Due to the different geographical differences between candidates in various places, it took a month to wait before the palace exam. Everyone was fresh when they first came, but then they couldn't find anything interesting, but Han Ling followed Meng Ju around every day to visit dignitaries, but he was basically familiar with the civil officials.

When it was time for the official exam at the end, except for a little nervousness, the rest were full of joy and cheering, and it was almost over.

The palace test is a total of three days, the first astronomical test, the second day of rest, and the third day of martial arts. There are only two items in each exam. The essay test is two essay questions, and every year it is basically a theory and a practice, and the actual one can be given by the emperor. The martial arts test is to answer a military theory on the spot, and then go to the field to compete.

The martial arts test has nothing to do with Han Ling, a little scholar, and there are ten days to review the essay test papers after they are received, and the same examiner is the deputy chief examiner, if he likes which recommended paper, he will mark a "take" word on the paper. The paper with the word "take" will be sent to the examiner, who will make the final decision on the candidate's fate. If the examiner also likes, he will mark the word "medium" on the test paper.

After all the papers are reviewed and the rankings are drawn, they will be handed over to the emperor and his close ministers to finalize the excellent papers and the final top four.

This process depends on the emperor himself, if he is not a monarch with a lot of ideas, I heard Meng Ju say that this will often become a process of trading between large families - the paper here has not yet invented the method of obfuscating names like in ancient China, and all the examiners' names can be seen, which makes it special, very, very difficult to choose each time the examiner......

Speaking of the day of the exam, Han Ling struggled to move forward in the bustling flow of exams, and suddenly remembered when he took the college entrance examination that year-

It was raining frantically in the sky, and the young people were walking in the puddle with a depressed face making a "crackling, crackling, popping, popping" sound, and shoe covers and plastic bags floating on the water, and he finished all the subjects in such a wet body, with a feeling of being a dragon king.

From a small sparse to a big one, he finally went to a school in the northeast where he fought as a professional unit, where he spent four fantastic and bloody years, and returned to the original place and returned to the club.

Just when the "career" was improving, he died in the tearing battle between the two groups of people for no apparent reason, and came to this more fantastical and bloody place, the terrible thing is that he couldn't see where the ultimate of this attribute was, at least, his world view had been brushed many times-

During the exam.

He held the pen and felt the faint sorrow of his college entrance examination.

There is no pressure on the first theory, Han Ling said that the ups and downs have shaped the famous schools in China, Meng privately educated me, and I love Meng private. But the second way-

Is this a literary test? Isn't this a martial arts test? It's like asking a liberal arts student to answer one of alum, potassium iodide, hydrochloric acid, and ferrous sulfate to remove chlorite from drinking water......

"The world has been peaceful for a long time, the people's livelihood is happy, and their respective achievements are made. However, there are barbarians in the north, who open up borders without permission, plunder family property, and destroy houses. Instigating chaos, wanton killing, disturbing the well-being of our border people, and violating the majesty of our great country. Today, the king asked for a strategy to deal with the invasion of the northern Xinjiang tribes, and all beings were written from this. ”

Han Ling: "......"

He tried hard to recall the various historical novels he had read through the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, and thought about how to synthesize the ideas of these people to confuse the problem in the past......

Because this question was originally very broad, Han Ling wrote after thinking about it:

"It is advisable for the saint to hide, and for those who are capable, it is also necessary to reveal it slightly...... There are two ...... of the Dharma. First, when repairing internal affairs, Ming Huangde. Shi Liangchen came out in large numbers, and he sought harmony between the upper and lower levels, and used the clarity of the Central Plains to intimidate the ambition of the barbarians...... Second, we should build side affairs and lift our spirits. In addition to the value of displacement, those who sacrifice themselves to rest in peace will be benevolent and deserved, and they will be regarded as home. ...... With the crown of the cover, suppress the voice of the enemy......"

This is a simple account of how to defend against aggression in two simple internal and external aspects, and then there is the moment when his mind is opened.

"Please be baptized with wisdom, Your Majesty. - Han Ling's heart

In the next three paragraphs, he introduced various methods, such as the economic defeat of the enemy, such as cultural aggression, such as driving tigers and wolves, and such as the cultivation of mobile teams......

Although there is some rigid and unrealistic feeling...... But at the very least, the examiner will definitely feel good when he sees it**.

Thinking so, Han Ling looked at his scroll over and over again with satisfaction.

He was one of the first few in the exam room to finish answering. At the moment when the bell rang, I saw the expression of the eldest brother next to me who was out of the cage and was caught by a macaque, and I felt that there was true love everywhere in the world, and there was joy everywhere in the world.

When he walked out of the examination room, he restrained the joy on his face in time to prevent being beaten by the group.

Outside, there is a lot of mourning. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, groups of three and five were there to talk about it, some were filled with righteous indignation, some beat their chests, and some were crying and wiping their tears......

Han Ling said in his heart: I just don't speak quietly.

This is 80% similar to the college entrance examination. Remember back then-

A said angrily: "What is this JB question this year! Why do I usually study?"

B regretted: "It's a dog, I seem to have corrected a mistake, damn the math can't get a full score!"

C shrugged: "The one-meter-five man next to me has been crying and affecting me, the language choices are all rubber selections, and the essay is written to 600 and I find that it is off-topic......"

Ding said in a daze: "I don't know, I fell asleep after reading the second big reading all night......

In front of the hotel.

Almost everyone was still talking about what had just happened, Han Ling thought about it and quietly took Meng Ju away.

When he arrived at a secluded place, the two of them went straight into a tavern, and Han Ling shouted when he entered the door:

"Little Er, enjoy good wine and good food. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Guest officer, you are still young, and the store refuses to sell wine to you, so let's have some fruit juice." ”

Han Ling: "......"

They got up and left, saying that we would change the house.

The shopkeeper chased after him and said with a smile: "Guest officer, there's no way! ”

He whispered into Han Ling's ear and said, "Guest officer, you bring a hat to ......."

Han Ling immediately said that he understood, and asked Meng Ju to wait here, he went out and turned right to the ready-to-wear store to buy a hat and came back.

Don't ask me why, I just want to relive the egg pain after the exam.

The two brothers are hospitality, you and I have a cup, and they are talking about some interesting things in the examination room, talking about some current affairs, although the real news is not circulated smoothly, and fake news is flying all over the sky, but Meng Ju, who has been in contact with everywhere, has most of the news here is correct, and even he can get the news in the palace, which makes Han Ling gain a lot of knowledge.

Meng Ju is a few years older than Han Ling, but his face is smaller, but the two look the same age. Drinking like this, I was a little drunk for a while.

The meal was finished, and a few people were sitting sporadically in the tavern, Meng Ju glanced around and said in a low voice:

"I heard that you went out for a night trip last time, isn't it interesting? The Imperial City is much more advanced than our place......

Han Ling smiled: "You have a treat, you invite the two of us to go." ”

Meng Ju rolled his eyes and said, "When the master has no money, the last thing the master lacks is money." ”

Han Ling raised his eyebrows: "Get started?"

Meng Ju slapped the table and determined: "Let's do it!"
