The final chapter, the lingering sound(1/2)

When people are busy, time always passes quickly. Before they know it, more than ten days have passed in a flash. There are only two days left before the official start of the scientific examination Dayeli Li.

In these last few days, the scene of students making up for the calculation of the scriptures came to an end. At the suggestion of some classmates, the students put down the boring calculation of the scriptures and began to discuss visiting many scenery in the sky, especially the Tianchi Zijian Academy, where the holy land of students in the world is located.

Although through conversations with Che Yin, these students knew that even if they failed the exam today, they could be qualified to be admitted to the Imperial College as a juren of the state, so that they could stay in the sky to improve their studies and wait for another battle.

However, many people at the time believe that the selection of scholars in regular subjects is a great kindness of the saints, and it was a precedent for all dynasties. After this trial, I am afraid that it will be difficult to obtain scholars in several years.

In other words, even if they stay in Tianzhong, they will have to wait at least three years later for the next opportunity. Everyone is in a different situation, and not everyone can study in Tianzhong for three years without distraction.

Because for many people, if they fail to pass the thirteen subjects for nearly two months, they will have to return home in despair. But finally, even if they have nothing to gain in fame and fortune, they hope to be able to see the scenery in the sky for the rest of their lives.

As their fellow villager, Che Yin also has a lot of empathy for the students' changes in their moods. Therefore, during the remaining two days, they also actively acted as guides to guide these fellow villagers to visit the scenery in the sky.

Wan Xin's mood has been very ups and downs these days. His poor study was also effective. He barely understood the "Island Calculation" thoroughly, but he always couldn't get into the more systematic "Principles of Geometry".

Especially when I heard that "Principles of Geometry" was compiled by His Majesty, the current saints, Wan Xin's admiration for the saints was even more overwhelming, and he was more eager to win the first year of the year and become a tribute scholar, so as to obtain the palace examination qualification and have a glimpse of the beauty of heaven.

But he had to face a fact that his talent was still weak, especially when he left home this time, he was already against his relatives' wishes. Once he failed this spring exam, he would not be able to stay in the sky. Therefore, he cherished the next few days and gave up his calculations, hoping to remember the various grand occasions in the sky. Even if he returned home, he would encourage himself and not be lazy in studying.

"The Imperial College is the highest national science, and the general theory of the world comes from this. There are Xinshi Pavilion, Engineering Academy, and martial arts lecture hall under the Imperial College..."

Although Che Yin failed in the previous academic and erudition, he was qualified to take the exam, and his academic achievements were guaranteed. Moreover, he studied in the highest academic institution of Imperial College, the state dynasty for two years. It is naturally no problem to talk about the rules of this dynasty. For students, he is naturally the best guide. Many old stories have also benefited greatly from the students during the tour.

Due to the spring examination, a large number of students gathered in the sky, and many museums and pavilions of the Imperial College are also open for students to visit. They travel smoothly here from all over the world, which is very lively.

Among them, students who belonged to the Imperial College like Che Yin acted as guides, and told students from all over the world with patience and pride, such as the old house of the crown prince King Wu who attended the Xinshi Pavilion, the origin of the reputation of the righteous bone in the king of Changshan, the king of Changshan, who had long been famous in the frontier, etc.

Many old things always make people feel swaying when they hear them, and they wish they could establish them together at that time. Unfortunately, the rules and regulations of the state dynasty have become more and more perfect. In order to reduce the pressure on defense of the school, the royal family and sons have rarely entered the museum again, but have directly studied in the Biyong, which has made many people regretted losing the opportunity to be friends with the common people.

"Now, students in the supervision department are generally divided into three categories: prison, ju, and yin. The supervision test is particularly difficult, and the number of people who can enter the supervision department is only twenty or thirty years. Such handsome men are the ones who are always subject to the examination. There is no doubt that the talent of the provincial examination is as good as me, and it is common to be seen in the supervision department. There are also students who are descendants of the nobles of the state dynasty..."

Che Yin talked about the origin of these Imperial College students, especially those who were admitted to the prison, and even more admiring.

The students in the Imperial College have relatively the lowest color and varying quality. But this is understandable. The family shade system has a long history, and the state has done the best in this regard. Compared with the students in the Imperial College, the only privilege is that they can directly participate in the scientific examination without having to pass the state test, and they still have to compete fairly with the scholars in the various states.

