Treasures of the Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 54 Tragic Students
"Finally, the admission assessment for Wangchen Academy has begun."

"Yes, yes! I expected that there would be many people, but I never thought there would be so many people."

At this moment, there are already crowds of people outside the gate of Wangchen Academy. After a rough estimate, there are 5000 people. This is because Mo Mo only gave half a month. If the enrollment time is announced in advance next year, it is estimated that more people will come. .

In the academy, Mo Mo and Li Mochou were sitting in the hall drinking tea, while Xiao Longnv hid in the back mountain because she didn't like the excitement.

"At first, I wondered why you built the academy so big, but now I understand, I shouldn't doubt your personality, thinking you are a person who is extravagant and wasteful and greedy for luxury and enjoyment." Li Mochou said apologetically Said.

Momo "."

"Girl, you are the invigilator. The written test should have started now, is it really okay for you to drink tea here?" Mo Mo avoided the topic with a few black lines on his head.

"It's okay, isn't there an official from the imperial court trying to figure it out? The first of the first two items is a literary test, which tests their basic skills, while the second item is a test of the six arts of a gentleman. It's best for the imperial court to do these things. How is your preparation for the next test?" Li Mochou said indifferently.

"Don't worry, I have carefully prepared a feast for them, and I guarantee they will be satisfied." Mo Mo smiled, but Li Mochou who was beside him always felt that it was a devil's smile.

There are two examination rooms for the essay test, one is the square of the academy, and the other is the Taolin of the academy. The open-air square is for those who do not meet the regulations, while the Taolin is for students who meet Mo Mo's regulations.

The whole square is paved with bluestone, nearly 20 meters long and wide. There are some fruit trees around the square. There is a high platform in front of the square. The high platform is less than two meters high, [-] meters long and ten meters wide. In the pergola, the tables above are filled with various fruits, while the square below the high platform is filled with desks with a height of [-] to [-] centimeters. On the table are all the four treasures of the study, and there is also a test paper pressed.

The same is true for the Taolin test site on the other side, but the Taolin test site is much better than the square. After all, it is the time of the handover of spring and summer, and candidates' entry time is around ten o'clock. The power of the sun at this time But it was about to radiate out, and the sunshine after noon was simply not too sour, and this exam would take three hours.When the candidates entered the examination room and saw the test papers, their hearts were chilled. Even the ground under their buttocks was not as chilled as they are now.

"What the hell is this! The teacher and his wife fell into the water at the same time, which one do you save first? Who made this question? I have never seen such a weird question."

"Dude, don't rush to be surprised, the rest will be more exciting."

"Fuck, what the hell kind of problem is this? There are five birds in the tree, and one was shot to death. May I ask how many birds are still in the tree?"

"One day, Confucius came to a small river. The water was so clear that the bottom was as deep as his shoulders. He asked, why was Confucius' clothes dry after crossing the river?".
The sun was already in the sky, but the testers present did not feel warm at all, because there were many, many similar questions in the paper, the only normal ones were only three questions, one was about a thousand-character prose, and the other was about two pairs of words. Zi, Yan Yan Yan Yanyan along the eaves and Yan Suo Pond Willow, and another topic is the current situation.

At this moment, Mo Mo has been entangled by Li Mochou and has no temper at all. Since she got the test paper, she has been chasing Mo Mo to ask the answers to these questions. After all, although she has been with Mo Mo for more than half a year, she is still a For the ancients, those questions are a piece of cake for those who often travel on the Internet, but for these ancients who are exposed to Confucius and Mencius, it is as difficult as climbing the sky.

"Tell me quickly, or I will go into the palace tonight and catch the queen and throw her on your bed." Li Mochou said viciously.

Mo Mo "..." "Girl, why don't you run on my bed yourself, I will definitely obey you."

"I'm afraid of you, let me tell you the answer!" After getting along for half a year, Mo Mo knew that if he didn't agree to Li Mochou, she would really run to the palace and arrest the queen, so she told her what she wanted. Answer.

"What? It's so simple, save the one who is closest first, you didn't set a trap or something? For example, if you didn't get the teacher, you were eliminated? This doesn't look like you!" Li Mochou was surprised.

Mo Mo "..."

"It's only the first session now, don't be so cruel, okay, if you scare them all away, there will be no more fun." Mo Mo explained.

"Sure enough, this is the Mo Mo I knew. I was taken aback. I thought you had a sex change." After speaking, Li Mochou patted the stalwart on her chest.

Mo Mo, "Can you still play happily? Friends are gone."

In the end, the essay test lasted for three days, and finally came to a successful conclusion. The academy posted a list of those who passed the essay test, and attached the answers to the test questions.

"What? There's not even a single bird? Didn't you ask how many birds are left? Why isn't there another one?"

