August 21' in the early morning

"Isn't this Brother Ye?" someone suddenly said behind him: "Let's go to the examination institute together?"

When Ye Qing looked back, this person was thirty years old, with a Tuan Tuan's face and a mustache, Ye Qing remembered that this was Xiang Duo, a talented person from the nearby courtyard, because he smiled: "Brother Xiang, it turned out to be you, let's go together"

Xiang Duo smiled and said with some emotion: "It's the exam room again, it's really hard to say anything about it, I'm not afraid of you laughing, this is the third time I've entered the state to take the test, if I don't win this time, I'll really go back and take up a position in the county." ”

Ye Qing smiled, he only wore a silk coat, although it was not extravagant, but it was dusty, very spiritual, and he didn't say much at the moment, so he went together.

At this time, the street was full of traffic, the crown was like a cloud, and Ye Qing and Xiang Duo were far away by ox, and they were not in a hurry.

At this time, Ye Qing glanced at a pawnshop, a sneer flashed on his face, and he continued to move slowly without saying a word.

Halfway through, I instinctively felt that something was wrong, and a few people were obviously staring, except for the stalking, there was a cold murderous aura behind them.

"The Yu family will send assassins?"

The state city examination institute is located in the southwest of the city, is the most important place of the imperial court ceremony of the past dynasties, the repeated repair, the ox cart along the right road into the place, is a large open space, can accommodate thousands of ox carts, the ox cart falls steadily here.

When Ye Qing came out to see, he saw that the morning sun was just rising, so cold and cold, with a layer of fog, after passing the door, he saw that there were small halls on both sides of the road, so he lined up in two teams and went over, and when he arrived, he heard someone say: "The gold medal was shown only for the examination show"

Ye Qing took it out unhurriedly and was inspected by an official, so he put it in.

At this time, a large number of showmen flocked to the second hall, Ye Qing looked back and smiled, and then stepped forward to rush in, and listened to the tolerance to raise the flag: "The gold medal area code line up to enter."

Immediately, it was divided into ten examination areas, and Ye Qing also entered and entered the examination shed.

I saw that this is similar to the county exam, one exam is divided into two rows of examination rooms, one room per person, and each room is a couch, a table and a low stool.

And each room is numbered, exactly the same as the gold number.

At this time, Xiucai all entered, silent, nervous and solemn, Ye Qing found one of his own, and saw that each room was guarded by a soldier, and sighed in his heart: "It's strict again."

Like the last exam, there was a basket, Ye Qing went over and looked through it, it was still a pot of tea and a stack of six meat pancakes.

Ye Qing inspected the pen and inkstone on the table, all of which were uniformly distributed, and they had already been placed here, just waiting for the time to arrive for the candidates to use.

At this time, it was in the safest place, and there was no ban, Ye Qing did not hesitate, looking at himself.

I saw that I was red, there was a golden cloud outside, and a trace of gray gas had been wiped out for most of it, but a gray and black light shot out from a distance, and when it was near, it even turned into a poisonous snake, faintly restraining its own luck, Ye Qing couldn't help but have cold eyes, and suddenly had an awareness: "If you don't hit this time, you will immediately be killed, and even cause trouble to your relatives thousands of miles away"

At the entrance of the hall, someone looked at the time on the sundial and shouted: "The time has come, the examination will officially begin, and the candidates should not be impatient, waiting for the release of the examination papers." ”

With the invigilator's shout, the door was locked, and the plaque in front of the hall was hung with a gold seal

At the same time, he listened to the examiner's voice: "You are all old in the examination room, and the rules will not be said more, now the paper is issued, and I wish you ......"

Ye Qing couldn't listen to it at all, thinking back to this journey, how difficult it was to rise with white hands, just a counterattack led to such a situation.

I am indignant in my heart, and I clearly know the way, this is reality.

calmed down, calmed down the indignation, went to the net basin in the curtain to wash his hands, wiped the cloth dry, and came back to calm down, waiting to send the chalk papers, just as soon as he saw it, Ye Qing smiled, it was no longer the "ploughing cattle test" that Xiucai tried.

There is only one post, the content is very small, it is a form, can be all the way from the children's test, the show of talent to kill up, all of them are excellent memory, hard work without leakage, the classics are like a stream.

This kind of scripture can not distinguish the learning, and it is too remote and impossible, so it is purely a test of luck, and the original intention of the volume measurement is lost.

Therefore, it has been greatly simplified, and the talents who can go to the state test are afraid that they will only need half an hour to fill in.

The second is a discussion of the way of the sages, and the content has also been greatly reduced, unlike the exaggerated seven questions of Xiucai's "ploughing cattle test" work, there is only one question, no need to be hasty, you can slowly carve it into your own best level, so that the pearl of Wenhua shines at night and is not submerged.

Ye Qing continued to read the third volume, the third volume was completely different, there were three questions in total, all of which were real official duties drawn from the real yamen.

Let the candidates make choices and decisions according to the three classics and five classics, and discuss the truth, this is the middle part, and it is the big article.

Think about it, you can be an official if you are promoted, and you must study the political and celiac talents, but in fact, the number of words is not much, the judgment is really reasonable, the description is clear, and one article can be 500 words.

The fourth volume is to let the candidates discuss the way of political and chalk governance according to the three questions of the middle book, but it cannot be separated from the three classics and five classics, but discuss political and chalk governance within the scope of the Taoist scriptures.

