Cao Yunda, a "beautiful official" who was not in power and had a noble academic position, was suddenly asked to take the exam. No one, including Jin Zuchun, expected it.

After all, each faction has already selected candidates and roughly arranged the thirty-three Jinshi places. Maybe they have even collected the money, and then suddenly they say that the examiner has been replaced, which is a big deal.

In the bureaucracy of East Asia, it is not necessary to be a Jinshi to be a high-ranking official, but a Jinshi background must be the most complimented and respected in the officialdom.

Di Qing's illustrious martial arts in the Northern Song Dynasty was well known. Just because he was not a Jinshi, even though he was a general manager and a high-ranking official. Han Qi also killed his subordinates in front of him. When Di Qing said that Jiao Yong was a good man who killed enemies, Han Qi said bluntly:

The Jinshi who are called outside the Huamen are the good men.

Zuo Zongtang in the late Qing Dynasty was just a civil servant. Although there were rumors that he passed the Jinshi examination, one of the places in Hunan was given up, so he was crossed out. By the time he had become the Imperial Envoy and the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu,

Others also laughed at him and said that all the great achievements he had made in his life were useless. If he was not a Jinshi, he would not be able to be regarded as a "literary" after his death.

No matter who laughed at him and attacked him, they made Zuo Zongtang completely angry and wanted to give up his career. In the end, it was Cixi who took the initiative and gave him a Jinshi background, which calmed Zuo Zongtang, who was already a minister of the Governor-General's Department at the time.

Come down. Otherwise, he will have to take the imperial examination when he is old and strive to be a Jinshi.

In the Li Dynasty, Li Shujiu was full of people in the palace just now, but no one dared to compete with others. It was because they were either Jinshi or inferior.

Later, when the powerful Xingxuan Courtyard Prince Li Gangying was not yet prosperous, his eldest son Li Zaimian, who later became King Li Xing and Li Xi, also wanted to be a Jinshi and shine on his family.

In order to let his son pass the exam, Li Gangying spent hundreds of money to bribe Nan Bingzhe, the examiner at the time. He didn't value his money at all. Finally, Li Gangying went to Jin Zuchun's grandson Jin Bingji, hoping that he would come forward to pass the exam.

For such a Jinshi, Li Gang should pawn all his family's property, including his wife's dowry, and send it to Jin Bingji's house. He was told "I understand, go back."

In the end, Li Zaimian did win the imperial examination, but he, a true royal family member of the Li family in Quanzhou, had to be so humble and begging for help in order to become a Jinshi. You know how difficult it was to win a Jinshi in the Li Dynasty.

Either your family is powerful enough to allow the examiner to pass the exam for you. Otherwise, even if you have a lot of money, people won't want your money. Compared with money, a Jinshi title is given to others.

Two powerful teams are no more than a luxurious gift.

This year's Renxu Branch was too sudden and completely beyond everyone's expectations.

It is really possible that there will be rare fairness and justice, because Cao Yunda did not have time to agree to anyone's passing, nor did he receive any requests.

The sentence from the palace official, "Since you are a Jinshi, you shall take charge of the examination!" hit him like a big pie, catching him off guard.

Now the hospital has been locked up, no one is allowed to enter, and family members and servants of each family are not allowed to enter the hospital. Only luggage and packages are allowed to be sent, and these will be opened and inspected to prevent entrapment.

There was no way to make a code mark or send a message. It was almost impossible to contact Superintendent Cao.

Those who came to participate were all the children of the two classes, as well as the extremely rare middle-aged and good people. Who should we choose? What if the Pu family chose the Jin family? What should we do if the Zhao family chose the Pu family?

Hong Dashou estimated that Cao Yunda must be extremely regretful now, why didn't he let all the men in his family come to take the exam?

Anyway, you are going to offend someone, so why not arrange for all your brothers, nephews and nephews to come up? The Li Dynasty does not like to avoid being listed in the fifth server. If you avoid the examiner, you will not be able to pass the imperial examination. Big families are all married,

Either uncle or uncle.

But these are not the point. The point is that Min Tinghye and his younger brother Min Jinghye have not mentioned him!

If Min Jinghye could remember Hong Dashou, he would just prepare a thank-you banquet. Hong Dashou would have all the money for the exam, as well as the money that the mid-term examination candidates should give to the examiners.

"Prince, I wonder if your brother knows about the students?"

"Don't worry, he'll save it!" Min Tingyou touched the beard on his chin, looking like he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand.

"That's good, that's good! The Superintendent's kind student will never be forgotten in this life!"

"There's still more than half a month left, so go back and practice calligraphy. Don't do what he wants anymore."

"That's how it should be! That's how it should be!"

In the Qing Dynasty next door, today's imperial examinations have begun to look at how well the characters are written. If the characters are written very well and the content is slightly poor, you may win the exam. If the characters are written very poorly but the content is okay, then it will be very good.

It may be eliminated directly.

This trend became even worse after Daoguang, and even reached the point of being picky. There should not be a single stain or modification on the large rolls (big rolls for masters, white folds for imperial exams), and they must be in regular small regular script, otherwise they will directly miss the mid-level examination.

Li Chao is not so exaggerated here, but it is not enough to write casually. In the final analysis, it still needs meticulous regular script to be considered qualified.

Hong Dashou is a simple and ordinary person. He does not dare to go against the imperial examinations of the second class in the world for the time being, and just goes home to practice calligraphy.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, the snow has long since disappeared, willows are sprouting, and there are even birds chirping in the courtyard.

March is here, and Li Dynasty's Renxu Ke Jinshi Literary Examination has come as scheduled.

Han Sanshi, who had been hiding for a month and a half, finally came back to Hong Dashou. Not only did he come back, but he also brought back twenty-two thousand taels of cash issued by Pu Zhouming, the merchant of Daantengsong.

According to the pre-distribution principle of 451, Hong Dashou and Jin Douji divided the account, and Hong Dashou went to participate in the Jinshi Department with great ambition.

Since there are not too many questions in the exam, there is no need to take three consecutive exams, each lasting three days. The Li Dynasty exam was held in the large square in front of Changgyeonggung Palace, where thousands or even tens of thousands of straw mats were placed for students to

The members sat on the ground.

Then it’s up to you whether you use your arms to write the case, or you just put the test paper on the ground with your butt stuck out and answer the paper, it doesn’t matter.

There is no exam hall, it’s just open air, answer the question!

It’s hard to imagine what to do if it rains heavily and is windy. But according to records, the days of the imperial examinations have rarely been delayed due to weather. It may have something to do with the season. There is not so much rain in early spring, and the cold Siberian winds are strong.

Withdrew.

After Hong Dashou checked the list of the Fourth Patriarch and the recommendation of the township class, he was also led to a mat. Unexpectedly, he went wrong. On both sides of the middle royal road were banners with the words "Heaven and Earth" and "The Universe" written in yellow, according to the Thousand-Character Classic.

Separate rows and columns.

What kind of business you will do in the future depends on what happens today.
