Two hundred and fifty two chapters

 After hearing the news that it was delayed for a quarter of an hour, the candidates were happy and regretful.

However, this quarter of an hour passed quickly, the gantry opened, and the candidates entered the venue in sequence.

Zhang Yue couldn't help looking into the distance.

Fortunately, Guo Lin finally stepped on the point and arrived in a hurry, but he was in a mess with rain, snow and mud.

Guo Lin was about to explain to Zhang Yue, but Zhang Yue said, "I won't say much, let's talk about it when I enter the exam room."

Guo Lin nodded immediately and finally said, "You are worried about it with tiring."

Finally, the group stepped into the Gongyuan, but said that in front of the Gongyuan, the gatekeeper glanced at several people, and then the people from the bookstore came up to verify their true nature.

The provincial examination stipulates that in order to prevent candidates from asking for gunmen or impersonating a citizen, three people must be covered by insurance.

Zhang Yue, Huang Lu and Sun Guo had previously settled a security contract. After Sun Guo failed the exam, Zhang Yue and Huang Lu immediately invited Guo Lin.

The three of them immediately went to the front door, and the shop's identity was confirmed by the person in the bookstore, and then handed the number ticket to the gatekeeper for inspection. They passed the first level and let them enter the dragon gate.

As for the second level, after entering the Longmen, the officers and soldiers here must conduct a search and inspection.

The search is generally targeted at candidates from various subjects such as Guo Lin, so it is not necessary for Jinshi.

However, during the Zhenzong Dynasty, a court official reported that in recent years, the Jinshi had been in a lot of work and was not practical in learning, so he copied ancient and modern literary fu and was involved in the test.

In the end, the Jinshi exams were also subject to inspection. The court stipulated that except for the official "Yunlu", there should be no books to be taken. The officials in the gate and the shop inspectors were allowed to be aware of it. If they were found to be insulated, they would be helped out immediately.

Kuangjiajian said it very well, but it is not a loss to the official words.

Zhang Yueming, this infiltration is really helpful for the Jinshi exam.

However, there are still many candidates who are not quick enough to write poetry and essays with tools such as poetry bags. They are used to it on weekdays and cannot correct it for a while, so they are brought into the examination room.

When Zhang Yue learned poetry and essays from Chen Xiang before, he also used poetry bags, but he has changed this problem since he has become proficient in his writing recently.

He opened the examination box and had nothing else except a rhyme book. The officials would let him and Huang Lu enter the examination room without carefully searching.

As for Guo Lin, in addition to opening the examination box to check, he also needs to search himself, which is a strict search.

Zhang Yue, Huang Lu and Guo Linbee went to see the picture of the examination room, and then entered the tribute school after identifying the direction.

However, it shows that the Qing Dynasty imperial examination and ritual examinations were specially given to the tribute school, but the imperial examinations were not mature in the early Northern Song Dynasty, so the places of the tribute school were also changed.

The earliest tribute courts were sent to the Southern Court of the Ministry of Rites of the Shangshu Province. For example, the old tribute of Liang Taizu Zhu Wen of Xingguofang and the old tribute of Shu Meng Chang, both of which were used as the tribute court of the Ministry of Rites of the Shangshu Province. Later, they were sent to temples such as Wucheng King Temple and Kaibao Temple. It was tragic that Kaibao Temple was always used as the Kaifeng Prefecture Examination or the Imperial College. The first time it became the tribute court of the Ministry of Rites was during the Xining period. As a result, the only provincial examination was the only time it was the provincial examination.

Finally, when he arrived at the time of Emperor Huizong of Song, he sent the tribute court to the Imperial College.

The tribute court for the examination is now changed from the Wucheng King Temple. Some officials have always said that this is not very consistent, but they just keep going.

But I have to say that this examination environment is really in the sky and underground compared to the Kaibao Temple examination room.

When Zhang Yue and Huang Lu arrived at the examination room, he bowed to the officials of the chief officer Wang Gui, Fan Zhen and Wang Chou.

