Chapter 233 Imperial Examination
Since the news of Wuzhou's public imperial examinations, not only Wuzhou scholars cheered and rushed to the capital to take the exam.
Even in the adjacent Jingzhou and Xuzhou, there were scholars from all over the world. Among them, there were both young children and elderly people, all of whom were excited and expressed in words.
This imperial examination really contains the expectations of too many scholars in the world who have no way to make progress!
Many scholars who went to the exam met on the road, or met someone, greeted each other, but they didn't know each other, and nodded and showed good education. However, inadvertently, the heavy feeling in their eyes deepened. This seemed even more solemn in places where scholars gathered, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
Jianye has a large population and a strong literary style. There are also great scholars gathered here and teach the teachings. Therefore, the most scholars are the most, and the tense atmosphere is the most.
In the middle of December, Jianye's restaurants and inns were full. Later, the scholars had no choice but to stay in the woodshed.
Under the expectation, on December 15th, the palace examination officially began. Yang Yun was wearing green clothes and saw that he was full of scholars who came to take the exam, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous in his heart.
At this moment, looking around, there were more than a thousand scholars taking the exam, all gathered in front of the official gate, and were covered in darkness, shoulder to shoulder, a little dull.
Yang Yun was extremely physically strong, so he was naturally fine. However, the servant carrying a pen, ink, paper and inkstone was like he was about to faint from being squeezed, and it looked a little funny.
Yang Yun took the basket from the servant's hand and said, "Afu! You go back first! What else can you do before you arrive at the government office?"
The servant named Afu wiped his sweat. Half-in-charged and half-snatched the bamboo basket from Yang Yun, "The master told me that the youngest must send Mr. Yun to the examination room. If there is any mistake in the middle, the youngest will ask! Mr. Yun should give me pity on the younger one..."
"Okay, okay! I will follow you!" Looking at the servant's expression, Yang Yun laughed loudly, and suddenly felt that the tension in his heart had disappeared.
The laughter spread far and immediately attracted attention. Seeing that Yang Yun was still serving the servant, he was obviously a child of the noble family, and he looked at him with many strange eyes.
Although it was well concealed, Yang Yun could still tell it keenly. This look was inferior and contempt, just like the look he had before when he looked at the legitimate son of aristocratic family.
After a glance, Yang Yun saw that most of the scholars who came were wearing zither clothes. They washed but turned white. Some had patches, and very few were wearing blue clothes like themselves.
I know that the children of aristocratic families regard the examination with common people as a great humiliation. They have channels for themselves, and they also have officials to do so. Therefore, except for a few small families and some children from a sidelines, they do not come to take the examination.
"I didn't expect that it was my wealth. I'm a better person here..." Yang Yun smiled bitterly, and then felt excited again. He naturally knew that compared with the legitimate sons of aristocratic families who had hired famous teachers since childhood, although there must be many scholars from poor farmers from poor families, there are very few people, and compared with them, he is considered to be inferior and more than the lower ones, which has an advantage!
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
With three loud noises, the door of the government office opened wide, and two rows of yamen runners came out, surrounded by several people dressed in officials.
Seeing this, the scholars couldn't help but rush forward, and the crowds were surging, and even Yang Yun couldn't help but move forward several steps.
"Silent! Anyone who violates discipline will be disqualified from the imperial examination!"
Seeing that the crowd was a little noisy, the leading official frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
The scholars came from thousands of miles away, but weren’t they still serving as officials for the imperial examination? When they saw the chief examiner come out, they used their trump card to shut their mouths, and the scene suddenly became silent.
Seeing this, the official nodded with satisfaction and said, "This government examination was granted by the Duke of Wu and held in various government offices. This is grace! Please be careful and remember it, don't violate the rules..."
The civil servants all came down to talk about some precautions, and Yang Yun listened carefully.
After the rules were introduced, the official said: "The exam only takes one day. When you wait for the candidates, you will go up and register your name and place of origin. After you find out that you are behind you, you can get your license plate and enter the examination room. Remember not to make noise!"
"Now, as long as you have talent and knowledge, you can go up and sign up!"
After the official finished speaking, he turned sideways and showed the passage behind him, with copywriting placed beside him, and more than a dozen clerks were waiting.
The crowd was in a stir. Looking at the promotion level, many scholars did not dare to move first, although they looked eager.
After a while, a scholar wearing mai clothes came forward to try it.
"Well! Write your name, age, household registration here, and then verify the documents and you can go in!" the clerk said expressionlessly.
The scholar acted according to his words and handed over another document. After reading it, the clerk took out a license plate and handed it to the scholar: "The number one in Tianzi, take the seat according to the license plate, go!"
Unexpectedly, the scholar was a little stunned, then woke up, bowed, held the license plate tightly in his hand, and walked towards the government office.
Seeing that the scholar passed the test successfully, the crowds were rushing towards the civil servants.
The crowd was in agitation and the scene was a little out of control. Seeing this, the civil servant in charge was calm. Yang Yun knew something was different and quickly paid attention to the movements on both sides.
