"Open the dragon gate!"

Just when everyone was talking about Zhang Mu, as the door of the examination hall slowly opened, the candidates began to enter the examination room.

After handing Zhang Mu's futon basket to him, Han Fangshan said, "My lord, don't worry about going to the test, and I'm waiting for your good news." ”

"You have to hurry up and do the 40,000 things, and after the trial release of the hospital, I'm afraid that some people will be busy." Zhang Mu said with a smile.

"Humble duty understands." After Han Fangshan finished whispering, he sent Zhang Mu to the gate of the examination shed, watched Zhang Mu enter the examination room, and then turned around and left.

The scale of the examination shed in Hangzhou is not small, this examination shed was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, brick by brick, and has endured the vicissitudes of time.

Although the Hou Lao has been preserved here after several wars, after all, whoever fights the world does not want to offend the scholars, the scholars, the farmers and businessmen, and the scholars have the highest status, and the people are the people.

At this moment, the courtyard is full of candidates who are already carrying bedding and carrying roasted blue, and a group of officials and military men are lining up for candidates, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

There are more students in Chang Bao than the candidates, one by one, wearing Zhuzi deep clothes, and five people and six people are standing in the examination hall, mighty.

Zhang Mu is eligible to receive a hall number because of the head of the government examination, so he is not using the Xuan Sheng to sing insurance.

The so-called hall number is the top ten children in the government examination, they are included in the hall number, and their test papers, Xuezheng will personally check them.

When you sit down for a while, you have to mention the number and sit at the front of the examination booth, which is an honor for children.

At this moment, Wu Xuezheng stood tall in front of many officials in a crimson robe, and when the queue was over, he began to burn incense to worship Sage Kong, and then slapped the emperor's ass, and finally announced the discipline of the examination room.

It's almost back and forth this process.

Then the trumpet began to be sung, and the top ten in the government examination of each state capital took out the test papers in turn, first Hangzhou Mansion and then Jinhua Mansion.

Zhang Mu, as the head of the Jinhua Mansion Examination, was naturally the first to be pointed, he walked over, and among the candidates below, there was a burst of discussion.

"Oh, he's so young, since he can try the head of the case?"

"yes, it's not easy."

"What is this? When the county examined, he was the head of the case. ”

"Isn't it, Chen Ying, a talented man in Jinhua Mansion, heard that he was severely humiliated by Zhang Mu when he was in Jinhua, didn't you see that when he saw Zhang Mu today, he knelt down and shouted Dad?"

"People are going to die more than people, and goods are going to be thrown away."

"No, I haven't finished reading four books when I'm his age."

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Zhang Mu had already taken the exam papers from Wu Xuezheng's hands, and both of them smiled tacitly, Wu Xuezheng said: "Take the test well, I will send your test papers to Yingtianfu." ”

Many officials behind him looked puzzled one by one, and when they were sent to Ying Tianfu, it was naturally for His Majesty the Emperor to see, just a court exam, how could the emperor look at it? It's the test paper of the township exam, and the emperor didn't say he wanted to read it.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm here for the head of the case." After Zhang Mu finished speaking, he left in a proper manner.

When he got to his place, Zhang Mu put down the cover, cleaned up, and squinted his eyes and dozed off.

After a full hour, this singing Bao can be regarded as an explanation, and then the yacha began to patrol the field, and then several teachings held light boards and began to light up the questions.

In general, there are at least two examinations in the college examination, the first one is generally the four calligraphy meanings or the scriptures, and the second one is either a strategy or a theory.

Shiwen is an eight-strand text, with two questions in one hand, and the government test and the county test are basically the same process.

The second policy discussion is usually on the second day, and the so-called policy discussion is the candidate's comment on the facts of the political figures.

Since the Tang Dynasty, policy theory has been an important part of the imperial examination, and from the policy theory, it can be seen that a candidate's understanding of political facts and ability to deal with major issues can be seen.

Originally, this matter was well-intentioned, but unfortunately, the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty almost ignored the policy theory, and only looked at whether the Baguwen did well or not, which basically determined the fate of this candidate.

As for the other contents of the imperial examination, such as judgments, Zhao, edicts, tables, internal medicine and other official documents, they will only be involved in the township examination or the palace examination.

The most important strategy is only during the palace examination, when the eight strands of literature cannot be distinguished, and it becomes a supplementary means for selecting champions.

When Zhang Mu thought of this, he felt very sad, which also laid endless disasters for the incompetence and pedanticy of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and greed for money and power.

Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, in addition to the early Ming Dynasty, there were many famous ministers and generals, only Sanyang was still somewhat famous, and then there was Zhang Juzheng, who presided over the law change, and the rest were all eunuchs and incompetent emperors who caused trouble to the country and the people.

The pros and cons of the eight shares can be said to be known at a glance.

However, everything has its own rules of the game, if you want to change the rules of the game, you must first play a good game, this kind of national event, Zhang Mu feels that it is too far away from him, the most important thing at the moment is to clean up the holy woman, as the saying goes, I am not afraid of thieves stealing, I am afraid of thieves, every day someone is worried about your life, who can't sleep well.

Zhang Mu raised his head and saw two questions on the light board, the first question: "Raise Shun and rule Yan." The second question: "There is a crusade for the ministers." ”

Both of these questions are from Mencius? His Majesty Teng Wen

The standard four calligraphy is not very difficult, so Zhang Mu lay on the table and yawned, ready to make up for sleep first.

Anyway, I have to take the test for two days in a row, and there is time.

At this time, Wu Xuezheng walked to Zhang Mu with his hands on his back, and when he saw Zhang Mu lying on the table, he couldn't help but leave with a wry smile.

Perhaps because he was a little tired in the past few days, Zhang Mu slept very sweetly, and unconsciously began to snore, and the sound was so loud that the children around him looked sideways.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Mu heard someone shouting: "Okay, everyone else is there to do the question, why are you sleeping here?" Get up! ”

Zhang Mu was too lazy to take care of her, so he turned his head sideways and continued to sleep, but he felt that someone was pulling his ears again, Zhang Mu suddenly raised his head, couldn't help but be angry, and was about to speak, but he was stunned at the moment.

Because, in front of him stood a yacha, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face, big eyes that were bright and bright, and a small mouth full of anger and anger, who is this not the little county lord?

"Okay, you actually slept here, and when I return to Yingtianfu, I have to tell the imperial grandfather." The little county lord whispered.

Zhang Mu hurriedly said: "Don't mind, it was too late to investigate the case yesterday, isn't it really unbearable?" ”

"Do you think the lord of this county will believe it? I don't think you know how to write. The little county lord smiled secretly.

"Isn't that Shiwen? It's easy to get you in minutes! Zhang Mu sneered.
