Four lanterns carrying the "Government Courtyard, Idle people retreated" led the candidates into the city.

This time I had no experience. Ye Chunqiu was not as familiar with the county examination as he was when he was in the county examination. He just followed the crowd, then he checked his true self, checked his guarantee, and was led to the mountain gate to sing the name, and then saluted to the prefect.

The sky was too dark, and even with the fires rising everywhere, Ye Chunqiu could only bow to the prefect from afar. He could not see his face clearly. However, when Ye Chunqiu was bowing, the prefect yawned.

The prefect was busy with all kinds of things, so he was injured. He looked lazy, well... it must be.

After a few words in his heart, Ye Chunqiu took the exam and found his place.

The examination room in the prefecture exam is different from the county exam. The county exam has only one place to sit, but the palace exam has a place. This is because the examination needs to take four days and stay here for three nights, so the examination room is bigger, but it is just barely enough to accommodate.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are provided in the examination room. Ye Chunqiu started grinding without slowing down.

With a brain, you can be lazy, but you still have to practice grinding running script. Of course, after so many days of hard practice, Ye Chunqiu's calligraphy is not only upright and powerful, but also has a bit of charm.

It’s not easy... Only by enduring hardships can one become the best... Ye Chunqiu sighed in his heart that after so many days of hard work, after seeing the results, Ye Chunqiu felt deeply the true meaning of diligence in the mountains of books.

Sometimes it is difficult for him to imagine how difficult it would be to stand out among the hundreds of thousands of candidates in Jiangnan without his brain and relying on his hard study.

The wisdom of the ancients was never lower than that of the two-life self, let alone those who worked hard to the extreme were even more extraordinary.

After whining, Ye Chunqiu gave up his distracting thoughts.

It didn't take long before someone raised his sign and came out. The test questions were released, and it was getting brighter. Then the lights were lit, and Ye Chunqiu saw the big four words "The Tao is not far away from people".

Ye Chunqiu was not idle. He searched for the explanation and learned that this sentence came from "Doctrine of the Mean". The original text is: Tao is not far away from people. People are Tao and far away from people, and they cannot be Tao.

Tao is the truth. If people want to pursue the truth, they cannot be separated from the crowd. To put it bluntly, they cannot be separated from the crowd.

In a very simple sentence, the question is also normal. This prefect is lazy enough to just ask such a question.

Ye Chunqiu was just smiling. What he was in a dilemma now was which article he should use. In his brain, there were as many as 40 related eight-part essays. Because during the Chongzhen period, this question was the one that was tested in one exam. From the top scholar to the third-class Jinshi, all of these articles were included. Well, I don’t know anything anyway, so I usually get the articles of the top scholar.

It was easy for Ye Chunqiu to do the questions, but the exam was a torment. He started writing the essay leisurely. After finishing writing, he found that he was doing nothing and was tortured. He had to wait for three days.

I waited boredly at night. It was hot summer, but it was not cold at night, but there were a lot of mosquitoes. The bedding was distributed in the examination room, which was cleaner than Ye Chunqiu imagined. Originally, he didn't want to sleep with a quilt, but because of this damn mosquito, he had to cover himself up, and he was sweating profusely.

I couldn't sleep until the sky was light, and I could barely fall asleep. But I couldn't take a shower here and my whole body was smelly. It didn't take long before the gong rang out. The next thing I had to take was a strategy theory. This thing was not difficult. It was just a criticism of the current situation. Ningbo was close to the sea, and the prefect was very honest and the question was very simple, just to ask the candidates to analyze the pros and cons of maritime affairs.

If someone else is replaced, you will have to be shocked. This is a rare opportunity to show your talent. How could you not know the pros and cons of maritime affairs in two lifetimes? I want to open the sea and do maritime trade... These fools in the court will ruin the country and the people, I want to...

If you want a piece of yarn, go to the streets.

Ye Chunqiu did not have the turtle spirit of a time traveler, so he would not be stupid enough to really study any maritime affairs with the prefect.

Generally, you need to be careful when asking you to criticize the pros and cons of the court. The best way to answer is: 'Since the leader asks me to criticize, I must give my opinions seriously. Leader, your biggest problem is not to pay attention to your health, focus on work, often forget to eat and sleep, not pay attention to the combination of work and rest. You often do not abide by rules and regulations, often go to work early, postpone get off work, and even work without authorization on holidays. You do not care about your family, focus on your career, and do not care enough about your family and family. If you do not control yourself like this, I will be angry.'

This is probably the same with this policy. Ye Chunqiu found some information from Guang's brain, then closed his eyes, silently wrote a draft, and then answered the questions carefully.

Some relevant policy theories were found in Guangming. With this template, it was just a little "criticism".

The questions raised are naturally not sensational. They are nothing more than polishing them on the basis of today's maritime affairs. Whether you think this is the doctrine of the mean or the cynical thought, Ye Chunqiu doesn't care about the national economy and people's livelihood, it is too far away from his own little kid.

By the fourth day of the exam, Ye Chunqiu was almost collapsed, and the other candidates in the examination room were even more miserable. They all looked like beggars, with disheveled hair and exhausted.

Eight essays, strategy and postscripts are all the way through the question. When the gong sounds, someone shouts: "Students are waiting, don't make noise."

This is to let everyone put down their pen, put their test paper aside, and then sit upright and wait for the paper to be collected.

After finishing the paper, the quiet tribute court suddenly became an uproar, as if it was the Caishikou: "Oh, how did you solve the problem?"

"This is over, I'm the one who comes to the question..."

Ye Chunqiu couldn't wait to pack up his things, quickly left the tribute courtyard, and hurried back to the inn. Huang Jing happened to have just come in. Huang Jing smiled and said, "Chunqiu, have you finished the exam? How?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "It's okay."

When Huang Jing heard the word Shangke, he did not comment. He just smiled and stroked his beard and encouraged him: "I have read your county exam article. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely win. After all, you are young. If you really lose your hooves, you don't have to regret it. Besides, you have been studying in Hedong for more than half a month," Huang Jing seemed to want to make Ye Chunqiu happy: "That's where my brother studied. He is a second-class Jinshi. With his literary talent, he will not be much worse."
