Regarding Zhuge Liang's completely unaware situation, Xu Fu looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise.

"Zhuge Jun, you don't think that we students don't know you, do you? You are the leader of Xuzhou, and you are the only perfect score. ”

Shi Tao also had a look of admiration.

"There are only 310,000 students in the country who have a perfect score, let alone us, I'm afraid even the Son of Heaven knows your name."

Zhuge Liang touched his chin.

"I see......"

There is only one in 310,000 people, which shows that his current reputation is normal.

But you still can't be scared, and you can't be too high-profile, what my brother said makes sense, Luoyang City, the first good place at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, whether it is with the Son of Heaven to fight the world, or whether it is better to follow later, there is no doubt that they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, compared with them, they are far behind.

"It's just an exam, it's nothing."

Zhuge Liang smiled: "There is still a long way to go in the future, gentlemen, encourage me." ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was so humble and polite, whether it was Xu Fu, Shi Tao, or the three or four students around, everyone lit up with star eyes, and their good impression of Zhuge Liang increased greatly, and even more so that they directly broke through the threshold and reached the point of worship.

A group of people surrounded Zhuge Liang and said that he didn't want Zhuge Liang to leave when it was very late, Shi Tao took the initiative to pay for Zhuge Liang to go to a fried vegetable restaurant to eat, ordered five or six dishes, and let Zhuge Liang go back to the dormitory only after he had a full stomach of big fish and meat.

So the friendship between them was also initially established.

As for Lu Yi, it was also because of what he ate.

That time, when Zhuge Liang went to buy fried chicken legs, he thought about bringing a little bit to Zhuge Jun and the other three roommates, and he also wanted to eat a few more, so he bought more, but when it was his turn, it was the last batch, and the people behind him were gone.

Everyone complained, which made Zhuge Liang a little embarrassed.

The key is that a child standing in line behind him cried directly and was clamoring to eat fried chicken legs, which made the young man with the child very embarrassed, so he could only step forward with an embarrassed face and ask Zhuge Liang if he could give him a chicken leg.

Zhuge Liang also happened to feel that he had bought a little too much, so he evened one to the young man, making the child burst into tears and laughed, holding the chicken leg and gnawing on his mouth.

After that, the young man expressed his gratitude to Zhuge Liang, saying that his name was Lu Yi, his cousin Boyan, and he was followed by his younger brother, just after his exam, he took his younger brother to the street to wander around, and saw fried chicken legs, and the younger brother was arguing to eat, if it wasn't for Zhuge Liang's good speech, Lu Yi was really not good at appeasing the younger brother.

"It's still too long to queue, this kid is usually reasonable, this time it's really rude...... Or thank you for your feet, but you don't know your name? ”

"Lu Yi? At the foot is the leader of Yangzhou, Lu Boyan? ”

After Zhuge Liang met Pang Tong, he felt his lack of socialization, so he went back to learn about the origin of the names of the fourteen leaders of the state examination, including the name of Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was stunned when he heard this.

"Foot?"

"Xuzhou Langya people, Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming."

Zhuge Liang bowed.

Lu Yi's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this.

"Is Zhuge Kongming at your feet? The leader of Xuzhou, the first in the world? ”

"No. 1 in the world? This...... This is a bit of an exaggeration. ”

Zhuge Liang said embarrassedly: "But it is indeed the first place in the Xuzhou State Examination." ”

"This is really a coincidence, when I heard about the foot earlier, I longed for it, but I didn't expect to meet the foot here!"

Lu Yi was obviously excited, so he took Zhuge Liang to a noodle restaurant specializing in selling noodles, invited Zhuge Liang to eat a bowl of noodles, and then the two chatted about the topic of this selection.

Lu Yi didn't get a few questions very accurately, and he didn't know if his answers were correct, so he asked Zhuge Liang if he still remembered the questions and answers.

Of course, Zhuge Liang remembered it clearly, what the topic was could be completely retold and when he saw that Lu Yi was going to discuss academic topics, he was also interested, called the store to ask for paper and pens, and began to review those topics with Lu Yi.

The two discussed the problem for a long time, and ate a bowl of noodles for more than an hour, which made Lu Yi's younger brother next to him doze off, and the sun set before it ended.

"It's a pity, I thought I could win all three questions, but unfortunately I still made a mistake!"

