Chapter 166: Township Exam
When the dawn was just beginning to emerge, the entrance of Zhejiang Gongyuan was already full of sedan chairs. The provincial examination was different from the minor examination. At least the invigilator procedures were many times more stringent than before.
The main examination of the provincial examination is naturally Zhao Dixue of this province. Unless the imperial court suddenly attaches great importance to Zhejiang's provincial examination, it will not be sent to Hanlin editors as the chief examination. At the same time, the provincial governor's department also sent officials, named:
The promotion officials mainly maintain the order of the examination room. At the same time, there are also the so-called supervisory officers who inspected the Zhejiang Supervisory Commission. The Zhejiang Supervisory Commission sent officials as supervisors, and the county magistrates also last night.
At that time, they had arrived and all served as fellow examiners.
A provincial examination is equivalent to bringing all the officials from all over the province together, from schooling, administration, imperial envoys, and procuratorial officials to county magistrates from various prefectures and counties, and a large group of officials gathered together here
The Gongyuan, which accommodates thousands of people, met and announced the test questions. Zhao Tixue repeated the examination rules formulated during the Emperor Taizu, and then gave an order to officially start the exam.
The sound of cannons sounded, and the gate of the tribute school finally opened. As the examinees were instructed, they had already appeared in every corner of the examination room. They moved chairs and sat in a solemn manner. The exam was going on for a whole day, and there were three games in total. The candidates were busy.
In fact, these examiners are also troubled by it. Although they are usually five or six, they are the procurator of a government official and the county magistrate, but when they come here, they are not even qualified to go to Minglun Hall to rest, so they can only show off outside.
When it is sunny, if it rains, you still have to patrol the exam in the rain.
After that, the gate of the Gongyuan opened, and hundreds of students came in with the Lan. County Magistrate Su, who was also a patrol, held his hands behind his back and leisurely shuttled between the examination room, watching the roll names, searching, and queuing in line.
The candidates who entered the tribute school entered one after another. If they saw the students from this county, the magistrate Su would smile at him. As for other counties, they naturally had no good looks. People are all protecting their own children.
If a person can pass the exam, it is a matter of honor.
However, County Magistrate Su's eyes flashed, but he was searching for something. Finally, he saw a familiar figure and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After searching, the man also saw the magistrate Su County Magistrate, and with Kaolan in his hand, he walked towards the magistrate Su very recklessly.
County Magistrate Su couldn't help but frown. You know, the candidates who have obtained their license plates should not walk around at will, and they cannot talk to the examiner. It can be said that this guy is really arrogant enough and he actually walked towards him directly. So, on the other side, one is here.
The examiner in the prison noticed this situation and was about to stop drinking, but after recognizing the candidate, his face became strange, so he deliberately turned his face aside and pretended that he had seen nothing.
It was Xu Qian who came. Xu Qian changed into a new dress, carried the huge Kao Lan, walked to the county magistrate Su and said, "Good county magistrate Su."
County Magistrate Su couldn't help but smile bitterly, and had to raise his face and said, "What do you think you are saying, why didn't you fall behind?"
Xu Qian said: "Sir, you have prepared everything you need to prepare. Everything is ready, but you only need the east wind."
County Magistrate Su shook his head and smiled bitterly at him, "Has you already attracted this east wind? Forget it, take a good exam. If you pass the exam, the county will definitely have to eat a glass of water and wine."
Xu Qian smiled and said goodbye to County Magistrate Su. Today, he was calm. What is needed for the exam is psychological quality. Many people with outstanding literary talent usually write articles, but when it comes to the exam, they always
Not ideal is a problem of psychological quality.
Now Xu Qian is an old man. He calmly found his examination room. After he sat in, a servant came to lock the number door. This exam is actually similar to squatting the number. No matter who you are, you are the son of a general and minister.
Or maybe it is a poor family, if you want to have some enterprising intentions, you have to stay in this examination room obediently.
Xu Qian was bored and waited for the question to be drawn, and happened to see a line of words engraved on the test table, saying: "In the year of Yichou, Wang Zi'an answered the paper here."
Xu Qian can't figure out what year it was, but when he saw the words on it, Xu Qian couldn't help but want to scold: "If you have no quality, you are still a scholar. No wonder people in later generations have this bad habit.
It’s all taught by words and deeds like you.”
The words on this were obviously deliberately smeared. I thought it was discovered by the servants in the Gongyuan, so they tried their best to wipe them off, but they were carved too deeply, and they were still particularly eye-catching. Xu Qian cursed in his heart, and suddenly felt that his sense of justice exploded.
I took the scissors from the Kaolan and engraved a sentence under this line of small characters, saying: "In the autumn of the second year of Jiajing, Xu Qian, a student, watched senior Wang's words here, and was moved, saying: Alas! Scholars are like this,
The etiquette of the Chinese people is full of funerals.”
