Early in the morning, when it was just dawn, the streets that should have been deserted were actually crowded and packed with people.
This is the day when a handful of the most elite people meet the emperor in the triennial examination and become his disciples.
These proud men of heaven may be wearing quail clothes now, but next time we see them, they will most likely become the masters of the sky, beings that ordinary people want to look up to.
More than a hundred proud men, guarded by the imperial cavalry, marched all the way to the palace.
Go straight to the examination room appointed by the Holy One: Jinbang Hall.
The semi-open-air venue is majestic, surrounded by carved beams and painted buildings, and glazed and gold tiles, creating a grand atmosphere.
Right in front, there is a high altar. The current state master Huagui Sanxian, on behalf of the emperor, is worshiping the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
The arrival of Wenqu Xingjun's aura filled the entire Jinbang Hall with majestic aura. Every candidate felt that he was full of energy and fatigue was gone.
Some Chinese scholars came forward, looked around at the well-behaved candidates, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, please be polite. There is no one in the world who is more eye-catching than you at this moment. Feel free to express what you want to express. Your Majesty and
The humerus ministers will definitely give the fairest judgment and will not let any worthy person be dishonored.
In addition, although it is a palace examination, it is impossible for the Holy One to supervise the exam from beginning to end. You will all receive a test paper. After answering the questions, you will have a royal lunch and take a short rest. Then the great bachelor of Wenqu and the Holy One himself will personally
Marking for you.
Soon, you will go straight to the Taixuan Hall, which is where hundreds of civil and military officials and the Holy Emperor discuss government affairs every day. The Holy Emperor will select the top ten people who answered the exam and conduct an in-person interview.
Of course, if the interviewer fails to answer the questions perfectly and makes some mistakes, others can also stand up and testify, which can be regarded as self-recommendation.
But think carefully, this may cause you to lose points, and may also offend the person who answered the question. You should weigh it yourself.
Don't raise your hands, I've finished what I need to say, I won't answer any more questions, just take a seat."
A few of them still wanted to ask questions, but those who had left some impression on the country's scholars retracted their hands in a dignified manner.
According to the seat number assigned to you, sit down at the neatly arranged tables in Jinbang Hall.
This time, unlike the general examination, candidates are required to bring their own rice and make a fire to cook, and there is a toilet next to them.
After all, it is a palace, and the number of people is too small. If there are urgent needs, two Xuanshi can lead them to the toilet, so that the palace will not stink.
Mrs. Ye turned her pen around. After getting the test paper, she lowered her head and saw that there was a question, but ten sheets of paper were handed out.
The topic is: How to govern a country.
This is simple.
Mrs. Ye raised her hand directly.
The national scholar was a little speechless. He noticed that Ye Tailao was Lu Guoshi's apprentice, and he looked relaxed like "I am awesome, I must be the number one scholar." It was difficult not to notice.
The scholar asked: "Examiner No. 1, what's the matter?"
Seat ranking is the ranking of the joint examination. Wen Quxingjun has already taken action, so naturally no one will dare to do anything wrong. It is natural for Ye Tai to become the first place in the joint examination.
Ye Tai said: "What, there's not enough paper."
The scholar glared and said: "Ten pieces of paper, only two hours of exam time. This is not enough. Do you have diarrhea? If it is not enough, raise your hand again!"
Ye Tai said: "Oh."
Then he ignored the weird looks from others and concentrated on answering the questions.
First write the title: One foot of test paper, thousands of miles of country.
Then he started to scold Fang Qiu.
If one family cannot be governed, how can the whole world be governed?
If you want to govern the country, you must first take care of yourself. How can you govern the country if your home is a mess?
The four realms of self-cultivation, housekeeping, governing the country, and peace in the world should be in a progressive relationship. Who would believe that a person who cannot manage his own life well can govern the country?
Of course, there is one thing that has not been mentioned. The Son of Luck does not count, and Liu Bang and his likes did not mention it in their early years.
