Divine Book Era

Chapter 49

Thinking of these, Liu Xiu couldn't help but become crazy.

One plan after another appeared in my mind, and ideas appeared one after another.

Alas, she finally sighed, and Liu Xiu said in her heart: "I want to take the Juren examination. Only by winning the Juren can I become the overlord of Yingzhou!"

After all, scholars are the lowest level, and only those who pass the examination can be regarded as stepping into the middle level.

As for the rural examination, the provincial examination is presided over by the chief examiner appointed by the emperor. All the students who belong to the province, tribute students, and supervisors (including those who are not official and those who are not officials) who pass the scientific examination are allowed to take the examination. In principle, this includes prefectural and county schools. After the scientific examination, the first and second ranks of students and the top three of the third rank, but in fact, all candidates who have passed the scientific examination, recorded subjects, and recorded records can take the test.However, officials who were dismissed due to negligence, street performers, people in brothels, and those whose parents died less than three years ago are not allowed to take the exam.

Because the township examination is mostly held in August, it is also called autumn examination and autumn examination.The regular subjects in the imperial examination are held regularly, and unless there are major events in the country, the general examination time will not change.Therefore, there is no need to issue a notice in advance, and candidates across the country will automatically prepare for the test.In case of celebrations such as the imperial court's birthday and enthronement, it will be temporarily added as Enke.The chief and deputy examiners who preside over the examination are appointed by the central government and the local government officials form a temporary organization to preside over the activities.

On the sixth day of the first day, when the examiners entered the palace, they first held a horse-riding banquet under the curtain, and all the officials inside and outside the curtain had to attend the banquet.After the banquet, the inner curtain officials entered the inner curtain of the back hall, and the supervisors closed the door.The exam is divided into three sessions, and each session takes three days. All three sessions need to enter the exam room one day in advance, that is, the eighth day, the tenth day, and the fourteenth day of the first day, and the day after the exam.

There is about a month until the latest rural examination; there is still one year until the next one.

For a year, I kept reviewing all kinds of homework and getting ready for the exam.

"Zhongju, Zhongju!"

Liu Xiu thought about the word Zhongju, splashed ink, and began to write the novel "Fan Jinzhongju":
"Fan Jinjin came home from school, and his mother and wife were all happy. Just as he was cooking, he saw his father-in-law, Hu Butcher, walking in with a pair of large intestines and a bottle of wine in his hand. Fan Jin bowed to him and sat down. ..."

Brushing the dots, Liu Xiu wrote quickly.

About 600 characters long, only one article was written.

After writing, let the wind blow and dry.

At this time, a gust of fragrant wind appeared, and a woman appeared, it was Xia Lingxuan.

"Congratulations!" Xia Yuxuan said, "The county test, the government test, and the hospital test are all top of the list, and you got the small three yuan!"

"The small three yuan is nothing, but the big *three yuan is the ability!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "I hope, next time, good luck, and pass the exam. Don't become Pu Songling!"

Pu Songling wrote "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio". If it were in modern times, he would be a Nobel Prize winner and a great writer; it is a pity that his luck was extremely bad. , Still did not pass the exam.The reason why he couldn't pass the exam was because the examiner remembered his name, so he couldn't pass the exam.

In the imperial examination field, there is a lot of trouble.

Many people with shocking talents failed the list one after another; on the contrary, those with mediocre talents made the list one after another.As long as there is no illiteracy, Jie Yuan's behavior in the exam, as long as he doesn't cheat too much, the emperor doesn't care about the cheating case.

The emperor has only one bottom line, no rebellion is allowed;

The courtiers have only one bottom line, and they are not allowed to block the way to get rich.

The emperor may fight against corruption, but it is more for the anger of the people than to block the way for the courtiers to get rich.If the emperor blocked the way for his courtiers to make a fortune, the courtiers would not mind admonishing them, and they would not mind letting the emperor die without a problem.

Historically, the cases of cheating in scientific examinations were often caused by courtiers who went too far, making it known all over the world, causing students to resist, and making illiterate people become enlightened.Playing with the emperors as winners, the emperor was angry, so he thoroughly investigated.As for the usual time, if you do a little tricky, some small tricks, as long as you restrain yourself appropriately, the emperor is equivalent to not seeing it, and there is no fish in water.

"Who is Pu Songling?" Xia Lingxuan asked,

"A loser in the imperial examination is just another Fan Jin!" Liu Xiu said, "This is an article I wrote, please read it!"

As he spoke, he handed over the article.

Xia Lingxuan flipped through it, and saw page after page. After a while, she finished reading and said, "You guys are of the same line of literature and Taoism. It's a little pitiful. You did this for mere fame!"

"Actually, there are too many similarities between the lineage of Wen Dao and the line of Immortal Dao!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "The line of Immortal Dao pursues longevity. You practice Taoism. Those who don’t get the bait cannot transcend life and death; the gods who get the bait think they are beyond life and death. Most people still have the day of falling.”

"Immortals are people who stand on the mountain, but even if they stand on the mountain, there is still a sky above the head, and a piece of earth under the feet... The sky is above, and the earth is below, forming a cage, trapping all of you monks!"

"As for our literature and Taoism, what we pursue is fame and fortune. The king can easily decide who is a scholar, and he has to use the imperial examination as bait to lure our scholars to take the imperial examination. Those who fail the imperial examination cannot escape; those who are lucky enough to get on the list , it looks like a master, but in fact it’s just an eagle dog raised by the king! Since the imperial examination, scholars have been locked in a cage by the king, and there will be no more heroes in troubled times!”

"Since you hate the road of imperial examinations, why don't you abandon the imperial examinations and enter my immortal way!" Xia Lingxuan tempted, "The mortal dust is rolling, and the lifespan of a mortal is only a hundred years; but for us monks, as long as we are great monks, our lifespan is about a thousand years; The higher the value, the longer the lifespan!"

Liu Xiu said: "The delicacies of mountains and seas are delicious, but the taste of steamed buns and pickles is unpalatable. However, I still like steamed buns and pickles because they can be obtained easily; but delicacies of mountains and seas are beyond reach. It is indeed a great way to embark on the road of cultivating Taoism." I can live forever, but it is too far away from me, there are many monks, but there are only a few people who can live forever!"

"I'd better take care of the present first! Longevity is beautiful, but the distance is far away; and the imperial examination is close at hand, but it can be achieved quickly!"

Xiandao is actually just another imperial examination.

Xianmen is actually just another imperial court.

It seems that there are too many differences, but in fact, there are too many similarities.

"Well, people have their own ambitions. If one day you hate the imperial examinations and the world of mortals, I will welcome you into the fairy gate and pursue the road to longevity!" Xia Lingxuan said.

"If I achieve fame and fame, and have free time, I will join the Xianmen lineage and practice various immortal arts!"

Liu Xiu said calmly.

"Before you leave, give me another poem!" Xia Lingxuan said, "I will leave Yingzhou soon, and the world of mortals will be rolling. I came from the fairy gate and walked into the world of mortals for the sake of experience, not in a place, stay too long!"

"What is the subject matter?"

Liu Xiu asked.

"Our Tianwu Sect uses dance to enter the Tao. The dance music contains the Dao, which can arouse the will of the gods." Xia Lingxuan said, "Tonight, you must come to my Tianwu Building!"
