Chapter 1091 examination room farce

The three-year imperial examination was very important to the Ming Dynasty in the past and was a first-class event.

But this time, both the court, the scholars in the imperial examination, or the scholars in the scholars seemed a little "quiet", and there was no such enthusiasm and attention as in the past that surpassed everything and the whole people paid attention to.

The cabinet that took six or seven months, the two main halls of the Grand Marshal's Mansion were finally built.

The Nine Second Bureaus of the Grand Marshal's Mansion were moving from Wucheng Pavilion to the built hall, and everyone was busy and excited at the same time.

The newly built Grand Marshal's Mansion Hall has three floors, tall and magnificent, with marble bricks everywhere, black and white, giving people a sense of majesty, domineering, and unsurpassed majestic.

Sun Chuanting of the cabinet was also busy with people's command, moving from Wenzhao Pavilion to the newly built cabinet hall.

This hall does not have the "strong" feeling of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, but is more of a "literati" atmosphere. It has three floors, pavilions, towers, carved accessories, carved beams and painted buildings, which are neither luxurious nor low-key.

Zheng Youyuan was busy inside and out. After a while, he ran over and said, "Sir, the top one is the emperor, the Silijian and other internal officials. The middle one is to be used for the meeting. The first floor is for our cabinet. Now the cabinet masters' class rooms, utensils, staff, etc. are almost complete. You can notify the Silijian to start moving."

Sun Chuanting stood outside the hall, looked at the cabinet hall, and glanced at the Grand Marshal's Mansion not far away. This palace and one hall would hold all the rights of the Ming Dynasty!

Behind the concentration of power, the Qianqing Palace is reflected!

Sun Chuanting saw many things, thought to himself, and said to Zheng Youyuan: "Well, please inform the Silijian and send a message to the outside world, and ask the six ministers, ministers and others to come to recognize the door."

Zheng Youyuan responded and turned around and went busy again.

At this moment, internal supervision agencies such as the Silijian, Qianqing Palace, etc. are also cleaning up.

"The third floor, please be careful of the door signs. These memorials and documents should not be missed. Be careful not to be scattered!"

"These utensils belong to the emperor, and there is also a small living room there, don't let them go..."

"I don't want a palace maid, what kind of palace maid you want, the emperor doesn't need it..."

"Be careful, that is the emperor's favorite little stove. I broke it and peeled your skin!"

Some of the officials in the Sili Supervisor were yelling in a hurry, and they were going to move to the upper floor of the cabinet hall.

Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin held hands and watched from the side. Perhaps they had exercised, their faces were calm and they had no extra emotions at all.

After a while, Liu Shimin glanced at Cao Huachun and said, "There are some rumors in the outer court that he wants to abolish the Sili Supervisory Commission or merge it with the cabinet. Can you hear it?"

Cao Huachun turned his head and looked at him, saying, "The outer court can't interfere in the palace."

The current Silijian is no longer as grand as the "small cabinet" of the past, and it is more transparent in the entire Ming Dynasty and the whole court and the country. This is also one of the reasons why the adults in the outer court submitted a memorial to abolish the Silijian.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty made strict regulations on eunuchs since its founding, especially after experiencing Tumu Fort, the government and the public suppressed internal surveillances very strongly, and they hated them as human beings. Civil officials hated internal surveillances from the bottom of their hearts, which was the fundamental reason.

Seeing that Cao Huachun was talking more easily, Liu Shimin nodded and said, "The inner court has been a little uneasy recently, so I need to make some comfort."

As the chief supervisor of the internal affairs department, Cao Huachun naturally knew it and said, "Well... the emperor intends to move most of the internal affairs department's internal affairs department and put them in the external affairs department to do things. When they get older, they will release them. In the future, the internal affairs department will no longer enter the internal affairs department."

Liu Shimin had known about this for a long time that Zhu Xu stopped castration at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and no new people have come in the past eight years, and this time it was just a formal decision.

Liu Shimin thought about the impact and possible disadvantages, and said, "You should take it slowly. The outer court is now in a panic and cannot stimulate them."

Cao Huachun looked at the busy inmate and said, "You can do this matter. Is there anything special about the imperial examination?"

This matter looked calm on the outside, but for some reason, Cao Huachun always felt a little uneasy.

Liu Shimin shook his head and said, "As long as the Qinhuai River is calm, there will be no trouble in other places. Most of the people who sign up for the exam this time are from the Zhengyuan or take the exam, so you should be worry-free."

Cao Huachun thoughtfully. Nan Zhili killed so many people this time, and few people could jump out again, which gave the imperial examination a peaceful space.

