Chapter 126 Entering the Examination Room

The Tang Dynasty Zhenguan has been eleven years. On March 18, the triennial spring festival finally kicked off. The day has come when countless reading mermaids leap into the dragon gate and change their fate!

The first round of examinations is the provincial examination held by Shangshu Province, also known as the Ministry of Rites Examination. The Ministry of Rites Examination is divided into two subjects, the Ming Jing and the Jinshi, and the one that Jiang Zhixuan and others participated in was the Jinshi Department. The content of the Jinshi examination mainly focuses on poetry and poetry and policy theory, the so-called policy theory is the way to govern the country and the family to level the world, and the political level of the students is tested.

Jinshike and Mingjing are different. As long as you are familiar with the scriptures and commentaries, you can pass the test, and the poetry of the Jinshi department requires a deep literary talent and superb political vision to be able to pass the test. The Ming Jing is very easy to take the middle test, but it is very difficult to enter the Shi and the first, so there is a saying that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi".

Before dawn, Jiang Zhixuan got up early. Even if it's a bamboo in the chest, but yesterday I spent the night. But he still didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy. This is a common problem for many scholars, unless the nerves are so big that they are completely pampered. Otherwise, as long as you are a scholar, you will not be able to calm down on the eve of spring.

The mansion of Li Rusong, the young man of Jingzhao Mansion, in the kitchen. Under the command of Mrs. Li'>, a large group of maids and daughters-in-law were busy going back and forth, preparing breakfast for the young master and aunt who lived at home, as well as their two classmates.

In the guest room of the Li Mansion, Jiang Zhixuan, Wu Pei, Mo Shaojie and others each packed up and checked their bags to see if there was anything missing. Among this cadre, Jiang Zhixuan has the most things. Just like the previous township test, wicker, fine salt and other things are readily available. There is even a small charcoal stove, and some delicious food that can be boiled with water, similar to canned food, which are all carefully prepared for the husband. In three days, if the nutrition can't keep up, she is worried that her husband will not be able to play normally!

After the rooster crowed three times, the sky was still not clear. Wu Pei and Mo Shaojie came to Jiang Zhixuan's room with a pair of panda eyes and asked him if he could go. Jiang Zhixuan looked at the two of them and said worriedly:

"Ziyu and Shaojie, you two haven't slept all night, right? Fewer words"

Wu Pei looked at Jiang Zhixuan, who was slightly better than them. I was very impressed and said:

"Where can I sleep, or Zhixuan is much more stable. Look at the way you look, I think I slept for a while last night. ”

Jiang Zhixuan was about to answer, but saw Li Qin yawning and pushing the door and walking in. Everyone looked at him in unison, only to see Li Qin's chubby face with a sleepy-eyed expression, and there were even two pieces of eye feces in the corners of his eyes. Wu Pei sighed:

"No wonder Zihua is so ...... Strong, it turned out that he was so relieved, seeing that today was the day of spring, he could still sleep so sweetly! He meant that he was wide in heart and fat, but he was afraid of hitting Li Qin, so he changed the word "strong" to strong.

Li Qinjing found a place to sit down, yawned several times in a row, and then muttered with some dissatisfaction:

"Early in the morning, a group of maids and wives were noisy outside, and they didn't let people live!"

Wu Pei and Mo Shaojie glanced at each other and were speechless. However, Jiang Zhixuan, as his brother-in-law, couldn't help but say a lesson:

"Today is the day of spring, how can you be so tired? I haven't even washed yet, and after a while, my mother-in-law has prepared breakfast, and we will go to the tribute hospital to take the exam. There's no one waiting for you! ”

Li Qin's eyes were half-squinted, and he seemed to be napping again. After listening to my brother-in-law's words, I stood up reluctantly, and muttered in my mouth: "Uncle is the deputy examiner, even if it is late, won't he allow us to enter the examination room?" ”

Jiang Zhixuan grabbed a pillow on the bed and smashed it at him: "Is it child's play for you to be a spring puppet?" Under the law of the country, how can my uncle show favoritism? Hurry up and wash up! ”

Li Qin was startled, reached out to catch the pillow smashed by his brother-in-law, and gently put it on the stool. Then he smeared oil on the soles of his feet, slipped away, and hurriedly ran to wash.

Li Rusong also got up early, just like Mrs. Li's ">. It's just that today he didn't even have the opportunity to meet his son. After using some breakfast in the kitchen, he put on his official uniform, wore a black veil, and went out in an official sedan chair. As the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, he must strictly ensure that during the Spring Festival, there will be no evil incidents in the entire Jingshi Chang'an. Before going out, Li Rusong hung a calligraphy and painting on the wall of the flower hall as his words of instruction to his son and son-in-law:

"Revenge is the end of the dynasty, and the world is benevolent. If the gold is sharpened, if the mud is in the jun. Studying in Germany, the glow is new. Who do you admire? ”

When Jiang Zhixuan and the other four came to the flower hall for breakfast, they were all infected by this calligraphy and painting, including Li Qin. All of them are agitated in their hearts, and they vow to go all out in the spring and strive for Bo Ta Jinshi and the first!

