Chapter 380
Du Huangshang analyzed it secretly in his heart, and then chose the idea of his article and prepared to start writing slowly.
Li Qing walked back and forth and read almost the same thing as these candidates. At this time, he could not see any of the candidate's articles, but just from this, he could see the questions and the candidate's own performance, Li Qing could also find a lot of things.
This may not determine the lower limit of a candidate in the officialdom, but it can determine how far they can develop in the future.
Du Huangshang, Hong Yuan and a few others, whether they saw the test questions or themselves, were at most a few breaths of surprise. Then they immediately regained their expressions and focused on their articles.
Such people are people who are focused. In the future, they will be like Liu Yan in the officialdom. They will definitely finish the work first and then talk about other things when they want to do.
And those candidates who had been shocked by Li Qing after a while and had even forgotten to answer the questions for the time being, although Li Qing would not beat them to death, at least the top few should be nothing to them.
In Li Qing's opinion, it is quite good to do the big things as capable as possible. Those candidates who can't hold too much trouble in their heads are already considered pretty good as a county magistrate. The ceiling of their career may be a prefect. If they go up, it will probably be a bit difficult for them.
In one day, Li originally thought that it was good to read these candidates to answer questions, but when almost all the candidates entered the stage of writing articles, Li realized that he had really overestimated his concentration. In such a place, he couldn't sit still.
Coming quietly and leaving quietly became Li's style. Many candidates were halfway through the answer and looked up and found that Li's already gone.
This situation made some candidates with a slim heart start to think about it again. They thought to myself whether Li Qing was dissatisfied with their articles and left. Will this affect his future career and whether he will not become a prime minister in the future...
Of course, in the end, such candidates are often shocked, and then they look up and find that there are only four big words on their test paper: If I am a good person, I will be like this.
The writing is really fast. It is no longer a problem to write it seven times a night. If it were later generations, it was commonly known as the fast gunner. This thing actually has nothing to do with your diligence or not. It is all talent, and it is difficult to practice it when you bring it out of your womb.
But slow people can't make it once a day, and in some cases it is naturally great, which can make some people feel quite satisfied, but this is not the case when they arrive at the examination hall of the tribute school.
Xu Yuan stayed here with the candidates for a day, but there was no expression or fatigue on his face. When there was still one hour left, Xu Yuan once reminded him, and then he looked at the candidates without saying a word.
When there was still half an hour left, the awesome candidates were already preparing to pack up their things and leave, but some candidates couldn't even hold out a hundred words. Will the same situation be true when they were sitting here next year?
The calmness of the top student suddenly became a sharp contrast at this moment.
However, Li Qing obviously could not see these anymore. He stayed here for less than two hours, but he had already touched the candidates in this room about the situation.
Li Qing doesn't read the rhyme when reading the article. To be honest, he really doesn't know how to read it. Through the few sentences from the beginning of a few candidates, Li Qing almost saw the arguments of his article.
Li Qing always thought that the candidates who have come to this point have obviously proved that their IQ is of the highest level among their peers in the previous rounds of exams.
However, in the past, this article must have used a gorgeous rhetoric to write a very old view, but it was in high school.
But for Li Yan, this situation is definitely not possible. He had already notified Xu Yuan that he had to check all the test papers of the candidates as soon as possible after the exam was completed, and personally discussed the final candidates for the Jinshi.
The gorgeous rhetoric is indeed a kind of ability, but even if such a person was selected as the Jinshi, Li Wen was not prepared to play any important role in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty. At most, he would participate in the compilation of some historical books and works.
The talents he wants this time cannot be the big winner in exam-oriented education, but must be a practical person.
Some are happy and some are sad. This is obviously the most realistic portrayal of the provincial examination. Compared with the slightly perfunctory questions in the provincial examinations in the previous few years, this year's difficulty will definitely be ranked.
So many candidates came out of the tribute school and cursed Xu Yuan fiercely when they went to a secluded place, and they completely lost the enthusiasm of rushing to send their articles or poems to others.
This is obviously the reason why Li Qing threw the question to Xu Yuan. In fact, it doesn't matter if Li Qing gets scolded a little more. The key is that it would be a big mistake to scold the emperor if he scolded him too ruthlessly or was heard by others.
Li Qing did this, in his opinion, just to prevent the candidates from being taken down by Dali Temple without knowing it.
After Xu Yuan finished packing the test papers, it was already late at night. He thought about it for a while and did not send the test papers to the Tai Chi Palace as soon as possible. After all, it was already this time. Everyone was men. Xu Yuan knew what Li Nai might be doing in the Tai Chi Palace. Now, it would not be wise to bother him, even if he was Li Nai’s confidant.
However, the confidentiality of the test papers was really important. Xu Yuan hesitated for a while and finally slept overnight in the Gongyuan where the test papers were placed.
Early this morning, Xu Yuan personally followed a carriage to the entrance of the Tai Chi Palace. On the carriage was a box of papers from yesterday's provincial test papers.
Although Xu Yuan, as the chief examiner, had the right to read the test paper first, Xu Yuan, who knew how much Li attached to this provincial examination, did not look at it at all. He was preparing to take a look with Li Yuan to see if there were any outstanding candidates this year.
In fact, Xu Yuan had already noticed a few of them during the exam room, but Xu Yuan had not seen their articles yet. He just judged them through his expression. Such things were like guessing riddles. If all his guesses were finally won, it means that he, the chief examiner, is still quite capable of knowing people.
