Chapter 274 Examination of Papers and Wu
Although he is young, he has written more and more articles;
Waiting for fifteen or six years, he will pass the exam in one fell swoop.
Zhu Ping'an raised the corners of his lips slightly, reciting this child prodigy poem silently, and quietly looked at the various expressions of fellow candidates before the exam. Some were sweating nervously, some were trembling with excitement, and some were The person is very calm. Zhu Ping'an is a calm person. He has made the most preparations and has nothing to fear about the exam.
The waiting time was long. There were soldiers holding torches all around, and braziers were burning everywhere. The whole place was bright.
In the 13 provinces under the direct control of the North and South, more than 5,000 candidates gathered in groups outside the camp gate. They lined up in a long queue. They were like ants moving in front of the camp gate. Everyone was lined up with large and small bags. Waiting to enter the examination room.
This scene made Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but think of the Spring Festival travel season, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
While Zhu Ping'an and others were queuing up outside to take the exam, the inner and outer curtain officers inside the gate were making arrangements for this exam closely.
There are two examiners for this examination. The main examiner is Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites, a senior member of the first rank; the deputy examiner is Yan Maoqing, the second-in-command of the Imperial Procuratorate, and the left deputy Du Yushi, the main examiner. A third-grade official is also an important member of the strict party; there are also eight fellow examiners. These people are the inner curtain officers for this interview.
For this examination, Zuo Shilang from the Ministry of Etiquette was promoted, and he was also a member of the Yan Party. In addition, there are two censors who are responsible for supervising the examination, supplying, collecting examination papers, sealing, recording, reading, receiving papers and patrolling the prison gate. These people are the outer curtain officers for this meeting.
Of course, the main force is still the soldiers responsible for maintaining order, inspections, security and other tasks.
After the mobilization meeting of the inner and outer curtain officers, the outer curtain officers will be responsible for releasing the candidates in batches according to the region to wait for the exam.
The Nanzhili examination area where Zhu Pingan is located is the second batch to enter. After the first batch of Shandong candidates entered, the candidates in the Nanzhili examination area where Zhu Pingan is located are envied by candidates from other areas. , carrying their luggage and packages, they rushed towards the camp gate and queued up to check in.
After hundreds of candidates from all over South Zhili entered the gate, several soldiers closed the gate, and then a middle-aged official in official robes, surrounded by four officials, walked out of the crowd. Come out.
"You heroes, I am the supervisor of this joint examination. One of my responsibilities is to supervise and inspect the candidates. You are all outstanding heroes from all over the country who have passed the provincial examination. You are the best in each place. , you all came here to sing "Lu Ming". Originally, we couldn't search you by the method of dealing with bandits. , but the state-owned legal family has family rules. This examination is a gift from the Holy One. I believe that you are as grateful as I am. In order to repay the gift from the Holy One, this examination will be carried out in strict accordance with the rules. Come on, I believe you all can understand me.”
This middle-aged official in official robes was one of the two supervisors. He walked up to the candidates in Nanzhili and said with a serious face.
“I’ll start with my ugly words first. If any of you dares to bring texts, manuscripts or other things that shouldn’t be brought into the venue, once found out, they will be sent to the Military and Horse Division for questioning immediately. After one month, it will be sent back to the place of origin for recharge. Officials, you will be revoked. You will never participate in the scientific examination again, and you will not be promoted in any way! All officers and soldiers responsible for inspections should also cheer up. Everyone will be inspected in two batches. First, After batch inspection, the second batch Continue to carry out strict inspections. If no problems are found in the first batch of inspections and problems are found in the second batch of inspections, then the officials and sergeants in charge of the first batch of inspections will be severely punished. If problems are found in the examination room, then the second batch of inspections will be punished. a batch All the officials and good sergeants responsible for the inspection will be punished. The officials will be fined and the sergeants will be sent to the border.”
Under the serious instructions of the supervisor, the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly changed He became serious.
