I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 382 Candidates for Examiners

Song Mu's carriage went a little further, but it couldn't go any further. The streets going north and south were crowded with carriages everywhere, and the front of the Gongyuan couldn't be cleared for a while.

The scale of the test this time seems to be larger than in previous years, with thousands of horse-drawn carriages coming together, this battle is really scary.

Fortunately, it's Si time in the morning, and there is still a long time to wait for admission to the examination institute, so Song Mu and the others are not in a hurry, and even jumped out of the carriage to say hello to the students in the adjacent carriages.

And when those students knew that the person standing beside the carriage was the legendary Xie Yuan Songmu of Jiangnan West Road, they immediately came to hand in their hands, seeing that the team couldn't move at all, and someone even lifted a stove and heated a pot on the spot Tea was poured out to everyone.

"This year is indeed different from previous years. With this scale, there will be hundreds of tribute scholars this year, and one or two hundred Jinshi."

"Haha, we don't want to become a Jinshi after the palace examination. As long as you become a Gongshi, that is, you are born with a Jinshi, and you will have a bright future in the future."

Song Mu was sipping hot tea in his own teacup, and heard several people discussing beside him.

In the literati realm of the Wen Dynasty, after the Juren realm was the Jinshi realm.

It's just that there is also a Jinshi state among them, which is a little special, but it is actually another name for Gongshi in essence.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Wenli imperial examination in the Wen Dynasty, the tribute scholars after the examination were also called Jinshi, but some of the Jinshi could have a special ability.

Yan Sheng.

However, the Jinshi of Yansheng can only make breakthroughs in the future, otherwise, he will basically stop.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites re-divided this, first classifying Gongshi as Tongjinshi, and then conferring Jinshi's background after the palace examination attracts Wenxing Tongjinshi.

In this way, a Wenwen tourmaline can also be embedded on the Wenwei waist card, and then become a Wenwen home.

But no matter what, as long as he can pass the test, it is already an absolute recognition of a person, and he has reached an important node in the world's literati ladder, and he is looked up to by the world.

These people talked like this, and occasionally pulled Song Mu to say a few words, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

But at this time, the team continued to move forward, and everyone boarded the carriage and continued to move forward.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the situation ahead gradually became clear in front of him. The square in front of the north gate of the Nagong Courtyard was even more stunning.

I saw several rows of tall shelves on the large square at the moment, and the shelves were tightly sewn with straw curtains to block the cold wind blowing from all around.

And in this square, small tents have been set up one by one at this moment, and many people are walking among them.

If it weren't for the neat colors of the tents, and the well-dressed people with clean faces, others would think that these were refugees stationed here.

And Song Mu also learned about these people from here.

"There seem to be more people this year. If you look at the shops around, they are full of people."

"Haha, that's for sure, brother Zhu, don't you know who will take part in this test this year?"

"Xie Yuan Song Mu from Jiangnan West Road the year before last!"

"Song Mu? That Song Mu Song Jieyuan who wrote two top visions in the provincial examination?"

Others exclaimed one after another, and now the discussion became more heated.

"No, the vision triggered by Song Jieyuan is good for the National People's Congress, especially the wisdom vision, which is enough to make people crazy."

"No wonder I saw that there are many children here."

"Oh, if I knew this, I should have brought my wife and children to Chang'an."

These people chattered at one another, most of the discussions were about Song Mu's affairs at the moment, and more and more people gathered in the surrounding squares, even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, they could not dampen their enthusiasm at all.

Seeing this situation, Song Mu also smiled slightly, only thinking that these people have suffered a lot.

After all, they are not as good as the students in the Juzi realm. Even if they are frozen for nine days, they are still alive and well. It is indeed a bit of torture for ordinary people to survive in this weather for nine days.

But there are rewards only if you put in the effort. After all, the exam is different from other exams. Which one of the students in the exam room is not a leader in a province or province. Under this kind of exam, there must be someone who can stand out and arouse the vision.

You must know that the most widely praised vision of the imperial examination in the land of China, the story of the white hair turning into blue silk actually happened.

Song Mu's carriage was approaching the Gong Yuan little by little at this moment, and Liu Kaidong who was beside him was also a little dazed looking at the scene outside.

"Such a grand occasion, but we have to work harder to wait."

Song Mu and the others nodded one after another. At this moment, soldiers appeared in front of them, ordering many carriages to stop here, and the students got off and walked.

Song Mu and the others got out of the carriage one after another, found the people arranged by the Jiangnan Guild Hall to take the carriage away, and then each carried their things forward.

Each student was holding a huge burden and carrying a test basket, and the whole person looked extremely bloated. At this moment, they passed the soldiers and walked to the gate of the Gongyuan.

The field of vision in front of him finally got a little wider. Song Mu looked up to the left, and the wall of the examination hall was standing more than ten meters high. students are queuing up in front of the gate, waiting for the entrance to be opened.

Song Mu also followed and queued among them, but suddenly heard a voice.

"Brother Song."

Song Mu turned his head and saw that it was Tan Weiyi coming towards this side. The other party was also holding many things in his hands, but he walked forward happily.

"Brother Song, this time I will go to the test together."

The other party stood in the line, and Song Mu also introduced each other. Knowing that Tan Weiyi turned out to be the son of the current right prime minister, Liu Kaidong and others hurriedly saluted.

"Brother Song, what I just found out, do you know how many candidates will take part in the test this time?"

"A total of 400 people, which is already the most in history!"

"so many people!"

Several people heard it and exclaimed again and again. Although they already had a general understanding of the number of candidates this time, they were inevitably a little surprised when they heard this kind of data.

"Yeah, so this year is really lively, so it also shows that our Wen Dynasty is extremely prosperous."

"Five thousand people, that is enough to sweep away an army of demons."

Everyone nodded, but Tan Weiyi changed the subject and said with a smile.

"Also, I know who the chief examiner of this exam is."

Hearing this, Song Mu raised his eyebrows immediately, and everyone around looked at him.

"It's Master Yan Fu, a great scholar! Just now I saw his rainbow light fall into this Gong Yuan, and there are many Gong Yuan adults behind him."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless immediately, but Song Mu frowned suddenly, and spoke immediately.

"Master Yan Fu, did you work as an examiner before?"

Tan Weiyi shook his head.

"I've never done it before, so I say it's interesting."

"Hey, it would be a little bad if this adult came to be the examiner."

Liu Kaidong next to him frowned at the moment, looking a little serious, and said while looking at the crowd.

"This lord has successively served in the Imperial Academy, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites. Now he is in charge of the compilation of "Tianxia Wenkan". It can be said that he has covered a wide range of subjects."

"And if I remember correctly, this lord rarely publishes articles and poems, and we have no impression of his strategic intentions."

Hearing these words, several people immediately frowned a little. It was as if they had been hit hard before the exam started.
