Chapter 347: The Exam Begins, the Advantages of the Big Family
"The entrance examination has begun, please wait for the body search in an orderly manner," a master stood in front of the gate of Yingtian Academy, and said in a loud voice.
All the scholars have cultivated in their bodies, so naturally they don't need to bring food and quilts to the exam, and there is no problem in starving for at least two or three days.
There was no food, so it saved a lot of trouble.
Two rows of soldiers with murderous aura came to the gate of Yingtian Academy like ghosts, and Wang Mingyang's figure quietly appeared at the door of Yingtian Academy: "Today's big exam is a major event of the country, all scholars, please send all the things on your body about the reading exam here, otherwise you will find that these items will be cheated when you search your body for a while."
The state has spent a lot of effort in order to take the examination, and even the pen, ink, paper and inkstone used in the examination have been prepared, so there is no need for scholars to bring their own.
One after another, the scholars handed over one book after another, and then looked at the soldiers who were like clay sculptures, shrunk their necks, and Xiucai met the soldiers, and he couldn't explain the reason.
After a long time, seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Mingyang nodded: "Search your body."
A general-looking man took out a list: "Number One".
"Coming, coming" A gray-haired middle-aged man walked out and saluted the general.
The general waved his hand, and his soldiers quickly searched the soldier's body: "No abnormalities were found."
"Let's go in," the general waved his hand.
"Thank you, General" The scholar saluted the general and walked into the academy.
Each scholar has his own number, some similar to the student number of later generations, the number is reported to the name of the scholar after the government examination, and the imperial court issues a waist card. And the number is written on the waist card.
All privileges disappeared at this moment, and whether you were a child of a big family or a common man, you became a chicken and a dog in front of the law of the imperial court, revealing your essence.
The scholars in Shangjing naturally went in first, and the Yingtian Academy in Yuzhou was lined up behind Shangjing, and the soldiers checked very quickly, and the inspection was completed between breaths.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the inspections were completed, and there were thousands of scholars who took the examination this time, not only the people from the thirteen states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also some small tribes who admired the culture of the Celestial Empire. I came here to take the exam.
Check-in. Naturally, it is necessary to worship saints, Confucian saints.
How many Confucian sages have there been from antiquity to the present?, no one knows, in short, a lot. Otherwise, there would be no humanitarian boom.
Taixue has a similar layout to the Yingtian Academy where Chen Jiu is located. It's just that in some subtleties, it is more refined than Yingtian Academy. More luxurious, more heritage.
"Worship the saints".
"All the scholars enter the examination room".
This examination is different from the ordinary state government examination, and all the scholars are in the same room. This is a big house that can accommodate 10,000 people, and I don't know what to do with such a big house.
There are tables arranged in the room, each of which is well arranged and separated by the same distance, so that everyone can see each other, but they can never see what is written on each other's test papers.
After glancing at Wang Jinlun, Chen Jiu walked to his seat.
You're going to ask what if someone cheats by magic?
This is impossible, here the heroic righteousness is churning, the yin god cannot get out of the body, and the qi and blood of the warriors will also be suppressed, not to mention that there are dozens of great Confucians and a sub-saint sitting here, if you can use spells under their noses without being detected, then you still need to take the exam, and you will directly become a strong party, why should you be restrained by the imperial court.
All the scholars took their places, looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, Chen Jiu nodded with satisfaction, although he didn't know where this ink, paper and inkstone came from, in short, it was better than usual.
Wang Mingyang sat at the front, his eyes patrolling the audience: "Now there is time for half a pillar of incense to polish ink."
After the words fell, a master walked in with an incense burner, and the fire fold gently lit the incense, and the entire examination room was silent, only the sound of grinding ink, rustling.
The smell of books was pervasive, the atmosphere in the venue was tense, and everyone knew that the real exam had begun.
After the half-pillar incense, a golden cloth appeared in Wang Mingyang's hand, which was covered with the seal of the town and country.
This seal carries the power of the whole country, and it needs to be unlocked according to a special ceremony, so as not to leak the test questions in advance, and forcibly opening it without a ceremony will only turn the scroll into ashes.
