Chapter 233: The Imperial Examination
readx;
Since the news of Wuzhou's public imperial examination came out, not only Wuzhou scholars cheered and rushed to the capital city to take the examination. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is the neighboring Jingzhou and Xuzhou, and there are also scholars who come from thousands of miles away, among them, there are both children with hanging hair, and there are also elderly people, all of whom are full of excitement.
This imperial examination really contains the expectations of too many scholars in the world who have no way forward!
Many scholars who go to the examination meet on the road, or there are acquaintances, salute each other, that is, they don't know each other, and they also nod their heads and salute, showing good upbringing, but inadvertently, the heaviness of the eyes is deepened, and in the place where the scholars gather, it is even more so, and even the atmosphere is a little dignified.
Jianye has a large population, a very prosperous literary style, and more great Confucians gather here to preach and teach, with the largest number of scholars, and the tense atmosphere is also the heaviest.
Less than mid-December, Jianye's restaurants and inns were full, and later scholars had no choice, and some even stayed in the firewood room.
Under the expectation of everyone, on December 15, the government examination officially began, Yang Yun was wearing green clothes, and saw that the surroundings were full of scholars who came to take the exam, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
At this time, there were more than 1,000 scholars who took the exam, all gathered in front of the gate of the official office, black and pressed, shoulder to shoulder, and a little dull.
Yang Yun's physical strength is extraordinary, so he is naturally fine, but the little guy who is carrying a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the side, looks like he is about to faint when he is squeezed, and he looks a little funny.
Yang Yun took the basket in the hand of the little servant and said, "Ah Fu, you go back first! This is already before the mansion, what else can you do?"
The little guy named Ah Fu wiped his sweat and half grabbed the bamboo basket from Yang Yun's hand, "The old man commanded. The little one must send Young Master Yun to the examination room, if there is anything wrong in the middle, but the only thing that is small is to ask! Young Master Yun still has mercy on the little one......
"Okay, good, it's up to you!" Looking at the little guy's expression, Yang Yun laughed, and suddenly felt the tension in his heart before. It's also gone.
This laughter spread far and wide, and immediately attracted attention, seeing that Yangyun was still serving with a small servant, it was obvious that he was a child of a noble family, and there were many strange eyes, so he looked over.
Although it is extremely well disguised. But Yang Yun could still distinguish keenly, this look was inferior and contemptuous, the same as the way he looked at the sons and daughters of the family before.
Glancing around, Yang Yun saw that most of the scholars who came were wearing sackcloth, washed but white. Some also have patches, and very few wear green clothes like themselves.
Knowing that the children of the big families regard it as a great shame to be in the same hall with the commoners, they have their own channels, and they do not come to the imperial examination, but they also have officials, except for a few small families and some children of the collateral line, they do not come to the imperial examination.
"I didn't expect it to be my net worth. It's also superior here......" Yang Yun smiled a little bitterly, and then his heart was excited, he naturally knew. Compared with the sons of the family who have invited famous teachers to teach since childhood, although there is certainly no shortage of self-taught scholars from these poor farming families, the number is very small, and compared with them, they are also insufficient. There is more than the bottom, which has an advantage!
Peng!
With three loud bangs. The door of the government was wide open, and two rows of officials were discharged. A few people dressed as officials came out.
Seeing this, the scholars couldn't help but rush forward, the crowd was surging, and even Yang Yun couldn't help but move forward several steps.
"Silence! If there is another person who violates discipline, he will be disqualified from the imperial examination!"
Seeing that the crowd was a little noisy and scattered, the official headed by him frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
The scholars came from thousands of miles away, and they didn't come to serve as officials for the imperial examination? Seeing that the main examination came out, they all closed their mouths tightly, and the scene was suddenly silent.
Seeing this, the official nodded with satisfaction and said: "This government examination has been approved by Wu Guogong and held in various government offices, this is a grace! You should be careful to remember that you don't violate the rules......
The civil officials all came down and talked about some precautions, and Yang Yun listened carefully.
After the rules were introduced, I listened to the official say: "The exam only takes one day, you wait for the candidates, come forward to register their names and places of origin, and after verifying that they are right, you can receive a license plate and enter the examination room, remember not to make noise!"
"Now, as long as you have talent, you can come forward and sign up!"
After the official finished speaking, he turned to one side and appeared out of the back passage, with copywriting next to him, and more than a dozen scribes waiting.
There was a commotion in the crowd, looking at this promotion step, although many scholars looked eagerly, they did not dare to move first.
After a while, a scholar dressed in sackcloth stepped forward to try.
"Well, write your name, age, and household registration here, and then verify the documents, and you can enter!" said the scribe with a blank face.
The scholar did as he said, and handed over a document, and after the scribe read it, he took out the number plate and handed it to the scholar: "Tianzi No. 1, take a seat according to the number plate, go!"
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, the scholar was a little stunned, then came to his senses, saluted, pulled the number plate tightly in his hand, and walked to the palace.
Seeing that the scholars had successfully passed the customs, the crowds were surging, and they were all rushing in the direction of the scribes.
Seeing this scene, the civil officials led by him were not in a hurry, Yang Yun knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly paid attention to the movements on both sides.
