The provincial examination of the Great Song Dynasty was originally relatively loose, and the number of examinations was uncertain, sometimes seven or eight, sometimes dozens...... In a word, if you can't kill you, I will lose.

When Fan Zhongyan was in power, he found that this way of taking the exam was too casual, so he simply set the rules, and from then on, the provincial exam was only three.

Three exams, the first is strategy.

Ma Ying found his seat and sat down, he looked up left and right, and saw two classmates from Taixue.

The three of them bowed slightly, and at this moment, the Kezhi Gongju Fan Town had finished those etiquettes, and said closely: "The imperial examination is the way of talent, and the three strategies, theories, and poems are all learned by you." Today's officials are benevolent and thirsty for talent, so they open the imperial examination and value talents...... Today's provincial test, after the pass, it is an official, you wait for your strength. ”

In the past, the palace examination would also dethrone the candidates, but in the middle and late stages of Renzong, once the provincial examination was passed, even if it was completely passed, the palace examination was just a ranking.

So as soon as Fan Zhen's words came out, the candidates were all excited, and there was some buzzing sound.

"Let's get started."

Fan Zhen nodded slightly, and someone began to report the topic, and at the same time, it was written on the cardboard and spread it everywhere.

In an instant, the candidates who studied too much were stunned.

Ma Ying was also stunned.

This question...... How is it so familiar?

An article is formed in the mind in an instant, and the speed is so fast that it can probably scare those so-called geniuses.

Ma Ying is not a genius, and the speed is so fast because he has done this question.

At this moment, he remembered the questions given by the professors when he was studying in Taixue in the past.

It's luck, right?

Ma Ying thinks it's mostly like this, but she is still overjoyed.

He looked left and right, and the two classmates were also rejoicing.

In the examination room, the candidates of Taixue are rejoicing......

Are they crazy?

Seeing this, the other candidates only sneered, and some even coughed dryly, attracting the invigilator to come and check.

"Don't talk to each other, otherwise it's cheating."

Fan Zhen watched with satisfaction as order returned again.

He returned behind the curtain and spoke to a few of his colleagues.

"The candidates of Taixue look neat and uniform, which is the result of Shen Anbei in the past few years."

"Those students smell chickens and dance every day, and they do martial arts things, and they are shameless!"

"It's just to strengthen your body, why be so mean."

"Mean what? Don't you know that they not only run, but also practice spears and knives, which is not the business of martial artists? ”

"They don't go into battle, what kind of martial arts do they do?"

"That's it."

Fan Zhen frowned and suppressed the dispute between them, and someone said, "Shen An not only practiced martial arts in Taixue, but also got that...... The art of the sea has attracted the world to follow suit, and people of insight have denounced its kitsch, but its momentum has become ...... How? ”

"Hey! The art of the sea has become the climate, and it can't be suppressed, but it can be suppressed Taixue! ”

Everyone exchanged glances and smiled.

Fan Zhen knew what they meant, but he was happy to see it happen.

Taixue ...... Shen An......

His eyes grew more and more somber.

The style of study in recent years has not been quite right, and this trend must be reversed, and the best way to do this is to reflect it in the imperial examinations.

For example, if a candidate who adheres to the traditional way of learning wins the provincial examination, is this a proof?

Fan Zhen thought of those talents in the undergraduate, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

……

The exam continued, and when the questions for the second session came out, there was another low cheer in the exam room.

"Silence!"

"Quiet!"

Another successful crackdown, Fan Zhen was in a better mood.

But the candidates who are too learned are a little confused.

Why is this topic still familiar?

Ma Ying remembered a similar topic, which was done in the middle of last year, although it was different, but it was similar and could be extended a lot.

Groove ......

He was a little confused.

He looked left and right, and found that the other candidates were all frowning or meditating, and obviously had not done similar questions.

He looked at the two classmates on the left and right, and their eyes were also full of disbelief.

Who the hell got this problem?

I got two questions right in a row......

O my God!

……

The outside of the Gong Courtyard was crowded again, and Shen An was among them.

A group of parents of Taixue candidates gathered around him, talking about their kid's diligence, probably worried about failing the exam, and wanted to leave a good impression on Shen An.

If you can't pass the provincial exam, you will probably have to continue to study, and you will have to be under the hands of this edict, so it's right to please first.

And as a relative, those around are far away.

The parents of the local candidates in Bianliang came, and they gathered in groups of three or five to talk and laugh loudly.

"With the technique of the sea of questions, it is no longer difficult to take the imperial examination, and it is great to wait for the edict."

"Yes! This is his credit, but now that it has been spread everywhere, Taixue has no advantage. ”

"It's like a meteor twinkling for a moment, it looks beautiful, but it's just that once."

"But thank him a lot."

Everyone smiled at Shen An, and Shen An responded with his head bowed.

There are still grateful people, and this discovery makes Shen An very pleased.

"He looked good-looking, and he wasn't depressed."

"Taixue rarely goes now, so what are you frustrated about? If you do well in the exam, you will say that you have long been out of control. ”

"And what is he doing today?"

"Make a show!"

"It's open!"

