Chen Fusheng scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and asked instead: "Everyone is almost here, why don't you open the door and let us in?"

"The hour is less. Ye Xin looked at the sky and said softly: "Wait a little longer, someone will come out and open the door when the time comes." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the time came, with the sound of three cannons, the left, middle and right gates of the Gongyuan were opened at the same time under the impetus of the soldiers.

The township test began.

Chen Fusheng looked up, and a group of fellow examiners were standing side by side outside the gate with a serious-looking middle-aged official as the center.

After recruiting ghosts, I listened to the chief examiner Jiang Yuan reciting the cliché of 'the exam is ordered to start, no cheating, otherwise how to do it', and the check-in officially began.

"Let's go, let's find a place to rest for a while, will it take a long time to search?" Ye Xin elbowed Chen Fusheng, his chin raised, and he softened.

Sure enough, those candidates who looked older put the test boxes on the ground and sat down on the spot, obviously having experience, but it was the young scholars who were taking the township examination for the first time, standing in place excitedly one by one, looking at each other.

After closing his eyes and recuperating for nearly an hour, the sun also rose from the ground, and the voice of the soldiers came from Chen Fusheng's ears at noon: "Meishan, come and search." ”

Chen Fusheng hurriedly lifted the box and turned to look at Ye Xin: "Don't move, I'll go first." ”

But I heard Ye Xin lower his voice and say, "Go in, I gave you a gift." ”

Without waiting for Chen Fusheng to react, his body had already followed the flow of talents from Meishan into the instrument gate and entered the channel for searching.

Although the imperial examination broke the aristocratic rule of the family gate, it can be said to be of great significance.

But I don't know how many scholars accuse the imperial examination of insulting Sven, which refers to this search, and the dignified scholars actually want to take off their clothes, and they are manipulated by the barbaric and rude big-headed soldiers, which is really unbearable.

Chen Fusheng is naturally no exception, if he doesn't have to participate in the township test, who dares to ask him to do this, he will immediately be allowed to taste the edge of the green bamboo sword, but there is not much truth to talk about.

However, people under the eaves had to bow their heads, Chen Fusheng had to secretly use Yasheng's "Heaven will descend on the people of Wusha, 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 motivated to endure and gain what they cannot" to comfort himself.

What's more, there are so many difficult brothers around him, but they can barely make him feel better.

Chen Fusheng, who was barefoot, carrying shoes and socks and a coat, and only had an underwear to cover his shame, stood side by side against the wall with his companions, waiting for the officers and soldiers to search him.

Chen Fusheng was the last of this batch, and when it was his turn, the officials were already ready to turn their heads to look at the next batch, just when Chen Fusheng was about to grit his teeth and endure it, he saw the two soldiers who were searching for a glance and exchanged glances, and the movements of his hands instantly relaxed, and he didn't even touch his body in the slightest.

Chen Fusheng instantly understood, it turned out that this was Ye Xin's so-called gift, as a festival envoy, the Ye family was quite influential in the Shu army, Ye Xin obviously said hello to the officers and soldiers who searched and inspected, and opened up to him.

Unintentionally using a privilege, Chen Fusheng did not have the slightest shame, put on his clothes, walked into the dragon gate with ease, and took the bag containing the exam questions.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the Tribute Courtyard, he felt a surging momentum falling, Qiu Yan didn't care, and made Chen Fusheng feel a little lower, and even his feet were much heavier than just now.

"This kind of momentum, is it the so-called Haoran righteousness?" Chen Fusheng stopped, speechless, and looked at the sky above the Tribute Courtyard, although he did not have a cultivation in his body, and the Spiritual Eye Technique could not be used, but with his divine soul that sensed heaven and earth, he seemed to be able to see a grand and straight white pillar of air from the Tribute Courtyard straight into the sky," Confucianism does not understand the way of cultivation, known as the son of silent strange power chaos, although I know that those learned Confucianism, the soul is transparent, in some realms are not lower than the masters of cultivation, but I really didn't expect that it is just a provincial tribute academy, the coercion is actually like a master of cultivation, the whole tribute courtyard is more like a formation laid down, like the master of the Heavenly Desire Venerable that has reached a very high realm of masters, if you just learn one or two hands of evil spells and cast them here, I am afraid you will directly eat yourself. Fortunately, I had completely dissipated my cultivation before I came, and now only the pure internal force is running in my body, and I have also entered the door to study and cultivate qi, otherwise I am afraid that the oppression will be even greater. It seems that although Confucianism has not formed any sects of practice, it is not without reason that it can be ranked with the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Fusheng became cautious, although the Gongyuan was surrounded by the thorns of the five zhang high, it stands to reason that for those people in the rivers and lakes, it is just a trivial matter, not to mention those strange people. I haven't heard of any people in the rivers and lakes to harass the candidates for this imperial examination, and most of the means prepared by the imperial court are also to prevent the candidates from entrainment and the examiners from favoritism.

I don't know if the big people in the court know these things?

"Hey, now that you've got the papers, why don't you hurry up and see your house. Xu is his contemplative appearance was so suspicious that it attracted attention, and an inspection officer directly woke him up from behind.

"Yes, sir. Chen Fusheng turned sideways and saluted, took a deep breath, and walked to the list outside the building.

"Xuanzi No. 9", the ninth room in the third line. Chen Fusheng quickly found the low house that belonged to him.

"What a beehive!" Chen Fusheng looked at the low house in front of him that was three feet wide, four feet deep, and six feet high, and sighed, "There are walls on three sides, the south side is open, and there is even a door, if I hadn't prepared the door curtain and the top of the door in advance, otherwise it would have been completely finished in the event of wind and rain!"

Chen Fusheng shook his head, but he also understood that the room was originally open to facilitate supervision, otherwise wouldn't it be easy to close the door and start cheating?

After tidying up the room and using the pastries he brought, Chen Fusheng slowly opened the roll bag, ready to read the exam questions first.

The amount of questions in the township examination is obviously much larger than before, and the questions are divided into two parts, the four books, "University", "The Mean", "Mencius", "Analects", and the topics of the Five Classics are from the scholars from the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn" Choose one as the answer to the question, there was no so-called solution to the yuan before, only the five classics, which means that after the township test, the first place was selected from the five classics, but later because of various reasons such as the large gap in the proportion of the number of people who chose the five classics, the ranking in the scriptures was gradually canceled, but unified.
