Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

As the best candidate for this imperial examination competition, Jia Tong's limelight can be said to be second to none.

In such a huge academy, only the few student leaders who have already entered the court can overwhelm him.

Sun Fujia's number one scholar in the previous dynasty does not count, if Jia Tong wins the top spot, then he will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books!

Not to mention, as long as you have a few years of qualifications, you will be able to enter the three provinces!

Perhaps, there will be a dark horse that surpasses Jia Tong.

But Jia Tong's ranking will definitely not be lower than the top three!

In the battle between the museum and the courtyard, his performance was enough to be described as terrifying!

Jia Tong's mood is not very beautiful.

During this period of time, he returned to live in Chaijia.

He was originally Chai Lingwu's follower, but because Chai Lingwu has been in Lingnan, he had to hang out with Chai Shaosi all day long.

It is really not easy for the Chai family to produce a scholar.

As a result, Chai Shao took him out to show up all day, and the time for reviewing was several times less than before.

Coupled with the damn weather, it's no wonder that I feel better!

No matter how knowledgeable you are, it's embarrassing to be a special case.

Jia Tong threw away the umbrella, unloaded his bookcase, and handed it to the Jinwu guard outside the square gate for inspection.

After passing the square gate, there are still several checkpoints waiting.

After checking the carry-on items, identity verification is required.

In the future, there will be a lottery to choose the seat for this subject.

Finally, following the examiners, read the discipline of the examination room.

From the time of Chen Shi to the time of almost Si Shi, five thousand candidates finally came to their seats.

No matter if it is Xiucai, Mingjing, Mingfa, or martial arts, it is necessary to take the test of mathematics.

This is also a big stone in the hearts of students from all walks of life.

With the order of Dugu Xiude, one of the chief examiners, the huge incense was ignited.

Curly green smoke billowed up, and the students opened the seals on the examination papers.

Looking at the densely packed topics on the paper as big as half a table, everyone felt their scalps tighten.

Even the students from the academy are terrified of arithmetic!

Other knowledge, at least from childhood, has a little foundation.

It is possible to calculate and learn from scratch!

Seeing the candidates enter the state, the mood of the examiners became a little calmer.

In mathematics, there is basically no possibility of plagiarism and cheating.

It can be seen from the judging standards.

What Liu Bai wants is not the result, but the process!

The process is wrong, only the result is right, not even half a point!

Therefore, the subject of mathematics is actually the easiest for the examiners.

A long row of seats was placed on the temporary platform.

Dugu Xiude walked back and sat down with a blank expression, as if the four big characters of 'no strangers should enter' were written all over his face.

Li Er's loyalists all seem to be carved out of the same mold.

The invigilators drawn from various yamen walked around with wooden plaques hanging on their chests.

When you see something that is not right, you always have to speak up and reprimand it.

The other chief examiners, such as Wang Hongzhi and others, gathered together and chatted in low voices for the next examination work.

The exam lasts two to four days in total.

Mingshu and Xiucai subjects are the least, with only four subjects in total.

Most of the literary examinations represented by the Mingjing subject take six subjects in three days.

Only martial arts took the longest time.

After all, the effort you put in immediately cannot be measured simply by the test scores.

Fighting is a must.

Everyone competes at least five times before they can tell the difference.

Since Dugu's cultivation of virtue is a display, Wang Hongzhi and Dou Dan, among the three chief examiners, naturally have the decision-making power for Wenju and Wuju.

This is what the emperor meant.

Time is really tight.

It was less than a day from the selection of candidates for the chief examiner to the official start of the imperial examination!

Even with regulations in place, there are still a lot of small and piecemeal problems that need to be solved.

All beginnings are hard!

I'm afraid Li Er didn't expect how troublesome it would be to take the first imperial examination directly from Chang'an without going through local selection!

Fortunately, there are a few bigwigs in the court who participated in the former Sui imperial examination.

Li Er specially got them here and named him a consultant.

For example, Fang Xuanling, Du Zhenglun, Sun Fujia, Kong Yingda, Zhang Sunzhi and others.

The last time was Jinshi and the first!

Wang Hongzhi summarized the problems and hurried to the small house where the 'consultants' rested.

