Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 116 Hu Weiyong, are you serious about this test question?

Chapter 116 Hu Weiyong, are you serious about this question?

For the officials of the Ministry of Yingying and Rites, they really were not worried about anything strange happening to Hu Weiyong.

After all, Enke’s examiner this time was Hu Weiyong, not them.

In other words, let alone the questions that Hu Weiyong asked himself, there are problems with the questions that they asked, and Hu Weiyong is ultimately responsible.

Who made him the examiner?

Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette have long been unconcerned about Hu Weiyong's strange problems.

It doesn't matter whether the candidates scold them or not when the time comes. As long as Your Majesty doesn't blame them, then there's no need to care.

But something is wrong with the situation now.

It seems that Mr. Hu is no longer satisfied with asking weird questions.

How do you think this question is not serious?

This won't work.

You know, the questions of each scientific examination will be recorded in the history books.

After all, those who write history are all scholars, how could they let such a thing go?

When some weird questions are asked, future generations will just criticize the examiner for being cunning and making things difficult for others.

But if such unseemly questions were openly asked, wouldn't they, the examiners, be infamy for eternity?

This is not possible.

A young official from the Ministry of Etiquette, with the most impatient temper, spoke directly.

"Hu Xiang, is there something wrong with this question?"

He was not a newcomer to the officialdom, and he did not directly say that Hu Weiyong's question was inappropriate.

But Hu Weiyong also raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party slightly unhappy.

"What? Do you think my question is inappropriate?"

"Then tell me, what's wrong with my question?"

Hu Weiyong is quite rude.

But he really had reason to be angry.

Damn it, this time I came up with serious questions about the meaning of the classics.

If you think there is a problem, then the problem must be yourselves!

No, a middle-aged official saw the trick and suddenly smiled and said:

"Hu Xiang, don't argue with this young man."

"I'm afraid he has already forgotten everything written in the Four Books and Five Classics just a few days after joining the Yamen as an official."

"A good question on classics and meanings, but somewhat original and interesting, turned out to be inappropriate in his mouth."

This is just adding insult to injury.

The young officials beside him turned pale.

He wasn't stupid either. He thought for a moment along with what the other party said, then lowered his head and looked at the question carefully...

His vision suddenly went dark!

Damn, that’s sloppy!

When he thought that he might have to bear the title of "uneducated and unskilled" from today on, he felt bad.

But who can blame it?

Is it possible that when Hu Weiyong asks a question, he has to explain the idea of ​​the question to him in person?

Where did he get that qualification?

Immediately, the officials finished their work and witnessed another internal fun. They said goodbye and left with smiles.

And with the examination questions determined, the start date of the college examination is getting closer and closer.

As the day for the college exams approaches, all the candidates are gearing up, with both anticipation and apprehension in their minds.

After all, the previous two levels were not easy for them at all.

In fact, many of them came here by chance.

Yes, it's really just luck. In the first round of the county examination, many people honestly answered “I don’t know”.

Then he wrote in a down-to-earth manner, "Knowing is knowing and not knowing is not knowing. This is knowing."

Finally, in order not to leave the paper empty, I wrote a policy essay around this sentence.

Unexpectedly, in the end, those students who worked hard did not pass, but they who were honest and honest did.

And the second time, some of these honest people got lucky.

They didn't think about the word "two" at all. In fact, there was only one solution to the problem.

They were just a blind cat who met a dead mouse. They gritted their teeth and chose the one that they could barely write and started writing.

Unexpectedly, this happened.

But just because they had tried their luck twice in a row, they did not dare to continue.

Damn it, there is no such thing as luck.

Therefore, on the day of the academy examination, the gates of all the major tribute courtyards were packed with people.

Unexpectedly, this time there was no high-pitched talk in the past, but instead there were small integrated circles, communicating constantly.

"Brother Chen, what books are you reading recently?"

"What other kind of books can there be? Miscellaneous books. If I don't read a few miscellaneous books, I won't dare to come to this examination room. My dear brother, how about you?"

"Hey, like Brother Chen, I'm also busy reading miscellaneous books. If I really put in a lot of effort, if I stumble on this, wouldn't I be blind in vain?"

"Yes, who knows what kind of questions that adult will come up with this time. I hope it won't be too difficult!"

"Oh... don't think about it. It's difficult for everyone. Now we can only pray that the question this time happens to be in the book we have read."

"..."

The candidates were much more prepared this time than before.

At least, after those two times, everyone understands that it is useless to just read the Four Books and Five Classics, or to swallow them whole.

Hu Weiyong, the "adult" whom they dared not mention by name, obviously did not take the rule that the boy test only tests basic knowledge into consideration.

Many students' mentors explicitly told them that the test questions in the previous two levels were not considered ordinary when it came to the general examination.

But you can't say yet. After all, Hu Weiyong is the examiner. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang does not win his official title, he will have the final say for this imperial examination.

Therefore, they can only prepare themselves hard.

Mr. Hu, do you like to test numerical questions? Weird symbols?

Okay, then let’s review them all without talking about them, and also prepare the articles in advance, okay?

Moreover, many students with better conditions are frantically flipping through various miscellaneous notes and books.

They didn't believe it. After making such sufficient preparations, facing Hu Weiyong and Mr. Hu's examination questions, they could still do nothing as before.

They actually didn't expect to win the question. They just had one idea: no matter how tricky the questions Hu Weiyong asked this time, they would at least have some ideas.

It’s not like before, when you open the test paper and it seems like there’s nothing you can do about it.

While everyone was still discussing, the gate of Gongyuan opened, and a candidate was ready to enter.

Xie Jin and Fang Xiaoru also entered the examination room separately.

After going through the body search, name verification and other procedures, the candidate came to his room in a dignified manner.

This exam is the last step related to a scholar's reputation, and everyone still attaches great importance to it.

Therefore, all the candidates sitting in the room were waiting with bated breath.

Not long after, with the sound of a bang, the examiner finally handed out the test paper.

What's interesting is that after the test papers were handed out, one of the candidates turned to the last question in a tacit understanding...

Then, everyone vomited blood.

Damn, what kind of bad exam question is this?
