Chapter 68: That day finally arrived

The needles fell in the Gongyuan where thousands of people gathered, and the sound of footsteps that the examiners deliberately let out when they walked can be heard far and far away like thunder in summer.

When Tang Song first got the title, he was still nervous. When he saw the most important poem title and its limit on rhymes, Tang Song was not just a calm mind. He could not help but whistle to the sky.

The sky has no eyes. The many disagreements since entering Beijing this time and the difficulties in obtaining a quota for tribute students in the village have been compensated at this moment!

The genre of the poems examined in the Jinshi exam in the Tang Dynasty was fixed as regulated verse. In addition to the genre, there were strict regulations on the test questions and rhymes. Speaking of which, the poem title of the Jinshi exam "Xiangling Gushou" was actually not easy to write. Most scholars would have a headache when they got this question.

The reason why Tang Song was so excited that he wanted to whistle to the sky was that he had seen this extremely dangerous poem title.

I suddenly encountered a question with a high score that could affect future admission results, but it was extremely difficult. But you have seen and done this question on very rare materials before. What does it feel like?

Of course that's...

It's so cool!

During the Tang Dynasty in the 300th year, the imperial examination was held in a custom-made manner for at least two hundred years. However, during these two hundred years, there were few famous works in the Jinshi examination hall where almost all the flag poets except Li Bai participated. The reason is that this method of examining poetry is too deadly and the poets are too nervous, so it is normal that it is difficult to have excellent works.

But there are always exceptions in everything. Although this extremely low probability exception is the existence of phoenix feathers and feathers, there are still some.

Du Fu did not leave any classic works that could be passed down in the examination hall of the Jinshi exam, Wang Wei did not, Meng Haoran did not, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen, Li Shangyin, Du Mu, etc. But there was one person who became famous in the poetry world with a poem in the examination hall and eventually reached the peak of the poetry world in his era.

Although he later wrote many poems, including many good ones, throughout his life, this imperial examination poem written in the examination hall was still recognized as one of his most representative works.

This person was the well-deserved leader of the test at the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty. Qianqian Zhongwen, who was the first of the ten talents of the Dali period, was the first of the ten talents.

The poem he gave in the exam he took was "Xiang Ling Drum Seal".

Whether it is the confusion of time and space or the wings of butterflies. In short, this test poem that should have appeared only in the mid-Tang Dynasty actually appeared in advance and was just encountered by Tang Song.

The sky has eyes!

If you fail the exam, you will face this imperial examination with the "scientific poetry" that can be regarded as the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty's poetry history for three hundred years. If you fail the exam... it would be unreasonable!

Such a possibility is simply impossible!

Although the exam is far from over, Tang Song is sure.

He was in a good mood. In this extremely nervous examination room, in which all the scholars were thinking hard and did not dare to be distracted, Tang Song even put down the thin brush in his hand, raised his head and threw a distant glance with a warm smile into the sky in the north.

There is the palace city!

Little girl Liumei, wait, brother, I have arrived as soon as possible!

Compared with the imperial examinations after the Tang Dynasty and even the college entrance examinations in later generations, the exam time at this time was the shortest, and it only took one day to enter or leave early and late... and one night.

When Tang Song walked out of the tightly regulated Gongyuan, the early spring sunset had not yet completely collapsed.

"The three candles have passed and the bell has just moved, and the seven-turn pill has not opened. The waning moon is getting lower and disturbed by people. I don't know who is the exiled immortal?"

The Ministry of Rites Order: "If scholars have unfinished their day answers, they will be allowed to burn three candles." Looking back at the tribute court, and then looking at the three candles that had never been moved in the examination basket, Tang Song smiled leisurely. Tonight, the scholars in the tribute court were probably going to think about the night.

He was in seclusion for several months, but now he had finished the exam. Tang Song completely threw this matter behind his head and forced Shui Crystal, who was extremely reluctant to go out, and played wildly inside and outside Luoyang City for several days.

Because she was going out to chat around, the face of the girl in the littered cloud skirt and her peacock eyes that were spotlessly clear and spotless were really unacceptable. In order not to harm the country and the people on the streets of Shendu, Tang Song followed the precedent last time and let Shuijing put on the small hat in blue.

The hat is still not worn correctly, and it will definitely be crooked after a while. It is still ugly and ugly makeup. The crystal, who should be at the age of being the most beautiful, is as calm as ever. It seems that there is no concept of a girl in her mind to be beautiful at all, and it seems that this face is not hers, so she lets Tang Song die and go to the ugly.

After dressing up, Tang Song was satisfied, he irresponsibly led the inside and outside of the Crystal City to wander around.

If you go out of the city first, you must visit the famous Longmen Grottoes. In addition, although it is not a good time to go out, you must go for a walk, which is the best place for me to refine my elixir and the burial place in the world.

When Crystal can move, she will pull the corner of Tang Song's clothes when she can't move. At this time, Tang Song will stop and lean over, carry the little girl on her back before continuing to walk.

After visiting the city outside and inside, you must go to the bustling two cities in the north and south, and there must be no missing Baima Temple. Various special foods, especially restaurants opened by Hu people from various countries, must be eaten, one after another after another after another after another after eating; naturally, the top ten famous wines in the Tang Dynasty cannot be missed, and one cup after another after drinking this time. This time, how cool is it!

After the scientific examination, there are only a few people who can have such a state of mind as Tang Song, and they can play like him.

Most of the other tribute students in the village are nervous and urgent at this moment. Especially as time goes by and the period of the election is approaching but not coming, it is really a tormenting person who eats and drinks without any taste and cannot sleep. In the final analysis, the results of the imperial examination are really important to scholars of this era.

In the middle, you can soar into the sky and step into the "officials" class among the three levels of officials, good and cheap officials in the Tang Dynasty. From then on, you can have no worries about food and clothing, beautiful concubines in the country, and you will be indescribable in your life.

Not winning! Although he would not have encountered the treatment of Su Qin saying that Qin failed and when he returned home in a mess, "the sister-in-law doesn't cook, the wife doesn't weave, and the parents don't think she's son", it's really not good to secretly mock the neighbors and relatives and the villagers.

What’s even more disheartening is that if you fail in one day, who knows how long will this kind of training last? When will it take a day to make a comeback?

Year after year of taking the exam, again and again with hope, this mental journey is like the eighteenth level of purgatory, and it can really torture people to the point of going crazy.

Because of these reasons, Luoyang Shilin is now full of restlessness. During these days, in the wine shops where tribute students from the towns of Shendu like to gather, wine is sold very quickly, and the more intense the wine is, the faster it is.

Just as the tribute students in the village were anxious and anxious, the longest night finally passed and the sky was white, the day to release the results finally came!

That morning, Tang Song got up, after washing up, deliberately put on a new Yuebai Confucian robe that he had never worn, he went out to join the vast torrent of tribute students in the village and left the tribute courtyard.
