After Xu He's Linbao roll call was over, Xu He called his Tao test paper to verify his identity. With what he just said, everyone knew that this guy must be fine, so the examiner just took a look at it. After checking it all, Xu He was let into the examination room.
At this time, Xu He found that not far from the examiner, a student dressed in a blue shirt was crying and bursting into tears. He must have been warned, but he did not dare to make a sound, so he could only stand by the door and wipe his tears. Beating the chest and stamping the feet.
Next to him, there was a man wearing shackles and kneeling in front of the camp gate to show off.
The candidates who entered the venue all looked solemn and felt sad when they saw this.
At this time, Chu Yuan, who entered the stage before Xu He, came to him and whispered: "Don't look, this is an imposter who has been discovered."
Xu He was stern when he heard the words. When he just said that the test papers were checked to prove his identity, if an impostor was discovered and Lin Bao didn't notice it or deliberately concealed it, once he was discovered, Lin Bao would be deposed and imprisoned. The gunman would wear shackles and kneel at the camp gate. He will be shown to the public in front of him, and he will be handed over to the magistrate for trial after the court examination is over.
A gunman who can take the imperial examination must at least have the title of a student.
In other words, this small roll call will kill at least two scholars at once.
It's terrifying to think about it. This is not just a matter of the two of them, but three families were ruined because of this.
Xu He thought, so don't cheat at any time. You will be caught one day and it will be too late to regret it.
At this time, he followed Chu Yuan and left the camp gate to the place where he received the test papers.
Before receiving the test papers, Ding Ze packed up the pen, ink, and inkstone in the test box and put them in a long-eared basket and walked out.
At this point, half of his responsibilities for taking the exam have been completed, and the next step is to wait for Xu He to come out.
Xu He received the blank paper and went to the next step with Chu Yuan - inspection and entrainment.
In places like this, the inspecting yamen will be the first to check the candidates' test baskets. Only written food is allowed to be placed in the baskets. In some strict places, even inkstones are not allowed.
Of course, paper is strictly prohibited.
Chu Yuan was searched first, and two government officials asked him to take off his clothes, leaving him naked except for his shorts.
The two government officials first spread Chu Yuan's hair and combed it carefully with a comb.
Then one person checks the test basket, carefully checking the inside of the pen tube, under the inkstone, and the middle of the ink block.
The other person first touched the collar and threaded areas of Chu Yuan's clothes, then looked to see if there was any writing on the inside of the clothes, and finally even opened his ear holes to take a look.
Just when Xu He thought this was already embarrassing, the man reached out directly and reached under Chu Yuan.
"What the hell!" Xu He was completely frightened when he saw this scene.
Isn't this more stringent than searching for thieves and stolen goods?
Fortunately, Chu Yuan is also an upright gentleman, and naturally he disdains to do things like "coercion". However, at this time, his face was as red as if he had taken a sauna.
Chu Yuan passed the test, and now it was Xu He's turn.
Although Xu He had no trouble in his heart, he still resisted being touched and picked at by a man. After all, it wasn't Xu Luan, so he couldn't bear it.
Speaking of Xu Luan, he also came this time. Xu He saw him outside the court. The two of them didn't even say hello. They were just passers-by.
When Xu He stood between the two yamen servants, the two yamen servants looked at each other, then asked Xu He to take off his clothes and put down the examination basket.
Like Chu Yuan, they carefully inspected the test basket and clothes.
Just when Xu He thought they were going to do something against him, one of them deliberately said loudly: "Xu He is the head of both the county examination and the prefecture examination, and his talent and learning are also recognized by the prefect. How can such candidates be involved?" , just save the next steps!”
Xu He was relieved when he heard this. This was definitely not what Peng Ruyu and Li Zhijie had explained beforehand. Could it be that the other party was his fan? Are you [impressed] by your talents?
At this time, the person who just spoke whispered: "Mr. Xu, this villain is working under Xie Tuiguan!"
...!
I thought I would get two little fans, but I didn't expect that it was still a transaction after all. The people in the system were not clean and upright, but they were dirty.
Xu He bowed his hands towards the two men, put on his clothes and walked inside with an angry look (but actually he was beautiful!).
At this time, he unfolded the test paper he had just received, and his seat number for the exam was printed on the upper right side of the test paper.
Xu He took a look and saw that it was already the 25th!
Damn, it was unlucky, it was death and it was 25, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in Xu He's heart.
Sometimes you have to trust a man’s sixth sense.
The number 25 where Xu He is located is the legendary shit number.
What is a shit number?
To put it bluntly, this location is close to the toilet.
The academic examination was customized during the Wei Dynasty and lasted for one day. During this day, you had to write two essays and one poem, which meant you had to stay in the examination room the whole day.
People have to eat, drink and poop, among other things, this shit hole is close to the toilet, and now it is June, the month of rising heat, so you can imagine the smell...
When Xu He sat down, everyone around him gave him sympathetic looks.
If in future generations, when encountering such a situation, it would be better to tear off two pieces from the draft paper and roll one into the nose.
However, what kind of paper was issued from the imperial examination? When the time came to hand it in, it would have to be complete and complete. In other words, Xu He didn't even have anything to block his nostrils.
Can you push your clothes up to cover your mouth and nose?
No, this is called cheating.
Just when Xu He was feeling despair, the candidates had already entered the venue and sat down one after another.
After Yang Yinqiu led a group of officials, big and small, into the camp gate, a cannon sounded and the camp gate was closed and locked.
Yang Yinqiu sat down and started writing on the paper without talking nonsense.
Experienced candidates know that this is the question set by the master.
Sure enough, when Yang Yinqiu finished writing, a clerk from the Tixue Dao Yamen bowed and took the paper Yang Yinqiu had just written.
He looked at it first, then looked up at Yang Yinqiu in slight surprise. Finally, seeing that his face was still cold, he turned around and wrote the first question of the college examination on a large cardboard.
"Shun's Great Filial Piety and the Complete Chapter"
When the big black characters appeared on the cardboard, all the candidates were in an uproar. Even Xu He did not expect Yang Yinqiu to ask such a question.
This question comes from "The Doctrine of the Mean". Many people here may not know where "Shun Qi Da Xiao Ye Yu" comes from, but it does not prevent them from reading the last two words - "Full Chapter", that is, the title of this question is one. Whole article.
You are asked to write down your thoughts after reading the entire article.
Everyone present went crazy.
Everyone is accustomed to writing in a short sentence or a few words, from point to point.
Suddenly a complicated article comes up as a test question, and there are too many factors to consider. Even if you know the source, you still have to memorize the full text, and finally you have to summarize its central idea before you can explain it. You can imagine this question How difficult it is!
Xu He had already heard low curses coming from around him.
"I wonder if you like to see these details about the ancient imperial examinations!
Although these contents are, they are basically based on research and are not written in vain! "
