In front of the gate of the liberal arts college, a middle-aged man walked out, with a dignified appearance and a serious smile.
He was the examiner selected by the Confucian Holy Academy to take the exam at the local liberal arts academy.
"The Spring Imperial Examination for Children! It has officially begun! Students who have qualified for the Imperial Examination are invited to enter the hospital! Other idlers should step aside!"
The voice of the person who gave the exam was very powerful and could be heard outside the academy.
In an instant, the candidates who came to take the exam and the friends and family members who came to see him off all gave their final instructions.
"Calm down and don't be nervous!"
"Dad, please go back, I'm going to the liberal arts college."
"Waiting for my good news, I am bound to win this Tongsheng Examination!"
"Son, in order for you to get involved in Confucianism and Taoism, my family has given you all the good things. You must live up to your expectations!"
"Let's go."
In an instant, the huge crowd was divided into two extremes.
A group of scholars wearing Confucian clothes walked towards the gate of the Academy of Literature.
A group of family members of scholars of all ages moved to both sides, making way for a wide avenue.
"Ziqing, let's go too." Gu Qinghui greeted.
"Yeah, let's work hard together." Li Xingyun clenched his fists to cheer him on.
The two of them fell into the huge wave of Confucian scholars.
At the entrance of the Literary Academy, behind the examiner were several attendants of the Holy Academy who were also unsmiling.
Equivalent to modern inspectors, they need to check the items carried by each Confucian scholar to prevent anyone from bringing in cheating things.
Because every imperial examination has semi-saints from the Holy Academy sitting in charge and watching over the world, so no one dares to cheat at this juncture.
The idea of deceiving the saints did not exist during the imperial examination period.
"Test the card! Open the book bag! Take out all the things you will bring into the exam room for routine inspection."
Preparations for the imperial examination are in progress.
In the Literary Academy, Lu Huan, the dean of the liberal arts academy, who was supervising the entire Wannian County imperial examination, Yang Nan, the county magistrate, and a Confucian fifth-rank Hanlin from Jingzhao Prefecture named Si Ru.
One represents the subordinates of the Confucian and Taoist Holy Academy, one represents the official affiliation of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is an official of Confucian scholars in the officialdom.
The three of them stood in a holy temple in the center of the liberal arts college, overlooking the students preparing to enter the liberal arts college at the gate, with calm expressions on their faces.
Si Ru, a fifth-rank Confucian scholar in Jingzhao Prefecture, looked at the county magistrate Yang Nan and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Wannian County, under the jurisdiction of Magistrate Yang, published a poem about the state level, but it affected the entire
The hearts of all scholars in Chang'an."
Hearing this, Yang Nan's face was filled with spring. He laughed and said: "Clear water produces hibiscus, and the natural carvings are removed! This poem is really excellent and has endless benefits! It has the power to restore the true nature of rare treasures and make them look new and natural."
"Li Xingyun studied hard for ten years, and once he had an epiphany, he was favored by God and favored by saints. It is amazing."
A poem about Mingzhou was published in the county under his jurisdiction, which even alarmed the major forces in Chang'an. Naturally, as a county magistrate, he had a bright face.
Therefore, he is more optimistic about Li Xingyun in this imperial examination.
After all, a former Saint boy who participated in the imperial examination had one more ability to call upon than other students.
"What do you think of this Li Xingyun?" Si Ruhanlin looked at the silent Wen Yuan Jun aside.
The Lord of the Wenyuan also nodded imperceptibly, and responded: "There are very few saintly children who are born in the lineage of Confucianism and Taoism. Every saintly child will have great achievements in the future. Especially those who have achieved sainthood.
The poem is still Mingzhou level, which is even more rare. Looking at the history of the entire human race for thousands of years, only a few people can write a poem about the vision of Mingzhou before Tong was born."
Si Ru smiled, stroking his beard with his hand, looked up at the students at the entrance of the liberal arts college, and said happily: "One of you is amazed, the other is rare, and you all speak highly of him."
"Those great scholars at Chang'an Academy are quite indignant towards him, saying, 'You can't teach a boy'."
