It’s a regular test question, which means basically everyone has been exposed to it, so there’s no reason why they can’t do it.
But precisely because of this, if everyone knows it, then this kind of question looks simple, but in fact it is difficult for everyone.
The competition is fierce.
What's more terrible is that policy theory is the most important of the three tests in the provincial examination. It can basically determine the final score of the provincial examination, so Shen Yi cannot be careless.
This time, Shen did not dare to fall asleep in the examination room like before. After carefully reviewing the questions, he began to spread out the manuscript paper and wrote the first draft of his answer sheet.
Shen Yi spent a whole day before officially finalizing the draft.
The next day, Shen Yi spent another whole day revising the test papers.
On the third day, after Shen Yi "got up" from the bed, he began to carefully copy the draft answer sheet onto the examination paper, then checked for errors and omissions, and then checked for any taboos.
After everything was checked, it was already the afternoon of the last day of the provincial examination, which was the afternoon of the third day of October.
After the first round of three gongs, Shen Yi stood up directly, handed his test paper to the passing yamen through the hole in the door of the examination room, and then silently sat back to his original position, waiting for the examination room to open.
After the first round of papers was handed in, an official came over and unlocked the door of the examination room for Shen Yi. At this time, Shen Yi had already packed his things, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Looking at the toilet in his examination room, he looked at the yamen chai and asked, "Brother Chai, where do these filth go?"
The officer was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he had never heard anyone ask him this question. After being stunned for a moment, he pointed to the backyard of the examination room and said, "There is a pothole in the back, and people usually fall there."
Shen Yi nodded his thanks and carried the toilet.
The Yamen shook his head, with a strange look on his face, and muttered: "This is the first time that a scholar is willing to do such a shameful thing. He is still such a young scholar. It is really strange."
Many of these cadres are from the Ministry of Rites. They will participate in autumn and spring. On weekdays, I see many scholars, and occasionally I will write a few sentences.
Because the provincial examination is extremely important, after the first round of gongs, almost no one handed in papers, and those who handed in papers packed up and left the examination room. Therefore, apart from the patrolling yamen, the only candidate in the examination room was Shen Yi, carrying a toilet. .
This kind of behavior will naturally attract attention.
Coincidentally, at this moment, an official who looked to be about thirty years old was patrolling the examination room with a group of left-hand officials. He bumped into Shen Yi. Seeing Shen Yi holding a toilet in his hand, the left-hand officials next to him couldn't help but Frowning slightly, only the leading official looked surprised and said with a smile: "Little boy, what are you doing?"
Shen Yi raised his head and looked at the person's replacement uniform, then at the formation of officials around him, and he had already guessed the person's identity.
However, he has now met the minister, the prince, and even the current emperor directly. Now he is not too panicked. After hearing this, he lowered his head slightly and said: "Sir, the students have been taking exams for nearly ten days. It is inevitable that there will be some The filth, after today's provincial examination, the students will pour out these filth, so as not to stink to future generations."
Hearing the words "a remnant descendant," the thirty-year-old official laughed and said, "What a remnant descendant."
He looked at Shen Yi with a smile and said with a smile: "This Jiankang examination room will be taken care of by someone after the examination. Even if you don't pay much attention to it, you will still use the toilet no matter what, and it will not cause a stink to future generations." situation."
After all, Jiankang is at the feet of the emperor, so it is relatively civilized, but the examination rooms in other provinces may indeed be stinky.
Shen Yi looked calm and said with a smile: "Those who come to take care of things later can be considered latecomers. Today in the provincial examination, students have to get rid of all the dirt on their bodies, so it is better not to stink the latecomers."
The chief officer looked at Shen Yi with a smile and asked: "This young man is not only observant of etiquette, but also eloquent. What is your name?"
Shen Yi looked up at the chief officer, then at the people behind him, shook his head slightly and said, "The student guessed that you should be the examiner of the Jinke Provincial Examination. It is for your reputation and the students' fame. The student thinks that you should avoid it." .”
The middle-aged man in front of him, in his early thirties, was wearing a sixth-grade official uniform and was surrounded by a group of people. It didn't take much thinking to guess that he must be Cao Qian, the examiner of the Jinke Provincial Examination and the former top scorer.
Even though the names of lakes are recorded in all examination papers, Cao Qian, as the examiner of the provincial examination, still needs to keep some distance from Shen Yi. After all, lake names are sometimes not very safe. Even if Cao Qian does not mean that, next to him If the jealous left officials file a complaint, Cao Qian's future and Shen Yi's fame may all be in vain.
The fact that Cao Zhuangyuan could ask this question shows that he is not politically aware enough and is still a court layman, much simpler than Shen Yi.
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Cao Qian was stunned, patted his head, and suddenly smiled: "I almost forgot about this, so I won't ask your name today. If we meet again in the future, I will tell you properly. Just speak."
Shen Yi nodded respectfully, then carried the toilet and went to empty it.
After finally emptying the toilet, Shen Yi found a place to wash his hands, then returned to his examination room, packed his things, and after walking out of the examination room, he looked back at the examination room where he had stayed for nine days. After exhaling a breath, he walked towards the door of the examination room and walked out.
When he walked out of the examination room, he saw a large circle of people gathered at the entrance of the examination room, and it was so crowded.
Most of them are family members of the candidates, and some are here to do business.
Shen Zhang, Xu Fu, and the two maids at home had been waiting at the entrance of the examination room early. After several people saw Shen Yi coming out, they waved to Shen Yi excitedly.
Shen Yi also smiled and strode towards the crowd.
After everyone bowed to each other, Shen Zhang patted his son on the shoulder with an eager look: "Yi'er, how did you... do in the exam?"
Shen Yi rubbed his tired head and shook his head with a wry smile: "I think it's good, but the specifics still depend on the judgment of the marking officers and the examiner."
Shen Zhang smiled happily.
"Just think it's good. Dad has booked a restaurant. Let's go and have a good meal today."
Shen Zhang pulled his son's sleeve. He always talked little, but this time he was unusually talkative.
"Yi'er, you don't know. It's very difficult to book a restaurant today. Dad ran around the city several times the day before yesterday before he made a reservation at a famous restaurant in Jiankang City."
Hearing this, Shen Yi turned to look at Xu Fu and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu said earlier that he would treat us when he came out. Did Xiao Xu bring any money today?"
"Take it, take it."
Xu Fu patted his waist and smiled happily: "I'm treating you today, sir and master, please don't compete with me."
Everyone was laughing and joking, surrounding Shen Yi, and walked towards the restaurant in the city.
While the Shen family was having dinner together, the sixth issue of the Xindi Newspaper began to be printed and distributed in Jiankang City.
Different from the previous ones, this time Di Bao, in addition to daily internal propaganda, also mentioned some content about Northern Qi.
The title was written urgently by Shen two days before the provincial examination, after getting the palace information and spending half a night.
"The enemies of the two Huai Rivers still exist today, and the autumn wind will kill Zhou Jin'an!"
