The cold wind is blowing, and colorful flags are hunting.
A main hall has been cleared and temporarily transformed into an examination room. Many students are sitting quietly and waiting. No one dares to make a noise, but they are communicating with each other with curious and excited eyes.
The scientific examination began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it was not mature until the Zhenguan period. There was no special examination room. Generally, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, or the office area of Honglu Temple were used to hold major examinations. It was not until Xuanzong that there was a special examination room, that is, Gongyuan, and only during the period of the Empress.
There is a palace examination, but it is very informal.
Qin Huaidao didn't care where the examination room was located. He came to the scene to check. Each person had a desk and everyone was sitting on their knees, keeping distance from each other. Cheating was not easy. However, Qin Huaidao did not believe the supervising officials. He saw thousands of people guarding the exam outside.
Niu Wei suddenly had an idea.
At this time, the examiner Wai Lang came forward and bowed: "I have met the King of Han, and there will be a big test soon. What are the questions?"
According to the rules, the test questions need to be determined in advance, then printed, sealed, and distributed during the exam. A few days ago, the examiner Wai Lang ran to Qinjiazhuang to ask what the test questions were. Qin Huaidao refused to disclose them for fear of leaking the secret, which made him angry.
He turned around and ran away, writing a book and reading a copy.
Li Er was also very curious about what questions Qin Huaidao would ask, but his main purpose was to use Qin Huaidao to beat the Confucian disciples. Naturally, he was partial to one or two and got through with it.
Qin Huaidao was thinking about the problem. When he was interrupted, he stared at the other person with dissatisfaction and asked: "I am the examiner and I have my own rules. Why are you anxious? First, hand out a large piece of paper that has not been used before."
"This..." The other party hesitated.
"Why, my king's words don't work?" Qin Huaidao glared at the other party.
The other party hesitated for a moment and then said bravely: "I don't dare, but the auspicious time has come and the exam will start soon. I haven't seen these exam questions yet. If there is a delay..."
"The delay is also my fault. Why are you worrying so much? Go ahead and make arrangements." Qin Huaidao was extremely strong. There was only one question in the exam, not several as in the past. Fill-in-the-blank questions and a lot of big questions made it unnecessary to print.
, it will be done as soon as the time comes.
But others didn't know it, and the examiner Wai Lang didn't dare to contradict him, so he looked at Kong Yingda for help.
Kong Yingda's temper got worse. The people taking the scientific examination were all Confucian students. How could he be negligent? He immediately asked, "King Han, but the examination questions haven't come out yet?"
There were many proctoring officials accompanying me, and they all smiled meaningfully when they heard these words.
"What do you want to say?" Qin Huaidao stared at Kong Yingda.
Kong Yingda's tone was a bit strange: "King of Han, I am the deputy examiner and the chief judge. If King Han doesn't know how to set the questions, I would be willing to do it for you."
When everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces became even brighter and they looked a little disdainful.
In everyone's opinion, Qin Huaidao may know poetry, music, and antiphons, but he definitely doesn't understand Confucian classics. How can such a person come up with questions? It's a joke.
Qin Huaidao had long expected that this group of people would be dissatisfied, but there was no reason not to hit him if he extended his face. His eyes turned cold and he shouted: "Kong Jijiu, please correct your position. You are just a deputy examiner. This exam has nothing to do with you."
The king has the final say, and now, I issue the first order, all invigilators must go out."
Kong Yingda even asked unceremoniously: "It is against the rules not to have an invigilator. What do you want to do?"
"Of course it's against the rules to not have an invigilator, but you proctors can't do that."
"You don't trust me?" someone asked.
"Nonsense, you are all disciples of saints and disciples of Confucianism. Who knows whether you will protect each other? If I don't believe you, get out of here now, immediately. Anyone who refuses can be impeached." Qin Huaidao scolded unceremoniously.
, raised his hand and pointed outside the door, full of momentum.
"You...are unreasonable!"
"We have been invigilating exams for many years and have been appointed by the Holy Spirit. How can we go out?"
"That's right, I can't bear to wait!"
Everyone was so excited that their faces were livid with anger, as if they had been greatly humiliated.
"Someone is coming!"
Qin Huaidao would not be indulging in it. He stared at this group of people coldly and added: "Drive them out. If they dare to make loud noises and influence those who take the exam, they will be beaten hard by me. Just don't die."
"Follow the order!"
Luo Wu rushed in with a group of people, driving people away without hesitation and beating them if they refused. The people in the Guards only obeyed Qin Huaidao's orders and would not be lenient.
The scene was in chaos for a while. Kong Yingda and others were furious, but they had no choice but to be driven out. Cursed and frustrated, they ran straight to the palace.
The candidates in the hall were stunned when they saw this scene, and a feeling of uneasiness surged into their hearts.
Qin Huaidao was in a good mood. Without the annoying flies, the exam would be fair. This exam was not so much about helping the court select talents, but more about selecting talents himself. Of course, he must be strict and select those who are truly capable.