At this time, a group of soldiers wearing iron armor rushed out of the government office, with long swords unsheathed, and looked at these soldiers!
How could these soldiers raise the iron-blooded murderous aura that was raised by bloody battles in succession? The crowd suddenly encountered a reef and was firmly blocked.
"Don't panic when you come in the formation. This official will supervise you. Violators will not only abolish the examination qualifications, but will also be punished!"
Seeing that the group of scholars were intimidated, the civil servant spoke out.
"I'll know!" The scholar calmed down and finally moved forward in the queue and received the license plate to enter the market. The scene was not only in order, but also in order.
Yang Yun dismissed the servant and went to queue up. It was soon the turn.
"Write your name, origin, and present a documentary certificate!" the clerk said without raising his eyes.
Originally, these could be written by civil servants, but if the person taking the exam was written by themselves, it was a test. After all, the imperial examinations cannot allow rough people who can't even write syllables to enter the venue, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke!
Yang Yun naturally understood this principle. He smiled slightly and wrote it as soon as he picked up the pen. The font was elegant and handsome, which seemed to have worked hard!
He read that his energy was exhausted, and he put a lot of effort into it. The font was imitated by everyone in the previous dynasty. It was elegant and with rules, and the arrangement was neat and tidy, so he felt comfortable at first glance.
The civil servant's somewhat careless face changed suddenly. When he saw the document again, he bowed and said, "It turns out it is Mr. Yang. This is the license plate. Please keep it!"
Without mentioning Cheng Xun's identity and face, just by Yang Yun's good hand, the civil servant knew that this person was really talented and learned. He had a lot of hope this time. He was just a mere civil servant, so how could he be rude and polite?
"Thank you!" Yang Yun took the license plate and saw that it was a red wood piece with the words "Di No. 35" written on it, which was obviously his position.
Just as I was about to enter, I heard a angrily shout from the next door: "I can't even write my name, and I dare to come to participate in the imperial examination. Could it be that I really think that the king's law is as if nothing?"
Yang Yun turned around and saw a clerk drinking. The scholar opposite him was pale and slumped on the ground.
"There is such a fool! You dare to violate the laws of the Duke of the People's Republic of China!" Yang Yun shook his head and saw two soldiers like wolves and tigers coming up. He dragged him away regardless of the scholar's cry and begging. He felt a trembling heart, knowing that this person's fate would definitely not be very good.
Screaming away, Yang Yun gathered his mind and stepped into the government office.
There were soldiers patrolling all the way. When we arrived at the middle, we saw several halls in the middle empty, filled with desks, and there were also pens, ink, paper, and inkstones on them.
At the outermost side of the hall, the words "Heaven" and "Earth" are also written, which are paired with the license plate, which is simple and clear.
Yang Yun walked to the hall with the "di" size, looked for the license plate and found his seat. After sitting down, he had the intention to look around.
I saw that in addition to pens and ink, there were also numbers written on the table, which corresponded to the number plate.
"Fortunately, I'm a local test room. If I get outside, it will be really miserable..."
Yang Yun was still scared when he thought about what he saw just now.
There are still some seats in the square outside the several halls, but the treatment is not as good as the hall. Just a curtain is used to enclose the compartment and put some rain-covering candles on it, which is the examination hall.
"It seems that the examination room is sorted by the heaven and earth and the vast universe. Among them, scholars who came early can go to the examination room of the heaven and earth and the mysterious and vast universe, which is covered by eaves. However, those who are behind are only able to go to the examination room of the heaven and earth and the vast and vast universe. Not only is the wind and sun, but if there is rain and water, what's the use of merely blocking the canopy?"
As the candidates took their seats one after another, the civil servants inspected the examination room and saw the candidates sitting in the house smiling happily. The candidates sitting in the square felt like they were losing their parents, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In Fang Ming's previous life, the imperial examination houses had to be built with huge amounts of money, and often took several generations to be perfected. Once destroyed by war or disrepaired for a long time, they had to be repaired with huge manpower and material resources.
Song Yu gave very little time this time, so he didn't have time to build the examination house and was not allowed in financial resources, so he was the scene of borrowing the government office.
"I'm lucky that the exam has only been one day, and it's sunny again, so I think it's enough!" After the civil servant smiled bitterly, he looked at the sky and felt a little lucky.
"Chen time has arrived, close the door!"
Seeing that the time had come, the invigilator issued an order, and the government office gate was slowly closed. Any candidate who came late would be turned away.
"During the examination, you must not whisper or take the exam. There will be invigilators inspecting the examination room from time to time. Once you find that it is illegal, not only will you cross out of the examination room and be banned for the exam for life, but you must also be punished for the crime of having a minister. You should respect yourself!"
The invigilator had a terrible face and read the discipline. The candidates all stood up and saluted: "Students can't help! I will not dare to disobey!"
"Okay! Candidates will sit! Distribute the test questions!" The invigilator nodded and ordered.
Many civil servants came out with white papers in their hands and distributed them to the hands of candidates.
Chapter completed!
