Chapter 2141 Examiner

This happened so often that the candidates who came to take the exam for the first time also realized it... This was because someone was afraid that the candidates would pass the exam and deliberately poisoned them!

After all, there are only so many places for Jinshi. If you don't get rid of the good candidates, how can the children of wealthy families and high-ranking officials pass the exam?

After learning the lesson, many foreign officials who wanted to curry favor with aristocratic families and high-ranking officials through cultural gatherings no longer dared to go to banquets, and they all just studied.

But this incident also ruined the mood of the candidates.

Many people were affected and frightened, and could not continue studying. Naturally, they would not be able to do well in the exams, and there were many vacant seats.

"It's the New Year today, you guys take a break and stop writing policy papers. Write every day. When the test comes, you will be so tired that you want to vomit!" Lu Bai almost vomited when he saw them writing policy papers. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, he specially didn't They went out to find death, but prepared iron plates and pots for them to have a good meal.

Dou Shaodong's family also came over and brought them a few kilograms of venison: "Venison is most delicious when roasted, but you can't eat too much. Just taste it, so as not to get sick from eating and drinking and delay the test."

Xu Zhaoming was very happy: "I haven't eaten venison before. I wonder if it tastes good?"

Dou Shaodong's family laughed: "It's delicious, but I'm afraid you'll get nosebleeds and have random dreams at night."

Among the people present, there were some who were married, and some who were not married knew something, and they didn't think it was a big deal. Only Yan Xiaowu was thin-skinned and blushed.

"Stop talking, let's bake it quickly. I've never eaten venison before, so I'm anxious to try it." Lu Bai bluntly sliced ​​the venison with a knife, grilled a piece for himself first, and said in surprise: "Sure enough, it's the same as the others." The meat is different and delicious!”

A group of people had the New Year's Eve dinner happily. They took a day off in the first year of junior high school and continued studying hard in the second year of junior high school.

During this period, many people came to visit and wanted to invite them out for a drink, but Dou Shaodong's family blocked them all.

If Dou Shaodong's family couldn't stop him, the Yan family came out to stop him so that Gu Jinan and the others could study in peace.

Because Gu Jinan and the others didn't come out to socialize, many people were angry.

"This Gu Jin'an is really smart. He hasn't gone out since he entered Beijing. Humph, you think you'll be fine if you hide? Even if you pass the Huiyuan exam and become the top scholar, you can have an accident and prevent you from becoming an official!"

Because of Qin Sanlang's great achievements, Gu Jinli's donation of medicine, Gu Jin'an's donation of prescriptions, etc., Gu Jin'an's reputation was very high in the capital, and he became a figure that many wealthy families and high-ranking officials wanted to get rid of.

There is no other way. If we don’t get rid of him, what will our children do?

With people like Gu Jinan who are knowledgeable and good at doing things, their children will have to work under him even if they pass the exam.

People from Emperor Jingyuan, the Ouyang family, the Zongzheng family, and Ming Cong were also staring at Gu Jinan, but they were more calm and just stared without coming out to socialize.

During the Chinese New Year, Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo sent someone to send a New Year gift to Gu Jinan because of their friendship with Gu Jinan, and Dou Shaodong's family collected it on his behalf.

These two people knew that the test was important, so they only gave gifts and did not come to disturb Gu Jinan.

Also sending New Year's gifts were County Magistrate Xu's family.

County Magistrate Xu was promoted to an official position in Beijing. He was very happy to know that Gu Jinan and the others came to take the examination. He wanted to come and see Gu Jinan several times and talk to him about his feelings, but Jiang Sheng stopped him.

Jiang Sheng scolded him: "Gu Jieyuan and I haven't seen you for many years, and you are a junior. What can I say to you, an old man?"

Xu Chongfeng wiped his tears: "Why don't we know him well? After all, I am half a fellow countryman. I came to the capital to be an official, half of it is because of his family. I can't even vomit bitterness when I meet him?"

As a result, Jiang Sheng scolded him again: "Shut up, you don't want to live anymore? It's a grace for you to come to the capital to be an official. How dare you complain? If you want to die, tell me earlier and I'll help you!"

After hearing this, Xu Chongfeng cried again, but gave up the idea of ​​coming to see Gu Jinan and asked Jiang Sheng to take his son to deliver the test to Gu Jinan on the day of the examination.

…

This year was the year of the Great Competition, and Emperor Jingyuan was in a hurry to hire people, so the adults went to the Yamen after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. After ten days of busy work, they finally finished the examination.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the capital was extremely lively, and many people rushed to Gongyuan while it was still dark.

Gu Jinan and the others were also rushing in the crowd, and their heads hurt when they looked at the crowd of people.

Ouyang Fu and his men, along with the Yan family, led the guards to clear the way for Gu Jinan and the others, but when they arrived at the Gong Yuan, they were still so crowded that their clothes and hair were messed up.

Dou Shaodong's family shouted: "Get in the carriage, get in the carriage quickly, check your body first when you get in, don't let anyone stuff a note, your fame will be cut off if you are found out!"

In previous years, many candidates had slips of paper stuffed into them during the chaos. When they were found out during the inspection at the Tribute Court, they were immediately taken away and their reputation as candidates was cut off.

After Gu Jinan and the others heard this, they quickly got into the carriage.

It is said to be a carriage, but in fact there are no horses, just a few carriages, which are balanced with stones. Nowadays, there are many people, but horses cannot be used. If the horses are frightened, someone will be killed.

There are many more horseless carriages like this, at a glance, both front and back.

This was specially prepared by wealthy families for their children who were taking the college entrance examination, while those who had no money or power could only queue up shivering in the cold wind.

Gu Jinan and the others enjoyed the blessing of Dou Shaodong's family and Yan's family, being able to sleep in the carriage.

After it got dark, the drums sounded loudly, and people began to line up to pay tribute to the courtyard.

There were so many people that it took an hour before it was Gu Jinan's turn.

The examination was a national event, and Emperor Jingyuan set the rules that only those who took the examination could enter in person. After entering, you have to be stripped and examined. You have to throw away your own clothes and wear clothes issued by the Ministry of Etiquette.

Pens, ink, paper, inkstones, food, water, charcoal fire, etc. are all issued by the Ministry of Rites and cannot be brought by oneself.

Inspection, handing out things, and entering the examination booth were a long-term project. By the time all the candidates entered the examination booth, it was already midnight and it was getting dark. Emperor Jingyuan's people entered the Gongyuan with the test questions.

After the examiner gave an order, the military men beat the drums and informed all the candidates of the test questions.

Gu Jinan's guess was right. This year's joint examination will mainly test the peace of the people during the war.

One game every three days, a total of three games, each related to wartime management.

Such test questions stumped half of the candidates. Some people knelt down in the examination booth and cried bitterly: "We are literati. We only do knowledge. How can we know about military affairs? If we can take the military test, it will cut off our literary path!" "

Emperor Jingyuan was in the Gongyuan. He was the real examiner of the Jinke Examination. When he heard this, Long Yan was furious and directly ordered: "Behead him on the spot!"

What time is it now? How can civil servants govern the northwest if they don't know how to fight?

After hearing this, Mr. Ouyang hurriedly knelt down to stop him: "Your Majesty, you can't. This is the Gongyuan, and now it's the examination. If someone is beheaded here, and the news spreads, the scholars will scold the imperial court, and so will the people." I am afraid that I will not dare to come to the capital to take the exam in the future. Your Majesty, this is something that will cause endless consequences and must not be done!"
