Chapter 539 2 Tests
"I see, I will have a good rest tonight." Yunmengxi nodded in agreement, and he didn't want Chu Zhuang to be worried because of him at this time.
Chu Zhuang knew that it was impossible for Yunmengxi not to be worried at all, but at least he would listen to his words and take a good rest so as not to damage his body.
Fortunately, the exam is only for this period of time, and everyone will pass after a little patience.
At night, Chu Zhuang coaxed Yunmengxi to see that he was asleep, so he fell asleep.
On the second day, Yunmengxi's complexion obviously improved a lot, and he really had to be by Chu Zhuang's side to be able to sleep peacefully.
After the rankings were released, only one day was left for the candidates to recuperate, so Chu Zhuang had no choice but to take the exam again.
Early in the morning, the gate of the Gongyuan hadn't opened yet, but there was already a long queue on the street outside.
These are the candidates who came to take the exam.
"Everyone looks so energetic!"
Chu Zhuang looked at the crowd around him with a surprised expression.
When the first round of exams came out, most of the candidates were in a very bad state. It has only been a few days, and everyone has adjusted their state?
Seeing that Chu Zhuang didn't understand, Yunhong explained to him.
The results of the first round of exams can be kept for three years, that is to say, as long as the students pass, in the next three years, they can directly take the second round of exams without taking the first round of exams.
Under normal circumstances, most of the candidates who have taken the first round of exams will suffer from minor or serious illnesses and cannot continue to take the second round of exams.
Therefore, most of the candidates who are taking the second round of exams are candidates from previous years.
"I see."
Chu Zhuang suddenly realized and nodded.
It's just that he became more and more dissatisfied with the imperial examination system of Yue Dynasty.
Isn't this imperial examination for the selection of officials by the court?
Why can't the test environment be better?
The emperor never came out in the palace, so he may not know about it, but why can't those officials who have participated in the imperial examination mention this matter and improve the environment of the imperial examination?
It's just that although Chu Zhuang is dissatisfied, he is powerless to change the situation right now, and can only see if there is a chance in the future.
"I'm in."
Chu Zhuang took the test basket from Yunmengxi, and bid farewell to the people who came to send the test.
"Well, Chu Zhuang, take care of your body."
Yunmengxi looked at Chu Zhuang earnestly, and exhorted.
"I will, don't worry about me." Chu Zhuang smiled at Yunmengxi, telling him not to worry.
Chu Zhuang followed the crowd into the tribute courtyard, and Yunmengxi and the others left only after they could no longer see him.
The same simple number room, no, it was dirtier than the previous number room, and the room was filled with an unpleasant rotten smell.
Chu Zhuang put his eyes on the Gong barrel, looking at the stains left on it, his complexion was a bit ugly.
Although all the contents inside had been dumped, it was obvious that the people in the Gongyuan did not arrange for someone to clean the toilet in such a short period of time.
"Hey!"
Chu Zhuang sighed helplessly, took out a handkerchief and tore it in half, made one half into a simple mask, and the other half was used to wipe the tables and chairs.
The test questions were distributed to Chu Zhuang within the stipulated time.
Compared with the densely packed test questions in the first round of exams, the amount of questions in this round of exams is undoubtedly much less.
Chu Zhuangjiang took a while to read the test paper from beginning to end. Although the amount of questions is small, the difficulty has increased a lot, and the questions are more meaningful.
Chu Zhuang also expressed his understanding of this.
The purpose of the first round of exams is only to examine the candidates' daily accumulation and background, to screen out the opportunistic ones, and only leave those with a solid foundation.
After all, in the second round of exams, if you're lucky, you'll probably be hit by the question.
The second round of the exam is divided into three parts.
The first part is the scriptures and meanings, which are divided into two types of questions: Tie Jing and Mo Yi.
The so-called post scriptures are fill-in-the-blank questions, where one sentence is extracted from the scriptures and you are asked to fill in the previous sentence or the next sentence.
The questions in the exam are quite biased. If you don't study hard on weekdays, you may ignore them.
The so-called moyi is a question and answer question, giving your explanation and answer based on the scriptures given.
This interpretation of the scriptures also shows the level of your reading. If you have a high level of interpretation, it will naturally be thorough, and if your level is low, you will naturally be vague.
The second part is poetry. There are two poems and one word.
In order to prevent candidates from betting on questions, special regulations have been made for this purpose.
It is necessary to use a specific format to write poems with prescribed themes.
For example, the first topic is a line of poetry: "The furnace is very hard and disheartened since I practiced myself."
Lime is mentioned in the poem, if you can't see it or misunderstand it, then there is no need to continue answering this question.
This is already off topic, so no matter how good the poem is, it will definitely get zero points.
But don't be in a hurry to start writing if you are sure it is a poem about lime. There is also a format requirement for this title.
This requires writing a seven-character quatrain, four lines of poetry, each line has seven characters, and there are specific requirements for rhyming.