"I advise you to cherish your hard-earned fame. Before I announce the start of the search, you still have the opportunity to throw all the illegal items you are carrying in front of you. I still Let bygones be bygones, if you wait until the inspection comes out, don't It's my fault for being ruthless! From now on, I will give you ten breaths of time."
The middle-aged official waved his hand, and all the officials and sergeants present turned their backs to the candidates. There is a visual blind spot and no actions of the examinee can be seen.
Then he heard a popping sound, and Zhu Pingan saw someone in the crowd throwing out small notes, pamphlets, etc. There was even a buddy who took out an inkstone from his bag and threw it out with a snap.
Well, Juren is also very versatile when it comes to cheat sheets.
As expected, everyone is the same. Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh. Just like when he was a graduate student, graduate students also used various methods to take exams. Small transparent adhesive strips were soaked in clean water and then Post it on a water glass, use a WeChat sharing group, print out cheat sheets, etc.
“Very good, let’s start the search.”
Ten breaths later, the middle-aged official looked at the various cheat sheets on the ground, nodded with satisfaction, and signaled to the officer in charge of the search to come and The sergeant divided the candidates into several groups and began to inspect them.
Officials were watching on the side, and soldiers were responsible for the specific inspection work.
The inspection of the gifts and supplies carried is similar to that of the provincial examination. Clothes, hats, robes, insoles, socks, etc. will all be searched. Clothes must not be lining, and cushions can only be one layer. The inkstone must be thick, the writing brush must be hollowed out, the food must be cut, etc. It is similar to the provincial examination.
After watching the whole process of the search of the first examinee, Zhu Ping'an still had to say that the search in the general examination is much stricter than that in the provincial examination and the children's examination, because in addition to the gifts and supplies you carry, , your whole person will also be subject to a strict body search.
How to search is to take off your clothes and let several soldiers grab you all over your body. The search can be said to be meticulous. How can I say, for example, the following are necessary procedures.
Open your mouth, um, there is nothing hidden in your mouth. Look at the ears. Well, there is nothing hidden in the ears. As for the hair, well, it’s not in the hair either. Are there any tattoos or ink marks on the body?
After checking these places where things can be hidden, there is one more place, you know, you need to check it too.
The people who were inspected in front of me were all insulting to politeness and politeness. When they were inspected, their faces turned red and their necks were thick. The soldiers laughed at them, and then they deliberately searched them carefully. At this time, they would not humiliate or humiliate these officials. Master, how long are you waiting for?
Seeing this situation, Zhu Ping'an's intuitive reaction in his mind was: It's hard to explain why a scholar meets a soldier.
Just check the clothes, just check the food, just check the hair, just check the things you bring, well, forget about taking off your clothes, damn, even the grain path needs to be checked, just check. You deliberately humiliated me and commented with a smile!
Comment on your sister!
Literati are such proud beings. They have to put on a good show when they die, and yet they have to be treated like this at this time.
These civil servants are all well-read sages, and they all want to save face. At this time, you actually check like this. Moreover, you big-headed soldiers who cannot read a single Chinese character deliberately humiliate and treat the literati It is nothing more than a great shame and humiliation. However, what can you do? The Holy Spirit has decreed that you must search like this! We couldn't do anything to the emperor, so we pointed the finger at the soldiers responsible for the inspection!
Whether the literati are annoyed or resentful, I guess they all have a grudge against these soldiers who wear armor and carry swords. I can't do anything to you now in the exam. I will deal with it after I have the power after the exam. You, not only will I deal with you, I will also deal with your leader!
This is probably why some literati always use power and tactics to ravage military men in peaceful times!
It was about this time that I began to hold grudges!
Zhu Ping'an was speechless as he watched with pain as the soldiers put Juren in weird and weird poses one after another! It's a pity that some soldiers don't join the ranks of romantic action film directors hundreds of years in the future! (End of this chapter)
