Although both the county and government examinations are held in Jiangdu, the examination venues are different, or not exactly the same.
If the examination room at the government office is not enough, the examination room in Jiangdu County Government will sometimes be requisitioned.
A few days before the exam, the gentlemen of the academy took the students who had passed the county examination to the government office to report.
In this year's county examination, Ganquan Academy accepted a total of twenty-five candidates. Excluding Yan Mingli who cheated, the remaining twenty-four candidates were admitted to the county examination, seventeen of them were admitted.
The admission rate is quite high.
The reason why there is such a high admission rate is that, except for some second-generation students, the quality of the students at Ganquan Academy is already very good. In addition, the reference students are all gentlemen who think they have passed.
Only when they are confident of passing the county examination will they be allowed to take the county examination.
Take Shen Yi's younger brother Shen Heng as an example. Shen Heng's knowledge is supposed to be enough to participate in the county examination. However, Mr. Qin felt that he was not qualified enough, so he wanted to give him a year to study hard.
For various reasons, naturally more than half of the students from Ganquan Academy passed the county examination.
Among the eight people who had not passed the county examination, except for the two "five boys who joined each other" to make up the numbers, the remaining six were all due to abnormal performance.
The prefectural examination is the same as the county examination. When registering, you still need to have a local student as a guarantor, and you still need to marry five children.
But this time, there are seventeen people here in the academy, which is not enough to gather the number of friends. Therefore, the gentlemen need to find people who are familiar with them to gather twenty people.
Compared with the registration for the county examination, although the registration for the prefecture examination is not as lively, there are still a lot of people.
The main reason is that not only children from Jiangdu County register, but children from other counties in Jiangdu Prefecture will also come to the government office to register and participate in the prefectural examination.
In the past few days, due to the influx of many children from other counties into Jiangdu City, the price of "Fengde Collected Works" now sold in Jiangdu bookstores has tripled compared to two months ago. The handwriting in the bookstores is now clear.
Some of the "Collected Works of Feng De" even sold for sixty-seven taels of silver!
Fengde is the surname of Chen Yu, the prince of the mansion.
In the government examination, it is natural to find out the character of the master of the government.
Although there were many people signing up in the government office, students from the academy such as Shen Yi were "locals" after all, and all the academic officials in the government office knew them. Among a large number of people, the students from Ganquan College were the first to register.
After registering, several gentlemen from the academy were ready to leave with the students.
Shen Yi stood behind Mr. Qin, preparing to leave honestly.
At this moment, there was another loud singing.
"The master of the palace has arrived~"
Hearing this voice, the people who were a little noisy immediately became quiet.
Shen Yi looked a little strange.
Because this scene seems familiar.
A month ago, when he applied for the county examination at the county government office, he looked like this. When Zhang Jian and Zhang Xianzun were applying, they came to the registration site.
However, purely in terms of official positions and status, the Jiangdu prefect is much more powerful than the Jiangdu magistrate.
After all, he is the prefect of the capital city. If he does well and has the right opportunity, he can jump into a confidential government office and become an important official of the imperial court with just one leap.
The position of Jiangdu magistrate was already considered to be a middle- and upper-level official of the imperial court.
Compared with Zhang Xianzun, who was somewhat immature, Chen Fuzun's appearance was much more majestic. Accompanied by several government officials, this Fuzun stood in front of everyone.
The students and gentlemen present all bowed and saluted Mr. Fu Zun and called him Fu Zun.
And these children who did not have official titles even made a show of kneeling down and kowtow to the royal master.
Master Chen, who originally had his hands behind his back, waved his right hand and shook his head slightly: "You don't need to be polite."
The master of the government looked calm, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "The scientific examination is the foundation of our government to recruit talents, and it is also a major event for the country. Now that I, Jiangdu Prefecture, will take the examination, I represent the court, the government and all of you.
Tongsheng, please say a few words."
Chen Fuzun's face was a little calm. He looked at everyone majestically and said slowly: "The government examination is just one of the boy's exams. If you fail the test this year, you can come back next year. If this government knows that someone cheated in this year's government examination,
Trying to find ways to get by."
Master Chen said coldly: "I am here and I can tell you clearly that once you are caught by me, even if the academic officer does not punish you, I will definitely punish you heavily!"
"Once caught, I will have someone record it in the school book. No matter what your family background is, as long as I serve as an official for one day, you will be banned from taking the exam for life!"
Chen Fuzun's words were so serious that all the students present fell silent.
Only Shen Yi rolled his eyes.
Feelings: This master of the palace is here today, not to encourage the candidates, but to clean up the discipline in the examination room!
It seems that the fraud in Yan Mingli County's examination was not concealed, or in other words, it was not concealed from the master. Otherwise, Mr. Chen would not have made this trip to scare these children.
them.
There were a total of one or two hundred children present. The younger ones were like Shen Yi, who were fourteen, fifteen, fifteen or sixteen years old. Some of the older ones looked to be in their forties. They were honored by Chen Fu.
After being so frightened, everyone trembled and did not dare to say a word.
Next, Chen Fuzun said a few more words, and then ended the lecture.
After the lecture, the man in official attire scanned the crowd, then seemed to see Shen Yi and walked straight towards Shen Yi.
Shen Yi was a little afraid of this royal master.
There is no other reason, mainly because last time someone Shen made up a nursery rhyme in Jiangdu City in order to make things worse.
Although this matter has long since passed, Chen Fuzun has caused a considerable impact after all. Shen Yi thought he had covered it up well, but he was inevitably a little guilty in his heart.
So he shrank his head slightly, looked at his nose and heart, and hid in the crowd.
Until a voice sounded in his ears.
"Shen…Yi?"
Shen Qilang suddenly raised his head and saw the face of Master Chen right in front of him.
He trembled with fright, then quickly lowered his head and respectfully handed over his hands: "Student Shen Yi, I have met the master of the palace."
Chen Yu looked at the young man in front of him with a half-smile, then put his hands behind his back and said, "You come with me, I have a few words to ask you."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm down, then nodded, said hello to Mr. Qin next to him, and followed Chen Fuzun out of the courtyard where the exam registration was held.
Chen Fuzun walked slowly and led Shen Yi through the Jiangdu government office. Not long after, he came to the backyard of the government office. Chen Fuzun found a pavilion in the backyard to sit down, and then pointed to the stone opposite him.
He took the stool and said, "You sit down too."
Shen Yi did not sit down, but bowed his head to Master Chen and said, "Students dare not sit in front of Master Chen."
"Don't you dare sit down?"
Chen Fuzun sat on the stone bench, raised his head and looked Shen Yi up and down, with a faint smile on his face.
"Looking at your appearance now, I almost have to wonder if the person who sang the nursery rhymes in the city was you.uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com"
Chen Yu looked at Shen Yi with a calm expression.
"Is Jiangdu full of tigers and wolves?"
Shen Yi was shocked, then he lowered his head slightly and said, "The students can't understand what the Master said."
"You cover it up very well."
Master Chen said calmly: "At first, I sent people to investigate for more than a month, but no clues were found. However, later, Lu Anshi took you to the government office. At that time, I was a little curious.
."
"Lu Anshi has no students in Jiangdu, nor any juniors."
Master Chen said calmly: "At that time, I suspected that this matter was done by that nosy old man Lu Anshi, so I asked someone to check you..."
Having said this, Chen Yu showed another smile on his face.
"Then, I found out that Mr. Shen, you have been very close to several children in Jiangdu City recently..."
