Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2315 There is hatred in the eyes, two strategies in the examination room

It was pitch black outside the window, and it was the darkest, darkest and coldest moment before dawn. When Wei Yan led his people across the Daba Mountain, a group of people in Guanzhong would also walk on their battlefield.

After several years of large-scale examinations, the examination mode under Fei Qian's rule has gradually matured, and there are somewhat rudiments of the imperial examinations of later generations.

For today's exam, the gates of the city and the mausoleum were deliberately opened in advance, torches were set up on the streets and stone bridges, and patrol inspections were added. At the same time, many soldiers stood on the watchtower, looking around Watching and inspecting, there is a tendency of later generations to make way for these reference personnel.

This is Fei Qian's special arrangement, and it is also to show the glory of these people, and of course it is also a spur.

In any age, knowledge is precious.

In the Han Dynasty, perhaps knowledge was the words on the books, but in the later generations, the manifestation of knowledge is not only books, such as various information, even the big data in the network...

Whoever has enough knowledge has the ability to change some things, just like the candidates for these references, whether they are overwhelmed by moths jumping into the flames, or the phoenix nirvana is reborn, all in such a day.

This is the day to decide your own destiny.

Those in the inn or in the courtyard, regardless of their background or family circumstances, on such a day, they should obediently get up early, tidy themselves up, and take good things to go out for the exam.

Of course, those who are related and powerful will have more decisions and choices than ordinary people, and they will definitely be a little more relaxed, but at least for now, the examination system established by Fei Qian can make more ordinary people , Generally, poor families have the opportunity to run on the same line as the children of the gentry.

In the streets, the students and scholars walking slowly are either anxious or full of ambition, of course, there are also those who are expressionless and calm, or those who greet each other and hand over each other, just like participating in an outing. same.

Tian Yu also went out at this moment, bringing a small bamboo basket, in which besides some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, there were two steamed buns and a small bamboo tube of water.

Because General Hussars posted a notice that today is the whole day of the exam, and the test takers get up early, so they may not have time to eat breakfast, but they are allowed to bring some food and drink...

Not far in front of Tian Yu, some gentry children in their teens gathered together, laughing and joking, and they even looked at each other's food, and even divided it up at the back. It's like an autumn outing.Tian Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing.

Perhaps in the minds of these gentry children who have no worries about food and drink, the exam this time is just like playing. It’s not that these gentry children can be sure to be among the best, but that these people don’t take the exam seriously at all, and they are still used to it. I think that taking the exam is just one more channel, if it doesn’t work, there are daddy, and family, come to the exam today, that’s just one word, "play"...

Tian Yu, who was walking slowly and looking at the faces of all living beings, suddenly heard someone shouting from the side, "Hey, isn't this Tian Xiandi... Why, looking at Tian Xiandi's appearance, I feel a little nervous?"There is no need to be like this, General Hussars has a grace test every year, if he fails this time, he will take the test again next year...』

Tian Yu heard the reputation and looked at it, and all he said was that the one who Tian Yu failed in the exam was Liu Ping, whom he had just met a few days ago.The Liu family is the surname of Hedong County. Jia Qu's elder sister married the Liu family. When Jia Qu was poor, he also got some care from the Liu family. So now the Liu family can be regarded as a big family in the local area. Because of Jia Qu's relationship, The Liu family has also gradually become stronger at the moment.

It's just that when the forest grows, all birds will show their heads, so it's the same for people. After the family grows, everyone will have it. Some people think that if they have resources, they need to seize the opportunity and work harder. Some people think that the key to life is to have food, drink and women to play with.

This Liu Shizi is obviously the latter type of person. Even if he is going to take the exam now, he still smells of alcohol and makeup with his neck crooked, obviously he didn't have a good rest last night.

After Tian Yu met Liu Shizi once, he didn't get close to these people again, but the problem is that Liu Shizi thinks Tian Yu is useful, at least that skill of throwing pots, if he can use it for his own use, he will show it off like this when he goes out to eat and drink , that player who plays pitching can't be convinced?