Lu Yi said unwillingly: "The candidate who sat next to me before cheated and was taken away by the officers and soldiers, which disturbed my mind...... It's still a lack of cultivation, and I'm disturbed by this kind of trivial matter, if there are elders in the family who know that I'm like this, they will definitely teach me a lesson. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled.

"No one could have predicted that kind of thing happened, so why should Bo Yan blame himself? It's just an exam, this is the beginning, and in the future, my generation still has a long way to go. ”

Lu Yi smiled dumbly.

"Listening to someone who has not been affected say such things, there is always an inexplicable feeling, but Brother Kong Ming said this, and he felt a little better in his heart...... It's just that in this selection exam, he may lose to Brother Kong Ming again, will Brother Kong Ming get a full score again? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Whether it will or not, I have to wait for the final result, as long as I can pass the selection exam and be able to take the exam, I can, whether it is a full score or not, it doesn't matter."

Lu Yi also nodded.

"What Brother Kong Ming said is very true, if you can pass the selection examination this time, the face-to-face exam, it will not be in vain for several years of hard work."

"I just don't know if this selection will be affected by cheating, if so, I won't have to take the exam again......"

"With Brother Kong Ming's ability, is it difficult to take the test again?"

"It's not hard."

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and formed a preliminary friendship.

In the days that followed, Zhuge Liang met a lot of new friends, and he didn't forget to meet Pang Tong, Xu Fu, Shi Tao and Lu Yi again.

At the same time, everyone also continued to learn about some cheating incidents, some recent actions carried out by the imperial court, and the news that some school officials and state school personnel were severely dealt with, which was embarrassing.

Finally, on March 23, the dust settled.

Hundreds of candidates lost their qualifications for the examination, and because they broke the law for cheating, the whole family was severely punished, and most of them were moved to Liaozhou with their families, and they were not allowed to return to the Central Plains, nor were they allowed to take the imperial examination again, and they lost this qualification forever.

The officials and teachers of the state school who were in charge of these things were all arrested, the mastermind was beheaded, and the accomplices were sent to the border areas of Liaozhou to serve hard labor without pardon.

For most students, this is a thing worth sighing, everyone has their own opinions, each has their own considerations, but for them, what is really important is whether the results of this selection examination are recognized by the imperial court.

On the day the announcement was announced, the results of the selection examination were also officially announced, and the students of Guangzhou University first breathed a sigh of relief, feeling glad that they did not have to participate in another selection examination, and then began to be worried.

At the same time as the results of the selection examination were announced, everyone also knew that more than 10,000 candidates had referred to this exam, and 3,000 people could pass it, and then the jun examination would be conducted, and the others would become losers and could not participate in the jun exam, so they could only return to their hometowns and wait for the imperial examination again in three years.

The imperial examination is held once every three years, unless there are special circumstances, and the imperial examination will be held additionally, which is called [Enke].

To be honest, the fact that 3,000 people passed the assessment still made many students cheer, originally everyone generally thought that only 1,000 people could pass the assessment, and maybe even fewer people, and went directly to the scale of one-thirtieth of the scale, but I didn't expect it to increase tenfold.

Many people are secretly babbling that the imperial court is generous this time.

In principle, the Jun Examination does not dismiss the candidate's qualifications, just to make a final ranking, as long as the candidate's answer sheet is not too outrageous, or he has done something too ghostly, he can generally be guaranteed to pass.

This also means that if you often pass the selection examination, you will have the qualifications to become a member of the Han Empire from the Nine Grades, and at the same time become a member of the ruling group, which is completely different from your past life.

Therefore, when everyone learned that they had passed the selection examination, none of them were not so excited and jumped on the spot, and the whole person was excited, with a red face and a thick neck.

Lu Yi brought his younger brother to watch the results of the list early, and the younger brother said that Lu Yi must pass the selection test, or even get the first place, Lu Yi himself feels that there is no problem in passing the assessment, but it is estimated that it is difficult to get the first place.

Because Zhuge Liang did the right topic and did it wrong, in this way, it is obvious that he has fallen into a disadvantage.

It was a fifteen-point math problem, and the difference between the two suddenly widened the gap of fifteen points, which is not easy to catch up.

Zhuge Liang's state exam score is a full score, and the subjects selected for the exam are the same as those in the state exam, but the questions are more difficult and the amount of questions is larger, and it is difficult to say that Zhuge Liang will not explode again.

