Chapter 947: The Emperor Wants to Read the Exam Paper Quickly
"I respectfully accept your orders."
All the candidates saluted and kowtowed, and then listened to the sound of the whip three times, and the ceremony officer sang in the same voice: "Gongsheng students, please take your seat and answer the questions."
"Thank you!"
It was time to start answering questions. It was impossible for all 500 people to be arranged in the hall, and they couldn't be lined up, so they were lined up densely from front to back according to their ranking.
People with lower rankings can only sit in the corridor at the back.
If there is a storm, even if you have measures, it is better to stay in the main hall.
But since they are ranked according to their grades, even if some people are depressed, they are not dissatisfied. Who makes their grades inferior to others?
Yu Lu's grades were pretty good and he was seated in the hall.
The weather was still a little cold, so I felt a little scared while walking in the palace, and my hands were somewhat stiff.
He clenched his fist hard, and the stiffness in his fingers slowly disappeared.
Looking at the white paper in front of him and thinking about the topic, Yu Lu did not hold the pen lightly and did not dare to peek upward. He tilted the bamboo tube containing water, poured some on the inkstone, and slowly started grinding it with the ink stick.
Taisun’s original teachings still echo in my ears.
Yu Lu also reflected upon his return and felt that Taisun's words were indeed reasonable. Scholars looked at things differently from officials who looked at things.
Even people who are officials look at things differently and think differently in different official positions.
The higher you are in a high position, the more you consider the overall situation.
People in low positions want to consider the overall situation, but they are also limited by their horizons, knowledge and environment, making it difficult to think comprehensively.
Yu Lu has talent and intelligence, but without the guidance of his grandson, a person from a small town without the guidance of a famous teacher, he may have to make one or two detours before he can find his way out.
But now, Yu Lu has a clear mind and knows how to write.
After your mind has calmed down a bit and the ink is getting thicker, you pick up the soft brush with your fingers, lick the ink, and dip the pen until it is full. Your eyes fall on the paper, take a deep breath, and concentrate on writing.
When the pen tip landed on the paper, the first word was the word "chen".
"I am ignorant in intelligence and shallow in academic knowledge, and I am not qualified to ask questions..."
Since the first sentence was written smoothly, the rest of the content followed. The more I wrote, the smoother it became. It was as if I was no longer writing, but copying the article that had already been formed in my mind.
Come down normally.
Yu Lu only felt that he was writing with energy, and the more he wrote, the more comfortable he became. The dull feeling that was still pressing on his chest disappeared without a trace as he continued to write quickly.
"...I am reading the imperial policy and am worried about seeing His Majesty's efforts to deprive the people of their livelihood, and are anxious to provide food and clothing for the people. I sincerely and sincerely express my sincere sympathy for the thought of benefiting Yuanyuan..."
There is a hearty feeling, as if air is coming out from every pore, which makes you immersed in it and makes it difficult to extricate yourself.
If others turned around to look at him at this moment, they would only see that this young man seemed to be immersed in a state of extreme enjoyment. He was so focused that he had excluded everything in the outside world, including time.
"..."
The emperor glanced at the candidates in the room, then at Yu Lu, paused, and looked away, as if he didn't care at all about his grandson's former classmate and friend.
His physical condition seemed better than before, but he also showed signs of fatigue.
Without making a sound, the emperor walked down, paused in front of some people, looked at them for a few times, quickly passed through these candidates, and walked out directly.
The candidates along the way breathed a sigh of relief and touched it, their backs were wet.
"I'll leave soon, so as not to disturb the exam."
The emperor left. Su Zi was a grandson and it was not good to stay here for a long time. He also glanced around and glanced at Yu Lu. He saw that Yu Lu was still writing quickly, not even noticing that the emperor and himself were both.
After seeing it, Su Ziji smiled slightly and had a feeling that Yu Lu must have followed his advice and had already entered the state.
This state often means that the article is completed in one go.
Other candidates were obviously disturbed when the emperor walked over, or their movements paused, or their movements became stiff. In short, they were not as immersed as Yu Lu.
Seeing that Taisun also stood up, the remaining ministers and examiners all stood up. They all frowned upon hearing this and did not say much. They followed him to see him off.
Su Ziji walked out and walked out of the main hall. He looked at the large number of tables and chairs placed on the corridor outside the hall. The candidates, who still looked in pain, kept walking and walked out through the gap in the middle.
"Is this how the matter ends?"
After going out, Su Ziji frowned. In this imperial examination, the emperor made the first move, and he counterattacked fiercely. I thought there might be problems with this imperial examination, but now everything is going well. Did the emperor really give up?
"No, it's not that bad." Su Ziji looked gloomy. He understood a creature like the emperor and said thoughtfully, "Just wait and see."
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Taisun went to the side hall to rest, and someone knocked a few times. At noon, someone came with a basket, signaling to the candidates that half the time had passed.
"Here, each person has two pieces of bread and a pot of tea."
This is the rule in the examination room. Only flour cakes are given out, because the meat is easy to be stale and cause diarrhea, which will be a big disgrace. In the palace examination, there are just some sweets in it.
"ah……"
Yu Lu suddenly woke up from that state, glanced at the cakes and tea, and nodded slightly in greeting, but he was not hungry. He just looked at the densely written draft paper and happened to write at the end, which was "I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Three characters.
It’s written!
Yu Lu let out a long breath. His chest was already feeling relaxed and no longer blocked, and now it felt even better!
After reading the article again, he couldn't help but smile. Only then did he really feel hungry, so he took the pancake and wolfed it down with tea.
After finishing eating, I picked up my pen and copied the articles in the draft onto the answer sheet one by one.
In the exam before the palace, there must be no loss of etiquette and no mistakes. This is actually very energy-consuming. After I finished transcribing everything, I checked it carefully three times and found that there were no mistakes or taboos. I saw that it was a little dark in the palace and there were already officials.
Come forward and light the candles one by one.
"It's almost dusk." Yu Lu took a look and saw that the hall was a little dark and gloomy. There was a gust of wind in the distance, and then a few drops of rain fell.
"It's raining, hurry up, take an umbrella."
Naturally, there was a plan for the palace examination, and rows of umbrellas were blocking the corridor. However, it was already late, and some candidates had already submitted their essays one after another. Yu Lu always wanted to be steady. Even after he finished writing, he did not submit it immediately, but waited to leave.
More than half of the people signaled the supervisor to seal the paper and put it aside.
People who went out all walked around, so when Yu Lu and Fang Xi met, they were already outside the palace gate.
Fang Xi handed in the paper a little later than Yu Lu, but it wasn't too late. Yu Lu waited for less than a cup of tea outside the palace gate when he saw a familiar figure coming out of the crowd.
Therefore, although this place was outside the palace gate, it was not far from the armored soldiers guarding the palace gate. Gong Sheng did not dare to make any noise after he came out, and Yu Lu just waved to Fang Xi.
At this time, the rain was getting heavy, and the pine waves were gradually approaching. The entire towering palace of the Forbidden City was submerged in the rain curtain, and the clouds and waves were even darker, as if thunder was brewing.
Several eunuchs rushed over in a hurry, walking quickly.
"Quick, your Majesty wants to read the exam papers quickly."
