I write novels in the East Palace

Although Zhou Chengyi has been here for two years and has passed the imperial examination once, this is the first time he has witnessed it with his own eyes, and he also deeply understands why the examination is also a physical effort.

There are six subjects in the newly restructured imperial examinations—classical Chinese, arithmetic, policy theory, history, astronomy, and geography.

Considering that these six courses are more or less involved in the courses that most candidates have studied before, and the medical specialty is relatively strong, which is not shown in the previous textbooks at all, so this year does not take the exam, only split astronomy and geography , but he is already considering joining medicine.

The six subjects take a total of three days to take the test, and each paper has a lot of questions, so it takes about an hour and a half for a test, and the most abnormal thing is that he is not allowed to leave the test room until all the tests are over , For three days and two nights, food, clothing and housing are all inside, you can't talk or make noise, and you need to show your sign when you go to the toilet.

Zhou Chengyi didn't go out of his way to find out before the start, and no one came out until after the exam of the first subject, so he couldn't help but catch the familiar Zhaojialou reporter and asked him.

This reporter was the one who interviewed Fu Qian in the Zuichun Building during the first Chang'an Debating Competition.

He didn't know Zhou Chengyi, he just saw that he was well dressed and accompanied by someone, obviously he was not an ordinary person, and his appearance was inexplicably familiar, "Is the young master waiting for someone here?"

"Wait for my lover, he will take the exam inside." Zhou Chengyi replied.

The word "lover" expresses the relationship between the two very well. Hearing him say that, the reporter was quite surprised. He thought that Zhou Chengyi was referring to the woman as his lover, so he told what he knew.

Zhou Chengyi immediately stood there for a long time with his forehead supported.

He is naturally dissatisfied with this kind of exam like this, but now that the exam has started, it would be unreasonable for him to stop it now, and he took the opportunity to learn about it, and learned that the exam is already the best salary, like The previous rural examination lasted nine days and six nights!

Moreover, the township examination was held in August, the hottest month, and the cubicle was cramped and stuffy, and it was said that I couldn't even stretch my legs.

The exam is at the Taixue, apart from anything else, the specially built exam hall is very comfortable, the legs can be stretched out, there are cushions on the horizontal board, books are also allowed to be borrowed during the break time, and the meals are even better. Provided by Zuichunlou.

The Ministry of Etiquette has done its best within its scope, and it is impossible for Zhou Chengyi to blame everything indiscriminately. After all, the reason for doing this in the first place is to prevent cheating, which is the same as smearing papers.

Zhou Chengyi wanted to change this system, all he wanted was to find another way to replace it.

But the best monitoring is definitely not available at the moment. Zhou Chengyi pondered for a long time, using the college entrance examination he had experienced as a template, and concluded that using ABC sub-papers, fully closed propositions for proposition groups, disrupting the random examination room of the invigilator, and the examination paper examination room Face-to-face dismantling, answer sheet answering and other methods.

These are bound to be able to greatly prevent fraud.

But these things will definitely not be needed this year.

Zhou Chengyi originally wanted to book a room in the nearest restaurant, but as a result, most of the houses in Chang'an were full of customers, so he had no choice but to reveal his identity, and was welcomed by the Minister of Rites and moved into Taiyuan College.

He lived in the dean's house.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites tremblingly asked, "Why is Your Highness here?"

"Wait for someone to take the exam." Zhou Chengyi told the truth. Seeing his disbelief, he was silent for a moment, and then said in a low tone with a bit of mystery, "Father is very concerned about the new imperial examination."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites looked as if that was the case, and he was actually relieved, "Your Majesty and Your Highness, don't worry, there will be no mistakes."

Zhou Chengyi patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Do it well."

No matter how the minister of the Ministry of Rites heard this sentence, it seemed to carry some special meaning, and he immediately backed up. He patted his chest and promised that when he went to bed at night, he dreamed that he was doing well and was valued by the Holy One, promoted and made a fortune, Life is complete.

If he is promoted to an official of this rank, he will be named a Marquis and a Prime Minister!This is a class that many people will never touch in their lifetime.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was delighted by his dream, and the invigilator under his opponent was really strict with him.

