Chapter 220: Assessment (2-in-1)
Shengjing, a city known as the city's majestic city, has always been a place of yearning for ordinary people and many cultivators. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shengjing is different from other cities, it is the core of the entire Haoran Kingdom, and it is far from being comparable to other regions in terms of land area and cultural level.
Who would have thought that this city was still a barren area overgrown with barren grass back then, and it was precisely because Meng Yunxing was here that it had the current scene.
Therefore, this city is also known as the city of miracles by people all over the world!
Gu Qiubai is now in this city of miracles......
"Sure enough, it's full of flowers......" Gu Qiubai sat on top of a tavern, sighing in his heart.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of high-rise buildings, full of restaurants, inns, literary institutes, and Taoist halls...... Row upon row, the rhyme is pervasive, and it is prosperous.
The ordinary vendors in front of him shouted loudly, and the cultivators on the street were even more numerous, exuding bursts of spiritual power fluctuations.
Soldiers in armor patrol the streets, maintaining stability in the city.
Faintly, these soldiers' minimum cultivation is in the foundation building period, and they are even stronger than ordinary sects!
"It's worthy of Shengjing, the garrison is really tight, it's like this outside the palace, what kind of scene is it inside the palace?!" Gu Qiubai exhaled.
It seems that what I thought about before was not wrong, and it would definitely not work to sneak into this matter rashly.
"Brother Minsheng, have you heard, the Hanlin Academy is now recruiting classics, do you want to give it a try?" Inside the tavern, a young man who looked like a literati spoke.
"Well, I thought, but how can this position be so easy to sit in!?" The man who was called Brother Minsheng sighed.
"Brother Minsheng, why did you say this, I remember that the position of the classic is just a civil official from the eighth grade, right?"
"Brother Zhiwei doesn't know, although this classic is only a civil official from the eighth grade, there are countless people who rush to it."
"You know, what kind of place is this Hanlin Academy, it is the head of the Heavenly Academy!" The man who is known as the livelihood of the people said, "This rigid selection condition alone is enough to brush off a large number of people......
"Is it, what selection conditions, so harsh?"
"First, the candidate's cultivation shall not be lower than the foundation building period, second, there needs to be a letter of recommendation or token from an official above the third grade, and third, he needs to be proficient in literature and history and at least one musical instrument, hey, tell me, just these conditions, how many people can meet them?"
"Yes, the rest of the conditions are okay, but why should this classic be proficient in musical instruments, isn't it embarrassing?!"
"Brother Zhiwei doesn't know, do you know who the chief examiner is this time?"
"Who is it?"
"It's a public loser who is called a music idiot!"
"I see......"
Who doesn't know that this public loser is a good and happy idiot, but he has a high position in the Hanlin Academy, and it is past to say that music theory is regarded as an assessment condition.
Gu Qiubai's eyes flashed, and he directly threw a silver ingot on the table, and turned to leave.
"Classics, it seems that the news is correct." Gu Qiubai thought silently.
The so-called classics are actually similar to some librarians, who are responsible for guarding and sorting out some historical books.
Of course, most importantly, occasionally refer to the work of revision.
This is also the purpose of Gu Qiubai's trip, originally he was also preparing to immediately go to the Hanlin Academy, but now it provides an opportunity for him.
After all, there are only two types of people who can stay in the palace for a long time and have an easier identity.
Eunuchs and scholars of the Hanlin Academy!
The eunuch Gu Qiubai passed first, and his identity was too sensitive.
And if she wants the lord of a peak to serve people, Gu Qiubai can't do it.
The rest is only the position of the Hanlin Academy, and Gu Qiubai originally planned to find a public loss to recommend himself.
With what he has learned, he is likely to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy by the Gongyi Bo, so that he can enter the palace justifiably.
However, this is too eye-catching, it is easy to attract attention, and if you enter through the assessment, the risk will be much less.
After all, a small civil official from the eighth rank should not be noticed by many people.
Moreover, the recruitment of classics starts today, and the competition will start tomorrow, and a total of three people will be recruited, so it will not waste too much time.
Although the conditions for the recruitment of local classics this time are harsh, they are also relatively open, and they are all talented people in the world.
This time, the place where the exam was taken was also set up in the Wenxuan Pavilion, which was not far from the Imperial Palace, and it was a place similar to a academy run by a group of literati.
Of course, this academy does not teach, it is not open often, and it is occasionally used by a group of literati as a place to cook wine and discuss Taoism.
It took Gu Qiubai half a day to get here, but there were still some people who were overcrowded, of course, most of them came to see the excitement.
