Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 17 The Imperial College Entrance Examination
Fang Yiai's rather ambiguous tone brought the shocking Princess Gao Yang back to her senses. Seeing that Fang Yiai intended to take advantage of her, Gao Yang was ashamed and annoyed, "My lady? Okay, smelly Fangjun, how dare you take advantage of me!"

Fang Yiai enjoyed the bickering with Gao Yang very much, made an innocent expression, and said, "It's clear that you jumped onto my bed yourself!"

"Go down, go to sleep on the desk!" Saying that, Princess Gao Yang used her hands and feet to drive Fang Yiai off the embroidery bed.

Getting down from the bed, Fang Yiai gave a hutch. The previous use of the Nine Yang Golden Needle had exhausted the true energy in his body. At this moment, she just felt drowsy and had no intention of joking with Princess Gaoyang at all.

Lying down on the desk again, Fang Yiai closed his eyes to rest his mind, and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Fang Yiai and Princess Gao Yang had breakfast under the "surveillance" of the female officer, and then Fang Yiai plunged into the study to practice according to the formulas in the Hunyuan Heart Sutra.

For two days in a row, Fang Yiai hid in the study to practice kung fu and take care of the Lingzhu grass during the day, and "cooperated" with Princess Gaoyang to deceive the female officials in the palace at night. In a blink of an eye, the date agreed with Qin Qiong to go to the Imperial College came.

Early this morning, Fang Yiai changed into a blue cloth and quietly slipped out of the princess mansion through the back door.

When Fang Yiai saw the Qin Mansion, Qin Qiong was already waiting outside the door. Seeing Fang Yiai coming, Qin Qiong smiled loudly, "Brother He, you came early enough."

Seeing Qin Qiong waiting outside the door early in the morning, Fang Yiai couldn't help being moved, "I kept the Duke waiting for a long time."

"Brother He, if you say this, you will be offended, let's go?"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two walked side by side towards the direction of the Imperial College.

When I came to the Imperial College, the gate was already full of students who had come to take the entrance exam.

Because today is the day of the Imperial College's "Yin Sheng" exam, most of the students waiting outside the door are well-dressed, so that people can tell that their family background is unusual.

"Brother He, how will we meet with the examiner later? We need to match up with uncle and nephew. Be careful not to miss any tricks."

"Okay, the Duke is about the same age as my father, so he can be called Uncle He."

While the two were talking, the vermilion lacquer gate of the Imperial College slowly opened, and then a group of soldiers walked out of it slowly.

"Today, on the opening day of the "Yin Sheng Enke" of the Imperial College, everyone should not make noise, and line up to enter one by one!"

With the sound of a gong, after listening to the soldiers announcing the entry instructions, everyone lined up and walked into the Imperial College one by one.

Walking into the gate of the Imperial College, everyone began to register their names and identities, and the identity registered by Fang Yiai was exactly what had been discussed with Qin Qiong before——Hu Guogong, Qin Qiong's wife, what is the point.

After accompanying Fang Yiai to register her identity, Qin Qiong clasped her fists and saluted, and said, "Brother He, Your Majesty is coming to court today, and I still have some business to perform, so I left first."

With that said, Qin Qiong took out a piece of letterhead from her bosom and handed it to Fang Yiai, "This is a letter I wrote to the chief examiner. Brother He will give the letter to him later, and the admission will be done naturally."

After receiving the letter from Qin Qiong, Fang Yiai smiled slightly, "Thank you so much Duke."

After sending Qin Qiong away, Fang Yiai gave a wry smile and put the letter into her arms.

The reincarnated Fang Yiai does not intend to use "cheating" to enter the Imperial Academy, he is confident that he can rely on his own strength to be admitted to the Imperial Academy, the highest-level institution in ancient Chinese history!

After everyone registered, they received the serial numbers of the seats where the exam will be held in turn. The serial number Fang Yiai received was——58
Entering the main hall of the Imperial College, one hundred desks were placed one by one. After finding seat 58, Fang Yiai took the seat and waited for the start of the entrance examination.

After everyone was seated, the soldiers immediately closed the main hall door. Judging from their posture, even a fly would not be able to fly in.

Before the exam started, the students waited and watched their future classmates, but when everyone saw Fang Yiai in civilian clothes, they all showed contemptuous expressions on their faces.

"Is he really an official? Why is he wearing a commoner clothes to take the exam?"

"Could it be the servant of the Imperial College who swept the floor?"

"Silence! There is still a stick of incense to start the exam. Everyone, get your pen and ink ready. No whispering after the exam begins!"

Hearing the assistant examiner's reminder, Fang Yi's heart trembled. This modern person who has been studying for more than ten years in the previous life, even forgot to bring the pen and ink necessary for the exam!

Thinking that this opportunity was not easy to come by, and even related to his future life direction, Fang Yi stood up in a hurry, cupped his hands and said to the crowd: "Well... I came out in a hurry without a pen and ink, I don't know which brother would agree Lend me a brush?"

Although everyone had a spare pen and ink, looking at Fang Yiai in a blue cloth, these sons of officials all made a deaf look, and some even appeared to mock:

"Pfft, he didn't bring pen and ink for the exam?!"

