Among them, the co-examiners are actually the examiners of each room, which is the first level of examination. This time, the co-examiners are all Beijing officials dispatched from various ministries by the imperial court and arrived in the provincial capital together with the chief examiner.
The promotion officer is the prefect of the provincial capital.
In short, these officials were at least Jinshi.
As for other officials such as reading officers, prosecutors, and supply officers, not only are their grades very low, but a few of them are from the same Jinshi background, and most are from Juren.
Therefore, they are not qualified to sit with the chief examiner and deputy examiner and talk about life. They can only stay where they should be and wait for the official start of the provincial examination.
As for the room behind the chief examiner and deputy examiner, there are more than ten Taoist officials wearing imperial robes of flying snakes and carrying evil-proof swords behind them in a circle. In the center of the circle is a The nine-story White Crane Pagoda made of white jade.
The Taoist officials lowered their eyes, but they never left the White Crane Nine-story Tower.
Although Fang Xiaoyue came early, other candidates were earlier, so he could only occupy two-thirds of the queue.
Fortunately, there are six entrances to the examination hall, so candidates can enter all the examination halls before the exam starts.
But just as a candidate was being inspected outside the gate, the nine-story White Crane Pagoda where the Taoist priests were sitting around in the examination room suddenly lit up.
The leading Taoist official was startled. When he took a closer look, he felt slightly relieved. He saw that the bottom floor of the nine-story White Crane Tower was lit up. The light was soft, with traces of red swimming in it.
"There is a little demon trying to sneak into the examination room and steal Wen Qi, Kong Ling, Kong Qing, you two quickly go to the gate and capture the demon, life or death!"
Then the two young Taoist officials responded, stood up, jumped onto the roof when they went out, and then like flying swallows, continued to fly towards the entrance of the examination hall.
But those county soldiers lurking on the roofs around the examination hall, armed with crossbows, turned a blind eye to the two young Taoist officials passing by, as if they were just sparrows playing on the roof.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue felt two auras that were different from ordinary people rushing out of the examination hall and rushing towards the gate.
This made him a little confused, what was going on?
Could it be that someone sneaked into the examination hall and was discovered and then escaped?
Just when Fang Xiaoyue was thinking about it, she saw a candidate who was being examined suddenly looked extremely flustered. Then he turned around and ran away without caring that he had already taken off his clothes and pants.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, even the government officials responsible for the inspection were unable to react.
"Bold monster! Don't run away! Die!"
As a loud shout came, two figures were seen flying out above the door, and two long swords slashed at the fleeing candidate with a subtle light of lightning.
Then the candidate let out a scream, and at the same time a black air emitted from his body. In an instant, he turned into a red fox with messy fur, and his escape speed suddenly increased by three minutes.
But the two figures seemed to have expected this. The moment the candidate turned into a fox and ran away quickly, two evil-proof swords came out of his hands and hit the fox's head and hind legs respectively.
But this fox is indeed a monster. Even if it is hit by the magic sword, it still runs away desperately. ….
But then the two Taoist priests made a magic formula, and they murmured a few words with slightly painful expressions. Then the two magic swords inserted into the fox exploded and tore the fox into pieces.
The scene in front of them suddenly caused chaos on the street.
Whether it was the ordinary people watching who were scared to death, or even the candidates queuing up and running away in panic.
The crown of hair is scattered, the expression is panic, and you want to jump into a dog hole, you push me and fight, it is simply sweeping the floor politely.
Ordinary people may not be able to see this scene once in their lifetime.
Whether it's a candidate turning into a fox or a group of normally aloof scholars, it is indeed extremely rare to be embarrassed and embarrassed at this time.
But even the two Taoist officials who killed demons without batting an eye were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene after cleaning up the fox's body.
Even the legs are weak.
Although they are subordinates of the Tao Supervisory Department directly under the imperial court, when it comes to monsters and Taoism, they can even kill them first and report them later.
But the scene in front of me can be regarded as disrupting the scientific examination.
If the assessment cannot be carried out in time, public opinion will be stirred up. Although they will not bear much responsibility, their future will be worrying.