After giving the gift, they scanned them one by one, and finally selected Fang Xuanling.

After all, it was Fang Xuanling who was more talkative.

The others are not in the three provinces, and they were frustrated when they competed for the chief examiner before, and they are probably still angry now.

"Fang Xiang, look"

Fang Xuanling wore reading glasses and looked at the notebook that Wang Hongzhi brought over.

After taking a look, he frowned.

"This is rare brother Chong Yuan, what do you think?"

He showed the notebook to Kong Yingda beside him.

Kong Yingda was taken aback, and said, "There are so many people who don't want to answer the subject?"

After looking around, there are a total of [-] candidates, and there are [-] people who have not answered until now!

Kong Yingda found a very familiar name, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"This man named Jing Bo is known as a great talent. He gave up the subject of mathematics. How can there be any hope of enrolling?"

Chapter 1331 Your Majesty, sell the palace to me

Arithmetic is a compulsory subject, no matter whether it is written or martial arts, it cannot be bypassed.

There is no answer until now, and there is no doubt that it has given up.

And giving up mathematics is equivalent to losing a score in one subject.

With such fierce competition, let alone admission, I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter the worst three rankings!

Just change it to someone else.

More than [-]% of people who are not from the academy have not experienced multi-system mathematics teaching.

There are really too few professional math teachers outside.

Although among the six arts of a gentleman, there is the existence of "number".

But it is completely different from the imperial examination.

The six arts of a gentleman, that is, 'ritual, music, imperial, archery, calligraphy, and number'.

It is the education system established in the Zhou Dynasty.

The 'number' among them can be said to be the least stringent.

There are only four textbooks that ordinary people can get.

Based on "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" compiled by Zhang Cang, supplemented by "Zhoubi Suanjing", "Sea Island Suanjing", and "Zhang Qiujian Suanjing".

Among the four books, the most profound knowledge did not touch the core content of the academy's teaching.

We all know that the math test paper was written by Liu Bai.

As the founder of the Academy and also the founder of the School of Mathematical Sciences, unless Liu Bai has a fit, he will only publish the test papers to the elementary level

There is no doubt that this was premeditated!

Perhaps, they wanted to use this to express their dissatisfaction with the academy.

Otherwise, how could there be as many as hundreds of people?

This is an exam related to their future!

On the list, there are several talented 'players' who became famous as teenagers!

As Kong Yingda said "Jing Bo" is an undisputed talent in the Hedong area!

Even when Linghu Defen and others compiled the "Book of Jin" before, they quoted Jingbo's point of view!

"Do you want to summon this person?"

Wang Hongzhi asked cautiously.

This thing is too big.

Even if he was the chief examiner, he didn't dare to make decisions without authorization.

Several consultants summed up, but they didn't agree.

"Summoning this person will inevitably make other candidates doubt in their hearts. If the rules in the examination room are broken, it will not be beautiful."

Kong Yingda frowned and said.

The sky and the earth are big, not as big as the rules.

Those who give up mathematics are only a small part after all.

If the credibility of the imperial examination is damaged, it will lose a great cause for thousands of years!

"Where is Dugu Xiude?"

Fang Xuanling asked.

Wang Hongzhi hurriedly asked Dugu Xiude to be called in.

Fang Xuanling personally edited a book, and asked Dugu Xiude to send it to the palace, and ask His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible.

Since entering the palace yesterday, Liu Bai has not gone back.

Even if there is no need to keep it secret and avoid suspicion, he has no intention of going back.

In the bedroom of Zichen Palace, Li Er was holding a vermilion pen, looking at Liu Bai who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets with disgust on his face.

"What are you looking for? It's disturbing me. There are still dozens of documents waiting for my royal approval!"

Liu Bai searched the emperor's bedroom, and kept patting the surrounding walls with his hands.

"I heard from Chengqian that His Majesty has a secret place to hide private money, and Liu wants to learn from it."

Li Er was very curious, and asked: "Your two wives always ask your opinion after eating and drinking, and still need to hide private money?"

Li Er didn't feel the slightest embarrassment about hiding money from his own house.

It is clearly written in the canon system that the financial encyclopedia in the palace is in charge of the empress.
