In the evening, the clerks came to collect the papers. ^//^

The examinees stood at the gate of the fence with the papers and question sheets in their hands and handed them over carefully.

This one is really simple and easy to do, and the candidates are all relaxed. Of course, there are also people who realize that the simpler the question, the more fierce the competition, and the ridiculously small number of admissions in this subject, but they are afraid that the prospects will not be good, and their faces are naturally worried.

For example, when the time of the previous exam came, there were still people who did not finish the papers, and they cried and screamed in the examination room, but it did not happen.

The only exception was Wu Lun, Wu Jie patronized the quick answer today, but he didn't pay attention to this guy. At this time, I looked up and saw that Wu Lun was still sitting there blankly, as if he was dead.

The clerk yelled a few times outside, but when he saw no response, he finally got annoyed and had to find the key to open the door. When I saw it, I couldn't help but be shocked: "Didn't write a word? ”

Wu Jie is also a rin, this question is so simple, it should be difficult for people, this Wu Lun actually handed in a blank paper. It is estimated that after the fraud case in the science field, he knew that he would not be able to hide from it no matter what, and his psychology had completely collapsed.

The officials around the secretary saw that Wu Lun ignored him, and he was about to beat him when he lifted the whip.

The secretary sighed: "That's it, this person is already stupid, don't embarrass him." ”

There are more than 10,000 people in the examination room, and the atmosphere is so solemn, and most of the candidates are reading and reading, even if something strange happens, it is not surprising.

put away Wu Lun's scroll, Wu Jie's sharp eyes could see that it was indeed blank.

The official said to the secretary: "Master, it's not a way for this idiot to stay here, so he simply locked it up, so as not to affect the big competition of other masters." ”

I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and I didn't eat seriously. At this moment, Wu Lun's hair was as messy as grain grass, his face was covered with dirt, and his eyes, nose, and saliva were smeared, and he was so dirty that he couldn't speak. The bookstore was also a scholar, and he couldn't bear to say, "Forget it, he didn't get in the way of others." Scholars have been waiting for this day for ten years, and they have to let people finish the exam. ”

Servant: "Master, this idiot has already handed in the blank papers, even if the papers in the next two games are answered in a dazzle, he can't win, why let him sit here." ”

The clerk shook his head: "He hasn't violated the ban now, and I have no reason to cancel his exam qualification, so let him sit for a few more days." "I told the official to let him watch Wu Lun Ruozhen make trouble, and it would not be too late to drive him out of the examination room.

Li Chunfang's prestige in Shilin is very high, after all, he is from the champion prince. Now, the Jinshi he took the examination has made a name for himself in the cultural and political circles. Li Chunfang, Zhang Juzheng, plus Tan Lun and others have replaced the previous Yang Shen, Tang Bohu, and Xu Wenchang to become a new generation of cultural standard-bearers.

With him in charge, the order of the examination room was very good, and it didn't take long to collect the papers.

After collecting the papers, he sat in the examination room for two more hours. The test paper for the second session was sent down, and it was an excerpt from the Book of Filial Piety. Ask the candidates to choose the form of edict, edict, and table according to this text, and write an essay.

The question of the second exam is a book question in real history, but after the fraud case in the field, the question was also changed, and Wu Jie naturally had no way to plagiarize, nor did he recite the relevant model essays.

However, unlike the hesitation of the first trial poem, even if there is nothing to plagiarize, Wu Jie is full of confidence.

This kind of subject is his forte.

Strictly speaking, this topic belongs to the official document writing of the institution, Wu Jie, who has been an anonymous secretary by the emperor's side for so long, is very familiar with this style and form. Moreover, when he was studying in the Lu family, Mr. Dai had already explained all the elements of official document writing clearly, and Wu Jie himself had written many articles of the same type. …,

Besides, he'd seen it before and knew the gist of it. Even if you don't have a model essay to copy, you can write it yourself and get a high score.

This kind of topic,It doesn't matter what Wencai is,First of all, pay attention to the format.。 For example, according to the 100 points of this question, if the format is correct, you can get 70 points. Secondly, the words and sentences should be concise and intuitive, so that people can read them without ambiguity, so that they can get another 20 points. Plus the text is passable, and you can scoop up a full score.

Just because there is no model text to copy, and he needs to consider it word by word, Wu Jie knew that he would definitely not be able to do it fast by himself, and he was not busy writing it after scooping up the topic.

To be honest, the first three-day exam can be described as a twist and turn, suddenly great sadness and sudden joy, and I didn't sleep well. Wu Jie only felt that his whole body was not strong, and he didn't have a good rest, but he was afraid that his body and spirit would not be able to support it.

Lying on the kang, I looked outside, and Wu Lun on the opposite side was still sitting there. The lamp on the table was like a bean, flickering erratically, and the examination room outside was also brightly lit.