So the next day, the candidates all found that the invigilator was strict, and if there was a little trick, it was likely to be the focus of the examiner's attention.

Zhou Chengyi stayed in Taixue for two nights, and Fang Guanyan was taking an exam, so he found paper, ink, brush and inkstone to write a new novel.

——It was the ancient Chuanwei that was based on the original owner.

Zhou Chengyi couldn't think of the name of this book, and finally asked Fang Guanyan to name it after vaguely describing the theme of the article.

Fang Guanyan really deserves to be full of knowledge, some quotes from the classics, some with deep meaning, but Zhou Chengyi skipped all of them, and chose the most straightforward "Yi Chenzhou's Future Diary" eight words.

At the same time, Zhou Chengyi also had a new idea for this article, that is, the No.1 diary stream, the most famous one should be "Diary of a Madman" by Mr. Lu Xun, a literary giant in the Republic of China.

Of course, Zhou Chengyi believed that neither the writing nor the connotation could reach its height. The original intention of his writing this article was not so lofty, and Zhou Chengyi’s full wishes to the original owner set the tone of this article as easy.

However, he imitated Mr. Lu Xun in his style of writing.

Zhou Chengyi worked hard in choosing the words and sentences, and the various expressions are more vernacular than the previous ones, closer to modern Chinese, and he started to use simplified characters.

Speaking of this simplified version, the emperor released the "Yongle Dictionary" while eliminating illiteracy, and announced the new simplified version after he was established. This made those scholars go crazy for a long time.

The emperor was not in a panic either, first he suppressed the war in Cangzhou; later he summoned missionaries from all over the world and subordinate countries to suppress him in the new year; students jointly signed a letter to boycott women's participation in the imperial examination.

The right time, place and people are really right, these things are followed by the imperial examination, the recruitment of new officials, and the annual official assessment held by the Ministry of Officials... It can be said that it will not stop for a few months.The matter of simplified characters has been postponed for so long, so there is still no enthusiasm for it before.

Moreover, the academics are talking against it, but secretly they asked the scribes in the government to study and find a new method of monopoly.

During Zhou Chengyi's two days in Taixue, he wrote a total of [-] characters at the beginning of the new article, explaining the identity and background of Yi Chenzhou and the biggest problem he faced after time travel: penniless.

Zhou Chengyi spends more time applying medicine to his wrist and wandering outside.

He found that there were not only reporters from the Zhao family building squatting outside Taixue, especially during the last exam, it was really lively, and the carriage got stuck directly. The gentlemen have come, and there are many boudoir girls and female students.

Some vendors who saw business opportunities set up stalls and stoves outside to sell tea, and it was overcrowded immediately, making a lot of money. Naturally, most of them did not come for the tea, but were unbearable due to the cold spring outside.

This year's imperial examination has really become the top priority in Chang'an.

In fact, although the imperial examinations were very popular in previous years, they are far inferior to this year's. This matter has been discussed in the public since years ago, and it is also because of the joint letter mentioned above.

Some students who came to Beijing to catch the exam hit it off with the sour people in Beijing, and felt that the government decree of the DPRK and China was ridiculous.

The emperor did not know what kind of chain reaction this decree would cause, and he implemented it for two reasons:

As Zhou Chengyi thought, he saw another possibility from his works under various pseudonyms, and the current court cannot realize this possibility. The Jade Bone lifts the roof so that he can open the windows, this is one of them.

And secondly, the emperor was seriously considering the possibility of Zhou Chengyi's original proposal to let Luwu take over the position. Although he was still in the stage of semi-doubt about Luwu at the time, he had not made a decision on it. Possible options for paving.

Since he dared to issue such a decree, he was naturally prepared to deal with the problem.

He waited until almost all the students rushing for the exam had entered Beijing before he took action to crack down on this kind of behavior.

In fact, he did not do any violent suppression. He just directly separated out [-] Yulin soldiers and told them to hold the kind of loudspeaker that can gather sound and amplify the sound, and shout Zhou Chengyi's classic ridicule on the streets of Chang'an every day, "" No way, no way, no one really can't beat a woman, right?"