After all, the civil servants in the imperial court looked down upon these Taoist officials.
Once the big bosses find out that something like this is caused by a group of Taoist officials, they will not understand the hard work of the Taoist officials hunting monsters, but will directly express their anger.
Fortunately, just when the situation was getting a little out of hand, the examiner had already arrived in front of the examination hall gate. He frowned at the chaotic scene in front of him, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Quiet! "
At this time, the government officials guarding the gate of the examination hall also shouted for silence. At the same time, several groups of county soldiers came out to drive away the idle people and clear the streets, suppressing the previous chaos.
Of course, any candidate who acted too embarrassingly and conspicuously in the previous chaos, or even peed on the spot, would be driven away directly by the examiner.
This is not surprising, if Fang Xiaoyue was the examiner, he would act the same way.
The most important thing now is the provincial examination. As long as the provincial examination goes smoothly, everything will be easy to say.
But if catching monsters affects the smooth progress of the provincial examination, then no matter how many monsters you catch, you will still have caught dozens of big monsters.
In the eyes of the imperial court, you, the examiner, are all unqualified.
Therefore, let alone driving away some candidates and suppressing the streets, even if a few people die as a result, it is a trivial matter to the examiner.
After clearing all this, the examiner only said: "Candidates continue to enter."
Afterwards, the examiner turned around and returned to the examination hall.
Fang Xiaoyue naturally didn't panic. He even saved two-thirds of the time in queuing because of the previous confusion.
No way, most of the candidates who had been waiting in line were so scared that they ran for their lives, so he entered the inspection phase without waiting in line for too long.
It should be said that during the previous examinations, some shady government officials would use this opportunity to humiliate the candidates.
After all, if these candidates are admitted to the Juren Examination, they will be the real masters in front of them. ….
In that case, not to mention humiliation, even if they see these masters, they will honestly call them such and such masters.
Therefore, this time is the last opportunity to humiliate the future master, and they will not let it go.
But after experiencing the incident of catching the monster, these government officials did not dare to mess around. If some candidates could not bear the humiliation and made the matter worse, some candidates would be unlucky in the end, but they would definitely not be able to escape.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyue was simply checked to see if there was anything in her clothes and packages, and then she was put in.
But then again, under normal circumstances, no one would bring cheat sheets.
The reason is very simple. The cheat sheet is only for fill-in-the-blank questions such as pasting scriptures and ink meanings.
And everyone is a scholar, and they know the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, but at least they can't make any mistakes in this aspect.
Under such circumstances, in the provincial examinations, the content of Tie Jing and Mo Yi was compressed to the extreme, and the real key questions were the test poems and the Four Books.
As for the two subjects of test poems and four calligraphy essays, it is impossible for you to prepare the contents of the cheat sheet in advance. Unless you have a good eye and bribe the examiner, and then get the questions of this provincial examination, you can prepare in advance.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, after the examiner arrived in the provincial capital, he did not leave the Academic Affairs Office for more than half a month. No matter how good the candidates were, it was impossible to get the provincial examination questions.
And even if you want to cheat in the examination hall, the difficulty is beyond normal people's imagination.
At this time, the examiner has not given the examination questions to the examiner.
Compared with the county examination, government examination, and college examination that test scholars, the provincial examination that tests candidates
Be more standardized.
The paper used for the exam is no longer completely blank, but all questions will be printed on the paper.
This process is carried out by the printing officer supervising the craftsmen, while the examiner supervises the printing officer.
In fact, after all the candidates had entered the examination hall, the examiner official took out a small wooden box that had been kept close to his chest and opened it in front of many officials.
This small wooden box is made of red sandalwood. On the outside are carved various deeds of the ancestors of the world, such as traveling around the countries with the seventy-two sages, the ancestors of the world visiting music, punishing Shaozhengmao, etc.
This object belongs to the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court, and its function is to seal the examination questions for the provincial examination.
The examination questions were drawn up by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and were put into the paper under the witness of the elders and the Minister of Rites, and then sealed by the Chief Eunuch, the Superintendent of Rites.
