The assessment was originally scheduled for four days, but unfortunately, I didn't expect that there were so many students coming to take part in the assessment.
Wang Fuling divided the assessment into two batches. Scholars who had participated in the assessment could not leave at will, nor could they meet with those who had not yet participated in the assessment. In order to make the examination room accommodate so many candidates, Wang Fu even
The side wall was demolished, a wooden fence was set up around the perimeter, and Northern soldiers came to patrol and guard it. When the first batch of candidates came, they saw groups of Northern troops stationed around.
This made the atmosphere in the entire examination room suddenly become extremely solemn. The Northern Army could be said to be the elite of the Han Dynasty, and they were deeply admired by the scholars. They guarded the surroundings of the examination room coldly, and were fully armed. They were whispering to each other and smiling at the scholars who came to take the examination.
, fell silent, lowered their heads, submitted their passes one after another, and entered the examination room. However, it was not the Northern Army who was responsible for checking their identities.
These are some of the sacrificial wines from Taiyue College and Menzi School.
Yuan Shao stood at the front, and his tribe followed him. After entering the examination room, the Northern Army immediately came to search. They were not allowed to wear swords or carry any books. Then, they came to the original school ground, here
A lot of mats and wooden cases had been placed, and soldiers led them to sit down one by one according to their number, and sat down in their respective positions.
Soon after, a long-bearded man walked into the examination room, followed by several officials. Yuan Shao sat upright, and several people behind him whispered. This man was the current Wang Situ. Wang Fu walked into the examination room and sat at the top.
Sitting on his left was a minister who looked a little older. This minister was tall, but a little thin, and his hair was a little gray.
Yuan Shao recognized this man, he was Sikong Wenren.
The person on his right is Cai Yong of Taiyuan College.
The rest of the officials could no longer sit with them. They stood around, frowning, and patrolling. These officials were all young officials, such as Jia Xu, Xun You, Jin Xuan, Liu Biao, etc. Yuan Shao did not squint.
After everyone took their seats, Wang Fu ordered the soldiers of the Northern Army to retrieve the examination papers.
Half of the young men in the crowd were so happy that they smiled when they saw the examiner who came to inspect. He waved his hands and shouted in a low voice: "Good nephew! Good nephew! Da Lang!" Xun Youyi
Stunned, he turned his head to look, smiled helplessly, walked over quickly, and whispered: "Greetings to uncle, uncle... why are you here?? Oh, uncle, don't say any more, and left the examination room,
You and I will talk about it again..."
This candidate was still a baby and looked very cute. Hearing what Xun You said, he nodded and said in an old-fashioned way: "My nephew is so busy patrolling, I won't say more..."
Hearing his sweet voice, Xun You felt even more dizzy. He nodded and ran away, returning to Wang Fu. Wang Fu naturally saw the scene over there and looked at it coldly.
Xun You glanced at him and asked, "Who is that boy just now?"
"He's my uncle, I call him Yu... I don't have a name yet..."
"You, the Xun family, are simply fooling around. By allowing a boy to come here for an examination, is it that you are despising the authority of the emperor?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, my uncle has been smart since he was a child..."
"Huh!" Wang Fu snorted coldly, but said no more.
Xun You did not dare to patrol the area anymore, and changed areas with others. After a while, the soldiers brought the examination papers and began to send them out one by one. The first session was to examine Confucian classics. After all, Confucianism is the foundation of
, the rest are all at the end, because after He Lao, Gongyang had a tendency to rise, so the Confucian Classics adopted some basic contents from the Stone Classics and could be used freely. The examiner was Cai Yong.
The candidates picked up the special pen and ink and began to answer the questions. In order to allow them to prepare drafts beforehand, Wang Fu prepared some papers and distributed them to the candidates. Yuan Shao picked up the examination paper and read it carefully. The questions were not very complicated.
, and many of them were free-form questions. Yuan Shao did not rush to write. He took out the paper and started writing.
For a moment, the entire examination room was very silent.
"Examiner! Can you give me another piece of paper?"
"Examiner!"
"Test..."
Yuan Shao raised his head in annoyance and wanted to look back, but he was afraid of causing misunderstanding. He didn't know who it was. He had asked for four pieces of paper in succession. Then he looked down at the paper that he had only written half of. Yuan Shao thought to himself.
