Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 578 The Imperial Examination Begins [Part [-]]

After a lot of struggling and deliberation, Han Yuan finally wrote the short-answer questions.

The first question of the short-answer questions is; Narrative of Emperor Gaozu Wu's conquest of King Shichong. 'Note, handwriting is illegible, no points'.

Seeing this question, Han Yuan finally had some confidence in his mind. This is the edict issued by the late emperor in recent years. He has read it and has an impression.

Taking a breath, Han Yuan flattened the test paper, straightened his back, picked up the pen, first answered on the 'scratch paper' issued by the examiner, and then filled in the test paper after confirming that it was correct.

On the other hand, the clever Wang Dezhen has already begun to write the "Li" volume.

He has written a lot of papers, but there are also many empty ones. There is no way, the exam is too complicated, how can he answer all the questions correctly in a short time.

However, paperwork is not easy.

The question type is the same as the paper, divided into multiple choice questions, fill in the blank questions, and short answer questions.

But every question in the test paper involves a lot of calculations, which is not knowledge that can be memorized by the brain alone.

as one of the questions;
Our side has an army of [-], and the enemy has an army of [-]. How many more soldiers and horses can we add, which can be three times the enemy's strength and [-] more?

Wang Dezhen looked at the title and sighed slightly.

How can this be an imperial examination? This is clearly a "difficult disease" written for a learned and talented Confucian.

In the future, if you want to take the imperial examination and become an official, you must know everything about astronomy and geography throughout the ages!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the question you asked is too difficult!

When the scholars saw the examination papers, they all sighed.

At the same time, the examiners looked at the test papers in their hands and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Kong Gong, your question is too difficult." A doctor of the Imperial College muttered, "I don't know how many people have commented on the "Shangshu" in the past. How can I write them all?"

Kong Yingda helped the chair, and said: "Your Majesty said, five points for filling in the blanks, and one point for each person who writes it out. Besides, I don't think that the scholars will not know this question. You say my question is difficult. , I also said that the reasoning paper is difficult, what kind of questions are those, and the brain can be confused."

Hearing this, everyone nodded with deep understanding, and then turned their eyes to Li Chunfeng in the corner.

He and His Majesty worked out the topic of the test paper together.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Li Chunfeng didn't know why.

"You know why?"

"Why?" Lu Deming asked.

"Why do you see the sails first on the shore instead of the whole big ship?" Li Chunfeng asked naively.

The doctors of Guozijian looked at each other in blank dismay, then shook their heads at the same time.

The child became stupid after returning from the East China Sea, and asked everyone he saw, "Why do big ships see the sails first when they come from the sea?" '.

The person who caused all this didn't tell Li Chunfeng, but the child was so anxious that he could only think hard every day, like a fool.

Everyone no longer cared about Li Chunfeng, but talked about the test paper again.

Lu Deming said: "I took a rough look at the three papers, none of which was simple. There are some things that even the old man can't answer. However, according to His Majesty, the answers to the papers and papers are fixed. As long as you are knowledgeable and talented, you will definitely get high marks. As for Ce Wen, it is not easy."

Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another.

There are only two questions in the policy question, each fifty points.

The first question is relatively simple, and it asks about the great politics of the Tang Dynasty since the new king came to the throne.It seems that the answer seems to be fixed, but it is actually an argumentative essay.

Candidates have to find evidence to prove their point of view.So what is the evidence?What edicts the imperial court has promulgated and what they have done in the past few years must be listed one by one.

The most difficult is the second question, which asks what should be done in the future of Datang.

This question has a lot to say, the answer is not fixed, but whatever you say, as long as it makes sense, you can give points.

At the same time, this is also an excellent opportunity to put forward your own political opinions.

Three days later, the exam was over.

The scholars walked out of the examination room, as if they had passed away.

Many people began to laugh at the correct answers, and hid their faces and ran away when they were wrong.At the same time, the test papers also began to be released to the ruling and opposition parties.

Many ministers who claimed to be knowledgeable and talented got a copy at the first time and went home to answer the questions.

Among them was Fang Xuanling.

In the study room, Lao Fang wrote for a long time before he wrote a small half of the paper.Then, he stopped writing.

"What's the matter?" His wife, Lu Shi, was drinking sugar water and asked him casually.Recently, the emperor bestowed ten bolts of high-quality silk on the old house, all of which were handed over to Mrs. Lu, which made her very happy.

"Difficult!" Lao Fang sighed: "It's not easy, it's really not easy. Anyone who can get a high score is definitely an all-rounder!"

Only now did Fang Xuanling understand why the emperor insisted on changing the content of the exam.The test here is too broad.

If any candidate can get a high score, it is definitely a genius who is one in a hundred.Not to mention knowing astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, but at least reading books has broken through thousands of volumes.

"Then how many points can you get?" Lu asked curiously.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, and said: "It should be able to get two hundred points."

Lu Shi said: "A total of [-] points, you only take this point?"

a little?
Fang Xuanling was very angry, "You write it and see how many points you can get!"

Hearing this, Lu frowned, "I didn't hear what you said just now, please trouble your husband to say it again."

"I said, I'm ashamed, I can only get [-] points, I should study more." Fang Xuanling replied sullenly.

Lu Shi nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, the new type of imperial examination papers spread throughout the Chang'an government and the public, and even the common people gathered to discuss this matter.

The smart courtiers could see that the emperor took out this kind of test paper to catch natural talents.

Those who corrected the test papers were Kong Yingda, Lu Deming, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other talented people.The courtiers who corrected the test papers held different official positions, and the only similarity was that they were smart.

Since there were not many candidates this time, it only took two days to complete the correction of the test papers.

The candidate with the highest score was Han Yuan, with a score of [-] points.

A little worse than him was Wang Dezhen, who scored [-] points.

Under these two, the score dropped by sixty points.

political affairs hall.

"Anyone with less than [-] points will not be taken." Li Zhiyun ordered Han Yuan and Wang Dezhen's exam papers in his hands.

In a word, Li Zhiyun's meaning is obvious, this time there are only two people.

"Yes." Zhao Cijing responded.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun asked, "Who is this Han Yuan?"

"Your Majesty, this person is the son of Dali Temple Minister Han Zhongliang." Du Ruhui replied.

Han Zhongliang?
Li Zhiyun froze, then narrowed his eyes.

Come to think of it, isn't this Han Yuan the prime minister of the Gaozong Dynasty in history?

Sure enough, no matter how history changes, smart people are still smart people.

Wait, Wang Dezhen seems to be the prime minister of Gaozong Dynasty too!
Gan!
How lucky is he to catch two big fish this time?

Originally, seeing the pitifully small number of candidates taking part in the imperial examination this time, Li Zhiyun was really disheartened.

Unexpectedly, there is such luck.

Yes, the needle does not poke!

"Okay, okay." Li Zhiyun chuckled.

He was the one who issued the test paper, and he knew very well how difficult it was to get a high score.

These two people can get more than [-] points. Not to mention omniscient and omnipotent, at least they have a lot of troubles in their stomachs. They are definitely better than those wastes who can only sit and talk about Taoism.

Xue Shou asked: "Your Majesty, how will these two people be arranged?"

"What do you think?" Li Zhiyun asked.

Yang Gongren said without hesitation: "It can be delegated to local officials."

Li Zhiyun chuckled, thinking it was a joke, how could such a talent be put down to become an official?Then what imperial examinations did he do?
Now that the imperial examination has been launched this time, it must be made bigger, so that everyone knows what will be done if you participate in the imperial examination and get a high score!
