The efficiency of the tribute school is really low. The packages of candidates are not delivered until dusk. Many candidates are almost frozen to death, and many candidates are hungry. Fatty Zheng next door is a typical example. He is so hungry that he faints. He even rattles the bell twice in violation of regulations and urges his food. However, his violation was not recorded by the examiner, and there was only one verbal warning that was not itchy or painful.

When the package was delivered, Li Yanqing heard a hungry wolf-like roar next door, and then the sound of wolf-eating was heard.

Although Li Yanqing was also hungry, he did not lose his composure. Instead, he carefully put the test papers on the table and untied them. There were three food boxes inside.

Li Yanqing had to admire Manager Wang's rich experience. Manager Wang specially put it in the package with fifty cents of red cloth bags. Now the red cloth bag is gone, but the food box and the food inside are well preserved. Otherwise, after being inspected by the soldiers, it will definitely be a mess.

The main food is steamed buns, as well as cured meat, sausage, boiled eggs, kimchi, and more than a dozen oranges. The portion is very large and enough to eat for three days. Although they are all cold food, the examination room will serve a large bowl of hot tea, so the stomach will not be too uncomfortable.

At this time, the soldiers began to deliver tea. Li Yanqing had a full meal, drank hot tea, went to the toilet, and then wrapped his body with a blanket, and fell asleep. Since the time had been calculated, sufficient sleep was the key to ensuring physical strength.

Two days passed in a flash. By noon on the third day, the consequences of many candidates' inadequate writing began to appear. The most serious consequence was that the questions were not completed, but the answer sheet was gone. Such candidates were definitely not a minority. At least Li Yanqing saw with his own eyes that several scholars around him were rejected and warned.

The slightly better one is that the font at the front is larger, but at the back, the font is smaller and smaller, and the distance between the lines is squeezed together. A typical slash-like slash-like slash-like slate will definitely affect the final score.

Li Yanqing finished all thirty test questions on the afternoon of the third day. Except for the three or five thousand words that he did not use straw paper, he answered all the other test questions on the straw paper.

He carefully read the ten answer sheets, and he was very satisfied with it. There was no trace of modification. The layout was well-proportioned, the font was not big or small, and the whole paper was very pleasing to the eye. When the ink marks on the paper were dry, he wrote the name and pasted it. Finally, he used a small wooden clip to clip the ten papers together.

At this time, the drums that were allowed to hand in the paper were ringing, and there was still half an hour before the end of the exam. At this time, all the candidates who should have finished had already finished. Even if they had not finished, they could not continue to work for various reasons. Either they were not memorizing well or the answer sheets were gone. The scholars no longer hesitated and handed in the papers.

After hearing the movements next door, Li Yanqing really admired the fat man next door. He was eating all the time, falling asleep at night, and snoring was loud. Fortunately, Li Yanqing was foresighted and went to bed early, while the candidates on the other side were in great pain and probably did not fall asleep all night.

Although Zheng Rongtai seemed to have not started writing much, Li Yanqing still found clues. The next night, about midnight, a soldier quietly sent him a roll of paper.

His father should have hired a master of fake pens and copied the answers to him by imitating his handwriting. Otherwise, with the speed of this fat man's writing, he would not finish even if he copied the answers, and he would even copy them incorrectly.

Li Yanqing rang the bell and handed the paper and straw paper to the examiner. Then he packed up the package and followed the crowd out of the Gongyuan gate.

The second exam took three days and two nights, and all the candidates were exhausted. They went back to the inn to rest and prepare for the third equally severe exam. The imperial examination scholars were not seen in various taverns in Anyang City, and only the young scholars who participated in the state entrance exam gathered together to drink happily.

Li Yanqing and Zhang Xian hurried back to the inn. Zhang Xian looked bad and seemed to have not been satisfactory in the second exam. However, Li Yanqing understood his personality. Zhang Xian lacked consideration for his work, so he must have started writing without planning. In the end, the test papers were not enough and the papers were very ugly.

But the imperial examination is so cruel. It not only requires a test of knowledge, but also tests a person's ability to do things. It seems that the details are not taken into account, but it just reflects a person's lack of ability to do things.

As soon as the two walked into the inn, Manager Wang came up and said, "Brother Qin checked out in the afternoon."

Li Yanqing and Zhang Xian looked at each other and asked in unison: "Where has he been?"

"I went to the state to study. He left you a message to ask you to take the exam well and not to worry about him. He felt that he was more suitable for taking the Imperial Academy route. He said he could not stand the cruelty of the imperial examination."

