The sound of bells and drums could be heard in the distance. It was just after the fourth watch, the sky was still dark, and the footsteps were already gathering towards the Imperial College.
If there were no lights, the scene would be like a zombie siege.
Just because every scholar's face showed a look of solemnity, like a soldier rushing to the battlefield, ready to draw his weapon and kill at any time.
The Provincial Examination is an examination held under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites of the State Council, so it is also called the Rites Examination, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties it was called the Huixi Examination.
Today, a total of 4,872 people from four hundred states in the world gathered in the capital.
There are less than 400 people left!
The imperial examination determines the superiority, the provincial examination determines whether one will stay or go.
If it were not for literary requirements, the last place in the provincial examination would have the same status as the first place.
Therefore, this second round of provincial examinations is actually the real battle that determines the ten-year window.
It’s no wonder that all the candidates have such expressions.
Huang Shang and You Shixiong merged into the crowd and walked forward calmly and calmly.
He is actually a little nervous, but compared to other students who bet their entire fate on this exam, he is naturally much better off.
Furthermore, he is focused, has worked hard so far, and is fully prepared. If it still doesn't work, there is nothing to regret.
With the sound of several gongs, the gate of the Imperial College slowly opened.
The Zhigongju of this subject, that is, the examiner, is Fan Zhen.
This person is actually very powerful, but the Song Dynasty is actually a bright group of heroes, and he is relatively not well-known. However, there is a good saying in the history circle of "Three Models of History Compilation".
The prison officer came out solemnly and led several teams of soldiers. Under their supervision, thousands of people moved forward slowly and orderly and merged into the examination room.
Next, the procedures for the reconciliation test are actually the same and do not need to be repeated. However, when Huang Shang saw the statue of Saint Kong in the Imperial College, he couldn't help but be surprised.
That literary spirit can no longer be described as rich, but broad and vast, filling the world.
It covers not only the Imperial College, but also the entire capital.
Since the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, Confucianism has influenced the entire China and penetrated into every aspect of people's lives for thousands of years.
If this is a kind of belief, there is no doubt that compared to Taoism, Buddhism has a much wider audience.
However, the vitality of heaven and earth in this world is so thin that no one can use this power and let it go to waste.
At this moment, Huang Shang's breathing quickened slightly, and he felt greedy to absorb it with all his strength, but was quickly suppressed by reason.
When Jieyuan is strengthened, if he wants, he can actually absorb more Wenqi actively.
But reason told him that this was not a long-term solution.
Any such force that favors belief is deeply involved in the world environment.
This world is the Song Dynasty, which raised Confucianism to the sky and emphasized literature over martial arts to the extreme. Only then did it have such convenience. In the future, will it be the ancient Eastern world every time we travel through the heavens?
Therefore, Huang Shang used Wen Qi and Zhen Qi to form Haoran Zhengqi.
Zhenqi strengthens the body, blood, energy, and enables insight into the mysteries of the human body;
Wenqi pays attention to knowledge, mind, spirit, and assuming historical responsibility;
The two are combined into one, which is Haoran’s righteousness!
This power belongs to him, and it can work wherever he goes!
In view of this, there is now too much desire for literary energy, which will inevitably lead to imbalance.
If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.
Huang Shangming has a clear mind, turns a blind eye to external temptations, enters the best state, and steps into the examination room.
Soon the test papers were handed out and he began to review the questions.
First impression, the difficulty soared.
The second impression expands the scope.
The soaring difficulty is reflected in the meaning of unpopular classics. To answer these classics perfectly, it is no longer possible to memorize them, but to understand them thoroughly.
This is not difficult for Huang Shang.
What he learns is by no means rigid, and he has long been able to draw inferences from one instance to another.
The scope of expansion is in poetry and policy.
Expanding the scope does make it easier to display, but it also makes it easier to see a person's talents and knowledge.
This can widen the gap.
After Huang Shang reviewed the question, he put aside the question and reviewed the three main points he had conceived earlier.