After writing, Xu Qian smiled. This little prank made his exam career a little more interesting. At this time, the exam questions were finally released, and the question said: There are many people who have it.
Although I was given the Enco exam this year, the question was much more difficult than in previous years. After reading this question, Xu Qian was stunned for a moment. He couldn't think of where this sentence came from. After recalling it carefully, he finally got some impression.
The original sentence of this sentence is: There is a great way to make money, there are many people who produce it, and few people who eat it; those who do it are frivolous and those who use it are comfortable, and then wealth will be sufficient. The title is taken from four of the sentences and only writes about "生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生
There are many people, and if you have poor memory, you may not even understand the topic.
At this point, Xu Qian couldn't help but feel glad. Fortunately, he has a good memory and a solid foundation. Otherwise, just such tricks to get a question, would be enough to kill himself.
He meditated on Cheng Zhu's answer to this sentence, then pondered, picked up his pen and began to solve the problem.

An expedited memorial was sent to the palace.
It is said that this is a memorial, but it is not a formal memorial, but more like a secret letter. Although Emperor Jiajing reduced the number of factory guards and laid off many guarding institutions, he was more concerned about every move in the local area than the previous emperor.
Almost every now and then, factory secret documents from all over the world came in.
The reason why this secret letter has attracted attention is that the memorial was from Zhejiang. The news that Zhejiang is now very popular with Jiajing. Especially after the two decrees arrived in Zhejiang, Jiajing asked about Zhejiang's current situation almost every few times.
If you have something to do, what you can do is naturally to meet your preferences, so the factory guards in Zhejiang will naturally work harder.
Emperor Jiajing held the memorial with great interest, as if everything that happened in Zhejiang made Jiajing find fun in it. Of course, the most important thing is that there is a person in Zhejiang who made Jiajing feel interesting.
For example, a few days ago, a short message came, saying that the delegation Hu Qin was tricked by Xu Qian. The imperial envoy arrived in Hangzhou and was ordered to deal with criminals such as Wang Mingchuan. As a result, the imperial envoy did not even touch the people.
The criminal was sent away by Xu Qian on a packed boat.
Moreover, the factory guard also handed over the news, saying that the imperial envoy was resentful to Xu Qian because of this, and had already secretly revealed that Xu Qian would not have thought about this provincial examination.
For this matter, Jiajing was not energetic for several days and nights, and could not eat well, and couldn't sleep well. It was not because he was worried that the future of Xu would be lost, but because Jiajing was constantly thinking about what would have been solved if it were himself?
Jiajing is a man who claims to be very smart, but a monster named Xu in Hangzhou couldn't help but have a comparative mind.
After thinking about it, this question seems to be unsolvable, because the Minister of Rites is an imperial envoy after all, and he has nothing to say to anyone in the provincial examination. In addition, many people in the officialdom have been punished for the crime of inadvertent supervision.
The imperial envoy was obedient. If he were a student like Xu Qian, there would be no way out in this matter.
Therefore, Jiajing has already determined that Xu Qian has finished this time, but it is just a matter of the exam. He really can't get in. He is holding the memorial sent in his hand. He is not in a hurry to read it, but is worthy of the fun Huang Jin asked: "Huang Fan":
By the way, has the provincial examination in Zhejiang begun?"
Huang Jin bowed and said, "It's over, it started the day before yesterday."
"Well." Jiajing smiled again and said leisurely: "Do you think Xu Qian will be able to pass the imperial examination this time?"
Huang Jin was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he ask him about such things? The so-called profession is specialized, and how could he guess about scholars? But he thought about it and replied: "Xu Qian has it."
Your Majesty's blessing, I think I should be able to win."
Jiajing shook his head and said, "This may not be the case. If the chief examiner was an imperial envoy, Xu Qian might not have such luck."
Huang Jin said in shock: "Isn't the provincial examination a name for a famous person? Even if the imperial envoy is in a difficult position with Xu Qian, I am afraid that he may not be able to recognize his test paper."
Jiajing smiled faintly and said, "There are many names here. Although the rules of the court are becoming more and more strict, they are preventing fraud, but there are ways to deal with these scholars. Alas..." Jiajing sighed in a rare voice and said, "
If that guy really fails the exam, he simply doesn't want this fame and a job like his father. I will leave him a seat. This time, I'm afraid he will be in trouble. I can't sleep for a few days and nights.
, I was thinking about this problem. After all, the little student could not resist his thighs. The exam was without any evidence, and I couldn’t speak."
Huang Jin smiled and said, "It's better to come to the factory guards. The factory guards are all their own people. It's better to always be with a group of scholars."
Jiajing smiled unquestionably, and then opened the secret memorial handed over by Zhejiang. His eyes were a little dispersed, but then he couldn't help but exclaim, "How strange!"