If the format is wrong, don't even think about scoring this question.
Even if the examinee wins the exam questions on weekdays and writes a poem about Lime, what he may not have written is a seven-character quatrain.
The third part is policy theory.
When the Yue Dynasty first held the imperial examinations, there were not many requirements for policy theory.
Candidates can criticize current malpractices, speak freely, and even directly point out the shortcomings of the court and the emperor, and the emperor will not convict for this.
Today, it is different from the imperial examinations of the predecessors.
For the part of policy theory, the examiners are no longer looking at the opinions of the candidates, but the flattering skills of the candidates.
Who can write more colorful articles, who can sing the praises of ancient sages, who can praise the wisdom of His Majesty today, and who can show his loyalty to the court and the emperor.
Then whose article score will be higher.
There are two questions in the theory of policy, the first question is how to control floods, and the second question is how to prevent and control plague.
Last year was a year full of disasters and disasters. Floods occurred in many places in the south, causing many people to be homeless.
After the catastrophe, there will be a catastrophe. When more people die, the plague will easily break out when the weather is hot.
These two questions are based on the current facts of the Yue Dynasty.
Chu Zhuang read all the topics, and started with the first part of the scriptures.
Now the answer is written on the draft paper, checked and revised to make sure there are no mistakes, and then transcribed on the exam paper.
The topic was not difficult for Chu Zhuang, and he finished writing it all in one morning.
After finishing the first part, Chu Zhuang was not in a hurry to continue. He took out bread and water from the test basket and started to eat lunch.
The weather is still very cold, and it is not allowed to heat food in the examination room. If you bring steamed buns or something, they will harden as soon as they are cold, and you can't even bite them, but bread is fine.
After lunch, Chu Zhuang walked around for a while to digest food, and then took a short nap. After getting up in the afternoon, he started to answer the second part.
Poetry is not difficult for Chu Zhuang who is familiar with Tang poetry and Song Ci.
Although there were format requirements, he quickly found suitable poems.
For the first poem, Chu Zhuang chose "Lime Yin" by Yu Qian, a hero who saved the country in the Ming Dynasty.
"Thousands of hammers and tens of thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains, and the fire is burning like nothing. Don't be afraid of breaking your bones and breaking your body. You must stay innocent in the world."
It is said that Yu Qian wrote this poem when he was 12 years old. This poem is his life pursuit and a true portrayal of his life.
The second poem is a poem chanting people, the character is a mother, and the format is a five-character poem.
The moment he saw the title, "Wandering Zi Yin" appeared in Chu Zhuang's mind.
The poem praising maternal love, in Chu Zhuang's mind, this poem ranks first!
The third piece is Ci, and the title is very simple, with only three words "Ding Fengbo".
This is the name of the Ci Pai. There are only dozens of Ci Pai names in total, each of which has its own unique rules, and one of them is usually selected for testing.
Chu Zhuang thought for a while, and finally chose the song "Ding Fengbo" by Su Shi.
I wrote the three poems on the draft paper, checked them, and made sure there were no omissions in the poems, so I filled in the poems.
Only one day has passed since Chu Zhuang finished writing the first two parts.
After the sky darkened, Chu Zhuang continued writing without lighting a candle.
The candlelight is too weak, and it hurts the eyes if you look at it for a long time. Now that you have plenty of time, there is no need to squeeze this little time.
After dinner, he simply stretched his body in the narrow numbered room, and Chu Zhuang fell asleep early.
After breakfast the next morning, Chu Zhuang began to formally start the two policy topics of the third part.
Chu Zhuang naturally knew the "rules" of the imperial examination policy theory.
Chu Zhuang can write gorgeous splendid articles, but looking at these two questions, Chu Zhuang doesn't want to write those fake words.
The first question is about water control. Although Chu Zhuang is not a major in water conservancy engineering, he has vision and knowledge thousands of years ahead of this era, and he still understands some basic common sense.
For example, "consolidate the dikes and dams", "cut the bends and straighten them", "emphasize both loosening and blocking" and so on.
These experiences have been practiced and are indeed feasible.
As for the second question, about the plague, Chu Zhuang is now sorting out the knowledge of mathematics and medicine in the space, and he has more experience in the prevention and control of the plague.
If Chu Zhuang writes out the method he knows and the court adopts his suggestion, then these two articles can save the lives of Yue Chao!
Of course, Chu Zhuang made such a decision because he was sure that his articles could be seen by the emperor.
If the emperor hadn't bet on Chu Zhuang, even if Chu Zhuang had written two very valuable articles, they would have been rejected by the examiner before they were presented to the emperor.
But now Chu Zhuang has no worries in this regard.
After Chu Zhuang made a decision, he began to conceive how to write these two policy theories.
As for policy theory, the examination did not have too many regulations, so Chu Zhuang wrote in the format he was better at writing essays.
It is roughly divided into three parts.
First, the first part raises the question, the second part analyzes the problem, and the third part solves the problem.
