Negotiations continued, but the next day's negotiations reached a deadlock because Qin Hui reminded the emperor that half of Jiangling Mansion was on the north bank of the Yangtze River and half on the south bank of the Yangtze River. If it were allocated to the other party, it would be very detrimental to the safety of Jinghu North Road.
Emperor Zhao Gou listened to Qin Hui's suggestion and asked to change the demarcation plan. The two sides used the Yangtze River as the boundary. Jiangling Mansion on the north bank of the Yangtze River did not belong to Jinghu South Road, but to Jinghu North Road.
Of course, Hu Yun refused to agree to this demarcation plan. Jiangling Prefecture and six other state capitals had been assigned to the jurisdiction of Prince Yong's Prefecture as early as the year before last, and were not within the scope of this negotiation at all.
Moreover, the core of Jiangling Prefecture is on the north bank. The population, government, etc. are all on the north bank. The Yangtze River Navy Command Post of the Western Army is also on the north bank. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been invested to build docks and shipyards on the north bank.
How could it be possible to give the north bank of Gangneung Mansion to the other party?
Qin Hui also proposed using the north bank of Jiangling Prefecture in exchange for the garrison rights of Bianliang, but Hu Yun rejected it. How could Hu Yun agree to the bargaining chip created out of thin air?
Qin Hui's unreasonable conditions brought the negotiations to a deadlock.
Although the negotiations in Lin'an reached a deadlock, it did not affect Chen Qing's plans at all. In the past two days, the imperial examination began.
The imperial examinations are still held in the military camp outside Dongcheng. The main reason is that there are too many people. Nearly 60,000 people participated in this year's imperial examinations, especially the Ming Jing Ke Ke, with 38,000 people, and the Jin Shi Ke Ke, with 14,000 people.
There are 6,000 applicants for the Industrial Accounting Department.
At five o'clock in the morning, Yu Shou was awakened by a burst of endorsements. He knew that it was Xu Pei who was endorsing without having to listen. Yu Shou couldn't help but secretly shook his head. The imperial examination started today. He is just cramming now. Is it useful?
Although he could understand that an old literary official like Xu Pei had long forgotten all the scriptures learned by Zhou Xue, he did not sympathize with Xu Pei at all. It was clear that there were still a large number of scriptures that he was not familiar with and could not memorize them, but Xu Pei
He didn't waste any time, he went to see the female shopkeeper all day long, and found various reasons to strike up a conversation. She ignored him, and he didn't know what to do, so he went to eat soup cakes every day.
All time and energy were wasted on an unrelated woman. Others were also civil servants who came to take the exam and were not familiar with the scriptures, but they didn't leave the house and stayed in their rooms to memorize it. In the last two days, Xu Pei became anxious and started
Staying up late to endorse makes it impossible for people to sympathize with him.
In a daze, Yu Shou fell asleep again. He was finally woken up by a burst of noise. The shopkeeper was calling the room, "It's time to get up. After washing up, go have breakfast. The carriage won't wait for anyone. Get up quickly!"
The scholars got up one after another, and Yu Shou put on his clothes. Seeing Xu Pei sitting by the bed dejectedly, he could not persuade him, so he had to say: "Brother Xu, there are many people, I will go and wash up first."
"Go! I've washed it."
Yu Shou went out with a basin. The well was crowded with people. Yu Shou finally fetched a basin of water, washed himself and went back. Wang Pu brought breakfast, a dozen steamed buns and three bowls of porridge. "Canteen"
We can’t sit still anymore, so let’s eat quickly and go to the examination room early to get used to it.”
Xu Pei was very silent. After dinner, the three of them set off. There were several carriages parked in front of the inn, already filled with scholars.
"This way! This way!"
The waiter greeted the three of them, "There are three people missing here, so we got in the car and left!"
The three of them got on the carriage, started the carriage, and sped away.
There is already a sea of people in front of the examination camp. Tens of thousands of candidates are queuing up to enter the city. The camp is divided into three examination rooms, A, B and C, namely the Jinshi Science Examination Room, the Mingjing Science Examination Room and the Industrial Calculation Science Examination Room. Their examination papers are clearly written. The entrance
The three red lanterns are the examination room A, Jinshi Department, the two yellow lanterns are the examination room B, the Ming Jing Department, and the one white lantern is the examination room C, the Engineering and Mathematics Department.
