Although there is still a palace test, but the palace test has always been just the second ranking, since the Song Renzong period Zhang Yuan palace test was deposed and Wu Hao defected to the Western Xia together, causing huge losses to the Great Song Dynasty, the palace test has rarely been dethroned, and it is no exception when I am in the Qing Dynasty; Therefore, the heart of the inkstone in the examination is relatively relaxed, their own good things around the contact will try to try the lifters to hold a literary meeting, poetry meeting, the heart of the inkstone is generous, sometimes from time to time can throw out one or two extremely amazing poems, soon became a popular person in this year's scholars, the heart of the inkstone also met a lot of useful people, such as the last time in the teahouse met which Wang Wenzhi, Anhui Shexian raised Cao Wenzhi and Bi Yuan, etc.

"Young master, why are there so few people in this move?" , I have participated in several literary meetings and have not met a full person, and I came back and asked curiously.

"This starts from when the Manchurian people just entered the customs!" , Regarding this issue, Chen Jialuo also heard Chen Shiqi talk about it when he was a child, "The earliest imperial examination in the Shunzhi period was actually divided into two lists of Manchu and Han, but letting those Tartars study will cost them their lives, and the articles of the two champions of the Manchu and Han Dynasty will be compared, where do you put the face of the Manchurians?" Therefore, this Manchu list can't be held for two sessions, and one of the Manchu champions of these two sessions is called Maleji and the other is called Tuerchen, and there are no articles and deeds left. Since then, the Manchus and Han have been united, but the Tartar court did not encourage Manchus and Mongols to participate in the imperial examinations, so as not to block the Han people's advancement. In fact, it's just that the Manchus and Mongols can become officials without the imperial examination, and they can't pass the Han in the imperial examination! Occasionally, there are Manchurians and Mongolians to participate in the imperial examination, and the examiner practice is to take care of them when they take the exam, and it is much easier than the Han people in the examination, in order not to look bad on the face, the Tatar court announced that the first three people in the final palace examination are only awarded to the Han people, that is, the so-called 'flag people do not occupy the Dingjia', 'the flag does not point the yuan', of course, they want to get the top three and do not have that fate! You see that there are several people in the military aircraft department now, Fu Heng was born as a royal guard, and he was just a treasury envoy of the Internal Affairs Office at the beginning, and later he also became a guard; This imperial guard and pen post style was a shortcut to the advancement of the Manchus and Mongols. In addition, there are grace, hereditary, translation and martial arts examinations, mixing in the barracks to enter the military merit, etc., this Qing Dynasty wants to be the head of the official and the Manchu people, which determines that the Manchu people's way to enter the official is much wider than that of the Han people, and they will spend this effort to study and take the imperial examination, so you can't see many Manchu people recently. In the final analysis, one is the need for the Manchus to control the imperial court, and the other is that they can't read the Han people.

During the 267 years of the Qing Dynasty, 112 courses were opened, and there were 26,000 jinshi; Only three of the top three Jinshi were Manchurian, two of them were taken by Shunzhi when they were divided, and only one Mongolian, Arut Chongqi, won the Tongzhi Yichou (1865) examination. However, this Chongqi was admitted to the top prize because his family was in the middle of the road when he was young, so he studied hard; His daughter also became the queen of the main palace of Emperor Tongzhi, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, after Tongzhi went out of the palace ** and got Hualiu died, Guangxu ascended the throne, Guangxu and Tongzhi are the same generation, the little uncle became the emperor, she was a little embarrassed as the queen, plus Cixi looked at her unpleasantly, and it was even more difficult. Chongqi found out what Cixi meant to the queen, and knew that the destiny was difficult, so he helped his daughter commit suicide, saying that the queen had made up her mind to die, and called Chongqi to ask how to die. Chongqi knelt outside and asked, "If you don't eat?" the queen said yes, so she died of hunger strike. The queen died, and Cixi went to the heart of the trouble, so she did not blame the past, ordered a thick burial, and called Xiaozhe. However, this Chongqi did not end well, after the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, his wife and daughter were detained to the Temple of Heaven, and were subjected to dozens of Eight-Nation Coalition Forces**, and the whole family committed suicide after returning.

"I see!" , Xin Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have been studying hard for more than ten years, but I can't compare to those Manchurians with a good background!" ”

"Since the Tang and Song dynasties, before this Tartar entered the customs, except for the time of Mengyuan, all scholars and the Son of Heaven ruled the world together; With Meng Yuan first, Tatar also knew that governing the country still depended on the scholars among the Han people, so he looked better on his face. Chen Jialuo tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly, "But in the final analysis, this Han man is still a few levels lower than the Manchu people, and now he can be called a first-class Manchurian and Mongolian second-class official, and a third-class and fourth-class man!" This Manchu and Mongolian are the first class people, this can be a second class person when he becomes an official, and he can be a third class person to bully the Han people when he devotes himself to the Manchu and Mongolian aristocratic mansions to do clothes! ”

Throughout the history of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, there were 120 Han people who served as cabinet scholars and co-organizers, and among the 120 Han people, there were 118 people who were born in the imperial examination, and only three of these 118 people were born in the imperial examination (it seems that Zuo Zongtang was one of them), and the remaining 115 people were all from Jinshi. Let's look at the Manchus again, there are 100 Manchus who have held the same position, of course, it does not mean that the Manchus are smaller than the Han people, it means that the Han people are superior, this is just that the Manchus have a smaller chance of being punished than the Han people when they make mistakes, so they stay in the court longer than the Han people. Let's take a look at the difference between the way of this hundred people and the Han people, among these people, there are 25 people who were born in the imperial examination, 21 people who served as pen posts, 14 people who were hereditary, 6 people who were born in the guard, 6 people who were born in the translation examination, 7 people who were born in the shade, 3 people who were born members, Zhongshu, the director, and Luan Yiwei (this position is actually in charge of the emperor, the guard of honor after the car, in the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to the function of Jinyiwei, and it was changed to Luan Yiwei during the Shunzhi period, and He Shen made his fortune in this position while Qianlong was comfortable, He is one of the two people who have become a scholar from Luan Yiwei) two people each, guards, prisoners, governors, magistrates, and treasury envoys (those who look at the treasury are all university scholars, how can you make those Han people who have read books for decades embarrassed), Bai Tang'a (Manchu. The original meaning is "useful" and "material", and by extension, "the person who listens to the errand" and "the person who listens to the use". In the Qing Dynasty, the unqualified stewards in the internal and external yamen, the craftsmen and doctors who accompanied the camp were collectively referred to as Baitang'a. ), donations (special ones even pay money to buy officials.) One person each. It can be seen that the Tartar court took great pains to maintain the control of the Manchus over the court!

"It can be seen that the Manchu and Han families advocated by the imperial court are just a joke!" , Xin Yan sighed, "With these Manchurians pressing on our heads, we Han people will not have a day to come out after all!" ”

The information on the way to enter the government comes from Han Xiaojie's 2006 graduate thesis of Liaoning Normal University, "The Path of Manchu People into the Qing Dynasty and the Political Research of the Qing Dynasty".
