A few days later, the triennial test kicked off again.

In the afternoon, people from all over the country flocked to the outside of the Tribute Courtyard and waited, waiting for the verification to enter the courtyard.

After entering the venue, you will have to acclimatize to the environment, and the exam will officially start early tomorrow morning.

The content of the examination is similar to that of the township examination, but the competition is more intense, after all, those who are qualified to participate in the examination are all successful, and none of them are mediocre.

Of course, there are very few exceptions to cheating in relationships.

The time is also much longer than that of the township test, so that candidates have more time to play their own level.

The exam is divided into three sessions of three days each.

The first session mainly examines the four books and the five classics, the second examines the theories, edicts, edicts, tables, and judgments, and the third examines the policy theories.

The examination category is no stranger to many people, after all, they have all experienced the baptism of the township examination.

However, this time you have to take the test more carefully and do not tolerate small mistakes, after all, it will be a fierce competition.

Lifters from all over the country gathered together, and there were many outstanding ones.

There were more than 2,000 candidates, ranging from 200 to 300 admitted. In other words, the acceptance rate is almost 1/10, and an average of 10 people will be eliminated 9, so you can imagine how difficult it is to be promoted to Jinshi.

Once you enter high school, most of them have the opportunity to become officials.

Even if you can't be ranked for a while and can't be an official, you can still receive the imperial court and enjoy a lot of special treatment...... In short, it's much more beautiful than lifting people.

In this examination, there is no one who has attracted much attention than the candidates who won the rankings of Xie Yuan and Ya Yuan in the township examination last year.

Under normal circumstances, the chances of these high school students winning the championship are relatively high.

Of course, it is not excluded that some originally unknown candidates will become blockbusters and finally be named on the gold list.

And this time in the test, Gu Ming is undoubtedly the one who has attracted the most attention, and there is no one.

Although there were several outstanding moves in the same period, such as Lu Meng, who was tied to Gu Ming for Xie Yuan, it was the leader of Gusu Mansion, which had the reputation of being the hometown of talents.

There is also a well-known talent from Guanzhong, Qiao Yongjin, it is said that this person can compose poetry at the age of three, and at the age of five, he will be right and difficult to show many talents, and he will be admitted to the show at the age of eleven...... In the Guanzhong area, it is known as a prodigy.

Xie Yuan Wang Hao, who is from Lingnan, also has a lot of halos on his head......

However, no matter how many prodigies there are and how many halos there are, Gu Ming is enough to stand out from the crowd with just one word "hand-picked".

Not to mention the students, just say that there are many civil and military officials in the capital who are secretly concerned.

Of course, it is not known what they have in mind......

After all, a person who is valued by the emperor, once he is the top student in high school, his future is even more open.

Entering the Hanlin Academy is a certainty.

If nothing else, it will inevitably end up in the Cabinet.

The cabinet is a special existence, except for the emperor, it can be called the highest authority of the dynasty, and the three divisions and six ministries are under its supervision and jurisdiction.

Therefore, Gu Ming's movements will attract the attention of many ministers.

……

When the hour came, the four examiners and more than 20 examiners entered the room.

The examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and most of the chief examiners and fellow examiners came from the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy, after all, this was a crucial examination for the imperial examination, and the imperial court would naturally attach great importance to it.

Candidates lined up in turn to be examined.

In addition to verifying the identity, it is also necessary to search for illicit goods...... Any books, notes, etc., are forbidden to be brought into the exam room to prevent anyone from cheating.

Cheating in scientific research has existed since ancient times.

The methods are also varied...... For example, in the past, someone hid a cheat sheet in props such as steamed buns and candles and brought it into the examination room.

Subsequently, in order to eliminate this phenomenon to the greatest extent, candidates were forbidden to bring anything unrelated to the test into the venue.

Even brushes are not allowed, after all, there are also things hidden in the barrel. At that time, these related items will be distributed uniformly.

However, the examination is much more relaxed.

After all, those who participate in the examination are all lifters, and they have to give some face.

Moreover, when it comes to the level of the exam, even if you are lucky enough to bring a little cheat sheet in, it will not be of much use.

There are many categories that require candidates to play on the spot.

Of course, if Gu Ming wants to carry private goods, it's simple, take the package with him to find out?

But he doesn't need to cheat on the spot...... To be precise, he has a large number of related books in his mind, and he has long been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention the poems.

The only thing that requires a bit of attention is the strategy of the third game.

This is also a crucial exam, after all, the imperial court selects future officials, and it is not enough to have literary talents, but also to have a strong concept of governing the country.

The strategy is to test whether a person's ideas are beneficial to the court and whether they are different.

In fact, this aspect is not a big deal for Gu Ming...... After all, he is a time-traveler, and he does not dare to say that he is familiar with history, but he still knows some basic pros and cons of governing the country.

The key is how to blend together, and also to adapt to the current situation, the concept should not be too advanced, too advanced may be self-defeating.

In short, it is necessary to grasp the psychology of those in power.

After entering the examination room, Gu Ming successfully found his own house.

The number house of the Gongyuan in the capital is arranged according to the thousand-character text, and Gu Ming's number house is also Qiao, which is the same as his name: Mingzihao.

This is not deliberately arranged, it is a complete coincidence.

After all candidates have entered the hall and entered their respective halls, they are not allowed to leave the halls at will.

