Chapter 5 Entrance to the examination room

Lu Zhan said unhappily: "He is just quick-witted, and he is far from remembering, and that can only be done by Jinshi." Besides, Jiangzhou has nine prefectures under its jurisdiction, and the Dayuan Mansion Literary Academy is just one of them. If he is really a genius, the 'Academy' of the State Academy of Literature, Scholar Li will definitely admit him to the State Academy of Literature and study with the top talents in the state as a child! Do you think it is possible? Scholar Li is a member of the third rank like the state pastor, and his literary rank is even higher, and he is responsible for the education of tens of millions of people in a state, and without his approval, no one is worthy of being a prodigy!"

Everyone laughed secretly, Fang Zhongyong went to Lujiazhen last year, and it happened that Lujiazhen held a small poetry meeting, and as a result, Fang Li asked Fang Zhongyong to compose poems at the poetry club, overwhelming the readers present, and making the students in Lujiazhen gloomy. Lu Zhan was among them, and more than once the other party Zhongyong was not convinced.

Liang Yuan said in a low voice: "What Lu Zhan said also makes sense, Fang Zhongyong is too young after all, and the best poem is only at the level of 'out of the county', not yet at the level of 'Dafu', but with time, there may be higher achievements." ”

Lu Zhan also said: "Yes! He has at least one poem that surpasses Dafu to 'Mingzhou' to be considered a prodigy, and as for 'Zhenguo' and even higher realms, it is not something we can talk about." ”

Counties, prefectures, prefectures, and countries, the first level is larger than the first level, which is the general administrative division of the Shengyuan Continent.

Ge Xiaomao whispered: "In fact, it is not bad to write poems out of the county, many talents can't write poems out of the county in their lifetime, even if people can write poems out of the county, it is enough to hold a banquet to celebrate." ”

Lu Lin, who had not spoken, said in a deep voice: "The barbarians are in turmoil, Qingguo is looking at the tiger, and they are competing for fame and fortune, so it is better to think hard to resist foreign insults!"

Lu Zhan and Ge Xiaomao showed a look of shame, and Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Lu Shishi, we're just talking, don't be so serious." ”

"Alas, the border soldiers have repeatedly lost battles with the barbarians, Liu ...... Some people ignore the danger of the country for their own selfish desires! If I can be admitted to the examination, I will definitely serve in the army with a pen, not to serve the imperial court, but only for the sake of my people!"

Lu Lin's words were impassioned, and the neighbors were silent, except for a few people who ridiculed, most of them were full of admiration.

There are three barbarians in the Shengyuan Continent, namely the grass barbarians, the sand barbarians and the forest barbarians, and the three barbarians have various races, such as wolf barbarians, tiger barbarians, etc., which are said to be the descendants of the hybrid between the demon race and the human race.

Fang Yun took a closer look at Lu Lin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a square face in the national character, this person is also the most righteous person in the private school, when Fang Yun first entered the private school, someone bullied him, thanks to Lu Lin for helping.

Among the five people, although Lu Lin doesn't talk much, he is the most respectable.

However, even he didn't dare to scold Zuo Xiang Liushan in public.

After Lu Lin finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had made a mistake, although Fang Yun was not as upright as Lu Lin in the past, but because of his poor family background, he knew the hardships of the world, and he was bent on gaining fame and then stabilizing the country, and he was a hardcore main battle faction.

Fang Yun immediately said: "What Lu Lin said is that the man should be on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud!"

Lu Lin showed a look of approval, and Liang Yuan smiled: "Fang Yun, your level of sycophants is getting higher and higher. ”

The rest chuckled.

Everyone chatted while following the team, Fang Yun rarely spoke, he had been digesting his memories.

Walking to the gate of the Academy, two expressionless soldiers stood there, one of them stretched out to Fang Yun.

