The college examination is a elimination system and is divided into two main examinations and an additional examination.
You can take the second exam only after passing the first exam. If you fail, you can start the repeat mode in advance and prepare for the next subject.
The weather today was very sunny and windy, and all the candidates breathed a sigh of relief. You know, the test shed has always been simple and simple, and the biggest fear is when it rains.
The area outside the examination room was still heavily guarded and ready.
Unlike the county examination and the government examination, this time officers and soldiers were specially mobilized to assist the government officials in maintaining order in the examination room, and at the same time, security work was strengthened.
Compared with Tong Kao, this scene was significantly improved in standard and more solemn.
Start entering the market.
For those who don't obey the schedule and arrangements, get out!
If anyone refuses to cooperate with the inspection or is chirping, throw him out!
In short, you must cooperate with the inspection unconditionally, otherwise, the consequences will be serious.
In terms of process, the college examination is roughly the same as the prefecture examination and the county examination, but it is more stringent.
First of all, check the floating tickets to verify your identity and prevent taking the test for others and cheating.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected scene occurred at this stage. Several old boys suffered the loss of being mute before they even entered the stage.
Among them, a man over sixty years old was immediately forked out because his hair had fallen out and was extremely inconsistent with the head of hair described on the ticket. Although the old student repeatedly explained that he was bald due to overexertion, but... the explanation was invalid!
There was another person who gained weight due to a lack of exercise during his studies, and was also kicked out. The reason was that it was seriously inconsistent with the skinny description.
Everyone was trembling. Among them, a few young boys with general-shaped belly hurriedly tightened their belts after hearing this, trying to hold out their chests and stomachs as much as possible.
Like standing in a military posture?
…
When he arrived at Qi Yu's place, the clerk looked at him for a while and then said: "Next time, remember to change your slender figure into a well-proportioned one."
sweat!
It seems that I have eaten a lot of first-grade champion chicken recently, and I have gained some weight.
No surprises, pass!
Then came the inspection phase.
The examination room of the college examination not only provides pen and ink but also provides food, so candidates do not need to bring their own pen and ink basket and food to the venue.
As for the inspection method, that is the favorite sentence of men all over the world - take it off for me!
There is no such thing as privacy these days. If it weren't for the pawnbroker, some well-capitalized candidates would be able to compete.
In short, any place where cheat sheets may be hidden is the focus of inspection, such as in the hair, in the ear holes, in the nostrils, in the mouth, between the toes, and even in the anus...
Check everything!
There are rumors from later generations that there was some female champion in ancient times. How could it be possible? Do you really think the perceptive inspector is a vegetarian?
…
Qi Yu put on his clothes, shoes and socks, and curtly rolled up his hair before entering the next level.
As usual, the next step is to close the guarantee and sing the guarantee.
Just like the government examination, the college examination still requires two junior students to act as guarantees at the same time, which naturally costs double money. Every time he reached this stage, Qi Yu felt like he was being blackmailed.
Niang Xipi, a few words are worth one tael of silver? This is easier than robbing!
If I get married one day, I will definitely make back the money I have wronged.
Boom!
A gong sounded.
The first main examination of the college examination has begun!
Curls!
Calm down and read the papers first.
The first part is Shiwen, titled "Stop the war with force".
This allusion comes from "Zuo Zhuan". It tells that the state of Chu defeated the state of Jin. Pan Dang, a senior official of the state of Chu, persuaded King Zhuang of Chu to pile up the corpses of the Jin people to form a skeleton platform to commemorate the tragedy. Deter the enemy.
King Zhuang did not agree, so he split the word "武" into "Zhi" and "Ge", and said that to defeat others with virtue without fighting, that is: to stop fighting and turn it into force.
After understanding the title, the central idea becomes clear, which is to convince people with virtue!
If you say that whoever has a stronger fist is the elder brother, or if you interpret it as prohibiting the forging of halberds, then you have misunderstood the meaning of the word "武" and are beside the point.
Fortunately, there are actually several annotations and analyzes on virtue and martial arts in "Dengke Collection".
This book is really a treasure trove of imperial examinations!
Haha~~bring it doctrine!
Drawing on the essence of the classics and meanings, and then adding your own writing style, it is basically written.
Poetry has always been my weakness, so I don’t pursue high praise, as long as I can pass it.
Continuing with the examination, the next topic is policy theory, titled "If the king violently controls Qin, it will be used for our dynasty".
Looking back at history first, Wang Meng was a capable minister. When he was the prime minister of the former Qin Dynasty, he was very daring to change and pursue breakthroughs. Politically, he resisted the powerful and purged officials; militarily, he enforced strict military discipline and oversaw the military affairs of the six states in Guandong; and economically, he encouraged farmers to teach mulberry farming and vigorously improved farming. This person can be said to have made outstanding achievements and is known as "the first person to surpass Zhuge".
It can be seen that Wang Meng is an all-round super talent, and his philosophy also has very distinctive characteristics, that is, he dares to criticize the current shortcomings and pursues innovation boldly.
It is not difficult to say that Wang Meng governed Qin, but the difficulty lies in the five words "if it is applied to our dynasty".
What does it mean to criticize current shortcomings and pursue innovation? Veto the current national policy?
