Is it a weightlift?

Everyone present asked themselves in their hearts.

Of course, it's not heavy, everyone will say this on the face, but there are a few people who don't think so in their hearts.

Everyone thought that Lin Yanchao wanted to deny this statement, but they saw him smile and said: "This government thinks that of course it is important, otherwise what am I waiting for?" ”

Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, all the readers laughed.

"If it is a light imperial examination, then why should this government be here to open the door for the imperial court?"

Hearing this, the readers below all laughed.

Seeing everyone laughing, Lin Yanchao said solemnly: "Yes, the imperial examination is heavy, but is it heavier than the imperial examination?" When he was a young student in this house, his teacher once warned him that 'doing business does not hinder merit, but it will win his ambition'. ”

All the people who read this are contemplative.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the will? It is not ashamed to draw on fame, but it is shameful to win fame. ”

Mencius said that the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the mighty cannot be bent, and the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, which is a truth that everyone who reads the book knows. But Lin Yanchao said that on weekdays, we can pursue wealth, fear might, and dislike poverty.

But there must be more important ambitions in the bottom of my heart, which cannot be taken away. Just as we are keen on fame, but we should not change our ambition for fame.

Many of the readers present knew that this was also the idea of the study of merit.

Lin Yanchao was deeply appreciated by the Son of Heaven at the beginning, and he was a Japanese lecturer with a bright future, but because of the matter of returning to the Son of Heaven in the matter of returning to the Son of Heaven, he was demoted to the place.

Wealth and wealth, everyone will say abandon it, but doing it is another matter.

Therefore, all the scholars admire Lin Yanchao very much, he has truly achieved the 'combination of learning and Taoism', only by learning and Taoism, can we apply what we have learned, which is the foundation of forestry learning.

Therefore, after listening to Lin Yanchao's words, all the scholars couldn't help but realize that this is the study of merit, and there is no profound truth in it, but it is so appropriate, not to mention the people who are present, even illiterate people can do it.

At this time, a student below asked, "Dare to ask Futai, what is Zhi?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Good question, the imperial court has a law, and you can't hide the funeral for three years and take the imperial examination." This filial piety is the will, which of the following candidates came to participate in the imperial examination before the system was completed, this is the disagreement with the will and the law. ”

"Here, the ugly words of this government are ahead, and those who violate this to participate in the imperial examination, regardless of whether they are lucky or not, will be severely punished by this government."

All the readers were pale, and there was fear in their hearts.

Below, Lin Yanchao emphasized the rules of this government examination, in addition to concealing the mourning period, it is also forbidden to carry the exam, impersonation, buy cheating, and so on.

The impostor will pursue the Confucian children who sit in the joint insurance, and remove the fame of the Bao Sheng.

After saying this, the Confucian children below were all worried from the bottom of their hearts. After that, Lin Yanchao asked the Confucian children to enter the government office and let the students as a guarantor, and received the examination tickets.

Lin Yanchao entered the lobby and sat down for a while, and Professor Fuxue Zeng led eight Confucian children to see Lin Yanchao.

There are eight counties and one prefecture, six prefectures and two prefectures, so it is eight counties. These eight Confucian children are all the heads of the county examinations, and they are the first among the first places personally selected by several county magistrates.

According to the unwritten rules of the scientific examination, these Confucian children are equivalent to those who are escorted by several magistrates, and they must pass the government examination.

Lin Yanchao asked a few words about their articles, and with his name and status at this time, he said a few words at will, which made these Confucian children who were about to become Lin Yanchao's protégés extremely frightened.

Seeing that they were nervous, Lin Yanchao patiently taught them a few words of the truth that diligence should be the first thing in reading and respect should be taken as the heart in learning.

After that, the county teachers presented a list of county seats, and these people were all in the top ten of the county examination.

According to the rules, there are more than 1,000 papers in the government examination, and it is difficult for the prefect to read them one by one.

Therefore, during the government examination, the prefect generally invited someone who was proficient in writing and ink to read the paper on his behalf.

However, as the chief examiner of the prefectural examination, the top ten in the county, and the paper at the head of the county, it is best to take a look. These people have excellent results in the county examination, and the top few in the government examination, the top ten are likely to be on them.

And then take a comprehensive look at the volumes recommended by his subordinates, so that it is already very responsible. This is similar to the exam, with the examiner to decide to stay, and the examiner to set the ranking.

Of course, there are also those who shake their hands and don't read a copy of it, and leave it all to the people below to read the text.

After being busy for a long time, the Confucian children all received the examination tickets and left, and at this time, the students who came to protect the Confucian children came to see.