Zhang Yue, the three big shots, did not recognize any of them, but Fan Zhen met him when he sent Fan Zuyu to the Imperial Academy.

The old man in the middle is Wang Gui.

There was a prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty, also known as Wang Gui. The other party was the grandson of Wang Sengbian. He came from Wang's family in Wuwan and was a branch of Wang's family in Taiyuan.

This Wang Gui was born in a good family. He came from the Wang family in Huayang. His great-grandfather became an official when he was the King of Shu Meng Chang, and later surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

Then the family loyally defected to the Song Dynasty and became officials and became officials and many famous officials and Jinshi.

Wang Gui is also a great man. When he passed by Yangzhou, he left a story with Chen Shengzhi, Wang Anshi and Han Qi.

He was the same year as Wang Anshi, but his career was smoother. He is now a Hanlin bachelor, and the court's rituals were mostly made by him.

After Zhang Yue bowed to several examiners, he came to his examination room - a long corridor. Many candidates who arrived first sat in the corridor. Each candidate had a white curtain to prevent the left and right from whispering and communicating with each other.

It was cold and the ground was taking an outdoor exam. You can imagine how it felt. Zhang Yue came to his seat in the corridor, but after the curtain was a table, with a felt mat underneath, facing the courtyard, scattered snowflakes flying.

Tea soup was burning in the courtyard, and officials served it to the candidates one by one. The central lobby was also called the Capital Hall, also known as the Purple Hall, and is now burning incense.

Ouyang Xiu wrote a poem when he presided over the second year of Jiayou.

The purple palace burns incense and blows lightly, and the heroes are sitting in the morning in the courtyard. The soldiers are brave and brave, and the sound of nibbling leaves is written on the spring.

This is what it means.

After sitting down, Zhang Yue took out the leather cushion from the examination box and spread another layer on the felt cushion.

This felt pad is just a thin layer of single mat, so how can it protect you from the cold, so a layer of leather mat must be added.

The Tang and Song people complained in the imperial examination field, "How to treat the scholars with a single seat?" This is what it means. The cold felt in the couplet is just warm. Anyway, it is quite rude to go to other people's houses to sit on the single seat for guests.

Generally, another layer of mat is required, just like "sitting on the kang" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Candidates often complain about the poor exam, "single seats", "cold weather", etc., and the poor environment in the exam room, as well as the words "praise clothes and makeup are covered with dust" and so on.

Zhang Yue put on the leather cushion, and soon the official brought a bowl of hot tea soup. Zhang Yue said thank you, grabbed the money from the examination box and stuffed it into the hands of the person. After accepting it, the official smiled and said, "There are pepper soup and perilla soup, what do you want to drink?"

Zhang Yue said: "Let's perilla soup."

It was very cold. Zhang Yue raised a bowl and filled a bowl of dried ginger and tea soup to his stomach, which reduced a lot of coldness on his body.

After a while, the examination officer issued the printed papers submitted by the candidates before, and then presented the test questions.

This is the first poem and essay in four provincial trials.

Poetry and essays are at the top of the scene because of his top priority among the four scenes.

The most important poem and essay is essay.

But the method of examining Fu is also changing.

Before the Tang Dynasty to the Jiayou period of the Song Dynasty, the format of Fu was restricted. For example, the official rhyme was limited to the eight characters, and there were rules for how to write, how to change the rhyme, and how to involve it.

More stringent examiners need to "four flats and four tiles". If there is "five flats and three tiles", they will be reduced to the next level.

When talking about poetry and essays, the model essays belong to "Muji Fu", which is based on the rhyme of "this is invincible, so it can be chirped first", and is written in the format of "pingxiongpingxiongpingxiongpingxiongpingxiongpingxiong".

Before Jiayou, most of the candidates had to use this test paper as a model for their studies.

However, after Ouyang Xiu presided over the imperial examination, Ouyang Xiu advocated the way of worshipping literature and hated the "speech and rhythm disease".

Therefore, Ouyang Xiu advocated that the style of fu can be as plain as a letter, and the most important thing is to say something.

