back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 632 Unexpected Gains

A quarter of an hour later, the system exam officially began.Except for the Caiying Wind and Music Section, which is held in the Hall of Imperial Instruments, the other sixteen subjects of the system are all written examinations, which are all held in the Jiying Hall.After all, the wind music subject is about music, and Lu Chengqi doesn't know anything about musical instruments at this time. If he went to the proctor for the exam, wouldn't he be venting himself?However, his topic was also very ingenious. He specially taught the court ladies to sing a song three times in total, and asked these candidates to write the tune after three times and play it with musical instruments.As for how well the performance is, the court lady has the final say.Who is this maid?Naturally, it was Lu Chengqi's envoy from Xianshao when he was in court.This is a maid who has been selected to enter the imperial palace. Her accomplishments in musical instruments are beyond the reach of ordinary people.Profession is a matter, let the professionals do it.

Invigilation is a painful job, the examinee is in pain, and the invigilator is also in pain.Needless to say, candidates are suffering, who likes exams?The invigilator is in pain because during the invigilator period, there is nothing to do but keep his eyes on the examinee.Fortunately, Lu Chengqi was well prepared, called Gao Hao to fetch a book, and read it with relish.As for the invigilation work, leave it to Cai Xiang.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the exam, Cai Xiang ran to Lu Chengqi's side and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have seen some promising talents."

Lu Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Oh, Cai Qing is so sure?"

"I don't dare to be sure about other disciplines, but when it comes to calligraphy, I still have some insight." Cai Xiang said confidently.

Hearing this, Lu Chengqi felt a little moved in his heart, closed the book, and said in a low voice: "Don't disturb them, I'll go down and have a look." As far as Lu Chengqi's specialty is concerned, calligraphy is one of them.Even though his handwriting can only be said to be quite satisfactory now, not brilliant, but compared to other piano, chess, and painting, it is still more than a step above.Because Lu Chengqi didn't know anything about piano, chess, or painting.Just because you don't understand doesn't mean that Lu Chengqi won't appreciate it. Many people have the same opinion about beautiful things.

Slowly following Cai Xiang among the examinees, the first thing he saw was a young man, probably not even fifteen years old.Lu Chengqi had some doubts in his heart: "How can this person take the exam at such a young age?"

Leaning over to take a look calmly, I saw this young man, hesitating for a long time before he stopped writing, before he finished a single word in one breath.Look carefully, but it is running script.Literally, this force is not considered mature, even naive.But its style is rare to see, it is self-contained and quite attractive.

Looking at the candidate's name again, a rice character came into view, and the rest of the character did not know whether he wrote it too scribbled or Lu Chengqi didn't know it, anyway, he couldn't pronounce it.After secretly remembering this kid, Lu Chengqi continued to check other people's words.Sure enough, the one recommended by Cai Xiang was also of a weak age, but his writing skills were not weak.The hand-running script is like flowing clouds and flowing water. Its opening and closing, the shape of the characters is flat and wide, and the characters are raised to the right.The running script has the style of regular script, but it is a bit obscure, not only does not affect the overall aesthetic feeling, it even adds a bit of elegance.This level of writing power actually overwhelmed all the people who came to try.It's just that he had already changed a piece of rice paper, so Lu Chengqi couldn't see his name anymore.

The rest of the people have good calligraphy skills, but they are a little dull, they only know how to copy, and they don't have their own style.After Lu Chengqi took a look, he lost interest.It's like a person who eats good rice every day, and suddenly one day eats brown rice. This mood absolutely does not want to eat another bite.

Slowly came to the painting department again, and someone was already coloring.Lu Chengqi nodded slightly, he could think of a way to solve this problem so quickly, this person's mind is very good.This is a very famous painting topic, but unfortunately no one has raised it at this time.There are only seven characters in this title, "Treading the flowers and returning to the horseshoe fragrance". The meaning of this poem is very clear: People ride horses to enjoy the flowers in spring. It also became fragrant.This topic is not easy to draw.Tourists, falling flowers, and horseshoes are all tangible and easy to draw; but the fragrance of horseshoes is not easy to draw.Fragrance is breath, which can only be smelled, not seen or touched, so it is really difficult to draw.And the poetic eye of this poem lies in the word "fragrance", which must be drawn.

Fragrance is subjective consciousness, how can it be expressed in paintings?At this time, there is no exaggerated form of expression in comics, so what kind of lines can be used to express fragrance.So many people are stuck in a situation where they can't do anything, and they don't even know how to write.Seeing the passage of time, many people had to start writing.

Lu Chengqi leaned over and took a look. These people either drew tourists, or they were riding horses. There were fallen flowers all over the ground, tourists riding on horses, and horseshoes stepping on flower petals... Where is the word "Xiang"?It didn't show up at all.Lu Chengqi knew the answer in his heart, and thought: "If someone thinks of a different answer, then he must have seen a ghost. Even if it is even close, he is considered a genius, right?"

And the next water conservancy subject is also a classic question, how to control the flood of the Yellow River?The topic of the architecture department is, can Zhaozhou Bridge be replicated?The topic of the artisan course is simpler, designing an irrigation facility... Anyway, it is a big brain hole, and Lu Chengqi threw out problems that no one in this era has thought about, no wonder he is so concerned about this course. up.It can be predicted that if it matches the answer in his heart, I am afraid that his official career will be smooth and smooth...

Time passed bit by bit, and two hours soon arrived.The questions Lu Chengqi asked were so weird that many people hadn't finished answering them.Lu Chengqi didn't have any extra-judicial favors, and accepted the papers without discrimination.Many candidates complained that although this topic is only one, it really covers everything and they don't know how to write.

Lu Chengqi's goal was achieved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he watched the scholars slowly exiting the Jiying Hall.If there is no accident, these seventeen topics will cause a national sensation in tomorrow's "Da Shun Min Bao".Who can answer such a weird question within two hours?
Many candidates shook their heads, it seemed that they had no hope for this course system.

Lu Chengqi was a vigorous and resolute person. After the papers were collected, he began to review them.For this examination, he left all the memorials to the cabinet to deal with.He wants to spare time to do his best to recruit scholars for the country.Talent is the foundation of a country. If a court is full of Jinshi backgrounds and Mingjing backgrounds, then the court is hopeless and is going downhill.

Lu Chengqi treated these papers fairly with an attitude of thinking for the country.It has to be said that after being enlightened by "Dashun Min Bao", these scholars have more ideas of their own than the previous ones, which is a good trend.Even if these ideas are not very reasonable, as long as you dare to think about it, it is an improvement, isn't it?
From noon to night, Lu Chengqi finally screened dozens of papers and asked Gao Hao to transcribe them and submit them. Lu Chengqi was shocked: "Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian? Don't these great talents have fame yet?" Let's look at others Wang Weiyi, Xu Xi, Zhu Gong, Tang Shenwei, Qian Yi, Li Gonglin, Wen Tong... I seem to have heard of them all somewhere, "Could it be that I accidentally caught these talents in a net, can't I come out?" Lu Chengqi It's a bit unexpected, this time the system is really wrong!
