Following the yamen servant's words, the dragon gate of the government examination slowly opened.
The crowded candidates were separated by the yamen who was in charge of order in the examination room. These candidates were lined up in groups of thirty people, waiting for the searchers to search and enter.
This posture is similar to that of passing through security checks when catching the high-speed rail in later generations.
The difference may be that the number of people doing the security check may be smaller than this, and the searches are not as strict as these.
After experiencing the inspections of county examination officers, Huang Tinghui knew how strict the inspections in the imperial examinations were.
It can be said that the county trial search is strict enough, but it is far from strict as it is now.
When Huang Tinghui saw the prefectural examination, he realized that compared with the prefectural examination, the county examination was simple enough.
Looking around, Huang Tinghui could only see the candidates taking the government examination, standing in front of the dragon gate one by one.
Under Souzi's supervision, these candidates took off their clothes and shoes one by one.
In front of the imperial examination, scholars have no face.
It's easy to take the exam, but you have to go through a lot of searching.
If you fail the search, you will not be eligible to take the exam.
Simply taking off his clothes and shoes was not enough. Under Souzi's urging, the scholar even had to loosen his bun.
Those searchers, with a serious and responsible attitude, carefully inspected the disheveled scholars, and they did not let go of any trace!
After all, if there is a major case of fraud in this exam, they may lose more than just their skin.
That's something that can make your head fall off.
After checking the hair, these searchers took out the pens, inks, paper and inkstones to be used for this exam from the examination basket, and searched them carefully one by one.
Based on their many years of experience, they can tell whether there is any entrainment in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone just by taking a shower.
During the search, the keen-eyed Souzi saw an examinee trembling uncontrollably.
As an experienced searcher, he certainly knows that generally speaking, this kind of person is the most likely to commit fraud.
So when it was the scholar's turn, Souzi immediately started searching carefully.
However, the candidate's coat and inner clothes were all taken off, but nothing unusual was noticed.
Is it my own misunderstanding?
However, Souzi firmly believed that he would not make such a stupid mistake, so he checked it carefully again.
In the end, this Souzi suddenly realized.
"Open your mouth, open your mouth!"
"Hiding something in his mouth, this kid is really cruel, he even thought of such a method!"
"No wonder I didn't check it!" Souzi's eyes were piercing, and he saw through the examinee's tricks.
It turned out that the examinee tied the cheating paper with a silk thread and swallowed it, and one end of the silk thread was fixed on his teeth.
Once he entered the examination room, he vomited out the cheating paper and could cheat.
Methods like this can also be thought of, but they are not used in the right way.
Souzi has never seen such strong winds and waves, how could such a trick be hidden from him?
"Give me a chance, give me a chance!"
"No, no, I want to take part in this government examination!"
The candidate yelled at the top of his lungs, but no one sympathized with him.
At this time, Souzi glanced at the crowd and said, "Dear gentlemen, the imperial examination will test your true talents and learning!"
"I have been conducting searches for more than ten to twenty years, but what kind of entrainment method have I not seen?"
"Dear gentlemen, even if it is for the sake of your future imperial examination, please don't cheat!"
"I have issued repeated edicts that the gentleman who cheated this time will no longer be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of his life. Please think twice!"
"Should I choose to give up this imperial examination, or should I be found out and be unable to take the imperial examination for the rest of my life?"
"Young gentlemen, make your own choice!" After Souzi's words fell, several anxious scholars covered their faces with their long sleeves and ran away.
They did not want to be found out on the spot with the items they had cheated on, which would make them laugh and lose their qualifications for the imperial examination.
However, there are still some people who do not believe in evil, and they think they are hiding well enough.
Those searchers also found the cheating items one by one, and some people fainted on the spot.
Then he was thrown out like a dog by the guards.
After all, they no longer need to be in awe of scholars who have lost their qualifications for the imperial examination.
The search progress is difficult, but at least the search is completed.
After Huang Tinghui put on his clothes and went through the identification process, he stepped towards the examination booth.
Following the prompts, Huang Tinghui found his examination room and sat down.
Different from the county examination, the grade of Hangcheng Prefecture's prefecture examination is much higher.
Each candidate has an examination room, and each candidate answers the test paper in his or her own examination room.
This is probably why the examinee just now dared to swallow the paper used for cheating, and then took the opportunity to take it out after entering the examination room.
After all, there is indeed a lot of room for maneuver in the government examination.
However, correspondingly, the intensity of search inspection in the prefectural examination is not comparable to that in the county examination.
Huang Tinghui sat quietly in the examination room for a while, only to hear the sound of the cloud board.
Then several officials handed out papers with test questions printed on them.
here we go!
Huang Tinghui took a deep breath. Compared with the county master Chen Sizhi's care for him during the county examination.
This time it can be said that Huang Tinghui took the exam without any tricks.
When he took the county examination, Huang Tinghui had only studied for less than two months, so the county boss Chen Sizhi took care of him.
It has been more than four months since I took the government examination.
This time Huang Tinghui has to rely entirely on himself at least on the classics and meanings.
However, Huang Tinghui did not panic at all. After all, in the devil's training, Huang Tinghui's training time in these four months was definitely more than others' one or two years.
Who told Huang Tinghui’s teacher to be Li Baichong?
And who makes Huang Tinghui's photographic memory?
Under such circumstances, couldn't Li Baichong squeeze Huang Tinghui to unleash his potential?
Although this method is quite tiring and similar to the cramming teaching of later generations.
But Huang Tinghui doesn’t have that much time to study the meaning of the classics, so this is Huang Tinghui’s best choice.
After passing the provincial examination, Huang Tinghui had plenty of time to consolidate his basic knowledge.
And this was also the plan Li Baichong had made for Huang Tinghui early in the morning.
Huang Tinghui unfolded the test paper. He looked at the test paper and found that it was indeed a question about classics and meaning.
"The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and adhering to the ultimate goodness."
This sentence comes from Zengzi's "The Great Learning". Translated in vernacular, it means that the purpose of "The Great Learning" is to promote noble virtues, to care for the people, and to achieve the highest state of goodness.
Therefore, Huang Tinghui only needs to grasp the points of "virtue", "love for the people" and "the highest state of goodness" and give full play to them.
After thinking about this, Huang Tinghui had an idea to solve the problem.
After clarifying the basic ideas in his mind, Huang Tinghui smiled knowingly.
He is confident about this government examination!
I saw Huang Tinghui pick up the brush, dip it in ink, and drop it on the white paper.
"The virtue of a saint lies in the people, virtue..."
In just a moment, a magnificent article appeared on the white paper.