In the second year of Jiayou, he applied this reform to the provincial examination that year.

As a result, after the exam, Ouyang Xiu was besieged by the Tai students. However, the facts proved that Ouyang Xiu was correct. Jiayou's second-year Jinshi list was the highest in the imperial examination in 1,000 years.

In the fourth year of Jiayou, Ouyang Xiuwei, the chief examiner of the palace examination, once again insisted on this standard of valuation.

Now that it is the sixth year of Jiayou, Wang Gui is appointed as the chief examiner.

Wang Gui and Ouyang Xiu co-chaired the provincial examination in the second year of Jiayou, and were also Ouyang Xiu's die-hard political allies, so they must still firmly support Ouyang Xiu.

Therefore, Zhang Yue measured it before the exam, and it is of course the best to write fu in the four-level four-level and four-level rhyme pattern.

However, it is difficult to write articles that include slant, rhyme, eloquence and thorough reasoning in the exam room. It is difficult to completely take into account the three.

If you take into account the whole story and write an article like a wooden chicken, you will be a great man among the great people.

Therefore, for Zhang Yue, there must be some choices, or even seeking a second.

Abandon the four flats and four obliques, choose the rhyme of the characters, reason, and use the three to choose two as the provincial trial fu.

Of course, Jiayou's previous literary style was to choose tone and rhyme, but not reasoning, so he would be like Liu Ji to get bleeding.

Of course, there are all candidates who don’t believe in evil, but you need to know that eggs cannot hit stones. Didn’t Liu Ji change his name to Liu Hui now?

The title was immediately put on the card.

The title of the fu is "Kim Jae-yong Fu".

The fu rhyme is that "the metal is in good governance, so I want to cast it into a tool".

After reading the title, Zhang Yue learned that the title came from Dong Zhongshu, the original text was "The upper transforms the lower and the lower follows the upper, just like the mud in Jun, only what the Zhen does; just what the gold is in the molten state, only what the smel is in the molten state, only what the smelton is in the molten state.

The whole title discusses the meaning of this article "Kim's mobilization".

This question makes the bigger the Zhang unexpectedly, the general title is based on the Six Classics, followed by the official history.

This question is a bit biased, but although it is a bit biased, the title is easy to understand. I have never read the biography of Dong Zhongshu in Han Dynasty and wrote one or two principles.

Then there is the fu rhyme of "Gold is in good governance, so I want to make a tool".

This fu rhyme is officially given.

The whole fu is divided into eight paragraphs.

The first paragraph uses the word "Jin" as the rule, the second paragraph uses the word "Zai" as the rhyme, and the last eighth paragraph ends with the word "Qi".

After seeing the question, Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn’t get too far, but how to do it depends on his own level.

Of course, if this fu is well written, it can be said that it is not difficult to use these eight characters to rhyme, but if you need to be bound by the four flats and four oblique formats, it will not only be for Zhang Yue, but also for most candidates present in the Jinshi exam, which is even more difficult to achieve this step.

As for literary talent, it is even more unpredictable.

Just like Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of Tengwang" and Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower Inscriptions", it is hard to say who is better than that, but when you get the imperial examination room for Jiayou for six years, the examiner will definitely choose the Yueyang Tower Inscriptions.

Thinking of this, the official brought Zhang Yue a second bowl of tea soup.

Zhang Yue still stuffed a handful of money to the other party, then put the paper into an oil cloth bag, drinking tea and thinking about how to write a fu.

In this moment, Zhang Yue had already drawn up a general framework, which was to use argument as a fu and to discuss politics and reasoning as the main point. Among them, the third rhyme to the seventh rhyme are all filled with arguments.

We are winning by eloquent discussions, without following the literary and graphic rules.

Thinking of this, after Zhang Yue drank the second bowl of tea, he immediately picked up his pen and whispered ink to brew it on the manuscript paper.

Ps: The provincial examination tutelage in the sixth year of Jiayou has been lost. After selecting it for a long time, he selected Fan Zhongyan’s Jin Jae-yong’s tutelage as the title.