Therefore, Tian Yu couldn't avoid it, but Liu Shizi was thinking about it, so the previous scene happened.To be honest, Liu Shizi really hoped that Tian Yu would not pass the exam...

Tian Yu's expression was indifferent, and it was not because of Liu's words that there were any fluctuations, so he cupped his hands and said: "Seeing that it's getting late, why hasn't Brother Liu left yet?" 』

Hearing Tian Yu's doubts, Hedong Liu's son seemed to have drunk three bowls of shochu in one breath, almost floating up, his face was also flushed with excitement, but he pretended to be nothing, showed his nostrils and said: "With the grace of General Hussars, I can postpone my entrance examination and take the examination in a single courtyard, which is different from yours. 』

Hedong Liu's son stroked his beard, his face was full of pride, and he was waiting to see Tian Yu's envy and hatred.

"Oh, that little brother is just one step away." 』Tian Yu didn't care about Liu Shizi's pride at all, he replied lightly, and followed the crowd with a small bamboo basket.

What?
Just "oh"?
He Dong Liu's son couldn't react for a while, and looked at Tian Yu walking away in a daze, and then felt a little uncomfortable, so he let out a bah, but at least he kept his airs and didn't curse, but his face was unhappy Woke up, thinking that if Tian Yu failed the exam this time, why should he find someone to clean up this kid...

There is no way, some people just think that he is stronger than others, and others will lick him in a low voice. The reason is nothing else, but that these people lick other people's backs like this in front of stronger people, so they also I consider this behavior to be normal.

Ignoring Liu's son Tian Yu, he followed the crowd out of the mausoleum, crossed the bridge, and arrived in the west of Chang'an City.

This was originally a market, but later Chang'an's commerce became bigger and bigger. The market in the city was almost every inch of land, not to mention the market outside the city. Later, in order to avoid some water and fire problems, Fei Qian went to He simply ordered a larger market to be rebuilt on the west side of Chang'an as a place for goods transfer and caravan trade.

The market here is gradually changed to a test center, and because the test is often held here, there are some shops of the Four Treasures of the Study, which are called "Collected Works", and the new one The logistics center is naturally called "Wushi"...

With a fixed test center, instead of being crowded in the front yard of the square in front of the Hussar General's Office as before, it can accommodate more candidates in a larger space on the one hand, and it is more formal and standardized on the other hand.

Tian Yu followed the crowd slowly forward, the shops on both sides of the street selling those pens, inks, papers and inkstones, books, calligraphy and paintings, early on tied the lanterns on the side of their own shop fronts, and illuminated them for the candidates taking the exam. Liang, while making a soft advertisement for himself, he also sent his own staff to wait at the door of the store, boiled hot soup and water, and drink as you go, there is also a long bench, you can sit and rest, no money, just a deposit Good fate.

The street has been cleaned long ago, and now walking on it, there is not a trace of sundries to be seen.The examination room is at the end of the street, and a huge examination shed has been built, facing south.In the south, there are east and west gates, surrounded by wooden fences, and there is a large courtyard. The north of the courtyard is the main gate, called Longmen, and behind the Longmen is a large courtyard for candidates to wait for their names.There are three halls in the north, with an aisle in the middle. The examiner sits in the west room and faces east to roll the roll.There are many simple and multi-row seats in Zaibei for candidates to write.

Before the fence of the examination shed, soldiers were directing the students to line up to check whether the students passed by themselves or not.Of course, at this stage, the examination room is not as strict as in the later generations. I just take a look at the items I carry, and let them pass if they are not books or words, so the speed of passing is not slow. After a while, Tian Yu is Walked into the examination room.

It's not that there are no cheaters at this point in time, but in addition to the compulsory policy topic that I knew before, there is another policy topic that will be sent by the Hussar guards in person until today. I don't know where to put my efforts, so it's better to polish the policy theory that was announced earlier, and then come here to do the second policy theory topic.

As for the so-called fill-in-the-blank questions in the imperial examinations of later generations, it is purely a test of memorization and memory, and even when the test gets more and more biased, there will be more and more entrainment and cheat sheets.

