Chapter 97
After the restructuring, there are three imperial examinations. The first one is essays, and one poem and one fu are required.And because of the gradual pursuit of poetry and prose in recent years, this trend has gradually appeared in the imperial examinations. Candidates are all racking their brains for the first poems and prose.
This is the first game!
This year's restructuring is better, and the results will be known after three exams.In the past, if the performance in the first round was not proper, it would directly fail and lose the qualification for the second round.
Yu Yu looked at the title carefully. The title of this poem is quite satisfactory, and there is no requirement for a limited level. It simply requires five characters.
This theme is very appropriate for the occasion, after all, the first month is also the beginning of spring.
Yu Yu put the last Fu scroll aside, only glanced at the title and found that there was nothing to avoid, so he settled down to think about how to write this poem.
He has mediocre talent in poetry. Although it is not difficult to compose poetry, he does not have the agility and vitality that comes easily.
Although poetry, prose and essays are in the first exam, they also need to be taken seriously.
Yu Yu knelt and sat in the plain white, grinding ink. There were candidates beside him trying to smear something on the white paper beside him, but he didn't move at all. He looked at the question calmly, frowning. As if thinking about something.
There are more than a thousand candidates, and the open-air seating area is really spacious to accommodate so many. However, with such a crowding distance, you can clearly see every movement of each other. Some candidates with keen nerves are extremely easy to be influenced by others. A little distraction will ruin the writing marks.
Fortunately, I was working on a draft, and my mind froze, and I hurriedly restrained my thoughts and didn't dare to be distracted to look at others.
Roughly speaking, it is just a simple exam, but there is also a competition of will.
After Yu Yu grinded out a tank full of ink, he slowly raised his pen to dip it in the ink, and grasping the inspiration just now, he began to draw with his eyes down.After a while, like an endless flow of ink, it flowed into poems that were not yet dry.
The first few sentences have just been written, and the last few sentences are slowly revealed.
"...
The wind turns slowly, and the sky is far away and the water is bright.
Ascend to the dust and worry about the breath, and watch the Tao with a clear heart.
It's even more like Qiao Qiao, dancing out of the valley warbler. "①
Right now, he is in a peaceful state of mind, as if he could really see the waves rippling on the lake in spring, the gentle breeze blowing across the river and blowing away the mist, and the vegetation beside the water bank is thriving. Seeing the agile birds fly out of the nest, it seems to welcome the buds of the new year with joy.
It took Yu Yu a lot of time to think, but the writing was done in one go.
He only re-read the title and verse, and after confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, he exchanged the test paper with the previous one, and re-read the title of the poem.Yu Yu's cognition on the journey of Fu began with the teaching of Zhishi after entering Chongxianguan.In the reform of the imperial examination system in the past few years, fu is regarded as a new improvement, which is integrated into essays and tested together with poems.
Fu prose is the same as poetry, and it also has rhythm and rhyme to follow, and has the characteristics of both poetry and prose.
The topic of today's Fu test has been set as "Fu of the Five Colors of the Day", and the rhyme is stipulated to be "beautiful day and nine flowers, holy Fu Tude".
Yu Yu thought about it carefully, and the "five colors" in the title should refer to the five colors of green, black, black, white and yellow in "Yi Zhuan", which symbolize the halo of the sun.The sun often refers to the monarch, and it is precisely "when the sage king is above, the sun is bright and the five colors are ready." The "five colors of the sun" are just in line with the gorgeous colors of the limited rhyme "Jiuhua". This is a tribute to the saint.
After confirming the connotation of the topic, Yu Yu needs to start solving the topic.This fu is similar to Ce's problem-solving, no wonder it needs an entry point, once the problem is solved correctly, this fu has already stabilized five points, and the remaining half depends on the rest of the rhyming couplets.
Yu Yu thinks that the key to solving the problem lies in the "five colors" in the title. First explain what the "five colors" are, and then bring out the virtues of the sages, fasten the title and then extend the latter, so that the Fu will not be afraid to deviate from the title.
If Yu Yu was asked to compose a Fu on the spot to praise the holy virtues, he must be very difficult and difficult to write, after all, this is not in line with his nature.But if you disassemble it and think about it only as a topic, this chapter is for answering the questions. This kind of thinking is like a fountain, and it is difficult to stop.
Yu Yu thought about it again and again, wrote and broke the title, and said: "Virtue moves the sky, and auspiciousness opens the sun." ②First, he used the eight characters to describe the five colors of the sun as auspicious, which brought out that this is the incarnation of the gentleman's sense of virtue.Breaking through the topic elevates the height of the Fu's conception, and at the same time implicitly summarizes the gist of the following article.
The first four sentences of the rhyme start grandly, and then cut into it solemnly, and then the Yuyu sentences are closely linked to Ruijing Dehui, and the succession and transformation are naturally carried over.As he was writing, he remembered that Du Zhenglun once specifically pointed out the sentence ends in the Fu, not only the importance of linking the previous sentence with the next, but also a little bit of cutting in the writing, so as to avoid the meaning of the sentence from being mellow enough and making side mistakes.
...
