Wushui County Founding Uncle, the Inner Ya Zuo Qinwei Mansion Zhonglang General Chang He went down to the rear, rode back to the house, and has been sad after entering the door.

Changing out of the court clothes, Chang He wore a round-necked robe and a leather belt with a hood, which was much easier.

walked into the study and asked the scholar to polish the ink and lay out the paper, but he picked up the pen and didn't hold back a word for a long time, and finally sighed, "Your Majesty, isn't this embarrassing for me and other rough people?" I'm a big man, and I don't know many words, so what can I say about the imperial examination. ”

"Chang Wei, do you know how to take the imperial examination?"

The scholar Chang Wei was a person who had followed Chang He for several years, and said with a smile, "Ah Lang asked me this, it is better to ask the coachman in the front yard Laifu, he may know more than me." ”

"If you can know a fart on a dog day, he will know a car and a horse, and you are also a scholar."

"Then Ah Lang is still a lieutenant general."

Chang He was extremely angry, "Forget it, you're just a named scholar, no more than the words I know." ”

"Ah Lang, we know a lot of words in Mr. Ma, it is said that he used to be a teaching assistant in Liaocheng County, why don't Ah Lang ask Mr. Ma."

Chang He slapped his thigh after hearing this, "Yes, why didn't Lao Tzu think about it." ”

So Chang He dropped his pen and got up to go to the West Courtyard to find Mr. Ma.

This Mr. Ma is also a magical person, he was originally a native of Chiping County, Qinghe, Hebei Province, became an orphan when he was young, his family was poor, and he was not respected by the state because of poverty and frustration, but it is extremely rare that although he was lonely since he was a child, his family was poor. But Mr. Ma was able to audit and become a talent, especially proficient in "Poems" and "Biography", but he was more of a fool.

Later, he went to Liaocheng County, Wuyang County next door, and applied for a job as a teaching assistant, but he finally got such a job, but he didn't take it very seriously, drank all day long, did not teach seriously, and was reprimanded by Shangguan many times, he simply left his post angrily, and then wandered around Henan in Shandong, and was insulted by a local county order, and he ran to Luoyang in a fit of anger, and it happened that the emperor drove to Chang'an.

So he also traveled west to Chang'an, but when he arrived in Chang'an, he had exhausted his entanglement, so he could only stay in the hotel in Xinfeng, outside Chang'an, and the hotel saw that he had no money to settle the bill, so he was unwilling to entertain this down-and-out scholar.

On this day, the store urged him to settle the bill again, Ma Zhou sighed, so he asked for a bucket of eight liters of wine, and made a bet with the store that if he could drink it, he would ask the store to waive his travel expenses.

This attracted everyone to watch, and it happened that Zhonglang passed by Chang He at that time, and he was very surprised to see Chang He really drank this bucket of eight liters.

inquired about his identity and found that he was a Hanmen scholar from the county next to Wushui County, his fiefdom, so he invited him to his house as a guest, usually helping him teach his children, and handling letters on his behalf.

When Chang He found Mr. Ma, he was leisurely reading the newspaper, with his legs on the case, while Chang He's son was copying hundreds of family names.

Luo Dan, Qin Li, Yan Cui, Zheng Wang.

"Mr. Ma!"

Chang He greeted with a smile, and when Ma Zhou saw that the proprietor was coming, he also folded his legs.

"The proprietor is scattered."

"Mr. Ma is still used to staying here with me, these little rabbit cubs must be very naughty, please Mr. be more attentive, disobedient and unwilling to study hard, so whip them."

"A few sons are still very attentive to their studies." Ma Zhou can only say this, the sons of Jiangmen are all like to dance with knives and guns, and they really have neither talent nor heart for reading.

Chang He then pulled Ma Zhou to the living room on the other side, so that people could brew excellent Longjing green tea.

