Second Chance Chapter 272

Though young, the articles are increasing day by day;

When I am fifteen or sixteen, I will be admitted to the university.

Zhu Pingan slightly tickled the corners of his lips as he silently recited this prodigy poem, looking at the thousand faces of all the candidates in the queue, his heart was incomparably calm. Because I have not wasted any inch of time, I am not living up to Shaoguang, and Shaoguang will naturally not treat me poorly.

The waiting time is long, surrounded by soldiers holding torches, also burning fire pots in various places, the whole venue is a bright light.

North and South Directly under the thirteen provinces, more than five thousand candidates in teams gathered outside the Regulus Gate, sat in the examination basket, carrying a bunk, like the New Year’s Eve crowded train workers, lined up in a long queue, waiting to enter.

This kind of scene made Zhu Pingan not think of the Spring Festival, so he could not help but tickle the corner of his lips.

While Zhu Pingan and the others were lining up outside waiting for the examination, the inner curtain officials and outer curtain officials inside the Regulus Gate were closely setting up for this session of the examination.

There are two examiners for this test, the main examiner is the Minister of Rites, Xu Shi, a member of the first rank; the deputy examiner is Yan Maoqing, the second-in-command of the Academy, the left deputy royal inspector, a member of the third rank, and also an important member of the Yan Party; there are also eight fellow examiners. These people are the inner curtain officials of this meeting examination.

This test has the Ministry of Rites of the left minister as a transfer, this is also a member of the Yan Party. In addition, there are two imperial historians as the supervisor of the examination, the supply, the receipt of the examination paper, the mass seal, the family record, the reading, the acceptance of the paper and inspect the supervisor of the door and so on each have a number of fixed members. These people are the outer curtain officials of this examination.

Of course, the main force is still the soldiers responsible for maintaining order, search and inspection, security and other work.

After the internal and external curtain officials’ mobilisation meeting, the external curtain officials were responsible for releasing the candidates into the examination room in batches according to the region.

Zhu Pingan’s examination area in Nan Zhili was the second batch to enter, and after the first batch of Shandong candidates entered, Zhu Pingan’s Nan Zhili candidates then, under the envious gazes of the candidates from other regions, carried their own bags and surged towards the Regulus Gate, queuing up for inspection and entry.

After the hundreds of candidates from the entire Southern Zhili had entered the Regulator Gate, it was closed by several large soldiers, and then a middle-aged official in official robes, surrounded by four officials, walked out from the crowd.

“Gentlemen, this official is the supervisor of this examination. One of his duties is to supervise the search and inspection of the bosom hostage, all of you are the outstanding jungles from all over the world who have been taken through the township exams, the best of the best from all over the world, and all of you have come here with the song ‘Deer Song’. Originally can not deal with thieves to prevent the way you lifts, but the state law has family rules, this test is the gift of the Holy Spirit, I believe that you with me as grateful, in order to return the gift of the Holy Spirit. In return for the gift of the Holy Spirit, the examination will be carried out in strict accordance with the rules. This official is also through this search, I believe that all the talented people can also understand this official.”

This middle-aged official in official robes was one of the two supervisors of the examination, and walked to the front of the candidates of Nan Zhili, and opened his mouth with a serious face.

“This official ugly words first said in front, if you have anyone who dares to hostage the text, transcripts and other things that should not be brought into the field, once detected, immediately sent to the Division of the military horse interrogation, yoke number after a month, sent back to the origin of the mandarins, revoke the title of lifts. In the future, they will never take the examination again, nor will they be promoted! And you are responsible for the search of the hostage officials and sergeants, should also be strictly responsible for the search is repeated twice, if the latter search found that the problem, then punish the former, if the problem found in the court, before and after both to be punished. The sergeant shall be transferred to a remote guard station, and the official shall be fined one year’s salary.”

Under this Supervisory Examiner’s stern-faced admonition, the atmosphere of the entire arena instantly became serious.

“This official advises all of you lifters. Cherish the hard-won merit, before this official announces the start of the search, you all still have the chance to get rid of the illegal things that each of you is not quite carrying. This official will not take the blame. From now on, this official grants you ten breaths of time.”

As the middle-aged official said that, he waved his hand, and all the officials and sergeants present all turned their backs to the candidates, and a visual dead zone was formed in the direction of the candidates, so that they could not see any of the candidates’ actions.

Then

Zhu Pingan saw some small slips of paper, wax balls. Palm-sized pamphlets and other cheaters were successively thrown to the foot of the wall, and there was even a porcelain pillow.

Err, lifters also engage in cheat sheets.

Sure enough, everyone is the same, Zhu Pingan could not help but laugh, just like when he was a graduate student, graduate students exams are also a variety of means all together, transparent adhesive small paper strips soaked in water and then pasted on the cup of water ah, WeChat sharing group ah, shrink printing cheat sheets ah and so on.

“Very good, start searching.”

Ten breaths later, the middle-aged official looked at the ground’s fancy cheat sheets, nodded with satisfaction and signalled the officials and soldiers responsible for the search to divide the candidates into several groups and start the search.

The officials were watching from the side, and the specific search work was handled by the soldiers.

The gifts and supplies carried, the search is similar to the countryside examination, clothes, hats, robes, insoles, socks and so on are to be searched, clothes are not lined, cushions can only be a layer of cushions, ink stone thick can not be, brushes have to be hollowed out, the food has to be cut up and so on, similar to the countryside examination.

After watching the whole process of the first candidate to be searched, Zhu Pingan still had to say that the search of the examination is much stricter than the township examination and the student test, because in addition to the gifts and supplies you carry, your whole person is also subject to a strict body search and inspection.

How to search it, is to undress, by a few soldiers in your whole body to grab and pull, the search can be said to be meticulous, how to say it, such as the following are required procedures.

Open your mouth, well, there is nothing hidden in your mouth. Look at your ears. Well, there’s nothing hidden in your ears. What about the hair? Well, there’s nothing in the hair. On the body, there are no tattoos or ink marks.

After these, there’s one more place to hide, you know, to check.

Look at the front of the several brothers face red neck thick to accept the inspection, look at several soldiers with intentional nature of the meticulous search.

Zhu Pingan had a deeper understanding of a saying, that is, the saying, “When a showman meets a soldier, he can’t reason things out”, perhaps it came from this time.

When a scholar meets a soldier, he can’t make any sense out of it!

Most of the literati and the soldiers dealt with, about this time from the tribute to the beginning of this time. Soldiers with a belt knife, is very powerful, usually high and mighty lords, at this time, like three grandchildren general head down, in the hot sun to be more wilted more wilted, soldiers to them to call, they do not even dare to put a fart. In this way, one by one, the lifts the public to go through the search of the belt, the identification of this procedure, and the soldiers also took the opportunity to vent their disrespect for the lifts the old man, searching the meticulous to undress, peeling open the five grain road.

Literati is how proud of the existence of ah, die to pose it, this time even to be treated so.

Why is it that, historically, the literati always have a hard time with the martial arts, and why do so many literati use all means to fix the martial arts in the sh*t.

Why?

Where do they get so much fire and hatred?

Now that I think about it, I guess they were insulted by the soldiers when they were applying for the examination, and their grievances were so deep that they lost their temper and lost their temper.