On the whole, these exam questions are much more difficult than the county exam, and it can be said that the level of these exams shows that there is no problem with being an official, at least in theory, and the test is the level of political and chalk governance of Xiucai.

It's just that for Ye Qing, this is even more handy than the county test, so after reading the cover paper, his thoughts gradually calmed down, pondered for a while, took a piece of rice paper, and quietly put down the pen.

I finished the first volume first, but it was very easy, and I didn't even need to write it in a draft.

In just half an hour, Ye Qing finished writing the first volume, examined it for himself, and was very satisfied.

There is no mistake or omission, the three classics and the five classics have been cited, and they are impeccable.

With a plan in mind, the second volume was unfolded.

"This is a discussion of the truth, there are seven questions in the county examination, and now there is only one question, which can be calmly thought, drafted, and embellished. ”

After pondering for a moment, he opened his eyes again, picked up his pen and began to compose.

At this time, it is a matter of life and death, what else can be taken care of?

Immediately decided to plagiarize a famous masterpiece of the same Jinshi.

"With my current literary career, it is not impossible to write it myself, but I am afraid that it is a lack of energy, so that the four volumes cannot be integrated from beginning to end, and at this point, it is necessary to show strength, and in the essay question, it is a blockbuster, and then the third volume deals with public office, and the fourth volume summarizes the way of political chalk governance, and the tide is layered up, forming an overwhelming overall advantage"

Thinking of this, Ye Qing sneered: "Only you, Yu Fan, dare to take risks and fight hard?

At that moment, Tong Jinshi's incisive articles flowed through my heart.

To be fair, now Ye Qing's level is almost the same as that of the same Jinshi, these famous articles are written in the examination room, although they are really literary, but in the end the time is short, there is a lot of room for revision, Ye Qing sneered, and wrote the draft, he recited like a stream, this thousand words or so, just half an hour, was recorded on paper.

After reading it carefully, I carefully considered it word by word, neatly arranged sentences, balanced structure, and added and deleted words, making the whole text of the last piece simple and pure, even to the extent that a word can hardly be deleted or added.

Ye Qing's dream has been completed for seven years, and this revision will not take half an hour, and the second volume will be completed, and there will be no further hesitation at the moment, and it will be copied to the official examination paper.

As the words were written, the pen gradually became cloudy.

At sunrise in the early morning, the two miles are paved with gold-patterned bricks, and the continuous houses are bathed in golden light, and a gold seal is far hanging on the high platform green hall.

According to the inspector Fan Shan entertained the invigilator, at this time he personally supervised, saw the guards patrolling, the gods monitoring in mid-air, and the Dao Law was strictly suppressed, and he could also feel the breath of Wenhua, full of vitality, but it was lurking like a tide.

At the moment, he sincerely admired: "Such a grand occasion of literature always makes people intoxicated." ”

The invigilator in the back didn't have a keen insight, so he just smiled and echoed: "There are 3,000 Xiucai in Quanzhou over the years, and 1,000 candidates for the exam this year, they must all be outstanding and confident scholars." ”

Fan Shan nodded, and was about to explain.

The sound of the fountain sounded, and this strange sound instantly caused a group of armor guards to rush over, and a god fell in mid-air.

The invigilator was very embarrassed, and as soon as he said that he was an outstanding and confident man, he was slapped in the face, and he couldn't help but reprimand him angrily: "Go and see who cheats"

"Yes" An official shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, turned around and ran, regretting that he should not have been so close.

"Wait" Fan Shan spoke up, saw the direction of the commotion clearly, and couldn't help but ask thoughtfully: "What is the last candidate in this examination area?"

The invigilator pecked the rice and nodded: "The adult recorded half a point is not bad......"

With such a big movement, the invigilator's face is full of tears and tears, which is obviously because the golden seal cannot be completely covered, and it can be predicted that it is a shocking fraud case, and his own end is to migrate to Salmon Island?

Or a decapitation of the wet market?

"How could I be so unlucky...... was when he was sad, but Fan Shan smiled: "I'll go down and take a look." ”

"Master Fan, is this stupid?" Several chief and deputy examiners looked at each other, and quickly trotted over.

Passing through the examination area of the vertical and horizontal chess cloth, seeing the sound of the soldiers running, and the group of examiners rushed to go, although the candidates did not know what was going on, they all stopped writing, if it were not for the suppression of the soldiers, they would almost start to discuss.

"Sit back, sit back, don't do your business, and if there is any more noise, you will be expelled from the examination room immediately" The examiners shouted loudly all the way, maintaining order.

When I arrived at the location, I saw a team of armor soldiers surrounding me, but they did not go in.

Fan Shan stopped and watched quietly, and a young man in the examination room didn't pay attention to it, didn't raise his head, and was still writing to himself.

The pen is like a dragon and a snake, and the words on the paper are green and breathing, like smoke and columns, and when they reach three feet, they are cut off by the gold seal, although this is not seen by ordinary eyes, but at the level of the state examination, there are many people who can see it, and several examiners look at each other, all of them look at each other: "This is ......"

I heard Fan Shan shout: "What are you doing around? Don't affect the normal examination by taking your post?"

The guards dispersed, and the candidates were all talented, and they all heard the meaning, no matter what kind of thoughts they had, they all sat down immediately and continued the exam quietly.

Fan Shan looked at it intently, there was no expression on his face, and then he looked at the several examiners who had come over, nodded, and said, "Let's go back."

As he spoke, he walked back.

Several examiners had to follow, and when they returned to the hall, they couldn't help it anymore: "My lord, what's the situation?"