However, the exam questions that bless the seal are rare, and it will only be so troublesome when the emperor himself makes the questions.
"This time the topic is the emperor himself, and I hope that all the scholars will figure out the will of heaven and win the favor of the saints" While saying, Wang Mingyang put the scroll in front of a table, then lit incense, and bowed to the scroll: "Now that the official exam is now, please start the question."
When these words fell, the sky above Shangjing was surging, and the body of the uncultivated dragon moved slightly, and a beam of light landed on the scroll, and the scroll was instantly opened and hung in the air, and the test questions clearly appeared in the eyes of everyone.
"The first question explains the twelve articles in the three volumes of the Treatise on Strategy, the third part of the fifth volume, the twelfth article in the ninth volume, the seventh article in the eighteenth volume, and the seventy-second article in the thirty-sixth volume."
"The second question explains the entire volume of the first volume, the fifth volume, the seventh volume, and the twelfth volume of the "Teacher's Sayings".
"The third question explains the entire fourteenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twenty-fifth volumes of Confucianism."
"The fourth question, Confucian muscles and bones, wind and snow moon, should be based on the wind and snow moon as the theme, and write a poem."
Question 5 ,,,,,.
Question 6 ,,,.
Chen Jiu looked at it, there were fifteen questions, the first few questions were about Confucian classics, the middle few questions were about Confucianism, and the last part was a hundred miscellaneous conversations, which were more knowledgeable.
As for the last question, it is a national policy and should not be taken lightly.
Although the three classics of Confucianism are available in every exam, you don't think it's easy, the exam is not for you to translate, but for you to write your own understanding and feelings.
Everyone has cultivated these three classics, and their ears and eyes are clear, and there is no problem in memorizing them, even if they memorize the explanations, they just have to write out their own different explanations, but it will be troublesome.
This is the reason for the longevity of Confucianism, the foundation of which lies in, once you write something new and into the eyes of all the masters, then you will get the attention of the Confucian masters, get promoted, get better opportunities, get cultivation.
How many years has the Great Zhou been founded?
How many scholars have taken the examination from the place where the country was founded?
No one knows that all aspects of these three classics have basically been explained by those former scholars, and the more you go to the back, the more difficult it becomes, until then there is nothing to say and nothing to write.
Looking at the explanations of the three classics, all the scholars began to scratch their heads, scratch their ears and bite the pen, each thinking about it.
Here you can show the advantages of the big family, the big family didn't know how many explanations were prepared for the scholars when they took the exam before, as long as the scholars were willing to work hard to memorize the explanations, it would be over.
One person wants to help with all the forces of the entire family, and he wants to find someone to help, which one is great? Even if he is stupid, he knows that the three stinkers have competed against Zhuge Liang.
You have to ask if this exam is a random selection of questions from the three classics, how can the big family hold down the questions no matter how powerful they are? .
The history of the big family is longer than that of the empire, I don't know how many years it has existed, there is a scholar exam every year, and a few articles have to be prepared every year, and all the articles have been explained over the years, as long as the younger generations work hard to memorize all the explanations, this exam is not a problem.
You have to say too much to memorize, just kidding, this is the world of Xianxia, and it is not a legend to never forget.
Use up an article, after the exam, the family will prepare a new article for the next generation of disciples to memorize, this is the inheritance of the big family, how can it be compared to those ordinary people, even if ordinary people are working hard, it is difficult to explain all the articles to their meaning.
Wang Jinlun, Xie Yun, Liu An and others showed a relaxed look on their faces, and they didn't even think about it, and wrote it on paper.
In the distance, Chen Jiu closed his eyes and pondered, and Liu An saw that Chen Jiu was thinking, revealing a hint of pride.
Wang Jinlun looked at Chen Jiu, and when he saw the big Confucian on the side, he quickly lowered his head, this is the examination room, no matter how big the family power is, it is useless, it is not as big as the national regulations.
"Boy, fight with me, what are you going to fight with me, you are going to die this time" Wang Jinlun laughed wildly in his heart, and his hands kept moving. (To be continued......)