There is even a special Taoist effect on the seal. As long as someone opens the small wooden box, the Imperial Court Etiquette Department will receive an opening message.
In short, judging from these confidentiality steps, it is too difficult to know the content of the test questions in advance and practice favoritism.
Under the witness of all the officials, the examiner opened the seal, opened the small wooden box, and handed the examination questions contained inside to the examiner, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It has to be said that having this small wooden box on your body puts too much psychological pressure on the examiner.
I didn't dare to meet guests, didn't dare to drink, and even went to bed with a high concentration of energy.
The reason is nothing more than fear of leakage of test questions.
Before the test questions are handed over to the examiner, once the test questions are leaked, it must be the examiner's biggest responsibility, and he cannot escape. ….
But after handing over the test questions to the printer, his responsibility will be reduced by half. Then, as long as he supervises the printer and prevents the printed test papers from being stolen, everything will be fine.
In fact, the craftsmen who printed the test papers had settled in the examination center a month ago and were not allowed to contact outsiders.
And even after they finish printing the exam papers, they still have to wait until the exam is over before they can leave.
As a candidate, Fang Xiaoyue certainly didn't know this, but he didn't care about it either.
What he was concerned about was that the location of the small grid where he lived for the provincial examination was not very good and was too close to the outside.
Such small grids actually have some risks for candidates.
Because if it suddenly rains during the exam and the wind is strong, the raindrops may drift in and contaminate the test paper.
Those who have dirt on the test papers will be demoted directly in front of the same examiner. Even if the examiner has a sudden idea and wants to search for the leftovers, he can find a few suitable ones from the demoted test papers to replenish the quota. However, such examination papers will not be allowed to be searched.
In short, no matter what reasons you have, once there is dirt on the examination paper, ink, or if you have no taboos, make irresponsible remarks about the court, etc., you will not have a chance of being admitted.
This is not surprising. If it had been when Daze Kingdom had just established its dynasty, problems like the above would not have been a problem.
Because at that time, the new dynasty had just been established, and there were only a few talents in the world who were willing to serve the new dynasty. In addition, the great chaos had just ended, and the sparse population also led to the scarcity of talents, and the entire world that had just been assessed needed a large number of officials. Replenish.
Under such circumstances, let alone these minor problems, just scolding the founding emperor on the test paper, but as long as you are talented enough, you may be admitted.
But Daze Country has been at peace for hundreds of years, and its population continues to grow.
Up to now, there are 48 provinces in Daze Country, with a total population of 86.91 million.
Such a large population will naturally breed a huge number of talents.
And so many talents are pouring into the scientific examination track. You can imagine how fierce the competition in the scientific examination is.
As I said before, this time more than 3,000 talents will take part in the provincial examination, and no more than 60 will be admitted as candidates.
In other words, even if 60 candidates are admitted, the admission rate will only be a pitiful 2%!
Only two people among a hundred people can stand out and compete in the show
Only then did he become a judge.
Moreover, the scholar's writing skills are all very good. Among a hundred people, not all of them can write good articles, but at least ten of them can write good articles.
Under such circumstances, it is very likely that the examiner's favorite test paper will be far more than 60.
As a result, in order to facilitate themselves, the examiners will use various restrictions to reduce the number of examination papers and reduce the number of qualified examination papers as much as possible to facilitate admission.
Of course, even so, in the end, there will inevitably be more than 60 passing papers presented to the examiner.
Because according to the scientific examination regulations set by the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court, the four examiners each need to select at least 30 qualified examination papers according to the admission quota and submit them to the examiner.
The chief examiner and deputy examiner need to select more than 50 test papers from these 120 test papers and admit them as candidates.
In short, the provincial examination process is extremely cruel and fierce competition from beginning to end.
During the exam, any mistake may cause you to fail.
Fang Xiaoyue has already had three scientific examination experiences before, so she has experience now.
Seeing that his small grid was too close to the yard outside, he took out the prepared linen cloth and hung it on the window.
In this case, even if it rains, the raindrops will not fall in. .
