Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 330 The Big Exam Begins, Kong Ming Appears
Because the current Taixue examination is not like the later imperial examinations, it has a complete screening process.

Therefore, before the Taixue exam, candidates must go through some preliminary screening.

First of all, candidates must have a clean net worth, a clear place of origin, and must not be a criminal;

Then, there will be an initial test for the corresponding subject. If you can't even pass the initial test, you don't need to take the subsequent test.

After these two rounds, a large group of people who were lucky and pretentious were eliminated, and the pressure on candidates and examiners during the formal examination was greatly reduced.

After passing these pre-screenings, the remaining students can finally take the formal Taixue entrance examination.

On the day of the exam, the identities of the examiners were finally revealed.

The Confucian classics are supervised by the former Taiwei Yang Biao, the current Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu, and the current Yushi Zhongcheng Cheng Yu.

Yang Biao is a great Confucian, with high morals and high prestige, basically the kind used to suppress places.

He only needs to sit in the examination room, and most of the candidates will be obedient and submit obediently, oh no, it is to answer the question.

Xun Yu represents an aristocratic family, while Cheng Yu represents a poor family,

As for the civilians who are qualified to be listed in the examination room with them, it seems that there is only one Lu Yan at present.

But Lu Yan still had to invigilate the engineering exam, he just came to show his face at the beginning, and then the representative of the Emperor's Party, General Dong Cheng, came to invigilate the exam on Lu Yan's behalf.

It is impossible for such a grand event to completely ignore the Son of Heaven.

Otherwise, people all over the world will criticize Cao Cao, and even poke Cao Cao's back, scolding him for hiding evil intentions, not being a minister, not being a son of man.

Lu Yan has always called Cao Cao Duke Cao, and he has never concealed his idea that he is helping the people of the Han Dynasty rather than Cao Cao alone.And Lu Yan has never participated in the struggle of the court, so he is also regarded by the emperor as the most worthy neutral party.

Overtly and secretly, the emperor's wooing of Lu Yan never stopped, but Lu Yan's response was not positive.

Lu Yan, Yang Biao and others supervised the examination of Confucian classics, which was proposed by the emperor, but Lu Yan declined because he cared more about engineering and mathematics.

But the emperor's party can't have no one to invigilate the exam.

After Yang Biao was gone, they no longer had any great Confucianists to show for them, so they could only pull out the taller ones from among the dwarfs, and brought out the general Dong Cheng who was riding a car.

Confucianism and Confucianism took the exam the most, with more than 300 people; the number of people who took the exam for Mathematics was the least, only about [-] people.

As for engineering, because the people under Cao Cao knew that Lu Yan valued craftsmen, nearly a hundred people came to take the exam.

These candidates have gone through several rounds of screening.

Regardless of the fact that less than 100 people took the exam for engineering, it was not because craftsmen or their descendants were unwilling to take the exam, but because most of them were illiterate and unable to take the exam.

When the next generation has passed the teaching of the academy, engineering will definitely be a very popular subject in the future, and in the end, Lu Yan and Mao Jie will be invigilated together.

It's just that mathematics is a subject. There are very few people who like to study arithmetic. This time there are only about [-] people taking the exam. It may take a while for everyone to realize the importance of mathematics.So in the end, only one ordinary official came to invigilate the first mathematics subject.

Nowadays, people in the world pay the most attention to the classics of Confucianism. Lu Yan has a long way to go in reforming the discipline.

In the second year of Jian'an, at the beginning of April.

When the spring plowing started in full swing, in the first exam room built in the Imperial College south of Chenliu City, the intense and exciting exams also began.

Lu Yan stood inside the gate of the Taiyuan Academy, looking at the crowd of examinees who were orderly but couldn't help but murmured to himself: "It feels like the time of the college entrance examination!"

But the current scale is not a bit worse than the college entrance examinations of later generations, but the solemn and tense atmosphere at the scene is no less than that of later generations' exams.

In the examination room, in addition to the invigilator, there are also three steps for one post and five steps for one sentry.

"Anyone who cheats, once discovered, the results of each stage and subject reported by him will be invalid, and he will never be hired.

A cheater who helps others."

In the examination room, the chief examiner, Yang Biao, began to recall the rules of the examination room.

It was the first time that the test invigilators were strict and the penalties for cheating were severe. Therefore, although all the candidates present were nervous, they felt a little more at ease.

Everyone is taking the test based on their own real talents, who is afraid of who?
Confucian classics examination, first there are essays and then theory, and finally there are scriptures and policy theory.As for poems and songs, at least now no one regards them as formal examination content.

Mathematics is about arithmetic problems, while engineering is more about practical skills and solutions to problems.

Confucianism exams take three full days, while mathematics and engineering only need two days to complete.

On the last day, when the policy theory exam started, Lu Yan also came to the exam room to invigilate the exam.

In the huge examination room, there were more than 300 candidates sitting.

Accompanied by Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, Lu Yan stood in the front corner of the examination room.

At this moment, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were pointing out to Lu Yan some of the talents they had seen before in extremely low voices.

Pointing to Yang Xiu who was sitting on the right side of the center of the examination room, Xun Yu said softly, "Yang Xiu is talented, so there is no need to say more."

Yang Xiu felt something in his heart, and looked up in the direction of Lu Yan and the others.

Seeing Lu Yan, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu looking at him, Yang Xiu quickly put down the pen in his hand, straightened his kneeling body, and saluted far away.

Lu Yan pressed his hand to signal him to keep a low profile, so Yang Xiu picked up the pen again and began to write with his head down.

Cheng Yu also said softly: "There is also the young man in front of Yang Xiu's left, his talent is also excellent!"

Lu Yan saw that it was Fazheng, so he nodded and said, "I met him by chance before, and his talent is not in Confucianism, but in strategy!"

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked at each other, and could clearly see the surprise in each other's eyes, "In this way, we can focus on training!"

In troubled times, the importance of counselors is self-evident.But Lu Yan shook his head and said, "You don't need special care. Young people always have to experience some setbacks to grow."

"That's right, Changsheng, you are thoughtful."

Lu Yan's eyes were still cruising around among the candidates. Looking at him, he seemed to be still looking for better talents.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu said softly: "Changsheng, we also found a talent who surpassed Yang Xiu and Fazheng. No, it should be said to be a genius!"

Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and a strange premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and he asked, "Where is he?"

"Ninth from the left, third from last." Xun Yu said softly.

Looking around, Lu Yan saw that the man was not very old, with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade; his gestures seemed to follow some kind of self-discipline, appearing extremely strict, but he looked quite pleasing to the eye.

"Zhuge Liang!!!" This was the name that popped into Lu Yan's mind when he saw him.

Cheng Yu then told his name and origin, "His surname is Zhuge, and his name is a bright character. He comes from the Zhuge family in Langya County, Xuzhou."

Sure enough, it was him, Zhuge Liang!
After the introduction, Cheng Yu couldn't help but sighed softly, and said, "It's difficult for a poor family to have a genius like Zhuge Liang in a hundred years!"