They yelled once in three or five counts. This mocking sentence echoed in Chang'an City for more than a month. No matter what words they came up with, they always responded with this sentence.

In the end, the outraged students worked hard during the one month specially set aside by the emperor. Chang'an Bookstore published "Five-Year Imperial Examination and Three-Year Simulation", "Full Explanation of Imperial Examination", "Real Examinations of Imperial Examination", "New Ke Reform" ·The 64 volumes of the six-subject test mock test book, etc., are almost all sold out.

The reporters from Zhaojialou deliberately squatted outside the Taixue half an hour in advance, just to interview various representatives as soon as possible.

For example, Li Jiexiong, who opposed the women's imperial examination school, directly said that he would occupy the first-ranked seat, and said: "If a woman really wants to prove herself, she can only take the first-ranked Jinshi? Why don't you just take the No. , Li should pay the price for his words and deeds today, and let the girls dispose of them."

Zhou Chengyi borrowed his interview book to look through it, and it was a coincidence that Li Jiexiong was followed by Yu Ying, after the reporter deliberately said these words, Yu Ying only replied indifferently, "Let's be optimistic. "

The description of "Layman Guan Xue's expression is calm" was written by the reporter, but the next sentence, it seems that Yu Ying's straight back and confident and proud steps can be seen across a piece of paper.

This reporter interviewed many people, and even the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of the imperial examinations were recorded on it. Zhou Chengyi really admired him.

but……

"Why is there no Fang Guanyan?" He asked casually, "He is the son of the prime minister and a disciple of Tang Gong. , or the sure-fire envoy of the Li Fan Academy, who is a strong contender for the number one prize... why didn't you interview him?"

The reporter was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to sort out a little idea, and said in shock, "Could this Fang Guanyan be Tang Zigu?"

It turned out that everyone in the world thought that Zigu's surname was Tang, but Zhou Chengyi corrected him, "His surname is Fang."

The reporter didn't care at all, but was very pleasantly surprised, "He actually came to take the imperial examination!"

"That's right, the portrait of the Habayashi Army asking all over the street was still in his hands." Zhou Chengyi said.

The reporter thought about it, he knew about this, and he wrote a report on purpose to publish it on the "Daily News", but it was suppressed. He refused to accept the editor and asked for an explanation, so he was taken to see him unexpectedly Prime Minister Fang, and that is the editor-in-chief of Zhao Jialou.

If he remembered correctly, the portrait was of the current crown prince. The Hongmeng Sect incident had not been reported, but he vaguely guessed something because of his attention.

Speaking of which, why does this inexplicably familiar person in front of him resemble the portrait?

The reporter suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Chengyi's eyebrows and eyes, and reacted, "Are you—"

Zhou Chengyi didn't expect to be recognized by people just by chatting casually, so he hurriedly made a silent gesture, with a helpless expression on his face, and at the same time began to wonder in his heart, did he have something "100% seen through the vest" on his body? "The buff?

At this time, I really want to have a system to check the attributes, but there are often crashes, but the system does not exist at all.

The reporter was also very sensible and covered his mouth and did not dare to yell loudly, but his mind was vividly recalling what Zhou Chengyi said earlier, His Royal Highness said that he came to wait for his lover to take the exam, but it is well known that the crown prince has not married a concubine, and has always kept himself clean.

Could it be that the crown princess is taking the exam this time, that is, the future queen?

The reporter cheered up immediately. The closer the college entrance examination was, the more he dared not relax his eyes staring at the entrance of Taixue. No matter whether the news could be published in the end, it could not hinder his desire to write a report.

About a quarter of an hour before the entrance exam, the door of the Taiyuan Academy suddenly opened, and a red figure was slowly walking from the corridor.

Red is a happy event, and the champion wears a big red robe and a big red flower when he is parading around the street, so there are not many candidates wearing red clothes for reference. There are not many people in red shirts.

Zhou Chengyi recognized Fang Guanyan almost immediately, strode forward and waited for him at the nearest position of the Habayashi Army cordon, "Ayan!"

"Have you handed in the paper ahead of time?" Zhou Chengyi asked.

