The Book of Changes says, "Observe the astronomy to observe the changes of the times, and observe the humanities to transform the world into small world. It means that the monarch understands the celestial phenomena through the observatory to observe the fortune; through the tribute court, he investigates the humanities to educate the world. Therefore, the Shuntian Gongyuan is located on the southeast corner of the Chongwen Gate in the capital, standing opposite to the observatory, and obtains this metaphorical division of the "small" "The House" It was built in the 13th year of Yongle and started from the former site of the Yuan Qianqian tribe. Since the Ming Dynasty, it has been a major place for the imperial court's talent ceremony. In addition to hosting the provincial examinations in the northern Zhili area, it is also a place for national examinations. Therefore, among the fifteen tribute courts in the country, it is the largest and most noble, and its magnificent scale can only be felt by oneself.

When he came down from the four-carrying green sedan chair, he saw stars everywhere, and the handle of the fight was spinning backwards. He had just passed midnight. He was dressed in his robes and clothes, and walked towards the gate of the Gongyuan with steady steps. The capital in August was completely in autumn, and at this early morning, there was a little chill of food.

Inside are three bluestone archways standing side by side, with dragons and phoenixes and lush spirits, which look very gorgeous and solemn. The archway on the left is written on the outside of the archway on the left, with two big characters engraved with "Tengjiao", which are engraved with "Ming Jing Jue", which are engraved with four characters; the archway on the right is engraved with "Qifeng". It is written on the outside of the archway on the right, which is "Seeking for the wise for the country. The largest archway in the middle is only the front, which is the "Tian Kaiwen Yun" written by Emperor Yonglefu, which is four big characters.

Looking from a distance through the archway, the tribute courtyard is at the end of the square. The wall of the tribute courtyard is as high as 100 feet and five feet, and is covered with thorns to prevent anyone from cheating over the wall. Therefore, the tribute courtyard is known as "thorny" and "thorny courtyard". There is also a hope building on four corners to facilitate fat observation. This is not an examination room, it is simply a prison with strict security!

You can hear the sound of drums from the third day of the Slander Building from afar. I was silent and saw that the official road in front of the Gongyuan gate was already transparent. The soldiers from the Beijing camp who were specially sent to the prison were holding lanterns in one hand and holding the sword on their waists in the other hand. They were squinting their belly and lined up in two rows with a cold expression, alerting the entire Gongyuan area.

Chen Si knew that these soldiers were not only assisting him invigilating the exam, but also monitoring them.

."’

When he moved his eyes from a distance to the bottom of the archway, there were dozens of officials standing there, all of whom were his subordinates of this autumn examination.

After walking silently, those people, led by the two deputy exams, returned silently and smiled:

"Everyone, I won't say anything extra, just eight words: "Working together and working together to work together

Everyone nodded and said, "Sir, please give me the order!" Then they met one by one. One of the two deputy examiners was the cabinet Shizhilang, the Zuozanshan Zhang Siwei, and the other was the Hanlin Academy lecturer Lu Diaoyang. When the three of them met, they couldn't help but smiled and thought that the specifications of this provincial examination were high enough. It wasn't that right? The three of them. Although their official positions were not too high, they were all five or six ranks, but their own quality was there!

Silence, in the 35th year of Jiajing, the top scholar in the Bingchen Certificate.

Zhang Siwei, in the 32nd year of Jiajing, was the first in the Guichou rank of Shuji.

Lu Diaoyang was the second best in the Gengxu category in the 29th year of Jiajing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the three of them are qualified to take on the Shuntian provincial examination independently, but now they have to complete this matter together. Only one problem can be explained, which is the great importance attached to the above.

Let’s look at the eighteen examiners, there are also several old acquaintances. In the same year, the left-ranking judge of Dali, Hu Yingjia, the pedestrian and pedestrian Sun Zhouyang, and the youngest son of Wang Shizhen, Wang Shiyi, and other few others, but there is no need to introduce them one by one.

After a while, the auspicious time came. Three cannons in front of the Gongyuan were fired. Under Shen Mo's gaze, the gate of the soldiers slowly opened; three more cannons were fired, and the gate opened; three more cannons were fired, and the gantry door was opened! A total of nine cannons were fired, and the Shuntian Gongyuan, which had been closed for two and a half years, finally opened the door again!

After firing the cannon, Chen Mo led his examiners to the Gongyuan from the right side of the road. There was another row of Jinyiwei, entering parallel from the left. They were the inspectors of the provincial examination. The leading director Chen Mo also knew one of the 13 Taishang 6 Bing, Zhu Jiu, the Qianhu Office of the Northern Zhili Qianhu Institute.

He looked at Zhu Jiu, and Zhu Jiu immediately noticed that his sharp gaze as a falcon came over. After he was silent, he immediately shook his sharpness and even smiled faintly on his face, but this was not a place to say hello. The two sides took their eyes together and looked straight ahead.

.

The two people walked through rows of examination halls and arrived at the court. Incense tables had been set up in front of the hall, and all the incense candles were tributed on the table. The civil and military officials stood in front of the hall, and Zhu Jiu took a step forward, turned around, cleared his throat and said, "There is an imperial edict!"

