The officials of the Ministry of Rites almost shouted: "Look at the name in your hand, find the corresponding passage entrance and stand in line, and start entering the venue in a quarter of an hour." ”

This has to be admired by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

There are thousands of people outside the prison of the country, and they can make the exam go on in an orderly manner, which must be thought out of everything, if there is a riot or something, it is estimated that a large number of people will be taken down.

Li Fengwu's name is 39 Xuanzi.

Carrying a pair of things, it was difficult to shuttle through the crowd, and finally squeezed to the front of the examination with the Xuanzi card in hand, the queue had been formed, and the young scholars around him, or the gentlemen, all looked like they were holding their chests and buttocks up.

The names of the characters are all candidates for the hall entrance examination, that is, all of them are officials, so they are naturally much more arrogant than ordinary scholars.

After waiting for about half an hour, the sky was slightly bright, and it was finally the turn of the candidates with the name of Xuanzi, and dozens of candidates entered the gate of Guozijian in turn under the leadership of the examination affairs.

Walking through the gate, there were several people checking the candidates to prevent anyone from taking the exam.

Now there is no punishment for those who fail to pass the test in the locked hall test, indicating that the fraudulent test rarely occurs among the candidates in the locked hall test, and the examination ended quickly, and everyone followed the examination to a temporary wooden shed.

The examiner smiled and said: "I won't say anything superfluous, you should hurry up, and after bathing and changing clothes, you will pay homage to the Holy Master." There is a lot of sympathy in the smile, and most of the officials who have passed the imperial examination have experienced this incident.

The so-called bathing and changing clothes is actually another kind of inspection to prevent entrainment.

Li Fengwu knew about this matter, and in the memory of later generations, he had seen it in some historical novels, and of course, he had heard some readers say it before taking the exam -- isn't it just taking a bath, Li Fengwu didn't have much disgust with it.

However, in the past, this caused a lot of turmoil.

Since the existence of the imperial examination, there have been people cheating in every subject, especially entrainment, so in the Tang Dynasty, when the martial arts ruled the country, the imperial examination candidates would be checked from beginning to end by the soldiers - undressing, picking out ears or something......

In short, enough of you being naked and inspected.

In the Song Dynasty, the scholars ruled the world, and the scholars felt that this kind of behavior was too insulting, not only the opposition of the candidates and scholars became more and more violent, but even the scholars also felt that this move was inappropriate, so they had a compromise solution.

Isn't it necessary to pay homage to the Holy Master before the start of the exam, so in the name of this, let all the candidates take a bath, change into the new clothes prepared by the Ministry of Etiquette, and put an end to entrapment in the clothes.

Of course, the examination of hair and ears is becoming more and more stringent.

Because they didn't have to openly untie their long hair and fan their Confucian shirts, the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty gradually accepted this method, but at the end of the day, there would still be mustard.

After a simple bath and a change of unified Confucian shirts, a group of candidates came to the tribute venue.

After waiting for all the candidates to bathe and change their clothes, it was already afternoon, and without exception, everyone was hungry, but the part of paying homage to the Holy Master could not be simplified in any way.

After the salute sounded, the chief examiner Hong Zun and the deputy chief examiner Liu Xiangzheng wore official robes and walked to the incense table to offer incense to the holy master.

After that, there is the traditional ceremony, the secretary office knelt to invite the Three Realms Demon Emperor Guan Shengdi to enter the field to suppress, invited General Zhou to enter the field to patrol the field, and then knelt down to invite the Emperor of Qiqu Wenchang Kaihua Zitong to enter the field to take the main test, and invited the Lord Kuixing to enter the field to shine, it is already in the middle of the day.

Then there is the main examination speech, and finally the booklet wrapped in yellow silk is opened, and the undergraduate exam questions are taken out.

At this time, many officials of the Ministry of Etiquette copied the test questions and prepared to distribute them to various examination halls, and the candidates entered the second gate to their own examination hall under the leadership of the examination department.

I finally found my place, and almost everyone was the same, all of them took out food: I ate around four o'clock in the morning, and I have survived until now under the sun, and it is good if I don't faint from hunger.

The invigilator in charge also ate until all the candidates in the examination hall were quiet, and then walked into the examination hall with two subordinates and four forbidden soldiers, ready to start the examination.

All candidates cleaned up their desks and sat in front of them waiting for the exam to begin.

As with many exams in later generations, the examiner had to announce the discipline of the exam room again, and only after everyone had made it clear that they understood, did the forbidden soldiers post the exam questions on the wall facing them.

This action was performed at the same time in almost every examination hall.

Li Fengwu was not in a hurry to read the exam questions, but sat there first, and after calming down for a long time, he went to pour a cup of hot water and cold it, and then went to read the exam questions.

The Great Song Dynasty has Jinshi, Nine Classics, Ming Law, Ming Jing and Tongzi and other subjects.

This imperial examination is a big subject, and the Jinshi department is a standard Jinshi examination question: one poem each, five strategies, ten posts of the "Analects", and ten articles of Moyi in the "Spring and Autumn Period" and "The Book of Rites".

The size of the topic is definitely not comparable to that of the Li family's petty officials participating in the Wenxuan Wang Temple, and it is difficult to complete it in one day or two, because the imperial examination is three days, which also means that all candidates must be locked up for three days in the Guozijian tribute examination.

Li Fengwu took the official exam for the first time, and thought that three days was a lot of time, according to his own plan, he first read the test questions in general, and suddenly felt a headache, and felt that the time was a little tight!

But who is the petty official of the Li family?

In the memory of later generations, I am so familiar with the examination that I can't be more familiar with it, and the method is also very old-fashioned, in line with the principle of doing simple scoring questions in the exam, then doing medium difficulty parallel questions, and then doing difficult selection questions, and finally the bald questions for selecting talents, Li Fengwu first did the scriptures.

The so-called scriptures are the classic passages in the Analects of the Analects, which in the words of later generations are the dictation of the language. This is the first item when the examiner marks the test paper, and it is a basic scoring question.

How many of the scholars who participated in the imperial examination did not memorize the Analects?

If you don't even memorize the Analects, the examiner doesn't think that the candidate can do anything, because if you don't answer the scriptures well, it is likely that the content of the later test papers will not even have a chance to be reviewed.

It is not easy to open the book and send the questions: if the dictation is not good, it will often leave a bad impression on the examiner, and the poems, strategies and ink meanings in the back will also be affected considerably.

The petty officials of the Li family don't dare to take it lightly at all, they have the skills to never forget, and they don't have to worry about writing the content silently, but Nima's own word is really a bit unconfident......

It is because Li Fengwu is almost engrossed, cautious to the extreme, carefully writing word by word, fortunately after practicing Ouyang Xiu's regular script for a long time, it has achieved some results, and after writing a few questions, it seems that there should be no big problem.

Kankan finished the scriptures, and it was getting late.

Li Fengwu didn't dare to do any more questions, so he could only carefully check the scroll, then packed up his things and prepared to take the exam again the next day.

When it gets dark, there will be no oil lamps in the examination hall for candidates to do questions.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