If you don’t try, you won’t be an official, this is a pioneering act in the country. No matter how good your family’s father is, and if you inherit the title and enjoy wealth and honor, if you want to officially become an official, you must pass the examination of the state. Today’s sages personally wrote the stele of “not trying to do not serve” and the stele of “do what you learn” and other steles in the Imperial College School, to ensure that those who are in charge have their own talents.

Although the Imperial College Zhuguan Pavilion is open to the public, it is a place for academic research, and no students dare to travel here at will. After enjoying it, they left here and went straight to other famous places in Longmen. For example, Longmen Yiyuan, which worships the Lord of the Yi, and Longmen Dao, the Tianshidao where Zhushijun was preaching. Among them, the most fascinating of the students is the legendary Longmen Debate.

The Longmen debate is so famous that it is well-known among the many scholars of the State Dynasty. Not to mention the many masters and scholars of the State Dynasty preaching and interpreting the scriptures and meanings, many rules and regulations are derived from this. Just the late-comer and handsome men who can become famous in the Longmen debate have not missed the past few years.

Because of this, being able to become famous all over the world in the Longmen debate is a must-have dream of many young students, and being able to appear in the Longmen debate is even called Yuelongmen by Shiliu!

When a group of Jingzhou juren arrived here, there were already crowds of people inside and outside the Longmen debate venue. According to Che Yin's explanation, this place has always been like this, and as students from various states gathered in the sky, it has been even more noisy recently.

There are many podiums in the Longmen Debate Stadium, most of which are open air. It is a feast for students to enter this place. Because many people who are on stage are often the compilers of the scriptures they read, and have long been admired, but now they are lucky enough to see the true face and are extremely excited.

Among them, there was a podium sitting opposite each other, talking about chess and playing chess. The viewer was also calm and focused, just quietly looking at the huge chessboard made of magnets hanging in the sky. The two of them, one of the middle-aged men, looked heroic, and they were sitting opposite to each other, and the chess movement displayed on the big chessboard was slightly superior to the black chess that the teenager played.

"You are very lucky to be able to watch the chess game today!"

When he arrived here, Che Yin first glanced at the chessboard and then looked at the stage quickly. After seeing the two chess faces, his face changed suddenly, and then he was filled with excitement and said to his fellow travelers: "Who is the one who holds white? You probably are familiar with it. It's Linshui Gong Yingdan!"

Hearing this, the juren couldn't help but take a breath and looked around on tiptoe. The reason why the Linshui County Duke Ying Dan is famous is not because of his famous position. Although he is the governor of Yangwu among the Six Imperial Guards, he is the former author of "Yi Shi" and recorded famous bureaus in ancient and modern times, and is also called the saint of the chess world. Students also learn more about chess and cultivate their nature in the state, so they are naturally familiar with the name of Linshui Duke.

However, the most surprising thing for them was that the young man who played against Linshui Gong was much younger than them. He was able to not lose his advantage in the conversation with Linshui Gong and even gain a vague advantage. This was amazing!

"As for this young man, you may have heard of it or didn't know that he is Zhang Xuanzhi, the leader of our prison, known as the two mysterious people in the sky!"

When people in Jingzhou heard Che Yin’s explanation, they were either suddenly exclaiming or were still ignorant, but naturally some people explained to them.

Tianzhong Erxuan is two young men who have become famous in Tianzhong University in recent years. One of them is Xie Xuan, who comes from a famous family in the country and is also the wife of the King of Wu.

As for Zhang Xuanzhi, his background may not be as noble as Xie Xuan, but his talent is not inferior to that of Zhang. He also came from a famous family in Yangzhou, and his grandfather Gu He was once a member of the Grand Principal.

At first, it was Gu He who loved this intelligent grandson in his early years and even wanted to give one of the two precious places for his official title to Zhang Xuanzhi, the grandson, but Zhang Xuanzhi refused to go to prison with Yin, but instead participated in the prison examination and entered the Xinshi Pavilion at the top of the list.

This incident was quite sensational in the sky at that time, and the impact was that within two years, no Yinsheng was admitted to the school. The young men were really ashamed of Xunju's family under the glory of Zhang Xuan.

Looking at Zhang Xuanzhi, who was still calm and composed despite the attention of everyone on the stage, Che Yin couldn't help but sigh and turned to other fellow villagers who stretched their necks to appreciate the style of Yangzhou Junyan and said, "Zhang Xuanzhi will also take the scientific examination this year, and we may be lucky enough to be with him and in the examination room soon."

