After being exiled, the lucky cub who was dropped from the bag came back

Chapter 224

Here we have to talk about the examination method of the township examination.

There are three exams in total, and each exam is on the ninth, [-]th, and [-]th day of the lunar new year. Each time, you have to enter the venue one day in advance, roll the roll and hand out the test papers, and hand in the papers the next day, so it takes about nine days.

After returning to the inn, a group of people gathered in the room.

Lingbao asked urgently: "Big brother, tell me about the fraud case in the imperial examination. Are there many people who cheated?"

She didn't understand it, and the biggest thing she could think of was cheating.

Cheng Yun shook his head: "Not only."

The imperial examination fraud case happened 18 years ago. The chief examiner at that time cheated for personal gain and sold the exam questions privately. As you can imagine, there is no wall that does not leak in the world?After being discovered, the first emperor was furious, arrested him and imprisoned him, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

"Then what?" Lingbao asked with round eyes, "Is he really cheating for personal gain?"

Cheng Yun nodded.

This investigation is incredible.

Because not only the examiners practiced favoritism and cheated for personal gain, but even the examinees were not innocent. There were many cases of bribery, gun substitutes (requiring someone to write for them), cutting papers (replacing examination papers), and impersonating their names.

There are also students who use teeny-headed lowercase to copy articles in advance on their IQs as thin as gold leaf, and hide them under pen tubes or insoles; or use juice as ink to copy pre-written articles on their underwear, and then quietly Copy it on the exam paper.

At that time, the first emperor was furious, and it can be said that "when the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses".

All the officials involved will be beheaded, and all the grades of the current scholars will be invalidated. Those who have been found to have bribed the examiners and cheated will be directly disqualified from the imperial examination and will never be allowed to re-enter the official career.

Since then, the first emperor has issued a series of strict examination regulations.

"Do you know how strict it is?" Cheng Yun asked.

Maybe because he thought Lingbao's round eyes were so cute, he couldn't help pinching her face.

Lingbao has long been used to it, so his expression didn't change a bit, he was only curious about the rules: "What is the point?"

Cheng Yun said: "There are even regulations on the style of the test basket."

Regardless of the bamboo and willow, it should be in accordance with the southern style, with exquisite eyes and the same low profile.

If you don't follow the regulations, you won't even be able to enter the Gongyuan, and you will be dealt with as cheating.

Also, the inkstone should not be too thick, the barrel of the pen should be hollowed out, the length of the charcoal should not exceed two inches, and even the food you eat must be cut open to ensure that there are no hidden small notes or the like.

It wasn't until the registration of the current emperor that it slowly changed, but not much, after all, it was the rules set by the former emperor.

The children were dumbfounded when they heard it, they didn't expect it to be so strict.

Cheng Yi sighed, "No wonder Dad used to be an official from Enyin."

He wouldn't be willing to suffer such a crime if he wanted it!

"It's really hard for Dad." Cheng Yi said, "When we go back, I will cook a delicious meal for Dad to reward him!"

Ling Bao nodded again and again, and said distressedly: "Daddy has worked hard."

"Every scholar who takes the provincial examination is the same."

Lingbao said: "That's hard work, everyone has worked hard."

Xie Wuyang nodded: "Lingbao is right."

But if nothing else happens, he doesn't need to take this path, as his father's title can be hereditary for five generations.

After all, he is already in a high position, so he can no longer compete with the poor students for the limited places.

"Mr. Gao is one of the victims of the imperial examination fraud case." Cheng Yun said suddenly.

Ling Bao was stunned: "Which Mr. Gao?"

Cheng Yun tapped the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "Which Mr. Gao is there, of course it is your master."

The crowd didn't even know it, and exclaimed in unison: "What?!"

Cheng Yun nodded in confirmation.

Speaking of which, Gao Xianqing was also unlucky.

He didn't buy exam questions, and he didn't cheat. He was implicated abruptly.

He did well in the exam that time. Cheng Bo'an had seen his exam papers. According to his uncle's estimate, if he could go through normally, he would at least be of Jinshi background in the palace exam, but the specific ranking depends on the emperor's will.

Gao Xianqing was still young at the time and couldn't bear the blow. He had been decadent for several years, and then he regained his strength, but the influence of the imperial examination fraud case was too great. Killing can't be let go, and the scholars who took part in the imperial examination but survived basically couldn't get a good ranking.

Cheng Yun wasn't too clear about what happened next, recalling the scene when he met Gao Xianqing for the first time, he guessed that while studying knowledge, he was looking for a way to get ahead.

But now it seems that I only concentrate on studying knowledge, and I must have given up.

Lingbao let out an "Ah" in twists and turns, flattened his mouth, and said distressedly: "Master Gao is so miserable."

Xie Wuyang nodded: "It's a completely innocent disaster."

Cheng Jin: "The fire at the city gate will bring disaster to the fish in the pond."

Cheng Yi: "If it were me, I would die of anger."

Cheng Yun said seriously: "I'm telling you this to tell you that no matter what you do, you must be down-to-earth, and don't think about taking shortcuts, so as not to get caught up in the fire."

Especially with their wealth background, the whole family will be implicated if they are not careful.

"We know!"

Let's talk about Cheng Zhongqian.

During the examination period, scholars sit, sleep, eat and write in the dormitory. The outer wall of each dormitory is eight feet high, the door is three feet wide, and six feet high. There are nearly a hundred rooms long and fifty or sixty short. The rooms are all arranged in a row facing south, like a long alley, four feet wide, and at most two people side by side. The order of the houses is numbered according to "Thousand Characters".

Cheng Zhongqian was lucky and was assigned to the middle of the alley.

He breathed a sigh of relief silently, it was great that he was not assigned to the end of the alley.

Cheng Zhongqian glanced at the end of the alley cryptically and sympathetically. The faces of the scholars assigned to the last room were as black as charcoal, because there was a toilet next to the end of the alley, and the stench was so close that their noses were stinky. Calm down and think about the topic?

There is a "Mingyuan Building" in the Gongyuan, which can be said to rise from the ground, condescending, and can have a panoramic view of the inside and outside of the Gongyuan.

Now there are quite a few people standing upstairs, looking at this side, so all the scholars did not say a word, and entered the dormitory honestly, it is almost audible.

There are two layers of brick joints on the wall one or two feet above the ground, and wooden boards can be inserted into the joints.

Don't underestimate these two boards, they are tables and chairs during the day and beds at night.

Cheng Zhongqian is tall and has long legs, he can't stand up, he can't lie down straight, he can only curl up on the wooden plank in a cowardly and aggrieved manner, it is really uncomfortable anywhere, and the surrounding is so quiet that he can't even turn over frequently. I dare not, I can only say silently in my heart:
"Heaven will send a great mission to human beings. They must first suffer from their hearts and minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Therefore, the heart and patience have benefited what they can't do."

This is part of the test!