Fang Guanyan nodded, "It's all finished, and there's nothing to change after checking it. After staying in it for a long time, it's boring, so I handed it in ahead of time."

"It's not too short of a quarter of an hour." Zhou Chengyi rubbed his head, and Fang Guanyan smiled brightly.

The two were about to get in the carriage and leave, but they were stopped by the reporter who reacted. He was quite excited, "I am a reporter from Zhaojialou. Are you Tang Zigu? Can I ask you some questions?"

Fang Guanyan looked at Zhou Chengyi questioningly, confirmed that he was really a reporter from Zhaojialou, then nodded, not caring about his wrong surname, and introduced himself, "I am Fang Guanyan, named Zigu."

The reporter blushed immediately, apologized again and again, and then asked questions. First, he confirmed that Fang Guanyan's identity was actually the son of Prime Minister Fang. Facing the literary master and son of his immediate boss whom he admired, he did not ask too much after all. The whole article revolves around this imperial examination.

A little sharper should be the view on women's imperial examinations. Fang Guanyan is a pure prince faction, so he naturally agrees.

Finally, when asked about the difficulty of the imperial examination, Fang Guanyan thought about it carefully, compared the real questions he had done over the years, and replied, "This year's imperial examination is a little more difficult. The last topic of the policy discussion is the promotion and breeding of new crops in agronomy. Maybe most people don't have it." Prepare."

The reporter was stunned when he heard this topic, and thought he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly asked again, "I'm really ashamed, so it turns out that agronomy is also a subject of policy theory?"

"The key point here is the promotion method, so don't be so entangled." Fang Guanyan told him kindly.

The reporter twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help complaining, "The person who came up with this question is really talented, I'm afraid that the test of this question is quite bad."

The question maker, Zhou Chengyi, touched his nose.

At the beginning, the emperor gave Zhou Chengyi two choices: invigilate the exam and write questions.

Zhou Chengyi didn't want to choose any of them, but he didn't choose the emperor and he wouldn't let him go. Zhou Chengyi finally chose the topic, and he won the strategy theory in one draw. Fortunately, the topic was a subjective one. He turned over and over the current affairs in his mind, Finally, a question was asked from the four aspects of scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce.

Scholars are naturally military and political. Now that Cangzhou is at war, Zhou Chengyi directly used the case of Zhong Liyue's thousands of light cavalry to attack the city and attack the Western Regions to write a question. He gave information about the environment, military opponents, etc., and asked candidates to write a battle plan.

In terms of industry, Zhou Chengyi pointed out the point of invention and innovation. This topic mainly needs people's brains;

Zhou Chengyi didn't expect the four topics to be such a coincidence, so he got on the one about agriculture.

Zhou Chengyi originally thought that this was the only question he had passed the examination paper, until Yu Ying was the second to leave the examination room, and was also stopped by reporters.

Only then did he know that the topic of invention and innovation did not come from policy theory, but from the additional questions in classical Chinese. Moreover, this topic is very tempting. Not ideal, and it is likely to enter the Ministry of Industry.

At that time, everyone who turned to this topic gasped in shock. No matter whether they would or not, they were all racking their brains to write.

The reporter didn't expect this to happen, so he gasped and asked nervously, "What did you write about that question? Can you tell me?"

Yu Ying said very frankly, "I didn't write it."

The reporter later interviewed others, and some said they had written indiscriminately, while others had no idea that there were additional questions at the back of the paper, and there was a sound of wailing, as if countless treasures had been lost.

In fact, there are quite a few people who didn’t write. Fang Guanyan was one of them. It’s not that he didn’t want to write, but he really didn’t know how to write. There are six exams in total, and when all the papers are added together, only this question is blank.

After getting into the carriage, Fang Guanyan couldn't help but say, "This question is... very targeted."

"..." Zhou Chengyi agreed blankly, "You're right."

The author has something to say: Small theater (if there is a hot search)

Hot search 1: House Gu participated in the college entrance examination and exploded

Hot search 2: The author of the question wants me to die

Hot search 3: Agronomic innovation in policy theory, science and technology innovation in classical Chinese

Hot search 4: The title of bt was created by the prince! ! !Explosion (immediately airborne first)
