At 10 a.m. the next morning, most of the candidates were still drowsy in the examination booth.

Zhang Mu is no exception, he fought with mosquitoes all night last night, his body was sweaty, his clothes were sticking to his body, and he was a layer of oil, which was very uncomfortable.

At this time, accompanied by a few gongs, Zhang Mu opened his eyes.

Today is the second session of the college exam, and the questions have not yet been announced, and the candidates have opened their sleepy eyes and are looking forward to today's questions.

The first session of the college exam must be Shiwen, and the second one does not know what to test, and it generally depends on the interest of the examiner.

The content is nothing more than strategy, judgment, Zhao, edict, table, internal medicine, and even trial poems are also possible.

The second game is generally used as a supplement to the first game, and if it is a township test, there will be a third game.

The purpose is only to use the results of the second or even the third game to determine the top three rankings when the text cannot judge the first **.

Whether you pass the exam or not, you can see at a glance just by looking at the text of the first game.

Therefore, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, candidates have paid special attention to the Bagu Wen, and the quality of the Bagu Wen directly determines the fate of the candidates.

The rest is just a supplement, and the strategy will not be done, it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as the eight-strand essay is written well, it will be passed.

It's just that you can't be the top three, who can you scare?

Rankings, to put it bluntly, are just icing on the cake.

It's like modern society, just look at the results of the college entrance examination, as for other moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor, it's just a supplement, anyway, if it's not an art exam, it doesn't matter.

In the final analysis, the imperial examination is just a matter of writing, so sometimes it is inevitable that there will be disagreements in the judgment of superiority, and it is reasonable for the second and third games to be supplemented.

When Zhang Mu was thinking wildly, he began to light up the light board again, and the title of the second scene began to be announced.

Zhang Mu looked at the people around him, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed, after all, the first exam was the real killer exam.

Zhang Mu looked up at the light board, there were two questions on it, both of which were trial poems, the first question: the pheasant flew after the eagle, and the second question: the yellow oriole in the yin summer.

After Zhang Mu finished reading, the officials began to send out curls.

To put it bluntly, the trial poem is a poem, but there are strict requirements, such as the official rhyme must be used, and it is all out of line.

Except for the first and last couplets, the rest of the couplets require the duality of "baht two series".

In terms of rhyme, it is necessary to strictly abide by the "eight precepts", that is, out of rhyme, inverted rhyme, heavy rhyme, make up rhyme, remote rhyme, dumb rhyme, synonymous rhyme and heterosyntic rhyme can not be used.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to write according to the eight-strand text.

Wu Xuezheng started to patrol the field with his hands behind his back at this moment, and when he walked to Zhang Mu, he nodded and smiled slightly.

He had already read Zhang Mu's three articles yesterday, if it weren't for the accident, the head of the case this time would have been her.

Seeing that Zhang Mu had already rolled out the test paper with a yawn, he couldn't help but arouse his curiosity.

The first test is the candidate's foundation, the second is more talented, if there is a third one, it is generally based on the candidate's views on practical affairs.

The college examination is only the last one of the children's examination, and most of the candidates who participate are not very old, so they generally do not take the third examination.

Zhang Mu picked up his pen and pondered for a moment.

The test poem also has to solve the problem, and the difficulty is not small.

"Frightened Pheasant Chasing Eagle Flying" from Gengxin's "Winter Hunting Poem on the Swamp"

The original sentence is "The pheasant flies after the eagle, and the ape watches the arrow turn"

So Zhang Mu pondered for a while, and then wrote: "A hundred false texts, goshawks sweep the ground." ”

When Wu Xuezheng saw this, he nodded slightly, he always thought that Zhang Mu's current writing skills were very deep, but he didn't expect that miscellaneous studies were also very insightful.

Generally, the title of the test poem is just a sentence from the poem of the predecessors, or an allusion or an idiom. If the test taker does not know the source of the proposition, he will not be able to write.

Problem solving is generally to split the original sentence and point out the source of the proposition, which is called problem solving.

Zhang Mu used "Goshawk Grazing the Land and Returning" to point out where this poem came from.

Followed by the topic: "How to frighten the pheasant shadow, chase the birds and fly"

This sentence will fill in the remaining words of the title, the previous sentence has used the eagle, and the remaining surprise, pheasant, chase, and fly are all added to further clarify the meaning of the topic.

Next, there is no difference from the eight-strand text, which requires the starting shares, middle shares, back shares, and bundle shares.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Mu began to write: "The color wood is avoided, and the heart is biased and wild; Most of them are undecided, and they don't know what to do; ”

Seeing this, Wu Xuezheng nodded and said secretly: "This kid is really a talent." No wonder His Majesty insisted on letting him go. Although Wenchen has not yet had a climate, throughout the past dynasties, it is ultimately Wenchen in the world. This kid is so young, sooner or later he will become a big climate. ”

At this moment, Zhang Mu has already begun to buy stocks: "The road asks about the golden eyes, and the wind rolls the iron distance; A few times of sorrow, lost in an instant. ”

At this time, several examiners such as the prefect of Hangzhou also came over, looked down and saw the test poem written by Zhang Mu, and nodded one after another.

Then Zhang Mu pondered for a while, carefully scrutinized, and then wrote to the back stock: "Hugging the wooden ape is still turning, and the birds of the Tibetan forest are also rare." ”

In the last breath, Shu strand wrote: "There is no hunting feathers in the mountain beams, so I pity my sweater." ”

The test poem mainly pays attention to the rhyme of the battle, which depends on the candidate's literary skills, and as for the artistic conception, it depends on the talent.

Zhang Mu's poem was written quite meaningfully, it was already a superior work, Wu Xuezheng nodded his head, and left with his hands on his back, and the prefect of Hangzhou and others hurriedly followed him.

"This Zhang Mu, at such a young age, with such a deep foundation, is talented in literature and literature, and is well-versed in the past and the present, it is not simple. If you don't point out his case this time, it's like this official cheating, what do you think? Wu Xuezheng smiled faintly.

Several professors followed behind him, and the teachings also nodded, and the prefect of Hangzhou hurriedly patted his ass and said: "It's really very rare, from the county test, the government test, to the hospital test, and even the first case, first won a small three yuan." If he participates in the township examination this year, I don't think the problem is big. If you don't get it, you can still get a **, and then Lord Wu's face will be bright. ”

"Yes, yes, since the Taizu of this dynasty opened the department, there has not been **, if this kid is lucky, he is the first person to open the world." An oracle flattered.

Wu Xuezheng smiled faintly and didn't say more, he has been an official for so many years, and he has been very cautious in what he says and does, because he knows that Xiao Sanyuan is in the middle, but it is difficult.

The so-called ** is the first in the township test, the first in the meeting, and the first in the palace test.

The first place in the township test is Xie Yuan, the first place in the general examination is called Huiyuan, and the first place in the palace test is called the champion.

And Zhang Mu, after writing it, began to transcribe yesterday's text and today's trial poem, and then carefully checked, and before he knew it, it was already afternoon.

With the sound of a gong, Zhang Mu mixed among the candidates and walked out of the dragon gate.

The college exam is finally over.
