A few days later, the Tang Kingdom finally ushered in the spring examination.

The cold wind blew across the Southern Tang Gongyuan at the beginning of spring. At the door, it was just dawn, and a large number of scholars had gathered. They brought dry food, kettles, draft paper, pens and ink, etc. outside the Gongyuan by the Qinhuai River, waiting for it.

There are many ships on the Qinhuai River, where rich children or buses come by, while poor scholars and students come by hiking.

Su Chen came by carriage and accompanied him, including Peng Qingqing, Yang Ling'er and Zhou Jiamin. Princess Yongning also wanted to come here to join in the fun, but because of her sensitive identity, it was difficult to come.

Otherwise, if the news of walking afterwards will cause trouble to Su Chen, some people who are jealous will say that the princess will come to give Su Chen the exam questions, then it will be difficult to argue.

"Squeak!"

The gate of the Gongyuan opened, and the candidates who had been looking forward to it had entered directly.

"Hurry up!"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, let it go!"

Many candidates plan to find their own examination room and seats as soon as possible so as to grind the exam and prepare for the exam in this way.

Su Chen was not anxious, looked at the three women in the carriage, and smiled and said, "I've entered the examination room of the tribute school."

"Brother Su Chen, you will definitely pass the exam."

"Brother Chen, the title of the Golden List!"

The three girls cheered Su Chen and said something good.

Su Chen smiled slightly, got out of the car, looked at the plaque of the Gongyuan, and felt a little nervous.

The party disputes in the court are getting more and more intense, and officials from several factions are staring at him, waiting for him to make a splash in this spring exam, and they are so amazing that they have written famous works.

During the autumn examinations of various states last year, Su Chen's song "Yueyang Tower Notes" was already famous in Jiangnan. It has been circulated in the Song Dynasty, Yue Kingdom, Northern Han Dynasty, Northwest Vaticans, Southern Han Dynasty, Dali and other countries.

Compared with Su Chen's "The Notes of Yueyang Tower" with Zhuge Liang's "The Memorial of the Front", Sima Qian's "The Banquet of Hongmen", Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection", Tao Yuanming's "The Record of Peach Blossom Spring" and Liu Yuxi's "The Inscription of the Humble Room", they are called the seven major prose.

The talent and reputation of Su Lang in Jiangzuo was no longer limited to Jiangnan, but was famous in all parts of the world.

With his martial arts novels, opera scripts, and long and short lyrics, Su Chen has become a star-level talented man in this era.

Where there are Chinese people, there are beginning to be his book lovers and word lovers.

So, this time, Su Chen participated in the spring exam, which attracted the attention of the whole world.

The dignitaries and nobles of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and even the royal family in the palace, were waiting to see what articles Su Chen would write about this time.

Some people look forward to his top scorer in high school, writing articles that have been passed down through the ages and adding color.

Some people also hope that he will miss his horse, perform abnormally, and the imperial examination will be implemented.

Some scholars in Jinling even had a sharp temper on their backs and wanted to compete with Su Lang in Jiangzuo.

"I don't know if Chen Junji, a talented man from Jinling Tai Academy, can win the top scorer in high school this time, and suppress Su Chen's limelight!"

"It's hard, but I heard that a few days ago, the song "Butterfly Love Flower" made by Hongzhou Jieyuan was famous in the capital. Maybe he is expected to win the top scorer."

"Xie Yuan, Cui Dongsheng of Xinzhou, is said to have written a top-notch and beautiful article. Even Lord Han Xizai has praised him. Perhaps he is expected to be in the top three and compete for the top scorer."

Many people watching the fun outside were talking about it, and they were also curious about the annual spring examination event and came to witness it with their own eyes.

I have to say that there were too few entertainment programs in ancient times, and many people were so tired at home that they all came to join in the fun.

Su Chen tightened the collar of his shirt to prevent the cold wind from entering his neck, and then walked leisurely to the court.

But soon, someone recognized him.

Gu Jing

"Look, that person is Sulang Jiangzuo!"

"Jiangzuo Sulang? Where is he?"

"Who is Suro Jiangzuo?"

"It's right there!" Someone pointed at Su Chen's figure.

"He is Sulang Jiangzuo, I am his martial arts fan--"

"I like Sulang Jiangzuo's poems--"

"I love his words!"

Many people rushed towards Su Chen's body. It seemed like crazy fans and idols. They finally saw the star they admired close up and rushed over to ask for autographs.

This enthusiasm scared Su Chen, and he quickly ran away and stopped taking steps calmly.

Because this group of people rushed over like crazy, they would definitely knock him down. At that time, they would be able to get a fracture and they would not be able to take the spring exam.

Besides, if someone inside is ill-intentioned, or hides an assassin and attacks him, he will be wrongly killed outside the tribute gate.

"Swoosh!"

After all, Su Chen had the ability to be in charge, as quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit, running away, and rushed directly into the gate of the Gongyuan.

Some candidates did not dodge in time and were knocked down by the crowds coming from behind, and suddenly became a mess.

"Don't crowd, don't make trouble!"

The guards of the Ministry of Rites who maintained order came over and dispersed the crowd, which prevented the chaos from shaking.

Su Chen had already entered the yard without any danger, found his examination room and seat, sat down, and started preparing.

After a moment, the imperial edict arrived and the spring gongs roared.

The annual Tang Guochun Examination Examination officially kicked off.

The official invigilator of the invigilator began to hand over the test papers one after another.

Su Chen took a deep breath, took the test paper, and kept praying in his heart that the questions must not be difficult, it is best to memorize articles with similar questions by himself.

When the test paper was spread out, he saw three questions on it.

The first thing is to write a seven-character ancient poem that describes a mountain.

This is not difficult, there are some Song poems that Su Chen remembers in his mind.

The second way is to write a long and short sentence, that is, a lyric, which requires that it is to see the scenery and be nostalgic and have lofty ambitions.

Su Chen thought about it and it seemed that this was not difficult. The more general the requirements were, the more he would not talk about specific restrictions, the better he would perform.

The third question is to write a rhyme prose and Chinese essay, which is no less than 500 words. The theme can be a travel notation or a chanting of aspirations.

After reading it, Su Chen felt very happy and even ecstatic. It was not just because he was a parallel prose, because his parallel prose was relatively old and he did not memorize much. Except for the first ancient parallel prose "Preface to the Pavilion of Tengwang", he was familiar with the rest of the parallel prose, but he memorized a few.

The parallel prose originated in the late Han Dynasty, formed and prevailed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan promoted the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty, parallel prose was defeated first; after Han and Liu passed away, the influence arose again. Li Shangyin, Wen Tingyun, and Duan Chengshi were all good at this, and the three of them ranked sixteenth, so they were called the "Thirty-Six Styles".

But these people were basically from before the Song Dynasty. Su Chen did not have the advantage of time difference. What he knew was that those candidates might not be familiar with them!

After entering the Song Dynasty, he was born under the leadership of Ouyang Xiu and others. The ancient prose movement set off a second climax, and prose was one after another, and parallel prose gradually declined. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was an upgraded variant of parallel prose, with more requirements, but purely test-oriented essays, there were no famous works worthy of praise.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. These three test questions were not very specific. It seems that Han Xizai played a role and influenced Li Yu's question setting. Such vague questions were more suitable for him to apply the Song poems and prose he memorized.
