Chapter 293 Scientific Expedition (1) (3rd Update)
If you say what day is the most lively in Chang'an in May, it is not the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5, but the scientific expedition on May 16.
Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival is also very lively, but in order to make way for the imperial examination, many programs have been canceled, and even Li Ye plans to organize a dragon boat team to race dragon boats.
Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race is a custom in the south, but Li Ye also wanted to have a dragon boat race in Chang'an, but it was not a coincidence that he happened to encounter the imperial examination, so he had to give up.
However, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chang'an City is still very lively.
Chang'an has lifted the curfew, although this will increase the pressure on the officials of Chang'an County and Wannian County, but it will have a great effect on the economic development of Chang'an. As for the lack of servants, direct recruitment is.
In addition to Chang'an, Chengdu, Xingyuanfu, Fengxiang and other larger cities have lifted their curfews. The abolition of the curfew is a good thing for business development, as for the commercial taxes paid, they will be earned back in a blink of an eye, and they will earn more than a thousand, so what is there to be dissatisfied with.
However, by May 16, the entire city of Chang'an was talking about this year's imperial examination.
Compared with previous years, more than 5,000 people participated in the imperial examination this year, which is not much, but it is not too much. More than half of them are from the areas currently under the actual control of the imperial court, and for the children of the poor families in these places, this year's scientific expedition can be described as a benefit.
The place of the scientific examination is in Guozijian, and the more than 5,000 candidates do not have much pressure on Guozijian.
This year's scientific examination is different from previous years, in the past, it was a few days in a row, and it was not allowed to come out in the middle. This year is different, except for the Jinshi and Ming Jing subjects, there are three exams, one for one day, and there are a lot of test questions, so you have to hurry up.
Xiucai is different.
There are a total of four sets of rolls, two sets a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each exam takes two hours, and there is an hour of rest and meal time at noon, which is more flexible than that of Jinshi and Mingjing.
Of course, this year's exams are different from the past.
Why is it difficult to get into the Jinshi subject? Because Jinshike must pass three levels in a row.
The examination subjects of the Jinshi Department are the most important poems in order, then the scriptures, and finally the current affairs.
In the past, the Shike was a knockout round, and if the poetry was not good, you could not participate in the Thesutra exam, which means that you were eliminated this year, until the third level of the current policy, and then select dozens of people to be this year's Jinshi.
The Ming Classics Department is not so cruel, so there are more people in the exam.
This year is different, the Jinshi Department has canceled the elimination system, that is, the test is three days, and then distinguish between the open family and the cold door, the family selects the top six in the total score, and the cold door selects the top nine in the total score, and finally forms this year's fifteen Jinshi.
The same is true of the Ming Jingke.
On the contrary, Li Ye did not require a ratio of two to three, because in his opinion, most of the people who took the Xiucai test were poor, so there was no such ratio requirement, and each depended on his ability.
Some people may feel that this is unfair and unfair to the family.
But there is no fairness in this world, Li Ye wants to suppress the family, for the Hanmen, this is fairness. The so-called fairness is only because of the different positions, so the conclusions that can be seen are not the same.

"Brother Han Yuanxian, how did you report the Xiucai Branch? Even if it's the Ming Jing Branch, it's better than the Xiucai Branch! β
Originally, the Jinshi Department looked down on the Ming Jing Branch, and even looked down on the newly established Xiucai Department, and even the Jinshi Branch and the Ming Jing Department despised the Xiu Cai Branch.
The three exams are all in Guozijian, although they are not in the same examination room, and they all have to enter through the gate of Guozijian. So there was a strange scene at the gate of Guozijian, the line of Jinshi was particularly long, followed by the Ming Jing Branch, and the Xiucai Branch was the shortest.
Even if the Jinshi Branch and the Ming Jing Department are divided into several columns, there are still many people.
There was already discrimination, so the voices of discussion never stopped, and it was generally the people who laughed at the candidates in the other two subjects.
In the past, the Ming Jing Department was ridiculed, but now there is a Xiucai Department, so the candidates of the Ming Jing Department vented their grievances on the Xiucai Branch.
Originally, the atmosphere at the scene was not right, but as soon as Cui Yin said this, for a while, both Jinshike and Mingjingke looked at the thin Xiucaike next to them.
"The surname is Cui, which subject do you and I report to, and what does it matter to you?" Seeing those contemptuous eyes, Xiao Hanyuan couldn't help but take the initiative to provoke Cui Yin.
The two are classmates, and they are both students. It stands to reason that Cui Yin should go to study in Guozijian, but his father Cui Shenyou has passed away, and there is a clansman in their Qinghe Cui clan, Cui Zhaowei, who is an assistant teacher in Taixue, so he studied in Taixue.
Although Cui Yin's father has passed away now, no one dares to underestimate him because he was born in the Cui clan of Qinghe.

Although Xiao Hanyuan's father, Xiao Rong, is a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, he is from a poor family, and his background cannot be compared with the Qinghe Cui family at all.
In addition, Cui Yin's talent is far greater than Xiao Hanyuan's, and the two of them are a little dirty, so when they saw Xiao Hanyuan standing on Xiucaike's side, they couldn't help but laugh and show their existence.
"It's just a pity, it's better to take the Ming Jing subject than the Xiucai subject, you see how many people take the test, it can be seen that the Xiucai subject is not popular." Cui Yin seemed to regret it as a friend, but many people heard the mockery.
"Brother Cui is a little excessive, the Xiucai Branch was opened by His Majesty himself, do you think His Majesty's decision is wrong?" Yang Wending, who was next to him, couldn't bear to see his friend being insulted, so he came out to help.