Then, there was another bombardment of famous quotes from the past, directly writing down the classic theories that can be accepted by human society at this point in the books of later generations, and constantly giving examples. The words are humorous, but they contain great truths.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Ye writes a lot, which is destined to at least qualify him to be interviewed by the emperor and ask questions.
That's right, it's a lot.
In addition, what he wrote was not bullshit. After writing on ten pages, there was not a single typo or deformed word. The words were flying and phoenix-like, with gold hooks and iron paintings.
The answer sheet for others is just a few pieces of paper, a thin stack, and there are typos. It is impossible to arrange it as neatly as my own, and the gap will naturally appear.
After writing the last word on the last piece of paper, Mrs. Ye turned around and said: "Paper."
Behind him was the national scholar who was invigilating the examination, the one who sat in charge of the Yuewen Tower.
This person was marveling at it at the moment. When Mrs. Ye started writing, he came over to read it.
Let's see what he's going to do.
How could anyone just start answering directly without thinking about it?
But I was surprised. The famous sentences and truths contained in Mrs. Ye's answers were indeed thought-provoking.
The most important thing is, you write too fast and too neatly. Are you still a human being?
Most people just start writing, and you have finished writing ten pieces of paper, and it is as neat as a printing template.
No, printing templates sometimes have ink mess. You don’t even have an ink ball. Are you a thousand-year-old demon who has sneaked in?
Of course, this is just a complaint in Chen Guoshi's mind. Anyone who can walk through the demon mirror and enter the palace with a clear face cannot be a monster, not even a demon immortal.
When Mrs. Ye asked him for paper, Chen Guoshi had already prepared it and directly gave him a stack of fifty sheets, "Don't worry, keep writing."
Mrs. Ye: "I can write as much as I want, but the examiner is not allowed to talk to the candidates!"
Chen Guoshi: "..."
For the first time, I was scolded by a junior candidate, but they had good reasons.
Examiners, especially the chief examiner, are not allowed to talk to candidates except in extremely special circumstances. They are still taking the exam. Even if you are not helping to cheat, you will disturb others.
Chen Guoshi blushed, coughed dryly, raised his head, noticed the strange peripheral vision of others, and scolded: "Take the exam well! Don't look around!"
Then, he buried his head again and watched Mrs. Ye scolding Fang Qiu.
Two hours.
Four hours.
Mrs. Ye never stopped.
A few breaths before the drumbeat sounded when the time was up, Mrs. Ye put down her pen and ink, took a deep breath, and put the last answer sheet beside her.
Chen Guoshi, on the other hand, was in a state of shock from beginning to end.
Not only did Mrs. Ye answer well, but this guy really didn’t have a single typo from beginning to end!
I wrote on sixty sheets of rice paper!
Do you want to exhaust yourself to death, or do you want to exhaust the emperor to death?
However, seeing Mrs. Ye still scolding Fang Qiu when the exam was about to end, Chen Guoshi wanted to remind him that the time was almost up.
But how can any examiner deliberately remind a candidate.
Moreover, this guy just criticized me, and he has written so much. Even if there is no ending, I will be amazed by the previous content and his writing power, and will not worry about whether to finish it.
So Chen Guoshi said nothing and watched quietly, wanting to see this guy embarrassed.
As a result, I was as precise as a machine. I calculated the time and finished it directly in the last few breaths.
Accepted.
Now even Chen Guoshi was convinced.
And I am sure in my heart that this guy must be a monk with advanced cultivation!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such energy and writing power!
Ordinary people may not be able to write so much in one go without even a single typo in two hours or even two years!
After Mrs. Ye and the examiner with strange eyes took away Mrs. Ye's test paper, he stood up leisurely and sighed: "I just wrote a beginning and it's over. It's boring, boring."
With that said, he walked outside Jinbang Hall and prepared to have lunch.
Chen Guoshi said leisurely behind him: "Did you tell me on purpose?"
Mrs. Ye didn't even bother to reply: "There's no examiner to monitor the exam, he's just staring at a candidate!"