Examiner Wai Lang was the person in charge. He was left behind by Qin Huaidao and asked in a cold voice: "Does my words work well now? If so, go and hand out blank papers to the candidates. Hurry up."
"Here!" The merit examiner Wai Lang dared to disobey, so he quickly went to make arrangements.
Luo Wu came forward and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, we have all been driven out. Looking at the direction, we should go to complain to the Holy Lord. Is it okay? Do you have any other orders?"
"Arrange people to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach. In addition, arrange for people to supervise the exam and delineate the area so that no one can keep an eye on it. Anyone who finds cheating can go directly to check. Once you get the evidence, beat them out. Just don't die.
." Qin Huaidao said loudly on purpose so that all the candidates could hear clearly.
When the examinees see the invigilator, they will beat them as soon as they ask. Who do you think they are? They don’t dare to say anything.
Luo Wu was a little surprised. He actually asked a bunch of vulgar men who were illiterate to invigilate the exam? No way, but then he thought about it. If he had to do this, he would be able to brag about it for a lifetime. His eyes lit up and he quickly ran to make arrangements.
The people in the Guards don't know much about invigilating exams, but they have good eyesight. If anyone makes a small move, they can immediately spot it, let alone invigilating the students for the big exam. No one believes it when I say it. Thinking about it makes everyone excited.
The area was quickly demarcated, and no one only had to keep an eye on a dozen or so people, so it was very easy.
The merit examiner Wai Lang and his assistants handed out blank papers to everyone. Seeing this scene, he was furious. When will a vulgar martial artist be able to take the exam? He also invigilated the exam. It was simply insulting to the gentlemen, but he dared not speak out when he was angry.
Not long after, the blank papers were handed out.
Qin Huaidao came to the front and said loudly: "Listen carefully, I will only say the test questions once."
Everyone quickly sat up straight, raised their ears, and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. Aren't there several large sheets of exam questions filled with questions? Why did they only say them once? Who can remember this? I was a little anxious for a while.
Qin Huaidao didn't care about so many things, and said loudly about the topic he had thought about for a long time: "This subject will only test one policy theory, which discusses how Confucianism governs the country. If you find a cheater, beat him out. It will be completed within an hour. When the time is up, you must get up and leave, otherwise
This is regarded as cheating, and the tester will start counting."
"ah……"
The merit examiner, Wai Lang, was a little confused. Is this what caused such a big fuss?
Isn't this question too simple? It doesn't take an hour at all, it can be completed in half an hour. This King of Han really doesn't understand the classics and meanings, doesn't understand Confucianism, and is just a martial artist.
Candidates are also confused. Is this question too simple?
Confucianism advocates "benevolent governance" and "moral governance", advocates "rituals", and advocates "three cardinal principles and five constant principles". The answer that all enlightened students know will take an hour?
It is said that the King of Han did not understand the Confucian scriptures and did not study its meaning. It is indeed true!
Many people showed relaxed smiles and began to grind, their eyes shining, as if they had just seen the high school rankings and returned to their hometown in glory. Some people were even thinking about how good Hanwang proctored the exams and passed the test easily. Fortunately, they still co-signed the book against it.
, whoever dares to resist the King of Han's invigilation of exams in the future will be scolded to death.
A few people expressed their thoughts. The reputation of the King of Han was not made up by rumors. His poetry was right and no one could compare with him. How could such a person be mediocre? This topic definitely has a deeper meaning.
There was silence in the main hall, only the sound of rustling ink was left.
Not long after, someone started writing, and the speed was not slow.
Qin Huaidao made some observations and reminded: "There is no need to cover your name in this exam. Write your name in the upper left corner first to prevent omission. All exam papers without names will be invalid."
Everyone was a little confused. If they didn't keep their names, wouldn't it be obvious to the judges at a glance and protected by acquaintances? What should they do if they were given high marks? How could they be fair? But they didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly wrote down their names first.
Qin Huaidao did this on purpose. Li Er caused trouble for himself, so why couldn't he cause trouble for him?
The imperial court doesn’t want to worry about how it is judged. Anyway, you can know the pros and cons by looking at the content, so it doesn’t matter.
After observing for a while, he saw that the candidates were all starting to answer questions. There was a noise outside. He strode out and told Luo Wu who came up to him: "Keep an eye on the candidates. I'll go take a look."
"How about I accompany you?" Luo Wu said anxiously.
"No, just keep an eye on the scene." Qin Huaidao hurried to the entrance of the hall and saw Li Er coming, followed by a large group of invigilators. Kong Yingda was talking even more excitedly, and there were some officials accompanying him.
"stop!"
"Don't go near this important test site!"
Qin Huaidao scolded without hesitation.
"How shameless! Your Majesty has arrived and you still don't greet him respectfully!" Kong Yingda responded tit-for-tat, his tone unkind.
The accompanying Yulin guards also looked at each other angrily. How dare you scold the Holy One and seek death?
One by one, they held down the hilts of their swords and were at war with each other.
