In addition to the tables and chairs, there is also a couch, but it is for the candidates to rest, there is a basket not far away, Ye Qing walked over and looked at it, inside is a can of tea, stacked six meat pancakes, although simple, far less intimate than Qianqian's preparation, but it represents the heart of the imperial court.

Originally, the people's livelihood of the country withered at the beginning of the dynasty, and it was prepared for poor candidates, showing that no matter whether they were high or low, they were well received, and even moved to compose poems, but in this peaceful and prosperous era, it was just a formality.

Everyone is a child, and once they are poor, once they have a formal personality, there are many job opportunities, as long as they are willing to come out and do things, a few meals are not a problem.

Ye Qing covered up the food basket, put down the basket, listened to the faint noise, and inspected the furnishings on the table, on the table, there are several brushes of different thicknesses, all kinds of models, which are convenient for candidates to use.

In fact, at the level of Xiucai, in addition to the rice paper must be unified, the pen and ink inkstone can be buried, this tolerance is just to promote play, and the earth time e-sports comes with a mouse and keyboard.

After the three sticks of incense, all the candidates were in place.

The day is rising, and at the door of the apse, Lan Chongwen looked at the time on the sundial and shouted loudly: "The time is coming, the exam will officially start, don't be impatient, wait for the release of the exam papers." ”

With the invigilator's shouting, the gate was locked, and even a military fence was enclosed outside, and there would be no evacuation before the exam, and from now on, no one was allowed to enter except for the invigilator and the real invigilator, unless there was a double special order from the court and the Taoist court.

The silver seal on the plaque in the apse is shining in the sun at this moment, suppressing the qi of the whole audience and prohibiting all special - it is not that the luck is gone, but it is hidden like a hidden dragon, and it has lost its ability to influence the yang world for a while.

The real person did not interfere with the normal process, so the three invigilators and the six invigilators all held the exam papers one after another, and the exams were distributed, and they arrived at Ye Qing after a while.

The exam papers issued to Ye Qing were an invigilator deputy who was not very old, about thirty, and he was the year of his establishment, wearing an eight-grade official uniform, and had the right to invigilate part of the venue.

Among the many invigilators, the first three invigilators are all seventh, and these deputy invigilators are eighth, with different priorities.

The deputy invigilator was about to leave after handing out the exam papers to Ye Qing, and when he happened to see Ye Qing's exam card, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he was secretly surprised in his heart: "Isn't this the protagonist of the Dragon Monarch Banquet?"

It's just that he still has work to do at this time, but he can't say more, and continues to distribute exam papers to other candidates.

After the deputy invigilator was far away, Ye Qing picked up the exam paper and looked at it carefully, just looking at it, but he smiled, but when he finished laughing, he was in a heavy mood.

As in the previous life, among the three exam paper questions, the first one is the Sutra, which is the righteousness of selecting a few words, and the candidates should write the corresponding passages in the Three Classics and Five Classics according to this principle.

Ye Qing is familiar with the scriptures and meanings, and has the ability to never forget, which is nothing, in fact, the children who can go to the county exam can basically recite and pass the test, that is, the handwriting and typos should be paid attention to.

Ye Qing put this one together and saw the second one, the second one was an analysis of the way of the sages, which was the theory of the candidates for the examination.

Ye Qing put down this volume and continued to read the third volume, as expected, the third volume is a difficult matter in a certain place, allowing candidates to make choices and decisions according to the three classics and five classics, and discuss its reasoning.

Xiucai are all pillars of the country, and they are preparing to do things in the local area, but they don't have this talent, so what's the use of taking it?

Overall, these exam questions are much more difficult than the children's exam, but for Ye Qing, in his previous life, he won the test, read thousands of volumes of articles, and under the integration and precipitation, he was comfortable with the scriptures and righteousness.

I was slightly happy in my heart, but I pressed it down, pondered for a while, took a piece of rice paper, and quietly put down the pen.

At this time, other candidates were still thinking hard, or typing drafts, and even Yu Fan was concentrating on the idea.

The deputy invigilator came back after distributing the exam papers, and when he passed by, he was stunned, and he recognized the name.

Seeing that Ye Qing's pen was walking on the paper, in an instant, the thoughts were springing, the invigilator paced it closely, secretly approved, and left quietly.

Ye Qing was engrossed at this time, and he didn't pay attention to it, just wrote one by one, picked up the water in the basket when he was hungry, and rested for a while when he was tired.

Compared with children, the same three-volume topic, Xiucai tries to pay attention to extended interpretation, not seeking to be self-explanatory, but only to be comprehensive and without any omission.

This is a deepening of the understanding of children's simple memory, the amount of text is huge, not only mental work, but also physical work, and candidates who are tired in the past often have, and it is more common to have not finished answering when the paper is closed.

The amount of questions in this kind of examination is ten times that of a child, and it is also five times that of a lifter, and it is known as "ploughing cattle test!"

To put it simply, it is a test of the foundation of writing, because children are qualified to practice the Tao, and at the same time test the degree of foundation building of candidates.

Many "pure-blooded" scholars who only read books and refused to even build a foundation were brushed down.

After all, this is not a Confucian imperial examination, it is a Taoist imperial examination, you don't have any cultivation, and you still want to be motivated?

