Here we have to talk about the test method of the township test.

There are three exams in total, and each exam is on the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth days of the first month, and each time you have to enter the venue one day in advance, and the exam papers will be handed in the next day, so it will take about nine days before and after.

After returning to the inn, the group gathered in the room.

Ling Bao urged and asked: "Big brother, tell me about the imperial examination fraud case, are there many people cheating?" ”

She didn't understand it, and the biggest thing she could think of was cheating.

Cheng Yun shook his head: "More than that." ”

The case of fraud in the imperial examination occurred 18 years ago, when the examiner engaged in favoritism and sold exam questions privately. After being discovered, the emperor was furious, arrested him and imprisoned, and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

"And then?" Ling Bao opened his round eyes and asked, "Is he really cheating?" ”

Cheng Yun shook his head.

This investigation is terrible.

Because not only the examiner is cheating, but even the examinees are not innocent, and there are many people who are bribed, substituted for guns (asking someone to write for them), cutting papers (changing examination papers), and impersonation.

There are also students who use fly-headed small letters to copy the articles in advance on IQs as thin as gold leaf, and hide them under the pen barrel or insoles; Or use the medicinal liquid as ink, copy the pre-written essay on the clothes and pants, and then quietly copy it on the exam paper after entering the examination room.

At that time, the emperor was furious, and it could really be said that "the Son of Heaven was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed".

All the officials involved were beheaded, and all the results of the current class of scholars were invalidated, and those who were found to have bribed examiners and cheated were directly disqualified from the imperial examination and never re-entered the official career.

Since then, the emperor has promulgated a series of strict examination rules.

"Do you know how strict it is?" Cheng Yun asked.

Perhaps because he thought Ling Bao's round eyes were particularly cute, he couldn't help pinching her face.

Lingbao has long been used to it, and his expression has not changed, but he is only curious about the examination rules: "What is the point?" ”

Cheng Yun said: "Even the style of the exam basket has regulations. ”

Regardless of the bamboo willow, it must be in accordance with the southern style, turning into exquisite grid eyes, and the low surface is the same.

If you don't follow the regulations, you won't even be able to enter the Gongyuan, and you will be dealt with directly as cheating.

There is also an inkstone that is not allowed to be too thick, a pen tube is hollowed, charcoal must not be more than two inches long, and even the food eaten must be cut to ensure that there is no hiding of small notes or the like.

It wasn't until today that the Holy Lord registered that it slowly changed, but it wasn't much, after all, it was a rule set by the emperor.

A few children were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect it to be so harsh.

Cheng Yi sighed: "No wonder my father used to be an official from Enyin. ”

He wouldn't be happy to suffer such a sin!

"It's really hard work, dad." Cheng Yi said, "When we go back, I'll make a delicious meal for my dad and treat him!" ”

Ling Bao nodded again and again, and said distressedly: "Daddy has worked hard." ”

"Every scholar who takes the township test is the same."

Lingbao said: "That's also hard, everyone is hard." ”

Xie Wuxian nodded: "Lingbao is right. ”

But if nothing else, he doesn't have to go this way, and his father's title can be hereditary for five generations.

After all, he is already in a high position, so he can no longer compete with poor students for that limited place.

"Mr. Gao was one of the victims of the imperial examination fraud case." Cheng Yun said suddenly.

Ling Bao was stunned: "Which Mr. Gao?" ”

Cheng Yun tapped the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "Which other Mr. Gao is naturally your master." ”

The crowd didn't know it, and they all exclaimed: "What?!" ”

Cheng Yun nodded in confirmation.

Speaking of which, Gao Xianqing is also unlucky.

He didn't buy exam questions, and he didn't cheat, so he was implicated.

That time he did well in the exam, Cheng Bo'an once looked at his exam papers, according to his uncle's estimate, if it can be carried out normally, at least he can get a fellow jinshi in the palace exam, but the specific number depends on the emperor's mind.

Gao Xianqing was still young at the time, he couldn't withstand the blow, he was decadent for several years, and then he regained his strength, but the influence of the imperial examination fraud case was too great, and the subsequent examiners were afraid that the emperor would be angry again, so they would rather kill by mistake than let go, and the scholars who participated in the imperial examination but survived basically did not get a good ranking.

Cheng Yun didn't know much about the rest of the matter, remembering the scene when he met Gao Xianqing for the first time, he guessed that he was probably looking for a way out while studying knowledge.

But now it seems that he is only concentrating on learning, and he must be dead.

Ling Bao let out an "ah" in a wave of twists and turns, flattened his mouth, and said distressedly: "Master Gao is so miserable." ”

Xie Wuxian nodded: "It's completely a disaster." ”

Cheng Jin: "The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond. ”

Cheng Yi: "If it were me, I would be angry." ”

Cheng Yun Zhengse said: "I am telling you this to tell you, no matter what you do, you must be down-to-earth, and don't think about taking shortcuts, so as not to catch fire." ”

Especially with their net worth background, it is the entire family that is not careful.

"We know!"

Let's talk about Cheng Zhongqian.

During the examination, the scholars sat and lay down to eat and write in the number house, the outer wall of each number room was eight feet high, the number door was three feet wide, six feet high, the long one was nearly a hundred, and the short one was fifty or sixty rooms, all of which were arranged in a row in the south direction, like a long alley, the lane was four feet wide, at most two people were side by side, and the order of the number house was numbered according to the "Thousand Character Text".

Cheng Zhongqian was lucky and was assigned to the middle of the alley.

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it was too good that he didn't get to the end of the alley.

Cheng Zhongqian glanced at the end of the alley vaguely and sympathetically, and the faces of the scholars assigned to the last room were like black charcoal, because there was a toilet at the end of the alley, and it was so close that it stinked and stinky, and his brain had to be stinky, how could he calm down and think about the topic?

There is a "Mingyuan Building" in the Tribute Courtyard, which can be said to rise from the ground, condescending, and can have a full view of the inside and outside of the Tribute Courtyard, and have an unobstructed view.

Now there were several people standing upstairs, watching this side, so the scholars all did not say a word, and honestly entered the number house, which was simply a pin drop.

There are two layers of brick joints on the wall one or two feet above the ground, and wooden planks can be inserted into the gaps.

Don't underestimate these two planks, it's a table and chair during the day, and a bed at night.

Cheng Zhongqian is tall and has long legs, he can't stand up, he can't lie down, he can only nest and shrink on the wooden board aggrievedly, it's really uncomfortable, and the surroundings are too quiet, so that he doesn't even dare to turn over frequently, he can only meditate in his heart:

"Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't ......"

That's the part of the test!