"This tea is rewarded by His Majesty this spring, Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, it was rewarded with a catty, but there is no price outside, some people are shouting to Baiguan for a catty. But I'm old and coarse, and I don't know much about tea. ”

Ma Zhou smiled, the Son of Heaven is good at stir-fried tea, and likes to make tea, so in recent years, nobles and scholars have rushed to follow suit, and the traditional sencha in the past is not popular.

"Ah Lang also thinks highly of me, Ma Zhou has to drink, he knows a little bit about wine, as for this tea, he really doesn't pay attention to it."

"Hahaha, Mr. Ma has always been so free and easy, I like you like you, although you are a poet and book, but you have an appetite, but some readers, that hypocrisy, I hate it very much."

"Ah Lang even took out this royal dragon well today, there must be something to say to Ma Zhou, Ah Lang might as well say it bluntly!"

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from Mr. Ma, it's something to trouble Mr. Ma, it's about reading people. Recently, His Majesty has been discussing with the officials of the Imperial Court about the reopening of the imperial examination, but His Majesty does not want to simply follow the imperial examination of the Sui Dynasty, but wants to increase the intensity of the imperial examination·······"

Chang He immediately said some of the imperial court's plans for the imperial examination, such as one subject a year, and as long as the person is a good person, he can surrender himself, and the students of the government and schools at all levels, as well as the folk scholars, can also go to the government to sign up for the assessment, and after passing, they can obtain the status of a township tribute.

Then there are five examinations in the Great Qin Imperial Examination, including the county, county, road, Ministry of Rites, and palace examination, and those who pass are Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, etc.

"The palace examination is not eliminated, only the ranking, presided over by the emperor, personally reviewed and assessed the famous generals, and was listed as the top three. There are only three people in the first class, the first name is Zhuangyuanlang, the second name is Bangyanlang, and the third name is Tanhualang. A first-class jinshi and the first. ”

"The second class is a Jinshi background."

"The top three are born as Jinshi."

The emperor will also preside over the flower feast of the new science and technology jinshi, and the title of the golden palace, pass on the chanting, after the passing, the first three people arrange flowers and wear red, the champion uses gold and silver hairpins, and the scholars use colorful flowers, and the drum and honor guard hugs the cluster out of the court, crosses the horse and parades the street, and prepares the umbrella cover instrument to send back to the residence of the hall. The rest of the second and third are out of the palace by Donghua and Xihuamen.

The more Ma Zhou listened, the wider his eyes widened.

"Is this true?"

"These are all said by His Majesty himself, can it be true? His Majesty attaches great importance to the imperial examination, saying that as long as you pass the county examination and become a showman, you will have the qualifications to be an official. If you pass the provincial examination, you can be appointed as the head of the township pavilion, the county clerk, the county cao zuo and other officials, if you pass the ministry examination, you are eligible to be appointed as the county secretary of the county or the county governor, or the central provincial department or the local county governor. ”

"This is really a carp jumping over the dragon gate." Ma Zhou said excitedly.

When he was a county teaching assistant, he was reluctant to teach classes, because the students included in the county school at that time were all officials or the children of local heroes, and few of them were willing to study sincerely, and the students refused to read, and their parents did not pay attention to it, so what did he teach?

But as a scholar, Ma Zhou is still very ambitious, and hopes that his talents will one day be appreciated by Zaifu, or favored by the emperor, and he can also show his strengths.

"I don't know what Ah Lang wants Ma Zhou to do when he looks for me?"

"That's the case, now the court and the Chinese are still arguing about this imperial examination, what should be examined, such as how many subjects should be set up, as the emperor said, whether to set up only the Jinshi department, or to add arithmetic, law, books, medicine, etc., this level of examination, what content should be examined, how many people should be recruited at each level, these are still being debated, some people say that they want to test literature and poetry, some people say that they want to test scriptures, Your Majesty therefore asked the officials of the court and China to write down suggestions and play, each has expressed his opinion, you say that I am a big old man where do I understand these things, so, ah, I would like to ask Mr. Ma for you to help me write, you are a reader, you must know these better. ”

Ma Zhou nodded unceremoniously, "Okay, I'll write it!" ”

"Bookmark for easy reading"
