The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

In the early morning of May [-]th in the seventh year of Jinghe, Emperor Jinghe came to the palace in person in ordinary clothes.

At this time, all civil and military officials stood on both sides facing the servants.

Under the east and west eaves of the main hall, the officials of Guanglu Temple set up a test case for tributes.

A group of tributes headed by Sheng Yuan had already gathered at the outer gate of the palace, waiting for officials from the Ministry of Rites to guide them into the palace.

430 The two tributes gathered here, and it looked quite powerful from a distance; however, although there were many tributes, they all stood in an orderly and quiet manner, and no one made any noise.

Even Sheng Yuan glanced at the crowd when they first assembled, then stood obediently and waited for the roll call.

But at this glance, Sheng Yuan really found something.

For example, among the more than four hundred people, the number of girls is less than one-twentieth.

For example, there were quite a few unfamiliar faces in the visible crowd. Obviously, candidates from other places seemed to have stronger combat effectiveness.

For example, Mr. Erwuwu, who had argued with her on the debate stage before, did not seem to be among them.

For example, among the top ten candidates, none of the gentlemen except her can be called beautiful.

For example, there are many old-fashioned people in these classmates, who stared at her countless times overtly and secretly.

Sighing silently, Sheng Huiyuan felt that he had a long way to go.

"Listen carefully, all tributes! You are arranged according to the Chinese ranking in the general examination. Those with one name stand on the left, and those with two names stand on the right; the left row enters from the Anhe Gate; the right row enters from the Zhenhe Gate.

You followed the leading officials into the Danchi of the court hall, lined up in an east-west direction, and stood facing north.The sorting basis remains unchanged, single-named people live in the east, and double-named people live in the west.When the officials of the Ministry of Rites distribute the policy questions, all the tributes will kneel down to accept them, and bow three times before each of them can try the countermeasures on the table. "

Hong Sheng, the official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of guiding, explained in detail what he had taught before, and then let the guards let him go.

Sheng Yuan is Huiyuan and single-named, so he immediately stepped to the left, and under the nod of the leading officials, he led a group of fellow exams into the Anhe Gate with his head held high and his chest held high.

Although she was wearing an academy gown, she had a pretty face, and there was no sense of indistinguishable sex at all.

But it happened to be her, the female hero, who stood among all the gentlemen, but made the surrounding gentlemen pale in comparison.

A girl who looks so majestic that people want to praise her!

This attitude!This gesture!This momentum!
The surrounding officials and guards all looked sideways and sighed.

Sheng Yuan didn't know that she secretly rehearsed her posture for more than a month and won the applause of others; at this moment, she led the team towards the palace without squinting.

Well, the little girl is actually a little nervous and excited!

Until she and her fellow examiners under the auspices of the ceremonial officer completed five prostrations and three kowtows to Emperor Jing He, and accidentally looked into Emperor Jing He's eyes when she raised her head.

Seeing the smile in the emperor's cousin's eyes, Sheng Yuan's mood instantly stabilized.

Looking at the courtiers standing on both sides, Sheng Yuan's mood did not fluctuate anymore.

seen!seen!I've seen them all!

Together with Brother Yu and Brother Sheng, she had friendly discussions with the descendants of many ministers.

Let's not talk about the process, just say the effect is very good.

It is said that their names are missing in the censor's impeachment memorial.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan felt even more reasonable.

Although she said that she does not intend to repay her kindness, these ministers are not good at repaying their kindness!
They don't need to take care of them too much, as long as the other party doesn't get in the way.

Sheng Yuan's side thought very beautifully, and Emperor Jing He looked at the girl who looked like a leader in his hands, and couldn't help whispering to the courtiers in a funny way: "Look! Who stands out? The girl is better than Lin Ye! "

All the courtiers smiled respectfully and echoed, but their hearts were full of curses: Why don't you take the exam, give you a pen, and appoint her directly, okay? !
Of course, Emperor Jinghe didn't go too far. After laughing, he ordered the etiquette department to issue policy questions, and he left the front hall with all the civil and military officials.

……

This time, the policy questions still follow the style of the imperial examination, closely related to current affairs, and the test is how to be friendly with neighbors and make the alliance shine.

Sheng Yuan's eyes flickered as she looked at the exam questions. If she didn't know about the twists and turns between the Three Kingdoms, she might really believe in the questions!

The palace examination policy question is not just a question, there are also a large passage written or dictated by Jing Hedi under the question.

The words and sentences in his articles are all sincere, and the sentences are moving.Readers are all touched: the author of the article loves peace and looks forward to friendship, which can be learned from sincerity!
Two images of King and Emperor instantly appeared in his mind, and Sheng Yuan felt his eyelids trembling.

It seems that she wants to elaborate on the opinion that satisfies the emperor's cousin through words full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Of course, this is not a problem for her.

With a draft in mind, Sheng Yuan hurriedly wrote his thoughts on the draft. The process was very fast. What really needed time was the revision later.

At that time, not only must the content of the article be supplemented and improved, but also the literary talent should be allowed to flourish among the articles. This is the most test of knowledge and ability.

Although the palace examination is only for one day, considering the candidates' answering conditions, the palace examination is given candles, but only one candle is given, and the interest of candles is no longer flexible.

It is said that most of the palace examiners hand in papers until they run out of candles, but it is obvious that Sheng Yuan, whose inspiration can collapse, does not seem to need this candle.

Before the application time, Sheng Yuan had already started the exam papers and was ready to transcribe the answers.

The specification of the palace examination paper is a bit special, simply put, it is a folded playbook style.

The size of the test paper is the same as that of half-leaf paper.

The complete note paper has twelve lines, and each line can write 24 characters; so the half-leaf note paper is exactly half, six lines, of course, the number of words that can be written in each line remains the same.

The upper and lower covers of the examination paper are made of cardboard the size of two and a half sheets of paper, and six complete sheets of paper are folded inside the cover for writing articles for candidates.

On the answer sheet in Sheng Yuan's hand, there was only one word "Ying" on the far right of the cover, and four big characters "Hall Examination Juren" were written in the middle.

And Shengyuan needs to write down the word "Chen" in the lower two numbers on the position next to the word "人" under "Hall Examination Juren".

Then, under the word "Chen", write her own name in a larger font.

This is the cover of the answer sheet.

As for the cover at the bottom, she doesn't need to write, because there are three large vermilion characters "Printing Official" printed on it in the middle.

Under the three large characters of "Yin Juan Guan", with these three characters as the boundary, two lines of characters with a slightly smaller font size were written, which were in the format of "official position of the Ministry of Rites + officials (slightly smaller font size) + names of people".

Look carefully, it is somewhat similar to the format of the cover.

Sheng Yuan filled out the cover, opened it, and began to fill in her personal information on the first page of official paper.

Similarly, at the position of the third word in the first line on the right side of this page of paper, the word "should" must be clearly written.

Note: Dan Chi (chi, second tone): red platform.