I feel scared just thinking about it!
Of course, there is another way of thinking, which is to avoid the important and take the light out of context. He talked a lot about encouraging farmers to grow mulberry trees and improving farming, but did not mention a word about political and military matters, thus cleverly avoiding criticism.
However, this is more dangerous. If you don't do it well, you will suffer the consequences of being smart!
This question...is no ordinary pitfall!
No matter how knowledgeable you are, if you don't answer the questions 'appropriately', you will be doomed.
Who knows what the examiner’s point of view is?
Who else could it be, naturally it would be Qi Yu.
Qi Yu suppressed his excitement and listed relevant arguments and arguments on the draft paper.
Unknowingly, sweat quietly seeped out from his forehead, and he hurriedly wiped it off.
If even one drop falls, it is a dirty roll.
In the afternoon, Qi Yu finally finished the answer sheet, and then checked it carefully again. If it was correct, he rang the bell and handed in the answer sheet.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. The residual heat of the summer heat is still there, and the breath in Gongtong has begun to float out.
The action of the yamen servant was very clean and neat, and the verification and sealing were completed very quickly and in one go.
"you can go now!"
"Farewell!...Oh, no, see you next time."
Outside the examination room, the expressions of all the candidates were worried about gains and losses, and no one was relaxed.
The most common sentence I hear is: This decision is really too difficult...
Yin Jun is also like an eggplant beaten by frost - limp and droopy.
Seeing Qi Yu's relaxed expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Let me ask, how did you choose your arguments?"
"Of course, I encourage farmers more and avoid current affairs." Qi Yu forced out a smile that was hard to see through and said.
Yin Jun nodded, then shook his head, lost in thought.
"I said, your sister!"
"What my sister, huh!"
Yin Jun glared and left angrily.
"Bah! Look at your bad behavior!"
Qi Yu didn't stay any longer and quickly returned to his apartment to read some books.
…
One day later, the results of the main examination will be released.
Early that morning, the candidates rushed to the government office to check the status of the results.
When Qi Yu arrived, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Below the list was a scene of mourning, with most people crying and only a few laughing. There was also an elderly boy who passed away due to excessive grief. Fortunately, he was discovered in time and transferred to a hospital.
Doctors have long been accustomed to this. Every time there is an imperial examination, they will prepare some more soothing and refreshing medicine. If you don't faint a few after one exam, it seems that it is not a normal hospital examination.
It can also be seen from this that the destructive power of Wang Meng's rule of Qin was huge. With this knife, more than half of the people in the residence were directly reduced.
Qi Yu is different. This ranking is his best ranking since the imperial examination, ranking fourth.
Qi Jing is still in the middle of the pack, steadily looking like a strange flower.
Looking at Yin Jun, he was ranked after thirty, which was also his worst performance in history.
This creates a contrast.
The superior patted the subordinate's forehead gently, as if to say: Xiaojun, don't cry!
Yin Jun was disgusted and spat, almost slurping his lips and said: "Be more serious! In the evening, I will wait for you outside the east gate of the city. I can tell you something."
After saying these words, he left quickly.
Meet?
Or a date between men?
It's scary to think about it.
Qi Yu shivered and felt a little cold.
Should I go or not?
…
On the top of the willow tree in the moonlight, people meet at dusk.
There are still willows outside the city gate to the east. The evening breeze blows gently, driving away a few birds that return late, leaving a quiet and hazy place.
The winding bluestone path is deep and long, and the shadows are blurry at night.
Qi Yu and Yin Jun were walking along the path like best friends.
While chatting, Yin Jun suddenly sighed: "Since I was released from prison, I feel a little timid in writing, and my courage has become much smaller. I don't dare to use my strength in this policy."
"Ahem! You asked me out just to complain?" Qi Yu said displeased.
"Of course not!" Yin Jun's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked: "I see that you look confident. Did you learn any inside information before the exam?"
"Why do you say that?" Qi Yu was startled.
"I know your literary talent very well. Although it's not bad, you can't suppress me every time, unless you have some tricks."
Quite smart!
But I still can’t tell you.
"Where there is a will, there is a way. I am ambitious, calm and confident, so I often perform well." Qi Yu puffed out his chest and said.
Only a ghost can believe it!
"If you can tell me the secret, I promise you that I will never look for Liu Quan again from now on." When it comes to the future, Yin Jun made a condition.
? ?
What bullshit!
Qi Yu immediately became angry: "What? If I don't tell you, will you continue to miss my wife? Your sister!!"
boom!
After that, he hit him with an old fist.
"pain!"
Yin Jun was in pain, squatting on the ground holding his stomach, and said angrily: "You are a mountain villager, how dare you sneak attack on me!"
"Village man? If you say one more thing, I will let you have a taste of monkey picking peaches!" Qi Yu smiled triumphantly, clenched his hands into fists, and raised his nostrils to the sky.
"Slow down! A gentleman talks but never moves!" Yin Jun gritted his teeth and straightened up, suddenly saying: "Look, who is that?"
Qi Yu turned around to look, oh, no one was there!
Looking back, he saw Yin Jun running away in a hurry.
However, after he ran to a safe distance, he turned around and said harshly: "Just wait and see how I can suppress you in the examination room!"
