There is a camp outside Chang'an City.
In this camp, tents were set up one after another. Each tent is extremely spacious and can accommodate ten people to rest here. Even the tent is relatively spacious and does not seem crowded.
In summer, the weather is hot, easy to sweat, and easy to smell. But the weather is cold now, so there is no peculiar smell in the tent. Instead, there is a bit of coldness to consider.
This place is where scholars gathered.
"Any scholar who has no place to live and is in need of food and clothing can come here to live.
In the camp, not only clothing and quilts to keep out the cold are provided, but also food. Although the big pot rice in the camp is not particularly delicious, for ordinary people, it is quite good if they can eat three meals a day.
Duanmubai is one of them.
Duanmubai was nearly thirty years old, from Hanoi County, his family was poor, his parents had died, and he had a teenage brother who depended on him.
Although Duanmubai¡¯s family is poor, he is quite studious. In his early years, he learned the art of vertical and horizontal movements and studied the dialects of hundreds of schools of thought. He was quite famous in Hanoi County. It's just that Duanmu Bai was ostracized everywhere.
The reason is very simple. He is cunning and sharp in his words. He never saves face for others, so he has been unsuccessful.
Duanmubai has been struggling in Hanoi County. Because it is close to Chang'an, he learned that Wang Qi was thirsty for talents, so he went south from Hanoi County and wanted to try his luck in Chang'an.
But when he was halfway through the journey, news came out from Chang'an. Wang Qi will set up an imperial examination in December, and anyone with talent can take part.
As soon as Duanmubai heard the news, he became excited, so he hurried on his way to Chang'an. Because it was still early and there was still some time before December, he found a random place to stay and made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the imperial court arranged a unified place for the scholars who had nowhere to live to live in the army.
Duanmubai is here.
When he arrived at the camp and had a place to stay, he read in the tent all day long, and then went out for a walk after a while to stretch his muscles. After all, now in the camp, there is no need to pay money, there is food, drink and clothing.
This is a good thing that he has never encountered in his life, and he cherishes it very much.
Duanmu Bai is quite withdrawn by nature. He will not take the initiative to contact people or say hello. So this situation has been maintained.
Especially as it gets closer to December, Duanmu Bai works harder.
He is a person with ideas and ambitions.
He wants to win the first prize in one fell swoop and become the first in this imperial examination. Even if there are many people, Duanmubai has his own confidence. Because he is in his thirties and has accomplished nothing. He has been studying and studying knowledge all his life.
He is full of ambitions and talents, and he naturally has to put them to use.
It¡¯s around midnight in the afternoon. Today¡¯s weather is good. Under the warm winter sun, there is good light in the tent. Duanmu Bai has never gone out, so he is reading in the tent.
While Duanmu Bai was reading, four scholars entered.
These are the other four people living in the tent.
A camp can accommodate five people. However, because the camp is large enough, and although there are many people now, in fact, not all of them are fully occupied, so some tents have more people and some have fewer people.
The four of them sat down, laughing and talking, thinking very confidently.
One of them is named Ba Zifeng, and he is quite talkative. Among these four people, he seems to be the leader.
After all, he seems to be well-informed.
Ba Zifeng's eyes fell on Duanmubai and said: "Brother Duanmu, you read all day long. If reading was really useful, it would be enough. At this point, it will not work if you just improvise. It is better to , meet more friends, make more connections, and broaden your horizons.¡±
Duanmubai looked cold and said calmly: "I have no strength. No matter how I make friends, I will be humiliating myself and have no roots. If you are poor in the city and no one cares about you, if you are rich in the mountains you have distant relatives, as long as you have the strength. It will come naturally. Yes, there will be people to make friends with. So, instead of wasting time making friends with people and going around trying to flatter them, it¡¯s better to read a book yourself.¡±
Ba Zifeng¡¯s face froze.
I can¡¯t hold on to face.
You know, Ba Zifeng himself is also doing Duanmu Bai's good. Even though there was a touch of superiority in his words, under the current circumstances, hesp; He has forgotten what was discussed in the camp.
Choose a son-in-law from the list!
This matter has nothing to do with him now!
Duanmu finished his meal in vain, washed the dishes and continued reading. In such a boring life, time passes day by day. After entering December, time becomes faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it is already December 8th.
This day is the time set for the scientific examination.
