In the blink of an eye, the week has ended, and it is time for the imperial examination to be re-examined. On this day, the Confucian students who had retaken the exam walked into the place of the exam in an orderly manner, the Bun Academy.

The square behind the main entrance of the Academy was very wide, and Xiao Yun looked up slightly, and saw that the sky was already blue and cloudless—it had been rainy for the past two days. The blue sky at the head of the academy is irregularly circular, and the dark clouds outside the circle are still raining, as if there is a magnificent power to disperse the nearby dark clouds and ensure the smooth examination.

After all the 2,000 candidates entered the Academy of Literature, they walked together in front of the temple, and there were soldiers and officials standing on both sides of the candidates, local officials in front, and in front of everyone were the three state examiners of Jiangnan Prefecture, the Emperor of the State Academy of Literature, and the Xue Zheng of the National Academy of Literature.

On the Shengyuan Continent, the "Academy of Literature" is an extremely important system, and the military and civil officials are called the three major systems of each country, responsible for educating the people, responsible for the imperial examination, and it is also the best school in various places, once the human race fights with the powerful dragon clan or spirit clan, the teachers and students of the academy will rush to the battlefield - this is why the white-clothed examiner on the signing table before recruited people to go to the state of Wu besieged by the dragon clan.

At the county or prefectural level, the status of the court monarch is mostly slightly inferior to that of the county order or prefect, but in each state, the official position of the state court monarch is equivalent to that of the state pastor, and the position of the court is often exceeded, and the overall status is also higher than that of the state pastor. Take Jiangnan City as an example - the status of Jiangnan Yuanjun is greater than that of Jiangnan Prefecture.

The Academy of Literature is also known as the "Palace of Learning", and the person in charge of the Palace of Learning must be one of the four ministers of the cabinets of various countries, the "Minister of Literature", also known as the "Substitute Master", because only Confucius is qualified to be called the "Master", and he is the teacher of the world.

The real person in charge of all the literary academies is only Confucius, whether it is the emperor of the academy or the literary minister, but it is the management of the academy of literature on behalf of Confucius - the Holy Academy is even more so, it is completely inherited and controlled by the Holy Dao family, regulating the contradictions between countries and the human race and saving the human race in danger at a critical moment, just take the dragon clan holy dragon "famine" ten years ago to attack the Wu country, the literary academy has no way to deal with the "famine", it is the Zhao family in the Holy Yuan who went to the aid of Zhao Zhengdao, the Holy Scholar, to stabilize the situation and cut off the "famine".

And relative to the literati. The Academy of Literature is the place where the sages preach the scriptures, and the yamen are only part of the imperial court of the monarch, and in the hearts of many scholars, the Academy of Literature has a higher status.

In front of the three examiners stood a half-human-high bronze incense burner, and three thick sandalwood sticks were emitting green smoke and bursts of incense.

The bronze incense burner was preceded by a holy temple, with red walls and black eaves, and Zhumen Stanley.

There is a standing statue of Confucius in the innermost, and below the standing statue of Confucius are the smaller statues of six sub-saints, namely King Wen of Zhou, Mencius, Xunzi, Zengzi, Zisizi and Yanzi.

Under the two statues of Yasheng, dozens of half-saints are erected.

Xiao Yuan looked at the holy temple in surprise, he could clearly sense that this building exuded a substantial but invisible power, with the might of a mountain and the breadth of the blue sea, and it seemed that he could absorb it directly!

"I'm afraid that it is the holy position talent contained in the holy temple, and it is also the power to dispel the dark clouds. Xiao Yuan thought secretly.

The governor shouted: "Worship the saint!"

Everyone bowed down and bowed.

The king of the state court shouted: "Baiya Sheng!"

The crowd bowed again.

"Worship the saint!" Guoxue shouted.

And they bowed their third respects.

Then the county court recited the "Sacred Texts of the Sacrifices",

Xiao Yuan has this article in his memory, originally written by the half-saint Dong Zhongshu, which lists the name of each saint and a summary, which was added by Confucius's descendant "Yan Shenggong" after Dong Zhongshu's death.

Then, the Academy of Chinese Literature and Literature was reading out the rules of the examination room.

Finally, the governor announced the opening of the examination, and all the candidates entered the examination room according to the number of their examination cards under the leadership of the officials.

Fang Yun took a closer look at his exam card, which read "Tianjia Chen San", and then slowly searched for it with the bookcase on his back.

The examination room was a row of black huts connected together, and the road between each row was large enough for two carriages to run side by side.

The examination room sits in the north and faces south, the height of the house is less than a zhang, if Xiao Yuan enters the inside, he can touch the walls on both sides of the east and west if he stretches out his arms, which is very narrow.

There was a table, a chair, and a toilet with a washer with water on the table, and nothing else.

