The carriage reached a few streets away from Gongyuan and could no longer walk.
Ding Ze and others who were following behind stepped forward and lifted the test basket off the carriage, and then helped Xu He and others get out of the carriage.
As soon as he got out of the car, Xu He saw a scene he had never seen before in his life.
I remember the last time I saw such a crowded scene was when I was watching the sunrise on Mount Tai in my previous life.
What does it mean to be overwhelmed, what does it mean to sweat profusely, what does it mean to be overwhelmed, this is it.
The crowd complained, and curses were heard from time to time.
The Xie family's carriage, together with the carriages of other mansions, became the target of attacks by the scholars.
Just when Xu He and the others were unable to move forward.
The crowd in the distance suddenly became restless.
Well-dressed scholars surged like a tide, and the crowd became even more crowded.
Xie Liangcai frowned and said, "What's going on?"
At this moment, there were shouts of curses and expulsion from the front.
Sure enough, after a while, the flow of people was squeezed out of a passage by the guards who maintained order.
The carriages were diverted to various streets and alleys, and the roads gradually became wider.
At this moment, Xu He saw Xue Yongzhi riding on a horse, sweating.
Xue Yongzhi happened to see Xu He and others at this time.
He leaned over and said something to the people around him, and then the sergeant beside him squeezed towards Xu He and others.
Along the way, I saw some ignorant soldiers blocking the road, so I immediately raised my whip.
This group of weak scholars were so frightened that they dared not speak out in anger, so they had no choice but to hide out of the way.
The sergeant came to Xu He and others and said: "Sir, the commander ordered me to escort you to Gongyuan."
The sound was not loud, but everyone around heard it.
The way they looked at Xu He and the others suddenly changed.
Whose son is this? Why are these vicious soldiers so polite to them?
Xu He was about to refuse when he was doing something special in public, but Gao Bi, a member of the crowd not far away, raised his hands and shouted: "Sound loud, loud, we are here."
It turned out that the large army of Yangzhou Fuxue was not far away from them.
Seeing this, Xu He said to the soldier: "Master, please help us bring our friends from the government school."
The soldier didn't say anything, and directly led his men to line up the crowd and lure Gao Bi and the others over.
At this time, the students from Yangzhou Prefecture were squeezed by the crowd, their hairs were in disarray, and their handsome Lan shirts were also squeezed into wrinkles.
"Bright sound!"
"Brother Dev!"
"Ke Yong..."
Xu He said: "Everyone, follow this military master. Let's go together. There are too many people, so don't get separated."
When the guardsmen saw that everyone had arrived, they quickly pushed forward with Xu He and others.
Xu He originally wanted to say hello to Xue Yongzhi.
Unexpectedly, he was so busy that he didn't know where he went.
In this way, Xu He and other people from Yangzhou Fuxue took the green channel and walked to Gongyuan without any obstruction.
This made the scholars on both sides extremely envious.
The students in the government also sighed: "Thankfully Liangsheng is here, otherwise I don't know when I would be able to squeeze into the Gongyuan."
It turns out that Gongyuan issues number plates in order, and the number plates in front are those with better locations.
Because Haozhi is on the top of a slope, you have to face the sun directly, which will make you dizzy and swollen for a long time.
Either it was in the shade, with only a ray of light from the alleyway, and those with poor eyesight could not see clearly what was in the dormitory, let alone write.
Just when everyone rushed to the gate of Gongyuan, this year's provincial examination had already begun.
Starting from the Song Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Examinations began, and all roads, prefectures, and military schools were limited to August.
The ceremonial examinations for scholars are all in February, and the imperial examinations are in October.
The Wei Dynasty followed the practices of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
In later generations, Xu He read about the rural examination method in books, but most of the historical records are unclear.
There are no detailed descriptions in various notes.
So he is still looking forward to participating in this rare rural examination experience.
Because all the patrols outside the curtain were handed over to the Longhu Guards.
Therefore, Xu He and other scholars from Yangzhou Prefecture came to the gate of Gongyuan without any hindrance.
At this time, the Gongyuan was also crowded.
