"The hour of Mao has arrived, and the door is put as usual-"

Accompanied by a long shout, the Chengtian Gate, embedded with copper nails, slowly opened. Then, a team of guards wearing bright light armor emerged from it, holding long halberds, tall and strong, about six feet (one foot and thirty centimeters), with majestic weapons and extraordinary momentum.

Seeing this, everyone avoided it, thus forming a corridor. Several eunuchs came out in brocade robes and said with a smile: "Sir, please hurry up, don't delay it."

Zhang Yin came from Jinshan Island and saw such a majestic palace for the first time. It was the first time he saw such a scene. He couldn't help but feel shocked and bowed his head and dared not say much.

Nearly two hundred people, led by eunuchs, crossed the city gate and came to the tribute courtyard of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites' Tribute Academy was built on a large scale for the imperial examination. It once accommodated nearly a thousand people to take the exam at one time, and there were rows of single-family rooms, which was shocking.

As early as a month ago, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to repair it, remove the weeds, wash it, and look brand new.

Today, it only accommodates 200 people, only one-fifth of them. Although it is much spacious, it is so concentrated in order to better manage it, which is no different from previous years.

Since this is the third imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, the experience has been enriched, and hundreds of officials have run for it, and the number of candidates is not as good as management.

For example, the Yuan army was patrolling and custodial, with about 200 people; fifty people were specially prepared for food, and servants were responsible for cleaning the toilet...

There are about a hundred other examiners, including the organizer who is responsible for numbering the candidates' personal information; there are the Feng Mi official who is responsible for sealing the examination papers and copying the examination papers; there are the counter-reading officials who are responsible for checking and copying the examination papers.

There are first-time examination examination examiners who are responsible for checking whether there are "miscellaneous offenders" in the test paper; there are first-time examination examiners who are responsible for evaluating the text of the test paper; there are first-time examination examiners who are initially evaluated on the test paper; there are also detailed identification officers who decide the candidates, and there are police officers who are responsible for checking cheating and reading officers who are given the title of the roll title, etc.

Most of them were examiners who were appointed by the emperor on a temporary basis, and all of them were the emperor's confidants, ensuring the relative fairness of the exam.

"Zhang Yin, is Zhang Yin coming?" At this time, a minor official took the roster and began to read aloud. Every time he read, he arranged a small room with a expressionless face.

"It's me!" After he finished reading the second time, Zhang Yin quickly responded, and then a soldier led him to sit down, while the others came in sequence in the team.

Since entering Chengtianmen, I have to check my clothes, identity, food, and even my hair and body. I have to check my clothes. It is really a lot of hardships and is quite infuriating.

It was not that no one was angrily rebuked, but the minor official didn't care. Instead, he sneered: "Although the son can be an official, how can he be more noble than the Jinshi? If you want to become a Jinshi, how can you not survive hardships? There is no such good thing in the world."

Then, when he saw the juren's expression inexplicable expression, the minor official's eyes were fierce, and he said again: "This is just the first level. The Jinshi exam requires three or five days to take the exam. He is in the number room and cannot move. He eats, drinks, defecation and urination are all inside. If there are wind and rain these days, it will be even more torture. Every time he takes the exam, someone will always be thin and loses his body."

"Answering questions and writing papers is just the easiest step, so please do it yourself!"

All the students were startled and looked bitter, but the temptation of being a Jinshi was too great to block everything.

Zhang Yin was taken to the digit room by soldiers. Seeing the internal environment, he was shocked.

The narrow room is a space of only a bed size, one person tall, the brick stone bed is two feet high, and there is a small table on it, and the four treasures of the study are ready.

At the corner of the stone bed, there is a toilet, a window in the corner of the wall, and candles, bowls, chopsticks and other things are placed.

However, the stone bed is a kang, and at the fire outlet outside the room, soldiers are occasionally filled with firewood to ensure that the envoys are not frozen.

After he sat down and cleaned up, half an hour had passed.

At this moment, three groups of people passed by, and there were more officials than candidates, which were extremely strict.

"The first show, the scriptures, two hours-"

At this time, a certain examiner was holding a drum and drum, beating from time to time, shouting in a loud voice. It was obvious that all the candidates were already sitting down and preparing to start the exam.

Zhang Yin shook, was startled by the sound, and then he recovered and opened the printed book.

The first sutra was actually a fill-in-the-blank question. Basically, the questions were given in Confucian classics such as the Analects of Confucius and Mencius. It tested the basic skills of scholars, with about fifty questions.

The second game is also a strategy theory and the most important game in the Jinshi class, so it was placed on the afternoon of the first day, until noon of the next day, and the time was abundant.

What is examined is the overall current political view of the students, or talk about it on paper. Although it is a general discussion, it is also extremely important, and one can see a person's political sensitivity.

The third session was the afternoon of the next day, and the Ming law, the Tang Dynasty's memorial laws and other silhouettes were tested, and the knowledge of the law was examined. After all, an official had to know the law. How could an official who did not understand the law be considered an official?

The fourth game is a clear calculation. On the morning of the third day, as the name suggests, it is a calculation problem. If you don’t know how much the people will not know how much they are under the rule, you will be a nonsense official.

The fifth scene is the proposition of poems and essays, which mainly examine the talent of the students and is regarded as the reserved essence of the Jinshi class.

After all, if you don’t write poetry, can you be considered a Jinshi?

The Jinshi exam is no longer a real Jinshi exam, but a combination of Mingjing, Mingfa, and Mingju, which is more difficult and has the highest comprehensive level.

Moreover, this year, we adopted a percentage system, which is a clear calculation, and a clear method, which is very easy to judge. However, the policy theory and poetry are more troublesome, but it still reduces the difficulty of the examiner, which is a significant improvement!

Zhang Yin answered roughly, and was already dizzy and his head was swollen. It was too exhausting and it was unsustainable.

After three days, he felt that there was no chance, and nothing else was enough, but Mingsuan and Mingfa were written in a mess.

"Ask the pheasant rabbits, how many have you calculated?"

After leaving the tribute court, several pale-faced men asked each other.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yin's mind moved, and this was the question that stumped him.

"This is a famous chapter in "Sunzi Jing Jing", but the number of chickens and rabbits is different, eighteen chickens and fourteen rabbits!"

A certain candidate said proudly: "You will know with a little calculation!"

"What kind of punishment should be imposed on embezzlement of 100 truce?"

"How should we discrete the crime of rape?"

"Puchi--" Zhang Yin felt that he was about to vomit blood. It was incredible that someone could know such a tricky question.

He stopped listening and hurried away and came back to pass the exam in two years.
Chapter completed!
