imperial decree arrives

Chapter 728 New Imperial Examination
They thought that the test questions would be very tricky, and they also thought that they might deviate from the scriptures, but they didn't expect that they would be so tricky and so divorced, which is simply outrageous.

No matter who wrote the test question... Draw a circle and curse him!

"Ugh……"

Someone sighed, and then a group of people sighed.

There are also some candidates holding a glimmer of hope, hoping that the next questions will be simpler or within the scope of their own preparations. In this way, even if they can't do the first few questions, they can still get points from behind.However, the more candidates look down, the more they feel what is called real despair.

"The third question, what is the way of civil and military?"

I know this question, isn't it more important, civil or military?

But if you think about it carefully, it's so difficult!

"..."

"The seventh question, who dares to be the first among scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce?"

so easy!
But I just don't know how to write!

"Question [-], what should we do if the foreign race surrenders the whole country?"

Imagination is beautiful, but... let's continue to meditate.

"Question No. 20, is the country rich and the people strong, or the people strong and the country rich?"

This topic is so clear and refined!

"No. 40 eight questions, those who block your righteous way, kill without mercy?"

The killing intent has overflowed the paper, and the answer to this question is clear at a glance.

"Nine questions No. 40, poetry, music, policy theory, choose one, and play freely!"

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Of course, this is the thinking of those candidates who have not been able to start with a single question. Many candidates will not skip the many previous test questions, but start to fall into deep thought.

The same is true for Ning Caichen. He just browsed through the test questions briefly and then began to think.

These exam questions seem to be unconstrained, but if you dig deeper, it will take some time to see the mystery.

Ning Caichen spread out the manuscript paper. At this moment, he already had some ideas in his mind. He could write down the details on the manuscript paper first, and then add them to the answer sheet at the end.

Facing those tricky questions, Ning Caichen gave up for the time being and skipped to the next question without answering.

"This time, the title is probably given by the new emperor!"

As it was being written, Ning Caichen suddenly guessed.

"If the new emperor came up with the question, what exactly is he going to test the candidates for?"

Encountered too many problems, up to now, Ning Caichen has skipped seven or eight questions. If things go on like this, even if this exam paper goes all the way to the end, it is estimated that he has only completed less than half of it.

Ning Caichen believes that if he really only completed half of it, let alone answering all the questions correctly, even if he answered all the questions correctly, he may not be able to enter high school.

Believe me, there are many people who are better than you.

So Ning Caichen gave up and continued to look down, and turned his attention to the first question. Although he had some thoughts on the first question, he always felt that he was not satisfied with the writing.

"The first question, Nuwa mending the sky, Jingwei filling the sea, and Kuafu chasing the sun, these three are anecdotes that have been widely circulated among the people. This question requires us to write down our feelings. The Holy One certainly does not want to see me waiting to sing praises. Virtue, then...he is preparing...wait a minute...all three of them are shaking the world with manpower, haha...I understand, although the Holy One is young, his heart is as high as the sky, he is really a role model for my generation!"

Finding his way of thinking, Ning Caichen wrote like a spirit, and wrote: "Fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with yourself, it's a lot of fun!"

In a word, concise and to the point, with a long meaning.

Afterwards, Ning Caichen turned to the second question, and wrote another sentence: "The sage is the king, and I am the minister. Regardless of ghosts and gods, one man is in charge, and ten thousand men are not allowed!"

Ning Caichen is like a sage who passed five passes and killed six generals, his thoughts gushed out like a spring, and in less than a stick of incense, Ning Caichen came to question No.20.

"Is the people strong and the country rich, or is the country rich and the people strong?"

Looking at this topic, Ning Caichen fell into deep thought.

If it was Ning Caichen in the past, he would definitely choose "the country is rich and the people strong" without hesitation, but at this moment, Ning Caichen hesitated.

In the end, Ning Caichen wrote his own answer: "The king is a boat, the people are water, and water can carry a boat and overturn it!"

Time is like flowing water, shuttling through the examination room.

It wasn't until the examiner said: "There is still time for the last stick of incense", that those candidates who hadn't finished the exam questions really started to panic.

When the inspector blew the final horn, the exam really ended.

"Stop writing everything, the exam is over, and it is forbidden to continue answering, otherwise you will directly cheat!"

Originally, some examinees didn't pay much attention to it and were still writing hard, but the examiner didn't give these exams time at all. In a rage, the examiner directly grabbed the exam answer sheet and then tore it up. This made the examinee stunned and sat down in a daze.The examiners don't care about these, the opportunity has been given to them, and they don't cherish it.

Ning Caichen was a little nervous. After the exam, he realized that his stomach hurt a little, but the examiner was delayed for a while because of the previous exam, and he hadn't come to him to collect the exam paper bag.But soon, after the examiner collected the bag, Ning Caichen was the first to rush out of the examination room.

"Oh, I thought I was miserable enough, but I didn't expect that some people's hearts are ashamed!"

Before the exam was over, the exam left the exam room one after another. When the examiner walked out of the exam room, the door of the exam room was closed again.

It was approaching noon, it was time to eat, and there was only half an hour before the next exam.At this time, the benefits of a superior family background are reflected.

Some officials and examinees don’t have to do anything, they only need to wait for the servants at home to deliver the food, or they just call a bunch of friends, get in a carriage, and drive to those who have already said hello several miles away. Restaurant, sit in the restaurant and have a nice meal.

There are also candidates who have already prepared their lunches, which are still warm. These candidates gather together and occupy some positions.

The last category of candidates was similar to Ning Caichen. They didn't bring anything, so they had to go not far away to buy some dry food.

"There is a canteen here, and you can eat for free!"

Suddenly someone shouted in the crowd, Ning Caichen heard it, and quickly looked over, there were already many scholars rushing over there, Ning Caichen put away his dry food, ready to find out.

After arriving at the dining room, I found that it was not only clean but also very spacious, which could accommodate many people to eat together.

As the man said, there are indeed people waiting here, looking at the countless steaming dishes inside, Ning Caichen subconsciously swallowed his saliva.When someone asked if they wanted money, the answer was a pleasant surprise—free.

For the first time, Ning Caichen felt that the scientific examination was also a happy thing.

"And hot soup!"

……

After a hasty lunch, Ning Caichen felt a little full. This seemingly simple lunch was actually more delicious than the food in some restaurants, which Ning Caichen did not expect.

There was still a stick of incense before the start of the exam. Ning Caichen had already returned to the exam room and was waiting at the side. In order to recharge his energy for the next exam, Ning Caichen began to close his eyes and rest his mind.

thump...

Finally, a familiar voice came to mind, and Ning Caichen suddenly heard a burst of discussion. When he opened his eyes, Ning Caichen found that the gate of the examination room was not open, which shocked Ning Caichen.

"Martial arts exam in the afternoon, everyone line up, follow me to the exam room!"

"What, Wu Kao?"

"Isn't it a written test and an interview? Why is there a sudden increase in the martial arts test?"

"How can I wait for a frail scholar to do what that martial artist did?"

"..."

One stone caused a thousand waves, and everyone was surprised by this exam.

"Stop talking nonsense, those who don't want to go go back."

amount……

Forget it, let's go.
