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

Chapter 5: The trial is over, angry Zhu Yuanzhang

Nine days and six nights.

The imperial examination is over.

"Crunch——!"

The gate of Gongyuan opened and the candidates filed out.

Everyone's faces were ugly.

"Damn it, who asked this year's exam questions? They are weird and difficult. I have never seen anything like this in my review of ancient and modern imperial examination articles."

"You think so too?"

"you also?"

"Brother!"

"Uuuuuuuuuah, you don't know that I was tortured by those weird test questions and couldn't sleep for several nights. When I closed my eyes, I just looked at those test questions, about 'Mrs. Jun's sexual desire', and about being a human and bird, King Wen."

"I can't answer any of them."

"Hey, the test questions are getting more difficult and weird every time."

"I've been taking exams for decades, and I've never seen such a weird question. It's unprecedented. It's not something we can answer."

Zhang You followed the candidates and listened to them cursing or complaining, and his heart suddenly felt balanced.

It turns out that it’s not just me who doesn’t know how to do it.

No one knows how to do it.

That's good.

"Brother Zhang, how's your answer?"

When fellow villagers saw Zhang You, they enthusiastically came up to ask.

"The first question was okay, but the second question and the following questions were a bit confusing to me and I didn't know where they came from."

Zhang You replied.

"Huh?"

"No way?"

"Brother Zhang, you can actually answer such perverted questions? I can't answer any of them."

"What does the first question mean?"

asked the fellow countryman.

Zhang You informed his understanding.

The fellow villagers were stunned.

"It turns out that these two sentences are fragments of poetry in different sentences. No wonder I have read a lot of books, but I have never seen such poetry. It made me think about it for a long time."

"Brother Zhang, you are so powerful, you can't even solve the second question?"

Zhang You smiled bitterly.

"Mrs. Jun's sexual desire...I really can't solve such an unorthodox question. Who asked this question? It's so weird and unorthodox."

"Wait, Mrs. Jun, Mrs. Jun..."

"Crimson desire..."

"Yang goods......"

“Isn’t this the content of the poem in The Analects of Confucius!”

Zhang You clenched his fist and punched the palm of his other hand, and said suddenly.

The fellow countrymen listened to Zhang You's encrypted sentences in confusion.

"What is Brother Zhang talking about?"

Zhang You excitedly grabbed his fellow countryman's arm and said:

"In the Analects of Confucius, doesn't it say that when a king's wife is married, he calls her his wife? When a man wants to see Confucius, Confucius doesn't see him? The second question is the same as the first question, it's a tangential question!!"

The fellow countryman nodded suddenly, "I see, but these two sentences are combined. What does the examiner want to express?"

Zhang You told his opinion.

According to the Jishi chapter in the Analects of Confucius, we can see the titles of people.

If she is the wife of the king of a big country, she will be honored by other countries.

If the country is weak.

The monarch's wife will not be honored.

It also talks about the need to be self-effacing.

And Yang Huo wants to see Confucius also talks about the Ji family.

The main story is that Yang Huo wanted to invite Confucius to be an official and work together. Yang Huo was a powerful member of the Ji family's retainers. Confucius did not want to be an official and did not want to offend him, so he avoided Yang Huo several times.

In the end, Yang Huo met him on the road and invited him to become an official.

Confucius could only agree.

This allusion shows that Confucius responded to Lingren's strong attitude with humility.

If a person is faced with a tyrannical and unreasonable person in daily life, humility can avoid disaster.

These two allusions have something in common. They both express that if the other party is strong, you can show weakness to avoid disaster, and you also need to be humble.

Zhang You told all his opinions.

The fellow villagers were stunned.

"I see. I thought the examiner was not serious. It turns out that I misunderstood the examiner."

Ordinary candidates were cursing, but those who knew the test questions in advance were even more sad.

They were depressed.

Why are the test questions different from the ones they got in advance?

They dare not say that the test questions have been changed.

I can only leave depressed.

Li Zhong left the examination room with a sad face.

Go straight back home.

"how?"

"Did the imperial examination go well?"

"It will definitely go well. We bought the test questions in advance. How could Zhong'er not go well?"

"You say so, Zhong'er."

Li Zhong's parents came forward and talked nonstop.

Li Zhong's father is confident.

"My Zhong'er is a celestial being, so these test questions are definitely not a problem, not to mention we have already obtained the test questions in advance..."

Li Zhong exploded.

"That test question is totally wrong!"

"The test questions we got in advance are completely different from the test questions in Gongyuan!"

"It's okay if one question is different, they are all different!!"

"This meeting is over, completely over!"

"I have to wait another three years!"

"How many three years do I have? Where did you get the test questions from? They are not accurate at all! It makes me waste time and energy, and makes me have to wait another three years!"

Li Zhong's parents were dumbfounded.

It shouldn't be.

They spent a lot of money to buy it. The man swore that the test questions would be 100% correct. How could there be any mistakes?

Gongyuan.

Liu Sanwu, Ye Xuan and others watched the candidates leaving one after another and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The attempt will end with a near miss."

"It's safe and sound, everything is great."

"The candidates didn't notice anything unusual."

"Those candidates who knew the test questions in advance did not dare to say anything even if they knew that the test questions had been changed. Maybe they thought they had received fake test questions."

"But who leaked the test questions?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Leaking exam questions is a capital offense.

Maybe it was just confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Who is it that did such a stupid thing that almost caused them to sit down together?

"No matter what, we successfully survived this disaster."

Liu Sanwu said.

"Yes, in this case, our crime is to change the test questions without permission."

The examiners said.

Ye Xuan secretly sweated while listening to their conversation.

The mud horse had just crossed over, and it was at the critical moment of life and death.

It's really not easy for him to be a time traveler.

However, for now, we still have to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.

Zhu Yuanzhang was greedy and greedy.

Although they passed the examination with no risk, the guilt of changing the test questions may be large or small.

Especially the leakage of test questions is a serious problem.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is in a bad mood, the heads from their necks will fall off.

"Collect the exam papers."

"I will report to Your Majesty the School Disciple regarding the test."

"As for how Your Majesty handles this, we can only leave it to God's will."

Liu Sanwu asked the other examiners to collect the test papers, while he reported to School Disciple Zhu Yuanzhang that the test questions were leaked and the test questions were changed on the spot.

The imperial palace has yellow glazed tiles, double eaves on the verandah roof, and is located on the white marble steps. There are ridged animals on the eaves corners, decorated with golden dragons and seal paintings, and three interlaced bowls of water chestnuts separated by the doors and windows. It looks beautiful and exquisite.

In the main hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting on a golden nanmu dragon chair, wearing a bright yellow robe, full of majesty, and he is teaching Zhu Biao at this time.

"At the beginning of the empire's success, God will grant rewards to those who are virtuous..."

"His Majesty."

The eunuch hurriedly came to report.

When he heard that the test questions were leaked and the test questions were changed on the spot, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

"Under our noses, right here in the capital, we dare to do such a thing. Are we not punishing corrupt officials hard enough, or are they too courageous?!"

"This is unreasonable, these people are simply audacious!"
