As time approaches, Youzhou Chief Historian, who is in charge of this exam, appears on the platform with a red face and explains the examination rules in detail.

Because it is a local trial, the management is not strict, and it only emphasizes some rules and regulations and precautions. After the speech, it is just auspicious time to enter the venue.

Pei Min sorted out his own pen, ink, water and tableware and food boxes. Seeing that the cut was complete, he followed Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian with the crowd. After a detailed search, he entered the tribute court specially built for the examination. He handed over the official documents and other items to the officials for confirmation and received the examination grade.

The grades are randomly placed so that people who are familiar with each other will gather together and cheat each other.

Pei Min's brand is in the third row and fifth row of No. 5 between No. 1. Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian are all in different test rooms, showing their eyes and encouraging each other.

Pei Min found his seat, and there were strangers around him. Some of them had good luck and met an acquaintance. They only dared to communicate with each other and did not dare to say hello to each other. When they entered the examination room, whether the exam was put or not, it was the beginning of the exam, which made the examiner unhappy. They invited him out directly and had to come back next year.

Pei Min placed his pen and ink, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it leisurely: This test will take three tests, and it will take one day. During the exam, the tribute school provides food, but does not prepare tableware. The officials will not serve you tea and water anytime, anywhere, and the water to quench your thirst is prepared by yourself.

Pei Min had the habit of drinking tea in later generations. No matter whether he was thirsty or not, he would keep tea. When he came to this world, there was no need to drink tea at present, so he changed to drinking water. He would drink a few sips if he had something to do. In this exam, he didn't bring much other things, but he brought a lot of drinking water, which was enough for the portion of this exam.

Not long after, the invigilator in charge of their examination room walked into the room with the test questions. Before the test questions were released, there was a special official responsible for checking the test cards and the identity official documents and letters, and confirming that the test questions were correct, and then preparing to put them on.

Seeing that the process was orderly, Pei Min secretly admired that the imperial examination has been established for more than a hundred years. However, not only did the system be perfect, but there was no obvious loophole to find.

Before the exam questions were released, the examiner coughed and said, "Today's exam time is 1 day, and it will stop before sunset. If the time is insufficient, many candles will be used to stop. I hope you can work harder to serve the country." After expressing this old-fashioned feeling, the examiner asked someone to hang up the exam questions.

Pei Min looked at the test questions and was indeed writing the classics and history, and his heart was as clear as a mirror: the explanation of the test is the first test, the discussion of the strategy, the poetry and other things are completely different: the test is the basic skills, the knowledge of rote memorization.

The test method is indeed rigid, but it makes sense.

According to Pei Min's personal understanding, this rigid examination method can examine the talent and nature of Yi.

Although it is a rote memorization, if you are not good at using your brain and have insufficient IQ, even if you are working hard, it is impossible to remember the terrifying and huge Confucian classics such as the Five Classics, Three Classics, Two Classics, Study Classics, Three Rites, and Three Paths in your mind. Then even if you are born with a genius, if you don’t work hard, you will not be able to memorize the Ming Classics thoroughly.

If you want to pass the assessment, you must not be smart and patient.

The first step of the imperial examination should be to test these two abilities. As for neat writing and beautiful calligraphy, both are secondary bonus points.

The exam questions given by the examiner were actually written in the Shangshu, the rituals of the public and the officials’ rituals and the funerals of the scholars.

Pei Min did not rush to write, but sorted out the materials on the test questions in his mind. Shangshu is Xian, which mainly records words. From Yao and Shun to Xia, Shang and Zhou, it spans more than two thousand years. Shangshu recorded historical biography of naturally the Shang Dynasty. From the destruction of Xia, Jie of Shang to the destruction of Shang Dynasty, King Wu was appointed as the cousin of King Zhou, Weizi, and the brother of King Zhou, who was completed in Song Dynasty. There were not many words, but the content was extremely profound. It was not easy to write the whole article down. However, it was not a forced requirement that the words were not bad, as long as they were generally correct, fluent and neat, the words were answered.

Pei Min memorized it silently based on the memory in his mind. In some places where he could not remember, he connected the context and understood the ancient meaning, and supplemented it with his own understanding. More words are more and less words are not harmful. The key meaning must be correct and read smoothly.

It took more than half an hour, but Pei Min had not taken the pen and studied the ink, and he was silently pondering it in his mind.

The examiner in charge of the C exam was He Xuzhi, a native of Yongxing, Yuezhou. He started taking the imperial examination with his cousin in his early years, but he was transferred to Youzhou by Princess Taiping and became a sesame official in Youzhou. He spent the rest of his life with his life. From the moment he entered the examination room, He Xuzhi's eyes were always far away from Pei Min, and he cared very much about him.

From the earliest killing of the Xi prince to the force of capturing the Xi traitor Li Wuyi, Pei Min is not very famous in Jicheng. In particular, Xue Na personally recommended him to participate in this trial, which caused a considerable sensation in Youzhou.

Xue Na is square and does not rub sand in his eyes. It is well known that the evil officials came to the court and were in power, but Xue Na did not show any affection. Now he will make an exception for a younger generation. It is really curious: Who is this younger generation?

After careful understanding, it was a child of the Pei family of Hedong clan, but because of his filial piety, he gave up the opportunity to go to Jishan School and left the Pei family, thus participating in this scientific examination.

He values ​​filial piety, courage and strategy, and such a brilliant young man has to pay attention to it.

After half an hour of all the exams, Pei Min didn't move a word, which really made people feel anxious about him.

He Xuzhi remembered that when he took the scientific exam, he wrote a lot like a god. Even if the question was difficult this time, he would not be able to write a word, right?

"Is the rumors wrong? Pei Min is just a little brute force and doesn't know anything about literature?" He Xuzhi said silently in his heart, with a strange face.

Just as he was thinking about it, Pei Min moved.

He took out the ink balls, grind them with water, and then blended them well. After taking out the brush, he put his long sleeves in his arms and lowered his head to write. The time was extremely fast.

He Xuzhi was full of curiosity and pretended to be casually walking on Pei Min's table. After looking at it, he couldn't help but say "Beautiful!"

In an instant, he understood Pei Min's intention. The biggest taboo in writing is intermittent, the above text does not follow the following text, and the brushwork is not coherent enough.

Pei Min first studied what he wanted to write thoroughly, and then wrote from beginning to end: this way of writing can maximize the viewing of the whole article.

Looking closely at the small characters, He Xuzhi's expression was even more serious. He said that he did not study calligraphy deeply, but he had a cousin He Zhizhang, who was also the top scholar in the imperial examination in the first year of the 19th century. After seeing his words for a lot, he also knew the quality of the words.