This is also the reason why Ye Qing is unusual, and he writes as soon as possible, even if he can do all of them, he has to complete all the chapters in a hurry within two days, and the time is very tight.

However, as long as there is still some time left after the last, there is no fear of accidental mistakes or omissions, or dirty papers, which can be removed from the old papers and reinserted into them after the inspection.

Arriving at noon, Ye Qing finished writing the first volume and placed it separately, trying to avoid pasting pen and ink handwriting, saving him from having to rewrite it.

I looked at this first volume for myself and was satisfied.

Each sentence of truth is basically focused on in the Three Classics and Five Classics, and generally quoting a paragraph is qualified, but it has its own bonus points to be able to discuss more.

Ye Qing himself remembered everything.

In previous lives, candidates would also review old questions, and there would always be candidates who searched all over the Taoist classics, and the references in the Great Yan Attached Sutras outside the Three Classics and Five Classics were all examined, and they came up with perfect answers that were more detailed than the standard answers.

So much so that when he wrote it just now, he had the impulse to write down the content of the Great Yan Sutra, and then pressed it.

This will inevitably provoke some questioning, and even if it is the authority of the county government, it must be verified, which is a big trouble.

"Now this level is enough, it should be that every word is correct, and the three classics and five classics have been quoted, and they are impeccable. With a plan in mind, he moved on to the second volume.

"This is a discussion of the truth, in the children's test is the finale question, there are only three questions, and it is two small and one large, at this time there are seven questions, all of which are big questions, and the workload of this volume alone is five times larger. ”

"Seven articles, two days to think, draft, embellish, write, and write, extremely mentally and physically demanding. ”

"Even if the article is talented, but the foundation is not good, it just can't hold on at this time, which is also one of the fundamental reasons why the poor scholars are brushed down. ”

"It is said that there are many children from poor families who write about vomiting blood, and they can only waste an exam opportunity in vain. ”

"Now that I think of my previous life, I can go up in one drum after three years, in addition to three years of accumulation, the biggest reason for the earth's knowledge is that I still have atmospheric luck, but it's a pity that I am facing a catastrophe, how can I be crushed by the enemy's passing world?"

Thinking about it in my heart, I originally wanted to use the Jinshi article to give it a go, but when I experienced it myself for the second time, I felt that this idea was ridiculous.

"Seven big questions, written in a hurry, or the articles are all Jinshi level, I'm afraid that even the champion can't do it, this shot, I'm afraid that it will immediately alarm the court and the heavenly court, within three days, the Qin Cha will come on horseback, check yourself, if you are found clues, the gods can't save it. ”

"That's it, it's better to take the county test article, but you can take the best work and achieve the best quality!"

"Whether it can be done or not depends on the will of God. ”

Thinking of this, meditate and meditate, in the previous life, I was familiar with the three thousand Huazhang, the county test was two thousand, the state test was eight hundred, and the palace test was two hundred.

At this time, in retrospect, the incisive insights flowed through, compared to the children's test, it can be relaxed a lot, except for some taboos, and even some subtle words of the state test, can be extracted in the text according to the situation, with the finishing touch, to enhance the article pattern!

But at this time, the sundial was noon, and the silver seal in the distance was shining, Ye Qingyi frowned, gave up the idea, and thought to himself: "The county test copper seal, the county test silver seal, the state test gold seal, the town's luck is getting stronger and stronger, I'm afraid that at this moment, even the idea will be affected." ”

"Only when I went to the palace test, the jade seal I used was deeply hidden, even at noon, there was no bad luck, and I returned to the basics. ”

In addition to Lan Chongwen and Zeng Lian, the deputy examiners are also Yang Cai Yang.

Yang was only fifty years old, with a white face and no wrinkles, so he went over and saw a young man sitting upright in an examination room, looking at the scroll, which was obviously the first volume written and was being checked.

This person is dressed in brocade, with high hair and crowns, a calm demeanor, not angry and arrogant, Yang Cai was greatly impressed in his heart, and secretly thought: "This is everyone's bearing, worthy of the son of the Yu family." ”

Yang Cai coughed lightly, didn't speak, just glanced at it, and Yu Fan also glanced at it, their eyes met, each of them understood, but they each remembered the rules, didn't say a word, and left in the blink of an eye.

Yang Cai smiled slightly, stared at Yu Fan again, and had already made a decision in his heart.

He was born at the age of eighteen, Xiucai at the age of twenty-three, and was lifted at the age of twenty-seven, but after nine years of examination, he failed to get a jinshi, so he served as an important official as a lifter, and he was tired of being an official for more than ten years.

It's just that when you reach the eighth grade or above, you can no longer cross a radish and a pit, you can be your own age, and you still hope to be a county magistrate and get "positive results"!

I want to be in the position, which needs support, so I think of a way, I want to rely on a backstage, and I reluctantly have a relationship with the Yu family, and I am worried that I will not have a chance to perform - that is, it is not difficult to listen to Yu Fan's words and move some hands and feet.

The world only said that the examination room was strict, and there was a real person to supervise, even the examiner couldn't move his hands and feet, but he didn't want to always have some means, thinking of this, Yang Cai thought for a while, the spark in his eyes flashed, and he went towards an examination room.