Looking at the lively and silent examination room, Wu Jie smiled: Really speaking, to determine whether a candidate can finalize is actually only based on the eight articles in the first game, and the last two are just a foil. The first test is the candidate's comprehensive cultural quality; The second test is the handling of official documents; The third session examines the administrative skills of the staff.

The writing of official documents can be cultivated in the work of the organs, but if the ability to govern is insufficient, it is not necessary to dispatch the post of real power. If the cultural quality is low, it will not be accommodated by the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty at all.

For the first exam, Wu Jie is very satisfied, and in the last two exams, as long as there are no major problems, it will be passed.

Tonight, the results will probably be available. Oh, not so soon, as soon as the second test is completed in three days, it is estimated that the list of eighty-one lucky ones should be produced!

Thinking like this, Wu Jie didn't know when he fell asleep.

I woke up late the next day, waited for the food to be delivered, got up, ate something, boiled some water and made a cup of tea.

By the time the tea was drunk, Wu Jie had already sorted out a general idea.

Although this scene said that edicts, edicts, and tables can be written, but Wu Jie used to serve the emperor every day, and when he saw the sky dealing with edicts, he saw a lot of them, and he was familiar with this style, so he chose the form of the edict.

He didn't rush to answer the questionnaire, but honestly drew up an outline on the draft, and after careful consideration, revised the outline again.

When you're satisfied, you start writing the first draft.

The whole day passed, and a draft of more than 1,000 words was finally drafted.

In fact, Wu Jie was much more proficient in writing this kind of thing than the other scholars present. To put it mildly, among the more than 10,000 candidates, those who have seen the real edict can be counted on one hand.

But in order to stabilize the period, he is still cautious and cautious.

On the second day, Wu Jie thought about it for a long time, and completely overturned the draft. A new outline was drawn up and a draft was written.

The paper will be handed in tomorrow, and Wu Jie slept late, staying up late to read the manuscript several times, revising it over and over again until he was completely satisfied.

All that remains is to formally transcribe the manuscript on the volume.

I'll leave that until the last day.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Wu Jie was stunned to find that the three days of the second session passed really quickly. It's good to have things mixed up, and I don't feel that time is difficult.

Moreover, in the midst of this repeated writing, Wu Jie actually felt a trace of inexplicable fulfillment and happiness, as if the farmer saw the fruitful fruits after the autumn harvest, but did not feel the plagiarism.

As for Wu Lun, it's too late for Wu Jie to write a question, where do you have the heart to care.

This guy was numb, and he brought food to eat without a bite, but he didn't sleep, and meditated all night long. The candles on the table had long since burned out, and at night, it was impossible to see people clearly. …,

After the papers of the second session were collected, the examiners also finished reading the papers of the first session.

At this moment, in the lobby of the Gongyuan, Li Chunfang, the vice president and the examiner of the eighteenth room were sitting inside, and a large stack of papers was placed on the case in front of him, which was the first suitable work to be selected.

"The rolls are all collected, how's it going?" President Li Chunfang narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

The hall was full of lanterns and candles, and they were dazzlingly lit.

It's already spring, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and so many lanterns have been lit, and the lobby is so hot that he feels a layer of sweat coming out of his body, which is very uncomfortable.

The epithelial flesh of his face is also a little loose, after all, he is a person in his early fifties, and he has been here for five days, and his body is a little unbearable.

The five days in the examination room were very calm, and everything was going on in an orderly manner, which made Mr. Li feel very refreshed.

It's okay, it's the best news.

"President Yuda, the roll has been collected." The examiner in each room is answering at the same time.

"Oh, tell me." Li Chunfang was very satisfied.

A vice president replied: "Master Li, a total of eighty-one students have been admitted to this department. It is divided into three lists, north, south and middle, with 27 places in each list. In fact, the first exam has already been able to determine whether a student can get tribute or not, but there are still two papers to refer to. Therefore, according to the old system of the imperial court, in addition to these eighty-one, eighty-one volumes were selected as candidates for the deputy list. A total of 162 sets of papers have been selected. There is no paper, and there is a judgment from the examiner at the end of each question, just waiting for the final decision of the president. ”

"That's all right." Li Chunfang nodded, presented them all, and sighed again: "Among the more than 10,000 scholars, only one hundred and sixty-two people can enter your eyes. For others, the remaining two are meaningless. But before the final reveal, who knows who will go to the end and still dare to do their best? ”

According to the imperial examination system of the imperial court, after the eighty-one people on the three lists of the north, south, and middle schools on the main list are determined, wait until the examination is over, and then check the papers of the next two fields. If there is a problem, it will be selected from the sub-list, and if the sub-list cannot be selected, it will be searched from the fallen volume.

Everyone nodded and sent the files one by one, and their first review was completed. The rest is Li Chunfang's business.
