Chapter 354: Difficult

In this life, Zhu Luan understood why the queen of heaven was often called the devil by courtiers and scholars before.

What did that person do to the national exam?

The categories of the six arts of gentlemen have been inherited for thousands of years, but even so they have not escaped the clutches of the queen of heaven.

It took six years for the queen of heaven to persuade the ministers and nobles, collect the opinions of the scholars, improve on the basis of the original six arts of the gentleman, and combine the characteristics of the reformed new literary examination subjects to transform the so-called new six arts.

"Zhou Li, Bao Shi" has a cloud: "Raising the son of the country with the Tao is the six arts of teaching: one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five royals, five is six books, and six is nine numbers." This is the so-called "six arts" of "five meridians and six arts".

Therefore, the six types of arts originally inherited from the saints are rituals, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

But now the second game of the township test is mathematics, so mathematics was naturally the first to be replaced, and it was replaced with a chess path that also requires mathematical brains.

Archery and Imperial Cause overlapped with the subjects of the martial arts test, and were replaced with dance and painting.

Therefore, in the third art of the Great Zhou National Examination, the six art categories are etiquette, music, dance, painting, calligraphy, and chess.

Before the encyclopedia topics were launched in the morning, an official came down to collect the categories of the six arts selected in the afternoon.

Each candidate will be sent a slip of paper with their name and the six arts category written on it, and then the candidate will draw a circle on the six arts of the gentleman of their choice and hand it in.

In the afternoon, the most tedious examination of the six arts will be arranged according to the candidates' choice.

Zhu Luan looked at the six big characters of ceremony, music, dance, painting, calligraphy, and chess neatly arranged on the paper with his name written on it, and felt that life was difficult.

I didn't think it was good to watch other people's exams before, but now that it's him, Zhu Luan has to sigh that the students who can pass the Great Zhou National Examination are really amazing.

Under that person's chaos, every student can no longer do a good job in the art of article making, but also "through the five classics and six arts", if it is not for that person under the persuasion of the minister to change the six arts to choose one to pass, otherwise only the all-round can pass the township examination of the Great Zhou.

"Can a student with art skills pass the ancient township test......" Zhu Luan muttered secretly.

It's really not easy for Da Zhou to be a reader.

I have to say that most of the reform measures of the Queen of Heaven are very effective, but now Zhu Luan is in trouble when he looks at the six big characters on the paper stick.

She, or Princess Yingluan, doesn't have any talent.

"After all, it's not cultivated as an art specialty......," Zhu Luan sighed secretly.

Her first two lives were spent trying her best to survive, and most of what she learned was practical skills.

If Princess Yingluan really has any specialties, I'm afraid they are all skills related to human life.

In order to gain self-preservation ability and catch up with the curriculum of Tiance Academy as soon as possible in her childhood, she devoted all her energy to studying and practicing martial arts, and her slightly longer achievements were thrown to the battlefield by Emperor Chengzong's order.

Therefore, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, a skill that everyone needs to learn, she really hasn't formally learned it in her previous life.

Five Rites...... As an embarrassing existence in the royal family in the previous life, Princess Yingluan's identity made her unable to directly learn the etiquette of the royal family, nor could she learn the etiquette of the princes' worship, in short, in the end, the etiquette officials in the palace took an attitude towards her.

Happy...... The music she came into contact with was either in the Qinglou or on the battlefield, and on this occasion, who knows if the examiner can accept it.

Dance...... Because when she was at a banquet in the palace, the queen of heaven liked to watch her dance, she didn't can't dance, but her dancing movement was a bit big, and Princess Yingluan didn't dance easily, so she put it on hold first.

Draw...... The thing she is best at painting is the Great Zhou Dynasty Emblem...... Very practical skills.

Book...... If you want to shine, your handwriting is likely to be recognizable...... The current price of Princess Yingluan's Mobao seems to be quite high in the antique shop......

In this way, only chess remains.

The official who received the paper had already walked back and forth in front of Zhu Luan several times.

"Haven't you picked yet?" The official looked at the female student with dissatisfaction.

Therefore, women learn from men to participate in the township examination, and they don't even have a decent talent when they look like this.

Most of the other candidates were prepared to specialize in one subject in advance, and they had already decided, looking at the hesitant Zhu Luan, the official inevitably disliked it.

Zhu Luan smiled bitterly, drew a circle on the chess and handed it to the official.

The Six Arts are different from other subjects, they are not things that can be held on temporarily, so Zhu Luan did not focus on this in advance.

In the original plan, as long as she did well enough in the previous exams, it would be nothing to pull back a little bit in this subject.

If there is no Duan Lizheng.

Zhu Luan exhaled.

I don't know what he chose.

In the information she investigated in advance, this Duan Er Gongzi is the kind of "all-rounder" that the queen of heaven is ideal. ”

It's the same as his brother Duan Haochu.

Etiquette, music, dance, painting, calligraphy, and chess, the two sons of the Duan family are proficient.

Although he is slightly inferior to his eldest brother in terms of stock, Duan Lizheng's calligraphy and painting, chess scores, and music scores are also hot in Shendu.

It is said that the ancient rituals and sword dances made at the celebration of Tiance Academy were even more shocking to the audience, so that the people of Shendu did not know the taste of meat in March.

The last time it had such a big impact was Duan Haochu.

Duan Haochu, who entered the Shendu at the beginning of the year, became a guest of the major families in the Shendu when he was not admitted to Tanhua with the six arts that amazed the world.

And Duan Haochu is best at music and chess in the six arts, he chose chess when he took the township test, and he chose music when he tried it.

Duan Haochu's birthday gift to Zhu Luan on her nineteenth birthday was a piano score composed by himself.

Not long after Zhu Luan received it, she encountered the fire of the other garden, and not long ago she learned that the piano score came out after she left, and now it has been praised as a masterpiece that can be passed down to the world.

But when she learned about it, she inevitably had mixed feelings.

Zhu Luan stopped recalling that incident in time, and put all his attention on the encyclopedia general knowledge exam questions in the morning.

There are a total of 100 questions, but only two hours, which is enough to squeeze the last energy of all candidates.

……

……

The sun rises in the middle of the sky, and every examinee is sweating hot. The volume of encyclopedia common sense was collected, but all the officials were busy preparing for the six arts in the afternoon, and the volume was sealed in advance or sent out in the evening.

Zhu Luan glanced at the official errand who was obscuring his name, compared with the previous two games, the importance of the volume this time was obviously different, there were more than two guards around each official errand, and the leader of the official errand seemed to have changed.

After all, after last night's incident, the official who escorted the roll was even if he didn't die.

Zhu Luan breathed a sigh of relief, in this case, the possibility of the test paper being manipulated is also much lower.

After lunch, the official began to announce the arrangements for the afternoon loudly, and each candidate was finally able to leave the dormitory where he had stayed for two and a half days, and was divided into six sessions according to his previous choice.

The voice of the ceremonial officer rose and fell, calling the names and times of the candidates one by one

Zhu Luan chose chess, naturally it should be the sixth game in order, and the last person who was called should also be at the end, Zhu Luan stretched his body and was about to move.

Zhu Rong came from the side, Zhu Luan smiled at him and was about to ask him what he chose, when suddenly the loud voice of the ceremonial official was heard.

"Zhu Ying of Tianquan Academy, the third scene."

I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