Hearing this, the juren was full of cry, and he was not in the sky, and he didn't know that the talents were abundant. When he thought of taking the same exam with such a person, even if he was a fair competition, he really couldn't raise any belief in winning.

Two days later, the scientific expedition officially began, and the people of Jingzhou also calmed down and cheered each other up, heading towards the Gongyuan on the right side of Taicheng in Luoyang City.

There are more than 50 states in the world, and the number of juren in each state may vary. However, this time, there are many candidates for the national dynasty, and even more than a dozen juren are taking the exam in the remote Jiaozhou.

As the first Daye Lecture in the scientific examination, more than 800 juren participated in the examination. This is because many juren who are arrogant about talent and are too simple to reflect their real talent and refuse to participate. However, this also provides opportunities for other students from other states.

After more than ten days of bad luck and two days of traveling in the sky, Wan Xin realized that his knowledge gap with those real prides of heaven had long been gone. He decided to win by quantity, so he naturally would not miss this scientific test.

As for other Jingzhou Juren, they mostly had this kind of thought, so they were all present. Whether they won or not, it would be good to experience the atmosphere in advance. However, their fellow villager Che Yin did not participate in this type of examination, but instead made every effort to prepare for the examination with the ranks behind and even took the exam with the talented talents in the school.

As the first common subject examination in the country, especially the great cause and etiquette, the court also attached great importance to this. Many rules and regulations will be set forth accordingly, so a minister of the Ministry of Rites was also sent to inspect the venue.

The robe-robed official sat upright in front of the tribute courtyard, looking straight at the students queuing in.

While the students were nervous, they looked at the court officials curiously. The most impressive thing was that this fourth-rank high-ranking official was a little too young. After inquiring around, they found out that his name was Huan Chong. Although he looked young, he had a rich resume in his work. He was transferred from local responsibilities and even took charge of Xiazhou.

What made the students even more speechless was that this court official named Huan Chong was from the Xinshi Pavilion, a subordinate of the Imperial College, who had previously suffered a lot of blows. After learning about this, many juren from various states who had no intention of visiting Tianzhong for many years gradually changed their minds and decided that even if they failed this time, they would stay in Tianzhong and wait for opportunities.

Perhaps it was an illusion that when Wan Xin passed by the gate of the Gongyuan, when the guards were searching, they vaguely felt the young minister of the Ministry of Rites staying on him for a long time, but before he could confirm it, he was urged by the rear to drive him into the room.

Wan Xin didn't know that when he entered the venue, Huan Chong, who was in front of the Gongyuan gate, whispered to his subordinates: "Change the hometown of the Xinmao Juren."

The subordinates were extremely efficient and transferred their academic records to the case in less than a quarter of an hour. However, Huan Chong still suppressed his curiosity and waited until the students entered the venue and the exam questions were issued before he raised his hand to open the academic records to read the student Wan Xin's resume: student Wan Xin, from Shangcang Township, Nanhe County, Jingzhou, father Wan Ming, Zu Wan Ning...

The household registration system of Daliang is quite perfect, especially the academic registration practices of students in various prefectures need to be recorded in detail for three generations. However, when Huan Chong saw the ancestor's name Wanning, his eyes suddenly shrank. His father Huan Yi was named Wanning County Male in the former Jin Dynasty, and this title was named Wanning County Male by his third brother Huan Huo after the northern expedition to Bingzhou, the western expedition to Liangzhou, and the south destruction of Chenghan, and the south, and the accumulation of merits, he was awarded the title of Wanning County Marquis.

It’s similar or coincidental, so is this one also a coincidence?

Huan Chong was full of worries. He took advantage of the inspection tour of the Juren Wan Xin exam table and lowered his head to see the ink traces left on the draft paper. His expression seemed even more solemn, and then he felt a hint of self-mockery. His eldest brother was only very knowledgeable about writing and ink. The old year enlightened him, leaving him with a habit of slow and slow brushwork that still cannot be changed. The Juren Wan Xin's brushwork is exactly the same as his!

After standing silent for a while, Huan Chong slowly retreated.

Although he missed the old brother who had lost his name, he was not very urgent. After all, he wanted to live in the present. He was no longer the drooping boy who used to regard his elder brother's eyes as a sky above his head.

Although their Huan family is far from being a famous family in the country, their three brothers have accumulated merits as the commander-in-chief. After taking office in another state, he also returned to the center. Because the Minister of Rites Xie Shang passed away unexpectedly, the ministry's affairs were urgently adjusted and appointed as the Minister of Rites. It is also considered to be a priority for both internal and external forces. It can be said that it has wiped out the decay of the old year.

