Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 355 The First Imperial Examination
After escorting the supplies back to Gyeongju, Fu Hongzhi reassembled all the armed cavalry.

The cavalry who could be assigned to armor were all first-class elites under Fu Hongzhi's command. At this moment, they gathered together solemnly without making a sound, waiting quietly for Fu Hongzhi to speak.

"A few days ago! I went to Chang'an!"

"The young soldiers known as the "Habayashi Army" are also training cavalry! They also threatened to surpass us and become the main force of the cavalry on the battlefield! Do you agree?"

"No promise!"

Since its establishment, the Changning Army has been a troop with cavalry as its ace.

The last Northern Expedition has proved the combat effectiveness of the Changning army, and now there are [-] cavalry units, how dare the so-called "Habayashi Army" come to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?

Looking at the excited soldiers, Fu Hongzhi was unmoved on the face, but happy in his heart.

"When His Majesty's next Northern Expedition occurs, we will use our achievements to tell them who is the leader of the Great Song cavalry!"

"Here!"

With the end of Daye's three-year spring plowing, the planning of imperial examinations was gradually put on the agenda.

The first imperial examination, no accident, will be divided up by most of the Imperial Academy and other aristocratic academies.

But never mind.

At least this hope starts from Chang'an, and spreads through the government from state to state, and county to county.

A large number of poor scholars finally had a chance to jump into the dragon's gate and break the family politics since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The students from wealthy families finally felt a sense of crisis, and the first to bear the brunt were the many students from the Imperial College.

They are all from prominent families, but the thought of competing with heroes from all over the country makes their scalps tingle.

These flowers that were pampered in the greenhouse finally felt the horror of "involvement", and each one of them was so rare that they began to stay up all night and study hard, trying not to embarrass the family.

In addition to the pressure from the family, there is also pressure from the emperor.

Compared with others, the "Five Tigers" are under more pressure.

After all, they are the ones that the emperor has been paying attention to all the time. If they fail the exam, it will inevitably make the emperor wonder if they are perfunctory.

Among the six subjects to be tested, the "Ming Jing", "Ming Shu", and "Ce Lun" are subjects that they have been studying since they were born. Naturally, they are not difficult for them.

However, the three courses of "Ming Fa", "Ming Li" and "Ming Suan" made their brains very troubled.

The "Daye Law" edited by Wang Maide contained thousands of punishments, and they were almost driven crazy by these laws and regulations.

As for mathematics, it's still the same sentence, if you know it, you can do it, if you don't know it, you won't kill it.

Many courses in "Ming Li" are very interesting, but if they become topics, they will become very unlovable, and these five people will cry and have a headache.

Xue An, the youngest, was the most impatient. He dropped his pen when he was learning: "Damn! I won't take the exam!"

Then, he looked at the other four people: "Let's go to Jiaofangsi to play! I heard that there are a new batch of barbarian dancers there!"

"Okay."

Liu Yuanjing silently raised his head and glanced at him while thinking about the topic, then quickly lowered his head.

"Both Zongxi and I work in the Ministry of Education, and we will be promoted sooner or later."

"Brother Zhu Xiuzhi joined the army under General Shen Tianzi, and has made military achievements. His future is boundless."

"An Jie has a hereditary county title and official position."

"What do you have? Go home and farm?"

Xue Andu: "..."

It hurts though.

But there is nothing wrong with what Liu Yuanjing said!
Dejectedly, he picked up the brush that was thrown out, and then sat on the seat unwillingly and continued to gnaw on the book.

"Because the weather is still cool and you can read books, you can learn more."

Zhu Xiuzhi, the oldest, persuaded: "I don't know why the emperor insists on setting the imperial examination on June [-]th every year, when the weather is the hottest, if you still want to study in such a comfortable way, I'm afraid it will be impossible. "

Hearing this, Xue An became even more depressed, and couldn't even calculate the most basic "Pythagorean Theorem".

Seeing this, An Jie helped him and said, "Don't panic, let alone be impatient when doing the "Ming Suan" exam. I think the emperor put the "Ming Suan" exam in the morning for the purpose of clearing the examinee's mind."

Liu Yuan nodded: "Indeed."

"On the contrary, subjects like "Ming Fa" that are mostly memorized and comprehended are put in the afternoon. It can be seen that the emperor really cares about the examinees."

The public announcement of the imperial examination has been printed.

The exam officially starts on the morning of the sixth day of June. Candidates need to come to the exam room for a physical examination two hours in advance.

After that, the first subject "Strategy" will be tested first.

Putting the policy theory examination in the first section can be regarded as the imperial court telling the scholars all over the world about the requirements of the imperial examination, that is, to put practicality first.

After that, there are "Mingli", "Mingsuan", "Mingfa", "Mingshu", and "Mingjing".

I don't know if the emperor did it on purpose, but the "Ming Jing", which has been extremely important since ancient times, was put in the last one, which makes people have to doubt the emperor's malice towards this subject.

Different from previous tests, the official document promulgated by the imperial court clearly stated that the imperial examination will use "fuzzy names" to mark the papers, and the scores of the six subjects will be announced after the papers are marked.

Such a fair way is naturally that some people are happy and others are worried.

The "Five Tigers" can all become famous generals who have made great military exploits in history. No matter how indifferent to fame and fortune they usually have, when they encounter this kind of fresh "list" ranking, they are also fighting. Naturally, I am happy to see emergence of rankings.

Others from aristocratic families are miserable. It is really unacceptable for proud aristocratic families to let countless people "step on" their heads by releasing their names.

On the one hand, it is because of bravely climbing the peak, and on the other hand, it is because of avoiding humiliation.

There is no doubt that both sides will show great fighting power, and this is the first imperial examination, so it is very likely that some people will not even know their mothers.

Not only scholars but also the imperial court are preparing for the exam.

For the imperial court, it is also the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair for the imperial court, from question setting to venue preparation, and then from invigilation to examination paper review.

If it weren't for the experience accumulated in the last medical test and Liu Yizhen, the emperor who had been tortured by the test, whether the court could come up with a satisfactory answer would still be a big question mark.

Fortunately, as May is approaching, all the preparations for the imperial court have been completed, and scholars from various states in the Liu Song Dynasty also gathered in Chang'an City to welcome this unprecedented event in the Liu Song Dynasty——

Imperial examination!
