Chapter 35: The Imperial Examination Begins

Half a month later, Emperor Daqin was crowded with people. Walking to the imperial capital, everywhere is full of people coming and going, and it is extremely lively. Today is the day of the imperial examination. The entire Great Qin people who passed the small imperial examination crowded into the imperial capital.

Since seven days ago, Emperor Great Qin has been overcrowded. All 135 inns in the imperial capital were full. After that, most of the talented people who came to catch the exam could only sleep on the streets. During the day, the sun was shining, and sweat was running down his cheeks.

Even so, their enthusiasm has not diminished. Many people are holding books and reading them tirelessly. There are so many people who can finally lead the group wheel, and only twenty people can stand out. Or the civil and military trials combined.

The imperial examination lasted for three days, and the imperial examination officially began. The literati entered the literary field, and the battlefield warriors entered the martial arts test field. Everyone enters in an orderly manner.

The essay examination room begins, and the test questions are distributed to everyone. There are only three questions on the test. The above topics are: What is politics, what is the state, and what is the people?

There are only three questions. But these three questions have stumped too many people. What is politics? There is no very precise definition of this question, and everyone has different knowledge and understanding. What is the country and what is the common people? It can be said that these three questions summarize too much knowledge from books.

Many test takers bowed their heads in contemplation, and some actually looked left and right, and some scratched their ears and cheeks. Of course, there are a few people who write wildly.

During the candidates' answers, the invigilator wanders among the candidates. Exams are monitored to prevent cheating, and some invigilators also check candidates' answers from time to time. Sometimes he nodded in satisfaction, sometimes he shook his head in disappointment.

In the martial arts examination room.....

The martial arts test is not just a fight to see who has higher martial arts, after all, it is to select the talents of generals who can lead troops to fight, and the battlefield is not a place to fight alone. Therefore, the first test of martial arts is to test the art of war.

The questions in the exam are all summaries and experiences of some classic battles, and the amount of questions can be said to be larger than that of the essay test.

Time flies, two hours have passed, and the invigilator of the literary examination begins to collect the papers. The invigilator was none other than Wang Mingbo. The exam has been completed, Wang Mingbo got up and said, "Candidates, today's exam is over. Go back and get some rest and wait for tomorrow's exams. I hope you can all play well. ”

"Master Xie. The candidates said.

The candidates walked out of the examination room one after another. Some people rejoice, some people are sad. Many people discussed in private: "This kind of test question is really unexpected, and I don't know what will be tested tomorrow." ”

"yes, I guess tomorrow will be harder. Looks like I'm out of action this time. Alas!" said passerby B.

At this time, the person who came over to him and said, "What do you want to do so much, brother." Relax. Not this time, and next time. Let's go to dinner. ”

"Let's go, let's go, why do you drink and think so much. Passerby Ding said.

A few people's hearts are still relatively large, and they actually went to drink together.

Another hour passed for the martial arts test to end, and the candidates for the martial arts test walked out of the examination room one after another. They all dispersed and began to prepare for tomorrow's exams.

Time flies, and the night fades and dawns the next day. The next day's exams begin.

The questions in today's essay exam are all some poems and songs, as well as some questions from books. For the literati who read poetry and books, these questions are not to be a cause for concern.

Everyone wrote wildly, and everyone had a relaxed expression on their faces. It seems that today's test questions were unexpectedly not as difficult as they thought.

The world is unpredictable, I thought it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, but who would have expected that it would be as simple as walking on the ground. I thought it was extremely simple, but who would have thought that it would be as difficult as the sky.

Man can never be blinded by superficial phenomena and needs to see the essence behind the surface. Some things must be done, and if you don't do them, you never know whether it will be difficult or easy. Only experience will understand.

However, the martial arts test site has begun a competition of force, and the top 100 people will be selected today. Go for tomorrow's game. The rules of the game are not one-on-one, but everyone is in a dogfight. The one who can stand on the ground in the end wins.

The scuffle begins. Many people are smart and gang up to deal with others first. He is well versed in the way of vertical and horizontal integration.

Time is a playful thing, sneaking away inadvertently, and when you come back to your strength, it is already a sea of vicissitudes, and things are wrong.

The second day's competition ended quickly, and all the candidates left the venue. Start preparing for tomorrow's final attempt.

Out of the door of the examination room, some people are disappointed, and some people are happy. It doesn't matter if you're frustrated or proud. Since this imperial capital is here, it can't be in vain. If you don't experience its prosperity, it won't be a trip for nothing.

When night falls, the imperial capital is more prosperous than ever, and the lights are bright red,*. Everyone was lost in this prosperous and gentle imperial capital, and they lingered.

In the early morning of the third day, the third and final session of the imperial examination began. Today's martial arts test is very simple, and the top 10 people out of 100 people yesterday will be decided.

Today's essay exam is a blank paper, when the test paper is sent to the candidates. Everyone is in a circle. What's the situation? It's just a blank paper, and there's not even a problem. How to write this.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask Wang Mingbo, who was invigilating, and said, "Lord Qiyu, there are no questions on this paper, how can I answer them." Please also instruct an adult. ”

Before Wang Mingbo could speak, the examinee stood up and said, "Could it be that he couldn't get the question and deliberately teased us?"

"Presumptuous. Said an officer who was invigilating below.

Wang Mingbo waved his hand to signal that the official was okay, and said to the two people who asked the question: "Master Ben knows that you are all confused, there are questions in the first two tests, and there are naturally standard answers to the questions. If you think about it, the difficulty is limited. Therefore, after consulting with Master Li, the Chinese scholar decided that this third exam would be held in the form of a white paper. There are no question requirements, and candidates are free to write as they please. ”

After hearing this, the two bowed to Wang Mingbo and sat down. Wang Mingbo smiled, looked around at the candidate's expression and said, "It seems that everyone understands, so let's start." ”

Everyone picked up the pen and began to write hard, this exam is interesting, I have heard of the candidates handing in a blank paper, but I have never seen the exam send you a blank paper for you to write casually.

Funny, funny, really funny.

Three bells ring, the exam is over. The three-day imperial examination is over. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also became more nervous.

Wang Mingbo stood up and said, "The three-day imperial examination is over. I hope you all have a good result. The results of the examination will be announced after seven days. You can now go back and get some rest. ”

"Master Xie. The candidates said.

The candidates walked out of the examination room one after another. What will be their fate seven days later? Everyone's hearts are full of anticipation.
