Chapter 709
When Hong Yi arrived outside the examination hall, there was already a sea of ​​people.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, there stood two rows of soldiers with spears in their hands and swords in their waists. All of them were majestic and solemn, as if they were about to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

It was also because of this group of soldiers that although there were a lot of people outside the tribute courtyard, there were very few loud noises, and the order was on the contrary.

Opposite Gongyuan Square, there is a snack street with meat buns, sesame dumplings, xiaolong soup dumplings, crab roe soup dumplings, fried dough sticks, red bean paste buns, sesame cakes, tea eggs, pumpkin porridge, mutton soup, beef noodles, sand... various The aromas of various foods spread everywhere, and pots and pans clinked.

Many scholars gather here to have breakfast, and then talk about it.

Hong Yi is one of them.

"It's so delicious!" Hong Yi ordered a bowl of beef noodles and ate them carefully.

At this moment, there were countless candidates in the Gongyuan Square who were queuing up to be searched by the soldiers, but Hong Yi didn't join them, but waited patiently.

After eating a bowl of noodles with fried sauce, the people in the square gradually became thinner. Now that the sky was bright, Hong Yi wiped his mouth, got up and walked towards the gate of the Gongyuan.

His unhurried and calm demeanor made the soldiers who checked and frisked at the door and the officials in charge secretly nod.

Of course, although I appreciate it in my heart, I still need to check what should be checked.

If they can't be found before the exam, and the candidates are brought into the exam room and cheating occurs, these soldiers and officials will be imprisoned at least, or exiled at worst.

After searching, Hong Yi entered the examination room of the Tribute Academy.

As soon as you entered, you saw several ancient sages and scholars enshrined in the center.

These statues of saints are all in high crowns and long clothes, with resolute and dull faces, very ordinary.

"It's strange, I always feel that it is different from ordinary statues." Hong Yi's mind moved, and he quietly moved out of his body.

boom!
As soon as he came out of his body, Hong Yi felt a surge of masculinity and righteousness filling the world, rolling in oppressively.

The source of this masculinity is those statues of saints!
This oppression of righteousness is too strong, Hong Yi even feels that this oppression is more powerful and terrifying than the oppression of his father Wu Wenhou Hong Xuanji's human blood pressure!
Hong Yi immediately returned to his shell, so he was not injured.

"It's amazing, the clay puppet has such oppressive power!" Hong Yi was shocked.

Then he thought about it carefully, and then he had a kind of enlightenment.

"Yes, they accepted worship from scholars of all dynasties. These scholars worshiped them and left their thoughts on the statues of sages. Over time, the statues became masculine and righteous."

Hong Yi bowed to the statue three times sincerely.

After the worship, a soldier came and led him to the numbered room of an examination room.

Room No. [-] is where candidates take their exams. There is one room per person, five feet in length, width in width, and seven feet in height. When the time comes, put down the upper plank and make a bed with the lower plank.

Of course, because the room is very narrow, it is uncomfortable to sleep with your body curled up.

A pot of charcoal fire and a candle are also prepared for the candidates in the room. The charcoal fire can be used for heating and cooking. The candidates are isolated from the outside world during the exam and have to solve the problem of eating by themselves.

In other words, in addition to pens, inks, papers and inkstones, you also have to bring things like rice noodles.

However, most of the examinees will not waste the time of answering papers for cooking, but bring some cooked food, or meat, or steamed buns, put them on the fire, and eat them when they are hot.

"It's no wonder that in some places, the places where prisoners are held are also called 'rooms' and 'chaos', which are really similar!" After entering the room, Hong Yi looked around.

……

After nine days and six nights, three rural examinations were completed, and the scholars who took the examination came out of the Gongyuan in a swarm.

The "battle" of these candidates is over, but the battle of the examiners is far from over.

They are still reading papers.

"Do the examiners of all parties have papers to recommend?" Li Shenguang, who was sitting at the head of the examiner's room, asked.

Li Shenguang is the chief examiner of this Yujing urban and rural examination, with a serious face, about 40 years old, and the Minister of Rites at that time.

"Every room has completed papers to hand in." Several assistant examiners quickly handed over several papers, tore off the seals, and spread them on the table for Li Shenguang to watch.

These papers are the excellent answer papers reviewed by several deputy examiners. If there is no doubt, the top six in the township examination will be selected from it.

Li Shenguang began to review the papers one by one, and soon frowned.

"This article talks about benevolence, righteousness and etiquette. It seems to be upright and denounces Fang Qiu, but in fact it is clever and eloquent. It is a hypocrite. It should be noted that you can't always talk about the truth!"

Li Shenguang read several answer sheets in a row, but he was not satisfied.

Several deputy examiners looked at each other a few times, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

When writing an article, the words should be more beautiful, otherwise it will be dry and boring and no one will understand it.Several deputy examiners could not say much due to their status and position.

You are the examiner and you have the final say.

"Huh? Good word!"

Suddenly, Li Shenguang saw an article, the handwriting was as agile as flying, especially the content of the above article, which deeply moved him.

"The heart of a holy emperor can only be understood through emptiness. Shun's heart is unintentional because he lives deep in the mountains..." Li Shenguang carefully reviewed the papers.

"Good! Good!"

After watching it, Li Shenguang was full of praise.

Seeing Li Shenguang's appearance, the assistant examiners all murmured, feeling a little unbelievable.

Li Shenguang was famous for his eccentric temper. Few of the ministers in his dynasty, even some famous ministers, could catch his eye, and some of the ministers' classic and moral articles were even criticized by him face to face.

Now he actually praised a candidate's article so much!
The deputy examiners gathered around to look at the papers, and after reading them for a while, they knew what they were doing.

First of all, the font of this article is both rigid and soft, full of vitality, and gives people a light and comfortable feeling, but it does not have that soft and soft taste.

The second is the center of the article, which explains the essence of mind science. Although it is not very profound, it is extremely rare for a candidate.

"This candidate is really..." The deputy examiners sighed in their hearts, "...good luck!"

The examiner Li Shenguang is a master of Xinxue. He is naturally happy to see such a paper.

Is it really good luck?Not really.

Hong Yi spent a long time inquiring about the chief examiner this time, and also studied some words and deeds of the other party, so that he could make a policy that suits the taste of the chief examiner.

Success that depends on luck is really rare.

The No.1 of this rural examination was decided accordingly.

Xie Yuan, Hong Yi.