The Gongyuan in the capital has designed a thatched toilet at the end of each row of houses, if the candidates are in a hurry, they can hang the "Gong" card outside, which means to go out of Gong.

Only with the permission of the examiner can you leave the house to go to the latrine, and the door is not allowed to close...... In fact, there is no door at all, so it is convenient for the examiner to monitor whether the candidate is cheating by pretending to be a courtier.

Compared with the problem of eating, drinking and Lazar in the house during the township test, this is already a lot more humane.

In short, whether it is the township examination or the general examination, for the candidates, it is both an opportunity and a torture.

Don't dare to eat too much food and drink too much water to minimize the chance of going to the latrine...... The dignified man can finally understand the irritable mood of the woman in those days.

Fortunately, Gu Ming doesn't have to worry about these physical functions at all.

That night was destined to be a sleepless night for the vast majority of candidates.

After all, this will be a huge turning point in life, and Yali Mountain is ......

In the midst of the torment, the sky was white.

Exams, officially begin.

The first exam is the Four Books, the Five Classics and the Scriptures.

This requires candidates to be familiar with the classics related to the undergraduate examination, such as "University", "The Mean", "The Analects", "Mencius", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", and "Spring and Autumn".

Of course, it's useless to just read dead books.

In addition to the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, the exam questions also require candidates to write poems and scriptures.

The so-called meaning of the scriptures is based on the words in the scriptures, and the candidates explain their meanings, which is equivalent to an argumentative essay.

In Gu Ming's previous life, Jingyi had developed into a fixed literary style, that is, the Bagu Wen, which was criticized by countless people in later generations.

Fortunately, in addition to the word limit for the examination of scriptures and meanings, there are no other specific requirements for the examination, and there is a lot of room for play.

It can also be seen from this that the dynasty was far more enlightened than the Ming and Qing dynasties in Gu Ming's previous life.

Of course, if it weren't for such an atmosphere, Gu Ming's Dream of Red Mansions and The Story of the West Chamber would have been 404 long ago.

On the first day, Gu Ming didn't start writing.

In fact, few candidates started writing on the first day.

After all, most candidates have not rested well, and they need to adjust their mentality and spirit, and chew the exam questions well.

As the saying goes, sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters.

Only when you are confident can you write like a god.

Although there are many questions in the first exam, there are generally three questions and four book questions, four scripture questions, and one poem with five words and eight rhymes, a total of eight questions.

However, the word count requirement is not much, except for poems, which are generally between 200 and 500 or 600 words per question.

It is in line with the old saying: what is concentrated is the essence.

If you really have a mature idea, two or three hours is enough to complete all the exam questions.

The exam lasts for three days, so there is plenty of time for candidates to think and consider.

Of course, you can also write a few more articles for a question, and finally pick out the most satisfactory one and transcribe it neatly.

……

"I don't know if the Jiangnan candidate Gu Ming will cause any anomalies in this examination?"

"It's hard to say......"

The four examiners were idle, and they couldn't help but get together and discuss.

"The old man feels that last time maybe it was just a coincidence, and it happened to be a vision from heaven, not necessarily because of this."

"Alas, to say that the poems made by this son are indeed impressive to the old man, but it is a pity ......"

"What a pity? Why didn't Lord Qiu say it? ”

"It's a pity that he didn't do his job, and he wrote a few messy books, but there are still many ministers in the DPRK and China, and the ladies in the border palace are also ......"

"Lord Qiu's words are wrong! In fact, the official thinks that Gu Xie Yuan has created a clear stream for today's literary world, painting sound and color, elegant and vulgar appreciation, which is amazing......"

"Hehe, Master Feng, I'm afraid that you have read the sage books for many years in vain, haven't you read his books as an old man?

Of course, the old man looked at it with a critical eye......

There is certainly some merit in the whole article, but it cannot hide its dross.

The emperor's grace is vast, and the emperor reads his talent and makes an exception to appoint him as the solution to the yuan. As a result, this son did not want to repay the results, and pursued profit-oriented.

The dignified Xie Yuan had to learn from those down-and-out scholars to write some folk vernacular books.

That's it, it's vulgar to write it in a different way, it's simply insulting......"

"Lord Qiu, as far as this official knows, the emperor has also praised Gu Sheng's book, when you say this, is it possible that you are questioning the emperor's vision?"

"You ......"

"Alright, don't quarrel with the two adults. This is an examination room, so if the candidates hear the two adults arguing, wouldn't it be reduced to a joke? ”

"Yes, yes, the examination room is heavy, and we should not discuss the affairs of the candidates......"

After the persuasion of the other two examiners, a small turmoil finally calmed down temporarily.

Before you know it, the sun is sinking in the west.

After a day of brainstorming, the candidates simply ate something and lay down in the small number room and fell asleep.

Gu Ming took advantage of this opportunity to start writing......

Of course, he is not doing the problem, but completing the daily tasks of the system.

Even in the exam, you can't give up your daily experience.

Especially after experiencing the palace incident, Gu Ming realized the importance of strength and status.

The reason why the little prince is so arrogant is not because Gu Ming currently has no foundation in the capital.

If Hanlin is chosen, then how dare the kid be so blatant?

At the end of the day, no matter where you are, you must have a feared strength or status.
