fake prince

Chapter 325 Two to three points is enough

"County exams are difficult, prefectural exams are difficult, provincial exams are especially difficult, general exams are easy, and palace exams are especially easy." Sitting in the exam room, Su Ziji looked at the environment and couldn't help expressing his emotion.

This may not be the case in the previous dynasty, but in this dynasty, starting from the Taizu, there were not many candidates who could go to the test. Therefore, these candidates are often treated more leniently.

This does not mean that the discipline is looser, but that the environmental treatment is much stronger.

Different from the local examinations, one can take the Tribute Court Examination, and all those who pass the examination will be the future colleagues of the officials of the DPRK and China.

Although the literati look down on each other, they are easy to hurt each other in certain things, and they will try to reform with scholars, and they did not encounter obstacles at the beginning.

Although with the passage of time, the number of scholars gradually increased, and there were some voices in the court, hoping that the imperial court would return to the previous court, but they were all ignored by the emperor.

The current emperor, as he grows older, the power of the Holy Judgment will become stronger. The test was originally scheduled for February, but considering that since he ascended the throne, there will often be snowfall in February, and it is really cold in spring, so he decreed to change it to March.

The weather is much better now, at least Su Ziji doesn't feel cold when sitting in the numbered room with only three partitions, the sun and rain above his head, and the unobstructed view in front.

As far as the eyes can see, most of the candidates who sat down also had normal expressions, and they did not appear to be trembling.

Today's weather is fine, the sun has not yet risen yet, but in the Gongyuan, if you look up and look in the middle of the sky, you can vaguely see the clear sky.

"It seems to be a good weather, which is a good omen." With the slightly sweet taste of glutinous rice balls on the tip of his tongue, Su Ziji was in a good mood, sitting and waiting for the papers to be issued and the test cards to appear.

But the soldier who appeared afterward, holding something in his hand, was beyond Su Ziji's expectation.

"It's not a card test?"

Seeing someone handing out mulberry roll bags from room to room, Su Ziji took the roll bags, opened them, and understood.

"One set of exam papers will be issued to each person, and the exam questions will be printed directly on it."

"Thousands of people's examination papers, the ink is still fresh, this is a temporary printed paper, this is a big project, and we have to guard against someone leaking the questions during the process."

"That is to say, the chief examiner of the examination can have such courage."

"However, it may just be the emperor's request." Su Ziji just thought about it casually, and then focused on the exam questions.

When it came to the exam, there were no small questions, a total of seven papers and seven questions.

In this roll bag, except for the answer paper, the rest is draft paper.

There are enough draft papers, more than a dozen sheets, but these cannot be taken out. When the scrolls are collected, they must be taken away together and sealed.

Therefore, when answering questions in the general examination, it is on the draft paper. Candidates dare not write at will. They have to think about it before writing.

"The next four questions are relatively small questions."

After Su Ziji browsed through it, he knew it well: "The first three questions are relatively important, and the most important one is the first question."

"Every step is difficult"

Taking a closer look, Su Ziji couldn't help but change his face. This question makes people look at it, and the timid people will probably break out in cold sweat.

This topic is simply too big.

"What is the sky, the sky is the sky, but it is impossible for the imperial court to let the candidates try to figure out the will of the heavens. This is a big taboo. Whoever examines the questions for this purpose will definitely be finished."

"So the sky can only be the emperor or the court."

"The steps of the sky are difficult. It can be said that the imperial court has passed through the Taizu. For more than [-] years, the people's livelihood has recovered and gradually reached its peak. If there is no accident, it will be a prosperous era, and the reproduction of livelihoods will gradually reach its peak."

"This has already hit the topic, but I thought about it in private, the real prosperity may still be in the next generation, and this day is difficult. Does it mean that the emperor himself is old?"

Su Ziji was silent.

Even if someone thought of this matter, how many dare to answer like this?

No matter how reckless I am, I dare not.

The room was quiet for a while, and the sound of the candidates next door flipping the papers and the sighs of the candidates not far away could be heard clearly.

Everyone knows that this question is not easy to answer.

"Heaven refers to the imperial court or the emperor, but adding the word "bu" means not only the emperor himself, but the development of the entire imperial court."

"Imperial governance is climbing a mountain. When you start climbing, no matter where you go, you will go uphill. At most, the process will be more twists and turns. Once you reach the top of the mountain, you will go downhill no matter how hard you work. This has been proven throughout the ages.”

"Or, this is the law of rise and fall."

"It's just that the ancients said that Qi counts the destiny, and it goes back and forth. It's actually the same thing."

"When the prosperity declines, the sky cannot be crossed."

"So this day is difficult. In fact, the emperor is aware of the rise and fall. He has not yet reached the peak of prosperity, but he is worried about the decline of prosperity, the eclipse of the full moon, and the loss of wealth?"

"This is really far-sighted, but to be honest, every dynasty, Mingjun and famous ministers always feel that they can transcend the law of rise and fall, but history has proved that this is something that no one has ever done since ancient times."

"His heart is lamentable, his ambition is insane. Just as a party, he has to do his best. If he prolongs the country, he proves the value of his existence."

The examination questions are cleared, but until the sun rises high, a gust of wind blows and the papers are rattled.

Only then did Su Ziji move.

He raised his hand to the highest point, slowly lowered it, and when he reached the head, he shook his head secretly, even if he suppressed it a bit, he still had to die if he wrote like this.

Putting his hands on his chest, he shook his head again, and asked himself: "What is the virtue of the prince and grandson? Mostly, the job of the prince is to serve the imperial court and ask Anshi to eat!"

This is the words of a famous official in the former court, which means that the prince's responsibility is not to govern, but to greet his father and emperor sooner or later, and ask about food (eating).

He pressed down to his waist again, and thought for a while: "With such a pressure, maybe the talent is not so sharp? After all, I am not a real grandson, so I have to show myself."

"Since ancient times, the suspicion has been as deep as that of a father and son. The text can be twelve points, and only two or three points is enough!"

Just thinking this way, Su Ziji suddenly felt that he was too sophisticated.

Even if this is the case, you can't just say it casually, it will shock many lovely hearts of Ah Cao and Ah Hua.

Su Ziji smiled, then stopped, picked up the pen, and swiped across the draft paper.

After writing this question, the sun has risen high, there is a rumbling sound in the abdomen, and there is the sound of clappers not far away. This means that food and water are coming.

Su Ziji was in a daze, and it was already noon.

Put the paper into the roll bag well, hang it aside, so as not to get dirty for a while, get up again, and walk slowly in the number room, moving the limbs and joints to avoid soreness and discomfort.

In less than a while, food was delivered to him.

One of the two soldiers put the boiled water in a wooden pot, which was still steaming, and put it on the wooden board horizontally on the table. There was also a basket of cooked food, all of which were easy-to-storage pancakes. There were five kinds of them, and they contained five grains. .

The reason why they can cook in the No. room when they are in the local area, but when they come to the exam, they are all distributed by the Gongyuan on a uniform basis. One is to show compassion for the candidates, and the other is to fear accidents.