In the Xiande Hall, the crown prince rested his fingers on his cheeks and sat on the high platform. Although his eyes fell on the ministers who were talking below him, he seemed a little absent-minded.
Fang Xuanling stopped talking, chuckled and said, "If Your Highness is not feeling well, it's better to take more rest."
Under His Majesty's call, those important court officials who have become the crown prince's assistant ministers need someone to go to the East Palace to teach the crown prince every day. It just so happened that it was Fang Xuanling's turn today.God is pitiful, although what he said just now sounded a bit mocking, but he was really concerned about the prince's body.
Or because of the winter, His Highness the Crown Prince's old problems relapsed, and few foreign ministers could see the Crown Prince casually throughout the twelfth lunar month.
The prince smiled lightly and said: "Teacher, don't worry, the medical officers in the palace are still doing good work." He covered his mouth like a joke, his gentle and calm appearance made Fang Xuan feel sick even though he was a little sick. Ling had no choice but to nod secretly.Although he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be as refined and gentle as his appearance, and even had his fangs hidden, but his ability to cover up easily surpassed many people, and even Fang Xuanling was occasionally confused.
He changed the subject naturally, and casually mentioned today's events, "...today's imperial examination may end earlier than before."
The prince looked at Fang Xuanling with interest, "Why did the teacher say that?"
Fang Xuanling said: "In the past, after the end of each exam, if you failed the first exam, you lost the qualification for the second exam. However, after the reform of the imperial examination system this year, this rule has been abolished. It should be done after three exams. Judging them together will cause some trouble later on.”
"So that's what the teacher said." The prince laughed softly, "Since the papers and lists have been abolished, isn't this just a rule of immediate dismissal? It should be abolished." Fang Xuanling knew what the prince meant.
Part of the reason for the appearance of the row papers and the row list at the very beginning was the rule that the examinee would be dismissed immediately, which made the examinee have to show his previous level outside the exam, and then the examiner would make corrections later. If you have a reference, you will have a better chance of winning.
Since the latter was born out of the former, doesn't it mean that there are some loopholes in the rules of the former?
That should be completed.
Fang Xuanling did not refute this question in depth, and said lightly: "However, there are a lot of people taking the exam this year. If you don't dismiss after three rounds, the candidates will always be a little nervous at the end of the writing."
...
The South Campus of the Ministry of Rites.
Although the hallway was full of people, the different areas were divided into distinct areas. After all, although there were thousands of people, there were still candidates who had applied for different exams and sat in different places. Their questions were different, but Most of the frowning looks lead to the same goal.
When Yu Yu stopped writing, it was not too far before the time for handing in the paper. He carefully checked the essay paper for errors and omissions, and then handed in the paper fifteen minutes later amidst the sound of drums.Those test papers will be sent to a special place to be smeared one by one, and then copied, and finally sent to the examiners who correct the test papers.
Yu Yu took a few sips of herbal tea while collecting papers, and then ate a little soft cake to cushion his stomach, and then while wiping his hands, Na Xuling began to distribute the papers for the second exam.
The second scene is posting scriptures.
In this test, the examiner will randomly cut out a sentence from the scriptures, and then cover up the three random characters, and ask the candidates to write the covered words, so it is called the scriptures.
However, this exam is not important to the candidates of Jinshi.Although there are inspections, it is not as strict as Mingjing Ke, and even puts questions on the quatrains of the scriptures regardless of the meaning of the scriptures, just to increase the difficulty of the exam... After all, familiarizing with the scriptures and distinguishing the chapters and sentences is the Mingjing Ke The top priority of Jinshi, while the assessment of Jinshi is more diverse.
Yu Yu had read and recited all kinds of scriptures, big, medium and small, even though he didn't deliberately recite the scriptures in the extreme sect, but as Yu Yu guessed, the questions given by Jinshi were impartial and not considered It's simple, but usually if you study the classics seriously, you won't even fail to answer a few passing questions.
The exam didn't take long, and when Yu Yu checked it for the tenth time with some boredom, the sound of the bang drum finally sounded, and then the guard Xu Ling appeared again.
This time the rest time was a bit longer, and it was already in the afternoon. After taking two exams in the morning and at noon, some weak candidates could no longer sit still.After all, there was still snow in the past two days. Although today is still sunny, people with a little common sense know that the days when the snow melts are called cold and cloudy.
Although the porch has been swept and swept long ago, they sat on the seats for a long time and couldn't get up. Their stiff fingers could hardly stretch the brush after holding it for a long time, and their noses were red from the cold.
"Buddha bless..."
The candidate behind Yu Yu's prayer became louder, and he seemed to be able to hear how the candidate promised to pay back if he passed the exam.Even the Buddhists are no better than visiting the door in person, just praying all the time, this is undoubtedly a white wolf with empty hands, purely wanting to eat stuffed pie before giving money.
In the past two years, candidates were even able to discuss the test questions in a low voice and exchange ideas with each other, just like now when Yu Yu is drinking water to moisten his throat, the elderly man in the front left is rubbing his knees with his teeth grinning, whispering about the nostalgia for the lively past scene.
Obviously it should be strict, but it seems too child's play.Yu Yu thought about the picture scroll for a while, then shook his head helplessly, thanking you for not being sensitive.