Manager Wang was eloquent and told Qin Liang's message very vividly. Li Yanqing nodded. In fact, Qin Liang's 97th place in the county exam basically determined his fate.

Zhang Xian sighed, "It is very likely that I will also go to the state school to study. In fact, it is not bad. You can take the Taixue exam after three years. If you get into the Taixue exam, what is the difference between going to the Taixue exam and going to the Taixue exam by the Juren?"

Of course there is a difference here. It is not that easy for a student to pass the exam. However, Li Yanqing was a little tired and didn't want to say anything else, so he said to Manager Wang: "Please ask the Manager to send a good meal to my room and bring a pot of wine."

"Please go and rest, I'll arrange to deliver it right away."

Li Yanqing and Zhang Xian broke up and dragged their tired steps back to the room. He was not tired, but his mind was like a mudslide, and he was in chaos. He didn't want to do anything or read any books, but he just wanted to fall back and have a good sleep.

.........

The third exam is also a big deal, including strategies and theory, both Mingjing and Jinshi subjects, and it can be said that it is the key to the final ranking of candidates, taking two days and one night.

There is no question paper for policy thesis, only a test card. There are only three questions in total, one policy and two theories. The countermeasures are extremely important and are also the core of the entire interpretation of the imperial examination.

The countermeasures question made Li Yanqing a little stunned, "Analysis of the preparations for regaining Yan Yun."

The imperial examination is also a mirror. From the imperial examination questions, we can also see some of the decision-making ideas of the imperial examinations. We actually proposed to regain Yanyun, which means that when Zi had the idea of ​​regaining the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun today.

Li Yanqing was very clear about that history. Six years later, in the fourth year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan led an army of 150,000 to conquer the Liao Kingdom, trying to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in one fell swoop. As a result, he was defeated by tens of thousands of Liao troops that were temporarily pieced together, allowing the Jin army to see through the corruption and weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, this question does not require candidates to write about how to recover Yan Yun, but rather tests the preparation strategy.

Generally, war preparations will be explained from the people's hearts, food and supplies, recruitment of troops, strengthening training and other aspects.

But Li Yanqing decided not only to write about these aspects, but also to write about the current situation of the Liao Kingdom and the impact of the establishment of the Jin Kingdom on the entire war situation.

The enemy of the Song Dynasty's recapture of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was not entirely the Liao Kingdom, but also the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom. The recapture of Yanyun was not achieved in a short period of time, but a great cause that only needs to be achieved after decades of long-term preparations for the government and the people.

‘The Jurchens originated from the Marine and flourished in Wanyan. The chief Aguda took Meng'an's mortle as the command, gathered the barbarian and wild tribes, created powerful troops, prepared their troops and hoped farther away. In a battle with Hedian, he won the more with fewer victory, and the situation in northern Liaoning was initially decided.

Li Yanqing thought while writing, and it took him three hours to finish writing this plan to recover Yan Yun with more than 3,000 words.

At night, Li Yanqing tossed and turned, and it was difficult to fall asleep. It was not that Fatty Zheng's snoring next door affected his sleepiness, but that a plan to recover Yan Yun made him think a lot and feel anxious.

The Jin Dynasty was established at the beginning of last year, and in another ten years the Jingkang shame came. Emperor Song Huizong was still obsessed with money and appointed treacherous and unwilling to make progress. Not only did he have no precautions for the rise of the Jurchens, but he also had unrealistic ideas about Yan Yun.

Even though I know history, I am not willing to say anything, and it is difficult to stop the crisis from approaching day by day.

Li Yanqing did not pity the two emperors Hui and Qin being forced to take charge of the Jin people to the north. He just felt heartbroken that the great rivers and mountains were tragically ravaged. Thousands of kind people cried under the iron hooves and were helpless. The beautiful home turned into ruins and the century-old prosperity was burned into flames.

He was born and raised here. This is his homeland that he missed. How could Li Yanqing change history and protect the beautiful home of the Song Dynasty and the thousands of fellow villagers from being ravaged by the iron hoofs of foreign races?

Before he knew it, Li Yanqing was already in tears. He lay on the wooden board, looking through the small door at the stars in the night sky. The bright stars seemed to change the opportunities of history, so clear, but so far away, out of reach.

Opportunity, he needs to seize it, but where should he seize it in the small Xiangzhou?

At this time, Fatty Zheng snoring like a thunder came from next door. Li Yanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly. He stared at the starry sky to look for opportunities, but he didn't know that opportunities were by his side and opportunities were under his feet.