After breakfast, the four of them stepped into the wide carriage that Mrs. Li had prepared yesterday afternoon, ">. They had to enter Suzaku Street from the Mingde Gate, and after meeting with the thirty-six scholars who lived in the New Dragon Gate Inn at the intersection of the East Market, they would enter the Rite Department together to take the examination.

As soon as the sky was bright, the carriage drove out of the Li Mansion with a gurgling grunt. Slowly walking towards the Mingde Gate, along the way, you can see the test takers walking in the same direction from time to time, either on foot or in a carriage. Everyone's face flashed with expectation, nervousness, and excitement.

When you pass through the Mingde Gate and step onto Suzaku Street, you will already have a huge flow of people. At the intersection of Dongshi, Jiang Zhixuan and others met 36 poor scholars led by Feng Gongmin who were sponsored by Jiang Zhixuan. After greeting each other, the thirty-six scholars actually bowed down to Jiang Zhixuan at the same time, and said loudly: "Thank you!" It seems that they had planned it before.

Jiang Zhixuan waved his hand again and again, urging vigorously: "You guys don't be polite in the same year, hurry up." If you can't enter the exam room late, you will regret it! As he spoke, he got down from the carriage, took Feng Gongmin's hand, and walked forward first.

Li Qin, Wu Pei and others in the car saw this. They all got out of their wagons and walked with them. It's not a show, but the flow of people on Suzaku Street is already very congested, and the speed of the carriage is not even as fast as walking!

When I arrived at the examination room set up by the Ministry of Etiquette, I saw that there were ten entrances outside the examination room. At each entrance, ten plaques hang high. It was a plaque of the ten provinces in the country, and among Jiang Zhixuan's group, eleven of them belonged to the Guannei Dao. Therefore, the people parted their hands here. Feng Gongmin took the three scholars of Huainan Road and went to the entrance of Huainan Road. The rest of the scholars. They also found the entrance to their own road and waited in line to enter.

After a cursory inspection of the first entrance, the group of scholars were scattered again, and each of them passed the second inspection in a mixed manner. A cadre of soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion groped up and down all the soldiers to check whether there was entrainment. Only after passing this second inspection can you enter the Gongyuan inside.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, there was another royal Qianniuwei, under the supervision of the examiners of Chunfu, to conduct the third and final inspection. This inspection was the most meticulous, in addition to turning out all the candidates' bookcases, even the hair, armpits, and thighs were not spared. Such an inspection can be said to sweep away all the literati and all the Svens. For them, it is tantamount to suffering, but they have to accept it......

Some scholars who were lucky and tried to get through the test were found to have entrainment, and even if they were disqualified from the Spring Festival, they were blasted out of the examination room. Taxis who have passed the inspection can receive a number plate at the examiner at the entrance. After entering the examination room with the number plate, you can find your own test room according to the number corresponding to the number plate.

In the Tang Dynasty, the size of the examination house was the size of the iron frame bed of later generations. On the left, right, back, and three sides, there are tightly sealed partitions, and only a desk is placed in the front. There is a small one behind the desk, which is for the candidates to sit and answer the questions. On the ground behind the small table, there are smooth and flat bluestone slabs. Candidates can place their own bookcases and other items in the middle, if they consider to be more carefully prepared, with quilts and other cold things. It can also be spread inside, and when you are tired of answering questions or resting at night, you can lie down in it, facing the desk in front of you, so that when the examiner is inspecting the room, you can see the appearance of the people in the examination room at any time. So. The three sides are airtight, with a quilt and a cold cover, relatively speaking, it is much more comfortable than lying directly on the bluestone slab.

Within three days of the spring festival, unless the question is completed and the paper is handed in. Otherwise, no one will be allowed to walk out of the examination room. 1. Eating and drinking are all done in the examination room. Therefore, every candidate should prepare something to eat more or less. It's just that the vast majority of candidates can think of dry food such as meatloaf. There are even some candidates like Feng Gongmin before, who can't even afford meatloaf, so they can only buy a few steamed buns in their arms. When you are hungry, you can nibble two mouthfuls of steamed buns with cold water, and you can survive these three days.

Those who are really well prepared are still those children of official eunuchs. Their bookcases are stocked with snacks and drinks. For them, the Spring Examination Room is just a unique outdoor dining event, and many people are very excited about it. However, looking at the entire Chunyu examination room, I am afraid that no one has Jiang Zhixuan's comfort.

After entering the examination room and finding your own examination room. Jiang Zhixuan put the bookcase on the desk, and carefully sorted out the items:

First, a thick quilt is placed on a bluestone slab, and then a soft blanket is taken out, folded into a square, and placed as a pillow in the back. Then take out the daily necessities such as wicker and fine salt from the bookcase, as well as a small carefully prepared meat dumpling, eggs, noodles and other foods. Place them all in the divider under the desk so you can access them at any time. Take out another piece of softness
