Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

The purpose is to prevent someone from taking the exam under someone else's name.

Next comes the formal body search.

This process has a special name - inspection.

The requirements of the "search and inspection" system of the Great Qi Dynasty were extremely strict. No matter whether they were white-haired old men or young boys, they all had to undergo a series of meticulous inspections, such as opening their collars, unbuttoning their shirts, taking off their shoes, and removing their hats.

Sometimes, even small details like ears and nostrils are not overlooked to ensure that there is no possibility of cheating.

The inspection system is extremely strict!

Many scholars who took part in the imperial examination complained bitterly, saying that they could not bear such torture.

They believed that such searches were undoubtedly a serious provocation and insult to the dignity of scholars.

However, unlike others, Gu Yan behaved extremely calmly and composedly.

He calmly undressed himself and accepted the meticulous inspection by the two inspectors.

In Gu Yan's eyes, although the inspection system is strict, it also means that everyone is treated equally and without favoritism.

For all scholars in the world, this precisely reflects fairness and justice.

As long as you hold on to the right path in your heart, why should you fear the various tests from the outside world?

Perhaps it was precisely because of this firm belief and open-mindedness that the search personnel, who had just met a scholar as cooperative as Gu Yan for the first time, could not help but feel a little more favorable towards him.

Gu Yan was keenly aware that among the people waiting in line for search behind him, there were faint voices of complaint and dissatisfaction: "They have to take this off, and they have to take that off..."

But he remained unmoved. He calmly put his clothes in order, successfully completed the search procedure at the ceremonial gate, and walked into the examination room.

After entering the examination room, the candidates were divided into groups of twenty and stood neatly in front of the prefect.

Then, another group of internal search personnel came forward and conducted more in-depth body searches on them one by one.

After the body search was completed, the scholars moved to the provincial education commissioner, where their identity information was verified by the stipend guard.

Afterwards, each scholar had to hand over the statement to the recorder next to him in exchange for paper to answer the questions.

The person in charge of recording will assign specific seating locations for students based on the examination room arrangements and record the relevant information in detail in the corresponding form on the answer sheet.

Once the candidates receive the answer sheets, they must quickly find their seats and sit down, make some preparations before the exam, such as registering the number curtain, and then be ready to answer the questions.

The whole process was orderly, tense and well-organized, and we did not dare to slack off at all.

In the solemn and dignified Imperial Examination Hall, the seats in the examination room were carefully divided into east and west sides.

These seats are arranged in the order of the ancient and mysterious "Thousand Character Classic".

Each column has a unique logo, like a mysterious code waiting to be solved.

For example, "东寒字十三" means the thirteenth seat in the column of the character "寒" on the east side.

However, in this vast "Thousand Character Classic", there are sometimes some words that need to be avoided, such as Tian, ​​Xuan, Di and Huang, etc.

Whenever encountering these special words, recorders need to be extra careful to avoid breaking taboos.

At this moment, they are busy recording the seat information of each student and compiling it into a book. This seat book is like a treasure house of knowledge, which can be conveniently consulted at any time in the future.

Through it, you can easily know which talented student is sitting in a specific seat.

It is worth mentioning that during the academy examination, students’ personal names would not be written on their answer sheets.

When they submit their question papers, they will only write down the seat number to which they belong.

For this reason, after reviewing the answers, you must carefully check the seats and names to ensure that everything is correct.

In addition, there is a special design on the answer sheet - a sticker for filling in your name, which people call a "floating ticket" or "floating paper."

Three delicate seals are pressed on the joint between this sticker and the cover, like three keys guarding a secret. After completing the test, the candidates will carefully peel off the floating ticket and keep it properly.

In the end, all you have to do is submit the answer sheet with the number on it.

When the results are announced in the future, those who have successfully passed the exam can use the well-preserved floating tickets in their hands to prove their identity.

Not only that, each candidate can also receive a booklet called "Poetry Rhythm".

This booklet is an indispensable reference book when writing poetry.

As we all know, the rhythm of Chinese characters is numerous and complex. In order to achieve unified standards, the court of the Great Qi Dynasty specially formulated a set of clear rhyme rules, compiled them into this "Poetry Rhymes" and distributed them to everyone.

From then on, it became the common criterion and standard followed by all literati and poets.

When many candidates found their seats and sat down, the first rays of dawn appeared in the sky.

The questions for this first exam were from classic topics in the Four Books and Five Classics.

It is worth mentioning that due to regional differences and other reasons, the test questions in each region are different.

These questions are written in large fonts on special wooden signs. Then the staff members specially responsible for this matter hold the signs high and walk back and forth in the examination room to clearly display the questions in front of every candidate present.

The chief examiner of this exam is the academician. He has a heavy responsibility and will personally supervise the entire exam process.

At the same time, there were ten seals placed beside him in case of emergency, so that he could stamp the completed answer sheets of the candidates at any time.

It is important to remind you that there are many things that candidates need to pay special attention to when taking the college entrance examination.

The first one is "moving seats". The so-called "moving seats", as the name suggests, means that the candidates leave their original seats without permission.

According to the examination regulations, each candidate has only one chance to temporarily leave his seat to drink tea or go to the toilet.

During this period, they must first submit the completed parts of their answer sheets.

After returning to your seat, pick up the answer sheet you submitted previously and continue answering the questions.

However, the actual situation is often not that simple. Some smart people will even prepare a clean teapot under their table in advance to cleverly resolve this problem.

However, if you leave your seat without any reason, the invigilating officials will not hesitate to stamp a conspicuous "seat removal stamp" on the unfinished answer sheet.

Once this situation occurs, the candidate will basically have no chance of passing the exam.
