Chapter 166: Township Test

When the dawn of the morning dawned, the entrance of Zhejiang Gongyuan was already full of sedan chairs, and the township test was different from the small test, at least in the invigilation procedure was many times stricter than before.

Unless the imperial court suddenly attaches great importance to Zhejiang's township examination, Hanlin will not be sent to edit it as the main examiner. At the same time, the provincial political envoy also sent an official to the department, called "promotion", and this kind of promotion and transfer is mainly to maintain the order of the examination room. At the same time, there are also the so-called temporary supervisors who patrol the imperial envoys of Zhejiang, and the officials sent by the Zhejiang Inspectorate Department to serve as invigilators, and the officials of various prefectures in the province and the county orders have also arrived last night, and all of them have been appointed as fellow examiners.

A township test is equivalent to bringing all the officials of the province together, up to the school, the government, the imperial envoy, according to the inspection, down to the county order of the officials and counties of each prefecture, a large group of officials and old men gathered together, in this tribute courtyard that accommodates thousands of people to meet, and then announced the test questions, Zhao Tixue repeated the rules of the examination room drawn up during the period of Emperor Taizu, and then issued an order, and the examination was officially opened.

The cannon sounded, the door of the Gongyuan finally opened, and the examiners had appeared in all corners of the examination room according to their orders, they moved chairs and sat solemnly one by one, the exam was going to be conducted for a whole day, a total of three, the candidates tossed, in fact, these examiners also tossed, don't look at the usual five of them and six people, you are a government magistrate and a county magistrate, but here, they don't even have the qualifications to enter Minglun Hall to rest, they can only bask in the sun outside, if it rains, they still have to brave the rain to patrol the exam.

After that, the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and hundreds of students came in with Kaolan, and Su County, who was also on patrol at this time, walked leisurely between the examination booths with his hands behind his back, watching the candidates who were roll-calling, searching, and queuing up to enter the Gongyuan one by one. If he sees the students in this county, the Su county commander will smile at him, as for the other counties, naturally there is no good face to look at, people are calf protectors, if the people under their own rule can be examined, this is an honorable thing.

However, Su Xianling's eyes flickered, but he was searching for something, finally. He saw a familiar figure, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

This person also saw the Su County Order after the body search, and walked towards the Su County Order very presumptuously with Kaolan in his hand.

Su County Ling couldn't help frowning, you must know that candidates are not allowed to move around at will after searching their bodies and getting the number plate. can't talk to the examiner, it can be said that this guy is really arrogant enough, and he actually walked directly towards him. So much so that on the other side, an examiner who was in prison noticed this situation and was about to stop drinking, but when he recognized the candidate, his face became strange. So he deliberately pinned his face to the side, and Quan didn't see anything.

It was Xu Qian who came, Xu Qian changed into a new shirt and carried a huge test blue. walked up to Su County Ling and said, "Su County Ling is good." ”

Su Xian Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly, so he had to put on a straight face and said, "What are you talking like, what." Didn't leave anything behind, did you? ”

Xu Qian said: "My lord, everything that should be prepared is ready." Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. ”

Su Xian Ling shook his head at him and smiled bitterly: "Hasn't this east wind been recruited by you?" That's it, let's take the test, if you win, the county will have to eat you a glass of water and wine. ”

Xu Qian smiled hehehe, and said goodbye to Su County's order, today his mood is calm, the most important thing for the exam is psychological element, many people who are brilliant in writing usually write articles are full of flowers, but when it comes to the exam, it is always not ideal, it is a problem of psychological quality.

And now Xu Qian is an old fritter, calmly found his own examination shed, after sitting in, there was an errand to lock the door, this exam is actually similar to squatting, no matter who you are, whether you are a general or a poor family, but if you want to have some enterprising heart, you have to obediently nest in this examination shed.

Xu Qian was bored waiting for the question to come out, and happened to see a line of words engraved on the exam table, saying: "In the year of Yichou, the prince is here to answer the paper." ”

What year is the year of Yi Chou, Xu Qian can't figure it out, but when he saw the words on it, Xu Qian couldn't help but want to scold: "There is no such thing, you are still a scholar, no wonder the people of later generations have this bad habit, it is all taught by your miscellaneous words and deeds." ”

The words on this were obviously deliberately erased, thinking that the officers of the Gongyuan found it, so they tried their best to erase it, but the carving was too deep, and it was still particularly eye-catching. Xu Qian scolded in his heart, and suddenly felt that his sense of justice exploded, so he took scissors from Kaolan and carved a sentence under this line of small characters, saying: "In the autumn of the second year of Jiajing, Xu Qian, a student, watched Senior Wang's words here, and his heart was moved, saying: Woohoo! Scholars are still like this, and the etiquette of the Chinese people is also mourned. ”

After writing, Xu Qian smiled, this little prank made his exam career a little more interesting, and at this time the exam question was finally released, and the question said: The living are many.

