Ning Jiang entered the examination room, and the yaguard locked the door outside. With a bang, the iron lock was lowered, causing the chain to ring loudly, and then the yaguard dragged the big stick.

During the imperial examination, food, drink, defecation and urination were all here. To some extent, it was not much different from going to jail.

There were two tables in the examination room, and there was not even a bed. When I was about to sleep, I put the tables on them and slept on them. There were some essential daily necessities next to them, which were all so simple that they could not be more simple. Ning Jiang certainly had no complaints about this. In the life before his rebirth, he had never eaten any suffering. Even in the Xiling place, he came over.

What's more, the imperial examination is the "dragon gate" in the dragon gate. No matter how hard or tired the carp jumps, there are countless people who flock to it.

He sat upright next to one of the tables, took out the three papers from the cloth bag at the table, and looked at them one by one.

The first paper is to write a poem with "Climbing a High to express your feelings", and then extend it with this poem to write a poem. The title is relatively empty, but the rhymes set are very narrow, which can almost be said to be "making articles in the eyes of the embroidery needle". This tests pure poetry skills.

The second paper explains the "sun and moon can shine for a long time when they get to the sky, and can be completed for a long time when the four seasons change for a long time." This is part of the "meaning of the scriptures". The answer is actually a destiny. The test is the reading range of the Four Books and Five Classics of the students. However, because the Book of Changes is basically a must-read course for scholars, those who will do wrong will not work hard. However, after explaining the meaning of the scriptures, they immediately follow up and ask candidates to analyze them with examples, and the examples must come from "Zuo Zhuan".

It can be said that the first half of the question is completely a bonus, while the second half is really used to open up the gap.

The last paper was opened, but it was a question. The question was in the tone of an emperor. It mentioned that a scholar avenged his father, killed his enemy with his own hands, and then tied himself up in front of the government, and the towns jointly pleaded for him. This case asked the candidates to regard themselves as the subject being questioned, and explained their views to the emperor on this case and made a case.

It seems to be a relatively simple topic, but it involves the conflict between the law and the filial piety advocated by Confucianism, and there is actually a small trap hidden in the secret.

This question is enough for ordinary candidates to think too much. According to the law, killing people to pay for their lives, even if they revenge their blood relatives. If they may be punished, it would be a violation of the law and a death penalty, which is not in line with the Confucian advocacy of filial piety. What's more, the question mentioned the issue of "co-branding of the elders", and "public opinion" has always been the top priority.

If you have to worry about the issue of which is more important than law or human relationships, then it will be difficult to worry about three days or three hundred years. Ning Jiang believes that at least more than half of the candidates will fall into this issue.

But he just pondered for a moment, then picked up the manuscript paper, grind the ink and held the pen, and wrote in a magnificent manner.

The title of this third volume seems complicated, but few people know that it actually has real cases. It was almost seven hundred years ago. It was almost the same case, which caused controversy among several officials. The final decision was that the dignity of the law must be maintained, and the murderer must be sentenced to death, but filial piety must also be maintained. Therefore, after the death penalty, the emperor will "give him a favor outside the law" and pardon him. In this way, the law is maintained, filial piety can be promoted, and the people can be satisfied, and "rain, dew, thunder and thunder are all the grace of the king", and the imperial power can be strengthened.

This topic is easy because as long as you know this case and quote it, it is basically equivalent to giving away points. It is difficult because this case is not recorded in the Four Books and Five Classics, and ordinary scholars cannot read it at all. If you had not read the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and have mastered many past cases, it would have been basically impossible to know this case.

If this case is not cited, even if the same method to solve the problem is thought of, it will eventually be a loss of points, just because in the case of the Great Zhou Dynasty, "there are examples to follow" is a very important thing.

As for Ning Jiang, he read the laws of the Great Zhou and all kinds of unpopular books based on his powerful memory from the "Golden Soul", and truly achieved precautions. He even remembered the specific year and month of this case and the regulations cited. This alone was enough to make his policy theory stand out among all the candidates.

After writing this policy first, he did not continue to do other questions, but instead sat up in this narrow space and continued to cultivate his soul.

During the scientific examination, once you are locked into the examination room, basically no one will ask, no one will care, there is a stove in the room, a fire broker, and there is a food that can be cooked simply. You can solve the problem of eating by yourself, and just forget about the problem of bathing. When the time comes, you can pull the small rope next to the door, and the bell on the other end will ring. Naturally, someone comes to open the door and let you go out. If the time is not right, no one will pay attention to you even if the bell is pulled.

Similarly, the yamen in the examination room cannot leave the venue once the exam starts. They have to stay for these three days and three nights. Except for sending the candidates in at the beginning and finally letting the candidates out, they cannot contact the candidates casually for any reason. Although this method of treating the candidates as prisoners is indeed inhumane, to a certain extent, they are indeed afraid of the endless cheating methods in the past.

Ning Jiang was like this, sitting in this room that was almost eight feet long and eight feet wide. Outside the examination room, it was already bright and then it gradually became dark again.

In the middle of the night, his golden soul left his body, slowly flew to the ceiling, passed through the wall, and floated on the eaves.

At this moment, the entire examination room was quiet, and soldiers were patrolling outside the yard. Several warriors who worked for the court were monitoring around in case of people from the world coming to the examination room to make trouble, or helping a candidate cheat.

Although Ning Jiang's soul is already at the level of "Golden Soul" and is much stronger than that of ordinary people, even if his soul leaves his body, it will not scatter. However, in the entire soul training system, the gold soul is only at the lowest level and cannot be too far away from his body. Moreover, it will cause some damage when exposed to too strong wind and sun.

Of course, although it is still only the "lowest level", because you can clearly understand and control your own soul, it is already a big step for ordinary people, and it is a problem of "can" and "can't".

Floating on the eaves, he looked at the night sky. At this moment, the moon was bright and stars were sparse. The Wendi Star was still shining in the night sky. Even the bright moonlight could not block its light. All the stars were slowly rotating around it. The entire starry sky seemed like a funnel that slowly rotated according to the four seasons. The former Ziwei Star... The Wendi Star is now in the center of the trajectory of the stars.
