Chapter 158: The Palace Examination

, 0m\\ Chu Mansion slowly recovered. And Chu Zhen never took this matter to heart. Naturally, it will not be affected much. Every time under the meticulous care of the first child. Study with peace of mind. Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the temple examination.

In fact, before the Song Dynasty. There has never been a temple test. After the scholars passed the examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites. Official positions can be conferred immediately. But when Song Taizu opened the treasure for six years. The newly admitted Jinshi went to the lecture hall to thank him. Through face-to-face conversations. Zhao Yin found that some of the new science and technology scholars had shallow knowledge. Panic when answering questions. Be far from the mark. He ordered them to be swept away. Afterwards. Those who were not admitted beat the drum again. sued the then Zhigong for selling favors. The trade-offs are unfair.

Zhao Yin immediately ordered Gong to report the man-made album that had failed after completing the three examinations. All of them were then summoned. More than 100 people were selected to send out the volume. In addition, there is another poetry test. Two days later. Zhao 1 Yin personally went to lecture on martial arts to review the test papers. Since then, the palace examination has become a necessary procedure for the imperial examination.

Early in the morning. On the occasion of the spring and summer holidays. Spring is bright. The sun is blazing. Chu Zhen got up early. Accept the blessings from the top and bottom of the Chu Mansion. Refuse to be accompanied by family members. With a little excitement. Walking alone towards the Imperial City Palace, which he had never set foot on before. The plan of the day begins in the morning. On both sides of Bianliang City Road. The past was bustling with people. Merchants and hawkers gathered. His face changed. Sadness or sorrow. Angry or happy. It's just that in Chu Qian's opinion, this Zhang Yuansheng's face is so cute and pleasing to the eye.

The Northern Song Dynasty Tokyo Bianliang City is based on the Tang Bianzhou Yacheng. Imitation of the Luo Palace remodeled. The scale and momentum have been greatly inferior to the Tang Dynasty, the palace city is divided by Donghuamen Hengjie, the north and south parts, and the southern central axis is built on the Daqing Dynasty. Later, the purple hall of the Japanese dynasty was built in the north. and on the west side a north-south axis. The southern part is the Wendeok Hall with the nature of the Japanese Dynasty. The north is a vertical arch hall with the nature of the Chang Dynasty, and the main gate of the palace is the Xuande Gate. The upper part consists of a frontal gatehouse. The corridor and the two wings of the multi-building through the corridor and the tower are composed.

There are more than 200 steps of royal street in front of Xuande Gate. There are royal railings on both sides of the road. The ditch is full of peach and plum lotus. The tributes who came to participate in the temple examination were gathered in the middle and waited here. The officials of the Ministry of Rites will teach the rules that should be paid attention to when entering the palace, so as not to cause any trouble without knowing the etiquette.

The early morning sun did not come. The Gongshi can't wait to come here. When a wisp of white light floats in the sky. This has gathered most of the tributes who participated in the temple examination. Although the number of people is large. But it's not very lively. Someone gathered in a whisper, stealing, and the private person simply leaned on the fence and closed his eyes to recuperate, reciting words in his mouth. People can't stand still, walking back and forth on the royal streets. He looked uneasy. Everyone's expressions were different. It cannot be generalized. When he came to Xuande Gate. only to realize that I should be one of the last people to come. If in normal times. I saw Chu Zhen coming. There must have been a few admirers who came to talk to him. Now at this special time. The tributes only raised their heads slightly and glanced at Chu Qian. Ignoring it in the slightest. Some didn't pay attention. Simply don't see it. Keep doing your own love.

Know why. As soon as I came here. Chu Zhen felt an invisible aura of tension. There is also a bit of a depressing feeling. The excitement and joy slowly turned into a heavy uneasiness.

"The view is here." A whispered call came.

Listen to the voice and know that it is Teng Maoshi. Chu Zhen hurriedly walked over there. The depressed mood seems to be soothing. More than ever, I feel Teng Maoshi at this time. It's so lovely.

"Jing Chun. Come like this. I guess it's in my chest. Teng Maoshi chuckled softly. The expression was very relaxed. There was a subtle trace of worry between his eyebrows.

"Needless to say. Jing Chun's voice is much stronger than that of me, the Huiyuan. Feng Jing smiled. His face was still so calm. "The champion must be the world. I just want to be a Jinshi. Others don't dare to expect extravagantly. Chu Zhen said seriously. You must know that Jinshi is also divided into grades. First list. It is called Jinshi and the first. The top three are the top winners. The second list is for the Jinshi background. The third list is from the same jinshi. The fourth and fourth list Jinshi was born. The level is not the same. The treatment is naturally different. The difference can be even more evident when the imperial court confers official positions.

It was better during the Song Dynasty. Although the number of people on the first list is small. But there are at least ten or twenty jinshi and first. Later Ming and Qing dynasties. There are only three Jinshi and No. 1 on the first list. They are the champions of the list of eyes. The others are all Jinshi backgrounds. It made the literati very depressed.

"Jing Chun is too modest." Feng Jing said with a smile: "The tribute who participated in the palace examination. Who doesn't want to be on the top list. It's better to get home. Before taking the exam. Who can guarantee their grades. ”

Feng Jing is also talking about the results of the actual imperial examination. Because there is no refinement standard for later generations. The quality of the grades is determined by the person. The test will be tested by the children's test

。 There are at least a few graders. Relatively fair to this. However, in the palace test, who is the champion is determined by the emperor himself. As long as it is the emperor's own will. Previous results can be invalidated, and you will be ranked accordingly. You can only admit it.