Although this year's township test is added to Enke, but the question is much more difficult than in previous years, Xu Qian looked at this question, was stunned for a while, and couldn't think of where this sentence came from, carefully recalled, and finally had a little impression, the original sentence of this sentence is: There is a road to making money, there are many people who live, and there are few people who eat; Those who do it are sick, and those who use it are comfortable, and the wealth is enough. The title is taken from four of the sentences and only the words 'the living' are written, but those who have poor memory are afraid that they will not even be able to understand the title.

At this point, Xu Qian couldn't help but feel lucky, fortunately, he had a good memory and a solid foundation, otherwise a single such trick would be enough to kill him.

He meditated on Cheng Zhu's explanation of this sentence for a while, and then groaned, picked up his pen and began to solve the problem.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

An urgent recital was sent to the palace.

Although Emperor Jiajing reduced the number of factory guards and abolished many town guards, he was more concerned about every move in the local area than the first emperor, and almost every once in a while, there were factory guards from all over the country who came in.

The reason why this secret letter has attracted attention is that this letter is from Zhejiang, and the news from Zhejiang is now very concerned by Jiajing, especially after the two decrees arrived in Zhejiang, Jiajing almost every once in a while had to inquire about the current situation in Zhejiang.

There is something good at the top, and what can be done at the bottom is naturally what it likes, so the factory guards in Zhejiang are naturally more hardworking.

Emperor Jiajing held the book with great interest, it seemed that everything that happened in Zhejiang made Jiajing find fun in it, and of course, the most important thing was that there was a person in Zhejiang who made Jiajing find interesting.

For example, a few days ago, an express news came, saying that Hu Qincha was ruthlessly tricked by Xu Qian, and he was sent to Hangzhou and ordered to deal with Wang Mingchuan and other prisoners, but this Qincha did not even touch anyone, and this group of prisoners had been sent away by Xu Qian on a packing boat.

And the factory guard also handed over the news, saying that this Qincha had a grudge against Xu Qian because of this, and had secretly revealed the news that Xu Qian didn't want to be successful in this township test.

For this matter, Jiajing had no energy for several days and nights, couldn't eat well, and slept unsteadily, not because he was worried that the surname Xu would have no future, but that Jiajing was constantly thinking, if it was himself, how would he solve it?

Jiajing is a self-proclaimed very smart character, but there is a demon surnamed Xu in Hangzhou, and he can't help but have some thoughts of comparison in his heart. 、

Thinking about it, this problem seems to be unsolvable, because this waiter of the Ministry of Rites is a Qincha after all, and he interferes in the township test, no one has anything to say, plus many people in the officialdom are guilty of negligence, so they are obedient to this Qincha, if he is a student like Xu Qian, there is really no way to do anything about this matter.

Therefore, Jiajing has already decided that this time Xu Qian is finished, it is just a matter of the exam, he really can't intervene, holding the book sent in his hand, he is not in a hurry to read it, but it is worth playfully Huang Jin asked: "Huang Banban, has Zhejiang's township test begun?" ”

Huang Jin bowed and said, "It's over, it started the day before yesterday." ”

"Hmm." Jiajing smiled slightly, and said neatly: "Do you say that Xu Qian can be lifted this time?" ”

Huang Jin was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he ask him about this kind of thing? The so-called art industry has a specialization, how can he guess this kind of scholar's business? However, he thought about it for a while and replied, "Xu Qian has the blessing of His Majesty, so he should be able to win it." ”

Jiajing shook his head and said: "This may not be, if the main exam is Qincha, Xu Qian may not have this luck." ”

Huang Jin said in astonishment: "Isn't the township test a fool? Even if he is the main examiner, he is embarrassed by Xu Qian, but I am afraid that he may not be able to recognize his papers. ”

Jiajing smiled faintly and said: "There are many famous halls here, although the rules of the imperial court are becoming more and more strict, and the prevention is fraud, but there is a way for these scholars." Hey......" Jiajing actually sighed rarely, and said: "If that guy really fails the exam, he simply doesn't want this fame, and goes to Jinyi Weizhong for business like his father, I will leave a place for him, this time, I'm afraid he will be more than lucky." I couldn't sleep for a few days, thinking about this question, little student, after all, my arms can't reach my thighs, and the matter of the exam is unfounded, and I can't speak. ”

Huang Jin smiled and said: "It's better to come to the factory guard, the factory guards are all their own people, it's better than always mixing with a group of scholars." ”

Jiajing smiled noncommittally, and then opened the secret recital handed by Zhejiang, his eyes were a little scattered at first, but then, he couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Strange! ”
