"Spring Examination" is also called the Spring Examination. Nine days, the 9th day of the second month of the lunar month, the 12th day of the 15th day of the lunar calendar. The examination is hosted by the Ministry of Rites, so it is also called the Liying Examination. The examination location is in the Ministry of Rites. The content of the examination in these three days is different, and the subjects taken in each exam are also different. Therefore, in the previous imperial examination, some subjects could not be applied for at the same time because no one could appear in two exam rooms at the same time, but this had no impact on the final competition for the top scorer, because compared with the Ming Jing and Jinshi, other subjects were first-class. If you don't apply for these two subjects, you would not have the chance to be the top scorer.

Since the system of the imperial examination this year was slightly changed and there were also subjects for the examination, the rules of the examination also changed. On the 9th, all the subjects were subjects for minor subjects. On the 12th, the subjects were subjects for Mingjing in the morning, the afternoon was Jinshi, and on the fifteenth, the palace examination was also added to the students who entered the palace examination, and one more exam was given as the subject.

In other words, the system has been changed again. If Changke does not have the opportunity to enter the palace examination, the system will not even have the chance to take the exam. The students think it is too cruel, but the system is an accomplimentary subject, so it is normal for a higher selection level. And the exam is about to be taken, and those who want to achieve results have no time to protest.

A few days passed by, February 9th, the day of the imperial examination for the small subjects. Today is really optional for those who are determined to compete for the top scorer. Because this year's imperial examination, the top scorer only looks at the Mingjing and Jinshi. Even if these small subjects are not taken, they can still be the top scorer in the end. Taking these small subjects will not help the top scorer, but instead distracting the energy, so many people choose not to take the exam.

But Li Mu came to take the exam. Among the more than ten small subjects, he chose to apply for three subjects. Because a student could only take the exam for three subjects on the same day, he wanted to apply for ten subjects, but the Ministry of Rites did not allow it, so he had to take a step back.

The three small subjects he registered for were Mingfa, Mingsuan and Ming. Mingfa, and Mingsuan, as the name suggests, Mingsuan is a subject that specializes in calligraphy. Whoever has a beautiful character can get the first place.

Li Mu's calligraphy is from Ouyang Xun. Today, in the art of calligraphy, only two people are recommended, Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun. It is recognized that the calligraphy of these two people is the best, so those who study calligraphy are basically these two schools.

Li Mu is from the Ou style, but if he writes the Ou style, it will definitely not work. Everyone knows his fonts. Those who mark the papers are officials of the Ministry of Rites. When grading the papers, it is very simple. They can directly select all the Ou style characters and evaluate them in order to solve them. Although they are small subjects, if they do not get the first place, it will have a great impact on his reputation. Similarly, this method can also be applied in the Mingjing and Jinshi departments, and they will not know if they suffer secret losses.

In order to avoid this problem, Li Mu mobilized all the forces and connections that could be mobilized in the past few days, and collected a lot of "famous calligraphy and paintings", including the inscriptions and calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and his son, and the handwriting of many famous scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Li Mu performed a simulation ** and had learned the handwriting of several calligraphers, including the handwriting of Wang Xizhi's son and Wang Xianzhi. Originally, his target was Wang Xizhi, but Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was rare in the world, and relatively speaking, he was more precious and had no market value. In just a few days, he really couldn't get ten paintings.

In the eyes of experts, Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy attainments are not inferior to his father. He is just a little bit like "Lanting Preface", but his "Mid-Autumn Post" and other works are also praised by the world.

Li Mu collected eleven calligraphy works by Wang Xianzhi, and finally got enough conditions. This time he participated in the Ming Dynasty subject, so he responded with Wang Xianzhi's handwriting. As for Ming methods and Mingshu, with his ability to remember everything and the blessing of the four algorithms, each subject was handed in half an hour, and he was at ease and did not feel the difficulty at all.

On the 11th, the day before the Ming Jing and Jinshi exams, the test results of Xiaoke were announced. Li Mu was ranked in the third list, without any surprises, all of them were the top. Since Xiaoke did not participate in the selection of the top scorer, Xiaoke's first title was not called the top scorer, but called the "campus leader". Li Mu applied for three subjects and won the three case heads. It is the only one among all candidates participating in the small subject, not just this one. All candidates did not register for three exams, at most two. After all, not everyone can hand in the paper in half an hour. Many people can spend their whole life and can't get to the top scorer even if they work hard for one subject. Moreover, there are three subjects. Applying for two subjects is considered to be overestimating their abilities. Officials of the Ministry of Rites will scold him, but no one dares to scold him.

As soon as this result was released, the people of the Ministry of Rites suddenly felt that the clouds were covered with dark clouds. In order to suppress Li Mu's spirit, the difficulty of this year's small subjects has increased a lot. Some questions, even these officials of the Ministry of Rites, could not answer them personally, but Li Mu won three subjects easily, and they all took half an hour to complete them. If he was allowed to apply for ten subjects, he might be able to finish ten subjects in one day. What a great irony.

Many officials of the Ministry of Rites even felt glad that they were fortunate that Li Mu did not apply for ten subjects. If that were the case, the Ministry of Rites would close the door directly and he would still know what kind of tribute was awarded.

The next day, February 12th, the highlight came. In the morning, the students who were lucky enough to buy the "Kongfu Secret Scroll" in Mingjing. They recited it for many days and waited for today. When they got the questions with a nervous mood, they wanted to kowtow to Li Mu directly in the direction of Xiaoyao Valley. All the titles of the posts were all in the predictions of the "Kongfu Secret Scroll", and none of them were missing. This greatly increased everyone's confidence in the oral examination. When the oral examination was in the oral examination, there were ten major points and no one was out of the predictions. Most of the students were already overjoyed at this time.

If you do well in the Ming Jing exam, even if you are destroyed, you will be qualified to open a school and accept disciples when you return to your hometown. At least you will not have to worry about food and drink in your life. Many people come to participate in the imperial examinations and do not have such a big ambitions, not to be an official, but to have a meal.

Moreover, the better the exam, the better the treatment. If you can become a military governor, a royal mansion, or a teacher in such a high-level mansion, the treatment will be a step further, and it will be more comfortable than ordinary county magistrates.

Current affairs are obviously much more difficult. But this thing is unpredictable, and no wonder the "Kongfu Secret Papers". This year's current affairs are not unexpected. The tests are "Interior Affairs Office", "Border Market" and "Tax Measures", which are all things that have happened recently. Students are familiar with them in Chang'an and have their own opinions. No matter whether they say it right or not, they all say that none of them hand in the blank paper.

But what makes people angry is that Li Mu is the first to hand in the paper. If the oral examination had not been delayed for a little time, he would have even completed it in half.