"Exam cards, paperwork. ”

Liang Yuan handed the bookcase to Fang Yun, Fang Yun opened the bookcase, first took out the top wooden exam card and identity document and handed it to a soldier, and then handed the bookbox to another soldier.

The soldier on the right took the bookcase and looked through it, which contained brushes, ink ingots, inkstones, pen holders, pen holders, paperweights, bamboo tubes containing water, sugar cake cloth bags and other things, the soldier nodded and handed the bookcase to Fang Yun.

The soldier on the left glanced at the exam card, and then looked at the identity document, on which a portrait of Fang Yun was drawn when he applied for the exam, and described Fang Yun's physical appearance in words.

"What's the matter? you're the one who came in an ox cart?" asked the soldier with a serious face.

Fang Yun replied: "Last night, I was attacked by four gangsters with Dayuan Mansion accents, but fortunately I picked up a life, and it was Dr. Li from Cishengtang who bandaged the wound, and he could testify for me." ”

The soldier nodded and said, "Every time there are three ancestors in the imperial examination, there are three ancestors sitting in the holy courtyard, looking down on the world, no one can hide from the holy eyes, you yourself know the consequences of the Dao." ”

Xiao Sheng Zhi said. ”

The soldier handed the exam card and paperwork to Fang Yun, and let Fang carry it in.

Fang Yun's friend realized that Fang Yun had been beaten and was very angry, but this was the Academy of Literature, so he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only suppress his anger in his heart.

The square behind the main entrance of the Academy of Letters is wide, Fang Yun looked up slightly, and saw that the sky near was blue and cloudless, this blue sky was irregular and circular, and the dark clouds outside the circle were still raining, as if there was a magnificent power to disperse the dark clouds nearby and ensure the smooth examination.

After all the 2,000 candidates entered the Holy Academy, they walked together in front of the Holy Temple, and there were soldiers and officials standing on both sides of the candidates, local officials in front, and in front of everyone were the three county examiners, the county magistrate, the county literary academy, and the prefectural literary academy.

On the Shengyuan Continent, the "Academy of Literature" is an extremely important system, and the military and civil officials are called the three major systems of each country, responsible for educating the people, responsible for the imperial examination, and it is also the best school in various places.

At the county or prefectural level, the status of the court monarch is mostly slightly inferior to that of the county order or prefect, but in each state, the official position of the state court monarch is equivalent to that of the state pastor, and the position of the court is often exceeded, and the overall status is also higher than that of the state pastor.

The Academy of Chinese Literature is also known as the "School Palace", and the person in charge of the School Palace must be one of the four ministers of the cabinet, the "Wen Xiang", also known as the "Dai Master", because only Confucius is qualified to be called the "Master", and he is the teacher of the world.

The real person in charge of all the literary palaces is only Confucius, whether it is the emperor of the academy or the literary minister, but he manages the literary academy palace on behalf of Confucius.

The Academy of Literature is the place where the sages preach the scriptures, and the yamen are only part of the imperial court of the monarch, and in the hearts of many scholars, the Academy of Literature has a higher status.

In front of the three examiners stood a half-human-high copper incense burner, and three thick incense sticks were emitting green smoke.

Before the copper incense burner was the holy temple, with red walls and black eaves, and Zhumen Stanley.

There is a standing statue of Confucius in the innermost, and below the standing statue of Confucius are the smaller statues of six sub-saints, namely King Wen of Zhou, Mencius, Xunzi, Zengzi, Zisizi and Yanzi.

Under the two statues of Yasheng, dozens of half-saints are erected.

Fang Yun looked at the temple in amazement, and he could clearly sense that this building exuded a substantial but invisible force, with the majesty of the mountains and the breadth of the blue sea.

"That's probably the talent contained in the temple, and it is also the power to dispel the dark clouds. Fang Yun thought secretly.

The county order shouted: "Worship the saint!"

Everyone bowed down and bowed.

The county court gentleman shouted: "Bai Yasheng!"

The crowd bowed again.

"Byere!" shouted Fu Xue.

