Xiao Ye is the top of Yangzhou Prefecture, second only to Jiankang Prefecture, and is located in the second place in District A. According to the book, it is not difficult to find.

The examination room is similar to the palace examination. Each person has a room with a square meter and a half meter, and there are couches, a few stools, and a toilet behind the curtain.

In the examination room, only rustling footsteps were left. Every scholar remained silent and nervous. Xiao Ye found one of his own room. There was a guard at the door. Although the scholar no longer searched, the armored soldiers took the responsibility of supervising them. If the candidate cheated, the armored soldiers would have to be held in a row. This was almost an unrestrained disaster, and it would be strange if he had a good face.

Xiao Ye walked closer and bowed his hand. He ignored the military agent and didn't care and went straight into the examination room.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the provincial examination are supplied in a unified manner. The candidates only need to bring the bedding. Xiao Ye lays the bedding, sits down and grinds the ink by himself.

Although he had comforted Jiang Fang, he actually did not dare to underestimate him. In this era, only scholars and eloquents were not like those in the Ming and Qing dynasties, who had many scheming students, including official careers, donated students, etc., even the old scholars of more than two terms had real knowledge.

Similar to the college entrance examination, there are still five examiners in the provincial examination, namely the head of the main bureau, the academic administration, and the deputy chief and deputy chief of the court assigned by the court.

The examiner of this scene was Ren Zhigu, the general manager of Jiangnan Road, and Wang Xun, who was nearly forty years old. He was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was the nephew of Empress Wang. After Concubine Xiao Shu died, Xiao was dismissed from office and seized titles, and the Wang family's children could still be in court. This shows that the foundation of the Wang family in Taiyuan was far stronger than that of the Xiao family in Lanling.

There are also Wu Chengsi, the Minister of Rites, Yao Chong, the Minister of War, and Yuan Shuji, the Minister of Dali Temple.

The overall level of the five examiners is one level higher than that of the college entrance examination, but because the examination papers are participated by gods, there is no difference between the seats. Any juren is admitted by five people.

"Everyone!"

Ren Zhigu looked at the hourglass, stood up suddenly, clasped his fists and said, "The time has come, let's start!"

"As the commander of the Central Commander!"

The four of them returned the gifts one after another. Together with Ren Zhigu, they bowed to the Wenchang Emperor who was headed up three times, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and shouted: "Please start the exam!"

In an instant, Emperor Wenchang seemed to come alive.

All five people were in front of them. Emperor Wenchang seemed to point his finger, but it seemed that he was still motionless. Then a huge literary spirit spread out and covered the entire Gongyuan. Except for Wu Chengsi, the five people were all from Jinshi. Their literary spirit soared into the sky and felt it. Through Emperor Wenchang's eyes, every move in the examination room was in the palm of their hands.

If you pass the exam, you can directly be appointed as an official. Even if you are just a ninth-rank county teacher, you can also affect students in a county. Therefore, when you reach this level, Emperor Wenchang will not hesitate to spend his literary energy and personally come to supervise the candidates. At the same time, the candidates' literary energy will no longer be concealed, and the true form will be revealed in the exam.

For Ren Zhigu and four others, this vision is not the first time, but they still secretly marvel at the power of the gods. However, they are just admiring and not envious. After all, the gods are enfeoffed after death, and come to be incense. They live in the underworld, and are constrained by the dynasties on earth. They serve the dynasties on earth with a limited degree. They are not free and free. Only immortals, arrogant above the nine heavens and looking down at the changes in the earth, can they be truly free and free.

A glimmer flashed in Wu Chengsi's eyes. He was the nephew of Empress Wu. He had no fame in the imperial examination and was lucky enough to be promoted. He could not resonate with the literary spirit of Emperor Wenchang. He was both envious and jealous.

However, he came to Jiangnan Road to serve as a provincial examination examiner and asked the queen for the imperial examination. After all, the Wu family had shallow foundation and suddenly had a high position. He had no trustworthy subordinates. Those who came to join the enrollment had very few real pillars. Obviously, it was the most cost-effective to select confidants from the fresh graduates and train them by themselves. Empress Wu also had this idea and approved the invitation from Wu Chengsi.

The four of them didn't look down on Wu Chengsi very much, and they didn't care about Wu Chengsi's feelings at all.

"The exam starts!"

Ren Zhigu shouted loudly.

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

The drum was ringing heavily, and all the candidates were shocked.

An invigilator shouted: "The time has come, and the exam has officially begun. All candidates should not be impatient and wait for the distribution of the exam papers."

The gate of the examination institute is locked. No one is allowed to go out within three days. Even if the examination is finished in advance, they must stay in the examination room. This is the unique feature of the provincial examination. It is not an emergency military situation or imperial edict. Anyone who trespasses the tribute school will be killed!

Ren Zhigu invigilator received the king's flag, and had the right to take action first and then report.

A famous official had a tight face and sent a book according to the number. As usual, the candidates checked the sealed paint and signed the name before they could receive the test bag.

After careful inspection, Xiao Ye signed his name before receiving the exam bag and opened it and looked at it.

The first volume is a four-book title and a trial poem.

The title of the Four Books is: Two!

Xiao Ye was stunned when he read this question!

Lying on grass!

Which is the question that I have asked? I really want to greet his ancestors for the eighteen generations!

But no matter how much you scold, the problem still needs to be solved.

Xiao Ye looked up and saw that in the examination room opposite, every student looked extremely wonderful. Someone muttered a few words, which immediately attracted the scolding of the invigilator, and they all became honest.

Xiao Ye also concentrated himself on his mind and thought secretly.

The Four Books include the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, the University and the Doctrine of the Mean. Through the method of exclusion, the latter three are excluded, leaving only the Analects of Confucius.

In the Analects of Confucius, there are thirteen chapters containing two, and one must be selected from them.

Chapters rolled by in my mind.

Eh?

Xiao Ye noticed that there is only one article in the two independent sentences, which comes from "The Analects of Confucius: Yan Yuan Chapter 12".

The full text says: I am hungry for years and I am not able to use it enough, so what?

Youruo replied: Are you going to do it thoroughly?

He said: Second, I am still not enough, how thorough is it?

He replied: Who is the best for the people? Who is the best for the king? Who is the best for the people?

Xiao Ye did not dare to be negligent, so he turned around carefully and wrote the thirteen chapters one by one, then he made up his mind to choose the question to solve the question. If he chose the wrong question, no matter how clever the question was, he would have zero points.

The so-called two in the title is ten taxes and two.

Duke Ai of Lu asked Youruo, what should I do if I suffered a famine this year and the cost was insufficient?

Youruo replied: Why not implement the law and collect one-tenth of land tax?

Ai Jingdao: I am not enough for ten taxes, so how can I implement one-tenth tax law?

Youruo said: How can the monarch not be enough? Who should the monarch collect taxes from?

It is obvious that in the confrontation, the admonishment of Ai Gong, advised Ai Gong to be rich in the people. The court's question has revealed the context of the soon-to-be benevolent government.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ye shook his head secretly. Li Jingye really harmed others and himself. He rebelled and died, not only did he say that he had died, but he also forced Empress Wu from one extreme to another. From Xingren to the other, he suddenly became a person who was dissatisfied with him.

Although theoretically speaking, the question has been extremely clever and there should be no fishing or traps in the question, Xiao Ye still carefully checked it according to the current situation and confirmed that there was no one before writing the question.

"Hey, someone started writing."
Chapter completed!
