Chapter Ninety-Five: Wenqu Xingliang
Lu Ming came to an examination room according to the instructions of the examination card, lined up again to be inspected by the scribe, put all the items he carried with him on the counter for the Academy of Literature to keep on his behalf, and only brought one examination card into the examination room to find his place.

The first two sessions of the pasting scriptures and essays are each tested for one day, and the third policy requires two days of examination, and the overnight quilt is also provided by the examination room, and each candidate is separated from each other and occupies a place.
You can rest three times a day, someone will bring you food and water, and if you want to go to the toilet, someone will guide and monitor you.
Until the end of the exam, there will be candidates to hand in the papers, as long as the small bell around them, there will be two people to come and paste their names, put the test papers in the special box, and take away everything before the candidates can leave.
Every position in the examination room is partitioned by a screen, leaving only an outside window to prevent candidates from peeking at each other, and at the same time, at every other distance, there will be scribes to supervise back and forth.
According to the tips of the exam card, Lu Ming found his position very smoothly and waited for the start of the exam.
About thirty minutes later, the bell in the academy rang again, and the first examination began, and the scribes handed out the examination papers in order.
Lu Ming took the exam papers handed in from the window, this stack of exam papers was very heavy, there were more than 100 sheets, enough for candidates to write all day.
Pasting scriptures is equivalent to the current fill-in-the-blank and silent writing, Lu Ming took a cursory tour of the test papers, and the fill-in-the-blank questions accounted for more than 70 sheets, and the rest were all silently written, each of which had to be silently written a large number of Confucian classic articles.
Looking at so many test papers, I believe that every candidate has already felt a headache before they start writing.
The corners of Lu Ming's mouth rose slightly, revealing a look of confidence, his memory was far better than ordinary people, and he had already memorized the Confucian classics by heart, and basically there would be no problem.
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out: "The exam begins, please submit the papers on time after twelve hours!"
This is Zhou Dongyue's voice, not the voice of the prefect, which means that the imperial examination of the Jade Dragon Mansion has been taken over by him. ā
Thinking about it like this, I feel a lot more relieved, so that I can rest assured that the imperial examination will not have to worry about other officials interfering in it.
Next, Lu Ming began to answer the question.
At first, it was a relatively simple fill-in-the-blank, and the content was from the Three Classics, most of which were examined in the Analects and Mencius.
These two classics, Lu Ming has already memorized them well, and he can answer them easily.
However, because the brush is very slow, it takes a lot of time, which is why the government examination period has to be taken for several days in a row.
Time flies, and before you know it, it is already evening, Lu Ming finished answering all the content, rested for a while, and then regained his spirits, lit the lamp to check the test paper and correct the wrong questions.
The next day, a bell rang suddenly, and a scribe immediately came to take the examination papers, and then handed out the essay papers of the second subject and a stack of drafts.
Most of the essays are based on criticism of current politics and current evils, often "seeing the big in the small", often killing people with an inch of iron, and "striking the first blow" is to defeat the strong enemy, and the so-called "laughing and scolding are all articles".
Lu Ming pondered for a long time, and finally determined the central idea of the article, taking his own ranking in the imperial examination in Jiangxian County as an example to criticize the imperial court's negligence in the management of the imperial examination.
This kind of article is very bold, if an ordinary scholar dares to write like this, it will definitely be directly brushed off by the prefect and thrown directly into the trash.
But Lu Ming is different, he is a poet of Zhenguo, and his literary name is there, and the articles he writes will definitely be noticed by many people.
Moreover, this year's imperial examination has Zhou Dongyue's supervision, which should deter many officials and make them dare not interfere with it, so Lu Ming has no worries at all.
The essay has many blank sheets of paper that can be used as a candidate's manuscript so that the content can be constantly revised and improved.
Lu Ming mentioned in the article that when the imperial examination is held every year, there will be many officials who are bribed by the family, so that those who are talented and literate will be on the list, but others will be inscribed on the gold list, and they will do things that violate the law of the imperial examination.
In response to this situation, Lu Ming unceremoniously criticized that this not only violated the wishes of the saints to establish the imperial examination, but also harmed many talented scholars, not only caused the country to lose good talents, but also allowed corrupt officials to harm the people, and the consequences were extremely serious.
After the first draft was written, the paper industry was full of energy, and the image of Narushu appeared!
But Lu Ming was not satisfied, picked up the manuscript and looked left and right, and shook his head helplessly, "No, I always feel that there are a lot of things missing, and I have to revise it twice!"
Thinking of this, Lu Ming began to revise the article on the draft, and as time went on, he also wrote more than a dozen scraps.
It wasn't until the night that Lu Ming corrected the article and wrote it on the test paper, and he suddenly became angry, and he was suddenly angry, and he was actually a sign of the town.
Lu Ming finally showed a satisfied face, then stretched his waist and fell asleep on the ground.