First, be special.
Whether it is writing style or point of view, it must make the examiner shine.
The number of examiners in provincial examinations is much greater than the number of examiners in each state. However, with the large number of examiners, there are also many test papers, so they must be more cautious when marking.
And people's energy is limited. Don't think that it will be different when it comes to the provincial examination. In fact, you still have to take the lead.
How big is the gap in literary talent and knowledge among successful people who have fought through thousands of troops?
Sometimes, it’s just a novelty.
Second, what you say should be meaningful.
Huang Shang specially went to Guangdong and Guangxi and collected a large amount of information just for this purpose.
The examiners of the provincial examination are all elites in the country. They have sharp eyes. They have never been to any place and don’t understand anything?
For example, Su Shi made up allusions in his essays. This is a special case after all. Under normal circumstances, exaggerating in an article is basically the end of the story. However, when the article is written to the fullest, it is precisely when the article is most likely to make this mistake.
Third, we must target competitors.
This is the result of the previous intelligence collection.
Huang Shang recalled in his mind the powerful competitors in this subject, and he had to avoid the areas where they were best at them.
Then, in areas where these people are not good at, give full play to them and defeat them all.
It’s not just this exam, it’s also true if you want to succeed in life?
After going through all this, Huang Shang picked up the Zhuge pen.
Take your time!
…
…
While Huang Shang was writing rapidly, Xu Yue and four other people were walking through the Worry-free Cave.
The two sides formed an alliance and the four reincarnations cooperated, and the efficiency was extremely terrifying.
Xu Yue made a plan, checked for any omissions and filled them up, Xu Feng charged into the battle, and Nightingale assisted and strengthened.
The four of them each had their own strengths, and they quickly locked onto the suspicious target, followed the clues, and caught each other's traces in Kaifeng Mansion.
Sure enough, it is still a worry-free cave.
This place is really good for hiding.
The reincarnators like this kind of place, where they are both enemies and friends.
At this moment, the four of them maintained their formation and were very vigilant all the way.
Even if Wuyou Cave is modified, there will still be no waterway below the imperial city.
But it wasn't there originally, but it can be excavated.
"here!"
When the four of them searched carefully, Nightingale soon found the trace and pointed it out with the magic wand.
On an originally empty wall, ripple-like ripples suddenly appeared. As a Taoist talisman floated down like a fallen leaf, a brand new passage suddenly appeared in front of him.
Xu Feng touched the smooth edge and measured the height: "This is the work of the excavation robot. Good guy, it's so stealthy, digging tunnels right under our noses!"
Nightingale raised her head and said strangely: "Why are you so high?"
This passage is built close to four meters, which does look strange. After all, a normal person can walk through a two-meter passage.
Xu Yue looked thoughtful, and Wuque asked: "Where does this direction lead?"
Xu Yue spread his hand, and a three-dimensional map of the imperial city appeared on it, drawing a red line: "To Yanfu Palace!"
Yanfu Palace is a relatively independent palace area. Outside the palace city, its current scale is not large. After Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, he was dissatisfied with the narrowness of the palace. In order to please the emperor, Cai Jing called in the servant boy Guan.
Yang Jian and other five eunuchs began to make extensive reforms.
Wu Que looked at the map: "They plan to enter the North District Harem from Yanfu Palace, and then go to the East Palace to assassinate the prince. Should we destroy the passage directly, or guard it here?"
Just as Xu Yue was about to say something, Xu Feng and Wuque's expressions suddenly changed: "Be alert! Someone is coming!"
After a while, a sound sounded clearly in the ears of Xu Yue and Nightingale.
The sound coming from the chest is not like a human being, but more like the breathing of a beast.
The four people immediately separated and formed a formation. They saw a huge silhouette squeeze out from the shadows and came into view.
They were wondering just now, why should the passage be built so high?
Now the answer is revealed.
When a giant man more than three meters tall, dragging a giant sword, revealed his true face in Lushan, everyone changed their colors: "West District! Butcher!"
