At this time, the whole exam had only been going on for less than a quarter of an hour. The examinees who could do the morality part were basically those who had given up on the classics part. Some of them were former students of the School of Mathematics and Mathematics. Of course, there were also people from other states and counties. This was because Cheng Chumo from the School of Mathematics and Mathematics was not the only one who didn't know about classics.
However, this part of the exam seemed simple, but it was full of traps.
"The first question, which city do you think you would prefer to live in? A, Qiongzhou B, Xiangzhou C, Bingzhou D, Luoyang E, Chang 'an. "
"The second question, if you could be one of the following creatures, which one would you like to be? A, Cat B, Horse C, Elephant D, Monkey E, Dog F, Tiger. "
This kind of question had never appeared in the Tang Empire. It made the examinees confused. Many of them were confused and thought, "These choices don't seem to be different! It seems that you can choose anything! Is it really like the question said? There is no right or wrong choice for each choice? You can choose anything? "
It was not that these students were incompetent, but Li Zexuan was too cunning. He gave everyone a psychological misdirection at the beginning.
"Oh! Master's intention of these questions should be to test the examinees' character. Then what kind of character does Yanhuang College need? I think as long as I can figure this out, then these questions will definitely be able to get a high score! "
Iron Egg thought silently in his heart as he bit the end of his pen. After a while, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I understand! The first question must be Chang 'an. Chang' an is full of talents. Although there is more pressure here, there are more opportunities and more challenges to one's ability. Yanhuang College definitely needs such students who are not afraid of difficulties and face them head-on!
As for the second question, it's even simpler. Whether it's a person or something else, they must be the most powerful existence. How can they just be a cat or a dog? Of course, I'll choose a tiger! "
After finding out the purpose of Li Zexuan's questions, Iron Egg did this part of the questions smoothly without any pause. Therefore, he only used an hour to finish these twenty multiple-choice questions. At this moment, there were still more than two hours before the end of the exam, so Iron Egg was completely depressed.
On the other side, Cheng Chumo seemed to have figured out something. He didn't think as much as the Iron Egg. Anyway, he would choose whichever option was awesome, domineering, and most similar to Li Zexuan's personality. Based on these principles, he was able to do it smoothly. He finished almost at the same time as the Iron Egg.
However, the examinees from the other states and counties were not as lucky as them. Many of them had chosen answer A and were debating whether or not answer B was more appropriate. Most of the time, once they got tangled up, the original correct answer would be changed into a wrong answer. Moreover, the process of solving the question would be bumpy, which would greatly affect the speed of solving the question.
Perhaps some people would say that this kind of question was unfair to the examinees from other places, but was it really unfair?
On the one hand, the students from the School of Mathematics had never come across this kind of question. Cheng Chumo, Iron Egg, and the others completely relied on their own comprehension to figure out the trick to solving the question. On the other hand, at the beginning of the question, Li Zexuan had explained that the examinees should choose according to their own real situation. If there were examinees who had strong willpower, a calm mind, a strong desire to lead, a strong ambition, and a personality that wouldn't give up until they achieved their goals, then they could fill in the question according to their real thoughts and get a high score!
The purpose of Li Zexuan's set of questions was to select a group of students with good temperament for Yanhuang College. How was it unfair ~? Moreover, what in the world could be absolutely fair ~?
It was undeniable that Cheng Chumo, Iron Egg, and the others were opportunistic because they might not be completely in line with this kind of personality. However, sometimes opportunism and improvisation were also a kind of personal ability. They were opportunistic within the rules, so who could say anything?
"Oh … Hand in the paper! Let's not waste time! "
When there were only two hours left before the exam, Iron Egg stood up resolutely, walked to the podium, handed the paper to the invigilator, and left the classroom.
Most of the students from the School of Mathematics were in the seventh examination room. After seeing Iron Egg handing in his paper, Cheng Chumo also handed in his paper in advance. He felt that he wouldn't be able to solve the Confucian classics section even if he was given another year. It was better to hand it in early and go home for lunch. After all, the mathematics exam in the afternoon was the most important one for him.
Yes, you heard it right. Mathematics was now Cheng Chumo's best subject.
After Cheng Chumo, some students also handed in their papers one after another. There were Wang Meng, Yu Dongcai, Kong Quancun, Song Tianyou, Jiang Wenchang, Bi Hongyuan, and other second-generation officials from the School of Mathematics. There were also a few students from other provinces and counties. It seemed that these people were not proficient in Confucian classics.
As for Li Tai, Meng Wenhao, Ke Shiqing, Zeng Ziran, and other top students in the School of Mathematics, they were not as uncultured as Cheng Chumo. Therefore, at this time, they had just finished the moral character section.
Cough, cough. It had to be said that Sun Zi Fan, this little fatty, under the "influence" of his father who was the number one scholar, knew a thing or two about Confucian classics. At the very least, out of the twelve Confucian classics questions, there were seven or eight that he knew the answers to. Of these seven or eight questions, at least four of them he knew how to answer.
"Virgo, you brat, why are you out so soon?"
Li Zexuan, who had just finished patrolling the various examination rooms, saw Cheng Chumo's back as soon as he went downstairs. It seemed that this guy was preparing to leave the School and go home. He hurriedly called out to Cheng Chumo and said.
Cheng Chumo stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Li Zexuan. He said in a bad mood, "If I don't come out so soon, do you think I'll wait for the New Year inside? It's not like you don't know that I, Old Cheng, am not good at those things, right? "
Li Zexuan walked over at this time and asked with a smile, "So you're saying that you're very good at the second half of the moral character test?"
Cheng Chumo narrowed his eyes and laughed very proudly. He said, "Hey! Xiaoxuan, you must think that those questions of yours can stump me, right? Haha! Let me tell you, there's no way this time! Hahaha, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I have to go home and recharge my energy. This afternoon is the subject I'm best at. This time, I'll definitely be able to get into Yanhuang College ~! "
After saying that, this guy waved his hand and disappeared in a flash.
Li Zexuan was stunned for a while. He didn't know what medicine this guy took and where he got his confidence from. Moreover, because of Cheng Chumo, even if this time Cheng Chumo didn't do well in the exam, Li Zexuan would use special means to recruit him into the School. Now it seemed that he could save this step.
Cheng Chumo, who thought that he had jumped out of Li Zexuan's trap, did not know that he had fallen into another trap of Li Zexuan's.
