I came to this world to open the way

Stereotyped articles take topics from the "Four Books and Five Classics" and are absolutely not allowed to be free to play. Moreover, the length of sentences, the complexity of words, and the tone of voice must be relatively written, and the number of words is also limited.

After Shao Si sorted it out, Chen Yao presented one after another classic stereotyped example essays. Although there were not many, they were definitely enough for the county examination.

If it is said that it is still difficult for a scholar to be a scholar, the first county examination for children is definitely not difficult. As long as you are willing to take the time to memorize it, you can usually pass the handwriting if you can read it.

Therefore, if Yan Zhen, the only son of the Yan family, failed the county examination, it would be a joke to spread the word, but he didn't pay attention to his studies on weekdays, and when he came to the examination, he actually asked the land god, which also forced the child to have no choice.

Soon, Chen Yao memorized all the stereotyped essays by relying on the power of the gods.

It was night, a golden-armored god appeared in Yan Zhen's dream, and the god told him that sincerity would naturally be rewarded, this time he came to fulfill his wish.

Speaking of which, Chen Yao likes to use three kinds of images now, the first one is in front of his own people, with a normal face, and the clothes are mainly comfortable and noble; Finally, there are the statues of the Earth Temple, which are mainly in official uniforms.

The beauty of his image, as the god of land, he has already experienced it deeply. He doesn't need to put himself too high in front of the hands who control life and death, but he must guarantee the mysterious majesty as a god in front of believers.

The next day, Yan Zhen was woken up by the servants at home before the fifth watch. He looked dazed, not because he woke up too early.

Instead, he suddenly had a lot of articles in his mind, all of which were classics of stereotyped essays. He knew all of them and had seen them in books, but he didn’t remember memorizing them.

Yan Zhen suddenly remembered the real dream he had last night, the land god really entrusted him with a dream, he hurriedly put his palms together and bowed in all directions.

"Zhen'er, what's wrong with you? Don't stress too much, your father won't do anything to you." Yan's mother, who loves her son, also came. Seeing Yan Zhen like this, she panicked.

Yan Zhen also knew that outsiders would not understand him like this, but he couldn't explain it. If his mother hadn't been in front of him, he would have to take out the statue of the land and kowtow a few times first.

"Mother, the child is fine, don't worry, go home, I will definitely win the first match." In front of the gate, Yan Zhen patted his chest to reassure Yan's mother, looking very confident.

Watching Yan Zhen leave in the carriage, Yan's mother was still worried, and said to Yan's father who was hiding next to him and did not show up: "Father, don't hide, everyone has gone away, what do you think of Zhen'er?" Suddenly... woo woo, everyone told you not to be too strict."

Yan Hong has always been rigid and serious, seeing his son Yan Zhen's abnormal behavior, he couldn't help showing a sad look on his face, but he still didn't say anything, shook his head and helped his wife go back to the house to rest.

Before dawn, the Yuannan County Examination Center was already crowded with people. The annual Tongsheng County Examination is a big event in a small county.

Candidates from big and small families are carried by servants with lanterns, while poor children can only line up obediently, tightly wearing thin spring shirts, praying for an early opening.

"Yan Zhen, you won't be the last one to hand in the paper. If you can't do it, forget it." A family member saw Yan Zhen coming, and joked.

The other disciples who knew each other also looked at each other and smiled, making fun of Yan Zhen with a mocking tone.

In fact, the relationship between the father and son of the tiger is too enviable. Strictly speaking in this small circle, Yan Zhen's family background is the best.

Yan Hong was born as a top-ranked Jinshi and served as a censor. He was upright and out of character, so he was excluded and dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

However, it is such an old man, but his son is ignorant and can do everything, but he can't study well, so he is well-known in the upper circles of the county.

Facing the ridicule and ridicule, Yan Zhen turned a blind eye to it, holding his breath in his heart, he must pass the exam to surprise them.

The next step is to go according to the process, enter the venue by roll call, sing the guarantee, take a seat, post the test questions on the board, and start answering the questions.

The topic is "The People's Sufficiency, What Is Insufficient", Yan Zhen's eyes lit up when he saw this topic, he might have to think about what others said, but he could immediately remember what Yan Zi said.

Not for anything else, just because the surname is Yan. This was Yan Zhen's very simple idea when he was studying the Analects.

"In the article that the land master instilled in me, there happened to be a stereotyped article with this sentence." Yan Zhen searched his memory, and immediately picked up a pen to start writing, no drafts, no need.

"The people are richer than the bottom, and the king is richer than the top..." In less than half an hour, an eloquent stereotyped essay appeared on the paper, breaking the theme and inheriting the theme. The conclusion is extremely refined.

The next step is to test post poems, which Chen Yao did not instill in Yan Zhen, but Yan Zhen does not like to read rigid scriptures, so he can still write a few poems.

In the unspoken rules of the county examination, crafting determines everything, and the test post poems are just incidental. After all, no one will believe how good a poem you want to write as a person who has not studied.

When Yan Zhen handed over the neatly written test papers to the county magistrate Zou Wenyu in advance, Zou Wenyu was very surprised, knowing that other candidates were still transcribing from drafts.

Zou Wenyu had actually heard about Yan Zhen's reputation of being "difficult to study", but now it seems that it is all groundless. How could the son of a top-ranked Jinshi not study well.

"Go ahead, it won't be hard for you to come to the county for the exam." Zou Wenyu just glanced at the writing on the test paper and counted it, and said very gently to Yan Zhen.

In fact, if Yan Zhen really studied hard, relying on his handwriting skills he had acquired since he was a child, his road to the imperial examination would not be too disturbing, because he did learn a little bit of Yan Hong's handwriting.

Although the county examination also adopts anonymous transcripts, it is not so strict. Those who submit the papers in advance can usually get it, because those who do this often have real talents and knowledge, and the county magistrate has already seen the handwriting.

A few days later, the county examination released the list. Although Yan Zhen was not the top of the case, he was also "the top ten in the county".

Originally, there were many people who didn't participate in the four games after seeing Yan Zhen, thinking that he had given up, but they didn't expect that they were sure early on, so they sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Even those family members who wanted to read jokes couldn't read them, because the desk and the "Top Ten in the County" art articles were all posted, and who dared to say that they were better than Yan Zhen's articles.

The county magistrate Zou Wenyu was also a top-ranked Jinshi, so there was no point in currying favor with Yan Hong who was dismissed from office, Yan Zhen had real talent and learning.

Even Yan Zhen's article has the appearance of being the leader of the case, just to avoid suspicion, and the article of the leader of the case is also excellent, so Yan Zhen was not selected as the leader of the case.

Because the head of the case can generally become a scholar, the examiner behind will have to give face to the county magistrate. This is also an unspoken rule of the imperial examination, and he, Yan Hong, dare not make such a guarantee.

"Grandpa Land, I won the prize. In order to repay your kindness and virtue, I specially bought good sandalwood and burned it for you." Following Yan Zhen's prayer, Chen Yao also saw a handful of sandalwood in the incense burner. The incense was burning, and the unique fragrance made him feel refreshed.

In fact, believers can generate incense vows whether they burn incense or not.

This baby has a future and is worth cultivating. Chen Yao sighed silently in his heart, and the first chess piece that entered the county was considered a success.

That night, Chen Yao once again sent an oracle in a dream, asking Yan Zhen to spread the belief of the land god in a low-key manner. If he can make meritorious deeds, he will realize another wish of his.
