Chapter 59: Submitting the paper in advance, the examiner was shocked!
I am afraid that the Five Surnames and Qiwang have already penetrated into every aspect of the Tang Dynasty.
If he wants to implement this commercial law, the first thing that will bear the brunt is the huge impact on the interests of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, and they will definitely veto it.
To this day, the current sage Li Shimin...
I'm afraid I can't support myself alone.
Qin Wenyuan sighed helplessly when he thought of this.
The influence of the aristocratic family is really in all aspects, whether it is exams or business, he has seen it all.
I really can't shake it off.
Soon, Qin Wenyuan calmed down, finished writing the second question, and then turned his attention to the last question, which was poetry.
Poetry is the easiest for him. After all, before time travel, almost all children grew up reading poems by poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi.
But now, Li Bai and others are not born yet, so plagiarizing poems will only be the first creation of someone from Qin.
Qin Wenyuan looked at the questions. The first question was, if you were born in a prosperous age, how would you feel?
Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment and immediately wrote "Early Autumn in Chang'an" by Ziqiu of the Tang Dynasty.
The locust flowers dance in the wind and fall in the ditch, and the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain enters the city in autumn.
There is an urgent need to recruit troops, and the young master is drunk in the jade building.
Although the author Ziqiu was also from the Tang Dynasty, he was not yet born.
Therefore, this poem is entirely the original creation of Qin Wenyuan.
In terms of poetry, Qin Wenyuan excerpted Cao Xueqin's "The Apricot Curtain Is Looking at".
Cao Xueqin knows everything, but she hasn’t been born yet.
Finally, when Qin Wenyuan finished writing all the exam questions, only two hours had passed.
"Ding ding ding!"
Suddenly, in the quiet imperial examination courtyard, there was a very clear ringing of bells.
This is the prompt for candidates to hand in the paper, indicating that the candidate has finished answering the questions and is ready to hand in the paper.
For a moment, the candidates in the cubicle near Qin Wenyuan were stunned.
What's going on?
Isn't this the first day of the imperial examination?
It’s only been two hours, it’s not dark yet, the sun hasn’t even set yet, and yet someone has handed in the paper??
Several candidates were dumbfounded.
"Huh? Why did someone hand in the paper? Could it be that they accidentally bumped into it?"
"Oh my god, it's only been two hours, and I'm still hesitating about the first question of the Confucian classics, and then someone handed in the paper?"
"Submitting the paper so quickly? I guess this person was just like me. He was completely defeated by this test question and probably gave up."
The candidates were each in their own cubicles, talking to themselves.
Some people were amazed, some were sorry, and some were despised, with different expressions.
Although some people marveled at Qin Wenyuan's intelligence, they would never have imagined that the questions Qin Wenyuan was given were not the questions on the first day, but the questions in the next three days, and he had finished all of them!
Soon, an examiner came to Qin Wenyuan and asked calmly: "Are you sure you want to hand in the paper?"
Qin Wenyuan nodded, handed the test paper to the examiner, and said with a smile: "I guess my wife is at home as anxious as an ant on a hot pot about my imperial examination. I have to go back as soon as possible."
The examiner nodded casually, not caring.
He has been an examiner for three or four years, and he has seen too many candidates like Qin Wenyuan who simply gave up the exam.
Yes, he didn't believe it from the beginning to the end that Qin Wenyuan had written all the exam questions.
"Go out from here, follow the gate and go straight out."
"Remember, don't look around."
Qin Wenyuan nodded again, picked up the pens, inks, paper and inkstones that Changle had carefully purchased in person because he was rushing to take the exam, and then left without looking back.
Qin Wenyuan's leaving figure made the examiner look at him.
"The imperial examination is indeed difficult, but it is really rare for you to give up directly like you."
The examiner had a look of disdain on his face and returned to his seat with the test paper.
Then, an official came over, this person was Wei Zheng.
This time the examiner was Wei Zheng, he was a selfless man, and Li Shimin would really feel at ease only if the matter of the imperial examination was left to him.
At this moment, he came to the place where Qin Wenyuan handed in the paper and asked: "Did someone just hand in the paper?"
After all, among all the candidates, Wei Zheng was the first person to hand in the paper, so Wei Zheng still had some expectations.
The examiner nodded and said disdainfully: "Mr. Wei, that's right."
"He handed in the paper in less than two hours, and he handed in all the questions in three days."
"They are probably the candidates recommended by the wealthy families. Every year there are dozens of candidates who do not follow the normal rules and are directly recommended by them. They also fail every year."
"This candidate must have been overwhelmed by the test questions, so he submitted the paper in advance."
Hearing this, Wei Zheng frowned slightly.
This year is the first time that he has presided over the imperial examination, and he is not aware of such a thing.
Wei Zheng snorted coldly and said angrily: "If there is such a rule, I will report to His Majesty later and ask him to abolish this rule."
"Let's not talk about this first. Who is that candidate? Which school recommended him?"
The examiner was stunned for a moment. He had never seen Qin Wenyuan's name before.
Each test paper has the name of the candidate.
If he really wanted to see it, he could see it at first glance, but he looked down on Qin Wenyuan, so he didn't bother to look.
"Master Wei, wait."
The examiner took a look at the test paper and continued: "This person's name is Qin Wenyuan. The person recommended is not from a noble family, but Lin Youwei, the minister of the Ministry of Industry."
Lin Youwei?
Wei Zheng's frown deepened.
Lin Youwei was an official he liked very much. Because of similar interests, he often visited Lin Youwei's home.
In his original impression, Lin Youwei was just like him, selfless and upright.
Unexpectedly, he actually made such a derogatory move.
"Show it to me." Wei Zheng said coldly.
The examiner handed it over.
At this first glance, Wei Zheng saw the theory of Confucian classics [the Doctrine of the Mean] which hides evil and promotes good, grasping both ends and using it to explain to the people.
Wei Zheng looked at it with a critical attitude at first, but the more he looked at it, the more amazed he became.
"It is not only impartial and unbiased, but also an outstanding leadership art..."
Wei Zheng murmured, feeling more and more incredible.
As a well-read man, how could he not realize that this famous sentence was perfectly translated by Qin Wenyuan.
I had never been able to see this far before.
Regarding the art of leadership and the golden mean, he had never thought about it in a positive way before.
"Really... No wonder, no wonder this sentence is classified as [the Doctrine of the Mean]."
The examiner saw Wei Zheng's obsessed face and walked over to take a look.
"Huh?! Oh my God, this...is this really the answer given by that examinee?"
The examiner was shocked by Qin Wenyuan's answer.
