part of the candidates, and he only needs to fool the same exam to pass.
"Ahem, ahem". The next-door neighbor suddenly coughed, and Li Ling hurriedly took his gaze back from his clothes.
The same exam has once again patrolled here!
This time he saw that Li Ling simply didn't put pen to paper, he sneered and left, his heart full of contempt.
At the end of the exam, Li Ling wanted to find the candidate next door to express his gratitude, but the other party had already left him first! (To be continued.) )