When the inner and outer courts moved to the two newly built halls, the imperial examinations were in full swing.

The Royal Court, several teaching buildings, etc. were banned, and the classroom was filled with current sectarians.

The method of this imperial examination is different from the past, and the test questions are completely different. The students of the Royal Court were vigorous and the writing was as if they were gods. However, the scholars outside the Royal Court looked confused when they looked at the test papers.

There are no test questions, no classics, no poetry, and more "scientific and engineering" in "science and engineering", and some simple government affairs knowledge, economic laws, etc.

The students of the Royal Court are naturally very comfortable and are busy answering questions, but some people outside are completely unable to answer.

Even if some people have read a lot of miscellaneous books and can only understand them at all, they still cannot answer the questions. The brush held in their hands cannot be left behind.

"What kind of question is this..." Suddenly, a young man sweated profusely and said with a wry smile. He worked hard for more than ten years and waited for this time, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and he was full of bitterness.

He was originally a kind of despair of self-deprecation, but it immediately resonated with others. A scholar threw his pen and stood up and shouted, "What kind of question is this? It is clearly a fool to us! When did such test questions exist in all dynasties!"

"That's right! The court fooled us and stopped taking the exam!"

"No more exam!"

"No more exam!"

Some scholars threw away their pens, some kicked down chairs, and some directly overturned the table, clamoring.

The invigilator was a professor in the Royal Court. He was not in a hurry or in a mess. He watched five or six people making noises and immediately shook the bell on the table.

In fact, he had not shaken yet. A team of guards guarding the Royal Court came in. The leader looked around and said coldly: "You have violated the examination regulations, come with us now!"

As he said that, a group of soldiers rushed in, holding their waist knife in their hands, and were murderous.

These troublemakers were angry and shouted even more: "What kind of test questions are clearly prepared for them... Why don't we, they can!"

"This is a fraud in favoritism and fraud, and it is a protection for officials. You are all in the same group!"

"What is fairness and justice are all fake. We are still not allowed to take the exam, and we still have to rush us!"

The team leader would not listen to their nonsense and said lightly: "Take them away and leave them to the examination director of the Ministry of Personnel for disposal."

The team of soldiers rushed over like wolves and tigers. All the troublemakers were pressed down and dragged them out, no matter how loud they shouted and snatched the sky and the earth.

They were all pulled away, and the examination room calmed down, but the remaining people looked at each other, a little unnatural.

The invigilator stood on the stage and comforted him: "Anyone must abide by the invigilator order and must not cause chaos. Otherwise, the examination qualification will be cancelled and handed over to the main examination of the Ministry of Personnel. Continue the examination."

The scholars in the exam then relaxed and buried their heads in answering questions again.

There are a total of forty classrooms in a building for exams. From time to time, people are taken out of the room, and then taken out to the main building, the temporary class room for the main examination of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Maliciously slander the court, do not follow the examination discipline, have no character or virtue. How can such a person enter the court to become an official and ask for the people? All records are recorded and banned for the examination for three years to observe the results!"

The head of the Ministry of Personnel clapped the case and decided, and the notice was posted directly outside the gate of the Royal Court. All the scholars who were banned from taking the exam were driven out.

These scholars were already angry, but now they are getting more and more angry.

"Bah! The people who divide the people are just playing tricks on us, and they have already decided!"

"That's right! All the test questions are inexplicable, and the questions are leaked! They must have leaked!"

"Selling official positions and titles! This is not the first time the court has done this! What are the "new policies" and the "new imperial examinations" are all fake, and they fool us!"

"I won't take the exam anymore, I won't take the exam in my life!"

"We won't take the exam anymore. Let's take a look at what this court can get!"

"The ancestor system does not exist, and all the ways are destroyed. Alas, how sad is Taizu Taizong's spirit in heaven!"

Zhao Han was in the Royal Court at this moment, standing next to Song Yingxing. The two of them looked at the noisy at the gate, with different expressions.

After they were driven away by the guards, Zhao Han shook his head and said, "Hundreds of boats compete for the current, the waves wash away the sand, and eliminate corruption and preserve the clearness, just like this."

Song Yingxing studied the most "science" and was more rational, saying: "What the adults said is. I just hope that they can wake up in the past three years. Now they are not old and there is still time."

As the Minister of Personnel, Zhao Han grew up in an official family since childhood. He knew the best of the Shilin family, but directly denied it: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Things are not decided by them themselves. This is the case in the entire Ming Dynasty. If you want to reverse it, it will take only one year, or even ten or twenty years to achieve success."
