There are also those who write a lot. Among the more than 300 candidates, there are always some good talents with a relatively solid foundation, or the students who failed the rankings in previous years are already familiar with the rules and environment of the examination room.

However, most of the candidates who take the imperial examination for the first time are quite nervous on the first day, it is difficult to calm down, and they often cannot do many questions. Only when they are familiar with the environment and calm down can they perform at a normal level.

Even so, those candidates who have a solid foundation and experience in the exam have only about [-] questions before and after, and the best one has done about [-] questions, but the examinee's paper is not at all. It cannot be seen, and can only be reviewed after the final transcription.

Young Master Liu's scroll is not the case. Not only has the number of [-] questions been made, but the scroll is clean and tidy, without the slightest drop of ink. The reason for being stunned.

You must know that one hundred questions are three days' worth of questions, and it has just passed more than half a day that Young Master Liu has completed more than half of the questions. Zhao Fengshou couldn't help being surprised.

Looking strangely at First Young Master Liu who seemed to be gnawing on the chicken leg as if no one else was around, Zhao Fengshou rarely stopped and bent over to examine the test paper, which had never happened before.

In fact, the main reason is that Zhao Fengshou doesn't really believe that Young Master Liu can solve these problems in such a short period of time. Either he is an amazing talent or just randomly writes some inexplicable articles below. Zhao Fengshou wants to verify it. If Liu Mingzhi It is really a gifted talent to win the first place, and I am also honored as the chief examiner.

Zhao Fengshou first fiddled with the test paper a few times, and found that only the roll paper and the manuscript paper had no other items before examining the answers. The more he looked, the more he was shocked. None of the first [-] questions had a wrong answer. You know, even he I am not sure that I can do these questions completely and correctly within such a time.

Although Zhao Fengshou was also one of the testers, but as the chief examiner, he was only responsible for [-] questions, and Qi Run and the four accompanying examiners were responsible for the rest of the questions. Even he didn't know the content of the questions. .

Zhao Fengshou had to leave the examination room after only reading twenty questions, and even the chief examiner couldn't stay alone in the examination room of a candidate for too long.

Before leaving, looking for the breakup to glance at the number of the examination room intentionally, he has already taken this candidate to heart, maybe Jinling is really going to produce a candidate who is right this time.

After Zhao Feng took it away, First Young Master Liu suddenly collapsed to the ground: "Young master is scared to death. I thought I made a mistake. Could it be that I did the wrong question?"

After wiping his hands clean with a towel, First Young Master Liu hurriedly picked up the test paper and began to check one question after another. The answers that were confident before seemed a little weird again.

Young Master Liu pulled his hair and looked confused. Is the answer right or wrong?It feels right, but it seems to be wrong again, and I'm going to die.

Zhao Fengshou didn't expect that his own review made the calm-minded Young Master Liu start to become anxious, and he couldn't read the rest of the questions at all.

"Hmph." A muffled hum woke Liu Mingzhi up from his restlessness.

Qi Run looked at the son-in-law who was scratching his head with a complicated expression, thinking that he had encountered a problem and couldn't continue, so he inadvertently made a calm gesture for Young Master Liu to see, and then left with his hands behind his back.

Qi Run had to do this. Others wanted to avoid suspicion, and his uncle had to avoid suspicion even more. He read the test papers of hundreds of people back and forth, but hurried past Liu Mingzhi's examination room.

Seeing his father-in-law's actions, Young Master Liu also began to adjust his mentality, picked up his pen and continued to write.

Not long after, the sky finally darkened, and the servants with lanterns distributed candles to the candidates one by one, and the candles in the quiet Gongyuan shone brightly.

After Liu Mingzhi lit the candles, he had already sat down for ninety questions. He knew that the dim light of candles was the most likely to damage his eyes. Young Master Liu planned to continue writing the test papers tomorrow, and then looked sideways at the crude wooden bed. Looking at the stars all over the sky, he was dazed.

"Jinling under Lord Qi's governance is indeed thriving. Although some students are a little nervous about their first scientific exams, most of them are still in a good mood, and their grades must be very good."

"Master Zhao is absurd. This is because all the students study hard on weekdays and have a solid foundation. That's why they can start the test so peacefully. It has little to do with me."

"Your Majesty Qi is humble. Your Majesty occasionally mentions your name in the palace. I heard that next year I intend to transfer you to the Six Departments as an official. Don't forget to support your subordinates."

Qi Run was overjoyed, but his expression was still calm: "It all depends on His Majesty's kindness. As for whether he can be transferred to the sixth department, it is too early. I dare not make a guarantee with Mr. Zhao."

"Extremely extreme, the weather is unpredictable, and no one can say that it is safe before the time comes. I admire your lord's disposition. There is no wine today. I will use tea instead of wine to wish you every step of the way. I hope that next year you and I will be able to do well." We are ministers in the same palace."

Qi Run also raised the teacup in front of him: "Thank you, you and I will encourage each other."

"Among the more than a thousand students who took the exam, I don't know what good talents you have discovered. The official has long heard that Dangyang Academy has all the talents in the world. It is a pity that the official is from the north, and he has no chance to see Dangyang Academy. The elegant demeanor of the mountain, after seeing the candidates today, you can appreciate the elegant demeanor of the mountain, the students of Dangyang Academy are really extraordinary, and many students solve the questions at a speed that even the lower officials would be ashamed of."