In the past year, the elder brother Li Luo and the third brother made proper arrangements, but probably the self-esteem was still the cause. After Li Luo, the elder brother disappeared. This time, he met the young man Wan Xin and Huan Chong learned about his final destination.

After returning to his seat, Huan Chong turned on the student Wan Xin's school registration. Seeing his father following the army to attack Shu, he gained merit and was appointed as a village official, the corner of his mouth curled up. Then he closed the book and ordered the person to put it back in his original place. Since the two moves were fine, there was no need to disturb each other again.

In addition to the basic meanings and calculations of the scriptures, the main test questions for the Daye Li are the rituals and rules of this dynasty, which are relatively difficult. Especially for some children who were influenced by the young people from Luozhong, they were even more casual. Because the rankings were not high, more than 800 people took the exam, but they won only 15 people.

After the students handed over the papers and left the venue, the Chongwenguan clerk went there to copy them on the spot, and then the Huan Chong and the imperial guards were sealed and sent to Taichung to Taichung. The Ministry of Rites, Taichang and Secretary were reviewed overnight.

On the afternoon of the next day, the result was already out, but the censorate had to enter the venue to take out the original and copied volumes for review. On the third day, the official listing was announced outside the Gongyuan Gate.

Before that, Huan Chong had already learned the result and knew that the son of the old friend named Wan Xin had not been listed. Although he was a little disappointed, he was not surprised. The saint's heart was clear and clear. The reason why he placed the great cause and ceremony in the first scientific examination was a comprehensive consideration. It was also considered to give the children of the nobles a visit. The opportunity for the juren from other provinces was still in the future.

When the Daye Literature List was announced, the second third history exam had already started. Even if the students failed, they were not in the mood to make more sad and happy, and they went directly to the new examination room.

After the following several scientific examinations, Huan Chong did not need to take over, and other officials from the temple came forward. However, he did not give up his attention to Wan Xin. He waited until the seventh National History Department. Finally, when he saw Wan Xin's name in the list, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and could not help but feel a little proud.

The climax of this scientific examination occurred in the scholarly subject in early May. By this time, all the subjects had already been completed and had a result. The scholarly subject is recognized as the most difficult subject in this year and the smallest number of subjects. Sometimes Liu Shaoxian has long meant this subject, and other scholars are willing to take the final chance whether they win or not.

The difficulty is high, so there are preferential treatment. Unlike other tribute scholars who have been awarded in other quotations, the future is still uncertain. The three candidates of the Scholars have already been appointed, and that is, they are friends of the King of Wu. King Shen Luo of Wu had already added a ceremony to the crown prince, and as early as the beginning of the year, the saint had already issued an imperial edict on the Taiwan office to officially sign the King of Wu as the crown prince this fall and enter the Eastern Palace. In other words, this time the Scholars are to select good ministers for the crown prince.

On the day of the scholar's examination, the warnings inside and outside the tribute school increased by several times. Of course, the candidates also flocked to the test. More than 1,100 juren from various prefectures and prefectures, and more than 900 students were exempted from the Imperial College for examination. Before the show started, the ceremony was submitted to the Ministry of Ceremony to submit the examination to the highest level of more than 2,000 students.

It is easy to stand out among more than 2,000 candidates who are already the best in the world and grab those three precious places, but this does not stop the candidates from being enthusiastic.

When all candidates were admitted to the tribute school and the exam questions were put on the case, the test papers were unfolded and the questions were read down. The whole tribute school heard a chill sound. Many candidates only sighed in their hearts that the scholarly subject really lived up to the title of national scholarly subject, and the single question paper was already daunting.

Among them, the difficulty of calculating the classics is far greater than that of previous subjects. What is even more serious is the five questions in a row. The questions involved are pragmatic and extensive, governing the people, governing the government, striking the border, economy, and all industries. They all seek to speak in a good way and be able to grasp the current problems. This is a test of the talent ability in all aspects!

It is unknown how everyone answers questions, but it is obvious that few people can maintain a calm attitude when entering the venue.

The court also attached great importance to the scholarly subjects, which are the top priority in this scientific examination. It is said that in addition to the three departments, even the three high officials and His Majesty the Emperor made a review and retrial. Of course, the details of the forbidden garden are unknown, but after the scholarly subjects, it took a full ten days before the list was made public.

