Chapter 272
The so-called examination room also has a serious name, which is Gongyuan.

The general examination is one of the highest-level examinations in the scientific examination. Moreover, candidates from all over the country come to Beijing to catch up for the examination. Naturally, it will be much more grand than the scale of the rural examination. Shen Yi once saw a book describing the general examination in Liquan Building. The data It's not exact, but it's possible.

Before going to the south, when Chen Guo was still a unified dynasty, the number of applicants for each examination should be around 3000, and the most was nearly 4000.

After crossing to the south, only half of the country left by the ancestors remained, and the corresponding number of candidates was much less. There were more than 60 trials in the past 20 years, and at the beginning there were only less than 3000 candidates for reference. The number of applicants referred to in the previous examination has also returned to [-].

However, the acceptance rate is still not very high, about 5.00% to [-]%, and the most admission rate is only [-]%.

You must know that each of these candidates is a master of Juren, and they are all masters of Juren who have been killed through layers of scientific examinations. Among the masters of Juren, they can't even choose one out of ten, which shows the cruelty of this test!
In this year's general examination, the number of people taking the exam has also reached more than 3000. A long queue formed at the gate of the Gongyuan, divided into several rows, and then entered the Gongyuan in batches to be searched by the officials.

Although the candidates who are now referred to are all qualified Juren lords, they still don't have much face in front of the clerks of the Ministry of Rites. The clerks will still conduct body searches roughly, and sometimes ask candidates to take off their clothes.

But for the sake of the exam, for the title of the gold list in the palace exam, everyone still held their noses and endured it.

Because Shen Yi came early, he was in the middle of the queue. He queued from dawn to dawn, and when he became familiar with the two candidates before and after, he was finally in the queue.

Although Shen Yi was young, he already had quite a lot of experience in scientific examinations. He calmly accepted the body search of the Yacha, and after verifying his identity, he received his examination card from the Yacha.

His room number was written on the examination card.

Number 27 in yellow.

Shen Yi took his number plate and searched for a long time in the tribute courtyard before finally finding his examination room. After entering the examination room and putting down the examination basket, Shen Yi simply tidied up the hygiene in the examination room as before. .

The examination room of the Gongyuan is no different from the examination room of the township examination. There are two boards. When you are not sleeping, one board is used as a table, and the other board is used as a chair. When you are sleeping, spread the two boards together. It became a small bed.

It's still a small bed that you have to curl your legs to sleep on. According to Gongyuan, this thing allows a man to bend and stretch.

The examination process of the general examination is basically similar to that of the rural examination.

There are three exams, one for three days, a total of nine days.

There is even no difference in the content of the exam. It is the first session of posting classics, Mo Yi or test posting poems, etc., the second session of essays, and the third session of policy theory.

After all, for liberal arts exams, that's all the questions come out, and there will be no more tricks.

It's just that during the provincial examination, Shen Yi was only competing with scholars from Gyeonggi, but now Shen Yi is competing with Juren lords from all over the country, or the "academic elite" of this era!

Most of these academic elites are older than Shen Yi, and most of them have been studying since childhood, which means that they will only read more books than Shen Yi, not less than Shen Yi.

If you want to stand out among these "academic elites", you must not only be able to do the questions, but also do the questions well.

For example, if you want to translate and explain a sage's quotation, if you want to enter the eyes of the two chief examiners and sixteen fellow examiners, you must translate it well and explain it reasonably. It is best to stand out from the crowd and bring forth the new.

As for miscellaneous essays and policy theory, different people have different opinions. As for composition, everyone's judgment standards are different.

After Shen Yi cleaned the examination room, he glanced at the entrance of the Tribute Court. At this moment, not all the candidates had entered the Tribute Court. Shen Yi knew in his heart that the exam would not be able to start for a while, so he yawned. Catch up on sleep on the bed.

Replenish your energy and store up your energy to achieve success in no time.

When Shen Yi opened his eyes, it was the clerk at the door of his examination room who woke him up by beating the gong. After the clerk from the Ministry of Rites woke Shen Yi up, he looked Shen Yi up and down, and said with a smile: "I have seen Chunwei several times. It's the first time someone has slept so soundly on the Chunwei bed."

Shen Yi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, took the exam paper and manuscript paper from the yamen through the window, and thanked him.

He forced a smile.

"I'm so sleepy, I need to sleep when I should."

The reason why I took the test papers from the window instead of opening the door was because the door of the test room was locked.

Within three days, before Shen Yi handed in the paper, he couldn't get out.

After the yamen servant handed out the examination papers, he smiled at Shen Yi.

"I wish the little master high school, the title of the gold list."

Shen Yi put away the manuscript paper and thanked him.

"Thank you, brother Jiyan..."

………………

When Master Shen was locked in the tribute courtyard to take the exam, His Majesty the emperor in the palace who was the same age as Shen Yi was also going through an exam in his life.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting in front of his mother with his hands lowered obediently at the ceremony in the Kunde Palace, with a respectful expression, not at all the appearance of a Ninth Five-Year Lord.

Because the person sitting in front of him was none other than his aunt and mother-in-law, the empress dowager!

The Empress Dowager Sun sat on the soft couch and put back the cup of tea she had already drank, then she looked at the little emperor quietly, and said, "Your Majesty, before the New Year's Eve last year, you promised your mother to say This year, I must choose a concubine to stand up as a queen."

The empress dowager was a little angry: "It's almost March now, and the Ai family has found you twenty or even ten girls, so none of them are in your heart?"

The little emperor smiled awkwardly, and said: "Mother, my son has a lot of things to do recently, and I really don't have the time to choose a concubine for a big wedding, so let's wait until the son is busy, and then choose Xianli in the second half of the year." How about after?"

Empress Dowager Sun frowned and asked, "What is the emperor up to?"

When this topic was brought up, the little emperor immediately became more talkative, and he said, "After returning to his mother, at the beginning of this year, my ministers resigned from two chancellors, so that now Zhongshu Province sends more documents to Deqing Hall every day, compared to before. Nearly [-]% more, my son is so busy every day..."

Speaking of this, the emperor gave a wry smile, and said: "Besides, today is the day of the Chunwei test, and the minister is about to have the first batch of Jinshi after the pro-government..."

"These things will take the second half of the year to finish, and..."

The little emperor glanced around, and the palace servants of Kunde Palace immediately understood, and they all bowed and retreated.

The little emperor took a deep breath, and continued: "Furthermore, Queen Mother, the north has become more and more restless lately. If one fails, the two Huaihe Rivers will fight again. My son has to focus on the court..."

"These things you said..."

Empress Dowager Sun slightly lowered her eyebrows and said: "How can there be one thing that compares to choosing a concubine after standing up?"

"You are the emperor of our Li family!"

Empress Dowager Sun taught: "The biggest purpose of you sitting in this position is nothing else, but to continue the blood of the Li family, so as to ensure that my great Chen Jiangshan will last forever!"

Empress Dowager Sun's young face was full of firmness.

"Get married as soon as possible, and give the court and our Li family a national foundation!"