And they bowed their third respects.

Then the county court recited the "Sacred Texts of the Sacrifices",

Fang Yun has this article in his memory, originally written by the half-saint Dong Zhongshu, which lists the name of each saint and a summary, which was added by Confucius's descendant "Yan Shenggong" after Dong Zhongshu's death.

Then, the Fuwen Academy was reading out the rules of the examination room.

After the last, the county order announced the opening of the examination, and all the candidates entered the examination room according to the number of their examination cards under the leadership of the officials.

Fang Yun took a closer look at his exam card, which read "Di Ding Chen San", and then slowly searched for it with the bookcase on his back.

The examination room is a row of small houses connected together, and the road between each row is large enough for two carriages to run side by side.

The examination room sits in the north and faces south, the height of the house is less than one zhang, and if Fang Yun enters the inside, he can touch the walls on both sides of the east and west if he stretches out his arms, which is very narrow.

There was a table, a chair, and a toilet with a washer with water on the table, and nothing else.

Fang Yun found his examination room, stood at the door and looked at it, from sitting down, no matter what happened, once he left the examination room, it was regarded as the end of the examination, and he could not re-enter the examination room.

Fang Yun couldn't help but clench his fists and slowly walked into the examination room.

"I must be able to!" Fang Yun said firmly in his heart.

Fang Yun sat quietly, raised his head and looked at the sky, because he was blocked by the eaves, he could only see half of the sun.

The sunlight in the academy became extremely soft, and Fang Yun did not feel any discomfort even if he looked directly at the sun.

Fang Yun thought of the talent aura of the Holy Temple, and was even more eager for this mysterious power.

The sound of horse-drawn carriages was heard in the east, getting closer and closer.

After a while, a carriage slowly appeared in front of the examination room, and a person took out a stack of yellowish paper from the carriage and handed it over.

Fang Yun stood up, took the test paper with both hands, and said, "Xie Luxie." ”

The paper giver nodded, glanced at Fang Yun, and continued to hand out the papers to the next candidate.

Fang Yun put the test paper on the table and sat down, looking at the test paper that was both familiar and unfamiliar, revealing a strange wry smile.

"Even if you go to the other world, you can't get rid of the exam, you were not a scholar in your previous life, and I hope you won't become a scumbag in this life. ”

Fang Yun thought in his heart, and did not start writing immediately, but looked at the test paper first.

He once read a story about some people taking the exam, and there were a lot of questions, but it was impossible to answer them in only ten minutes, and many people hurriedly began to answer the questions, hoping to write as many as possible.

However, the last question of the test paper reads: Only answer the last question.

After Fang Yun read this story, he checked each test paper every time he took the exam, not to look at the last question, but to carefully see if there were any damages, mistakes or omissions.

Once, Fang Yun found that there was a problem with the second test paper, and asked the teacher to change it in advance, and if he waited for the first paper to be changed, it would delay a lot of time.

With a sweetness, Fang Yun developed a habit.

The test paper is larger than the test paper of Fang Yun's previous exam, with a total of 40 pages, 30 pages are printed with exam questions, and the other 10 are blank, if there is a problem with the previous exam paper, the candidate can manually re-copy the whole test paper.

The quality of paper and printing is excellent, only a few decades behind the level of the earth, Fang Yun is not surprising, this is the world of talent, if it is backward in the basic aspects of pen, ink, paper, inkstone printing, etc., it will have been wiped out by the demons long ago.

Fang Yun read it roughly and had a rough idea.

The first three sheets of the test paper are the life or deeds of the saints, among which the saints Confucius and the six sub-saints must be examined, which seems simple, but the answer must be the words in the scriptures of the saints, and you can't answer in your own words, otherwise it is not a holy word.

The third one is the poetry and song of Kaolisheng.

The next fifteen sheets are one sentence each, and then fill in the original text at the front or back.

The last nine are all dictated large or even entire chapters of the sacred writings.