"What? There's a bridge over the river. Walk across the bridge so your clothes aren't wet?"

When these students saw the answers, they were extremely surprised. It can be seen that these brain teasers, which are only a little difficult in modern times, are still very lethal to the students in ancient times who list all the time. It caused a lot of wailing, and many well-known scholars and students failed the rankings one after another, but Wangchen Academy responded to the doubts of many students.

"Wangchen Academy accepts geniuses from all over the world, and does not accept mediocre people. If you don't even know some basic flexibility, what qualifications do you have to enter Wangchen Academy to practice?"

And the imperial court also issued a notice at this time, questioning Wangchen Academy is questioning the imperial court, and the imperial court will use Wangchen Academy as an example in the imperial examination every year. So far, no one has questioned the decision of Wangchen Academy. After all, it has offended Wangchen Academy. It's just that he can't enter a famous academy, and he is not the only one in the academy, but if he offends the imperial court, his whole life will be over. After all, scholars basically have the same mentality, learn literary and martial arts to sell to the emperor, and study is for the imperial examination Being an official blogger has a good future, but offending the court all this will become a fantasy.

After the literary test, Wangchen Academy began to prepare for the next test, "Six Arts of a Gentleman".

There are two "six arts", one refers to ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics. "Zhou Li·Bao Shi": "Raising the sons of the country to teach the Tao is to teach the six arts: one is called five rituals, the other is called six music, the third is called five shooting, the fourth is called five controls, the fifth is called six books, and the sixth is called nine numbers." Another theory is that the "six arts" are the six classics, which are "Yi", "Book", "Poetry", "Ritual", "Music", and "Spring and Autumn".The Six Arts are six compulsory courses for gentlemen in ancient China, and its contents include five rites, six music, five shooting, five imperial controls, six books, and nine numbers.The implementation of the six arts education is carried out sequentially according to the age of the students and the depth of the curriculum.And there are small arts and great arts.Book and mathematics are minor arts, which are elementary courses; ritual, music, archery, and royal arts are major arts, and are advanced courses.

And what Mo Mo wants to test them is the four great arts of rites, music, archery, and imperialism.

Rituals are: "auspicious" rituals, used for sacrifices; "bad" rituals, used for funerals; "military" rituals, used for field hunting and military affairs; Ceremony, used for banquets and celebrations.Mo Mo's requirements are not very high, as long as they write down the meaning, classification and some basic taboos of rituals.

Music is: "Yunmen", "Daxian", "Dashao", "Daxia", "Dalu", "Dawu" and other ancient music names, and music has the functions of education, cognition, aesthetics and entertainment. Mo Mo's requirements are not high, as long as they can play a piece of music that satisfies the examiner, there are no restrictions on musical instruments.

Shooting is: "Baiya", "Shenlian", "Yanzhu", "Xiangchi", "Jingyi".The white arrow is the arrow that passes through the target. Use proper force to hit the target, and the white arrow is just exposed.Shenlian fires one arrow first, and the last three arrows go in succession. The one that hits the arrow looks like a single arrow.Yan Note means that the arrow is shot out, the tail of the arrow is high and the arrowhead is low, and it looks like it is moving slowly.Xiangdu of Xiangchi, the minister and the monarch shoot, not standing side by side with the monarch, should give way one foot.The well instrument is to hit four arrows in a row, and the position on the target should be arranged up, down, left, and right like a well.Considering that the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, Mo Mo estimated that few of these people could shoot arrows, so Mo Mo lowered the mark, as long as he could get palladium, he would pass.

The driving skills of Yuji include: "Ming and Luan", "Zhushui Song", "Guo Junbiao", "Dancing Intersection", and "Zuo Qin Zuo".Luan, He are all bells on the car. When the car is moving, the bells hanging on the car must ring harmoniously.Chasing water means driving through tortuous waterways without falling into the water.Passing Junbiao means driving through the gap between the erected poles without knocking down the poles.Dancing on the road means that when driving a car on the road, it should be in line with the rhythm, just like dancing.Chasing birds to the left means that when chasing wild animals in field hunting, the prey should be driven to the left so that the owner sitting on the left side of the car can shoot.

At that time, Mo Mo almost canceled the test of the imperial subject, because he knew that most of these people would not be able to drive, but later Mo Mo thought about it and changed to riding a horse. As long as he can ride a horse and pass a certain obstacle, he will pass.

The examination of the gentleman's six arts lasted for seven days. Although most of the people were eliminated in the essay test, there were still seven or eight hundred left, and the six arts were extremely time-consuming, so the exam took seven days. After the six arts, Mo Mo and Li Mo Sorrow is also gearing up, after all, the later assessment is the main event, and the previous one is just an appetizer.