On the third day, after finishing the essay, Lu Ming began to examine the strategy.
A policy is an essay that discusses current political issues and offers advice to the imperial court.
"I have pointed out the shortcomings of the imperial examination in my essay, and I have made a severe criticism of the management system of the imperial examination, so this article must not write about the imperial examination again. ā
"The policy theory is to offer advice to the imperial court, the country is people-oriented, and the people take food as the TC The most important thing the court needs is the policy of governing the country and the country, so the center of the article should be considered around the lives of the people. ā
Lu Ming first wrote on the manuscript that "the country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented", and first made a simple theory.
At the same time, Lu Ming remembered his experience in Cangzhou City, when the Eastern Demon Army invaded the frontier, Yan Feihu took the opportunity to collect money and oppress the people, and the local people were full of complaints, and the people were struggling to make a living.
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the people want to live and work in peace and contentment, but the corrupt officials are unwilling, and they want to do everything possible to obtain countless benefits from the people, this is a key point of the policy!"
"If you want to govern the country, the imperial court must make good use of all kinds of talents, and all departments must cooperate with each other to promote industry and economy, so that the country can develop rapidly. ā
"At the same time, it is also necessary to strictly supervise all kinds of officials, and not let them be corrupt and prey on the people, otherwise all the hard work of the people will be in vain, not only will the income of every household not be raised, but all kinds of industries and economies will also stand still!"
"To govern the country and the country, we must first govern the country before we can govern the country!"
Lu Ming pondered for a long time, and finally came up with an answer: "If you want to govern the country, govern the officials first!"
"As the saying goes, there is no country without people, no officials and no state, if you want to govern the country, you must first govern its officials. Only good officials can enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and can they rapidly develop industry and economy, and can they make the country rich and strong.
"And how to select talents and abilities is inseparable from the imperial examination, so that it can correspond to my essays, and the effect of the articles can be more obvious!"
The first day passed quickly, and Lu Ming completed half of the text after a long speech and more than a dozen manuscripts.
"Arguments are really more difficult than essays, there are too many hidden problems in the country, but we can't give examples one by one, otherwise it will be a waste of a first-class article!"
"It's so hard to govern the country!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh, although the time was very sufficient, he was unwilling to waste it in vain and continue the exam.
Before you know it, it's late at night.
At this moment, most of the candidates have fallen asleep, and only a few are still revising the test papers.
When Lu Ming wrote the last word on the test paper, the paper suddenly jumped with anger, shining with golden light, and lotus flowers bloomed one after another.
Wonderful pen flowers! Wencheng is passed on to the world!
Immediately afterwards, a stream of talent passed through the roof, rushing to the sky like a column of water, rushing straight into the sky full of stars, and the stars trembled.
With a "boom", the entire academy seemed to shake slightly, and a sound that everyone could hear, this voice was extremely deep and melodious, as if it came from a deep valley.
"What's going on!
"Is there something big going on?"
"How did a star in the sky get brighter and brighter? Could that be ...... The legendary Wenqu Xingliang!"
Somewhere in the Academy of Literature, Zhou Dongyue was also shocked by the strange noise, and he didn't know what was going on at first, but when he looked at the sky outside the window, he was suddenly shocked, "Wenqu Star has been dim for nearly a hundred years, why was it suddenly lit up?"
"At this time, Wenqu Xing is bright, could it be that there are candidates' articles that have spread all over the world and lit up Wenqu Xing?"
"That talent...... It's so powerful!"
Zhou Dongyue looked somewhere, stunned in place for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he muttered to himself: "That powerful talent comes from this academy of literature, could it be caused by Lu Ming's article?
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongyue immediately walked over there.
In the Holy Courtyard of the Inverted Peak Mountain, two white-robed old men stood on the top of the mountain and looked up at Wenqu Xingliang together.
A ray of joy appeared on the face of the old man on the left, pinched his fingers for a while, and said: "Someone used an article to light up Wenqu Xing, my human race will be prosperous within a hundred years!"
"Wenqu Xingliang, presumably the Demon Realm and Nanyi Mountain are going to be restless again, and it is very likely that they will not be able to sit still and find the opportunity to stir up trouble, they are not willing to make our human race more prosperous than their two realms. ā
"This is a sign of great prosperity, our human race has finally come out of a pillar of talent, no matter what, we must protect him, after all, he lights up the Wenqu star, which is a great contribution to the common people!"
"If this son's name is too prosperous, let alone the demon world and Nanyi Mountain, I am afraid that there will be people in the human race who are jealous of him and do everything possible to harm him, you and I have been canonized for a long time, and we have long been transcendent from the world, let's just take a look at this kind of thing, what is the ending, let's let it be!"
"Although we basically don't care about the world, there are some things that the Holy Court has to take care of!"
"You have a point!"