These people are all studying in schools on weekdays, and there are about dozens of people among the top students in their respective prefectures and counties.

For these students, Lin Yanchao must treat each other well, and if he can become a student, he can not only receive rice and give a guarantee to Confucian children, but also

You can directly enter the township examination without going through the scientific examination.

It can be said that these people have the right to speak in the local Shilin.

Lin Yanchao said a few words to each of the students. During the chat, Lin Yanchao noticed that several students had different expressions. This reminded Lin Yanchao of the previous Ma Tong judgment reminding himself that there were people who would be detrimental to his 'government to suspend the sale of land deeds'.

After the resignation of the child, Lin Yanchao immediately called Chen Jichuan and Zhanming, and asked them to loosen the outside and tighten the inside on the day of the government examination, and send more people to prevent anyone from making trouble.

After the two received the order, they secretly sent additional personnel to investigate and covertly visit.

Three days later, the government examination will be held.

The examination room is located in the Fuxue Palace, which is also the place where the Fuxue has been held in Guide for a long time.

Guide has always been very poor, and the school will inevitably fall into disrepair. Although it was temporarily repaired before the government test, it was generally not much improved.

The thorn walls are low, and there are even places that have collapsed, and can only be temporarily repaired with wooden planks and broken bricks.

As for the test house, most of them are crooked, and it is difficult to shelter from the wind and rain.

However, fortunately, the government exam is a daytime exam, and the weather in May is not bad, otherwise it will be changed for three days and two nights, and it will be the exam in February, and this candidate will have to hang up at least half of it after the exam.

However, such an exam will inevitably make it difficult for people to take the exam seriously.

In particular, the previous county examination was very noble and noble in the national imperial examination, but the standards were different, and some places were strictly enforced, while others were not strict in the examination and discipline.

In the county examination in several places in Guide Prefecture, it is not uncommon for candidates to even chat with each other in the examination room, and even there are several copies of the same paper in the examination room, and it is not uncommon for the examiner to take one of them.

After the candidates entered the venue, the sky was already bright, Lin Yanchao, Professor Zeng, Shangqiu Zhixian, and all the state and county officials worshiped the saint together, and then Lin Yanchao announced the start of the government examination.

The government exam is open, but Professor Zeng and Shangqiu Zhixian are all at a loss, where are Lin Yanchao's exam questions?

But seeing that Lin Yanchao was silent, he ordered someone to put the four books and five classics on the table, and then picked up a book at random and asked Professor Zeng and Shangqiu Zhixian to each say a number.

Then Lin Yanchao turned the numbers of the two into the number of pages, and the other into the number of lines, and picked a sentence in the book as an exam question, and wrote it directly on the water card.

Seeing Lin Yanchao's method, both of them couldn't help but fall down, thinking that there was still such an operation.

In order to prevent candidates from cheating, Lin Yanchao actually did this part, so as to show the public and put an end to all requests and fraud.

After writing, Lin Yanchao said: "All the recorded papers of this government examination will be posted on the wall of the school palace, and any candidate can raise any objections to the papers taken by the government!" ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them gasped, which is tantamount to letting the public supervise.

But everyone has the length of their own comments, and whoever has the confidence to give everyone a comment on the volume, which will give rise to countless controversies.

Therefore, there has never been a reason for the examiner to evaluate the scholar's paper at will.

Only Lin Yanchao can, he has this confidence, in Guide Mansion, or in Henan, no one dares to question the level of Wenzong's ruling on the article today, and even say half a sentence more, others are 'Hehe, you dare to question Lin Sanyuan, Nima Gui'.

Therefore, even if the arrogant children are, they don't dare to criticize half a sentence, otherwise they will be drowned by the spitting stars around them.

And others can only praise Lin Yanchao's move to be impartial and not favoritism.

It's just that there are thousands of volumes, how can Lin Yanchao read them one by one?

However, Professor Zeng and Shangqiu Zhixian both admired Lin Yanchao and said: "Futai's move can be a model for the government test in the future." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "I don't want to be famous, please ask the two of you and the scholars not to speak for Lin in this matter." ”

Everyone bowed down and said yes.

So the official raised the water sign and went down, and the candidates immediately copied the exam questions.

There are not many questions in the government exam, two questions of four books, and one question of the Five Classics of your choice.

When the scholars read the question, they immediately copied it on the question paper, and began to meditate and think hard.

The official start of the examination in Guide Mansion, the scholars were busy doing the questions, and at this moment, in one or two places where the guards were not strict and the corners of the walls were broken, some Confucian children copied the test questions, and then quietly threw them out of the wall.

