Fairness is always relative.Prior to this, no matter how the candidates obtained the quota, whether it was fair or not, since they entered the Xuanwen Palace, Ren Zhen would create a relatively fair competitive environment and select relatively better students to work for the Northern Tang Dynasty.The criterion for judging the merits is a blank essay test paper to be filled in, placed on countless articles.In the spacious enough Xuanwen Hall, the distance between the copywriters is very even, and the grasp is accurate, which is just beyond the reach of the eye, so that candidates cannot peep at other people's answers.Looking from a high place, the copy is neat, and the volume is as white as snow, and this picture is very beautiful.If you look closely, you'll notice a subtle difference.Between the two rows of desks near the center, the corridor is significantly spaced, dividing the entire examination room into two areas, the left area is slightly smaller and the right area is larger.This was specially arranged by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.Not only that, but the test papers on the copywriting in the two districts are also completely different.Although the test is all Confucian classics, mainly based on the Four Books and Five Classics, compared with the test papers in the right area, the questions in the left area are obviously less difficult and focus more on basic knowledge.The reason for this arrangement is that this year we will reform the system of the imperial examination, implement the joint examination of civil and military affairs, and encourage the scholars of the world to cultivate both civil and military and develop in an all-round way.The simple assessment in the left area is for candidates who focus on taking the martial arts test.Only on the premise that the literary test meets the standard, the martial arts test result will be valid.Correspondingly, tomorrow's martial arts exam will also have a special assessment for candidates who take the liberal arts exam.The melodious bell rang, and thousands of candidates stood in several columns according to the order, rushed in, sat down in front of the copywriters in the left and right areas, and began to prepare for the exam.Ren Zhen walked through the central corridor and came to the top of the main hall, facing everyone in the examination room, and sat in the center.According to the rules of the literary examination in previous years, in fact, the examiner does not have to sit in person, but just walks through the scene, hangs the name of the teacher, and goes to the quiet room behind the hall to taste tea and recuperate.The specific invigilation work is, of course, handled by the subordinates.This arrangement is not just for leisure.The famous Confucians who can be the examiners are all cunning and cunning, and when they leave the examination room, they cheat and commit crimes, which is also for their subordinates to connive and shield.In case something happens, when they are held accountable in the future, they are not present, at most they are only guilty of lax crimes, which is insignificant.In Confucianism, the word "moderation" is the essence of officials.These old foxes are immersed in the muddy waters of officialdom, and they have long figured out how to wet their shoes easily.But Ren Zhen was different, ignoring the kind advice of his subordinates, insisting on sitting here and personally invigilating.He doesn't get his shoes wet, and he's not afraid of getting them wet.In this exam, all he had in mind was fairness, fairness, and fucking fairness.With his three eyes on the whole thing, he never leaves anyone room for cheating.He wants to ensure that the selection is fair and rush to the battlefield with a group of the best elite talents.Seeing his resolute attitude, those subordinates secretly complained, knowing that the promises they made after receiving bribes seemed to be unable to be fulfilled.The second bell rings, and the answering question begins.The candidates began to flip the papers, and the sound of rustling paper sounded, like a drizzle falling to the ground, like spring encroaching on mulberry.Other than that, there was no other sound in the hall, and the atmosphere was inexplicably solemn.Some people are smiling, confident, and the pen is a snake, obviously the answers are very smooth, and they are all knowledge points that have been studied before; Some people contemplated with their brows, and when they came up, they encountered problems, and their expressions were a little distressed; There are also people with beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads, and their hands holding pens are trembling, and they have not calmed down their tension by this time; The postures of the candidates are very different, just like the arhats in the Buddhist temple, each showing the appearance of all beings.In the silence, Ren Zhen stared at these candidates, and sighed in his heart, the world is unpredictable, and fate is always unpredictable.If you hadn't gone to Xiling, you wouldn't have met Dong Zhongshu; If you can't meet Dong Zhongshu, you can't be a little gentleman; If you can't be a little gentleman, you will sit opposite at this time, writing hard like everyone else, and you are still racking your brains to gain a foothold in the court.Different choices lead to different lives."
What would it be like if I were to take the exam?"
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his gaze fell on a corner of the examination room.There was a candidate named Ren Zhen, who was there to answer questions.His stand-in also came.Just when he was in a trance, something unexpected happened.A candidate stood up and walked over with a test paper.He was about to hand in the paper early, and this person made a noise, which alarmed all the candidates.Everyone looked up at him, their eyes full of astonishment.You must know that the exam has only started for a short time at this time, and most people have just finished reading the first question, and before they have time to answer, this person will quickly hand in the paper, obviously to give up the exam.In front of everyone, this person walked up to Ren Zhen and handed him a blank answer sheet.Ren Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up at the young man in front of him, a little surprised.Before he entered the examination room, he had already noticed this person.On the one hand, this person is tall and burly, but his clothes are very shabby, he wears straw sandals, and likes to squat on the ground.What's more important is that although this person did not deliberately bloom his cultivation, he faintly revealed a rough and strong aura, like a furnace burning silently, which made Ren Zhen unable to ignore his existence.Ren Zhen didn't expect that as soon as the essay test began, this person would make an abnormal move.Could it be that he is really a farmer, there is no ink in his chest Ren Zhen thought so, his eyes swept over the left side of the test paper, and he caught a glimpse of a crappy and unrecognizable name written on it."
Look at your seat, you should be here for the martial arts test.However, according to the rules of this court examination, if you abandon the martial arts examination, then even if you have excellent results in the martial arts examination, you will not be able to enter the palace examination.Therefore, you have to think clearly, whether you still want to give up the exam" Hearing Ren Zhen's advice, Makino couldn't help scratching his head, his thick and messy eyebrows furrowed, he did not hide his annoyance, and muttered with a bitter face: "Ah, when will the rules be changed, why do you say that you can change it" His accent was very strange, and he couldn't tell who it was, coupled with that simple voice and honest expression, it was inexplicably a little funny.Ren Zhen was speechless, and said in his heart, are you living in a paradise and isolated from the world As early as a month ago, after the empress adopted his advice, the imperial court issued a document to inform the states and counties of the Northern Tang Dynasty.The person who dared to love still didn't know that he saw Makino's aggrieved expression, and he couldn't bear it, so he stood up and encouraged him earnestly."
There is no second in martial arts, there is no first in the text, there is never a fixed answer in the literary test, as long as the answer is not too outrageous, the examiner will give some points, so as not to judge it as a zero score.What's more, those who participate in the martial arts test do not have high requirements for the results of the literary test, so it is recommended that you write as much as possible, and don't give up lightly" He could see that Makino was physically strong, and if he could reach the Six Realms as soon as possible, he must be a martial arts wizard.If it is really because of the literary test, it would be a pity for the Northern Tang Dynasty to miss such a charging tiger general.When Makino heard this, his expression became more and more unnatural, and he pinched the scroll and was stunned there, and he hesitated for a long time before he embarrassedly squeezed out a sentence."