There are still very few people, after all, the real competition will not start until tomorrow.
Gu Qiubai looked over, only a few young scholars registered their names on the side, and they didn't see the public loss Bo.
I think I'll only be able to see it tomorrow when I actually compete.
Gu Qiubai slowly walked to the registration table and said, "I'll sign up." ”
Although there were many onlookers nearby, there were not many who really signed up, so Gu Qiubai didn't have to queue up.
The registered scholar glanced at Gu Qiubai and said very politely: "Please Mr. enter the information into this jade slip." ”
Gu Qiubai took the jade slip, pasted the jade slip on his forehead, and then a trace of spiritual sense passed into it, and entered the identity information.
This kind of jade slip is all traitive, just like many exercises, engraved with spiritual power.
This is not only convenient and fast, but also makes it easier for the reader to browse the information, which alone is much better than some computers and mobile phones in later generations.
There is not much information that needs to be filled in on the jade slip, it is nothing more than name, age, place of birth, etc., which is similar to the resume of later generations.
Soon, the information was filled in, of course, these were not real information, but some information prepared by Gu Qiubai in advance.
This information can also be found and does not leave any flaws.
After all, Haoran Kingdom's information system is not as perfect as modern times, and it is easy to get through it under casual disguise.
The registered scholar confirmed, then nodded and looked at Gu Qiubai and said, "Please show the letter or identity token, sir." ”
To sign up for this assessment, you need to have a recommendation letter or identity token of an official position above the third grade as a guarantee.
Gu Qiubai had already prepared this, and soon he took out a golden token, and there was a Wei character written on the back of the token!
It was a few years ago, when he first entered the Xianxia world, he waited for the identity token from Wei Junshou after the Qingfeng Poetry Meeting.
Wei Junshou is a four-grade official position, which just meets the requirements.
Moreover, Wei Junshou and Gongyi Bo have a very good relationship, and showing this token can also get some care from Gongyi Bo.
Gu Qiubai was not afraid that his identity would be revealed, he had already investigated, just a year ago, Wei Junshou had passed away due to illness.
Even if you want to check it, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out.
When he heard the news, Gu Qiubai was still in a trance for a while, although Wei Junshou and him only had a one-sided relationship, they still had the grace of knowing each other.
Gu Qiubai couldn't have imagined that Wei Junshou, such a master of the Jindan stage realm, would also say that death would be death.
However, I heard that in the early years, Wei Junshou fought on the battlefield, and he had already left a secret wound, and it was not easy to survive until now.
Of course, although Wei Junshou has passed away, according to the rules of Haoran Kingdom, this token is still valid.
All officials who are above the third rank will retain their positions for three years if they have not done anything wrong during their lifetime.
When the registered scholar saw this token, he was obviously stunned, and asked, "Excuse me, sir, is this the personal token of Lord Shouwei of Nanyang County in the past?" ”
"Exactly." Gu Qiubai nodded.
"Sir, please wait a moment." The registered scholar hesitated for a moment and spoke.
Gu Qiubai knew that this scholar wanted to confirm, so he simply nodded and stood with his hands in his hands.
The registered scholar walked briskly into the hospital, and only after about five minutes did he come out and take the token.
"Please come here tomorrow to participate in the assessment." The registered scholar spoke.
When Gu Qiubai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded lightly.
Gu Qiubai found an inn nearby to stay, and it wasn't until the next day that he got up and went to the assessment location.
At this time, the examiners in the examination room had already entered the ranks, and they were standing in front of the academy.
"You're Yu Le?" Gong Yibo looked at Gu Qiubai and said.
Yu Le is the pseudonym used by Gu Qiubai this time.
"Yes, sir." Gu Qiubai nodded.
"How do you have Lord Wei's token?" Gong Bo squinted his eyes slightly.
He doesn't have many friends in his life, and Wei Yingsheng is one of them, otherwise he wouldn't have gone all the way to participate in the Qingfeng Poetry Meeting held by Wei Yingsheng.
Therefore, he will never allow anyone to use Wei Yingsheng's reputation to do unrighteous things after his death.
It's just that this token is indeed Wei Yingsheng's, so he didn't rashly attack, but began to ask the reason.
"If you go back to the princess, Xiaosheng was fortunate to meet Master Wei once, and he resonated with Lord Wei in poetry, so when he left, Lord Wei handed me this token." Gu Qiubai naturally made it up, "Master Wei said that this token is his personal belongings, so that one day if I have nowhere to go, I will look for him." ”
"It's just that when Xiaosheng found Master Wei later, his old man had already passed away, so Xiaosheng wanted to come to Shengjing to try his luck, but he didn't expect to encounter this assessment, and it just so happened that Xiaosheng's conditions were also consistent, so I wanted to give it a try."