Cui Yin's words can be said to have offended the candidates on the side of Xiucai, and for a while, these people attacked them in groups, but in the face of the many Jinshi and Mingjing candidates, they still had some confidence.
Seeing that it was Yang Wending, Cui Yin shut up, he couldn't answer it if he didn't say it, and the identity of the other party also made him a little jealous.
Offending Xiao Hanyuan will make Xiao Rong unhappy at most, but it is impossible for the other party to deal with him as a junior. But Yang Wending is different, people who can study in Taixue know each other's identities.
At first, many people wondered how Yang Wending could enter Taixue, but after discovering that he lived in Shouwang's Mansion, they all died down.
Being able to live in Shouwangfu is definitely not a descendant of the palace, so it can only explain one problem, the other party is a relative of the female relatives of Shouwangfu, temporarily living in Shouwangfu, and it also belongs to the relatives of Shouwang's favored women, otherwise how can he live in Shouwangfu.
Who is Shouwang? Your Majesty Today!
Cui Yin suddenly died down, which made Kong Chongbi on the side a little curious, "Brother Cui, is that?" β
For Xiao Hanyuan, Kong Chongbi naturally heard of it, but he didn't know about Yang Wending next to him, and when he saw Cui Yin being soft, he was a little curious.
Cui Yin said in a low voice, "That's Zhang Zhaoyi's brother-in-law in the palace." β
Kong Chongbi understood, no wonder Cui Yin would be soft, if the other party casually said two bad words in front of Zhang Zhaoyi, and then Zhang Zhaoyi blew the wind in his ears in front of His Majesty, even if Cui Yin was from the Qinghe Cui family, he could have a good life.
"How did he go to Xiucaike?" Kong Chongbi was a little puzzled.
For Zhang Zhaoyi, he knew a little, and heard that he was one of the two palace maids who followed His Majesty to Xichuan in his early years.
"I don't know." Cui Yin looked helpless.
The confrontation between Cui Yin and Xiao Hanyuan started and ended quickly, but this is very common in today's scenes.
"I don't know what the title of today's poem is?" Zheng Gu said with some concern.
"Brother Zheng, why are you worried so much, isn't poetry a trivial matter for you and me? The most rare thing is the current policy. A man slightly older than Zheng Gu next to him said.
The poetry questions of the Tang Dynasty Jinshi Examination were not determined in advance, but were played by the examiner on the spot. If you see the peach blossoms blooming, it may be based on the theme of peach blossoms; If you see a swallow, it is very likely that you will write about a swallow, anything is possible, which is unimaginable in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Not everyone is good at poetry, and they are not good at all kinds of poetry.
Some people are good at writing about snow scenes, some people are good at writing about love, and some people are good at writing about war. If you're lucky, you'll be able to meet what you're good at; If you're unlucky, you'll have to resign yourself to your fate.
Just when these candidates were talking, the two gates of Guozijian opened from the inside, and then a team of soldiers wearing brocade uniforms came out of it, and when they saw these arrogant soldiers, the scene became quiet.
They thought that this scientific expedition would be supervised by the Jingzhao Mansion or the Ministry of Rites at most, but they didn't expect it to be Jinyiwei.
Now although Jinyiwei is not responsible for the responsibility of the guard, his power has not decreased but increased, in addition to intelligence, that is, the prison of the edict.
Imperial prisons have existed in all dynasties, mainly involving cases that must be dealt with by the emperor's decree, and are generally members of the imperial court.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was the Northern Military Prison, also known as the Inner Prison, the well-known Qiu Shiliang was the manager of the Northern Military Prison and the leader of the Shen Ce Army, and the Luoyang Temple was also a well-known Imperial Prison.
Before, the edict was in the hands of eunuchs, but now Li Ye handed over the edict to Jinyiwei.
Of course, the edict does not mean that Jinyiwei can arrest people without authorization, and there must be the consent of Li Ye, the emperor. Moreover, the trial of the case must also have the participation of Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the Criminal Department, which is to check and balance each other.
Of course, at present, the edict is still just a decoration, and there is no one in it, even those ministers who were involved in the night of the first century before have basically been demoted.
Therefore, the current edict is a bluff, but in fact, the prison cell has not even been repaired.
Maybe I didn't see the cruel side of Jinyiwei, so I didn't have much fear of the candidates on the scene of Jinyiwei.
Seeing the chaotic scene in front of them, several officials from the Ministry of Rites took the small officials below to maintain order, announced the discipline of the examination room, and then officially entered the venue.
"Next, attention candidates. Entering from this gate, the left side leads to the Ming Jing Science Examination Room, the middle is the Jinshi Science Examination Center, and the right side is the Xiucai Science Examination Center.
Due to the large number of candidates for Jinshi and Ming Jing, please do not make noise when queuing up to enter. Moreover, it is strictly forbidden to cheat, and violators will be disqualified from the examination and will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for five years. β
After speaking, these candidates couldn't wait to prepare to enter the venue, where could the officials of the Ministry of Rites maintain order, so the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard were dispatched, and once there were crowded, cut in line, and made loud noises, they would be thrown out directly, and the examination would be disqualified, and you would not be given a chance to explain at all.
In the face of Jinyiwei's unreasonable methods, after having dozens of examples, the rest of the people are honest.
There are also people who are scolding Jinyiwei in a low voice, and they want to sue or something.
As a result, the Jinyi guard soldiers ignored him at all and wanted to sue? Go to the palace to find Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei is directly under the jurisdiction of Your Majesty, and you have the ability to sue the royal court.