"Brothers, let's break up here. I hope we can both pass the exam!" Xu Pei, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Brother Xu, I also wish you high school!"
The three of them separated and left. Yu Shou entered the A examination room after a body search. A soldier led him to the big tent. After a while, Yu Shou sat down in front of his seat. A soldier brought him a pen and inkstone and an inkstone.
Bring a glass of water. The name should be blurred at the end. This is also a summary of the previous lessons. Many scholars were impatient and blurred the name before the ink was dry. As a result, the name became a ball of ink and the opportunity was lost. According to the new
It is stipulated that during the lunch break of the exam, the examiner will send you a name slip and paste.
The time was coming, and there was a rumble of drums outside, and the door to the examination room was closed.
This time, the Jinshi examination lasted three days. The first day was about scriptures and literature, the second day was about essays, and the third day was about countermeasures. There were only ten questions on scriptures. Literature was one of the poems and poems, and there was another one.
Door hidden calligraphy.
There are three subjects in the Ming Jing Science Examination, literature, essays and scriptures. The bulk of it is scriptures. There are 50 questions in the test. You have to write non-stop for the whole day. The essays account for 60%, thesis accounts for 20%, and literature accounts for 10%.
, calligraphy accounts for 10%.
The exams for the Engineering and Mathematical Sciences subjects are more interesting. They also have three subjects: Literature, Classical Scripture and Miscellaneous. The majority of the exams are Miscellaneous. The Engineering and Mathematical Sciences does not test the depth, but the breadth, which is reflected in the miscellaneous items. The difficulty is not high, but the knowledge must be comprehensive.
, for example, they will ask, "The sound of firecrackers kills a new year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu." What is the title of this poem, and who is the author?
After the second bell rang, the test papers were handed out, and the questions were printed on the papers. The first morning of the Jinshi subject was about Tie Jing. There were ten questions, about 3,000 words written silently. The time was also very tight. Yu Shou browsed quickly.
He went through the questions. He knew all these questions, and he probably felt confident. He wrote down his name and exam number, and wrote the paper number at the bottom. The paper number was mainly used by the invigilator. He needed to write down the three-day exam.
Exam papers are grouped together.
It was very quiet in the big tent, with only the rustling sound of candidates' pens being heard. Each candidate was concentrating on it and trying not to make typos. Any corrections would affect the calligraphy score.
The invigilators paced back and forth in the large tent. They did not speak and did not affect the performance of the candidates.
At this time, an hour later, the invigilator went out and quickly brought in someone. There were two people patrolling the big tent. One was the invigilator of the main account, and the other didn't know it. Everyone thought it was the inspection hall patrol.
An examiner stopped behind Yu Shou and silently watched Yu Shou copying the sutras. Yu Shou was concentrating on writing the sutras silently, without paying any attention to the person standing behind him.
The examiner looked at it for a while, nodded and went out. The invigilator quickly sent him out.
Naturally, this examiner was Chen Qing who came to inspect the imperial examination. This was the third tent he inspected. He stood behind Yu Shou inadvertently. In anyone's opinion, it was just a coincidence.
Chen Qing is about to go to the fourth big tent. In each big tent, there will be lucky people who will be noticed by him. In fact, it is meaningless. After the name is obscured, no one will know who they are?
Chen Qing is actually paying attention to Yu Shou, Xu Xiantu's third son. This is a political deal between him and Xu Xiantu. Currently, only he, Hu Yun and Jiang Yanxian know that Yu Shou is Xu Xiantu's certificate of voting. With Yu Shou taking office in Sichuan and Shaanxi,
Xu Xiantu even had a place in Prince Yong's Mansion.
Judging from the current situation, Yu Shou did well in the exam and his calligraphy is also good. It can be seen that after the guidance of a famous teacher, he can write every stroke of regular script as smoothly as clouds and clouds. As long as he can write well, he can still stand out.