Xiao Yuan found his examination room, stood at the door and looked at it, from the moment he sat down, no matter what happened, once he left the examination room, it would be regarded as the end of the exam, and he could not re-enter the examination room.

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but clench his fists and slowly walked into the examination room.

"I can definitely do it!" Xiao Yuan said firmly in his heart, thinking of his preparation, Xiao Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. But he suddenly said: "I'm afraid I won't be as nervous as I am in the exam." ”

Xiao Yuan sat quietly, raised his head and looked at the sky, because he was blocked by the eaves, he could only see half of the sun.

The sunlight in the academy became extremely soft, and Fang Yun did not feel any discomfort even if he looked directly at the sun.

Fang Yun thought of the Holy Dao talent aura in the Holy Temple, and couldn't help but think of the talent sword that made Wu Jiangjiang split, and his heart was even more eager for this mysterious power.

The sound of horse-drawn carriages was heard in the east, getting closer and closer.

After a while, a carriage slowly appeared in front of the examination room, and a man in Tsing Yi took out a stack of yellowish paper from the carriage and handed it over.

Xiao Yuan stood up, took the test paper with both hands, and said with his head bowed, "Thank you." ”

The paper delivery person nodded slightly, glanced at Fang Yun, and continued to set up the carriage to hand out the papers to the next candidate.

Fang Yun put the test paper on the table and sat down, looking at the test paper that was both familiar and unfamiliar, revealing a strange wry smile.

"Even if you go to another world, you can't get rid of the exam, you were a top student in your previous life, and I don't know if you will continue to be the first person in China in this life. ”

Xiao Yuan thought in his heart, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and did not start writing immediately, but looked at the test paper first.

He once read a story, and also personally tested it for the students of Peking University back then, some people took the exam, and there were a lot of test questions, but it was only ten minutes to take the test, and it was impossible to answer them, and many people hurriedly began to answer the questions, hoping to write as much as possible.

However, the last question of the test paper reads: Answer only the last question.

Even if he is a talented person from Peking University, five of the thirty-two people in the class scored zero points.

So Xiao Yuan would check each test paper every time he took the exam, not to look at the last question, but to carefully see if there were any damages, mistakes or omissions.

Once, in his previous life, during the final exam, Xiao Yuan found that there was a problem with the second test paper, and asked the teacher to change it in advance.

With a sweetness, Xiao Yuan developed a habit.

The test paper is much larger than Xiao Yuan's previous exam papers, with a total of fifty pages, thirty pages with exam questions printed on them, and the other twenty sheets are blank.

The quality of the paper and printing is excellent, the yellow paper is no worse than the post-earth level, Xiao Yuan is not surprised, this is a talented world, if it is backward in the basic aspects such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone printing, etc., it will have been wiped out by the rampaging dragon clan and the bloodthirsty spirit clan.

Fang Yun read it roughly and had a rough idea.

The first three sheets of the test paper are examined to the life or deeds of the saints, especially the deeds of the saints who have gone through hardships, among which the saints Confucius and the six sub-saints must be examined, which seems simple, but the answer must be the words in the scriptures of the saints, and you can't answer in your own words, otherwise it is not a holy word.

The third one is the poetry and song of Kaolisheng.

The next fifteen sheets are one sentence each, and then fill in the original text at the front or back.

The last nine are all dictated large or even entire chapters of the sacred writings.

Xiao Yuan sighed softly.

In the past, Xiao Yuan's memory was very average, and most of the content he memorized did not match the content of the exam. And he has lived in the Zhennan General's Mansion for ten years, although there are also special private school teachers in the Zhennan General's Mansion, but he is not there and values him at all. So it limits his thinking. If nothing else, it would be difficult for that Xiao Yuan to be admitted to the middle school boy.

Xiao Yuan thought about his thoughts, silently recalled his memory and understanding of the classics of Chinese culture in his previous life, and then decided the overall situation in his heart, and said secretly: "Brother Xiao, let me help you realize your wishes." Then he brought pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and other things to the table.

Others are decent-(Xiao Yuan found that the silver dragon pen was too eye-catching, so he put it away), but the two paperweights used to press the paper are more peculiar, other people's paperweights are specially carved jade, metal, and strange wood, and his paperweight is just a black stone-like thing - this was given to him by Wei Jianshu.

Wei Jianshu is worthy of being the pillar of Wei State, and he can even guess the standard and content of the exam questions, Xiao Yuan recalled what Wei Jianshu said about him.

Xiao Yuan laid out the first test paper, pressed it on the top of the page with a paperweight, looked at the first question, poured water into the inkstone, and slowly grinded it with a long strip of ink ingots.

Xiao Yuan was thinking and studying ink, but he had no clue about the first question.