Qi Run frowned: "Oh? Could it be that Mr. Zhao discovered some good talent? I wonder if it is Song Yi from Dangyang Academy, Li Peichao, or Lin Yangming from Yishan Academy and other famous talents in Jinling?"

"Since my lord wants to test and teach my subordinates, I will not hide my secrets. I found two outstanding students. One is a student named Hu Jun. He answered the questions very quickly. Although he didn't know the answer, But judging by its curly appearance, it seems to be a big one.”

"Who is the other?"

"This lower official is not clear either. It stands to reason that the first thing candidates need to do after receiving the test paper is to write their name, but the person did not leave out the name. I don't know if it is forgotten or it is a personal habit, but this His talent and knowledge are absolutely extraordinary, the official took a cursory look at his answers, and found that none of the twenty questions made mistakes, which is really shocking."

"There is no name? I hope it is not forgotten, otherwise the scriptures will be invalidated."

"But the officer remembers his exam room, number 360."

Chapter 163: Autumn Four

Chapter 163: Autumn Four

As the night passed, some students were lighting up the lamp to write, some were falling asleep soundly, and everyone was working hard to change their destiny.

The sun was rising, and the Gongyuan was still quiet. Although Young Master Liu didn't hear the crowing of the rooster, he still opened his eyes early because of the biological clock.

There are no supplies for you to wash carefully in the Gongyuan. A wooden bucket half filled with water and a dark porcelain bowl are placed aside. Young Master Liu rinsed his mouth casually and spit into the spittoon. Exercise your body a little during the exam room.

"Oh, that's all for one day. You can't go crazy if you pass the exam for nine days and nine nights." That's right, Qiu Wei of the Dalong Dynasty has to pass the exam for nine days and nine nights. Although the time for candidates has become extremely sufficient, but Stuck in such a small room for nine days and nine nights in a row, if the quality of the heart is slightly poor, I am afraid that I will be forced to have a nervous breakdown.

These candidates are still focusing on the test papers and have no time to take into account environmental issues.

After hastily wiping his face, Liu Mingzhi refocused on the test paper. There are still ten questions left to be solved. Don't be careless. He represents the hope of the whole village.

Picking up the pen to write again, Liu Mingzhi, who was going smoothly before, finally started to slow down in the last five questions, probably because he encountered the so-called finale question.

For the first time, Young Master Liu picked up the manuscript paper on the side and began to think about the questions on the test paper. After he had a little thought, he wrote it down. Finally, when the sun was rising, he completed all [-] questions. The three-day test questions only cost It took about a day to get it done, I have to say that Young Master Liu is a bit fast.

Young Master Liu didn't bother to think about whether it's better for a man to be faster or slower, so he picked up all the answers and began to compare them one by one.

With a slap, the paperweight was directly pressed on the test paper. My ability is limited to this, and the result depends on God's will.

Liu Mingzhi casually ate some snacks, turned over and lay down on the simple bed and fell into a deep sleep. The so-called stealing half a day's leisure is just like taking a vacation.

Unknowingly, Liu Mingzhi felt continuous coughing, and opened his sleepy eyes. It was the black-faced thing from yesterday again. Why did this guy come again? Yesterday he almost broke the young master, and today he came again. What do you want to do? This is it.

Pulling his ears, Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhao Fengshou suspiciously, and wanted to ask him if there was anything wrong, but he was afraid of breaking the rules, so he could only stare at Zhao Fengshou blankly.

Zhao Fengshou hummed again, raised his finger and pointed to the sky, indicating to Young Master Liu that it was getting late, and it was not appropriate to go to sleep at this time, it was time to get up and do the questions.

kindness?What do you mean, is there someone above him?Young Master Liu poked his head and looked up, only the endless blue sky and white clouds, nothing else.

Seeing Young Master Liu's appearance, Zhao Fengshou frowned and leaned over and said softly: "It's time to do the question."

Young Master Liu muttered like a thief, "The students are done."

Um?Zhao Fengshou picked up the test paper under the paperweight with a puzzled expression and flipped through it twice. He was stunned when he saw the entire sheet with all the answers, and he was really done.

Zhao Fengshou looked back at Liu Mingzhi who was lying down again and clicked twice: "Wizard."

First Young Master Liu, who was a little drowsy after lying down again, was awakened by a light cough again. He had bed sickness, and the damn thing is endless, right? He just saw Qi Run, who was standing outside the examination room in a crimson official robe, immediately bowed his head and became Looked like a good baby.

Taking a stern look at First Young Master Liu who nodded and lowered his eyebrows, Qi Run frowned and left.

Liu Mingzhi held his chin in a daze, and didn't dare to sleep anymore. Qi Run would go back for a while, and he would definitely get angry when he saw that he fell asleep. If he told Qi Yun, he would probably be taken care of again. a meal.

But it's not a solution to hold on like this. Young Master Liu thought of one thing, whether it is possible to hand in the papers in advance. It seems that there is no rule in the imperial examination that is not allowed to hand in the papers in advance.

Qi Yun didn't say it, his father-in-law didn't say it, and Wen Renshan didn't say it either. Indeed, there was really no such thing as whether the Longchao scientific examination could be submitted in advance. Ordinary scholars usually feel that there is not enough time. Handing in papers is something that has never happened in the imperial examination.