Policy theory, that is, argumentative essays, how to copy?
After entering the main entrance, a small official with a little literacy checked and checked Tian Yu's identity and resume. After checking, there was no problem, so someone led Tian Yu to an open space to wait.

There were already many examinees standing in the open space. Even if soldiers were not used to remind them to patrol, the crowd didn't have any intention of talking. After waiting for about half an hour, most of the examinees also entered the examination room, even the son of the Liu family After the last group entered the fence of the testing shed, the sky gradually brightened, and then Pang Tong arrived.

The waiting candidates were a little restless. They thought it would be someone from the general's mansion, or Sima Yi, or Wang Chang, or Xun You at most, but they didn't expect it to be this...

When Pang Tong stood up on the steps with a dark and fat face, and glanced left and right, the remaining restlessness among the candidates disappeared immediately.

It has to be said that Pang Tong has done some things in recent years, and he holds a lot of power in his hands. It is not like when he just entered Guanzhong, it seems that that person dared to laugh at Pang Tong's ugly appearance.At any time, appearance is a bonus item, not a basic score. As time goes by, the points for appearance will become less and less, and the basic ones are the important support for whether you can stand upright.

Pang Tong obviously couldn't get together with the bonus points for appearance, and it was even a deduction item for Pang Tong.

Standing on the steps, Pang Tong spoke an unavoidable cliché, which of course meant "before the ceremony", announcing the opening of the exam.

Then the uncle Pang Tong entered the main hall, and the subordinate civil servants began to roll the roll. Several loud officials kept repeating the precautions in the examination room, including prohibiting whispering, plagiarism and cheating, etc. Everyone entered the examination booth one by one and sat down.

Tian Yu followed the little official to his own examination case and sat down, looked up at the number plate hanging on the pillar, couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and then smiled.

Ding Chou fourteen.

Today happens to be the fourteenth, Ding Chou Day.

Not long after sitting down, the first strategy exam began.

Many examinees around Tian Yu, after the sound of the drum, began to sharpen the ink in a hurry, then took out the paper, and began to write quickly...

It's not that these humanistic thoughts are springing up like a spring, but the first policy theory is the topic publicly announced by Hussar General Fei Qian earlier, "On the Pastoral System".Most of these writers who are in a hurry to write strategies and theories have already written them a few days ago. Regardless of whether they are written by themselves or polished by others, they have memorized them by heart anyway. Write it down silently, otherwise you will forget it later, wouldn't you even have no place to cry?
Tian Yu was calm. He just put the handout paper aside and pressed it down with a paperweight before taking his own small bamboo basket. Then he took out the steamed buns from the basket and ate them with relish.

I got up so early in the morning, and I haven't had time to eat breakfast. This exam will take one day, so Tian Yu thinks it's not too late to write after breakfast.

The steamed buns are filled with pickles, so it's not very delicious, but it's not hard to swallow.

Tian Yu ate it calmly, but the examinees on the side didn't see it that way, especially those sitting around Tian Yu, who basically had no connections or influence. Ordinary students, of course, didn't eat early preserved food. While I was struggling to write down the written policy theory in my memory, I was listening to Tian Yu baji baji baji gurgling. If the eye dart could kill people, it would be rare to poke a dozen holes in Tian Yu's body.

However, some people think that Tian Yu gave up on himself. In the examination room, didn’t that person write down the policy theory several times and memorize it, and then quickly write it down silently while his memory is deep, like Tian Yu, come up first to have a full meal , how much can you remember?It's never too late to eat after writing.

So disgusted, disgusted, regretted, basically everyone shook their heads slightly at Tian Yu, and even gave Tian Yu a sympathetic look, thinking that this kid is an idiot, and the first thing he did when he entered the examination room was to eat...

Ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Tian Yu ate and drank enough, then wiped his hands, and started to prepare on his own.

After pondering for a while, Tian Yu abandoned the beginning of the policy theory he had written before, but re-thought another one on the spot...