"Long live my emperor, long live my life." Silence led the officials to kneel down and answer the order.

At this time, Zhu Jiu took out the imperial edict and read out the appointment of Chen Mo and others.

Zhu Jiu read out the appointment of Chen Mo and others, and finally closed the imperial edict and said, "Mr. Taibao said yesterday, and he said that the emperor asked me to bring a message to Lord Shen and you all."

"I'll listen to the saint."

"Your Majesty said, you may think that the three-year competition is just a routine business. It is true for the Ming Dynasty, but for you, it is related to the future, even... a second scientific examination; you count the examinations, either the prosperous or the prosperous family, the official voice is very good, and the future is bright. The alliance is about to use this opportunity to see if you are real or fake, and can take on more important burdens?" Zhu Jiu recited it all night and blurted out like this, saying: "Scientific examinations are the national talent ceremonies, which are related to talent selection, national prosperity and political stability. We must select scholars fairly, and we must be public. We cannot be neglected!"

As he said that, Zhu Jiu's eyes became extremely loud, and he swept across the crowd and said, "If anyone has distracting thoughts, please go out now. If you miss this opportunity and let Your Majesty down, I will bring these people to justice! At that time, don't say that I am not kind to you!"

After the Emperor Zhu Jiu Dai finished speaking, Chen Si went forward to pay a visit to the big case. Behind him, a yamen runner covered his face with two sunshades. Zhang Siwei stepped forward and knelt forward to invite Emperor Guan Sheng, the Demon-Subduing Emperor of the Three Realms, to come to suppress him, and asked the general to come in to patrol the scene. Then the yamen runner let go of the sunshade, and the silent prayed for three or nine times.

Then Lu Diaoyang knelt down and asked, "The Emperor Zhanghuang of the Seven Ques of Wenchang Kaihua, come to the main test, Lu Diaoyang invites Mr. Kuixing to come to shine, and he is silent and still goes forward to the front three respects." Of course, every time he salutes, people behind him have to follow, and it is inevitable.

After asking Guan Gong Zhou Cang, Wenqu and Wenkui, Chen Si got up and took up his seat. He saw two teams of soldiers standing in front of the examination hall. On the fungus road, there were two people standing in front of each row, one holding a red flag and the other holding a black flag. The small, swaying division said, "The house" said, "The house" said, "The house" and the other burned paper together. The soldiers holding the flag shouted loudly, "Good ghosts come in, and the grudges come in!" It turned out that the red flag was used to recruit candidates, and the black flag was used to recruit candidates. If you do good deeds and accumulate virtues, you will be kind-hearted ghosts come to repay your kindness, massage your back, rub your shoulders, and even make a fuss for you. If you do all the bad things in normal times, you may not be able to make trouble for you, such as sprinkling ink for you, so that you can directly

.

At this moment, a gust of wind rustled through the way, rolling the paper and gray, rolling it under the red flag and black flag. Even the silenced materialist had a slight backbone and said to himself, "Nothing really is a ghost, right?"

After inviting ghosts and gods, I entered the Zhigong Hall. Only examiners can enter, and the inspectors scattered to every corner of the examination room and performed their respective duties."'

Silently led the examiners to perform the great ceremony of "the great sage and the great master. Confucius' tablet, respectfully kneeling three kneelings and nine kowtows. Then, on behalf of the examiners of each room, he swore an oath: "See scholars impartially for the country and the country, do not follow personal feelings, do not accept requests, do not accept bribes, have this heart, and the gods will kill each other."

This is what brought all the gods and ghosts to the sky, and when they walked out of Zhigong Hall in silence, they stood on the stairs. Looking at the stars in the sky, it was already in the fourth update.

Seeing that the candidates were out, Zhu Jiu, who had been waiting outside, said: "Sir, the candidates outside the door have already gathered and can start at any time."

He nodded silently and shouted: "Open the dragon gate!"

So the candidates carried the test baskets in one after another, and received identity checks and body movements one by one in the fungus tray between the gantry and the qimen. These are all anti-cheating methods before the exam. In order to eliminate the candidates for the exam, the latter is to prevent entrainment.

The exam is to find a gunman. This does exist and it is hard to guard against. However, most students are in the county, government, and college exams. For example, the provincial examination level of the provincial examination is sufficient. If they go to the early exam, who will play for others? That delay will last for three years, and no one can afford it.

Therefore, although the provincial examinations exist, they are rare. The main cheating method is to "carry words and write them in hand! Those candidates who want to cheat, each of the Eight Immortals cross the sea, show their magical powers, bring the examination materials and even written articles into the examination room through various forms, fortunately refer to or copy them during the examination. Search them all for the exam. Needless to say, the examination box must be broken, the head must be untied, and the shoes must be removed to see if there is any harness.

Listening to the officials silently, the soldiers shouted and shouted at the candidate's name like a prisoner. They felt quite unhappy and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Zhu Jiu observed his expression and said in a low voice: "You are kind and caring, and it is the blessing of the candidates. It is better for me to let them restrain themselves. I will just turn a blind eye and then pass."