Gong Yibo touched his beard, looked at Gu Qiubai and said: "Brother Wei's poetry attainments have long had a great Confucian style, you can resonate with Brother Wei in poetry, and I think your attainments in poetry are not weak." ”
"A little bit of it."
"Haha, it's a good one." "Okay, you will be allowed to participate in this assessment, although you will show your ability, if you are really talented, I will naturally not show favoritism." ”
"Lord Xie loses." Gu Qiubai arched his hand.
"Okay, follow me into the compound and start the formal assessment." The public loser was admitted to the hospital slowly.
Gu Qiubai followed closely and also stepped into the hospital.
Immediately, the public lost the gate of the courtyard and forbade people to enter.
After a while, the group came to a relatively spacious compound, surrounded by birds and flowers, planted with begonias, fragrant and fragrant.
"It seems that this Gong Yi Bo is also a nostalgic person, and he also planted Lord Wei's favorite begonia flower here." Gu Qiubai thought secretly.
At this time, there were already more than 50 scribes standing in the courtyard, male or female, who should have come to participate in the examination of the classics of the Hanlin Academy.
"He's the alien kid?"
"It should be right, it looks like a hillbilly, and you still want to fight with us?"
"I heard that this kid has the recommendation token of the former Nanyang County Guard, and Lord Gongyi has always been good friends with the Nawei County Guard, shouldn't he be biased towards him?"
"Hmph, don't forget, this time, Lord Yushi's palm pearl and Taishi Ling's son also came to participate in the assessment, and Lord Gongyi didn't have the courage to favor him."
"That's right, there are many family members who are participating in the assessment this time, and there are many family members who are in official positions above the fifth grade, if this kid wants to fish in troubled waters, then he will make a mistake."
"A bunch of idiots, don't you have a chance of winning, we're just here to be a stepping stone for their group of boys." Someone disdainful.
Gu Qiubai naturally listened to all these people's discussions, but his face remained unchanged at all.
He didn't have to deal with a bunch of stinky hairy boys.
"So, don't waste any time, let's get started." It's very simple.
"Please choose a long table and stand at any of you."
Gu Qiubai looked at it, in front of the public loss game, there was a red long table neatly placed, and he casually walked to a long table and stood still.
After all the people who participated in the assessment stood still, Gong Yibo looked at the more than fifty people who participated in the assessment in front of him, and said: "Since it is a classic for the examination, it naturally needs to rely on your efforts to classify them. ”
With a wave of his hands, one by one the jade slips floated to the long tables of the people who participated in the assessment, a thick pile, and on each long table, there were thousands of jade slips, not to mention them.
"There are 1,000 jade slips on each long table here, including historical records, Taoism, poetry, and documents. Gong Yi Bo said.
Gu Qiubai pursed his lips, the timeline here, one minute is six snaps of fingers, and three snaps of fingers is thirty seconds!
Within thirty seconds, it is difficult to classify 1,000 jade slips.
After hearing the words of the public loser, most of the candidates looked embarrassed, but they didn't expect the first competition to be so difficult!
Gu Qiubai wasn't worried, his spirit was so strong, just in a flash, he had already finished reading all the jade slips.
"Now, let's go!" The public loser did not give them extra time and announced it directly.
All the people who participated in the assessment couldn't care about anything else at this time, and desperately used their spiritual sense to check the jade slip!
Gu Qiubai finally knew why he wanted to limit his cultivation to the foundation building period, after all, only the foundation building period had spiritual sense.
Most of the classics are organized books, and there is no spiritual sense, so in the face of such a huge library, there is no way to start.
Thirty seconds is a flash!
At twenty seconds, a little girl with clear eyebrows raised her hand high.
At twenty-one seconds, another young man with a soft light in his eyes also raised his hand!
Most of the candidates are at the end of the knot, sorting all the jade slips into categories.
Gu Qiubai was actually able to sort out the jade slip in the third second.
It's just that he didn't want to make a head, so he waited until twenty-five or six seconds and raised his hand.
Subsequently, the assessment officials checked the correctness of the jade slips one by one, and the results did not come out until a quarter of an hour later.
Of the more than 50 candidates, more than 40 were directly eliminated, and only a dozen or so were promoted!
Among them, Gu Qiubai naturally also included.
Gong Yi Bo glanced at Gu Qiubai lightly, and announced directly: "Next, the next round of assessment!" ”