Why is the gap between people so big? Who is this person? He is so familiar with the classics and meanings of Confucianism. Could he be an outstanding student from Taiyuan University?
This sound undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the candidates around them. They started writing tremblingly and accelerated their writing speed. The man kept asking for paper, and finally even attracted the attention of Wang Fu, Xun You, Jia Xu and others.
He also kept wandering around him.
Perhaps it was because this was Cai Yong's first time asking questions, and Cai Yong had little experience. The questions were obviously a bit simple, and everyone wrote them very easily. Of course, excluding the candidate who had been disturbing everyone before, Wang Fu gave
Everyone was given two hours to answer the questions. Naturally, this test paper did not need to take two hours, and everyone finished answering it quickly.
After answering the questions, I didn’t want to leave in a hurry and corrected my mistakes over and over again.
When the time came, the soldiers of the Northern Army came to collect the papers. Yuan Shao and others were sent to the guest room. They were going to rest. However, another group of candidates still had to take the assessment. Tomorrow, they would have to take the arithmetic test, and they would not
Dare to slack off, just walked into the rest room, many candidates started talking, all talking about the topic just now.
Some people sighed, some laughed, and most of them argued.
With Yuan Shao here, many of the Yuan family's children did not dare to talk to others at will. They stood quietly behind Yuan Shao, exchanging the topics just now in a low voice. While they were talking, suddenly, a group of people came over with a smile.
Yuan Shao saw them, forced a smile, raised his hands and said: "Xiuruo! You are here too. Just now I was surprised, why didn't I see you!"
"Benchu, I saw your..." The person who came was called Xun Yan, who was the leader among the many candidates from the Xun family. He looked at the person behind him and said: "This is the Yuan family
Dalang Shao, whose courtesy name is Benchu, please come and greet me quickly..."
The Xun family's children came to visit one by one, headed by Xun Yan, namely Xun Chen, Xun Yue, Xun Pei, and the youngest, Xun Yu, who stared at everyone with wide eyes. Yuan Shao smiled and said: "At this age,
You, why did you come to take part in the assessment?"
"Oh, he insisted on coming, but the adults at home didn't allow it, so he kept crying for two hours. In desperation, I brought him here..." Xun Yan sighed, but Xun Yu was
He became angry and defended loudly: "I didn't cry! It was a strategy! It was a strategy!"
"Okay, okay...you didn't cry..."
"Hahaha~~" Several people laughed.
"Everyone, be well!" Someone suddenly walked up to them, smiled, and said with cupped hands. Several people turned their heads and observed together. Usually, when they, the children of aristocratic families, stand here, few people would disturb them.
, who is this?
This man is also a young scholar. He is wearing good clothes and has a certain dignity. With so many people staring at him, he does not feel embarrassed at all. He holds his hands and smiles and says: "I, Liu Bei, also named Xuande. Seeing that all the emperors are extraordinary, I have come here specially to do so."
Come and get acquainted...”
Hearing his surname, Yuan Shao also bowed his hand and said: "It turns out to be Liu Jun. I am Yuan Shao, whose courtesy name is Benchu..." Several people also introduced themselves one after another. Liu Bei did not talk about his identity, but talked with him.
They chatted about some interesting things. This man spoke very well. Yuan Shao and others soon started chatting with him. The atmosphere was lively. Liu Bei discussed with them the assessment just now...
"Everyone knows that a scholar was caught cheating just now. I heard that even the king was alarmed..."
"Oh?" Yuan Shao was shocked and asked, "How can someone cheat on such a simple question?"
"That's right. I don't know what it is. I heard that a person hid the paper used in the examination room in his arms and wanted to take it away, but he was caught..."
"Take away the paper? Why?"
"I don't know, I heard that this person has hidden seven or eight pieces of paper!"
"Hahaha, there is such a person. I think he must want to sell the examination questions to the next batch of candidates. This person is really a shame for a scholar. However, seven or eight pieces of paper,
Why does he have so much paper? Is this the person who has been asking the examiner for paper before?"
"Probably so..."
"Do you know what that person's name is?"
Liu Bei thought for a moment and said: "It seems to be called a horse or something...I forgot..."