At this time, I heard the loud clanging sound, and a group of sergeants in iron armor poured out of the palace, their long knives unsheathed, and looked at these soldiers!
How could the iron-blooded murderous aura cultivated by these soldiers in bloody battles be something that a few children of a poor family could resist? The flow of people was suddenly like a reef and was firmly blocked.
"You wait to come in formation, don't panic, this official will supervise by himself, and the violators will not only be disqualified from the examination, but will also be punished!"
Seeing that this group of scholars was intimidated, the civil official spoke up.
"I'll wait for you to know!" Shizi calmed down, and finally moved forward according to the queue, received the number plate and entered the venue, the scene was not only orderly, but also orderly.
Yang Yun dismissed the little guy and went to line up, and soon it was his turn.
"Write your name and place of origin, and show the paperwork!" said the scribe without raising his eyes.
Originally, these could be written by the scribes, but if the person taking the test wrote it himself, it was tempting, after all, the imperial examination could not let a rough person who could not write a ligature, otherwise it would not be a joke!
Yang Yun naturally understands this truth, smiled slightly, picked up the pen and wrote, the font in one hand is elegant and handsome, it is obvious that he has worked hard!
He read until he was exhausted, and the effort was not small, and the font was even more modeled after what everyone had written in the previous dynasty.
The scribe's somewhat casual face suddenly changed, and when he saw the clerk again, he saluted and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Yang, this is the number plate, please put it away!"
Don't mention Cheng Xun's identity and face, just by virtue of Yang Yun's good hand, the scribe knows that this person is really talented and learned, this time there is a lot of hope, he is just a mere clerk, how can he not be polite and polite?
"Thank you!" Yang Yun took the number plate, only to see that it was a red piece of wood, and there was also a "Ground Character No. 35" written on it, which was obviously his location.
Just as he was about to go in, he heard an angry shout from next door: "Even if you can't even write your name, you dare to come to participate in the imperial examination, is it really like nothing to be the king?"
When Yang Yun turned around, he saw a scribe drinking, and the scholar opposite was pale and slumped on the ground.
"There is such a fool! Dare to violate the decree of the national government!" Yang Yun shook his head, and saw two sergeants who were like wolves and tigers coming up, ignoring the sobs and pleadings of the sergeant, and dragged him away, knowing that this person would definitely not end well.
The screams went away, Yang Yun collected his mind and strode into the mansion.
There were armor soldiers patrolling all the way, and when they reached the middle, they saw that several halls in the middle were empty, full of desks, and there were pen, ink, paper, inkstones and other things on them.
In the outermost part of the hall, there are also words such as "heaven" and "earth", which are simple and clear with the number plate.
Yang Yun walked to the hall of the "ground" brand, looked for the number plate to find his seat, and only after sitting down did he have the heart to look around.
I saw that in addition to pen and ink and other things on the table, there were also numbers written on the table, which happened to correspond to the number plate.
"Fortunately, this is the local examination room, if I can get outside, it will be really miserable......"
Yang Yun thought about what he had just seen, and he still had palpitations in his heart.
In the square outside several halls, there are still some seats, but the treatment is not as good as the hall, just a partition surrounded by a cloth curtain, and some rain shelters are built on it, which is the examination hall.
"It seems that the examination room is sorted by the eight characters of heaven and earth Xuanhuang and the universe flood and wilderness, among them, the scholars who came early can go to the heaven and earth Xuanhuang four-character examination hall, which is covered by eaves, and the backward candidates only have the universe flood and wilderness four-character examination hall is good to go, not only the wind and the sun, if there is rain, what is the use of blocking the canopy?"
As the candidates took their seats one after another, the civil officials inspected the examination room and saw the candidates sitting in the house smiling, and the candidates sitting in the square couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In Fang Ming's previous life, the imperial examination rooms had to be built with huge sums of money, often taking several generations to perfect, and once they were destroyed by war or in disrepair, they had to spend huge manpower and material resources to repair.
Song Yu gave very little time this time, and he didn't have time to build the examination house, and his financial resources did not allow it, so there was a scene of borrowing the government office.
"Fortunately, there is only one day for the exam, and the wind and sun are beautiful, I think it is enough!" After the civil official smiled bitterly, he looked at the sky and was a little happy.
"It's time, close the door!"
Seeing that the time had come, the invigilator issued an order, and the door of the government office was slowly closed, and any candidates who came late were only turned away.
"During the test, you are not allowed to talk to each other, you are not allowed to take the test, and from time to time there will be an invigilator to inspect the examination room, once you find out that it is illegal, not only will you be out of the examination room, you will be banned from the test for life, but you will also have to be handed over to the judge, you will respect yourself!"
The invigilator made a tiger face and read out the discipline, and the candidates all stood up and saluted: "Students can save it!
"Okay! Candidates sit down!Distribute the test questions!" the invigilator nodded.
Many scribes came out with white scrolls in their hands and distributed them to the candidates.
Yang Yun took it, and after a sweep, he saw that the topics were relatively simple, basically within the scope of the subset of scriptures and history, only at the end, there were a few subjects on the scriptures, and he had also dabbled in them, so he couldn't help but be sure in his heart.
