Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 23 The scholars were all confused. You want me to identify three baskets of rice? ?

The scholars stared at the three baskets of rice, dumbfounded.

What do you want to do by bringing up the rice? Aren't they taking the palace examination?

Shouldn't they be testing eight-part essays and the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics?

Before they came to take the palace examination, they reviewed the Four Books and Five Classics and the previous palace examinations.

But no palace examination has ever been tested like this.

This is a weird feeling.

This familiar feeling...

The scholars felt something was wrong.

Liu Bowen stared at the three baskets of rice, thinking.

Li Shanchang had no expression on his face.

What is this kid doing?

The palace examination is so solemn.

He actually brought three baskets of rice.

It's just nonsense!

Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, and others also thought Ye Xuan was making a fuss.

They had never heard of the imperial examination taking rice for the palace examination.

They wanted to see what Ye Xuan was up to.

Above. Zhu Yuanzhang leaned forward slightly, looked down, and confirmed that the three baskets contained rice.

He looked at the rice from a distance, curious.

What did Ye Xuan want to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang had listened to Ye Xuan's teachings to Zhu Biao before.

He knew that with Ye Xuan's talent, the questions for the palace examination must be unusual. He thought that Ye Xuan would come up with something like "The Lady's Yang Desire".

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan would do this to him.

Curious, Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly:

"Doctor Ye, what are you up to? You are not going to use these three baskets of rice to test these scholars?"

He had a teasing smile on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought at this time that Ye Xuan wanted these scholars to write eight-part essays on the topic of rice.

He was completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

The scholars listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's ridicule and their faces suddenly changed.

Here it comes.

This familiar feeling.

The way they looked at Ye Xuan became strange.

This guy.

Why did he give them such a familiar weird feeling?

Their intuition told them that Ye Xuan was not right!

And he wrote an eight-part essay with rice?

The scholars frowned.

They began to think hard.

Is there any record of rice in the Four Books and Five Classics?

After thinking hard, they really came up with some content.

There is content about rice in the "Book of Songs".

"Bin Feng·July": Peel dates in August, and harvest rice in October.

"Xiao Ya·Fu Tian": You ask for thousands of warehouses, you ask for tens of thousands of boxes, millet, sorghum, and rice.

"Xiao Ya·Bai Hua": The north flow of the pond floods the rice fields.

Rice is one of the five grains.

The five grains are millet, rice, beans, millet, and rice.

Now Ye Xuan took the rice, so is he trying to refer to the five grains? There are many records and descriptions of the five grains in the "Book of Songs".

If you want to use food to express the difficulties of the people.

Among them, the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi also told about it in his poem "Watching the Wheat Harvest".

"There is also a poor woman, holding her child beside her, holding the remaining ears of rice in her right hand and hanging a shabby basket on her left arm."

"I don't feel the heat when I am exhausted, but I regret that the summer is long."

"The family fields have paid taxes, so I picked this to fill my stomach."

"Listening to their words, those who hear them are sad."

Then Bai Juyi sighed.

He was an official, and he didn't have to do farming. His salary was 300 stones, and he had surplus food at the end of the year, but the farmers who worked hard in farming had to pick up the remaining ears of rice to fill their stomachs.

The scholars stared at the three baskets of rice, and their minds were brewing a storm.

They thought frantically about the poems and poems about rice and grains, and began to prepare drafts and write eight-part essays.

"Although this question is difficult, it can be solved."

The scholars thought to themselves.

They can stand out from the provincial examinations, the academy examinations, the joint examinations, and other examinations. They must have read the Four Books and Five Classics well and are the best among them, so they can go to the palace examination.

No matter how difficult the question is.

They also have to find a way to solve the problem.

"Your Majesty, you are right. The test question I set is three baskets of rice, and what the candidates have to do is to identify these rice and give their own answers."

Ye Xuan replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard.

"Sure enough, it's just as we expected..."

His voice was stuck and his brows were slightly frowned.

He realized that something was wrong.

"Mr. Ye, didn't you ask the scholars to compose eight-legged essays?"

Ye Xuan was confused.

"When did I tell them to write eight-legged essays?"

Baiguan: .......

Scholars:.......

Zhu Yuanzhang: ........

All right.

I really didn't say that.

However, let these scholars give the answer by looking at the rice grains?

A pile of rice, what’s so interesting about it?

Could it be possible that the flowers can still be seen?

Everyone is puzzled.

Staring at the three baskets of rice blankly.

Li Shanchang was also puzzled.

What the hell is this kid doing?

Although he also saw the problem with the three baskets of rice, he didn't understand what Ye Xuan wanted to do.

This is unknown.

It made him slightly uneasy.

Li Shanchang always felt that Ye Xuan was not a peaceful master.

Liu Bowen stared at the three baskets of rice, his expression became solemn.

His intuition told him.

Someone's head is at risk.

Gentlemen, you look at me, and I look at you.

How to answer?

Ye Xuan reminded, "You can touch the rice with your hands, and you can also smell the rice."

Scholars:......

Their faces twitched.

What’s so interesting about these three baskets of broken rice?

At this moment, all the scholars felt that the sense of familiarity was getting stronger and stronger.

This is a strange question.

This is a weird question.

Isn't it similar to the test questions in the general examination?

They had always wondered what magical creature came up with the two weird questions in the general examination, and today they encountered weird questions again in the palace examination.

confirmed.

Two weird questions in the general examination and this question in the imperial examination.

It's from the same person!

The scholars looked at Ye Xuan secretly.

There are thousands of words in their mouths, but they are extremely fucked up in their hearts.

Ta meow.

why is it you again!

Just try it out.

You didn't let us go even in the imperial examination.

We have no grudges, right?

The scholars wanted to cry but had no tears.

They all wanted to kneel down to Ye Xuan on the spot and ask Ye Xuan to change the question.

Most of this group of scholars were pampered, not engaged in farming, and kept their fingers clear of spring water. It was undoubtedly more difficult for them to identify the rice than to kill them.

Some scholars wearing poor clothes stepped forward with serious faces, grabbed the rice, and carefully identified it.

They looked at the three types of rice one by one.

Seeing this, other scholars could only step forward to identify it.

However, how do they know the quality of these rice grains?

To them, the three types of rice are almost identical.

no difference.

They really couldn't figure out why Ye Xuan asked such weird test questions.

Identify the rice?

What’s easy to identify about rice?

In the future, they will serve as officials in the court, and they will be officials, not common people, and they will not need to identify rice.

In their view, Ye Xuan's questions were bizarre and useless.

Most of the scholars stared at the rice fields with sad faces.

Difficulty writing.

Scratching my head and ears.

Some poor scholars smelled the rice and then touched the rice, with a look of surprise on their faces.

They picked up pen and paper.

The writing is like flying.

These three kinds of rice were quickly written on the paper.

A basket full of rice.

A basket of rice is moldy.

A basket of rice shriveled.