"I went to see the old man Li Buyi yesterday and saw that he had deep circles under his eyes. When I asked him why, he said he had been unable to sleep for two consecutive nights."
After listening to Si Ru's words, the emperor Lu Huan and the county magistrate Yang Nan were both surprised.
You must know that a fourth-grade Confucian scholar possesses extraordinary means and a breath of awe-inspiring energy that is immune to all fatigue. How could he have deep circles under his eyes?
"Why is this so?? Because the poem was written on a woman??" Mr. Yuan lowered his eyes, feeling that it was inappropriate to be entangled in this matter.
"There is nothing wrong with using it to save people. They were not really sad that the first text and ink were used on a woman. They mainly saw that the first text and ink of the Mingzhou-level auxiliary poem was so extraordinary that they later thought of it.
They all have a sense of emptiness as something precious is flowing away from them. They are hating themselves for delaying in waiting and not stopping it earlier." Si Ru explained.
"However, Li Xingyun's behavior style is indeed different from that of other scholars. He is not like a Confucian scholar, but more like a martial artist who acts willfully." The emperor commented, and then said: "I just don't know that he, a former saint, lacks
After receiving the most important initiation of talent from heaven, where can I go in the future?"
Si Ru smiled and said nothing, gave the two of them a look that you thought about, and then penetrated the long distance with Hanlin's eyesight.
It happened to fall on Li Xingyun who was about to enter the liberal arts college.
Suddenly, he noticed a small movement.
"Huh? Juren Wen Bao?"
"Huh? A cultural treasure?" Upon hearing this, the court master and the county magistrate both looked at it.
The Juren Wenbao has caused quite a stir. For scholars who want to take the Imperial Examination for Children, this is undoubtedly a dimensionality-reducing blow.
Only the eldest son of a princely mansion with a particularly well-off family background and some aristocratic families with a long history can get it.
“It’s a cultural treasure that can guide people!!!”
At the entrance of the liberal arts college, Li Xingyun immediately attracted a lot of attention after taking out the Four Treasures of the Study that he got from Li Hongying.
A group of scholars were extremely jealous.
I was originally thinking about which prince's family he was, but after seeing the other party's face clearly, I felt complicated.
Li Xingyun!
The person who was criticized by them for using Mingzhou's poems and verses on maids!
"Where did he come from to be a treasure? Doesn't it mean that he just lives an ordinary life and can't afford good things?"
"That's a Juren Wenbao. It's something you can't see on a daily basis. All the Juren Wenbao sold in the study shop require sufficient status to buy."
"A former holy boy comes to take part in the imperial examination, and he has to use the imperial examination treasures. With such a big fanfare, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he fails in the examination?"
"..."
There were rustling discussions all around.
Li Xingyun's mouth twitched. Aren't the scholars in his memory very united?
Why is it different when you get to him?
All the gossipy things are weak.
Just when Li Xingyun disdained being associated with a group of weaklings who gossiped, the voice of the attendant of the Holy Court came.
"Test the cards!"
Li Xingyun came to his senses and took out a test card engraved with a brush and handed it to the attendant.
The attendant took the test card and compared the information on it, then asked Li Xingyun to stand in front of a piece of clothing mirror and compared the appearance again.
The robe, crown and mirror are treasures of Confucianism created by Emperor Taizong thousands of years ago.
You can refer to the information on the test card and compare it with the real person's appearance. If it matches, you will be allowed to pass.
There was no other abnormality on the mirror, which made Li Xingyun's last worry disappear.
He was afraid that this mirror could reflect a person's past and present lives and learn about changes in his soul.
But if you think about it carefully, it is something that even Confucian saints cannot do to reflect people's past and present lives. How can a great Confucian treasure do that?
"I'm too worried..." I muttered in my heart.
After the attendant completed the inspection, he returned all the things to Li Xingyun and said: "Li Xingyun, you can go in."
"OK."
Li Xingyun carried his things on his back and said to Gu Qinghui behind him: "Mingtang, see you after the imperial examination!"
"good!"
With brisk steps, Li Xingyun walked into the liberal arts college.
On the continent of origin, the Confucian lineage has two important components, the Holy Academy and the Wenyuan.