Someone shouted, and everyone rushed forward.

"Oops! Don't squeeze it! ”

Shen An was surrounded by people, and struggled for a long time before he got out.

The gates of the Gongyuan opened, and the candidates poured out.

"Da Lang, here, here for the father!"

"Second brother, second brother, I'm here ......"

“……”

There was a sudden chaos outside.

Zhu Qing also came out, and several candidates from Jiangnan East Road surrounded him, talking about their articles from time to time.

This is probably a review.

"Brother Zhu, how are yours?"

"It's fine."

Zhu Qing is very humble.

"Brother Zhu is the most outstanding person among us, and this department should be prominent."

“……”

Zhu Qing ignored these praises, he was silently thinking about his articles and poems, and felt that it was okay, and his mood improved.

Wait for the results, when the results come out, Su Shi will definitely not let Su Shi specialize in beauty.

"I'm too learned!"

Zhu Qing turned around and saw the students of Taixue regrouping outside the gate, and then walked towards their parents and family.

Their family members watched with a smile, and Shen An consciously walked to the side, and there was no one around.

When Zhu Qing saw Shen An's situation at the moment, he somehow remembered the old dog next door, lonely and pitiful.

Then he saw a drill.

The students of Taixue stood neatly in front of Shen An, just like the scene during the morning exercise every day.

"What are they going to do?"

"I don't know, maybe Shen An still has to speak."

"It looks neat!"

"Yes, the neatness of the martial arts makes people look at it...... Uncomfortable. ”

The students of Taixue bowed down in unison, still in unison.

"Thank you for waiting for the edict."

Everyone stopped and looked over.

This is outside the gate of the Tribute Academy, and countless candidates and their families are watching this scene.

Watching the students of Taixue bend over and shout.

"Thank you for waiting for the edict!"

The sound of neatness shook the inside and outside of the Gongyuan.

……

What does that mean?

Zhu Qing felt that there were too many rules to learn, which made people a little uncomfortable.

The Taixue candidates who dispersed afterwards scattered the reasons everywhere.

"Did you do well in the exam?"

"Okay, Daddy, the child feels sure."

"Really?"

"Really, the child will definitely be able to pass the provincial test this time."

"Don't talk big, be careful of being made fun of."

"Daddy, the child is really sure."

“……”

The candidates who studied too much were all smiling, but they just remembered the rules and didn't release the news that the exam questions were guessed.

This makes others a little disdainful.

"They are so proud, and they get carried away by the success of the last subject."

"Yes, so this section should give them a slap in the face!"

Many people think the same way, and as the flow of people disperses, everything that happens outside the gate of Gongyuan today spreads.

When Han Qi learned about it, he just shook his head and said to Ouyang Xiu, "Didn't you ask Shen An to knock on it?" Why is Taixue still so proud? ”

Ouyang Xiu said blankly: "I said it, but ...... Young people always have to suffer to know the lesson. ”

Han Qi nodded, "Yes, his road is too smooth, he should fall this time." ”

"Call the Privy Council, let's go to the official's house."

Zhao Zhen was bedridden, but the Zai Fu would go outside the dormitory every day to greet him.

When he arrived outside the West Pavilion of the Funing Palace, Han Qi first asked about his condition.

The imperial physician Wang Xiang said: "The official family is constantly recovering, and there is a certain certainty ......"

He was very confident in his medical skills, and Han Qi smiled when he heard this: "If that's the case, a certain guarantee will give you a great merit." ”

Wang Xiang retreated, and Han Qi took the Zai Fu to salute outside.

"Zhuqing has worked hard."

The two sides did not meet, and Zhao Zhen listened to their reports inside, either speaking a few words or silently.

After talking about politics, Han Qi felt that the atmosphere was too serious, so he smiled and said: "Official, after the provincial examination today, the students of Taixue are very confident, and they will be successful outside the Gongyuan." ”

Zhao Zhen leaned on the head of the bed, and smiled when he heard this: "Young man, isn't Shen An often full of confidence?" It's a matter of words and deeds. I should have said that they were frivolous, but I thought I had done this when I was younger, so I ...... Some yearning! ”

Han Qi said outside: "So the ministers are retiring. ”

Zhao Zhen answered inside, and as soon as they left, he took a few breaths.

"The way of the emperor is first in majesty, majestic and unpredictable, so the loyalty of his subordinates remains unchanged, do you understand?"

"Yes, the boy understands."

Sitting next to him was Zhao Shu.

Zhao Zhen coughed dryly, and Zhao Shu took warm water for him to drink.

After taking a sip of warm water, Zhao Zhen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Zai Fu must be steady, otherwise one idea today and one idea tomorrow, the emperor will have a headache." ”

Zhao Shu nodded, "In the past, the children thought that the Zaifu were too twilight, but now it seems that this is not twilight, but steady. The Great Song Dynasty is too big to be underestimated. ”

"Yes, that's the truth."

Zhao Zhen's eyes were full of memories: "I can hear that the students of Taixue are full of vitality, and I can't help but feel refreshed, which shows that the way of the emperor lies in balance." ”

……

The third is sent, good night!
