The next day, a news came out from the imperial court that the champion Hou had made supplementary suggestions for the imperial examination. In previous years, the age of the imperial examination was limited to the minimum age of thirteen, but there is no shortage of precocious prodigies in the world, if there are various reasons that cannot apply for the examination, you can come to Chang'an City, as long as you can pass the three genius test levels, you can register directly in Chang'an.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Chang'an City was a sensation, and the people were eager to try, and they all looked at their young children, what if it was a prodigy?

The exam questions are actually very simple, there are three questions in total: one of them is literacy, you can memorize three books and write a random 100 words.

The second is arithmetic, one question for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and the last two comprehensive application questions. Arithmetic is not the mainstream in Datang, but it is a necessity in life, so it is not difficult. However, it is very difficult to test a child under the age of thirteen, who has not received nine years of compulsory education, is self-taught at home, and needs to have Chinese and arithmetic skills.

The first two questions are screened, and the first one removes those who are not solid in basic skills and can't read the words are not geniuses, and can exclude ninety percent of speculators.

The second test question can screen out those who are immature, such as those who can't read the application questions when they are young, and those addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are not one plus one equals two, they are all more than four digit exam questions, and those with poor arithmetic foundation can't get it. In the Tang Dynasty, arithmetic was used with arithmetic chips, which was very inconvenient, and it was not easy to do arithmetic problems if I had not been particularly trained in arithmetic.

The first two questions, no matter how difficult or easy, are still rules-based, and it is not impossible to cultivate them with your heart.

But the third question is really a test genius. This is a third-order Rubik's cube made by Xiao Rui himself, this thing is a rare thing in Datang, and no one else has ever seen it.

The exam question is: within one hour, restore this third-order Rubik's Cube.

A first-time object can not guess the internal structure by looking at the appearance, only that the small squares on it can be rotated, the purpose is to make the colors of all sides uniform. Without knowing the details and formulas, if you want to understand the gameplay and master the Karakuri in an hour, you can't do it without being a genius.

There are very few children who can kill the third question, and now the third question directly stuck99.9% of the people to death.

In order to protect this Rubik's Cube from being used for a few more years and not being cracked prematurely, Xiao Rui specially explained that the protection of the Rubik's Cube is usually top secret, and the secret box must not be opened when it is not used in the examination room.

In this case, even if someone wants to copy and solve the third problem, there is almost no chance.

Because any child who can kill the third question is busy restoring the suit within an hour, let alone studying the internal structure thoroughly. Even if you guess something, without great manpower and material resources, I'm afraid it won't be reproduced.

The genius test of these three questions was quite fresh at first, but after a long time, everyone became uninterested. If you waste so much energy, even if you pass the three levels, you just get a registration qualification, why bother? It's better to wait for the child to be thirteen years old before participating, wouldn't it be the same? Could it be that in order to prove that our children are geniuses, we have to spend so much effort to deal with these three levels of surprise training?

That is, it was popular in the first year, but the elimination rate of one in a million was crowded in the second year, and no one participated.

In the palace, Emperor Li Er also heard about it, and the emperor was very interested in the secret treasure of the third question, and ordered Xiao Rui to send one to play with himself, but Xiao Rui directly refused. The reason is very simple, you are the emperor, your words and deeds are stared at, and you play with them all day long? Isn't this deliberately over-the-top?

was so angry that Li Er almost killed Xiao Jiazhuang and beat Xiao Rui violently.

On the third day of the genius assessment, there are not many people queuing up for the exam, and those who could have lined up from the Suzaku Gate to the Xuanwu Gate can now finish the exam in the morning, and there are only 100 people in a day, but unfortunately in the past three days, no one has been able to clear the customs.

"Name, age, place of origin! Did the parents come along? ”

"Di Renjie, eight years old, lives in Kuizhou. My father, Governor Steadson, did not come, and I was the only one. ”

"Oh? You're here from Kuizhou alone? No, Kuizhou said that it was ten days away, and this exam was only three days away, so you ......"

"I happened to visit relatives and friends in Chang'an, and I caught up, so I came to try." Di Renjie said in his heart, if it weren't for me, where would this exam come from?

The registered examiner smiled: "Okay, in so many days, you are the first to come by yourself, looking like you look like a sensible child, I hope you can succeed." ”

"Of course, if you're not sure, you won't come." Di Renjie said without modesty, "I want to be the first person to break through the scientific examination." ”

A girl in the queue at the back pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "The person is not big, and the tone is not small." ”

As soon as he heard this, Di Renjie's eyes rolled, and he turned around and made a grimace: "Ambition is not old, ignorance and empty life are 100 years old." Yes...... Do you think I have a big mouth? ”

Bah! Flim tongue little ruffian...... The other party couldn't help but take a sip. But Di Renjie had already stepped into the examination room.

When the examiner saw it, he couldn't help but smile, "Yo, there is a female doll?" Girl, you came to line up alone, are you helping your brother sign up? ”

The other party shook his head and said, "No, I signed up by myself." ”

What?

The examiner was dumbfounded and scratched his head, why didn't he expect it to be like this?

Even Di Renjie, who rushed into the examination room, was stunned in place, looking back at the other party curiously.

"Hey, you're not sick, are you? How can any girl participate in the imperial examination? Di Renjie asked.

Who thinks that this girl is also proud, "I want you to take care of it!" What's wrong with the girls? The imperial edict said that if you do not meet the regulations and cannot register, you can come here to try it. I didn't say that the woman wouldn't let me try. Aren't you going to be the first to clear the level? Hurry up and get in, I'll let you take the test first in an hour, and see which one of you and me is a genius. ”

Burst......

Di Renjie was so angry that his face turned red, and he was so ashamed!

"Hmph, I don't need you to let me, if you can come in, I'll let you take the test for an hour first."

At this time, the examiner spoke, "Girl, do you really want to sign up?" How can there be a woman in this world who takes the imperial examination? Women can't be officials, right? No, no, it's not in order, I can't let you in. ”

"It's because you don't comply with the rules that you came here, isn't the edict of the imperial court just to break the rules? If you can't be the master, then go to the Shangguan and find someone who can call the shots, and if you can't do it, call the champion Hou, but you can't stop me from signing up. The imperial edict was clearly written, and it did not say that women could not sign up. The imperial court can't change its order overnight, right? The other party pleaded.

Every word and deed is justified and well-founded, which makes it difficult for many examiners.

"Dare to ask the girl's name, age, and place of origin?"

"Wu Zhao, twelve years old, lives in Chang'an, and his father is the late former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wushi Hu."

Oh? It turned out to be the daughter of Wu Shangshu.

Since this is the case, we really can't refuse strongly, so we can only ask for instructions and report, and soon the news will be transmitted back to the Ministry of Rites, and then reported to the Imperial Court Zhongshu Province through the Ministry of Rites, and even the emperor Li Shuangshang.

Women's registration? Hey, this is the first time I've heard of it. And there is a well-founded defense? Said that the imperial court can't change the order overnight?

Emperor Li Er was very curious: "The daughter of the former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Samurai?" Hehe, it looks like she is also a talented girl, what do you think Aiqing? Will this woman be able to participate? ”
