Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

No matter how rough and simple they were when checking the test boxes of the other students.

Facing the test box of this young master at this time, none of them dared to touch it.

This undoubtedly made all the students in front of them angry.

In the end, it was Qi Heng who took the initiative to open the test box.

"Don't bother with him."

"It's business, so you can search as you want."

The soldiers still hesitated.

But the officials who followed Qi Heng didn't care about it, he leaned over and said with a smile: "My lord, why don't you follow the officials to take a bath here first?"

Qi Heng nodded.

I really sigh in my heart.

——He made it through the back door, as if enjoying special treatment.

Go to the bathroom.

This temporarily designed bathhouse is also quite interesting.

A thick bamboo tube runs from east to west, and there is a row of fine holes on the bamboo tube, through which hot water flows continuously, which is really similar to the showers of later generations.

"Young master."

"The weather is getting a little cold."

"If not, just wipe your face casually."

"' 〃If the wind and cold affect your performance in the examination room, the lower officials really dare not shoulder this responsibility."

The invigilator seemed to see that Qi Heng was in a bit of trouble, so he sent a thoughtful reminder.

This made Qi Heng turn his head back.

The conditions were too simple, and he was really not used to stripping naked to do some kind of cleansing ceremony.

"Will this implicate adults?"

"Dare to ask the adult's name?"

The invigilator quickly cupped his hands.

He is upright.

"It's written by the lower official Lu Gong."

"Young master, please don't get involved in anything."

"With the reputation of my young master's knowledge, who would suspect that you need to cheat and bring a cheat sheet?"

"Let's say it's a lower official, even if Ouyang Gong is here, it must be the same."

Written by Lu Gong.

Only then did Qi Heng take a serious look at the young invigilator.

Speaking of which, both the Lu family and the Cai family were rare famous families in the Song dynasty.

In this Lu family, after Lu Yijian, first Lu Gong wrote, then Lu Jia asked, and this year Lu Huiqing also participated in the scientific examination.

They are all prime ministers.

As for the Cai family, it was even worse.

At that time, Cai Xiang and Cai Que, as well as Cai Bian and Cai Jing, Cai Xiang's cousins, were all famous in history.

It's just that Cai Bian and Cai Jing are still young now, and it will take another ten or eight years before they officially enter the court.

Until the destruction of the Song Dynasty.

"In that case, I would like to thank Master Lu."

"I really don't want to shower and change."

Qi Heng simply followed the good advice and stopped doing anything.

"Young master, you are polite."

"Please follow me to your examination room."

Following Lu Gong's writing, through the inner gate, there are rooms that have been temporarily separated.

The test house is not big.

A single wooden bed and a small table are the environment that Qi Heng will be alone in for the next three days and four nights.

to be frank.

I'm really not used to it.

Especially after Liu Jinglun put down the test box, he also had to leave the venue. The sudden silence really made Qi Heng feel bored.

This can be seen.

In this era, those who can pass the Jinshi exam are so mentally strong.

Such a closed and narrow environment——

At least it proves that as long as you are a Jinshi, you don't have claustrophobia!

As for Ouyang Xiu.

It is even more impossible for him to come and talk to Qi Heng at this time.

One is avoidance.

Furthermore, a big man like him doesn't need to sit in the examination room and act as an invigilator at all.

He only needs to come up with questions, wait for the candidates to finish the exam, and he will organize the marking, and the final score is enough.

one way or another.

On the first night of Jiayou's two-year scientific examination, Qi Heng fell asleep in this inexplicably quiet and inexplicably tense atmosphere.

Until Maoshi.

The sky was just getting brighter, and with the sound of crisp copper bells, the big exam officially started.

Chapter 163 The origin of cheating

Under the unified coordination of the invigilators in each examination room, thousands of soldiers from the Dianqian Division quickly distributed the rolled-up examination questions to each examination room.

Qi Heng unfolded the test paper.

The top sheet is filled with densely written words, which are the exam questions for this year.

There are also nine blank sheets of paper below, which are used for making drafts and transcribing the final answers.

In the Song Dynasty's Jinshi department, there were four main examination contents.

First, try the meaning of the scriptures, that is, the meaning of Mo Yi and the scriptures.

Second, try poetry and fu, that is, propositional composition, a poem and a fu.

The third is to test strategies, asking some questions about the current situation, and testing the students' knowledge and ability to apply what they have learned.

Fourth, trial discussion, which is also a propositional composition, but an argumentative essay is required.

speak up.

These examination questions were repeatedly reformed in the Song Dynasty.

Take the test poems as an example——

During the Qingli period, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others believed that poems and songs were all trivial, nothing more than word games, and there was no need to pay attention to them, let alone test them.

Therefore, the Qingli New Deal also temporarily canceled this test question.

It's just that with the failure of the New Deal, it was put back on the examination paper.

But it's interesting.

A few years later, with a reform initiated by Wang Anshi, this test question was canceled again.

It was replaced by the criminal law of the Song Dynasty, that is, the law department.

Generally speaking, the famous ministers of Song Dynasty are very capable of tossing around, and they are indeed trying their best to cure the world.

But without exception, all failed.

……

In the examination room, apart from coughing from time to time, there were all kinds of papers rattling everywhere.

The atmosphere is solemn and serious.

Qi Heng quickly began to answer the questions.

The first thing he chose to conquer was the meaning of the test scriptures.

This test question is about basic skills and the ability to memorize by rote. For him, it is undoubtedly the easiest test question.

There are three main topics this year.

"Ten Posts on Analects of Confucius."

"The Spring and Autumn Annals and the Book of Rites have ten Mo Yis each."

A total of thirty small questions.

The amount of questions is not surprising.

The so-called paste is to silently write the classic passages in the Analects according to the topic.

Mo Yi answered the scriptures according to the original text given by the examiner.

The classics and meanings here mainly refer to the "Thirteen Classics Commentary", which is the essentials of classics annotated by Confucian sages in the past dynasties starting from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Although in today's literary world, people like Zhou Dunyi, Shi Jie, Ouyang Xiu, and Fu Bi have questioned many contents of the Thirteen Classics.

They think that the explanations of the sages are wrong or incomplete.

In short, there has been controversy.
