[Comprehensive] Abandoned Prince Survival Story

The content of the imperial examination is divided into three levels, and one subject is tested every five days, which can be regarded as a rest for candidates.

The first level is the simplest, silently reading, silently writing any article from any hundred schools.

Chen Ping took a deep breath, closed his eyes and meditated, then suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the bamboo slips on the case, picked up his pen and ink, and silently recited the "Tao Te Ching" which he knew best by heart.

Although the "Tao Te Ching" has only [-] characters, it was considered a huge volume at that time. Therefore, when Chen Ping finished silently, many people had already silently finished their articles and were checking whether there were any shortcomings in the content of the article.

Chen Ping was quite confident in his memory ability. Although he had finished writing the papers, he was not in a hurry to check them. Instead, he came to observe the students closely.

His Majesty wants to recruit talents through examinations, and students with good grades can be appointed officials. As soon as the news spread, Xianyang City immediately boiled.

Not only those students who have no connections to become followers are excited, even those students who have become followers of a certain high-ranking official are also extremely excited, hoping to take the opportunity to soar into the sky.

Therefore, although it was only half a month from the announcement of the exam to the official start of the exam, students from Lu Yuan could not come to Xianyang for reference, and the number of references reached 5000 this time.

There were so many people, and no room except the main hall of Xianyang Palace could accommodate so many people, so Li Si, who was in charge of the examination, specially borrowed a large school hall from the lieutenant who was in charge of guarding Xianyang Palace to use it as an examination room.

There are long tables and cushions in the middle of the school field, on which are written the candidates' names and seat numbers, so that candidates can find their seats in the first time.

As an examinee, although this era is not like the Ming and Qing Dynasties where you have to take off your clothes for inspection, you will also search for items you have carried. You can bring your own pen, ink and inkstone, but anything with writing, especially bamboo slips and cloth, must not be brought in. field.

Dissatisfied?If you don't agree, just hold back!Either roll or take the exam!

Outside the school grounds, on the inner three floors and the outer three floors sat heavily armed Qin soldiers standing with spears. These Qin soldiers were there to protect the safety of the school grounds and maintain order in the examination room;

Fortunately, the content of the first test is very simple. In fact, it is just to check everyone's calligraphy and proficiency in their own books.

The state of Qin pays the most attention to the law, and there are strict rules about characters. Basically, as long as you use the characters of the state of Qin normally, and then write according to the words of Master Li Si and Master Zhao Gao, you can basically pass the test.

Why follow the words of Master Li Si and Master Zhao Gao?Not only because these two are close friends of Yingzheng, and Yingzheng is most familiar with their characters, but also because they are the first and second calligraphers in Qin State, so when new characters were published years ago, Fusu especially Let the two of them transcribe the new text, then compile it into a book, distribute it to the whole country, and ask officials all over the country to follow this font when they submit brief notes.

It has been a year since the introduction of the new characters. One year is not enough time for you, an adult scholar, to learn a new character and font. This is either stupid and hopeless, or you have a homeland in your heart.

These two kinds of people, no matter which one is not suitable to come to Daqin to be an official.

Therefore, after the first round of exams, the pass rate reached 90.00% or more, which means that at least 5000 of the 4000 people passed.

But when it comes to the second round of exams, the questions are not so simple. The second round of exams is a comprehensive question, and the content of the exam is the six arts of a gentleman.

The six arts of a gentleman are rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics. The translation is "Zhou Li", music, archery, horseback riding, Chinese, and mathematics.

Because it was a literary test, archery and horseback riding were excluded, but some common sense content was reserved in the test questions, such as the precautions for horseback riding and the like.

Only the student union is required, no proficiency is required, basically any student who has studied can pass.

Music is definitely not like modern times, asking you to sing a song or dance, but to take the exam together with "Zhou Li".

The so-called "ritual and music" by the ancients refers to "etiquette" and "music".

The simplest example, what kind of song to sing in which mountain, what kind of music to play on what occasion, you have to know this, right?

Even in modern times, you can't play "Today Is a Good Day" at a funeral.

Chinese, that is the content of the first and third exams.

Therefore, after removing these four less important knowledge points, the key content of the second round of exams is "Zhou Li" and mathematics.

"Zhou Li" is a question posed by those Confucian old men in the Ph.D. Academy. It is not too difficult, but it is certainly not easy. Those who have not studied "Zhou Li" seriously will not be able to answer these questions at all.

Mathematics was originally a question asked by someone from the Mohist School, but it is actually not difficult. The translation is "a pool has two channels, one channel for water intake and one channel for drainage, how long will it take to fill the pool", "there are How many chickens and rabbits are there in total? How many heads and legs are there? How many chickens and rabbits are there?