Soon a man outside the wall picked up the test questions from the ground and hurried away.

The three questions in the government exam are not difficult for many people.

In less than half a day's effort, many Confucian children finished writing the paper and went to the hall to hand in the paper with Lin Yanchao. Why do you have to submit your papers in advance, this is a common number of ways for candidates.

Because of the serious writing of the article and the specified time to submit the paper, the examiner does not necessarily have the time to read it, and generally the people below are satisfied with it first, and then hand it over to the examiner.

Rather than that, it's better to show it to the examiner first.

can personally get Lin Yanchao's guidance, even if he fails the government test this time, it will be a shame to spread it.

At that moment, several Confucian children were in a hurry to hand in the papers before noon.

"I beg the government to try."

After handing in the papers, the Confucian children said this.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Everything this government wants to ask is in your article. ”

At the moment, Lin Yanchao was reading the papers, he was reading the papers at a glance and ten lines, holding the red pen in his hand, and correcting the papers while reading.

After a while, the volume was finished, and the Confucian boy who was holding the volume saw that Lin Yanchao had changed his article so quickly, and he couldn't help but wonder if the other party had read it seriously.

But I saw that not only comments were written on the paper, but even typos and incomprehensible places were corrected one by one.

Lin Yanchao said gently: "I still owe the arts and sciences, take the paper and go back to figure it out, and come back next year!" ”

The Confucian boy had nothing to say, and tears flowed out on the spot, but he bowed respectfully to Lin Yanchao, and then walked towards the dragon gate.

Lin Yanchao changed the papers of several Confucian children in just a moment, these people originally held their own names, and one person was the top two in the county examination, but after Lin Yanchao approved the papers, many people gave up.

The Confucian children came up one after another to hand in the papers, and when they reached the fifteenth hour, Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Okay, let's prepare for the college exam!" ”

The Confucian boy was surprised when he heard this, and kowtowed: "Late student, the student has thanked the teacher, thanked the teacher, thanked the teacher." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and continued to read the papers, and soon took another volume and said with a smile: "Zhongzhou has good talents, not inferior to Wu Yue!" ”

Everyone thought that Lin Yanchao's vision as a Wenzong must be high, but they didn't expect that Lin Yanchao was not nitpicking, and even had omissions in the article, but the volume with good literary meaning was also taken.

But there were a few jokes.

In Lin Yanchao's question, there is a four-book title taken from the Analects, and the title is 'Simin, three generations go straight'.

A candidate who passed the joint in the county exam didn't know how to solve this question, so he had to forcibly solve the question 'generation after generation'.

Lin Yanchao read the volume, and didn't say anything and directly sentenced the volume. Seeing that the reason was not explained on the paper, the candidate said to Lin Yanchao very unconsciously at the moment: "I implore the government to give me a ranking!" ”

Lin Yanchao glanced at the candidate, shook his head, and now directly wrote 'second class, second class, second class, second class' under 'generation after generation'.

The Confucian children who were waiting for Lin Yanchao to approve the papers on the side all hid their faces and snickered, this person held Lin Yanchao's corrected papers, and asked others puzzledly What does this mean?

The others laughed for a while and explained: "Brother Tai, if you use three generations from generation to generation, then these second-class, second-class, and second-class together are not sixth-class." ”

Generally, the score of the roll is the fifth grade of 'circle tip point straight fork', and the meaning of this sixth grade is self-evident.

The candidate was immediately embarrassed.

In this marking paper, many candidates did not have the courage to correct Lin Yanchao in person, but handed in the papers and left on their own.

These people arrived at the Dragon Gate and got together.

When the gate opened, the men departed. Outside the dragon gate, there are many parents of candidates, as well as students who guarantee candidates.

When candidates go out, they will inevitably be asked about their results in front of the dragon gate.

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Your first question today is not 'Simin, three generations so go straight'." ”

The candidate was surprised: "Yes, how do you know?" ”

But the man was surprised and said, "Really, the question I heard in the tea house before is true!" ”

The candidates, as well as the parents, all showed disbelief when they heard this.

"How is this possible?"

"What's going on?"

"Why did the questions in the exam room leak? What are the following questions? ”

So the man opened his mouth and said it, but when he saw the two four-book questions and the five five-book questions in the examination room, the man said exactly what he said.

And these people are the first batch of candidates who have just left the examination room, but the test questions in the examination room are known to passers-by outside the examination room?

This is the case of cheating in the imperial examination!
