(The imperial examination system in this book is different from that in history, so please don¡¯t take it for granted!)
The Imperial Examination Yuan, also known as the "Gong Yuan", occupies a large area. The layout has been laid out in rows. Each row is almost the same. There is an aisle in the middle, and there are dormitories next to each other on the left and right sides.
?According to statistics, the total number of these dormitories reaches as many as one thousand.
There are hundreds of other houses in the back, stretching into a large area, forming a splendid building complex. Even in the capital, it is impressive and a landmark.
On the lintel of the dormitory, there is a name plate of the corresponding candidate. After the scholars enter, they have to take their seats according to the number and sit upright in the small dormitory.
The rural examination lasts for three days.
During these three days, no candidate is allowed to leave the dormitory, eat, drink or have diarrhea inside. It can be said that this imperial examination tests not only the talents of scholars, but also their extraordinary patience.
¡°But among all the scholars in the world, who can charge forward and enter the provincial examination level, who has not experienced hundreds of examinations? We have seen many battles. There is nothing wrong with adapting to the environment of the provincial examination early.
Ye Junsheng should be an exception, but as a warlock, sitting quietly for three days is nothing. I just feel that these ancient scholars were really cruel.
It is said that the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng is infinitely lonely. Before a scholar achieves fame, the loneliness he endures may not be worse, or even better.
It also reminds me of historical allusions such as "hanging beams and thorns", and I am honest.
It is precisely because of this that hard work can calm people's minds and lead to long-term success.
About half an hour later, all the scholar candidates found their own dormitories and sat in them.
This is a seat. Immediately, there was silence, and the huge examination room was silent.
soon. Various officials came on stage. Chief examiner, supervisor, inspection, promotion and promotion of deacons, etc. One by one, their figures are high and hidden. His face was solemn, very serious.
The officials took their places. First, someone read out the regulations and disciplines according to the script. After reading, the eunuch appeared and read out the imperial edict.
This edict was specially written by the Holy Spirit. The theme naturally encourages all candidates and scholars to write articles seriously and perform to your best ability.
After listening to the imperial edict. The soldiers were extremely impassioned and their morale was high.
After all the previous procedures are completed, when it is time to officially open the book, the examiner will take out the test questions.
This examination question has been stamped with a red seal and sealed tightly. At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Kaifeng chose the topic.
Soon, the three topics of the Four Books and Meanings were announced.
Immediately afterwards, the topic of the Five Classics.
Both together. A total of seven articles need to be written, which together form the content of the first session on the first day of the provincial examination.
Seven articles, each with a minimum word count of 300, generally within a thousand words. In total, the minimum is about three to four thousand words, which is not too small.
The handwriting of this era is very expensive. In addition, writing with a brush makes it even more difficult. It will definitely be different from the future generations. Don¡¯t talk about thousands of words while typing on the keyboard. Some people with convulsions can earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a day without feeling any pressure.
The title is announced and the timer officially starts.
Invariably, all the candidates began to meditate on the questions.
First conceive, then go to the pen, and a draft will be made. After careful consideration, you can copy it after you have no problems. During the copying process, the calligraphy must be straight and clear, and must be in regular script. There is no room for ambiguity. If the pen tip shakes, ink will spill out. There is no doubt that this article is invalid and needs to be copied again.
The first game on the first day, seven articles, as long as one of them performs abnormally, it means that they are out of the game and it is impossible to come back.
Things like learning from each other¡¯s strong points and making up for their own shortcomings are almost impossible to happen in the imperial examination.
The candidates frowned and expressed their emotions. The officials responsible for inspection and supervision walked down the aisle from time to time, inspecting with sharp eyes.
"Um?"
The official suddenly saw that one of the candidates did not write, but lay directly on the small bed in the dormitory and fell asleep.
¡°Good guy, what¡¯s the origin of this?¡±
He has been proctoring exams for many years and has read numerous exams. He has seen all kinds of candidates, but he has never seen anything like this. I entered the dormitory early in the morning and fell asleep unexpectedly.
Could it be that he is a self-defeating guy?
"But that's not right. Even candidates who are not sure will answer questions and try their luck. They will never give up automatically as soon as the exam starts. In this case, it is better not to enter the market.
Candidates are under too much pressure and often stay up late to study hard. It is common for them to get sick from the stress.
Diseases are classified into different sizes. Common colds and colds can only be eaten away. If you really can't stand it anymore, you can ask someone to send you out for treatment. Of course, once you go out, you won't be able to come back and continue taking the exam.
So this exam is really like a "barbecue", both physically and mentally.
"Ye Junsheng, a very familiar name."
The official saw the name on the residence, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered: Ye Junsheng, isn't he the most talented person in the world?
I really didn¡¯t expect that this guy fell asleep on the bed as soon as he entered the scene. What kind of rhythm is this?
Crazy birth?
By the way, he won first place in Yangzhou, but he didn't come to see the saint and receive the award plaque. At that time, he was regarded as a crazy student by many people and received a lot of harsh criticism. At first sight, it was indeed so.
The so-called "crazy life" has existed since ancient times. He behaves wildly, cynically, and always does things that are not understood by others.
For example, Ye Junsheng is sleeping in the examination room now.
It may be self-confidence, confrontation, or rebelliousness.
The official frowned, ignored it, walked away, and continued to patrol.
Candidates are free to sleep in the dormitory. As long as you are not snoring or disturbing other candidates, the invigilator has no right to interfere.
No matter how you like it, no matter what the final result is, only the candidates are responsible for it.
Ye Junsheng was indeed sleeping, but it had nothing to do with Kuangsheng. His mental state was really tired.
He was ambushed and tampered with. As a result, there is a dream, and there are countless experiences in the dream, which takes a lot of mental wear and tear. If it had been an ordinary person, he would have been as weak as mud, and he would not even be able to climb out of the Imperial Examination Academy.
Ye Junsheng insisted on entering the venue and recorded seven test questions. But he knew that it was not advisable to start writing at this moment, lest there would be all kinds of mistakes, which would make haste rather than speed. So I simply lay down with my clothes on and took a nap first to recharge my batteries.
This sleep lasted for more than an hour.
It was already noon, and someone in the examination room was delivering meals to each dormitory.
The sound woke up Ye Junsheng. He sat up and received his meal first. But it was very crude, just a can of water and two dry pancakes.
This kind of delivery also has factors to prevent cheating. Simple and clear at a glance.
Eat a mouthful of cake, drink a mouthful of water, and it won¡¯t take long before you¡¯re done.
Ye Junsheng took a breath, straightened his expression, polished ink, wrote, and opened the book!
