The first imperial examination in the history of Yuguo officially kicked off three days later.

Because this was the first imperial examination, and the imperial examination had to be divided into three 'levels', the only places outside the capital were the township examination and the general examination.

In the capital, especially in the Hanlin Academy, because the status and education level were higher than in other places, and the emperor was eager to accept the results of the so-called 'imperial examination system', everyone unanimously decided that all students who went out in the name of the 'Hanlin Academy' could directly participate in the final palace examination.

Therefore, this year, there has not been the legendary situation of 'entering Beijing to take the exam'. Shi Qingqian was still a little disappointed, as if the scope of the influence of the imperial examination system was only limited to one Hanlin Academy.

There is only one day and one exam paper for the palace examination. The content of the examination paper is not the responsibility of Shi Qingqian, but Scholar Hu said that it is more appropriate to set the time of the palace examination at two and a half hours.

You know, these two and a half hours...... But it's five hours, what kind of difficulty does it have to be an exam paper, and it takes someone five hours to write?

In addition, for this imperial examination, the emperor specially repaired a new palace, known as the 'Tengfei Palace'. It means that the students who come to Tengfei Hall to participate in the palace examination can take off like auspicious dragons and good phoenixes, and in addition, there is the meaning of "flying yellow and Tengda" in it.

On this day, not only the students who took the exam felt nervous, but even Shi Qingqian was so nervous that she stayed in the Hou Mansion, since she finished practicing in the morning, she had not calmed down, rubbing her hands left and right, Xue Ying thought she had poked a needle in her buttocks.

After all, she was the one who made this plan, and Shi Qingqian also participated in the discussion of the content of the exam.

What she is most afraid of is that the imperial examination system has not yet stabilized, and it has evolved into the late Qing Dynasty in Chinese history.

Coupled with the fact that Scholar Hu refused to ask her to read the test papers, Shi Qingqian became even more nervous.

Shi Qingqian waited from morning to night, although he had long thought that the first imperial examination might have to be extended to adjust due to various unexpected circumstances, but it was extended for nearly two hours at once, which still made Shi Qingqian panic.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Shi Qingqian finally waited for the news.

I saw Xue Ying running in from outside the courtyard in a hurry, and before Shi Qingqian could react, he had already said loudly: "Miss, Miss! The first imperial examination is over! Someone from the palace spread the word, saying that it was Scholar Hu and the head of the Zhong Academy, inviting you to go to the Hanlin Academy! ”

"Huh? So suddenly? As soon as it was over, he hurriedly called her to the Hanlin Academy, which made Shi Qingqian even more flustered.

No matter what it is, as long as there are no major problems in the imperial examination!

She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurriedly prepared the carriage and rushed to the direction of the Hanlin Academy.

After getting out of the carriage, she hurried again without delay, until she arrived at the place where all the scholars had a meeting, and then she stabilized her breathing a little, pushed the door and walked in.

"Scholar Hu Yuan, what is the matter with calling me?"

I saw that in the center of the huge room, there was a huge wooden table that could seat at least ten people. The head of the Zhong Yuan stood facing the door, and Scholar Hu was on his left. The remaining five people are all respected gentlemen of the Hanlin Academy. Everyone was looking at the pile of blank paper on which they had written on the table.

Hearing Shi Qingqian's voice, everyone raised their heads in unison.

"Little county lord, it's coming quickly." When Scholar Hu saw her, he pointed to the position in front of him, on the right hand side of the head of the Zhong Yuan, "Come and sit down." ”

Shi Qingqian nodded slightly and walked over obediently. Just as she walked over there, Zhong Yuanshou reached out and tapped the paper on the table, and began to explain the intention of calling Shi Qingqian over:

"Little county lord, this is the answer sheet written by the students in today's imperial examination. I think that the little county lord is the maker of the imperial examination system, so I have to call the little county lord over anyway. ”

The head of the bell courtyard is as fairy as everybody.

Thinking that more than ten years ago, it was the first time that Zhong Yuan discovered Shi Qingqian's extraordinary intelligence, and thanks to him, Shi Qingqian was able to enter the Hanlin Academy to study without the slightest hindrance.

Back then, Zhong Yuanshou was actually not too young, but for some reason, he looked like a young man in his early twenties. And now ten years have passed in a hurry, and although there are many more 'traces of time' on her face, she still looks so young.

After Shi Qingqian sat down, everyone also sat down.

The head of the Zhong Yuan divided the answer sheet in his hand into several points and handed them respectively.

"Little County Lord, this questionnaire has been closed to the outside world for the sake of confidentiality before," Zhong Yuan looked at Shi Qingqian and said with a chuckle, "Now that the imperial examination is over, the little county lord can also see if these questions meet your expectations." ”

Shi Qingqian nodded, looking at it very seriously.

This is also a process of continuous correction, after all, not every system is set in stone. Shi Qingqian was very happy that he could be valued by this group of tycoons in the academic world, so he was even more motivated.

However, she had to say that she was too useless in front of this group of people, and their problems were not only knowledgeable, but also open and proportionate. The amount of questions is not large, but each question requires careful and repeated thinking before you can write your own answer.

Shi Qingqian looked at it and couldn't help but praise it again and again.

Seeing this, the head of the Zhong Yuan had no choice but to hold his forehead helplessly, "Little county lord, it's not enough to just praise, we still need opinions and suggestions to make progress." ”

"I can't give this opinion on the content of the exam." Shi Qingqian scratched his head slightly, "Who here doesn't have to have a wide range of knowledge, and you are all good teachers who have been cultivating people for ten years and a hundred years, and you must know more about students and exams than me, but...... There is one thing I still want to say. ”

"But say!" The first road of the bell courtyard.

Shi Qingqian pinched the test paper with one hand, his finger just covered the name of the test paper, and the other finger pointed to the place where he was holding it, and said, "It's the name, I suggest that you can seal the name side when you correct the test paper." In this way, it is fairer to not know who the student is, and to make corrections. After all, it is inevitable that if you meet your own students, you may have some strange psychological ......"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, "It makes sense!" How could we not have thought of it? ”

Shi Qingqian showed a wry smile, after all, he had been taking exams for more than ten years in his previous life.

"All in all, this imperial examination, the process is very smooth," Zhong Yuanshou smiled, showing a positive look to Shi Qingqian, "Wait for the country to release the list in half a month, I believe that the efforts of the little county lord will be effective." ”
