Chapter 336 Everything is as expected

After the outer curtain officer met with the chief and vice president, it was time to deliver supper to the candidates.

Eating is a simple thing, but it is not an easy task to provide food and drink for more than 10,000 candidates. Almost all Huotou and the yamen runners went out, and it took nearly half an hour to deliver the food to the candidates one by one.

The candidates in the front line are fine, but the weather is cold. When it comes to the last few, the food is already cold and they are slightly worse. After the exam for nine days and the mental stress, they usually get serious illness.

For scholars of this era, the imperial examination is equivalent to a war.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examinations were obtained from the county to the prefecture and finally to the central government, and I didn’t know how many scholars flocked to the examination hall every year. Especially for the examinations above the provincial examination, there were tens of thousands of people in each. From this, we can see that the organizational ability of a country’s structure is also a symbol of the strength of the country.

Wu Jie was lucky because he was close to the kitchen and when the food was delivered to his hands, it was steaming and tasted good.

Today is the first meal in the exam room. The president is very kind and adds food.

I gave a flower bonus, which was really rare in the north where I ate Chinese cabbage for a winter. In addition to flower bonus, there were two pancakes. In order to take care of the southerners, the examiner specially sent a bowl of rice, a plate of bean sprouts, a bowl of braised pork and a bowl of soup.

Wu Jie ate very vigorously without eating serious food all day, and had meat and vegetables. After a while, he slid his mouth and had eaten all his food, he drank only two bowls of soup without leaving any drops.

However, the smell in the exam room was really bad, which was a shame. In addition, the wooden barrel in the exam room was really annoying.

After eating so much, he was quick and his stomach was so full. Wu Jie simply stood up, walked to the door, looked out, but found that there were not many candidates with such a good appetite as him.

Wu Jie couldn't see what happened in the two test rooms next to him. But the candidates on the opposite side sighed because they were worried about the question paper that was about to be sent. Almost everyone sat behind the table with chopsticks, unable to fall off their chopsticks for a long time. Their faces also looked very gloomy in the candlelight. Today's appetite was already large, and they were unwilling to eat. There was probably a lot left.

The only exception is Wu Lun. This guy didn't eat fast, but was extremely calm. While eating, he looked up at Wu Jie from time to time, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Wu Jie was too lazy to confront him with his eyes. In the examination room, everything was spoken by grades, and no one could kill anyone with his eyes. So he stood at the door for a moment and returned to the kang to sleep.

It is naturally impossible to burn the kang in the exam room. I didn’t know how long I lie down, but I felt that my vest was chilling and I couldn’t sleep. Just as I was about to get up, I saw several yamen runners coming over with red paper lanterns. I walked and shouted, “All the questions are coming down, all the questions are up!”

Although I had known in advance that the question would be posted tonight, other candidates could not help but be stunned.

Wu Jie walked to the door with one step and looked outside quietly.

Opposite, Wu Lun's movements were even bigger, standing there before Wu Jie, his eyes lit up in the dark night. Seeing Wu Jie, he grinned his teeth, his expression seemed to be a smile.

Wu Jie felt a sudden shock in his heart: Is the question the same as in real history? Will there be any change? In fact, this time and space seem to have changed because of the appearance of me. Lu Bing died two months later than historical records, and King Jing, who should not have returned to Beijing for the New Year, also came back. The butterfly effect seems to have taken effect, and history is about to be unrecognizable.

If the exam questions are different from history, things will be troublesome. You have to search again in your memory and find a suitable model essay. This matter is also troublesome. For a while, you may not be able to find a suitable answer.

Thinking of this, his heart tightened, and his hand holding the fence couldn't help but exert force.

The wooden fence made a creaking sound, and the sound fell into Wu Lun's ears opposite.

He couldn't help but chuckled: "Brother Jie, you're scared. This is not where you should come, you're just a fool!"

Wu Jie snorted.

The voice of his speech alarmed the yamen runners, and a whip came over and threw it directly on Wu Lun's door: "Don't talk, eat and beat carefully!"

Wu Lun was so scared that he took a step back, and hit the table, squatting down in pain.

Wu Jie said "Ha!" and laughed.

Before, Wu Jie made a fuss at the gate of the Gongyuan, and the yamen runners naturally knew the famous scholar Wu Shizhen, but they didn't care. Instead, they were amused by Wu Lun. They walked to Wu Jie and handed over a piece of paper for the title.

Wu Jie was worried, and didn't care about returning to the table, and stood there, looking at the lantern in the hands of the yamen runners.

Wu Jie had already read the exam order of the imperial examination earlier on the list. The first one was the seven "Four Books" titles, including six "Eight Essays" and one test poem.

The second scene is the Five Classics questions, one article is examined, and the title uses the filial piety scriptures to judge the five paths. The edicts, edicts, and the choices are expressed.

The third game is about five paths.

I will post the question paper at night before the exam. The questions I posted today are the seven-language "Four Books" texts in the first session.

The proportion of the six eight-legged essays and one test post poem site in the total score is at least 80%. It can be said that if you answer these seven questions well, you will be very confident that you will be on the list. As for the second of the last two games, the second of the next two games, the official document writing of scholars, and the third game, the comprehensive quality and governance ability of the candidates. It is only used as a reference to test whether scholars can be a qualified official.

When it was time to open the question paper, Wu Jie felt his hands heavy and he became a little nervous.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Jie took a deep breath and thought to himself: What am I nervous about? Even if the topic changes, it is different from the real history. If you don’t have a big deal, find a suitable model and copy it, how can you be afraid of it?

After thinking about this, he calmed down and opened the question calmly. When he saw that the first question was suddenly "Li Lou's wisdom and Gongshuzi's cleverness, he could not achieve square or round without rules."

It was exactly what I saw in the room of Emperor Jiajing of Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan that day.

Then I continued to look down and found that the other five eight-legged essays and the test-post poems were exactly the same as in real history.

Wu Jie let out a long sigh and murmured: "No change, no change."

Wu Jie had already prepared these six paths and eight-legged essays, and they were all top scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The authors of each article were either famous officials who were prominent in history, or literary masters of the generation: Gu Yanwu, Zhang Tingyu, Huang Zongzhou, Fang Bao, Weng Tonghe, and Zhou Yanru...

If it is normal, just copying one article is enough to make you a high school Jinshi. Even if you can't get into the first grade, it is normal for you to be awarded a Jinshi by being named a second grade.

Since history is about to change, and since it has decided that this is my last exam, Wu Jie has not been patient to take the exam again in three years, so he simply released all the most important chapters in the sample essay at hand.

To write an essay, you have to be a group of flowers, and to win the top scorer, you have to be a no-dispute.

Then... Let's go to bed first!

So tired...
Chapter completed!
