Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 420 Exam questions!

Su Chen walked into the examination room slowly, and sat in the examination room. It was a row of long buildings, three sides were walls, and one side was empty. There was a table and stools inside, about a few square meters of space.

Candidates are separated from each other by walls and cannot see each other's examination papers at all.

Moreover, there is no standard answer for this kind of literature test, and copying is useless.

Several examiners entered the arena. Xu Xuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied by Wang Yuechao, the governor of Runzhou, and Quan Hengzhi, the new prefect of Runzhou, sat on the high platform where the chief examiner was in the examination room. Rules and details.

"Tang Guoqiu has been held once a year for the past few years, in order to select more talents and bring benefits to scholars. This is the great grace of the imperial court!"

The sigh of the new prefect of Runzhou.

This person came from the Quan family in Runzhou, the scholarly family. His ancestor Quan Deyu was originally from Lueyang, Tianshui, and later moved to Runzhou, where he multiplied and lived.Quan Deyu was a litterateur and prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, and the son of Quan Gao, who lived in the house.

Quan Deyu was in charge of the imperial edict for nine years, and he was awarded three tributes.

The Tang Dynasty fell, and the five generations changed. The Quan family stayed in Runzhou for 200 years. Although it gradually fell into disrepair, it was still a scholarly family in Runzhou. This trade-off is one of them.

Inspector Wang Yuechao said to Xu Xuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, "It is a great importance to Runzhou Qiuwei to let Mr. Xu come to Runzhou to invigilate the exam in person."

Xu Xuan smiled and said: "This year's Runzhou imperial examination, even the officials, the imperial palace, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all waiting and watching, and there must be no sloppy."

After weighing the balance, he smiled and said, "Haha, that's because Jiangzuo's number one talented person is taking part in this year's imperial examination in Runzhou. To be honest, I can't wait to see what kind of splendid writing he will write in the examination room this year." Excellent articles and poems."

Xu Xuan showed a trace of worry and said: "The imperial examinations are mostly propositional compositions. Even Li Bai, Du Funa and other literary giants in the past may not be able to win the number one scholar, or even the top one. The imperial examination articles are not only based on rhetoric, but also Praises, views on current affairs, etc., combined together, the rhyme of the article, the format of the confrontation, etc. must be standard, so that there is a chance of winning."

He weighed his head and said: "That's true. It depends on whether Su Chen can transfer his talents to the imperial examination articles. He needs to change his thinking. However, if the articles are written in a brilliant and brilliant way, then no matter what content he writes, he will be able to do so. Can be on the list."

"Let's wait and see!"

Xu Xuan showed a smile. He believed in Su Chen's ability to write so many classic poems and scripts, and his talent can be said to be as good as those great poets in the previous dynasty. It should be difficult to write imperial examination articles.

At this point, all the candidates had sat down and were nervously waiting for the test papers to be issued.

For candidates, Qiuwei is the most critical moment in their lives. If they can successfully pass the Jinshi, they will jump to the Dragon Gate.

If you fail the exam, you can only go back to your hometown sadly, preparing for the next year's provincial and government exams. Sometimes the imperial exams are held every two years, sometimes once a year. I don't know how many people's time will be wasted.

"Auspicious day has arrived, roll out!"

At the hour of the hour, the test papers began to be distributed, allowing candidates to get the papers.

It was the first time for Su Chen to take this kind of ancient exam, and his mood was still very complicated.

Originally, as a soul wearer, with modern thinking, he should take feudal examinations and fame lightly. He should be proud, not to enter this big pot of official career, to be alone, to be happy and happy.

However, Su Chen soon discovered that that idea was too simple; in ancient times, the people did not compete with the rich, and the rich did not compete with the officials. Let others knead, nowhere to reason.

Therefore, after careful consideration, if Su Chen wants to achieve wealth freedom and live with dignity, he must take part in the imperial examinations, gain fame and talent, and then turn around in his official career to gain power, etc., in order to protect the interests of himself and his friends from being damaged .

On a larger level, if Su Chen wants to keep his own Su family, Bai family, Peng family, etc., he must defend Southern Tang. Otherwise, if Southern Tang is destroyed, then the Bai family, Peng family, Su family, Zhou Jiamin and others will end up. It's hard to say.

Maybe Su Chen himself will be protected in the Northern Song Dynasty because of Jiang Zuo Su Lang's talent, but it is not enough to protect the interests and safety of these families.

"Master Su, this is the test paper!" A clerk who handed out the test paper had seen Su Chen before, so he handed the test paper to Su Chen very politely.

"Thank you!"

"Come on, Mr. Su, I bet you Zhongjieyuan, 300 taels!" The clerk of the magistrate's yamen whispered, and clenched his fists, making a gesture of cheering, hoping that Su Chen could win Xieyuan.

"Definitely!" Su Chen smiled wryly in his heart, he bet 5000 taels, whether he can double his profit depends on the exam questions.

If the test questions are not related to the articles I have memorized, let alone the middle class, it will be difficult to get to the bottom of the third class.

Su Chen quickly spread out the test paper, and saw that this year's Southern Tang Qiuwei test title was: One word, one essay!
The lyrics are optional, with the title "Ode to Flowers", the general idea is to use flowers to describe people, to express a quality, or other ideas, which can be compared to flowers blooming and fading, the world is impermanent, and can express a state of mind, etc. You can use it yourself.

The title of the article is to write a "travel note", expressing a concept of governing the country, or the enlightenment of a sage, etc. through the travel note.

When Su Chen read the travel notes, he smiled knowingly, and was immediately overjoyed!

This time, Qiu Wei, it's stable! !

Han Xizai's work is still reliable!
After Su Chen finished laughing, he began to think about which poem to write.

There are some good words for singing flowers, such as Li Qingzhao's "One Cut Plum", which has been passed down through the ages, but it is more like a woman's way of thinking, so it is not suitable for the imperial examination.

"Yes, Lu You's "Bu Suanzi - Yongmei" is very suitable!"

After Su Chen moistened the pen, he pondered for a while, and now he wrote it on the draft paper, but it was not done in one go, but he wrote a few typos and sentences, pretending to conceive temporarily, and finally wrote the finished product, so that it looks realistic enough.

Then, on the answer sheet, write it down neatly.

"Bu Shuanzi-Yongmei:

Beside the broken bridge outside the post, loneliness has no owner.It's already dusk alone, but even more wind and rain.

No intention to struggle for spring, Ren Qunfang is jealous.Scattered into mud and crushed into dust, only the fragrance remains the same. "

After Su Chen finished writing, read it a bit, it was quite suitable for his current situation, because he was envied by others, so it couldn't be better to use this poem to respond to the world.

"Starting to write travel notes now, I just use Mr. Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower"!"

Yueyang Tower is located in Jinghu Lake, Dongting Hubei, on the west gate wall of Yueyang Ancient City, close to the Dongting Lake, overlooking Dongting, looking forward to Junshan. It was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty Jian'an 20 years ago. .

If Su Chen wrote this story of Yueyang Tower, it wouldn't be abrupt. The big deal is that when he was young, he once went to Jinghu with his father. Anyway, Su's father is no longer alive, so there is no evidence for his death.