"The origin of animal husbandry in Fuzhou is unknown.However, state animal husbandry is fruitful, and it will be harmful if it is covered.The ancient sage kings Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu all had no state pastors. Is there a reason for this?If there is no beginning, there will be no fruit. The state shepherd is not what the saints intended. 』

"All things in the heaven and earth are born and nourished. The grasses and trees grow hazelnuts, and the deer and hogs grow hazelnuts."However, people cannot fight with tigers and leopards, cannot eat with feathers, cannot run with dogs and horses, how can they stand in the world?It is also true that good and false are better than things.Therefore, there must be things in people, there are things that are born, there are disputes, there are disputes, there must be breaks, and there are breaks, there will be growth.Those who are wise and clear will be subdued by many people, and they will tell them directly without changing them. 』

"There are old people and students in the village, they should gather together as a group.Groups must have their own points, and strive for their own interests.Either peace, or war, peace will fight in the field, war will promote swordsmanship.There is also a big one, who gathers the leaders of the crowd, makes them obey orders, and secures them to belong to the people, so there is a legend of Yan and Huang, and the rule of King Zhou.Those with great virtue in the countryside were ruled by the village elders. After Lixu, there were county officials who ruled over them. After the county officials, there were counties, and counties had princes, and princes then had the son of heaven. If the top loses its degree, the bottom will be chaotic. 』

"During the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the government of the emperor was implemented in the counties and counties, but not in the country.They only control their guards, not their princes, so there is chaos...』

Because Tian Yu himself was also a person who experienced the turmoil himself, his writing was very smooth. Before he knew it, time passed quickly. By the time Tian Yu finished writing the last word, it was almost noon.The surrounding candidates also handed in their papers and left their seats one after another, and went to the courtyard to drink water, eat and rest, because there was another strategy in the afternoon.

"I said... that brother Tian Xian..." After Tian Yu also handed in the test paper and walked out of the examination room to take a breath, he met Liu Shizi in the corridor, "Why did you come out so late?Didn't memorize it? 』

Liu Shizi looked at Tian Yu with a half-smile, and felt that Tian Yu must have failed the exam.

This is Liu's mode of thinking that he takes for granted. In his opinion, everyone is the same as him. They memorize an article before going to the examination room to write it out silently. , and those who came out later are basically those who were unprepared, or whose memory was not good enough, and who struggled to write silently.

Liu Shizi felt that if Tian Yu was smarter, he should hurry up now, wagging his tail, licking himself, and then reluctantly accepting this kind of hospitality. After all, there are many dog ​​slaves, but they are a little special There are still not many talented servants.

But Liu Shi didn't expect Tian Yu to ignore him at all, just smiled and cupped his hands, apologized, and left...

This time, Liu Shizi was completely angered. In his heart, he pulled down his face and called Tian Yu twice, but Tian Yu didn't give him any face, so he completely toasted and refused to eat the fine wine!If it wasn't for being in the examination room, Liu would have exploded on the spot, just like those people in later generations who were furious after being indifferently looked at by the salesman, sales lady, and lady selling cars. Immediately his face darkened, and he secretly started to prepare to give Tian Yu a look.

But no matter what Liu Shizi planned, the second session in the afternoon started.

After everyone returned to their seats, they saw a few civil servants holding a wooden sign covered with a red cloth, standing in different places, and when the drums sounded together, they lifted the red cloth covering the title almost at the same time.

Tian Yu took a closer look, only to see four large characters written on the wooden sign——

"Meat Eaters Despicable"!
There was an uproar in the arena!
Almost everyone's eyes are focused on the aloof Pang Tong...

These four words, after Ni Heng arrived in Chang'an, for a period of time became the words used by the streets and alleys to ridicule and ridicule Pang Tong secretly, just like the secret code of the underground organization, as long as anyone who can say these four words, He just laughed knowingly and seemed to be a little closer, but it was diluted by the successive military intelligence from Longyou and Hanzhong.

Unexpectedly, in today's exam, Pang Tong would hang up these four words in a grand manner!

All of a sudden, a huge problem was placed in front of these reference students...