However, it was difficult to get a full score in Lu Yi's opinion for the fifty-point argumentative essay, and Lu Yi felt that it was difficult to grasp the essence of the new guiding ideology of the Han Empire.

So in addition to his own name, Lu Yi paid attention to Zhuge Liang's ranking and scores.

After that, with the sound of a gong, the list of candidates who passed the examination on the big red paper book was officially posted on the main square at the entrance of the imperial city, and the border list and the mainland list were posted separately, and they were posted around the main square for a whole circle, and their respective rankings and scores were also listed on it.

Candidates are excitedly and nervously searching for their names, if there are too many names and they are dazzling, they can also choose to go to the government staff counter next to them to find someone to ask, there are fourteen counters there, which correspond to the candidates who have passed the fourteen state schools, which is a quick check.

But Lu Yi didn't have that need.

Because at first glance, he saw the name at the top of the list that felt very familiar to him—a special name written in gold dust.

Zhuge Liang.

The score is ......

Full score, 800 points.

At that moment, Lu Yi's tightly clenched fist loosened, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief, as if some kind of obsession suddenly turned into ashes and disappeared, and even he didn't know what kind of complicated emotion it was.

Originally, he was thinking that he was going to fight with Zhuge Liang, and he really wanted to confront Zhuge Liang.

But now he realizes that he may be thinking a little too much.

His younger brother tugged at his sleeve with a look of surprise next to him, shouting words such as "brother has been admitted", "he is the third", "brother is amazing", and the candidate next to him threw complicated, envious, and jealous glances at him, he didn't care about it.

He just remembered that when they first met that day, he and Zhuge Liang were eating noodles at the same table, and Zhuge Liang said those words lightly at that time.

Out......

In other words, did he get a perfect score for that argumentative essay with political significance?

Lu Yi, who was born in a scholar family, knew very well that that argumentative essay might be the dividing line that could really distinguish the excellent from the mediocre in this selection examination.

The most obvious fact is that there are standard answers to other questions, but only the argumentative essay has no standard answer, and what kind of argumentative essay can be written and how many marks can be obtained is not only related to the candidate's personal level, but also to the standards of the marking officials, that is, the imperial court.

There are no standard answers to the questions, and it is crucial how the marking officer views them.

In his circle, in fact, there are many children of official families, and the number of children of ordinary farmers is relatively small, so the big guys are actually a little politically sensitive, and after the selection examination, many people put forward the view that argumentative composition is the key.

For example, his friend Sima Yi was the first to put forward this idea, and he thinks the same.

And Zhuge Liang, although his grades are very good, he is a student of Xuzhou State School, Xuzhou State School was established much later than Sili School, and the teachers are good, the distance from Luoyang, and the political sensitivity are far inferior to Sili School, which is second only to Taixue.

So logically speaking, Zhuge Liang should not have such a keen political awareness.

If the state examination can still use pure examinations to distinguish the merits of candidates, the selection of this decisive assessment must introduce certain political elements to assess the political literacy of a candidate.

Lu Yi and Sima Yi discussed and came to a very cautious conclusion.

They believe that the imperial court was moved when the paper was published, deliberately numbing the nerves of the candidates with a large number of questions with standard answers, and then suddenly offering a political question to determine whether the candidates have basic political literacy.

If you continue to look at this topic with students' thinking, you will inevitably not be able to get a high score, and a 50-point essay question can obviously open up a huge gap.

I have to admit that because there are a large number of children with official backgrounds participating in the first imperial examination, there must be many people who pass, but there should not be many people who can really understand the meaning of this layer.

Zhuge Clan's background, after Lu Yi returned to the candidate's dormitory, he inquired with many people, and learned that the ancestor of Zhuge Clan had produced two thousand stone officials, but it was only limited to the ancestor, and then it was a pure local family, lacking contact with the central government, and lacking influence beyond the county.

In other words, Zhuge Liang does not have a deep political background, and his family's political energy is there, but not much.

Even now, when the old nobles of the Second Empire were swept away by Liu Bei in large quantities, Zhuge Clan's family background is still not deep.

In the eyes of Lu Yi and Sima Yi, such a family background can really only be said to be mediocre.

But this ordinary guy stood on the top of the peak that everyone could not look up to.

He......

What exactly is the character?