But it's much more orderly here than on the road.
Everyone took their float tickets and lined up in a long queue of more than a dozen people.
The officials first called everyone according to the floating tickets in their hands, and then released them according to their birthplaces.
After Xu He entered the Gongyuan, he arrived at the inspection area.
As soon as he entered the gate of Gongyuan, Xu He saw Deng Qing, the censor of Henan Province who had been saying that he would be arrested yesterday to avoid suspicion.
At this time, he was followed by about a dozen officials, who were monitoring the prosecutor's inspection of the scholars.
When Xu He saw him, he had a clear conscience, so he naturally looked at him without squinting and accepted the inspection in an upright manner.
The examination of the provincial examination is on the same level as that of the general examination, and it is by no means comparable to the examination for children.
Except for the short nose shorts, everyone is clean and smooth. Fortunately, we are all men, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
When it was Xu He's turn, Deng Qing also discovered him.
However, the expression on his face remained unchanged. After looking at Xu He for a while, he turned away.
At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion in front of Xu He.
It turned out that a sergeant who was searched discovered that he had hidden something in the valley road.
When Deng Qing and the prosecutor on the scene heard this, they immediately stood up and took the examinee out.
The people around him all trembled when they saw this.
Xu He knew that the candidate in front was finished.
If it is an ordinary entrainment and is found out, it is estimated that he will be exiled after being beaten with a stick. If someone in the family pays some money to smooth things over, maybe he can continue the imperial examination as long as he stops taking the exam for three years.
But the man in front of me was in a terrible situation.
If you dare to hide the saint's words in such a dirty place, isn't this blasphemy against the saint?
In this case, it has always been reported to the Grand Master directly after the exam, and the title of student member is revoked, and then the shackles are paraded in public, and the rod is punished by banishing the mist. It is useless for the King of Heaven to appeal.
However, many scholars still saw the difference in this subject's provincial examination.
The search is very careful, and sometimes the searchers in places like Valley Road don't want to do such disgusting things.
So some people want to try their luck.
But this time in the provincial examination, no matter who you are or what your background is, the sergeants took the trouble to conduct a finger-examination on these scholars, and no one was missed!
Sometimes, these times are really weird.
Everything can be changed randomly.
But there are some things that we insist on from top to bottom and are not allowed to go beyond the limits.
This may be the value of this era.
After Xu He passed the inspection, he got dressed, holding the test basket in one hand and his number plate in the other.
The Gongyuan Hall is named according to the sub-sequence of "The Thousand-Character Classic", "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and wild".
The number plate in Xu He's hand read, Zhou No. 33.
Just when Xu He thought he was going to find his house. Suddenly a shrine appeared in front. All the students knelt on the ground as they passed by, shouting: "Revenge if you have a grudge, take revenge if you have a grudge!"
Xu He was dumbfounded.
Gongyuan is a place of cultural prosperity. You should also kneel to Confucius. Why is the shrine in front of you dressed as a military general...
Xu He suddenly discovered that just above the shrine was written "Test God Zhang Fei".
this……
When did Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" become a test god?
But then I thought about it, Zhang Fei in history was not a rough and violent warrior who frequently killed people and set fires.
His calligraphy is very skillful and vigorous.
The ones handed down from generation to generation include the "Inscription on Swords and Inscriptions", "Engraved Stones for Recording Merits and Inscriptions", and the "Stele of Immediate Inscriptions on Horses" in Pingdushan, Xichuan, etc.
With such ability, he might not be disqualified from being a test taker.
Before the God test, a red flag was raised high and a letter was written with six characters: "The souls of grievances and ghosts will come."
Just when he couldn't figure out why the exam meant to summon ghosts.
Xie Liangcai's voice rang next to him.
"This is to invite the ghosts of grievances to look at the scholars who come in. There are grievances and grievances. Before the results are released, the grievances are wiped out to prevent the enemies from being promoted. The hall is hot and hot, and the grievance ghosts dare not come to the door, so that there are grievances. There’s nowhere to apply!”
"So that's what happened!" Xu He suddenly realized.
Can you still play like this? Learned, learned!
