After entering the main entrance, a civil servant checked his identity and resume. After checking, he led him to an empty space.
There were already quite a number of people. Some were young, some were old, some were taking the exam for the first time, and some were old foxes. They were divided into small circles and were clearly divided.
The annual examination had become a triennial examination. How many examinees had accumulated?
There were thousands of people in just one place, and it was quite troublesome to manage.
It was much more difficult to get an official rank than before, and Top Scorer was also more valuable. Of course, the number of people admitted had also increased a lot.
Pa!
Yang Yi felt someone pat his shoulder. Fortunately, his body had been strengthened before. Otherwise, this slap would not have been light.
He turned his head and saw a fat man who was about to burst out of his clothes. This fat man was fair and clean. His forehead was wide and he had a battle armor. The corners of the earth were square and the celestial heavens were full. One look and one could tell that he was a blessed person.
She had a pair of bean-shaped eyes, and her eyes were bright. Her clothes were gorgeous, but the size was a little small, and she looked a little tight.
This person was Cai Dun, whom he had met at the poetry meet.
"Brother Caidun?" Yang Yi was shocked. How did this fatty sneak in? Could it be that he wanted to take the imperial examination?
Cai Dun smiled like a Maitreya." What a coincidence, Brother Yang.”
Yang Yi said," Brother Cai, as one of the four great jackals, why didn't you go and flirt with the little lady? Why are you here?"”
Cai Dun looked worried about the country and its people." We scholars worry about the country's fate and the people's livelihood. We learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family to establish the lives of the people and create peace for all generations."
"Please, speak, people, word," Yang Yi complained.
Cai Dun was dumbfounded. He cupped his hands and said," Brother Yang, what do you mean? What is this silk?"”
"Brother Caidun, please speak in human language." Yang Yi said, stroking his forehead.”
"My family forced me to." Cai Dun sighed.”
Yang Yi expressed his understanding. In this day and age, having a high position, whether or not one was an official, had great benefits. It was better than idling around.
"Brother Yang, are you confident in taking the exam this time?" Cai Dun suddenly leaned forward and asked.”
Yang Yi smiled and said,"You have to try your best to pass the exam."”
Who could say for sure about this kind of thing? He did not want to leave anyone's mouth.
Cai Dun chuckled and said,"Brother Yang, you and I hit it off at first sight. I have a question here. Do you want it?"”
Yang Yi was stunned. Was this fatty for real? Brother Little Dun is still amazing.
However, he thought that it shouldn't be difficult to take the High Scholar examination, so he shook his head and refused.
"Brother Yang, you've missed a great opportunity." Cai Dun shook his head and said.”
Yang Yi smiled bitterly. He did not doubt Cai Dun's questions because cheating was prevalent in the Song Dynasty. Although there were many ways to prevent cheating, it could not stop these people with connections.
The examiners in the Song Dynasty were the same as those in the modern era. The examiner was responsible for setting the questions. In order to prevent the examiners from cheating, the Northern Song Dynasty also implemented a method of "locking the court". It required the selected examiners to "not talk to the officials" after entering the examination hall. They had to complete the process of setting the questions, introducing the test, marking the papers, and so on. Only after the results were released could they leave.
However, there were drawbacks to this system. For example, some examiners leaked test questions before locking the courtyard. Even the famous Su Shi had done this.
When Su Shi presided over the tribute examination, he leaked the questions in front of the locked courtyard. He wrote down the questions in advance and gave them to his disciple Li Meng to ensure that Li Meng could pass the examination.
However, when it was delivered, Li was not at home. The question was obtained by Zhang's two sons, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Chi. The two began to study the question and answered according to Su Shi's style of writing. Finally, Zhang Yuan won the first place and Zhang Chi won the tenth place. Li Meng failed.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Luo Dajing even praised Su Shi for this matter: "Yu Weipo's fist and fist to Uncle Fang () is really a matter of great virtue.”Luo Dajing was also an official who had taken the examination. Such praise showed the darkness of the Song Dynasty officialdom.
It was still the same sentence. Cheat sheets were the lowest level of cheating, and confirming with the examiner's eyes was the best way to cheat.
It was normal for Cai Dun to be able to obtain the examination questions. It was just that he actually told him. He did not know if he was foolish or unscrupulous.
Yang Yi cupped his hands and said,"Then I wish Brother Caidun high school."”
Cai Dun had a smug look on his face as he cupped his hands and returned the greeting. On his back were big and small bags, making cracking sounds.
Yang Yi keenly noticed that among the examinees here, he and Cai Dun seemed to have brought the most things.
The people around them looked at the two of them as if they were ashamed to be with them.
Cai Dun didn't have any reaction, he didn't care at all.
Yang Yi's heart was as still as water as he waited for the battle to begin.
Not long after, an official wearing a red official robe, a brocade ribbon, and a virtuous crown walked in. There was a "collar" around his neck.
Yang Yi had studied this thing in his previous life. It was called a square heart and a curved collar. The top circle represented destiny, and the bottom represented imperial power.
When the official announced the entrance, the scene immediately became chaotic. The official berated and immediately quieted down.
They entered the venue according to the order and headed to the room.
