Chapter 207 The annual exam begins!

Nowadays, officials are not as diligent as before. The transfer examination has not been implemented for many years. The Grandmaster is just sitting in Wuhu and the top students elected by various prefectures and counties in Chi Taidao, Huining. However, after the former supervisor of Nanzhili and the famous Geng Dingxiang personally went to Huizhou, the Grandmaster Xie Tingjie has visited Huizhou for the third time in a short period of time.

Therefore, the order of the great master was strictly implemented, but despite this, Huizhou was mountainous. Although the government office urgently sent servants to various county schools to deliver letters and notified the students to come up to take the annual examination as soon as possible, it would have been two days later when more than a thousand students gathered in the provincial capital. During this period, civil servants were requisitioned to temporarily build examination sheds, and the servants in the government and county offices were called to patrol and maintain order, and temporarily arrange residences. Not to mention Ye Junyao, even the prefect of Huizhou Duan Chaozong was busy. Fortunately, Xie Tingjie ordered that the examination sheds would not need to be added, and the workload was much less.

Although there are only more than a thousand people, no one wants a tragedy like Jiangxi to happen again. It not only concerns human life, but also its own future!

On the day of the exam, the weather was still beautiful, and it was a sunny day with a clear and cool autumn. According to Xie Tingjie's requirements, the students from the six counties were divided into two groups, one was taken at the imperial examination and the other was taken at the She County Academy. All the open spaces in these two palaces have now risen from the ground and built a bunch of examination sheds. Although they were just simple wooden houses, the intervals were much larger than those in the Gongyuan, which barely eliminated the risk of students whispering. As for the tables and chairs, they were even more simple than those in the Gongyuan. A wooden board on a brick was considered a table, and a bench was for the candidates to sit on.

At least when Wang Fulin saw the environment, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. He was still taking the exam at the She County Academy. Because Ye County Zun and Feng Shiye were both backers, he arranged a test room that was claimed to be the best, but it was still so simple. He even doubted whether his waist would break and his legs would be numb when he sat down for one day! However, after so many days of intensive training, he couldn't escape this year's exam, so he could only sit down.

In another examination room opposite him, Cheng Naixuan was sitting there bored, although he knew that Wang Fulin was behind him. However, the opening of the examination room was in one direction and he could not see anyone at all. He could only think about the "beautiful" memories of the county examination room and Wang Fulin next door.

After Xie Tingjie asked Duan Chaozong and Ye Junyao to discuss the matter of invigilating the examination separately, the reply was that Duan Chaozong personally visited the She County Academy, while Ye Junyao visited the Huizhou Prefecture School. Xie Tingjie was quite satisfied with such a avoidance arrangement. After receiving such a letter, he could be called a panic. After all, he, a powerful dragon, had only more than a dozen people in the transit, and after such a thing, he didn't even know who is reliable and who is not reliable. If the county magistrate was also in a gangster, even if he was isolated and helpless, he might not be able to pass this annual exam safely.

Because I had to take the exam for a whole day today, Xie Tingjie, the great master of learning, did not show up at this moment. The person who gave the exam questions on his behalf was Duan Chaozong, the prefect of Huizhou. When he was worshiping the master's tablet, he personally unpacked the exam bag with a seal and then took out a piece of paper from it. In a moment, four exam questions were spread throughout the examination room through the county school teacher Feng and two instructors.

"A gentleman is not famous because he is in a state of trouble." This is the title of the Four Books.

"If it is big, it is like power, and if it is small, it is like shame." This is the title of the Five Classics.

"Correction of oneself and study things." This is the theory.

"What are the character of Wu Qi, Fan Zhongyan, and Wang Anshi?" This is a question.

It can be said that when the test questions were conveyed, most of the people were stunned and rolled their faces. You should know that this is the annual exam, not the provincial exam. Each provincial exam is three days, a total of three and nine days. The number of questions is terrifying. The first three and four questions are questions, four questions of this sutra; the second one is one, five questions of the discussion, and there is also one question about the edicts, presentations, and edicts; the third one is five questions in total. But these twenty questions are nine days of questions. Now you have to do such four major questions in one day, which is simply terrible! With a face full of ashes, Wang Fulin immediately rolled up his sleeves and began to write quickly, and he couldn't help but think of Mr. Fang's special training.

You should know that the perverted Mr. Fang directly took the test for three days to take the test for the provincial examination, and forced them to finish it in two days! It is said that the first day is the time when they are most energetic. If they can't finish most of the first day and finish half of the second day, there is basically no show of what they wrote on the third day. There were only two questions that were suspected to be in the test before, but now there are not only four questions in total, and the number of questions is terrifying, but the most important questions of the Four Books and Five Classics are also different. But he deliberately spread the two questions and told them at least fifty or sixty people. In the end, the scope of knowledge will definitely be larger. As soon as the test questions are released today, there are four questions like this. It would be strange if people are not stunned!

