Rise From the Humble

There are three examinations, each lasting three days and nights. Since there are two scene changes in the middle, it actually lasts nine days and seven nights. During these nine days and seven nights, the candidates have to stay in the Gongyuan. The Gongyuan will not be opened until the last exam is over, allowing the candidates to appear.

Zhu Pingan finished the seven eight-part essays in the first session quickly on the morning of the third day and copied them neatly on the answer sheet. Because the second session would not start until the fourth day, after the exam in the morning, Zhu Ping'an put all the test paper, paper, etc. in the test paper bag and hung it on the wall. He cleaned up the dormitory, laid out the kang, and lay down on the kang. Fell asleep.

At noon on this day, the examiner Xu Jie led several invigilators to inspect the examination room again. When they passed by the row where Zhu Pingan was sitting, they wrinkled up from the odor wafting around before they even reached the row where Zhu Pingan was. frowned.

However, in order to fulfill his duty as the examiner, Xu Jie still stretched out his sleeves to cover his breath and forced himself to move forward. The classmates who were following Xu Jie also held their noses and followed him a few steps forward.

A gust of north wind blew in, blowing back the smell of excrement that had accumulated in the toilet for three days. It was so sour and refreshing.

vomit

One of the classmates finally couldn't hold it back and made a sound of vomiting and vomited.

However, no one laughed at him, because when this north wind came over, everyone almost couldn't help but vomit. Now that he has vomited, everyone is relieved a lot. If you can't help but vomit by then, you won't be alone.

"Wang Tongkao, why don't you go back to Mingjing Building first." An examiner advised.

Wang Tongkao, who was about to vomit bile, squatted on the ground and vomited, but still stretched out his hand, shook it firmly, and insisted on continuing the inspection.

After Wang Tong finished vomiting, Xu Jie led everyone to continue moving forward.

Near the end, I heard a burst of rhythmic snoring coming from the stink horn in front.

After walking two steps forward, I saw a young man sleeping soundly in the stinking horn, covered with a thick rabbit fur blanket, snoring very rhythmically.

You can still sleep so soundly by leaning against the toilet! We were so far away just now and couldn't bear it. Wang Tongkao had vomited just now. This guy was right next to the toilet, on the front line of the toilet smell impact, but he could sleep so soundly!

Everyone couldn't help but feel surprised. After another look, uh, the name of this dormitory seemed a bit familiar. Oh, wasn't this the toilet man who cooked a pot of noodles as soon as he entered and squealed while eating? !

It turns out that this kid can not only eat, but also sleep!

However, this kid can eat and sleep, and he seems to be unable to solve problems. The first time I saw him, he ate noodles, but this time I saw him, he was sleeping. Looking at his dormitory again, the test paper bags hanging on the wall are very neat, as if they have never been written, as if they were put in the test paper bags when the papers were just issued.

Alas, what a pity.

It would be great if the exec who vomited and fainted yesterday could have the ability to endure like him! The examiners couldn't help sighing when they thought of another candidate who fainted from vomiting.

One can endure it, but cannot solve the problem.

One can do the questions, but can't stand it.

What a pity and hateful thing.

Of course, it was a pity that the candidate who vomited and fainted, and the hateful one was naturally Zhu Pingan who snored very rhythmically.

Zhu Pingan slept until the afternoon when the invigilator came to collect the first test paper. After being woken up by the invigilator, Zhu Pingan got up and handed the test paper to the examiner who looked contemptuous. The examiner also followed. A member of Xu Jie's inspection tour in the afternoon saw Zhu Ping'an sleeping at noon, but he didn't expect that when the papers were collected in the evening, the boy was still sleeping, so he must have not answered the questions.

Despise it!

After being sealed by the examiner, he gave Zhu Pingan a contemptuous look, and then walked away holding his nose.

At this time, the rain outside was still pattering down. After Zhu Ping'an handed over, he put on thick rabbit fur clothes, took out some preserved fruits and dried meat from the bag, grilled them in a charcoal brazier, had dinner, and then went to sleep again.

At around five o'clock the next morning, Zhu Pingan got up again. After washing up, he grilled some dried meat in a charcoal brazier to fill his stomach. He drank some hot water and began to wait for the second test paper to be distributed.

According to the usual practice, the second exam is the same as the provincial exam. It tests on official documents, which are divided into two types: official documents for communication and judicial judgments based on provided cases. Specifically, it means one essay, five judgments, edicts, and imperial edicts. , one table each.

Around seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the test papers were handed out.

After the test papers were handed out, Zhu Pingan looked at the test questions, was startled for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

Of course, while Zhu Ping'an was laughing out loud, many candidates in the examination room were silently cursing their mothers while looking at the test paper.

For nothing else, just for the questions in this second test paper. This test is different from the previous examinations. The overall number of questions in this test paper has not changed. What has changed is the type of questions. This test has one essay and four judgments. , one for edict, one for imperial edict, and one for table, but there is another green word question at the back.

In other words, compared with the usual exams, this exam has one sentence less, but one more green word.

In this way, this second exam has Jiajing characteristics, Qingci, which is the most representative symbol of Emperor Jiajing, who also has the reputation of Emperor Qingci.

I believe that the changes in the proficiency test will not be made by Xu Jie and others. Even if they were given ten courages, they would not dare. Although Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with refining elixirs and cultivating immortals, he had an almost genius-like understanding and understanding of political intrigues. However, he had a firm control over his courtiers. Any courtier, even Quan Ruyansong, as long as Emperor Jiajing is willing, can do anything with just one sentence. Then you can grind it into powder.

Emperor Jiajing was the absolute boss of the Ming Empire.

In addition, Emperor Jiajing himself was a man of immortality and alchemy, and because of his high IQ, he appeared to be inscrutable. The courtiers were trembling with fear when facing Jiajing. Who dared to exert their subjective initiative in such an examination that was related to the country's future plans? It’s not that you’ve grown several heads, it doesn’t matter if one of them falls off!

Xu Jie, according to the historical development of this association, he should have just been tricked by Yan Song and was being ignored by Emperor Jiajing during this period. Naturally, he would not make such controversial changes in the general examination.

Then, of course, the only one who could make the change was Emperor Jiajing. Also, this favor was originally a gift from Emperor Jiajing, so it was normal for him to make a change in this exam.

Emperor Jiajing was indeed Emperor Jiajing.

Under Jiajing's rule, Yan Song, the prime minister of Qingci, came out. Haha, now there is also a Qingci exam.

But thank you very much, because I knew the information about Emperor Jiajing from reading history books, so I got the "Zhaijiao Qingci Jing" given by the old Taoist who was suspected of being Lan Daoxing. I have also done a lot of research on Qingci, not to mention Dacheng. It’s done. I’m proud enough to be proud of myself in this examination room. I was originally thinking about how to use it.

So, thank you very much.

The confidence in this meeting has increased to 99%. I focused on the first session of the examination, and my answers in the first session were very informative. Now there are Qingci questions added by Emperor Jiajing in the second session. Naturally, this Qingci question will also be the focus of the examination. Qingci, compared to other candidates , and I am good at it. Therefore, this conference is already stable.

Zhu Pingan looked at the test paper and raised the corners of his lips.
