The so-called examination paper means that the candidates should write the poems and essays into a scroll before the examination and send them to the dignitaries in the court to extend their reputation. In addition to reading the examination papers in detail, Zhi Gongju and other examination officials have the right to refer to the examination papers.

He Caiyu decided to get it.

In politics, people with status in the literary world and those who have a particularly close relationship with the examiner can recommend talents and participate in determining the ranking of the list, which is called the "general list".

Therefore, in order to increase the possibility of passing the exam and strive for ranking, people who took the exam often edited their daily poems and wrote them into scrolls, and submitted them to high-status people before the exam for recommendation. This became a trend after that, which was called "xingjuan".

In the imperial examination, the name was not obscured in the Rites examination, but was used in the official examination after passing the examination. This made the general list play an important role, and it was also one of the manifestations of the unfairness of the imperial examination.

In the imperial examinations, those who rely on the top rankings are either the underprivileged children of noble families, or the disciples of famous ministers. It is normal for seniority to be ranked according to seniority, with the older ones suppressing the younger ones.

Let's put it this way! The so-called talent and learning are actually relative. First of all, if you pass the test, you will fend off most opponents. If you compete in a small range, the chance of winning will be greatly increased. Changsun Chong knows many of his peers.

, all got into official positions in this way.

In the early years of Zhenguan, the sage divided the imperial examination into two rankings: scholar and concubine. The scholar ranking was still based on the general ranking, while the competition in the concubine ranking was relatively fair.

However, in recent years, some people have focused on the concubine list and influenced the examination by collecting the papers. The successful candidates are often recruited as sons-in-law by wealthy families and high-ranking officials. This no longer means the saying of "little success before big success".

Changsun Chong came from a humble background and has been successful for many years. Of course I know how difficult it is to take the imperial examination. But after sitting in the small hall for a few days, I know less about the inside story. There are so few twists and turns, which is unusual for a child of a common family.

If you can pass the exam at the age of 10, it is regarded as a sign of merit for your ancestors.

Therefore, after you passed the exam, Chang Sun Chong immediately announced the new rules for this year's exam, implementing a name-blinding system throughout the process, and adding seven inspection items. All officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy who have not received the exam papers must participate in the invigilation of the exam.

Marking.

"Everyone, they must be careless and perfunctory!"

Wei Huanzhi, the right servant, saw the various expressions of the officials, coughed twice, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I am telling them some bad news. Last night, Hongwen Palace received the prince's order and ordered Xiaoli Temple to arrest one of the eight provinces.

Eighteen people are engaged in writing."

The officials in the main hall who had received too many papers started to sigh. What we had received were only papers, not to mention many disciples and old officials, and no gifts from relatives.

The first is to add the palace examination, in which the emperor or prince will personally set the questions and personally invigilate the examination, and the temporarily designated important ministers will review it and announce the results.

"Look at me! Look, I made a mistake yesterday and got kicked in the face! Take this as a warning, do it and cherish it!"

But the prince is serious. If I rub sand out of my eyes, this nobleman will suffer. Alas, there is nothing I can do. Who let the saint choose such a weak prince?

In addition, the renovation of Gongyuan has not yet been completed. Wei Huanchong does not care whether there are many items that have been completed. Ten days, only the first ten days. If it was completed ten days ago, I have to go there with my head high.

Meet the prince.

Oh, that’s right! Changsun Chong, who walked behind the door, also added to us that this year’s quiz is the same as in the past. The prince has issued a decree and placed two things at the entrance of the Gongyuan, one is a green official robe, and the other is a green official robe.

The same thing is a coffin.

Comparing people with each other makes people mad! There is no way to compare with people who are born outside the blessings. But my minister said that, and we must pay attention to it, otherwise it will be a big thing to lose one's official position, and a small thing to lose one's head.

From the end of the primary examination to the end of the examination, a sentry was set up behind each examination booth, and a hundred cavalry soldiers were responsible for guarding it. Day and night, there were eight shifts of guard changes. Whether we were writing, sleeping, eating, or whether the examiner was sealing papers,

It must be under the supervision of Baiqi.

Yu Baoning, my brother Yu Zhining, you are a young man from Hongwen Palace. I naturally speak in a familiar tone. All the officials looked at each other with timid expressions. The prince has always been a joker, so I have to be slow with my sword!

"There are no relatives or friends, no aunts or wives. But that person always has to think about himself. He can always take advantage of his own family because of other people's fame!"

Changsun Chong feels that he is very close to the people, but in the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, what he does and says is not a naked show of glory. I, Changsun Chong, am the prince's brother-in-law and uncle, and I have no close acquaintance with the prince.

There’s no one closer than us!

Changsun Chong hasn’t said the ugly words yet. Don’t seek death yourself. Later, you will blame me, the minister, for showing kindness and taking care of his own people. Baiqi’s Xu Shixu and Zhang Pinggao haven’t sharpened their knives yet. Who wants to seek death? This

Let’s bet on something bad.

Yu Baoning also sighed in his heart. In fact, doing such things as examination papers is basically cheating. The officialdom pays attention to harmony and support of seniors, and civil servants are like military generals who cannot perform military exploits. It is just that convenient.

There are inscriptions on the right and left of the small door: Please come to my office if you want to get promoted or make a fortune. If you are greedy for life and fear of death, do not enter this door. The temple should let everyone who has not heard of it understand why we are officials, and always reflect on ourselves: you have a salary, you have a salary, and the people anoint the people.

Zhi. As a parent, there is nothing more than kindness.

"I am also afraid to tell them that the prince has said that anyone who collects the examination papers and participates in marking them will be counted as cheating in the examination."

As the eldest son of the Changsun family, my wife is also a saint, and the prince’s eyeball is Princess Changle. Otherwise, would it be my turn to be the Minister of Rites and the important task of presiding over the exam?

But after I'm done, Changsun Chong promised that anyone who makes me a stumbling block and makes a profit by doing errands will definitely be thrown out of the imperial prison. I introduced you to where the imperial prison is, and everyone here should know it. In short, it's not the Ministry of Rites.

No matter whether you sleep or rest, you must also do your errands well.

But Wei Huanzhi is also worried that the gentry candidates whose vested interests have been harmed will cause trouble because of this. You must know that we not only have no background, but also are leaders among scholars. We are serious about making trouble...

The reason for taking us is very complicated. Those people bribed the eunuchs of Chengqing Palace and Xiande Palace in order to spy on the direction of this year's quiz. Although we did not get anything substantial, the intention is not clear yet, so we have to follow the leaks.

Exam questions ask questions.

We thought this year would be another year of fame and fortune, but who would have thought that after half a month away from taking the exam, something unexpected happened, and the order came directly from the prince, which made us feel powerful in our hearts. The return gift is big, but the loss of face is.

Xiao, how did we accept students before?

After sunset today, it is estimated that the Eighth Law Division will sign a document to arrest the eight clans of criminals. The crime of the Red clan, with rivers of blood flowing right behind your eyes, is just a joke! Therefore, the officials should be careful when doing their jobs and be cautious.
Chapter completed!
