In a short time, the official had been named to Tongqu County from the roster. Chang Jin was the first in line, and when he heard his name being called, he saluted everyone and strode towards the officials who searched him. When he came to him, he handed over the exam card, and then arched his hand to a few people and whispered: "It's hard work......
Generally, when candidates are searched by the officials, they will inevitably feel cramped. There are very few people who are so calm and polite as him. Coupled with the protection of the magic pen, Chang Jin's own elegance and civility were exposed, so that the officials who searched nodded secretly.
However, although a few people have a good impression, they still have to go through the motions. In order to prevent plagiarism in the government examination, the search here is much stricter than that in the county examination.
Candidates not only have to undress and take off their shoes, but also dissolve the bun to see if there is a slip of paper cheat sheet hidden in it.
In this way, after the examination, most of the candidates have messy heads, are untidy, and suddenly look like crazy people. There is no way to do this, in order to pass the test, candidates cheat in a variety of ways, which is really unguardable.
Chang Jin was just about to untie his belt, but he heard the official in charge of the search whisper: "Chang Gongzi doesn't have to be so troublesome......
After speaking, the other party nodded at the official again.
The official really understood, roughly checked the examination basket, groped for a while on him, and said, "It's over."
Chang Jin didn't know why the other party would show favor to him, but he didn't have to undress and take off his shoes, he was naturally willing in his heart, and he didn't say much, he arched his hand at a few people and stood on the other side.
The candidates from Tongqu County who came forward to check next were naturally not as lucky as him, and there were no fewer who should be checked
There were dozens of people, and the officials waiting at the door let them enter the palace examination courtyard and go to the invigilator's hall to collect the examination papers.
There is a number on the examination paper, and candidates must be seated in the number. When they got the test papers, the official said loudly: "After you enter the venue, you must take your seats according to the seat number on the paper, otherwise you will be disqualified from this exam." β
Chang Jin walked around the examination shed for half a circle, and finally found his place, and someone next to him was already seated, and when he saw him come in, he politely arched his hand, which was regarded as a greeting.
The examiner had ordered someone to clean the examination booth a few days ago, but most of the officials had coped with it, and the tables, chairs and benches were covered with dust, and they couldn't sit down at all.
Fortunately, Chang Jin was prepared, and after wiping the table and chairs, he sat down on the bench.
There are many candidates for the government examination, the seats are extremely narrow, and the table is only two feet square, barely able to put pen and ink and exam papers.
In the following period, 6 more candidates were seated. If the night is darker, it is probably time to cry out for evil spirits when you suddenly see it.
As the sky gets brighter, all the candidates who took the government examination will enter the venue. Then I heard the bell ringing, which was a sign that the dragon gate was locked. Now, even if a candidate comes, it won't open again.
Hearing the bell, the originally noisy examination booth gradually quieted down, and one by one sat upright, waiting for the Lord Fuzun to come up with the question.
I didn't wait too long, and soon a servant walked in front of the examination booth with a question card, and every dozen steps, I heard a gong sound, reminding the candidates not to miss the question.
The government examination is the second level of the children's examination, which is similar to the content of the county examination, and the examination subjects are divided into three sessions: posting scriptures, essays, and policy discussions, mainly to verify the candidates' ability to memorize, diction, and political opinions.
The first essay is the most important, which is the eight strands.
Before the official came to him, Chang Jin had already heard many people shouting: "The first question is 'Men with lofty ideals,-"
Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief. This is the sentence in the sage's teachings, and the full sentence is "Men with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no survival to harm benevolence, and there is killing to become benevolent." β
It means that people with lofty ideals do not compromise benevolence in order to beg for their lives, but only sacrifice their own lives to achieve benevolence.
The main theme of this question is the word "benevolence", but how to write it depends on the candidate's own interpretation.
Although Chang Jin has never done this topic, there are hundreds of eight-strand essays he has written now, practice makes perfect, and after a little thought, he has already come to inspiration.
As for the trial poem, it is not a problem.
After the exam questions were finished, Chang Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and began to write the manuscript.
It took a cup of tea before he spread out the scratch paper. Although you don't need scratch paper, you can write the essay directly on the test paper, but Chang Jin doesn't want to be too different, so he still writes honestly.
The saint has a master in his heart, and determines the power of his heart and virtue.
This sentence is to break the topic, as long as there is a beginning, the next topic to start talking, into the topic is a matter of course, Chang Jin almost together, to write this article, it took only half an hour.
At this time, a bell suddenly rang in the examination room. This is a reminder to the candidates that an hour has passed.
Seeing that it was still early, Chang Jin took a short break and began to copy the article on the exam paper.
Then there is the trial poem...... The prefectural exam lasts for three days, but like the prefectural exam, candidates can submit their papers in advance, and the sooner the better. The prefect stayed in the examination room, and the first dozen or so people read the papers on the spot, as long as they read your essay, they could admit you on the spot, but it was a province of suffering for three days. If the first day is not completed, candidates must stay overnight in the exam booth. Of course, the officials will bring quilts.
Chang Jin didn't plan to stay in it for three days, so after writing it, he checked it again to confirm that there were no omissions, so he put down his pen and closed his eyes to recuperate, and listened to the sound in the examination room.