If a student from later generations came to take the exam, he would definitely find that "Zhou Li" was difficult but mathematics... Has the teacher who wrote the question graduated from primary school?But as an ancient student, although "Zhou Li" is a bit difficult, but "Zhou Li" is used in every aspect of life, and the test is not so confusing, but mathematics is different, what the hell are these things?Going to the street to buy vegetables does not use such complicated content.

All the students burst into tears!

In this exam, the elimination rate reached 90.00%. Five, the original more than 4000 people, all of a sudden there are only about [-] people left.

But if you pay, you will get something. As soon as the list of 200 people came out, many students who were previously unknown became celebrities all of a sudden.

For these promising celebrities, people are scrambling to curry favor, some give money, some give land, and some even send daughters for marriage.

Why do you say that so many people rushed to curry favor after passing the second round of exams?nonsense!After the third round of exams, you mere mortal, do you still want to curry favor with future high-ranking officials?

You want to say again, what if you pass the second round of exams but not the third round?

This is more nonsense!

The abnormality of the second round of exam questions proves that this exam has a high gold content, so those who can pass the second round at least have no problems in the six arts of gentlemen. It is more than enough for a Shangguan to be a guest of a high-ranking official, or to go home and host a party in the village.

Chen Ping was the youngest and best-looking person who passed the second round of examinations. Although many senior officials knew his details and would not take action against him, it did not mean that others would not take action against him.

Since the list came out, the threshold of Chen Ping's family has almost been broken by those who seek help and help, and most of them are mediators.

The most exaggerated thing is that there are women throwing all kinds of fruits outside the yard every day, crying and clamoring to marry Chen Ping.

Fortunately, Fusu was prepared and sent many experts to protect Chen Ping's safety. Otherwise, one night, Chen Ping might be kidnapped by some overbearing rich girl and sent to the bridal chamber.

Handsome!Just irritability!

Chen Ping drank the tonic soup specially sent by Fusu, and said to Fusu in a particularly awkward tone: "It would be nice if Ping didn't look so good-looking?"

hehe!If you weren't so good-looking, my sister wouldn't like you at all!

Haven't you noticed that nourishing soups are all for beauty?

Fusu silently turned her head to the side.

With the nourishment of the love nourishing soup, Chen Ping, who had been physically and mentally exhausted by the unexpected guests recently, regained his vitality and stepped into the examination room of the final round of the exam in good spirits.

It is still the same big campus, but the redundant long case has been withdrawn long ago. The center of the campus that was crowded with people is now empty, which seems quite desolate.

In the blink of an eye, the exam questions were sent out.

This round of exam questions is writing essays, of course, not drawing questions from the Four Books and Five Classics like later generations. Pentateuch.

Therefore, there are a total of ten questions this time, the first nine are multiple-choice questions, and you can choose a topic to write an essay. The content ranges from military affairs to politics, from history to culture, and you can choose whatever you want.

The last one is a compulsory question. The translation is, if you become an official of Daqin, how can you teach Daqin how to work for Daqin to death with what you have learned.

Everyone answered the previous question very quickly. After all, there are specialties in art, so just choose the one you are best at.

The last mandatory question stumped many people, because most people were sworn enemies with Qin State two years ago, and now even if they sold themselves into Qin State, they wanted to be hypocritical, but now Qin State asked them to write this kind of question. Allegiance to the clerk is really annoying.

While muttering in their hearts, all the examinees kept writing the test papers, expressing their love for the motherland.

Everyone's body is also very honest today!

After the last round of exams, 200 people left 100 people.

The first place in this exam... is not Chen Ping, but a son of the Confucius family in Shandong. After all, he is from a famous family, and his leg hair is thicker than others.

No.2... It's not Chen Ping, but a scholar from Chu. Only Chu has talents and flourishes here. Just think about Li Si, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Xiao He, and Han Xin, all of whom are from Chu.

No.3... Thankfully, it was finally Chen Ping's turn.

"The third...it's actually the third..." Looking at the names on the list, Chen Ping bit his lower lip tightly with his teeth, his eyes were red with tears, and he clenched his fists and couldn't stop shaking.

Those who know Chen Ping, seeing his appearance, at first thought that he was happy because he was on the list and his ranking was good. It is normal to cry with joy, but after watching for a long time, he realized that this guy is really sad. I am sad that I am not No.1 but No.3.

Such a cheap and good-looking guy, what should I do if I want to fight so badly?

In Xianyang Palace, Fusu drank delicious nourishing soup, looked at his sister who was flushed in the face, but definitely had nothing to do with shyness, sighed and said: "It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay. If you stay and stay, you will become enemies. Help me!" You worry about your marriage, and you still have to be treated like this."

"Hmph!" He Hua said in a weeping tone as he took a long picture, "Tell you! I don't want to marry a bastard surnamed Kong!"
