The county examination is difficult, the government examination is difficult, the provincial examination is especially difficult, the meeting test is easy, and the palace test is especially easy. Sitting in the exam number, Su Ziji looked at the environment and couldn't help but sigh.

This may not be the case in the previous dynasty, but since Taizu in this dynasty, there are not many people who can go to the meeting, so they are often treated more leniently.

This does not mean that discipline is lax, but that environmental treatment is much stronger.

Unlike the local examination, they can participate in the Gongyuan examination, but if they pass the examination, they are all future colleagues of the DPRK and China officials.

Although the literati were inferior to each other, they were prone to harm each other in certain matters, and they would try to reform the scholars, but they did not encounter obstacles at the beginning.

Although with the passage of time, there were gradually more and more readers, and some voices appeared in the court, hoping to try to return to the previous dynasty, but they were all ignored by the emperor.

The current emperor, as he gets older, the stronger the momentum of the Holy Judgment, the meeting was originally scheduled for February, but since he ascended the throne, he has encountered snow every February, which is really cold in spring, so he decreed that it was changed to March.

Now the weather is much better, at least sitting in the room with only three partitions, the sun and rain above the head, and the unobstructed view in front, Su Ziji does not feel cold.

As far as the eye could see, most of the candidates who sat down had their expressions as usual, and they did not tremble.

Today's weather is good, the sun has not risen at this time, but in the Gongyuan, looking up at the sky in front of you, you can vaguely see the clear sky.

"It looks like good weather, it's a good sign. There is still a slightly sweet taste of rice balls on the tip of the tongue, Su Ziji is in a good mood, sitting and waiting for the hair curls, and the appearance of the examination card.

But the soldiers who appeared then were holding things in their hands, which surprised Su Ziji.

"It's not an exam card?"

Seeing that someone was handing out mulberry roll bags one by one, Su Ziji took the roll bag, opened it, and understood.

"One person sends a set of exam papers, and the exam questions are directly printed on them. ”

"Thousands of people's examination papers, the ink is still new, this is a temporary printing of the volume, this is a big project, but also to prevent someone from leaking questions in the process. ”

"That is, the examiner who will take the exam, can have such courage. ”

"However, it may also be just the emperor's request. Su Ziji just thought about it casually, and then focused on the exam questions.

When it came to the exam, there were no more questions, a total of seven papers, seven questions.

In this bag, in addition to the answer papers, the rest is scratch paper.

The scratch paper is enough, a dozen sheets, but this cannot be taken out, and when the roll is rewinded, it must be taken away and sealed.

Therefore, when answering questions in the exam, it is on the scratch paper, and the candidates do not dare to write at will, and they have to think deeply before writing again.

"The last four questions are relatively small. ”

After Su Ziji browsed it, he already knew it in his heart: "The first three questions are relatively important, and the most important thing is the first question." ”

"It's hard to walk in the first place"

Looking at it intently, Su Ziji couldn't help but change color, this first question makes people look at it, and timid people are afraid that cold sweat will fall directly.

This topic is so big that there is no edge.

"What is heaven, heaven is heaven, but it is impossible for the imperial court to let candidates figure out the will of heaven, this is a big taboo, whoever judges the question to this part, it will definitely be over. ”

"Therefore, heaven can only be the emperor or the imperial court. ”

"The day is difficult, it can be said that the imperial court through the Taizu to the present, more than 30 years, the people's livelihood recovered, gradually prosperous, not surprisingly is a prosperous era, and the reproduction of life and industry, gradually to the peak. ”

"This has hit the theme, but when I think about it privately, I am afraid that the real prosperity is still in the next generation, this day is difficult, does it mean that the emperor himself is old?"

Su Ziji was silent.

Even if someone thought of this, how many would dare to answer like this?

No matter how reckless and afraid you are, you don't dare.

The room was quiet for a while, and the sound of the candidates next door turning over the papers, as well as the sighs of the candidates not far away, could be heard clearly.

Everyone knows that this question is not easy to answer.

"Heaven refers to the imperial court or the emperor, but with the addition of a step word, it is not just the emperor personally, but the development of the entire imperial court. ”

"The governance of the imperial court is to climb the mountain, start to climb, no matter where you go is an uphill road, at most the process is more tortuous, and once you reach the top of the mountain, and then go, no matter how painstaking and hard, how hard you work, it is a downhill slope, which is clearly proven by ancient and modern dynasties. ”

Or rather, this is the law of rise and fall. ”

"It's just that the ancients called it the fate of heaven, and the cycle repeatedly, which is actually the same thing. ”

"Prosperity and decline, the sky can't be crossed. ”

"So this day is difficult, in fact, the emperor has a sense of the rise and fall, and has not really reached the peak of the world, but he is worried about the prosperity and decline, the full moon and eclipses, and the profit and loss?"

"This is really very far-sighted, but to tell the truth, every dynasty, Ming monarchs and ministers always feel that they can transcend the law of rise and fall, but history proves that this is something that no one has done since ancient times. ”

"His heart is lamentable, his ambition is stupid, just as a party, he has to do his best, and if he extends the national honor a little more, he proves the value of his existence. ”

The examination was cleared, but it was not until the sun rose high that a gust of wind blew the paper loudly.

Su Ziji made a move.

He raised his hand to the highest, slowly fell, and when he reached the head, he secretly shook his head, even if he suppressed it, he still had to die if he wrote like this.

His hands pressed down on his chest, shook his head again, and asked himself: "Why is the prince and grandson virtuous?

This is the words of a famous minister of the former dynasty, which means that the responsibility of the crown prince is not to govern the government, but to greet his father in the morning and evening, and ask about the meal (eating).

Pressed to the waist again, and thought for a while: "Pressed to such an extent, maybe the talent is not so sharp, right? After all, I am not a real grandson, and I must show something." ”

"Since ancient times, the suspicion has been as deep as father and son, Wen can be twelve points, and only two or three points are enough!"

Just thinking like this, Su Ziji suddenly felt that he was too sophisticated.

Even if this is the case, you can't just say it, it will surprise the lovely hearts of many grass and flowers.

Su Ziji smiled, then he put his hand away, picked up the pen, and waved it on the scratch paper.

This question, after writing it, the sun has risen high, the belly is gurgling, and there is the sound of bangzi not far away, which is to deliver food and water.

Su Ziji was in a trance, and it was already noon.

Put the roll into the roll bag and hang it aside, so as not to get dirty, get up again, and walk slowly in the room, moving the joints of the limbs, so as not to be sore and uncomfortable.

In less than a moment, food was delivered to him.

Two soldiers put the boiled water in a wooden kettle, still steaming, put it on the wooden board horizontal table, and there is a basket of cooked food, all of which are easy-to-store cakes, with five kinds of grains, which is an auspicious meaning.

The reason why I am in the place and can cook by myself in the number room, but when I get to the test here, it is all distributed by the Gongyuan according to the meal, one is sympathetic to the candidates, and the other is afraid of accidents.