After waiting for about half an hour, I heard the bell ringing in the examination booth, and it seemed that there were already candidates who couldn't wait to hand in their papers.
Chang Jin endured for a moment, and waited for the bell to ring twice, and then pulled the small bell beside him. Hearing the movement, two officials soon came over to paste their names, put the exam papers into the wooden box, and checked that there was nothing left on the seats before taking Chang Jin to the invigilation hall.
The prefect of Wanshan Mansion is named Liu Qingcheng, who is not tall, slightly thin, with three locks of long hair under his chin, and his eyes are very sharp. He didn't open it immediately after taking the test paper, but stared at Chang Jin: "You are Tongqu Chang Yunsheng?"
"Student to meet the prefect" Chang Jin saluted respectfully, there was nothing unusual on the surface, but he was a little puzzled in his heart: the other party looked at him with some eagerness.
"Okay, your old man has heard of it for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really a young talent......" Governor Liu nodded with a smile.
Hearing this, the faces of the several subordinate officials sitting around changed slightly, and their eyes were fixed on Chang Jin. You must know that the prefect met several candidates before, and they all referred to him as an official in his speech, but when he spoke to Chang Yunsheng, he called himself an old man. A subtle detail shows that this candidate is special.
"Students don't dare to be. Listening to the other party's praise and approval, Chang Jin was even more confused. He could be sure that it was the first time he had met Governor Liu, and he didn't know why the other party looked at it differently.
"Hehe, you wait a while, and wait until the official finishes the exam papers. Liu Zhifu held the exam paper in his hand and unfolded it, and the small block on it was very pleasing to the eye: "The saint has a master in his heart, and he determines the ability of his heart and morality." β
This is a problem, the summary is precise, and the interpretation is quite eye-catching, and several subordinate officials next to him also secretly pointed to themselves
"Men and gentlemen have the heart to be the Lord and not confused by the selfish, and when they are human beings and are born and die, I can only see that they are not ashamed to ask for it, and how can they be compassionate to me?
Therefore, if you say: Things in the world are impermanent, and life and death are very important. It is inherently difficult to avoid it, and it is necessary to survive to harm the benevolent; There are also those who see danger and give orders, and kill those who become benevolent, which is the reason for decision, and those who are easily confused by perseverance. I have taken it from the people with lofty ideals."
After reading a paragraph, Liu Qingcheng couldn't help but praise the case: "Good talent"
Several subordinate officials next to him are all veterans of officialdom, and when they saw the prefect praising him, they naturally called him Miao Zao again and again.
β... It is the work of those who know and have lofty ideals, and those who have no ambitions in the world can be ashamed; Look at what the benevolent people do, and the unkind people in the world can think about it. Liu Qingcheng read it in one go, and then looked at several subordinates and said, "Do you think you can take such an article?" Chang Jin participated in the government examination, originally only reporting the intention of passing, and did not deliberately want to seize the case. At this moment, hearing the words of Governor Liu, his calm heart also overflowed with a little joy. can get such praise from the other party, it seems that the case is somewhat certain.
Several subordinate officials said in unison: "Congratulations to the prefect for getting this excellent protΓ©gΓ©." β
"Haha" Liu Qingcheng stroked his beard when he heard this, and looked at Chang Jin with a smile.
What to do next, there is no need for the subordinate official to prompt him, Chang Jin immediately saluted and said, "The student has thanked the teacher." β
"Okay, you go down first," Governor Liu waved his hand. There was a long delay in this response, and there were still a few people waiting below.
Seeing Chang Jin go out, several candidates outside looked at him with envy, jealousy and hatred. At the door just now, they also heard laughter in the hall, and it was obvious that the prefect was very satisfied with this person.
When he got out of Longmen, Chang Jin was still confused, and he didn't know why Governor Liu looked at him differently.
Could it be that the effect of the magic pen is not ...... Chang Jin thought about it and shook his head. When dealing with it in the palace before, he had secretly checked the luck of Governor Liu's mansion, and there was an official seal hanging in the cyan, which was as brilliant as a pillar. In the place where the literary atmosphere is at its peak, ordinary Taoism cannot be suppressed at all.
At this time, the sun is in the west, and there is a sense of relaxation in the sun, and on the opposite street, many candidates' families are already waiting. Chang Jin looked at the crowd, and now Xiao Song beckoned to him.
As soon as he approached, someone immediately stopped and asked if the questions of this government examination were difficult.
"As long as you are familiar with the "Four Books", it should not be difficult to pass the test. Of course, Chang Jin could understand the psychology of these people's gains and losses, and replied.
"That's good, that's good, my son-in-law is very talented, and he must pass this time. The man didn't understand the meaning of Chang Jin's words, and said with both hands.
Chang Jin and Komatsu stood by the street and waited patiently, during which candidates kept coming out. Almost every time someone came out, the old servant would come up to ask and then pray. This made Chang Jin amused, it was really the emperor who was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry. No matter how panicked the people outside are, they also need the help of the candidates inside.
Until the sky was about to dark, the dragon gate was locked again, and Wang Qinian was still nowhere to be seen.
It seems that Wang Qinian should spend the night in the examination room.