In the end, the scholar won the three men, namely Xi Chao, son of Dongguan Gong Xi Yin, Yanzhou, Zhang Xuanzhi, Yangzhou, and Guo Yu, Guo Yu. No matter how famous these three men were before, they would be famous after this day!

After the list of scholars' scientific examinations is completed, it means that this scientific examination will be officially completed. After a three-day adjustment period, all subjects will participate in the palace examination held in the Mingde Hall of the Forbidden Zhong, which is personally presided over by His Majesty the current emperor.

This imperial examination, a total of thirteen regular subjects were selected, with a total of 2,321 candidates taking the exam. In the end, 603 tribute scholars were included in each subject list, and the proportion of the list has exceeded 4 to 1, and it is the largest number of talents to be won since the founding of the State Council.

Based on the principle of not being dismissed on the list, even if the imperial examination did not go further and gain the honor of being a Jinshi, all tribute scholars could enter Chongwenguan, and then pass the selection of temples in various Taiwan provinces and successively join the Daliang ruling order. As for the imperial examination, they would go directly to the eighth-rank waiting list of Hongwenguan, investigate and join the official position, and embark on a brilliant future.

In fact, there are many complaints between the government and the country about this scientific expedition, mainly focusing on the complexity of science and overflowing. However, under the arbitrary principle of today's saints, even if there are some complaints, they will not stop the major events from going on.

His Majesty the Emperor is not unaware of all kinds of comments and satirical comments, but he still has reasons for this. He has been preparing for the reform of the imperial examinations and the reform of the imperial examinations and the reform of the imperial examinations has been in this world. Even after the founding of the new Daliang Dynasty, it has been laid for ten years, and in recent years it has been frequently used to lay the foundation for the imperial examinations and to draw scholars.

Now the big thing has finally been done. Although the seal and system are invented, it seems to have many problems, which are far from the system of the Ming and Qing dynasties, he faces a wasteland, and there is no collective collective of officials and gentry in the Ming and Qing dynasties to respond to government orders.

Moreover, those names that seem to be complex and complex but do not have the necessary qualifications to open a subject are the essence of the origin stage of the imperial examination. Although printing technology must be used in this world to gradually spread knowledge, in such a short period of time, compared with the complete inheritance of the children of the old clans and efficient learning, the children of the Han Sang have no advantage!

This can be seen from the most strictly academic subjects recognized among the various subjects that Xi Chao has studied Xinshiji Pavilion for a long time and Zhang Xuanzhi's family has a background in his studies. Guo Yu, who did not belong to the old clan of Zhongzhou, was a disciple of Guo He, a great scholar. Looking at the world, how many children of the Han concubines can have such an opportunity?

If there were no seemingly unnecessary redundant subjects, many juren from other provinces were excited and disheartened and failed the exam, how much confidence could they have left for this so-called imperial examination?

The city gate was built with wood to gain trust from others. Even at the beginning of the founding of the country, His Majesty the Emperor laid off power in the provinces and states, and the power was placed in the county, and even blocked the way to share political resources, which was to provide these tribute scholars and Jinshi with enough promotion positions to suppress the restoration of the aristocratic families. If you have nothing to do, what is the use of recruiting scholars?

Of course, this level of consideration is far from what the current Luo Middle School students can guess. In the next three days, they were each immersed in an atmosphere of joy or sorrow.

It was not until three days later that more than 600 new Kogongmen gathered in Luoyang City and took a bus along Zhuque Street to the center of Taiwan Province.

On this day, Bi Ji, a villager on both sides of Zhuque Street, looked at the new Kogongs on the bus with his eyes burning, and thunder burst out on both sides of the street. Those praises and praises kept pouring into his ears, making the new Kogongs happy and unable to defeat themselves. If it weren't for the need to maintain their etiquette, I was afraid that I would have been unable to help but join the joy of the people.

Three people took the bus together. Wan Xin was in the rear of the convoy. The two of them in the same car seemed to be so excited that their faces were flushed. What made Wan Xin curious was that on his left was a very obvious appearance in the same year, and he couldn't help but look around frequently.

The young man also felt Wan Xin's gaze, and was not ashamed and annoyed. He was also more open-minded than usual. He only grinned at Wan Xin, "Fu Jian from Shanzhou, born in Di, and admired the summer."

Seeing this, Wan Xin hurriedly bowed back to the court. He did not doubt what he said in the same year. Their Chinese history subjects were examined in detail, and it would be rare to have won the national history without sincere admiration for the achievements of the country.
To be continued...
