He Kun left Spring Breeze Yard.
After finding out the location of the examination hall from passersby, he rushed straight to it.
After walking for about an hour, He Kun finally arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
The Imperial Examination Hall was a huge government building that was shaped like a four-sided courtyard.
There were stone lions and statues of Confucius in front of the examination hall, and there were soldiers guarding the entrance.
After He Kun submitted his exam registration and was searched to ensure that he didn't carry any exam questions, the soldiers gave him an exam number and let He Kun into the examination hall.
Phoenix Feather's imperial examination system was inherited from the Ming Dynasty. Each examination had a total of three rounds, each lasting three days.
In the ancient imperial examinations, the examinees who participated in the examination would answer questions in cubicles that were like toilet cubicles. For three days, they would eat, drink, and pee inside.
He Kun was already prepared for a long battle.
He Kun found his own cubicle according to the exam number. He laid out his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to calmly wait for the start of the imperial examination.
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
The young and energetic Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, who had just ascended to the throne for more than a year, felt bored in the palace after a day of work. He called for Wu Shu, the chief eunuch and his trusted aide.
"Shu Lai, recommend a fun place for zhen. zhen is preparing to go out of the palace to relax.”
Wu Shulai, who was standing in front of the Great Qian Emperor, immediately started thinking.
It had been more than a year since the Emperor of Great Qian ascended the throne. He had been able to replace Wu Peisheng, the former Chief Eunuch, and become the new Chief Eunuch. It was all because he knew how to read the Emperor's mind. Logically speaking, the eunuchs should have stopped the Emperor from sneaking out of the palace to play in order to ensure the Emperor's safety.
However, Wu Shulai did the exact opposite and followed the Great Qian Emperor's wishes.
In less than a year, he had been promoted from an ordinary deacon eunuch to a chief eunuch. This was something that other eunuchs would never be able to do in their lifetime.
Wu Shulai recalled that the imperial examination hall was holding a general exam today, so he immediately said,"Your Majesty, the imperial examinations are being held in the Imperial Capital today. I think it would be better for Your Majesty to go on a private visit and see the future pillars of the country.”
Da Qian was delighted when he heard this." Shulai, your suggestion is good. Let's go to the Imperial Examination Hall."”
After putting on some makeup, the Great Qian Dynasty did not change into civilian clothes this time. Instead, he changed into the official uniform of the Golden Rooster, which was only worn by a second-rank official of Phoenix Feather. He led Wu Shulai, who was dressed as a minor official, and a few imperial experts to the Jiangnan Examination Hall.
By the time Great Gan arrived, the exam had already begun.
The examiners gave out the questions, and the examinees were answering their answers.
Da Qian ordered the imperial guards to stay outside the examination hall and asked Wu Shulai to hold a token that represented his identity. The two of them entered the examination hall.
Everyone thought that Da Qian was the examiner for the patrol, so no one cared.
Da Qian walked in the examination hall where the examinees were answering questions. From time to time, they would stand behind the examinees and watch their answers.
For examinees who answered well, Da Qian would take a second look. For examinees who answered badly, Da Qian would just ignore them.
……
After the exam officially began, He Kun received the exam papers and questions.
He Kun didn't immediately pick up a pen to grind the ink like the other examinees. He first picked up the test paper and read it.
The imperial examinations of the Qing and Ming Dynasties were basically based on the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as historical theory, poetry, and Fu.
The first round of the exam was the Four Books and Five Classics, which was also the eight-part essay. There were a total of three questions, namely:
" The path of a university lies in showing one's virtue, in being close to the people, and in achieving perfection."
" Neutral and not reliant, strong indeed."
" Bring the people of the world, gather the goods of the world, trade and retreat, everyone has their place."
He Kun was a transmigrator. Originally, he did not understand the Four Books and Five Classics. However, after fusing with the memories of the original He Kun and inheriting He Kun's rich knowledge, he was already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. He was even more familiar with the eight-part essay.
After reading the questions, He Kun had almost figured out the key points of the questions and the answers to these questions. He Kun ground the ink and spread out the paper, starting to answer the questions on the test paper.
He Kun answered the questions in one go, unlike the other examinees around him who sometimes stopped writing and frowned, sometimes biting their pens and racking their brains.
He stood upright, and his brush seemed to have a spirit, moving like a dragon and snake.
In just four hours, the first question was answered.
After finishing the first chapter, He Kun took the paperweight away and looked at the rich, graceful, and handsome paper. He was very satisfied with the master-level calligraphy drawn from the system.
"According to history, He Kun failed the imperial examination this time. I hope I can rewrite this ending!”
He Kun sighed in his heart as he placed the test paper to the side and prepared to dry it.
In the original history, He Kun did not rely on the imperial examinations to make a name for himself. After he failed the imperial examinations, he became a saber guard of the Great Qian Dynasty by chance. After that, he was appreciated by the Great Qian Dynasty and slowly embarked on the path of becoming a rice worm that could rival a country.
After resting for an hour, He Kun was about to continue answering the questions.
"It's time to eat."
At this moment, a group of minor officials carried four wooden barrels into the examination hall.
Food was distributed to all the examinees.
The food was ordinary rice and stir-fried vegetables. There were three to four dishes. There were all kinds of meat and vegetables.
However, such a big pot of rice would not taste good.
He Kun also received his portion of food and a bowl of radish soup.
He Kun picked up his chopsticks and tasted the food. He felt that the taste of the food was average, but no matter what, it was enough to fill his stomach. He was already hungry, so he wolfed it down and prepared to continue answering the questions.
However, he noticed that after the team of officials who distributed food, a young official dressed in a golden pheasant official robe walked in.
Behind the young official was a small official with fair skin, like a woman, but with a masculine aura. He looked extremely contradictory.
The young official walked and stopped in the examination hall. From time to time, he would stand behind the examinees and look at the examination papers placed on the table. Soon, the young official came behind He Kun.
