Chapter One Hundred and Three The Great Ceremony
While Li Jia was wasting time on Danluo Island, the whole of Panyu became lively again.
Enko began after the new emperor ascended the throne.
The imperial examinations in Wuhan were followed by the Tang Dynasty, and they usually only had two subjects of Jinshi, and the rest were all miscellaneous.
Different from the selection of prefectures and counties between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Southern Han Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and each local prefecture and county had a fixed number of places. Generally speaking, as long as one’s life experience is innocent, if one’s knowledge is required, the prefecture and county officials should be personally evaluated. They are called township tribute.
There are also students in the Imperial College, who can directly take the imperial examination held by the Shangshu Province without the need for assessment. They are called "students", so the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was also called "provincial examination".
The imperial examination was held by the Shangshu Province. There was a three-year rotation of the imperial examination. Unlike the review of the examiners of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examination can determine whether you are admitted or not. Even the emperor cannot directly choose.
Due to the lack of ambiguous system, the fairness of the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty was widely questioned and almost became a game for the powerful.
Even some people come from poor families, in order not to fail the exam, pretend to be gimmicks and read their own articles in the public, and they will win the results, so as to force each other to learn about the tribute, but they must have real talents and knowledge, otherwise it will be easy to mess up.
What's more, when Hua Qianguan went to the gambling house, he said that someone would fail the exam, and he vaguely revealed that he had a conflict with the tutor and the tutor and the tutor and the tutor and the tutor and the tutor and the tutor and the tutor and the tutor and the tutor and the tutor should take into account their fame.
However, the commonly used method is the running script. For example, Bai Juyi's poem "Fu Deyuan Cao" was submitted to Lao Gu Kuang and recommended it to Zhigong to be able to pass the test. This explicit unspoken rule is also called the running script.
You said that the princesses of the Tang Dynasty had such great power, but it was not because they could recommend their favorite juren to Zhigong Ju, thereby expanding their influence.
After getting into the imperial examination, you still need to participate in the Ministry of Personnel’s election exam. There are more tricks. It doesn’t matter. You just wait for the rest of your life to be an alternate official. For example, after Han Yu passed the Jinshi exam, he failed the three election exams and had to serve as an aide to the Jiedushi before entering the officialdom.
As Enke, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he attracted the attention of the entire Lingnan. Hundreds of juren came to Panyu just to pass the exam and become officials.
"Brother Yaming, how did you do yesterday's exam?" As soon as Wang Chongshan left the room, an intimate name came from his ear. He looked up and found that he was Li Huai from Nanhai County with him. He was dressed in silk and generous. He was famous among the juren who participated in the imperial examination at the same time.
"Brother Tongbai!" Wang Chongshan nodded helplessly:
"The entire 60 states of the Han Dynasty have only more than ten Jinshi students, so I have no hope!"
"Oh! My good brother is humble, he has no calculations in miscellaneous subjects. He has only more than twenty people in the Mingjing subject. The Xingwang Mansion occupies more than half. Nanhai County is a place with a strong literary style in Xingwang Mansion. My good brother will win!"
Li Huai looked at the famous fellow villager with a very jealous look, but his face was filled with joy.
After hearing this, Wang Chongshan also became expectant and his nervous mood relaxed a lot. I think it was true that the Han Dynasty inherited the Tang system and the Guanzhong Juren admitted every year often accounted for more than half. The Han Dynasty was naturally no exception, and the Xingwang Mansion was at the forefront.
I remember that my country attaches importance to Jinshi, and most of the prime ministers in the court are from Jinshi. If I pass the imperial examination, my future will be promising. I think my wife and children at home are extremely happy!
"But my brother must be careful. I heard that the saint had just succeeded to the throne and had clearly ordered the officials of the sixth rank and above to enter the silkworm chamber first before they could be awarded an official!" Li Huai said worriedly again at this time.
"No need to worry, the Jinshi is the prime minister, how can it be so insulting?" At this time, Fan Di, a talented man from Nanhai County, came out and was famous for his child prodigy since he was a child. This time, Enko was the most famous of him and Tang Chongshan. The odds in the gambling house were the lowest.
"Brother Tongbai thought he didn't know the importance of the Jinshi class. In the fourth year of Qianheng (920), there were only ten Jinshi class. Now there are eight prime ministers!" Speaking of this, everyone around him sighed unconsciously that the Jinshi class was truly a step ahead, but since the Ming Jing class heard that several people were ranked among the prime ministers.
Unlike Tang Chongshan who is in his thirties, Fan Di, who is only eighteen years old this year, is arrogant and arrogant, with a look of sure win.
"What Fan Prodigy said is not bad, and it is definitely not like this in the Jinshi class!"
"Yes, how can the talent of the Prime Minister be like this?"
The surrounding juren also kept echoing.
"Everyone, today the imperial list is issued. Let's take a break for a while. I will send my servants to see the list. You will not fall behind. Wait for a moment, and there will be a reporter coming to see you off!" Li Huai smiled on his face and asked everyone to sit down.
The anxious juren thanked them one after another. Sitting on the chair, like an ant on a hot pan, the tea in front of him was changed after another, but it was still unknown.
Smack sex-
Half an hour later, the sound of drums and gongs was heard in front of the inn, and then a servant ran upstairs panting and shouted:
"Mr. Tang Chongshan, from Nanhai County, is a high school student, and Mr. Fan Di and Mr. Fan of the same county are also ranked second, and Mr. Zhang Xian and Mr. Zhang from Fengzhou are ranked first in the Jinshi!"
The servant used three names in a row, but there was no news about his husband. Li Huai smiled awkwardly:
"Brother Tang, Brother Fan, Brother Zhang, and Jinshi, are really a Jinshi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he went upstairs by gongs and drums.
"Congratulations to Mr. Tang Chongshan, Nanhai County, for his high school appearance, he will come back and be ranked in the priest hall!"
There were more than a dozen people who reported the good news, beating drums and gongs happily, and then taking out big hands.
Tang Chongshan was stunned, Li Huai smiled and waved his hand. A box of copper coins was put out, and a hanging copper coins were dazzled.
After a while, a box of copper coins disappeared.
Then, there were two more waves of people who reported the good news. The entire inn was instantly boiling. I never thought that a small inn would give birth to three Jinshi. It was truly the focus of Wenquxing in the sky!
"Three masters, our store is ready for the top banquet, just waiting for the three of you to take the seat!" The shopkeeper hurriedly ran out, bent over and said respectfully, and the smile on his face couldn't stop rippling.
In the palace, it seemed that the imperial examination was released, and the whole palace was extremely lively. The little emperor was in a very good mood. The flower baskets woven with pearls were extremely beautiful.
"Who is Enko this time?" Liu Xun asked while admiring his masterpiece.
"Your Majesty, this time I am taking the lead, Tang Chongshan, a juren from Nanhai County. His talent is well-known throughout the country. I think he deserves it!" Gong Chengshu bent over and said softly.
"Such talent? Isn't it a pity?" Liu Xun asked and answered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If you pass on the message, from now on, anyone who wants to be a court official from Jinshi to the post must first be eunuched. If you have no possessions and want to obtain an official position, you will be eunuched by the court."
"This..." Gong Chengshu was a little shocked. This is the guarantee of the long-term stability of the country!
