Chapter 341: In The Imperial Examination, You Compete In Wrestling?
Chapter 341: Imperial Examination, Are You Competing in Wrestling?
Ye Xuan walked up to the high platform that had been set up in advance and announced the test questions in a simple and rude manner at the top of his voice.
"In the past, you always said that my questions were too difficult. Today, it will be easier. You will work in pairs and wrestle with each other! As long as you beat your opponent, you will have passed the exam!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, all the candidates were stunned at first, and then excited.
Suddenly, there was thunder inside and outside the Gongyuan.
Both the candidates and the officials stared blankly without doubting that they had heard wrongly.
Yang Qianzhi looked at Ye Xuan, but the latter had a faint smile on his face.
The copy should look like this, but at this moment, it really seems a bit unbeatable.
Yang Qianzhi wanted to say something more, but Ye Xuan's entourage had already moved the chair to the high platform.
After Ye Xuan sat down, the smile on his face did not diminish, and he turned a deaf ear to the objections of the candidates in the audience.
At this moment, the officials finally understood why they had to build a high platform for a make-up exam.
Obviously, Ye Xuan had planned all of this, and some officials had even imagined a big surprise.
"17 Could it be that Mr. Ye is using this method to protest to His Majesty?"
"This kind of imperial examination is unheard of and unseen!"
"I hope Your Majesty will be merciful and hold only one of us responsible and not implicate our children!"
The officials had their own thoughts, while the butchers were hesitant.
They come from all over the country and work tirelessly to stand out from the supplementary exams.
Which of them has not studied hard since childhood? Which one of them does not claim to be a disciple of a sage?
But what was the result? Ye Xuan actually wanted them to be so humiliating and polite in this sacred tribute courtyard.
"Master Ye, are you serious?"
Finally, one candidate took the courage and confirmed Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan nodded, stretched out his hand, and took the tea cup handed by the attendant.
"That's right, there is no particular pattern in selecting talents for the country. Do you have any opinions?"
While speaking, Ye Xuan greeted other officials without waiting for any of the candidates to answer.
"Today's exam is different from before. Everyone, please sit down and have a rest and wait for the exam to end!"
The officials looked at each other with mixed feelings, but most of them finally followed Ye Xuan and sat down in their seats.
If it's a test paper article comparison, officials do need to do inspections and other work.
But today is a fight of fists and kicks, and it is enough to ensure that no one is cheating and that it will not be fatal.
The candidates were still imagining that someone among the officials would raise questions or persuade Ye Xuan to change the test questions.
But when the officials took their seats, this last thought was shattered.
Yang Chun's face was full of astonishment, and he even suspected that he was still a minister.
"In the Gongyuan Academy, which selects talents for the country, you have an old fist fight with a scientific scholar? This is really insulting to gentlemen. Could it be that Lord Ye has other plans?"
He is calculating, and others are also speculating.
Because of Ye Xuan's previous actions, many people are now suspecting that Ye Xuan may have other deeper meanings, and there may even be other explanations for the test questions themselves.
How would they know that Ye Xuan was doing this for their own good.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had said it first. The selection of officials this time was to reserve talents for future postings in Korea and Japan.
If these people are all literati and scholars with weak health, they may get sick or injured before they arrive. Wouldn't that be a waste of a quota?
"My lord, you were ordered to select talents, is this your method?"
Just when the officials were full of worries and the candidates were excited, someone finally raised a question.
People follow the crowd. When someone takes the lead, many candidates will immediately respond.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a disgrace to the Emperor. You are just joking about our future! If it delays His Majesty's selection of candidates and chills the hearts of students all over the world, "Can you afford it?"
"That's right! If you are like this, I would rather not take the exam!"
"You have to give me an explanation today, otherwise I'd rather not take the exam!"
Seeing that the public examinations were so angry that a slight inadvertence might trigger a civil uprising, the officials were also a little frightened.
Yang Qianzhi looked at Ye Xuan. After hesitating for a moment, he came closer and planned to persuade him in a low voice.
But before he could speak, Ye Xuan had already stood up suddenly.
He walked to the stage and looked deeply at everyone who spoke.
Although he was handsome, he also had a dignified appearance, and he was wearing official uniform, which added to the sense of oppression.
Feeling Ye Xuan's gaze, many candidates immediately shut up.
Yang Chun stood in the crowd and originally echoed a few words, but after being glanced at by Ye Xuan, he immediately shut up.
He studied hard in a cold window for a bright future.
No matter how ridiculous Ye Xuan's test questions were, he would not dare to risk his own future.
Among the candidates, most people have the same mentality.
After all, if someone is really willing to give up his fame and fame, who would travel hundreds of miles and endure the pain of traveling to get here?
Who in the world doesn't know that Ye Xuan's test questions are tricky? Everyone who comes here is actually prepared to be embarrassed.
It's just that Ye Xuan asked them to take action, which was a little difficult for them to accept.
Seeing all the candidates fall silent, Ye Xuan finally spoke again.
"I know what you are thinking!"
"You think it's unethical and unreasonable to do this, don't you?"
When Ye Xuan spoke, he looked around at everyone again, and even the officials couldn't help being startled by Ye Xuan's momentum.
Most of the candidates were silent, but some responded.
"That's right. We are taking a literary test, not a martial arts test. How can it be like this?"
"Yes, if this spreads out, wouldn't we lose face?"
After saying this, many 917 people responded immediately.
These people were all passed down in the literary examination.
It is certainly a blessing to have the opportunity to take the exam again, but if you are not elected because of a fight or something, you will feel inferior to others in the scholarly society and even in the court, and it will be difficult to promote you as a doctor.
Looking at the candidates, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sneer.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the candidates, "After ten years of hard work, here is one move. If you are willing to give up, you can leave now. If you still want to take the exam, start immediately!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Ye Xuan didn't wait for everyone to react and was already sitting in his original position.
In fact, Ye Xuan is not messing around. Zhao Kuangyin has used his examination method before.
According to historical records, in the eighth year of Kaibao's reign, during the Bianliang Examination, when it came to the Golden Palace Examination, Wang Sizong and Chen Shi were equally knowledgeable, so Song Taizu ordered the two to compete in a competition to compete for the top spot.
It’s just that Ye Xuan always does things in an informal way and is too lazy to explain to others.
At this moment, Ye Xuan's words were like a mountain, overwhelming all the candidates.
They came all the way here just to have something to look forward to. If they really left, they would have to wait for several more years, and who knows what emergencies might happen during the next exam.
One person looked at the people around him, and then simply imitated the words in the script, loudly announced his origins, and invited a fight. .