"Where did you forget to bring pens and inks, you obviously have no money to buy them?"

"How could Yinsheng Enke have civilians participating? Could it be that he came here to hit his luck?"

Seeing that his request for help was met with ridicule and ridicule, Fang Yi felt a little displeased in his heart. Just as he was devastated by the lack of pen and ink, a young student in a white robe walked up to him slowly.

The student has a delicate face, and the way he speaks gives people a refined and fresh air, "Brother, don't worry, just lend me my spare pen and ink."

Seeing that someone solved her urgent need, Fang Yiai thanked her repeatedly, and then stretched out her hands to pick up the pen and ink, "Thank you, brother."

When handing over pen and ink, Fang Yiai accidentally touched the student's palm. After feeling the touch from the fingertips, the student blushed and slowly returned to his seat.

Seeing the student returning to his seat with a blushing face, Fang Yiai felt a little puzzled, "Why is this brother blushing for no reason?"

"Silence, Master Lin, the chief examiner, is here!"

With the sound of a gong, an old man with a slightly plump face in court clothes walked slowly into the main hall.

Walking to the high platform, Chief Examiner Lin cleared his throat, sat on the desk and looked down at all the students, "Today is the day of Yinsheng Enke's examination, everyone must do it with all their heart, so as not to disappoint the majesty." painstakingly."

After Chief Lin finished speaking a set of official Chinese, he said to the messengers on both sides: "Distribute rice paper."

With an order, the two teams of messengers holding wooden trays began to distribute rice paper to Fang Yiai and others. Taking advantage of this gap, the chief examiner Lin on the high platform had already walked among the crowd.

Seeing the stern expression on the chief examiner Lin's face, Fang Yiai couldn't help but secretly began to look at it. In his previous life, most of the examiners he met were professors in suits and leather shoes. This was the first time he had seen examiners in official uniforms and gauze hats.

Chief Lin stood in front of the desk and talked softly with the student in front of him. Then the student took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chief Lin calmly.

And this scene happened to be witnessed by Fang Yiai.

After seeing the chief examiner asking for bribes from the students, Fang Yiai snorted coldly, and couldn't help feeling a bit of contempt in her heart, "The majestic Enke, the chief examiner actually asked the students for bribes? It seems that no matter in that dynasty, there would be pedantic things happen!"

Just when the police were about to finish distributing the rice paper, Chief Lin happened to walk up to Fang Yiai.

Looking condescendingly at Fang Yiai, Chief Lin couldn't help showing a look of disappointment after seeing the blue cloth on Fang Yiai's body, "Are you sure about enrolling in the Imperial College?"

Fang Yiai couldn't help feeling a bit of contempt for this dignified examiner after breaking the examiner Lin's request for bribes, "The student is not talented, and I would like to try my best."

"It's a good thing to have ambition, but you haven't had much experience in the world and your literary talents may not be ready. Why don't you give me a few pointers?" As he spoke, Chief Lin made a gesture of counting money to Fang Yi'ai in a very cryptic manner.

Seeing that the chief examiner Lin actually asked for bribes on his own head, Fang Yi felt very unhappy in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "The student thinks that his literary talent is not bad, so he dare not bother the adults!"

"Humph!"

Lin Zhukao, who has gained a lot along the way, obviously did not expect that Fang Yiai would reject him without thinking, so furious, Lin Zhukao let out a cold snort and walked away.

Back on the high platform, Master Lin cleared his throat and said, "Silence, Yinsheng Enke has officially started!"

After the announcement of the start of Enke, the police locked all the doors of the main hall, and two teams of police officers walked slowly among the students, obviously to prevent anyone from whispering and copying the answers.

Sitting in front of the desk, Master Lin silently wrote down the serial numbers of the students who had bribed him before, and Fang Yiai, the only one who refused to bribe him, was remembered by Master Lin.

Looking at the four large characters printed with red lacquer on the top of the rice paper, Fang Yiai muttered in a low voice, "The way to be an official? Is this the topic of this exam?"

After smoothing out his thoughts, Fang Yiai picked up the borrowed brush, combined with the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics he had read in college, and began to write on rice paper.

In the imperial examination system in ancient China, there was a "juanjuan" system.

The test paper system requires that no ink that has nothing to do with the answer is allowed on the test paper. If the test paper is stained by irrelevant ink, no matter how good the student's essay is, he will not be admitted to the official position. This system can not help but require students to His excellent calligraphy skills further demonstrated the solemn attitude of the royal family to seek talents.

Because he was not sure whether there was a "examination system" during the Zhenguan period, Fang Yiai, who had offended the chief examiner, was afraid that the chief examiner Lin would seek revenge, so he deliberately chose the thin gold style that he was best at in his previous life to write the answers, and tried his best to ensure that he will be admitted this time There is nothing wrong with being able to hit the ground running.

Examiner Lin, who was on a high platform, looked down at the crowd and saw that Fang Yiai was burying her head in writing. The corner of the examiner's mouth, who had failed to solicit bribes, couldn't help but raise his lips slightly. I want to see how talented you are, you brat with a yellow mouth!"