Unexpectedly, Chen Si shook his head and said, "This is not the time for kindness. Although most scholars are obedient and know their integrity, some illegal people always take risks. If they let these people go, it will be a great injustice to most candidates who have not cheated."

Zhu Jiu said solemnly: "Sir, it's true that I'm an adult, but I think more deeply than the roughest ones of us." As he said that, he slapped his chest and said: "Since sir, I, Lao Jiu, took it myself. Let you always see what a fire-eyed eye is like a torch!"

He nodded silently and smiled, "You have to see your brother's abilities." He had heard that Zhu Jiu was once the most powerful captain in the Six Gate. One more inch could see in the bones of a person. He couldn't hide anything. Zhu Jiu went there, his noisy mushroom suit and embroidered spring sword dress were too eye-catching and shocking. He raised his hand to stop the officers and soldiers from saluting. His eagle-like gaze swept across the candidates and said coldly: "I'll introduce myself, Zhu Jiu, one of the Thirteen Grand Princesses, has been in charge of the provincial examination for the eighth provincial examination. He has caught cheating candidates. There are no one thousand, but eight hundred!"

After saying that, his eyes fell on a candidate who was constantly shrinking in the crowd and said, "If you want to cheat, you have to pass my level first!" Then he pointed to the candidate with his hand. His two subordinates Li Xuan recommended him to pull him out like a chicken from the crowd, and then searched him in public. As a result, nothing was found, so he had to let him go.

The candidate was a little shocked, not much, so he turned around and walked into the crowd.

"Stop!" But when Master Zhu Jiu shouted loudly, he was so scared that he stood on the spot.

"Take off the clothes." Zhu Jiu said coldly.

The candidate immediately trembled like a sieve.

The Jinyiwei immediately grabbed him back and forced his robe to remove him, revealing a silk vest with an inside. This time, without the instructions of the Jiuye, the Jinyiwei took the vest and looked at it. The thread end of the inside was not sewn at all, and then pulled it gently, and it fell off, revealing a few pieces of white silk inside.

The candidate immediately collapsed to the ground.

The Jinyiwei presented silk with a dagger. Zhu Jiu took it over and saw that each piece was not large in size. The brush calligraphy on it was written in small regular script with fly heads. There were red pens on the title of the article, and the characters were only three or four millimeters wide. The handwriting was very clear.

Zhu Jiu ordered a few more candidates, and all of them pulled out the entrained "Palm-sized pocket books, white silk, white silk, and paper. There were also many places to hide. There was even a master who put the fraud information in his mouth and tried to get away with it, but Zhu Jiu saw that the person's expression was wrong at first sight. He was speechless when he replied, and the report was indeed revealed.

In just a quarter of an hour, the first group of 300 people passed again, and the eight people with the entrained information were pressed out; and then another group was put in. The fifteen entrained ones were pressed out,

Zhu Jiu ordered people to wear shackles and pull the cheating candidates outside the tribute court to show their opinions. Then he said with a cold face: "Is it so happy to use the tricks to highlight them?"

The officers and soldiers couldn't hold on their faces, and the evil fire in their stomachs could only vent their anger at the next group of candidates.

. Shen Mo naturally did not hesitate to praise him without any effort. He said: "I admire him, I really admire him."

!”

Zhu Jiu grinned and said, "If you check too much, you will have experience."

Shen Mo waved his hand and signaled the soldier who was holding the cheating materials to come over, saying, "Look at these masters, how to cheat." As he said, he picked up a small book: "It's just a work of art." Shen Mo looked at the thin little book, and there was a complete set of "Four Books and Five Classics", "The Essentials of the Literature", and even the format of the answer sheet, taboo and other common sense. It can be said that this is a complete set of exam books. However, it is only two inches long and only half inches wide. The paper is as thin as a cicada's wings, and the words on the front and back are small as sesame seeds. Each page has at least more than five hundred words, and the handwriting is neat and clearly visible. You know, there was no shrinking technique in this era, and each word was written in strokes. It is probably the legendary ingenuity.

After enjoying several amazing reference books, Shen Mo picked up a piece of white silk and saw that it was a well-written article at a glance. You can learn about the candidates' guessing skills of the teachers and teachers." He suddenly remembered Li Shi. That guy saved the guessing questions for several years this year, but he didn't know if he could continue to be magical.

While thinking about it, Shen Mo turned his eyes on the white silk. It didn't matter when he saw it. He was so scared that his hair was standing upright, and he almost felt his soul scattered.

I saw that the first question in the exam was "I don't know it if I live there!

Coincidence, it must be a coincidence, silently pounding my heart, tremblingly looking at the second page, I saw that the title of the article was "A gentleman is in a state of being in a world but is not known for his reputation.

The silent heart was about to jump out of his throat. He used all his strength to lift the third page, and his heartbeat stopped completely and his whole body was extremely cold.

I saw the title: "Deeds: Yan Yuan, Run Zi Wu, Ran Bo Niu Xiao Zhonggong"

One is a coincidence, two are magical. But can I beat all three questions? Even if I believe I can beat them, can the emperor believe them? Can all officials believe them? Now I can’t wash them clearly if I jump into the Yellow River!
