After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed

Chapter 3 Women Disguised as Men to Take the Imperial Examinations ([-])

Candidates were afraid that they would miss the exam because they were late, so they rushed to the Gongyuan early.

But the Tribute Court will not open until the exams, so there are many people gathered in front of the Tribute Court at this time, and the Tribute Court is surrounded by water.

With Jiang Zhao's height, even if he stood on tiptoe, he couldn't see what Dean Gong was like.

Among the candidates, someone obviously knew Jiang Zhao and Si Mubai. When they saw them coming, they walked up to say hello.

"Brother Mu Bai is here."

"Brother Jiang Zhao is also here."

These are talented people who have known each other through the provincial examination together. If you have taken the examination together, you can also be regarded as classmates.

Jiang Zhao is only 16 years old this year. Among this group of candidates who have studied hard for more than ten years, he is very young, so everyone calls him a good brother.

Jiang Zhao and Si Mubai also greeted each other.

After saying hello, the acquaintances gathered together to chat, and the chat was naturally about the topic of the test.

"The monsters on the frontier have just been pacified, and the questions in this township examination are likely to be monsters or the frontier." One of them said the question he was betting on.

But soon someone retorted: "My teacher gave me a bet, saying that the questions in this test are likely to be related to the prince."

The vassal kings of the Tianyu Dynasty were flooded, as can be seen from the actions of King Narui. It is indeed very likely that the subject of this test will be the vassal kings.

"Brother Mu Bai, I don't know what title you bet on?" one person asked.

Si Mubai replied: "My bet is the same as Brother Peng's."

The brother Peng he was talking about was the scholar who had been betting on the frontier and demons just now.

Everyone talked about their bets, and only Jiang Zhao hadn't made a bet. They all looked at her and said.

"Brother Jiang Zhao, you were Jie Yuan in the last township examination. I wonder what questions you bet on?"

Jiang Zhao told everyone about the topic of persuading students that he had said to Simubai in the morning. Their reactions were the same as Simubai's first reaction, and they did not think that the topic of this meeting would be persuading students.

But Jiang Zhao then said another bet of his own.

"There is one more thing. My brother Yu thinks that the subject of this test is very likely to be the aristocratic family."

If it is said that the vassal kings of the Tianyu Dynasty are flooded, then the aristocratic families are as numerous as a cow's hair.

This time, Jiang Zhao's betting topic aroused everyone's interest, and everyone's topic shifted from the border to the aristocratic family.

About two quarters of an hour later, the gate of the Gongyuan slowly opened.

As soon as the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, the crowd began to get excited.

"The gate of the Gongyuan has finally opened!"

"I'm about to start my test. For some reason, I suddenly feel a little nervous."

"It's human nature to be nervous. After studying hard for ten years, I'm taking a blog today!"

"Yeah, I don't know if we can win the Huiyuan, if not, what will happen in the future?"

"No matter what happens in the future, I should give it a go today, so that I can live up to the time I have been waiting for for more than ten years!"

……

While everyone was discussing, a few police officers walked out of the tribute courtyard, with sharp eyes, standing on both sides holding waist knives, and one of them was standing beside him holding a stick of incense.

Inside the gate of the Gongyuan, three old men with white hair stood in the center of the courtyard, watching the commotion outside the gate.

"I heard that there are a few more talents this year than in previous years."

"Jiang Wenyu from Taifu Jiang's family, Du Yuebin from Prime Minister Du's family, Zhao Ruida from Guozijian Jijiu Zhao's family, and even Zhen Guogong Jing's family has produced a talented person this year."

"Oh! The Jing family also produced a scholar this year? It's really strange."

"That's right, that Jing Huarong didn't like martial arts since he was a child, he only liked reading, and he was also a talented person all the way to Juren."

"The Duke of the Town must not confess him."

……

The other two old men who said the last sentence couldn't help laughing.

This Duke of Zhen is from the same line as Jinghuai who traveled here and there with the founding emperor Li Hao and made great achievements.

But this Jing family doesn't know why, after Jinghuai, the whole family is full of military generals, and no one is expected to study.

But military generals are popular in troubled times, and literati are naturally popular in prosperous times.

Therefore, Jing Xiang, the current Lord of the Town, is looking forward to a talented person from his family to enter the court to stabilize the status of the Jing family every day.

After talking about it for so many years, Jing Huarong finally came out, and Lord Zhen Guo must not confess him.

Whether it is inside or outside the door, everyone is discussing separately.

The time for a stick of incense came soon, and the stick of incense held by the catcher soon burned to the root.

A high-pitched voice followed a burst of bells.

"It's time to come, and all the candidates enter—!"

As the high-pitched voice sounded, all the candidates automatically arranged three lines and entered in an orderly manner.

Wei Xiang handed over the small package that she packed up to Jiang Zhao, and told her to take the exam well and not to be nervous, he would wait outside for her to come out.

Jiang Zhao took the small bundle in his hand, nodded and went in.

The policemen outside checked their guides and entrance certificates for the exam. In addition, they also checked the bags they carried to prevent anyone from carrying cheating things.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly and fast manner, and soon it was Jiang Zhao's turn.

She handed the road guide and entrance examination certificate in her hand, and the small bag Wei Xiang prepared for her, to the policeman who checked at the door.

The policeman confirmed that the road guide and the entrance examination certificate were correct, and let him go without any other things in the small package except some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Jiang Zhao took the number plate issued to her by the police and found her room.

This room is also extremely simple, the entire number room will not exceed five square meters, and there are only two wooden boards and a bucket inside.

That bucket is used to honor candidates.

Candidates are not allowed to leave the room or contact anyone during the exam, otherwise it is cheating.

Jiang Zhao approached the room. Fortunately, she was not tall, otherwise she would have to bend down to get in.

This reminded Jiang Zhao of Si Mubai. Although Si Mubai was only a scholar, he was eight feet tall. He would have to bend over and bow his head when he entered the numbered room.

The two wooden boards are placed one above the other to form a table and chairs. The top and bottom are hollowed out, and there is nothing to cover them. People often come to patrol, so there is really no chance of cheating.

Jiang Zhao took out all the things in the small bag, and arranged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone one by one.

It's not yet the hour, and the test questions have not been announced yet, so she started grinding.

The imperial examinations are generally written articles, and you must know that writing articles is the most wasteful ink.

While she was studying ink, the invigilator was already dangling in front of her constantly.

All the candidates were sitting in the numbered room, looking at the invigilator anxiously, hoping that they would announce the exam questions sooner.

If they win the bet, after the test, they will have another wave of bragging capital when they go out.

Just when everyone was nervous, another bell rang, and all the candidates hurriedly sat up.

The examiner's resounding voice sounded.

"The test will begin!"

"The test question for this meeting is..."

"Encouraging Learning--!"
