Time is passing slowly, and as the weather gradually gets colder, the imperial examination in the second year of Zhengde is also coming as scheduled, in the newly renovated Gongyuan.
More than 50,000 candidates from all over the Ming Dynasty lined up, checked their identities in a very orderly manner, checked whether there was any entrainment, and then queued up to enter, and then the exam positions were selected.
The whole process is very strict. If there is any error in any link, you will not be able to take the imperial examination. The roads around Gongyuan are closed, and officers and soldiers are on duty.
After the last candidate entered the examination room, the door of Gongyuan was slammed shut. In the next three days and two nights, more than 50,000 candidates will fight for their future here.
Hu Xiwen silently found his examination shed. The location was not very good because there was a hut not far away. In the past, this would have been a bad name.
"You can only blame yourself for being unlucky when you get a bad number. In a smelly environment, your performance will be greatly reduced. If you suffer for a few days and nights, and then lose your reputation, this is probably the worst thing.
Fortunately, this time, the imperial court restructured the Gongyuan, focusing on the latrines. It added tap water flushing, drainage systems, and sewage systems to minimize the impact. Hu Xiwen's position was no longer affected in any way.
Find the location and look carefully at the examination room. Electric lights have been installed in the examination room. As soon as the switch is turned on, the bright light will come on. It is much better than using candles before.
At the same time, you can see that electric lights are installed in many places around the examination room, and the entire examination room can be illuminated.
"However, the location of the examination booth is still cramped, and sitting is better. If I go to bed at night, I can still only curl up, which is very uncomfortable.
There is no way, this is what every scholar has to go through. It is not easy for the carp to jump over the dragon's gate. I don't know how much hardship I have to endure during the whole process. This little pain now is nothing, it is just the darkness before dawn. .
"Dang! Dang!"
"Start asking questions!"
As many candidates found their own examination booths and prepared for the exam, it was time to start the exam. Under the order of the examiner Wang Shouren, some yamen and officials began to hand out questions and walked back and forth around the examination room holding the exam questions. Let every candidate see it.
When he saw the test questions, Hu Xiwen was immediately ecstatic, because this happened to be the content he had read and reviewed carefully last night. Soon, he had a rough draft in his mind.
First, write it down on a piece of paper, and then carefully review and polish it, checking for errors and inadequacies. This imperial examination is not that easy, as there are many taboo things and contents.
For example, the surname of the emperor tomorrow is Zhu, and the character pig is a taboo. For example, today's emperor is Zhu Houzhao, which is naturally a taboo.
Another example is Zhu Di snatching the throne from his nephew. Such a thing must not happen, and it cannot even have the slightest reflection. There are also scandals such as the Tumu Fort Incident, which cannot be mentioned.
These need to be checked carefully and avoided carefully.
At the same time, you must write articles based on the examiner's preferences, etc., and write articles that conform to the examiner's political opinions and concepts, so that you can get extra points.
In short, there are too many things that need to be paid attention to in the scientific examination, especially in this kind of article-based assessment, personal subjective preferences have a great influence.
Time is passing slowly. While others are still scratching their heads and thinking about the origin of the question to solve the problem, Hu Xiwen has finished writing it very quickly, transcribing it seriously and carefully, checking repeatedly and pondering carefully.
In fact, the time for the imperial examination is very sufficient. Unlike later generations where the time was limited, candidates have enough time to carefully ponder and write slowly.
"Dang! Dang!"
"Hand in your test papers and get ready to take the new test!"
With the sound of the gong, the yamen officials quickly began to collect the answers from the candidates. The next step was to add new subject test content.
The content of the new science test is different from the previous ones. The test papers are printed in advance and handed out on site. They are similar to the test papers of the new college entrance examination. Candidates need to fill in their identity in the prescribed place and then answer the questions. The pens used are also the pens used by new students. Of course, you can also use a brush.
Hu Xiwen got the new exam papers and browsed them very quickly.
After reading it, everyone started laughing.
¡°Perhaps this is the first time that new test content has been added, so the questions this time are very simple.
For example, math decency turns out to be justNo one dares to say that they will be in high school before it is announced. "
Hu Xiwen smiled, shook his head, and then said: "Let's go back and have a good rest. Rest, and then we'll wait for the results to be released."
¡°Let¡¯s call and talk to my family first.¡±
Sun Yun suggested.
"Yes, yes, call home first."
Chen Maoyi also followed suit.
After saying that, the two of them hurriedly walked to the phone booth outside Gongyuan. There were already a large number of people queuing up to make calls.
¡°Obviously, everyone is preparing to talk to their families about this imperial examination as soon as possible. Although the results have not come out, many people actually already know that they will definitely fail.
Hu Xiwen didn¡¯t call home. The phone bill was too expensive. He decided to wait until he was in high school after the rankings were announced and call again to tell his family the good news.
As for now, Hu Xiwen is really tired. After several days and nights of exams, he is very tired in the cramped examination room. Now he just wants to have a good meal and then have a good sleep.
As for other things, we¡¯ll talk about them later.