The location of the scientific examination is the Imperial College in Chang'an City. Nowadays, the entire Imperial College has been emptied out, and a large area has been specially vacated. All the scholars in the Imperial College are even on vacation, and only the personnel responsible for invigilating the exams are left.
Duanmubai accepted the examination and entered the examination room.
This time in the imperial examination, names will not be anonymized. Please fill in your own name. Therefore, as long as the reference personnel have received the badge, they can enter the Imperial College to take the exam.
After all, it¡¯s the first time.
Many people are crossing the river by feeling the stones.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? All those who were going to take the exam entered the examination room in the Imperial Academy. After everyone entered, the examination room was sealed directly. As the bell in the Imperial Academy rang, echoing throughout the Imperial Academy, the examination papers began to be distributed.
Today¡¯s weather is excellent. The golden sunshine shines down from the clouds and mist, giving the Imperial Academy a touch of golden light. Each and every scholar who takes a look feels much better.
Exam papers were distributed one by one, and everyone in each examination room began to answer the papers.
The content of the test paper does not involve reciting poems or reciting classics silently, it is the most direct test questions. There are questions about managing local government affairs, there are questions about the adjustment of the army, there are also questions about fighting and using troops on the battlefield
There are a total of six questions in the exam.
Scholarships, agriculture, industry, and business are all covered, and the exam is extremely comprehensive.
Duanmubai is best at the art of combining vertical and horizontal lines. He is extremely proficient in military strategies, government affairs, and even the opinions of hundreds of schools of thought. After reading all the questions, Duanmu Bai felt settled.
It doesn¡¯t matter how difficult this exam question is, it¡¯s more comprehensive, that¡¯s all.
Duanmu Bai silently made some calculations in his mind, because the exam time was from morning to afternoon.
He has plenty of time.
It is true that he must think carefully, draft, and then copy.
In this way, nothing can go wrong.
Duanmu Bai thought about it carefully, and only started to do the questions when he was confident. He started to make a draft, and then waited for the draft to be completed before copying it carefully.
His handwriting is excellent, which is the reflection of Duanmubai's decades of skill.
Duanmu wrote in white, as did the rest of the scholars.
Everyone buried their heads and wrote hard.
When the entire Imperial College was silent, a carriage stopped at the gate of the Imperial College, and Wang Qi got out of the carriage.
After he arrived, as soon as he entered the Imperial Academy, Zhou Zishan came to greet him personally and asked: "Your Majesty, the assessment just started today, why are you here in person?"
Wang Qi smiled and said, "Come and take a look. After all, it's a big deal."
Zhou Zishan said: "This time the assessment is actually almost over at this point. After all, after the assessment, all you need to do is collect the test papers. However, there are indeed many problems at this point in the assessment, which have only been discovered now. Of course, these problems , we can summarize them one by one for future rectification. Some of the things that happened today made me very angry."
Wang Qidao: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Zishan said in a deep voice: "Among the scholars who entered, a total of 118 people were found with books. These people are really scholars in vain. The rules of the examination have been announced to everyone in the camp. . In addition, at the gate of the Imperial College, the order was reiterated when people entered. But there are still so many people who think that they are doing it secretly and will not be discovered. "
Wang Qi smiled and said: "I thought you were angry about something, but it turned out to be this. There are many people here, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds."
¡°It¡¯s not unusual for something like this to happen, and there¡¯s nothing surprising about it.¡±
"It's due to human nature. Even in the future, no matter how hard we try to prevent it, there will always be people who want to take risks and we can't stop them. Okay, you go about your business. I'll go take a look and see if there are any good ideas."
Wang Qidao: "Anyway, I have nothing to do now, let's take a look at the situation."
Zhou Zishan nodded, then left.
Wang Qi left behind the imperial guards and asked Xia Houhu and Xiang Peng to stay outside. Then he entered the Imperial College alone and wandered around the examination rooms of the Imperial College.
He looked all the way, sometimes frowning, sometimes slightly pleased. Among these scholars, because they had not been screened, the scholars who came for reference were mixed, and many of the questions they answered were even more embarrassing.
Wang Qi watched and walked to Duanmubai's side.
At this time, Duanmu Bai was writing furiously, copying the draft he had written. Because he was too focused, he didn't notice Wang Qi coming to his side. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The first supervisor wandered around the examination room.
