Chapter 36: A poem
It took less than a day to finish the essay test paper, Lu Yu didn't know if anyone was faster than him before, under normal circumstances, the essay test paper could be completed within two days, which was basically excellent.
In the past, the difficulty of the literary test was in poetry and strategy, but this time there were more arithmetic test questions, from the difficulty of the arithmetic test paper, the level of mathematics in this world is not very high, staying at the level of satisfying daily calculations, it seems that Xu Xia did not mention to Lu Yu that he wanted to test arithmetic, I don't know if I forgot it, or I don't know it at all.
Isn't it too high-profile to finish the essay test paper in one day?
High-profile and flamboyant is not Lu Yu's character, the so-called gun shoots the first bird, the first rafter rots, and the secrets on his body are not suitable for exposing himself to the spotlight.
Just as Lu Yu was eating roast chicken, nibbling beef, and lying comfortably on the straw mat with his eyes closed, Yao Guang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, distributed a stack of test papers to many examiners for review on the examiner's platform.
Yang Hao, who was manipulating the space hub organ, raised his eyes and said: "The level of this year's candidates is good, there are hundreds of candidates who hand in the papers in one day, can there be ordinary candidates among these candidates?" ”
Yao Guang shook his head and said, "No! Usually the children of the major families have a great advantage in this kind of literary examination, followed by the disciples of the major sects, ordinary candidates will inevitably neglect some studies while cultivating, and it is good to be able to barely pass the test in the end. ”
Yang Hao also knew that what Yao Guang said was the truth, in terms of cultivation resources, the overall level of the disciples sent by the various sects was the highest, in terms of cultural heritage, the wealthy family was undoubtedly profound, and the disciples in the family had experienced careful cultivation and teaching since childhood, except for the uncontrollable factor of talent, the cultivation of the children of the family was the highest.
Ordinary candidates don't have such a good life.
Without cultivation resources, the realm ascension is like a snail moving forward, without the teaching of a famous teacher, everything is obtained by ten years of hard work, and there is no need to say that the hardships are naturally needless to say.
The imperial court is not without discovering this stubborn disease, openly and secretly suppressing all major sects and families, and even hinting that those super families and sects must not send more than three people in each scientific expedition, otherwise even if they get a good ranking, they will be deliberately suppressed and fall off the list.
In this regard, all major schools and families also recognize such regulations, after all, which is not what other families want to see, and balance and mutual containment is the royal road for stable development.
Of course, Lu Yu didn't know that Xu Xia said that completing the literary examination in two days was excellent, and that was for ordinary candidates, as for those disciples sent by the family sect, there were not a few who completed the literary examination in about a day.
However, Lu Yu didn't waste a day, after resting, he began to cultivate, even if the aura here is not cultivated, as long as it is constantly spit into the body, it can also have the effect of tempering and purifying the muscles and bones of the body, like the cultivation of the body, it is not the same as having the assistance of aura and not having aura, after all, the foundation of this world is aura.
The next day, Lu Yu thought that the time was almost up, and he knocked on the numbered wooden sign with satisfaction, and soon two scribes appeared in front of Lu Yu.
"Number: 119657, reconfirm whether to submit the paper!"
"Confirm!"
Two scribes sealed Lu Yu's test papers, the scientific examination has strict rules, the candidate's name is not allowed to appear on the test paper, there is only a string of numbers on the test paper, and the number is randomly distributed, only two examiners can pass the number, view the specific information of the candidate.
Under normal circumstances, the scribes didn't know that Lu Yu was a fairy and ghost, and their task was to seal the test papers and hand them over to the examiners.
The test papers will not be copied, the workload of copying is too large, millions of candidates have to copy the test papers, not to mention the time, that is, the manpower is afraid to be tens of thousands, there is really no need for this.
On the other hand, each test paper of a candidate will be reviewed by an examiner in a group of three, and the test result will only be recognized by the examiner if the three examiners have similar marks.
There are only two results in marking the test papers: pass and fail, those who pass will enter the next round, and those who fail will exit the examination room, plus the examiners are all monks, and the spirit is strong, and it doesn't take a few breaths for a test paper, so the speed of marking the test paper is extremely fast.
"Huh!"
"What's wrong?"
One examiner paused while marking the paper, which immediately attracted the attention of the other two examiners.
"This person has actually answered all ten arithmetic questions, and this person's arithmetic level can enter the household department!"