Don’t blame him for this ruthless move, he was forced to do it too!

Ye Junyao was transferred to the prefecture school to patrol the venue, and at this moment, Duan Chaozong was in charge of the academy. Because there were only more than 300 people, he was also calm when he was wandering around. When he came to Wang Fulin, he saw that Wang Xiaoren was brushing and walking around, which was incomparable to other people's old cow pulling a broken cart. He couldn't help but look at it for a while, and found that it was clear and meaningful, and he couldn't help but be quite satisfied. As for Cheng Naixuan, he only stayed for a short while. When he came to Wang Youmin, he saw that the hope star of Wang's family in Shuchuan was gloomy at this moment, and only wrote a few lines of an answer sheet.

Wang Youmin didn't have the heart to answer the questions, he was almost angry. He never expected that this was not the previous question! The question he gave Wang Fulin was fake, there was no doubt about it, but how could that guy sold his test questions to his own at the cost of 500 taels of silver? Although his uncle Wang Shangning has retired, there are still some friends in the officialdom. How dare he play such tricks? How dare he! Moreover, there are four questions, especially the first Four Books question, which is not difficult. If he can't finish answering within this day, even Wang Fulin can't finish answering, his hope of becoming famous by relying on this annual exam will be dashed!

The more I thought about it, the less clear Wang Youmin’s thinking became. The less clear his thinking, the slower his subordinates were. They didn’t even notice that Duan Chaozong, the prefect of Huizhou, was right in front of him.

Duan Chaozong looked at the few numbers and stood for a moment and left quietly. His style was different from his former prefect He Dongxu, the prefect of Huizhou. He Dongxu was extremely tough towards those rich people in the village, and another big case occurred during his term. Therefore, let alone entering the famous official temple, no one had any good impression of him in one prefecture and six counties in Huizhou. He even recorded his harshness in his notes. However, he mostly adhered to the four words of inaction and rule, turning a blind eye to everything.

But the case of Xia Shi Siwen once put him on fire. If it weren't for the fire removal from Wang Daokun's cauldron, he might have been overwhelmed by Xia Shi! Even if it were just because of this incident, Duan Chaozong's bias towards the Wang family of Songmingshan and Wang family of Shuchuan was naturally undoubtedly. He even considered whether he would learn from He Dongxu, so that those self-relied villagers would know what the authority of the court was!

In the Huizhou Prefecture School examination room, Xie Tingjie, who deliberately left the two prison students and entourage by his side, was observing the expressions of the people carefully. He keenly noticed that several of them were not very natural. He remembered this scene in his heart, but there was no clue on his face, but when he left the venue in the afternoon to go to the She County Academy Palace, he summoned the She County Magistrate Ye Junyao.

"Benxian immediately inspected the Shexian Academy, and all of them were handed over to Ye County Magistrate. No one from the following entourages around Benxian was allowed to leave the scene to avoid fraud or other things. The sedan chairmen and entourage who followed Benxian to the Shexian Academy were drawn from the officers of the prefectures and counties."

When he heard that Xie Tingjie had gone to the She County Academy by himself, and he did not take any of them. The supervisor Xiong Han and a large number of followers suddenly changed their faces. Since Ye Junyao followed Wang Fulin's advice and volunteered to exchange positions with Duan Chaozong to avoid suspicion, of course he didn't say anything at this moment. He patted his chest and expressed his determination to maintain order here, and sent the Grand Master Tixue away with a smile on his face.

When Xie Tingjie left and stood in the Zhixin Hall of the Mansion, Ye Dapao glanced at Xie Tingjie's followers with a bad face and suddenly coughed dryly.

"The great master's intention to prevent problems from escalating, and I am really impressed by the great master! Let's do this, when patrolling the field next time, please follow the county so that those candidates can understand the great master's public intention."

Although Xie Tingjie listed the two questions listed in the letter He Xinyin before, he could tell at a glance that they did not come up with him, the letter solemnly pointed out that these two questions are now circulating everywhere, regardless of whether they are true or not, many places are talking about the great master's thunder and rain. It was just an attitude to come to Huizhou in person, but the questions were broad and simple. When he thought that he had only asked two questions before, Xie Tingjie stayed up late last night to read the book and racked his brains. Today, he threw out four completely different test questions from the beginning.

He is not afraid of others saying he is strict, it is better than being said that someone misses the question!

He came to Shexian Academy with anger. Xie Tingjie immediately started to check the exam one by one. In the open, he was looking at the candidates' answers, but in the secret, he was looking at the handwriting. Even if he knew that even if the fake letter was the plan of one of these students, it might not be written by himself, but he could not help but feel a little lucky. However, he just walked around for a long time. When passing by a exam, he glanced at the young student who was writing hard, and his eyes immediately became clear.

There are such a brave person!