It is because of this variable. That's why the Gongshi are full of confidence. It is not affected by the results of the examination at all. As long as the article written is favored by the emperor. Even if it is the bottom in the examination. But he became the champion during the temple examination. That's something that is, too.

"Xiuying. I dare to assert that this temple examination is still the first in the world. If I'm wrong. Of course, admit punishment. Shell out for a treat. Restaurants are up to you. Chu Zhen smiled and said, "If I am right." Then what do you think the world should be?'"

"Needless to say. A banquet was set up on the upper floor to thank Jingchun's auspicious words. Teng Maoshi said with a chuckle. It has the meaning of falling into the well

"Jing Chun. Why are you more confident than I am? Feng Jing said with a smile. In his opinion. Chu Zhen did so. It's nothing more than to motivate yourself to have faith. Didn't care. Immediately readily agreed.。。

"In the world. These days you have eaten sparingly. "After high-fives and vows. Chu Zhen said with a grin.

"Each other, each other. You are. "I understand what Chu Zhen means. Feng Jing said with a smile: "Don't come to the banquet and don't come out with any money when you settle the bill." ”

The three of them chuckled under their breath. A few officials who came out of Xuandemen. The tribute priest, who always paid attention to the movements in the palace, immediately perked up. Dressed in solemn clothes. And slightly moved forward. Several ceremonial officers didn't talk nonsense either. Let everyone gather and stand. Begin to explain the etiquette rules that should be paid attention to when entering the palace. Half an hour later. After the explanation, the ceremonial officer randomly asked a few tributes to ask questions. I found that they did remember it very strongly. Then it was announced that everyone could enter the palace.

There was a slight uproar - and the mood of the individual was very happy. Several of the courtesians were apparently accustomed to this. Nothing was stopped. Motioned for the crowd to follow. He walked towards Xuande Gate. The crowd did not dare. In a pilgrimage-like mood. Follow-up. Miyagi of the Dynasty. In terms of imposing beauty. It cannot be compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing. I was fortunate enough to visit the Forbidden City. There is no doubt about this. But I don't know why. At the moment of walking into Xuande Gate. Chu Zhi felt that his heart was extremely complicated. It's hard to tell how excited and joyful it is. There was also a hint of awe.

Be cautious in what you say and do. Carefully follow the official to hold the palace examination in the palace. Under the arrangement of the ceremonial officials. Everyone sat down next to the bookcases that had already been prepared. Wait patiently. After a while. Hanlin Scholar Zhao Yi walked in. Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted. Zhao Yi responded with a smile. Then he led all the tributes to the forbidden direction.

Try to be named the emperor to preside. However, the emperor had to deal with the government every day. It's a lot of opportunities. It's already a rare thing to be able to take the time to review a few papers. You must know that the temple examination begins early in the morning. It doesn't end until sunset. Naturally, the emperor couldn't spend such precious time here.

After everything is in order. It's been the beginning of the exam. Zhao Ji took out the questions of the palace examination from the sealed brocade box. He chanted loudly: "Gai Wen was imprisoned in the first king's constitution, and he never followed the law of the first king, and those who passed by did not have it." Since the ancestors. 'The rule of the ancestors will be restored to the present, and there will be a way. The son of the doctor learned from the ancients, Gong Ming, Yu Zhidao, and waited for a long time, and wrote it in detail, and I will read it in person. ”

There is only one question to be tested. The meaning is very clear. That is, the emperor ruled the country according to the rule of his ancestors. The world is in great governance. However, I feel that the decrees left by my ancestors are somewhat out of place. But the emperor had doubts. At that time, the ancestors made such a decree. There must be a reason for them. The emperor is very conflicted. So I would like to hear the opinions of the tributes. At the same time, let the tributes solve the problem according to their meaning. Write a copy. For the Emperor's Imperial Review. The content is, of course, played by yourself. This not only tested the writing skills of the tributes. To test their opinions on how to govern the country. Reform. Isn't that more than a decade later? Listen to the questions. Chu Zhi was a little flustered. Then there was an immediate reaction. A few years ago, the Qingli New Deal. It is called the reform of the rule of officials. In fact, it also belongs to the category of law change. Moreover, the scholars and doctors who had the foresight to worry about the troubles in the court were also aware of the maladministration of the three redundancies. It's not uncommon for such questions to be asked.

It's just the problem. Should I advocate changing the law or not changing it? If it is in the period of the Divine Sect. Chu Zhen is naturally a firm supporter of the change. But now it's the Renzong Dynasty. What is Song Renzong's state about changing the law? Chu Zhen is really hard to guess. Say he wants to change the law. He also expelled Fan Zhongyan, who advocated the new one, from the imperial court. Say he doesn't want to change. Few years. and gradually used the ministers who supported Fan Zhongyan's reforms.

It's unpredictable. The emperor's mind is really not easy to guess. Chu sighed faintly. I thought about it for a long time. Finally decided. Hold the pen in ink. Write this sentence on the white rice paper: The law of the ancestors is not easy.
