A provincial examination.
The gathering of important figures from the Holy Court, the Imperial Court, and Qingshan Academy caught everyone by surprise.
As the news spread, countless people secretly paid attention to this rural examination.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
In the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
There were more than 4,000 Huatianfu candidates taking the provincial examination. The seventh floor of the pavilion and the square near the river were all filled with candidates of this session.
There is one dragon guard every five meters to maintain the order of the examination center and monitor the candidates.
All candidates can be seen in all directions without blind spots.
Lin Yi came relatively late. According to the examination number on the popular documents, he took a seat near the river in Tengwang Pavilion Square.
A desk and a futon, this is the standard configuration for the literary test.
Lin Yi put down the box and cage, placed the Four Treasures of the Study on the desk, and quietly waited for the provincial examination to begin.
The literary test is not difficult.
To put it simply, it is to test the achievements of scholars who have studied hard for many years.
As long as your literary attainments are up to standard, it is not difficult to become a scholar.
Only after a scholar has passed the imperial examination can he be regarded as a scholar and have the qualifications to join the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy.
Whether it's getting promoted to a higher position in the imperial court, or pursuing the other side of literature and entering the Holy Academy, it's all in one thought.
But no matter what, becoming a Juren is the only way for ordinary people to completely turn over.
Once you fail to obtain merit, your upward path will be blocked, and you will never be able to change your class.
If you are a common people, you will always be a common people, and you will not enjoy the various benefits brought by the higher class at all.
That's why there is a saying that all things are inferior, only reading is superior.
"As long as you pass the provincial examination and have a good reputation, you can become an official in the imperial court!"
"When I have the capital to settle down, I can do something for Long San's family, Wei Wudi and other veterans, and the people of Dayan!"
Lin Yi said in a low voice: "So...the goal of this provincial examination is to pass the high school and meet Emperor Dayan!"
This is the only way he can cross the border.
…
"The Saint Master and the Dean of the Academy are looking at me... I'm so nervous!"
"Don't be sentimental, okay? Didn't you see the Holy Master looking at me? I became famous at a young age, the little prodigy of Mixiang Street in Dongcheng!"
"What a coincidence, I am the little prodigy from Chunjiang Street in Nancheng!"
"..."
Many candidates in the square found Zhong Zizheng, Fu Yuheng, Li Mobai and others in Prince Teng's Pavilion, looking down at them.
Everyone was trembling with excitement.
They seriously suspected that several big shots came just for them.
Otherwise why are you always staring at them.
…
In the attic.
Zhong Zizheng, Fu Yuheng, Yan Shuangwu and others looked at Lin Yi in the corner with a smile.
There is appreciation and expectation in the eyes...
The examiner Liu Yangming was a little confused. Why did these people care so much about Lin Yi?
It's okay for Yan Shuangwu and Zhao Tai to care, it might be His Majesty's will.
But it was outrageous that the Fifth Holy Son of the Holy Academy and Fu Yuheng, the dean of the Academy, came to see Lin Yi in the name of invigilating the exam.
What Lin Yi did in Nanxiang Mansion was almost against the scholars.
Your holy courtyard still appreciates it?
'It's just a provincial examination. There's no need to organize a group to watch my exam, right? Lin was both helpless and funny.
But now it is better to choose to ignore it, so as not to affect your performance.
at this time.
The voice of the examiner Liu Yangming, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, sounded: "The time has come, the first subject of the provincial examination: the literary test!"
"Start now!"
Dua
g!
The sound of gongs rang out in Prince Teng's Pavilion, and the candidates suddenly became quiet, and they all listened attentively.
The literary test questions are coming out!
I saw Long Wei carrying a tray covered with red silk onto Prince Teng's Pavilion and walked up to Liu Yangming.
Liu Yangming opened the red satin, picked up the sealed examination paper, looked around at all the candidates present, and said loudly: "Examination question: Prince Teng!"
“No restrictions on genres!”
"Poems, articles, songs, and poems are all acceptable. Achievements are measured by talent. The top three will have their answer sheets posted on a list for the people to circulate!"
Wow!
As soon as Liu Yangming finished speaking, all the candidates were in an uproar.
Some candidates were even shocked and their jaws dropped.
The test question turned out to be King Teng!
"Teng Wang" is written in "Teng Wang Pavilion". Is this a sub-question?
Originally, according to the normal provincial examination questions, questions similar to the test points would not be chosen.
Because the difficulty is too low.
After the test center is announced, many bachelor's students will do question guessing, that is, guess the test questions and prepare homework in advance.
Strive to become a blockbuster in the provincial examination.
"Hahaha, I guessed that the imperial court would choose Prince Teng Pavilion as the test site this time, and there would be a high probability that questions related to Prince Teng Pavilion would be tested. Fortunately... I have prepared my homework in advance!"
"I won the bet, I won the election, I'm going to win the election!"
"I also won the bet. I happened to buy a copy of The Legend of King Teng some time ago. I can write an article that will make King Teng cry, hahaha!"
Countless candidates couldn't help but cheered, and some even cried with joy.
After studying hard for ten years, he became famous all over the world!
They can finally turn over!
Become a reader!
Be a master!
No more being bullied by scholars!
"Prince Teng?"
Lin Yi didn't expect that the question asked was really Prince Teng.
He had told Zhang Jiu'er before that the test center would be at Prince Teng's Pavilion, and there was a high probability that Prince Teng would not be the test question.
Because this is equivalent to an open book exam.
Unexpectedly...he was slapped in the face by reality!
'wrong! '
Lin Yi thought about it again and suddenly felt that since the Hanlin Academy chose the question of Prince Teng, there must be certain considerations in it.
The simpler the test questions, the greater the competition.
It is even more difficult to get into the top three.
If what you write is to praise King Teng and praise the name of King Teng as a wise king, you may fall into the inferior category.
"The person who came up with the question is interesting..."
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Since it was this question, what could compare to Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng"?
Qiaoer's mother opened the door for Qiaoer, and Qiaoer arrived home!
'The top three will publish their answer sheets for circulation to the people...'
Lin Yi thought of what Liu Yangming said. He couldn't help but wonder, if Wang Bo's parallel prose "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng", which has been passed down through the ages, would be circulated and understood by others... would it also improve his talents?
After all, Li Wenbo's understanding of "The Upload of Zhouyi·Xici" made him gain a lot of talent.
It's just that "The Book of Changes" is a Confucian holy book, which can be regarded as the continuation of the unique teachings of the saints.
But "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" is not.
"Give it a try. It would be a wonderful thing if this parallel prose that has been passed down through the ages can be passed down in this world for thousands of years!"
Lin Yi smiled slightly and began to study ink. At the same time, he began to recall the parallel prose of this first poem in history...
He looked at the river scenery and mountains outside Prince Teng's Pavilion. Some places were highly overlapping, but the geography and characters... didn't match.
That said, some things need to change.
But Lin also thought that he had borrowed the sage's article after all, and it would be disrespectful to change it.
Unless he could change it better and pay tribute to the ancestors, but now... Lin Yi thinks he can't do it.
After finishing ink grinding.
Lin Yi dipped his pen into ink and began to write word by word on the answer sheet...
Wenbao is not allowed to be used in the provincial examination. Your talent depends entirely on the article itself.
Lin also believes that "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" ranks first in the literary examination!