What Lu Yu didn't know was that the arithmetic test papers that he thought were not difficult were already considered to be of a very high level in this world, and usually candidates didn't care too much about the arithmetic test questions, and being able to answer five or six questions was considered to be above average, but Lu Yu answered all the questions well, which was somewhat beyond the understanding of the examiner.
"Could this candidate be a child of a family in the household department?"
"There is such a possibility, write down his number first, and after the exam is over, check the candidate's situation, if it is the children of those officials in the household department, forget it, if it is not to find a way to recommend him to the household department", the examiner did not think much about it, but still began to review it according to the normal process.
Because there are only tens of thousands of candidates who hand in the papers on the second day, there are still casual discussions among the examiners, and if all the test papers are collected on the last day, these examiners will not be so relaxed.
After a while, an examiner suddenly patted the book case and stood up excitedly and said: "Good poetry, this is probably a first-class good poem in this scientific examination." ”
"Read it to us, what a good poem!"
"How is it compared to the "Beauty Song" and "Persuasion Poem" that circulated in the capital before?"
"Could it be that there is another poet among the candidates......
"I'll read you this poem: Lying in a lonely village and not mourning, Shang Si is the national military wheel. Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream. ”
"Good poetry!"
"Worried about the country and the people, there are such ambitious candidates, this is the luck of the court and the people!"
Yang Hao, who was controlling the space cardinal's console, heard the examiner's conversation, and the aura on his body suddenly rose steadily, and the coercion of the sea soared into the sky, making the examiners and scribes on the entire high platform all startled, and they all turned their heads to look at Yang Hao.
"Lord Shangshu, this is ......", Yao Guang's calm and waveless eyes burst out with a fine light, as if he had a premonition of something to remind.
"Gaffe!"
Yang Hao immediately restrained his breath, and the vast coercion disappeared into invisibility, as if everything was a fantasy just now.
"Lord Shangshu, but after listening to that poem, I felt something in my heart, and I felt that the realm was loosened?"
Yang Hao nodded, since his realm stagnated ten years ago, he has been looking for opportunities in many ways, but when it comes to his realm, ordinary opportunities are already difficult to have any effect.
Unexpectedly, listening to a poem today actually made Yang Hao's realm show a hint of loosening, which gave him another glimmer of hope.
"Go and find out, who made this poem, you must pull him into the door of poetry!"
Yao Guang turned around and left, returned after a while, and said beside Yang Hao: "It's Lu Yu, the candidate from Luzhou!" ”
"Lu Yu!"
Lu Yu's "Song of the Beauty" and "Persuasion Poems" have already moved the capital, and Yang Hao has already heard of them, but they are not as foreseen by Xu Xia, so the poet wants to invite Lu Yu to join the poetry gate.
There is no problem at all with Lu Yu's two poems to join the poetry gate, but the requirement to join the poetry gate is not to be able to write poems. "Song of the Beauty" does push the description of beauty to a new height, but this kind of poem gives people a feeling of not loving the country and loving the beauty and having no ambition, which is not in line with the concept of the poet. As for the "Persuasion Poems", although it is well written, persuading people to make progress and perseverance can be rewarded, but the monks do not focus on reading, and what they care most about is the improvement of cultivation.
"This person has great ambitions and lofty ambitions, and he is worried about his people when he lives in the temple, and he worries about his king when he is far away from the rivers and lakes, which is the material that can be made!"
"Can this person become a core disciple of this sect?"
"Although he has the potential to become a core disciple, Mu Xiu will destroy it in Lin Feng, just introduce him to the inner disciple first, if he rashly allows him to obtain such a high status, it will harm him!"
"What the head said is reasonable", when it comes to the things in the poetry gate, Yao Guang no longer calls Yang Hao Lord Shangshu, "As far as I know, Lu Yu's family is poor, his parents died, it is really not easy to get to this point, it can be seen that his will is tenacious, if he can maintain this original intention, he will definitely be the right-hand man of the head in the future." But I checked his information just now, and found that his qualifications were mediocre, and his cultivation had just reached the second level of qi refining a few months ago, so I am afraid that it would be difficult for such a cultivation to stand out in this big exam. ”
Yang Hao squinted his eyes slightly, Yao Guang's words were not surprising, it was difficult for ordinary candidates to have any outstanding qualifications.
"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, everything will be discussed after the exam!"
Lu Yu didn't know that a poem he wrote casually had attracted the attention of Yang Hao, the current head of the poetry sect, and it was impossible to keep a low profile, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