The Holy Academy is a transcendent place. There is only one true Holy Academy, which is the first academy founded by Confucius. It was originally Qufu Academy. In other states, there will be a local Holy Academy to act as the Holy Academy. Only those who become Confucian scholars can enter the Holy Academy.
The courtyard is regarded as the inner courtyard of Confucianism.
The liberal arts academy is in contact with other systems and can be regarded as the outer courtyard of Confucianism, controlling scholars in various academies and private schools.
A liberal arts academy must be at least at the county level in order to be eligible to build it. The scale of the liberal arts academy at the prefecture level or even the state level is actually not much different, because the base of Confucian students is large, and the higher up, the more places the liberal arts academy manages.
But in fact, the number of Confucian scholars who are qualified to be disciplined is not much different.
For example, a county-level liberal arts college has 10,000 scholars who want to take the Tongsheng examination, and it is responsible for these 10,000 scholars.
The prefectural-level liberal arts academy needs to control Confucian students from several counties, but the Confucian scholars who can be controlled by the prefectural-level must be young students.
Later, as long as you win the imperial examination, it means that you can become an official in the court, and you no longer need to be controlled by the Academy of Literature.
It is worth mentioning that the leader of the Wenyuan, also known as the Yuanjun, is directly appointed by the Holy Court and does not obey the control of the royal family, but in fact, everything will be discussed with the royal family.
Li Xingyun was walking in the liberal arts college. Under the blue sky, the early sun was shining, the shadows of the trees were mottled in the holes on the ground, and a thousand birds were chirping. It was a very pleasant environment.
The buildings of each liberal arts college have a strict layout, with towering walls and a quiet environment; there are also public halls and government offices inside, which are tall and strict.
The outer wall is three-layered, with an outer thorn wall, an inner thorn wall, and a brick wall. There are more than tens of thousands of examination rooms. Because they are for one person, they are not large. They are arranged according to the "Thousand-Character Classic", and those that are repeated are brought
serial number.
In addition, the center of the liberal arts college is located in the Holy Temple, which mainly plays the role of supervising the examination.
There is a brick door on each of the east and west brick walls, and there is an archway inside the door. The east is "seeking scholars for the Ming Dynasty" and the west is "seeking talents for the country";
There is a brick screen wall outside the south wall. There is a door on the left and right sides of the wall. There is a "Tiankai Wenyun" archway in the middle of the door. There are a main gate, two gates and a gantry on the central axis, also known as the three gantry...
Li Xingyun followed the information on the examination card, turned down several corridors, and finally found the examination room where he was.
Several attendants have the ability to promote scholars and are not slow to investigate.
An hour later, more than 10,000 candidates were all admitted!
They each entered the examination room and stood quietly, waiting for instructions from the central temple.
Seeing that all the students were well prepared, the three examiners in the holy temple began to get into the main topic of the Spring Imperial Examination.
In the center of the temple stands a stone statue of Saint Kong, and in front of the statue is a bronze incense burner and tripod.
The three examiners each stood in front of the stone statue of Saint Kong holding an incense stick.
The emperor Lu Huan lost his momentum and shouted loudly: "Worship the saint!!"
All the scholars in the academy heard this at the same time, and no matter how carefree and free-spirited they were, they all bowed down to worship the temple at this moment.
To the human race, Saint Kong was a sage who saved the human race from dire straits. Without him, the human race would not have the relatively peaceful environment it has today.
Therefore, future generations will remember him.
Just like the two emperors of Yan and Huang in Li Xingyun's previous life, all Chinese people claim to be descendants of Yan and Huang and cannot forget them.
"Goodbye!!" Hanlin Siru shouted loudly.
Li Xingyun followed many students and bowed again.
"Three thanks!" said the county magistrate Yang Nan. Although the Confucian scholar's cultivation is not high, the holy temple has extraordinary functions, and his voice can be transmitted to the entire liberal arts academy.
At the end of the three prayers, three sticks of incense were inserted into the bronze incense burner.
"Chunwei Imperial Examination! The exam begins!!!"
The emperor took a look at the sunshine time, and then he breathed out a breath of awe, spreading in all directions through the temple.
